the orange ~ not weekly

so sorry for the lack of post. i am now still currently trying to grow roots into the ground and also blending into the people here.
.
intro~
overall, adelaide is student friendly place. i have already met up people as close as a sabahan, a few penangait to as far as an iranian couple, korean guy, indian people, hongkies, europeans to people from US. its kinda wonderful blend especially when everyone is under the same umbrella, international students. I still remember the time when i was known as Out Station Students... now i am Overseas student. macam naik pangkat.. hahaha.. well, like last time, more effort is being place by the uni to ensure all oversea students(OS) are well adapted. and by well adapted, they made us me to walk 30 minutes for the past 3 days to another campus for a special OS orientation program.

~transporting self~
Walking is a way of life here. everyone walks. hot or cold everyone walks to one place to another. the better ones will cycle. and of course there are skateboarders too. busses here are very systematic which i have got get use to. in malaysia, all i have to do is to just go to the bus stop and board anyone of them. while here, i have to read the time table, the bus number, and also think which bus route to take. kinda complicated especially when their time tables are so small printed at bus stops. there is also free buses available call the 'connectors'. BUT this buses are not really punctual. overall, all bus drivers here will greet you when u board the bus with a simple 'hi/hello' or ' how r ya(yeah)?'

~my humble house
i am living in a 2 bedroom, kitchen, living hall, and an un-used fireplace house. kinda small and cozy comparing to the double story semi-detach house in KK. anyhow, people here are friendly and warm. no.. no home sick yet. Uni is just a 15 walk away from my house. on the way to uni, i will walk pass adelaide's zoo, a river, botanical gardens, a medical school, a dental hospital and Uni of Adelaide. and is about 20 minutes walk to the city of adelaide. so, location wise, its a very convenient place for me. =)

~fellow homo sapiens
wow... i am really impress by the australians here. super friendly. forget about so call friendly people in malaysia. oh wait.. i am a malaysian... anyway.. locals here are very friendly and its kinda shocking to see that they might just penetrate your space bubble(not personal space yet) in just no time. talk about feeling a warm welcome. haha.. people here likes to smile and ask 'how r ya" and also use 'no worries' instead of 'you are welcome' takes some time to adapt to all this things.. but then, for the past week, i have not met any mean people yet. hehehe
.
~ i, me, and myself
well, back to student life again. cook, laundry, clean up, messy room, messy table... bla bla bla... life here is so far great. just that there are a few things to get use to which are drinking directly from the tap. yes.. we don't have to boil water here... so basically, we can get drinking water in the toilets.... but water here taste a little salty. so.. instant 100 plus anyone?? cool huh?? hahaha.. other than that, i have been hearing perfect english everywhere i go. not to hard to adapt to that since i am an english speaker myself... just that i am polluted with manglish, singlish, englay(english + malay), cantoerine (cantonese + mandarine), mandaka(mandarine + hakka) and erm... too much to list.... and many more.. kinda miss those bah n lah n stuff like that. and I HAVE TO CUT DOWN ON USAGE OF THOSE TOO =)
.
official Uni orientation will start next week where i will meet all my other course mates in the podiatry couse. i am looking forward to be one of the 2 OS that are enrol into that couse.. *winks*
