Okay, So I'm in the new house already, things hv been a bit busy for the past few days, especially with Market Day, and the moving in, but finally things are getting settled. I've finally gotten my net back and I can post stuff again. XDOne of these days I'm going to take pictures of the new house and post them up here so you guys back home can see it. Its a pretty nifty place. Although it does

So, I'm back in Brisbane, after a long day. I'm kinda feeling pretty tired.Arrived in the Gold Coast at 730am-ish and by the time i got through customs and into Brisbane, it was already almost 11am. Gin met me at Roma Street. Thank God for him, I was like dead on my feet, not having slept well on the plane.The new house doesn't have electricity yet, so I went to VUE apartments with Gin. He needed

Been a LONG LOOOOOONG Time since I updated my blog. I sorta thought there was no need since I went home and wasn't in Brisbane for almost 3 months. XDAnyways, I went home in November. I'm writing this now in the LCCT terminal in KL while waiting for my flight to Coolongatta. Found a place to plug in my laptop and have free wifi for about 2 hours. XD just enough to wait for my flight. (Coffee Bean

Hehe. Been awhile again. Started on my 2nd assignment this semester. A whopping 40% of my marks hinge on it. So I don't have much time again. However, I've a bunch of photos to share.First up is Brisbane Festival Riverfire. Its a fireworks festival that's held in Brisbane every year. There was an airshow, featuring red prop planes in the late afternoon. Here's a shot.The planes made a few passes

Whooo!!! Been a while huh. about 2-3weeks since my last blog post. Been rather busy and stuff. What with midsemester exams and assignments to complete.What've I been doing? Regular stuff. Doing homework, going to lectures/tutorials, lifegroup and church. XDThe highlights of my life has been church actually. The times with God and the times I spend with my friends in church. On the 29th of August,

Normal things happen during normal week.Andrew's log, actual date (10th to 17th August)Ookay... too much Star Trek. XDOn Saturday we took a trip to Mt. Cootha, that's a hill close to Kelvin Grove, 'we' here being me and members of Daniel 3 Lifegroup. It was really pretty and sunny that day, hardly a cloud in the sky.Here's a few shots:Bus stop in the city with Daniel 3 on the way to Mt. CoothaAnd

Week 4 (2nd August, to 9th August)So... Another week, another blog post. Yay! Routine week, with routine stuff to do. This week was real heavy on the Math so I'm busy plugging away at math problems while doing this. This is a Meatball and Potato dish I made sometime last week that's called Frikadellen.On Sunday(2nd August) there was this multicultural fiesta thing after church service that most

3rd week...(26th July to 1st August)So...... another week has passed. I went to Hope Brisbane on the 26th. There was this visiting Pastor from Adelaide who was speaking that day. I forget his name... But he was a real funny guy. Suitable for youths I guess.He gave his testimony on how he was a nihilist, always depressed and couldn't find meaning in life, and so forth. And he shared on how a

Day 16(23rd July, Thursday)No tutorials until week 2. Thankfully. I do my usual morning stuff and get to college at 11.30am for my second Maths lecture. Regular stuff, slightly more difficult than the day before, but nothing too difficult.I go to Kelvin Grove and meet the CCM guys... Here's a few pictures...After that I go home to wait for class... and at the appointed time, (I seem to be keeping

Day 13(20th July)Mornings as usual. XDLazy to write about the daily routine.About 10am-ish I go to Uni to get my textbooks. I get one of them at the secondhand bookshop, for the other 3 I had to buy new textbooks, which set me back about 200 odd AUD. Quite a bundle, just for 3 books. But... I suppose at the end of the semester I can sell them off and get back about 50-75% of the money(hopefully?)

Day 11(18th July)Nothing much today. I wake up at around 10am. Wash up and shower... Hrmm... seems to be a routine with me. XDI get some breakfast and go for a walk around the area. Lookie here... Soon as I step out of the hostel area, I run smack into a... pasar malam????Only......... one problem. It's not Malaysia, and... It's not "malam" XDI'll attach a picture now and add more in a seperate

Day 10(17th July)So.... Day 10, I wake up in the morning at around 10am and have my breakfast. A light one though, because Uncle Jimmy is coming round to take me for a little lunch.To kill time until then, I decide to catch up on some of the TV programs I missed while I was in Malaysia, namely Stargate SG-1.In short order, Uncle Jimmy calls and tells me that "they" are downstairs. I wonder who

Day 9 (16th July)I woke up at 8am this morning... Wish I could have slept longer, but my flatmate's doom doom music woke me up... I went to have a talk to him, a talk which ended in him stating his right to: "Have his music as loud as he wants as early as he wants." (More or less his words)I'm so pissed off at him. I'm going to have a talk with Tim later, see what he thinks.So, I wake up and have

Day 7 (14th July)Today woke up on time thank God. Actually woke up slightly earlier.... at 4am... =.=Thanks to one of my roommates playing his music at that time. The walls are pretty thin, and since his music is the doom doom doom music, it goes right through the walls...Heck, even if someone talks loudly I can hear them through the wall. So I wake up and tell him to at least use headphones in

Day 6 (13th July)Woke up late this morning, about 7:55 instead of 7:00... Rushed off to the bus. XDThank God I caught it in time. I didn't hear my alarm at all......So... Met Taka on the bus, he was also going for orientation and stuffs. Arrived there at a8:30am and took the campus tour. Didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know. XDOh well.So went for the Understanding Cultural

Day 5 - (12th July)I wake up in the morning and its about 10am... XD Slept in again. One of the perks of not having family to wake you up.So I do my regular stuff... Wash up, have a bath and go make breakfast. Egg and Toast with Ham. Ooookay, Toast is an overestimate. It's really just a bun, pressed in a sandwich presser and buttered. Would you like if I take a photo next time? (Leave comments on

Day 4 (11th July)Ah... As I wake up I realise something... Its warmer today. Maybe its just today, but I can finally go out without wearing a coat. XDSo, after a breakfast of egg and bread with ham(results of grocery shopping yesterday), I go out and try and check with MECU(the bank) to get something called a SWIFT code... But, as I arrive there, there's nobody in. Bank doesn't open on weekends,

Day 3 (1oth July 2009) - From here on I'll be omitting the year, as it is redundant data. XDWoke up in the morning, Osama's(YES it IS his real name) blasting his music out going, "DOOM! DOOM! DOOM! DOOM! DOOM!"Well, it was only for a little while, he went out shortly after, and I was getting up anyways. Free wake up call. XDSo I got a shower and stuff. Still cold. But at least I have a nice

I sleep there.My wardrobe. I hang my clothes there.My Desk. I work and surf and blog from there. XDMaybe tomorrow or later I'll take a few pictures and show you around my apartment.

Day 2 (9th July 2009)Woke up... Still feeling a little tired and stuff, wish I could've slept a little more. I guess I wasn't really recovered from flight and new environment. =.=Oh, and I was really cold too. Slipped my mind. I mean... how could a cold that seeps upwards from your toes and sets its teeth into your bones slip my mind. I must be really really tired...So... Man is cold. No heater

So I've decided to blog about it, share my feelings, thoughts and all.Alrighty, I'll start with the airport. Okay.... After the airport farewell with family and friends(will upload photos as soon as somebody sends them to me.), went through customs and on to the plane. So, twas
