Life in Melbourne -- Close

Still can't believe that I'm back in my own room..sitting down on the floor, blogging after doing my quiet time. Just realize how far I have been drifted away from God's word and His presence. It's time to come home, back to the house of God, back to His words...

By now, I had already left Melbourne for more than one day. My last few days in Melbourne were fully occupied. Finally, on Monday morning 27th of June, I made a trip to the 12 apostles, the Great Ocean Road. No one would believe that I drove there, well, not by myself, but with my uncle's family. The journey was tideous. I would categorize it as a once in a life time journey, which will possibly means, I won't go back unless necessary. Spent a whole day with my uncle and family.

On Tuesday, last minute shopping. This time, I fully concentrate on souvenirs, still, end up buying things for myself. Bad bad bad...
The party starts at NIGHT>...
My two lovely cousins actually planned a farewell party for me! They actually made an effort to call my music conv friends, well, two of them turned up, Yoyo and Bell. I was really surprise. I received my first bouquet of flowers from my cousins!and some presents along with the flowers! I really didn't think that it will turn out this way. Really thankful and happy. So thoughtful of them even though they were in the midst of moving to a new apartment. Thanks a bunch to the both of them and to those who came to the farewell party,*you know who you guys are*. Honestly, life in Melbourne wouldn't be complete without you guys, and those who spent time with me during my last few days in Melbourne....

Not going to talk about every single detail...cause I was drunk after that, due to some drinking games!ahahha..but it was a fun night!=)

Got up on Wednesday morning, and had a hang over for about 15 mins. Then, start packing up my stuff...had dimsum with a few other friends, then left for the airport.

Saying goodbye wasn't easy. I thought it wouldn't be hard, but it was. I didn't allow my tears to fall for I know that they are precious. Everything happens so quickly that I don't even have time to react...don't even have time to get anything for my friends and cousins in Melbourne...don't even have time to say a proper goodbye to some of my friends..Friends, I'm sorry,but, we'll meet again, somewhere, someday, in that I believe.

Leaving

5 more days, and off I go, back to Malaysia. Two weeks ago, I can't wait to go back. Now, I wish I could stay longer. There are so many places that I haven't been, so many restaurants that I haven't tried, so many people that I haven't yet meet..friends that I haven't got to know deep enough, haven't even found a home church *where I can serve*...All in a sudden, I'm going home.

For the past 2 weeks, I haven't been doing much things. I barely remember what I did..am I getting older?! I basically wake up in the morning, get changed, and go out. My room is in such a mess, I can't be bother to make my bed, after all, it's a just a place for me to sleep..Had been hanging out with my cousins a lot lately, most of the time, see them everyday. I don't feel like blogging anymore..I'm too tired.

Eager to start off new in Boston, yet, reluctant to leave the *foundation* built in Melbourne over the past 4 months..Hardly can I hold my tears when Phoebe left..neither can I when I walked into the music con., the library, everywhere in Univ. All these things have already been part of me..my routine. I knew that I'll be leaving Melbourne from the start, but, I didn't know that it'll be so hard...

A visit to the City of Churches --- Adelaide

*Before I start filling you up my visit to Adelaide, lets talk about thursday!! *

*Thursday*

Had a good night sleep on wednesday! I slept at 4a.m., then woke up around 1pm . Took my shower, then got ready for school. Big day!My piano exam!! I reached the music con just in time to warm up my fingers, then went into the exam room at 2.45 sharp! The exam was okay. I didn't make any major mistakes, memorize my piece*they're both easy*, just a little slip in my scales. I got confused between dominant seven and diminished seven!!I kept apologizing, the examiner was kind enough, she told me to take a breath!! By 3pm, I was already out of the exam room!!!yipPpiiiEee..exams?what are they??!!ehheehhe....muahahahha...

Next, Food!!and shopping!!went shopping with Yolanda!It was her birthday!we didn't manage to have any great celebration, cause it was kinda last minute plan..still, it was great!!took loads of picture of ourselves, again!!

have no idea why this sign was there!!


yoyo,me & bebe!taken at QV where every1 was watchin..ehehe..

