rio tinto and ice skating
wah!! tired tired! went out like the whole day today! geez.. no stamina already. went out from like 8am to hmm 1030pm today?? went 2 places. rio tinto: a steel manufacturing area and ice skating. hmm holiday now and been sick even since the 2 days before holiday.. super sian!! and got so much essay to write.. if you're full of motivation, seeing the question makes you lose all your motivation.. that's how sad it is. and accounting, 6 practical question. and 6 pages of theory work.. how nice ms agony (agonie) is.. -.-

rio tinto
the company we went was called HIsmelt (High Intensity Smelting) where you know they basically does the making of steel and recently export 6 b tonnes of iron ore or ore to china for the 2008 Beijing Olympic. left curtin at 9 to the site. spent the 1st 2 hours listening to the presentation (which include our short 10 mins morning break) and career opportunities and people sharing telling us to get out of our comfort zone? and yea describe about the place, how things work, why are they currently standing as one of the top producer of steels and stuff. wasn't too interesting since i'm not really keen with steel making but not too bad cause they talk about marketing stuff too. a little bit.
followed by lunch. they had BBQ (sausage rolls) so obviously i can't eat and so thanks to the smart nature of mine, prepared a sandwich there. yum! after lunch, comes the exciting part. 3 activities! basically that's getting out of our comfort zone, mixing with people we hardly talk to and stuff, and work together. though was gonna be bad but turn out pretty well. instead of me isolating myself, i was pretty outspoken today! ^^ happy. made me realize i could communicate with others too.. i mean i'm not that bad at communicating with others. anyway yea, games pretty hard to describe so shall skip that part. our grope came in last. well really last cause we stuffed up with our 1st section, others went really well other than the last one where we assemble pips and stuff. a tini mini mistake and got ourselves disqualified. so lucky other group got disqualified too so we aren't the last one. kee made the whole group feel better. was tiring but was fun!! ^^
okie, back to the room for more talks. hmm more understanding of career opportunities and yea end of talk. got souvenirs and headed to check out the site. cause they didn't have equipment and stuff, we can't actually walk around so just stayed in bus and had a small tour around then headed back to curtin.

to ice skating
on our way there, figure out my smart rider card (it's like ez-link) i got ripped of sooo many times till freaking pissed! charged junny 50c and my 1.19!! so many time. so went to check and what? mind's the standard card.not student. that bloody 1st guys like oh you have to go back to school and asked them to change a new one for you. so while filling up the multi rider card, asked another man. he's better. told me that's standard one and helped me changed it back and topped up at the same time. just a button (remember what that bloody 1st man said!) so cool soo went to mirrabooka (ice skating area) reached 35-45 mins later. no charged for my card ^^ finally solved! went Mac for dinner. freaking hungry. ordered small fries and that person gave me share for like a medium one. ^^ nice. was suppose to order a sundae chocolate too but stupid machine out of order. finished our food.. still craving for my sundae so walked alll the way to hungry jacks just to get the ice cream wahahah! dame shoke.. cold weather. cloudless night. eating ice cream. heaven!
