Full Blast Ahead

Rested quite a lot today. Rested as in did not touch my notes. Went out to buy groceries. Chinatown a.k.a Fortitude Valley. Had a little walk, there's not much to walk either.

Bought lots of meat. 1kg of pork shoulder and 2 kg of chicken drumstick. Enough to last me some time. Bought a bottle of 'Char Siew Sauce', so that i can make my own 'char siew' ;-), and a can of ''Yeo's'' wintermelon drink. Felt like in singapore ;-). Didn't have any can drinks since i left Singapore.

Had a bad experience with the butcher though... a Hongki. :( Was so polite to this ang mo before me...knn. When i wanted to buy some, it seems like i'm invisible to him... WTF?!

Back to studies, topped up my gas tank, hope it'll be more than enough to last me for next week!

Another day wasted

At home for the last urm... 30 odd hours? furthest i've gone is the kitchen. Haha... and i'm not a bit bored! incredible! managed to pull myself out of bed at 9.15. I kept my blinds opened so that i won't assume that it's still dark outside when the sun is already up and shining at around 6. Woke up about 7+ actually, but haha... i shall not say anymore.

1st take home exam, I've to collect it during tutorial on the 22nd, and hand it in before the 2nd Oct. got a cool 10 days to do it, and its worth 15%. Its a gift! die die must get it in my pocket.

Revise and revise, do my best and i'll be out of here in a flash!

Slacking off

Hmm... yea mate! end of week 7. timetable starts to slacken as 1 module has already been completed, which means i've got only 1 lecture which starts at 12pm and 1 tutorial right after that. thats the way University life should be?

Life over here is boring (for me) over here, but i kinda like the peace and quiet. Its relaxing! surrounding is quiet, even in the day, except for a kid who plays the trombone living above me, but he limits it to an hour or so.

September already, and i'm halfway though my 1st semester over here in UQ. semester ends in mid-november. Will certainly look forward to that 3 months of holiday. Gonna spend time travelling around the areas. and learn MORE about the aussie way of life. May eventually apply for PR?

Think i'm thinking about the future too soon. Studies comes 1st.

Cold Cold Thursday

Yes! winter has ended, but today, don't know what happened, the wind was strong? NO! very strong the whole day. Actually, i think the very strong winds starting last night. I was deep asleep when i was awaken by the ruffling of the leaves, thought it was raining, woke up to close the window, and went back to sleep. It didn't rain after all. The wind was so strong that it almost swept me off the ground. Keyword is me :)
