Addicted

Internet addiction creeps up very easily. Since I got my internet here, I started online gaming again. Whole of Sunday, and today... playing online. Ah well... initial period I guess. Hopefully this isn't the trend for the whole semester or the whole year. On the plus side, lectures are getting more interesting, albeit more challenging. More meat to chew on I suppose. I'm enjoying Genetics, Microbiology and Animal Biology. Biochemistry... so so only. It's fine I guess, but fails to catch my interest the way the rest do.

Went to the market for the first time here on Saturday. Lots and lots of interesting things to see there (lots of vegetables too). They had all sorts of food stalls, some craft stalls. I even managed to get 'chang' there. I bought a basil plant for $1 which promptly wilted when I got back. It's back to life now... (I'm crossing my fingers... hoping I suddenly grow a green thumb).

Apparently we're going on a chocolate binge here... barely a day goes by without us eating at least a piece of chocolate here. Hopefully there's no long term side effects. Now if only I can find the willpower....

Back Again

It looks like what I said here has had an effect. No sooner did I post my last post than I got my home internet line activated... no need to scramble for library terminals just to do the most simple things anymore.

Anyway... it's still pretty much the same as last time... I eat, I sleep, I go to class, I survive.

Aside from that... the occasional jaunt to the shopping mall or grocery store... and that about sums up my week.

That's that again. Until next time.

And Again

Well... here I am again. Nothing much just taking the time out to keep typing and make sure that there's something here at least. Can't wait until I get my internet at home so I can go back to surfing the net at home. Was thinking of starting online gaming again... but... we'll see. Anyway, last week was... boring. Highlight: celebrated my b'day on Saturday... and went for pizza on Sunday to celebrate. It was not bad... quite fun. I ate a whole pizza... and then some. Hehe. On Friday night, my housemates suprised me with a cake and candles... but they did it just after I went to bed so I was naturally blur and sleepy. Still it was a nice thought.

Okay... that's it I guess... nowadays very sleepy. Wonder why? anyway... I'm very blur right now... so no idea what to type. Until the next round.

Monday Blues

One more week, one more Monday.

Still in the uni library, using their internet, mine hasn't come in yet... for some weird thing... they said it may take until April . Internet deprivation can be so horrendous.

We've had a okay weekend though. Even though I was dead tired at the end of it. Saturday we celebrated the birthday of a friend of a friend of a sister who we got to know here. Was quite fun. She took us out to this Vietnamese place to have dinner.

Sunday was lazy. Nothing to do. I went out to the city but for no purpose. Wanted to go to the post office but, silly me, forgot it was the weekend and the post office was closed. Went to the craft fair but there was nothing there. Pretty boring. Later in the night though, it got more exciting. Had a pitched battle in Warcraft with my housemates. Lasted at least 3 hours... but I Won!!

Which brings us back to now. Long day ahead. I've got 3 more classes and then a 3 hour lab which means there's the whole of my day gone. Oh well...

And Life Goes On

So... first post from all the way over here. Haven't been able to update my blog or go online at all for the past 2-3 weeks. No internet at home (sad isn't it?) but, thankfully it's about to be solved, internet applications underway and should be up by next week or so. On the plus side, I've got a host of new stuff, new desk (took me almost the whole day and ruined a good screwdriver to fix up), new phone and so on.

Classes have started here in UQ and it's quite fun, some of the subjects at least. It's a different system here than what we're used to back in Malaysia. For one thing the courses here have multiple lecturers per subject. So you never know if the next lecture will be the same or different. It makes it disconcerting because each lecturer will have their own style. Other than that, I'm adapting to life here and doing things on my own. That's one of the things that's slightly harder for me since in Penang, my parents will usually handle most of the things. Still, I'm managing, managing quite well I think (IMHO). No real big problems cropped up yet.

Other than that, things are pretty mundane here. Quite quiet, everything closes at 5 or 6 pm, so can't even 'lepak' at the shopping malls. Mostly stay at home with my computer or go to Uni to 'tumpang' their line like I'm doing now. Chinese New Year was also very quiet. Didn't feel much in the celebration mood because not many people were celebrating it. Still, we paid a visit to Chinatown and saw a few lion dances.

That's basically everything there is since I left... Not one of my better days so I can't think of much to type. Will update when I get my internet connection settled and if I can think of more stuff to say. 'Till then,
