They're not really in running order, more like from night to morning.

"What is this?" you think. It's literally a bunch of little kids flinging themselves up an down on a trampoline. A very amusing sight.

An anti-biohazard sterilized syringe containment chamber.

It's a perspective thing.

Nothing much to comment about

And your favourite queues just got longer.

That restaraunt is owned by satan.

4th day

Looks like Blogger doesn't like australia. Pictures still can't be uploaded.

Ah well, let's talk about food then. I had Laksa at UNSW today. Of all the many types of food available, I chose laksa, and apparently i made the right one. The bowl that i got contains about 3 times the stuff than that in Singapore, and it's pretty evil-looking. No, it's the creation of the devil. One mouthful of it made me start crying and my nose started running and i started sweating after a few more. There were dumplings in it as well, but the whole thing cost 7 dollars? Worth it? I think so. I wasn't the one paying anyway lol :P

In australia, there's an extremely varied selection of food to engorge yourself with, there's italian, fast food, really cheap chinese(but really tasty), Greek, lots of kebab stalls, and many many more. if your wallet happens to be particularly fat at the time, try that gourmet italian or Japanese family-owned restaraunts and you'll never go to pastamania or sakae sushi again. If not, you could go to one of those pubs and grab a 7$ steak.

Oh, and the coffee is good.

Day 3

3Well, wouldn't you know it. The internet's bein a bitch today and keeps crashing whenever i try to upload pictures. guess there wont be pictures today then. Basically, I went with my family today to some cafe overlooking maroubra beach, and my my, the Big breakfast is really HUGE. It came with roma tomatoes, some scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, a damn long sausage and a pile of pan-fried mushrooms. Simply divine. Had a Hot chocolate with it, the creamiest i've ever tasted.

Then we went over to the city, and i noticed a few peculiar-looking license plates, especially one which said "DICKY". Then some woman got in the car and drove off in it. While cruising around, we saw a procession of korean people marching around in the middle of the road. "korean christian association" the banner said. Or something like that. Dunno what it was all about.
Then to the arts museum, it's changed quite a lot since my last visit a year ago, there's lots of surrealist pieces, just one look at one of them will fry your bran while you try to interpret it.Go google "surrealism" and "salvador dali" if you can't visualise what i'm talking about.

Next, to darling harbour. Nothing much of interest there, except a yellow box in the toilet which was meant for the "disposal of used syringes". the drug problem in australia must be really bad.
The final destination of the day was chinatown, it's not like part of australia at all, it's more like hong kong if you ask me, with lots of aussies walking around.

Australia!

On thursday: Went to school, went home at 5. boarded the bus to the airport at 6 and flew off into the sunset in the brand new A380. About 7 hours of Feeding Frenzy, Zuma Deluxe, Hitman and Rush Hour 3 later, I find myself in Sydney, Australia!

The weather's really nice here at the moment, its like walking around in an air-conditioned mall, or like walking around outside in Singapore right after rain, just that it's not so humid. In fact, it's really dry and i keep needing to apply moisturiser to my skin or i'll just shrivel up and die.

My mum and dad dropped me off at my sister's place (who is currently in uni) and went off to settle other business. It's a pretty cool place, 2 level house, shared by 6 people, and her room is pretty nicely decorated with posters of crazy jap. bands and drawings of her pet budgie.

Then i got to meet 2 of her friends, very nice people, Aussies really have a nice sense of humour, very much different from that of singaporeans. I joined them for lunch and a tour around UNSW and had a great time. it's nice to hear some proper english being spoken.

Oh, and the air here is really CLEAN. Devoid of weird and unpleasant odours and smells, except when we walked past this house which smelled of fart. Other than that, Australia is really a nice place to live in, if you can cope with the silee at night.

Gotta go do Bio HW now. Moar updates comin up

It was a typical day at school...

Meh. TPJC is a slackhouse. Everything is disorganised and lotsa people are queers. Good thing is there isn't much homework, which leaves time for studying. Which I'm gonna do tomorrow. Lol. because Guitar ensemble ended at 7 pm today. At least they were kind enough to buy pizza. Phree dinner is always welcome.
So far it's been pretty fun at guitar ensem. Met a few new peeps, and the class is sorta slowly getting together. Only thing left is to sort out all the chaos about buying new files and shit like that. Seriously, even SR is more organised.

The Longest Day

Finally! Got the Jumper soundtrack. Love the theme, it gets your adrenaline going and your fingers tapping.

Joined Tedric from TPJC to go for his maths tuition at some dude's place which is a 5 min. walk away from mine, and stayed there for 5 1/2 hours, doing partial fractions. Finally I've mastered the damn topic. About time too, else i'll be swamped with incromprehensible H2 maths flibbertigibbettiness.

Immediately after that, went with my parents for dinner at the Marriot Hotel, I went for the buffet, and man do they make awesome desserts. Near the end of my meal, some person came over and asked in a sweet lady's voice whether I was finished with my plate of food. I said yes and then this huge hairy arm came into view. Immediately I looked at the person and it was some large burly Indian guy. Scary.

Going to mug with Hong Aik again tomorrow.
