An email to Pn Haz

Hi Pn Haz, Sze Ching here! How are you? I'm ok, dont worry. Things are fine here.I'm just writing to tell you that I have to write a 1500 words essay here too, for a subject called professional engineering. It's exactly like IS with all the Harvard style referencing. So you see, the skills I learnt in esls dont go to waste. Since it's due next week, I really should get to work. I'm actually writing this email just so that I can procrastinate longer. You can show this email to the juniors if you want to but its not very informative and i wouldnt mind if you dont. If you do, i guess it'd be to let them know that what they learn in esls will be used here. That is true. So ask them to try and enjoy doing esls coz they will have to do those things for YEARS to come.

Hope you wont scare the juniors too much with this email,
Sze Ching

Workshop

Today I’m happy.

This is because of this thing.

I have a workshop every week where I learn those stuff that we do in Kemahiran Hidup, just more advanced. Welding, blacksmithing, all those stuff. This week our task is to make the tool that u hit with hammer to make marks on metal plates. I don’t know what they’re called. We’re provided with a long metal rod and we must heat the tip of it until its glowing hot and then hit the tip with a hammer all round until it becomes pointy. Then we cut it off around 5cm from the tip and we have the tool! Our tools will then be given marks according to how beautiful and smooth they are. Its really, really hard work.

This is my result.



which I top my class with. That’s why I’m happy =)

I usually suck in these KH things. That makes me even happier.

And then the instructor showed us how to make a decorative metal leaf using the metal rod just for fun. Mine looks quite beautiful.



So I’m happy!

Detailed update

ok time to submit the full report of my sydney life.

lets start with the place i live. its in a suburb called darlington. In fact, the whole main campus is in darlington. during a campus tour our tour guide explained that the uni bought the whole suburb some time back and build the whole uni around the wentworth building, which is diagonally opposite my house. but the uni map shows that this place is more of a corner than a centre.

Lets start with the day i arrive. i reached sydney at around 8am, feeling a bit scared (coz i didnt know what to expect) and very excited (coz facing the unexpected excites me). The jpa officers were waiting for us at the airport and we were ordered to go to malaysian hall for a briefing. Considering that jpa officers picked up the curtin students and treated them to lunch at a RESTAURANT, I thought that they would at least cover our transportation. But no, we have to pay for the van that those officers booked for us ($10) to go to malaysian hall for NASI AYAM.And then pay ourselves to get to our accomodation ($15). On the way, we learnt that going to our place directly from the airport is actually cheaper. However, it was an order from jpa, it was not to be defied. Not that we're new to jpa's tyrannical style of doing things.

Along the way to where we (the darlington terrace and house occupants) were supposed to go to get our keys, we saw some really old style terrace house. Really vintage kind of house. Wong (kuan yuen) was joking that maybe our houses would be something like this. Then we went to the international office to take our keys and went to the address they gave. And guess what, those terraces are our houses.


this is my house


this is my room

But this place is quite convenient. its close to my class, to king street which has a lot of restaurants, lots of bus stops, and the international office is just a few metres away. the nearest shopping complex is 15 minutes walk away though. and thats the nearest place to buy bread. so, i do weekly shopping.to walk there i must cut thru a beautiful park called vittoria park.



I also joined a lot of clubs. there's the malaysian club, engineering club, unimates (where international students get together to have fun) and the most important 1, the anime club. there's screening every tue, wed and thu afternoon. i feel so happy there's a club like this.

oh and the smoke alarm went off 3 times while i cook. but nothing happened.

Monday, March 05, 2007

class starts today

not much really. went to 1 of the math lecture and found out that 90% of the syllabus this sem i already learn in INTEC. so nice rite? i have a feeling im going to pass this subject without much effort. happy :-)

and then i went back to sleep coz 10-12 im free. at 11.45 dragged myself out of bed and went to tutorial only to find that it starts next week. cursed everything i can think of cursing and went back again to play games coz all my classes are 5 minutes walk away from my room.

went to class again at 1 and attended the 1st MTRX1701 class. It was an introductory class but in the end i still dont know what class that is, i only know mechanical, mechatronic and biomedic students have to take it. since it was only introduction it lasted 20 minutes and my class for the day officially ended. and so i went to change my timetable so that my thursday classes do not (fcuking) start at 8 and end at 4. Btw, my class starts at 8 on mon, tue, thu and fri and i cant do anything about it. life sucks.

as preparation for waking up early, i bought coffee. i cant find any 3 in 1 here, so i bought a can of instant coffee powder which they claim i need only add hot water. dunno if its the same. i have a feeling i shouldnt expect too much.
