Transition

leaving singapore was harder than i thought..the following people were at the airport..no offence, but i think i’m ‘glad’ that keith didnt come..cos if he did, it’d be too much..he typed after i called and said that actually he considered coming but decided not to, whatever the reason, i’m thankful..i almost wanted to type to jerry and ask if he’s coming before he got changed..ethel and him came in the taxi with me and dad..eeee went with kor and mommy in the camry..

here’s the family, mommy, dad, eeee, uncle victor (who met us there) and kor..

this is ‘manda and aunty lina..

this is van, marie and val..

and yeah…hi ethel!

this is kor

this is us 4..

and this is perth from the airport..it was a wet, wet morning..

and this made it better…

we hung about the city after depositing the bags at the comfort inn place the parents are staying in and had breakfast..we settled the bank and everything, got my optus pre-paid card and stuff..SO…yeah, sam picked us and this is the view from his living room.

sam’s family have turned out to be absolutely great! but wow. it’s been difficult..

here’s them..michelle, sam, talani and jacquin

hello..allison..she’s from montana in the US..mountain-y place..very scenic..

HAHAHAHA! HELLO. this is outside my room..they’re really, really friendly kiddies..

michelle looks after this baby for a friend.and her name is erin, who has thunder thighs that talani wanted to show me…

HAHAHAHA!! erin likes fruit bread, she’s so adorable…

and so this is the end of my second day in perth. it’s been easy and diffcult all at the same time, but it’s getting better. i’ve got my oz number activated and i’ve the bank accounts settled..

oh, being able to do the oz accent has worked well to my advantage..i had to call the bank this morning, and they really could not understand me. and i made very sure i didnt have the singlish on at all.. but.. excuse me. the conversation went noticeably smoother when i switched to ausTRAIlian..omg.
