After living 6 years in Melbourne on my own, I am now back in Penang.
I miss my room and my apartment in Melbourne so much though. Not really getting used to the heat here T_T
Last 5 Days In Melbourne
Monday, April 9, 2018
6 years ago, I spent my 18th birthday on the plane alone to
Melbourne. I had a backpack that was half of my size with my laptop in it and a
freaking electric guitar on one shoulder. I nearly killed myself as I walked
through the long airport hallway. At 18, I would never have a second thought about anything. I
thought wearing graphic tees and denim all the time was cool. I had this horrible
haircut. Guitars and Korean dramas were the life of me.
I'm 24 this year and I'm the complete opposite from the 18-year-old me who just got to Melbourne. Even a small little handbag weighs a tonne on my shoulder (god knows how did I handle the guitar and laptop back then) and I am no longer as innocently courageous as before. As I am typing this, I am sitting in the
middle of my super messy room waiting for a buyer to pick up my unwanted piece
of furniture. The reason for my departure is because I haven't gotten the
Australian Permanent Residency visa's invitation from the Australia government,
so I'll have to go back and wait offshore.
24 Things I Learned at 24
Saturday, March 10, 2018
When I was young, I used to imagine how much I would've achieved and learnt at the age of 24 because that's when my mom had me. Little did I know that quarter life crisis would hit me so badly.
I have nothing figured out - not a bunch of savings to buy my own apartment and I see making my bed, having a clean desk and doing my laundry as "milestones" of life...On top of that, the biggest questions are "should I wash my hair today" and "what should I eat for the next meal".
Despite all of these, I feel that I do have some lessons that I learn which are worth sharing.

Recap of 2017
Tuesday, January 2, 2018
Not going to lie, I am still wrapping my head around the fact that I am turning 24 in 41 days and it is 2018 now.
Here's the time where everyone started to come up with all those Facebook memories and Instagram best photos...I am still keeping it old school by writing it on my blog. Or to play the game more seriously, I may somehow copy this blog post into my diary if I feel like it.

Before I dive into my Korea trip's itinerary, I thought it might be useful to compile a list of tips/lessons that I learnt while I was preparing or on my trip. For those who are heading to Korea whether with friends or alone, I hope this helps :)
