Looks cute to me :P

Catch up

Catch up with another gang of friends, this time would be my secondary school friends.

I haven't been to Midvalley for quite some times, well, this would be my first time ever since I'm back to Malaysia. It looked the same, just added another building of shopping complex- The Garden. Still a new building, but filled with expansive branded stuffs.... it only would be window shopping for me. Although I saw a few clothes and accessories (sunglasses and watch), but once I saw the price (above RM 1000), turned around and walked away.... LOL...

Perhaps like my friend, Penny said:

"This is 'The Garden', of course it's meant to be walk and look around... to be observe, but not to buy/touch..."

The decoration in MV looks a bit weird... seems more like a Autumn decoration rather than a Christmas event.

Catch up

At last, I finally going to catch up with my best friends... well, more to my 'ji mui' :P and that would be Esther, Elaine and Joanna (too bad my 'mei mei'- Yi Lin) wasn't in Malaysia. We went to 1-Utama for the gathering, and we took lunch in BBQ Plaza. Miss u all ler~

Merry Christmas

HOHOHO... MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!

Old?

After sleeping on my bed for a few days, my parents decided to drag me out, not for shopping first, but to visit my relatives and their friends. I packed a lot of small packets filled with chocolate and nougat that bought from Australia, and of course now it's festive season, so it's like a Christmas gift for everyone.

Every time I visit every single home, I will (or I had to) hear someone said:
"Wah, looks so different after a year in Melbourne!" ;
"Hey, you looked more old/mature compare to last time, I remembered that you were still like a kid when u left..." ;
"You seems to change a lot ever since you went to Melbourne to study, you seems [skinnier/toned/fatter? taller? tanned/fair? no change?]" (those were the comments I heard till now).
Well, what do you think?

Well, perhaps.. when people went and settle in a new environment, people tends to change according to environment in order to adapt to the lifestyle and the norm among the foreigners. Things changes slowly, not because you want to, but you have to change. Everyday we had to learn new stuffs, knowledge and our identity for ourselves, to project to everyone for who you are and what we were. Some how we need to think and analyzed what is right and wrong, what we should/shouldn't do, and would it affect other people? or even myself? For me, I felt I changed some, about my personality, my thinking and perspective. Not to mention I gotta speak English all the time. LOL...

Old? I'm not too sure... I'm still young ! and maybe mature? At least my age is still starts with 1x :P

Sneeze

Gosh, the weather in KL was terrible... Sunny in the morning, and raining in the evening; or raining for the whole daytime, and cooling in nighttime. I think I started to feel discomfort eversince i step downed from the plane. There's a few passengers kept sneezing and coughing, and the air ventilation was worst, air recirculates until I felt the warmness. Horrible... >.<

I had been sleeping for hours for the past few days, and mom kept 'remind' me : "Drink more water","Eat more vege and fruit, or vitamins supplements","Don't sleep under the fan"....blah blah blah... and the worst thing "Don't go out/NO SHOPPING !!", how could I survived without shopping and going out?

Ahhhhhhhhhh CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!

I'm back~

After 8 hours of dizziness on flight, watching 2 movies (Ratatouille and Transformer), 2 meals and turbulence due to cloudy day around the countries like Indonesia and Malaysia... Finally I stepped out the plane at 5.45am... At last,

I'm back to Malaysia !

Totally exhausted, I slept in my dad's car while on the way back home, and they took me for a breakfast. After that I felt more energetic, and what's next would be.... start unpacking, cleaning.... Just wanna finish everything before I could rest and enjoy myself crazily.

Shopping

Few more days and I will be going back to Malaysia for my lovely summer break vacation. I'm getting excited now ~

And of course, I need to get some soveniers and chocolate back for my family. So I went to the city today and shop like crazy... A lot peoples in the city today, and seems that they buy so many stuffs as there were cheap.... well, not for me... Bought some chocolates, nuts and nougats.

Start packing now.... argh....

你最近还好吗

挑一张耶诞卡写上满满祝福的话 　　
地址写的是心底 你能不能收到它 　　
天有点冷 风有点大 城市宁静而喧哗 　　
这一个冬天我得一个人走回家 　　

问自己习惯了吗 　　
没有你每到夜裏回声变得好大 　　
有没有什麽好方法让寂寞更听话 　　

Chorus:
你最近还好吗 是不是也在思念里挣扎 　　
你说会记得我 还记得吗 　　
你最近还好吗 　　忙碌吗累吗 心还会痛吗 　　
如果真不得已忘了我 　　快向快乐出发 　　

有再多的牵挂都已没有权利表达 　　
旧情人给的问候令陌生人都还尴尬 　　
昨天远了 明天还长 回忆模糊但巨大 　　
这样的深夜眼泪要怎样不流下 　　

问自己习惯了吗 　　
没有你每到夜裏回声变得好大 　　
有没有什麽好方法让寂寞更听话 　　

Chorus

Results released !!!

After all these few weeks and eveything has to come to the end.... At last, my second semester results released finally !!!

Panic-ing when browsing the student portal page... type in my student id no. and password... wait...any moment....

and.... I screamed !!! (not really loud, just surprised)

What a relief for me... I got all HD (High Distinction) for all my subjects for this semester... Yeah !!!

Spider

I just came back from dinner at my uncle's house, once I walk into the room, I saw a huge and hairy spider just at the corner. Ew ~


What to do? Gotta get rid of it. At first I thought of catching it, but it's quite disgusting and I have no idea how to capture it. So in the end....





The spider ended in the rubbish bin, with bananas !

Yum Cha

First time we had a gathering after exam, we went to city for 'yum cha'. This term was quite funny for Asians people because.... it's just so weird in western countries, where if they want to have 'dim sum' and teas in Chinese restaurant, they will say 'yum cha'.

We came to a restaurant called 'Sharkfin', in terms of mandarin would be ‘食为先’. It's really sound so different between the English and mandarin version. I heard my friend told me that we need to make reservation, because everyday there will be a lot people 'yum cha' in the restaurant. We sort of quite excited in there (no idea what's the reason, we just feel excited). We ordered a lot of varieties of dim sum (well, suppose all those dim sum was well known, like 'har gao', 'siew mai'......). The food was quite nice, well if compare to the Chinese food standard here (We wouldn't expect much excellent and tasty Chinese cuisine here).

My best lab partner

For this whole semester, and for the whole 3 lab session included biology, chemistry and physics. My favorite all time lab partner - Vivien Tam !!!

My lab session would always be hyper-active, perhaps it's after lunch time. It wouldn't be bored for the whole 3 hours. She always get lame jokes which always makes a temporary 'cold' moment, and continue with laugh. I think we were the only lab couple which always be active and talkative all the time... LOL... Well, it's fun even thou the lab session was tremendously boring.

