Category: Randomness

*LOL* Can’t help it but it’s really something I never expect would happen to me.

A random guy approached me on the street asking whether I can go out for coffee with him ;p I was walking from Rundle Mall to Rundle Street to meet a friend. On the way there, someone tapped on my shoulder, I looked up and found a tall young good looking caucasian man. Then he complimented my dressing. We chatted for a bit such as where I’m from, how many languages I know, and some random topics. Before we parted, he asked me for my number, I keyed my number in and asked him to miss call me but till now no call from him hahaha… I might have key in the wrong number because I didn’t check before handing the phone back to him. Well… Maybe it’s correct just that he hasn’t call.

Anyway, whether he’ll call back or not, it doesn’t matter. It’s one interesting experience! Never happen in my life! *LOL* What’s the odd of having a handsome young man approaching you randomly on the street wanting to ask you out?!?!

How time flies, I’m here for almost 9 months! WOW! Can’t believe how time flies.

Left: When it was autumn… Nice colour of the leaves but too bad I didn’t bother to take photo of the trees when it bore white tiny flowers and the fragrance filled the air during the trasition from winter to spring.. Now, no more flowers but lush green leaves.

Right: Spring transition to summer… It’s so bright even though it’s almost 8pm.

Both photos taken outside of the computer pool.

Since August, I’ve been spending almost everyday, almost 7 days a week at the computer pool during the day time. This can be considered as my second home. It’s only accessible by those in the postgrad programmes and also spacious in between the computers unlike the other computer pools in the uni. A place exclusively for us to study and relax. At times, you can see students sleeping on one of the sofa lounge. I even heard that those going there late at night would even bring their own blanket and pillow there! It’s open 24 hours, 7 days a week except Christmas and new year holiday (I think…).

This is also a place where I got to know many new friends aside from being a place for me to stream TV series and do my research. Always see familiar faces. Observing many old and new students come and go. It’s a very happening place with all sort of human behaviours but the photos don’t justify it because it’s taken when people are having exams and going on year end holiday break.

I dread staying at home so will go to the computer pool daily even on weekends. It’s spacious and less lonely. Even when I’m the only one here, I feel quite comfortable unlike in my room, so small and looking at four walls even though I do have a view outside the window.

I had my lunches and tea breaks here in front of the computer while doing research and stream TV series ;p

This is going to be the place I miss the most when I go home. This is supposed to be my final second study period, would complete in April next year but now I extended my study and this will be my second home for at least another 10 months. I’m halfway tru’ my study, these are all the study materials I had for the past 8 months, 6 subjects. These are what I kept (presentation slides, study guide, course information, and journal articles), now under my table but I guess it will go into the recycle bin once I’m done with my study here, can’t possibly bring them back to Malaysia.

If I’m not continuing to master, this is really going to be my almost-goodbye-post to my second home. I have 5 more subjects to go instead of 1. Wish it won’t end so soon. Really enjoy my stay here, can I not go home?

It’s the final month of 2011, that’s so fast! Last year this time I was busy with my final semester exam for my Early Childhood Education Diploma and also busy with the procedures of coming here. Now… One year later, I’m here, half way through my programme.

Oh, I had submitted the application to continue to study master here, means I’ll only go back to Malaysia this time next year. About one year to go before my time here is up. Still waiting for the approval. Hopefully will get the reply within this month or before I come back to Adelaide. Had my study plan all planned, if the approval is delayed I will have a bit of problem by then. I sucks in accounting and I need to take accouting to complete the master degree, so I had planned to concentrate on this one subject on the final study period coz I don’t want to fail it or do badly in it. Can only do so if the application is approved before I come back.

Been sleeping late lately -.-” Bad habit. Must try to sleep early after exam.

Will be back updating normally next week hehehe…

Enjoy the final month of December! Scary actually…
