白色情人节

I Wonder What Emo Is?

The sky is blue here most of the time,
But sadly today clouds have drifted in.
I look up, hoping to see heart shaped clouds,
But all I saw were broken hearts.
The people around me reflected my mood,
Being Emo was something new.
Never knew how it felt,
They seem to look gloomy like a Gloom.
The cold wind gave me a hint,
As it pass me by.
Some look for shelter by the trees,
Others look for buildings close by.
Just to keep ourselves warm,
And stay alive.
Being Emo, is like being blown by a cold wind,
But no matter how cold the wind is,
Our body reminds us we’re warm inside and out,
So that’s why being Emo is a onetime thing.
It comes and goes,
Just like the cold wind.

忘了何时离故乡，明日秋天将来临。
吾是莫纳什新生，澳洲已是第二家。
离别只是一场梦，此梦不会永久的。
你在我心留下的，我都无法忘了它。
和你的美好时光，是我困闷的解药。
但愿情人归双对，感受温馨的团聚。
鼎洋《离故思情》


十五正是元宵节，月圆带来情人节。
虽我失去了一切，但我永记那一切。
　　　　　　　 　 英圳《坚决》



冷风把花粉吹上了云朵，
我望着阴黒的夜空。
为什么初十五的月亮，
比我心，
特别圆满？
是否是我忘了对你说，
对不起？

雨水把阳光送给了花草，
我忍着心中的伤痛。
为什么你柔和的笑容，
在我心，
特别温馨？
是否是你忘了对我说，
永别了？

燕儿对南告别往北飞了，
我对着这人生道路。
为什么那短暂的时间，
让我心，
深感内疚？
是否是我想对你说，
我爱你？
　　　　恩《对你说》

Windy Day~

Today, we went to Monash University Clayton Campus to locate our classes.
As you can see from the video above, it is a very windy day... and unfortunately, Ding-En was just wearing his casual clothes... a t-shirt and a short pants... so, he must be some kind of hero today... LOL!

From my point of view, I think Autumn has made his way here... Have fun enjoying this season... ^^

Signing off,

Australia Life

Hi everyone. You will be wondering why this blog exists, right? We do not have the exact answer for that question, but we have our own reasons to open this new blog. We are all Malaysians who study in Australia for our better future. Australia may be our second home for now.

Lets take a closer look about Australia. Australia is a stable, culturally diverse and democratic society with a skilled workforce and a strong, competitive economy. With a population of more than 21 million, Australia is the only nation to govern an entire continent. It is the earth’s biggest island and the sixth-largest country in the world in land area. Australia is one of the world’s oldest landmasses and has been populated by human beings for an estimated 60 000 years. Before the arrival of European settlers, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples inhabited most areas of the continent. Australia’s contemporary history is relatively short, with the first European settlement established by Great Britain on 26 January 1788. Australia’s population includes Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and migrants from some 200 countries. In over 60 years of planned post-war migration, Australia has welcomed more than 6.5 million migrants, including more than 660 000 refugees. During this time, the population has tripled from about 7 million. Migrants have brought with them language skills and other capabilities that are valuable in today’s global economy and workforce. Although English is the official language in Australia, more than 3 million Australians speak a language other than English at home (2007). As a result, Australia offers the familiarity of a Western business culture with a workforce capable of operating in many different business environments.

That's Australia. As for us, we arrived here just a week ago, or maybe 10 days. The lifestyle in Australia is really different. We have to adjust ourselves to that when we first arrived. For example, shops close in the evening here. We can't go out to and shop just like we do in Malaysia. Moreover, there are no mamak stalls here. In Malaysia, we can go out yum cha in mamak stalls anytime, even during midnights.

Because of that, we will have our dinner at home everyday. As all of us know, a balanced diet is important for our health. Let's take a brief look of what we usually eat for our meal:

spaghetti

and of course, the carbonara sause

with some chicken drumstick as source of protein

and some fresh grapes bought from Queen Victoria market

eaten together with some broccoli

and fruit juice too.

Healthy meal, huh? xD

Australians speak differently when compared with people from other countries. The manner of speaking is an expression of identity. It signals identification with one group and rejection of another. You will find it hard to understand the Australian accent and slang in the beginning. In order to understand them better, you must listen and speak more with them.

Well, that's just a bit we know about Australia. There are still more to explore.. But studies are important too. Have a good day. =P
