my internet modem...

hey y'all...i've woke up at 11am today, i was like...finally i can sleep for this long as i have early lectures for 3 days in a role. So after my breakky, we went out to John Curtin School of Medical Research's cafe for lunch...was a full lunch as i just finished my breakfast not long ago...so i just ordered a bowl of wedges...which was huge in portion...and now i'm full with potato...just like a 'dai fan shu" lol. I've actually take some of the buildings in my uni area...just a part of it. These are the area where i wont actuallly go to.
piggy nose hot choc
well, after the lunch, we went to the University Accommodation Office to check our previous rent and stuff...and get back zi's bicycle...then we walked back to UniLodge for a rest...that was a long walk! as uni was big.
the building where i stay...Unilodge Kinloch

so i'm back to my room, waiting for Kevin to come with Corrine and i'm off again. We went to Gungahlin to get my parcel as they've sent my Internet Modem to my first address, what a bump as i've updated my details since...a long time. So i went back to Gungahlin Square to get the slip from my previous housemates and headed to the post office to get my parcel. Oh finally, i got my internet key! means i can surf the internet for cheaper now! wooooooot!ok, we went back to my place as they wanted to have a look at my new place...and they're quite like it. Chatted, looked around and i've gotten some series from Kevin and they left 20mins later as Corrine needs to go for a concert later.
well i opened my parcel, installed the internet modem...and shit! there's something not right with the modem...i cant find the sim card for it...where is it? i looked around...and i called '3' asking whether they forgot to place the sim card in the box...so i looked around again...and oopz! it was in the big box near the invoice. So yay! i got connected to the internet but the speed is sloww...much slower than the uni ones! but is ok! i need more GBs rather speed for more money! so im using it now! and im back for youtubing again! as i dare not to watch any of them before this as youtube vids consumed a lot of MBs! seriously...alot!

so dinner...only me and eric eating tonight, so eric cooked fried rice...was nice and filling!

well thats it for now...

tmr we're going for the party down there...the taiwan club party! yay! free drinks and taiwanese sausages! yumm yumm!

hope you guys have a great one tmr! heart you guys! peaceout!

busyyy but fun

hey peeps! having fun out there?
woke up early again, since i have 9am lectures three days in a role...pretty tiring and dont wanna wake up but i cant, need to attend this lecture for good!

so i went to the lecture...it was 9.05am, and i went in, luckily im not late lol
went i open the door, i saw Jessica! phew...not alone anymore...and i looked that girl sitting behind, was ASHLEY!!! man! she's the first friend i knew in Uni...but she went for an exchange to the States and now she's back! how fast time passed! i was so happy seeing her and i sat beside her (we sat in the same seats and same room, first semester as well...). We've talked non stop, and she told me she had so much fun in the States and was better than the Oz. So while we're talking...ppl started coming in to the room...wtf! Leanne and Michelle!!! OMG!!! they are my bestest friend!!! same class with them was awesome and sweet!!! cant believe they're here as well...

so, Leanne came straight to me and sat next to me...so, she's next to me and Ashley as well, i've introduced both of them and we started to talk again...hahaha...the whole lecture went quite fun and interesting...lecturer was great!

so after the lecture, lecturer told us the enrolment for tute will open in 15mins...so we've decided to head to the comp lab to sign up for the one we wanted...we've waited for freaking 3 hours sitting in the freaking cold comp lab just to keep refreshing the page so that all of us can sign up the the tute, as students will rush to get the tute they wanted before the tute goes full!...so i decided to go back and try it in my room...tadah!...still not working...so housemate and i went down for lunch, and i actually managed to sell my textbook!!! and at this moment, Faizan called me and told me that the enrolment is opened...so i quickly gave him my login details and we've enroled to the tute that we wanted to go! wooooooooot!!! HAIL FOR THE FREAKING 3 HOURS!!! wasted time in the comp lab! and here'e the lecturer's note: "My apologies i thought i had opened the tutes 15 min after the lectuer but for some reason they didnt. School administration have now realeased them. let me know if any problems..Gary"

