Interesting Test day in Adelaide on 19May2007

2007-05-19T19:29:00.000-07:00

It is the first time thatＩtook the Ielts test in Adelaide, so I was nervous. Before I took the exam Jackie told me that the examination hall was not as good as Taiwan so I should pay more attention to listen while testing.
Actually, the situation was okay but there were three stupid guys sitting next to me. Two guys who sitting on my left and right sides keened on trembling their feet. In case of the ground was made of wood so the rumble extremly loudly. Almost all the test time, I could hear the sounds and pat the rhythm like rock and roll. Furtunately, both of them did not make sounds during listening section, conversely Reading and Writing sections I could feel obviously what they were thinking because the rhythm of rumble was quicker and quicker while end of test time. But the most interesting guy who was sitting behind me stretched himself and put his head over my desk. So in the main time, I only had a half desk to do my test. Such a strange test experience!

After the test, I did not feel angry with them just feel funny! Last night, my roomates and I went to play billiard and drink beers to celebrate finishing the test. Great day!

As for my result, I do not have much confidence to achieve my score. Well~ I do my best, so the kindly examiner please...please....please...(sincerely) give me good scores.(Please...Please...P..p.) hahaha~it is my wish!

A perfect day

2007-05-16T19:48:00.000-07:00

When I woke up in a fantasitc hotel where had all kinds facilities in my room. A fabulous view from my windows, big vision facilities, fitness trainer and ect, but the most important thing was a delious meal already prepared on the desk. I went to swim during the beautiful sunlight in my personal swimming pool. Then I saw a latest film duing a luxurious bath. After the bath, my best friends just arrived and we enjoyed a great meal in my fantastic room.
Then we decided to go shopping and made hair designs, so I called my airplan to catch us later. As we dressed up, the plane already arrived and took us to my favourite department stores. We spent all afternoon shopping and then we had a great dinner.
By the time, we meet our friends at the same restaurant too.
That was a perfect day.

But realistic is.....cruel.......

Nice chocolate cake & potato salad

2007-05-05T21:28:00.000-07:00

The weather is not too cold and too hot today. So I went to Arndle shopping mall to buy some food and cookies for next week. See the following pictures are my deserts. I bought one potato salad and one roll chocolate cake, they were delicious. It is my first time to try the salad in Adelaide, it tasted greater than I thought. So I would like to buy the different tastes next time.

Otherwise, i also buy many cookies because i finished all of them last night. ya~happy day!

Actually, I have no ideas why i became loving cookies like that. When I was living in Taiwan,Ｉeven didn`t touch cookies at all and it was also surprised my mom. Recently, she always told me away from the unhealthy and buy more nutritional food to eat or I will become weaker and get sick easily. However, it is so difficult to me.......hush..don`t tell my mother or she will worry about me.

For my next week, i will cook Chicken with Curry and Cheese dumplings. Sometimes cooking makes me feel agonizingly, in case of i have to finish each meal for several days. Maybe it is because i have so many cookies then I just have a little bit food and feel full. But no matter how full i feel, I also can eat cookies after the dishes. MＭM~just call me"Cookie Monster"

LUNCH~WITH YURI IN RANDLE MALL

2007-05-04T21:52:00.000-07:00

Yesterday~yuri and i had a great meal in a Japanese food restaurant in Randle Mall! As for me,that was a really good restaurant and the dishes were tasty. See the picture, did it look great?

I loved to have meal with friend and chating. In case of we came from different countries and we had different cultures, and that was very interesting to know the differences between us. Yuri told me that they don`t like to use spoon when having soups and thier meals would divide into small dishes in Japan. InＴaiwan,when I saw the JapaneseＴＶprograms and we would find that Japanese didn`t eat too many food and they just try a little bit with their meals. It was suprised me, How could they fell full!Maybe it was the reason why the majority Japanese stayed in shape.

After the meal,we had a look near the city.

It was a good day!

Living in Adelaide

2007-05-02T19:42:00.000-07:00

Adelaide is a fairly beautiful and quiet city in South Australia. As for me, I will stay here for next two years and study the master degree. I already stayed in Adelaide for one month and I still don`t get used to the living here. Everyday I have to make all the meals and house chores by myself, and those really cause me a lot of time. However, I need to learn more independent and responsible for my living in Adelaide and take good care of myself.

After I came here, I found a big problem for me was the weather. How stanger the weather is in Adelaide! The temperature is over 35C in the noon and less than 12C in the morning and night, I even no ideas to decide what I should wear everyday. Otherwise, I also worry about to be sun tanned under such strong sunlight.

I think it is a quite new life for me. In fact, I love changing and challenging living.