*Friday,Sat, Sun,Mon*

Since my flight to Adelaide will be at 7am, so, I might as well not sleep. I started doing my laundry at 2a.m..then tidy up my room, chat a little, then pack my stuff to Adelaide. At 6am, I went to the airport!! My goodness, I was so exhausted by then. I slept through the flight...

It was raining when I arrived in Adelaide. Took a cab to Cheejin's place...felt really tired!!Met him, got my keys to my room, then sleep!!yes, that was all I needed at the moment!!!

Got up, went for lunch, then, to his bio lecture!!ahahah...couldn't understand a single thing the lecturer was saying, so, I started taking pictures, sms, reading my story book,eating,...drinking,basically, anything you'll do during a boring lecture.

After 2 hours of boring lecture, we went to do a little shopping in Adelaide. Unfortunately, I guess I've *overshop* in Melbourne, therefore, nothing really stands up...so, end up buying nothing!!record!!

Day one!

On Saturday, woke up pretty late, cause I was really tired from thursday...went to Hahndorf.Basically, a place with vineyard, strawberry farm, and 1 main street. Got home, eat, and sleep...

Stop pullin my leg!!!

Sunday, woke up really early, because we're going to church with his friend, Sabrina! The service was pretty good, got a free CD!!eehehhe..after that, lunch at Glenelg. A pretty nice beach,with loads of restaurants, and some shops. All was good, except that it was way too cold. The wind was so strong that even I felt like its gonna blow me away!!!ahaah..lolz..

Sabrina, me & cheejin!ahahh..he got cut off..taken on the fairies wheel

On monday, after having dim-sum in the city, I booked my flight to Melbourne!!Went for a walk at the Torrents river,*really nice scenery*, then to the Cathedral..then to Univ. of Adelaide. Took loads of picture. My photographer did quite a good job!!eheehh....

When I finally reached Melbourne, I was so happy!!ooohhh..there's nothing like-----Melbourne!Back to civilization!!*joking*..Overall, I still prefer Melbourne to Sydney/Adelaide!!I did have a good time in Adelaide!Don't feel bad for being such a *bad* tourguide!!ehhehehehe..

This is the Moment

I always thought that this, rite now, finishing exam, is the moment I've been craving for...but it's not!! I'm so bored now!! Going online, finally, on online mode, talking to my friends, listening to music, eating egg tart & my newly discovered yoghurt, called the Connoisseur*such a posh name for yoghurt*, it's really nice. Being no fan of yoghurt, I'm actually loving it!!*Melbourne ppl,got get it from saveway!!*

So, how was my exam??hmmm..I think it went pretty well. I did pretty good for my listening, I think I got 2 wrong out of 12. Music technique was alright too. Except for history, well, actually, I think it was okie too...GOSH!!what am I doing??talking about exam!!see, im so bored!!help me out!!

Can't go shopping or partying, cuz I put on heaps of fat!!So, I guess, I shall stay at home, and???...Hibernate!!! sad sad sad...I wanna go home!!I need massage!!top to bottom!!
Oh!I've just discoverd this icon thingi in msn, the *old laughing woman*..my gosh..that's super funny!!can't stop laughing that! I need something to do!!tell me!!!

Thoughts on my mind now...

...Exams starting tomorrow which is going to last for 4 days...

...Not motivated to study, so much to cramp in....

...So near to completion..yet seems so far...you know what I mean?? You're in the last chapter, however, it seems to take forever to even finish reading one single line!!....

...Can't wait for monday to be over, yet, hope that I have another week....

...So ironic...I don't know what am I doing...

Random

Listening to Josh Groban's *To where you are*...the stillness of the morning air surrounding me...it's 4.07 am..and I've just finished studying parts of my Barouque & Classical..feeling cold...my heart suddenly sank to the bottom..for no reason...tears rushing down my cheek..again, for no reason...not that I'm stress, not that I'm unhappy...I guess...............

I AM HUNGRY!!!
