Wooo...finally back to Uni..sigh. Trying to finish up this rural group assignment on Indigenous physical health. Suppose to make a power point presentation and post it via the blackboard system. sounds kinda ridiculous to do a power point...cuz u cant add too many words..but we can add short notes in between. Good thing we dont have to present it verbally! HEHEHE. Ahh im not looking forward to the next assignment for this elective sub..2000word essay focusing on current rural issues..have to pick one current issues..i need some ideas man! There is another assignment due on the same day, case study report i think....Crap..just nice. I had a great weekend with two of my friends from Adelaide. Brought them around Melbourne through..literally went from North to South..then East & West of Melb..ahahah. Went to a mini theme park as well at St Kilda (south Melb). Intially, i just wanted to take them to the beach and the cake shops

Mmmmm.....mouth watering cakes but ended spending 3hours at the theme park, we bought unlimited ride tickets...so u can imagine the no. of times we went on every rides...roller coaster, ferris wheel, 360 degrees turn thingy, swingging dragon boat, ghost train, 3D frightening effect rooms, Bumper car..!! HAHA..first time in 21 years i finally drove a bumper car myself LOL...what a joke...when i was young, mom & dad would always bring us to centre point and there is this place u can play bumper cars..so bro will be the driver and i just sit next to him and watch being hit. Its fun! Funny thing is, at the theme park its called bumper car but we are not allow to bump into others..how pathetic..but it depends on whether u can handle it, the bump starts when those who cant crontrol the car bumps on you! Have serious neck & shoulder pains after that..including the roller coaster rides..geez oh and bad headache!
Luna Park Sadly i lost one of my earings, probably dropped it somewhere in the themepark! Sobs* It was one of my fav new pair of earings bought from KK. Sigh earings running away from me recently..or is it my carelessness of not putting my valuable items properly. I lost another pair of earings..one of it..sigh..a b'day gift given by a close friend. SIGH. Ahhh it was good fun...good way to release some tension! On Sunday, i brought my friends to Sovereign Hill in Ballarat a small town used to be a Gold mining place..my 3rd trip there..wooh..but we had alot of fun. Had an experience on riding on a coach for the first time, joined Gold rush tour...went underground via a mini train (somewhat like rollercoasters)..spent 45minutes underground. They gave a demonstration on how miners worked, tools used,..they have this big massive drill..the tour guide turned it on for 5 secs but asked us to cover our ears before that..its really loud! Imagine working underground for days, weeks & months with no proper ventilation, dusty air, constant bending and exposure to loud drilling noise..i wud have died within 24hours. There were plenty more places to visit..it may look small but there is alot to see! Overall it was good fun..recommended for those who want to visit the state of Victoria ;) i can be ur mini tour guide..heehehe. Some pics of Sovereign Hill
Handsome..charming soldiers? LOL
