So hello there fellow readers. This is the first post I'm posting from Melbourne and it's been a few days since I've arrived so I guess I could say I've been settling in well. My relatives here are surprisingly nice and welcoming, bothered to help my mum and I with our settling in woes. Really very grateful for them and kind of shocked by their hospitality even though this is our first time meeting ever.
So it's a wednesday night and it's my first night in Palmerston house. It's been quite enjoyable, really. Made 2 new friends which are my next door neighbours (left and right) and we had our home cooked dinner, working in routines- one fries the veggies, one cooks the steak, the other cooks the prawns. And same goes with the washing system. We make a good team I must say. The photos are on instagram and shizz i'm just too lazy to put it up here.
So sorry guys all you'll be seeing here is just words words and words.
Spent the afternoon exploring the city and chinatown with Sherwynn, and we found a place that sells bubble tea!! But it is mad expensive over here, 3.80 AUD >:( Really miss my 2.80 gong cha. And also, we found a place that sells hong kong hand made paos in chinatown! Really happy because my cravings for paos would be able to be satisfied.
Found one of the nearby thrift stores I've researched on a few months ago a few streets away from where I live so I'm quite excited to check that out. $1 clothings here I come baby.
Other than that, school starts tomorrow and apparently our orientation lasts for 2 weeks and it's nothing like the orientations we have over in Singapore so I have no idea what are we going to do....
One last thing, THANK YOU EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU FOR YOUR WELL WISHES, BE IT IN LETTERS, MESSAGES, FB MESSAGES, TWITTER MENTIONS, DMS ETC. It really means a lot to me.
and also thank you to the huge bunch of people that took time off to send me off (haha the usage of "off"s) at the airport on saturday night. I looked like complete shit and i was a mess but thank you all for coming I love each one of you. JJSNP, The poly clique, Eurus, Church cell, TF01, My best friends, family members etcetc. And it was the shittest most painful experience ever and I swear I hope to never ever go through that again. Sobbed throughout the plane ride, and read every single letter in the plane, crying while reading. Yes I cried like a bitch. But guys, all your letters are so fucking nice really. Every. Single. One. So thank you I love you all.
Hopefully the next update will be one with a video I've complied....
My camera died the day I went to the wet market, it was really quite an interesting sight but sadly I couldn't snap any pictures or take any videos :(
Off to shower soon and go house jumping with my house mates and make some new friends. Wish me luck!
