Mid Semester Break!!

Well well frens.... its been a long time since i blogged proper.... and well nothing much has happened besides the usual routine... wake up... go to skool.... pretend to understand my lectures... bum around the library.... go home... eat.... watch tv... read on the lectures... sleep... wake up in the middle of the night to msn...well that kind of thing.....

but we had Easter Holidays here which meant super uber long weekend like from Friday (Good Friday) to Monday (Easter Monday) which is good i guess plus! plus! they decided to put the Mid semester break after the long weekend so now it brings us to here! somewhere in the middle of the Mid Semester break.

So kool things!!! For Easter my Entomology Lecturer have us eggs... Stick Insect eggs!!! Woots!! So Kool rite? i'm so amused... but apparently it could take ages for the thing to hatch.... ok maybe 3 to 4 months? so thats the bummer part of it.. but its ok.. oh and she gave us a real chocolate egg for compensation..hahah...

Close Up of Eggie...



Oooooh besides that i went shopping. oh i know i shouldn't but i can't resist... me and my housemate went to D.F.O... Direct Factory Outlet... its this palce where they sell last seasons stuff and like have discounts up to 70%!!! and its a huge ass place..... and as wit all things in aussie its located in the middle of nowhere... so i bought meself a pair of black converse sneakers which i wanted from before i left Singapore... and that bag was some vintage find from a flea market.. its old i like it.... its just there coz i thought the shoes needed a fren...

i bought a polo tee... and 4 t-shirts and a pair of pinstriped berms... all for under 100 bucks.... i'm mightily amused...

so that brings us to tuesday... i went to the Queensland Museum on Tuesday... main purpose was to get free stick insect nymphs!! well i can't be waiting for my egg to hatch can i... the museum only gives the stick insect away to people who stay in the area... which makes me eligable... i got 5 nymphs...

3 of them are Children's Stick Insect.. they are named after a guy named Children, not cause they are really for children... and the other 2 are Goliath Stick Insects.. huge ass insects they will become that is if they manage to grow into adulthood.... so now i have these babies munching happily on eucalypt leaves... so cute!! pics!!!

So Far

Miniature Horses... Not Ponies... Horses.... So Cute...

So its been a long time since i blogged and its been a log time since i had comments on my blog. oh i miss those times....so wat have i been up to so far. was it a week or two? i rather not think about the time spent here and by doing that it somehow makes it pass a little bit faster. and indeed it has coz the week has whizzed by maybe coz i have alot of things to keep me occupied like labs and pilates and stuff.

well other than busy-ing myself in skool thats pretty much it. at home cook and sleep and watch tv. and ohhh lets not forget the all important studying bits that i am supposed to do wen i'm here hahaha.

well anyways i went to Spectacular Petacular!!!! at the RNA showgrounds. its this big (not giant, just big) pet expo and boy it was fun. so many animals were around an so many cute things... liek cute doggies and cute kitties and cute guinea piggies and cute mousey and cute birdies and cute llamas and cute horsies. so cute all of them! i didn't take alot of pictures coz my phone camera was cranky and well i took just a few pictures. jsut some of the weird and interesting ones...

Geese looking all proud and regal.

Chickins!


a really big horsey....


Curly Feather Pigeon. So Weird Rite.


Fan Tailed Pigeon.


I dunno wat it is but it looks like it has no beak.


its supposed to be a chicken. its very cute.

i've been here for a month already. fast eh? like wow. so far i only have one nit to pick. that is the transport system of brisbane. yes i'm sure all those people who have visited Brisbane and does not drive will have faced the same problem as me.

like seriously only one bus that comes every hour? like wth! and there will be alot of people waiting at the bus stop and the bus can only take a few people at your stop coz its already full wen it arrives so u end up waiting for another hour for the bus to come. its terrible. yeah i hate the bus system but some how i have to take. its a love/hate thing.

oh well.... till next time....
