A day with Elton to RMIT Open Day

09/08/09
Today, its Sunday, and it is also a RMIT Open Day(Public event day)! Together with Elton and his two friends headed to the city to attend a seminar. That's covered about everything! The first seminar at building 56~ and when we reached there... Aiyarh, the room looked like sauna, because the heat trapped inside the room and there's many people~ way too much until many people needed to stand aside. Some even sat on floor, including me! They were talking about various courses, which is about 700 courses provided in RMIT.
Then about 11.15pm, ... we checked the timetable given, which is about the events venues happening in all RMIT's buildings. Lol, some roads were closed in the city due to the public event.
(Sigh*)
Dad wanted me to do a 'Surveying' course... and I also looked up and there's display and information about it in building 12~ Arr, need to learn Geography and Mathematics, Drawing stuffs ! Sob, sob and sob* !
And I got thought of having a double degrees, but, fulfilling Dad's wish and my own, I might taking 3-4 degrees~.~No money la... Dunno arh, hopefully my subjects are related and helped me in the future. Duh, choosing IT... So many darn courses are related to, but it is divided~ focus on this and that! I still couldn't 100% certain which I wanted to study! All seemed got interest, and somehow related to what I wanted~ Later that, we went to the next destination.
We went to a lecturer hall, taking about NanoTech which Elton is interested about~ Before that, we two looked like an idiot, taking photo in a toilet~ because it looked big!

Haha, we two looked like never been to toilet before ~_~"

Then, went into a hall and sitting patient hearing the lecture! You know what nano means yeah? (Find dictionary :P) It talked about small, micro, mini stuff~ Combining physics, chemical and biology? According to Elton...
Ah, in the hall~ I almost fell asleep because of its comfortable, soft-cool air and the gloomy room... And I don't interest about Bio, Chem stuffs~ Later that, about 1.00pm. We had a lunch at Old Town! A small restaurant I always went to. This time I tried...

Rice with Vegetables and Fish Fillets~($8.50)


Meanwhile Elton tried Combination Rice~ ($8.80)


(Paiseh mine de looked not pretty, I ate some of it actually XP)
The food, not bad! Edible ah~ Si fu 厨艺真不是盖的~ ! Next time I would taste the other dishes ^.^~ (Lol, stomach suddenly felt so hungry [>_>] )
On the way out from the restaurant, we saw an artist... (a pro artist? Dunnoe...) drawing on the Floor ! I thought she was drawing the 3D arts, which I saw in my mail, but unfortunately just a normal drawing lol~

Later that, we headed to another buildings, looking and enjoying the events meanwhile seeing the other courses~ Ah, walking everywhere in the city, which is also a RMIT territory, we could see staff, and other workers of RMIT promoting and introducing RMIT ! What a $ earning for the U !

People, people, and people! 真是人山人海啊~ (Persons that wearing the Orange jacket are RMIT staff/promoter/worker)




(Like our SAS, promoting various fields and courses)


In a Displaying Room! Freakin' huge, and somehow High Tech~~
(At least better than Malaysia facilities >_> )


(Pretty isn't it? for 'decoration' =D, got many colour leh! Rainbow haha~~ )




Then later that, we were looking for a Shakkat... Err, I mean straw hat XD~ (Elton and I played RO too much during 'young' :D ~ ) Ah, we took quite a long time looking for it! Because it looked cool lol... we searched high and low, asking anyone =_=" about the straw hat. Even a staff member~ Funny, even she wanted that straw hat too! She gave us some information and we knew that was the Vietnamese students were giving out the hand-made straw hats ! Ah, we advanced quickly before it was out of stock~~
Surprisingly!
We were stopped by a male teenager, also a promoter. He said something about , bla bla bla... and finally he asked us...

Male: Are you two from Malaysia?

We: Yes, how do you know?

Male: By judging your looks. I came from Malaysia too! Which state is it?

We: Err, Sarawak?

Male : Know to speak Foochow?

(Speaking Foochow)
We: (Shocked) Ah! You know to speak it! Where you came from?

Male: From Sibu! How about you? Kuching? Miri?

We: From Sarikei!

(Haha, might be somehow different conversation from Elton's blog~ Only manage to remember some during the conversation :O)

Then having some conservations~~ Both of us felt so rare that met a Malaysian mate, and yet speaking Foochow ! and from Sibu !
Then we asked him about the straw hat, and Vietnamese students.
He said he just see the group students passed by a valley and we quicky chased on and say goodbye to him~

At last, after tired of searching, we finally found them... BUT unfortunately ... (You know lah) Elton wanted to have it desperately and asked them whether they had extra stock or what. They said, "You could get it tomorrow morning at 8.00am".
"Really?" We asked.
"Ya, but in the next year..." LOL, this guy did had sense of humours!
No choice and had to give up~ but still, eager to have it =( . Then we decided to go back. Before that, we went to China Town and I bought two bread, cost me $3.60 =.=~ still expensive ho! Don't say me Lokek@@
Then, while waiting for our train at Melbourne Central, we saw a student holding a Shakkat(straw hat). Ah, still wanted to have one!
(After few minutes, the train came and we reached at Broadmeadow station at 4.07pm...)
Once we stepped out from the train, the freezing strong wind blew fiercely and we felt the its might! "so cold!" Even I said a "COLD" word! omg... imaging how cold is it LOL~~~~ then, we got home about 5.00pm ba~

This is a day with my cousin in the city :) ~