Vivien, a pre-vet student, taking the same 3 science subjects as me. She's a party girl, and good in alcohol.... a lot more better than me. Thank to her, I drank alcohol occasionally and down to city for a drink in pubs and clubs. :P

Break time?

Starting from today, I will have a long

Summer break !!!

What should i do now?

Last paper

Last paper today, CHEMISTRY !!!

Feel a bit confident with this paper, as I had put a lot effort and interest on it (at least I studied chemistry last 2 weeks before). Chemistry is always my favorite subject, even dad asked me why I didn't took Chemistry as my major in science degree. I'm not pretty sure, I think I have to wait till my results release (on 7 Dec), then on that time I will decide.

I'm done with exams now, it's time to relax and have fun ^^

Hot day

It's 28 degree celcius outside, it's so hot and hot.... temperature was getting similar to Malaysia. Well, perhaps it's time to adapt myself and prepared my body environment when I go back to Malaysia. It's summer now in Melbourne (Australia), and daytime hour was much longer now, even sunset time is getting late till 8pm. One thing I dislike would be the flies, it's freaking annoying. Although the body was clean or just took a bath, but the flies just stick to you, and even you tried to get rid it by waving your hand around, it will stick back again >.<

It's Sunday, fine and sunny day, 2 more days to go till Chemistry exam. I seems so relaxed now, perhaps I did some revision before. Now I'm more concentrated in doing pass year papers. However, the heat was so terrible, I lost my concentration. Instead, I'm gonna online the whole day. :P

Are You a Perfectionist?

You Are 74% Perfectionist

You are a true perfectionist. You are both demanding of yourself and others. While it's great to have goals and standards, they don't need to be sky high!

Are You a Perfectionist?

Physics was OVER !

Oh yea, Physics exam was finally over...

It's terrible and horrible hard and tough for this paper, not even have time to check again.... Once i got the question paper, I'm totally stunt by the first question... read through the paper, I'm sort of disappointed with it... what can I do now was continue dumping all sorts of formulas and hope for something similar came out >.< Luckily the quantum physics part wasn't as hard as the electromagnetic part.

After all the struggles and tortures for the whole year.... from now onward,

NO MORE PHYSICS ANYMORE !!!

Nerdy lame joke

A day before physics, I'm totally gave up already. What am I doing now?
Just relaxing....

A flash moment during my biology practical lab with my close lab partner, Vivien. Both of us go crazy and hyper every time in the lab. That's why I love biology lab time, it's so interesting and having fun all the time. I remembered on that day, we were study about classification of plants. We were given 7- 8 plants to identify the species name based on the flow chart of phylogeny. We took one of the plant, and she was already getting bored with the classification. I kept asking: Is it a mono/dicotyledon? How many petals? Is the ovary/carpel dorsal or ventral position? .....

Until I came to one of the criteria.
" Is the flower in radial or bilateral? "
" Well, we gotta ask the flower" she said.
" Huh? "
" You asked me whether it is a bi. or a straight flower right? How I supposed to know? you gotta asked the flower. " she said.

I was stunt for awhile.... trying to figure what was she trying to say.
And she popped up: " Nerd.... "
And I realized , " Lame joke !"

2 more papers to go

2 more days till the next paper, Physics.... Probably you all knew that I never like Physics, till I REALLY HATE IT !!! Last night already rest enough, now it's the time to study, maximised my absorption on all the physics, from electromagnetic till quantum physics.

I'm so desperate now, I'm desperate to hope that I have a mega-absorption brain, only absorb and never forgot anything.
I'm desperate that someone could tell me what's the content for the physics paper.
I'm desperate that if I could love physics now.
I'm desperate for getting a special consideration for not to attend physics paper on friday.
I'm desperate for a high concentration caffeine.
I'm desperate to ................. SLEEP...................

Another day of exam

Yesterday on Experimental Design & Data Analysis, 3 hours paper, starting from 9.30am to 12.30pm. This exam should be sort of easier among all my science papers, since it was related to mathematics (statistics). It's quite fun, really.... since it's just all about understanding and calculating (chuck in formula and get the results). Supposed to finish 2 hours, but due to lack of time management and tried to span my time till 3 hours (no wasting time...LOL).

Biology exam today, with genetics and zoology questions in the exam papers. In the first 15 mins reading time, flip through the whole papers... and something really shocks me... something that I didn't even bother to look and study about it... and I always told myself : This one would just briefly discuss about ..... and it turns out so horrible disaster to me. Like the question about A. Aferensis (Lucy), they asked about where it was discovered, time length, brain cavity.... and another thing which was my careless.... I didn't even look at my practical lab book, and one of the question came from one of the arthopod's diagram >.< swt~ Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

Oh well.... still got 2 more papers to go ! Gambatte !!!

Relaxing Sunday

What a relaxing Sunday today.... Nice rainy and cooling weather...
It's perfect to hide under the blanket, just lie down the bed and relax~

Tomorrow it's the first day of exam, Experimental Design & Data Analysis.

and I'm still so relax.... ~

Daylight saving is back !

To all my friends, relatives and readers,

Daylight saving is back on starting today !!!

So, there will be 3 hours difference between Melbourne and Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia).
Good news for me because I could sleep better in the morning, as the sunrise time sort of 'delayed' one more hour. For the last few weeks the sun rise at 5am ++, and I'm kinda photosensitive when I'm asleep. And also we got longer day time hours to do a ot of activities, even till 8pm.

Last day for the semester 2 2007

12 weeks of my first year semester 2 in 2007 had ended today, it seems so fast and a lot of stuffs haven't really got time to digest and organize, especially my brain and notes. It's just seems that I only started my semester 2 weeks ago. Exam is really around the corner, I need to prepare myself somehow... somewhere... and ASAP >.<

All the lecturer gave us a summary lectures in the end of the lecture, it seems a bit helpful, but still the rest gotta depends on myself. There will be exam tutorials for next week (SWOT VAC) which includes chemistry and biology. Physics would never have a tutorial session in study week, this proves for the last semester. Even if they do, somehow I don't think they really helps... (maybe because... I just hate physics) >.< As for the 'Experimental design & Data analysis', i think it will be fine for me since the subject was more on understanding and application of methods and formulas.

We had a study group on chemistry this afternoon in the library, didn't seems like a study group for me because I became a tutor for chemistry instead doing my statistic revision. But anyway it helps me in some way, maybe just enphasize on what I've learnt. It was quite fun actually, hanging out with friends till evening. We had japanese food in Russell st., the services was kinda bad, serving time was so long... which in results the dinner span till almost 9pm. I had transport problem getting home, it was quite late for this time due to all the public transport heading back my area was stopped around 7 something... sigh.... this is the problem if live far away from city ... So I decided to stay overnight at my friend's place... hard to sleep in place where not familiar to me... insomnia again...

