Met up and hung around the rooms for everyone to get ready then went for lunch in the dining hall before heading through the city to Northbridge for a game of LaserTag =D
14 ppl split into 3 teams.. it was sooo fun and a great workout.. i ranked 6th weii hehehe
Walked back to the city for a bit of shopping until nighttime
Went to NorthBridge Chinatown for dinner.. the food was freaking delicious!! Never thought i'd miss chinese food so much
After dinner those from homestays had to go back unfortunately.. the rest of us from Currie hall split into 2 groups, 1 group willing and daring enough to walk all the way back to currie through the city =D.. and the other group.. who missed out waiting sooo long for the bus coz they were tired XD.. wahahaha i bet you guys regretted it!!
Got to explore the city, walking through a lot of nice little districts and little street cafes.. the view was spectacular and the weather was nice and breezy
During our walk, halfway back along Matilda Bay, we found that the rest had just boarded the bus.. the bus usually goes along the same road.. so to screw with their heads we ran all the way to the bus stop and caught the same bus just in time hahahahaha.. omg the look on their faces were priceless.. made us laugh even harder.. the other passengers on the bus must've thought we were nuts lol..
Didnt plan on sleeping.. so when we got back, we unloaded all our stuff, changed and went back out just in time to celebrate valentines day at 12 0'clock haha.. quite a few people were already in the courtyard.. uni students aswell.. hung around for abit then headed toward the river..
tho we got sidetracked to UWA lol..
wondered around and found the sunken garden which is supposedly where everyone goes when they skip lectures.. After awhile, it started drizzling.. wandered into some old creepy passageway that led to a carpark.. stood around figuring where we were then ran all the way down to the underpass through the garden sprinklers and rain..
Headed straight for the dining hall when we reached Currie.. The hot chocolate and lattes felt soo relaxing with alyssa's piano solos
Crashed in Seans room after where the guys were playing poker.. It was around 5am by then and we were so tired that 4 of us actually fell asleep on a single-sized bed lol!! Woke up in the morning feeling so blur.. Sean actually had to sleep in Josephs room for the night ><
Next day everyone was too stoned the entire afternoon so our sunset by the beach plan was postponed =.= The ex-foundation and currie hall students came to visit in the evening so we decided to join them for dinner at Fremantle.. they headed back to Currie for drinks later on
Went to city for one last round of shopping after school, then went for a run by the river.. pretty much the same routine when we're bored

Life in Perth is good so far.. Assignments and Projects are piling up.. staying up past 1 everyday just to finish my assignments.. and no its not because im hardworking, its because i procrastinate a lot in the afternoon >< going to the city or just hanging around the dorms..
English class here is super tough! It makes the english they teach in form 5 look like std 1 work.. I actually have to read a whole chapter on READING and ANALYZING stuff you read.. and i didnt understand a single thing damn thing the first time i went through it.. now i have to write a thesis and a 1500 word essay!! arghh..
Putting all the academics aside.. Hostel life is going GREAT! Its sooo fun.. and im grateful i was able to get a spot in Currie Hall.. waiting list is super long.. Coz its the only residential college that rents out 1 floor to foundation students in perth.. so those who dont get in will have to go for homestay..
Chor tai ti and blackjack our only familiar feeling of cny
watching movies past midnight
Another cool thing about living here.. is when we realize we havent finished the same english assignments due the next day.. we cram up in wayne's room until 3/4am in the morning struggling to complete it
pizza.. our only decent meal
Midnight walks around UWA
Midnight piano and guitar serenades.. Lucky for us we have residents access through the sidedoor of the dining hall although its locked up.. so we can secretly just crash even at 2am in the morning
Going for late night jogging sessions along Matilda Bay. Once we actually jogged all the way to the city.. went out for 3 hours and came back 30 mins past 12
stopped by for drinks at a bar
Best thing is.. Some of us had assignements and hw due the next day.. haha.. we never planned on jogging for so long.. bathed and went down to the dining hall at 1+am.. omg do u know how hard it is to start an assignment so late after a 2 hour run?? coffee didnt even kick in =.=
Recently celebrated Alyssa and Nathan's birthday!! surprised them at midnight with an ice-cream cake haha.. Keith u OWE ME and Nadia for 'walking' all the way to IGA to find a cake =p and also Rudy for the bags of bubble tea everyone ordered and we had to carry back because we were kind enough to accompany u.. XD
Rudy and Grace popped open their wine and whisky
HAHAHAHAHAH!!

And if you'e wondering why everything is done past midnight i dont really have an answer lol.. i just realized it myself after posting these stuff up.. probably a currie hall tradition.. we're nightowls.. stay up late at night and sleep in class the next morning =p