well, after the lunch, i went back to my room and i was sooooo tired! seriously! woke up early for 3 days non stop, really flatten me! i was exhausted! man! this is really tiring...so i went for a nap...woke up at around 5 something, chat with housemates and ready to cook at 7.30pm with leo, zi and eric! so all the boys cooooook...
just yummylicious!!!
ok, Leo is trying to flip the pan lol...so today we had different dishes...since leo came and he cooked...chicken with rose wine, two dishes of vegetables and a plate of taiwanese sausages which are sooooooooooo tasty!! cant wait for another one!!! and we managed to swept everything out lol.
Oh yea, this is something i cant miss...our dessert!!! OMG!! this is omg tasty!!! MANTAO with CONDENSED MILK!!! i was like...shut up!!! this is soooooo tasty and sweet!
Fruits after that, and we played cards after the dessert...hahaha...i was like a noob when eric showed us how to play the game called 'BRIDGE'...im having 0% understanding of that game...and when he asked me to call a card...i was like...'what to call'? lol...I laughed like i never laugh before...leo cant stand my laughters and he laughed like crazy as well hahahahahahaha...shit, my face went red straightaway and i felt so hot!!!

well, we played until 12.30am and it's time to stop...coz eric has to go to uni tmr and we dont have classes tmr so we can sleep till late...10-11am? yea...and leo went back to his building and thats it...my day was pretty wonderful and i hope you guys had yours too!!!

tmr will be one exciting day...peaceout!!!

wednesdayyyy

gday people...
as normal, woke up, had my breakky and went to the 9am lecture at The Tank, and this was my first time having lecture at The Tank, was pretty good but ECHOES were annoying, that means you cant really talk during lecture...lecturer might shut your mouth up in no time lol (im just being sarcastic lol...dont think he will do that LOL)...and the funny thing was that when someone asked questions, he gave those students a free book, then we were like WTH! no joke! seriously! free book! so me and hsiao leng wanted to just ask a question but too late, last book was given to someone else...

well after the lecture, we rush to sign up for our tutorial again...sat there for 15mins...signed up a tutorial and went to the intl student office for my OSHC thingy and i went back to have my lunch with housemate again...

yea, rested until 2pm for another lecture, met a new friend, Matt and we've teamed up for our group assignment and presentation, that's on week 6...before the mid semester.

ok thats all about today's class...and i went back to my place. Cooked dinner with housemates as usual...today's dinner, teriyaki chicken, kangkung (yummmmmmmyyy!) and two plates of sausages...yea, 2 plates! and...finished!

went for laundry just now and there goes the 3 dollars...without drying! another 3 dollars for drying! and i met PokPong at the common area...talked for awhile and we went out for a walk...it was sooooo freaking cold out there! ppl! winter is back sooooonn!!!

ok, thats all for now...hope u guys have a good day tmr! early lecture again for tmr, so betta head to bed early today! so, see ya! :P

first lecture...2009

So today, woke up at 8am, but still pretty sleepy and went for anotha 15mins piggy time...woke up and straightaway went to brush my teeth and ate some bread before headin to uni with Eric...oh well, uni was just behind this building lol...

So i met up with Rory, oh man, long time never see him man...we talked all the way from the comp lab to the lecture hall...anotha same subject together this semester before he's going for an exchange to France.

Oh well, talking about my first lecture today in Uni, that was the Human Resource Management and Strategy (i think that's the correct name for the course lol...always confused me bout this haha). Lecture went pretty ok...well, was the first one, everyone came as usual, lecturer was a pretty lady...woooooot!!! i think she's Italian! Alessendra Capezio...she taught well and the lecture didn't reach boredom point...so far so good...and me and Rory, as usual...talked, crapped and yawned for almost 10times lol! so everyone did got influenced by that i think lol...

ok! after the lecture i went to meet up with Faizan, an exchange student from Scotland, we've decided to swap our subject as we dont want the night lecture from 6pm-9pm...and we've changed from Social Marketing to Marketing Research...hopefully this will be an easy one! and no more weirdo lecturer like the one from Social Marketing...lol he's funny.

