Princes bRidge-Melbourne

Its been two weeks since my last paper overed...Im NOw having my FIRST semester break, SUmmer Holidays AT AUssie, Adelaide!!! as i know, the weather during this season is very different to northern hemisphere patterns, Adelaide is generally a dry place, so summer can get very very hot...most students wil be back to home city, but me this poor gal, will stay over here for the coming months...however, im not afraid!i will fight for it! worst come to worst, i will stay in the uni library for the daytime...

Btw, i just came back from Melbourne trip. Made some researches from the net, din really plan this trip like a pro...was just thinking of going have some fun before i really find a partime job. Doing research and planning the holiday was as fun as actually goin on one. But had nightmares of doing the booking and reservation and planning the arriving days and stuff..but still, we managed to get over them within 3 days..Oh ya, i din let my parents know bout this trip, becuz it was too sudden...so Those who reading this, shod know wat to do ya...hehe..

What we did most was, grabbed all sorts of brochures whenever we landed..and made list of places that i wanted to go..Thanks to Yi Perng too...he helped alot..though not very close with him, but he kindly helping me to do some researches, and even be our tour guide...bringing us around.

Dinning at Cafe Italia at the University Street

i found that travelling in aus is much easier and comfortable than Msia...Public transportation can easily be taken, ther are lots info guide center here, people are friendly and nice not like our Msian..apa pun tak tau..and not as gentle as the Aus-ians. but to compare the ppl in Melb city, i would prefer ppl in Adelaide. Those ppl in Melb are bit like KL-ians, not s frenly and helpful as Adelaide..maybe its a big city and its a more materialistic place..i guess its too competitive

A chinese noodle shop for lunch...big bowl ya? even adelaide, they serve that big portion at Adelaide too. or shod i say, the local is big eater, tats y they must serve big portion.xD...

Docklands, a business area, located near the Melb' CBD

Melbourne Library

What to visit there? Emm...Melb has always recognised as Aus's shopping and fashion capital, and its true..there are lots to shop there just inside the city, not including those outskirt's factory outlets... Lots of branded stuff here...but ya, 1 to 3 currency, no matter how cheap it is, Msia is stil cheaper...However, it would be nice if u can grab some clothes here, as the fashion is kinda diff frm Msia..here No La La or Si Ham..i prefer those clothing styles in Aus.. I went to the Elizabeth Street which is one way traim down from Yi Perng's house..here can get the Melbourne Central- the famous shopping complex...(oh ya, in the adelaide city, we cant get a single shopping mall, there is just a street called rundle street/rundle mall..that all for shopping)..then the Collins Street, nothing much for us..as the Collins Street sells those international fashions clothings and stuffs..which is very very costly.. then nearby ther are the linked Myer and David Jones (bit like the Parkson or Isetan).. not suitable for me also...then here come the most famous street, Bourke St, bit like Rundle St, but its much much crowded..

inside the Melb central.can get all those branded stuff here

Melbourne central= shopping complex+railway station.

Docklands waterways for the boat from Melb city and Port Philip Bay. have all the cruises..nice view.

behind me is the Telstra Dome, the media center also a sport stadium.We din get to explore inside as we missed out the tour time..therefore, just a few photoshoot.

Southbank is the southern bank of the Yarra river, cross the Princes Bridge from the Flinters street will link us to entertainment precints... but mostly are the upmarket..too expensive for us..

it main focus is the outdoor eating..like those outdoor cafe and restaurants.

Yarra river, behind, mean jus across the river is the Southgate, south Melb

the Ferris Wheel at the back is just a scenery spot..guess its not a ride. located at the Yarra river bank.

flinders railway station

We went to St Kilda beach, is the most famous beach at Melbourne, almost like the Glenelg Beach in Adelaide, but with more shops and cafe. I had my first swim in the sea..even tried on bikini..wahha..but with pants..not that Piece..

sunset at the St Kilda beach, was a cooling nite

St Kilda traim stop

lastly...CHrisMas Coming Very SOoN...Merry Xmas everyone!

5:40 AM

Recently been waking up quite early eventhough not sleeping early before the nite.. Maybe keeping too much pressure. once get tensed, would easily get insomnia..worry for my final, not well prepared.. However, as compared to exam in Help, i believe that i ve paid full attention on what im studying now..Instead of reading, i m learning and understanding..its just the matter of time, lack of time to fully prepare myself. As in the past, was just studying to get through the subject, or called it, studying blindly...haha...paiseh..cant really recall what i have studied in the past..lol..

Research method is the subject i hate the most..currently taking it as the third year paper---> Research method 2...it always come with lots problematic and headaches for me..indeed, its the easiest subject to score, as it is a factual based, just like statistics, its either right or wrong..all the proper writting and calculation are given..if u manage to understand what is it about, then shodn be a problem for exam..HoWever, the weakest part of me is Understanding....especially those Calculation JarGOn..what F score la, variance, z-score, Cronbach's alpha......testing the reliabilty and validity....what factor analysis...correlation..regression...ALL MY GOD!! to be honest, for the past 13 weeks of lectures and practicals, i ve been dreaming in class...or mite just doing my own reading on someting else.. just to valued my time...at least not wasting my time by Exposing myself to the F=?, p,? ,

r(X)+345=!?!?.......

counseling and psychotherapy is my keen subject...and also among the assignments, i scored best on this..hehe..eventhough its bout understanding, but its kind of diff Understanding... u get to understand about theories and these theories were focusing on human's behavior, personality, perception...It is interesting! Don't you want to know about yourself, why u were born in this world, and ever wonder why You are behaving this way? when you are depressed or Hyperactive, have you ever wonder what are the factors and causations? Nah...from Counseling , Cognitive Psychology, Biological Psychology, you get to know them from different perspectives.. Cognitive psychology has too much of term n jargon to memorize...Therefore, not very keen on it...Biological...too much of Physical charateristics and Brain to study about...So sometimes can be quite boring..Counseling will be the best of all..given with diff theories and therapies, ppl get Help and Cured by different psychotherapies.. HOwwver, again, couseling isnt like what u think, is not like a Doctor and Patient relationship, it shod be explain more like a Parent and a Child, or Frendship, the therapist/counselor and Client relationship is there... when they get to know each better, they can work better too..Counselor is jus like a friend of u, maybe a more understanding and good listner..But a counselor will never tell u what to do, tel u whats right or wrong...he wants you to find out ur own identity and work on it.....Blah.. Blah.. here i m .. bout my teaching again...haha... ok, better cut of the crap, before getting u bored..

its 850am now, got to wash up and GO for my another day..RESEARCH METHOD! Ciaoz~~
