Hello! Sydney

2月8日晚上10.40分，一个人体验生平第一次坐飞机的感觉。寂寞加害怕。上了飞机，差点坐错位子。大约半小时后，飞机起飞了。第一次坐飞机，一点感觉兴奋也没有，因为寂寞大于兴奋。。。可悲！就这样，一个人坐在飞机上8个小时，除了与空姐对话之外，就没和任何人交流（因为空姐会问你要些什么，哈哈！）。在飞机上，除了转换小电视的channels之外，也没什么好做的。看了吴宗宪的周日八点党，也没什么好笑的。之后就睡了。。。意思意思睡而已，想到整个过程都是一个人，而且到了悉尼也是一个人，不知该怎么办，哪里还睡得好。。。坐过飞机之后，觉得没什么的，跟你坐在椅子上8个小时没分别，只是飞机上升与下降时比较爽而已。还是云顶的spaceshot比较爽。哈哈！比较坐飞机与看飞机从你头上飞过，后者较过瘾。尤其是站在飞机跑道前看飞机就在你头上两三层楼高的距离最过瘾（Nilai回忆中）。

8小时后，终于到了悉尼。Haih,又是一个人。到了机场，最害怕的是要过custom。因为不知道有没有东西漏了declare。结果是，只有你declare, then you are all right。一切顺利过关！每次看戏，出了custom,就看到有人拿着有名字的牌子接机。我一出来也看到很多类似的牌子，哈哈！只是没有我的罢了。。。就这样一个人在机场绕了绕，终于找到UNSW的reception desk。询问一番后，决定坐shuttle bus去UNSW。Taxi当然会贵很多。这之前，行程都是一个人。。。哈哈！BUT, 在等待shuttle bus的时候，认识了第一个朋友，一个INTI Subang GJS的Engineering朋友。一个人的行程到此结束。。。

到了UNSW的International Student Service Centre, 寄放了我的行李。徘徊之际，遇到了另一个新朋友，也就是现在的housemate。就在我到达悉尼的第一天的下午，就找到了外宿，可以说非常幸运的了。所以，并不需要经历挨家挨户找房子的日子。

下午，去了Hillsdale（暂时的住宿）。路途中，看到一间皮萨店冒烟。。。哗！
对了，在悉尼可以看到很多草地啊，树啊。。。绿绿的，不错！建筑方面，没有像马来西亚这样单调，只有一排排的排屋，这里的屋子各有各的风格与设计。另外一点就是“风”，这里太阳晒，可是有阵阵凉风，走在街上心情也特别好一点。

多亏有ShiHui的邀请，让我暂住她的家，不然就要流浪街头了。ShiHui爸很nice。介绍很多悉尼的天文地理历史文化给我。哈哈！更赞的是带我去她朋友家吃我在悉尼的第一餐晚餐——肉骨茶！前一晚才从肉骨茶胜地出发，到了悉尼后马上就可以品尝到肉骨茶，能不说赞吗？？？哇哈哈！！

原来在悉尼不是一个人。。。

成功了！

成功了！我成功拿到了UNSW的Golden Jubilee Scholarship。哈哈！兴奋当中。。。原本以为没机会拿的了。能拿到除了要靠成绩也要靠一点运气。其实上个星期四就已经收到UNSW寄来得email，只是还不敢确定真的是我拿到了这个奖学金。一直到今天向 UNSW double check了才敢肯定一切。不过，该寄来得文件还没收到。

当时open mail的时候看到了自己拿到Golden Jubilee Scholarship，真是高兴的不得了。那种情形就像以前我上网check我的初中与高中统考成绩一样，当场叫了出来。那种兴奋好难形容,总之就是爽！有了奖学金我就不用担心要去Australia深造的庞大费用了。也算为自己为家人松了一口气。而且这个奖学金也将让我在Sydney呆两年。如果成绩好

的话还可以以honours毕业。这一切一切都是我自从选择要出国后的顾虑。。。家里够不够钱让我出国啦，能不能读到honours啦，能不能在Australia读多几年书啦。。。

虽然拿到了这个奖学金可以让我除去一些顾虑，但新的顾虑有要来了。我还蛮担心自己不能maintain average 65% and above。这是继续享有奖学金的最基本的要求，可是基于不是很清楚要在UNSW拿到 65%到底有几难，再加上自己低水准的英语，更是让我不得不担心将来自己在那里的表现。不过好不容易才拿到奖学金，肯定不能失去它。要知道我在

last sem的时候可是很努力去争取我最后一个科目的每一分，每天都在算自己要拿到多少分才能达到很有机会拿Golden Jubilee Scholarship的最低要求。我的housemate余同学可非常清楚这一点，因为我每天都在跟他讲我要怎样怎样才能拿到奖学金。最后我的分数还真的与我要的分数差一点点，所以以为没机会了，还好有“幸运“的眷顾。

总之，不会忘记我今天得知拿到Golden Jubilee Scholarship的那种兴奋！

Thank you for those congrat me and thank to Dr Palsan and Ms Kamala who wrote me a reference letter as well as Mr Kingsley that helped me editing my personal statement. At last, thank to Mr Choo Foong Lin for paying hard work through out the study!

