The third day in Perth..

Ok.. I should start blogging about my life in Perth as a poor student studying in Murdoch University.

Life in Perth always starts early and ends early too. Haha. You don't see humans out there at around 6.30pm onwards (that is unless they are brave humans)..

So.. This morning, I went with friends to find our Program Chair, P. Bob, to sort out a few things. Got clearance for our Elective, Biostatistics. He also mentioned that Biochem II and Genetics are pretty difficult subjects (and so much for studying biochem and mole gen and mole bio in TP.. Zzz). After that, we went to purchase our SmartRider card and went back to the hostel. Weather wasn't that cold compared to yesterday but nonetheless, its freezing.. Rain for a couple of SECONDS (and yes, its seconds) and we walked back to the hostel...

Then after which I ate my leftover lunch from yesterday's lunch (Baked rice with steak and ham) and attempted to activate the SmartRider and change my timetable. Failed miserably and went to Carmen's HOME to do it.. Haha..

Then we went to the supermarket called K-Mart.. Brought quite a lot of things (pillows, more food like GIGANTIC sausages and a kg worth of chicken thigh, pails, scrubs etc)...

Going back to the hostel with all the stuffs we purchased were tiring and funny. Its the most pathetic shopping trip I have ever been to.. Haha.. Upon reaching the exit of the supermarket, it rained heavily so we got no choice but to wait.. Haha.. Then after the rain stopped, we 'chiong' out from the supermart and with our trolley fulls of items, made our way back. It started to rain half way and I use my umbrella to shelter all the items instead of the two of us. It was pretty pathetic though. The umbrella apparently folded backwards due to the strong wind leaving us
shocked and stunned. Haha. But we recovered pretty fast, laughing at all our mishaps. Haha.
Zzzzzzz......

Went back safely.. Cooked our own dinner and well, it tasted pretty good.. Especially the "popcorn rice" aka "rice that is a bit burnt and had sticked to the bottom of the pot". The "popcorn rice" is made by attempting to cook rice using a pot (mind you, its not a rice cooker) and VOA LA! Popcorn rice.. Its seriously good!! Dinner was broccoli, baked potatos and over-sized sausages and rice and a bit of popcorn rice.. Haha!
