Gold Coast...

Today, went to pacific fair at gold coast... Saw these cute tweety bird little handbags at warner bros... Met up with the girls we went to Byron Bay with as they were there shopping for pink outfits to go for the pink party at Brisbane... After that they followed us back to Brisbane... I didn't go to the party but one of my housemate went with them...

Holiday wednesday...

When for driving lesson, instructor said that today was a good drive and if i could be consistent like that then i should be ok for my test... I hope so too... I book all my time slots for practice every week till test today so i won't have book every week... Never go out today...

Tuesday...

Its Tuesday already and i haven got much work done... Went gocery shopping with my housemates... Am still stuck on week 3 of IMC lecture since yesterday...

Easter Monday...

This morning, i and my housemate Xinyi went to Toowong to have lunch and buy some gocery... We thought fastfoods should be open but to our shock Macdonald's not open so we head to laksa hut but on the way we saw this new restaurant in orange and white colour and decided to try it out... To our disappointed, the food turn out vv yucky... I am not someone with vv picky taste for food... But its so bad that i say its not nice... My usual comment on food is ok... After the trip, we indulge ourselves with TVB drama The Last Breakthrough for the rest of the day...

Easter Sunday...

Shops in boring brisbane are not open today... I thought I was going to go on diet today or die of hunger... Ok usually people will die of dyhydration before dying of hunger... So dying of hunger doesn't make sense... Finally, I and my housemates found food at indooroopilly but shops are all closed... Depressing right??? Now let's have a look at what i had for lunch and dessert at milton after lunch at Indooroopilly...

The week before easter break: Saturday...

After a tiring trip to Byron Bay yesterday... Ok it wasn't that much tiring as i wasn't the one driving... But i didn't have enough sleep the past few days... This morning i was waken by some weird people who decided to blast their music at 11 am in the morning... It got on the nerves of some people living upstairs and they started to shout at their top of their lungs at the weirdos... Finally, they soften the music but after a while they tune it up again...

In the afternoon, i and Xinyi accompanied our friend, Sulin to city beach one day sale at the city... We saw a few fimiliar faces like lisa, gen's friend from Ispwich and our housemate Da Ge there... He was there entertaining his group of gold coast friends who we went Byron Bay with yesterday... They have came down to brisbane to make/check their cars as they have a friend who is a mechanic... While bringing their teacher from singapore around sightseeing and shopping...

The week before easter break: Friday...

I didn't really wanted to go on the trip as i wasn't much keen on swimming at the beach... But in the end, i decided to go along for the trip as this is my last semester and if i don't go now i don't know when will i ever get the chance to go... Byron Bay is about 2 hrs drive from gold coast... Anyway, we went out of the door before 11 am but got there at 3 pm noon cos we were caught in a mightly traffic jam... The car was going less than 10 km per hr...




After reaching there, we went to the lighthouse... The parking at the light house cost us $6 per hr...



I saw dolphins...

Then proceeded to the beach... As the others went to go to the sea to have some fun... I and Xinyi who weren't that keen on going into the sea went shopping around but it was almost the closing time for the shops. Byron Bay being in New South Wales is an hr different from Brisbane... Then we decided to have dinner there, before which we saw a cake shop and a chocolate mousse cake caught our eyes... We bought the cake for $26...



During the start of the journey towards home, suddenly i heard a "TONK" sound...
I: What's that sound?
Xy: Maybe is the car rim drop.
Da ge: Cannot be but never mind (continues to drive)
I: But i heard the sound from the roof.
Xy: Maybe its bird shit.

Suddenly, Da ge is in all panic mode... He went searching around everywhere... Then he said it might be my handphone... Now everyone in the car is in panic mode and starts searching everywhere for the phone... I find it kind of weird that he actually left his phone and wallet on the roof but he remembered his wallet and not his phone... We went in 3 cars and we were the 1st car, the ones behind also never saw the phone on the roof... But maybe it was dark as we left about 9 plus...After confirming that it was the phone and the car is in a mess now after the big search... We U turn and went back to the spot where i heard the "TONK" sound and search for the phone... Both of them went to look for the phone while i stay put in the car.... After a search of 15 mins and few meters away, the phone is finally found...



