Weekend With Sadness

Last weekend,I stayed at home with my husband because he got flu.Fortunately,it was common flu without fever.He had a sore throat and coughed all the times which worried me for the whole weekend.
Beause of his illness,we couldn't do anyting we had planed.I prepared some porridge for him for that was the only food he want to have.He watched TV series on the internet and I talked with my friends on MSN.Everything was not so bad when one of my friends told me another friend of us who was one of my best friends in my university was announced to uterus cancer that day.I couldn't help crying at the momont which frightened my husband.
What cruel news!She is so young and planed to have a baby this year.She had no chioce but remove her uterus which meant she couldn't have baby any more.I wished I was in China and companied with her,but I couldn't.
It was such a sad weekend.I wish it never happened if possible.

Walk On The Rocks




Last Tuesday,our class had a excursion to The Rocks.It's my first excursion with my teacher and classmates.And also it was my first visit to The Rocks since I came to Australia two months ago.

Marion was so carefully that she printed the train time table for everyone to make sure all of us would not get lost.I met my classmates and teacher at Kogarah Station because I don't want to take the train for a long distance by myself.Another reason was I was afraid to lose my way for we had to change another train at Town Hall.

The Rocks is the site of the first colonial settlement in Australia.We started from the Writer's Walk which was from the Museum of Contempory Art to the Opera House,it was perfect for the literary buffs.Despite generations of change, traces of early convict settlements can still be found.The city’s oldest building, Cadman’s Cottage (circa1816), is also located here. Along with the Discovery Museum,we took a lot of pictures of the traces.The Argyle Cut and Susannah Place were visted after lunch,which excavated in middle 1800s.
We all had a wonderful time except one dispointed thing.It happened when we asked the 'Capiton Cook'whether we could take a picture with him,he pretended can't hear us,but just promote his sales.What a spoilsport!
