Exams!

Well exams is coming real soon, gotta pumped up my brain and pay my real effort and show everyone that I'm not a douche that dumb and useless in my life! I might seem to ignore everything in my life but I'm actually still watching it and noticing people around me all the time =)

My way of life over here.

I'll be talking to myself lately. Keep on asking myself, 'Am I belong to this place?' Sighs, things are not moving quite well lately, throughout the boring weekends, I tried to do my homework and assignments. Why would I freeze there and stare at my work for hours? I got no idea what to type anymore, my brain just can't fill with those magnificent ideas to express in the class anymore. My brain just keep on thinking of the question. Why? Why?? Probably I'm talking to myself again here.

By the way, dear readers, just ignore this post, cause I really wanna express it out so that I can really bring myself back, to continue study as an engineer.

Turning Private

Reasons? No idea, just to avoid things and seriously not in mood after so many stuff happened, what I can say is bad days.

Current things xP

Well that’s it I guess, Hmm for pictures?? I’ll upload ‘em to my facebook, because uploading in blog is quite slow and I only have limited time to get into the internet (as my housemate don’t have a router yet and we are dividing time to use the internet). I guess I won’t be blogging soon, because I looked the unit outline for this trimester, and I saw a lot of assignments are coming! Just before I end everything here, I can’t get my ass back by this year, because I gotta finish 5 trimester in 2 years time, each year only can have 3 trimesters. I’ll be taking 3 trimesters this year, and 2 trimesters next year. My ‘long’ break starts on October ’10 till February ’11. This is just a planned for everything went well. I’m quite down actually, after knowing this (and I don’t feel like telling it out). Unless there is a very special case if everything went ‘too well’, which if I got a High Distinction in average from my Diploma Part 1, then I can skip Diploma Part 2 and get enrolled into university by February ’10, which means by this year October till next year’s February I can have my ‘long’ break! I’ll see what will happen, and of course I wanna return to Malaysia by this year (due to some reason) no matter what! So, I hope that I can ‘mugging’ (a Singlish word introduced by the Singaporeans which means studying till like a nerd)
Hmm, just now, I went to change my telco service from Optus, to ‘3’. Well, obviously ‘3’ is far better then Optus (from my point of view) cause they gave me 2 sim cards, each functioned properly but the new one are mainly to get on9. Yes, I’m still using my ealier phone number which some of you might know. Besides sim card, I got a new phone! Weee.. Lol, have to carry 2 phones around d, must ask that 2 soldier(ken and malcolm) to walk with me d lol.

Studies =.=

About my studies?? What the hell, no one can imagine this. My first lesson for my Learning Studies class is to fold a paper plane! My computing for engineering’s outline for this trimester is playing with Microsoft Office. My mathematics for engineering is studying about factorisation of polynomials. My chemistry, still talking about periodic table, not even touches about naming of chemicals. Physics’ lecturer is a bulls**t, talks damn strict and he’s talking using a French accent, which damn freaking hard to understand him (opps, a bit over reacting, hope nobody complains!). Looks like I gotta work extra hard for these stuff again. =/

New Friends =)

I made some friend throughout the orientation, some of are funny, some are cool, and some are very ‘open’ too. The most frequent question since day one of the orientation, ‘Do you have a girlfriend?’ and the most frequent advice is ‘Having a relationship here is fun.’ I was like, SWT!! Lol, especially a 20 year old girl from Korea, and now a citizenship of Australia, Brianna and she keep on ask the above 2 question, all the time. She’s quite funny and friendly, she even asked me ‘Which girl do you think is hot? I’ll approach them and introduce you along.’ Lol! Besides her, I met a lot of Singaporean friend; they are much older than me because they gotta do National Service for 2 years after their junior college. Among them are Ken (yea can’t believe got someone’s preferred name same as I do), Malcolm, Imp, and some few more, I didn’t see them since orientation cause they are studying in another campus at Caulfield. That Ken and Malcolm are friends since their high school and this 2 buggers, lol keep on say that I’m a player (I really looked like a player meh *curious*) Also, I met some Malaysian friend along, but I didn’t talked to them much, except for one kiddie girl, Caryn, (lol don’t hit me after u read this), that I met her during trip to the city. And she’s from Penang! And so coincidence she’s once a classmate with Jay Wyn while they were in high school. She’s really funny, and also easy to bully xP (lol joking) but she’s nice and good, too bad she’s not studying the same course as me, if not I can bully her more lol. In my class, there are only seven of us and none of us are domestic student. By the way, I’m the only god damned failure that gotta hit restart button in my life studying all these again (shit boonkent you are god damned loser!).

Mistakes =x

There were a lot mistakes I made since I came to Australia. Lol, the very first is about my public transport card. I bought a full day card to zone1+2 which costed me 10bucks and took the train. Later when I get into the bus, I thought that I need to buy another ticket, which costs another 4bucks. Lol, later only I knew that that 10bucks card, actually can be used in the bus also. Wasted!! Besides that, a very terribly big mistake I made is my accommodation now. This places sucks man! Its dirty (ants are crawling everywhere except my room *luckily*), the kitchen is always not clean (I can’t cook!), and this housemate never let me to use the dryer by giving the reason that it uses a lot electricity (however I did regret after I used the dryer, 2 of my clothes are damaged, just the colour faded and some patterns on it, peeled off). But I guess I still can bare this condition and wait till my tenant’s bond is over, then I’ll grab my cash, and run to another place to live.

My Journey xD

Hey guys, well, this is the very first blog I post since I got to Australia. Yeah, I arrived safe and sound. Nothing much happened to me, just bit busy and tough for me to go through all this all alone.

Firstly, when I reached Melbourne, it was already 10, at local time. At 10 in the night, everything is closed, and there’s a curfew for me to get into an accommodation quickly. Funny thing comes when the very first person called my name. He’s the guy who should be picking me up from airport to my hotel. That guy keep on say, ’Are you burnt??’ to me, and of cause I answered, ’Hell no!’ Lol then I started to tell that I’m Kent, and then he was laughing like hell, that he’s actually calling my middle name, Boon. Lame! Since then I insist everyone call me Kent, and I will never tell anyone my middle name, except for those who can actually pronounce it correctly.

After struggling, walking cluelessly around the airport, I’ve arrived to the hotel, which located at South Yarra, around 10mins drive from city. It’s a small hotel, will only provide rooms with bed, that’s it and its god damn expensive (almost 100bucks per night!). Toilet and bathroom are shared lazy me when comes to an emergency =.= . However, people over there are friendly, I mean real friendly! When I passed by anyone, anyone, no matter what age or gender or whatever, they’ll greet you, and even when I’m having breakfast at a dining hall, the people nearby approached me and have a chat with me.

Meanwhile I’m staying in that hotel. I have to take trains and bus all the way to Clayton and get into the campus. Total journey took me around 40mins to get there(just to let you understand how far it is) and within 3days, I gotta find a permanent accommodation, establish a bank account, get a Telco service, get enrolled, get OSHC card, get tax file number, order ladtop and etc. *sighs* all these by myself. Man, I never took such hard decisions in my life at all. Well, well, I guess everything is over, and things gotta be settled soon. Every time I went to university, I visited the same counter at the Student Service Centre, and I can see them knocking their forehead every time I fire them a question. (because I should be able to understand everything before I actually came to Australia. My gosh, how can I know the ways to rent a place just by myself, how can I understand the way through the campus, and how can get to the rental places with only the address, all without phone number and internet connection!)
