ORIENTATION DAY!!

Yep, so today was the orientation day at the college, loads of internationals, I used to pity those that were studying abroad because its simply not your "home". Now im one of them. Yep, self pity! But of course, I feel bad for those who comes from further away, and is not really good at English, because everywhere you go in Melbourne, its all English. Im doing ok, I can blend in, I just get lost in the streets and have to ask my way back. But what about those who got lost, and had trouble communicating where they want to go?

Ok, so I wont complain =P. BUT the only thing I will complain is the carpark charges! Bloody Aud11 for the wholeday if i come in by 10am. But its good, my classes start by 750am next week.

After the orientation, its time to head home, but I walked passed the busiest street in Melb and i heard music that just is soo sweet to my ears. House music with a "ZING!"

See that bloke there with the pipe? I dont know what it is, but, it adds a good beat to the house music that was being played. Something like a remix! I just had to stop, take my cam, and snap a pic while carrying tons of textbooks which I collected. It is just so awesome!

When I reach the carpark, I realize that I had another problem, I had to drive home when there are more traffic and more cars in the city at 3pm. I encountered a problem where Im at a traffic light, and its a traffic light to fit 1 car. The next street is the street with trams. There is a sign on my left which I do not really understand. It says something like only these types of vehicles not permitted. And its a letter. How do I know what type of vehicle am I on? Im in a CAR! C-A-R!!

So a trucked turned, and I follower suit. Then I start looking around, shit! Taxis, trucks, but no normal cars! So, I think my "type" of vehicle is not allowed, and I panicked!, I started to look for other exits. I got out, then the GPS tells me to make a right turn. OMG! The bloody "HOOK TURN" So I panicked again. But when I saw the familiar highway heading home after driving for 10 mins, I was RELIEVED!

So I reached home safely, my body still intact, my heart pumping at a normal rate, then I got excited!! I HAD to put on my uniform!


Then i had to go "WILD" with the pineapple!


So I guess, this is the start of my journey. All I can say is "Wow, its really happening.."
