You know.. After spending like about three weeks in Trinity and getting to know people here and there, in this class/ tutorials etc etc., I found out that I can 'click' more with the Singaporeans and Malaysians bunch than the Indonesians bunch. This sounds weird considering that myself is Indonesian=.=

But it's true. They are more easy-going and also friendlier. Indons are more.. I dunno.. Sungkan dan jaga image? Etc etc. And besides, I feel more comfortable with them. Like I can be myself. I kinda hold back in front of the Indonesians, like the way I do in front of stangers or people I've just got to know, which is again very funny. Shouldn't it be the other way round??

It doesn't only apply here you know. I still do hold back a part of myself in front of my Indo friends in Indo. They don't know me like totally. In fact in front of them I'm rather quiet. A statement which my Singaporeans friends would probably disagree completely with. Rika? Quiet? Bullshit. You know how noisy I can be.

The thing is.. I can never be myself in front of them. It's like everytime I have this feeling I have to hide some parts of myself be it this one this time or that one the next time. There is like ALWAYS a part of me I have to hide. Sometimes I even feel like I have to pretend into someone I am not.

I dunno lah. I dunno if you get me. I'm just penning down my thoughts. Just ignore this post hahahah. For now I gotta sleep. Catching a cold:(

Yesterday in History Of Ideas tutorial, we spent the whole 90 minutes getting to know each other. There was this girl from China who said that she loves the weather here in Melbourne. And after that you could see everyone giving their what-the-fcuk look. Like.. seriously girl???

You see the other day I forgot to check the weather forecast so I turned up for my lecture first thing in the morning in a woolen hoodie or whatever you call it and a tank top underneath plus my leggings. It was like 13 degrees or something so I was basically freezing. It was raining too on that day so there was like no sun. So the next day I wore thin jacket on top a t-shirt and then bring another coat-like jacket with me. In the morning it saved me from the cold yeah but that day was quite sunny and so it was kinda hot in the afternoon.. Like maybe 25 degrees. Like what the heck I looked so stupid carrying two jackets in such a sunny and rather hot day=.=

Yeah so.. The whole point of this post is that the weather in Melbourne is so freakingly and disgustingly extreme. It can be all cold and freezing in the morning and then suddenly turn hot in the afternoon. Mad irritating.

"Do you want to sit?"

I remember thinking: wow now that's a gentleman! He's also not as childish as some of the other Singaporean guys. I later found out why: he is 21 this year. He went to JC (maybe for a year, not very sure) and went for National Service before coming here. So old.

I am like among the youngest here. Together with the rest of us who are born in 1993. Majority are 18.