Staff's attitude

Talk about some staffs in one of the faculty... I'm so fed up with them.

Firstly, in the begining of the year, I asked them about course advice and structure about biomedical science degree, and they kept on telling me refer to the handbook. (dude... if im understand about the handboook, I wouldn't ask them =.=").
Then they mentioned that I couldn't transfered into the degree in the first few months, after that they said if I could met the requirements, well just depends on the results. So I had to take the subjects similar to first year BBSc student, which included Physics (you guys probably knew...I hate Physics ! Never pick a subject that you not interested on, or you will suffer in the end).
Whenever I had some enquiries, they will kept asking me to refer this and there. They gave me a website that should direct me to internal transfer course website, but I didn't match with what I want. Instead I went to the faculty's office and show them, they still won't belief...argue.... In the end they just realized that I'm an international student (well, I'm so obvious to be overseas student right?). So they decided to get my name and student no. to keep a record and help us to sort out with the international student department.

However, until now I still haven't got any response from them.. >.<

Annelids

I'm so freaking exhausted for this Friday, particular THIS FRIDAY !!!

It's so busy and rush from one place to another, not even going to have lunch at 1pm. This morning Physics's lecture was postponed to afternoon slot due to our lecturer went to attend a funeral (one of he's colleugue in university). God bless ~

That was fine, seems I got some free time, I popped up to one of the staffs, it was our first year Chemistry coordinator, taught us inorganic chemistry in first semester (which I always did this month without notice any lecturer/tutor, I bet they really 'surprized") asked for some questions on Chemistry, and also planning for course next year if I wanted to pursue in Chemistry major. It went for about 15 mins and I decided to let him go (cause he got meeting with he's staffs, but he kept saying: No worries, keep asking question, I'm still available...). Well, of cause I'm not going to ask further question because... I'm late for another lectures... Rush from east to west of the uni >.<

It was really freaking cold, chilling for today, with the maximum temperature of 15 degree celcius >.<>.<... Rush again to Union House to get sandwitch and to the nect building in the east uni....east to west,west to east... and he's lecture...well, I dont feel that he taught anything, but maybe he's teaching style was different, trying to bring jokes and examples to stimulate our brain to think... but it ALWAYS doesn't works for me .... jokes time ends, continued with 3 hours biology practical lab... trying to get hyper cause it was interesting, but my lab partner didn't manage to pull herself to hyper mood, so it become self-hyper.

Today's practical will be studying 4 groups of animal kingdom, Cnidarian, Platyhelminth, Annelids and Mollucsc. simple animals but dominate almost the whole animal kingdom. We dissected earthworm (it's already dead >.<) but still some people felt disgusted with it... again... I felt excited... chop chop...cut cut... until all it's internal organs were exposed.

Finish with a 15 mins test, quite hard cause i got 2 question with they didn't covered, I'm so sure they didn't mentioned about it. No point to argue, rush to train station and hoping some good food tonight...

The end

2 weeks of mid-2nd-semester break... and it's over ~
IT'S OVER !!!!

What did I do in this break?
Sleep, Eat, Online, Shopping, Picnic.... Enjoying the last moment before exam...

and tomorrow? the beginning of self-torture... i assumed ~

Bad boss

I'm so frustrated and angry today.... My stupid boss.... last minute only tell me that i'm not required for today... What's he's explanation? "Because this week is mid-semester break, we don't need too much kitchen hand today... Didn't I told you earlier? I thought I told you and another guy? "

Dude, if I really knew it, I wouldn't come to the working place so early... This time, I'm 100% sure that he didn't tell me at all !!! YEAH, 100% sure!!!

Wasted my sleeping hours, woke up at 6.30am and catch my aunt to Blackburn road, close to Monash University, walked 10 mins and waited in HQ for about an hour... Luckily brought a book for myself to read... and almost the time, I went into the shop, changed my uniform, walked into the kitchen. And one of the kitchen people asked me why am I here? should be only 2 people in the kitchen? I'm totally blanked and puzzled awhile. I picked up the phone and called my boss... and in then end, I gotta spend for 5 bucks for the buss to get home >.< Totally mad !!! PMS-ing !!!

Wireless connection down

Haven't been online for almost 2 weeks... Can't belief I still survived :P

I'm still can't figured out what happened to my internet connection, especially in my aunt's house. I've tried to connect several times, wait till I could took my breakfast, but it still can't connect. The wireless signal from my laptop indicated 'very good'/'excellent' strength, however it said that 'Limited and No Connectivity'...couldn't go on to the internet. I suspected it only happened for wireless connection, and it's not my laptop's problem. I've tried to connect to other wireless network, and it works pretty fine for me. How can I fixed it? >.<

How can people survived without technology?

It's Spring time!

Another new month, September.... It's 3/4 of the year, and my semester was almost 2/3 completed (well, haven't include the exam). So fast !!
My aunt always said, almost a year liao... going back to Malaysia soon for the celebration of Christmas and Chinese New Year. Yea, in fact i can't wait for the day to come >.<

It's spring time in Melbourne, where the flowers bloom, nice scene we can look around here. As the flowers started to undergoes reproduction, the pollens spreads into the air. For those who sensitive/allergic to pollen, it would be a major health problem for them like asthma, eyes irritation, sneezing and cold...

I heard my aunt said that the spring this year came quite late, and it's still cold even it's spring. Quite unusual for this year, perhaps it's all about the climate change. Same thing here, water restriction level 3A (if I'm not mistaken). Even thou the spring rains quite often, but it doesn't reached the water storage site. and due to the fact that the weather is quite dry here, this increase the evaporation rate. The shallow lake after a few days will turn into a dry land. Bad news for us (for Melbourne) >.<

Climate change?

