Hello money money money..
Ohh and lovely Korean teachers: 지운+규명 taught me how to speak Korean when dining at a restaurant. And I did order '2 extra rice and water' in Korean! :D And the waiter actually understood.
Maybe my boss would give me a pay rise for being so multilingual! Then again, Mamak does gets many Korean patrons too X)
Time for watching K-Drama. Good night.
True colour revealed?
Truly disappointed
You just lost yourself a friend.

THE BOY BANDS ARE BACK.
Watching Roddick vs Murray on Wimbledon Championship on the little telly in my bedroom. They're on a tie game now but I want Roddick to win so badly. Though he has some temperament whilst playing; remember him cursing to the umpire on the Australian Open? Hilarious shit. I guess that (plus his awesomely good looks) made him one of the hottest+top tennis player <3
Lex L is going back to Singapore tomorrow, so we're (Sarah V and I) are bringing him to watch the sunrise at Bondi Beach at 6am later.
Update on me so far: Learning Korean now. Yes, my holidays have been quite productive after all. Like seriously. 3 very kind Korean friends of mine have taught me. It isn't that difficult, just need to memorise the alphabets. Hence, the constant viewing of K-Dramas, K-Movies and K-Songs.
After 7 K-Movies, now watching a drama called I AM SAM. Yes yes, I am merely watching because of T.O.P. (Rapper from Big Bang, my second fav member after Seung Ri baby!) is also starring in it. And after this try My name is Kim Sam Soon :):)
Now that's what I call: HEARTTHROB.
Good luck for me trying to sleep now.
ahn-nyong.
AND I CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK TO WORK NEXT WEEK!

HELLO AGAIN :)
So what I've been doing since the end of exams.
Most of you have already known that Sarah and I went to Canberra; visiting the ANU people. Yesh, had heaps of fun. The people there are much different from the ones in Sydney.
It was funny how we barely made it to Central Station (where we departed for our destination). Legal paper finished at 4pm. I immediately ran out of the exam hall, met Sarah and quickly walked to my car. It was bloody raining cats and dogs. And faced a major congestion whilst getting out of Randwick Racecourse (exam place). Reached home, packed my luggage and left the house at 5.30pm!! We were supposed to depart at 6pm from Central Station. And at 5.30pm went and picked up Sarah. Rushed to Central Station, my heart was beating at a slightly more than average rate cos I was having the fear that the bus might have left already. We reached the station at exactly 6pm. Luckily, the bus hadn't departed yet. As expected almost all the seats on board were taken so Sarah and I had to sit separately. FOR BLOODY 3 hours and 30 minutes. My ass was so numb I tell yahh. Plus hunger and boredom, I barely slept on the bus. Couldn't wait to reach the destinations.
Canberra was like you can call it a kampung: Very few tall buildings. Only one shopping mall. No people on the streets. Very very cold. And everywhere from UniLodge (our accommodation) was just a mere 10 minutes walk away.
Met with with RongXuan aka Shane from SSC and Sarah's friend from JC, Rachelle. From them, we met more new friends. Had potluck party, visited ANU, watched the sunset at a beautiful lake, played Wii etc. Overall we had an amazing time.

Second job; First in Sydney
After going through an interview last Thursday with the 3 bosses. One of them called me up, asking me to go for a trial for about 4 weeks. I already went once; yesterday. It wasn't THAT bad except the part where I had to memorize the table numbers, abbreviations when taking orders, stacking up plates and bowls when clearing tables etc etc.
The worst part was, I couldn't make the dough! (for the roti) Not even one T.T The others tried to teach me so many times but failed. Omg.

