About Me:
Hi, I’m Tian! I’m an Australian Permanent Resident with a deep, 25-year history in Melbourne. I first arrived in 2001 and completed my Postgraduate studies at Monash University in 2008.
After a significant chapter back in Malaysia between 2010 and 2025, I’ve officially returned as a resident in July 2025 to permanently settle back in the city I call home. I’m a mature, grounded professional with the stability that comes from decades of life experience both here and abroad.
My Professional & Active Life:
I am a professional Massage Therapist with a steady clinical practice in Bentleigh. I’m a daily commuter, so I have a very disciplined and reliable routine.
My life is centered around health and the Collingwood community:
• BJJ Athlete: I train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu regularly at a gym on Hoddle St. It’s my primary anchor for discipline and fitness.
• Creative Soul: With a background in JMC Academy and experience in town planning n architecture, I appreciate the creative and heartbeat of the inner north.

What I’m like as a housemate:
• Proven Stability: Having held my PR since 2008, I’m not just a tenant; I’m a committed member of the community. I’m looking for a long-term home (12 months+).

• Respectful & Mature: I value a clean, quiet, and well-maintained shared space. I understand the importance of boundaries and mutual respect in a high-quality household.

• Friendly Professional: I’m always happy to share stories about Melbourne’s music scene or BJJ over a coffee, but I equally value everyone’s privacy and downtime.

• Dog Friendly: I have a great affinity for dogs and am very happy to live with them.

The Essentials:
• Budget: $350/wk.
• Locations: Strictly Collingwood or Abbotsford.
• Move-in Date: Feb 20th. (Can be discussed)
• Parking: Since I drive to the massage clinic in Bentleigh, a reliable parking option (street permit is fine) is essential.
