| ♥ Take-a-peek! Yeah, as some of you might hear, I'll be furthering my studies at UQ this year. UQ is short for University of Queensland in case you don't know. =) Actually I didn't want to publicise about this even to my own friends, because I really hate the idea of the measuring and comparing. And most of my friends tend to do that, and it's really annoying. I mean, it is a good thing if they asked me about my latest updates out of the care of their pure hearts and hoped that I'll get to further my studies in a good university so that we can succeed together, even at different places. But if the reason they ask is so that they could brag about their better achievements or better luck, well... that just sucks. So it's better that I keep quiet and save myself from the fires of anger. And since those friends of mine are unaware of the existence of this blog, so it is very safe for me to tell my story here, for the benefit of those who will be going to Australia after me.. Who knows~ =) From THES (Times Higher Education Supplement) University Rankings 2009, 1. ANU (Australian National University) [17] 2. Uni. of Melbourne [36] 2. Uni. of Sydney [36] 4. UQ (University of Queensland) [41] 5. Monash University [45] 6. UNSW (University of New South Wales) [47] 7. University of Adelaide [81] note: Uni. of Melbourne and Uni. of Sydney are stuck on the same rank, so there's no No. 3. It's not a typing error. And the square brackets represent the university's world ranking. Not bad at all, is it? And PNB only allowed us to go either to Uni. of Melbourne and UQ. Yes, I've came across the '2008 Business Schools in Australia Ranking' and it stated UNSW (not even in PNB's list T.T) as one of the top and UQ is at rank 5 or 6. Well, since I'm sponsored and everything about my education and career is now in the hands of PNB, I don't really care... That is why I'm quite stressed when people start comparing and make my life miserable by pointing back at my past. I know I've made a considerable (and maybe unforgivable) amount of mistakes, but you know what? I've never regret making them! I've already considered it as part of my history so that I can learn from it and MOVE ON! Otherwise, I might commit them later in my life anyway, which could turn out much worse. So just be thankful for what has happened, okay? Anyways, enough of that. My initial attention was to post some pictures that I stalked from UQ's facebook group. hehe~ It's not my first time flying to Brisbane, Australia, but I haven't came across such beautiful view during my 5-day visit a LONG time ago. It really reminded me of the Sakura flower of Japan.   Beautiful, isn't it? Perhaps it only blooms during spring, and when I came here previously, it was already autumn... Owh, btw the flower's name is 'jacaranda' if I'm not mistaken. And down here are some more pics of the flower in close-up and UQ buildings.   That building is one of UQ's main building. I forgot the name...   The UQ lake's view at dusk.  I feel like being in Harry Potter's filming set. LOL!  UQ is really proud of this part of the architecture. The arc carvings, I mean...  The lake during the day.  UQ Customs.  Bus-stop.   Administrative Area.  Look at the length! They're waiting for a bus~ *sigh*    Air view of UQ... So now, all I'm waiting for is my financial affidavit from PNB. Once i receive that, I can submit them to IDP to receive my eCOE (Confirmation of Enrollment), which then allows me to apply for my student visa. Only when I get my visa can I apply for my accommodation... tsk tsk...  |
