o week is over!

finally its has ended..after hesitating fr so looooong, i've decided to buy the MSA culture card only on the last day of o week *bcoz its expensiv*..& from then, i just signed up for any clubs & societies tht has FREE membership to the culture card holders, except fr biomed, i still got to pay another $5..sigh..

societies tht i've joined :
- MSA
- biomed
- SIFE *some charity organisation i guess*
- Chinese society
- motorcar * i just want the free gifts actually >.< *
- student life *some christian thingy*

# thought of joining MUMSU society (aka the msian club) as well
# mayb MUISS fr international students

i'll go for those activities or any sorts of gatherings if i have time..

to build my network of frens in aus..lol..its just in monash btw..

& fr the pass few days, it seems like i've joined or signed up fr activities organised by christian clubs..ystd ard lunch time i also went fr student life's activities..& fr there, i get to know few new frens fr biomed as well:D & some other seniors too..
there r more coming up actually..
later on's bbq lunch at campus which is also organised by CF group, & the $$ tht they've collected will go straight to the bushfire victims..so wht say u? of coz im in~

so after thinking twice, i will make use of my culture card & join even more activities, nevertheless, i will join BUDDHIST society as well..each time as i passed by the club's booth, it seems quite pathetic as no1 even realised the existance of tht booth?!..or mayb the buddhist community is just small over here in monash? ITS OK..i will still give myself a chance for it..hehe

p/s : i just joined whteva societies tht's free, doesnt mean im really that active..LOL

2nd weekend + o week

Hello to my long lost blog, nt really long, but it is.. if were to compare wif the frequency when im in msia..mayb here i dun hang out wif frens tht often? or mayb i shud say i dun take so much pics here >.<
& i went to chadstone once again durin sat, since i got ntg much to do..i know u may think im dam weird to NOT VISIT THE MELB CITY even i've been here fr 2 weeks..oh well, i will just leave it to weekends, since there is weekend saver ticket..
*parsimonious*
& almost every1 in the hse had their haircut..ok i noe im nt supposed to cut bt oh well..
1 of my hsemate sam went to fetch the hairstylist back, so the hse has transformed to a saloon..& every1 just take turn to hav their hair cut..
dinner 2gether wif them & watched spiderman2..lol
sun morning, alvin fetched me to buy printer..mel followed along & gave some opinions..
but i would said, all my hse mates r just awesome ppl..
...like you? hehe
evening,
i followed bernice to the church..haha u all will surely think y do i actually go there..just follow along & understand their culture better? to know more frens?
since nat & bernice r the committee there..& after their events, i just followed a group of them fr dinner at glen waverly..
& there is how i noe this gal better..
stayed in the same hse previously but shifted out edi..piano experts seriously, used to study biomed bt switched to nursing after tht, & gona pass me some of her books :D
but the thing is, she jokes dam a lot, & i call her...DAI GA JE..
*tho jun is my dai je as well*
orientation is the nex day, which is mon..the very first thing they did was, provide us wif breakfast, & since its free..the Q is dam long..in the pic is mayb 20% of the Q only..
& it forms a semicircle

but i would say, i gain lots of info, but its boring!! managed to make some new frens, but..
nt satisfied?!
tues went to the library, & i actually signed up fr some 1hr lesson to learn how to use the library=.= sounds stupid yea..but if i dun learn, i'll b lost..
after learning how to use the comp & those pin code, so i went round the library to search for some bio books tht i might b using..& end up there r so many kinds of bio books, just the matter of version, edition, author, year...the booklist tht the uni provides r like, easily 4-5 books fr 1 subj..2 prescribed ones, another 2 highly recommended, & another 2 recommended..so which 1 shall i buy? i cant b buying every single book rite..the only thing is to..WAIT -.- wait fr my lecturers to "final recommend" the particular book..

it may seems to be many books of the same version, but i believe once the course starts, there wont be any books left on the shelve..the actual no of bio books r just, uncountable..those above r just 1 of the subj im taking in my FIRST sem..

& fr 2day, there is another talk again, & once again, its boring..just need to sit down & listen to the person infront who does the talking..

this drink booth gives out free drinks..wht we need to do is just to drop smthing fr top & let it roll down to 1 of the column below..if u r lucky enuf then u can get some free gifts..

i haven really signed up fr any clubs yet..coz the membership fees r quite pricey..but i've enrolled in some of those individual prog which held in the campus itself tho..plus 1 weekend day trip :D

p/s : got to think of wht to cook now ~

transition prog

monash held a transition prog fr all the biomed students..& during the enrolment the day b4, there's only ard 30 students attended, so i tot thts all we hav fr the entire course, seems to be a bit pathetic, like no1 wana study tht course kind..but it proof me wrong when i went fr the trans prog ystd..the whole lecture theater is PACKED ! im nt sure wif the number of ppl, 200plus at least..& as we go on wif our prog, we get to know our team mates better, & i realised its really tough fr the locals to enter..they hav to score really well..partly coz many of them r doin double degree..biomed & law, biomed & chem engineering, or econs, or science..
where as fr international students, they will lower the standard, so tht they can get more international students & earn more $$ ?

i felt intimidated fr a moment..lol..but its ok, im nt here to compete wif them, or i wish their presence would be a pushing or driving force, or rather a role model fr me..
just try my very best & excel..thts the best thing i can do !

wait

registration...enrolment..this & tht..

