Sydney

It's going to be close to 3 weeks since i got to Sydney. My Internet was up long ago but its just that i couldn't get myself down to posting. I've been fully occupied with all the administrative stuff of moving to a new place, then came enrolling into the uni and now its with lessons.

The weather here is much cooler than Singapore however, there has been a few days of storms. During this time it rained for almost 2-3days continuously, it was pretty cold during those few days. It has been quite an experience living away from home and I think army did a good job in teaching me how to lead an independent life. I do my own washing and cleaning but at times i do miss my maid. She was very happy when i told her that....

I'm doing 4 modules this semester; Accounting Principles, Corporate Finance and Capital Markets, Principles of Econometrics and Quantitative Finance. Before we got here, Srikanth and I, both toughened by NTU Mechanical Engin's 7 module semester thought the workload wouldn't be too much to handle. However, the workload is much heavier and we find ourselves working pretty hard here.

This post has some pictures around my room as well. The first picture is the sight out of my window! I'm on the 9th floor and my room faces the entire Sydney CBD. The last three pictures are taken around my room
