Aloha!
Yup yup yup.. its more of me and me and me and me again!!! Hahaha.. Bear with it, cos u wun get this kind of nonsense from me so often anyway. Ha.. So far so good, Start school for 2 weeks already. Well, really caught up with work. Yeah, I guess my workload isn't really heavey, just that I'm slower, hence needing more time to work on them. Yeah, blame it on my playfulness in the past, and my unwillingness to work. Now that I have to work 3 times harder than the rest of my peers, I can blame no one for it.. other than myself. Oh well, lets not harp on it anymore.
So i've been here for exactly 21 days already. 3 weeks.. A real busy 3 weeks have past. More busy time to come. Really really really not much time to enjoy myself, like wat most of you would suggested to me. My only time will be spent on MSN, trying to update everyone. But I guess my bloggy will still b my best way to update all of u one shot! Hahaha.. I really miss the times when I could spend my whole night chatting away on MSN with all of u.. but I guess its not really possible afterall. With the work chasing after me, even if my msn is on.. I bet its not really possible for me to chat much with u afterall. So u guys mus bear with me.. wait till i clear my assignments ok!! Wait for me..
So maybe I will just do a quick update for the past 3 weeks maybe.. let you have an idea of wats happening over at this sleepy town.
Week 1:
My Orientation week. Ho, wat a boring one. Hahaha.. Well, after my years in TP, I feel so silly to attend orientation here. Its a real weird feeling.. I've once again, become a NOOB. Yeah, feel so noobish on day 1 of orientation. Hahaa.. think of it, the number of orientations I've work on.. From Mentor's mentor to mentee.. Oh gosh.. Hahaa.. It was indeed some real dumb orientation. Just endless talks and more and more and more talks.. Nah.. boring!
Then went to settle my accomodations, only then get to know that I have no where to stay. Ho.. Thanks to UOW for doing this to me!!! No permanent place to stay and all alone in Sleepy Town. I never want to go thru it ever again. Its really really very scary. That day, I was so scare that I went back to my room at the inn and cried. Totally lost and so scare. I didn't even dare to call back home at first. I tried other means to get help over here.
Then after 2 nites at the inn, I moved out and bunk in with some guys that I met the previous day. It was so scary. I only got to know them for less than 24 hours and I'm actually moving into their place.. Hey, mind you, I dun even do that back in Singapore. Wow.. Thats a real scary experience I will say. Then I stayed there for another 2 nites before I finally settle down at my permanent place here at Robsons Road. During that 2 days, I went around and scout for houses. Visiting different places, house after house. Still can't get one that I'm really comfortable with. Then finally got this place. I'm really grateful to get this place already. Not too expensive. Not too far from school. Just a less than 30 mins walk from school. I quite enjoy it here actually thou everything seems abit run down. So after moving in, another guy drove me around the town to get all the stuff I need. So there I go, settled down... and time to get settle into this kind of lifestyle.
U bet those days were really scary. Totally lost. Totally hopeless. I didn't even dare tell anyone esp my family much about it actually. Now that everything has been settled, hahaa, so none of you will worry about it when I speak of it now. I have no wish of letting anyone worry abt these little things about me.
Since getting my accomodation settled, everything has been going on quite smoothely for me. Met a CEN senior over here. Winston is his name. he graduated in 2001, hahaha..when he grad, I jus joined TP. So interesting. He is really helpful to me. He even gave me all the books for all the subjects. And his notes too. Really grateful for his help. Last sunday he still drove me around the sleepy town to get my printer, some food and showed me around some places. Of cos, winston wasn't the only one who has been helping me.. There were Billy, Dexter, Wilson, Yang, John, Jason.. and many many others. The guys were really nice to me. Really got to thank god!
Lucky me..
Week 2:
School started.. I was so overwhelmed by my timetable. Haiz.. U just got to see those big holes I have in the time table! But I guess I have no other coice but to stick to it.
Lessons were hard. I was worried sick. So much to learn, but yet I couldn't understand wat the lecturer was talking about. I'm so scare to even raise my hand in the lecture hall. Never in my life have I got so worried abt not understanding the content of any lectures I've attended. Yeah, I've definitely changed my attitude towards my studies already. I've learnt my lessons the hard way. Definitely must learn from my idol.. andrew. his attitude towards his work. Ask for nutting less than perfect..
"If you could get 100 marks, why settle for 99?"
-Got this from TV a long time ago-
So I even read up on my lecture notes prior to lesson. Thou I couldn't understand abit of it. I guess I should just push on. I believe one day, I will be able to understand the lesson fully before I even step into the lecture hall. Trying out every single question of the tutorial is a must for me.. definitely. I will work hard on it.. Do everyone proud!
Week 3:
Labs started to come in. I'm pretty fine during lab sessions, except that I'm alittle slow. Thou I couldn't finish al my lab assignments, but no fret, I've got matlab and java stuff all in my lappy, so I can work from practically anywhere anytime.
I'm still facing a great deal of problems with my tuts and lectures thou. But i'm working on it.
I made a great deal of friends. All over the world. Africa, India, Hong Kong, China, Indonesia, Malaysia and the list goes on..
So maybe thats all I have to update. Do email me often, or just drop me a msg on msn.. I'm always there for everyone.. just like everyone is always there for me.. Haha. Anyway, I've uploaded somepictures I've taken over here.. Enjoy!
Between now and then, till I see you again, I'll be loving you..
Love,
Me
