Harper's Island

HAHA! Rottnest Island is just like Harper's Island!

I watched the 1st episode of Harper's Island the day before this.

I kept saying Harper instead of Rottnest Island.

At the harbour before we board the ferry.

The beach!
We could have snorkeled there!
But we didn't rent the gear.
I dipped in the water.
It was freezing!!!
At the same beach.

We had to cycle throughout the island.

It's impossible to cover the entire island by foot.

It's super tiring cos there're many slopes.

But, I love it when it's down slope.

We went super fast!!!

A funny picture of me. haha!

I love the windmills!

Me trying to act like a how a cyclist would pose.

Jeff was always ahead of me.

I had to struggle when it's up slope.

We stopped many times to rest.

Cos it's really tiring!

How beautiful!!!!

Not me, obviously. haha!

This little marsupial can be found throughout the island!

We didn't see any as we were cycling.

But we saw one near the food centre!!!

Crap. I can't remember it's name.

Qukoo or something. Shall check my diary later!

I love the island!

It's a MUST go when in Perth.

But beware.

It's not for the old and weak. haha!

It's really too intensive!!!

I'll want to go back there next time!

But it'll be better to stay over night at the island!

Lancelin + Pinnacle desert

We were on the monster truck!

Super fun!!!

The truck would take us up and down the sand dunes.

Those sand dunes are HUGE.

So it's like a roller coaster ride.

We had to buckle up!

See how huge it's?! haha!
I'm just as tall as the wheels.

Me with the sand board.

It's like wind surfing.

Just that we're sliding down the sand!

That's me sliding down!

It was my 2nd try.

I fell when I sat on the board. haha!

Us waiting to slide down.

At the pinnacle desert.

I kept typing dessert. haha!

All the nbs ppl.

Models wannabe. haha!

Me and our car!

I drove a little!

If only I can drive more.

It seemed so much better than driving in S'pore.

Them again!

They're pretty nice people.

But I'm totally different from them (the girls).

I think I'm pretty guyish.

At one point in them, on of the girls actually blurted out:" You 4 guys should ..."

haha! Hilarious.

Perth city + Kings park

Jeff and I on the CAT bus.

We chose to tour around the city instead of doing shopping at the factory outlet.

We're so not into shopping, unlike the nbs girls.

What's best is that the CAT bus is a free bus service!

So, we roamed round the city on it.

The ride was so comfortable that I fell asleep for a short while. haha!

We dropped off at some random spot to change to another CAT bus.

We took the bus to King's park.
It was pretty cold.
BUT, the walk up was damn long and tiring that I got damn warm.




The halfway point up King's park!
I had to take a short break. haha!
Too damn tiring!!!



Finally!

At a random spot in King's park!

Very scenic!!!

It's a must go!

Can see the whole of Perth city and the lake.

I think it's called swan valley lake.

The same pic of us lazing on the grass patch.

So nice and cooling!

There's a section in King's Park that's dedicated to the Australians soldiers who died in WW2.

It's a war memorial site.

The city again.

All ready for casino!!!

Obviously, I didn't wear my hoodie inside. haha!

I wore only my top, pants and heels.

It was freezing!!!

I love the casino. haha!

I can foresee myself being an addict someday.


p.s. I did the post on friday but I went to check my results at midnight. I felt neither happy nor disappointed. haha! Think I'm immune to the same kind of results I obtain all these sem. I think the only way I can be a perfect student is to be one in US! haha!

Perth Airport + Swan Valley + Whiteman Park

In the airport.

It was SUPER cold.

I wore 3 layers. haha!

We reached at about 12mn.

To save on hotel, we slept over in the airport.

Fun experience!!!

I slept over at Atlanta airport before!

But I didn't quite sleep.

But I really slept at Perth's airport.

Too tired.

The others. haha!

2 nbs girls.

The nbs guys.

The other 2 nbs girls.

Jeff woke me up! haha!

That was when he took the unglam shots of others.

The first day at Swan Valley.

I didn't take that much pics.

But the place was quite nice.

Lots of trees, flowers!

