O' week

This is the end of my O'week (Orientation week -red) in Monash University Clayton Campus. It was an awesome two-weeks i can say. The programs is not just about academic and campus stuff, but also about australian campus, melbourne, and making friends here.

During the first week of orientation, Monash Abroad introduced us to Australia in general, and Melbourne in specific. I met lots of exchanges student from around the world, Malaysia, US, Germany, Japan, and many more. The one i like the most during the orientation is,, free food are provided!! WOoohohoo.. don't be naive. It's Australia. and food are extremely expensive here. So anytime we have a chance to get the free one, why don't we take it?! ;)

Pancake and muffin for breakfast, BBQ and pizza for lunch. Ahh. i just can't resist it. Sllrrpp..
By the way, since the meal is so expensive here, i HAVE TO cook at home, besides, all the shop will be close at 6PM everyday, no more mamak, no tenda-an, so COOK is a MUST. I bought some groceries together with nukke. And we had our first cooked food, bake potato. It was okay, except in the beginning i actually grilled it, because i couldn't turn the oven on. It ended up burning on top. hahaha. but again, it was not bad, we just throw the burning part.. :P

We quite often went to the city in the first week, with the guidance of Monash Abroad team. Queen Victoria Night Market, Super Nice Durian and Ferrero Gelato Ice Cream which i forgot what's the placed called, Koko Black, Pacific, Shanghai Dumpling in China Town, Bimbo Place where we can get $4 home made pizza per pan :), Melbourne Central, Art Gallery.. Those are some places i went in our first week of orientation. Not bad huh!

And today, as the closing of the Orientation Week, we went to Healesville Sanctuary to see koala, kangaroo, platypus, wombats, emu, and others local animals. It's FUN :)




Hello, Mr. Koala!


Hello, Uncle Emu!

Fun fact about emu :
In a season, female emu can lay 3 x a dozen eggs. Once it lays eggs, male emu incubates them for 3 weeks and raise their children for months.