Day 1 of Uni Life
Was 5 minutes late when I walked into my very first tutorial this morning. Accounting tutorial. My tutor, was surprisingly young. Like a 22 or 23 year old, could be a Honours/Masters student. And by the time I arrived, most of my classmates had already introduced themselves. I said 'Sorry I'm late. My name is Christine and I'm from Malaysia and I've been in Sydney for the past year' Then I saw some smiles from some friendly girls.
As expected, there was only one white boy. Though I believed most of the Asians in my class were born and bred in Sydney. Hence, their accent.
Break for 4 hours.
2 pm- Economics lecture
The crowd of students outside the Law Theatre were building up massively. I was one of them, waiting outside Law Theatre for this lecture. By the time we got in, there weren't enough enough for Sarah and I to sit as together. So we had to split up. I swear I could not understand my lecturer's accent. It was like Italian/Greek/Spanish/some weird Middle Eastern accent. When the lecture finally finished, I told Sarah, 'I cannot understand a thing she just said. Let's change lecture'
Break for 3 hours [If you've just realized, we had 7 hours of break time in total!! XD]
And this was how we killed the time; eating cakes @ 85 degree Celsius bakery shop.
6pm- Quantitative Methods A Lecture [QMA]
Omg, what a terrible way to end my first day of university. Like before, people were already crowding outside Law Theatre (again!) for this lecture. As students were settling down, the lecturer suddenly yelled "Now do you have any consideration for other people?! You want to be in my class, SHUT UP!" (in a very thick Aussie accent) Honestly, I was so terrified by his first words for us. Immediately, the whole theatre was in pin drop silent situation. His name was John Ablett, or rather, Dr. John Ablett. I looked at the clock hung by the side of the theatre for at least 15 times. Those 2 hours were definitely slow. And what's worse than not understanding QMA for the first lecture. Hardship, here I come!!

BOYCOTT RTA!!♦
To whom it may concerned,
I am a Temporary Resident of NSW and I just took a driving test this morning at a RTA office in Maroubra. I passed the test and could be given a Green P licence (I have held my Malaysian licence for 18 months). To my dismay, I was not eligible to be given the licence as my last entry into Australia was on the 21st of February 2009. I would like to argue that I was in fact in Australia for six continuous months prior taking my DKT test (Arrived Australia on the 17th March 2008 at that time).
According to your website, http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/licensing/visitorstonsw/gettingnswlicence.html quoted ‘As a temporary overseas visitor, you will only be eligible to apply for a NSW licence once you have been in Australia for a continuous period of at least six months immediately prior to licence application.’ This policy has some ambiguities as the term ‘licence application’ was not specific enough. This term could be the process of applying a licence which starts from taking a DKT test. It did not specify that I should be in Australia for six continuous months before I could be issued with a licence.
Moreover, I tried applying for the driving test immediately after my DKT test which was done on the 17th December 2008. Unfortunately, there were no available times until February 2009. By then, I had already booked my air ticket for me to go back to my home country on the 23rd December 2008.
So six months from now, not only I have to sit for another driving test in which I have actually passed this morning, but to pay $44 again for the test due to this vague policy of RTA. I hope you take this into consideration to re-evaluate this part of your policy. If you need proof that I will be staying here in Australia for the next six months, I would gladly show the RTA my proof confirmation of an enrolled student in the University of New South Wales.
Yours sincerely,
Christine Loo
You should probably know the gist of my problem now. Fuckit.

I.P. Man
At first, I didn't know what the hell is this Ip Man. Friends of mine called it I.P. Man. And the only abbreviation i know of I.P is 'Intellectual Property'. They claimed it was a good movie.
Hence, dragging Yi Cheng along, we watched this Ip Man since I had already watched all the other worth watching movies earlier in Sydney & Singapore while KinKin, ChiChun and Shoby watched the Yes Man.
OMG OMG OMG THIS MOVIE WAS SO GREAT/COOL/AWESOME/FANTASTIC
Donnie Yen, the main actor was so superb and kudos to Sammo Hung for the fight choreography. Both Yi Cheng and I yelled 'OMG' or 'oh shit' like 1000 times in this movie. Adrenaline rushing.
There was this one scene, where Ip Man was shot out of the blue. I shouted 'oh shit!!!' and Yi Cheng screamed 'oh my god!!' even louder than me. LOL Needless to mention, people were staring at us for being so dramatic. Damn hilarious man.
To conclude, it was the best Kung Fu movie watched in a very long time.
