Finally------Melbourne....
11/02/2007
I'm leaving Melaka...Malaysia....9.55am flight according to Msia time. This is the 1st time i board on a plane, n this is the 1st time in my life..i'm leaving Msia...to a country...which is so unfamiliar to me. Stil remember, when i wave my parents goodbye n hug them..i can't control it anymore. I thought i wun b crying this time, come on, i'm going to be 22 years old this coming April, but..i juz can't control it....it juz me.........aiks.....
In the plane, i dun really knoe wat m i suppose to do. Juz sit down there, looking at others bz placing their luggage on the cabin above the plane sits. Was 1/3 excited, 1/3 scared, n 1/3 worried.

Exited: i've nv been to overseas b4...so..this wil b my very 1st time
Scared: i'm so so alone, without frens n family accompanying me..sigh...wat if i reach the wrong destination?
Worried: wht lies ahead of me...how's the uni look like...how's my accomodation going to b????errrrr....

Reach Melbourne around 8.30 pm. Oni to find out tht...Melbourne is actually 3 hours ahead of Msia time...oh gosh!!!!!so..i've lost 3 hours......

Meet TOGOTO staffs at the airport. N finally, to my place at Bouverie St.

Miss home badly, can't sleep the whole nite. Not the bed which i m familiar with, without my comfy pillows. ARGHhhhh....i juz miss home. Miss papa, mama!!! Din take my dinner, was hungry, but there's nothing for me here. too bad!!!!
Meet up with Eng Kiat the very next morning. EK brought me to the uni as i've to get sm info from the Orientation Welcome Centre. After tht went to open a bank account at the CommonWealth Bank as it is situated inside the Melb Uni building, not far away from my faculty too. Have bacon n egg sandwich from the cafeteria ($4.50). hmm.....wat can i say????Food is expensive in Melbourne. RM4.50 is ok..but...$4.50 times by 2.78...is round14.30 for a sandwich...!!!!hmm.i prefer sandwich from Starbucks Msia then...pay the same price but much much nicer compare to here.
Went home after tht as ek having class later. Meet up with Ek again in the evening, to hav a look around Melb city.Bought 1 whole loaf of bread..cost $3.85..but they really taste nice....hmm..can last me for more than a week..hehe....In Melbourne.everything is BIG!!!!their food portion is BIG!!!their ppl is BIG (tall i mean...really tall.......much much taller than EK!!!!their breads are also BIG!!!!haha..yeaa... i luv bread..can't deny i'm a bread lover ~~~~
