Seems like I am.......

It has been ages since I last post something on. Well, what do you expect with all the assignments and workloads for first year. I just hope second year will be just like this for good. (Seniors said that second year will be far more horrible) Not to mention that we have to do placements next sem.

I seriously have to consider taking English writing and composition course. My marks for my Bio assignments are such a monster to me. I got 13/15 for my judgments, 14/15 for my topic discussion, and 12/15 for topic evaluation but 3/15 for the structure and usage of language. Putting me in a worse condition for my exam. Before, I can just depend on a pass to get a 5, now I need to get credit for a pass. Why cant I get higher marks?

Anyway, I am now racing with time to get my studies for exam done*gasp*.....I am so doom.....tomorrow's the final exam and I am still half loafing around the 3rd lecture. (I have 17 lectures more to go) and I am so....so......doom.........Well, hopefully tmr will be a great day for me to start my exam week. I am having 3 exams in a row.........makes me want to cry for mama.

Almost forgot...tmr's the day I usually eat "bak chang", but the problem is I cant see them here. Not even in China town. I wonder do the Chinese in Australia still remember this special day? I have not been to anywhere special these days so I think I will just put up some old pics which has been taken long ago since I have arrived in Brisbane.
The Brisbane city from South Bank view. Doesn't seem very extraordinary eh?
The SunCorp Stadium at South Bank. Didn't I tell you South Bank is the cultural centre of Brisbane?
The pedestrian walkway at South Bank. Weird eh?
Griffith University. Another astounding University around Queensland. This one is the campus at South Bank.
This is the court house (for the pass I think?) at city, near where I usually take my bus home. However, I heard it has been converted to a casino?? Not very sure though.

Anyway, have to get my ass back to studies.......Pray for me people!!!

（中國‧四川）四川大地震再次顯現母親最偉大，母愛最感人。

搶救人員在瓦礫堆發現一名母親的時候，她已被垮塌下來的房子壓死了。她生前最後姿勢是雙膝跪著，整個上身向前匍匐著，雙手扶著地面支撐著身體，有如古人行跪拜禮，只是身體被壓得變形了，看上去有些詭異。

救援人員在廢墟中搜索沒有發現生還者，突然，在屍體下發現一名三四個月的小嬰兒。因為有母親身體庇護，嬰兒毫髮無傷。嬰兒包在一個紅色帶黃花的小被子裡，抱出來的時候還安靜的睡著。

隨行的醫生解開嬰兒棉被時發現一手機。手機屏幕開著，上面有留言，“親愛的寶貝，如果你能活著，一定要記住我愛你”。

看慣生離死別的醫生，也忍不住落淚，隨著手機傳遞，現場每個看到留言人也都落淚。但幸運存活的小嬰兒，要長大後才能明白母親的犧牲有多偉大。

看了, 觉得天下的妈妈真的很伟大. 祝愿四川的人们在悲伤过后能振作起来. 大家一起祈祷吧!!

Again.....the Internet service is alive......

I am posting some of my photo collection up sequentially. This is due to my traffic quota which limits me at about 2GB of traffic per month. Man, how am I going to survive by that if I posted too much things on my blog? Damn the service provider.
Well, enough for that. I have my mid term break this April and I got my ass to the Brisbane Koala Sanctuary. It's soo.... thrilling. There are lots of things you cannot imagine happens there. The animals are so friendly..(except for the real big kangaroo.....T-T) Anyway, as I said, I will put the pictures up sequentially, so don't rush me. Its 3 am.... I am going to sleep, so I will just briefly chip in the comments with the photos.
The Koalas!!!The left one is sleepy though. We went there at about 12 noon. Its only morning to them. So, the big guy hid his face and had a nap before he post a picture with me.
Here is another big guy-- The Kangaroo! He is kinda cute but his uncle(?o?) i think is not that cute. The uncle (=.=") is a person of high authority in the group. He stays away from the other and everytime he got up on his feet, the poor group of kangaroo have to stop feeding on and await his command. Anyway, I manage to snap this picture down before the uncle spoiled the take. (^.^)

Anyway, I am now having battles with my assignments so I think I will be staying off a while. Need to find a place to stay fast also...my house will be demolished to be reconstructed again....(^.^"). That's all for now........I think.......

