Summer holiday in Brisbane! Day 2...

Day by day blog reli wil wear me out lo... aiks~ but I hav no choice... took too many photos dy... -_-|| anw, let's continue with day 2 yea... hehe... that day ar... I rmb I went to University of Queensland, parts of the city and Sunnybank... haha... here goes....
This is taken on the 3rd day actually... haha... cuz 2nd day sat bus.. so, did not get to take photo with this... well, welcome to University of Queensland St. Lucia campus! haha...
This is the first year engineers' lounge.... that's the place whr they eat, sleep, play, watch tv, chill out la... haha...
Next is this... I'm sure some of u had alrdy seen this in some of my friends' blogs... Steele building, which houses the faculty of pharmacy... Scientia ac Labore is the uni's motto, which means Through knowledge and hard work... haha...
And here is at the other side of Steele building la... I'm juz there... see me?
The great court izit? 4got the name dy... haha... but this big field is enclosed in a big big building la... right in the middle... nice place for picnic... hehe...
Walk walk a bit, we see this... the purple-flowered tree... it's called the 'exam tree' by locals... its real name is Jacaranda... why izit called the exam tree? it's cuz the flowers wil start to bloom near exams... in Queensland, when it starts to bloom, u'll hav to start to study for the exams and if a flower drops on ur head, u'll fail the exams lo... in Sydney, when the flower starts to bloom, it's too late to start studying dy... haha... but in Pretoria, South Africa, u'll pass ur exams if the flower drops on ur head... imagine students standing under the tree waiting for the flowers to drop on their head instead of studying... -_-|| haha...
This is the university's main refectory... a refectory is a place whr ppl hav their meals o... normally in schools, monasteries and colleges...
No, this is not yellow Jacarandas... this is juz a random pic which I think is nice... so, I took it la.. haha...
Other than Jacarandas and students, which both are all over the uni, there are also plenty of iguanas... Godzilla's nearby...... hahaha...
Next stop! UQ art museum...
This is outside of the museum... they call it Mr Smiley... :)
In the museum, there's this Humvee tilted vertically...
There's even this pipe organ! cool eh?
Can u make out what's this?? no worries if u cant cuz it's art mar... haha...
This here is juz opposite the art museum... the Law school.... frankly speakin, I like the bricks used to build the buildings... givs me a vy vy "gigantic" feel...
Next thing, we took a bus to the city... this here is the underground bus interchange... fully air-conditioned! juz wat we needed tat time..... haha...
Took a bus to a park which i 4got the name... -_-|| anw, this is me and the giraffe...
Chia Yee and the slightly crooked kangaroo...
Nice angle eh? haha...
Spring's here and time for.........
Sexy pose!!! (failed... obviously) haha... -_-|||
There's even a small man-made stream there...
After that, we took a bus to Riverside... This bridge is Story Bridge... I WON'T 4get the name de la... haha... smone ar... keeeeeep on mentioning it... aiks~ hehe...
Then we continue walk ard la... another failed attempt for a sexy pose... aiks~
Behind me is a steamship... it's made into a floating restaurant, I think.... juz like a restaurant in Johor Bahru (capital city of Johor)... I think the name's Eden's Garden... haha...
Then, we walked pass Botanical Gardens to the Queensland University of Technology, QUT! haha... it's a feat lo according to Chia Yee... cuz it's reli reli far away la...
Near the uni, there's this... this is called Goodwill bridge...
Then we went to the casino... oh no, dun misunderstand me la... haha... I juz found it strange that they hav this in the toilet of the casino... I mean it's a casino and not a hotel... can do it there mie?? aiks~ aftr that only I know what's the meaning of "anywhere, anytime (anyhow...??!)"
And here it is la... the round round moon on the 15th of the Lunar Calendar... haha... btw, this is Sunnybank... had Taiwanese food there... then, back we went to sleep... haha...
