Laziness comes, but never wants to go.
For long it has been, a new post to be seen.
Of the chilly autumn winds to the blizzard of winter's hails,
A transition between seasons, dry to wet we feel.
Unveiled here I have,
A new blog entry.
For sleeping long it has,
In the intense spine-chilling winds.
Enough of the rubbish poetry (if you consider it as one) :P Raining at a temperature of 15.8°C as i write, Perth is entering the months of winter. To talk a bit about the weather here, it is relatively dry and hot in summer but wet and cold in winter. I love the cool days during winters but there are much more things that i dislike in the midst of this season. First, as it rains non stop at such a low temperature, i would have to put on more layers of clothing = more laundry. As it rains and rains and rains non-stop, it is hard to find a day to do my laundry without quarreling with the others over who to wash and where to dry.
Next, my house is somehow uninsulated and cant trap heat. Nice in summer but freezing in winter. Turning on the gas heater will take years to heat the house while using an electrical heater will cost lotsa $$$, not to mention that we (4 of us) pay $1600 a month but we only get $100 of allowance of electricty for 2 months?? The real estate is really making money out of us poor students.
As for the past one month, nothing much interesting has happened here in the land of boredom. However there are a few "highlights" to be mentioned. First is going for a movie in Perth. The size of each cinema is gigantic, about 2 times the largest cinema in GSC. Tickets cost about $11.50, enough to watch 6 movies back in malaysia with a student card. But, they have cheap fares on Tuesdays, $6.50 tho it used to be $5.00. Here, we are free seated so if you want good seats it ïs something like the first come first serve basis. Another drawback to doing this - the Ads are super long... about 25 minutes from the start of screening time. And again the gila ang mohs with super crazy appetites who are always obviously obese yet not wanting to admit have super crazy large sizes of popcorn and soft drinks. The price for one large combo (the smallest) is a shocking $10. The size of one box or packet or watever you call it has a dimension of 15*8*6 inches. I presume the volume of soft drinks is about 1.25 L. I'll leave the size of the JUMBO combo for you to ponder. :P Oh btw, just forgot to mention that i went to watch SW3:RotS which really rots and the $6.50 i paid was not really worth it.
Next on, the school ball. Wasnt too bad an event but to me it was a little boring besides the sightings of animals from the African Safari, i.e. elephants :P It is a wonder that these animals or creatures or whatever they are found and made their way to the ball which was located next to the sea. Clad in ultra revealing and weird looking dresses they tried hard to expose their "body parts" but all i saw was a pair of beefy, exotic elephant thighs, which was my laugh for the night. It was too bad the school did not have a prize for the best dressed elephant tho i doubt they would win if they participated.
Last of all is the musical play i attended 2 days ago. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, another masterpiece by Andrew Llyod Webber which i have long heard of but havent had the chance to see it. It wasnt that bad considering the price i paid for, which is just $29.50, much much cheaper than in London, paying a whopping £49 for one play. The actors arent really professionals and they dont possess voices powerful ennough. But then it was still ok. Btw the orchestra's size was real small and the size of the theatre is about half the size in UK. Anyway... its not that bad that there's still a little entertainment which amuses me here, so i need not sit in front of the computer going online 24/7 like and idiot.
To wrap up things, i have an exam coming up soon in about 2 weeks time and my holidays will be after that. Yet, i am still here blogging and of late i got addicted with ROSE... My next entry will come dunno when but it will be about the seas surrounding me :P
Time to start studying and to stop thinking of what i am to do during the holidays......
