It has been almost 2 weeks since I've arrived in Sydney and has been surprisingly cold over here, dipping to a mere 7 degrees on the day I arrived. Since arrival it has been a bit of a transition period- opening bank accounts, sorting taxes and insurances and ... FINDING ACCOMODATION! I've been looking at properties available for rent and the amount of people turning up at the viewings number almost 20-30 people! Its like a frigging lottery draw or something, you have to put in an application to rent the place and keep your fingers crossed that you will get picked ... hopefully I can get a place before the current apartment lease that is paid by my company runs out, else I will be homeless :( .
Work has been slow - the usual when starting out in a new job but I have a feeling that the Australian economy might be running a little slower than before, from what I have heard out on the street. Hopefully things will pick up soon. Work environment is good, there are some people whom I know and worked with before and also have the opportunity to make new friends everyday! :)
Anyway not having home internet access is a pain and i can scarely find the opportunity to check my regular reads and facebook! on the net. I just managed to scrap in some time to do a short update now, since I am at my aunt's place and by some stroke of luck had an unexpected holiday today. I have been meeting up with old friends in Oz, and settling back into some sort of routine. I just pray that the accomodation will be sorted soon as that is the biggest headache at the moment.
Update: I just recieved some good news ! Looks like one of the properties that we (me and my future housemate - Shong) looked at and got rejected earlier came back and re-offered the place to us!
