The first couple of weeks when I first came back from Malaysia went by quite slowly. Most of my friends were still away, and Uni hasn’t started yet. Just spent lots of time reading….haha! Yes, reading which I rarely did when I was back home! My new hobby was also inspired by the fact that I’ve been living without a TV for a month now eversince my previous flatmate moved out. And…..we’ve turned the house into a little reading café……so will see how long I can sustain without a TV!

But now, things are picking up. I’ve got work, practical placement, Uni classes and new church commitment…..which I’m excited but at the same time learning to juggle my time. I have to thank God that He answered my prayer again in giving me a practical placement that I have been asking for in a high school college and it is run based on Christian principles. So, this semester, I will be dealing with adolescents who have learning difficulties, social and emotional problems. Time for me to reflect again about what I went through myself as an adolescent haha!……hmmm….if I can recall…..

Also, part of my life here in Brisbane has turned me into a seasoned bus traveler. I’ve learned almost all the bus routes here believe it or not! My highest record of busses that I took to travel in a day was 7 busses. From my house – Uni – Toowong – Head Office – city – Work place – city – church office.

So, there you go – my life in Brisbane! I miss the movie nights, “mamak” nights and my car which is happily taken care of by my sis back home......I hope!
