Nemesis: Day 2 to day 8

Alright, been busy the past few days (tutorials, labs, I have freaking 26 hours per week) and as usual, Newcastle's connection sucks..Well, let's continue with my last post. Haha...Thanks KS for the less words, more photos suggestion. But as I mention before, I hate to upload photos cause blogger keeps on adding additional spaces when I upload a photo, takes long time to adjust back for normal viewing..Alright, cut the crap, I'll continue.

Day 2 in Evatt House (9 July)

First day of the Orientation Week, too bad it's not what I expected, maybe it's 2nd semester for them, NTU don't event have any orientation event during Jan. Haha. Well, after my first night in my room (which is very warm and cosy thanks to the heater), woke up late in the morning for the pancake breakfast with Rheegan, it was suppose to be a block breakfast but the others were not in, so it's only me and Rheegan do the cooking. Haha. Well, seriously wonder how McDonald's can have such nice looking pancake...

My first and last attempt...lol

With Rheegan

At night was the first event of the Orientation, Mystery Dinner...Well, thought it was something like Fright Nite...But end up just a special pizza dinner at Newcastle city. Pizza made Aussie style, wood-fired...Our table have about 10 types of different pizza (6 people sharing) which it's very different from what we have in Pizza Hut. (Imagine pizza with yogurt...)

Photos of some the pizzas, others digested..lol

After that was the usual drinking session at the bar nearby, didn't join cause im don't really alcohol...

Day 3 in Evatt House (10 July)

Well, today is the official university orientation day, woke up early for the usual briefing and stuffs. After the free lunch (BBQed sausages with bread again, Aussie people are very proud with their BBQ skill...lol), went for the free Newcastle city tour...Newcastle is the largest coal export harbour in the world, and recently became famous thanks to the poor "Pasha Bulker" trapped for more than 3 weeks due to the recent storm and flood..

It was welcome dinner at night but didn't take any photos, the food was good...

Day 4 in Evatt (11 July)

It was a fine day for a game of......Lawn bowls..more info about the game, feel free to visit...

It's kinda famous among the old people in Aussie, I think most of the retired uncles will spend most of the afternoon having a few games of lawn bowls with their friends...It's not like the ten-pin bowling I used to play, the balls used are asymmetry, so i cannot just aim and throw at the center pin like in ten-pin. So it was kind of tricky for the first few attempts to throw the ball at a certain angle and force because the ball will curve when it's rolling.

It was another clubbing session at night, didn't join either...lol

Day 5 in Evatt (12 July)

The event of the day was ice-skating. Only took some photos before it starts because was trying to keep my balance after that as it's the 2nd time i skate...lol..As usual, some bruises on butt and knees...lol..

Cooked asian style dinner for our block's block dinner...I admit I still need more practices....

Day 6 in Evatt (13 July)

It was another drinking night at Shorty Pub...OMG, Aussie people do have iron liver...But this is different from the just alcohol and mingling session, we had karaoke that night too, so I just joined the fun.No no no...It's not like K box or Redbox, it's public singing..lol...And sang a few songs with my blockmates..

Sindre, Aimee and Amanda..

Me and Kiri (Housemate)

Day 7 in Evatt (14 July)

Slacked and watched Prison Break...

Day 8 in Evatt (15 July)

It's returner night for Evatt where all the residents came back to Evatt after their 3 weeks holiday. Well, you got it right...Aussie don't party without alcohol...And there were band performance by Evatt's band: Red November Riot!!! They played well...
