Of to A Good Start

9th April 2007 (Mon)

It's now 12.50am and I'm currently in Sze Ching's room, updating my blog while he's soundly asleep. It's not so nice to upload too many pictures now cause his internet is not free even though it is relatively cheap (2 cents per mb). Still, he is generous to say, "It's ok. You can do whatever you want." Terima kasih banyak-banyak!

Sydney trip so far has been good.

Day 1
-Reached Sydney at 9.15pm (3 hours 15minutes bus ride)
-There's actually a toilet in the bus.
-They also make announcements like when we board the plane, "Welcome to Murrays. To ensure your safety, please tighten your seatbelt..."
-I slept almost the entire journey.
-Met Uncle Tommy(Sze Huey's uncle) and Uncle David(Uncle Tommy's friend) for the first time.
- Went for a 25-minute ride around Sydney to see how happening it is at night.
- Had supper in Uncle Tommy's place. Aunty Agnes (Uncle Tommy's wife) cooked Bak Kut Teh, Karipuff, Spring Roll, Fish Curry, Duck, Rendang, and mussel(dunno the spelling) especially for us. That was no doubt, the best supper I've had in Australia!
-Watched Wah Lai Toi for the first time (Uncle Tommy subscribes to Astro kinda thing here)
-Slept in the living room.


Day 2
-Went to University of Sydney (USYD) for the first time for the Sports Carnival. Participants are from University of Macquarie, UNSW, USYD, and University Technology of Sydney(UTS).
-Chean Yeaw, Yoong Wai, and Quanyie represented Macquarie for volleyball. Nice =D I'm sure you all are eager to see their picture on the court. Here it is:-

Try spotting all three of them =)

-They lost but the most important thing is it was fun watching them play. I lost a bit of my voice while cheering though. Also met Yu Han, Wan Mit, Chia Ling, Selina, Audrey, Kuan Yuen, and Merlin.

Look..UQ and Melbourne Uni Friends were here as well. And I'm quite sure that Amir was taking picture of the person who was taking this picture.

-Took some pictures in front of USYD too.

The one at the bottom left if Kuok Hau, my secondary schoolmate, currently studying in Wollongong. Super happy to meet him. He got along well with my INTEC friends. Oh ya, USYD looks like Hogwards, isn't it?

Joke of the Day:

Shuey: Does the principal here looks like Dumbledore?
Sze Ching: Yes, it's just that he's fatter.

Thanks for reading =D
