rain rain go away

it's autumn now. instead of leaves falling, you can hear burt bacharach singing in the distance: Raindrops keep fallin' on my head And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed Nothin' seems to fit Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin' So I just did me some talkin' to the sun And I said I didn't like the way he got things done Sleepin' on the job Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin' But there's one thing I know The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me Raindrops keep fallin' on my head But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red Cryin's not for me 'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin' Because I'm free Nothin's worryin' me It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me Raindrops keep fallin' on my head But that doesn't ...

still no internet

A week has gone by and we still don't have internet. I'm now at the library using their wireless. This week has been quite similar to other weeks. Classes, headaches after classes, sleepless nights, rice... I did get to hang out more with some of my classmates which was really great. At least I'm reaching out to people outside of my house. I'm sitting on a couch enjoying wireless Some picts: my honkey-australia (has been living here for most of her lifetime) housemate... great photographer! the sofas i'm sitting on right now Korean housemate, Joo, with his macbook... ME!!!! senyuman malu malu okay unrelated pictures: Thank you Stella for the Easter-Chocolate package Okay, so my laptop was broken but now it's fixed. Hp sent their technician to my house to replace my LCD screen and keyboard. I had this assumption that technicians don't get much... but look at what the cat dragged in.... the HP TECH GUY CAME WITH A SPORTSCAR!!! This is my australian housemate...

Makan Macam Babi, Kurus Macam Lidi

Makan Macam Babi, Kurus Macam Lidi Eats like a pig, thin like a stick I'm in the Auchmuty Information Centre. I got to talk to a few friends over the internet. There are so many Chinese in the library I don't know why they're here. There's this guy sitting next to me. He's listening to music. He has his earphones but I can still hear the music he's listening to. He's grooving along with the music. He's in HIS zone. I don't want to be in HIS zone. I'm trying to write this "short answer" for one of my assignments. The lecturer wants this short answer to be a page long. She didn't specify whether it should be single spaced whatsoever. After completing the previous sentence, I quickly emailed the lecturer and asked whether there was any particular format she'd like her students to follow. She's been here for a month and a half. She's new, like me. I got a book from Bangkok last Christmas. It was a gift from Swi...

I see an Apple

Kim: seems that dairy products here are mahal Sendy: I'm doing a degree in applied linguistics A half eaten apple sits on a counter bacteria working their magic it's browning I woke up this morning and it was cold. I think I mentioned in my previous post that it's Autumn here now. The nights are cold but the days are still warm, sometimes too worm, like right now. I am wearing a long-sleeved shirt to keep me warm from the low temperature a few hours back but now there's no point in wearing it anymore. I might as well go around shirtless. Nobody will care... but of course my upbringing and my culture's norms will stop me from doing so. I'm having TESOL curriculum and methodologies in an hour's time. We have our class near some of the music laboratories. We always have bands playing different genres of music from next door classrooms fill the air during class time. I've been talking to some of the locals and they told me it does get really cold in winte...

blog away

tall, short, skinny, buff, well-endowed, flat, dark, tanned, fair (the so called whites don't actually have white skin... I think this applies to the rest of us) That was the sight that greeted me when I first stepped out of the plane. There were so many people. It would have been really intimidating if there were only Caucasians, thank goodness the Asians and Middle-Easterns and Africans made their way here. Sydney Airport isn't really big. It's like the KK Terminal 2, but much older and more packed. I was the Airbus A380, and there were about four hundred of us in the plane. The seat next to me was empty. I watched two movies and the cabin crew served us both dinner and breakfast. I couldn't sleep through the plane ride because of the movies I was trying to watch and there was this old lady who needed to talk... at 1 AM in the morning. Well at the Sydney airport there were so many people (because we're not the only ones that just landed). Customs were just...
