Sydney here I come!

I know I haven't been blogging for quite some time. Well...for those who know me I'm not the biggest fan of writing....sometimes I get lazy and then I procrastinate and etc. Nothing much has been happening lately except for the fact that I'll be leaving for Sydney on the 9th Feb and I'm in the midst of getting all my stuffs ready.

Many have been asking when I'll be back and honestly I myself do not know. So what I usually say is "when my passport expires in 2011". My plan is to try and stay in Sydney for as long as I can and if I can't stay, my next stop would be New Zealand, and then if I still can't find a way to stay I'll pop over to England.

Soon mentioned that David Alice (mutual friend of mine in Sydney but good friend of his) is willing to rent his place to me and it will be fun because he said David will then take me along with him to all the Art Exhibitions. Why Art Exhibitions because apparently David is the Director of Art Muzeum for University of Sydney. But the rent is about AUD150 a week and honestly I don't know if I can afford to pay that much. The area that David is staying is considered one of the 'rich' areas and he is living in a double story town house. He's taking the lower floor and is planning to rent the top floor to me. Soon has told me not to worry because he has already reserved a place for me to work in Jay Jay where he and Alice are currently working and they are paying AUD18++ an hour on weekdays and AUD20++ an hour on weekends. If its still not enough to cover for my expenses I'll probably work at night as well in a restaurant or something.

On another note, my medical check-up report is making me worried because the panel doctor has yet to submit the report to the immigration department. It'll take the Aus government a minimum of 14 working days to process my visa and I don't have much time left until the 9th. I'm crossing my fingers that I'll get my visa by then.

I'm heading back to bed now. Till then!
