Life Goes on...in Perth

From Swinburne, I transferred to Curtin University of Technology. From Marketing and Management major, I switched to Marketing and Logistics. Logistics is the course in which I have always wanted to do, to have a more professional qualification to help in dad's company in future. Its not offered widely in Malaysia, only diploma in UCSI Kuching. Finally I got the chance to persue a degree in Logistic, a great chance indeed to be given the opportunity to study overseas. I know many wants but dont have the chance.

Without realizing, I have set foot in Perth for more than a month, coming to 2. Its already week 4 of study for me and week 4 is coming to an end pretty soon and it'll be study free week next week. Its really a late posting...Time flies? Now I agree, not before uni starts...

Looking back, I came on the 8th July. That's the time when I really got nothing to do here. Luckily Delia is around and she brought me around Perth. Spent the next few days driving around Perth, trying hard to recognize the routes, places so that when mum and sis come on the 14th July, I can bring them around.

Finally, on the 14th July, mum and sis arrive at Perth International Airport around 7 something in the morning after clearing the quarantine and customs checking. Its freaking cold that time, especially early in the morning.

We spend most of our time at my place here, the place where I am going to stay for the next 2 years..Hopefully..Cooked dinner most of the time instead of dining out as its hell expensive to eat out. It become a routine that we all will watch drama every night after everyone had dinner and bathed. Its really an relaxing time for mum especially, away from all the work pressure, though for the first week, she got lotsa emails and telephone calls from Kuching. Its freaking boring in Perth if you got nothing to do. The hour and minute hand of the watch seems to be sticked with glue, not moving. Even my sis complaint, 'why still 9pm ha?' Too much time. But as days passes, we kinda get used to this kinda slow life.

Of course, we went around Perth. First few days, we were totally driving around blindly, without knowing where we are actually headed to. Went Garden City and Northbridge a few times, and also Fremantle. That's the only route I remember. Then, on the 17th, I got my Iphone 3G. With its GPS, we manage to go around many places. We even went to Mandurah by driving. I also got my study table and chair from IKEA, only made possible with the GPS navigation. We also went to the City by train...A great experience for mum I guess...walking around the city..and, guess she was freaked when the train door closed before she manage to get out on our way back. Called her and told her to get off at the next stop and I went there to bring her back...sorry...Besides......Thanks to Delia for her car...! without it, we will all be stuck in the house...not being able to go much places.

I skipped most of the orientation activities organized by the Uni to spend more time with mum and sis. Its a time well spent to be with family. I am really grateful for mum and sis to take the time to be with me in Perth for the first 2 weeks, even extended their stay right up to the day before class start!. Thanks mum...Thanks sis..! and of course, thanks dad for giving me this opportunity.! It really felt so warm especially during winter to have family around. Wonder what would I feel for the 2 weeks here if my family is not around....! Must be the most suffering time ever in my 22 years of life...

As for the places we went, pictures speaks more than words...


The day I came, shot this at Changi. Compare the Airbus A380 with the Boeing 747 behind it?




Koala Bears...



Quokka.



Small Kangaroo

King's Park



























































Swan Bell Tower...











Lastly, my living room...What's that green BUG on the sofa?


Once again, its really a great time spent with you mum and sis...thanks for the support and time..!
