A new semester, a new start?

Short Talk: I've been having weird dreams lately that involves tar from the road being inside my body and it's giving me the shivers every time I think about it.

Week 1 has passed and I swore that I would change my bad habits of procrastinating, sleeping in lectures and not skipping lectures as well. But somehow all of those happened in the first week itself!!

I'm so angry at myself!!! :@

Firstly, my lecturer for Digital Systems is the same person from Programming last semester!! You can't imagine how much more effective he is compared to a sleeping pill.

Then on Thursday, I accidentally turned off my alarm instead of snoozing it and I missed my 9am lecture!! Luckily I still made it for the 10am one.

Then I was supposed to finish my tutorials and exercises before the weekend, but it's not done yet and today is already Sunday!!


This morning, I was still lazying around, procrastinating and stuff. But when I came back from the gym, I suddenly felt more energized than ever! So I could probably even start on my assignment! =)

Yes yes, I know, first week and I have assignments already... T_T

Okay time for a recap of my holidays!

First on the list, Tasmania Trip!!

My camera was still under repair back then so I grabbed these photos off Facebook.


The people who went included Riorn, Julian, Erwin, Me, YiJun, Wai Chien, Pey Chin, Victoria and Alexis.




Farms like this one are abundant in Tasmania and they're just totally awesome!



And I got to touch a real kangaroo for the first time! =D


Just 2 days after I came back from Tasmania, I was out again to Winter Camp at Mt Morton! This place was even colder than Tasmania!! =O


My awesome cell during winter camp! =)


Then on one fine and lovely day, Boon asked me out to Victoria Market at the city. After walking the market, we were supposed to go for some Star Wars convention, but was diverted to the Melbourne Museum.

After a few photos at the park outside the museum, we went on a photo frenzy and started making a photographic drama!! LOL!!

Here's some clue on what we were making:





Full story at Brandon's Blog.


And that's how my holidays went. If I wasn't out somewhere, then I would be at home waking up late, watching 'How I Met Your Mother' and skipping meals.

'How I Met Your Mother' is basically a father, telling his children how he met their mother, which is also his current wife.

But the thing is, he starts from the very beginning, and he tells every single little thing that happens before he met his true love.

As of now, I've finished up to season 4!! And he haven't even began the story of how he met his wife!! Not even a clue about how the wife looks like either.

Oh I'm begging for season 5 to be released earlier... T_T


On a separate note, I've never been skiing before and now is the best time! I know that I'll never get another chance coz I'll only be here for a year. So Thank God there was a second third fourth chance for me.

Malaysians at Caulfield are organising a day trip to Mt Buller on Saturday 1st August and the transport + entry fee is only $50. But there's the rent for equipment which is around $100 and the ski lift costs $50 per day.

Which means I'll be spending around $200 for this trip, something that I could not afford at a time like now unless I call my parents for some extra money. =(

But I really really really wanna go!!

Well, let's hope for the best.



Enjoy!! =D

Lazy days...

Short Talk: I'm glad that the travel grant reached early!! Thanks Monash!! =D

As the holidays progress, I get lazier each day. I feel like if no one is asking me out the next day, I would probably sleep at 4am and wake up at 2pm the next afternoon.

But I'm not that sad la... Min-Yi and his housemates asked me out 3 days in a row!

On Saturday, we went to Knox City! It was only my first time being there and it felt like The Curve, Ikano and Cineleisure combined into one!! The biggest mall I've visited apart from Chadstone...

Anyways we just went there to walk around, girls did their window shopping as usual, then we went to the Hog's Breathe Cafe for some famous steak!! If you're not willing to spend at least $20, don't go there, seriously.

But if you are, the steak there is really nice!! It was my first time trying REAL steak. So I didn't know how cook I wanted it and I said 'well done' which was a bad choice because the meat turned out to be so hard to chew!! =X

Next time, I'm telling them 'medium-well' which was just the right texture because I tried Min-Yi's one. =)

Then while at the bus stop, we took this nice photo:



I still don't have my camera so I stole this from facebook. =p


Then on Sunday, I went to Melbourne Central for a karaoke session with Min-Yi and his housemates. Nothing much to say, except that I had a great time!! =D

It was my first time going to the karaoke with friends. Usually it's with my family or with my father's colleagues.



Other than singing the songs I like, I also found out how deprived I was of chinese songs. So in exchange for the movies I'm giving to Vivien, she's giving me some of her nicest chinese songs!! =D

Oops, I need to go for another outing in the city now, going to watch Harry Potter today!! =D
