My second semester in Australia passed really quickly. I am already at my last week of school. This semester is really different from last semester. I do things differently, I feel differently about my surroundings, school work, my cooking etc. My hall life is different too. As in now I am like the ‘old bird’ on my floor. I know everyone, and I am more comfortable with my floor. I have to say I don’t miss home that much as compared to last semester. My eventful hall life, dramatic floor mates, lots of emotions, jealousy, suspicion, mysteries spiced up my floor life. Sometimes I really think my neighbours are characters from bollywood drama. I guess I have accumulated enough stories to tell my Singaporean friends during my 3 month holiday when I am back. Oh when I look at some of the facebook’s photos, I will suddenly miss people that I have not met for a long time.

I feel I didn’t tell people about a lot of stuff. I didn’t mentioned that I went to gold coast during my holiday. (Sorry nadya we didn’t get to go together cause our holiday clashes!! I went in the end! ) I didn’t mentioned I represented my hall for the interhall table-tennis competition and got thrashed! I didn’t mentioned that spring has arrived and the trees in my school started dispersing this while furry seed and the air is filled with it. I accidentally inhaled one into my nose and I had to dig it out. Anyway it looked like Canberra is snowing here. Oh and I have decided to put braces this coming holiday.

I have so much to tell. I am lazy to blog about my stuff. I guess I still prefer talking and telling stuff. So I will say more when I am back.

my friend benny placed this on fb. check it out..

hm i must say that the guy is quite lucky.

in the sense he didn't encouter somebody who is really urgent. i mean big business, like pressing lausai. if i were very urgent in my big business, i am just going to splash it across his face in the toilet bowl. i don't care when i am so desperate for toilet and i finally found a toilet in the middle of nowhere and u want hide there. who ask u wanna hide in toilet bowl?? inconsiderate la.

I had my last mid sem exam yesterday! So yesterday was a laze around day for me. I basically laze on my bed for the whole day. Watch tv, play guitar etc etc. Quite a nice feeling for a while, but I got so bored after a while. I should plan to do something but I was too lazy and my neighbours had an exam at 7pm. Most importantly, I STILL don’t know what I can do here. Went out to get dinner on Sunday and I realise 80percent of the restaurants in town are closed. It was so sian and I decided I should just anyhow eat so I went to subway. And it was also closed! Ok I got a feeling that people here don’t eat out. Like in ANU during lunch, the canteen will be quite empty. I can’t help but compare it to the arts canteen in NUS. If you go down during prime time, you have to loiter around to pressure people to eat faster, so that you can get a seat. It will be really difficult to get a seat enough for a big group. Down here you can even get sofas seat. And there will be enough seats to fit the whole og.
Ok I always digress away from what I wanted to blog initially! I wanted to say that my friends came over my room to hang out after their exam. Cause I have a cool tv J so we sat down and watch Emmy’s together. Woah red carpet event so people wore nice suits and gowns etc etc. When I watch tv, I will switch around the channels during commercials. So as I was switching, I got so confused by this other channel showing something similar to emmy’s. After a while, I realised that THEY HAVE A STAR AWARD FOR RUGBY PLAYERS!! IT’S a red carpet event too. With their wives in gowns etc etc. I was shocked. They really brought a craze for a sport to another level. So I was watching the news just now and they were talking about the guy who won best player or sth yesterday. It reminds me of channel 8 news which also talked about Li nan xing when he won best male lead award in Hong Xing Da Jiang.

Whew my exams are finally over.. finally have the 'feel' to blog.

hm i have been playing guitar in my hall for this sem. it's really nice to play songs when u feel emo and need to sing it out. i guess my floor is kind of affected by my singing. not that i sing badly.. it's that people started playing guitar and there's this guitar craze going on!! My friend bought a guitar after playing my guitaer a few times. :) her guitar comes with an amplifier!! guess i can finally realise my dream of forming a band in uni. and yes! i wanna be the lead singer.

and there are many websites with chords. so i am basically holding a guitar ktv in my room. BUT, all my friends listne to different music. My chinese friend had never heard of popular songs such as Ji DE, or jian jian tan tan et. Then some who listen to english songs have never heard of 'So young' by the corrs etc etc. wa lau right!

k i am in the mood of singing again. bye!

Woo i am such a healthy person. I run to Mt ainslie twice a week. I hope that one day, i can eventually see kangaroos. My friends claim that there are a lot of kangaroos there. Here's a peek at my weekly run routine.

In front of my hall. Start of my run.

My friend is already lagging behind already.

On the way, i saw this. I am just going to assume that this is sakura. YAY there's sakura in australia!! :)

View of mt ainslie from afar.

Random nice house along the way.

Foot of mt ainslie. Entrance.

In mt ainslie!! my friend was struggling. He looks so tired and i though he was about to collapse anytime. hahahahhaha. I hope he doesnt read this.



Whew kind of effortless for me.

Exit of mt ainslie. My friend desperately trying to get out, escaping from the reality that i am a better runner. hahahah.

Ainslie shops :)

Back to hall :)

I took all the pictures while i was running. Good camera!! thank you my friends!!!

Anita!!!! What happened?? I hope you are ok. :)

Don't think that NUS is that bad.

haha i miss going back to NUS. Hai you know in ANU, i am not known as Aloysius. The name in the system is LIM CHOON YONG. NO ALOYSIUS although i have been known as aloysius since don't know when. I was quite frustrated by it as tutors started calling choon yong in class and i was still wondering who the hell is that, until i start to register that he is calling me. My matriculation card states CHOON YONG LIM. what the hell right. haha. then my friends start to question the authenticity of my name. They were like 'who gave you the name'?? haha cause they were thinking that how did i come up with such a difficult name. Remember i told you all down here, ALOYSIUS is not common. And i went down to the admin office to change the name in the system. they changed it and re-printed my matric card. Apparently, my name is too long. So 'aloysius' is still left out.

And when i was sending email today, i realised ...

Ok now i am called choon lim in all my emails. So when i send emails to people, they will see choon lim as the sender. I am absolutely sure that people can recognise that's me la!!

i enjoy uni life.

For people who are still in school, let's enjoy being young and free. Enjoy being able to sleep in on days when we don't have lessons, Or when we decide to keep class. Enjoy having a long break, stay in library chill. Enjoy our long lunch breaks. enjoy going home early. play badminton in afternoon etc etc.

i just watched the STRANGEST show ever. It is called "embarrassing illness". A UK show. The show is gross, intriguing, yet educational. Initially, the show was showing swollen pictures of scrotum. Then pus and stuff. Grosser than science canteen toilet.

The last straw was when they showed this plump women who came in with a problem. She started taking off her pants and underwear. They showed EVERYTHING! I went over to ask my neighbour over to see!! Then, the doctor ply open her buttcheek to show her problematic assshole. She thinks she has piles but the doctor mentioned something else. I didn't catch what was that. It was bumpy, and like the villi in our intestines. I think she's such a poor thing! Her whole problem was bad enough and now, they are showing the whole world her problematic asshole. I really hope she got better. When i think about the scene, i feel very itchy.

The whole programme is just so jaw breaking, GROSS, yet really really educational. It teaches you about hygience, symptoms of potential illnesses, STD, good gym habits etc etc. I recommend that you watch it when you feel sleepy while studying. An excellent reality/documentary show. Done in a grossly effective way.

I caNT find on youtube the asshole thing. This one shows a guy with 3 nipples.
