It's not about Valentine's day.
It's more about my arrival in Clayton, Melbourne.
Saturday, 12 feb 2011
I flew from Jakarta to bali, with all my luggage for Melbourne. I thought i could go out, spending some of my waiting time around kuta and having dinner there. failed. because of 1 hour delay, i just sat in solaria, Ngurah Rai, enjoying my dinner all by myself while waiting for Nukke's arrival. Bali was hot and only solaria and starbucks have the proper indoor-aircon-system.
After around 40 minutes, Nukke came and we checked in for our flight to Melbourne. On that 5-hours night flight, i think i could only sleep for 1 to 2 hours. Different with most flight from indo, flight from bali have more foreigners than local. it makes us feel departing not from indo. However, a Balinese guy sat right beside me. We had quite lots of conversations about him being Australia-graduated-scientist and about me studying science. We ended it when the light turned off and both of us fell asleep.

Arrived at Tullamarine airport on 7.40 am (4 hours ahead Jakarta time), Dion fetch us. Arrived safe at 30 Evelyn St, finding that the room is far larger than i expected made me happy. Huhh. i kinda worried took the house without doing any inspection before. But fortunately, the house is okay, the landlord is kind, and hopefully the housemates too.. It's a multinational accomodation i can say. We're dealing with Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Chinese, and Vietnamese as our housemates. Guys and girls.
We continued our journey to do some urgent groceries. Our landlord drove us to the groceries centre and he explained how to walk back. The shopping was okay, except the 9100 rupiah per i dollar part =.= On the way back, we walk walk walk, but we didn't even know where we were. it was a long tiring walk in the hot sunny day. lucky, we met someone who roughly know where our house is. Finally we arrived home safe.
After a while, Melissa, an indo friend came by and asked us to visit her place. She introduced us to all of her friends and we watched movie together in her cozy apartment. It's very nice to be surrounded by kind people. Melissa helped us a lot, she gave lots of info before we arrived melbourne, and lent us some stuff we didn't have like pillows, bolster, and hangers. She fetch us to her place which is around 40 mins drive and send us back to clayton at night. She treated us like old friends, even it was our first time meeting her.

Met Ola and Shin Hui (both are our friends in Malaysia) by accident, ended having lunch together. I haven't got any australian phone number yet, it takes time to activate the bb service :( We spent the afternoon by cleaning the house with its kitchen appliances. It's kinda an exercise too. :P
It's the end of the day and i'm sleepy..
Get ready for tomorrow orientation! Woohooo..
Good night world. :)
