Aiks... been kind of busy the past few days.

Hey mum, dad and u5! :)

before day 4, We went on a reconnaissance trip to Perth and visited King's Park and Fremantle market.

King's Park a really beautiful place and we spend a good one hour taking pics. lol. u5, show mi and pa photos in the woodrat account of facebook k? FREO was a familiar place to Jayne, Chris and I seeing that we went there the day before as well, but it was an all new place for Sid, Ricky, Jason, and YC.

Then comes day 4 (look at previous post). Dinner - WE cooked pasta! yummy.. very filling... then the late night chats amongst us. HILARIOUS! lol.

The following day, the trio (Jayne, Chris and me) went to Coles for a bit to get supplies - i got slices of cheese which would come in handy once i start classes (just slap a piece of cheese in btwn bread and i'm off!), additional canned food, biscuits (mum, yours is running out of supply ><). OH! then later at night, we had the International Students dinner - provided by the Uni. WE were all split into different groups. Mine was Uluru - it's a sandrock in Australia. (pls google it if you don't know what i'm talking about). Dinner consisted of chicken, A big bun, salad and drink - all served to us in buffet style. Played a few games and there was this girl in my group named, "yin". (O.o) it feels weird la u know? we had to make make a model out of aluminum foil of what represents Australia the best. Our group wasn't really creative.. -.- but we attempted to make the Australian flag. I rolled the stars into shape :D well, sorta.. Other groups had surfer dudes and all. We were all in awe... *.* Anyways, Come Feb 13, the trio had cereal for brekkie. I think my milk was a lil bit spoilt cos I remember rushing to the loo an hour after that >< style="font-weight: bold;">Feb 14, 2008
Valentine's Day! -Jason, YC, and the trio went to IKEA for the very first time - It's huge! (it's Thursday so most shops open till 9p.m.) Shared salmon and sandwiches plus drink and an Almondy Daim (they hv the cake in Malaysia too)= all for aud5.50. Dinner – I’m not really sure but I think we cooked at Chris’ place – i brought my newly bought cheese with two pieces of bacon – if i’m not mistaken that is.. Can’t remember what we had for dinner that day.

Had breakfast in the Village – sausage sizzle they call it – to welcome the international and other students who come to the Village for the first time. The cook was a Chinese uncle who prepared a variety of foods such as ‘kish’, samosa, spring rolls, chicken wings, and pork balls (these were good!). After that, the trio headed for Uni to have a look-see of the clubs and societies which were promoting around the Uni. Chris and I got free cotton candy – we shared one cos it was humongous! (and it was FOC! Lol :p) I signed up for Anime Club – every Sunday i get to watch free anime from 1.30 – 5.30 p.m. They haven’t emailed me on anything yet.. hmm... I hope they don’t con me... -.-‘’

For dinner, ate rice with potatoes+carrot+pork strips and pak choy with oyster sauce. Mi! I can cut veggies very well! hehe.. Jayne says i'm her official "cutter" - i know there's a term for it but i can't remember it ><><). The actor’s pretty cute :P and the story is actually pretty well crafted aside from the fact that they never explained how the guy Jean-Baptiste, found an ingenious way of preserving human scent by using animal fat. It was never explained! Jayne was quite disturbed, Chris was disgusted and I was, well, still trying to figure out how he knew how to use animal fat ><

It’s Jason’s birthday! Happy Birthday Papa Bear :D Had a surprise cookout and a lil party for him at his place. Initially, the plan was a bit messed up but thank goodness for the girls’ cover up/ back up plan, it all went well. He was surprised as hell! Haha.. WE had pizzas (thawed+baked), wedges+ fries (fried and grilled), fizz and we bought him a chocolate mud cake as well as little ‘thoughtful’ gifts. Hehe.. He loves them :D

After dinner, we all sat in front of the laptop in the living room watching Russell Peters. OMG! He’s hilarious. Somewhat like Pablo Francisco. Then watched Mr. Bean’s Holiday whilst Chris and Jayne fell asleep midway, I was still up and about watching it. It was an okay movie.. Not THAT hilarious.

