Day 11 (25th February 2008)


This is my first schooling day in Perth campus. It was actually a both excited and yet nervous day. I had been dreaming to study in an international campus and now my dreams finally come true. It was indeed a very different experience, challenging but fruitful.

I reached the campus early morning despite that the first class only start at 1400. It always feel good to be at campus early, I had been doing this since I entered Metropolitan College in K.L. the campus is filled with students everywhere. That made me more exciting. Check out these pictures: (From above) Beside the guild, walkway to Curtin Business School, library level 2, Atkinson Forum, walkway to Henderson Court/administration office. The walkway to Henderson Court is extremely packed with people.











This semester is being a crazy semester for me, crazier than all the Malaysian friends I know. The names of the hardcore subjects are Economic Theory 300, International Trade & Banking 305, Strategic Marketing 310 and Global Money & Capital Markets 200.

I took the picture of my Global Money & Capital Markets 200 class. Meet my lecturer Philip O’Hara. I heard that he is a famous book writer for finance institutionist. For his tutorial session though, he gave us a form to fill in our personal details and interests. Then, he wanted us to write our name on a piece of paper with marker pen, hold it below our face like police suspects, and face his video cam to describe ourselves. I wondered whether he was teaching marketing or communication class rather than economics and finance.







I also snapped the beautiful staircase corner of the new Curtin Business School Centre Office.



I had my dinner at the Bookmark Café just on the Level 1 of T.L. Robertson Library. I always like the neat and Ikea-look setup as well as the glass roof. Take your time to appreciate the lady at the left bottom of the picture, she was a gorgeous Indian lady. 



The other class was International Trade & Banking. Meet my lecturer Mr. Muru, he introduced himself that he had been working with Royal Bank Of Scotland in Singapore for 20 years. I hate that session, neither because of the subject nor the lecturer. It was the schedule, 1800 to 2030 at evening. I took the picture of the environment as I walk backed at 2000. It was not dark yet because of end of summer, but what about winter? The winter will come somewhere in March! I can’t imagine how to go back through those dark freezing streets.





A note over here for all my beloved family members and friends, as the school had started; I have to put most of the effort into my studies. I may not able write my blog as detailed and long as the old days. But one thing, I will write them daily and update them as soon as possible. Chung Fui, if you’re reading this, then you will know I’m still keeping myself to the blog very much.
