ORIENTATION WAS FUN!!!

Yeap. Orientation was a blast! Lots of new friends! Did lots of great activities, silly stuffs and more on games and stuffs like that. Timeline for the photos are screwed up. Just look up for the captions above each photos. =) There's a video at the bottom too!!

This is taken after the fireworks on Aussie Day. I find the hat is rather unique!!

Koala on the left and the Tasmanian Devil on the right

And more animals. They're in Caversham Wildlife Park. A must to visit!

This is the dance group that I'm in. Yet, I still don't know what is Bush Dance. I just somehow danced some traditional dances. That's it!

It's where I stayed from the 20th Jan - 25th Jan. Just one of the units =)

Just got a news that my brother, Dev had somehow escaped from NS, and got a place in UNITEN, Malaysia to do Accelerated Japanese Language! And if he succeeds, he'll be offered scholarship to study in JAPAN! Dream came true huh bro! Good luck in your endeavours! =) Above everything else, I'm good and is kinda anxious for college to start on 2nd of Feb! Wish me luck! Take care people!! Nights!! The video is above 100 MB. Sorry people!!

DAMN!! IT'S BURNING!! =(

Sunday>

Yeap!! And it's scorching here! Today's 42 degrees max! which is from mid day till late evening. Played badminton in a community centre. Everything's awesome except for the scorching weather and burning temperature! But, it's good to endure it once awhile ( Once is enough! Isn't it? xD). Met some of the badminton mates. Very friendly indeed.

Monday>

Today's temperature isn't that appealing as well. 41 degrees can really 'cook' anyone. My head was really spinning in the afternoon when the temperature was at max (41 degrees), Gotta take a short nap, ended up sleeping for hours. =( More packing today for my orientation. Not sure what else should I bring along. And how much should I bring along. Too much will result in bringing a HUGE luggage bag and make myself look like a fool. Anyhow, will leave the decision making for tomorrow where the forecast temperature is much lower, 35 degrees. Hopefully, no more SPINNING MY HEAD RIGHT ROUND!! =)

Took some pictures, not much actually.

iMac in black and white scheme. It looked kinda cool to me though. =)

My iMac in coloured scheme.

This application is awesome. Google Earth!! Way better than Google Map! Well equipped with weather & temperature forecast, rooftop viewing, route mapping, distance between 2 locations and the time taken to travel between 2 locations.

And as promised, the picture of the lobsters!! Yummy!!! It tasted amazingly fresh.

That's all for this blog post. Getting very lethargic now due to the excessive heat exposure! xP

Nights people!! And wish me luck for my orientation! First impression is very very important! =) Take care and wishing all my friends, the best of luck! xD

GETTING USED TO HERE!!

Woke up kinda late this morning. About 10 or so, cause I slept fairly 'early' yesterday. xD

Washed the car, waxed it as well. Cooked a dish for lunch as well. It's just scoured broccolis and carrot. It was rather uncooked though. But I find it just nice. Hey, 'one man's meat is another man's poison'. RIGHT? I added some chilli sauce to it, and it tastes very thai style!! =)

Not much photos taken today. Just one!!

It isn't a good picture (taken from inside a moving car. Bare with it!) The building behind the trees is the newly built Chemical engineering faculty in Curtin University. Completely sponsored by British Petroleum(BP), (everything is paid by them) Looks cool eh!! Kinda interesting though!

Anyhow, I checked the Curtin Uni's website. And the availability courses for engineering is darn large. Then I looked under Physics field. Nanotechnology is in it! Sounds very tempting! Then again, I was quite fond with the Nuclear Physics course. Unfortunately, there aren't any available in Curtin. I Goggled it and so far found two Uni that provides it. One is University of Sydney and the other is in Canberra. Too far!! Nvm, it's just what I find interesting to me so far! Might change my plans in the coming future!.

Then again, I'm wishing a very Happy Advanced 18th Birthday to Angie Cheah, my pet sister!

P.S. You owe me hugs!! =)

Above everything else, I'm gonna hit the sack soon. 5th night in Perth. Kinda tired now, went out to shop for groceries in Swansea St. Fresh Market again! Bought lots of veges and fruits. Then, played basketball with my bro at about 7.30p.m. Shoot some hoops and learned some new tricks, more advices to be precise. Brisk walked there and full jog back home (15 mins). Legs are freaking heavy now! Well, night peeps!!

