Earthquake Felt

today was the st tie i felt an earthquake

4.26pm while taking a short nap. i got shock instantly by this strong force as the building shake.
It was scary and it lasted for 20 seconds. I could actually felt the building move and my bed was totally shaking.

Went out of my room and saw my other floormates opening their doors as well and we just stared blankly at each other. lol

Message my other fren, and he said he felt the shake as well.

ITS HOT AND IS SHAKY. Melbourne's weird + scary + shaky

Cultures being Crossed

Last Sunday, went to a church in the city. It's called Cross Culture Church.

About 60% of the congregation is aseans. I have a feeling to continue going to this church.
This month is Pray for Indonesia month, we got into groups of 4-5 and started praying for Indonesia. As Indonesia has conflicts between Islam groups towards the Cristian community there and a vast majority is Islam about 88% and there are millions of people in Indonesia who have not hear the good news of the Lord, we pray that they will come to know the Lord and enter his glorious kingdom.

This Tuesday is Sue Zann birthday. =p. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. miss you so much.

Bought a basketball and soccer boots today. = ) have slim down =.= my jeans keep falling off.

Weather in Melbourne is strange. I'll tell you why

Saturday - Tuesday = 13-19 celcius
Wednesday - Friday = 23-27 celcius

27 celcius feels hot somehow over here

Moomba Water Festival

On 6-9 March, Melbourne was in a festival mood with the Moomba festival which is held on the Yarra River.

When to the festival on 7th which is a Saturday. Let me put my activities in a sequence on what I did that day.

10am - 12pm = study economics
12pm - 12.30pm = bath and wash up
12.30pm - 3pm = went to Ikea with my Indonesia friend and his sister @ Richmond
3pm - 4pm = check out my friend's newly moved-in apartment at Collins Street
4pm - 6pm = play pool at Bourke Street. $15 for 2 hour. (the cheapest in Melbourne)
6pm - 6.30pm = went for dinner at Chinatown (Msian food, so not nice)

Then after dinner was walking back to apartment along Swanston street, then I bump into my other friend who was having dinner with one of his friends in a restaurant. Went into the restaurant and chat a bit, then we decided to walk along Yarra River. Then I just remembered that there is a festival going on.

We took quite a number of pics and we enjoyed the carnival/festival and the fireworks was superb. Then we all bought Light sabers. hahahaha.

Then on the way walking out of the festival area, I met Amirah and her friend Iman. Such coincidence to bump into her, in a plce where there were hundereds/thousands of people.

10.30pm = Went to Coles Supermarket to do some grocery shopping for food supply.
11.00pm = Reach back at Apartment and finish studying economics.

Here are some pictures :

Nice name for a drink. xD found in Aus.

G'day frm Australia

Hey mates,

I'm doing much better now. Home-sickness had reduce quite a lot now after I settled in already. Getting use to the life here, how the system and so on works and operates.

Met a Msian guy in my class and an Indon. Pretty close now. And the Msian guy friend is Tung Her, whom is currently studying in RMIT (only SriKdu ppl will know him) good to meet old high school people.

My class is an International class for now which is so much smaller then a normal degree class.

My International Business Class - 18 ppl
Normal Degree Class - 200-300 ppl

my class is the smallest currently. xD. so we get more attention and got more oppurtunity to ask the lecturer when we don't know something.

My class has no Aussies but people from all over the world like China, India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Oman and Sri Lanka.

It was super windy yesterday, dust went into my eye many times yesterday. =.=
Today, was a bit windy + cold.

I'll be uploading pics soon.

TaTa for now

Sad

I'm in melbourne now. It was hot few days ago, but its cold these days. I really miss home, miss my family the most, and everyone in oc.

I thought I was really ready to go study overseas alone, but guess not. I miss them so much and I feel really sad. It's been a really long time since the last time I cried till now.

I won't be seeing my family in months and I'm already this sad. Imagine those who have lost their loved ones, they must be really really sad. But no matter what, we must stand strong as God will guide me and those away from their families to stand strong thru these period of time.

Classes starts tomorrow at 9am. its 15 mins to 11pm. Goodnight all.
