Living in Australia


Last week was major change in my life as i headed to Melbourne on Friday night to unite with my fiancee. Being a youngest child in the family and always pampered by family members, feeling of missing home appears immediately the day i arrived in Country of Down Under. Sob sob.

Early this year July, i went to Australia Embassy in KL to apply for Working Holiday Visa. The embassy only offers 100 visa per year and the visa has been "hot cakes" since the past years. We are told day earlier that people will start queing in front of the embassy early in the morning to get the queue number before it ends. We could not believe it not until we reached the embassy the next day around 7am with thought that we are early enough. When we reached the embassy, there are about 80 people queing in front of the embassy. The first applicant start waiting at the embassy about 5am in morning! OMG.

Living permenantly in Australia is totally different (emotionally) compared with tourist. There are many things that you need to cop to continue the life here at a place that is new to you. Of course there always will be sweetness and bitterness and definitely it will be one of the memorable and great experince in our life. Ganbatte!

For those who are planning to apply for work and holiday visa, the application will open on next year July and for more information, you can visit Australia Embassy website below:
