Today's my 2x birthday and i'm spending it here in Melbourne!!
People say that good things always happen on the birthday and since it's once in a year, you should treasure it...well, it guess it's true. Minn and I slept in today as we're both so exhausted after the 2 intensive days of orientation and workshops, and finally there is nothing going on today, hence we wanted to laze around for a bit and later on go on our house hunt...
Woke up at 12pm and managed to talk to Daddy for a while using the webcam....Finally, the 1st time i can see him and he can see me on the webcam...thanks to cousin Herman really..But they were rushing off for breakfast and could only talk to me for 5 mins....i was so sad...is breakfast more important to them and they don't miss me at all? Sigh!
Then Minn and I went to an apt for viewing and we got lost...Have already told her it's the other direction but she insisted on walking upwards...sigh! The apt's so old and i really don't like it...though it's pretty cheap but hey, i value the cleanliness of the house more..Then we wanted to go to this housing agent for help and we walked for 10 mins but couldn't find it....the sign they hanged was so misleading! In the end, we walked from Richmond station to South Yarra station....do you know how far that is? It's like walking from Bedok MRT to Simei MRT!! In the end, all the agencies were closed!
Both of us were in a really bad mood after the walk and i just felt so pathetic as it's a day full of drizzle, dark clouds and hungry stomach...Minn and i were standing at the covered way, she's eating her cereal bar and i, a sandwich...it's so pathetic rite?
Then we decided to go to the city for a nice dinner as it's my birthday..we chose this italian place for dinner and besides the mussels, the risotti is not so good...i can't finished my rice and can't pack it away either...sighz...there goes my money!
When i told Minn that i don't feel lucky on my birthday, she said: "C'mon lah, I treated you for dinner k?"...guess i'm glad that i'm not alone here in Melbourne...I've made a friend called Minn.
Hey dear. I can totally understand how you feel. I felt exactly the same when I went over to melbourne. The initial stage is the hardest, but after a while, you will get used to it. You will settle down at your new place, make new friends, settle into your job, learn to move around in melbourne, and everything will be fine. =) Just enjoy the process. This is only 1 chance, and not many have the opportunity to go thru this, even if they want to. So learn to enjoy it! And enjoy melbourne. It is really a very beautiful place! Pls let me know should you need help etc, I can always call my relatives there okie? Gimme a call anything you feel homesick or lonely k? Rem: This is a golden opportunity. In time to come, you will be enjoying it over there, and not want to come home. Just like our dear Gerard. haha. muackz!
