This feelings..

I've been hanging out with the Japanese Studies Society (JAPSSOC) eversince I first visited their Kaiwa session in Mutsumi every Wednesday 2.5 months ago. 
And to be honest, I think I am in love... 
...with everyone! ♥♥

I sure hope these feelings remains for the rest of the year. 
But then again, you'll never what'll happen next,
what will it be,
just wait and see. 

p.s.: I am currently addicted to hugs. 
I can't help myself!

First Things First

Since this is not my 1st time being alone in a foreign county, I kinda know what to do once I arrived Perth. 

The reason why I need to get a sim card first is because I need the 3g internet! I need my GPS! 
It took a long time for me to figure out where I was going before I could find the phone store. 
Of course I asked some random people there, but somehow they're not much of a help. Here some photos I took while wondering around the city.
Eventually, I found a Vodafone store, and bought $29/month deal with 500MB internet. Although the 3g is 10x slower than the ones in Brunei, but atleast the map's working! I had to be super patient though..

And immediately I used my phone to make appointments for house viewings. 

With my google map working, I was then capable of going to the Uni without the need to ask anyone. On the way, I made a friend with a very cheerful Canadian girl :) She made my day. 
I was captivated by the beautiful campus upon my arrival to UWA.. 
Notice the giant 'breathing' flower in the middle of the pond, I thought it was the wind that made it looked like its alive.

Went to the International Student Centre and Student Support. Thought the staffs in the Housing Service will help me find a home, but all they did is giving me a thick guide booklet and led me to the computer room for me to use the net to find an accommodation myself. But that was to be expected anyway. 
I spent hours and hours in the computer room day after day searching for accommodations close to UWA. 

It's been nearly 10 days since I arrived Perth, 
but no luck finding a place near Uni. 
I was only allowed to live in Townsend Lodge for a week, so I was worried at 1st. 

So where am I currently living now? :) 
Wait til the next post.

My transit in Singapore.



Hello Lovelies 
I have been in Perth for 4 days now ()ノ and I love it! 
The people here are super nice and the weather's amazing!

Shall I start from the very beginning?

The flight was at 9.10am in the morning, there's no direct flight to Perth, Australia. So I had to transit in Singapore for 8 hours from 11am-7.30pm, do you get that? 8 FREAKIN' HOURS! 
Luckily, Auntie Susi was there for her vacation also. She was kind enough to fetch and let me rest at the Michael Hotel in Sentosa Resort where she was staying. 
We just had a walked around outside Universal studio. Too bad my time was short, if not, can get to enjoy inside the entertainment park already. 

Anyway, I went crazy over a peanut butter cupcakes. If only the Australian security wasn't that strict with food. Oh well, im sure can get these in Perth. (can kan?) 

Had lunch at Vivo Mall. 

Delicious Japanese bento for only S$5.70!



Had a great time with Auntie Susi and Auntie Hjh Aisyah 














Really enjoyed it :)
Lots of love Auntie Susi!

Had to go back to the airport and said goodbye to my Aunty at 6pm. My flight to Perth was at 7.45pm, felt really sad as I realised that Im gonna be alone from then on.

As I was all set to fly in the plane, I got excited by the good list of movies! I ended up watching 'Summer days with Coo', super sweet. 
Had soy sauced chicken with white rice for dinner, not sure it was a right choice afterward. But nyeh, good movie balance it all. 

Arrived Perth and finally went out at 2am! Gawd, such a long security process! (Arrival time supposed to be at 12.45am). 

Was worried because I have arranged a free Airport Pickup from the University (UWA). Good thing they are willing to wait for 1.30hr. 
Whereas in UK hostels usually don't accept guest after 11pm, I was also really glad I was still able to get in at 2.30am. 
I am currently staying in Townsend Lodge for a week, It's pretty okay :) 
...If only they serve free breakfast!