I look like my sis in this pic!

Cos I was frowning. haha!

She always frown.

Joey!

Not the keeper. haha!

The baby kangaroo!!!

We weren't allowed to carry it.

The wombat!

Super lazy, big and dirty!

There were dirt and mud all over it.

It does nothing all day except dig in the mud.

Jeff's favourite animal.

The goat!

Nothing interesting.

Except that the entrance of the enclosure said enter at your own risk.

Seems scary. haha!

But the animals in there were rather harmless.

A baby cow!

Harmless but I didn't quite dare to go near it!

It's actually quite cute!

I love the kangaroos!!!!

I like it when it licked my hand.

Oh! I love to touch it's fur.

I think there are too many kangaroos in Aus.

Cos there's kangaroo meat for sale.

It's so sick to me!

They're way too cute to be eaten.

It's like eating dog meat. Gross.

The koala!

Again, we were not allowed to carry it.

I used to like it.

But, it's too lazy for my liking. haha!

They only wake up for about 20mins a day just to eat.

Then, they'll go back to sleep.

Worse than the wombats. haha!

oh! But I love to touch their fur!

We're only allowed to touch certain parts using the back of our hand.

And, i think we can only stroke their bellies.

So, that's the end for day 1!

After the park, we went back to our home in Joondalup.

I didn't take pics of the house.

I like it there!

Behind the house, there's a woods.

There's a long flight of stairs somewhere in the woods.

It's like the Korean show wishing stairs. Creepy right?

It's actually very very dark at night.

So, we could see lots of stars!!!

I love it!!!

Just a bit of Perth

Me in my GT hoodie!

I love it. haha!

But it makes me look like a boy.

At king's park!


So nice to lie on the grass patch!
Weather was perfect!

A

At the sun dunes.

Jeff's nbs friends.

Got the typical nbs look? haha!

Biking at Rottnest Island.

(I've got to stop saying Harper's Island!)

Super tiring but fun!!!

We went ahead of the others cos they were too slow.

So, it was the 2 of us most of the time!

At Fremantle Prison.
The gallow room was creepy!!!

In front of Mammoth Cave.

And that's when my camera died.

More pictures next time!!!

heehee

byebye AA, Ceecee and Deedee!!!

or at most take 858. HAHA!

Just 1 more!

I'm way too slack. Exams never go well for me.
At least I've got 1 last chance to make things right!!!
OB on monday and i'll be free.
But, I don't want April to end. I like how things are now!
I love this sem!!! haha. It's the most stressful sem. But I learn the most this sem!
And every lessons were so fun. I just don't like the exams.

Can't believe it'll be wednesday soon. I'll be on my most dreaded holiday.

Slacker

I can't believe I'm super slack. Totally no sense of urgency. I felt so bored reading and reading and reading. So here I'm, chewing a piece of gum, with a cup of white coffee, blogging away. haha! Feels like the holiday now.
I went crazy just now. I blasted loud music on my little green sony mp3 and sang out loud. Damn shiok! haha! I love my music. Good way to de-stress!
Best song to sing along: Good morning Baltimore from Hairspray
Hardest, which made me sound like I'm howling: Bleeding love by Leona Lewis. haha!
I'm so lame!!!
oh! I really love the song Life is beautiful!!! Totally reminds me of GT. The song describes how i felt in US! Life was beautiful there!!!

Upset

Yes, I'm super upset about the pop media paper. I did study. But, I'm going to do so badly. Bloodly hell. My efforts are not justified! I swear the questions were way too hard. Seriously! My 1st page is gone. All wrong.
It's MCQ. But, there's a catch. There can be more than 1 correct ans. Damn. So, even if you chose 1 answer, it may still be wrong as there might be more. Now I need my core to pull up my GPA cos my bloody elective is going to pull everything down.

Finally!

I got my grade for forensic report! I got a B+!!!
okay. Some of you might be rolling your eyes thinking what so good about a B+.

