Surviving the Aussie Winter – Part 2
I haven’t had a decent meal since I arrived. Food is so expensive here. Have to save up to pay for books as books allowances only come in somewhere in November. Lagipun macam sangat susah nak carik halal meat from this supermarket yang dekat nie. Ada halal butcher but it’s quite a distance away. I will wait for Ella to get a ride there. Ella is Aunty Geethi’s friend who lives 20 minutes from the campus. Anyways, entah kenapa perut nie sangat baik. Tak lapar langsung and Alhamdulillah, tak gastric pun. Tadi bukak fridge tengok all the stuff yang the girls tinggalkan before dorang cuti. Everything looks halal. Banyak seafood and tetiba ada Sambal Uleg dalam tin. This is Indonesian food. Huhu.. and then ada perencah nasik goreng lah. So, I’m really hoping that my housemates nie semua tak makan pork! Nanti senanglah nak pakai peralatan dapur. If tak semua nak kena beli set baru. Kuali, periuk, pinggan, mangkuk, sudu, garfu, pisau, cawan, sponge basuh pinggan… Huh! Semua duit tuh..
I already obtained my student ID. Security tuh kata my pic was the best he has taken in the day. Hiks! Semua orang sangat2 baik to me. I still tak boleh access computer lab to use the internet sebab my class only commences next week. Pastu sangat pelik sebab computer usage ada quota of 30MB per student per week. Macam mana nak kira MB or whateverlah kalau nak guna webmail or YM ker?? Tak faham. Nanti nak kena jumpa ICT officer. Pastu kat rumah takleh excess wireless campus. Tak dapat signal. Nak beli package broadband wireless boleh. Tapi its AUD150 for 10 weeks. That is RM450 untuk 2 bulan lebih jer.. masih berfikir untuk amik ke tak.. nantilah..
I’m currently listening to Dewa’s Dewi.. Lepas rindu.. feels like home again. Still can’t believe that I’m actually here studying in Australia . Tadi I stood in front of the campus door and looking up at the sign saying University of Southern Queensland . Smiled and realized this is no more a dream. It’s happening and it’s happening to me. Alhamdulillah, rezeki Allah melimpah ruah untuk aku. Banyak sangat dugaan sebelum berangkat tapi masih ada saja ruang untuk menyelesaikannya dan mendapat yang terbaik. I owe a lot to all yang telah membantu. You know who you are. Semoga Allah melipatkan gandakan rezeki semua. Amin3x.
I didn’t get to thank all yang datang ke airport. Papa, Auntie, Misha, Linda, Abang Saiful, Alvaro and Aunty’s Family sgt ramai.. dearest friends Esqa & Leen.. Pagi-pagi dah sampai.. Thank you so much for the bracelet! Love it. There’s Shamsul, Nareem, Afiq (my dearest students cum bothers and sistas). Oh, Nareem, I read your lovely letter. Thanks sayang… and of course MAWAR!! Sayang, I’m sorry I dapat jumpa u tak sampai 3 minit! Sedih sangat! I had to go in. dah lambat. Thanks Mawar sebab datang all the way dengan Arissa. My heart will always be filled with all of you. My endless love, hugs and kisses..
