orientation at tamaki campus

as promised in the previous post, i shall be nice and blog good in my next post, i.e. this post....

this morning went to city campus with caris nd assunta... got my course manual and lab coat... we wanted to buy books but bumped into lili and joanna and they said they didn't use text books at all.. li li has been there for 3 yrs, joanna has been there for 2 yrs.. so yea, decided not to get the expensive text books.. shall just borrow from library when i need them..... went to the biological science tour coz i have a bio paper in the city... then went to this cecil learning thingy... hehehe.. learnt how to log on to my webmail as well.. haha!! not bad at all.. very useful.... bump into a few ex-macleans as well.... has free sausage sizzle after that....

at 2pm, took the free bus with caris to go to tamaki campus.....

10 reasons why i like tamaki campus

1. the people there don't dress weirdly, very decent ---> think it's coz there's no "fashionable" asians there... by means of "fashionable" asians wld be that they dress till very la-la.. very jap, very korean-ish, very hongkee-ish.... u kno, a few striking colours that don't quite match.... u can start to see some in sungei wang in msia.. ouch!!!! my aunt didn't understand what la-la meant and when i showed her this shop at 1u where the clothes are very asian-ish, she said: " ohhh, junk dressing?" hahaha.. good one!!!! i dun mean to offend anyone out there.. it's just my own opinions and i have the right to say it out... sorry if i've offended u, i didn't intend to.....

2. overall, the campus is very new. looks like a resort when the bus drove in. i was just shocked! it don't even look like a uni.


3. library is way smaller therefore less likely to get lost. me and caris got sort of lost in the city library.

4. it's a very peaceful place to study. well, it has that peaceful kind of feeling. not like in the city where it's like so crowded. then again, guess it's coz not many ppl turn up for the tour. will just wait till monday and see.

5. free bus to city - tamaki. distance from my house to tamaki campus is way shorter than to city and less traffic. ----> saves petrol, that is if my brother can get a bus pass to travel from tamaki to city.

6. we have FREE PARKING for students who have classes at tamaki. haha! city don't even have free parking.. weeee!!! shame u city ppl!!

7. there's this security phone where when u pick up the phone, u will be directly linked to the security guards already.... and apparently u can get them to watch ur back when u're feeling unsafe when u're staying back at the uni late. haha! sounds a bit scary how u need security guards but hey.. it's at glenn innes... u never kno... but hehehe.. it's so cool!! cool security phone!

8. the cafeteria whatever u call it have WAY cooler tables than the one at city... it's like so stylish nd modern... super uber cool! even caris reckons' it's so cool! it's like those ermm round tables with cool looking chairs...

9. it doesn't have as much buildings as the city therefore easier to find classes... buildings are labelled with numbers... and they hv kinda like a systematic way for our class number.. 1st 3 numbers wld be the building number, then next number wld be the floor number and then later then room number... hehehe... ok, sounds complicated but it's easier when u start finding the class...

10. i'm studying there so obviously i must like it!

see! so many positives!!! hehehe.. but i'm still kinda nervous to go to uni.....*shivers*
