WOW….really need to update…
OK OK…I know its been a while since I’ve last updated…(I know when I need to update when Evelyn gives me a nudge-thanks by the way…) I also know it’s been a while since 2 posts back I got a haircut and I just got another one less than a week ago.
A lot has been happening so I don’t know where to start….I’m assuming you come here coz ur bored so I’ll try to keep it short and span it over a few posts instead of one looooooonnnnnnngggggggg boring essay…
First and foremost, I stopped postponed blogging coz of exams…well, my results to those exams have already been released…I’m pleased to say I passed all of ‘em. Here are my results. I know you don’t give a crap but I wanna brag.
Data Analysis - B
Principles of Information Security - A
Managing Organizations - B
Business Communication - A
Unfortunately "A" isn’t the highest grade…theres something called a "HD" -High distinction…cant say that I’m disappointed coz I didn’t study for my exams anyway…unless you consider cramming a type of "study".
After that, I moved house. YEAP! I’m now blogging from a different location! I’ll *try* and post pics of my new room on my next post (if I can convince myself to get off my lazy bum, make my bed, take the pics, and actually transfer them to my computer.
So on to the next thing…HOLIDAYS! I went to Sydney, Melbourne, and Tasmania…Here are some pictures to stop you from clicking the "X" on the top right hand corner of ur screen…
First I went to Sydney so here are some pics I took of the Opera House, Sydney Skyline and the Sydney Bridge…

From there, I went on to Melbourne. A lot of people like Melbourne. They say its really beautiful, clean, and a good place to live. As for me, I thought it was pretty crap…so the only pic I got is this one of the stairwell inside Crown Casino.
I only took a few photos there too because I accidentally put my camera in a water fountain. I thought it was dry…*sigh*
Crown Casino
Next, I went to explore Tasmania…land of convicts…and cute animals. First picture is of Port Arthur, a prison in the early 19th Century. Second is of the famous Salamanca Market which is held every Saturday followed by a view of the Tasmanian coastline.

Finally, I came back to Toowoomba.
Oh, I upgraded my camera…not as in bought new camera but as in accesories…I got a Gorillapod, high capacity batteries, 2GB CF Type I, lens adapter, circular polarizer, and lens cover. I’ll post pics of it on my next post. If you dunno what this all means then let me introduce you to google…but if ur wondering what a polarizer is, scroll down.
This is a before and after shot of a scene at Port Arthur in Tasmania. Before is the picture without the polarizer and the After one is the one with it…wait, ur not in kindergarten anymore so you should be able to figure it out urself!
BEFORE:
AFTER:
As you can see the polarizer cuts the glare on non-metallic surfaces so you can see thru the water, glass, and stuff like that…cool eh?
Okay, this post has become longer than I had anticipated…I’ll continue another day…hopefully soon…but it depends on how many comments I get for this post.
