Chan in Melbourne Update: 8-Oct-2004

Hi All,
Well I'm back in Melbourne and I'm fine. A little hayfever but I've got some pills for that.

Ok, so I'm back in my "home" city and I've got to start getting my life back together. I've now got to find a job, buy a car and then move out. Oh not to mention I've got to clean up my room... Since I've been back I've made a big mess... (It looks like a bomb went off in my room).

There's not much to say really.

Since my Last post I travelled through Malaysia and stayed with Patrick Pincon for 2 days. Then I went to Singapore and stayed with Julian for a night. The next morning the Heng family picked me up and took me around Singapore. After that I went to Indonesia for 2 days and stayed with Fadrian and his family at his home town. That was fun and a little more culture shock. By this stage I was EXHAUSTED I really was. I was looking forward to going home and sleeping for a very long time. After Indonesia I back tracked and took a boat from Indonesia to Singapore and from Singapore I took a bus to Malaysia. Where Patrick picked me up from the Bus terminal and I stayed the night with him. The next morning to took the 06:00 (am) bus to the airport.

I then flew from KL, Malaysia to Sydney Australia. Where Anna (my girlfriend) was waiting. So I stayed in Sydney for two and a half days and then flew back to Melbourne, Australia (my home city).

But it doesn't end there folks, the next morning I took a bus up to Mt. Buller where myself, Alan and Tomoko hired some Snowboards and went snowboarding. It was great fun but I really was exhaused. I picked it up fast and had the basic skills that I needed by the end of the first day. By the second day I had the basic technique mastered. But by the third day I was so exhaused that I found it really hard to get back up after each fall. So I called it a day at about noon and headed back to the apartment for some R & R and waited for the other two to arrive back.

So my whole trip finished on the 29th of September 2004 when I arrived back from Snowboarding. I've spent the last week and a half cleaning, shopping and lazing around... I needed a rest after my LONG trip...

I hope you have enjoyed my Blog up to this point. From here there won't be many stories to tell. So I'm not sure what's going to happen from here...

I will keep you posted with that's happening with me but I'm not sure if that's going to be all that interesting.

Take care and keep in touch,

Chan in Melbourne
