G'day my lovely sweethearts!

Haha! I'm getting hooked with these Australian accents really. It's kinda infectious when you think about it.

The sun is almost setting here in Melbourne. Had a photoshoot today for Melbourne's Local News Paper. Apparently, we'll be appearing in the news papers so i'm gonna get my copy once it's published. So far, the school and our lecturers here in Melbourne have been very excited about our visit and they've been giving us such warm welcomes. We had Mud Cakes after classes for both theory & practical.


Yesterday, was Australia's public holiday ANZAC DAY. It was a memorial day for the war veterans. So Connie, Mei Lin, Vic & me... met our lecturers Frances & Jenny and also our Buddies-- Laura, Sonia, Katrina & Tom, under the clock at Flinder's Street to watch the March Parade. It was a fun experience and Flinder's Street was beautiful. We went snap-shots crazy there.

After the parade, we took a ferry ride to William's Town. Oh my goodness... i felt like i was on a movie set of a Country film. The shophouses look so adorable & classic. We then had lunch by the park. Jenny & Frances treat us to the MOST DELICIOUS FISH & CHIPS i've ever eaten in my entire life. The Fish fillet was so fresh and huge!

Then we had ice cream at the "Ice Cream Shop" (Duh!) LOL! They have the largest amount of ice cream flavours in Australia. So i tried "Choc Rippled Cookie". Oh my god! This ice cream is just to die for... it's better than our normal boring Cookies & Cream or Cookie Dough.

I must mention that all my 4 Buddies are a whole lot of fun and they're so enthusiastic to bring us around the City. They pratically play tour guide to all of us. They're just amazing. I really hope that they'll be the group to come down to Singapore for the Student Exchange.



I'm excited for this Saturday coz it's one of my Buddies, Laura's 21st Birthday, and she invited us all to her party. So we'll get to see how the Aussies party around here.

I had a Bird sh*t on me a few days ago. Me & Mei Lin was happily taking pictures under the trees coz i never knew that i had this fascination with trees till i came here coz they're absolutely gorgeous. Especially now since it's autumn season so the leaves are yellow and orange... and the ground was filled with them. So anyway, people say that when a Bird crap on you... it means that Good Luck is coming your way. So i wonder what would mine be.



BLESSED and LOVED

You look at me and call me oppressed,
Simply because of the way I'm dressed,
You know me not for what's inside,
You judge the clothing I wear with pride,

My body is not for your eyes to hold,
You must speak to my mind, not my feminine mould,
I'm an individual, I'm no mans slave,
It's Allah's pleasure that I only crave,

I have a voice so I will be heard,
For in my heart I carry His word,

"O ye women, wrap close your cloak, so you won't be bothered by ignorant folk"

Man doesn't tell me to dress this way,
It's a law from God that I obey,
Oppressed is something I'm truly NOT,
For liberation is what I've got,

It was given to me many years ago,
With the right to prosper, the right to grow,
I can climb mountains or cross the seas,
Expand my mind in all degrees,

For God Himself gave us LIB-ER-TY,
When He sent Islam,
To You and Me!
