11th Oct (2nd day in Brisbane)

Had a meeting with Dr. Portmann and briefed us and what we are supposed to do. We are to read up on openDHT which Syl and I have absolutely have no idea what is that. Well, he gave us a link to read up and told us that there is a book we can reference to too. Went to search to search for the book but it isn't in the main library. You see, there are 7 different libraries so we ended up lost finding that particular library called Physical and Sciences Library. =( Asked around and managed to find the library and off we went to borrow it. After which, we tried to find the bus stop to home but AGAIN, we were lost and it's already quite dark. Argh. Oh well, we asked around again and managed to find the bus stop finally...

Anyway, reached home and had dinner. Off to sleep. TIRING!


12th Oct (3rd day in Brisbane)

We didn't go UQ and off to the city instead. Contacted Carolyn (a friend introduced by my family friend) to meet us there so that she can bring us around. Me and Syl reached there first and it's pretty much feels like orchard road though. Oh well, can only window shopped cuz it's pretty expensive. Then met up with Carolyn and Cai xuan (a house mate of Carolyn) and we had korean food there. The food was nice and could see alot of asians there. Anyway, after dinner was just walking around though. They told us to shop after the christmas cuz that's when they got lotsa discounts. Hmm. Guess we will do some last minute shopping. =))

When we finally reached home which is around 10pm when we heard some ang-mohs in a car shouting like "....f***ing piece of shit!" We know that they were shouting directly at us and i thought i heard "ASIANS ....shit!" Syl was sooo angry and wanted to shout back but we head back to the house as quickly as we could cuz i was afraid they will run out of the car and chased or do something. =(( We were quite shocked and stunned though. That was supposed to be a happy night but spoilt these bunch of ang-mohs. Grrrrrrrrrr............



13th Oct (4th day in Brisbane)

Went to Red Cliffe and had FRESH seafood cuz Syl's cousin said there was a seafood festival. Well, it was near the waters and that explains the freshness of the seafood but 99% of the time we were fanning away flies. Lots of it. Argh. Think it's those summer flies. There were booths to play games but we didn't try out cuz it's pretty much similar to those in pasar malam. After eating, we went home.


14th Oct (5th day in Brisbane)



Well, we slacked at home and didn't go out for the whole day. So nth much to update. Just lazed around....




15th Oct (6th Day in Brisbane)

Headed to UQ to do some more research and read up the links that Dr. Portmann gave us. I had trouble understanding though. =( We wanted to get some novels to read but couldn't find and so we asked the librarian. Found out that they do not have much fiction books except literature which i think is a storybook to them. Oh my.. Was thinking if we can have something to read, we won't be this bored. =((

Hmm. Now it's 9:34pm, 15th October and the night falls so much quicker than in singapore. Argh. No night life here!
