Well. With swi pressuring me to update my blog.. here i am.. haha
anyway.. yeah so far everything's fine over here.. been going out wif my neighbours or vet pple in my spare time.. just exploring.. abit of window shopping.. and BUYING GROCERIES...
ok this place is really much more liberal and the pple are much more vocal ard here... the guys and pervs will be happy to know that they show RA stuff after a certain time at night. oh yeah and they're age limit for RA movies is 18... haha and they have alot of adverts with double meaning... here's an example... it's an ad for a mint sweet (not the chewy type)..
the ad starts off wif a guy and a woman lying in bed and the woman is just turning awa from him. the guy looks embaressed and says sorry... the woman just smiles and reaches for a mint out of a packet on the side table. the caption? " At least some things in life stay smooth, hard and long-lasting..." go figure.
but i must mention one thing. aussie ads are usually not so straightforward as the one above. .. most of the time.. they are just plain stupid, lame or incomprehensible... seriously.. i dunno howmany times me n my housemate/neighbours have watched an ad and go HUH?!.. they seriously dont make sense...
oh yes and the on-campus halls are all mixed. yeah and the toilets in the halls(or collages as they call them here) are also mixed.. even the showers... BUT they have seperate cubicles la.. what are u thinking u pervert?! haha.. anyway alcohol consumption is allowed in the halls.. in fact one of their daily rituals is to get themselves drunk at the end of everyday... they drink beer like water... cos it is so cheap here...
alcohol is also allowed in the uni.. plus smoking is allowed too.. of course not in buildings la.. they have a pub in the uni.. called the u bar.. and they frequently organise pub crawls...
anyway.. they show ALOT of SIMPSONS here! my fav! yay!!! haha i watch the simpsons practically everyday here... oh and they also show alot of CSI! All 3 of them! :)
oh btw the textbks here are REALLY expensive.. practically everybook is ard A$100 - 200 .. yes and i'm sooo glad i got mcmurry back in s'pore.. cos it's over a hundred bucks here... ok i know this blog entry seems to have no structure.. i seem to be just mumbling.. cos that is exactly what i am doing... i'm just writing watever comes to mind....
heh i CAN cook ... yes i can.. i've been cooking dinner all by myself for the past few days.. me n housemate taking turns each week... and seriously they taste quite good... haha!
well going off on a mini expedition this weekend.. it's a introductory trip organised by the mountaineering club(yes i know it's shocking but i'm in it).. going to the cathedrals national park(wherever that is) for a weekend of kayaking, rock climbing and bushwalking... have to pack! argh!
oh yes... i also want to mention.. the pple here are really vocal.. in class and out of class.. in lectures they really do put up their hands to ask qns or answer them.. and they have alot of rallies going on.. they are forever handing out flyers and stuff and asking pple to sign petitions against the war in iraq.. and once i saw this grp of pple protesting against deforestation or sumthing and there were mounted police( abit of er kiasuism in my opinion.. the grp was so small! normal policewould be fine.. y bring the horses in?!) anyway melb is quite dead compared to other places like sydney.. but that's good.. cos although there's not much to do.. it's also safer.. the riots in sydney have been going on for a long time now and pple are still at it...
ah well i tink i've said enuff.. will update more when more stuff gets into my head...
