Christmas Decorations at Rundle Mall
Christmas is less than a month away! My exam will be next week. WOW! Done with my supposed final two study period. I had finally submitted my application to do my master, hopefully will get the reply before I head to Korea.
Here’s some photos to share with you, the Christmas decorations found at Rundle Mall.
Must find one day to go to the magic cave at David Jones. Always go to Rundle Mall but always forgot to visit the magic cave. Will pop by tomorrow before heading to work.
The Goody, After Exam Party
Went to The Goody which located at 75 Goodwood Road few days ago with two computer poolers, the rest were too busy with their assignments and exam preparations. Well… It’s should be pre-exam party for us not after-exam ;p Went there because there’s free food (organized by the club of the uni) so decided to settle our dinner there.
The two computer poolers and I ;p
Too bad, we were still hungry because there’s no more food. Luckily at least we got hold of the plate of pizza and not going there for nothing. Was told there should be more coming but nothing after waited for so long, should head there earlier. I didn’t intend to drink any alcohol but ended up drank a bit of apple cider because we were given with it for sampling.
Waited for half hour and decided to go off as I need to go to swim.
Saldechin with The Computer Poolers
*LOL* The computer poolers! How creative!
Last Friday night, we went to Saldechin at 21 King William St, very near my place, near the uni too. It’s a tearoom, restaurant and martini bar.
Went there after spending the day at the computer pool with the usual computer poolers of the postgrad barn ;p I was just tagging along and to chat, didn’t even drink.
I like the place a lot! It’s a nice place to hang out. My friends went there because of the Martini Bar. The martinis cost $10/each. 5-8pm happy hour, we went there at around 6pm. Quite like the interior. The live jazz band was awesome!
The drinks are surprisingly affordable. The environment and the pricing just don’t match but it’s a good thing 😉
Left: The martinis ordered by the girls. I had a taste only, not even a sip, just taste, it’s not so bad but it’s still alcohol hahaha…
Right: Guess this group made up of how many country? Two of them not the computer poolers but both are master degree holders. One from my uni, another from University of Adelaide. ;p
Here’s all the computer poolers from different post graduate programmes of UniSA ;p How many country here?
We left at about 8.30pm. Nice place to hang out with friends. Definitely will go back one day.
I’m So Busy
All right! Another all-text post. Ever since I got the confirmation for Korea short term cultural exchange, I’ve been busy running around getting it settled. Also, in the process of extending my stay here since I will be continuing my master degree which I must get it done before Christmas.
Flight ticket booked. SUPER DUPER EXPENSIVE! What to do… It’s peak season, go figure! Double the usual price -.-” Luckily at least I have about AUD2100 to cover given by both universities.
I’m flying on new year’s eve from Adelaide to Seoul, Seoul to Busan on 1/1/12.
Then flying from Busan to Seoul on CNY’s eve, Seoul to Adelaide on first day of CNY.
Both gonna stop in Singapore, 31/12 and 23/1.
Anyone in Singapore who want to meet up with me? Poor me… At least come and spend first day CNY with me hahaha… I’ll be there on 31/12/11 12-1.30pm and 23/1/12 3-7pm.
This year spent new year’s eve in Singapore. Next year spend it in Seoul then new year in Busan. Sounds exciting hahaha… Even the flight ticket cost is “exciting”!
The quote I got yesterday is not applicable today anymore, the price increased so I had change my return date to 1 day later to get cheaper price but still slightly expensive compare to the quote yesterday. Means I will have to find a place to stay on 21/1 in Busan before flying to Seoul the next day because the dormitory closed on 21/1. Extra money needed again. I have to increase my travel budget again due to this sigh… At first, I thought all I need is another AUD600 from my own pocket to shop/play, then had to increase it to AUD1000 due to expensive flight ticket, now… I think I have to increase it to AUD1500 due to the extra one more day in Busan.
Those of you who had been to Korea, what can I do with AUD1000 there? Any suggestion aside from shopping?
It also means I’m gonna miss 3 classes instead of 2 but I’m not alone because many of my classmates will all be back home celebrating CNY, the lecturers will understand hahaha…
All these while I thought I will be spending my CNY in Korea as I didn’t know when 2012 CNY will be, didn’t bother to check but apparently I’ll be spending it in Adelaide hahaha… It’s gonna be a lonely one coz majority of my friends are going back home for CNY.
That’s all for now. Need to hunt for another job for the coming December holiday so that I can get more money for my trip because I do not have AUD1500, still short of few hundreds. My aim is to use the money I earned here instead of using those money sent by my parents. Will only touch that when I’m really desperate. Don’t think will do any traveling in December as need to save all the money for next year’s trip unless got people sponsor me. In my dream only… ;p
