Woke up earlier than usual. Somehow I just couldnt sleep even though i stayed up watching ManUtd’s trashing of Spurs. It’s like the few hours before exams, the only difference was that the feeling of doom(?) and sadness was far greater..the clock seemed to tick faster and i passed the day in a blur. All of a sudden i’m all suited up n heading to the airport. Next i knew, I was saying my goodbyes. Then…i took off!

The night view of Klia was spectacular but apart fr tht, d flight sucked. I got a seat near the wing so the roar of the engine was horrendous. and i’d rather forget the supper..it’s supposed 2b fish with pasta…it was more like shit with hardened flour. barely got 3 hours’ sleep all night..by the time I landed in Sydney I was reali worn out.
But the view was gorgeous And the airport’s just fantastic..there’s a whole air of professionalism about the place. Pity i just stayed 2hours there; had a connecting flight to catch. That was like…12.55pm canberra time. Everyone’s deadbeat by then but we just struggled on. And at long last, I’m here at anu!
My initial impression was…canberra’s pretty spread out and there’s lotsa earth crust around, wif shrubs and grass and trees lining the roads. And anu’s like…a place suspended in time. haha. My accom’s simply fantastic, by the way. The room’s big, the food’s tasty, the people are friendly, the list goes on….but yeah. There are no fans. And it’s HOT right now!!
At night, the senior residents brought us to a bar called Mooseheads. Everyone had a good time and we got to know lots of ppl..Great start to life in Ursula Hall, i’d say!

This is my first full day at ANU…woke up pretty early (breakfast is at 7.45) and after breakfast, went to settle stuff like enrolment etc…went shopping for a fan and also other stuff 2day at a store called Big W in Canberra Mall. Well, the mall’s small but Canberra isn’t! Omg…ANU’s ady big enuf; it takes 15 mins 2travel a quarter of its diameter. V walked like 30mins 2actuali reach d mall! Try carrying a fan plus 5kg of detergent among other things under the hot sun for tht long n u’ll understand how tired i am now…
Oh well…i can finally go online so that’s nice. Even nicer is d fact that I can use wireless which is free simply because my room’s near the pc lab, lols.
Tomorrow’s international orientation day followed by Canberra Bus Tour on Saturday..Lotsa stuff coming up, i can barely wait!

Well, i know many ppl would think Canberra’s a dead place.
But it’s not. I’m just glad that i’m enjoying life here so far, glad that I chose the right hall to stay in. Let’s hope everything else goes as smoothly come start of term =)
