oh my....cant believe i would have to undergo Cervical Cancer Vaccination a.k.a (Human Papilloma Virus) HPV vaccination!!! 3 shots all together. 1st shot would be given on May, 2nd shot - June, 3rd shot- September! Eeekkss..anyway the vaccination is funded by the Australian Government and according to my tutor one shot cost about A$300+ ! @_@" It is not compulsory and its our own choice whether we want to receive the vaccination or not. Since its free...i think i will go for it... for my own good.
Todays weather is so cold....maximum temperature 20 degrees. Tomorrow's max temperature 21 degrees!! Lets just hope that it doesnt rain.

♥ Hello!!
Wuhuu! I havent been blogging for ages! hahaha...life is getting more and more hetic! Anyways cant believe end of march is coming soon and here comes April ! Plus EASTER HOLS IS AROUND THE CORNER! yeehaa!!
oh my i had lots to say but i just dont know where to begin. Since i came here my life seems to be more active, probably because my new group of friends are active , outgoing and sporty. lol. Anyways last friday i had my "clear,thinking and logic" test. This subject is somewhat like philosophy..talks about the definition of argument, statements,premises...etc. How to identify whether a statement is valid or invalid. Basically its a boring and complicated subject. I just dont understand why we need to study this subject and speaking of "logic"..nothing makes sense..HAHA. While we were having our test..the fire alarm went off! Everyone started to look around then the my tutor Chris said "ahhh...dont bother bout it , it will go off soon" ..then everyone continued answering the test. True enough the alarm stop ringing. Within few seconds the alarm went off again and this time another tutor Simon came running to our class. He said "Everyone packed your things and evacuate the building now!!" ..then he told Chris.."Chris you should asked the students to evacuate...the fire alarm went off"...lol. Everyone started to rush..some even asked Chris "what about our test??" .."we havent finished answering all the questions"...Chris answered.."Just hand in your answer sheet and go!! we will deal with this later"..he repeat this sentence for a number of times. Gosh...isnt it wise to just forget about the test for one second and save your life first?? LOL
SO all of us evacuate the building through the emergency exit..Outside the building everyone started to discuss about the test...hahaha....the fire alarm continued to ring for about 10minutes then it stopped. All of us went back in..and continued with our test. I bet someone must have smoked in the building that triggers the fire alarm. Phewww what a day.
On saturday i went swimming with my friends at the Adelaide Aquatic Centre! They have a big swimming pool, children's pool, Sauna and Spas! haha..ohh i just love the spa.
Yesterday -tuesday- i had an excursion for my australian studies subject. We are now doing a topic on the 3 levels of government in australia that is federal,local and state. Heh....by the sound of it.....B O R I N G......but the excursion was enjoyable! We went to the Australian Electoral Commission building, took us about 20minutes to get there by brisk walking from the college. ahahaha. We were given a talk on how the election system in australia works, how a representative is elected and also the procedure. interesting but complicated. You are eligible to vote once you are 18 with condition you must be an australian! and it is compulsory to vote. We were thought on how to fill the ballot papers as well..like number your choices eg:1 -5 ...thick and crosses or circles are unacceptable...lol. So at the end of the excursion we did a short activity on how voting is done during election day. Since we dont really know some "important person" in australia...we were given food category! lol...vote for pizza,salad rolls, fish and chips or hamburgers? ur choice and number it based on your choice 1-4! haha.. Fish and chips received the highest vote. It was fun and educational.
My next excursion would be this coming friday for biology! Gonna do an experiment on gene technology! One benefit of having an excursion is you learn more outside the class and at the same time have fun instead of just learning in class all day long. Our home country should impliment this in the education system..that would make learning more fun..hahahahaahahah..
Alrites gotta go now....till then...
my my..the weather is starting to get colder...grrrrrr...and i hate it when it rains!
ciou!~

♥ Phewwww*****
I am so relief...two hetic days has just passed. Had my presentation yesterday, boy oh boy was i nervous hahaha and surprisingly the entire class was! HAHAAHAHAHA. We are being required to present our topic using the overhead..um where u place ur transparency paper on it. I thought it was going to be hard because i never used the overhead thing in my life before. It wasnt that difficult after all. I was the second last person to present..due to my first name (surname) that starts with the letter "Y"..so yeah...
Our time limit was 4mins and to be honest..4mins is just not enough for me. Btw, i presented a topic on "home remedies"...natural ingredients that has healing powers..like lemon,ginger, chamomile tea...etc.. I practiced several times infront of the mirror the night before..using my mobile phone to time myself as well..no matter how fast i speak..i went over 4mins. The time limit was the only thing bothering my mind..and making me more tense.
When my classmates presented their topic..i can tell most of them were nervous..hahahaha..could see their hands trembling...specially on the overhead projector..lol! U can tell that they are nervous frm their voice...trembling voice....hands.....some even laugh to themselves half way through the presentation...one of them did lots of action...hahaha..funny funny.
Some presented interesting topics too..like the "metro ticket"..a.k.a bus ,train or tram ticket. wat else..plant and animal cells, psychology, podiatry, experiments...many many more...overall it was good. I think i spoke for more than 4mins...i didnt even hear the time keeper hitting the table..to tell me that its ady 4mins. =.=
I had my chemistry test today as well...Hmmm..i had no comments.
After we had our test..we did a short experiment on paper chromatography..using "smarties" !! hahah ate smarties at the same time too! the purpose of this experiment is to identify the colour use in the smarties..see which colour moves faster. We used a capilary...a very fine tube..acts somewhat like a pipette..u hav to heat it first..apply abit of strength by pulling it untill it breaks into half..then break off the tip..and wala ur pippete is ready!..haha. We need to use the capilary to add small drops of colour solution of the smarities on to the paper. Interesting! i did..purple, blue and red colour..n blue colour was the fastest one to move!
The weather here is starting to get cold. For the pass few days it has been quite cold..min 24degrees..specially the wind. Its goin to be hot again this coming friday and saturday! probably the last shot of heat as a sign it is the end of summer! hahahaa
So glad that next monday is a public holiday..they called it.."adelaide cup day"..horse racing day..hm..hm..Anyway..looking forward to the long weekend!!!!
Tats it for now..better get back to my homework.
