Backdated entries part 2!

July 7, 2009:
Mummy prepared breakfast and packed lunch for us!


Insectosarus eyeing our sandwiches!


Breakfast: Egg, sausage with toast. The sausage tasted pretty yucky, there's this mutton smell. *wrinkles nose* Speaking of smell, the corridor outside our apartment smells the same way too throughout our stay there! Probably there's a muslim family living on the same level and cooking similar dishes *shrugs*

Hmm, then we went to school to use the internet. HAHA! yeah... those were the painful days. Met Regina and Joson in the library. Actually, I met them at the airport the morning we touched down, but we didn't talk till we gotta get down the bus and Regina took my number when she knew I was studying at QUT too.

Then we hung out, went to the bank with them to set up their accounts. We also bumped into my cousin Jean and her mum at the bank! Then the group just got bigger. We popped by Big W because some were buying electrical heaters. After that we decided to see Joson's place at Kelvin Grove Urban Living and we headed to the bus-stop.

It was quite a wait at the bus-stop for the shuttle service to take us to the Kelvin Grove campus, so I started taking pictures.


This is Regina and Joson :)


Sis and mum




My sister and I


My cousin Jean and her mum


Waiting for the bus to come...

Kelvin Grove Campus Living was one of the places that I considered before heading over. Joson brought us in and it's... quite cool. There's a shared common living area with TV, toilet (shared), a small kitchen area for students to prepare their meals, stock their stuff in the fridge and of cuz their own personal bedroom. Joson got his aunt to ship over stuff like his bolster, cans of luncheon meat and other stuff haha!

After that, we walked past the apartmen that we are looking to rent before we had a break at a cafe. Next, we popped by Regina's place at Unilodge located in the city. It's just one or two streets away from the Gardens Point campus. Regina's room seemed to be slightly bigger than Joson's and she has her own bathroom. The shared cooking area is on level 4, and guess what? We bumped into Jeremy and his dad there too! *We met briefly at the IDP pre-departure briefing* What a small, small world :)

It was getting kinda late, so my cousin Jean and her mum came over to Abbey Apartments on Roma Street to take a look and have a chit-chat. :) Then they had to go, and we had a short rest before meeting Tim for dinner.

We talked over dinner at this Korean restaurant on Mary Street. :) The serving was big man! It was from then on, my mum, sis and I decided to share food in order to prevent wastage.
