Since we came back from Singapore, we've done up the house a bit more to make a house look more like a home. I've also started work for a few weeks now.
Job and work topics will be absent from my blogs for obvious reasons, however I may talk about 'work life' in general.
I've been taking the train to work (in CBD) but occasionally driving. Trains here are fairly frequent and the service from our stop, Box Hill, to CBD is quite fast (18mins) as there are express services during peak. This means that the train stops at only 2-3 stations as opposed to the full 12 stations. That makes a big difference.
Weather here is still cold. 5-17C usually. Day time is OK, but it is quite chilly in the morning and nights. Although my train ride to town is 18mins, I take another 18mins to walk to station from the house. I tend to walk faster when its colder :) . It's a good 1.3km walk, so it can be a little uncomfortable when the mornings are 3C and all I got on is a suit. Once I get my new car (on the way) I intend to do lot less walking in the cold.
Once I reach my station in town, a short 5min walk brings me to my office. I would normally grab a coffee and "kueh" at a nearby coffee shop and "tarpow" up to my office for a quick brekkie. That has been my routine so far. A brekkie like that costs me around $5. Things like that are more expensive, so one needs to get used that. If my "brekkie lifestyle" becomes unsustainable, I will probably resort to waking up earlier to eat at home ( = less sleep).
Little Matthew has also been coping quite well. He is aware of the changes in the surrounding, but doesn't seem to be affected too much by the changes. This is a picture of him with his new bed in his room.
