More updates

Ok. I've only got 10 minutes so I gotta rush.

Yes, so I have moved in already. And technically, I should be happily in my room surfing the net from the comfort of my HOME but nooo, things don't always happen as you want them to or as they should!

By right I would have had internet last night itself but there are some stupid problems which include not being able to detect the network, crashing laptop, etc and it is really frustrating because I thought I could settle in comfortably yesterday but it didn't happen obviously.

So now I'm in my library AGAIN just to access to the net. Going to wait till Saturday for the technician to bring the router and phone in then I can ask him then what to do and all.

Also went 3 times to Big W, the local hypermarket here to buy stuff. Tiring but satisfying! But the internet thing gahhh is just so frustrating!

Will try to post photos asap..

I missed my orientation too for the moving in.. hmmm.

And.. I duno what else. Gonna have a unit which is meant for Aus students going to other countries not the other way round but we'll see how it goes.

Still no reply from my coursework department regarding my major.

Weather cold when you expect it to be hot, and vice versa.

Now I have a flu because we just bought a bath mat which is damn dusty. Zzz. It's in my bag now as I type this.

And that shop sells damn cheap stuff la wtf. Damn heartpain everytime I see the same stuff I bought from Big W yesterday being sold at a lower price.

Okla. Gotta rush. My 2 hour ticket gonna expire!

Bai, catch up with everyone later!

Update #3

It's 1:11PM local time and I guess it's time for my third BRIEF update. ~_~

So Rich and I have finally settled in our SECOND temporary accomodation which is a few train stops away from my PREVIOUS temporary accomodation in Caulfield. The current place is called South Yarra which is a really nice-looking quaint little suburb with nice shops and restaurants. Why Caulfield so kampung one -_-||

Gonna stay there for another 4-5 nights before finally moving into our long-term accomodation in the city!

Boring stuff but today I just found out that I might have to revise some units I've enrolled to for this and next sem as I didn't know before that I had to take some core units to major in that certain major. :| WHICH IS DAMN MAFAN BECAUSE I THOUGHT MY UNI STUFF IS ALL DONE AND DUSTED BUT NOO THIS HAD TO HAPPEN WHICH SUCKS ALOT ALSO BECAUSE I AM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD FOR MY ORIGINAL UNITS I"VE ENROLLED TO THUS FAR. SO NOW I GOTTA THROW SOME OF THEM AWAY AND TAKE SOME VERY LOUSY AND HARD AND BORING LOOKING "CORE" UNITS T_T

Sigh. Now contemplating if I should drop that particular major just to take the more interesting units. It was not because I was ignorant okay but Sunway didn't have the same 'core' units as Caulfield's. But I've already emailed them so I hope to get a positive reply soon.

Ok.

Today marked ONE official week in Melb and yay!

Last night Rich and I went for a drink in an Asian beer cafe in Melb Central to celebrate hahaha nola but we really went for a drink just two of us :|

Melb so far has been really chilling if you don't count the necessary stressful stuff which we needed to do. The weather's so breezy and cool and there are just so many nice spots to just sit down and have a cuppa HAH! But really alot of places to just sit and rot which is good for me.

And what else.

Other than some personal self-improvement thing I wouldn't want to mention here because I really want it to succeed.. that should be all I think for a brief update.

I really really can't wait to move into my long-term place and get my internet and arrange my things in my room and settle down man. Then maybe I can upload some photos I took so far in this blog or something..

5 more nights... tahan!


p/s: I've been carrying my laptop around like an idiot for the past week. Never used even once. Everywhere no internet. Can't wait to settle.

p/p/s: Why do flies in Melb attack your face?!

A brief second update from the Land Down Under - Still unsettled but slowly getting there

Hey! It's me again!

I've enrolled into my course today as a third year student. Things went pretty smooth considering my very complicated looking course structure as compared to the many there who were first years. They had a more 'fixed' structure I suppose.

So now instead of a lousy cyber cafe, I am now at my very safe and comfortable-looking Monash library 9:15pm local time at night!

That aside, I am still not completely 100% settled in Melb yet but I am definitely getting there.

Headed down to the city for the second time today in search of my accomodation. Things started of VERY bleakly at first. Richmond and I roamed the entire city for about 5-6 hours by foot searching for real estate agencies and not getting what we want were the ultimate let downs of that time.

But we finally settled at the last minute for one place where we thought was 'livable' for a year considering all the aspects we were looking at like distance, pricing and etc.

That office was closing and we were busy calling home and there were few other applicants all pending their applications at the same time and all wah quite dramatic but I think we should get it considering we paid the deposit and the others didn't. Will be going down to the city again tomorrow to reconfirm. SHOULD BE OK LAH.

Very exhausted now. But the people here tell me that's what living in Melb and generally in countries other than the ones I am familiar to is all about. Walk, walk and more walk.

I'll get used to it soon enough I think.

The weather here is pretty good. Ppl tell me summer in Melb is generally VERY HOT but at this time of the year it's pretty cool.

My mind is working at a frantic rush thinking of how to squeeze as many things here as I possibly can.

But I think I would update more next time when I can sit in peace thinking of what to write without worrying about the time as it is getting really late and I want to return to my TEMP ACCOMODATION asap!

Thank you folks!

Hope you enjoyed this letter-like post!

Like I'm in some far-away place serving my country for war liddat HAH

Bai! Hope everyone is doing fineeeee.

Halo folks who must be worried sick about me!

I am fine don't worry. Still surviving. FIRST DAY ONLY WHAT HAHA

But what a lousy first day this has turned out to be. Will detail update next time. But I will pull through and I know it. With all the support from all of you back home and in other parts of the world.

Don't have a proper internet connection yet. Currently at a cyber cafe. Have to carry my heavy laptop bag around looking for stuff to buy and my long term accomodation.

Richmond is fine as well. He's beside me as I type.

Cya all very soon.

Take care everyone.

Cheers.


p/s: Oh this is also ironically my 501th post. A new chapter. HAH!