我会继续加油的！！

Wedding Dinner

Just back from a wedding dinner at Shah Alam Dewan MBSA. It was Miss Lalita's wedding, my Microbiology and Immunology lecturer. First time attending Indian wedding, quite special. Hahaha...

There were six of us attending the wedding. Yi Ling, Yeh Sze, Mei Ling, Li Fang and Mei Ling's friend, five of them came from INTI by ktm. Initially, I was supposed to go to ktm to fetch them. But, I could not find out the way to Shah Alam ktm, so they had to take taxi to the Dewan. I had been finding for the ktm for so long but still unable to get there. Dunno why the ktm so hard to reach. There did not have any signboard showing the way to ktm. Haih, luckily we all still reached there in the end. Lol.

First time attending Indian wedding ceremony, the ceremony took quite a long time. And the bride has to do so many many things. Ms Lalita was so diifferent today, so beautiful with the Indian costume and the made up. Beside six of us attending the wedding, Dr Palsan, Dr Ang, Dr Geeta (so many Dr), Mr Chan and other lecturers were also there. Emm, beside the wedding ceremony was special for me, the dinner also special for me. This was because they did not provide the spoon and fork, and so we had to use our hand to eat! Not really used to it, using hand to eat rice and curry. So I did not eat much. Hahaha...Then after eating for a while, we all went up the stage to greet the bride and bridegroom. Of course, we took pictures together lor. And present the "dog lamp" (present) to both of them. Like APCs present antigenic peptide to the T cells la. Hahaha. Study too much liao. I saw the bridegroom face felt that his face looks young. Know wat he told us? He asked us to give him our email address so that he can email us the answers for our final. Lol.

Oh ya, Lee Yi Ling said she will not forget today, not only today is Ms Lalita's wedding, today also has a big incident happened on her. She followed Dr Ang's car back to INTI. She said this is the first time sit in a car with so many genius and Dr. Hahaha. Thanks to me la, I helped you to ask Dr Palsan whether you can follow their car or not. Hehehe.

Three more days to my last final in INTI, back to home now stilll not yet start studying, need to start study already. Gambateh!!!

Last Week In INTI

16/10 to 20/10, the last week study in INTI...So I told myself I must enjoy the day in INTI before I left. Erm, this week only Monday and Tueday got class, but I stayed back till Friday, because initially Friday also got class. So how was this week? Actually nothing much special about this week la, just that our class got a steamboat gathering at Hui Yi's house on Wednesday night nia. At first, I want to go Bagan Lalang eat seafood la, go Seremban watch movie la, go here go there la, but lazy la, somemore no one want to go out also.

Monday (16/10)

Having class untill 2pm, then went back to apartment sleep. Hahaha. Oh ya, about 5pm then went for badminton with all the ladies...After that mah went to Eastern Tea Corner to have dinner lo, the nasi lemak so lousy this time. Last time "cheap nice delicious" one. Maybe change other people cook the chicken already. Follow by that, wath drama --- "Face to Fate". Should you face to your fate by your own or decide by the God? Hehehe....

Tueday (17/10)

Class started at 10am and ended at 11am. Having lunch together with IMM 201 classmates. Talking about lunch, this week has not taken lunch together with Mr KengKrau, still remember I had my first lunch in INTI with him. This guy got so many stories to tell and you will not get bored with him. And he is so talented in music.Unfortunately, he is not going to Australia together with us. Lol. Back to the day. Then I worked in UPO, earning RM 3 per hour, so little. But the work was easy. I had worked in UPO for 30 hours before for free because of the scholarship agreement. Erm, what did I do during this 30 hours arr? Labelling, arrange the files, enterning data, sending documents to wat wat department, sorting the unwanted offer letters, photocopying and so. Is like a office boy. Lol. The works were really easy but were just too boring, untill I want to sleep during the work. Quite a good experience, as I got to know what a office boy need to do since I do not think I will be doing this in my future, most probably I will be in a lab gua. Then I also get to know the staffs there and easier to get some information for the University applications. Aiyo, out of the day again. So the class continued at 2pm untill 3pm. Then, we went to Pharmacy department and visited their labs. The lab seem like more modern that us one. Aftter that went back to apartment again, you see, sometimes life is so boring. Hahaha...At night, went mamak with both Qiang. That night I watched drama untill 4am ler.

