Hi all,

Well, to start it all off, I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Lokman, and I'm a year 3 student of Temasek Poly studying in ITO. I'd like to think of myself as a jovial guy, and I
LOVE programming. Don't ask me why, I think it's in my blood or something. From the moment I stepped into TP, I knew that it was a good thing, and that I was going to do well here. It must have been the good environment that i liked about TP to make it the school that I chose. Or the awesome food. :P Well, whatever it was, I knew that I enjoyed my every minute of school in TP.
Enough about myself. What I'd like to share to you readers today was the grand opportunity that I was lucky enough to have and TP provided it for me: an
Overseas Student Internship Program to Australia (or OSIP, for short). What happened was that TP had sent me abroad to Australia for an internship with one of the most prestigious universities in Australia - University of Queensland. Can you believe that?! I was really at a lost for words when they said it was confirmed that I would go. All I could think of was "OMG! OMG! I'm really going!". What would Australia be like? Could I really survive the journey? Would I have enough expenses? I guess common questions like this would be on everyone's mind. But surprise, surprise, nothing untoward ever did happen to me (I certainly didn't go looking for it :P) and I survived, coming back to Singapore with a whole new outlook on life and with the rich experience of an another country's culture and lifestyle. Yeah, Australia rocks my world! :P
I can't possibly describe to you guys every single thing that I did or what I experienced, so I'm going to leave it to that trusty old adage of "a picture tells a thousand words". These are some pictures I took of the University of Queensland:
Alvin, my TPmate who went with me there

The Great Square Courtyard of UQ

One of the many beautiful walkways that display olden-style architecture

Ah, the scenery becomes even more breathtaking once the sun sets...

Who would have thougt UQ and TP have something in common? While we have our resevoir, they have a lake....

Ahhh... The pictures get more beautiful everytime I look at them, and fond memories come to mind... But then again, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, eh? Let's see some other pictures i took while i was havin' myself a lil' fun:
Just having a bike ride in DreamWorld Theme Park...
Or how about visiting the animal attractions? :P
Last but not least... The adventure wouldn't be complete without a day with friends enjoying the sun, sand and the sea... Take a wild guess on why it's called the Rainbow Beach... :P

Well, that's it for today. Till next time, bye! :P
