Admittedly...I got too bored in literature lecture and took out my phone to snap this...
Somehow it does make it less boring with such pictures don't ya think?
On the other hand, Maths 1 lecture reminded me back in Msia. Lecturer talk in front...We talk in the back. Totally comparable with teachers back in MHS.
Here in Melbourne, Moomba is a annual festival happening for the Labour Day on the 9th of March.
As a new not-so-permanent resident in Melbourne, it's only normal to go take a look at it.
Being a Water Festival naturally means it's gonna be near water, in this case it is the Yarra River which is in the central of Melbourne, Victoria.
Pictures for the fireworks and etc will follow once I get my hands on it...
The fireworks is beautiful...Well, it is not Olympic standard but at least it is real.
The games is expensive(ok...getting used to Msian RM->Aussie $ pricing needs time).
But the rides is soo cool, makes me want to go try...too bad my heart is not gonna last very long if I do.
Coming from someone that really hates crowds and dislike countdown events...I have to say I really quite enjoyed this.
Maybe it is because it is not possible to feel hot due to the cool weather and it makes being in a crowd comfortable.
On the other hand...the crowd is a little overfriendly...
Side note:
This is not mine...Just borrowed it and the words kinda describe it in short...
Which person said that college life was free...He obviously never tried hard enough.
From one class to another is as if like 15min marathon per class. Each separated about 2-3km away.Not to mention classes ends at 5+...
Homework is perhaps the best part of it. Maths 2 homework is a joke...a very bad joke that I can't even laugh to it.
One single question takes 2 pages of A4 paper to finish...not by writing equation...by writing sentences that resembles an essay.
Hardly got enough time to even relax these days...unless homework is out of the way of course.
Oh well, fun and games is over...Time to rev up the brains a little...
I figured might as well add some other pictures that I used to miss out.
Left to Right : Yours Truly,Guo Liang, Matthew, Yann Kang.
From Right Poser: Sean and Top which is from Thailand...his English is quite impressive though...
Summer just went by, lots of things happened though...
Bush fires, heat waves, me coming to Melbourne and so on.
Autumn does mean that the temperature is going downhill by a bit from now on and apparently today marks the start of autumn rather well.
For starters...rain drops falling on my head...a lot today and yesterday I got a sms from the police department stating there will be high wind today...fair enough. It's high enough to make some of my housemate go crazy.
Reason being?...High wind carries dust/soot or anything flying around straight into their rooms and...It's cleaning day!
House aside...lectures was only so-so today.
HOI starts today, both lecture and tutorial...
Lecture was ok...reminds me of Sejarah back in Msia just that it's less stress due to I-Don't-Have-To-Remember things issue.
Tutorial was quite fun mainly cause we did nothing. My tutor hates Twilight...alot apparently which I couldn't dare to admit I finished it...Oh well, let's leave it that way for now.
After that...Double Dosage of Maths 1, which also comes in a package of...DOUBLE HOMEWORK...
Maths 1 lecture was ugh...zzzz....Not to mention the lecturer took extra time which kinda caused something...
Me: I thought it's time already?
Yann Kang: Ya.
Sean: I need to go Royal Parade after this leh!!(Its about 1-2km away). 20min how to run there?
Both: Just escape class la!
Sean: *sneaks out of the class quietly*...
At least tutorials ain't bad at all.
Note: In case anyone not familiar with...future studies...tutorial is tuition...just in an official way.
Note 2: Anyone ever read/seen a book/film called Let The Right One In/Let Me In. My Twilight-hating tutor said it's good...I am getting the impression he got a sadism in him...
Note to self: Seems I am using this as a personal e-diary more than just normal blogging...
Well, I failed to get online properly yesterday due to technical issues which I don't want to think about it anymore.
Recap of the...Amazing Race
Since it's a photography contest...I figured some picture would be appropriate
Clock Towers of Melbourne...
Oh and...We obviously can't forget the...
The crews of course...Me and my very well capable leader.
Our very own Femme Fatale
Note to self: I sincerely hope she would never ever read this.
Flinder's Street Station.
One of the well known landmark of the place.
The 2nd most important person in our team: the Navigator and the cameraman.(which is why he's not in most picture).
Controversies aside...Behind is the IMAX theater.
The photocopied photo is extremely hard to read in this one...
To be continued with
One is missing, oh well
Left to right: Galuh, Yours Truly, Our Guardian(clearly, I forgot how to spell her name),Jojo and Andrew.
Ugh....Just when you can start to think that college life is so fun, they give you an impressive timetable to fill in all the gaps in the holes.
At least today's lecture is half half...half fun and half boring.
EAP or (English for Academic Purposes)
is 1/3 of our English...yes...its that big of a deal English is here.
Conducted in a small class appro. 14 students. It teaches how to use English properly...something like grammer/comprehension kinda stuff.
The 2nd of the English is Literature.
The lecture today is boring-till-death since its conducted by a poet(yes...my lecturer is an official poet).
"What is Poetry?"
-Connotation
-Metaphor
and so on.