1. Majeed said it was a good report on marital rape!!
2. My references were not good. Cos a lot from internet referencing.
But, there aren't many reports on marital rape! So, I take it that I should try harder.
3. I've never done so well on a report! (Other than my Georgia Tech S&P paper)

Haha! I'm so motivated to study hard for forensic!!!
p.s. Congrats to Steph, who did WAY better. haha! I'm sure she's going to do well during her attachment at home team!

Exams!

I'm being so random! haha!

Just wanna post a nice pic!

Exams are coming soon!!! 16th, 23rd, 27th.

Can't believe I'm still so slack!!!

Last class was forensic. And it was damn short. Like for half an hr.

Majeed handed us our report back. I was soooo scared.

But when I saw the paper, I was puzzled. It wasn't marked! haha!

It must be that bad that he refused to mark. haha!

I've been scared for nth. Which might be a blessing in disguise.

If I did badly, I'll be very affected, like adolescence paper last sem.

Hope he doesn't email me my grades soon!!!

That's it! Study hard for now!!!

It should have been me!!!

I should have won "Name the turns" contest for F1!!! My suggested name was chosen and yet I'm not the winner. How unfair! I thought of the name "Singapore Sling" for Turn 10! And some guy also did that. Maybe he saw my email! How unfair!!!!!!! Maybe I was too late. I'm trying to justify that I would not have won anyway. But omg! I can't believe I missed out by just a bit. Grandstand tickets at Turn 10 and a walk-about ticket at the pit. I'm sure it's worth damn a lot.
I feel so bad! Jeff bought the tickets already. $998!!! He could have saved the money. Argh. How unfair. I kept dreaming about it! haha! In my dream, the guy who won actually volunteered to share the prize. haha! Dreams are always sweet. Unlike reality.
Never mind! I'm sure the guy deserved it. haha! Just trying to make myself feel better.

HOUSE!

I'm so addicted to the show HOUSE! I didn't not step out of the house ever since Sat. I'm not a TV addict to that extent. Just that I fell sick.
So my routine is: Wake up at 8am for med, go back to sleep till 1pm. Watch 2 episodes of HOUSE, then get back to sleep till dinner time. Watched 2 more episodes of HOUSE. Do a bit of work for forensic, then back to sleep. Seriously! haha. I completed 1.5 season within a few days. I love HOUSE that much! If only I had been watching that kind of show since young, I would have been a doctor!!!
I'm so dead for my work. But somehow, I can't be bothered. I think the fever I had must have messed up with my amygdala ( the part of the brain which controls emotion, which is fear in my case).

Final week of hell! Then, it's heaven.

HAHA! It's so not heaven after hell. It'll just be a different form ( exam preparation).
Next week is going to be like hell. haha! An essay and project presentation, both individual and both require hell lots of research.
Good luck to me! And to those who're like me, or even worse, with more than 2 projects.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cheryl!

Hey! I found our pic! haha! So here's an entry for u!

U're going to become so famous cos of me. hahhaa!

p.s. Kennedy too. haha! He's in my pic!

cheryl!

Happy 23rd birthday!!!
Sorry I couldn't find any pic of us together! Dunno where are the pics I took b4 US trip. Think they're in the desktop. Nvm! I'm sure we'll take more!
May u've lots of fun for ur bday!!! It was fun meeting up and eating like mad. haha!
Enjoy ur day!!!!!!

One week of hell gone!

First week of hell month is over! yay. 2 presentations, 2 quizzes and 1 job interview.
Not all went well, obviously. haha! The most fun part of the week was the interview at BSU at home team academy. Steph and I signed up for the same internship program. I won't be going cos I've already accepted France summer program. I know I won't get the internship due to my poor GPA but it seemed really fun! If only I've studied harder. haha! Hope Steph gets it. I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun in there.
After this week, there's still a lot to do! All individual stuff. Hope I do survive. But no matter what, I won't do silly things like the 2 NTU students. Quite sad to hear someone of my age (or around my age) doing such stuff. I'm sure studying is not everything! At least to me. Gosh. Hope itll never ever happen to me. haha!
So, if i'm really stress, i'll just take it easy!!!
