Faculty
woo~ just got my finest shower just now. its the warmest day this morning. blistering sun. shine through my window and woke me up (and its just 10 am.zzz) I'd check the temperature and it is actually 1°C-3°C. sweat.
Had taken many pics when i am yet to have internet service. Tour to my faculty far from my hostel, new building, factory facade, interior and everything. well, it used to be a factory a year before and now its my school. the building itself. i dunno whether information and details can be found online or not, but i was told that this building had won quite a number of awards including design, most sustainable building and dunno what else. and it cost 6mil. more expensive than Michael Owen.
it was 8mil but had budget constraint of 6mil, so they had to remove stuff include the wall for the studios on ground floor. resulting a very weak sound insulation throughout the whole "factory" i had class in studio. hardly hear what the tutor and lecturer is talking. furthermore during the rain, you will suspect yourself a deaf.
some projects and models done by previous students found in studio on the third floor. As far as i know, there are 5 studios for different level of students. 4 tutor rooms and 2 lecture halls. (information unconfirmed)
a view of Tamar river from one of the studio's window. feel like going out there under the shelter and hanging out on the bridge? well go on if you want your ribs freeze out.
unlimited source of timber. haha. yea~ for making model and stuff. one small part of this building is use for research in timber thingy. UTAS and one Uni of Fine Furniture (information unsure) are researching the timber (quite abundant here) and thus creating lots and lotsa timber boards.90% of this building are built from timber. everything everywhere is timber boards. And this customized piece of wall beside the staircase are widely produced and fixed throughout the building, as wall, ceiling, and some decorative purpose. Nice~ besides, every partitions and interior walls are made of timber board without further finishing. summary: interior = timber, exterior = steel. so you can actually see the flaw at the joints, code and labels on the boards are remained. well, it actually created a quite unique condition(for me).
2 computer labs with 100% Mac. So far for me i still prefer pc. All just because Mac doesn't have right-click (in my own dictionary). Download stuff here is fun because the speed can start from 2mb/s and drop to 300+kb/s. woot~ kickass speed.
oh ya.. there is 1 ping pong table and (do we call that) ping-pang-pie or table tennis racket. when you get bored in the lecture hall, feel free to play ping pong with some friends here. High five~
there is 1 lounge and some discussion spaces too. besides, shower rooms are provided because students overnight at the school is expected. fridge and ASM also provided.
Its kinda nice building but the sound insulation and (*new 1) smell insulation are bad. I dunno whether is there a cafe or kitchen around ( i cant see any) but during lunch time, i can smell delicious food, bought by other students from outside. its like you cant see them eating but you can smell them.

