Decided to wake up at 7am, alarm ring was of no use of course, but birds chirping right outside certainly wakes anyone up!! Breakfast was simple western style, sunny side up eggs, scrambled eggs, bacon, sauteed mushrooms(should call it ultra SALTY mushrooms) and VitC drink i think. Had a morning chat with the few guys who could wake up. All asking each other "How's your sleep last night?" Lolx!
International Orientation Day!! Well, not to say that it's very great but it's certainly MUCH better than Monash Malaysia's. We get to choose the programs to attend, located at 6 different theatres in the Manning Clark Hall. We took this opportunity to discriminate, but committed to attend orientation for the whole duration. It was about the public buses for the first slot. A little knowledge gained, and it was finished by the 50% allocation time!! Next up was about part time jobs, hehe. Pretty different, rather than all those irrelevant stuff like history or greetings by who and who, it's about stuff relevant to us. Since most of the programs finish at the half time mark, we stole the chance to enquire for our enrolments, we want more time tml!!
Had met many new friends today. Most of them are malaysians, namely Hazel, Kambing, the Kien siblings. These peeps are on the JPA scholarships. They surprised me, especially when they were the only ones wearing suits walking in the campus!!! Then there are also Hyejun(Korean), Zhaoyu(SzeChuanian), Kim Meng(Msian) and Puyro(Jap)!! And so forgotten a few others again, especially most of the JPA scholars, too many of them everywhere. The Malaysian gang literally took over the Commonwealth Bank to set up their savings account ^ ^''
Sad thing is, during a run to get my e-visa printed, I found out my passport went missing!! Searched it everywhere, the bank, IEO and the Mannings Clark Hall, not anywhere. So I finally asked for ANU's help. The security are searching it for me now ;p
Karen helped along too, she gave me to Malaysian Embassy contact number, if things got to the worst.
Everyone i told this to was shocked! Shocked not because i had lost my passport but because i was still laughing!! Haha!! Panicking wouldn't help, life must still go on, so might as well enjoy losing it :)
Well after a few hours, losing the passport is really a tragic thing. From a functional perspective, the passport is not needed to pay up my room fees, not needed to enrol and only needed to open a savings account. So in the short term, i'm relatively could wait out the long processing time for a replacement. I think things have gone to a worse degree, so better start to call the embassy. The first thing is to pass up my room agreement, been late for two days, then enrol in, should take till lunch or at worst around 2pm. Then I would catch a bus to the embassy, if needed but I guess it's certainly needed. All these could be done by 5 I hope. Until then, I need sleep to reset myself.
Got called up by Naruto at around nine. So with just my reebok shirt and shorts, I walked over on my slippers. And the night is freaking cold!! It is just a 3 minute walk but i was already shivering once i reached his room. We made tml's plan, for me was to hand up my room agreement, do my enrolment then to the embassy. For him, the only difference was that he needs to setup his internet line. All could be done by 5 I hope. The bus services should be efficient here. Hehe. Since Naruto does not have much idea where are everything in his hall, we decided to conduct a self tour. We headed for the admin building first(I think!). Naruto doubted that he could shiver outside so i dared him to walk out. And the way he shivers is just bewildering!! He actually laugh to heat himself up!! We had grabbed a cup of milk earlier, and he was spilling them everywhere. He just couldn't help but to laugh rackously and jump!! Lolx!! Not only that, we suspected that the toilet he was using all along was a girl's toilet, reasoning was that we found a males only toilet(and the doors are pink!! Lolx!!)
I wanted to grab some snack from the Twisties machine to munch but the price is.... AUS$1.60 for a RM1.60 size packet chips. Oh my... guess I'll wait till breakfast tml at 7.45 am :)
light my way ♥
