Melbourne Life Chapter 9

The days have been getting colder of late.

Yesterday night I slept badly.
I couldn't get him out of my head while I was studying,on the way getting back home and even dreaming.
Every single moment.

Here came the subject selection session.
A student required to choose 3 elective subjects in Trinity.
In fact I'm going to take Bachelor of Commerce and major in Actuarial studies thus Maths 1 and Maths 2 are compulsory for me.
I can choose either Accounting or Economics as my 3rd elective.
But somehow it is well known that both of these subjects are playing very important roles in commerce studies.
Initially,I intended to choose Accounting as my 3rd elective.
Also,I met the head of department of Economics and asked for her permission to enter the lecture as long as the time is not crashed.
She said that would be alright but mostly the time will be crashed.
Oh well,so I made an odd decision at last which was taking the 4th elective!
Of course,I have to study harder and longer period than others.
(No worries,the head of department told me that I can skip the final exam if I'm not able to cope with it or even stop learning the 4th subject in case I feel stressed out)
Anyhow I still need to wait for the approval for my application.

Moreover I joined University of Melbourne Actuarial Studies Society today!
They will notify me if there is any event.
Marvellous!

Unfortunately,I forgot that there would be an orientering competition at afternoon so I wore high heels to school.
Can you imagine that I wore the shoes and ran about 45 minutes?
OH GOSH,IT WAS TERRIBLY TORTURING!

By the way,dad and sister are going to Brisbane and Gold Coast before coming to Melbourne on the beginning of August.
I'm about to depart from Melbourne airport to Brisbane airport by myself and meet them!
Wooohoo,that must be splendid as they are 3 theme parks I can head to!
For sure,I will cut 2-day class.
But who cares?Let's have fun before getting myself into loads of lectures and tutorials : )

Melbourne Life Chapter 8

I'm seriously feeling lethargic as if squeezed uncomfortably tight.

Inspected another apartment at this morning.
The owner wanted to sell it immediately due to financial problem.
This apartment with 2 bedrooms,2 bathrooms and 1 car space is undoubtedly much better than the one I intended to buy last time.
Certainly,it costs higher than the previous one,that is AUD615000.
But somehow I think it is worth for the price,in Australia.
Anyhow dad said that there is no rush,he will make an inspection once he arrives here on the beginning of August.

Had my Maths 2 introductory lecture at afternoon.
It is somewhat harder than the Calculus we learned at Form 5.
No worries,I can still handle it well.

Got a freaking bad news from sister which was about Yan Lin.
Am I way too cold-blooded?
Be frank,I merely had a sensation of getting shocked,that's all!
I think the only reason to explain this is that I have no any expectation with him already.

Cooked dinner in Melbourne for the very first time.
3 dishes + 1 dessert for 3 people.
It's a pity that Victor is having cold hence he couldn't really taste what I cooked.
I was proud of my "white fungus longan lotus" dessert!
Trust me,it can be on a par with chef dessert!

Just came back from gym.
I felt totally under the weather,perhaps intake too much food for dinner?
Victor bought Choya Umeshu for me at Asian Grocery which costs AUD25!
Honestly,I was deeply touched.
Guess that the best thing I ever had is having Victor and Yienyien as my housemates : D

"Dear Kah Horng,

Hey,how are you going?Still having your super busy life?Don't get yourself too tired and stressed out.Breathe deeply and put your mind at ease once you feel exhausted.

Thanks a bunch for all the recommendation!I found they are really useful in Melbourne.But somehow I still don't have the opportunity to make Australian friends at this moment since Trinity College doesn't accept any Australian student=( What a pity!

Anyhow may you live your life a splendid one : D

Best Regards,

Rachel Lee Bee Hee"

Plenty of imagination I have made about what will he reply.

"go ahead and enjoy life there! will get back to you later on busy busy busy

kh"

This is the version that I didn't expect.
And so it becomes the outcome.

Melbourne Life Chapter 7

今天早上property agent,Monique来到我家。

她说每次见到我我都笑得很开心0.0

最后我签了合同，不过她说有对印尼夫妇也有兴趣，

可能会参与竞标，

真是他妈的，不要让我功亏一篑耶!

过后就跟艳艳去Queen Victoria Market!

那是一个非常大的market，除了卖菜肉水果之外，

还有卖很多很多衣服和纪念品之类的，蛮便宜的。

很夸张的帽子

一条很别致的蝴蝶项链，AUD9而已哦~

COCKTAIL!24小瓶AUD30

艳艳和一只很像她的牛仔^^

这只羊meh meh就是我今天来这里的目的!!!

找了2小时后才找到唯一一个摊位有卖，

于是就很兴奋地买了这只大只的-AUD40(老板死都不肯减价)~

我已经想着要把它放在新家的哪个地方了。

在那里买的羊毛不规则外套，据说是Made in Australia的!

他妈的要AUD99，结果买了后在另一家店看到AUD85的=[

另一件红色的羊毛外套-AUD65!

很sharp叻，这应该是我第二件红色的衣服。

Oh well,来一个market就花了AUD249=RM810!!!

很夸张对吧，看来我已经渐渐习惯把澳币当马币花了。

我问艳艳她当初刚来这里时有没有像我花那么多钱，

她说没有。

看来我真的应该ikat perut了...

接着就去跟艳艳拍大头贴!

人生第一次拍大头贴，因为以前都认为这很幼稚。

结果效果还蛮漂亮的，哈哈=P

这是我昨天在东京商场买的日本牌包包-AUD100(RM325)!

