My internet here has been terrible. Over the weekend, I had to restart my computer every few minutes just to log onto the internet. So today I went down to the office to lodge a complaint, and they were up here, in my apartment within the hour (that's fast by Australian standards), and giving me tips on how to fix my net. The guy asked me where I was from, and when I said Singapore, he said, the internet there is so much more advanced that in Australia, that I should not expect too much from the service providers here. I already knew that...but I was thinking, in his mind, I could only come from two places, Singapore, or Malaysia...what if I had said Malaysia? Would his response be different? In any case, Australia can't be very far behind can they? Maybe I'll give them slow in uploading speed and all, but we're talking about just staying connected here. Surely they cannot be so backward...can they?
Work has been piling up. Within this month, I've got 2 assignments due, and an online test. On top of that, I've got tute homework every week, and I've got to do a mega lot of reading, just to keep on track. And that is just my study life. My social life...I tried to incorporate Futsal, but I think that's gone down the drain, so now my social life is really just OCF. Which is good I guess. My parents will be here this weekend...