FIFTH DAY IN AUSSIE!!

Damn, it's just awesome! Everything is just too good to be true here (so far). Lots of shopping!! And more shopping!! more on household appliances. Yesterday is rather hot and dry during the evening! My throat is rather dry now even though I'm consuming much more water. Had many kinds of food! Lots of new delicacies =) Tried fish n' chips, and the chips are darn awesome!! xD And fruits and vege, just gotta witness with your own eyes!! Here are some pics of my shopping spree and eating as well. =)

The best bubble-tea I've ever tasted! Original bubble tea with milk and sago. Awesome!

These are all chocolates>>>

Err!!.. No thanks! =P

Cow's tongue. It's a delicacy in Korea (I heard). I'll pass!!!

Fresh fruits and vegetables in Swansea Fresh Market.








Well, I think that's all for this post. I won't be able to post anything from 20-25th Jan! Got orientation for college at Trinity. Today's Huei Xiang's birthday, my buddy since Standard One. Happy 18th Birthday! Have a blast =D Goodnight people!! My life in Aussie gets more interesting as every moment passes by! Take care peeps!! Nights!! Cheers mate!! x)

HI PERTH!! BYE MALAYSIA!!

Woke up at 5am, ran some apps on my PC to wet it up for my parents to use. Then, breakfast and showered. Loaded stuffs into the car..then left at exactly 7am. Reached the airport about 7.30am. Rearranged some stuffs, and checked-in. Somehow, my sister and her boyfriend got upgraded to business class from economy class due to excessive e-ticketing on economy class. I was stuck in Economy class though. Nvm, met a fairly nice asian lady from Perth (lol) somewhere about my age named Jess. We got the front isle sit, but then got requested to sit at the back window sits cause the couple was carrying a newborn baby, so yeah. Good Samaritans we were =)

Somehow, there are quite a number of air crew sitting in the isle sits next to us. But there off duty. They were passengers at that time. Some of the air stewardess were quite good looking though. =D. One of them reminded me of Zhi Yuin, large eyes and broad yet pleasant smile. xD

Landed at about 5 mins to 3pm. Arrived my sisters place at almost 4. Not sleepy, but kinda right now. This are some of the pics during the flight, after, before, and now!

This is how I multitask now. 1 laptop, but with double screens. Can drag anything across each other. Blog and facebook on the right, msn chatting on the left.

My flight ticket!!

My flight gate is G8, and it's straight ahead.

And there it is, G8.

And this is the picture take in AC, a few days before I left, went pool-ing with Kel.

This is what happens when I feel like I never left the country before

That's all for this post. Will further update on myself. Gonna create a bank account and a student verification age tomorrow. Nights people!!

GOODBYE IN 12 HOURS TIME!

Well, my flight tomorrow to Perth, Aussie is 9.40 am. Will be leaving home by 7 in the morning. Should be awake by 5.30am to get ready!! This would be my last post before I depart and leave Malaysia. Sorry for the absence of pictures that I've promised, I'm currently using my PC, which means I have no bluetooth access to transfer the pics. Anyhow, this blog post should be my Goodbye message to all my friends, brothers, and pet sisters. Family> I'll wish them as soon I reach the airport. Good luck & all the best to all of you!! I've already began to miss you all!! I shall pull through it with all the moral supports! =)
Darn!! Time really does flies!! =( Anyhow, Goodbye again!!

This is my brother, Dev, who got chosen for National Service. Nice hair cut though!!. Just sent him off just now!! It'll be a 3 months programme, but 2 years for us to meet up, cause I'm leaving Malaysia to Perth, Aussie for studies soon. Till we meet again my brother.

I'll be making another blog post on everything happened from the day SPM over to my trip to Penang. Above everything else, I just wanna wish those who got chosen for NS, especially Dev, Jeng Foong, Lee Jin who are in the 1st batch of NS, good luck and take good care of yourself. All the best, we'll definitely meet up in 2 years time. As I've said, it's not a promise, it's a MUST!. To all my other friends that I couldn't meet up during this holidays, I just wanna say how disappointed I am towards myself for not being able to spare some time with all of you! Sorry again! We'll meet up one day, hopefully it'll be when I come back for my holidays in 2 years time. But, you guys can meet me up if you do drop by Perth, Aussie. =)
