♥ What a day!
Sorry for the long absence...have been really really busy lately..of course with assignments. Everyday without fail there would be assignments given. LOL...yeah this is life.
I cant believe tmr is friday and 2nd week is coming to an end..which means 28 more weeks to midterm..Yikes!!
The teaching here is quite different i would say. Much different frm back home..specially biology and chemistry class. For biology the tutor thoroughly tought us how to use the microscope..Uhuh..chapter 1. How to handle and use the microscope properly. =P almost the same as the one in IS..but i never knew the first step was to lower the condenser lense approx 1/3 below the stage..oh n adjust the tube wif low power..then high power..all i remember what i did in IS is..straight away switch to high power n locate the cell or whatever. hahahahaha..=P
Another amazing thing is the microscope can be connected to the tv..so the TV sort of act like an eye piece..u could clearly see the specimen..n the good thing is you dont hav to strain ur eyes. LOL..The teacher took a few specimen..i mean bought a few specimen the other day for us to see the cells and Unicellular cells. she bought a bunch of pond weed cost $10, two small tiny bottle of umm greenish fluid..another one is dirt i think..mix wif water..cost bout $8!haahahah..there is actually living things in there..that we cant see with our naked eye! LOL. i m sure u kno wat it is...starts wif the letter B _ _ _ _ _ _ _ !!
We got to see cute tiny winy little miny euglena which looked like worms frm far...oh and paramecium too!! Everyone in class was like "awww..they r so cute...euuuu..n awww here n there" =.=
Some of the euglena were sort of changing shapes..like elongate or turn to round shapes n elongate again..and some were spinning around..like hip hop dancers..for no reason..well there might be a reason for it but i dunno. LOL..
We saw a few paramecium mating too..muahahah..sexual reproduction. Umm wat else, 3 paramecium dying..this 3 particular paramecium werent moving at all and dont look healthy..manage to witnessed their last breath..haha..the cell membrane somewhat burst so the cytoplasm was oozing out..and so the paramecium went to heaven..rest in peace. hehe.
It was interesting. There are only 3 foundation students in my bio class..me n two hongkong boys..the rest are aussie students..ahh..so lonely.
As for chemistry, we learnt experimental skills..and did titration the other day. LoL again.
Oh when conducting practicals we need to wear lab coats! cool..cool..practicals are done in pairs..so yeah each one does a diff procedure. haha.
My tutor was asking me and other international students about anything diff with the apparatus or how the experiment was conducted back home. Almost similar i would say accept for the apparatus..like they actually hav a special instrument that is use to insert solutions into the pipet..more accurate n efficient..i forgot wat it is called..it looks like a syringe. Another difference is the distilled water bottle..the tip of the bottle is so short..i still prefer the one in IS. Um what else..oh when we fill solutions into the burret..u hav to put a small funnel on top so its easier to fill the solution in. =)
Yeah the rest of the subject is quite ok..hmmm..everyone in my english class doesnt like the english tutor,..for some reason. She is quite strict..sometimes she looked stuck up. =P Just like d other day, almost the whole class didnt complete their homework..actually they didnt write down the answers on to a piece of paper..instead they scribble on the paper. I did my job. LOL..so yeah the tutor was quite mad..and scolded some students saying "this is rubbish"..so some of them got really offended. I m immune to this situation ady..lol..after one year experience with miss Beatrice. My english teacher is much much better than miss Beatrice tho.
Today is my worst day of all....speaking of which its only the 2nd week of school. I was late for class..for the very first time in my life..i have to run to school. LOL
My maths class starts at 8.35am , my alarm clock (hp) rang at 7.00am..and i went back to sleep thinking the alarm will ring again..(snooze)...when i woke up i looked at the clock an its already 8.25am!!! I blink my eyes a few times and said ..." ohhhh S***T I M LATE FOR CLASSS!!! arGGGGGGhhhhHHHHHhhh....!
I jumped out of my bed..washed my face..dress up and ran for my life. I had no other choice..it takes me 15mins to reach school..by walking..so i roughly thought i would reach school by 8.50am..>.< ....frm that moment i hav this thought of asking someone to giv me a ride. LOL..hahaha...i Ran instead..Run as fast as i could...when i finally got to school it was already 8.40am..hey..5 mins late...not too bad. ahahah..mean by running it takes me 10mins to reach school..LOL..Pheww*.....this is my worstnightmare ever. As soon as i knock on the door..everyone 's eyes were like eyeing at me..n the tutor was teaching someone at that time..so i went over an appologize..i wasnt able to think straight but to go to my sit n sit down.."i woke up late" was my reason for being late. =( Luckily the tutor hasnt started teaching anything yet!!............ah..............so embarrasing.......................hopefully it doesnt happen again in the future.
There is always a time where u will meet people who doesnt look right..as in..the brain. =P There was this old man i think in his 60s...i was buying something frm the supermarket..and suddenly he sort of talk to me..i think to himself he looked so ragged...i quickly walk off..and went to the counter right away to pay my stuff..n suddenly he was behind me again..talking..mumbling ..ahhhh..so near me. I quickly walk off!!!!!! On my way home..there is another man standing by the walkway...hmm looks suspecious..one asian guy was in front of me..when he passed by the man..the man asked him whether he could giv him $2...so he asked the same thing when i passed by...n i shake my head.."no"....n increase my walking speed. LOL..T_T weirdos...freaky weirdos...........eeekkkksss.
Cant believe Kylie and Chien Yen is in Adelaide ady..LOL...hahah time flies...and Chien Yen is just staying nearby my place!! Nice.
Tats if for now..bed time.
