Greetings from melbourne

Well, should be from Clayton instead of Melbourne..haha! Today is my third day in Australia. Yesterday afternoon (after the registeration in campus in the morning), the 12 of us (Chean Ying, Yeu Sheng, Nooi Hoay, Calvin, Cheng Khoon, Ryan, Shea Chuen, Yun Ying, Yu Wan, Justina, Chau Wang and me) went to Clayton to buy some necessities and we were like rushing coz the shops close at 5pm (yeah I know that's kinda early). But those that we bought were not enough, and by the time we reached our rooms we're very very tired. It's about 20 minutes (or longer?) walk from our halls of residence to the bus stop, and another few minutes bus ride to Clayton. So it's like a torture when we got back with big plastic bags of things in our hands, having to walk another 20 minutes back to our halls and climb the stairs to our rooms.

Then today we went to Melbourne city to buy some other stuff such as fan (our rooms don't have fan! It's so hot and stuffy in the afternoon), cutlery, food and some stationery. Don't ask me about the price, to Australians it'll be super cheap but to us Malaysians, if you convert them back to RM it'll be like burning a hole in our pockets...

Oh, the weather here is quite different from Malaysia. Maybe because it's still summer here and the sky gets dark quite late. It's still very bright when it's already 8pm! You won't believe that it's 8pm when you see the sun set...haha~

Will write more later if I have time. There's so many things to do!
