Come take a peek into my room? My new home! From West rez to the South here I come!

June 12, 2011 by thejessicat

 

Okay time for you to see yet another one of my places of residence again!

There's this nitty-gritty OCD part of me that loves a well-decorated, personalized, neat and organized room.

 

Most of the time, I'm very proud to let you guys take a look! Well, the efforts that I take to make my room pretty & cosy; one that truly represents me does pay off especially when I have guests over *bigwidesmile*

Remember when I showed you my house and room in this post and another one in this post?

 

Are u ready? Knock before you enter my room! 🙂

Oh and remember I painted that canvas on the top?

 

Most of you know that I live on-campus or more fondly referred to as 'on rez' (residencies) at the moment.

I was allocated to be on the West rez 32 when I first came to Australia, but since I spent 90% of my time and day in the South rez, I've decided to just permanently move into South rez 9.

 

Nicey? 😀 😀

 

Most of the time, my room/house will be splashed &decorated by reds every where.

I often adopt a red theme wherever I stay, but since I didn't have much choice (all my red stuff are in Malaysia!) my room – for the first time – picked up a blue theme instead :( Blue curtains, blue comforter, blue bedsheets, blue pillowcase.. etc. ;(

 

My simplistic wardrobe. I hung up my accessories on the wardrobe

door (so they don't become tangled noodles when I wanna wear 'em!)

 

Seriously, I've spent almost an hour trying to detangle my necklaces/chokers before, causing myself to be uber late at certain events I go to! Grrr. Next time my accessories only stay hung up – no where else!

 

Another angle of my room. Can you see my shoe shelf?

 

Take a closer look 😀 😀 I dreaded how I had to choose between all my shoes to pack into my luggage.

Mom wouldn't let me bring more than FOUR, I was crestfallen! How am I supposed to choose 4 out of my 30 pairs? 🙁

 

I eventually sneaked in more than 4 and ended up succumbing to more pretty shoes here

I bought 5 more. Ooops. Sorry mom. 😛

 

Probably not important, but here's the insides of my cupboard.

 

Facial stuff, make up and clothes.

On to my study table! Where I'm sitting as we speak, supposedly mugging for the exams but can't help to take a short break to blog for a while. Nyahahaha 😛

 

What do you see?

 

My camera gear, a pair of red sunnies, a red shark, an infographic on cannabis, my textbooks, the Greek alphabet, cute postcards, a bottle of memories, a frisbee, leopard-print handcuffs, random train tickets, bus ticket-stubs, tissue, a food pyramid, Churchill's bus timetable and little love notes! Do you spot everything?

 

Okay, one more picture for the road!

Here's a diagonally aerial view of my room 🙂

 

Nice nice nice? *beams* I love decorating!

 

Okay I should really head back to my exam revisions now.

Cheers! And if your room isn't half as neat as mine, you know what to do 😛

500 days of Summer, Autumn and a lil bit of Winter!

May 23, 2011 by thejessicat

 

I must admit that when I first arrived in Melbourne, I had a pretty hard time adapting to the weather.

It was temperamental and yet excruciatingly cold when the sun sets!

 

They say its very likely to experience 4 seasons in ONE DAY. That's how unpredictable it is.

 

The sun shines brightly during the day but the cold wind is enough to give you chills anytime

 

And you call that Summer? Yeah, I arrived in mid February – when it was in the middle of Summer.

I'm sorry, if ya think Australian Summer this year is anything remotely close to any other day in Malaysia, you're terribly wrong.

 

You would never want to be caught dead outdoors in the early mornings

it's FREEEEEEZING!

 

As mentioned, it's not too bad during the day but being typical Malaysian, I'm so used to wearing very

little clothes that I actually forget about how cold it is outside

 

A random mini green pinecone we found.

Whose palm is that btw?

 

 I spend the days indoors with my housies in the West

 

And my mates from the house next door!

 

Always up for a drink or two!

 

As fun as it is in the West, I spend more of my time in South now

I'm glad to have made an awesome bunch of friends there. Love them much!

 

The route between West rez & South rez

 

Sunny days for the Summer, but it never gets anything close to 25 degrees celcius

 

Chilling by South 9's porch

 

At the uni lounge deck with some of my mates!

Without realizing it, the days of Summer are over and we are now in the midst of Autumn.

 

The leaves on the trees has turned yellow in preparation to fall

 

Bright yellow, vermilion orange and deep, scarlet reds beautifully scattered on the ground

 

Different trees shed their leaves at different times.

This tree, for example, was a tad late in joining the rest of his kind, but boasts a beautiful, burgundy hue.

 

Walking by this tree after classes, I can't help but to stop in my tracks

and admire Mother Nature's wonder

 

One morning, as the sunlight peeped through my window and in the near distance, I spotted a tree with bright red leaves.

Seeing that red is my favorite colour and the fact that I never once noticed this tree just outside my rez, I whipped out my camera and bolted through the door in my pyjamas.

 

Excuse the straight-out-of-bed face and hair!

I just had to take a picture with it immediately 😀

 

Here it is again. The rare, bright red ones standing out from the crowd.

Be inspired. I know I am. ;)

 

As of now, it is nearing towards the end of Autumn and we are expecting Winter to arrive soon.

The days are even colder than before and the nights bring frost to the grass and mist to our mouths.

 

Every night hits below 5 degrees celcius and I spend all my time right in front of the heater now.

The roaring warmth helps to keep me from freezing my arse off.

 

 

Branches are left bare and empty for Winter

 

No wonder it's so cold. You can actually feel the chill in the air. I soon found out that it was already snowing at Bendigo, some 4 hours away.

I can't wait for my snowboarding, skiing and tobogganing trip up Mount Baw Baw with my mates in late June when the blanket of snow are inches and inches thick!

 

Here's to hoping it will snow in Melbourne city or Gippsland too! 😀

Not that I intend to freeze or frostbite myself to death, but simply because I've never seen snow before in my entire life!
