Sunday and the first day
Sunday
Jason picked me up in the morning for church. It’s been a long time since my last visit to the Planetshakers church. It was amazing to see how much effort was put into the service (including the visitor’s corner and stuff) still it was a bit radical for me. SIgh maybe I’m just old at heart? Still, the energy, effort and zeal in worshiping God in all ministries was nothing short of powerful. After church I met up with good ol Maddy for lunch and a good chat over a cuppa at Melbourne central. Also bought my AUD 109.60 monthly ticket. *OUCH*
-
- We ate here. Nothing out of the ordinary.
-
- Maddy looking prettier than ever.
-
- This burger cost me RM 12. Everything in Aus is expensive except the chocolates. Man.
-
- Maddy putting some burger sauce in her hair for luck :)
-
- The both of us near flinders station
-
- This is part of the 2 km walk that I take everyday. While it may look hot, the weather here has been quite cold since I arrived.
-
- Me in front of Oakleigh station on the way back from the hospital. With my library books in my hand and my new nametag :)
-
- A member of the city library and proud to be one. Membership is free okay and the selection of books is AWESOME
-
- Tis the season for peaches, nectarines and apricots. How YUMMY! 4 nectarines and 6 apricots = AUD 1.50
Monday
Today is my first day of the semester. Was told to be at the Alfred hospital by 8am. The Alfred is a good 20 ought km away. Struggled to get up at 5 AM and to take a shower with the weather at 10 degrees. Had to leave Halls by 6.15 AM to get to the Alfred by 7.45 AM. The journey includes a 2X2km walk, 2 bus rides and a train. VERY TIRING. I don’t know how I’m going to keep this up with the coming days starting at 7.30 AM as opposed to 8. The Alfred however is a beautiful hospital and that makes me excited about learning there. Also somewhat on the way to the hospital is the city library. The convenience of the stop and the excuse of the need for entertainment on the long daily journeys gives me more reason to pop by and borrow books. I borrowed “Poor Mercy” by Jonathan Falls and the movie “Warm Springs”. Then did some shopping at Oakleigh on the way home.
