Happy Easter 2011

Happy Easter! Enjoying your holiday? Australia is having a long holiday in conjunction of Good Friday, Easter, and Anzac Day. Went to Handorf yesterday, spent half the day there. Gonna blog about it soon. Then after that went over to my friend’s bro’s house at the suburb and stayed there for a night.

In the afternoon, we headed back to the city and saw this on the bus so we decided to take a look at it.

It’s an event by Awakening Australia. Recorded the songs, file is quite big. Will try to upload it soon. I still owe you the video of the dolphine in Port Adelaide ;p

Left: The crowd there.

Right: They have free pancakes there. The pancakes were nice.

After that, we headed home. So exhausted! Gonna wake up early tomorrow for the Anzac Day parade. Early night tonight! Good night!

Good Friday 2011

April 22, 2011April 24, 2011 sweet surrender No Comments

It’s Good Friday today.

First thing in the morning, I went to church with my friend, she came to pick me up. Finally… After more than 15 years. Hadn’t meet each other after completing our primary education. It was also my first holy communion in Adelaide. I should have record the choir singing, it was a lovely song.

Then in the afternoon, I went to uni to use the computer so that I can complete one of my journals and also to watch the series I missed.

Just now, I spent the whole night watching TV with another friend sharing pizza and damper.

Going to Handorf tomorrow!!! Looking forward it.

KFC Street Wise

April 21, 2011 sweet surrender No Comments

After visitng Port Adelaide, we went to the nearby KFC for lunch. Believe it or not? I’ve been here for almost a month but I had never eaten KFC even though there’s one downstair the place I’m staying *LOL*

Ordered the Streetwise Double Crunch Burger meal (AUD5.95). It came with a can of Pepsi.

Left: Chips/Fries. I like it, it’s so different from Malaysia’s. The seasoning was a bit too much for me though. Still, it’s OK.

Right: Double Crunch Burger.

There you go… Quite nice, even when it’s already cold. The KFC here is really nice than back home. I heard so much of people saying the KFC here tastes good. Indeed! Finally tasted it.

Don’t worry, I won’t go downstair to get it. It’s still a bit too pricey for me. Not something I can indulge in always. It’s a luxury hahaha…

Slacking

April 20, 2011April 20, 2011 sweet surrender 2 Comments

Ok… I’m slacking now ;p I mean from blogging. Can’t find time to edit those photos and post. Been pretty busy trying to get a hang of my study. Post grad is totally different from undergrad. The workload is pretty heavy. Even though I have only 2 classes per week but the workload can be a one week workload or even more.

Has been very hardworking doing my reading and research these days. I’ve never touch my books like this before -.-” Expectations and requirements are so different. Even go to uni every day to do research and use the Internet but I don’t use it to update my blog. This one is only for when I’m back home. I’ve been getting home late these days(broke my personal record of reaching home at 12am and spent more than 12 hours outside of the house doing study related stuffs), by the time I got myself settled down, it’s time for me to sleep already.

Anyway, I have 5 marketing journals need to do, 1 business report, 2 presentations, and 1 group project. That’s quite a lot for only 2 subjects right?

I remember how I used to be the one who helped my friends with their assignments and projects. I can’t believe now I need people to help me to adapt and teach me research skills here. The skills is different from what I had done back home in previous studies. Good thing, I have friends here who are ready to help me even without me asking. Once I got the hang of it, it shouldn’t be a problem since this is my first time attending a full-time university education, what’s more a level higher than what I had done before.

Long holiday this weekend! Wonder will I be spending it doing research or go out to places of interest?

We’ll see. That’s all for now. Need to sleep.

Port Adelaide

April 19, 2011April 19, 2011 sweet surrender 5 Comments

I met some new friends when I joined the ballroom dancing introductory class. Instantly we clicked. Last week I didn’t continue with the class because need to start paying and I don’t have that money for it. AUD10 a week for two hours. Too much for me. I’m trying to spend less than $10/week for food until I manage to find ways to make some extra money for my entertainment and more food ;p

Anyway, back to this post. One of my new friends offered to take us to Port Adelaide on Sunday but too bad the other friend couldn’t join us so there were only 2 of us.

We met at Adelaide Railway Station and took the 11am+ train. On the train I lost $2.05, most probably it fell out from my coin purse when I took it out which was unzipped! I managed to pick up some coins that fell out but guess I had missed out some. Sigh… I’ve never lost any money my whole life. $2.05 is a lot to me, at least can cover my one day meal(if cooking at home)!

Anyway, going to share the photos with you… Quick post coz need to wake up early tomorrow for early morning class. Many interesting architecture around. Even the signboards were interesting, just like going back in time.

Walking towards the port…

Left: The trees are changing colour.

Right: The lighthouse of Port Adelaide.

Thought of going on the dolphine cruise but after seeing the price, AUD6 per person, we decided to skip and God was probably kind to us… Just as we decided not to go on it, we saw dolphin! No need to go on the cruise anymore and besides it’s not guaranteed to see one too. I did take video of it, will upload it when I have the chance.

Nice scenery, nice weather.
