a shout-out from down under

hi guys, hope you all are doing well still since the last time i saw you all =)

i'm screaming for help even after the 3rd day of uni, or to be exact, the 2nd day since yesterday was a free day =S for the first sem, the other half of the cohort has this community placement thingy every tues, which makes it a free day for this half of us, and then we swap in the next sem. but even though we have a 4 day week, there's still 20+ hours with almost 8am-5pm on all days. can you imagine, 6 1-hour lectures every wednesday? :(

and also, they made a lot of changes to their teaching style this year, claiming that it's to help us transit into year 3 where there's more "self-directed learning". so got lots more reading and self-studying to do. in my friend's words, we are paying an enormously high amount of school fees for the lecturers/tutors to slack. bleah.

more or less settled down at my new place, but still getting used to it, like i have to turn switches on and off cos i still don't know which one turns on which set of lights. my landlord/landlady are pretty nice people so that's cool. not to mention that i have a nice housemate too, so yeahs :) oh, and thank god the weather's pretty alright in Melbourne now, sometimes hot but at night it's still pretty chilly, so no longer suffering from the heat for now.

what started out to be an update of how i'm doing back in Melbourne kinda seemed to have turned out into complaints and rants. oops. guess i should stop here for now then. take care you all, i miss you!

love lots,
jas =)

Ktv@cine!

Hey hey! This is the group photo for our ktv @ cine! :) a few days before zx and I leave for aus. So sorry guys for the late posting. Surrounded in a big mess now, with everything strewn around everywhere in my new apt. Nothing's being packed at all but finally have my internet connection!
wy and zx left 1st after taking photo, after which at 11 plus, adrian and joel left just in time to take train home followed by sy. We were told that if after 1am, if nobody still came to take over the room, we could sing up till 6am! Hahaz so we continued till ~3am, lionel, jas and I decided to leave 1st and take taxi home. Left with chin and zh who wanted to make full use of the hours. Wonder if they manage to indeed stay up and sing all the way till 6am without falling asleep :P

Thanks guys for the great company and fun!! I guess I won't be able to see many of you guys till at least yr end, while as for lionel, it'll for a few yrs to come! Not forgetting the rest of our class peeps in uk, us and canada too! As for the aussie peeps, haha I'll see ur in melb then.

Here's an early happy CHINESE NEW YEAR to everyone! May ur get lots of hong bao! :D
