mio scaduto palo

buona sera! its been almost one month since i last updated. and its been a month and a half since i have packed my bags to settle here. i'm into autumn now and the nights are getting colder, especially tonight.

tutorials have been not too bad. i must say that the time in tutorials are precious as i only get one session of fifty minutes per week for each subject except for accounting where there are two sessions. majority of my tutorial mates are locals. the international mates come from papua new guinea, china, hong kong, malaysia and new caledonia. it was tough in the beginning to understand their accent and because some of them their first language wasn't english so sometimes you have to put the words together and try to understand what they are saying. o yes, all my tutors are females and only one was local. two were asians and one was a brazilian who was a former lawyer. so you can see that not only there was an international mix of students but also tutors!

finally i have been concentrating in lectures. it was tough going back to lectures and to concentrate for two hours each time after two years of not attending one. it is difficult to absorb and take down important information with the lecturers speaking quite fast. imagine jotting down something the lecturer just said and also trying to listen to something which is different at the same time. but thanks to my mobile phone, i can record my lectures down and playback anytime.

i have been cooping at home the whole easter break to complete my one thousand four hundred word management assignment. it is going to be twenty percent of my final grading. first essay in two years and it is a major one. till date, i have completed it, just some editting and referencing left before i can hand it up. hope to fare reasonably well since my whole easter week was spent doing it. however, somehow i feel that it may be out of point, as usual. managed to catch step up two: the streets for only five seventy, so cheap. dance moves were awesome, especially the 'heartbeat' dance.

in two weeks' time, i got two mid-semester examinations - marketing (forty percent) and accoutning (twenty-five percent). i have not started revising for it yet since i have been struggling to complete my essay. will try to start tomorrow. its important to do well and get as much as you can from all these small percentages so that it will not be so stressful when the final examination comes.

the cold night is making me sleepy so till next time, buona notte!

yesterday was quite an eventful day for me. however it was at the expense of me having to complete three chapters of textbook reading and three tutorials today and tomorrow. so i shall make this a pretty short write-up.

woke up early morning not to prepare for lectures or tutorials but to accompany my ex secondary schoolmate, yue ying, for her horse riding test session at Wattle Creek Riding School at Kays Road. it was a thirty minutes bus ride on bus three-eight-one from the city. Wattle Creek is situated in the midst of a residential area at the foot of a mountain so imagine waking up to the neighs of the horses instead of the sound of roosters. rides cost sixty for half an hour but it will be cheaper if one is learning in groups of four. well i am still undecided if i would like to learn horse riding due to the price.

in the evening, Ranger, Izaeel and I attended the Russell Peters & Friends comedy performance at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibtion Centre after we had a vietnamese dinner at West End. It was a very hilarious performance, laughing non-stop throughout. His funny friends were Ahmed Ahmed and Jo Koy. you should youtube them and check out their jokes.
