Gelato
Gelato is typically made with fresh fruit or other ingredients such as chocolate (pure chocolate, flakes, chips, candies, truffles, etc.), nuts, small candies, sweets, or cookies. Outside Italy it is often made using flavors imported from Italy. Gelato made with water and without dairy ingredients is also known as sorbetto. Traditionally, milk-based gelato originated in Northern Italy, while the fruit-and-water based sorbetto came from the hotter parts of Southern Italy and Sicily.
i had a very big gelato tonight after dinner, wush, so so big :D
dont get shocked with this, i already shocked for such huge gelato :P
Dont get jealous with me,i know it's very delicious and huge. in such huge gelato that mix with lots of traditional flavours. white for lime, orange for orange, pink for strawberry, green for pistacchio, bottom of those, hidden with chocolate, hazelnut, coffee. wooooo !! you gonna love it. my favourites are lime, chocolate and hazelnut, may be pistacchio, cos i think green colour is pistacchio or mint, i not very sure, but i am sure that i taste some mint beside pistacchio. well, orange and strawberry been rejected :P and they melted in the end.

Graduation -_-"
well. come back to the application. i went to information center to apply for graduation. below is the conversation
m : me
h: human in the counter
e: etc people behind the counter
m: g'day mate, i am here to apply for the graduation.
h gave me a form
h: you fill up this form and submit back to me
m: i want to apply for this december ceremony, will i still have the vacancy for that?
h look at me, and look at etc and ask etc
e: the application closed already.
m: oh shit ! (shocked). are you serious? i didnt know when is the due date to apply
h: sorry, we cant help,you just get this form and you may go ask for international student office to seek for help.
conversation ended at student information center
wondering, if you are oversea student, normally international student office(ISO) should help you and try to sort out for you. but i found that SWINBURNE ISO is not helpful at all. you can judge with the conversation below.
m: me
s:student helper
a:award department staff
i pick a number and sit down to wait. you know, in a place that no student, they still require to take a ticket and wait until you been call.like very systematic, but i tell you, this is not. i reckon they use this way to do their own stuff until they are free, then you got serve
m: good afternoon, i need help with the graduation ceremony application
s: how i can help you?
m: i am wondering, is that still too late for me to apply for the graduation ceremony? i went to information center, they said this was closed during 31/oct. before that,i dont get anouncement and notice about this. i was busy with the exams and project,i would not have so much time to go information center to ask about this everyday. dont you guys should post and send notice to final sem student to apply?
s: oh, i'm sorry. we expected student will go check themselves. as the information will be in swinburne website.
m: LOOK! the problem is will you go browse uni website everyday? like will you go to hotmail to check for other option like changing password everyday? students busy for exams and project at such time. and end of october is the starting of exams, dont you think student will so free go search and browse such information beside revising and reading?
s:yes, you are right, may be i try to call award department to ask again.
phone conversation between her and award department
s: hi, i am ????? (forgot what her name) from international student office. i have enquiry for this student here. he want to apply for this coming december graduation ceremony. is he too late for this?
a: blah blah blah (i cant hear what she talked in phone)
s: oh ok, thank you
ended again
this is the way she asked for me. you think she is trying to help and sort it out for me? i dont think so, i would call myself if so
she continue the conversation with me
s: i'm sorry, i called and they said too late for you to apply. they need 1 to 2 months advance to prepare everything for the ceremony
m: i know, that why i am here to seek for your help. i not too sure they still can squeeze me in or not, but atleast you try to talk and argue with them for me. as my visa expiring coming jan. and my parents book ticket for my ceremony( well, this is a beauty lie). i plan everything for them. and if i tell my parent, i not going to have my ceremony in this december. what they will feel?
s: i only can say you try to call them or email them, tell them what is your problem, hopefully they will still allow.
i am speechless when i heard this. i dont have any comment on that. i only can feel, she gave me a very "helpful" advise and she "helped" me a lot in that. end up, i need to do it all myself, find international student office is a useless action. believe me !
i have a very clean and beautiful application form with me. information of ceremony are inside. but you have to go take the form yourself, else you wont know what is the information of the ceremony beside you go to browse the uni website carefully and in depth to find out.
yes, i didnt wait for my examination result, yet i am still late for that. very "helpful"
yes, for "international students only"
