Assalamualaikum, family and friends.
Finally, internet access after DAYS!
I am currently living on 5809/570 College Square Lygon, Lygon Street, Carlton 5035 Victoria, Australia.
It's all good. Food, friends, company, weather. A bit rough on the skin, and I miss familiar sights and faces, but the love is still surrounding me, so that makes it all the better.
We're having a cold summer as it moves into autumn. The flight was memorable. Aizat and Adeq were wonderful company. The Aussies hooting in the back were also entertaining. Noisy and sarcastic and brash, but I've learnt to expect that.
Melbourne is filled with Asians. Many, many Malaysians. Many Chinese, Indians and Malays. A few scattered Caucasians.
It feels like walking along a very, very long Petaling Street. Only minus the traffic jams and the litter and the jaywalkers. The traffic is wonderful here. The television networks, not so. Well, less distractions that way.
Although I miss Astro a lot, a whole lot.
I was lost yesterday. Disoriented and sleepy. And food has been a problem, only because we don't have the ability to cook right now, due to the lack of pans. Thank Allah for the seniors who have been cooking endlessly for us, day and night. Once we go to market, it'll all be fine, I reckon.
The Australian accent is catchy. The Australian timzone (+11.00 GMT) is not.
Ah. Banyakkan bersyukur dan beristighfar, a good friend told me.
I do that everyday.
The weather is killing. My lips are cracking. Alhamdulillah for lip balm.
Will manage more words and a better vocabulary when I'm not as sleepy or tired. I can't wait to test the new pillows. After I finish packing and calculating the receipts.
Wouldn't you believe it of Syazwina Saw? Heheh.
Wasalam.
