ENGLISH AFTER EXAMS?!MOOD: okay la ^__^MUSIC: United Jazzy - the First NightWent out to dinner yesterday to celebrate brother's birthday. Turning 14 tomorrow, so we decided to celebrate on the weekend instead since tomorrow's school. Wow man, the place we went to,
Ribs and Rumps, is like, char grill meat restaurant franchise from America. It was recommended by a friend cause they said the food was REALLY good and the servings were HUGE.
I should have listened to him.The price was super super expensive, but
OMGAWD THE SERVINGS WERE HUMUNGOUS. For $35, get half a char grill chicken, 1 rack of pork ribs, potatoes, vegies, sour cream etc etc. HALF A CHICKEN is ALOT maaan. After the meal, entire family just looked at each other and were like
"yeah..we're skipping breakfast tomorrow". Haha omg, I'm definitely going back there again. Food so nice, but sooo much food. Have to make sure to starve myself throughout the day so I can stuff all that chicken down T_T

Today there was University of Western Sydney (UWS) Open Day to see the campus and get information on the courses there.
The medicine course looks really good!! =O But one thing I always complain about UWS is the distance. SO FAR away from my house, it'd take me AGES to get there. Wake up 6am just to get to campus at 8am for morning lecture. But their course structure really interesting:
WEEKLY STRUCTURE- problem based learning (PBL): They give you a problem / scenario on Monday and you get in a group, analyse it and find the best way to solve the issue and present to everyone on Friday. This is done EVERY week.- one half day clinical work at local hospital. This turns more specialised in 4th year where you go to specialist hospitals (children's hospital, gynacology, psychology etc etc)- 3-4 lectures a week: This is your standard lectureI really wouldn't mind going there, but it's the location that really turns me off. I'd rather go UNSW medicine course, cause the place is
so much cooler.
Saw Nathan and Jessie at the uni. They were both getting some special awards for being like..the most outstanding students in the entirety of Western Sydney (THATS CRAZY!! They pick like, 2-3 students out of the 20,000 - 30,000 students each year). ZOMG
congrats!!And man, school is ridiculous. Got English speech due tomorrow addressing module C. Like, what school sets an assignment due the first day AFTER the worst exams of our lives T__T So unfair..ahh well

LEE CHONG WEI!! JIYAOUUU
- SOO much drama in today's gymnastics events. Like, 3 people fell on the floor routine, instantly ruling them out of the gold medal. Furthermore, 2/3 of them were HUGE FAVOURITES for the gold. Then after that, the women's vault. China's CHENG Fei,
huge favourite to win, fell on her second vault T__T Avg score: 15.562. Giving her the bronze medal. Considering her first attempt was a
16.075, which completely topped EVERYONE, if she'd hit an average 15.6/15.7 on her second she'd have been guaranteed gold =( Ohh well...
