Today's my 5th day in Perth. It's really very cold here. It's like constantly living in a fridge. haha. I'm starting to forget what it feels like to have warm weather :P I've been rather busy (well, yuexing too. haha) ever since me and yuexing touched down in Perth on Sunday afternoon.
When we were outside of the airport, waiting for yuexing's uncle to come and fetch us, i was looking at the beautiful sky, and i said to God, "God, this is the beginning of a whole new phase of my life. I know You'll lead my every step. Teach me to trust You even more." Yup. The feeling was kind of surreal, cos i still can't really believe that i've reach Perth. haha, and what's more, i'm going to be here for the next 4 months.. and well, in total, 2 years. I was really tired that day, cos we woke up quite early to go to the airport. So after calling my mum, i went to sleep already.
My orientation started on Monday till Thursday, which is today. Well, Monday till Wednesday there wasn't much going on. Mainly just talks, briefing and doing the admin stuffs. Today is the officialy orientation day called the "Kickoff". Orientation was quite alright, made a few new friends, from Norway, China, Malaysia and Singapore. haha.
The busy and tiring part was that from Monday to Wednesday, me and yuexing were like busy buying furnitures and groceries. Some of you might have seen the photos of the things that we bought in the back of the car.. haha. Yeah. That was Monday. Tuesday we went to buy furnitures like my table, shelve, mirror, etc.. super tiring. Cos we had to fix it from scratch.. but when we finished fixing the table and shelve, the sense of satisfaction is great. haha :P
I learnt how to travel to school on Wednesday. So now i sort of know how to travel around from home to the City and school. Not bad for a road idiot like me.. haha. Wednesday's orientation was mainly doing the enrolment and time-table. Took me in total like 6 hours.. 11.30 till 5+pm. But well, in the end, i will be doing 3 majors - Management, Entrepreneurship and Marketing. yep. cos i need to complete 16units (units are like.. subjects) and doing 1 or 2 major wouldn't be enough cos there are many overlapping units. So i end up doing 3 majors.
3 majors sound scary.. but actually, it is just like.. you know, sec sch, taking Triple science.. Pure Bio, Physics, Chem. and then under each Science, there are different sub-category. smthg like that.. haha. kind of confusing. well.. at least i know it'll look good on my resume :P
So, that's my life so far in Perth. Thanks to yuexing for bringing me around so that i won't be so lost and also cooking for me. haha. She cook, i wash. Thank God for everyday, cos it's really by His grace that i can come to Perth, study in UWA. The settling down process has been quite alright too, though there were just short periods of time that i sort of miss home. But well, God always send me His angel to encourage me with words, moral support and all... (: so the homesickness isn't that bad..
School is going to start next week. Lectures in the 1st week, and then tutorials will start in the 2nd week. Kind of exciting to start school yet at the same time, a little apprehensive cos i don't know what will be happening. But i guess that's fine. God will lead and take care of me (:
Missing everyone back in Singapore. Esp. my family, relatives and close friends.. but don't worry about me. I'm fine here (: I will try to upload the photos soon and update my blog when i have the time.
