Crimson Spring

Miss Zhi Ying invited me to watch a chinese musical named Crimson Spring in Melb uni. Since I've got nothing to do on a Friday night besides going to FOCUS, so I've decided to make another trip to this beautiful and historical uni. =)

The first thing that came to my mind when miss Zhi Ying said the word "chinese musical" was something like this..
but when the sport light was turned on, the above picture turned into this..LOL... I never thought that it's a musical STAGE show. Anyway, I like watching stage show too. The story was about the dancers and the singers in a pub named Crimson Spring. It's something like the HK series "Glittering Days". The actress wore glittering dresses with "chicken fur" scarfs and sexy stokings. I liked a character named Mo Gu (mushroom). She's the hottest among all the girls. xD Sorry for the blur pictures as I can't use flash inside.
Overall, the show was quite nice with funny jokes. Here is one of my favorite joke:
Mo Gu has quitted her job in her lover's pub and went to work for Crimson Spring. She's an experience higher class singer and can attract lots of customers or in other words, ham sap lou. So one of the dancer there said something like this: 蘑菇都来,这样以后甚么冬菇,金针菇都来啦?LOL..

They must have been practicing hard everyday. It's not easy to remember all the lines and act, sing and dance at the same time. However, it's a sad ending. =(

Luckily they have got english subtitles on the screen. If not, my friend here wouldn't understand a word of it. Fiona is from Mauritius, and is studying Biomedical science. She's so asian. She watches japanese animes and mangas, korean, taiwanese and hong kong dramas. @@
Some feedbacks on the show..

Fiona: I liked it. The show was totally worth it!

Min Dee: I liked the lightings. They were perfectly done (winks to Zhi Ying xD). But I don't like sometimes they sing until too high pitch.
Teck: The story was good.
After the show, Min Dee and Teck wanted to fetch me back because they didn't allow me to go back alone at night. While walking to Teck's apartment to get his car, we stopped by a desert shop called Brunetti in Lygon Street (I think).
The shop is very big. It's got the size of 3 shops combined together and it was full of people when we went there at around 10pm, even the tables outside were fully occupied. There were so many variety of desserts, from chocolates, puddings and cakes to pies and eclairs.
Cakes that make people want to buy them!!
One the streets in Carlton. On our way to get Teck's car.

Planned to go for grocery shopping the next day, but both of them volunteered to go shopping with me and asked me to buy more because a car always make things easier. So we dropped by at Safeway while on our way back to Bundoora.

First time shopping so late at night and the supermarket was so quiet. Just a random candid shot of them. Hehe. Unfortunately, I've forgotten their dialogues in this picture. Most of their conversations were very entertaining.


Ok, it's time to go to bed now. Chiaoz..

Botanic Gardens

Had a short trip to the Botanic Gardens for my plant science prac. Nothing much to say. All we did was just following our demonstrator around the gardens and taking down notes. No doubt the sceneries are breathtaking, but I would prefer going to the zoo than Botanic Gardens. Plants are just not that fascinating.

It's been raining everyday since last week, but it happened to be so lucky that it's a sunny day when we went there. =) Here are some pictures of the garden.

This plant so cute. It stores water in its trunk, that's why it has got this big butt. xD


Herbs garden.

Didn't take many pictures. Had to rush back for chemistry prac. @@

Tiles Laying

Went for volunteering at Iramoo grassland yesterday. The grassland is right next to Victoria University but I don't know what's that area called. A lecturer from that university, is carrying out a research project on striped legless lizards.

It's just the beginning of the project. So we only did tiles laying. The purpose is to attract the lizards to the tiles when the weather starts to warm up. For your information, lizards are ectotherms. They rely on external heat source to warm their body. Tiles get hot easily, so the lizards will settle under the tiles to stay warm.The tiles were so heavy!! I can carry only 3 tiles at a time. I've tried carrying 4, but thought that better stick to 3. @@" Plus, we had to walk quite a distance to lay out the tiles. The next half of the day, I reduced to 2 tiles at a time. My arms were already half dead. x.xI didn't want to wear the beanie at first, but it was a super windy day and my hair kept flying everywhere. Grr... The wind was so strong. I so heavy also had to step backwards when blew by the wind. Xi Inn and Shean, you all sure can fly off already lah. Haha.
Besides laying tiles, there's another job which was to paint numbers on the tiles. We took turns to paint the tiles. Sounded not hard, but it can be physically tiring when I was doing it. The routine went like this: squat down, paint, stand up, walk 5 meters, squat down, paint, stand up, walk 5 meters, squat down, paint and so on. I've painted 100 tiles which means 100 times of that routine. Pengsan... However, I still rather painting than carrying tiles.

Caroline, Ada, Shannon, Dr Meghan and me. I looked extra fat in the picture. That's why I hate wearing 3 layers. >=( Dr Meghan can carry 5 tiles at a time! I so memalukan... >.<"

There would have been more people if they didn't confuse us by changing the dates. Anyway, 5 of us managed to lay 250 tiles. Thought of coming again today for more tiles laying, but my arms didn't allow me to. Didn't even have the strength to open the peanut butter lid after I came back. @@

This is the first part of this project, there are more coming up. I have a training day next month. Dr Meghan will show us how to do the lizard survey and monitoring and also how to differentiate between striped legless lizards and brown snakes. The lizards are still under the ground at the moment, but will come out when spring approaches. Yay!! Can see the lizards!! =D

Physics

I can see mushrooms growing in my blog. Can't help it. There's nothing interesting or particular thing for me to blog. No interesting practicals to talk about, no outings, no events, no dissections, nothing unusual. I think I'm in the process of turning into a nerd. @@


From the start of semester until now, all I did was just loitering around.... inside my cozy room. Hehe. Besides that, I've spent some time reintroducing myself to these familiar but complicated laws.
Being a physics dummy, I can't believe that I'm still doing physics at this level. After 3 years of studying physics, I can still take ages to get the facts right and actually understand the concept. My brain is just simply physics-intolerant. Argh!

I wonder how do physicists think? Are their genius brains only contain numbers and all they do is writing out no-one-will-ever-understand formulas on the blackboard? If this is true, no wonder they can never have coloured hair. Therefore, we can conclude that a new physics equation is formed: E = mc2 or Einstein = marvellous chalk2 !!
When a physicist successfully invented something, who can be even more excited than Archimedes until able to run around the streets naked. His bathtub must be facing at a good feng shui direction. =)Sometimes, when crazy people think too much of physics stuff, they may end up like this.. So lucky that I managed to survive during my 3 years of studying physics. Although the word "physics" is intimidating, but I don't want to screw it. I want to end my first year beautifully. I think I better date with my physics textbook more often, if not I'll be ended up like this...

...if there is luck, a parachute might pop out. xD
