With this...

With St Francis Choir Bass Section. There are only 5 of us usually. Really fun people to be with. Going to miss them for the next 3 months.
Another quickshot. Taken from my N95 8GB phone. Sorry for the hand there. Shane has a funny expression. Yes, I am the youngest in the bass section and in the choir.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.... marks the end of the official full week in Melbourne for the year 2008. Although I have only been here for 5 months, it has been an enriching experience for me. For those who are thinking of overseas studies, I would suggest that you go for it as you can get to see a different aspect of life, a different side other than those rigidity of Singapore.
What I will miss in melbourne during the summer holidays (not in order of importance):
1) My friends in my music course and of course those in COSDU.
2) The weekly (almost) Saturday morning jog at Princes Park with Philip and the rest (though they didnt join us faithfully in every week.)
3) St Francis Choir and the Choristers. Without them, I wont be able to fully understand the Aussie Culture here. Anyway, I miss singing the mass with them, we don't get to hear chorale mass anywhere in Singapore, do we?
4) My mobile phone internet which allows me to go to facebook at anytime, anywhere.
The above are the events that really settles and sumarise my time here in Melbourne for the first semester. I didnt really get to go travelling about that much due to financial constrains, but nevertheless, have been to Geelong, Williamstown, Albert Park and Royal Botanical Gardens.
Living away from home can be a good thing and bad thing. You learn to manage your budget, learn to do things independently, learn to take care of yourself and more about yourself.
Of course, there are some moments during my stay here which I find it rather intimidating. What if I sleep in my room here and never wake up again? Will anyone know? =)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The remaining three days here in Melbourne will just be purely dedicated to shopping, practising, cleaning and packing.
I would expect a busy summer holidays with all the catching ups with friends, meeting people, concerts and others.
Anyway, for those who is interested to welcome me back home to Singapore, you can let me know asap via msn or facebook. I will let you know the details. (Not as if anyone will bother or care? )
To all my friends in Singapore, see ya! =)
