*Breathe breathe breathe*

This trip has proven to be a real test of my patience. WHEW. Okay this might be something unusual to rant about because I probably should have bigger things to worry about and all but HECK, this is the only issue that has compelled me to blog. And that is, I really don't know how much longer I can stand being around my parents.

PLEASE DON'T GET ME WRONG.

You must understand. I have never, NEVER I repeat, spent this amount of time with my parents ALONE. Sure my family does go on the occasional holiday for like a week or 2 at a stretch, but at least my siblings would be around!!!! I'm dying. Dying for some companionship besides that of my parents. Again, do not misunderstand, I love my parents very much and I am truly grateful that they are here to help see me through this tough transition period. Today itself they have helped set up my bank account and followed me to find accommodation(which we secured, thankfully). I admit, I could never do any of that on my own. Nothing this large scale. Maybe moving to another place in the same country I can manage. But moving to a new country? NO WAY. So yes, thank you Mother and Father, I owe you 2 my life really.

But I am sorry. You need to leave. SOON. Or at least leave me alone.=( God. I spent a whole 12 hours with them today and I feel like my head is about to explode any minute now. Thank god I have been returned to my laptop in a corner of my Aunt's place - the closest place to home right now - while my parents converse with my cousin in the kitchen downstairs. I have been really good okay. I didn't snap at my mum the WHOLE DAY. Even though my tongue was dying to lash out some unfriendly words. I don't want that. There is no point in that. Unnecessary unhappiness. So please please please, I hope now that the bulk of my concerns before uni have been addressed, I can have more time to myself. ALONE.

Please don't think any less of me after reading this. That's just my idea of family. I know it's not the best nor ideal, but it's the only way I know how to function in my family. For now at least.

Will school start already?


And oh yah, if you didn't manage to pick out certain updates in that rant, here's a summary:

- I have an Australian bank account! (not that it really matters to anyone else. Hahaha)

- I have a place to stay!=D (Which is just opposite UNSW! I take 2 mins to walk to school! WTH! Awesomeness. It's a decent place. But I'm staying with a Chinese family(that consists of an old couple, their ancient mother and a daughter) and another student from China. This is the only part I feel kinda urgh about. But they will cook for me and do my laundry. Hahahaha.)

- I got my student ID card! (The office where you get it is kinda interesting. It has like a bank counter, you take a few steps back form the counter and take a seat against a white screen. Staring right at you IN the counter is a camera that takes your ID photo. Lol. My camera was a bit lopsided and so was my hair. o.o But at least I managed a decent smile.=D So all's well. Hahaha)