Sydney > Launceston
-8th July 2007-
Sydney.. After going through some luggage scan and stuff, I asked an officer about the domestic transit. Then I follow what he told me and gone to Qantas domestic transit. Queue there for like 20 minutes and more. Ahh~ finally it was my turn.. I showed him the ticket and he told me I was at he wrong place… omg… wtf… so shameful la…. He told me roughly where should I go which I don’t really know what he is talking about. He’d written some notes for me which I thought it would be enough for me to go to the right place. Then I walked back out to Sydney airport… compare to KLIA Sydney airport are just too small… tiny. I was still lost in the airport. Its not that its big till I got lost, its tiny as I said, its because I have no idea where should I go to…zzz…I asked some people in the information counter, and got really good information. Alright, I actually still dunno how to interpret my flight ticket. I dunno why they print the word Qantas near the bottom of the ticket which draw me to focus on Qantas airlines. Bloody. I actually need to go out from the airport, took a 5aud bus ride to another domestic terminal, named jet star.
There goes my bloody 5aud. It was 10 am and It was too early for me to check in. therefore I spent 1hour ++ there, sitting at the railing doing nothing. Yeah~ before that, when I just reached, I go to Qantas service lane. Queued there, they told me that my ticket was issued by jet star and I have to go to the other counter to check in. then only I know I have to wait till 11.30pm to check in to Launceston. Bloody shameful la…noob ass Caucasian dunno how to interpret the bloody ticket. What a shame. After check in, I don’t dare to go in yet cuz the person who checked me in said something like I cant dunno what what what (sorry la.. Tarak ingat liao) untill its 12.20pm. But then, I go observed. I saw people actually went in, so I ikut saja lah… go queue with my trolley… I already felt weird cuz nobody else is pushing a trolley except myself. After few more steps 1 guy came and ask me to put away the trolley…walao… another what-a-shame case. OMG. During the baggage scan, (this 1 was the strictest among all the scans I went through) they actually asked us to take out our laptop from the bag to get scan separately. My laptop bag kena. Zzz… they found a pair scissor in my laptop bag. (terrorist~!@#) which I don’t remember putting it inside until it was shown to me. Swt. There goes my scissor… went down to the shopping area and gates. Ignore the shopping and I walked straight to my gate. I remember clearly it was gate 57, and I cant see my flight to Launceston on the screen. Stated that I have to shown the boarding pass no later than 1220pm. Looked at the time, it was 1218pm already. Shocky~ I was getting nervous… I dunno what to do… T.T the word Qantas was all over the place… even in gate 57... Qantas haunt me~~ once again I have to shamefully go to Qantas desk behind gate 57 to ask them to confirm my boarding pass… sigh… they just told me to look at the screen, which doesn’t help much. Suddenly, dunnoy why I walked pass gate57 screen and I saw the bloody Launceston… haha… damn~ but I am still unsure whether I miss it previously so many times or it just pop up.
Now lets talk about this jet star. They don’t have the bridge thing to link us directly into the plane. The plane is smaller and its known as air bus. It was raining mildly, I followed the crowd in a queue, walked outside and took a staircase into the jet, like what we saw in tv and movies. Shocking is the walking path is super narrow. I had to put my hand luggage above some other seats, and forced myself back to my seat. Oh how unbearable. The seats were so packed and crammed. I can hardly move my legs. Another window seat for me but I don’t care. I slept even before it took off, woke up only when it was landing. Peaceful journey. There was a Chinese guy to pick me up as well as a girl from US and A. The air was cool and freezing, just like what its like when I was in Sydney. The Chinese guy is actually my senior doing architecture, he is from Singapore. He drove me to get an optus sim card and 9bucks double pack pillow. I actually stuck them 2 into 1 pillow case. They were too soft to be called pillow. He brought me to McD and I had my lunch-dinner there. Then it was getting dark and I settled into my room. It was freezing out there. I dare you to go stand outside for 5 minutes wearing singlet and short pants. Yeah limys I am talking to you~!! Cheers~