Just Wondering

Just wondering,

Would it be great if there is some kind of machine which can create a wormhole through Brisbane and M'sia? I really miss my mom's cooking. I never learn to appreciate that until I am here. Guess I was being ungrateful and now have to be punished. Mommy, I missed your laksa, your Hokkien Mee and your curry chicken......I never realized that we Malaysian are spoiled for choices of food which we can easily grab 24 hours till I am half starved here in Australia, midnight, with all the shops closed and nothing else left at home to eat......(again......food!!!!! I missed you like hell.) Youning told me she wanted to get her body fit today. I don't know how fat she has gotten, but from my own perspective, why torture yourself? You are so pumped up to keep fit while I am sitting here, half starved to death. Try to be in my shoe, you won't dare to say that again.
Yea...I do skip lunch sometimes when I have no appetite. But that doesn't account for anything I am experiencing now. (I ate a whole lot of things into my stomach today, yet, feeling hungry after only an hour) Australians really eat less than I imagined. Some of them can even survived with only bananas as their lunch and have big M for their dinner. Argh!!!! Hope I get their size and their appetite all together. I spend some big load of money just to buy food from the refectory......If JPA did not send in any money within the next 15 days, I am dead, starving......
Craze about food now......so, I will write later. Going to search for food........FOOD>>>>>>>!

Pics...Pics...

Since someone have asked me to post some pics of me in Aus up, ok...here goes...
First thing to know...I am not going to be in the pictures.
There are some differences in Australia. As you can see...5pm in Australia...
and next is my the lake in my school (yea...a lake in my school)...
So, for now, I will just post 2 of these pics up first. My download quota ^^!
Anyway, I will post more on......

Finally, Internet trauma is gone.

Finally, I can post something up. I was so fed up because the internet service at my shared house is way over its quota though I did not download any movies. (Well, last time is because I download a 4xxMB movie.) I am sick of slow intenet. Not only it made me unable to sign in to the blackboard site to complete my online assessment, but also cause me to put a halt to my ongoing assignments. During the week, I hardly have anything to do. Sometime, I have to thank god for letting me sign in to MSN.
But yea, enough of that. The good news now is after having a disappointing personal response mark, my chem made up for me. I am the only one who get full marks for my formative mid-sem exam. How I wish it would be summative. Oh my, I am day dreaming again. So far, my other assignments have started already. PHRM1020 Data Analysis seems to be the killer of them all. (Cuz others are done in group) I suck at writing essays. Don't you see it? why things are always opposite to what I want?
Anyway, now my days are filled up with assignments, assignments, assignments. Boring but must get it done in order to pass. To make matter worse, the clock is ticking. I have exactly 2 weeks from now to hand in the assignments. Only god knows how am I going to finish them.
Argh!!! My hands aching again. Nowadays when it turned cold out there, my hand will start to get this kind of pain....guess I have to consult a doctor then......

Sad Day.....not a good day for receiving results I guess?

Today, Phil said that we can actually claim our personal response results over the Skerman Building. So I went after Brian finish his lecture. I was actually quite excited....receiving my first ever assignment report. However, everything turn sore when the paper finally rest on my palm. 9.5/15?!!!What the hell? Is this my paper? Yes it is (No doubt because the name is printed on it). The world is spinning, I better get a bottle of Panadol and kill myself. How the heck can I only get 9.5? Barely off the passing marks. Turning to the back page, the comment says:" quite a good job there. Fully understand the needs of the personal response. However, try proof reading to reduce your grammar and spelling mistakes. Take note of the sentence structure also. The headings are quite engaging but try to make it short and simple" Well, what can I expect more of? This comment has already drained out all my marks to get at least 11 and above. I begin to think I am marked. Everything seems to be not in its usual way it should be since I came to Australia. Things keep popping out from no where. First there is this difficulty in finding a room to live. Then this computer have problem and I have to spend a good 200++ dollars to buy a windows XP original disc to reformat it (I left my disc at home.). Now, I nearly fail the assignment. What is going on?
