It has been almost 3 months since i really sat down to update my blog. So many things happened these 3 months. I'm now in Melbourne for my degree conversion in Occupational Therapy and i've been here for 1 month already. So fast!! Throughout this 1 month i've made so many new friends and met up with old ones too. It's truly a wonderful experience and like what my sister said "Make full use of this 1 yr, eat, play and travel all you want but of course studying hard too.."
Realise that i've made quite a bit of changes to my lifestyle such as going out to shop every sat and meeting up with friends during sch term. In S'pore i really didnt had the luxury of time to do all these stuffs. I was engrossed in my studies, clinical attachment, bazaars, designing new creations. I could say now it's a break for me and also a time to appreciate what's around me especially the beautiful scenery in Melbourne.
I'm staying alone in a studio apt with a bed room cum study room and an attached toilet cm standing shower & a kitchen and balcony too. It's a really cosy home.. it's like my hideout after a tring day (school; battling with the strong wind when walking out from sch to tram stop). Even though the apt isnt that big, but when it comes to cleaning, it's really not an easy task cos the floorings are carpet except for the toilet and kitchen. Now i can understand how is it like being a housewife..hehe
I also do my own cooking and my family are surprised that i could cook pretty well (took photos). It's a therapeutic experience when it comes to cooking. However, these days i found myself running out of ideas to cook. And becos of the cold night, i'm so lazy to cook in the cold kitchen...hehe.
Initially when i first moved in, i found myself sitting in front of the com almost every moment and it wasnt a good thing cos it seems like i'm in my own world and cut off from the outside world (as in not knowing what is happening in the news). So i decided to get a small tv to keep myself entertain while i have my lunch and dinner. Australia channels are kinda limited and the shows aint really interesting cos it's all aussie soap dramas n not my favourite HK/Taiwan/Korean dramas....haha.. But as i watched them, they're kinda interesting after a while.
Oh ya, i've also been to Mt buller to experience snow for the FIRST time in my life. I really had a lot fun building snowmans and sliding down slopes. And of course snapping photos. I hope to go back again next year :)
Shopping in Melbourne is really fun and interesting too cos me and my friends would visit those 2nd hand vintage stores and we can find really good stuffs. Also there're huge sales going on at this period of time and me got quite some stuffs :) It's really cheap!!! 5-20bucks only!!
Yea, and me also have been going ard eating.
i'm also really fortunate to have a friend, Mei Qing who was really nice to bring me ard Melbourne during the first week. Met her friends too who were really friendly and helpful too :)
School is so far ok, lots of readings and essays to complete. I'm kinda stress up with one of my essays cos i'm not sure how would i fare in the first one that i've completed. Really hope the tutor could mark faster so that i know where i stand b4 diving into the 2nd piece of essay. Praying hard not to get a "T"= trash or F or D... I'm so boggled up by this s***** essay... arharh...
So yup, this is wat i've experienced in 1 mth. There's lots of other stuffs that happen too but shall just keep this post short.
