Adelaide, Australia ;D

Monday, 8 December , 2008.

So, right now as at this moment I'm celebrating Hari Raya Haji in Australia! ;D The weather's great and so are the people. By the way, it's supposed to be summer time but the weather's like really cold. The most obvious difference between the people in Singapore and Australia is that each and every individual that you meet in Australia will say something like," Hey, how ya doing ?" , "How's everything there" and so on. They're a friendly bunch of people you would wanna be with. And i must mention the fact that if i were to study in Australia right now, in just 3 months i could drive a car!


And i don't know how to summarise the stuffs i did for the past few days. Okay, I've tried out surfing before and it's fun! Big waves and freaking cold water (almost had something like frostbite).
-Had a party organised by my aunt and also a camp-out

-Went to try the 2nd best fish n chips in S.A.
-Went crabbing(for those who don't know, it means fishing for well, crabs?) at Hendley beach. And i got to see a shooting star and a Moon-set for the first time !

+Studying here!
And so on and so forth. Manage to visit my cousin's school and stuffs and see what they usually do. Also went to my Aunt's University too. And one thing, The education system here is different to that in Singapore in terms of that here, you have no exams till you're going to JC/University. Which means that every year you get to promote without fail.

+The Jobs System !
In Singapore, A normal job in McDonald's or something will pay like $3.50/hr or something. But here, it's different. A job like that will pay like 15 Australian dollars/hr (just to work at Mcdonalds!?) If you calculate that and work like for example 5hrs a day and 5 times a week-->

Salary Per Week: 5(5) x $15= $375 (or more)

Got to go now. Gonna post again later on! (:
