Hello and g'day! (well it's night but yeah, you get the drift ;) ) It's been ages since I've last blogged and that was prepping up for Perth and now, here I am in Perth, in my friend's unit, blogging my way, into the night. LOL
Anyways, it's been 2 weeks (well in the middle of 2 weeks now) so far in Perth and it's been crazyyyy. Stories and updates are coming ... NOW
SOOO, I boarded the flight at 3.55pm all the way to KL. Reached KL at 5.30pm and then transited to Perth at 11.50pm. Arrived in sunny, hot Perth on a Sunday morning and I just wanted air-cond, more than anything. Although the winds were cool but that was at 7.30am in the morning and the sun shone like it was 9.00am. Immigration didn't check for any food and that was my first time experiencing that, so woo! :)
Mum's friend's daughter, Letitia came and help to bring our luggages and us (of course) to their lovely house, which was 20 minutes away from the airport, locating in Maylands. The first supermarket I saw was Coles and I was elated. (Ok, I'm not that sakai la but still, it was the first Aussie supermarket I've seen in ages LOL) So yeahhhhh
Went into the house, emptied the car and put the luggage into the house. We all chatted a little bit and then we were off to sleep. Yes, at about 9.30am in the morning, we went to sleep. Woke up at 11-ish and went off for lunch, just down the road to a Chinese restaurant. Had a AU$9 lunch- char siew with some friend rice and gosh, it was so salty but appetizing. YUMMM
Walked along the sides of Maylands where the pharmacy and a local small supermarket was. Bought some sunscreen to protect the already puteri lilin skin from the hot sun and some groceries, of course. Walked back, crossing Coles and interestingly, Coles isn't open on Sundays (well at where we were la) and mum's friend was driving pass and we literally got into the car and drove home.
Going back to the house, we chatted again and was getting ready to move my luggage and stuff to Vickery House. Called to the office to check if I was able to check-in and to my disappointment, the Housing Officer wasn't in and I could only check-in the next day. Thank goodness I called in to check, if not, an almost 1 hour drive down to the city and further down to the South would've been wasted. GOSH imagine that. So in the end, we went off to rest a bit and was awoken for dinner later.
Mum cooked her usual vegetable and some beef, all with rice and some soup. Mmm, Later at night, went out to the city (to Northridge or Northbridge coz there was (said) a lion dance and parade for Chinese New Year celebration. Apparently we went late and it was all over. People were packing and stuff. Nevertheless, we were brought to learn about Transperth and the transportation system. (Y) Awesome :) Went back home, shower and got ready for bed.
The following morning, I woke up and got ready to move out. Ok, not really move out but moving to another place, down South. Drove down from the North, to the city and then finally to the South, at Canning. Went into Canning College for the first time. A large campus with multiple rooms (well, duhhhh). Enrolled for classes- Chemistry, Human Bio, Maths 3CD, English (Pure English) and Psychology (whoopee) LOL Enrolled in the WACE course, which is normally for Aussie locals or PRs. yeahhhh
After all enrollment was done, it was time for check-in into Vickery House. Managed to check-in and was briefed about safety and precautions and stuff. Sat through a 5 minutes video on fire prevention with another unit mate. Got all my things ready, went to Common Room to see and the same to the Laundry Room. Went into my room and boy, was it a big one. It fits a L-shaped table, a bed, 2 shelves and a small closet. Yes, picture it. The kitchen area was AWESOME with 2 fridges, 2 pantries, a dining table and a kitchen stove with cupboards and stuff (and a sink, of course). I wish I could take pictures, maybe another day? ;) Mind my laziness
Went out for groceries, lunch and banking things. Came back home, met with my roommates and then started unpacking and cleaning up. I pimped it up (LOL) Ok, maybe not so much, but I had a room so I was thrilled to keep it clean and decorated the pinboards with my receipts and some pictures of Jesus. Hey, I had a small corner (near my bed) for some pictures and a set up for my faith so yeah. *Proud* LOL
Met with the girls- Janna, Cindy and Bren Sia over at their unit which was ironically 2 doors down. (They're Unit 33, I'm Unit 31) Had dinner with them and the new girls- Siew Wen and Audrina. Met with other people as well from their orientation and then it was soon time to kick back and sleep.
That's all for now. XD
CONTINUATION TOMORROW
It's like 11pm at the moment, so so so sleepy from exhaustion and sleeping late :( Updates soon or tomorrow (if i'm lucky)
