Welcoming the soul of South

Hi mate,
G'day,

I have been wanting to publish this blog once I stepped down on this huge land of South - Australia. Reason of being here is to challenge my self with some other form of achievements. This new land brings me with a lot of new flashing images in my small little brain.

Taking my studies journey towards this land has always been my wish, I aimed, I shot, & I goal. But I have forgotten to set another goal, which wasted a lot of valuable aimless day, the day that I don't even know what am I doing. I have forgotten what's my next goal, perhaps I haven't set any goal for my self. It might because the journey to this track ran so smoothly, so smoothly that I don't even think is hard, not until I starts to fight with the evil side of me. I keep asking my self question that I can't answer. The nightmare has been awhile with me for the past 3 months. After all, is not really that bad in fact.

The land that I had landed is called Melbourne, is located in Victoria, Australia. Progressing my journey in this University that scattered around the city of Melbourne, RMIT. To gain knowledge and ideas that I have never heard of, to gain inspiration through environment surrounded by me. To achieve a much better person in life. To challenge exotic sports that I couldn't try back home. To travel around this huge piece of land. To load in more flashing images in my small little brain. - This has all been my new goal for now.

Melbourne have been said by others that it is a city of art & culture. Nevertheless, it is art & culture from every corner in the city. The face of Melbourne it's like angel on the day & devil on the night, and it's written on a huge gridded land.

On the day, Bourke St. Mall is the place where everyone pay for goods without hesitation, the culture of drinking coffee has plotted a lot of cafes on the grid. The artistic sculpture is everywhere in the city.The tram's sounds the city is like adding a light layer of cosmetic on the city and created the ever happening city of Melbourne. Around 5.00pm, things started to change, it's getting dark, with lights on, working men & women starting to take off their formal attire and change in to either cycling format or jogging format attire.

By Night, the city fills with music played by busker along the street. The illustrator came out with a charcoal stick and canvas starting to illustrate people. Every single pub / bar is filled with people with laughter gently place on their face. The crowd is happy, cause it's a friday night. It's never that happening on a street that I have seen before. The happy city, cheering every where, in what ever format of your own liking. From Jazz bar to Rock bar to clubs. Anything that you wish to, you get it.


At least this is what I observed.

Cheers,
Progress in Southern Land.
