Note: This was in draft for 2 days already. Pics at last.
Hey guys. It’s been 2 days since I have arrived here in Sydney. I am not very happy at the moment. ICMS is quite empty at the moment coz it’s holiday and most of the students are not in. I felt so lonely coz there arent any ppl around and I didnt see any familiar faces altho Jia Wei and Lai are here. I didnt look for them.To me, it didnt felt like I was in a college or what. Maybe it’s just the quietness. Tomorrow will be the day new students start checking in. Hopefully, I’ll get to see my roommates soon.
Superwoman super failed. I cried 6 times yesterday and 1 time today. A considerable improvement if you asked me. I didnt want to cry actually but my parents called me 1 hr after I landed. Asked me why didnt I called them coz they were worried abt me.Told me to be careful and this that. I was unpacking at that time. I wanted to finish all the ‘chores’ before I call them. When I was talking to my mum, the tears has already welled up in my eyes but I couldnt cry on the phone. As soon as we hung up, I just burst into tears. After all the sob sob sob, I cleaned up, went down and ask for directions from the receptionist. She gave me directions to go to the Corso which is an area of shops, cafes, banks and bla bla bla. It’s supposedly 5 mins walk there but for me, it’s abt 10-15 mins to reach there coz it’s downhill and my legs are short but 15-20 mins going back to ICMS coz it’s fucking uphill.
I opened a bank account with ANZ and walked about the Corso. Next to the Corso is the Manly Beach. Before I got to Sydney, I thought the Manly Beach is reli 5 mins walk so I was thinking of jogging there. But now, no need la wtf. Just run up and down the hill can oredi. Will die wei...Bought some necessities from Coles, a supermarket. And some fries + nuggets from Hungry Jack’s. The fries + nuggets are still on my table now. I have no appetite at all rite now. Yesterday, I just took a sip of water and a few fries+ 1 nugget. After all the Corso-exploring I went back to ICMS at around 12pm and stayed in my room for the rest of the day and cried. After crying, I took a walk around ICMS and went back to my room agn. There I stayed until the next morning.
I was so tired from all the walking and crying that I slept at around 7pm+. Woke up agn at around 10pm coz I received a msg from my dad. After reading it, I cried agn wtf. Fell asleep a while later. Then it was the next morning. Woke up at about 7am+, slp agn until 9am+. I wanted to lie in bed all day coz although I wasnt tired, my whole body felt tired. I told myself this is no way to spend your day in Sydney. Chin up. I got this phrase from my horoscope reading from a magazine. Yes, chin up. I got up, showered and walked to Manly Wharf. Before I left, I forced myself to eat an apple. Even though I wasnt hungry at all, I know I have to eat something in order to do something. I took the 30 mins ferry to Circular Quay.
There, I reach the city of Sydney. I walked along Park St then I saw Payless Shoes. It was having a sale so I went in and managed to find a pair of sports shoes which is $16 only. Happy! Further down Park St is Woolworths. It’s another supermarket but I think the things are a bit cheaper than here in Manly. Bought a gold kiwifruit and another apple. I walked to Hyde Park and ate my kiwi sitting on a fountain. It was nice and windy. After my ‘lunch’, I walked agn to Market St which houses most of the shopping area. Bought a cute short trench coat for $12.95 only. I looked at my watch and saw that it’s almost 4.30pm. Gotta return before 6pm coz it’ll be dark and I dun want to walk uphill in the dark. I got back at around 5.30pm. I finished my remaining nuggets, unpack all my items and type this post. And oh, I cried 2 times today. I cried agn while typing this post. Sigh...
Here are some pics:
