Adelaide: A Festival State

I do love when it rains in Adelaide

It was a cold windy Monday morning, class started at 9.00am today. The University of Adelaide was a half an hour journey by bus. 253 or 254 were the only bus available to city, via the Hanson Rd. The bus stop was in a walking distance from our house. It was well known to arrive sharply on time as in the schedule, erected beside the bus stop. "They have estimated the traffic, and the distance. Plus they are restricted to 60KM/H here" Dr Risman told me before.

The bus stopped at the King William Rd, compelling me to walk for 10minutes,encountering the Art Gallery, State Library and Museum of South Australia along the way. Despite it was summer, I was chilled to the bone, nor the $50 jacket could resist the cold breeze. The Australians were very simple, singlets and shorts would be just fine. 

The long walk to the uni

The War Memorial was on the left, portraying names and statutes of soldier die in Australian war I assumed.  The city is quite historic, generally speaking. Yet, some were not for kids to look at.

The timetable was evenly distributed, a single lecture was in the morning and tutorials were at late evening. Leaving the most annoying gap in between. Randal Mall along the Puteney St was the only place I loved to hang out, alone...sadly. "Hello, how are you doin' today?" the most common greet I received when paying at the counter. "I'm fine, thank you" struggling to copy the hard Austalian's slang. But, I never did well.

Late that evening, I walked slowly to the bus stop. Feeling tired, but satisfied. Despite, sometime I did feel lonely here. Hopefully, I would be happy at the end. Meeting and making new friends, experiencing the greatest opportunity in gratefulness. Prays and dua' always worked complimentary, positive days ahead. :)

That's for now

Those who are feeling lonely

try to be out of your comfort zone

dare to greet others

speak up

remaining silent is taking us nowhere

I'm trying my best on it
