My best sem so far

Today will be my last day in Melbourne. My last night in this apartment. Having mixed feelings right now. The same feeling I had when I first left Malaysia and came here 5 months ago. Time really flew by just like that.


This would be my best sem so far. My results this sem was the best out of all the semesters and I'm glad I did not waste my parent's money and disappoint them. I'm glad they gave me the chance to experience the life here in Melbourne, even though they had to pay a huge sum of money for this 5 months.


I remembered 5months ago, when I first landed on Melbourne, I was all alone in this foreign country, not knowing what to expect. I was scared. I didn't know what I had gotten myself into. I was homesick ( haha but only for 1 week), I just wanted to leave this place and go home.


But now, its totally different. 5months changed my life. I became much much more independent, learning to do everything by myself, learning that no one will help you except your ownself and learning to stand on my own two feet.


Melbourne feels like home now :( The familiar Swanston Street, so familiar that I can almost remember every single shop along this street. The amount of times I'd walked up and down this street. I'm so gonna miss this place. Bye Melbourne. I will be back, I promise :)


For now, back to reality. Back to usj4 :( Back to being afraid that someone is gonna snatch my bag, or rob me, or slash me, or kidnap me. Sigh.....


I can say that I'm leaving Melbourne with NO REGRETS. I've done everything I wanted to do, visited all the places that I wanted to visit, ate all the food that i wanted to try.


I think I've ate, and visited MORE places than most people who had already stayed here for 3 years. Haha. Sydney, Gold Coast, all in 5 months.

Tried conquering the top 10 most talked about restaurants in Melbourne but I only succeeded in conquering 7 of them, due to lack of time! But its okay. At least I tried all the most awesome breakfast/brunch places and also tried almost all the famous coffee in Melbourne. Naming a few, St Ali, Seven Seed, Brother Baba Budan, Hardware Societe, Chez Dre... Too many that I can't even remember :P


Now I'm looking forward to flying back home, and first person I will be seeing at the airport would be the bf :D Hehe I kind of told my parents not to fetch me so that darling could come pick me up hahaha :P I will seeing them all at home after that anyway.


And and I found the kindest guy in the world, who is so nice, that he offered to wake up at 6am tomorrow morning, just to walk over to my place, and help me pull my fat ass heavy luggage into the cab. I did not ask him to help, he just asked me what time I will be leaving tomorrow and straight away offered to come over to send me off. Awwww I was so touched!! Even after telling him that he gotta wake up early to send me off, he still said its ok :) Hehe thanks so much! I will always remember you and your kindness!! :)


So everything is settled for now. Called the cab to pick me up tomorrow and I will be heading home :)

Bye Melbourne, and Hello soon Malaysia! :)
