yea it has been a while since I have blogged. It has been so busy and there has not been any real chance to get on the net long enough to blog.
Last week a lot of the free time I had was spent playing badminton and table-tennis... Yea..believe it or not I have played more sport here than in Australia. Geez...and they say Australia's culture IS sports. The bad thing about playing badminton or table tennis, well... after all that good work... we always...and I mean ALWAYS go to maccas after it! I kid you not, we have been to maccas so often I swear the people there know us. They probably know me and megan as the idiots who cannot speak mandarin. LOL but hey... maccas is good for take when your hungry.
Last Friday we went to see the 6 harmonies pagoda and the Linyin temple. It was a good day out as it was relatively quick ( 8am and then home by 1pm). The 6 Harmonies pagoda was pretty neat, as there is a cool legend behind it. I personally preferred the Linyin temple. It was quite beautiful. It was a place with many buddhist temples. The architecture and the natural surroundings was really really something.
Afterwards we just chilled out for a bit. That night we all went out to a a friend's place for drinks and then club called Coco's. It was pretty alright. quite small compared to SOS but yea. fun. We also bumped into some of our classmates there. They were given VIP treatment! It is because they are caucasian, they said that they were approached on the uni campus by the club managers and djs who then gave them VIP membership and stuff.
There is a downside though. At coco's our classmates were being friendly to the Djs in order to get more free stuff. But, then the Djs started talking to these guys... and apparently the Dj had "sold" them to the guys. Our classmates saw them shake hands and heard them say something like "I'll calm them down." So they left the club straight away after that. Scary stuff aye. I guess they were not careful. I say they were pretty lucky. But yea, they went clubbing by themselves and not in a group.
The next day, we went to a student talent show where our friends Willy and Andrew were performing. It was pretty cool, though I was pretty buggered so I napped in some parts of the show. We had a weird night that night. Jemes, Quentin, Megan and I had some pre drinks at the dorms. We wanted to go to a club that Jemes really likes but it was not open yet. So someome suggested to G- plus (another club). We were like "eh why not." We didnt stay there too long, but it seemed ok. It was a weird night because it was pretty random. Just the 4 of us out, Quentin got his mobile stolen... people were lost momentarily. Auuuugh... *CHINNNAA!*
Last night megan and I got our haircut...errrr.... yeaaaa.....good treatment...like it felt good...but yea...errrr....i prob wont do it again. lol
Anywho...thats what has gone down up to date. Photos...well ill try and upload them as soon as possible. =)