Feb 17, 2008

Yi Chian awoke us with her, “LADIES, Time to wake up!” at approximately 7 a.m. – we agreed to go check out the 2^nd hand flea market with her at Kardinya today @@. I didn’t really sleep well. I think I miss my bed at the Village (-.-). Sluggish, the trio arose onto their feet like zombies. We took turns to shower and Sid came with us – our escort (:D) Ricky changed his mind and said that he wanted to sleep summore.. It was chilly for a while then the sun rose and we started sweating – THAT’s how bad the heat is here.

At the 2^nd hand flea market – They’ve got really good stuff here Mi. Better than the 2^nd hand bazaars we see in Malaysia. All the items are in good condition, some almost brand new. Chris bought the most stuff. I saw books and magazines for $0.50 each~ so i bought 3 (inclusive of paper craft mags :D) After that, We all popped in to IGA SUPA – the only supermarket which opens 7 days a week from 7a.m. to 9p.m. – so the stuff are abit pricey. Where there’s demand, prices would certainly go up. But only certain items were pricier than Coles and K-Mart. I looked through the chocolate bars, the Cadbury ones, and they’re seemingly cheaper than the ones I saw at Coles. It was only $2+ here whereas at Coles it was $3+.

YC called (when she was walking with Sid back to their place cos Sid had to do his ‘business’) and told us to hurry cos it was already drizzling.

Back at their place, Sid was nice to make everyone breakfast with the lamb slices he bought at the halal market the day before. He gave everyone two pieces each (T_T) it was really good with the mayo and cheese gratings. *lick lips* Thank you Sid! He even cut fruits for us to eat after that.

Went back to the Village and my flat seems like a disaster –In one word, I was DISGUSTED. I was contemplating for a good hour whether or not i should enter the kitchen at all to cook myself lunch. I couldn’t stand it, so I braved myself to wash the pots and pans lying around and THAT WAS IT. I couldn’t even touch the plastic containers lying around with food stuff inside cos they had an awful stench. Took ‘gambar’ in case I need them.

The worse was, I didn’t know how to operate the stoves. Too complicated for me.

Thank goodness for the BBQ dinner provided by the Village. At least I didn’t have to face the kitchen again ><>

I can dance! Hahahaha.. i think it’s a natural talent for most girls to move to the music. Had a good 2 hour work out on the dance floor (in the Village REc Room) with my friends. WOOHOO! Awesome!

Went back to my flat and there were more people coming into my flat to drink and yak n stuff till the wee hours of the morning..

Feb 18, 2008.

I sluggishly get out of bed – sleep wasn’t very good cos of the noise of drinkers n my room is just next to the common area @@. I need ear plugs..

Anyways, I already listed down the stuff I needed to do today. Met J when I came out of my room and asked him how to operate the stove and I brought up the topic of cleaning up and he said they would do it, no worries. I also mentioned that I cleaned some of the kitchen utensils but I didn’t dare clean the plastic containers cos they stank like mad. He said that he understands how it feels to be the one cleaning up and all. (thanks J!) I’ve spoken my peace!

One of the items on my list was to go check up on my report about my towel rack! It’s been almost two weeks and Koga isn’t doing anything. UGH! So I wrote my report again for the 3^rd time, this time omitting the chunk of wood protruding out of my drawer cos it wasn’t necessary. Went to collect my mail too. N i’ve got my PIN numbers for my bank accounts. Will check them with Chris later when I meet her at UNI.

Aite, will update when I get back :D

Came back from class and Malte (i think this is how his name is spelt) told me that a snake entered the flat.. and so did a redback spider! (two of the most poisonous beings in Australia *faints*) he even took a picture of it!! WAH!! it's not huge but it's slithery and small... and he and the other guys started cleaning the stuff and all and sprayed their rooms and all. I didn't bother spraying my room... OH! n met this indian guy who stays in room 1 - Nithil. I think he's from India.. his accent seemed pretty strong.

Dinner - had economy rice! WAH!! the chicken portion was massive! aud6. not bad eh? n i think it'll last me for quite a while.
Finally changed my pre-paid plan.. so now i'm getting a better deal. Will buy an IDD card just in case yea Mi?

Till tomorrow!
