So Domestic -___-

The rest of O-week was fun. Involving Trivia, Speed-dating, AMA drinks and to finish it all off...Kareoke at a gaybar. CUBE, the one and only gaybar in Canberra lol. After an eventful week, I needed some me time to clear my head and get into the study zone, seeing as lectures had indeed started. Nothing too intense at the moment, just alot of introductions to biomedicine subjects, like cell bio, immuno, micro etc. etc. etc. On Saturday morning I had a nice free pancake breakfast held in the Davey lodge common room. It was nice to have freeeee food...oh...and meeting new people of course. Met some nice people who invited me to a little bible study that night at a house out in the suburbs. The night was pretty good and I met some more nice people (free dinner by the lovely Korean couple who owned the house at which the study was taking place). Next morning I went back to the house to do a little bit of church which was nice. Guess what they had there...a piano and a guitar. My fingers were so itchy by the end of the service...I was like...'umm...can I play the guitar...and....the piano' lol. Went back to Justin for the afternoon but as I was trying to get back to some study I could hear all these noises outside. Turns out there was a dragon dance happening on the street to celebrate Chinese New Year. I quickly grabbed the closest person nearby, Jeff, who from now will be known as 'the bro', and we ran down to see the festivities. Alas, what a lonely dragon! Just the one dragon/lion by its lonesome doing the usual prancing around to the beat of the drum. I loved the loud drums though, it brought back memories of asia :D It really did feeeel like New Years!!! But there was an appalling LACK of asians.

Sunday night I went out for dinner in Civic aka. Canberra city, but its still too small to be called a city so they call it Civic here, with some other med kids. It was a really really lovely dinner with everyone to celebrate New Years and Valentines day. I had a really great time and the food was good too. I'm realizing that any night that I don't have to cook is a good night lol. but then again I rather enjoying cooking. Last night I made combination fried Hokkien noodles, which I asked 'the bro' to be my guinea pig and test for me. Turns out it was a success! Thankfully both of us didn't get sick after eating it. Today, lectures don't start till 2 so I have some time to do stuff. Went out for my very first morning run (lets see how long this lasts), vaccummed some more and went to a floor meeting at the lodge to meet some of the other residents. Good morning, but sounds like I've been slacking off way too much already, really should revise those intros hahaha.
