Too bad, no photo was taken in Harbour Town because nothing were special besides shopping. It was raining on that day.

From Brisbane to Gold Coast just consume around 40 - 50 minutes by car. So after back to Brisbane, I went to eat steak and dessert that “quite” costly to me.

Oyster Shooters… slurp ><

Slurp~~ erm…what taste neh ? feel salty with tomato juice with some alcohol inside with oyster?

After starter, hoho the main dish - STEAK…. The best steak I have ever ate in Brisbane and Malaysia. Chilis and Fridays also cannot fight with this steak!!

Mushroom Source on top of my steak >< damn yummmy nia.. you can’t imagine how yummy of this mushroom source with the steak!!! Imagine aussie’s mushroom, when you bike once, some juicy of mushroom came out.

It was so convenience on that day with a car with us. After we have a dinner somewhere around Mater Hill station, we went to have our dessert directly at Emporium, New Farm. This is what they were ordered on that day.

Simon has ordered the drink above. They claims the drink is suitable for female, aka “female drinks”. When I taste it, seriously ngam me =.=

I have some feeling that I must study hard for this few hours before attend the exam at 8.30am because I never did well on previous few subjects (Enterprise Software Architecture & Enterprise System). I seriously long time didn’t leave so many blank questions since APIIT until now. My mind have told me I probably failed these 2 subjects and require me to take the summer programs here =.=

Tomorrow cilaka MinG will be meeting BeeKuan and MSH gang in KL. I wonder what kind of souvenir ah ming will bring back to them.

Anyway, I have planned to go Gold Coast, DreamWorld, MovieWorld, Wet n Wild and Sydney by car. Further details regarding accommodation haven’t plan yet.. I wonder after exam I will “lan si kat lou” to uni’s lab to search more information about my trip or not.

Also, I cant imagine how much I will spend on these trips and something has make me feel unbelievable about my sister. She said

I live in Oxford Park in Kelvin Grove, its a double storey apartment. 

This is QUT Kelvin Grove Busway. Normally I used to spend 5-10 minutes walking from my house to here to the city during weekend. 

I do not have my own digital camera, so I didn’t have so much picture to show up here. However, you can see see the street view of my house via Google Map. 

You can go to http://maps.google.com.au/   and type: School Street, Kelvin Grove, Qld, 5049

to search where do I live currently and you’ll see there is a building that still under construction below. 

Look at this pic, actually the 2 bulidings in front is belongs to QUT (Biomedical faculty if i not mistaken). 

There is a street called Victoria Park Road nearby my house. Try to search around. The entire Victoria Park Road & Musk Avenue also owned by QUT Kelvin Grove geh.. See the picture above, is the campus that I used to online at lab every night. 

Too bad ah.. you cant even see how the QUT Main campus (Gardens Point) look alike. See the picture above, the right building actually is a Brisbane Parliament House. If you continue go straight on, there is the campus where I used to attend my classes few times a week. I wonder how Google able to capture those pictures without any students walking around this road oh… Normally full of students walking in and out using this road one.

See my nerd face in Brisbane… 10x nerder in KL ….. haihz

recently i do assignment until got phobia already. But something was happened on last few days that make us quite happy…

First, we enter some numbers according to the beverage number that you like...

Early in the morning. Its time to go back home and sleep. But.... please take a look of his bag...

Want to have a drink?? hehehe

you know what i mean… hehe

Busy or lazy was the lamest excuses to me for updating my blog. Whenever I have my own free time, I have told my gang I have no Internet access at home so I don’t bother to update my blog. Actually I was no motivation to update my blog due to my English was not my primary language.

By the way, I was busy completing my assignments. I used to sleep at 6-7am and wake up at 5pm (at least). Everyday I woke up at this time, I cannot see the sun anymore, but I can see sun rise at 5.30am when time for me to sleep. What to do.. I have a week of semester break for me to rest hehe.

I went to Fortittute valley today for my brunch, unfortunately like most of the Chinese restaurants were closed at 3pm. So, me and the just went to one of the restaurant and ordered “torching chicken”. Nia meh… the dish were so….. full of dry chilli and spice (rempah ratus I think?) taste without any spicy, salty or sweet taste at all.

After finished my meal, I went to an Asian supermarket to look around and finally found 8 zan soup, a herb mix that purposely for female. The cost of the herbs pack was reasonable. But… whenever I imagine of the herbs pack that I wanted to bring from KL to Brisbane (which confiscated in airport), two words to describe the amount of ingredients: “Big Difference”.

I will upload the picture next time >< .

In animal section, cows, horse, sheep, dogs, poultry will be available within the hall.

the cow too big, I don’t dare to go near him/her  LOL ><

Do you know that Australia is the 3rd largest lamb producer?

LLAMA - don’t see this llama until so cham… later you’ll know why..

Theme park section. Not bad huh?!

Ha….. Mr. Teh attacked by LLAMA!! the picture was too blur and if you want to see bigger size of this picture, probably you can check his facebook album next time

MalaysiaAirlines - my nerd face….

First day to QUT on Monday 14th July, first breakfast at this cafe for a plate of pancake.

QueenSt Mall - Hungry Jacks aka Burger King @ Malaysia

Hungry Jacks better than McD alot here. See what I have ordered? Cheese with Bacon

Ah…. the most expensive western food that I have ate here! cost me RM100+ for a steak that taste bad !!!

Although I don’t drink a beer/liquor, yet I gotta show my passport to prove my age to get a drink for myself

Want to continue see more about me ah? Goto facebook nia. See so much!

Thank you for everyone who was wake up early to see my last face on Sunday morning at KLIA. I really appreciate that!! The first day I reached to Brisbane was in Sunday 1am. Every shop was closed and you don’t even see more than 10 cars on the road except police car.

Currently I stay in Kelvin Grove campus live village just opposite QUT Kelvin grove campus. No blanket, no pillow except a bed for you. I have worn 4 clothes including the thickest jacket that my sister bought from USA last time. I feel cold for the entire night.

It was quite busy for first few days. Everyday I have to wake up early in the morning, either keep walking or run for the traffic or bus. I didn’t know that everything was expensive here including clothes, sunglasses, food and etc. What I need to do is to not to think about converting AUD to MYR. For example to buy a burger, it cost around AUD10 so I need to treat it as RM10 otherwise I don’t think I will get any food here.

There are many China and Korean people here. You may find most of the student taking their resume throwing to each food stall. I saw one of the food stall directly reject the resume. I wonder when I can bravely start looking for a job in Brisbane.

If I have the chance to change everything, may be I will be in UK already. UK is much more cheaper than Australia. Wow… Australian so rich!!

Dear my friends please don’t phone me anymore. I’m sorry for not to informing all that I was leaving to Brisbane on last Sunday.