-7th July 2007-
Around 8.30pm I reached KLIA, with the company of my dad, mom, my younger bro, my old-aunt and my cousin. Right after the door opens, I met Hee, ys and cs. 10 secs later, I met Johnny , st and kent. All of them promised to send me off to Aus. Hanging around with them while waiting for the long queue to check in. Took some pictures and having some yi yi bu she time. I was having problems during my check-in, the officer said they have to arrange the seat for me, aka the seats were full. My dad was so nervous, keep on giving pressure to the person in charge. In the end, I was given a Golden Club Class instead of economy class. Cool~~ sadly it was not business class, just a 1st class. Avice: check in as late as possible the next time you board a plane.
After hugging and waving goodbye, my lonesome journey begins. I stepped out from the lift, pulling 2 baggage, heading towards places I’ve never been. It would be the 1st time for me to be at the terminal. Those procedures and stuff were all new to me. I was kinda nervous not knowing what to do. But for the sake of my image, I act cool and calm all the time, while at the same time observing carefully what others are doing so that I can somehow follow what they did. I noticed that the main terminal building was very big, with a forest in the middle of the terminal. Haha… finally I saw it… I did a research about KLIA last year in my final and now I got the chance to see it myself. Great~ Directly I board the transit train and walked some distance to my gate. It was a long queue at the waiting room. I queued like what others were doing, for like 10 minutes and realized I was heading to Rotterdam. Rupa-rupanya Sydney lane kat sebelah…zzz
In the plane… woohoo… I got first class seat… muahhaa… some more its beside window… syokz.. Took some pictures… now I feel kinda exciting going to Sydney. Sincerely before that, I feel nothing… lolz… I have no feel even I am going to fly to somewhere else in the next 24 hours. I was sitting there, trying to figure out how to get those tv and stuff to work. Can’t do it too obviously cause face problem. If people found out that I was this noob then where should I place my face? The seat was spacious. Not long later, the stewardess pushed in a trolley with satays. I was called mr. Liu through out the whole journey… macam adult liao… haha… I ate quite a lot of chicken satays… damn. They were even better than satay zul. I ordered apple juice as told by johnny it’s the best juice on plane. Not long later, she show me the menu and I ordered my dinner. Then she brought some breads, I chose the garlic bread cuz I dunno what’s the name for the rest… zzz.. After that, she brought us one kind of western spaghetti with prawns which is cold and tasteless. That was suppose to be the appetizer but I was already filled with satays. After that, my beef steak was served. Steak is best serve with -- wine~ I ordered red wine. French one. Nice. But I was too full to describe how the steak taste like. After the main dish was the dessert. Nice. I watch a lame honking movie before I slept. For like 2 hours, the stewardess woke me up for the continental breakfast. C’mon~ it was 4 in the morning.. Who eat breakfast at this time? Furthermore I am still full la… I chose a bread and a muffin. I ate the bread and toss the muffin back after 2 bites. Disgusting muffin full of raisins and some dunno what. Johnny! Itu muffin tarak sedap la… drink 2 glass of strawberry health drink, sort of like yogurt drink. Then I was too full I even neglected the yummy yogurt… sigh… not long later, we reached Sydney. It was 8 am in Australia time. I realized that the purpose of the stewardess waking us up is to suit the Australia time zone. To help us to fit ourselves to it. Another long queue at the custom. Which typical of myself, following what others are doing. Grab my baggage at the collection area, got my passport checked by 2 officers. Tot I am a terrorist? Lolz.
some pictures... ahh~~

Geez
For how long I've been slacking? Not really long nia. I found that while i was pausing everything about my blog, everyone else were pratically doing the same thing i did.
You might ask me : so how? 2 more days to go... how do you feel? how about your gf?
How do i feel? Mixed feelings. Gf? I dunno how to asnwer you.
Lately I've been flooded by question asking me which part of Australia I ma go to.
I am going to be a Tasmanian Devil.
I do not have an external harddisk. So i have been transfering data from my pc to my laptop. Triring. Toilsome.
Not long ago, 5 hours after i got my laptop, I did something stupid to it end up with me formatting it. The problem is harddisk calshing. I lost the preset allocated hd for Dell Media Direct. As well lost some backup files set in by Dell and the factory settings. Not long later, about a few days, I did something wrong again. Much as well the same root causing problem--- the Vista compatibility. Format lagi.. install balik the stuff... and most importantly, found 2 great vista compatibility software and hardware list online. Bookmarked.
SO.. I hope everything has been palned well, by God.
Launceston, Tasmania.. probably 1 of the most backward location in Aus. AS xyn said : ulu, Crystle (hopefully i spelled it correct) said : dull... I say : YES. I KNOW. I HAVE NO CHOICE THOUGH.
For it, I made a pledge to whom-it-may-concern, I'ma study hard when i got there. This is a promise.
溏心风暴 very nice. watch it or regret not watching it. If you have the chance. Ending theme very nice... 心领 by 林峰 + 钟嘉欣.

