Well, spring is here... and 2 weeks worth of holidays are gone..
Contrary to popular likings, i come to hate spring.. Why you ask? Its because of the bugs... Currently NSW is plagued by moths.. and they are EVERYWHERE!!! in the rooms, the hallway, the corridors, and yes.. peeking at you in the toilet as well.. urgh.. haha! I guess its not as bad as the moths we saw at Genting the other time, which not only looks scary, its huge as well..
It is however easier to wake up in the mornings now.. mainly because it is warmer and the sunlight at 6 a.m is almost as bright as the afternoon.. Our lecturers seemed to take that to their advantage.. now we have a few 8.a.m lectures.. designed to sleep us in lectures..
To sum up the holidays, basically it involves lots of sleeping time.. :) hehe! Went to the city a few times, to walk around and to buy some stuff.. Supposed to clear my room in the holidays as well.. it was clean and nice for a few days.. but ended up as messy as before in the end.. I'm gonna do the clearing all over again.. haha~! Currently looking for a nice poster to place in my wall, so that it won't look as bare..
Went to Canberra again at the last two days of the holidays.. It was a 2 day 1 night trip with the people from Malaysia Hall. There's quite a number of us.. totalling to maybe about 25 probably.. we have around 5 cars, 4 of them are vans that accomodate around 7 persons. The trip took around 3 hours. We stayed over at some friends' places, all apartments. Petronas scholars are so pampered! haha!
had a dinner at the consulate the first night we were there, it was quite nice, albeit a little awkward for me coz i was sitting at the table with the Datuk.. Pretty tense coz i did not want to say the wrong things at the wrong time.. :P If i was my usual self, i would probably be kicked out, lol!
We visited the usual tourist destinations such as the war memorial, the parliment house, and some other places. On the second day we visited the floriade. The floriade is a flower festival held annually at canberra during spring. Its full of nice looking flowers, most of them being my gf's favourite, hehe! However, there's one colour that seemed not to exist.. there's no light blue tulips are they? hrmm.. After that we went to somewhere where u have to pay $10 to enter. We choosed not to enter at that time because of the price.. so a few of us diverged from the main group while they tired it. Its basically filled with miniature models of houses and things.. its quite cool actually, i'll try to post some pictures when i can. The rest of us took a car and went sight seeing around the area. And guess what, i saw some kangaroos! hehe! i was pretty excited, coz it was my first time.. :) They were like cats.. lazing around in the field.. there was quite a number of them.. totalling to maybe 20 or more of them.. Its so cool! :P
I guess that's all for now.. i'm a little bit tired.. have a prac and a scenario group session after this... i NEED SOME SLEEP! haha! :)
