Starting to get use to my new Oz environment

I haven't blogged for a while since Jan. I have moved to Brisbane for my graduate school and I am glad that I am out of Malaysia for a while. However, I did feel somewhat sad that I have to leave Malaysia. Well, I felt somewhat similar to the time when I left SF like 2 years ago. I guess I am just missing the people who treated me well while I was in Malaysia.

After 3 weeks of school, I am starting to get use to the Australian Uni environment. Although it is a little different than the US college system that I experience as an Undergrad, I feel like they have a more academic focused program in UQ.

Besides school, all I have been doing here at Brisbane is just grocery shopping and browsing the web at home. I hope I can get to find something new to do at this place because this place is boring!! Anyways, I did enjoy the grocery shopping experience since we have a woolsworth and a coles nearby. I get to compare prices in this two places when I am trying to purchase orange juice. I get a feel of arbitrage when I am comparing prices of OJ before making a purchase at the lowest price among the two and I sure wish I can resell it back to the other grocery store who might buy it back with their higher retail price for a slight profit. It is just a thought.
