a different light indeed

and so we called up the internet company after the promised "it'll be connected in 2-3 days". and so we weren't connected. after an annoying 20 minutes we were told "oh one of our staff forgot to activate you account. we can only do it next monday". good job guys. so 2-3 days actually means 9-10 days here? does it apply to my assignment due dates as well ? cos if it is i'll be so damn glad.

a different light. indeed

right now my days are spent mulling around the house. although school starts in like 4 days i can't do anything cos of the stupid internet connection. will probably head down to school with my lappy to d/l the notes. i should be heading down to the Coast if the monkeys are willing to go.

waiting

and so here i am back at the library like a destitute who's gone to the shelter for his free bowl of soup. damn my internet connection connection is still not active and i feel so useless without it.
went around town yesterday to get some clothes and was utterty disgusted when i realised i couldn't fit into almost ALL of them wtf!. my boardshorts size is like 30 and it's already hanging on my hips and the smallest size they had there was like..34. well done. guess i'll have to buy kids clothes or eat potatoes and junk food everyday. but luckily, i managed to find right sizes for tops at "Cotton On" i think it's like our equivilent at giordano. 2 polo tees for A$30. so COTTON ON FTW. i shall make it my anchor store. hopefully the factory outlets at Gold Coast will have my size if not i'll just have to cry more.

i miss my cable modem

it's been 8 days since i've arrived. since then i ahve moved into a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment on queen street (the equivilent of orchard road) and it takes me abt 20 minutes to get to school (on foot + bus) . The bus is, amazingly, FREE. the words which most people like to hear. so i guess i'll be saving quite abit on transport. But then again, i intend to get a mountain bike as the streets are kinda questionable when it gets as early as 8pm.
right now i still need a fan, a study lamp, a bicycle?, an the much needed INTERNET CONNECTION. just living without it makes me want to die. Will probably need clothes to cos i look to un-local to blend in with the people there. oh whatever. should be driving down to gold coast this weekend if everything works out well.

save me. I NEED INTERNET
