First day in school!
21st February 2005
It's the first day of the school. While walking around in the campus this morning to soak in the atmosphere of "1st day", looking at the numerous lost looks around me, I was reminded of my own own first day 2 semesters ago. Although there was fear, there was excitement as well as the thought of a brand new advantage of living on my own in a strange country.
It's quite funny how things in life turned out sometimes not according to one's plan. Never have I thought of studying overseas, but here I am, starting my third semester already. There are plans to join some clubs and be more active in my university life here but I guess most likely "it's easier to say than be done". I'm too lazy, and there's no really strong desire to try to make new friends, especially due to different cultures, understanding of each other can be quite difficult. See how it turns out. It is, only the first day.
Perhaps I should go with my friends to explore around Perth. Whale-watching, cruise, Perth zoo, wildlife parks or even going to King's park for a picnic, that will be fun. Instead of running around in student village all the time. Plans, plans.
I have 2 new flatmates from Austria on a 6 months exchange program. A guy and a girl. So far they seemed quite nice and really the guai guai type which I'm quite surprised. Usually ang mohs gave me the impression that they are more the out-going kinds. Well, stereotyping. Bleh. Ah, and the surprise of the day is, they had rice with nuggets for dinner today!! I always thought rice is the "Asian" meal thingy. Bleh. Another case of stereo-typing. Next time we could cook rice together. Heh. By the way, where's Austria anyway?? Near Germany??
Japanese tute and Psychology lecture tomorrow. I'm looking forward to the latter. I wonder who's the lecturer and how it will turn out. Tanoshimi ne!
