Not-So-Sexy time!

I have once been told that by putting up sexy blog titles I can attract more readers to read my blog haha so I am testing this theory out as a part of my experiment. I'm currently on my lunch break at the hospital and am hanging out outside the imaging centre/oncology/psychiatric clinic. Despite how scary these departments are I find it peaceful to sit here as there's not too many people around and no one (rarely) has any contagious diseases that they can give me. As I am enjoying my cheese, egg and lettuce sandwich and a box of chocolate milk, there are people around me snoring away and I must say it is not a pretty sight....even though I have my earphones in and on quite loud, I can still hear snores....

Maybe it's a psychological thing or it's just in my head..but it's quite annoying!I don't get how people can feel comfortable sleeping in public...I for one try to keep myself awake no matter how tired or how much I want to sleep. One reason is that I'm afraid ill be kidnapped and wake up in a strange place. Another reason is my fear that someone will rob me and steal my phone and wallet from me :P random right? Also I don't want to be seen snoring and drooling in public haha

Yesterdays event confirmed my fear of being robbed as I visited a second hand market here in Penang. As I walked I was on high alert with my hands tightly grasping my wallet and phone. Namely because of how dodgy everyone looked and of the scary stories I was told just moments before walking in. Luckily I made it out in one piece! :D I was very surprised at what you could find at this market! Almost anything! It was cool...but scary. I doubt I will be heading back anytime soon though....well maybe next time I'll leave all my valuables at home before going :P

One meal and then its OVER!

I had a bit of a nervous breakdown today. All the stress of my school work and trying to study for such an important and life-changing exam finally got to me today. However, thankfully there was someone there to deal with it and I am blessed to have that someone in my life :) Anyway, after a few encouraging words and a very spicy meal, all the stress is out of my system. I have realised that whenever I get angry or sad, it just takes one good meal and then it all goes away, like it never happened before (HINT for those that make me angry or sad hehe :P). This may be due to my bad memory or as the chinese call it being a "big head prawn".

I also seem to be falling sick. I've been coughing greenish-yellow stuff and been feeling very tired lately. One good thing is that if I am really sick, I go to the hospital 5 days a week, which means if anything does happen (touch wood) then i'll save on the transport time and costs! On top of that, as staff of the hospital, its free! haha Finally working at a hospital pays off....

After being here in Penang for one week, I have come to miss the Australian Beachs, namely the ones on the Gold Coast and Byron Bay. The Crystal Clear waters, the soft sand, the cool ocean breeze...*drools* I doubt there would be anything here that beats that haha Although all the different types of food here does come awfully close :P

Byron Bay , NSW, Australia - This is what I'm talking about! Perfection!

Three Words, I Heart Penang

Tomorrow makes it one week. One week since I arrived in this awesome place, Penang. Despite having to work from 8.30am to 5pm, monday to friday, I have still found the time to go around this 'treasure island'. After spending a few days here, I have come to a conclusion. People here eat a lot, and I mean A LOT! I have always considered myself as a big eater, even my friends always make jokes about me eating all the time and so much. However, when you compare the amount that I eat and the people here, its like comparing a little ant to an elephant! haha

Cute pic right? Although I wouldnt be surprised to see it here in Penang. There is everything and anything to eat here haha

Anyway, I really like Penang. Everything is open late and its just so lively and busy here. Although I do sometimes miss the peace and quiet that I get on the Gold Coast, especially on the roads....the drivers here are crazy! I've tried so many different types of food, its hard to keep track!

Yesterday I also went for a drive (as the passenger of course) around some touristy places here in Penang, such as Gurney Drive, The Esplanade, Botanical Gardens (I think), the famous indian temples. It was fun to go around to see all these cool places. Not really looking forward to another full week of work on monday though....I'm still a student, I should be lazing around all day doing nothing! Not be working FOC!!

I finally came....

As I am typing out this post on my iPhone I am currently outside gate A4 of KLIA desperately trying to keep my pants up :( normally in Australia I probably wouldnt bother as hard to keep them up but since I'm in a new country with different values, I'm trying not to show everyone my ass. Unfortunately with four bags to carry it seems like an impossible task.

Anyway enough about my backside, KLIA is really big and cool! Being my first time here and not to my surprise, I got lost! I spent a good ten minutes trying to find where I am and I ended up just following everyone else. I didn't really buy anything as I was too busy dealing with my pants situation but I did buy a bottle of alcohol. I am now waiting for my flight to Penang with malaysian airlines. Talking about which I did not get the ferrero rocher or the ice cream that I expected. Very disappointed...however I did try some random coffee from Old Town at the airport which was pretty good

Well my plane is waiting for me so I will have to leave this post at this.

It has been awhile

Lately I have been especially lazy with my studies and my blog (as noted by the lack of posts since november). Everyday time seems to go by so quickly despite not doing anything at all, and even quicker when spent with the person I love. However, I really need to get motivated again to study hard and to work hard as uni starts soon and I have this extremely important test that I must do well in at the end of march (Wish me luck!)

Anyway, at this moment I am currently feeling very excited, sad, anxious and nervous all at the same time!! Its hard to believe but in a few days time I will be leaving Australia and heading over to Malaysia :D Although it won't be ALL fun and games while I'm over there as I have to work in the hospital full time for 1 month, I am still  very very excited about going. I'm sure I can have some fun along the way! The only thing is I will be travelling alone to this 'foreign' and 'new' country and its kinda nerve-racking. Although I am 20 years old, I definitely still prefer to travel with someone. If life begins and ends alone, why spend any more time in between being alone?

PS. I am leaving for Malaysia tomorrow night so if anyone happens to stumble across my blog and see some asian boy looking lost at the airport on sunday morning then please help him! Its probably me!!
