So what happened in Adelaide??

Not much, was only there for 2 days. Took a 630 am flight therefore most of us had a maximum of an hour sleep the night before, hence the first day in Adelaide was all about sleeping, sleeping and more sleeping. Especially chia ee’s good friend, denise. haha!

As most of you guys know, we were there for the Medicine and Dentistry Interviews for University of Adelaide! woot!! Victor, Joseph, Chia Ee, Shu Ann, Denise and I flew down together, meeting Hassan, Majid and Nawaf at the airport.

Day ONE

In the 2 days, I took the cab more times than I’ve taken taxis in my entire life! Seriously, it’s not easy to take buses in a place where you know nuts about directions and stuff. We learnt that the hard way though. 5 people with “awesome” sense of direction taking shortcuts through parks without maps in a whole new city!! In other words, we got lost! haha..

Made the most out of it though, taking pictures and stuff. haha..As you can see from all the smiley faces, we didn’t realise we were going to get lost yet at this point.

So yeah, after a walk through the park, thinking that we’ll exit on the street where our hotel was on, we found ourselves in a totally different place.

Victor looking for directions, Denise thinking, chia ee emo-ing, Shu Ann stoning, Joseph sleeping?

It was crazy hot that day but we found our way back to the hotel eventually. Was dead tired and most of us crashed for the next 3 hours before dinner. They say food in Adelaide is cheap, which is probably true, if you know where to go. We ate at some chinese restaurant and ordered dishes and stuff, its more fun that way. haha! Ended up paying just the same as Melb..

Mapo tofu, if Jalene was there she would be going crazy. haha! It was good..

This is by far the most decent picture of them. Victor tends to do like super gay stuff with Joseph when taking pictures. Then again, I do have a collection of him camwhoring with chia ee, loh chia ching style, gosh these two guys must never meet!!

So yeah, that was pretty much day one down. We all went back to the hotel after that to make some last minute preparations for the interview the next day. Ohyea, we bought breakfast for the next day too, stuff like sandwhiches and chocolate milk. Victor went for redbull. Like wth, who has redbull for breakfast!? Crazy! haha..

Day TWO

The interview was not very scary. Casual stuff, talking a lot on personal qualities and so on. I seriously need to work on selling myself better. haha! Met many other Taylors people there too. So before flying back, Shu Ann wanted to eat cake. Random. haha!

Took a cab back to Adelaide Central Plaza and found a cafe there called The Coffee Club.

The girls.

Denise is actually Chia Ee’s friend visiting from Malaysia. So she wasn’t there for the interview actually. So nice lar! *hint hint*.. haha! Shu Ann is from Trinity, so yeah, pretty productive trip, got to know 2 new people.

Yeah, Victor, grass is always greener on the other side eh? EAT YOUR OWN CAKE!!

I got the mixed berry cheesecake. Reminds me of my moms blueberry cheesecake!!

It was not bad. The jelly part on top wasn’t that nice though. The one my mom makes is nicer!!

Chia Ee took this photo, didn’t realise that I look so not sexy when eating. haha! Was wearing glasses that day cuz I wanted to look more studious for the interview. haha..

SO yeah, that’s basically the Adelaide trip, didn’t stay back to visit the tourism spots there. Just flew back straight to the better city, MELBOURNE! Seriously, Joseph missed Melbourne when he’s in Adelaide more than he misses Malaysia when he’s in Melb!
