see you there

Finally, i feel busy! HA. lol its not like i like to be busy or what. it’s just to state the point that: it’s a misconception to assume that the laid back lifestyle equals a more relaxing education system in Australia. NO. the truth is there are still things to do. and they are heaps of things. but may be, not as bad as singapore’s unis. haha.

I realise something this week. It’s really pathetic living alone. it’s like you gotta do your own dishes, cooks (although i don’t cook lol.), do your own laundry, vacuum your room, clean the room and the floor, toilet, bed, groceries... okay the list goes on. you get my point! sometimes, when i did my dishes, i would think – damn, i miss my home. i miss SG! but i think it’s time for me to be independent right. SIGH. haha. i hate growing up.

Still, the worst part of being in melbourne is to live alone. in uni, it’s not so bad  i have got friends to hang out with. but when i am at home at night, it just doesnt feel right. it’s like, who am i supposed to to talk to when i take a break from my works? i miss SG! i miss my roomie whom i will always  talks to, jokes with, plays bla bla… whenever i was home back from sch. oh OCTOBER. i am so looking forward to when i finally could move in with cicilia. it would definitely be much better!

I feel that today is like a bad day to me. lol.

First, the fire alarm went off at 5.50! and it was a false one. imagine that! i was sleeping so soundly and then… tet tot tet tot. UGH. so i went down in my pyjamas to find out that actually, it’s a FALSE one. plus the cold i get from winter morning. great.

Second, for some reason, after the false fire alarm… the water heater doesn’t work so i had to bathe in cold shower. in winter. double the coldness.

Third, i ended up late for class cos the tram was busy. means packed. yeah for like 4 times?

Fourth, my accounting task couldn’t balance. i know this doesn’t count. but we need a lil but of luck in doing accounting right

YAH, so there goes my Tuesday. HAHA. i know this post may make melbourne sounds like a sad saddd place to live. IT’S NOT. it’s just me, releasing my stress by doing a lot of whining. LOL.

PS.i hope you guys had a better Tuesday than mine. xoxo.

Uni is great this week. tutorials had started and i made some new friends! haha. but its rather like hang our friends for a particular day cos everybody has a different schedule everyday, so its kindda difficult to bond with people.

i know, sounds pathetic. haha but if you live here in melbourne and go to uni of melbourne, it is very normal to go everywhere alone. but people here are really friendly, so its easy to strike up a conversation with a total starnger. haha. its like “hey, so hows uni?” and there you go.

and some tutors are hot. lol. they are honors student of the uni so yea. you got what i mean. haha

Next, Melbourne uni is huge. and apparently you call your lecturers by their first name not their title. So, for example, if your teacher’s name is Anna, you don’t go calling her Mrs. Anna nor Prof. Anna. You call her Anna, as simple as that. Its also a culture to say “hi, how are you doing” to people, everytime you meet them. even those you don’t know. Thus, it’s really easy to make friends here. i mean “friend, friend”. yeah you got my point. HAHA. Also, Melb uni has many interesting clubs, namely food interest society, chocolate lovers, baking club, etc.

The food here is frigging expensive.  like 7.50 bucks for a bowl of soup. Imagine that!  But the portion served is a gigantic one too. lol. oh ya, the sushi here is cheap. a whole roll of sushi costs us like 2 bucks.

I miss sg oh yeah. esp all the nights out. vibrant people at home. all my friends. haha i wont waste a time at home during weekend in sg. But here, the stores are closed at 5 and people stop working at 4. yeah, all of us slack at home.  the first few days were hard on me but now, i look at it as my new lifestyle. laid back. why rush? HAHAHA.

Last thing. I like aussie accent.

I’m just a little girl lost in the moment,
I’m so scared but i don’t show it.
I can’t figure it out,
It’s bringing me down
I know, I’ve got to let it go.

It’s 5th of July. and next Thursday, 16th of July, I’ll be on my way to Melbourne. Let’s rewind. Last year, everything i knew and everything i lived for was for A level.

Last year was fun, albeit the stress was killing me physically and mentally but i had enjoyable days everyday because i met wonderful people everyday of my life. Now, out of school and I miss those people a lot, that school! haha. ’cause when i hung out with them life seemed so carefree, there’s nothing to be worried about and nothing to think about. ( other than studies of course ) I miss you guys.

I won’t worry my life away because i know my life worth more than that.

Anyway, let’s talk about more interesting stuff. My trip to jkt – puncak – bandung! It was such a blast so cool. Jkt has like countless shopping centres. They are cool and huge or may be better than Singapore. haha I sound like an indonesian loser who doesn’t know her own capital well. lol But for the food, I would say I prefer Medan cos the food is more original and yummy! Overall, Jkt trip was fun. The people i met were very friendly, not like what people would normally say about Jkt. Plus, it is very safe. In fact, I prefer Jkt to Medan because i personally think that Medan community are more segregated. if u know what i mean.

Puncak and Bandung is awesome. Puncak has great weather and its like a paradise. hahaa may be not the puncak itself but my friend’s villa is obviously a paradise. It is so beautiful with a Balinese theme. While Bandung is another type of paradise. a shopping paradise
