So where have I disappeared to these days?? I’ve actually rolled off my first project and started on my second project since 2nd week of September. On the 15th September I flew interstate to Adelaide and am now currently flying there every Monday morning and back every Friday evening. The novelty is wearing off now hehe. Initially I was thinking how in the world will I be able to adapt?? I’ve lived at home all my life with grandma cooking for us. Dinner was always already waiting for me whenever I returned home from work. I always had people around in the house, had people to talk to etc. Whereas going interstate meant I was just by myself…

First day I hopped into the taxi to the airport, I was tearing as I left the driveway – never been away from home by myself, let alone for that long. My assignment on this project is until April 2009! I was feeling a little home sick after I got there. But I felt very fortunate, grandma, parents, aunties, friends called to make sure I was ok. I feel a little babied but very lucky and fortunate that I had so many people who cared enough to call up to make sure I was ok. Even though one friend called just to make sure I landed in Adelaide and not some other city and another called a few days later to make sure I wasn’t mal-nutritioned

First week I was at a serviced apartment, didnt like it too much since it was a little old, with a nice view of the prison and the shower curtain was getting to me although it was nice to have a little kitchen etc. Second week I was at Sebel Playford with a king size bed. Third week in another hotel with two single beds which kept me up at night because I was scared of rolling off the bed. And this week I was back at Sebel Playford with two queen size beds hehe

I’ve been literally living life out of a suitcase. I spent Saturday washing my shirts and ironing them, today will be spent packing my suitcase again ready to depart tomorrow morning. I’m getting a little sick of thinking of what to buy to eat everyday for lunch and dinner… and also missing those catch up with colleagues or friends over lunch in Melbourne But hopefully this interstate experience proves to be a valuble experience for me
