We wake up at around 10am MEL time… (8am SIN time, so still ok)… then we had our brunch (meaning eating breakfast and lunch together) as it was quite ‘late’ liao, before we move over to have our training session on ‘Living with Harmony’… this is quite important as we’ll be living with each other for the next 19 days, and we have to learn to understand and give in to one another to prevent mis-communication or quarrels… we were also briefed on the Australia lifestyle and climate…
The session lasted for about 2hrs… after that, we got more excited as we prepare to go to campus, which is Monash University… to get there, we had to walk abt 10mins to the bus terminal to take a direct bus there… the bus no. is 737… along the way to the bus stop, we try to familiarise ourselves with the route to the bus stop as we’ll be using this road everyday…
Whoa… the bus intervals there are really long… about 20-30mins… cant afford to miss the bus if not have to wait for that long… we reached there at 2.35pm, just in time to catch the 2.40pm bus.. if not must wait till 3.15 then sweat liao… the bus ride took about 20mins, and along the way we get to see more of Melbourne… one of the most ‘funny’ thing is the traffic light… in Singapore at the traffic light predestrian crossing the green man will flash at the last few seconds but here it was the red man that flash… at first we thought there’s something wrong wit the traffic light…
After we reach monash uni, we went for a prayer walk around the campus… we also were brief for what we’ll be expecting for the next 10 ministry days in campus, and also to pray for it… we also went around exploring the campus like their canteen and religious centre… as we were hungry by then, we decided to buy somethings to eat… the food there also quite expensive, even on campus… I bought a fries for A$3…
Soon it was 4.30pm and we head to the cellar room to attend their live meeting, which is like our CLM… but theirs is only 1 hr long… we had worship and then a speaker will speak… but I think we were too tired and still not use to the weather that some of us fall asleep during the session…
After the meeting ended, it was 6pm and the sun has already set and the sky was dark outside liao… this is total opposite to Singapore… it’s still 4pm back home and the sun is still shining brightly… we talk with the aussies for a while before heading to the bus stop to go back to glen waverly fpr dinner…
We had our dinner at Grand Tofu, which is a Chinese restaurant… there’s a few other Chinese restaurant at glen waverly, like Bob’s kitchen… I had chicken rice… the serving of the food here is really big sia… for those small eater can actually share with another person… the price is like value for money, cos it cost $8 and got a serving about twice as big as in Singapore where it cost $4…
After dinner, we head back to our apartment… as many of us are very tired already, we just had a short briefing before going for our rest and sleep to prepare for tomorrow…
