I GOT MYSELF AN APARTMENT!!! Finally! It's just a 5-10 mins away from my uni, really close to a supermarket, bank, bookshop, food places, restaurants, and it's just across from the Swan River, the most beautiful river in Perth. And it's a high floor. And there are many buses running pass the place :)

I'm sharing it with this other Singaporean guy who's leasing the whole place. Young Chinese guy, 23, who's doing his Masters in Infectious Disease. Really nice and sweet guy. Reminds me of my students whom I used to teach. Mark. That's his name. Oh, and he's a tidy person too! Yeah! And he has been living in Perth since he was 15 so he's really familiar with the place. And he says he's going to show me around.

The place is nice. It's neat, and tidy. There's a kitchen, a dining area, a lounge area with a tv, 2 rooms, and a small balcony. I get the bigger room with the double bed. And the whole place is fully furnished. Will put up photos of it once I settle in.

And this means that I can go for regular runs by the Swan River!! How cool is that? I went to take a look at the river yesterday when I viewed the place and fell in love with it. It's so beautiful!

A little costly, $240 per week, but mom says to take it since it was so convenient. And since I would be there for a whole year, she wanted me to be comfortable. My mom's the best. :)

I'm moving in in half an hour's time. Mark's coming to help me shift my thing over. We are walking there but cos my luggage is so huge, he offered to lugged it there for me. :)

And after shifting in, we are going to the city to get some stuff such as bedsheets, an iron, 2 more pillows and groceries.

Might not be able to blog for a while cos we don't have internet connected to the apartment yet. But once it's up, I'll update again.

Oh, something totally random. I am totally burnt. It was 35 degrees yesterday. And the day before it was 33 or something. I usually don't burn. I tan. But the sun was lethal. Despite sunscreen, I'm as red as a lobster now. Which is a feat given that I'm tanned enough as it is.
