Life in Australia

Honours year

2011-09-11T02:53:00.001+09:30

Time flies, my honours year is about to end in 2 months time. 7 months ago I totally have no idea what a research life would be, feeling excited and concern at the same time. 7 months later, I wish my research life would not end in such a short time.

The main focus of my project is to look at the relationship between the body mass of odontocete (toothed whales) and features that relate to their echo-locating ability on their skull. One of them is the degree of asymmetry of their nares.

The biggest and smallest skull that I have.

It is really interesting seeing different species of odontocetes skulls. Some are so huge that moving them require heavy machines while others are so tiny that one can pick 3 to 4 skulls up without any effort.

Now my project has come to the last but most important bit, analysis and presenting the result. This is also the hardest part since I have to figure out what all these data and graphs mean. At the moment, I seems to get stuck in getting any meaning from all the graphs that I have. It seems the only solution is to read more and hopefully my supervisor will give me some hints...

The place I have my skull scanned. Stinky but lovely place.

Wish me luck ! and hopefully I could get a 1st class honours and continue to PhD....ahhhh that would be my next aim !

um....

Sampling

2010-09-12T00:05:00.000+09:30

Been sampling in Marino Rocks for a few times in these past few weeks.
The interesting of sampling is you may come up with something very interesting, but usually they are outside your quadrat or not the spp. that you are dealing with.
This is from my latest sampling trip, added some of my own interpretation

I have to make it clear that I DO NOT put them together !! they are already stacking like this when I found them, just outside the quadrat that we were about to count :D lovely !! LOL !

And we also found something that look like a crab shell but it was soft !! it may be bones of other species ! who knows !!

So next time when you walk along the beach, look around your feet, you may find something very interesting !! ;)

Septemeber

It's September already ! Students in HK should have started their new semester, but now I'm in the middle of my 2nd semester....
Soon it will be mid-sem break and it's time for field trips again !
Talking about field trips, I do like them, coz I can't get to go somewhere that usually people won't go, esp tourists. These are the experience that I can't buy !! On the other hand, these trips usually takes up most of my holiday/ breaks, so when my friends are all having fun and traveling all around Aus, I will be stuck in the same state. Whats more is there is always a report after these camps, still I like going to field trips :)

This is my last semester for my undergraduate degree, hopefully I will be able to get into Honours degree next year. I once dream to be a car racer and a dolphins trainer, the first one is impossible since I am not rich at all. As for the 2nd one, it would be better to protect them rather than teaching them to play tricks in a tiny pool. So I think my career will be in trying to understand how the world works (at least part of the world) and find a way to protect it before it is too late.

So got to work hard !! :)

從塔斯曼尼亞這個小島回來都有一個星期, 一直都久病不好, 是近一兩日先至好D
Tassie 其實好正, 可惜我去得唔係時候, 凍到死
Summer去一定仲好玩

Things can't see in HK

2010-04-18T12:02:00.001+09:30

Being in Australia meaning that I can see a lot of things that can't be seen in HK.
one of those is the warplanes
it's impossible see one of those warplanes in HK as we don't have a proper army
so when the first time seeing them flying before my eyes was really exciting !
they are fast, and noisy !!
they are real noisy, you can hear their engine screaming before you can actually see them.
so whenever I hear that big, huge noisy sound, I can be 100% sure that it was one of those birds.

will share my "things can't be seen in HK" again , next time :)

Way to concentrate ?

2010-04-14T21:14:00.000+09:30

It's difficult for me to concentrate when my computer is on and i have to do my assignment.
I usually will go onto facebook after reading for a while
and may be to the forums that I usually visit
You would say, why don't you switch it off ?
I wish I could do that too, but the problem is, I have to find articles online for my essay
and many of my assignment require online research =.=

I find it more easy to concentrate when my computer is off
is there a way to concentrate even it's on ??
arrrr>.<"
CONCENTRATE !!!!!!OMG !!!

黑了的廚房

2010-04-11T23:01:00.000+09:30

今早被火警鐘嚇醒,原來housemate焗東西時失手, 全個廚房的天花, 牆全都黑了!!
最重要的是天花的黑色mark大都洗不到
這令我想起The Sims, 好多時sim民因煮飯level不夠而把廚房燒了
突然好想玩The Sims, 可惜我這部電腦玩不到(vista 玩不到第一集,第二集又沒有graphic card,玩不到)

是時候要開始我的assignment工程了!!
努力 !!

來一個中文

2010-04-11T02:00:00.000+09:30

其實都不知道打甚麼好....

還有一個星期的假期,但要做的assignments就有一大堆,
說是假期,但其實是功課星期=.=

Blogging again

2010-04-10T23:43:00.000+09:30

It has been ages since i wrote my last blog in xanga.com, I just find it hard to keep it up all the time.

and mostly, i find i've got nothing to talk about :p

But it seems now that I've got something to share on Blog again as I'm now having a totally new different life here in Australia.

Yes, I am an international student and now studying in Australia. Here I have so much new experiences, they are just so wonderful that I wish to put them all online.

Hoping that someone from the other side of the world may also find it interesting :]

And, the 2nd thing that I wish to do is to practice my chinese typing(yes, I'm a chinese), so I hope this blog will be covered with both chinese and english (i'm a bit lazy sometime, english is just so easy to type)

hope you enjoy it !
