Well there we have it… phase two of my gap year is up and running!! WOO! Yes i arrived nice and sound in Melbourne and was not stopped at customs by big scary (but oh so cute) sniffer dogs. WOO!<\/p>\n
I flew to singapore with Ben and we wondered around aimlessly to eat much foods… then he proceeded to whip my ass 10-1 in games of 9-ball pool… ass.<\/p>\n
How long does it take you to get ripped-off when on holiday? me? it didnt even wait til i was in australia… in singapore i went to change money into aussie dollars and the guy gave me three aussie $2 notes… it wasnt til later that i learnt that the australian $2 hasnt been used in many years and is now completly worthless… people will laugh and point at me. i will be the but of all jokes. ass.<\/p>\n
In good news Ben’s mum, K-rol, gave me a Thien-Hock shirt as a leaving present!! WOOOO!! I have now become the 3rd person in the history to have this shirt (behind Ben and Jess)! how awesome is that! you will bow-down to me and my shirt! ace.<\/p>\n
Flight to Aus was long… plus ALL the entertainment on the flight wasnt working so i had to settle for reading the new Michael Moore book “Dude, where’s my country”… dam good. WOO!<\/p>\n
The plan? i’m off job-searching sometime soon… although to be perfectly honest i dont really work here, but i need something to help me travel around, and some money never goes amiss.<\/p>\n
So far its been going like this: Mike goes to work, i wake up late and talk to erin all day and play with the guinee pigs (spl?). Its so sweet that my bro has his own place… he must feel achieved.<\/p>\n
I did my first bit of “responsability thing” today… i called the department of immigration and they told me that my visa was ok and there was no problems:<\/p>\n
Me: Hello immigration guy
\nHim: Hi
\nMe: I have a visa
\nHim: Awesome… does it have writting on it and the australian seal?
\nMe: Yes
\nHim: Cool no problems there then
\nMe: Ace.<\/p>\n
That was that then… they guy couldnt have been much over 20 and was pretty decent… i will invite him to my birthday party in july.<\/p>\n
Edo and Ben come here in febuary… it will be much rocks! although i think edo should come sooner so we can laugh much and explore this city together… little boy in big city syndrome.<\/p>\n
Just wanted to tell the people back in brunei that i miss them… take care my northside-brunei brethren, you will not be forgotten.<\/p>\n
and ishan: you are cool boots. spread the word my friend… spread the word.<\/p>\n
out.<\/p>\n
