Hey bloggie!
Finally I’ve got some time to update on my life here. Its been 3 days since I’ve been in Melbourne and one thing is for sure! The weather is really cold!!! BrrRrR!! Imagine me in a long sleeve shirt along with 2 pull overs and 1 jacket! Diao.. so much for having fats.
First thing first, I wanna thank everybody who turned up on Sunday night. I’m sorry if I didn’t managed to spend enough time with you, I’ll make it to you when I’m back k? HugZ and kisses!! =p And thanks to Sab for making me the last passenger to board the plane. =p ok I was joking, I was actually very glad that she managed to arrive in time or to be exact to make time out to send me off even though she’s already at ken’s bday. Thanks sab! Joe!! You too! Thanks for coming to see me off even though u had to rush through your dinner break. Thanks!! Alvin you too.. fancy ya going dblO with me, then you going over to JB and yet still rush down to the airport after that. U = Power! Lol. Ok photos will be uploaded later on when my internet is actually cheaper. Currently I’m at the hotel using their internet. CAN U BELIEVE IT? 10 bucks per hour!! To think Singapore is like giving away free wireless almost any and every where!
Actually today is quite a sad day for me. My parents and I had actually went down all the way to point cook to look at the flying facilities and instructors. Ok point cook is really far! But well.. its quite an eye opener considering its like the country side? Ok so we spoke to Wayne which was also the chief ground instructor over there and we spoke from the original 35mins to 1.5hrs. It was really enlightening to have our questions answered. And now.. the disappointing news. I’m only going to do my flying diploma after I complete my degree as even after I complete my flying diploma and receive my liscence, I will still have to pay to fly in order to maintain my liscence through the nxt 3 years of my degree course. And the requirements of the course is actually pretty tough. Can u imagine throughout the year, besides major holidays, there are no school breaks or what so ever during the course? While others are back in sg for their summer holidays say frm December till Feburary, I’m actually still there studying? LOL. I don’t know, another reason I guess why I don’t wanna do that now, is also because I don’t think I’m able to take that kind of life for my very first year in Australia, especially when all my friends are actually in Singapore.
So far I think Melbourne is pretty boring. Ok besides having a casino around, things are expensive, shops close early yeah.. there isn’t really much around to do. Oh.. their portion of food is crazy. Its as if, rice or potatoes are free! They just give tons of it. So far between my parents and I its always 2 portions then we share. Even so, we also cant finish everything. -____-|||
Ok I guess I gtg le
Miss you guys! Especially you know who =)
Bye all!