Unusual hot

From the weather report, today is a sunny day with the top of 24 degree celcius. Although it's still winter season, but Melbourne's weather changed frequently the whole year, can't predict accurately compare to Malaysia. Well since it's a nice and fine day, my cousins decided to go to beach to catch some fresh air and have fun ^^

Off we go around 1pm ++, none of us wearing 2 layers/long sleeves clothes. It's really a warm day today, not even a cool breeze. We took 45 mins to reach to beach located away from Cheltenham (I think it's something called beach lane). It wasn't many people around when we reached. I love the beach here, the fine sand, fresh and cooling breeze. But the sea water was chilling >.<

Lectures

First thing in my mind when I woke up this morning, checked whether i had the 'panda eyes'. I was lucky that I didn't had it. But still, the sleepiness and dizziness filled up my brain. I guessed I will have another blurry day ~.~

The whole morning, starting at 9am to 1pm would be my 4 subjects lectures. Physics lecture, don't even mention about it, I'm totally distracted for 1 hour, in the mean time trying to fight the sleepiness. After finished with Physics, I rushed out to get coffee to boast up my mental strength for this whole day. It worked for me, at least I'm concentrate during the Biology lecture, because it was interesting. It's microbes! Tiny little creatures, different sizes and types. The evolution began with microorganism, but cells didn't arise spontaneously, it might be miracle? god creation? Nobody really could answer this question. Perhaps it started in the chemical soup, where most of the elements and chemistry happened. It's really amazing creatures, from prokaryotes to eukaryotes, and well adapted to the environment. As for the Chemistry lecture, it was so dull and bored... quantum chemistry, shouldn't this topic in physics? I was totally shut down for the whole hour. Not even for Experimental Design and Data Analysis.

Another 3 hours of Biology practical lab this whole afternoon till 5pm. It's all about genetics stuffs, things we done like separation of chromosome using gel electrophoresis, observation of crossbreeding between wild type and mutants (eg. flies), and also analyzed the outcome of transformation of E. coli bacteria by inserting the PGlo gene that will glows in the UV light.

Exhausted...

Insomnia

I had insomnia for the whole night again, it was quite warm, even I had switched off the heater, opened up the window. It just didn't worked at all. Staring at the ceiling all night hoping that I could just shut my eyes and mind to get some sleep. It's 2am >.<

100th posts

What? only the 100th posts for the past 1 year duration?

Well... I've gotta blog as much as I can... my blog goal?
Perhaps the blog site would be part of my photo albums;
Perhaps I will blog as often blog anything special as my life in Melbourne;
Perhaps some update news from S.H.E...

Let's see about that :P

藉口

在伊斯坦堡的你 爱情最后的战役中
说了第一九四三句对不起之后
想简单爱却开不了口
倒数后开始与安静斗牛
像龙卷风一扫而过
过去的影像不再有
情话飘散成千里之外一曲东风破
听妈妈的话 别让我受伤

Chorus:
你的滥借口 分裂了你我
同一种调调 没有轨迹的痛
好瞎的借口 飘移了你我
困兽之斗 在在在在在在在
在这乱舞春秋

每当孤单的时候 望着那反方向的钟
寻找那暗号让我回到过去生活
相信发如雪你也爱我
现实中完美主义不再有
是老斑鸠提醒着我
欢乐时光双刀挥过
情感像断了的弦好一个黑色幽默
听妈妈的话 别让我受伤

Chorus

外婆 可不可以告诉我
在爱情悬崖有没有我期待的将军等候
园游会里夜曲美妙弹奏
庆祝开心的朋友 我强颜欢笑的度过
外婆 你可不可以告诉我
在爱情悬崖有没有我期待的将军等候
园游会里夜曲美妙弹奏
别慌我的超人朋友 你的秘密我会保守

喂 在配唱啦 石锅拌饭 加颗蛋喔 好 bye

Nerdy day

It's been a whole day sitting in front with a piles of books, especially Chemistry... I was trying to catch up what I've been left out for the last 4 weeks... Organic chemistry, sounds interesting at first, but the mechanism on how they react, nuclephilic and electrophilic + addition, substitution and elimination, which method suits the best.... It's just 4 weeks with 12 hours lecture, and yet it seems so much to squeeze into the brain...

What I know now is... I need to sleep in order for my brain to build up memories... and for the coming week, 3 long days starting with 9am to 5pm, 3 hours practical lab in 3 days.... >.<~

谢谢你的温柔

S.H.E. with 飞轮海(Fahrenheit)

谢谢你如此温柔 捧着爱情静静等候
我的双手 其实同样在颤抖
但我能给你什么 我只是一个他遗忘的我 心被一扫而空
我会把你种在我心中 也许某天会终于再次长出一个梦

飞轮海:
不知道 不明了
不想要 为什么 我的心
明明是想靠近 却孤单到黎明
不知道 不明了
不想要 为什么 我的心
那爱情的绮丽 总是在孤单里
再把我的最好的爱给你

S.H.E:
谢谢你如此温柔 点着笑容的灯火
只温暖而不打扰我的寒冬 还没决定往哪走
才所以不能答应你陪我 怕你会变成我
我会把你种在我心中 也许某天会终于再次长出一个梦

Culture Shock

It was really unusual for me in this whole week, especially those naked people... (I'm not trying to be dirty minded). It's really weird for me, watching those people naked in the public. As they said they wanted to show their beauty of nature or the inner beauty, I really not interested on that... Maybe because I was an Asian, which this kind of scenario hardly/never happened before... Not in the public, unless you wanted to be caught by police, or get pulled to aside and hit by strangers, or even just to amused people and screamed out....

What happened to those people who really get offended with these stuffs? How would they react? Would it be a dark memory in their uni experience? Did those people think rationally?

Well... Maybe I need just need to get used to it :P

Prosh week

This whole week was called 'Prosh week', not really fully understands what it means, so i check up from Wikipedia.

Prosh refers to both a calendar fundraising event and the satirical annual newspaper written by students at the University of Western Australia to raise funds for nominated charities.

Source: Wikipedia

Yea... Supposingly it should be a charity/fundraising week for certain purpose... HOWEVER....

It's seems a bit different from my university...Out of this whole week, I've been seen a gang of naked students running around the uni... That's right !!! Completly naked, no shirts and pants, no underwears, not even thongs... It happend during a few lectures especially Biology and Chemistry... even the lecturer knew about this thing going to be happen anytime...

First time I saw them, in front of me (well, I usually sitting in the front few rows), and the 'best' of all, the first naked group of people arrived and started to pose naked... yea, and they seems to proud to show their genital organs.... I was kinda having a culture shock, and eventhough I'm an open minded person, but in this situation, I doubt that :P.

The second group came in on another lecture (Biology), while our lecturer was talking about genetics, the variation on population including height, weight.... another naked gang popped in. This time with 4 boys singing while stripping their clothes off till naked, and joined with more naked peoples. They lined up in one row and showed how proud were they to be naked. Our genetics lecturer said: "Now, we have the example shows the variation on different aspect, ranging from the height, body shape, skin color... and the length of... well, I supposed you all could see that (you could guess what she mentioned about)." All of us laughed, and we did learn something from different point of view, and lived examples.

