And then We went to Siena's...

Group photo in front of the school 'gate'...

Train down to Leederville!

Cheers! For a better life!

Pizza... Pasta... Wine... Life cannot get any better then this... Oh wait it can!

Derek and Eunice acting silly in the middle of the street! =x

Train ride back!

Siena's is great as usual... For the price it's good food! Comes down to $19 per head... Pretty worth it... While I had concession tickets... The rest of them spent $9 for the train ride... Oh well... At least we had a great time wining and dining...

2-Week Full-Time Students!

Outside Perth airport... We were all in t-shirts... But it was bloody freezing! Great to see them again... Been more then 8 months since I last saw some of them...

Photo Derek took of Moko at my pace... They stayed over for 1 night at my place... Moko is still everyone's favorite bitch! =x

Lucretia, Eunice and Sharon posing outside the place they rented... I'm in the background! I wonder why I'm in the background...

The place they rented... Lovely... Is it not?

Like I said, great to see them again... They start school on monday, for a 2 weeks intensive labs and tutorials in ECU. This 2-weeks of on campus activities serve to supplement what they learnt off campus...

Got Limited!

The one thing I hate about Australia is the internet system... While in Singapore, the price plans are based on internet connection speed... the price plans of Australia's internet are based on bandwidth! A very sinister way indeed! So you get a plan of say 20gb per month... Once you used up your 20gb... 1 of 2 things happens... Either your internet speed gets limited or you get charged extra for every byte of datum (hey! this is the singular of data!) you download! In my case... The internet connection got limited... Oh well...

So for the last 2 week I battled with sluggish internet connection... With connection that slow... Who can be bothered to blog? So that's that! My internet is back up... So I will resume blogging soon...

In other news... Friends from afar will finally arrive in Perth for their intensive 2 weeks exercise physiology and biomechanics hell... Good luck...

Quack! Quack! Quack!

While packing my bag this morning, for reason unknown to self... I popped my camera into my bag... And I was too lazy to take it out... So I just went to school with it... While on my way back from Uni... I spotted this family of ducks walking around the campus's lake! I guess it's not very special to Australians... But hey... We don't have ducks running around campus in Singapore (or lakes on campus...)...

The photos are not really great... But damn... They are cute!

Tried Being Creative...

I would serenade her...

But I can't sing...

Or play a musical instrument...

For I have no muscial talent...

I could paint a portrait of her...

Unfortunately I have no artistic talent...

I tried to write her a poem...

Only to discover I have no literary talent...

I told her I will win a medal in her honour...

But I have no sporting talent...

I wish I could charm her with my looks...

But I looked into the mirror and all is shattered...

So in the end I will just lay down on the tracks...

And wait for the next train to roll by...

Nah... Not planning to kill myself... Just trying to be creative! (Or stupid... You be the judge...) My post count seems to be really really low this month... Half the month gone... And this is only my 5th post... It's been a boring month after all... I'm totally looking forward to the 26th of the month... When my friends from Singapore flies over to Perth for their 2-weeks intensive sports science lab in ECU... As for now... I should go back to write my report on Wingate testing... Active recovery... Passive recovery... Oh no!

On another note... If there's a survey on household consumption of pizza... I'm sure we are way up there... Way up...

A Pug Named Oliver!

Enshrined forever in a piece of art!

The artist! Nadia with her painting... And her equipments!

Photo of a rainbow I captured the other day while watching Murdoch thrash Hamersley... We are still at the bottom of the table! We are pretty much gonna be relegated!

Didn't blog for the week... Cause it's mid-term week... And exams are boring... All I did the previous 5 days is work... Sleep... Eat... Study a bit... Go take the exam... Go home and sleep somemore...

Got back the result of my first paper, exercise physiology by the end of the week... Actually scored 94%... Mwahaha... Which is a shock to me... Cause I only attended 1 lecture the whole semester... The lecture before the exam... Don't tell my lecturer! =x Hopefully the score for my biomechanics and statistic paper will be decent... Hopefully...

It's a Little Late Girls...

But I won't blame you girls too much... =x After all what's better then opening a birthday card and finding money inside?

