Great Ocean Road.. at last

After much delay, expectations, desire and daydream... I had at long last went to the Great Ocean Road.. I did not drive the full destination as there were not enough time for us to go all the way and also $$ for me.. Just drove up to Apollo Bay then came straight home.. started the journey at 730am... It was traffic jam all the way to springvale road but we avoided it till then and took nepean hwy end up it was still jam.. we reach the city 2 hours later that meant that we were late for out schedule.. drove to torquay to shop awhile as this place is quite famous for its surf beaches and we just went to Rip Curl, Billabong, Quiksilver shops before continuing our journey... drove back took another 5 hours i think.. that sucks.. now I am having a headache..

Went to school for the first day..













Today went to our campus which is practically opposite to where we are staying.. Time to reach school? 2 mins? maybe 5min if the traffic is heavy.. Process was smooth but we still met with some problems as I think TMC is not doing their job properly.. we 4 are like aliens in the campus.. they just cant find our names and stuffs in their system.. whereas the other 3 singaporeans we saw at the briefing in singapore went through their process with no difficulties..
Spent about 3 hours for the enrolment in the end.. but was worth the wait as we all had finished all the neccessary stuffs for the study and now is just waiting for the semester to start. Then reached home, solved our internet access and wireless is working at last.. everyone is now in their room using the internet which was quite unusual as we would stayed up till late to watch tv and chat.. then we did went for a very short run along the pathway to Frankston.. Nice Day but Hot.. tomolo would be hotter.. good luck all...
