Since I don’t have my handwritten diary with me right now (the high school volumes are in Singapore), I’ll just post here from time to time some random selections from my ‘Updates’ series - not the most original of titles, but they served well as regular emails/newsletters to friends during my high school days in Sydney. It’s all rather interesting to re-read them. My thoughts, my observations, my adventures and misadventures, they were all shared with my close friends. Steadfastly for the first year and a half, at least. That was before the blogging days, and that was when I only had more or less one main circle of friends (who were geographically-distanced!), so it was still quite practical back in those days.
For starters…
for breakfast they [the Aussie boarders] like to put spaghetti on bread, they also put lots of ketchup on scrambled eggs on bread and for dinner they sometimes put custard on rice…