Wednesday (18/10)

Woke up at 11am without having enough sleep. Need to go to Seremban buy food for tonight steamboat. First thing to buy there was the present for Ms Lalita's wedding, is a LAMP dog (try imagine yourself). Then went to the market buy the stuffs needed. Luckily we did not listen to Hui Yi, if not sure got a lot of thing left over. So, Miss Hui Yi, next time remember do not buy so many stuffs. And, Yi Ling, the cheese sousage is really nice!!! Four of us having our breakfast at Kopitiam there, the rendang nasi lemak I ordered was really better than the one I ate on Monday. Nothing much to eat, so had to order nasi lemak again. Back to INTI at 3pm, then prepared to go the Award Presentation. This time getting lesser and lesser people, I also do not feel like attending one. At night then started our steamboat party! YEah! Cindy Yap, you were so pity that you could only eat vege. Lol. Wasted la. Retish, playing card and gambling are two different thing and you should taste the drink I prepared for you (Heneiken + Pepsi). Li Fang, saw you eat a lot woh, good la like that, do not always diet la, should enjoy eating. Yin Er, you so queit, did not talk to you also. Cch, no need so late to come gua! Mei Ling you left so early. Yeh Sze, what should I said about you? Hahaha....Quite a good memory. Let's talk about other previous classmates also. Lol. Irene, this semester should your happiest semester I guess. Rethi, do not get to talk to you quite often, maybe we should chat more in Australia. Edward, you should come out and join us more!! Hahaha...

Thursday (19/10)

Wah, this whole day I finished the drama and did not go out untill dinner time. I watched and watched and watched untill headache liao. Feel so free first time, never experience like this in past semesters. Dinner went out eat with housemates, went to that Hong Kong' Street there. Quite often to eat there last time with Cch, Cindy, Lisa and Koini. Wah, got a lot of things can say in the days in INTI. Late in the night, received a message that Friday's class cancel liao. Nevermind lor, went out for last mamak in INTI lor. Chat chat chat untill 3 sumthing in the morning baru want to go back. These days went out always being the sole male, no choice, my class only got 2 male. Mr Retish is a very obedient child, so could not come out with us. Haih, sigh.

Friday (20/10)

Woke up at 10am and started to pack my things and go back to hometown for one week study week. Must prepare well for my last subject and last final. All the best for my final!! Oh ya, before went home, I went to academic block, my secondary school's students were coming to INTI for visit. SOSAM had also prepared a crime scene to investigate who was the murder together with HIN HUA's students, they will carry out DNA fingerprinting in the lab, looks fun. I also want to join, but I have to go back already. So this was how my last week in INTI. It did not look special but it was a week with freedom and fun. GOODBYE, INTI!

Holidays End

Three weeks holiday is going to end in two more days. Basically, the 1st week was a week for movies and rest. The 2nd week was for IELTS and the last week was the week for drama and preparation for new semester. Next semester is going to be quite free, I have only one lecture for three days and not all the class start at 8 in the morning. However, I think I will have nothing to do during these free time also because there is no internet in my new place. Sigh!

Oh ya! Yesterday, went for a movie with some friends, the movie was "Snake On A Plane". I think the movie was quite good, as least I did not regret to watch it. But the moments you saw the snakes attacked people on the plane were very disgusting. It was not scary, but it was just disgusting, imaging the snake bit on your eyes or your mouth...some even....This was the first movie I watched in cinema during holiday, this period seem like not much nice movie to watch. Know what, during this holiday, always want to find friends out, but every time thinking of who to call, I just can list some. Friends seem like getting less and less and life is getting boring. What to do? I want something new, I want some change in routine day life. Even with high school friends, we just can like play badminton together or just mamak, nothing new we can do....I want to go clubbing, I want night life!!!!

Back to the normal day, sitting in the room, facing the laptop and writing for my blog... Later is going to play badminton, then at night maybe have a mamak because Wee Tat is going back to Taiwan tomorrow. Everything will turn into normal, start new semester, study, write reports and journal, I think the different things are class is split into two for Immunology and Biotechnology and I am staying in a new place.

These days the friends around are having some problems. Is it lucky not having this problem? Haha...At least they have a try on it, me not yet. What is the problem, do not know. Relate to personality, most probably.

