4th week in Melbourne

Yeah, so i'm FINALLY updating this blog.. =)

as you can tell from the title, i'm in my 4th week in melbourne. it's really nice here, though it really gets boring after 5pm, cos it gets really really dark and the shops are all closed, plus i live in the suburbs, so there's totally nothing to do at all!

yep yep.. just washed clothes and vaccummed my room.. hehe i'm living in a nice little house with 3 other friends, who were my classmates in nyp too..

this is my messy bedroom!

and it feels like i've lived here all my life, i just feel so at home here =) hopefully i'll be able to work here after graduating, though that means making plans kinda soon..

there are so many things i want to say, i just dont know where to start. the school itself is really cosy, though kinda old. it's like those old english universities. the environment is really nice though. =)

and so far, we HAVENT made any new friends in school! now how sad is that?? sigh.. maybe it's cos there's 13 singaporeans already and we are like in our own small contingency all the time. hehe oh well..

do have some really nice new friends from church though.. HOPE melbourne =) yea... tlp is finally going to church! yipee! and going through the 40 days of purpose thing.. yep yep hopefully tlp will be a better person from now on! =) my dear friends cum housemates have been really encouraging and helpful in this area, and i really wanna thank them for that.

and here's the 9 of us - 4 in one house and 5 in another.. all from the same cohort in nyp!

i spent my entire last night dreaming about singapore! it was like i flew back in the morning, and had to fly back to melbourne in the evening, so the day was spent in a rush getting neccessities and cuddling Angel.. i really do miss my little dog.. and thankfully there's skype and webcams to make communication cheaper and easier and more personal =) been talking to parents nearly every night or so, which is good.

and i also wanna thank my wonderful SN friends, cos their funny email conversations nv fail to make me smile! it feels like they're right there with me.. =) yea.. really miss crapping with you girls in person!

so what have i been doing? well:

• going to school
• went clubbing once (and it's really similar to sg, just more kissing and touching)
• shopping (though it's not cheap, except for made in china winter clothes)
• healesville wildlife sanctuary
• exploring surrounding suburbs and little shopping centres and markets
• going to church and caregroups and spending time with other church members
• cooking nearly every night
• trying to be a better person :)
  

much love,

TLP!