New Gadgets
WAH~~ xuan's laptop is so damn cool rite~!! I am currently copying pictures from a camera to my pc. 1st tiem for me to do so.... haha.. I took some picture of my laptop, its cherryred burlwood covering the front.... not as nice as i thought it would be.... boring.. the Dell Inspiron 6400. I think all dell has a same facade. In 潮爆大状 everyone is using it.
Some view of it.... give opinion... the important part : speX
2GB (2 X 1024MB) 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM (1gb was given to me free!)
120GB SATA Hard Drive
8X DVD+/-RW
256MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 7300 TurboCache
Running Window Vista
Wireless, ADSL, Card reader, Bluetooth
It cost me MYR4200 and I bought it online. Dell wor... zzz... my bro recommended to me and i always listen to him. I am goodboy. Yesterday my mom offer to fetch me to buy a new pair of shoes. I dunno what shoes to buy but she brought me to a place in front of the post office. There sells whole lots of footwear. I was forced to buy a pair of shoe there. I was like so blank because I never really thought of buying any shoes at the moment. FYI, I owned a pair of hang-kai nike, soccer nike, cloth-material dr.cardin. I think its enough for me but the tauke intro me a pair of running adidas, and my mom says i need to exercise also when i get there. Which i think it makes sense. Finally, she brought the MYR160 adidas running for me. I am totaly thankful for it. Grateful. Even she was like buying a pair of low usage shoe for me. I dunno when will i have the chance to use it, to wear it. But faith is i know someday in the future i will certainly need it.

Happy Birthday
I remember you remembered me when you saw me in SABS form 1. I remember you brought me into football and many other things. I remember you scolded me many times. I remember how you cared for me when my head was spinning on that hill. I remember today is your birthday.

I am sick
This would be the 3rd night that i've been sick. this morning my dad brought me to see doctor. i was given 3 kinds of pills. and yet my throat is burning, i feel like vomit the throat out and smoothen it with some sorts of sandpaper. my body is so damn weak i can hardly stay awake for 1 hour. i feel like i want to die. whenever i am sick, i think of dying to set myself free from this torchering. but just one short and mindless thought, i wont do that. i am afraid of death. this morning i heard a news about 4 malays raping a girl in front of her boyfriend. they hit the boy and used his life as a threat and ask for the girl to let them rape. what the fuck is wrong with these 4 Malays? i hope Allah know what to do with these assholes. i hate rapists. rapists are malays. i hate malays.
i am currently waiting the offer letter from Newcastle. i cant afford to take the risk to Tasmania. FYI, Tasmania U had changed the title of Bachelor of Archi to Master of Archi. which is a totaly mindless decision made in Feb this year. Untill now, the Pertubuhan Akitek Malaysia (PAM) has not yet recognise the new title for the same old course. the architect programme has always been a double degree. part 1 and part 2. now the Tasmanian who thought they can change the world by being the 1st to have the courage to change the title of the course ruined it all. the debate is still going on but the 1st batch of the students there has not yet graduate. in a great chances i might change my destination to Newcastle to meet AiLi and Santi.

Why cappucino? as if i have other choices like latte and mocha... accept it. And the 结婚 on the upper left corner... totally nothing to do with anything k... i am still wondering why the designer have to highlight it... Although i know my profile there got a bit cacat, but i dunno how to correct it... the profile is generated by blogger itself... i cant edit it, if i want to keep my lengzai photo on my site.

journal
Monday. when i woke up, it was afternoon already. the final 2 days for the free 1gb ram dell promo. i double checked my dell cart, never forgotten that it was the day i was going to sg. lembing. Ok, i did argue with my dad during lunch time.
Not for long untill hee stopped by. gave me my long waited genting trip's pictures. at the mean time, i rush to bath and packed my things to go sg. lembing. i hop in his car, went to get weikee and stopped by xuan's house. straight away i heard limys's voice. he was already there with his new man utd travelling bag. i saw it was a long bag. 3 minutes later, hx along with wb, terry arrived. i was not in great mood because of the laptop inccident earlier the same day. i kept quiet most of the time. later, we went to pick sy up. went into his house, then his room. i felt something about sy when i was in his room. jsut something i dunno how to express in words. after the short stay, we headed towards sg.lembing.
I asked about wk's laptop. How much he bought his hight tech gaming laptop should be kept a secret. But anyways, that machine is a MONSTER. Not for long we reached our destination. met up with mc, jb and qy. we went to the house belongs to mc's grandma. wooden house. those old time kampung house. very nice. got a river behind it. All the switchs were dark,round and old. We prepared the fire, we started bbq. everything went on smoothly. it was warm around the bbq rack. most of us guys took off our shirt. i had to admint i ate 5 wings. i knew i was kinda over. therefore, i ate the others less. i felt like drinking a lotsa water. sy told me everytime he saw me i was holding a cup. hence, i decided to style myself with a cup-in-hand throughout the rest of the night. after bath, we took a stroll down around sg lembing. it was midnight. we walked a big circle round sg. lembing. some of us even went down to the river, to cross the river. 1 hour of tiring-and-lotsa-dogs-around-barking-at-us-and-disturbing-the-neighbourhood walk.
we even pass through the cemetry~ bangga. Went home, without doing much, i slept. untill 5 am, all of us woke up. going to go for mountain climbing. i was reluctant to do so. even before i hop on to hee's car, i had a feeling i am not going to climb this time. dont ask me why. sometimes some weird feeling strikes me without reason. randomly. i continue sleeping as they enjoyed the sunrise ontop of the hill. on 11 am, we went back to kuantan. i suppose all of them were sleeping after they reached home.
Reached home. i online awhile and settle the laptop bikin again. this time it was all done. anticipating the laptop with much eagerness... My red colored Dell~!! come to me babeh~!!

