and a hundred thousand more to go, yeah, life is good isn't it. Monday - exam, then starting tuesday, lunch service in restaurant for 2 weeks followed by dinner service for another week = no easter break whatsoever. And believe me, working in a restaurant is not easy. I need a break from army camp. to where the pink pigs fly and everyone is happy.
Saya akan cuba "blog" dalam bahasa melayu kerana selepas datang ke Australia sejak hampir tiga bulan dahulu, saya mula rasa bahawa tahap bahasa melayu saya sudah merosot. Kamu semua mungkin tahu atau mungkin tak tahu, World Police and Fireman Games (WPFG) sedang diadakan di Adelaide sekarang (sebenarnya, hari ini hari terakhir WPFG). Harga tiket untuk menyaksikan WPFG amat mahal, jadi saya tidak mungkin ada peluang menyaksikan pertandingan antara ahli bomba dan polis yang macho dan kacak (kecuali yang dari MS =P) dari seluruh dunia ini. Saya cuma pernah bertemu dengan wakil-wakil ahli bomba dan polis dari Sepanyol, Moscow, Jerman, Jepun, dan ada lagi yang saya tidak tahu dari mana, atas bas setiap pagi bila saya pergi ke universiti, dan juga di pusat bandar pada hujung minggu. Akan tetapi, oleh sebab Tuhan amat menyayangi saya, hari ini, perlumbaan basikal mereka diadakan di sekeliling "rumah" saya. Jadi, saya berpeluang menyaksikan perlumbaan basikal mereka dan juga mengambil beberapa video mereka menunggang basikal. Tapi, video-video tersebut amat kecil dan kabur kerana kamera telefon bimbit saya tidak begitu canggih. haih.
Translation: I'm going to try blogging in Malay because after coming to Aus since 3 months ago, I'm starting to realise that my Malay standard is deteriorating. As you all may or may not know, the World Police and Fireman Games (WPFG) are being held here in Adelaide right now (it's actually the last day for the WPFG today). The tickets to go in and watch the games are expensive, so obviously I didn't have a chance of witnessing any of the games between these macho, hunky (except those from MS =P) policemen and firemen from all over the world. I've only ever met the policemen and firemen representatives from Spain, Moscow, Germany, Japan, and some others from I-have-no-idea-where on my way to Uni on the bus, and in the city on weekends. However, because God loves me a lot, the track for the WPFG bicycle race today is all around my neighbourhood. Therefore, I had a chance to witness the bicycle race and I also took some videos of the whole group of macho firemen and policemen riding bicycles. The videos are, however, pretty small and blurry because my phone camera is crappy. haih. I give up with the Malay. Blame the broken Malay AND English translations on me listening to chinese songs while typing in Malay and translating that to English (it's always something else's fault =P). I really should get some studying done for my multiple exams next week. *sighs*. At least I got to see hunky P and F racing today. =D. yeah, there's really so little to do here that I'm starting to look at hunks from overseas. Oh my. God help me! I feel the need to update (even if it's just nonsensical rubbish) whenever I have to be doing something else (eg. study). =Dis when I have 5 exams in a week (next week) and a big assignment due the week after that, and another exam the week after that, plus service in the restaurant for lunch and dinner (part of our assessment) during those 3 exam/assignment weeks. Who on earth comes up with timetables like this?!?! gah! This is hate... pure hate.
Overview of exams for next week: Exam no.1 = memorising half a million cocktail recipes and garnishes, and making whatever cocktail we're asked to make in the exam (did I mention we have a time limit to this? ho ho ho), exam no.2 = accounting... the name speaks for itself, exam no.3 = carrying 4 freaking heavy dishes n remembering the whole waitressing procedure like how we would serve an extremely high class demanding customer (not to mention my lecturer is a racist *sighs*), exam no.4 = a mock job interview (okay so this one doesn't really matter and I couldn't care less about this subject either but it's still an exam), exam no.5 = memorising half a million pages full of worthless information, Assignment = visiting and interviewing restaurant managers and writing a report (sounds fun? so not! Eating up my precious time doing the interviews when, at the end of the day, I have to analyse every other thing anyway), Exam no. 6 = memorising another half a million pages of worthless information. Whoever came up with the idea of theory exams should be shot.Because they rock my world, that's why. Inspiration for this post: a big huge dosage of Heroes and Smallville (specifically the Justice episode) as a *ahem* self-reward for having finally completed my assignment. *grin* I wish I had superpowers too, like the Xmen and Justice League. *drool* 'Cause superpowers are so cool. AND I can meet hot superheroes like Oliver Queen and Clark Kent (or more specifically Justin Hartley and Tom Welling, heeheehee, not that I like them as actors, I just find the whole Superhero + hunky good looks package so cool) Too bad ep. 11 is probably the last we'll see of Green Arrow in Smallville, damn. Point of this post? I love Superheroes.
An update! omg! This is due to prolonged guilt of leaving my blog dead... and also subconscious procrastination from my 3000 word assignment due in 3 days time which I haven't yet started. ho ho ho. My brain does this a lot. When I have due dates coming up, I sort of go against logic and start doing everything but what I'm supposed to do... which at this point in time, is my assignment. BUT, that's beside the point. The point is, I'm updating! Like omg, like that's so fascinating, like, I'm just really bored right now (and I'm avoiding my assignment =D).
Life in Adelaide so far: Oh wait, what life? Spending 42.5 hours a week (on average) looking at my lecturers/classmates/scenery outside whichever classroom window is anything but a life. By the time I get home each day, I'm so burned out I just wanna crawl under the covers and sleep. But oh, I can't just come home and sleep straightaway every day. I've got chores and important matters to attend to; such as catching up on my anime's and series (like YES I HAVE MY CONNECTION FINALLY!), watching tv, racing cars (my secret night life in Adelaide, that's why I'm not online so much at night anymore.. no, in case you were dumb enough to think so, not really, I am now a temporary owner of an xbox.. and an NFS game =D)... not to mention of course the homeworks I have to complete, 'cause I'm just such a hardworking person (I absolutely do not leave my homeworks till the last minute, and completing them on the bus to uni is absolutely out of the question *grins*) Apart from all that positivity, I do like Adelaide as a place. The weather's not that extreme (yet), the people are friendly, the place I stay is so unfairly convenient, I can walk anywhere I want in anything I want and people won't stare at me funny, etc. etc. OH oh OH OH! I have to have to tell you all this. My favourite class is beverage service class, in other words, bar class, where we get to taste alcohol free and make yummylicious cocktails and drink them. ho ho ho. The irony of it is, I don't even like alcohol to begin with. BUT... I love that class, and I love cocktails, the ones I make anyway, HAH! ANYway, my assignment is sitting there making me feel guilty, so maybe I'll get started on it... after I'm done with tonight's dose of anime and Heroes. =) I promise pictures will come soon. But then again, maybe not. I haven't taken much pics since I came here, 'cause I'm not as "zhilian" (narcissistic... wait, is that even the right spelling? I'm so un-narcissistic I even forgot how to spell it =P) as some people (*ahem* *cough* sim *ahem* *cough* hiao miao *ahem*). Good day, see you, bye bye, tata, so long, farewell.................................... assignments should be banned...
