| | It has been
a week passed since my arrival. Never occured to me how the weather
trancends unpredictably as it is super duper cold. Winter chills!
Importantly, i carry my gloves,umbrella,lipbalm,and my face moisturizer
everytime i step out. That will be my nessesity for the next three
months ahead. The city is lovely,now i know why everyone loves
Melbourne! and would not want to leave it.. Often blinded by the
trafficking of fabulous stores and outlets never fail to catch my
attention.Plus the flinders train station is very victorian! nice that
i live opposite it, just walks away from the yarra river..view is so
spectacular!... money must be spent wisely,because it is pricey
for the rate i;m at, it just shows that being a student abroad proves
to adapt alot of independency skills, and initiative to get what you
want, and patience. Life here can be harsh when you do not know many,
but i am able to cope so far since i have Shikin.
For
the past one week, one big difference seeing how i am here and when i
was back home, is my willingness and effort to walk. Everyday is a
walking routine up and down the streets, even i hardly use the trams
because it does get a lil costly considering it a day to day purchase.
Well, anywhere within the city is just as convinient to get from point
A to B. Noone is lazy here, day starts early, and ends early too since
it gets pretty dark by 6pm!
Theres
still a few more things to do , before i settle down...like waiting for
the goddamn classes to commence! Then i will be ocupied and start
mingling and seeing Melbourne as my new home.
For now, it is all trial
and error. The dangers and the insecurities never go away, all i can
hope for is to choose wiser friends, and stand on my own guard. But
overall, it is alright since there are many asians around. Melbourne is
very diverse and diversity sits on top of every partial request.Met
Jools and Frans for the first time. I like them alot!, So warm with
welcome and friendly...i feel at home.
.
Just
in one week..i;ve already been to many places surrounding the city and
suburbs.....can't get enough of the suburb to be frank..but it seems
much colder . So far, am in love with Chapel street. Must go there more
often..Plus,i even got the chance to watch the final match at Crown
Casino! how cool is that.:).Tomorrow is another day, all i can do is
wait till the morning sun rises.. ja ne!