I went to the book fest...
where should i start? ok.... fyi.. my post are made of words, no pictures. boring as u may say.
3 days back, i follow my parents to kl yet another time because my dad has got some personal stuff to do, and have to settle my oversea stuff as well. early in the morning we departed, went studylink straight away, apply for visa and clearify some enquiries. then we went TARC to get a letter of completion require by the UTAS. but this TARC is so useless, they only offer 2 shitty letter to students : the standard letter which proves that you are studying in TARC, pretty, i mean totally useless. the second 1, the testimonial. for fuck's sake, i told these staff that what i want is this letter of completion (LOC) and along i brought with me a letter from studylink to prove that i need this particular custom LOC in order to apply for UTAS. and them staff keep on asking me to write my name in this dunno wat book and wait for 1 week for the testimonial.... harlow? my english too poor u cant understand? then i go straight to find the head of school, hallelujah for god's grace there is this clerk was there... she saw me with a unusual latter in hand and also accompnay by parents, she tender my needs. (sound gay?zz) then everything settled. saw some good looking girls. what do u expect? its TARC college, where liang luiS are.
the next day, went klcc cuz my mom wanted so eagerly to visit the book fest. we reached at about 11 am. so not so freaking lotsa people there..yet. entrance fee rm2. i walked inside and none of the books interest me. maybe i was born not to be attracted by books or i just dont find readign suits me. sigh. pathetic. truthfully, i reall feel abit pening kepala. maybe some side effect of... the infamous tea-cup incident. all the while i was sms-ing with ky. i plan to meet him at klcc today as he said he wants to come over here for the book fest as well. but to my amaze he was at timesquare the time i was at the book fest. then when he arrived at klcc, i was already preparing to ciaw... time not ngam la ky... sorry leh... not duwan to see you, is cant... and so many peorple that day... u stay till 6 pm go lrt see, u will faint. last time also i walk to ampang to take lrt. but nevermind, i know ky u enjoy the girl scanning there. i saw some quite attractive ones... ^^
other time i was shopping for some needed stuff for oversea study. the prob for me now is i'm going alone to tasmania in 1 month time. so scared. for me being alone to a totally strange place. and i am sure i will encounter problems even in the air port already. no need to emphasize on language gap and cultural gap and some law and legal stuff across country. all things will be different. the weather, i scared i will fall sick before i settle down. i am weak u all can tell. i dunno where will i stay. i know nothing about the environment and condition there. what bus to take what transport to go where. how to buy things there, pay 1st or after when i eat there. i join terus the second year student. what if i cant catch up with the studies? what if what i learnt is not same as what they apply. what if i'm lost? what if i miss a flight? what if i lost my apssport? what if this and that.... ys scold me la... say i scared all kidna stuff ler... yes i am. i will always try to do so to make sure i get a firm grip in the things i do. i dont like to risk. its too troublesome. and i hate trouble. i will try my best to get away from it.
