Short news update...the story so far

Am now in Melbourne, haven't had a chance to touch a computer for a good one week, the withdrawal is kicking in..hehehehehe. BH and I have been so busy. We landed in Brisbane Int, on Tuesday night last week, where BH's cousin, decided to meet up with us. The plan was to spend a few days in the Gold Coast, then DRIVE to Sydney, spend a few days there, then DRIVE to Melbourne, spend more time here with BH's relations.

I'm a virgin to this island continent, when they first suggested it, didn't realise that one way from Surfers to Sydney would take 10 hours...thats like driving from Singapore to Kedah, then back again. Hence, have not been looking for wi-fi spots.

Have learnt a few rather nice things so far...Coles, DFS ( ooh, already spent money here!), clean toilets ( mostly), bacon, seafood thats right off the boat. Only one bad thing so far..vegemite sandwich. Euuw, don't like that. Oh, and there's the weather. Its a tad cold and dry at times...
More updates when we find the time. Oh, and do wiat for the pics. we took soooo many, have to get home and organise then first..hehehe.

Am missing my classes...BH misses Shades terribly.
