99% Sydney
So, right now it looks like the probability of me going to sydney is 0.99. It will probably become 1.0 within the next one or two weeks.
i have seriously mixed feelings. why cant i take the positive outlook like a lot of my friends who seem raring to go? is it because ive been uprooted so many times in my life that i'm tired of it? or is it because i fear i might be leaving somethings behind for good? dunno laaa...
OK. looking at it logically:
+freedom (i have that in singapore)
+make new friends (tiring)
+sex? (not a priority)
+beaches
+overseas experience (enough of that already)
+subsidised overseas experience
+will still spend at least three months per year in spore (shows my attitude huh?)
+ysl
-away from home
-away from family
-away from friends
-away from pets
-no car
-have to make new friends
-sydney is relatively unsafe
-shops close at 5
-sun sets at 5
so looking back, the only real valid positives are the nice beaches, ysl, and the fact that my parents are gonna pay a bit less than other international students.
argh! im so negative! how the hell im i gonna mentally (and physically) prepare to move, and finish 2 major essays and study for my exams at the same time? what a mess.