很贵但却被很多人称赞很不错哟~

好啦，现在要去做Gym了，等下再写那封要寄给他的email : )

Melbourne Life Chapter 6

今早迟了出门，结果8.57am才到校。
然后就开始迷路了， 打了很多通电话给不同的人，
并且问了很多路人，最后成功在30分钟后来到讲堂。
于是我迟到了半小时，开门的那一刻全部人望着我，
没什么大不了，迷路而已嘛，鱼惯了。

可以听懂75%，其它呢只要我一恍神就听不清楚了。
很闷的介绍，但还是很认真地在听。
终于下课了，吃了一顿很饱的午餐后就去Vodafone了解一下状况。
回来时朋友们走掉了，然后我又开始一连串的迷路，
到最后迟了15分钟进电脑室，还好这次没什么人看着我。

终于捱到了放学，文艺问我要不要yamcha。
反正来了那么久都还没meet他就答应咯!
他的朋友也是中华的，而且还是跟我同小学，
不过对我没印象。
反倒是我认得他。
我们到处去走走逛逛吃吃喝喝直到7点多。

回家打给爸爸谈关于明天跟地产经纪商谈价格的事，
过后他就问我有没有想念他们。
我很老实地说:"没有，只是想念家泓而已。"
老爸就一句:"去你的~好好读你的书，不要再想东想西了。你看，你来了这么久他都没有问候你。”

也许他真的很忙，
我选择相信他是因为太忙而把我给忘了，
毕竟他是一个以工作为重的人。

刚刚就跟Victor和艳艳去喝了糖水，
好心的Victor还跟我分析了很多关于明天商谈价格的要点。
卖家开价53万，他要我坚持50万，
其实说真的，我能杀到51万已经要还神了。

我决定放下矜持，
明天写一封email寄给他。

Melbourne Life Chapter 5-First day of Orientation at Trinity College

昨晚大概是兴奋到睡不好吧，
今早6点多就自动醒来了。

艳艳带我去学院，
然后遇到贵人带我去学生注册处。

这真的是一座很复古的学院，类似于城堡，
在这里上课心情确实会特别好。
照片我会在迟点空闲时再拍。

学生人数比我想象中少得多，
只有120多人而已，靓仔只有1到2个，却没有一个是我真的觉得帅的。
一天内就认识了好多人，
有来自马来西亚，新加坡，中国，印尼还有一些我忘了是什么国籍的。
其中比较熟的是马来西亚和印尼的!
意外吧，其实印尼华裔长得很像华人，
我还真不小心脱口跟他们说华语呢!

我发觉说讲英文真的没什么了，习惯就好。
面对着马来西亚人，我甚至还忘了她们也会说华语，反而一味地用英文交谈。

走在University of Melbourne和Trinity College的周围，
我仿佛能看到你的影子。
可以想象你赶着去上课的样子。
接着来到Building of Faculty of Commerce，那是你曾经在那里上课的大楼。
经过Food Court时就会看到你曾经说过的notice board。
艳艳说我很快就会忘记你了，
我想说:在一个你曾经度过5年大学生涯的地方上课，被你的气息缠绕着，试问我又如何能忘得了你?

预料之内，新认识的朋友都问我有没有Facebook。
"I used to have a Facebook page."
我以为没有Facebook的日子会很不习惯，其实也没什么啦，
你能做到，我也肯定能做到。

回家前，去Office Work买了3层的Document tray，
RM130，是很离谱没错~
傍晚做了Gym后，就忙着过滤一大堆讯息。

发觉接下来2个星期我都还不错忙下，
Trinity的schedule排到很满，
而且又要处理买房子的事。

哎，我几时才有时间看我的英文书和报纸啊?

Melbourne Life Chapter 4

在OfficeWork买的家私送到啦!

这是艳艳家原本就有的床架和床单。

我在Office Work买的桌子和椅子，一共是AUD248!

我的6格柜子~谢谢艳艳和Victor辛辛苦苦地帮我安装这些家具。

这是我在二手书店买的书-AUD9。

"Take Me With You-Tales of Long Distance Love"

其实我在逛书店时心里面就想着要买一本关于远距离爱情的书籍，

然后就这样轻易被我找到了。

是为什么会要买英文书?

为了能更快追上他的步伐吧。

这是我在迷路时经过的一栋建筑物，也不懂是什么来的。

Well,我的房间还不错吧=D

这几天还挺忙的，直到今天才算比较得空。

忙着联络Property agent关于买房子的事。

其实我还蛮佩服自己的，才来几天就inspect了2间公寓，并且打了给很多agent。

没办法，我必须在8月中前解决这件事，否则就买不了了。

我真的很喜欢这座城市，更喜欢我的室友们。

他们真的让我体会到家的温暖。

在这里，我的晚餐还丰富过在马来西亚啊!

因为艳艳和Victor都很会煮，而我只需要负责饭后洗碗~

昨天报名参加了10月9日的2011 Bank of Melbourne Marathon Festival 10km竞赛。

AUD50,不去convert成MYR就没什么(最衰是它没有包括衣服)。

没有了他，真的找不到动力去跑21km啊!

明天就是Trinity College的1st Orientation day啦!

蛮期待的^^

对我而言，讲英文已经变得没太大难度了！



没有你

深夜里
泪水滴在键盘上

想知道
在另一端的你还好吗
工作还是那么忙那么累吗

想告诉你
放轻松些 别给自己太大压力
我这里一切安好

其实最想说的是
我压根儿没想到 自己是那么的想念你
却只能透过录音片段听到你的声音
我多想打电话给你 你懂不懂

你留下的后遗症太重
我负荷不了