Then we proceed back to Gold Coast his friend's place for a while before we return back to Brisbane... Unable to withstand the temptation of the cake we each had a slice before going into dreamland...

The week before easter break: Thursday...

Tiring day today, I decided to get all my participation for PSYC 1030 research all done before the holidays... In the end, i manage to do 5 out of the 6 i had to do... Cos i haven found another interesting research that i have the available timeslot for... I got up at 8.30 am today to go for the 2 researchs that i have signed up for... The other 3 had been done in the previous weeks... After a break of one hr i went back to uni to attend a talk about careers for about 35 mins and its not vv informative cos i already know about the things she is talking about... Wasted the time...

After that, together with Lisa and Rain i went to student union to get Da ge (meaning elder brother aka my housemate) a student diary... This morning he saw my diary and said that he don't have one and also want one and since i was going to uni, i decided to grab one for him... Then we accompanied Rain to the refractory for some lunch... After i return home, Xinyi was back from her driving lesson...

Both of us waited and waited for Da ge to finish his lesson so that we can go out for lunch... Finally, he came back but our lunch is already ready to eat... But in the end we abandoned our lunch and went out to chermside which is about an hr away from home... Its a big shopping centre but u can get all the shops in the city or indooroopilly... After lunch and some shopping we return home...

For dinner, my lunch became my dinner... At 9 plus, I and Xy accompanied Da Ge out to look for his dinner... 1stly, we went to top up the car's petrol as he is going to byron bay tomorrow which is after gold coast and before sydney in the capital of New South Wales...After that he wanted to go to Toowong kebah shop to grab a bite but it was closed then we decided on KFC at woolloongabba but it was a footy nite and there was jam so we can't go there... So we headed back to Hungry Jacks at Taringa but it had closed as it is now 11 plus... This is so typical brisbane u can't find anything to eat at night... We ended up at Dimino's pizza... Finally when we got home it was almost 2 hrs later...

The week before easter break: Wednesday...

Finally, today manage to sit at the last row instead of having to hold my poor little head when sitting at the 1st row... Weird, i realised that today there are vv few people are at lecture... Maybe she is too boring as people started leaving after she finish 2 pages of the 6 pages of slides... I was a good girl and stayed till she finish thou i don't really know what she is talking about... She gave this example about where she used to work but she seems to need to think vv long before she could tell us the story... My long awaited amazing race ep 4 is up after a week but its taking vv long to get downloaded :( ... Today was suppose to be the final day of school till after easter break... But i still need to go to school tomorrow to participate in 2 researchs so that i gain another 2 pts to my PSYC1030... That's 5 pts in total plus the 3 others i have done... One more pt and i get the 6 free marks...

To driving... I book my driving test for next month end decided to have a go at it... Today's lesson wasn't bad... I could do 2 out of the 3 u-turns i was suppose to learn... I really don't understand why they should test us on U-turns cos i really dislike it... In sg, we are only tested on the nice u-turns and not 3 pt turn... As u might have guess the one i can't get it right is 3 pt turn that's why i grumbling about it hahaha... So embarrassing... I was stuck in the middle of the road doing my 3 pt turn and two cars are coming each from one side... I was like the meat stuck in the middle of the bread... And what's worst was my 3 pt turn turn out to be a 5 pt turn... Instructor also said that i am not vv good at judging when i can change lane... Cos i am a scardy cat when i see the cars coming... Guess these are the two main pts i have to improve... Guess ur might not see me changing much lanes on the road if i manage to drive a car... Oh on the way back home, i saw an accident where a car's front side was smashed and there were police and ambulance at the road towards toowong...

The week before easter break: Tuesday...

