Brisbane, Australia
I arrived in Brisbane on Saturday 10th at around 10 PM without a place to stay or anywhere to go and I was with my mother. By the time we did find a place (Thanks to that person behind the tourism counter) it was around 11PM. I was kind of pissed off with the fact that I wasn’t prepared for everything and I was kind of guilty…NO… I was guilty for doing this to my mother. That night I didn’t sleep well either so that part was annoying too…. It rained heavily that night.
.
On Sunday, we walked around. We got lost for a while and we reached Adelaide Street, Queenstreet Mall and that other street. We also went to this place where I was supposed to check out before renting. We went by taxi but by the time we reached there teh person who rents the place out wasn’t around at all… And told us to come on Monday… And I didn’t want to anymore… And I lost all hope (Not all but I wasn’t in the mood to live and was kind of sad and depressed and didn’t want to move anymore). haha. I walked with my mother from Kelvin Grove all the way to … I dunno where and it was just a few more minutes walk but after looking at my mother I decided to use a Taxi. She looked like she couldn’t walk anymore and it was true… Her body hurt and so did mine (but only because I was carrying all of our stuff around… we bought a few foodstuff along the way to eat at the hotel).

I REALLY didn’t sleep well last night. I had a bad headache and I tossed and turned and by the time it was dusk.. I decided to swallow a pill. I hit the bed and fell asleep and BOY did I fall asleep. I still tossed and turned and I had nightmares of a man who was trying to kill me and the only way I could free myself of his grasp was scream, kick the blankets off of me and wake my mother unpurposely. She asked what was wrong and I told her "Aku ngigau". And that was that…
.
This morning my mother told me that I woke her up last night more then five times because I was mumbling, screaming and also kicking the blankets throughout the night. By the time she WAS able to sleep it was around early morning just before dawn… I feel REAL bad….
.
But today was great… I got myself a place that was a few minutes walk to my University!!!! And it was close to supermarkets, restaurants and a park. It’s secured and nice… It’s an old house but I don’t really care about that. And it’s somewhat homey… I’m moving in tomorrow and then that’s it. I’ll just have to prepare everything from there and start getting used to the place. And once I do get used to the place then I’m happy and well… Just like the first few days in the UK alone~!!! It will be a great time! A great place!!! I’m sure of it!!!….

Although I still prefer UK to Australia…. But I’m here now. I might as well make the best of it! RIGHT! Bas! GET READY FOR A WHOLE NEW WORLD!!!
