Finally got to post!~
I'm still alive!!! XDDD

Heheh, only managed to get my internet connection on tuesday night, but with all the work to be done... Here is my first post at Aussie! 

The past three weeks had been pretty hectic, having to settle down in a new place, getting furniture for ourselves, and setting up the power supplies, line connection, internet connection... But I've finally settled down with Pat and GD at a place in Lidcombe, which is pretty near to school *coughalongwaytowalkcough*. At least I don't have to travel by train everyday to school - 'tis really heng man. Imagine, a return trip from Lidcombe to Auburn can cost like... $3.80? And that's only one stop apart! DX

Orientation had been so so, but the revision of the english did help a little... I kinda forgot my grammar... Pretty much returned it back to primary school and British Council. And did I mention that my timetable's pretty slack? (At least in NYP-sense) I've got friday off!!! Mine's (the RGs) aren't the best yeat, the RTs actually have a three day week for the first six weeks! XDDDD

The start of school's fine, though I had a shock on monday when I went to school. I only had a lecture on monday from 1-3pm, and being the first week, the lecturer only gave a half hour introduction to our curriculum and we're finished! o.O Imagine walking half an hour to school to be in school for another half hour. WTH!?!

The other classes had been fine, I especially liked the integrated diagnosis professor... His dry humour and way of teaching had been really fun and enriching.

... And did I mention that the sun sets really early here as well? I keep having this feeling that I'm back in HK again, only this time round, I see houses instead of high rise buildings and skyscrapers XDDDD

Man, I miss my family already... *sniffles* Now that's an odd thought...

Welcome to Aussieland! Hope you enjoy your stay! What course are you doing again?

Transport - Weekly or monthly passes are good as it's cheaper than buying it daily (but that depends how much you travel). And your place should allow transport concession for international students right? I think it's only in Victoria that it's not allowed.

Yeah, most first week/introduction classes are short, but once the work starts piling it's pretty hectic. And it's pretty common to have one day off a week. I love the humour of some of the professors. I had some who were sarcastic but in a fun way =P But yeah, teaching is v. different to Singapore for sure =P

Heheh, thankie!~ I'm doing Medical Radiation Science - Diagnostic Radiography XDDD

Unfortunately... They don't allow transport concessions for international students here too *whimpers* But at least it's only a 90cent ride to school... So it ain't as bad XDDD

Oh man, I'm starting to dread what you're saying XDDD Apparently, my 'busy' schedule comes during week 6, and that's when all the assignments are to be handed up XDD Lucky thing about the one day off... And they've got study breaks!! Never had that in the entirety of my education life in Singapore XD

Yeah! I like that sarcasm at times... Heck, one of my teachers has got this really dry sarcasm lah! XDDDD

LOL. "Study Breaks" Would be conducive only if we didn't have assignments due right after them XDD Btw, if you've got time (and some $$) during September break, you should come down for Manifest!! It's a v. different experience from the S'pore Cosfests I must say, and lots more things going on ^^

Oooh! That's something I'll look into!! Hopefully I'll have the time and the $$$ to head there and catch it! =D

Is it as big as CosFest??? Or even bigger??? XDDD

OOh, it's definitely bigger! Cosfest is just cosplay and singing competition with some stores. At Manifest we have those, as well as panels, anime screenings, AMV, art, ddr, games and many kinds of competitions, and anime chess, where cosplayers can be a chess piece XD It's over 2 days, but you can sign up for just one day. Pre-registration is on their website. If you buy entry on that day is more expensive. I usually prefer to go on Sunday cuz that's when the finals of the competitions are held lol. Also it's held at my uni =P

Honestly, after going for Manifest I've kinda stopped going for cosfest or eoy. Sure, the quality of cosplay may not be as good as in Singapore, but there's more to do and less bitching between the cosplay groups =P No one's going to get into a cat-fight because two groups are doing the same thing.

Now you're making me even more tempted to go to Manifest! XDDDD

I'd like to see the anime chess! There was one at SMASH, but I kinda missed it whilst waiting for Kiuchi to appear XDDDD AMV... *drools* I LOVE watching those!!!

Nah, quality isn't everything! It'll be fun to observe how other cosplay events are like =D

Ahh.... now it's national day, finally some time to write something here... Well... I'm no good at theory, and it took me a day plus to understand what Roland Barthes is saying in his theory... Gosh. Why can't they just say it in point form or something. It's just three frickin miserable points and he can write 10 A4 pages just to cover that *grumblegrumble* the power of crap.

.....Oh yea, I'm enjoying. Learning new words everyday, my fingers are now at default mode to type in google 'define: insert-bombastic-word-here'. Did I tell u that wiktionary is my best friend currently? Oh yea, the kids suffer to see me at home dominating the com for a greater cause. Boo hoo, no computer to play. Alleluia.

Looking on the bright side, I'm appreciating pictorial art even more, that's what an art school does rite? Yes the delusion... Banzai.

PS. I'm randomin with angst. Take care woman :p

XDDD Randoming with angst indeed. Merde, you're starting to sound like someone sia...

Eheheh, that's what 'literature' is after all XDDD Elaboration is the key to a beautiful piece of work my arse.

Jia you wor!~ At least google works well for ya. Alternatively, can always use a traditional dictionary mah.. Lagi better right? XDDD Do dominate the PC more often, that will definitely minimize the chances of Yang contracting myopia before I reach home XDDD

Will be calling back home soon. Did you watch the black knights' perfomance? Damn cool man!!! =D

Yea, the performance by the fighter planes were cool. Something really new, at the price of some veggie sellers' ricebowl (psst, remember the issue of red spots found on veggies in the market...?) Wonder how u see the show nia... telecasted in australia too? Oo? Me sound like who nia?? *whistle* I'm quite sarcastic online i realised... especially when I have the time to think and type. Anyways, life goes on..... T.T And it takes about a minute to get the word on the page of the dictionary (sometimes, not even there), and u know what google does yea...