2mr transition prog..9-5 ..oh man..another bz day..so tiring..2day's enrolment suppposed to be 1pm, but i went over at 11plus..so sat down & wait, till 1pm walked all the way to the faculty, there is a note stating "starts at 2pm"..omg!! got to WAIT again..by time it ends, it was 3smthing..came back & rest a while, got to cook..seldom hear me saying this yea..

after dinner, nat came back & asked me out fr badm..badm!! wee ^^

oh well, while im reading the biomed course guide, & staring at the screen waiting fr my enrolment stuff to clear, but it doesnt..i got no idea y also..shall check it out at the faculty 2mr..sleepy & tiring..off to bed
ZzzzZzzzZzzz

pictures of memories

they r the 1 who made the scarf fr me..muacks



& there comes another 2 gals..
& yes ky, im using ur spoon all the time!

& wt's plannar too..

thx buddy
except the face towel ky..

or else my face will turn black

& after i've landed in aussie,
straight to this hse..

the very first hse mate i met was her..

NATALIA..

she's 1 of the nicest person on earth..nt bcoz she cooked lunch fr me when i need it the most, simply coz she treat ppl wholeheartedly..


ohya, apparently im the 2nd youngest in this hse,

if wana compare wif this little boy Nicholas


& melanie, another dai je (too bad din take any pic of her), treat me dinner on the 1st day..

& also brought me to hang gai on saturday..


13th was her bday, so she bought us pizza :D




on valentine's day, yunn hsieh & aunty joanne & family invited me over fr dinner..

steamboat !! yummy ~

clayton campus tour..& the area simply just..humongous




many more buildings ard but then lazy to take pics or upload..

tired

woke up quite late 2day, & after settling wif the bank stuff, & chatted wif mum, i've decided to walk to the nearby shopping centre..apparently its abt 2km..

imagine in msia, 2km means walking fr my hse all the way to ikano or the curve tht area or further a little bit..i would hav just go there by car..keeping aside abt driving to the curve, even to those taman tun roles of banks or restaurant to tabao food, i will drive there..OMG =.=

spending every single cents on my own, i will feel the pain..haha..im still spending my dad's money, just that every little things might cause u to pay thru ur nose..but later on i will get use to the currency..

dun feel like eating lunch, its like after walking back under the hot sun made me feel like dashing to the bed & sleep..& so after a cup of hot choc, "using the spoon ky gave me"..& now i shall go & hav a nap & restore my energy..till then ~

IM BACK !

HEY PPL, i miss u guys lots too~

finally im back in the cyber world..the pass few days was horrible without the internet..
actually i would say everything is really fine wif me, esp day time since i will b out most of the time, goin to the campus & scout ard for food & goods..run some errands..

i shall start wif the first day,
leaving behind all those crying sobbing moments b4 i left msia..as u noe, im a very emo person..lol..& i cant control my tear gland fr producing tears..

so yea i overnite in the plane & arrived in aussie ard 8.20am..
oh btw my luggage exceeded the max weight..coz i tot clem told me it was rm200smthing fr every 10kg extra..so i just brought extra & prepared to pay..till i reach the counter, & when they weigh my luggage, & tell me : miss, u r required to pay rm1400++..im stunned ! its actually 140+ fr EACH KG EXTRA !!
omg..so last min got to withdraw more stuff..haihz..no more maggi! haha..
even my big luggage bag edi exceeded by 2kg, & begged tht lady to not charge me extra..she's so nice & said, ok fr this time i wil help u, nex time try nt to exceed the max weight..thx LADY !!

& yea once i arrived in aus, then bought a vodafone simcard..which is quite expensiv to call..switching soon^^ next month..btw, my contact no is +61410732306..can sms me anytime :D

shifted into a big hse, a big empty room wif 1 single bed, cupboards & table..apparently i realised my rental is a bit expensiv, coz mine is a bigger room..but im nt using the entire place also, the AIR is using it=.=

anyway my other housemates r really nice ppl..the first day, when i tot i was all alone at home, luckily there's 1 of them who's at home..so she cooked lunch fr me..at tht very moment, when i was so LOST, no food, sm1 just cameby & said : hey u want a meal or smthing?

the 2nd day when i went to the campus to hav a look, & its super huge..the compound was like, few times of 1utama..haha..i tot i've walked quite far, but im just at tht small spot wondering ard..during lunch time,
there's a chinese gal confronted me
she : r u chinese?
me : erm, im malaysian chinese, not china chinese
she : got such thing?
to those chinese rite, they cant imagine msia hav chinese !! or mayb, chinese cant speak mandarin..ohya & when i speak to her, i tend to slang a bit too..haha..got influenced by her "biao zun" mandarin ~

but when it comes to nite, its horrible !! homesick man..coz no internet to use..i din noe tht internet man actually left me a msg, & asked me to return his call..by time i do so, he is nt free to set up fr me edi..tht whole nite was the worst nite eva man..time crawls !!

& so comes the 3rd day..i found a shortcut fr the hse to the campus..wee^^ no need to walk so far..bank in some money & start to go on a bus-tour..actually it was a mistake, tht took me an hour plus to arrive at a place where its just 5-10mins away..but its okay..

& i went to shop..i realised in aus is tht, to those angmo u will always greet them, end ur words wif have a nice day..u will feel happier..haha..when u go to a chinese shop, where the boss is a chinese, speak to them in mandarin & asked fr discount, they will giv..i've tried it twice, & it works fr both times :D

& till evening, im anticipating fr the man to come & get my connection done, & its done!! im on cloud nine at tht particular moment coz im once again get connected to the world..haha..nt tht sesat anymore..& so for now, TIME FLIES..

till then..
