A Bit Here And There in Adelaide

whoa, time passes super fast in adelaide, at least i think so. it has been 3 weeks plus since i touched down here. i'm pretty much adapted to the weather and people here, but there's still room for improvement of course heee! and i get less homesick now...
classes will be started on this monday, seriously i can't wait to resume my study life again, as i've been study-less for around half a year prior to this. urgh, hope my brain is still able to function well =P

i only have 2 subjects this sem, which are molecular and structural biology III (biochem3000) and genes, genomes and molecular evolution III (genetics3111). although it's only 2 subjects, but it's the practical sessions that use up most of the time. 5 hours for biochem pracs and 4 for genetics...phfff.
one thing i realised abt the students in faculty of science, especially the white guys, they are certainly not nerds! most of them look like those surfer dudes, quite yeng also. muahahaha!

i know i've been slacking in blogging recently...so most of the things aren't up to date at all. AT ALL. LOL.
well, let me recall what i've did so far...

been having movie nights for a couple of times here in the village, the common area has to be booked if we were to watch movie there. so far i've watched the transformer, shutter, the curious case of benjamin button and underworld 3 there. basically that are only 3 things we can do in the common area, watch movies, pool and pingpong. oh ya, there's also a tv there which can be used to play Xbox.

hmm, basically after the Glenelg trip, we had a BBQ lunch in our village, which was the usual sausages and soft drink thingy again. the purpose of this outing was let us to know the residents in the village lor. the new and the old one.
that following week was just attending orientation and stuff, nothing interesting.
we went to Victor Harbor on the friday and it was...err, tiring? on the way to Victor Harbor we stopped by the Urimbirra Park and yea, i saw kangaroos and koala bears! whoooo~

50 cents for the animal food...

Short beaked Echidna!

-one of 2 eggs laying mammals, the other being the platypus, use their snout and long tongues to lick up termintes and ants

koala bears~
kangaroos shitsssss everywhere!
Victor Harbour

then 2 days after that, had a trip to Port Adelaide and the dolphin cruise. oh boy, i should have listen to my senior, it was indeed quite...boring! the dolphin cruise was like 1 hour and 45 mins long and i've only got to get a glimpse of the dolphins for like...5 seconds?? urgh! not to mention that the sun was extremely bright and hot that day too, i got sunburnt after all =(
bad...bad experience...maybe we chose the wrong timing to go.

Port Adelaide market..
Jellyfishesssss!

O' week started on the 23rd, and only then it feels like the real orientation cuz it involved not only the international students, but also the locals. the orientation here was sooooo much fun and cool compared to those back in malaysia. they had lotsa interesting programs and activities to suit different people. me of course, cannot miss out the fun also la..
Saw Jeremy during the faculty of science welcome session (something like that), after that both of us went to the BBQ again (specially for science students)
hehehee, then the fun began soon after that, we went for freebies hunting! actually it seemed like i was the one hunt for freebies la, he only accompanied me =P
one of the freebies was actually a condom lol..i also managed to grab a pack of tampons when he renewed his AUU membership HAHA!
condom and tampons =P

yesterday night was the opening for Adelaide Fringe Festival. actually i don't really sure what is it about, but it looks like this festival is a hype here. since i'm here in adelaide, might as well go and see what's it about.
was actually planning to go there by tram, too bad the tram was tooooooo crowded so we decided to walk there. sigh.

oh no...only then i realised actually adelaide can be quite a happening place also! despite having countless of nearly life-less nights here which causing me thinking that people here are sooooo...un-happening lol. for the first time i saw CROWDS in adelaide city, summore at night! it feels like a fun fair to me though...but back in malaysia usually people don't really drink alcohols in fun fair. but here, literally every single soul drinks.

for the very first time, traffic jam in the city..

for the first time, crowds in the city

too boring d, let's camwhore..in front of the state library

basically did nothing there except for some photo capturing, camwhoring and observed how those drunkards behave. i remember one of the drunkard actually jumped in front of a moving car and shouted:"STOPPPPP!" and then followed by "SHIIIITTTTT!" summore with some funny hands gesture. hahahahaha! laugh my ass off nia!

p/s: meet up with Eelin a few times since she came back. it was really fun hanging out with her =D thanks for her, now i've more collections of camwhoring pics...lol...and don't forget our new taglines! "you skinny little thing" lol...
