Okay, apart from the great Rowden White Library, my life in university.....
NO SPECIFIC FRIENDS.
I haven't got any real friends yet. I made some friends in tutorials or programs because we are forced into different groups. But after those, we just say "Hi" when we see each other and keep walking our different ways. Most of them are from Trinity College, so they stick with their own group. There's one who doesn't acknowledge me since she's with her friend.
LONELY.
Walking alone on campus. When I see a group walking together, talking, laughing.... I think back on times in 一中. I always had Pony, Jiun, YuTing and FunJoo. In class, I was very friendly with 1+, SiewChin, HJ, SiewPhin, YitNee, ZhenZhen and Doreen as well. Or, I could always pop over to other classes to see my best mates YuLing, YanYing or SzeNee. I really miss them!
* No Chinese on this computer. Sien~ "一中" I use online translator translate "one" and "middle"~ haha
TIRED.
This campus ig BIIGGG! My feet hurt as I have to walk here and there for my classes.
WORRIED.
Maths Chemistry and Biology are, Thank God, quite easy beacause most were covered in Senior Three. At times like these, I'm glad to have studied at 独中. But I've forgotten a lot since I have not study for 4 months. My classmates look so grown up and smart. How can I compare to them?? Especially when I can't catch what the lecturers (some have foreign accents) said, I feel like I'm the only one in the whole class. =(
COLD.
Melbourne's weather is soooo cold ar! Even during summer, the temperature is around 19*C sometimes! Today's a rainy day so it's really cold too. And the wind! Even a stop sign got blown down ar!
HOMESICK.
I keep thinking about Mum and Eric at home. I call them when I can. Thankfully, Pony from Taiwan messages me sometimes and I talk with her on the phone too!
Can't wait to get back to Kuching....... For those studying in Malaysia (even in KL), lucky you!

Rowden White Library
Hi guys. I'm in the Rowden White Library in Melbourne University now. It's only open for members, and since I'm a member~~
Oh my god, this place is REALLY amazing. There's lots of books (not textbooks or research ones), storybooks I mean. There's free internet access - which I'm using now, and there are signs on the tables saying :"PLEASE DO NOT STUDY HERE." *lol*
There are shelves and shelves of DVDs that you can borrow. I've scanned them over and there's Kung Fu Panda, Mama Mia! even Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Dawson's Creek the whole season series!!
There's a room connected to the library. It's quite a large room, it's dimly lit. There are a lot of beanbags on the floor and some people are sleeping (really!) on them. There's also a large LCD screen here, and a movie is featured all the time. There's a timetable posted on what's playing for the week. Now, it's playing an anime called "Steamboy".
And the BEST part of this room(to me la ^-^), is that there's manga and anime here!!!! Whoo-hoo!!! The anime part, I still need to make sure, 'cause I haven't seen any VCDs or DVDs lying around yet. BUT, there are loads of comics!! Especially the Dragon Ball comics, five small stacks eh!
There's Fruits Basket, Tsubasa, Prince of Tennis, Ranma 1/2, One Piece, Bleach, xxHolic, etc. There's also Archie's comics too! This is heaven to me! The only bad part is: the manga is in English. Pff....
Being a Student Union member is quite nice. Only we can enter the Rowden White Libraryand borrow up to six items. We have a Members-only lounge in the cafeteria (there's microwave ovens and a plasma TV). And every Tuesday, we have free BBQ while listening to bands!!
It's 12.17pm now, around 1pm I'm going to grab some free BBQ! Yeah!

Still in RMIT Library
ARGH! It's 11.24 am (MY time 8.24am) now!! Where's Janet??? It was 9 something when she left me here. I've sat here for so long! Blog update finish, games played liao. Even the two swearing guys beside me have gone!
The funniest thing just happened. Okay~ Maybe it's not THAT funny, but still...
A lot of people just came into the library. They're probably new students on a tour of the school. It's Orientation Day after all. The teacher brought them along the computers. And I was like, so sia-soi!!! cause everyone around me were working on their design work or essays.
Then only one person was clicking sushi on the screen amd reading anime reviews. Guess who? Ya, that's right, it's me. Haih.... embarassing "chin" lor. I didn't know whether to keep playing or close the window ar! I'm not even a student here! I'm using Janet's account to access the computer.
Where are you, sis?? I don't dare to play games in here for the moment..... haha.....
Hmm maybe I'll go read a book. Safer...

In RMIT Library
Hi everyone!
There's no internet connection at our house, so I couldn't update my blog for the past few days. =(
It's 9.41 am in Melbourne. Right now I'm using the internet in the RMIT University library, waiting for Janet. It's her Enrolment and Orientation day.
The two guys using computers beside me now are swearing up and down. They are really "chu" lor~~ Every little thing need to f*** this f*** that. Sien....... Wanna hit them.....
I'm going to blog about the past few days. From my first day in Melbourne till today. I took lots of pics! People around me probably think I'm a weirdo, taking pics wherever I am - the supermarket, the sidewalks, the train, even in this library! Haha......
Ta-ta, miss you all!

Last Day in Kuching
Happy Valentine's Day~~
Today is my last day in Kuching. I'm leaving early tomorrow morning at 6 something in the morning. That means I have to wake up around 3 am and be at the airport at 4 am!!!! Sien......
I'm going to miss Kuching very, very much. I'm missing it already. I'll miss my mum, Eric, my best friends - Joanne, Pony, YuLing, YanXi, Jiun, Yuting, Fun Joo...... my cousins, my room, my favourite places in Kuching, my piano, my baking oven, my recipe book......
When I was still in Senior 3, I always thoguht that I would NEVER get homesick. 'Cause I'm too practical for that. I thought that I'd be thrilled to get away from this town and try a new life outside the big, exciting world.
Suprisingly (even for me) , I'm SAD to be LEAVING. I can't bear to leave Kuching and my memories here. Now I understand what YuTing felt like a few weeks ago in UCSI. She messaged to me that she was really sad there. At that time, I didn't understand, just sympathised. Now I really feel it too.
Hasta la Vista everyone! I'll miss you all! Take care......
It really is IRONIC. Now that I get to go, I really don't want to.
I really don't.

玉婷，再会了！
Remember my theme for this blog?
We get ready our wings (在一中求学、统考、etc) and take flight (念大学) to all corners of the sky (世界各地) away from our "nest"？Well ... ...

今天，玉婷“离巢”了。She's going to pursue Chemical Engineering in UCSI University.
Some of us from SS3A gathered at the airport to see her off. I think it was a good turn-out. 10 people or so. 玉婷 was very touched (I think) to see us. Hee-hee. We took a photo on her Mum's phone, and she sent it to 莹莹's phone.

这是我从会端的部落格 "fit" 来的。
因为莹莹还没有send给我。
等她send来了，我再换掉这个照片。
会端，不好意思啦，借我一下！
Watching her check-in, I wonder: When will I take flight? Soon, this "nest" will be pretty empty with us all taking off. Yvonne has already left on January 3rd or 4th (so FAST) . I'm glad I got to see 玉婷 off. I hope we'll gather in our "nest" happily after flying about in the sky someday.
玉婷，要加油哦！Good Luck in UCSI!!! 给他们瞧瞧你的厉害！^-^
NOTE: After the airport, we had breakfast together at 香满楼. For details, see other
poeple's blogs. I lazy write liao. Nothing, really. We just eat and talk ma~~
