Settling down in Oz

It's been a month + upon our touched down to this country... Thinking back all the stuffs that happen during this period, it just like a dream.... sorting out all the stuffs... arranging ... stress...phew~~ is all over...

Hao started his school at 27 april.. the Education rules a bit different here... 6 years old will need to enter to Year 1 in primary...but you must be 6 yrs old by 30 april... Means.. if your bday fall beyond this date, you are considered 5 years old... sounds complicated?? hahaha.. so Hao end up in Prep year ... next year only enter to Year 1, as he is a December baby!

He started on 2nd term... for the last 6 days of his schoolling, everyday i got to wake up early to prepare his lunch box ...they started at 9am, finished at 3.30pm. He got his swimming class started on 1st day... last for 8 days.. is kind of intensive swimming course.. so parent can follow but drive own car... to the nearby college (Haileybury College) and watch from audience seat ... so i sent him to school at 8.45am and back after his swimming session, reached home about 11am ++ ....phew~ cooking... serviing, laundry... bathing them... thats a day for me...

still try to arranging sometimes for myself for surfing net, posting blog...uploading photo (a lot pending ....) prob the best time is after they sleep... BUT i sleep Toooo!!!! hahhaa...

now is autumn... quite cold...daily temperature is about 11-17 now...

Our next mission is getting Oz driving license...another study for us... 2 computer test + 1 on the road... Australia recognised spore driving license but NOT malaysia :(

not sure how it will become when my mom back to Malaysia,... prob i become a crazy woman yelling the kids along the streets..... hahha...

new start up ....

I arrived in Melbourne on 18 march and had moved to my house on 8 April 2010 at Patterson Lakes ... It is already 1 mth in oz and 2 wks in my new house.. And I had started my new role --> Homemaker (Housewife in Oz is called Homemaker) ... :)

My channel still not tuned to be a homemaker yet... haha.. my timetable still not up, but need to make up soon as Hao going to start his schooling on 27 April 2011 ...next Wednesday...

For the last 1 mth, we had kind of settling whatever we could ... centrelink, medicare ...kids enrollment, house settlement issue. Finally, still left 1... wait for Hao schooling started and to get the driving license...phew~~

Unpacking still on going... mostly on cloths stuff.... here is getting cold... those cloth need to put aside and get them thicker cloth ... winter is coming....

See....still got a lot of stuff..... will tell more in my next blog on the groceries shopping here... everything is quite new to us... still a lot to find out here.....

Here I come, melbourne

Its my 4th day in Melbourne.... only have time to sit in front of my laptop and 'online'..... :)

1st day a bit messy.. as car rental took some times.... end up ... we

a. late to delivery the rental car ... luckily we manage to find a free parking for rental car overnite, as we do not wish to drive 2 cars to our resort (which is 65km from city - 1 1/2 hrs) phew~~

b. late to check in kyneton bushland resort. Well... resort receptionist is not operate 24 hrs like msia.. we reached about 10.30 pm, they closed at 9pm. We tried to contact emergency no provided by the brochure... well.. end up we drive back to city and rent a nite there at Preston...

Good thing to think about is.. we stayed in Preston, we do not need to rush for returning the car before 10am as the rental office just walking distance from the hotel... and we got times to shop for groceries before we check-in the Kyneton resort...

End up, w/o enuf sleep and water, me having sore throat now... and some cough... luckily my kids all well taken care...

Today, we went to Bendigo to register with the Centrelink and Medicare, everything go smoothly.. luckily my mom is here.. helps a lot !!

I still got no time to snap the pix...prob started tomolo ... snap some kangaroos photos then... Good nite!!

2011 dream

It's been some time I did not update my blog...

2010 ... quite a challenging year for me...

There are some major stuffs happened in last year (now considered last year)

There is a new family member :) my super cute chubby lil daughter.

There is a big moving plan for my whole family...

Well... there is no guarantee on there is always turn up to be best of changing the new lifestyle ..

but at least... if there is opportunity given.. no harm to give it a try...

Moving forward is still always better than remain unchanged. I always believe that.. and have faith that thing will go smoothly as planned or as wished.. (something is really not able to plan out).

Everyone has dreams.... passion of life... I do hope my friends do not forget theirs... :)
