Sup guys?!
I’ve been putting off blogging for a while now. This is a little overdue but anyway, I arrived in Melb less than a week ago, on Thursday morning. Otw there, I stopped over Singapore with Marvin (he was on the same flight as me) and there were so many Bruneians man! Crazyyy. I did a little bit of shopping there, bought a really cute dress 🙂 it was a bit pricey though, but I have very little dresses. I just realised all the dresses I have with me right now are all black. My flight from SG to Melbourne was at 11.40pm, so I could go to the airport a little bit later. I had dinner at this Chinese restaurant around Haji Lane, which was really shit lor. After that I took a cab to the airport and got a bit lost there cause I was trying to find the place where I left my bags. I finally did, and decided to go and take a shower because I felt really digusting and sticky. After showering, I was looking at the monitor thing outside and it said ‘Last Call’ for my flight so I was fucking scared and ran to the gate. CB, not yet even time to board yet.
So the flight was not as bad as I expected. I managed to sleep through most of the flight. The worst thing was that we arrived at the Melbourne airport right on time, at 10.05am. But some stupid Qantas plane took up our spot, so our plane couldn’t park at all and I think we were stuck on the plane for an extra hour. Just as I was about to fall asleep, I realised everyone was getting up to get off the plane. I only came out of the airport at 12ish. Stressful sia. Freddy and Som picked me up from the airport, then I had to go back to Fred‘s house, shower, pack my things and get ready for the trip. The trip was quite fun, we went to Hepburn Springs for a spa thing which we had to pay $50 each for. At night, we had fine dining at Lakehouse. That costed us another $70 per person. I ordered the summer lamb thing and I didn’t really like it cause I think it was either medium rare or medium well.. I always eat my lamb well done. The desert was good though! 😀
After dinner, we went to the house that we had rented for that night. I think it was called the Tower House or something. It was damnnn beautiful. From the outside it looks really plain and boring but once you go in, it’s like wow. It looks really cosy! You could tell the people really put alot of effort into decorating the house. For most of the night we were just playing Monopoly until like 1 or 2am. The next day we went to Ballarat, which is a town and there is a gold mining place there that people can visit. Go Facebook for pictures 🙂 I might post up pictures here la, see my mood hahah.
Other than that, haven’t been doing much here. Eating, mostly. Just the other day we went for dinner at Shark Fin House in the city, and we had a huuuuge lobster and some other dishes as well. The lobster was so good! Yum yum 😀 The bill was around $300, so it was $90 per person. Ouch haha. No, I haven’t been cooking here. I will soon! I just need to buy groceries ;D Oh yeah, I checked in to Rusden (my accomodation) yesterday. My apartment was freaking small!! I cannot get used to it. But I guess I will have to 😦 and my room is really small as well. I don’t really mind that though, it’s just that the closet is really small as well.. so I have no idea how to put all my clothes =\ As soon as I put my stuff down in my apartment, I went back to Freddy’s house because I wouldn’t have any food to eat that night 😦 and also my housemate isn’t coming back until the end of this month so I have yet to meet her. Shit man I’d feel so lonely back at my apartment if it wasn’t for Freddy. I would have nothing to do at all! Since I haven’t gotten my laptop yet.
I also went to buy alot of things for my house the other day. Bedsheets, pillow, quilt, quilt cover, pillow cases, hangers, cups, cutlery, plates, bowls, a small rubbish bin, pots and pans. I felt so =O when I saw the amount. It was like $400, and that was only for half the things on the list above cause I bought those things separately. Thank god I got the quilt for HALF the original price.
But I’m loving it here. Things are all good. I do miss my mum a lot though 😦 but that’s another thing I have to get used to. The best thing so far about this place is that the sun sets at around 7-8pm!! At first it was a bit weird eating dinner at what seems like 3 or 4pm in the afternoon, but I’m slowly getting used to it. Oh yeah, my enrolment and orientation was yesterday! I went to the campus at 8.30am, and got so confused on where the place to enrol was. Luckily Freddy came with me. Everyone seemed to have friends. Majority of the people were China people and Hongkies. Overload man hahaha. Orientation was damn boring lah. We had to go to the lecture theatre where the teachers would talk to us and shit, and it was all very repetitive. Omg I almost slept man. I know Freddy did hahah. I was supposed to go for orientation today too but I didn’t want to go. I’m going for tomorrow’s session though cause apparently it’s compulsary. So yes I’m skipping most of O-week. And no guys it is not as awesome as Fresher’s week in UK hahahah.
Anyway, I think this is enough for a recap of what I did so far in Melbourne. Will blog with pictures soon! 😉 Take care!
