Five days of orentation over!!

Oh my...five days of orientation just finish like that...so fast!!
On Thursday we had city tour we went to China town, Victoria market ...etc...i forgot liaw..hahaha...

the highlight of the trip is going to the Eureka skydeck.
Skydeck 88 is the highest public vantage point in the Southern Hemisphere. Eureke tower is the world's tallest residential building, it is 984.3ft / 300 metres in height.
The lifts travel more than 9 metres per second making them the fastest in the Southern Hemisphere( also makes your ears hurt in it).
it has got 3,680 stairs , 92 storeys, 52,000 sq meters of windows.
The glass on Eureka's top 10 levels is 24 carat gold plated. Building the tower used up 110,000 tonnes of concrete and weighs 200,00 tonnes.
It also has the world's 1st "edge" experience. The "edge" experience is where you go in a cube box which is made out of glass...and when u go in it will be filled up with mist...and when the cube moves out the building the mist will suddenly all be gone leaving you standing on air..hanging above...88 stores away from the ground..thrilling!!!
That's one of the train station that i take everyday to school....this photo is taken form the skydeck..


Look at the cars...so tiny....


Meet a Malaysian guy that day called Yuan. He is the very first Malaysian i spoke to in my school....surprisingly so little Malaysians here a...o mayb i just din get to meet them..

Well the point is he is not only Malaysian but he also lives in the city!!! So that means i found someone doing the same course as i am(i think), going to the same school, is also a Malaysian and most important of all he lives in the city!! Hahaha...i don't have to go home alone liaw..muahahah...but la only one month lo..he is moving to somewhere near the campus by the end of next month..sian..
