Movies

I miss watching movies in the cinema and the atmosphere inside and the popcorns. So to satisfy my action movies cravings, watching this in my laptop is the best cure.

Other than that, both of these can also give me a good laugh. And some that I missed out the chance to watch in the cinemas.



Plus some old movies.


And also new movies.


All these will keep me occupied for a few days, thanks to one of my housemate, Khush. She's good at IT stuffs and has countless movies in her laptop. She's an Indian but Persian ancesters.
Okay, at least I didn't spend 24 hours in front of the laptop. I just chat with 3 of my nocturnal housemates yesterday until 4.30am, and it's my first time sleeping at 5 in the morning. LOL.... Woke up and it's lunchtime already. xD

Fooled By Nature

Now that the exams are over and my first semester in uni has come to an end, I'm back to blogging! My last paper which was Animal Systems didn't have multiple choice questions, so there were nothing for me to shoot during the exam.@@

It's normal for students to forget all the stuffs they've learnt right after the invigilator said "writing shall cease now". Then they will fly out of the examination hall with their minds flying even further away to their whatever coming-up holiday plans.

However, this was my first time truely enjoyed what I was studying, without any complaints, after 12 years of schooling. Although agriculture is not my type, I hope I can still remember most of the things in this subject and not just for the sake of exams. Well, at least I there's one thing that I will remember forever: horses will not walk and graze near dung!! Lol... They are fussy as well. Just like don't give small kids vanilla ice cream when they want strawberry ice cream. That's why horse pasture is harder to manage. Didn't know horses are that smart. =p

As I mentioned before, I adored the animal behaviour module the most and also the lecturer too. I admired his efforts in making interesting slides with all the cute and funny animal video clips. Some good IT skills he has.

Okay, so for the animal behaviour section, we were required to answer 10 short questions and 2 out of 8 long questions. The problem I had was deciding which one to choose because I wanted to write 3 of them. @@" One was altruism in vampire bats, one was sperm wars and another one was sexual selection in fairy wrens. In the end, I ditched sperm wars although that one was super interesting. =( But if any of you are fascinated and want to know what sperm wars about, I'm more than happy to tell the whole story and I'm sure you will put a surprise-looking on your face. Anything can be possible in this bizarre world. xD

Just sharing some interesting facts. This is a male fairy wren. In order to find a girlfriend, it will change from this look.......

....to this handsome look.







Why? Because unlike lions, male fairy wrens don't fight for females and it's up to the females to choose their boyfriends. So the guys have to impress the girls by doing some "facial surgeries". All they need is just their testoterones to become handsome. However, too much testorones will weaken their immunity and more prone to parasites which can also scare the females away. So, only those with good genes with stonger immunity can afford more testoterones and moult earlier and get a wife earlier. Sounds like Animal Planet? I wish.... Lol...

By the way, I've got an 8 out of 10 for my penguins behaviour report and guess what are the penguins saying?

"Yay!!"

Settling In

Finally I'm done with my accomodation problem. It has been disturbing me since 2 weeks ago and with all the reports stacking on my shoulders at the same time, I was frustrated with Poppy's news asking me to move out earlier. Well, in the end, it turned out to be a good news to me, if not I wouldn't have found out this new place and move into bloody expensive on-campus accomodation.

The landlord is an Australian and Italian mixed. Glad that he volunteered to help me with my moving. The moving part wasn't that hard and took less than an hour to shift everything. The most tiring part was the packing. Took me hours to stuff everything into the luggages and bags and hours to unload the things. Now I have problem finding those miscellaneous things.

This is the house. There is actually a lower fence (not in the picture) further out.
Entrance.

There is a notice board at the entrance with all the bills and letters and guest list.


They have a gardener to maintain the backyard. The grass is short and tidy and no weeds.

There are flowers in the garden.
Don't know what tree is this.
The kitchen. Small and simple.
Look!! I actually get such a big cupboard! It's super big compare to the 2 drawers in the previous place. Now I don't have to worry about spilling. I had to lie them horizontally last time and the oil and half of the thick soya sauce spilled inside the drawer. @@
My room. Although the room is slightly smaller, but it comes with bigger furnitures. It's super warm and comfortable in the room. No wonder they dry their clothes in the room. Can just wear like how I used to wear back home in Malaysia. I don't even need the blackets but don't know where to keep it.
Bigger desk. No need to put textbooks and notebooks on the floor anymore. =)
Bigger wardrobe. Now can chuck more rubbish in. Lol. Just bought some kitchen utensils from Coles. Non stick pan $12.99, knife $8.99, slotted turner 6.99 and that pot (don't know what is it called) $13.99. This was my first time buying all these stuffs, so not sure whether the prices were resonable or not. Suddenly feel like a si lai. @@"

Got this comfy clearance pillow from Target. Cost $10.Forgotten to take a picture of the bathroom. The bathroom is small, so it gets warm easily when the heater is on especially in the morning. I even sweat inside. The best thing is that I can take my bath without shivering. Hehe.

There 6 of us in this house. 1 aussie, 2 indians, 1 taiwanese and 1 singaporean. Again, I'm the youngest in the house. It's my third day living here and I kinda like it. It's alot nicer than Poppy's house. The most important thing is, no more annoying screaming kids running around in the evening. Yay!! Can study and nap in peace!

So many pitctures in this post. Okay, here is the picture of the week. My frog!! It's a female. Poor girl!! T.T
