Melbourne - A New Beginning

I am back in Melbourne, as tired as a dog.

The past few days have been taking such a great toll on me. Although it's only 12.23am now, I am already feeling like I have stayed up for the whole night. To cut a long story short, since I arrived in Melbourne on Thursday night, I have been helping Xuan Ni and myself to move our Kleenex and IndoMee boxes between houses. Besides, I learnt the hard way that Ikea furniture is harder to assemble than it is supposed to be - especially with the not-quite-the-right-size screws.

Personally I just moved to my new house (view my new contact here) which is a double-storey terrace shared with a migrant Chinese family. I was a bit wary at first, you know, to stay with a family whom we have no idea about. However, after spending a little time with them, the comprehension kind of wore off quite naturally. They are so hospitable and friendly, they even invited Yong Chin and I to join their reunion dinner this Saturday. Needless to say, I look forward to having a great time staying in this house, and from the looking of it now it's definitely worth the price I am paying for. Oh ya it's the first time I saw the house when I moved in with my boxes, because Yong Chin helped me with the house rental throughout the holidays.

Academically, the new semester for medicine starts tomorrow. I am already ready to learn more, and to meet my coursemates. It's going to be a tough year, as usual, but with the change of environment and a new start, I am sure I will be able to do better.
