Just got back from the state library not long ago. When me and my friend got out from the state library it was drizzling...and when i look up into the sky...this is what i saw!!!!!
Beautiful magnificent R A I N B O W ! ! ! ! ....complete shape!! Hardly see a complete rainbow!! Amazing~
Drop by Woolworths to get myself some lozenges, my throat has been itchy since yesterday. Started with a mild flu and i felt much better on wednesday, untill i had Hungry Jacks for dinner and the next day i had a sore throat.. =( Now i m coughing like mad. Alot of people are not feeling well, guess its because of the weather...dunno what virus winter carries.
Hehehe...besides i spoted something displayed next to the counter " Special 99cents" and tada this is what i bought :
Kinder Bueno chocolate for 99cents each.. not too bad.
Something came across my mind and till today i still dunno how to answer the question. This week my Australian Studies tutor asked everyone a question, "You have been here for several months already, do you think you fit into this society?" Hmmm....some said yes and some were unsure. Its hard to say, i would probably say 50 50...some said they think its hard to fit in because of the language barrier. Language is not a problem for me, yeah...people here are friendly and i m starting to get used to the "friendliness" environment...maybe i hadnt experience something that gives you a big impact like racism. Oh wait, i did experience once but it was another person of the same skin colour except i think the girl is aussie born (ABC)..she was nasty, it happened few months ago, me and my friend were ordering our lunches in Hungry Jacks..she was serving us, with this arrogant, unfriendly look and lots of unplesant facial expression specially the eyes..grrr..just because we are international students or asians. After ordering, i asked for some tomato ketchup and she just threw the tomato ketchup sachets on our trays..how rude is that?? Me and my friend were really pissed. When she served the ang mo's it was totally opposite..smily face..and that innocent look..yeah rite. could have told her off..lol..anyways it was long time ago.
I think in order to answer that question, i would probably need to stay more longer in australia and probably gain some working experience..then lets see if i could fit into the society!!
Alrites better stop here...tests...tests and assignments...arggghhhh.....
gonna go gaga soon..like this :

Hi there...
finally i could spare abit of time blogging..i have been really really busy lately. Been catching up with assignments and yes...assignments. This week is week9 of 2nd term and next week would be the 10th week, the final week for 2nd term and next then comes 2nd term break..two weeks..hurray! Maybe its the opposite of "hurray"..boohoo...why? because after hols its mid term exams! Geez of all time...shouldnt holiday be a time for us to relax?! Not for me tho..its revision time...sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Next week is not a nice week either, i have 3 tests and 1 presentation to go..one 1000 words essay due too..Oh my... Life has really been interesting with assignments..it just drives u nuts. Alrite lets put the assignment thing aside. Besides assignments....lots of things happen within a month...like the weather changes..it was really cold last week specially at night and early in the morning,..everynite i will just switch on the heater..for like say 15minutes then switch it off..and on and off again..LOL. Anyways, this week at least its not as cold as last week..cuz of the rain i think. HEavy downpour today..and i hate it. I spoilt my first and 2nd umbrella..1st umbrella is still usable but the 2nd umbrella went into the bin already...blame the strong wind. So thats about the weather....
Appart from that, there are other interesting things too!..LOL. couple of ups and downs. Maybe i should mention the "down" part first. Few weeks ago, i had a small conflict with my hometown friend. Well its not really a huge conflict..just a small matter that has become enourmous..till it somewhat affects the friendship. Its a long complicated story. In short, whatever situation that goes around a group of friends..just be more careful to keep a "secret"....or maybe dont let "anything that is meant to be kept quiet" to leak out into another person's/ that person's ear....because it will just screw up the whole situation. I have done my part, appologize in a way, telling her not to be angry...but it didnt work. Sometimes i just feel like i m being too honest..i just dont know why, when i feel like the situation cannot be hide i just tell the truth...is that a silly thing to do?? Some of my friends said that ..i m not good at lying or i cant lie...LOL!! sigh. Since that day, her ignorance..and how she acted so cool infront of me really irritates me alot...gosh.
I just realise when u come to a foreign place and u are far away from home, friends play an important part in ur life..but its really depressing when problems like this arises..it can be very upsetting. So it is vital to make more friends because you wouldnt lose anything when you lost one with such attitude. At least now that everything has got back to normal...since that night..one of my friend called us out for dinner in conjuction of celebrating "dumpling (ko chung) festival"..well in fact the reason behind it is to get me and her back together. Yeah no doubt it work, but i just felt something weird..till today...since that incident..i just felt that she is not the same as before..maybe i m wrong..but we are not as close as we use to be last few months. Hmmm i wonder what has gone wrong. Why should i care so much when she doesnt. How could a person easily let go a problem..or how could a person be so ignorant. Ah well, i think its best to forget what just happen and try to get things back where it used to be. I miss my close friends back home...........
