Studley Park Here I Go

Dufan, Musium Gajah, Monas.... Mostly Indonesian know all those place? Do you find the similitarity among them? Try to combine them with the word student. Yee.... all are a common place for school trip. Right now without the help of time machine, I coming back to that era. Me, a 26 years old girl (with the forever 17 heart) and all the WAI international freshie are going to a school, sorry scratch that, college trip today. The place called Studley Park, located outside the city.

Let me quotes the word from my orientation schedule: "Please ensure students bring their own lunch or bring some money for lunch". Oooh very nostalgic... like an anxious 6 years old girl I planning what i would bring for the trip. Honestly this is my favorite thing when I'm having a school trip. Going to the supermarket, buy chiki and all my favorite full of msg snacks and put them in the nice pink Hello Kitty bag. But once again, back to the future me, I wake up late the next morning, too much planning for the meal I guessed hahaha.... So money for buy lunch it is!!!

Studley Park is a botanic garden. It has a really nice view and we're planning to see the falls. Too bad the rain didn't stop all day. so we just hang out at the cafetaria.... drinking hot choco and cookie. Poor me didn't wear jacket, I'm freezing in my slight loose t shirt. Mhhm... now I realize why many people call Melbourne as a four seasons in one day city, cold ini summer is not so weird i guess.....

So ..... here I am in my room, blogging wearing a jumper, syal and the other winter outfit. Just finish drink my second tolak angin and pour minyak kayu putih all over my body....

William Angliss Institute

Yup.. that's the name of my new school. It's an institute specialize in hospitality. So if you're into cookery, travel,hospitality, resort kind of thing, go to this school. Its located in La Trobe Street, CBD, very strategic area in the heart of melbourne. Usually I go there by train, stop at the Flagstaff station and walk a little bit. It takes around 30 minutes from my place.
I got a lil' confession. I got lost in my first day. Actually I already went there the day before with my friend but when I got off the station I kinna confused about the direction, everything look similar. Yeah me and direction is not a great pal. Can't agree enough with the book called Why men can't listen and women can't read maps (No offence for all the ladies out there who have the map reading capabilities, it's just my fragility). And suddenly, like a God sent for me, I saw a sign from far far away with my minus 1 and a half eyes. A catchy billboard that instantly got my attention and melt my heart. If I can borrow Tom Cruise famous quotes in Jerry maguire, i will say:" It had me at Helloo". So written in a bold letter on the billboard, it said......

"FREE CUBICLE CARRER"

The other thing about this school that made me falling in love is the aroma. It got the coffee and cookie aroma all over the place, especially in the cookery building of course. Imagine the first smell you catch when you enter the coffee shop, that's exactly what I felt. Since i'm quite a coffeeholic and a sweet tooth person, this is like heaven. hahaha.....school never felt like this before.

I don't know about the reality later, the time when i can't even breath with all the class and assignment. But for now, It's like a dream come true.
