First week in Mel

Finally I have time to update my blog. Well, I know it had been a while but let me just briefly sumarise things that happened in the past weeks.

To date,

• I had enrolled myself and orientate myself to the blocks in the Uni. Compared to my previous college, this Uni is huge. But, let me just highlight that my class is 20 minutes walk away from my house. To be exact, it is 1.3 km away. Just try and imagine.... I need to walk 4 days a week.. (T_T)
  

• went to orientation talks (eg: Successful Life in Deakin.. =.=”). I prefer the orientation in Nilai
  

• joined the Mentor Programme but yet to know who my mentor is. The truth, I have no idea why I joined it. Just for fun, I guess. To keep myself busy before I start my home sickness. Sob sob.
  

• registered a phone number. The most important point actually.. But its a bloody Samsung touch screen and it is really hard to even function! Btw, my no. : +61430767990
  

• met a few course mates and new friends which I did not exchange contact. Hehe. Why? Coz I bet we won’t text each other after the orientation. = ) And no.. I did not met any cute hunks...yet I hope.
  

• bought groceries. To be more accurate, LEARN to buy groceries. Hehehe. With the help of my mom.. duh.
  

• packed my room and do minimum decoration (which is near to nil)
  

• went to City and visited the tourist spots, went to the nearest supermarket (I have a 24 hours one near my house..yeah!), learnt the public transport and have NOT got lost (smart eh?)
  

• met with old friend and be a substitute model for him, on a supremely cold & windy day and YET he still asked me to take off my jacket for 20 minutes! I have no idea how the picture will turn out but damn sure he will need to do a lot of editing. I was pretty much shivering. Brrr....
  

• shopped for quite some things.. hehe. Let’s just say they are not entirely necessary but still important. (^.^)

Well, that’s about it I guess. Gotta crash early today since I had not been sleeping much for the past few days! Waking up at 8.30 has most certainly been a norm here. Sigh..

On flight

Yup, I am finally on the plane to Melbourne. (D7 2722) After 6 months of planning, the plan is being executed at this very minute. To tell the truth, during this duration, I did not ran around like a chicken losing its head. Phew.. The application to Uni, accommodation, hotels etc went unexpectedly smoothly. Mostly because I had the help of the pretty Ji Li from StudyLink. She is a great help indeed since she practically guided me all the way through. Hehe.

Being in an eight hours flight now (4 hours left to Mel..), I felt that it is the right time to blog about my intense feelings on leaving a place I called home, Malaysia. So be prepared to spend some minutes on my emotional expressions.

One week before July 1, I had a list of farewells dates with families and friends. For an outsider, they might say I am trying to boast here or perhaps might even think that having such farewells are absurd. But what can I say when I am indeed a very lucky lady to be loved by many people?! LOL! In fact, to parade even more of my popularity I shall now list down the categories of people that went to great length to see me for the last few times. People that I have no regret knowing, that I hope the best will excel in their life, that I blessed with good health, that I wish to see again and again, that I will keep in touch and never ever become to the level of acquaintances. *Fingers-crossed* Mainly people that I really treasure. Peiod.

They are: Direct family (Dad, mom, Jie, Grannies) beloved aunties + uncles (Har Yee, Ako, Tai Ako, A. Mary, A. Doreen, U.Tony, U.Lawrence, Ah Pek, U.Pok), lovable adorable cousins (Tu Wei, Yi Ann, Mee Ee, Mee Tze, Mee Suet, Baby Vince, Yan Yan, Jun Wai, Jun Hoe, Ah Bee, Jian Kor Kor), Darlings precious KEYS (Jean, Ivy, Shan), Sweet Honey (Terence), Memorable Agency 88 (Pui Yeng, Yong Xin, Hoe Kin), family friends (Mei Mei, Pak Soon, Pak Hong), high school buddies (Seng Wai dear, Mei Chen, Lok Win, Shi Hao, Elaine, Meng Jiew, Wai Kit), college buddies (Jeff, Choong, Ken, Zi Yuan) and ex-colleagues (Yin Ling, Pow Pow, Sandra, Ee Ling).

*So what if I wanna list down all those who love me enough to bid goodbye to me..Ptf!*

I love them so much. To the extent that saying goodbye seems so heavy to me. But life goes on and my beloved dad told me that we must learn to brace and accepts challenge as it comes. And it will be so much better to do that while I am still young! Life is short and no matter what happens I will always remember my dearest families and friends.

Oh yeah! For the record, I did not cry my eyes out. Hehe.

Pre-departure trauma?

It is bloody early now, as in really really early. For God sake, its 6.15 am! And I had woken up since 5.30 am, when outside is still all dark and chilly. Reason so? I was having this weird dream and when I woke up, it still feels like I am floating in the dreamland. LOL.

Anyway, I made a list of motivational thoughts for Australia while I was rolling on bed before deciding to blog about it.

Here goes! .... I am sure that:

1. I will definitely cry in the airport bidding farewell to my family and friends. Just hope that I will cry beautifully. *as if...*

2. My mom will interrogate me during the 8 hours flight to Melbourne. *HELP!!*

3. I will be horribly damn cold there despite the thick clothing that Jie gave me. Hopefully the love I held tight in the heart would keep me warm. *Awwww~~*

4. Second of July will be a busy day for me. Need to run around from registration to opening a bank account. Thankfully, Mom is there. I love Mommy!!

5. I will buy a lot of things on my first week there which also indicates a high cash flow out. Sob sob... Blessings to my Dad for working hard. *Hope he works even harder while missing me and sends me more money.. LOL! I love Daddy too~*

6. Cleaning up my room and unpacking would be FUN!

7. Adapting will be hard at first and I will make sure I get through it asap. *fingers-crossed*

8. I will miss Malaysian food and home cook food almost like a zombie. * is there any delivery for Po Po’s cooking? URGENT!*

9. Above all, I will obviously, undeniably, definitely, inconvertibly, penetratingly, BLOODY miss my home + family + friend f**king uncontrollably much...*being emotional ed..*
