M A D I S A

Completed first semester of my Master with very good results.

Tried many new recipes throughout Ramadhan, so many that not one day we eat similar dishes

Finally continue my braces treatment that had been postponed up to 7 months since I arrived in Melb. 

First Eid away from the familiar faces.

Other than cooking new recipes, I also enjoy lettering to avoid brain dead during the break.

More pinks/nudes added to lip stash (nothing new here lol).

Currently, it's 7:58 PM in this part of the world I'm typing from - Melbourne, Australia. It's still bright outside. Supposedly summer but it's pretty windy and chilly today. The air feels hot and dry, unlike Malaysia's hot and sticky sweaty. Sigh. I do miss the coconut water stalls lining the streets back in Malaysia. And the sky is bright, bright blue and strangely (at least, to my thoughts), no puffs of clouds in sight. Just blue. Very blue. 

From Melbourne Airport to Werribee, it was a 20-minute journey. 20 minutes of me sitting at the back seat by myself thinking;

It's unbelievable someone so small like me could ever had a big dream slowly becoming a reality. I am now away from the comfort of familiar faces, streets, you know, the feel, the whole zone. Thankfully, I have my husband by my side reminding me I'm not alone and that's great because it's almost too overwhelming. 

Monash life will begin soon (February 17th to be exact), and I'm feeling a bit nervous. Anything new makes me feel nervous because I wouldn't know what to expect. Of course, first, we need to find a small unit to call our home here before any other thing. 

I'm praying the dust would settle down soon and things would be much, much clearer. Amin.

Love, jnnhmds.
