[Sun] Watched Infernal Affairs 1 and 3. Could not get hold of 2 as the girls did not have it with them. But, was grateful for the movies.
[Mon] Watched Australian Idol on tv and walked the dean's dog, Emma. She's a golden retriever, about 4 1/2 yrs of age. She's quite a big dog and heavy to tug at when she refuses to walk away from a particular dog. Nonetheless, Jeannie, Phoebe and I enjoyed her company. At night, Phoebe and I got "blackmailed" into playing mahjong since we wanted to borrow dvds from Liufei. But, I'm not blaming her as I get to pick up a skill, playing mahjong.
Emma..Aren't she a beauty?
Jeannie & me with dear Emma
My dream dog!!
[Tue] Woke up earlier than usual to go for a pan-cake breakfast, hosted by Vanessa. This event was organised by the OCF-ers. (OCF= Overseas Christian Fellowship, get to meet fellow singaporeans and other international students). After the hearty breakfast, Phoebe and I went to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. For your info, the movies screened in Adelaide is quite slow. When we first arrived in Adelaide, they were still showing Mr & Mrs Smith. Imagine that! Anyway, the show was ok. Lots of singing especially each time when a child gets into "trouble" while inside Willy Wonka's factory. In the evening, I watched Harry Potter and the Socerer's Stone and played mahjong into the night.
[Wed] Went up to the main campus library with Phoebe, to borrow Pride & Prejudice. A rather literature film and it was 5 hours long!! Sat until my butt had pins and needles. At night, I went out with the other Singaporeans and Malaysians hallmates to catch crab. Well, we all went in hope of catching a few crabs. However, instead of changing crabs, we caught A cuttlefish. Yes, 1 cuttlefish to feed all 9of us (since I don't take seafood).
[Thur] Watched Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and X-men 2 in the morning. After that, Phoebe, Jeannie and I went up to main campus to do a psychology and we get paid A$10 for doing it. Cool.. In the evening, we watched Muriel's Wedding.
[Fri] Attended DAA (Dietetics Association of Australia) conference at Uni Adelaide. Had to wake up really early, about 6.30am to get ready for the conference. Since it is in the city, we had to take a bus down. As with conferences, it was pretty boring, listening to lectures. I was hoping the conference would be more of a discussion style. After the conference ended at about 5.30pm, Jeannie, Phoebe and I went to Rundle mall to do some shopping and had dinner at the Thailand restuarant. The food was good since we tried it when our parents were here.
[Sat] Went to Habourtown for some shopping. We heard that it the prices were much cheaper than the hopping belts like Marion or Rundle mall since it was factory outlets. True enough, the prices were cheap. The coats were selling at A$19.95. I would have bought it if there were my sizes. But, I managed to get a pink colour long-sleeved shirt at Cotton On for A$10. It was selling 2 for A$25 at Rundle Mall. Also, I bought a blue-coloured jacket for my brother. I hope u can fit into it. After the shopping, we watched Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban and Dirty Dancing.
In summary, I have watched 10 different shows in 1 week. Wow!Although I did not do any work, I was glad that I had ample time to relax and not think about school work. Ok, I got to start on my presentation. Till I blog again, take care peeps!
