Life @ UNSW

So... finally found time to start blogging again, now that I'm here, in Australia...

Not feeling to happy at the moment... Loneliness, and subjects overwhelming... Only time can tell, if things get better... Hopefully it does... I guess I should be optimistic about everything...

Things to do:
Understand Stochastic Models for Actuarial Applications...
Make more friends...
Find a new place to stay...
Work...
Join some extra classes... thinking of doing dancing (perhaps ballroom dancing) and kendo (sounds fun!)
Meet some good friends...

I have a new phone number, message/e-mail me to find out what it is...

Overview of first three weeks here... really overwhelming, as I'm straight into second year subjects... lots to catch up, and try finding friends... maybe join more societies...
The weather is very cold, for me at least, i don't care about you people who lives in colder countries telling me that this is not cold... you're not from malaysia, you're not experiencing the same transition as i am... so please, spare me that comparison...

Books here are damn expensive... have to spend about 400 AUD just for this semester's books and I'm only doing 4 subjects... At least I have a nice timetable...

Security is also an issue here... with the rise of petty crimes around Kingsford, the area I'm living in... And they seem to be targetting international students, as we heavily populate this area...

Other than that, things are nice...

Zaid was in Perth for awhile, seeing his brother off... Now he's back in US...

I met up with Lachlan and Dave, online friends of mine, plus a few of my old schoolmates, such as Wei Hon + bro, and Thiam Siang + bros... Bumped into another junior as well...

I forgot to take a photo with my meeting with Dave, but I do have a photo of me with Lachlan... We met up last saturday, and it was an awesome day.. .best day i had in Australia so far... As for Dave, I'll chase him with my camera some other time... no rush at all, since he's in the same uni as me, and is in fact, my senior there, altho i'm older... hahaha, i really took the long route to finish a degree, but from my work experience, i'm in no rush at all...

I'll be stalking you, Dave ;)