The third time I encountered them was when I was in Chemistry, as I was really concentrating on the lecturer, something caught my eyes... A I saw a white figure moving around on seat, and I looked at that direction... A female student was stripping her clothes off. The lecturer was surprised and asked: "Oh, not again... Don't you people stop striping in my class? It's really distracting my students..." The girl shouted out: "It's that a problem? I was just taking out my clothes and wanna be naked. There's nothing wrong to be naked, I'm proud to show off the beauty of nature! Come on guys !" and a few guys popped up nakedly again >.<

This was Prosh week on my uni...

P/S: Too bad...No photos was taken

Tougher

It's week 4 for semester 2, and again.... I'm still the blur one, trying to figure out what happened for the last 3 weeks... and trying to catch up my studies which certain parts i left behind...

There won't be an easy way to study...Everything need to be understand, digest, absorb and practice in order to strengtern your memory to the knowledges. I know myself, I'm not the genius... That's why I need to learn hard and fast >.<

This semester won't be an easy term, with all the subjects covered with something I haven't learn before, or something more specific and details... Concepts and connections need to be understand and applied to our homework and assignments. Test will be coming up soon (physics short test on Friday, statistic test and assignment would be end of this month), mid-semester coming next month.... science wasn't easy to study, especially when you took all science subjects like me... and the bottom part was... people who actually worked in science related field doesn't earn a lot of money compare to business, medicine, engineering.. another point is, it's also hard to get a job, it must be based on experiences, thesis, research work....But why am I still in Science?

Something to be happy for myself... I finished my chemistry lab practical for almost an hour earlier than the usual time. Perhaps the practical was easy and straight forward, and I did another practical which is similar to this week 2 weeks ago with synthesize of chemical compound, purified and tested with certain chemical. This week we were dealing with the reduction of benzoin (a type of benzene with ketone) to meso-1,2-dihydroxyl-1,2-diphenylethane, and we were also tested with TLC(Thin Layer Chromatography) for purity and also the melting range with special device. It was straight forward in the lab manual, with some guidance of demonstrator and partner, we managed to finish synthesized, purified, tested and written the practical report in 2 hours ^^

Phone degraded

It was just yesterday, when I was transfering photos from my handphone to laptop, I was also updating my handset through the programme and the website. I was so sure that I charged my phone yesterday. And something happened there...

My handphone appeared to be blackout, without any signals and sounds... I was really freak out that time. There's a message mentioned that the updating process was interupted, probably due to battery running out or the cable connection cut off.... But I found it wasn't my cable problem, my handphone just...blackout... I tried to switch on and off the phone, nothing seems to work. I even tried to take out my battery and SIM card and put everything back into position. And... nothing happened... Not even able to switch on the phone. Another message popped up and said it might caused internal damage to the handphone... Well, it wasn't my fault !

I brought it to the 3 customer centre to seek help for repair service. It was under guarantee period, but they still might charged some price... and I was given a loan handphone- LG 8330, which is an old model from 2005.... So.... my handphone was degraded from Nokia 6288 to LG 8330, less function and bad quality of photo capture... >.<

SPM

SPM - Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia ?

SPM - Stud Park Meat ?

3rd week

It's been 3 weeks since the semester 2 started. Everything seems to get tougher and tougher. If we don't have a strong basic on certain matter, we will really far left behind... and it really take a lot of effort and time to catch up. For example in my genetics (biology) lecture, I really gotta constantly understand the principle of inheritance, whether it was dominant/recessive, autosomal/X-linked chromosome, test cross/back cross/reciprocal cross.... and the worst part will always be 'explain'...

Next would be my experimental design & data analysis assignment, which due on next Monday. I still haven't got any clue how to 'explain' in certain questions... until now i still wondering why I took this subject... or perhaps why i took statistics instead of applied maths... I love maths, but statistics? I doubt it...

Physics lab again...

Every wednesday would be a long day for me, woke up at 6.30am, arrived and start lectures at 9am.....study...study... and the physics lab that last for 3 hours till 5pm... I'm really exhausted...

My physics practical should be on monday, but due to bad demonstrator, and I wouldn't want to start my week with a long and boring monday, so i decided to swap it to wednesday, and sacrifice my afternoon session of chemistry tutorial (which i like the tutor, she's the best ^^) and swap to monday afternoon. I arrived early to the physics lab, and confirmed which group will I be allocated. It should be the same group as monday, which is group 1. But it's different demonstrator. Vivien suggested I swap into her group (Group 2) because of her gorgeous sexy demonstrator guy, who she's really attracted :P. But it seems her group was rather packed, so i decided to stay in group 1. Another bored and confused practical report....

Before I left the physics lab, something cute caught my attention.

I guess some people have the same thoughts as me.... boring physics pracs....

Updating in progress

Experimental Design lecture

Second class of this subject- Experimental Design & Data Analysis. It was all about statistics, which is my least favorite part in mathematics. However I gotta do this subject in order to get a chance into Biomedical Science degree. Well, I must do chemistry,biology and physics (>.<) which equivalent to the first year student of BBiomed students.

Gosh...It was so bored... and the lecturer had a strong China accent, which might a bit hard to get what he meant sometimes. One of the most 'lamest' joke i never heard...

Lecturer : Do you all know what is stem & leaf plot?
Students: ....
Lecturer : It is a plot with stem and leaf

swt...swt... =.="

Freezing night

I'm still online in the midnight, it was really cold... even covered with blanket and heater on. Why am I still online in the midnight? For the sake of chatting with friends and watching YouTube (last day for S.H.E. hosting in one of the Taiwanese entertainment show). Check out their last show here.

How cold is it in Melbourne? especially in suburb area where i lived... 2.3 degree celcius at the moment >.<

While in the Melbourne city?

Results released...

After waiting crazily for a whole month, results finally released. I was working at the time where the results were publised to the website, this was really increased my insanity >.< I can't even concentrate on work, even overcooked and over fried the food...

Once I got home, quickly settle down everything, lunch in front of laptop, sit down and trying to relax... Any moment the results page will be up loaded... ... ...

Phew... What a relief for me... All my 3 subjects (Biology, Chemistry and Math) obtained high distinction except for my Physics (which I screwed it up, but luckily get a good marks) got credit... a bit disappointed but I've already expected. Nothing much to said... I can sleep tightly at last...

Desperate Housewives

Whenever we woke up in the morning, till the night when we were going to sleep, eventually we will have a lot of question.
Some question were easy to answer, but some some question were hard to ask, as we were afraid to know the answers...etc:
Is he/she's the guy/girl I truly love?
Is he/she's the guy/girl I wanna be with him/her for the rest of the life?
But there's a question we will always hope for the answer,
that is HAPPINESS !

P/S: Modified + memorized from the end of the story... I always like the end, where u can learn a lot of things in life.

