Yet another town to cabramatta

to eat dim sum

which was as good as those we have in spore, 

or even better!

and this place is like a vietnamese town

all the shops and streets and people

im amazed!

Oh and the banana in the can is just one of the weird things they have that are canned

more to come!

Off to newtown today

a suburb near the main campus

known for its cheap thai food

then headed to the main campus 

to soak in the atmosphere of O-week

equaivalent to our cca fair back home

but this def held more large scale!

my green curry rice for A$6.00

yummy:)

and something i see of henkel product

went back to school for a faculty talk

so we were there for morning tea and lunch again

same food, but better sausages today!

and they didnt allow second servings,

though im quite sure they have left-overs

and yet another day of stay-at-home

i got my nap though:)

oreintation with the local students started today

it was the exact repetition of what we had

so we skipped most of the lect

except for morning tea and lunch!

since we stayed on-campus,

why not right:)

the sausages were so good!

off to ikea today

(there's only one in the whole of sydney!

and there's two in spore, 

this doesnt make sense)

it looks similar to the one we have in tampines

accompanying my friends to do furniture shopping

then to strathfield for grocery shopping

starburst thats available in the supermarket

pretty much a stay at home day today

had my afternoon nap

a luxury i havent had for years!

and i did this up too:)

my 'happy corner'

just above my bed:)

a walk down parramatta road

where there's spotlight and other factory outlets

one with lots of children clothes at very reasonable price

main reason was actually to go to spotlight

the rest were bonus finds and 

krispy kremes was there too!

didnt eat it though, cause i was longing for the j co one more

though this branch had much more variety

saw this parrot on my way back from school

two of it:)

my friend's mum rented car

so we got a chance to travel around

first to glebe market

(no pic cause i intend to go back there again), 

then to newtown, then to sydney opera house

my lunch of green curry rice for A$7.50

pics of newtown

guylian chocolate cafe in the area opera house

sydney opera house and harbour bridge

and random people dancing on the street to a basker's 'dancing queen'

basically just embracing the very aust. way of life and enjoying themselves!

the walk to auburn

the next suburb, or our 'neighbourhood'

more muslim food there with a mix of chinese mama store

no pics of auburn though

cause there's nothing special there

thats the path we walked along

its just along the rail way track

graffitti along the walls

they are so nicely done up,

its a piece of art along the streets:)

now you enter my room

its room 14 by the way

i dont like to see bare corners of the rooms, 

so that explains why the luggages are on each sides

my table, with laptop and printer on one side

and my work one the other

two shelves at the top, 

of which i only plan to use the lower one

cause the higher one might get dusty, hee

my bed, with POOH pillow and blanket

and the view out of my window:)

the walk to my hostel

 

special request!

food galore!

a super big box of froot loops, 

arnotts biscuit, milo,

packets of maggie mee, 

nougats, soup, 

and my korean barley tea:)

cant be clearly seen,

but go figure out!

food has been depleting at quite a fast rate

biscuits are available in such wide variety

im spoilt for choice!

they have the different bands and home brands

for most of the products

but the home brand tastes almost the same

and whats best is its much cheaper!

another thing i like is that 

price tags includes the price of product per weight

so it becomes easier 

to compare the same products of diff brands

made friends with the bus driver today

cause there wasnt anyone in the bus at all

and coincidently i didnt have enough coins

so he let me up on the trip with whatever remaining coins i had:)

lucky me!

i'll post more pics of the city another time

this is more post worthy

university of sydney!

this is the pic of the main campus,

but unfortunately, 

im studying at the cumberland campus, 

no beautiful architecture:(

looking at the buildings itself 

is definitely an added motivation to go to school!
