just a couple of days ago
HAIL storm fell over Perth metro area
first time ever witnessing such an event
it hailed like no tomorrow
the irony was at 2 pm the sun was still pretty bright but by 4 pm
all hell had broken lose
many buildings had suffered substantial damage
the hall was badly damaged as well
vehicles were hit badly too
poor toyota is covered with golf ball dents all over
rear windscreen was smashed
front windsreen was cracked
side mirrors cracked
speakers damaged
glass everywhere
some pple were hurt too by the falling hail
totally did not expect this freak weather
have been searching for avenues to repair the vehicle over the past few days
managed to get both windscreens replaced
cost 800 dollars
now searching for places to replace side mirrors other than the official dealer
got a quote for 555 dollars for replacing side mirrors, covers plus labour cost
worst thing is parts have to be flown in from Eastern Australia which means more waiting time
SO MUCH TROUBLE CAUSED BY THIS HAIL STORM
Car parts can be replaced
human lives cant
so im glad people i know didnt get hurt
thats what matters the most
1:56:00 PM
its march already

its been about 2 and half weeks since i got back to aus
now in the 3rd week of school
pace of work is slowly picking up
week 1
nothing much done
first dinner out of hall on sunday night
ate at city at tookegi korean cafe with delicious food
spent the first week searching for course readers and textbooks
on one of the nights headed out to freemantle with set mates for dinner
glorious fish and chips for me while they had their fill of fresh seafood
on the way back got a little lost...
luckily managed to find way back
one thing i still dont like is that the streets down under are poorly lit
makes driving at night more tiring
have to really concentrate
second week settling down into slow pace of life once again
finalised all my units to study
back to playing card games to pass time
modified monopoly
once again picking up texas hold em up
on the second sunday
had a superbly delicious breakfast with setmates at witches cauldron in Subiaco
pancakes yum yum
after that at subi market to get some fruits
after that it was a wild drive to different malls only to find out that they were all closed
since it was a sunday and monday was a public holiday
in the end settled for light dim sum at northbridge
more nights of playing monopoly cardgames
went to get equipment for crabbing
was supposed to head out to mandurah to try and catch crabs
but that got postphoned
just sent the car for servicing
ouch the bill hurts
high labour costs here
amandas convocation is coming soon
bruce's convo is coming too
season for last sems graduates to get their hard earned degrees
time is passing faster
its already one and half years since i first came to perth....
time to make the most of it
