Hitch
I finally managed to catch a movie! caught Hitch today.. its not a bad movie.. quite funny.. really recommend it to anyone who wants a good laugh and maybe learn how to hook up with girls (mr lim).. haha.. yeah and the trailer doesn't really paint a accurate picture of the show.. Think I shall watch a movie every Tuesday.. cos every other day tickets are an exhorbitant $10.50 for students!! and on tuesdays its only $5.50! But my tuesdays are also my longest school days! 8am-7pm! hai.. Nvm lah.. I think i shall watch Million Dollar Baby next Tuesday!

Weekend
The weekend's over so soon! argh and i haven't done my work yet.. went out the whole weekend.. went to the central market yesterday.. the fruits there were so cheap! bought lots of grapes.. haha.. hope i can finish them.. if not can try to crush them and make wine.. haha.. its quite a cool place and the things there get cheaper as time goes by cos they wanna clear their stock by the time they close, which is like 3pm.. so when 3 o'clock is coming they start selling whole crates of fruits and vegetables for like 2 bucks.. haha.. today went to this HUGE shopping centre which has like 4 supermarkets, 3 department stores and many other smaller shops.. but it was quite far away from the city centre so i took this bus that travelled by this system called O-Bahn.. its so cool! its like this MRT track for buses.. and when the buses get on it, they travel to like 100 km/h.. DAMN COOL! haha.. view from the bus is fantastic too.. shall bring u all on a tour if u all ever come visit.. haha.. then on the way back they were having WOMADelaide at the botanical gardens and they were having this fire display thing which was very spectacular! too bad i didn't have my camera with me.. if they come next year I will definitely go! oh yeah and Clipsal is coming.. where they convert part of the city's road to a race track and they have a car race here.. heard its quite a big event.. so maybe i'll go check it out..

Ponned my first lecture today.. haha.. a few of us wanted to go down to glenelg beach to have a look see but in the end we ended up walking around chinatown.. i have never felt happier seeing char siew and roast duck! and apparently half a duck is only like 6 dollars.. haha.. after almost a week of being here, i finally ate rice today!!! never felt so satisfied in my life.. haha and the place we ate at gave very generous portions.. haha one portion for an australian is like enough to feed 3 of us.. and we only ended up paying like 2 bucks each for a very filling meal.. i think we should eat this everyday.. the only thing about this place is its so damn slack! shops close at 5! even most restaurants! where the hell do people eat dinner! there's like almost no life after 5! and the sun only sets at 8+ so its damn weird also.. too used to the sun setting at 6, 7+.. oh well.. lessons starting next week.. sian.. but at least will have something to occupy my time.. i think i should buy a tv to put in my room.. saw a cash converters here! maybe i could get a cheap tv.. and back to chinatown.. stepping into some of the shops there is like stepping into econ minimart! haha saw Yeo's packet drinks, salted fish, salted vegetables and chu qian yi ding! haha.. boy do i miss home..

I'm so bored! nothing much to do but wait for school to start.. haha.. shops close at 5, do not open on sundays.. oh how i miss orchard! i'm craving for simpang and some milo dinos too will some kind soul please FedEx some over! one kosong one egg please... finally managed to get my enrolment done after some confusion over the payment of my fees.. hai.. so hard to choose electives.. all the electives that interest me always clash with my timetable! i ended up picking Professional English for semester one.. YUCKS!! I mean like, a particular teacher (no names here) essentially killed off any interest whatsoever that i had for english and now i have to do it as an elective that counts toward me advancing to year 4..
argh.. hope i can get more interesting electives in future.. really hope i can get to learn a foreign language.. like jap or french.. haha.. at least i'm doing something interesting in sem 2.. Limb Dissection! yay! haha..
