Restarted blog.
At least close friends are able to know about my life in Melbourne after being pretty silent about it
Liking the Weather but at the same time can honestly say miss home
Since coming here been studying harder than ever ever before.
For the first time wanting to actually achieve really high. like straight A kinda high.
Feels tough. But all those years of saying i'll only start serious study in tertiary level has finally come to an end.
Studying hard, hoping its smart at the same time.
Study buddy's from Singapore so that helps the momentum.
Internet on student accommodations are terrible. Just only request to cancel it. by 13 June it will be no more.
Apparently my mobile hotspot seems more reliable.
CHURCH
Attending a Church Called City on a Hill (Australia), Anglican base

Worship songs are pretty similar to Eklektos before i left, but playing style is a little less rock and more groove ti it.
Word is base on series as we go through different books of the bible. We just finished Nehemiah and now currently on John having the theme of "the Light".
Every Tuesday we have this thing called a connect group which is similar to a cell group. but how it is being run is not like Eklektos, for us here its more like a bible study, pray and start discussing. A little boring I would say coming from Eklektos. But its something new for me to get used to.
Also every Thursday we have a fellowship night where we just hang out and invites friends to just chill and talk about casual stuff, pretty much like "Yam Cha"
On this day on wards I have only 7 days left before exams which is also 7 days from Gar's, Wendy and Calvin's birthday.
Hope i was able to chip in for Calvin's guitar present.
Good thing for Gar I manage to plan to buy that awkward turtle soft toy he seems to like and also a "sometimes cupid is stupid t-shirt" i'm pretty sure he will love it.
Sadly i was not able to plan anything for Wendy though
Honestly speaking when it comes to balancing studies, sports, social life, spiritual life it has been very tough
Ever since coming to Melbourne things has been more of a mess actually.
I'm not very concern over the physical and social stuff but to face the fact that when it comes to spiritually health, its not as easy sailing as it used to back home. Over here it has been more of a challenge and as expected greater heights to climb greater depths to venture into.
Sometimes I find myself spending too much time on the internet reading on articles that are pretty much pointless and soon to also be outdated. Thinking to myself why am I not spending my time wisely. There are also times where I kept thinking of whats the point of socializing and sharing so much. Having had to break such mentality knowing its outcome is not bright at the same time not something that I would actually want to end up at. As I took time to slow down despite Exams coming soon I figured I would restart this blog of mine after reading a note that was given by a friend as to stay updated on my life in Melbourne.
Come to think of it, this might help others know the general struggles that one would face when studying abroad.
I believe this post has come to an end of a brief summary of what has and been going on
