My Memories~Part 1
2:12 PM












Finally get enough sleep to write my review on the Aus trip.
Compared to my Taiwan trip in June, both are in fact fun in one way or another. Our group of piggies has 19 students, with a Ren Yu(SPH Journalist) & Damien(Photographer)Here are them.
We went to various museums which include:
  1. National Museum of Australisa
  2. Canberra Deep Space Tracking Station.

It was one of the NASA station in the world and the inspiring speaker,Glen, told us how Earth was so minute compared the whole universe. He also introduced us to new planets discovered, like Make Make and he even shared with us the latest photos taken of Mars-"live"

3.Old Parliament House


A series of roleplaying took place. This is Nigel and Jia Yi who played the role of the governors in Aus in the past...haha. They were so cute in fact!




4.Australian War Memorial


Got to witness the pre-ceremony of the Rememberance Day! Brass Band and squats could be seen


5. Questacon -The Science & Tech Centre


Got to experience free fall by fallling vertically downwards...Really scary when i recalled it again, insulin really rushes to my whole body. Also, played the game of throwing of ball with Wang Zi.it looked simple but the faster the roatating speed, the tendency of throwing the ball to the opp person will be getting harder, due to some physics theory said by the HCI friends.


Most of all i love the AIS (Australia Institue of Sport), coz we had the chance to play basketball with the Australian national basketball player and they had an average height of 200 cm. Their awesome throwing techinques and tricks made me feel disheartened, especially when from afar, u could see that it is a match of gaints and dwarfs. (There is actually a video abt the whole match, must take from robin...Will upload asap)





Bangaboaoui: Aboriginal Cultural Harbour Cruise-


We had the chance to witness the real Aboriginals in Australia. U may wonder what are Aboriginals? They were actually native people in Aus, before the British came, but due to the arrival of more convicts sent from British, Aborigianl population in Aus.
