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...
