Captain’s Log: Day 1.
My Room View:
0600hrs: Wakie wakie…forced myself up early in da morning…see. I made my bed!
0640hrs: Finish getting dressed and ready for breakfast!
0700hrs: Breakfast at Concanno College Dining Hall. I was the first to arrive!!! woohoo!
0740hrs: Go back to room, relax and lepak on computer trying to get online.
0900hrs: Give up trying to get online. Decide to go out jalan-jalan and met Denni on the way out.
0930hrs: Go into the Japanese Garden with some of my new friends after talking crap for half an
hour…
impressed with the Japanese garden and the ducks which aren’t
afraid of people.
1000hrs: New Hope Church starts and we happen to be at the right place at the right time so we go in and join worship.
1030hrs: BBQ in the outback! Didn’t manage to stay for the whole church
service because of orientation plans which involved taking a coach full
of international students somewhere in the outback near Perseverence
Lake. Also took a bushwalk where we saw kangaroos!!! No koala’s
though…*sigh*
Forgot to take picture of the Kangaroo but got a pic of a bird…
1350hrs: Head back to USQ
1500hrs: Go house visiting and look for prospective places to rent
because my current accomodation is only for the orientation period.
1800hrs: Meet up with Denni for going to a West Presbyterian (however you spell it) church.
1830hrs: Go scouting for church. Brought by Byron but the church he
attends started too early and we missed it so we look for any services
that start at 7pm.
1910: Give up looking for churchs…saw plenty on the way, at least 6
but all either started way earlier or doesn;t have eveing service.
1930: Go dinner instead at a chinese restaurant. Pig out and the bill
was 82 Aussie Dollars!!! Divided by 5 people was AUD16.60 per person.
*gulp*
2130hrs: Arrive back at Uni…proceeds to online after being given directions from Denni.
2300hrs: Fed up with trying to log into skype through the university’s
network. Can get thru to MSN but Skype seems to have problem.
2355hrs: Current time and done with online-ing. Going to sleep now because have to get up at 6 something again tomorrow…*sigh*
**reasons for trying so hard to log into skype was because wanted to
call my dad and tell him that everything’s gone alright and tell Linzhi
that I accidentally took the Touch & Go card with me to
Australia…hehe…I figured this will be the best way to tell you. If
you don’t read this than tough luck.