Ta-da! 5 ringgit! That's 2 Singapore dollar... And 1.6 Australia dollar... Oh well... Not much I can buy with that sorta money...

It's came at an unexpected time... It was a pleasant surprise... Because my birthday was 1 month back... =x Thanks! Hehehe...

Rib Eye Steak... Bones Included!

Have not been blogging because nothing moderately exciting been happening in my life... Because studying is not exciting at all... But I cooked something different today... So I guess it's worth writing about...

A piece of meat!

Does not remain merely a piece of meat long in my hands...

Lightly rubbed with salt and pepper... Roasted at 200degrees for around 25 minutes for medium well... Served with instant mash potato and canned vegetable! =x Hey! The main thing is the meat... 500gm worth of meat... I like meat... Give me a piece of steak and I will smile the whole day...

On the other hand... Is there any sorta steak eating challenge in Perth? Those eat 1kg of steak in a certain amount of time thingy? =x

I also broke my glasses over the week... Was wiping it clean when I broke it with my fingers?!? The strength training at school is paying off... LOL!

Second week of the 8 week programme... Feeling damn fine... Sure... The muscle biopsy sucks... But the training and gym session (hey! It's free!) is great!

10 Places I Wanna Visit Before I DIE!

When I post lists like this... It usually mean I'm studying... Because making travel plans relieve my stress greatly... HEHEHE... In no order of ranking or merit or which 1 I will go first... The list of 10 places I wanna visit before I kick the bucket!

The tallest member of the World Federation of Great Towers... At 553m... It's a sight! I bet the view from above is perfect... Located in Toronto, Canada... I have a thing for towers... Visited Seoul Tower, Tsutenkaku, Nagoya TV Tower and Tokyo Tower... Will visit more... And more... And more...

Mount Everest... I used to be in Everest house back in secondary school... I always think the house system is stupid... Cause it breaks up class cohesion... It's not like we are a boarding school with residential houses... We go home at 1pm! Located in Nepal, near the border between Nepal and China... It's more traditional Tibetan name being Chomolungma... Not that I want to scale it(impossible!)! I just wanna glare at it and shed tears of joy at the base camp...

The Rungrado May Day Stadium in Pyongyang, North Korea... The greatest sports stadium in the World! With a capacity of 150,000! The last time an international football match was played there resulted in a riot of sort... Now 150,000 rioting is not a situation I wanna be in... Or near...

The Grand Canyon! When I was younger... I pictured a really big box of crayon... Until someone corrected my illusion and my spelling mistake... Located in Arizona, in the Grand Canyon National Park... Said to be cutted by the Colorado River over 2 million years... Either way... Really impressive...

Great Pyramid of Giza... In Cairo, Egypt... Within the Sahara desert! The last reminding seven wonders of the anicent World... A very frequent visitor of people's top 10 travel destination list... A cliche of a choice... But I STILL WANT TO SEE IT!

The Colosseum in Rome, Italy... The stadium of choice of ancient Roman blood sports... Many gladiators must have given up their life in that... In the name of entertainment! Luckily violent in sports have subdued... Now we usually just have football hooligans hitting each other...

The Uluru, located in the Northen Territory of Australia... The biggest piece of rock in the World! I have nothing much to say about it... I just want to see it!

The Eiffel Tower in Paris, France... Never meant to be a permanent structure... The inspiration behind Tokyo Tower... If Godzilla is French, he would attack the Eiffel Tower! Apparently my bro-in-law proposed to my sis on top of it (or so they claim in their wedding presentation!)... The location of choice for many romance cliche... A definite must see!

Anatarctica! The biggest continent in the World without a country! The coldest, driest and windiest region in the World! And the biggest desert in the World (remember kids! a desert is a region with little or no rain... Anatarctica qualifies!)! I just wanna go there to cuddle a penguin... Provided they don't bite me...

Saint Basil's Cathedral... In Moscow, Russia... I mean... Look at it! It's huge... It's colourful... And it's covered in onions! I remember seeing it in the Britannia Encyclopedia when I was 5(what the hell am I reading an Encyclopedia at 5 for?!? For a start... It's there...), and have wanted to visit it since... It was the first building I though of today when I started compiling my list... A proof of its impact on my little mind back then...
