The Soccer Friday and the Hot Saturday

Yesterday was a very interesting day. I'm saying that because it was the very first time i actually played soccer yesterday! haha. It was with the bro and his friends. Somehow the image of me playing football doesnt seem to sit very well in alot of people's minds. When i told a few of my friends that i was playing soccer their first expression was 'are you serious? YOU are playing soccer?' Yes, as surprising as it sounds to everyone, even i myself was surprised that i actually went to play soccer. Maybe its because its been ages since i last exercised and that i really felt like sweating it out. Anyway, the whole soccer experience was quite a good one, except now i'm left with a very very sore body, with a salonpas on my back and a big blueblack on my leg. That was after some strong guy kicked the ball and it hit my leg twice! But other than that, it was a pretty fun experience and i must say it is one of those games where you literally 'sweat it out!'. And according to my bro i'm a very noisy player, i kept screaming and all when i was playing, haha somehow i get excited and all when i play this kind of games. Anyway, now im kind of suffering the after effects of a two hour soccer game, but according to my brother, the first time is always like that and its suppose to get better with time. I seriously hope so!

Anyway, today is a very very hot day!! Its currently 34 degrees and its very very dry. I dislike this kind of weather. It wears me down and makes me feel lethargic. Hopefully the temp will drop in the next few days and during the f1 period! im pretty excited because formula 1 season is starting on thursday. Hopefully the melbourne one is going to be a blast, since we spent a considerable amount on the tickets. Anyway, its back to work now, got readings and all to do!

End of Week 3

YAY finally the weekend is here. Yes my weekend begins at 3pm on thursday! I can finally wake up later than 730 since for four days of a week, i've to literally drag myself out of bed to attend 9am classes. I'm exhausted after a long and tiring week at school. There is just so much to read and do. But on a brighter note, i do feel like im learning things that are really practical and applicable for my future career as a lawyer. Hopefully this thought will give me the determination to pull through the last two years of uni life. Anyway, the weather here is really hot today, its like 31 degrees. And both the bro and i feel like we are just sizzling at home. The air is really warm and all, and now im hoping that it would rain sometime soon and cool the whole place down. Oh yes, there was apparently an earthquake yesterday but the bro and i didnt feel anything at all. It was suppose to be of a magnitude of 4.6 but either we are too far from where it originated or something, we didnt even know it occurred until we saw it on the online newspaper. Lets just hope such occurrence is a rarity and that we would hopefully not feel it ever.

This week was pretty all right, nothing very exciting, maybe just the day where the bro and i went around the city looking for the poker game and since we were already in the city we decided to take the tram to crown to eat "the lot". "the Lot" is a huge like three slices of white bread with rib eye steak, bacon, egg, mushrooms and all. It was really nice but very very filling at the same time! And the ice chocolate there is good too! =) i expect that we will return soon! i've got photos to show, but i guess the photos dont do enough justice to the quality of the food. Another highlight of the week was on tuesday night where the bro, tim and i went to try the new korean place. It was pretty good, but i think maybe i still prefer the old one better. But maybe thats just me being "si ban". But the kimchi soup with pork was nice. It was a set dinner. It costs about 65 for the set, which apparently feeds 4-5 people but the three of us found it manageable. After that, we proceeded to robyn's place to play poker with our new set that costs us just 13 dollars. One of the bro's friends got it for us and so we decided to play the game. haha it was quite fun, and as the photos will show later, we had one player that "had some eye problem" . haha yes im talking about my own brother! apparently korkor said that he had to wear sunglasses because if not we could all read him like a book! It was quite fun, and the winner in the end was robyn, korkor second, i emerged third and erm tim wee landed up bankrupt! hahah. Okays, enough of talking, let me start posting the pictures! anyway, its rice and dishes tonight! im cooking sukiyaki beef, terriyaki chicken, egg beancurd with prawn paste and egg! Hopefully it will turn out nice!! okays let the pictures do the talking!!! oh yes, i just realised that i havent blogged about my first class experience, ok i shall blog about that soon!!

Work is piling up

Its the end of the second week and that also means that the workload is piling up. I've got an admin law assignment due in slightly less than a mths time and another property research essay due in abt two months time. I had better get started, as besides all those assignments i've tons to read for all the subjects. I pray that God will give me the determination and the strength to fight on and i pray for his mercy and grace.

Anyway on a different note, an update about what we did yesterday! The bro and i went to Kensington recreation centre. The bro went there to play football with a few friends. Haha, i know the whole idea about korkor playing soccer is like 'are you serious?" haha. yes im serious, and i was the spectator, drinks dispenser and time keeper! I quite enjoyed watching it, cos i found it rather hilarious =) After that, we went for our usual fri night hangout, japanese food at port philip arcade. As usual, it was good but i somehow feel like i had an overdose of sashimi! We also had crepes for dessert. So yesterday was pretty exciting i guess, compared to our usual days where we just stay at home the whole day. Today is catching up of work, i've tons of readings to do. Okays, i will post some pictures up soon!

2nd week of school

Time really flies! The second day of the second week of school has just ended. That also means im 1/6 through my school term =) But that also means that the readings are piling up and the work load is getting heavier by the day. The life of a law student. Oh wells. Anyway, the parents have been here the past 11 days and they are leaving tomorrow. That also means that from tomorrow onwards i have to be the full-time cook, "maid" and all in one. But this is also the last semester the bro is going to be here so I'm going to enjoy his company while i still have it! =)

Nothing much has happened since the last time i blogged, except the weather seems to be getting warmer these days. And i for one do not like warm weather at all. Somehow it makes me more irritable and angsty. I am looking forward to winter. Two more months before the nice, cold weather. As for now, its back to the readings!

First week of fourth year!

I'm currently in the midst of the first week of my fourth year of uni! Though its only the first week, i already have tons and tons of reading to do! I guess thats just part and parcel of being a full-fledged law student. But i must say so far im pretty much enjoying my subjects. The content and all are really interesting, and im hoping that my interest in these subjects do eventually show in my final scores. =)

So anyway, the weather here has been pretty good so far. Today is by far the coldest day since i returned back to melbs, its been raining quite alot today and the current temperature is 14 degrees. The wind has also been pretty strong today. Im still trying to readjust back to the time zone and lifestyle here. I guess it takes about a week or so to get used to it all over again. Okays, i shall get back to my reading now, before they start piling up!!!
