The tough part is over!! Finally the midsems, and the assignments. I remember in my first year I kept wondering what it would be like to be like those 3rd years who say every week that they have midsems, or they have research assignments due, and what made me more curious was why they all seem to always leave it to the last minute. But now I know, its not their choice. The course just kills you.
I got my iphone!!

Pirates is the new hot topic now. Apparently terrorism got too boring. I think the terrorist were inspired by the movie, Pirates of the Caribbean.
I was reading an article about this pirate who got caught, and is probably the most stupid pirate ever. He captured the captain of a cargo ship and held him hostage. The next step would be to state your demands, which he did. The States sent a Navy ship out to sea, and this pirate boarded to make his demands. No need to say what would happen when you have a handful of pirates on a navy ship loaded with hundreds of seamen.

A lot's been happening lately. Or maybe its just been the usual things, but I've made it seem like a huge pile. It's all a matter of perspective I suppose. Had a couple of friends who took their IELTS the other day, and it reminded me very much of English back in secondary school.
Speaking of IELTS, it's dawned on me that my time is coming soon. My life in Melbourne as the overseas student will soon end, and my 3 years is on its final leg. Needless to say, I don't want it to end. But life here is not made fun just because of me, but because of all my friends here, and everybody would soon go back home. It was a very sad and depressing thought. Made me really reconsider if I would still want to work here if I would be alone. But that was the plan, and so I went ahead to look for jobs, but little did I know that in my field, I need a PR before firms would take me seriously. I guess I can't blame them.
So I went about to look for details on how to get PR, and guess what? Everybody I know is applying for PR!!! Looks like life down under hasn't ended yet.

Had lunch at Footscray the other day, and decided to explore the suburb since we were there. The food guide that we were following described the place as "becoming gentrified". Now I had no idea what gentrified meant, and my initial understanding of the word, after looking at the town, was that it was not a good word. But apparently the word means to undergo improvement, or something to that extent.
I do not wish to know what Footscray was like before gentrification then. The street mall, were filled with "Mama"-like shops, and some were half closed. Not to mention the donut I ate, which I suspect was the cause of my diarrhoea for the night. Speaks much of their hygiene.

At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light,And the burden of my heart rolled away,It was there by faith I received my sight,And now I am happy all the day!

"I was looking through my 2007 diary and I realised that in my first 6 months here I was able to complete 3 assignments in one day!"
"GEEK!!!"
"No! I'm hardworking, and focused."
"How did you get those 3 assignments done?"
"............I spent one Saturday doing them."
"GEEK!!!"
