It was three weeks of tough work in front of the computer, training ourselves to be ready to train the others in a few months to come.. I just hope I've had enough training to accomplish the goals.
Though busy, we still got time to go out to do some shopping in the city of Melbourne and its outskirts. Well, we also went to the movies, infact, twice hehehe.. It was fun. The movie theatre located at the IKEA building in Richmond has good sound system. Just enough to make me focus on the movie, and the seats were excellent, big and comfy, mcm Empire Cinema jua rasanya kerusinya (I think).. Can't remember the difference.. ;-)
Shopping!!! I can't remember when I didn't shop anything when I go out after training and even during the weekends. It is either buying some food or clothing, shoes, souvenirs, bags, and so on.. I did buy the Aussie Nougat and also sheep skin for my room (just a small cheap one). The Queen Victoria Market was really... really... pasar or tamu area.. most things are cheap and even cheaper on Thursdays as the rent was cheaper on that day compared to other days.. Another place of shopping was the Direct Factory Outlet (DFO) where most of the goods sold are directly from factories.. I wonder why they sell it cheap.. Then, we found out that most of the stuffs displayed on sale were Made in China or Made in Indonesia. Oic.. That's the reason why.. They buy in bulk from China like peanuts (kacang-1kg means about a few hundreds of kacang).. Hey, good business lah.. People buy a lot too.. Well, it's up to the customers.. I bought some too!! Well, not the peanuts, but clothing, bag, shoes.. There's one corner of Kebab where they sell halal food too.. in DFO in the City.. The shopping complex is right at the Southern Cross Station near the Telstra Dome (Stadium).. Many people transit there, especially when they have to travel long distances within the country.. It is like a meeting place of most people..
It is already 4.00 a.m. here and we have to leave the apartment at 5.00 a.m. very early in the morning.. and I haven't slept today as of yesterday.. I've just emailed my reflections documents to my trainer at around 3.00 a.m. early this morning.. The other two girls are still asleep.. They needed the rest.. For me, I'm just waiting for sahur.. and after that I'll have my shower.
It's windy outside.. but so far these two days were quite warm, no need to wear sweater or jackets.
Just hope that I will get enough sleep in the plane on the way back to Brunei via Brisbane.
Can't wait to see my family and my favourite niece, Meera whose coming to fetch me as well. I just hope that guy would not be at the airport.. He gives me chills.. I'm really worried.. Just think positive Leez.. ;-)
