2 Down, 2 To Go

Done two of my papers on the 16th November, Monday. They were Buyer Consumer Behavior, BCB and Derivatives and Securities Markets, DSM. BCB was at 9.00a.m. and it was seriously easier than I thought and hopefully, I can score in that subject. Then it was DSM at 6.30p.m. and it was tough. One thing good is unlike my previous semester papers, I have enough time to complete both the papers. Hopefully, I do not have to race against time for my both upcoming papers too.

As the DSM paper ends at 9.00p.m., I decided to stay in my friend's house and took a bus home. Now, I have to take a train to two stops before my destination and transfer to a bus because there were construction going on. Anyway, I took a direct bus home from the city around 9.35a.m. which took me around 45 minutes. And I manage to capture a spring scenery, less than 1km from my house. That's because the weather that day was around 20 degrees.

However, the weather yesterday topped at 42.6 degrees around 4.00p.m. and I was lucky enough to be in the air conditioned library. I've been traveling to the library everyday to study and escape the heatwave. I wonder why is only Adelaide caught with the heatwave? I've checked other states like Melbourne or Brisbane and it weren't as bad as here.

As mentioned in my previous post, I've went through two house inspection for rent and within a week, both the houses were not available. I wonder where should I stay next year if this continues? Anyway, I should be more worried about the upcoming exams before this matter.

4 days till exam is over and 19 days till I'm back in Malaysia.

Post number 10

With the temperature marking between 25 to 39 degrees here in Adelaide, I was perspiring from head to toe. Even Malaysia's temperature topped at 37 degrees (I think). Seriously, from my head to toe and I wonder how people survive without fan or air-cond with the current condition. Anyhow, I barely manage to pass through few days like this until yesterday night. It was like hell for me with my whole body began to perspire even after taking shower 3 times a day!!!

Lastly, I could not tolerate any longer with the heat affecting my studies by burning my brain cells. I Google up for pedestal fan around Alberton and found a shop selling them for AUD $19.98 (the cheapest) within walking distance. Decided to walk there next morning. Upon reaching there, I demand for it from a sales girl but she said that it was sold out yesterday. My morale fall tremendously and I asked the store's catalogue. Found another fan which cost AUD $29.98 but it was out of stock too. Then, I demand for the cheapest fan or mini air conditioner and she showed me a AUD$39.95. I'm not going to waste my effort walking under 30++ degrees for 15 minutes and not purchasing anything.

And I gambled my way home because I lost the paper that used to point me the way to the shop.

Here it is


Within 5 minutes, it was assembled.


Moreover, the number of insects began to outnumber humans. Upon stepping out from my house, A few flies swarming around my face and it's really annoying. Of course, my bedroom too became nest for those creatures. Caught more than 5 insects for the past week. 3 spiders included and mind you, the spiders here are 3 times the size of spiders in Malaysia.


New food for the past week. Coles Marinated chicken+ bok choy + rice.


Alright, one more hour and I'll have to travel alone to Clarence Park for my new house's inspection. Hopefully everything is fine there.

Random

Nothing special or much happened for the past week. Nevertheless, exam is drawing nearer so does going back to Malaysia. Time to buckle up my studies and might be cramming in the university's library like the past semester before exam period.

Some random moments in the past week:
Went to uni's computer lab and printed all my notes on Sunday. Surprisingly, the lab is half full and I head to the library to revise lecture 1 to 3 for ICBM (International Currency & Banking Markets). From ground floor to level5, it was full with people and decided to head back to the computer lab.

I think we just skipped one week of spring last week. The temperature marks between 20 to 27 degrees. However, its back to normal now around 12 to 21 degrees. For me, the weather now best where it's not too cold or too hot.
