3rd weekend, EAT!

Sunday, We went to the fish market to eat.

Meet in the city, chinatown at 10am. But there is a marathon in the city on that day. the bus service went topsy- tupvy, go up, down, left right in the rural area. make me late by reaching there at 10.30am

We walk for 15 minutes, and we reach the Fish market





The monorail went past over me. look nice.






You all can see the board. WATERFRONT A.k.A FISH MARKET, with 4 bird on the top






At the fish market, there are LOT of Birds flying around, try to get the food from human. And they behave like thief, target on ladies and aunty. We took 20 minutes to look for sits and we enter the fish market.









Look at all the seafood available!









Look at what we ordered!









Wilson have a hard time swallowing. see his face!





We got so much food, i have to take away some food. We all go back, 9th month pregnant. i even order 18 oyster! but the oyster is cheap, one oyster only 1.30 dollar, not more than 2 sing dollar! It was seriously a delight to eat.

We also eat sashimi, 60 dollar worth, two pack of fish meat, got salmon, tuna... wa.... i eat until i want to use some to cook fish porridge.

After that, we went to the ciruclar quey to rock market. i will talk more or rock market in my next post.

After rock market, we went to starbuck to drink and the lady left to have a earlier rest. Wilson and i went to karaokwith his friens, a place call red box. 3 hours for 10 AUS dollar, not bad!, sang from 7pm to 10pm.

Tomorrow is mid autumn festival, so i hope everyone can eat mooncake and enjoy the moon tmr! i will take photo of the lab mooncake party. Hope to update this week soon

3rd weekend, SHOP

finally, weekend come again!

On the saturday, we went to birkenhead to shop cause there is where all the factory outlet are located. All the shops sell all their products at a much cheaper price. We need to go to the city before taking bus to the westside of sydney

The weather on that day was very windy. too windy and the temperature is less than 20 degree, cold. We try to brisk walk there cause the weather was too cold.





The food court. The food there are expensive, thank goodness got subway






most of the day is spent in this shop, cause that "tai tai" stephanies cannot decided which sunglasses to get






There a yachet park in front of the brikenhead port.






This bridge, have a long history, but you can see it make from iron bar





Time to go back to the city.

2nd weekend. Darling harbour

The past week, the whole of group of us went to the darling harbour to see the sydney aquarium.

The fee to the aquarium and to and fro transport cost about AUD$33. which is not bad cause, the cost of single trip is AUD$5.20 and the aquarium entrance free itself is about AUD$28.90, so we saved about AUD$6.00, but we reached we can walk there from the city to the sydney aquarium, but never mind, we got chance to sit on the ferry.






Some of the scene at darling harbour, maybe jack sparrow pack his new ship in sydney



At the aquarium, i was amazed that size of the aquarium itself. it is huge!, they got three places whereby there is underwater tunnel like those in sentosa underworld. The aquarium have a group of animal together in the underwater tunnel, unlike singapore whereby they mixed everything up like rojah. If want to see shark, all the shark are there. Seriously, it was fasinating,








Some seal going up the shore to meet the tourists







Nemo! Stop hiding, i know where you are! haha! Got you!




After walking around, we went to cross the bridge to the other side of the river, the much more active side of the river to shop for window (window shopping for short)





Taking a photo with the monorail, since no money to take photo in the monorail or near the monorail, i take above of us!







The City itself with the monorail track in the centre.









The sea view of the darling harbour








One of the shops in darling harbour that sell dolls that can be inside of the other dolls, i think it call the maryoth- somehting one.






Both stephanie and li qiu went crazy and went to kill the bronze bird outside the fountion.











This is a short video of the crazy thing we did in darling harbour.




With that, i conclude my 2nd weekend and get ready to do lab work for another 5 days.... Sian.... Why time fly when we enjoy it?

The funeral director, i know movies have director, why on earth you need director for funeral, hey! the guy is dead!







Does it prounce as "people" or "Pi Po"?, if it is "pi po", i just found the italian version of "ba Bo"






Look that the first two words of the hair salon, i see it, i won't even go in, cause i will be "Sian Aa" after looking at the first two words.

First days in School.

Day: 10 september
Venue: UNSW science block
Person to meet: Professor Staffun Kjellyberg
Time: 9am

All of us are outside the buliding at UNSW bioloigcal science block. initially wating for the professor to come, but we went up to find him instead. In the office, i saw a old guy with some white hair on his head, wear spectacle, skinny. i did n't know he was the professor. haha

So, the first day, we didn'r do much things, cause we haven't get the student card and haven't done the paper work.
So it end at 12 noon. so we went to the supermarket to buy some things. The girls bought lot and lot of chips and i bought a 2.25litre coke at a price of $1.10 AUs or 1.60 sing dollar, till today, i haven't drink finished the bottle.

From the supermarket, all of us pull 3 trolley from the supermarket to the girls lodging area, the parade lodge. The trip from supermarket to the lodge was an ADVENTURE. Got hill, slope, traffic. We went pass the hospital, the university, some shop house before reaching the lodge. the distance is about 2-3km. the trolly wasn't that easy to control, need to move the body in different way to control the trolley effectively. The worst part is the stare from the public. it was so embrassassing. People are looking at us, thinking, "what the hell are these 5 people doing?"

Then we went ot the city for a walk. lost in the city, found chinatown. Picture uploaded in the next post.

Today, we are assigned to different lab and i was the only guy (I ALSO the ONLY guy in the group going to UNSW) going alone. The lab i assigned to is Breff lab. i was brought by brandon to go into the lab. When i go in, i saw a guy who wear slipper in the lab, where all chemicals are around. i was like thinking, "what the hell was he?". then brandon say,"this guy is breff." i was like."HUH?". and Breff is the PhD holder, overlook the whole lab.

I was then under the supervisor for the day, Jasper, who show me DNA extraction, which i learn before but forget. HE did it once and when finished, it was about 3.45pm. They ask me to join them for soccer,so i went.

Imagine going to a big farm, playing soccer wiht PhDs, it is a new kind of experience. The best part, some of them was very muscular. VERY! like a bufflo. Strong, fast and swift in their movenment. i was amazed. tHe best part, even you are tired, no strength or "wasted", you hardly sweat, and the weather is so cold unlike singaproe where you will feel the sticky leg and armpit, you can continues playing for hours, non-stop. FUN! enjoyable.

The following are the photo taken in UNSW, enjoY!
