Warm Greetings From Melbourne

Time flies. I've been in Melbourne for more than a month! =) Homesick? Of course! But going with the flow of university life, there doesn't seem to be a moment to spare to just stop and think about how i feel. Life's pretty great here. At least now I know what it's like to start from scratch. When I was certain that I'm gonna further my studies in University of Melbourne, I only know 3 people who would be coming too. Best of all, none of them are taking the same course as me. Marvellous right? Yeah. I admire my guts too.

I truly learnt lots of stuff here. Before I came, I never once stepped into the kitchen to cook. *guilty look* After 5 days of intensive training from my mum when I first arrived in Melbourne, I cook for most of my meals. I've to say, some of the dishes looked yummy! But, the effort put into it is... Feels like war, every time I'm in the kitchen.

Hmm... the floor is sparkling clean. after sweeping and mopping the floor. I feel soooo much more comfortable. Folded my clothes too. Took me a whole hour to do them both! =(

Finally had the time to update my blog. Been so busy with assignments and tests. Just handed in a 1200 words essay for Accounting and done a test for Economics. Feels pretty weird as my brain cell's still full of sciences. Oh ya. I think I haven't told anybody yet. I'm majoring in Accounting and Management. Took Psychology as breadth subject. So, still learning about neurones and functions of each part of the brain. Interesting, but so many things I need to know.

Done quite a lot of fun stuff here, with visiting Philip's Island (saw mini penguins, wallabies, koalas), orientation, my room flooding, Moomba night, celebrating a friends birthday, exploring the city with friends I met here, Food and wine festival... It's like my weekends are always full of things to do. Been into the state library here too. Super GRAND! They have about 4 reading rooms. Each the size of Taylor's MPH, or bigger? They also have Newspaper room (where people just sit and read newspapers), places with loads of computers, and loads of book shelves (can't even finish looking at the book shelves, so let's not talk about the books there.)

Besides, I also found out what it's like to stay alone. Feels great to have housemates. =P Staying alone also means that I have to pay electricity bills, university fees, rent, groceries and all. Feels good. But as my cousin says: 'Of course good lah! Money come from your father what!' Hehhe. Hope my father won't see this.

Okay. Shall stop here. I have 2 more assignments (also 1200 words each) due next Wednesday. Can't wait for Easter holidays already. Pik Ching and Wai San are coming to Melbourne. Maybe I should go shop for chocolates. They are on sales now due to Easter. =) Plus, weather's getting colder. Good to keep some chocolates. That's all for now. Will try to update my blog more often.
