Ok. Orientation's still going on.

Monday and Tuesday: full of absolutely boring and unimportant lectures.

Wednesday! Things start to get interesting. Trinity had a field trip to Sovereign Hill for students in Groups 1-12. I'm in Group 1 btw.

The trip was actually quite boring, but it was better than the other days.

Sovereign Hill is a place where gold was mined during the Gold Rush about a hundred years ago. G-O-L-D. The whole place was about gold. Flithy, shiny, irresistable gold.

We were allowed to mine gold in a little river, but we soon found out that we could only mine gold specks out of the river. lol. So there's no point for us to continue mining.

Oh, we also saw them melt gold. They moulded $151,000 worth of molten gold into the shape of a 3kg bar. Oolala~


Neways, here are the pictures:





I was in Group 1, but I kinda got lost and separated from Group 1. So I secretly joined Group 4 instead. Just for the day. Haha



They made us put on clothes from the 1800s. I got picked because I could answer the guy's questions on corsets. LOL



Bloody shit. My face looks like a gorilla. -.-





Mining gold

Molten GOLD. coolness







The dude actually let the little girl hold the $151,000 gold bar. o.O



the Albert House peeps: Wee Lee, Guo Liang, Matthew, Yann Kang


On Thursday, we had a little Amazing Race competition around campus in the morning. I was in Team 6 with Yann Kang, Matthew, Wee Lee and Top. We scored 878 points. Haha, we didn't win but were among the top few teams. Woohoo!



Task 15: Take a picture of your team with the sundial. lol (Wee Lee, Matthew, Yann Kang, Top, Poser Sean)

We had a drama orientation game thingy in the evening. It was quite OK I guess.

Friday! Totally awesome. we had our Big Noise workshop and performance, which were awesome and fun. Imagine loud african drums, a professional drum team, professional Capoeira people, a professional DJ and 400+ clapping, shouting, jumping students. BRILLIANT.

Haha I will update more about Big Noise when (or if) I get the pictures from Top. Haha

Cheers!

P.S: Happy Belated Birthday Chay Ann! I'm not sure whether you got my SMS or not, but I hoped you had a great day. Haha
