Today’s date is unique! 11.11.11. Posting this for the sake of posting something hahaha…

This week is busy, coming weeks should be quite busy too. My study period is ending in less than a month! Exam early December. WOW! One last study period to go and I’m done with my program. Haven’t decide to continue or not because haven’t get any reply about the schorlarship.

I didn’t realize today is 11.11.11 because I don’t even know what’s the date today until this afternoon. A friend of mine told me today is the day dedicated to singletons (us) out there and I was like “huh?!?!”. Then he explained and told me today’s date then I realized *LOL* Talking about being so blur these days.

I’m sure lots of wedding today going on back home. At least found out a friend got engaged today. She’s so much younger than me, even younger than my sister! Nowm she’s engaged! Make me feel sooooo stress hahaha…

Anyway, going to sleep soon as need to wake up tomorrow for the Credit Union Christmas Pageant. My first time seeing such event. Christmas decorations are up around Adelaide already, haven’t get the chance to take photos of it yet but will do so tomorrow. How time flies…

Good night!

Posting this post just for the sake of posting because of the nice date.

I’ve been pretty busy over the weekend and this week need to complete my part for my group assignment and a presentation this coming Thursday. Will be busy with more assignments and presentations these few weeks. Exam in a month time. Time flies! It’s November now and 2011 is ending really really soon… Means I’m going to leave this place really really soon too. I’m more than half way tru’ my programme! GOSH! Next first quarter of the year will be my final study period and that’s it. Well… If luck is by my side, I might be able to stay till next year end but we will have to wait and see.

That’s all for now for today. Hope you guys have a great day ahead. My plan earlier today was to at least complete my part for my group assignment and start another assignment tomorrow. However, I didn’t get to complete it so have to continue tomorrow. At least I got more than 60% covered. That’s the wonder of group assignment, you just concentrate on your part ;p

Ta!

Adelaide’s National Parks

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Adelaide’s National Parks

While I’ve been updating my blog recently with some great experiences I had in Adelaide, there are still many places that I haven’t get the chance to go and hope I’ll be able to go there in the near future. Here’s a quick rundown:

Cleland Conservation Park

The largest national park in the Adelaide area, and it’s definitely one of the best places to see native Australian animals. The park is located only 20 minutes from the city. Even though it doesn’t offer many recreation opportunities, it does promise to display wallabies, kangaroos, koalas, waterfowl, emus, and more. These animals are amazing, and at Cleland you not only can look at them, but you can often feed and hold them, too.

I hope I can see real koala soon. You know those online banners, adverstising free phones or paid surveys, that show koalas climbing around the edges? Well, that’s my only experience with them.

Belair National Park

Belair offers a slightly different experience than Cleland. If you’re looking for abundance of animals, Belair probably isn’t the place to go. But if you seek tennis courts, hiking trails, or big grassy expanses to go picnic, Belair is the park for you. It’s also a great place to bring the kids; the park even includes an adventure playground. This would be most first choice destination for a family trip, and it has one more added bonus: it’s not far from the city center.

Morialta Conservation Park

This park is the place to go for hiking trails near Adelaide. Located right near the Adelaide hills, the park has many hiking trails – of all difficulty levels – and an area where you can rock climb. Many of the trails go past waterfalls and look out over the city, which makes them a great activity to do with an out-of-town guest. I hope maybe I will go rock climbing there someday.

I hope you enjoyed my introduction to Adelaide’s natural parks. Also, not forgetting Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary. I’ll be sure to keep you updated if I manage to visit these places.

Such Days…

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Such Days…

I’m supposed to update something but I’ve been pretty busy these days with assignments and trying to keep myself occupied with things instead of spending it in front of the computer.

Last Saturday, I went to attend an art exhibtion launch at the uni’s art museum and had 1 glass plus of champagne and lots of crackers, cheese, strawberry, and apricot. I was the only Asian there. I didn’t expect them to serve various types of alcoholic drinks. Instead of going for the non-alcoholic drinks, I went for the champagne ;p Hmm… It’s just alcohol to me, nothing special, I’m no expert in it. I’m just drinking it for the sake of trying.

Then on Wednesday, another art exhibition launch at the uni’s student lounge. I went there not expecting anything but some food and non-alcoholic drinks just to settle my dinner. Who knows the bar was open and there’s FREE booze available! Hahaha… My friend went for the beer. I thought I’ll just went for Coke but ended up with Moscato ;p We never expect they will serve free alcohol, free flow some more!

I didn’t even drink back home yet I’ve been drinking almost at least once a week here since last month. What’s more… I didn’t even pay a single cent for them. Let me get this straight, I’m just drinking them for the sake of trying different type of alcoholic drinks as an experience because I’ll never have the chance to do so after my stint here. Besides, I do not want to pay to drink hehehe… Same as I do not want to pay for cover charge for clubbing. I never drink more than 2 glasses each time. With all these, I still don’t find drinking is fun simply because I just don’t like the taste of alcohol. So far, I had never got drunk or high or even turned red after drinking. So… It means I didn’t drink so much. Give me fruit juice, chocolate or plain water anytime.

Today, I got an electric shock! WTF! -.-” the universal adapter was faulty, I didn’t know the plug fell off and I accidentally touched the exposed metal on the adapter and got a shock! It lasted for less than 2 seconds I guess but it was a horrifying experience. That’s not a bit of electricity there, it’s directly from the power outlet! I’m so worry that it’ll cause an after effect or something. All I can say is thank God that I’m still here typing this post. My guardian angel is looking after me.

Second last… I’ve been contemplating to do double masters instead of just one master degree so that I get to study 2 years fulltime to fulfill the key PR application requirement *LOL* However, by the time I graduated, the requirements will change again. It’s getting stricter year by year and the 2-year requirement might not hold anymore. Oh well… I’ll just go with the flow, you’ll never know what they change again by then. Worst comes to the worst, go home after I’m done with my graduate diploma. If I’m lucky I can extend my stay to do my master degree. If there’s an opportunity or a strong reason for me to stay back, I’ll take it no matter what! Just the main problem now is money, I don’t have such luxury to stay here for so long and the exchange rate is NUTS!

One last thing… I wish I will be able to see him tomorrow… It’s been weeks. Ever since my shift changed, I don’t see him anymore. I really would like to get to know him. I know where he works, near my apartment but I’m not that crazy or have the time to stalk him! Sigh… I’ve been letting chance go one by one because I’m too shy or I’m always one step too slow in things like this 🙁 HELL YEA! I’m shy! Just because I can get along with guys it doesn’t mean I can get the guy I want. When it comes to someone that I have special feelings with, it’s another ball of game. Need to change, must not be shy anymore. No matter what, I MUST find chance to get to know him before it’s too late.

That’s all for now, time to sleep. Going to work tomorrow.

Rundle Mall Spring/Summer Fashion Parades 2011 (Video 2)

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Rundle Mall Spring/Summer Fashion Parades 2011 (Video 2)

Here’s the second part of the fashion show. The male models.

The previous one was only the female models.

On the other notes, it’s almost 7pm and the sun is still shinning strong, love it! However, the wind is a bit too cold, can’t really wear less. Still have to wear like what I’m wearing in the autumn.

Holiday tomorrow and after that time to go back to full study mode. Still have many pending posts hehehe…
