uni: week one

the first week of uni has just gone by. to tell the truth i kinda do miss high school, but so far uni has been better than i had expected. hehe and i'm starting to actually know where buildings and stuff are located so i'm not getting lost as much =) the bad thing about uni is the big breaks that we get, and esp. with dent we can't actually choose our timetable or anything so that kinda sucks. i really enjoyed our prac class even though i got pretty tired after the three hours. another bad thing is the 8 o'clock days we get, lol so now i'm starting to get sleep deprived even though i go to sleep really early already.

...today i came back home from camp (which wasn't that great cos there was so much drinking and stuff there and the place was pretty dodgy - so not my type of camp)the first thing mum said to me when she saw me was like ' wow, what happened to your face?!' =.=" turns out i got around twenty mossie bites and nine of them were on my face! =( !!!!in the morning when i was brushing my teeth i only saw a couple and i already got pretty depressed then, so yeah, when i got home i felt waaay worser !(not that there is such a word but...) lol i must've looked pretty odd on the train and stuff with all those red spots on my face!

so altogether i've had a nice five days of uni complimented by a totally dodge weekend. i think that's enough complaining from me for the time being...

freerice.com

i visited the freerice website yesterday, initially with some doubt...i mean does anything come free in this world? but then i checked out the site and even went on the bbc news website to verify that freerice was not some con.

the idea of freerice is actually very simple, but also very clever too. it's a vocab game where for every word you get correct 20 grains of rice is donated by the ads that are on that page. you can help save people and improve your vocab at the same time.

just out of curiosity i decided to work out how much 20 grains of rice actually is. our kitchen scales aren't too great so i ended up having to count out 100 grains of rice to get a proper weight. 100 grains = approx 5 grams, so playing the game to get 1000 grains of rice = donating 50 grams of rice.

why not check out the website today? --> www.freerice.com

[2008 : year of the rat]


...hello kitty in chinese zodiac costumes, very cute!

i'm bored and hungry...not a good combination

it's 6:41 already! and i'm STARVING !!!! ok...maybe a lil exaggerated... anyhows i can't believe its already been like two months since end of vce...and less than a month till uni starts..omg i'm not ready for it yet!! i'm actually quite satisfied with what i've managed to do during these holidays so far, hehe i've baked choc-chip cookies =P, i went all the way to the city to get my tax file number, i got my L's (yay!), i cleaned my room (several times), i finally put up photos in facebook and lots and lots more ^^ only thing now is i need to find a part-time job....

[two minute picture + photoshopping]

colour is an interesting thing. it can create emotion effortlessly, without a single word. what an odd thing colour is...no shape, no form, no texture...yet it's still there...colour creates shape, reveals form, enhances texture...

is personality like colour? something that is physically intangible yet always there, and within itself personality holds some sort of life (in a figurative way)...

enrolment day @ monash

omg ... lol the parkville campus is soooo tiny! though it was prettier and much more modern than i had expected, so that was comforting :)
i couldn't believe how fast enrolment was...basically you just get your name ticked off, get a copy of the student diary and orientation booklet, take a photo for your student i.d. card(which i look horrible in!) and that's it! sally and i were gonna go to have a walk around the campus (not that there's much to walk around...)but most of it was blocked off cos they're still constructing...lol
...so then we decided to go to the bookshop to check out the books on our booklist. the books are all humungous and extremely heavy!! lol and expensive too!
yes, a rather uneventful enrolment day.... =.=
oh well, i hope orientation is much much better!!