Started the day with PSYC1030 lecture, the 2nd lecturer actually made a mistake in the slides... He talks a lot and i have to write he slides and write what he says... Last week he did 5 slides for an hr... Amazing how long he could talk for each slide and its not that he goes vv slow like an old man... Today he was reading this eg and it was really funny as it was written by a girl but he goes this is a newer example:

"Last month I did something completely out of character and approached a man I was interested in. We talked the night away. We made out like a pair of teenagers. We watched the sun come up. All this even though he told me right away he was involved with someone else and had been for several months."

And the whole class started laughing and he explained that it was an example he got somewhere else and its not him... It got us all wondering if he's gay... Hahaha...

After this is IMC lecture, today Xinyi (Housemate cum coursemate) is later than me i went in and didn't see her usually she is quite early as she doesn't have lessons in the morning... Suddenly after the lecture started for about 1/2 hr,(If u didn't know my lectures are 2 hrs long)there was this beeping sound sounding... Its the FIRE ALARM... but everyone was still sitting there waiting for it to go off then after a few seconds we realised that we have to get out so everyone gets up and takes their things with them... Don't everyone know that u weren't suppose to take anything with u??? But i also took my stuff with me haha... Cos i was afraid the lecturer may say ur may go cos of the fire alarm as i have just read from my friend's blog yesterday that while she was having lesson the fire alarm went off and she got the lesson was cancelled... We weren't that lucky, after a few minutes our lecturer says that we can get back to lessons and there goes on our IMC lecture...

After that as usual is Organisation design tut so lucky that i decided to bring textbook today cos the tutor split us into 3 groups and ask us to ans the 2 tut qns this week... I and my housemate haven read the article and haven got much of the idea about what's the ans... But luckily we got a smart pants in our group and he did most of the answering... I think he must have think that these 2 girls are just dumb... We are not dumb, we are just not prepared becos we have presentation for IMC after this...

IMC presentation wasn't too bad... it turns out that we have a number of coffee drinkers in our class instead of another class that our tutor said got none... We did a qn on ground coffee targeting uni students as their secondary market... We end the day by going coles... Now i am in front of my laptop typing my blog hahaha... ;)

The week before easter break: Monday...

After participating in 2 easy research to gain 2 marks out of the 6 marks to my total for PSYC 1030. The 3rd research is the hardest... The 1st 2 researches makes up by colour matching words and seeing which letter appears in the box at fast speed... This 3rd one i have to do a questionnaire and put my hand into this freezing cold water till i feel pain or can't stand the cold then repeat it again... After this research is done my poor right hand is freeze till it looks like a lobster or i just had too much of a suntan during the weekend as today is monday...

Ok the researcher was kind of cute with these pretty blue eyes and he sound really nice only minus pts will be he never shave his facial hair properly to give him a clean cut look i think he will look much better with a clean cut look... As the timing for research was 11-12, he says that he is going for lunch later but poor me have to go for class and it happens to be boring biz policy lecture and tut...

Then to interesting PSYC tut where the nice tutor gave us easter eggs and for the next tut she says she is give us freddos chocolates isn't she nice? After i finish, i went back home and had lunch... Then together with my other housemates we clean up the house for inspection on wednesday... Dinner was at Sunnybank but i had bubble tea instead of dinner cos i was still full from the vv late lunch at 4 plus... Day ended with discussion for IMC discussion presentation tomorrow...

Hungry Jacks breakfast...

Got up at 9 plus to go for hungry jacks breakfast... Had pancakes, hashbrown and tea and it cost aud 6.70 more expensive then sg and its not as nice as macdonald's...

After that we went to walk around, while Liwen and Gen went back we went to catch the movie the pacifier at southbank... Movie is about the same price as singapore as it cost us Aud 5.70 per ticket at student concession for weekends and Aud 5 for weekdays... The movie was quite funny and nice but we found that there are lots of children watching that we think we are in the wrong cinema... Cinema was totally pack that someone have to sit at the steps... I guess this is what happens when u aren't given seat numbers like sg, as australia is free sitting... Luckily, we were early and manage to get a good spot...

