PILGRIMS! PILGRIMS! PILGRIMS! a.k.a Sydney 2008 part one

ok fine my internet quota has finished and i have been throttled... I MISS UNLIMITED BROADBAND!!! oh well loooong overdue post about my trippy to SeeDoONee... so here goes...

well so i'm back dear frens from sydney.. i decided to go on a short holiday to the first state Sydney.... that was from 11 to 17 july.... boy was it a wrong time to go.. coz of the world youth day and the pope coming down and all there were ALOT of pilgrims... the Catholicism in the air was so thick u could cut it wit a knife... but anyho how more on that later...

so that my frens is the XPT train that will bring me and my fellow travellers to sydney from brisbane... we were crazy enuff to take it coz it takes 14 FREAKING HOURS... me and my frens were thinking wat the ho hay... when are u gonna take the train cross country? well i can proudly say survived it and NEVER AGAIN shall i do it again. like i was all excited in the beginning but taht lasted all but a few hours. we weren't prepared like the other commuters who brought books and pillows and even dvd players.. so we spent most of the 14 hours eatign and sleeping which my frens is not a good way to spend 14 hours on a train...
Nice view no? so we reached sydney like at night and we arrived at the hotel to the greetings of rowdy drunk men in front of the hotel for u see there was a pub below the hotel... how nice....
The Grand Hotel.. sure looks grand and like a haunted house honestly.. but it was clean and comfy enuff... and had a heater which was good in the chilly winters of sydney.. so thats my journey to sydney...

wat i did there, well tahts another post for another day no?

Post Without Reason

ok so i over estimated myself... i woke up abit early and now i have nothing to do... thus i decided to post a blog post while the inspiration is still here...

look at the pretty flowers aren't they pretty.. and i think they are becoming my favourite flower.. its called the Blushing Bride Protea.. its just very delicate looking and so so pretty...


AnyHo Hay... i was facebook surfing (as i am prone to do these days and i'm not facebook stalking okay!!) and came across an album from some random person.. its was his photo album for his sending of to where else.... Aussie!!! (bleargh)... but anyways as i was happily surfing through the album and looking for eye candy (ok i'm bored okay) and came across a few pics of him at the gate... and of course there are a few pics of him shedding a few tears.. aahh brings back memories...

it was oh about 4 months or so that i was in that position.... packing up and leaving everything in search for an education in a foreign land... its traumatic.. at least in that very moment in time wen u have to leave... it really did feel painful to leave... i know how u feel random dude!!! its okay to cry... its means u have great love inside and it shows... (that my fren is a post for another day..about crying i mean...)

but we as humans are built to adapt and sooner or later we settle into the new environment.. just the other day i had a deja vu moment.. i was clearing my notes from the first semester to make way for the new semester and was tidying up a few drawers that i hadn't opened since i first landed..

it was a nostalgic moment... i remember the feeling of wanting to go back so badly.. i still do now but now i have learnt patience.. i was thinking to myself that i will open this drawer again in 3 months and then i'll open it again to pack my stuff back into my luggage...

its funny how as students in a foreign land, blogs become such a necessity... ok most students.. there are a few who don't feel the need to blog... to each his own... but isn't it funny how blogs become such an access point for ur frens and sometimes family to get news and updates....

haiz i dunno wat i'm talking about la... i'm just blogging while i cultivate my shit....and i feel it has cultivated enough.... so see ya soons y'all....
