Woke up at 10.30am and saw that I had an SMS. Read it and the very first instance, my eyes played a trick on me. I thought it was V who smsed me. I thought to myself if one would be so good and kind to SMS me early in the morning. But it wasn't, just as my 7th sense told me. It was just the driving instructor. He asked if I could have a lesson at 11am instead of 12.15pm. I agreed and went to shower immediately. It was a rather cold and wet day today. It's currently 8 deg in Melbourne. The student before me cancelled the lesson so I took the place instead. And since I had nothing to do, no plans at all for the entire day, I asked if I could do a double lesson and my instructor, Gary agreed. I had my lesson from 11am to 12.30pm instead.

After the lesson, Gary dropped me off at Reservoir station. I took a train and headed down to Melbourne Central to meet up with Ryan. We took a bus to Northland and the journey time was about 50 minutes. Walked around Northland and I ate Subway for lunch. Took another bus back to uni and Ryan was on DC the whole time till we left at about 7pm. He was happy then as he had all the items to occupy himself and what he wanted. We left for the city and we had dinner. Subway again. I like Subway. It's healthy, low in fat and oil and has vegetables. I walked Ryan halfway home and I went to meetup with Chris.

I had planned to meet Chris and go over to Southern Cross station to get the V/Line tickets for myself as well as for my fellow faculty mates for their clinicals but Chris had to rush home. He had been grounded by his dad. And since he really couldn't spare going to get the tickets, I left for home as well. Train inpectors are everywhere. They're real scary.

It's the start of Welcome Festival tomorrow for all the new international students. I'll be involved in helping out and will receive A$20 as an allowance for each day of involvement. I've been assigned for all 3 days this week, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Will be assisting with the sign-up tables during morning tea and lunch as well as leading a group of students for interactive campus tour which we'll walk around the entire uni. My involvement with La Trobe International (LTI) will then end by about 3pm or so. I'll head over to the city thereafter to get the V/Line tickets as well as meet up with someone hopefully. I can't be left alone for long these days as I'll get all emo again. I need people around me and friends.

Watched 881 again just now. I love it. It just brings out the true culture of the getai's (song stage, or street performances during the lunar 7th month to entertain the spirits) in Singapore and the lives of people. It's so very true. And seeing Noris in the show (even though he's just an extra), just reminds me of him performing back home. Memories.

Oh well, time for bed. I've to be up at like 8.45am? Goodnight people and I hope that tomorrow would be a very much better day.
