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.
