Living Upbeat: I'm back!

Hello to the world again!!! I'm not dead. It's just that I've been waiting for my internet modem to arrive for soooooo long, and now, IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!!!!!!!

The posts will be messy and disorganized until I manage to update everything. Speaking of the internet service provider at my place, I'm using Optus, and not many people use their internet service, reason being, there are many cheaper service provider out there. Being a newbee in town, I was sooooo busy trying to sort things out during the first week I arrived at Sydney. Too busy to search for the offices of other internet service provider, we (my siblings & I) went to the Optus store at Belmore Road, Randwick since I did everything else there (got a contract Blackberry from Three, banking service...). Anyways, it was just for convenience sake. So now I'm paying $64 per month for the 60GB of internet usage. It's a little expensive. Whatever, I have 60G, I can download anything!!!! So yesterday morning, the Optus technician came to my apartment to fix the cables and all and when I arranged for the appointment, I asked the person to arrange for the earliest run possible, since I was almost dying without internet. It was supposed to be 8am, but the techician arrived 10 minutes early, which was when my alarm rang. I brushed my teeth and ran down to open da gate for him. When I saw him, " OH MY GOODNESS!!!! Why do they send a hot technician to me when it's 7.50am?!?!

SYDNEY

House inspection is not something I'd like to do in the near future. It was so stressful when I just arrived and had to look for a place to stay! Anyways, the days when there wasn't any inspection, we explored Sydney!!!

My dad is a very Chinese-oriented man when it comes to food. So, where else but the best Chinatown in Australia!

This was a damn tasty fried rice with fish roe.

I miss the times when I had fancy dinner whenever my dad is around. Now, I have to keep track of my expenditure, plus, how much can one person eat? Oh winter, come quick! So my parents can come and I'll have fancy meals!!!

"Wicked" is the latest musical in Sydney. It has received countless good reviews, I'd like to watch it!