Panda eyes

Insomnia stikes me every night, starting this monday until now.... woke up in the middle night, 2/3 am, and could't sleep at all after woke up, staring celling, counting sheeps(this is the worst method to get into sleep, trust me)... and the next day, panda eyes appeared >.<

I can't belief, time passed so fast, and tomorrow would be my worst day, why?

Semester results going to released tomorrow...

Foggy

After work, my cousin (SL) and my 'big sis' (K) took me to watch movie,Ocean Thirteen ! It was so cool and nice... I really recommmend to watch this movie.

On the way back home, it was around 6 something, and the sky was dark, fog everywhere... I think it's quite dangerous to drive in this condition, cold and foggy >.<



Thanks to SL and K for bringing me out... I'm so bored in this holiday.

听袁惟仁弹吉他

1980年九月十四他从妈妈的肚子跑出来
他应该是带著害羞的表情来到这世界上
不然现在的他不会这么闷这么闷
有够闷有够超级的闷骚
从小他就住在士林区外双溪的山腰上
那里的公车其实不只两辆好吗
只是等公车半小时一小时才来一趟
错过了真ㄉ会让人觉得很慌张
每个朋友都嫌他家太偏僻
第一次去居然还会感到害怕
喔拜托别闹ㄌ
环境优美空气新鲜的好地方
好歹袁惟仁跟他老爸也曾经搬到他家楼下
想一想不是因为胖哥
他也不会跑来玩音乐做音乐
让我唱他写的假hip-hop
其实他的歌都很芭辣
不信可以上他的部落格去听他唱一下
(喂喂 test test
不好意思由於key定的太高
我们的副歌部份呢
就请当家花旦 hebe selina帮忙唱一下
来宾请掌声鼓励鼓励)

Chorus:
啦啦啦 靠著窗听袁惟仁弹吉他
他认真创作的哼哼唱唱
爱情傀儡征服和梦醒了
都变成了主打
靠著窗半夜听著袁惟仁弹吉他
他认真创作的哼哼唱唱
一点一滴筑音乐的梦想就要像他一样

今年的他已经26岁
卖过的歌曲其实用两只手就数得出来
但是他还是爱创作爱音乐爱爱爱
就像对岸很火的那首歌老鼠爱大米一样爱
写歌其实不容易卖歌又要靠运气靠关系
难得最好的歌运气好被公司保留
但保留不一定会用用又不一定会被打
就算变成主打版税可能又会拖拖拖
但是亲爱的朋友你们千万不能放弃啊
你看他写了这么多这么多说真的
没有中的歌曲至少一两百首
成功的背后总是堆积著高高的寂寞
你看我们s.h.e 努力学习写歌多久
如今才能听到我们的创作
音乐这条路很辛苦很寂寞
但是想一想其实我们不贫穷

Chorus

The making of <听袁惟仁弹吉他>

五月天 (May Day)

黄金海岸的岸边 我们肩并着肩
洁净的蓝天 清澈的水面
吻成一条海平线 看你温柔的双眼
弹着吉他的弦 歌词是诺言
旋律是依恋 唱出一首五月天

Chorus:
五月的天 刚诞生的夏天
我们之间 才完成的爱恋
紧握的手里面 有好多明天
五月的天 梦开始要鲜艳
前方蜿蜒 一长串的心愿
我们一天一天 慢慢实现 OH~~~

大雨冲走了昨天 清晨乌云几片
彩虹的旁边 有星星几点
迫不及待在眨眼 海风味道变香甜
沙滩镶满亮片 你哼着永远
我和着不变 合唱一首五月天

Chorus

海浪 拼命欢呼跳跃 一遍又一遍 鼓励我们 看谁先吻谁的脸
为这五月之恋 再添一个逗点 再多的五月天 怕也不够我们沉醉
海燕 身边来回盘旋 扮演着领队 仿佛听见幸福在前面不远
为这五月之恋 再添一点信念 往后的五月天 和你走到比永远还远

19 years old?

HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY !!!

Another year had gone... Time really passed so fast... I finished my first semester, half year gone of 2007, and next year my age will start with 2++... Big boy liao :P

May all my wish come true, especially my results for this semester to be high score, no fail ^^. and the most important to maintain a good health and wealth... lol ..

Marinate

In the kitchen, there have 3 parts of working: marinate, frying+roasting and preparing the burgers. For me, it think that the marinate part was the messy and hard part of all... Due to I'm still a newbie, naturally my speed would be sort of 'slow~'... but still can catch up. It's just that I will messy up the whole place, especially when ur hands (with gloves) covered with the marinate powder, all the containers and the surroundings (floor, table) would be layered of powder... really feel bad, dirty the whole place... and my colleague said it's normal, not as i'm a newbie, but it's the job 'requirement' ...

The powder giving me a sneeze everytime >.<

Part time job

Today was my first day working in my whole life, that's right.... I haven't worked before, not even in Malaysia...not even during the holiday breaks... Perhaps too lazy to work, just wanna enjoy the moment of holiday without doing any work'. Or perhaps I had a mindset that only work after I finish all my studies.

But here I am, after my Friday exam, immediately i got a call from my cousin's friend, asked me whether wanna work in her working place... I actually still doubt about it... It's too soon to work, and without any rest of my mind. Well of course I won't want to lose this opportunity, since I will had a long holiday without doing anything, and earn some money for my next semester and shopping. So without hesitation I said 'YES!'

I had training for 4 hours, the job was quite fun, but might be a bit exhausted. I'm working in a fast food shop's kitchen, not a chef(well,I don't really know what occupation was that, perhaps just called 'chef').

What's my routine? Basically marinate, frying, cleaning... and,
What's the paid? Around AUD$12++ .. not much compared to office work or working in the city...

Muscle soreness

After playing badminton yesterday, my whole body's muscle was so pain and fatigue... and I suffered 'Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness'-DOMS, found this term in wikipedia, which really suit my current condition...

Maybe because I'm not that active in sports, whenever I had major event of sport, for the next 24 hours I will be suffered in deep trouble.. Lack of exercise most of the time, might be one of the factor... Not enough of warm up exercise? might be...

How I suppose to continue with my training tomorrow? By the way I just got my interview yesterday and the manager agreed to hire me, starting on Monday for training... I need to lie down...

Night out in the city

First time i stayed in the city for the whole night. It's really fascinating and fun ^^, especially on Friday night. Let the party begins !

We were celebrating Esther's birthday on Friday. We had dinner in Italian restaurant, drink a few bottles of vodka, then straight to the night club ^^ (hehehe, I always promised them I will spend a night in the city, and here I am )

Me, Vivien, Esther

Yeah, a few bottles of alcoholic beverage. It was so tasty, especially the Vodka Cruiser with blue berry flavour(if I'm not mistaken).

