I know many of my family and friends have been reading this blog and is disappointed by all the laptop disassembling posts I made. Well, here’s a post about my life.
12th of March marks the turning point (in a socializing way) of my university life, thanks to my aunt who had helped me to move all my things to a room I rented just about 250 metres away from UNSW. Living in Australia has never been so joyful before!
Yesterday (13th March) was the first day I walked to school! It feels great walking to school because I just have to wake up like 30 minutes before school starts. Alright, I’m not going to bore you guys with what I did at school, because it can be summed up with a word spelled “sleepy”.
What are more interesting is when school finishes. But before I continue on, I must first announce that I have found a mom here, no you did not read it wrongly, I said a mom. She’s a girl of course and she’s from Indonesia. I was expecting things like a fierce glance or some hitting that feels like massaging when I first called her mom, but she played it off with “I don’t even need to go through all the hassle to have a kid, how good is that?” and called me “小孩子” (little kid). So I’m going to call her mom from now on.
Well yeah, so I went shopping with my mom, my Indonesian mom, and it went out well. At least I still have a mom to guide and bully in Australia. Haha. She cooked dinner for me too but even though it wasn’t as good (and healthy haha) like the food my real mom used to cook, however I was extremely thankful for what she did.
My Indon mom is a christian and she goes to some sort of bible studies every Friday. I didn’t follow (well maybe not this week) so I went to my friend, Jayson’s house. I was supposed to have seconds but I was too full so I decided not to eat over. I end up playing dota at his place until Kaiyi suggested we play pool at Eugene’s place, called New College Village located right opposite UNSW.
Reaching there was a surprise, there is even a pingpong table! So I played pingpong with a few … black dudes then played pool with black dudes again, named Wangari and Zack. Haha, it was great fun though, knowing new people. And I have a feeling that this does not stop here …
Well that’s all for the day thanks for reading I’ll have to sleep and get ready for tomorrow.
By the way, before I get myself into any confusion. I’d like to make it firm that my Indonesian mom can never replace my real mom.
