It’s Friday liao, and weekend is approaching… we’ll only have 3 hours of ministry time on Friday as most student there don’t have lessons on Friday… we can see the difference the moment we enter the campus.. there’s lesser students walking around…
Since there’s fewer students walking around, it means there’s a even lesser chance of meeting a contact… so we decided to go to the dinning area at the campus centre to do our survey… there’s still some students there having lunch or resting… most people also pack their lunch from home as the food there, esp Asian food are really expensive… the only thing that’s cheap is pizza.. but cant eat that everyday la…
We sat there and met a group of students.. they’re from Singapore and Malaysia… we did the survey with them and start a conversation with them… they also told us more about Melbourne… but we did not managed to share the full 4SL with them as they prefer to read it themselves… but most of them took home the booklet and said they’ll try to come down to our booth next tue…
As we talk for more than 1hr, it’s already pass 1300hr and there’s not much student left in the dining area…most of them are eating or are locals… so we decided to go to the grass patch near the religious centre to rest as we’re suppose to meet there at 1400hr for a training session…
We had our training on Lordship of Christ at the main chapel of the religious centre… it’s a good environment as the place is quiet… but halfway through our session, we were informed that some ppl had booked the place so we had to leave… thank god we found another smaller chapel but this one has direct sunlight coming in so it’s abit hot…
After the training, as it was only 1630hr, we had some time to spare.. so we walk around the campus and take photos… at this time on fri there’s actually not much ppl left on the campus… looks like a holiday instead… it looks really deserted from far and its totally opposite to Singapore… in the campus there’s specific location where student clubs can paste their poster or flyer there.. the place is full of poster and there’s no guarantee that the poster will stay till the event date.. but we still decide to paste some of our poster there to ‘advertise’ our events next week: The High Visibility event and Student Life LIVE meeting…
We then proceed to the bus stop to take a bus to Wailing house… we are to take 738 but we forgot that in Melbourne they have the same service no. but will travel in different direction… so when we see the bus there as we walk to the stop, we just ran there and board the bus… it’s only after the bus left that we found out that it’s traveling in the other direction… actually this won’t happen to 737 that we usually take as it’s the terminal stop, but 738 is not…. So we had no choice but to alight and take the one from the opposite stop… while waiting we saw a 2nd hand car dealer and the 2nd hand car in melbourne can cost as little as $3499… that’s probably one of the cheaper things there compare to Singapore, but we cant bring back… haha… although the next bus is coming in 5mins but it’s terminating at monash uni… so we took that bus back and here we are… back at monash uni bus stop… we decided to wait there as there got another bus… luckily the Met card there allows unlimited rides within the period so don’t have to pay extra… we waited there for almost 25mins before the bus come… it took only 5 mins before the bus reach the place but we spend almost 1hr on it…
Wailing house is also a single storey house… in Australia as the land is big so there’s seldom multi storey apartment like our HDB… most ppl house are either terrace or bungalows… can affort that as the land is cheap… haha… we had our dinner and sharing there.. the spaghetti cooked by the Australia staffs are really good… the house is also very neat and tidy too…
We left the house at around 2030hr… the 3 Australian staff send us home in their cars as it’s inconvenient for us to take bus home… we also did not have our worship and devotion but we planned to start tomorrow…