Finish !

At last... after the 4 days of struggling... suffering.. torturing my poor brain...

Finally I finished all the exams in this week... and I'm going to have a long holidays for almost 7 weeks. First time having winter holiday here, and it's so cold >.< How I gonna spend my whole holidays?

Just yesterday my cousin's friend, ask me whether wanna work in her working place, which is kitchen work... I'm a bit hesitate for awhile... haven't been working for the past, and some more it's in the kitchen... She had arranged an interview with her boss tomorrow... I felt like... I haven't been really getting a nice and relaxing day to rest... and it's just so sudden to get a job... Well... maybe gotta think another side... I'm earning money for my next semester's expenses, or even pocket money for CLOTHES !!! Maybe working could get used most of my time during the holiday without spending the whole day at home, watching TV and online...

But for now, I would like to SLEEP ~

Desperate dessert - Chocolate

Aw... Physics this whole night... I'm so tired >.<

I hate physics >.<>.<

Long long night to go... I had already finish one whole bar of Cadbury's chocolate...

Chocolate, the most delicious dessert for all my time... Satisfaction... Irresistible... Tempting.... Argh... I LOVE CHOCOLATE !!!

Royal Exhibition Centre

I'm having all my exams in Royal Exhibition Building from 5th - 8th June.

The Royal Exhibition Building and Carlton Gardens are rare survivors from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century series of international exhibitions, also known as 'expositions' or 'world fair'.
The Royal Exhibition Building, with its surrounding gardens have uniquely maintained their original function: hosting exhibitions and displays through to the present day.

More information in Royal Exhibition Building .

Another Victoria's museum - Melbourne Museum just behind the Royal Exhibition Building. There was a cinema beside the building, IMAX.

Exam

First day of exam, Biology, which is my favorite subject, however its one of the hard subjects that really requires memorization and understanding.. Mo notes were filled with scribbling, highlighting and mind map (tying to link stuff together s it will be easy to remember).

It was a freezing cold morning, temperature was around 8 degree celcius on that moment. I was arrived at the Royal Exhibition Hall around 8.15am, which had an hour more to the exam time. I was sitting in the Carlton Garden, the strong and chilling wind kept blowing everywhere, it was really COLD ~ I really didn't expect that COLD~ But I managed to bring my jacket along just in case (but forgot to bring gloves >.<) The hall was so huge, which could fit around 2000 students at the same time. The hall was freezing as well... Even with a heater above my head, I still felt the chillness of breeze gusting around. My brain seems to be frozen, and I was squeezing my brain so hard until I'm almost collapsed... While I was answering the question, I saw a few girls shivering until so obvious that the whole table was shaking as well.. I'm not joking man...

3 more subject to go >.<

I'm will be gone

I'm will be gone for a while...

For study,
I knew I'll be so screwed up in this semester's exam... I'm still so blur... no idea what had been taught, especially physics... I'm really exhausted in my mind, struggling to memorize and understand the concepts and applications. Jumble up every single formulas or no idea what formulas to used in a single 10 marks question. Memorizing facts are the worst thing... especially in biology where all terms and sequence of steps need to know.

For exam,
Exam was just around the corner, or just one/ two days. It starts at Tue 5th - Fri 8th June. 4 days in a row...

For connection problem,
Somehow my laptop encountered difficulties to connect to my aunt's internet network. I've no idea what's going on... I can connect easily through my cousin's internet network. My wireless network connection indicates high signal strength to my aunt's network, but somehow it shows 'Limited or no connectivity'... Argh >.<

For myself,
Perhaps it's time to control my online routine. Spending too much time in front of laptop was quite addicted, and my room's stuffs were scattered around everywhere... From a neat and clean guy to messy and clumsy ... Well... I will do it after exam :P

Lazy Physics

It's Sunday, sunny day! Family day! Rest day! It's weekend and I should enjoyed myself... Instead tortured myself, trying to 'date' with Physics.

Why do we need to study Physics? It's really dreadful subject for me... It's so abstract... A lot of formulas to remember and concepts to understand and imagine. If you get what it means, then it's fine. But the worst thing was you don't even understand the concepts, derivations... and I'm so lost and frustrated.

Why do I choose Physics?
- to broaden my majoring path in future and gain knowledge (this is the most stupid excuse I gave myself).
- to torture myself and afflict with severe pain of mind (crazy?)

Argh.... I gotta pass this subject >.<

That's all?

It seems that I was just started to study in the first semester, and now it's the end of my 12 weeks in first semester. I didn't realize it passed so fast until someone told me "Today is the end of our semester!". I'm still the blur blur one.... and the most important that I worried and frustrated was, my final exam will be held in the next 2 weeks, starting 5th to 8th of June, 4 days with 4 subjects in a row... I'm so dead >.<

This is the end? I'm still not well prepared... not in my lifestyle... not even started to sit down and concentrate to study... I promised myself to study everyday from the beginning of the semester, however as we all know... who cares?

Cold joke

Supposed that today I went back home with my uncle, however I gotta go for consultation for mathematics. My uncle told me as he went home with the neighbour's son, the boy ask him a question.

Boy: Uncle, how do you make a milkshake?

Uncle: It's so easy boy~ You just need to go to a cow farm, grab a cow and start milking. As you milking, shake it as you squeezed it. There's the fresh milkshake !

=.="

DFO

Woohoo !! Time to shop for clothes !!

It's really been awhile i didn't go shopping (perhaps it's like a century >.<). Everyday just walked pass the Melbourne city which fulled of branded, quality clothes, but no time to actually stopped by and tried it out... sigh...

At last, my cousin decided to took me out for shopping, as she also wanted to bought some clothes foe her ball night. We went to D.F.O. (Direct Factory Outlet) in Cheltenham. All branded clothes can be bought in reasonable/discount price.

A quick introduction of DFO
Direct Factory Outlets (DFO) in Cheltenham Victoria, is Australia's first and largest factory outlet shopping centre, with over 120 individual factory outlet stores all under the one roof.

With many superior brand outlet stores within the complex, our stores range in specialities from: women's fashion, men's fashion, children's clothing, footwear, sporting goods/apparel, homewares/furniture, manchester, jewellery/accessories, lingerie/sleepwear, handbags/luggage, prints/frames in addition to further unique stores catering for your every need.