yea, after the swapping, we went to validate our student ID card. The queue was soooooooooo long and we actually queued for 30mins for validation...so we're almost there, and i've asked Rory to join us to validate...and damn it! i cant get the transportation discount sticker because im not a local student and Faizan lied to that guy and got himself the sticker!!! WTH! as for Rory, HE GOT THAT BECAUSE HE'S SOOOOOO LOCAL! and im the only one without the sticker on my card...arghhh!!!

and here comes the hectic thing of the day! after validation, we went to the comp lab to sign up for our tutorial as you need to rush to sign up for it. If you're a snail, you wont get the tutorial time that you wanted...so we got a place and shit! no one in the comp lab and access to the page...as the whole uni is going into the page...NETWORK CONGESTION!!! we're tried for 30mins for login into the page but still failed...so we just left the room!

and i went back to my room and had lunch with housemates...and tried again...and well, after 2 hours...finally i can stuck myself into the page and sign up for me and rory...phew! there're still 2 more place left! how luckily are we.

Well, Adrian went to find me at 2 something and i accompanied him to the city to get some stationaries...got that, walked around, chit chat abit and we walked back as he has lecture at 4pm. So i was back to my room, and laimun online and ask me to on my webcam! and.....PUI MUN was there as well!!! omg! i was soo happy talking and showing silly faces to them! and i think they've print screened my silly faces! omg...will they do something to me? lol

Dinner, we've cooked 3 types of fried rice...yea, 3! i know that's alot but we actually manage to finish those LOL! it was sooo tasty...just irresistible! (hahaha that sounds like TWISTIES! lol)

After dinner, we went to the common room at ground floor for Foosball, pool and table tennis! wooooot! i won...yea, i've won! and i used 2 bats for table tennis hahaha, was so funny!!! well, it's already 11 something, so we went back up and i showered and here am i! sitting, writing what i've done today...i know this is pretty long but that means my day for today was actually went quite well!

still miss you guys out there!!!

here are some pictures i took when the sun set, it looked best from my room but the picture didnt showed much...it was really beautiful!

oh yea, i just noticed i have the biggest window in our unit...is really huge LOL, nice one! loved it! :)

the first day...first week...first semester

g'day peeps, how's it going today? hope you guys are doing well today.

so i woke up by a call from a friend, asking for an accompany with him for his enrollment in uni. Since i dont have lectures on, so i get prepared and walked to uni...since it was the first day of first week of the first semester...uni was like a market...full of people, newbies, continuing students, locals, international...friends...was so happy meeting them!

so the enrollment took us 2-3 hours to finish it...stage by stage...long queue, that was really crazy...
it gave me flashback of a year ago, the same enrollment process where my friend brought me to, queued, stages by stages...now was my turn to bring my friend to enroll...how fast time passed!

so after the enrolment, we went for lunch and then he drove me to university of canberra to find corrine...chit chatted for a while, went to city and back to my place...

Then i met up with LaiMun's bf, Adrian...my first time meeting him, a shy looking guy and pretty friendly...and talk so softly lol. I talked most of the time as he doesnt talk much unless i ask him questions which i did hahaha. Well then we met Atria, a new friend staying at Unilodge as well...new friend wooot! anotha newbies from Malaysia.

So that's it for today...so tomorrow is my first day having class...2 lectures for tomorrow, in between with accompany adrian to the city to get some stationaries...9am to 11am and 6pm to 9pm!! yea, is not a mistake, it is until 9pm! basically is like a 9am to 9pm outings...everyone was like...are you sure it's 9pm! YEA IT IS...crazy lecture with weird lecturer...