After the movie, we went to walk the saturday southbank market... I helped mummy to find the leather bracelets and necklace she wants but to no available...

So we walk back to city, where we had pizza and potatoes... Pizza original price was 5.50 was cut to 3...Then we decided to go to chinatown to stock up on noodles...

We thought of taking the city loop bus for free to chinatown but when we reach the bus stop we realise that it only operates on Mon to Fri till 5.50 pm... So we took another bus to Chinatown... I still can't find my 3 in 1 milo... Don't know why this semester cannot find... Few weeks ago, we bought a kind of sichuan noodle that was really nice and we are finishing it... When we went there, we found the same noodle but of another brand and found many varieties of chu qian yi ding... Bought a few other kind to try...

After a day out, i am now back at home...

Wednesday...

We decided to go early for today's lecture so we won't end up with sore necks every week after this lecture... Cos we have to sit in the 1st row if we are on time... We were to go out of the door at 9.40 am but Da ge says that he is also going to school and would give us a lift... That was a bad decision as when we reach the uni we can't find a parking lot and he have to park illegally cos he is late and we also end up having to walk vv far and late... We decided that getting a lift wasn't much of a wise idea after all... We had lunch then Xinyi went for her lesson in uni and i went for driving lesson...

Monday...

Today, i went for another research for PSYC 1030 again and that's 2 marks to the total of 6 marks... After that had biz policy lecture... For tut, today happens to be our group discussion presentation... Then to PSYC 1030 tut, where i learn not to let my future offsprings under the age of 8 to watch too much violent shows as it will influence them to be more aggressive and prone to violent behaviour when they grow up... It is found in a study conducted years ago...

Then meet up with biz policy group for discussion of case study... XY sms me the wrong level its 2 and she sms me level 3 so i thought she mistake 4 for 3 so i went to 4 and called her and found that she is on level 2... After that Xinyi, Liwen and Gen went jogging where i went along but to sit there and do a reading for tomorrow lesson while watching their things... While liwen was running... XY went home to put our things... Cos liwen was vv hungry... We went to toowong for dinner... Afterwhich, we took 412 to school then took the safety bus home where it send us our doorstep and safe us from walking from the bus stop...

Group Outing...

Today, i been out for more than 12 hrs... Went to school to catch the bus to indooroopilly to meet liwen and lisa to head to Sunnybank for dim sum at 10 am... After that 4 of us caught a bus to go Sunnybank, after a 40 mins ride we finally reach... This is what we had for dim sum...



After that we went to have bubble tea and find some goceries... After that we head to the city for some shopping... I bought 2 tops... Then we had korean dinner and headed to chinatown for desserts... When we return its after 10 pm already...

Chinatown...

Met liwen at city then head to chinatown and went gocery shopping after having lunch... After all is done we return to the city to search for 2nd hand bookshop to sell some books but can't find any cos we forgot to check out the street where it is located...had bubble tea after that then we return home...

Last day of lessons for the week

Went to a boring lecture, the lecturer actually says that if she doesn't have notes she can talk up to 5 hrs on the 1st lecture...After that, had lunch at hawken and return to school to participate in a research to gain a mark for PSYC1030 nearly can't find the place cos i never been there... At night, we went to westend to have beef noodles for dinner... Today, is also the last day for lessons for the week... I am having thurs and fri off...

2nd Day of School...

Went for PSYC 1030 lecture, vv interesting... The lecturer told us that her sister doesn't like violence so she doesn't allow her son to play with guns so he ended going to his sister's room and bend her barbie doll into gun shape and play with it... She was talking about gender differences where boys play with guns and girls with dolls... After that i had another lecture, then had lunch at tennis court before returning home... After having dinner at home, we accompany our friend to hungry jacks for dinner...
