I'm so envious of my fellow collegues who are watching HP right now, at this very moment and I couldn't make of cos of UNI!!

I'm going to start studying, for real.

Say helloooo to Semester Two :x

Dancing Queen; ABBA

I'm working tomorrow lunch, Thursday night, Saturday lunch and maybe Sunday lunch.
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.

Who knew you turned out that way
True colour revealed?
Truly disappointed
You just lost yourself a friend.

I CAN TYPE/READ/SPEAK basic KOREAN! :D

AH-HEM, WELCOME TO YOUR VERY FIRST INTRODUCTORY KOREAN LESSON.
I'm Christine and will be your 선생님(Teacher) for today. I will firstly teach the basic Korean alphabets (consonants & vowels) and these should be memorised (written and spoken) entirely until we could proceed to the next level.

Until next time, goodbye and good luck.
안 녕 .






:D AHAHAHA.

THE BOY BANDS ARE BACK.

It's 2.46am and I can't sleep.

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 :):)

SEUNGRI (My phone's current wallpaper!)+T.O.P
*droooooools!*

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 :)

Apologies for the extremely late late post. Yesh, I know it has been a week since I've finished my final exams. Fingers crossed for the results! It's coming out on the 10th July. I so need someone to be beside me when the results are out so I can slap/punch that person. The exams weren't easy I can tell you. The worst part is that we won't get back our papers so how are we supposed to know what mistakes we've done @.@

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.

BADgirlMINTON

Finally, in a very long time, I think I've found something that I could commit into; the game of Badminton. I've never trained for any sports that seriously before. [Thank Timothy and Eugene for introducing me into this game in Sydney] And I have inter-uni competition this Saturday. I've never had any sports competition since cheerleading in Form 5! 2 years ago X)

Training session:

My super advanced birthday gift from friends. THANKS! xx

She's a beauty eh? Maybe it's fate for me to play badminton after all.
Prove: When buying those shoes from the shop specializing in Badminton equipment, they were having a closing down sale!! [The shop is like 23 years old] What are the odds? Hence, saved heaps buying it.

Wish me LUCK.

QMA=Kill me

Quantitative Methods A, if I love you, would you love me back?

Cheers.

So how's Uni life treating me?

Besides the fact that I've got tons of assignments and presentation due next week (and mind you I've just started uni last week), uni's been pretty good to me. Oh, not to mention that each textbooks cost more than $100! And I got myself a Law textbook, $ 116. Super 心痛！3 textbooks to go T.T Couldn't buy second hand books cos earlier editions are not allowed @.@

Photos below: Microeconomics lecture at Law Theatre. I swear I yawned at least 25 times.









Autumn, please come fast now.

Second job; First in Sydney

I'm working at Mamak. Yes, you got that right :):) It sounds wrong if you work in a Mamak in Malaysia. Not in Sydney though. Mamak is a restaurant in Chinatown, on Goulburn St. During peak hours, you gotta queue up for at least 20 minutes. There wasn't a time when we didn't queue whenever we went there for dinner.

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.

The menu which I have to memorise.

Uniform- Tee


CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY FIRST PAY
:D:D

Day 1 of Uni Life

9 am- Accounting tutorial
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.

Sarah made me laughed at least 10 times today

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!!

Use Somebody, Kings of Leon

oops.
I almost forgot that I have a blog..

Updates coming soon.
Starting university tomorrow.
9 am Accounting tutorial, alone, don't know anyone.
Wish me luck.

BOYCOTT RTA!!♦

The following is my complaint letter to the RTA (Roads and Transport Authority and not that they'd cared to reply me anyways):

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 21^st 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 17^th 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 17^th 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 23^rd 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.

Ooooooo-Week.

University of New South Wales orientation week was quite fun. Minus the super duper scorching hot weather. Yesh it's still summer :<

I looked like a friggin' tourist.

Glory; Sugar Ray

Time flies when you're a teenager; where you could be crazy and don't have to worry about people judging you.

This year, would be my final year as one.
Cos like 20 doesn't have the word 'teen' in it. Right?
:'(

Leaving for the airport soon.
It has been a good holiday back home.
I'm already missing you people.

Sayonara again? No.2

You don't know your house is that big until you start to clean it all by yourself

Sadly, no photos yet as I forgot to bring along my camera cable.

And I found out that Pn. Daisy, my Form 3 K.H. teacher at Sri KL, has passed away. Damn, I keep having that flashbacks of her scolding me for talking too much, forgot to bring apron to bake, sending me for CS (chit-chatting with Shevie during assembly) >.< R.I.P., teacher.

Apologies for my delayed posts; I have very limited access to internet here. Imagine 4 people, 1 laptop :X

Btw, NADAL WON!!!!!!!!!! Yesh, I watched until the end; 5 sets. Imagine playing tennis for more than 4 bloody hours. @.@ And uh, I felt bad when Federer cried :( I think cos he lost; after being number 1 for so many years before Nadal existed.

Have heatfun in Melbourne Nic Nic! :D

HAPPY CNY 2009

I.P. Man

Watched this movie called Ip Man @ Cineleisure.

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.
