Week 1

Haiz, so troublesome but finally settle my timetable and units. Hope I made the right choice and must work hard. All 4 subjects are hard. No fooling around.

Starting from the first day was already stressed. Wake up at 7, lecture are 8. But never mind, met the sexy cowboy DG Holmes what Titus like very much. He is cool indeed.

Rushing in lectures, rushing out lectures' office. So tiring.Even stress to choose my design topic which I will be busy the whole semester. Hope I made the right choice.

Robotic sounds interesting and hard too. Sigh~ Next week EM lab is starting and I am not in any how prepared. Time is running out and i dun think I have the time to prepare.

Now even worst. I am packing to go for a ski trip where the time of departure is exactly one hour away.

Week 1 so busy~~

Snow, here i come~~

Red Centre Tour Day 3 + 4

Ah~~ The unit selection for this semester is so annoying. Hope everything goes well and hope that my selection is correct. But anyway, still need to continue the report for Red Centre Tour. Uploading these photos took me ages.

Day 3
We are leaving CooberPedy to Alice Spring. Alice Spring is a well known town at the central of Australia. We set up our tent there and the temperature dropped to zero celsius that night. Cold~ Justin and I shared a tent. Dun worry, we no gaying...

Red Centre Tour Day 1 + 2

During the break, i went to the central of Australia. The journey was far, but is fun.
Day 1 (1 July 2008)
We started our journey by waking up at 4am and abroad the bus at 5am something. It is early but we have no choice. We spend our time on the bus anyway. We spent a night at Adelaide. We stayed in a bunkhouse and it is near the seashore. Before dinner, we took a walk by the seaside. Sea breeze was so refreshing and cold.

8 of us (include me, the photographer)

Day 2 (2 July 2008)

Again, we had to wake up early that day as we had a 12-hours road journey to reach our first destination, Coober Pedy. Coober Pedy is a small town famous for its opal mine. It is like a desert to me where water is precious. We can't mandi sampai puas thanks to the cold weather and precious water. We visited the opal mine and watch how opal was cut. The mining tunnels were fun. However, this is the place where people worked hard to dig out the opal mine many years ago. They stay in underground houses inside the tunnel. It is just like your house and "office" is connected.

The small town is quite complete with facilities. From hospital to school, from church to bank (realise everything is singular??), it also have a pub where my angmoh friends will be very happy about it. Since my friend gang wasn't that keen with pub, we played with Justin camera with special effect. It was fun.

Woke up very early for Coober Pedy

Opal is beautiful

I believe pictures says a thousand words but I feel annoying as blogspot doesn't allow me to upload tonnes of pictures at the same time. Next entry...

Year 3 Sem 2

After 10 days of Red Centre trip, tomorrow my new semester will start. Predicted as my worst semester ever in Monash due to the heavy-loaded-contact hours, I probably will spend most of my time with my project partner. Not gaying of course, but will be doing out project. Wonder what Dr Price will give us this time.

This break is the shortest break that i ever had. Thanks to our late paper which let us had one week less holiday compared to previous years. Great Ocean Road, Grampians National Park and Phillip Island, all i want to go before i go back Malaysia.

Results came out already. Registered to receive result through sms is kinda a funny experience. That time, i was in the city and suddenly realised i had a message, and suddenly i open my message and suddenly i glanced through my result. All happened so sudden and fast. Good. No any heart attack syndrome. According to Titus, I am finally a human. What the~~

About result, no point talking much. Just say that i am satisfied. Really satisfied.

Still trying to collect the photos of the Red Centre Tour. Everyone was busy so kinda hard to collect all. Never mind, will do my best to collect all.

All the best to everyone in the new semester. Hall's dine in at 6 and i better be ready...