Went clubbing for the first time in my life last saturday. whoooaa..what a crazy night i had. The club is called "Church"..i think its called church cuz adelaide is also known as the city of churches during the early days. So my friend Trish (frm Penang) arrived at my place at around 9pm and she helped me with the make up! =D After all the make over we walked to Rundell Mall which is in the city centre..about 15-20mins walk from my place..it was so cold outside..till i couldnt feel my legs..lol..wore heals too which makes it harder to walk..haha. We meet up with Emma (another friend who comes from Dubai) and Simon (from Msia). Headed to the club, and there is a person standing at the entrance who checks your identity card. We have to bring our passport to prove to them that we have reach the legal age. hehe..abit troublesome to bring a precious thing out..cuz if u lose ur passport..the whole world will turn upside down. My friend Emma forgotten to bring her passport out..eventho she showed her student card, it was unacceptable..me and Trish were stunned for one moment thinking of what to do next. Without her passport she cant enter...so the only solution is to take a cab to her house and get her passport. It was 11.20pm that time..and we have 40 more minutes before midnight..cuz entrance is FREE before 12midnight so we have to hurry up..the taxi driver was kind enough to speed up..lol..knowing that he doesnt go over the speed limit. The que was long by the time we reached the club..luckily we were on time. The club was filled with youngters, mostly aussies.. only a few asians including us. We went to the RnB section, everyone was dancing, shaking their booties..hahaha...me and my friends bought ourselves a drink and then headed towards the dance floor. Oh my...i dont even know how to dance!!!! Just dance like how others did..lol...and dance along with the music..yeahhh. Overall it was fun, good exercise too! We were there till 2.30am. There were still lots of people in the club...more interesting people outside the club. Hungry Jacks was open for 24hours and i think they are making alot of money too! Lots of people having their early breakfast or shall i say supper after the alcohol effect. It was exciting indeed..but have to be really careful with your surroundings, dont get drunk plus hold on to your handbag at all times.
Some pics:
...equipments....
Trish and I..all set to go
Trish, Me and Emma
Us at Church.. Simon,Me,Trish,Emma and Azid
After clubbing look.....
Cleaned my room last weekend too, another round of inspection was conducted on tues..swept and wiped the floor, cleaned every single angle of the washroom, rearrange my clothings in the wardrobe..yeah..my room easily collects dusts..and its very annoying.
Small CUBICLE room
Did a bit of decoration for my wall..cuz it look so empty. Only brought this few sticker pics with me all the way from KK, It was kept in the drawer untill i decided to make this so i can look at it everyday! Should have brought more picture.
Random shots... Yeah thats how winter looks like here...trees...getting bald...lol
Alrite thats it for now..gotta catch up with my studies..till then!!~

Thousand appology for the long absence...
Life has been really hetic and there is no time to lose in this 2nd term. Without fail everyweek is occupied with assignments and tests. This 2nd term is not an enjoyable term at all, everyone is stress, tired..tension..anxiety..all the mixture of feelings a normal student would have. LOL.
Anyways, the weather has changed, the fashion has changed too..instead thongs and short pants now its boots, jackets and scarf...so its obvious that winter is here already. It has been raining for the pass few days, today was sunny but it drizzled again in the evening. Current temperature now is 10.2 degrees...grrrr...freezing cold. I just hate it when it rains...the weather is gloomy and especially if the wind is strong its advisible not to use your umbrella or maybe make sure your umbrella is the "good" quality type and can withstand strong wind. I bought a small umbrella that cost me $6+ from chinatown thinking that it would be better than the $3 umbrella frm the reject shop..instead after using the umbrella twice..it went straight into the bin. Damn....This time i m gonna get one that might cost bout $10 (-_-'''')...frm Targets maybe...that is small, long lasting and can at least withstand strong wind(i wonder). I guess the big umbrella is the best..but its too troublesome to carry around to school everyday. The min temperature for tmr would be 8degrees and max :16 degrees...WAH....
Its quite fascinating when you see air (somewhat like smoke) coming out from your mouth when u breath..LOL...(sound so sakai)......haha....
It would be great to have a bowl hot soup right now...lol...especially when it is cold!!!! i miss my mom's cooking. *SOBS* Finally bought my study table lamp from IKEA....makes life less torturing and i dont have to strain my eyes.!!!!!
Mm..taken this pic last month...it was raining on that day and the clouds look odd...lol.
just took this pic for fun....it was really cold that nite.......
Alright better get back to my assignments now...........have to write an essay on Aboriginal people, Globalisation and my new biology human awareness essay which is about therapeutic cloning...........urgh.................
Can i have a break. its never ending.......
