Hello Mate!

Yes, I'm in Melbourne rite now. I'm writing this blog from the college that i'm currently studying. I'm in the library coz we couldn't get any internet connection in our apartment. And sadly, this computer doesn't allow any msn. I miss chatting to my friends online.

OH MY GOD! Melbourne is sooo beautiful. I'm crazy about the brick houses here. They look amazing. Very cozy feeling. And oh my god... i was screaming when i saw our apartments. We have the entire apartment to ourselves. Me and Mei Lin shared an apartment and we have our own rooms.

Our whole apartment are fully furnished with 2 sofas, 29 inch TV, a DVD & VCR combo player, a washing machine and WE HAVE A DRYER!! Our bedroom have a huge wardrobe, dressing table, study table, nicely made bed with towels and a bar of soap. Our kitchen is fully equipped with utensils and cutleries and there's bread, eggs, butter, milk in the fridge. And every single stuffs i mentioned earlier are all BRAND NEW! And on top of it all, each one of us got a special Gift Card worth AUS$50 for us to spend. So last nite, i used it to buy groceries at Safeway Supermarket. I indulged on Sara Lee's Rocky Road ice cream which is just heavenly.

And yesterday, all 4 of us went to venture the City. We took the train and all of us fell asleep coz we're exhausted from the 7 hours flight. Oh my god... the flight... i just had to side track a bit... the movies on the flight are incredible... they have so many latest movies like from Freedom Writers to Dreamgirls, from Babel to Departed. I'm digging Qantas.

Anyway, so we fell asleep on the train and missed our stop. But we managed to get to the City. We walked around a little bit and I was so surprised how cheap the Nivea products are here. I bought the Nivea Cellulite Lotion for only AUS$7.80 = SG$9.75. The last i checked that lotion in Watson in Singapore, it cost $30 plus.

But one of the most shocking thing is that ONE Colgate toothpaste here cost a whopping AUS$8 = SG$10.90!!!! Can you imagine??? And for us back home we can get Colgate at the One Dollar Shop even. LOL!

Well, my time is running out now. I will try to come back and update more often. Goobye mate!

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!