So many things to write...because long time did not write already, but I feel like this blog is just a record...Need some new elements! What else to "record"? Emm...IETLS, do not how was the result, I am not worrying about the overall band but I am worried about the individual bands. My writing sure die, because I had nothing much to write. Haih. Luckily I had attended the workshop, the workshop was very useful, it taught you a lot of skills, especially in reading. Reading needs a lot of skills. Know what title for my speaking test? It was about a film that I had watched. I talked about "The Triangle", a movie with Bermuda Triangle. It is going to show in Astro, if you are interested can go and watch it.

In the end.. ..This is a boring afternoon, anyone want to call me out? Hehehehe....

Genting Trip

Wah, what a tired day! Just came back from Genting Highland after two nights staying there. The trip was quite fun because the weather was too good that you can play whatever you want to play at the outdoor themepark. Somemore, there was not a lot of people and so you don't have to wait for too long for your turn to play. This was the first time I went to Genting that I can play at the outdoor themepark there for the whole day untill the moment it closed. The first time I played at the night for the outdoor. For me, it was really worth to pay for the RM 36 entrance fee!! It was just FUN!!

This time, I am going with S3SJ's friends and there was 8 of us. 8 guys in the trip. I went up with Chee Fong and Wen Jye at Friday night and reached there about 11pm. A long long traffic jam to reach First World Hotel. We were just hanging around at Friday night and had a coffee at Coffee Bean there. It was cold and the wind was keep blowing onto your face, I like the feel. I wonder Klang or Nilai is like that all the time. Lol.

Yeah, Saturday was the most fun and exciting day for the trip, as it was the day for outdoor themepark. If I am not mistaken, the first game we were playing was the Corkscrew. The last time I came, it was underconstruction, this time I managed to play it, Yeah! After that, we played a lot of different rides available there. Since it was a shinny day, most of the rides were operating. We played Pirate train, Spinner, Cyclone, Bumper Boats, Space Shot and Sungei Rejang Flume Ride. I think among 8 of us, me, Chee Fong and Tee Tiang played the most. We had played Space Shot for three times (the last time was in the night and this was the first time I played Space Shot in the night), Corkscrew for at least five times, Cyclone five times, Spinner three to four times and once for the rest. Of course we also went and played the indoor Bumper Car even tough our ticket was only for outdoor. Hahaha...If the person incharge check our ticket, for sure we will be so embarrassing.

I think the most fun one should be the Sungei Rejang Flume Ride even tough we had waited for at least 45 minutes for our turn. We all got wet after the ride. Lol. Me and Jian Yuan were riding the last boat and me kept splasing water toward the people in the front boat. Imagine your whole body got wet while you were in Genting cold weather. Fun Fun Fun! At night, we wanted to ride for another time but we did not manage to do so as we were late to get there. Playing Space Shot was scaring but the feel was fun and relax. The most enjoyable and relaxing ride should be the Spinner. It was like you swing in the air. Close your eyes and keep your mind relax, feel the wind and mist and breathe the cold air. I would say we were at the right time to have chance to play all the rides. All of us were tired and went back to room after a one-day outdoor themepark play.

Another memorable trip. Now expecting for some other FUN FUN events during the holidays and hope I can do my best in IELTS. Good Luck!!

The Fourth Semester

The fourth semester final has come to the end. This time final only got 3 subjects, the least subject compare to the previous semester. The papers were not as hard as the lecturers said, quite ok to do the questions. Out of the three subjects, Biochemistry and Microbiology were the subjects with provided tips and all the questions in the paper were exactly as in the tips provided. Sometimes, I was wondering what is the purpose for exam? For those who just study for tips can score well in the paper and for those who study hard for all the topics not always can score well since not just study for the tips, so what you get from your effort is not equal. Equity? Management got study this topic, a manager must manage to set up an equity among his subordinate for a successful management.

Hopefully I am manage to get the result I want and apply for the University that I wish I can get some "attractive" offers from them. The ending of the semester meaning that I do not need to attend the stupid Genetics lecture class anymore. Not because of the subject problem, is the lecturer too weird that none of us can bear with her. I would prefer to have male lecturer than female, female is emotional animal. Stop wasting my time describing the stupid old woman, let's mention something about my holiday.

This time I am having three weeks holiday, is a good time to relax myself. However, I had registered for IELTS so need to spend sometime to prepare for it. Emm, this holiday is the first time that our class not having any trip to anywhere. Quite sad, right? Nevermind la, since I still can have a trip to Genting with S3SJ's friends.

Oh ya, next semester is a short semester with only two months and is also my last semester. Hopefully all the things can progress smoothly!