Anotha semester

hey hey...im starting to miss all of you in Malaysia...

another brand new semester will start tomorrow, the first week...means only lectures on.
dont know what to expect...what to see and who to meet...
since tmr is the first week and i do not have any lectures on monday so im free tmr!

basically my timetable was quite nice as i have thursday and friday off...
monday, there will only be a 2hrs workshop....tuesday, 2 lectures (morning & night...night = until 9pm!!! are u kidding me!) then maybe there'll be one or two tutorials on tuesday...Wednesday, lecture, seminar and tutorial...and thats it.

went for groceries shopping (for a week) today with zi and leo...spent almost $85 today! i was like...omg! as heaps of stuff had increased their prices...

so tmr, might go to uni for a walk and find my friends for drinks...

oh yea! talking about the internet here in UniLodge, it was crazily horribly expensive! they gave us $20...means 666.67mb...is MB...and was $20!!! means 3cents for 1mb...that was really crazy as i normally watch youtube vids...skype is another trouble one! ate up so many Mbs! 1 hour for 50-60mb...wth! and when it finished, u have to go down to the admin to recharge...if not, u cant go online...worse than getting capped!!! So i've signed up for a broadband that is a $39 for 6Gb per month...means $39 for 6000Mb!!! and uni...$20 for 666.677Mb...what a big different!!! really SIAO!

and thats it for now...hope to talk to you guys sooner or later or NOW! lol :)

leaving...reach Canberra

So yesterday was my last day in Malaysia, that means i will need to come back to Canberra for another new semester...i was soooooo not excited to come back for the new semester as i love my home so much...but i cant not to come back...i really hate this, going somewhere alone will never be great...

so we're at the airport waiting for my boarding time...and when it reaches the time, i really dont know what to do...just dont want to come back here. So now i need to go through the custom, before entering, i hugged my parents and my sister...really cant let go...i really miss them now...though i didnt cry but i feel sad and alone when i entered the custom...kept looking back to my parents to say goodbye...and then i passed the custom...


after that, on the way walking to the gate, i saw two familiar faces, oh my god!!! My uni friends (Shawn & Sheng Wei) are taking the same flight as well!!! i was a bit happy as i have accompanies, though 3 of us sat at different seats...

spending time on the flight was sooo difficult as it was 8 hours flight to Melbourne...tried to sleep but cant really sleep well...maybe slept for awhile...thing that help me get thru this hard time, my musics...i on it non-stop and when i woke up, it went off...battery dried out! luckily there're only 1+ hrs more to go...

well we've arrived at Melbourne airport...we have to go thru the custom again...and this time, they checked my luggage and took one of the herbal stuff my mom asked me to bring over...luckily there're 2 more packets!

so i went to check in my next flight to Canberra with QANTAS, as 3 of us are going with different flight...and different time. I'm the first, Sheng Wei's next and Shawn's the last one.

well, QANTAS flight was only 1hr+, and with a meal, how cool was that! after i finished eating, flight was ready to land, and i reached Canberra.

Housemate then picked me up from the airport and sent me back to Unilodge, my new accommodation!!! checked in, filled forms...and got my card! ok, went into the unit and went into my room, was pretty big and nice...modern and new! used up almost 1.5hrs to unpack everything...still a bit messy but it looked nice haha...oh yea, i have a very nice view from my big window...can see the huge Telstra Tower from my room!
here's a few pics of my place and my room...
4 bathrooms
the so-called LCD screen TV...must well just use ur lappy

now in my room waiting for my parents to skype coz i missed them sooooo much! cant wait cant wait...cant wait to go home too! nov-dec!!!

Airport

airport...is a happy place where we travel with families to another country
the happy and excited feeling...fun and fun!

airport, on the other hand, bring sadness to leavers and family and friends, where we going overseas to study...going alone...family and friends send you off at the...airport.
when u're leaving, on the way to the airport, sadness appear...that you're leaving alone and leaving your family...no ones gonna like this kind of feeling...saying goodbyes at the airport before entering...misses...loves...

now i started abit dislike going to airport as i will leave my family and back to the Oz to study...
flying alone really means nothing...sad!

going for traveling with family are something full of happiness...going to airport together, flying together but not alone...the feeling of excitement! just amazing...

now i wish to head to the airport...to go home...back to malaysia...back to family and friends.
