moved house again!
i moved, within, the same house, from unit 2 to unit 4 y'day! yupz, unit 4 was the one i signed to rent till aug... i did think that i liked it when i viewed it, small little unit, small bedroom, living rm, kitchen, toilet - all are small size one... hee.. even the small is so small - like a very old monitor... :P but now that i've moved in and be inside, i dun really like it.. i find the plc quite dirty... y'day when i 1st moved in... i killed a live cockroach 1st, den killed a live lizard (and the worst part is removing it's body, cos i couldn't find my garget yet!), killed LOTS of ants.. cleaned lots of insect shit... yucckkkksssss lor!!! den later i found a dead cockroach in the toilet drawer... totally grossed out, i juz left it there and close the drawer back.. den today, my mom cleared it! hee.. so good to have mommy there..
started 1st day of sch today! had 2 lectures, 1-3pm and 6-8pm.. inbtw, 3-6pm - i went to visit the associations booths (like CCAs in singapore), and left my name and contact wif the qutchristans group - it's a fellowship and bible study grp that meet inside campus... and i think it might be a good idea cos its inside campus and in the day time.. i went for CCM, grp i met in sg during pre-departure briefing, but they have theirs on fridays nite in another district, and i went for unicell, an indepent grp from the Chinese Christian Church, also in another district, and they meet every sat nites. although both grps provide transport, i juz think it might be inconvenent.. Then i was looking out for the sg association, and then the hong kong association tried to recruit me... -.-
Then i get out of sch and met my 2 gal frens in the city, shopping and had chit chatting over coffee.. we talked many things, including tattoos and piercings... ooooo, im intrigued to pierce my uppper ear.. haha! but scared leh... im been wif that idea since like 18 i think... hee... scared from then till now... tat's why no actions yet... den amelia asked if it's wrong for a christian to tattoo and will i get a tattoo... my answer was no, simply cos of the stumbling block thing. i told them im more religious (actually i wld say serious abt my faith, but i didnt cos i didnt wanna make it sound like they are not), and i wanna be preaching jesus and going for missions, and how can pple take me seriously if i had tattoos all over... and amelia said but tat's the social perception that bad guys have tattoo, if she has a diff perspective and she knows the body is a temple of god, but she not demaging it or ruining it, she thinks tattoos are very nice and arty - obviously she's not talking abt the big scary dragons kinds, but the small ones in some interesting corners of the body... so what's so wrong abt getting tattoo? anyone any answer? i would think of it as if u, or her, say so - it's your, or her, freewill and only your own r'ship wif God can give u the answer.
den i head back to class, ended sch and went home at 7.30 when it's already pitch dark... found it not as scary as my mom keep nagging abt... ya, mommy's asleep now.. its my 2am now... shes snoring really loudly... and she's occupied the whole bed liao lor.. im going to kick her to get in.. hee.. (yup, we share one SINGLE bed)
scary scary nite
As nite, a car packed outside my unit. The taiwan gal says its prob the Japanese guy's car - from unit 2 (unit im renting).. So mom and i think he's prob packing up his stuff to move out (so we can move in, yeah!)... den hours later, out auto-sensor light, which would light up outside the door if they sense someone at the door, lighted up! and it lighted up 3 or 4 times too... but everytime it lights up, and we turn our heads, there's no one there! so we locked up all the doors.. haha.... scared leh... later to calm ourselves, we decided that the jap guy run up to light up the sensor and quickly run away to not be supicious so he can have light to see his packing.. anyway, we are still alive.. :)
then later in the room, had my 1st fight againt the ugly cockroach!!! BIG one!!! yucks!!! i tried to catch it with my big insect catcher garget (same one i bought polly), and i broke it!! so in the end, gotta use old fashion, scream-as-u-hit-cockroach-with-newspaper!! and i juz took the taiwan gal's insect spray without asking.. haha!!
the garget is fixed back now... not terminally broken.. haha.. and im gonna buy my own roach stray later.. YUCKSSSS...!!!!
Clips clips
takes soooo long to upload... i still got some chinatown lion dance and fire crackers clips... hee... another time ba...
my ride on the ferry, which is called the CityCat
Orientation program, the welcome dance by indigenious australians
O-Week
Orientation started on tues, ended today... it's not the typical sg play stupid games, shout abt kind of orientation, juz sit down information sessions... ya, not very interesting but informative enuff.
im going thru the hassles of credit exemptions... they granted me the max of 12 subjects, but out of the 12, 3 are counted as electives... but of the 12 that i have to do, 4 other seems like repeated subjects from poly... so im trying to ask if i can exemp those and do electives, which i can choose, instead... BUT it seems like there's so much hassle to do it, im jus thinking of leaving everything as it is... my repeat subjects are like market research (oh gosh...), IMC, e-marketing, and strategic marketing. Seriously, i didnt wanna do research again, cos i even worked in that field already... and strategic marketing, my poly grades was B but i seriously didnt know how i got that grade and what actually went on, so im jus trying to avoid it.. haha... BUT im jus too lazy to go up and down and to diff buildings to do the exemptions things.. hai... why so ma fan, i tot they would do everything nice nice for me liao... so now, im juz like 80% feeling that i shld juz leave everything as it is... maybe i'll get better grades for those 4 subjects and hence push up my overall grades.. hehee...
made some acquaintances - 1 french guy, 1 belgium guy, 3 singaporeans guys and gal, 2 china gals, 1 taiwanese (plus one more older taiwanese whom im currently living wif), 1 norway gal.. But I've been hanging out with the singapore guy and gal and the norway gal more for the past 2 days...
got approached by Unicell, which is a campus fellowship grp - they invited me for BBQ on sat morning (yes, morning...), and the UQ campus fellowship grp, some are having steamboat on fri nite... im going, im going.. hee...
Settled in Oz!!
Okkkieee lah everybody.... I'm alive in Brisbane!! Thanks for seeing me off, so many of you...
Thank God for the safe journey!! The flight was alrite, except that i had some probs with the tv for a while in the start of the journey. I've watched Little Miss Sunshine and The Last King of Scotland on the plane.. hee... Both are good movies... :)
I've moved out of the backpacker's hostel already, now settled in a rented room in South Brisbane. My new place is walking distance to the uni, and very convenient to take a bus to the city - but the way home is really very dark and extremely quiet at night.
this house is divided into 4 parts/compartments/units - whatever u call it. i'm renting a small unit that has 2 bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, toilet and bath. im renting the small bedroom cos the bigger bedroom is already booked by another chinese indonesian gal, who has not moved in yet so i have not seen her. anyway, my room is still being occupied until the 24th feb so im temporarily in another unit's medium size bedroom... hee...
i took some photos but it's taking forever to load, so i'll share it again some other time... hee..
bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce away liao!
brisbane singaporeans
met some singaporeans from brisbane campus crusade... hee... they are very much singaporean all over... they talk with some chinese mixed in the english, say lame jokes, eat a lot... but one tot taka was inside vivocity, many tot that the mochi sweet is very new and interesting, and they didnt finish up their sambal stingray!! - that is so not singaporean.. haha...
ok, so seems like they are all live in Toowong or St Lucia, the inner city surburbs... ok, im intending to get a plc in the inner city surburbs too, prob Toowong... accordingly, Toowong is like a little singapore there.. haha...
