Adelaide, Australia Day 1

Day 1
We packed our stuffs before we off to Adelaide, Australia.
This was my situations before pack.
I was too worried about the overweight issue.. haizzz.. should bring more!
I brought most of my long sleeves there because we will have longer period of Autumn and Winter.

Finally done packing and waiting my parents to send me and my sister to the airport.

Actually, I have "Custom phobia" I think because even though I know I did or brought nothing illegal but I will still worried about the custom checking.

Below is the basic Checking list:

1. no eggs, milk and foods ( unless you declare)

2. no drugs example weeds and so on..

3. if you take more 10,000 aussie you have to report.

 

Visit this website for more information: http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page4369.asp

 

The basic you need to bring :

1. Sunblock

2. lotion (especially dry skin)

3. passport

4. adapter

 

This is all my basic that I brought.

 

Our flight depart on 7 something so we reached the airport two hours before.

Checked-in and waited at the hall.

 



 

Bye Malaysia

My sister ~~

We got into the plane.

The plane was abit small no television even though it was Malaysia Airline.

However, it was just an hour flight so still okay for me.

 

After an hour, we reached Kuala Lumpur International Airport around 9pm.

Then we have to sit for a train to transit our terminal from Gate A to Gate C.

 

 

This is the station.

 

Doesn't it looks like UK?

The train actually come often and quite punctual in time.

This is the schedule but hehehhhe sorry it's hard to see.

I think about every 10- 20 mins has one train.

I love to walk on it.

Enjoy every moment you take.

We have a walk around the airport.

Then have our dinner at Starsbucks.

I don't really have time to chill or calm down because this was my first time having myself and my sister only in the airport.

At the end we still finished this stack of stuffs.

Around 10 something, we started to depart.

The airplane was nice and comfy.

It will also provide you a headset, pillow and blanket.

7 hours 30 mins flight!

The snack we have during the flight was this "chicken pie" the taste wasn't that nice but still okay for me.

We have our meal around 5 am in the morning with Nasi Lemak!!

The first rise.

Errrrr... it was so tired to take a midnight flight because you can sleep probably on the plane.

Luckily, there are friends in Adelaide so no worries for the picking up.

Actually, I did feel abit guilty towards Mao and Jarell because they WALK to the airport which take about 30-40 mins from the place in the early morning 8 am (which they don't usually wake up in this period) .

Hereby, I have to say thanks and sorry to you guys haha...

 

We took a taxi and reached their house. Dropped our luggage and went out to have our breakfast.

The first meal I have in Adelaide was "Dim Sum" somewhere around China Town.

*Sorry I forgot to bring my camera due to the jet lag issue hahaha so I didn't take any photos.

 

After the breakfast, I requested to take a nap zzzzzzzzz...

 

Until about 5 pm something we went out for dinner with my friends from Cpu.

Again in China Town! but this time abit further.

Along the street you can see beautiful flowers because now they are having Spring season till end of December I think.

The weather was really nice if there was no wind.

 

We walked about 25-30 mins and reached a Chinese restaurant named "良記 " in Chinese.

 

Here we go!

My first dinner in Adelaide with a butch of friends

Starts from the middle was their Pork ribs soup.

Next from the left top was their pork rib. Next to it was Toufu.

Bottom left was vegetable and the bottom right was the egg York with pumpkin.

Not bad the dishes especially when the weather is cold and you have something hot.

Camera boom " Mr. Calvin"

but then he is a nice model la..

 

= =

The street that we passed by.

 

That's all for Day 1.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Study Trip- Australia Part 1

I am so excited because I am going to Australia!
I am so excited because this is the first time I go by myself. Teehee
I am so excited because I am going to have a new starts.
I am so excited because I am going to visit my University!

This time I am going to Adelaide, South Australia.
I got the offer from University of South Australia.

 

Here we go!

Actually my mum recommend me to go Australia for further studies.

The reasons she told me was that..

1.Weather is good.

2.enough sunshine

3.Not as far as UK, USA and Canada.

 

But then how come all the buildings so retro ?

As I wrote in my previous post that I prefer twinning course and not directly abroad. However, I have no choice but just to go abroad. (for my reasons you can check out here http://stella-friday.blogspot.com/2013/10/what-i-have-been-up-to-lately-p.html )

 

Some people might ask me why not you change your Major? Maybe choose Nutrion, biomed or even foods science.

The only answer I can give is that because I have tried hard and work hard to archieve this so yeah just wanna give it a try

 

Actually, I have considered UK pharmacy programme because it is a LITTLE BIT cheaper and the programme's contents are easier.

Australia's much more expansive and harder.

 

I compared the credit hours from UK system and Australia system.

I was shock with the results.

Actually I used my friend's results ( who took UK system) and sent it to the UniSA (short form of University of South Australia).

UniSA didnt accept the credit hours becuase one year's contents not even cover one sem's content in UniSA!

 

The other thing that I was confused was that.. UniSA is not in the world's ranking and Cardiff (which my friend study in UK) is in the world's ranking Top 115-150 list.

Isn't that funny? A Uni with more contents should have higher ranking then those which have less content, right?

 

 

Anyway, I am going to Australia for a study trip on November.

Ermmm.. what things can I bring?

My clothes are still in Kuala Lumpur yet I have no clothes with me now

 

My friend putting his clothes in his friend's house so I can tumpang (make use of it) also.

But then if I choose UK at the end ?? then I have to fly to Australia again?

 

Never mind no matter how I still need two super huge luggage

Then we saw this pretty nice luggage in Jusco!

This new babe born in dark blue. 

I will introduce this first but I might use my other luggage in Kuala Lumpur.

This is made from polycarbonate.

I think it's a China brand.

I havent use this brand before so I have no comment on it.

But then from the apperance it looks pretty well with shiny surface and solid still.

Okay, so the shiny surface is just a nice look because the time you send it into the cargo. Most of the workers will throw your luggage and the pretty shiny surface will have scar on it. Teehee

However, this intimate company designed a cover for this luggage! what a wonderful details right?

 

So it stated that Polycarbonate and super light weight 100% somemore Lol.

Between, do you guys know how to choose a luggage? (honestly I am not a professional too LOL )

I think the most important are the tire, hardness, handle and zip.

The size of the luggage will depence on your situations.

If you are a businessman that need to travel often then obviously the small is better but for me, student, definately a big one that can squeeze in my whole wardrobe..kidding*

This is the interior .

I still havent decide what I will bring...erm...
