23rd Feb to 2nd March (Official Week 1 of Semester)
- Started lectures in Uni. Some are really....boring. Omigod now I really appreciate how HELP lecturers go straight to the point instead of turning a big round to tell you some/a lot of unnecessary things.
- No tutorials for the week, so went to explore more. Basically just having fun
- Went for Amazing G-Race organized by CCM (Campus Christian Movement). My team got first place for our category! :D :D :D Made some amazing friends there. ;)

3rd to 9th March
- Went to UQMSA (UQ Malaysian Students' Association) Welcoming BBQ. It rained. :( And we left early cause' we had to do groceries shopping earlier before the Internet dude comes to the house and address our internet problem (yea, and in the end our problems are not solved. what the heck)

- Tutorials started. OMG starting to face problems. Answers are not direct and unless you really know things inside out, you really have problems with some of the classes. Especially I have CORPORATIONS LAW (law, what do you expect? You must know inside out lol) and ISSUES IN FINANCIAL REPORTING (Basically it's all the accounting standards, or you can call them LAW for ACCOUNTANTS)
- Some friends tried to move out, so I just joined them. But yeah, a lot of things happened in between, let's just say we finally decided to stay here.
- Celebrated Jason's birthday. XD
 |
| His cake! Baked by Esther and Xiau Wei. And yea, he got a condom as his present. XD |
10th to 16th March
- Got my textbooks. Finalleh! Need to start studying soon. Or I think I wouldn't be able to catch up later. So...coming Easter Break, study time! T.T So sad
- Well at this week I sorta settled down, like really settled down, both physically and mentally. So nothing special now, got used to the routine, so yeap. Not much to update here now teehee.
So peeps. That concludes my first month here. I shall update more on some notable cultural differences in the next update kay? So stay tuned!
