Open day with kids (3rd of Jan)

I was invited to go uni open day with Jennifer, Raymond and Roy (My new friend that day) yet I was late for more than half an hour. But this time, I wasn't trying to make any excuses, the train was delayed for 20 minutes at my stop..:S

Raymond has grown much taller and different that I couldn't even recognise him once I saw him waiting there with Jennifer at the bus stop. He has became super Korean like, even I wanted to ask where he got his pants from because that kind of baggy pants are rarely to be seen at the market.

After we arrived in UNSW, we went around and took some info booklet at that big hall where it's situated next to the Electrical building in upper campus. They wanted to ask around their chosen fields, so I followed. In the beginning of every uni student, it's hard to figure out what kinds of questions they are needed to ask, then I provided some tips and example questions for them. Raymond, the 98+ ATAR all-rounder would be doing medical science in UWS this year. And he might transfer to UNSW next year if he could. This person is pretty confident to get distinction and high distinction even though he hasn't even started his uni life yet, even from how terrible I have described what a uni life is really like, he didn't seem to be freaked out at all. Jennifer's first preference is landscape architecture, which is something that I've heard of yet not much people around me are doing it. I bet it would be quite a fun thing for her to do it since she's able to do physical model, and use plenty of softwares to create 3D models. Like the ones that lady has shown on the school web page of students' works in the past. They seemed to be pretty sophisticated, the projects were exactly like the ones that will be done in a regional area or a big city. I could see, and feel how much excitement Jennifer has from her amazement when she saw those big projects. I also helped her to ask a few more questions so she could know much more about her degree such as internship.

Later we headed to USYD. I was already so exhausted on our way there though. They woke me up when we arrived there. The only reason we went there was they wanted to ask an engineering course for one of their friends as she's been in oversea all this time. Same to UTS, where Raymond went to a shady area with me and talked, Jennifer and Roy went somewhere else after we got the fairy floss.

They also walked to TAFE with me after that. TAFE wasn't open yet the information centre next to it opened for the whole day. That receptionist gave me three booklets of different courses that are possibly taken as I asked for filmmaking, interactive digital media and graphic design. It was such a hard decision to decide which one to take, now it's even harder.

Also, we went Mayer with Raymond in order for him to change the size of his uncle's belt. And lastly we had Nando's together and he shared his roasted chicken with me. Before he left, we took a few photos doing cute faces. Roy and Raymond left Jennifer and I at 5.

We then walked around and chatted a bit at the park. She is sort of having a dilemma whether she should quit her job because there is this guy likes her so much and that has brought her a lot of trouble when she has to work with someone that likes her, yet she has no feeling towards him at all. After the talk, we went Korean restaurant as well as Chinatown as it was Friday. She loves to see those little things a lot, well, but it was a right time for me to get somebody something as well..

Great day with kids after all :3