Shop for almost 4 hours, not until someone said:"It's late, time to go home", I wouldn't stop purchasing clothes, there's so many branded and trendy clothes that can be bought in just a day in one big place. I spent around AUD$120+ for sweater, jacket, t-shirts... Dad gonna killed me :P

Demonstration

Public demonstration never seems to occur in Malaysia, but in Western Countries such as Australia, demonstration seems to be a big thing (especially in university), as the public could voice out their feelings and concern about certain matters. SO VOICE OUT !
As I finish my whole day lectures, I was about to go back home. That day was the demonstration day, which comprise of a few main current issues. I was so blur about it (I'm always the blur one).... suddenly some unknown bunch of people just drag me into the crowd and started to speak out some slogan "John Howard xxxxxx..." , " Melbourne Model xxx...." I'm kinda excited, but i don't feel like doing these things because I was so tired...and I had my own perspective which contradict to their manifestation (well, part of it...).
The Melbourne Model was a major event in the University of Melbourne currently. A lot of stuffs will be changed due to this model, which based on the American style of tertiary education.

"From 2008, the University will introduce landmark educational reforms known collectively as the Melbourne Model. These reforms are designed to create an outstanding and distinctive Melbourne Experience for all students. In moving to the new model, the University is responding to the challenges of today’s changing environment as well as aligning itself with the best of European and Asian practice and North American traditions. The Melbourne Model is based on six broad undergraduate programs followed by a professional graduate degree, research higher degree or entry directly into employment. The emphasis on academic breadth as well as disciplinary depth in the new degrees ensures that as a graduate you will have the capacity to negotiate your way successfully in a world where knowledge boundaries are shifting and reforming to create new frontiers and challenges almost daily. The Melbourne Model is the cornerstone of the University’s broader strategic vision for future development known as Growing Esteem. "

http://www.futurestudents.unimelb.edu.au/courses/melbmodel/

There will be only 6 major undergraduate course starting next year, included art, commerce, biomedicine, environment, science and music. The duration of courses are 3 years, then we can do specialization in certain field you interested. The model really shuts down a lot of courses next year from 50+ to only 6 undergraduate course. However they will slowly reintroduce more profession courses in the next three years. In other words, this year would be the last batch of students in some courses (eg. biomedical science, law...).

But I still doubt whether it would affect my future?

Sneak out at last, took some photos off and went home :P

Windy day and night

Windy for the whole night... and I was unable to sleep well because the horrible wind blown with high speed... spooky sound around the house and the window and doors were banging... Whole week going to be cooling (sometimes cold) and windy, with showers and max temperature of 19-21 degree celcius.

I'm a panda with panda's eyes :P

Tuesday? Worst day !

Tuesday, I just the schedule for tuesday. The whole morning would be tutorials for Physics, Maths and Biology... and during the biology tutorial, I'm not really feeling well today, and so coincidence that they demonstrates the sturcture of heart using the sheep's heart... I felt so gross and not in the mood, and I'm not going to touch that disgusting thing >.< (they ran out of gloves, you can imagine using bare hand to hold and dissect the heart, the stincky smell could last for few days on hands...puke...).

The worst thing of the day was the Physics's practical for 3 hours. Everytime i got into the lab, I'm so clueless about what the practical was all about. Even if I had my pre-reading, I still didn't understand what to do. When it comes to writing report, that's my worst part of it. At first my mind was wondering around what to do... and waste for an hour with any thoughts. For the last half an hour I always rushed my report, just dumped in whatever written in the practical manual book... As they said the practical session in Physics seems to improve the writing skills, it didn't help me well... >.<

What a day... pracs ends at 5.15pm, rushing to Melbourne Central to catch the express train in order to get the express bus >.< zzz...EXHAUSTED !

Labour day in Malaysia... 1st of May... and it's public holiday !

I really need holidays now >.<

The 9th week of studies in university.. and it's MAY...

Biomedical Science? Science?

No physics practical lab today due to ANZAC Day tomorrow (and I will get 2 days holidays because of ANZAC day (wed)& Thursday is my off day).

I'm still doubt about choosing between science or biomedical science degree. Both of them have their own pros and cons. So I decided to go to Faculty of Science to enquire about the 2 different degree. It turns out that the student advisor didn't gave much information about biomedical science and science degree, but she roughly told me about the subjects I need to take for the next semester in order to change my science degree to biomedical science degree. Science degree is a flexible degree as we have more options and flexibility in choosing the subjects, however for biomedical science degree, the course structure was fixed (so as the subjects) and it was for those who already have their mind what to study for the next few years. The title of biomedical science seems to sound more advanced than science degree, and because the structure was fixed, i wouldn't need to think what subjects to take for next year.
Still confuse about it whether to choose which degree, so the student advisor decided to have a meeting with their faculty in order to give me a suitable and clear answer (i wonder they really will have a meeting to discuss about it...).

Due to the Melbourne Model which in 2008, the Bachelor of Biomedical Science will be phrase out. For more information, please visit http://www.futurestudents.unimelb.edu.au/courses/melbmodel/

Building Evacuation

During our biology lecture, which was the first day of another section of chapter and new lecturer. He's 50+ years old i think, but he's quite funny, active and filled with passion in teaching the new chapter.

Unfortunately, we heard alarm buzzing the whole building. We had no idea what's happening, and some of us thought that was a sound effect of the teaching material... However the lecturer told us it was evacuation alarm buzzing. And again we thought it was just a emergency practice for the uni. We 'walked' out eventually. It was a good news for us because we could have extra hour of lunch, and I was hungry already...

A few hours later, I received an email from the university about the evacuation news:

Dear staff and students,

At approximately 10:30am this morning, Monday 23 April 2007, a gas leak was detected in the area around Professors' Walk on the Parkville campus, and the following buildings were evacuated as precautionary measure to ensure the safety of all staff and students:
Baillieu Library, Economics and Commerce, Genetics, Zoology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Howard Florey Institute, Brownless Medical Library, Medical Building, Music (partial evacuation), Babel building (partial evacuation).

All affected buildings have been declared safe to enter by the Incident Controller from the Melbourne Metropolitan Fire Brigade Andre-occupation commenced at approximately 12.45pm.

***ALL BUILDINGS ARE NOW ABLE TO BE OCCUPIED, AND ALL CLASSES CAN PROCEED AS NORMAL.***

The gas supply has been isolated and repair works commenced. Services to the affected buildings dependant upon the gas supply will be restored as soon as possible.The evacuation was a resounding success.

I would like to thank all staff and students who cooperated with the evacuation, especially the Building Emergency Controllers and Floor Wardens.

Regards,
Stefan Delaney
General Manager, Environment, Health & Safety

in the end, the lecturer had another session of lecture which was in the afternoon, and I skipped it :P Nevertheless I gotta do my own notes, refer to the text book, power point slides and the recording lecture from afternoon session. Home study?

到底是那嘴说腿 还是腿说嘴

[Chorus]
