before uni starts...

hello all!
i got 3 more days before uni starts. back to school... and back to using my brains. my brain hasnt been working very well these few days.
i forget everything like where im supposed to go and what im supposed to do when im out and all that. and i keep losing things. i went out of the house without taking my card (key) once but luckily my housemate had already arrived by then so i could get into the house... >< oh and i came back and looked for my the card and thought i lost it but then i found it somewhere on my very messy study table. im clearing up..., ive cleared up a few times arleady since i got here. its amazing how fast it gets messed up again!

I've been going around places in adelaide. victor harbour was okay except when we walked around granite island it felt like walking through a desert.... hot, dry, windy. it wasn't good. except that when walking through a desert you usually don't get to see water all around you and a magnificent view of a town... or do you?

Oh and happy chinese new year to those i havent wished yet! i forgot about that. it doesn't feel very chinese new year-sy here. some of us got together for a little steamboat for dinner on new years eve tho. oh ya and i also got an angpao from my friend's mum who was here.
on new years day i went to see the sunset at henley beach and had dinner there with alicia, jan, ben and ahamad.
on monday it was cheryl's birthday so we threw a party for her at my unit (cuz i was still living alone) we had about 15 girls in this little house... :)
on tuesday i was invited to have dinner at ben and adamad's house cuz they wanted us to try their cooking so i got dinner and a ride home in ben's nice red subaru car... haha. (i went with jan)
on weds i cooked dinner with my housemate who finally arrived! had pasta... not much cooking involved :P housemate's name is Wendy. she's msian chinese and studying in city west campus.
tonight i had pasta again- leftover from yesterday. with some broccoli for greens.
yesterday i went to Harbour town which i thought was a town, but i found out just the day before going that it was a shopping center. well so-called shopping center. its a couple of rows of shops ... it looks like an enclosed area but its open air... so we did some shoppiung and spent quite alot of time there. :) it took us about 50 mins to get there tho. and about an hour to get back! its a long bus ride... to the shopping center.

today i had to sort out some stuff like buying stationery and notebooks etc. so stayed home. but i still cant buy my textbooks cuz im waiting for my friend to tell me which books she wants to sell and compare prices and all that....

i had to buy safety glasses for practicals and since im wearing glasses i dont have a choice and need to get the bigger one. how glam.

so anyway. i guess thats enough of an update.
life has been interesting. :)

goodnight.
