What's this about?
The Whizzes Of Oz is basically a blog about Australia -- the people, the cuisine, culture, entertainment et cetera. Note that it hasn't achieved the impossible feat of being exhaustive :)
What is posted here is purely about the five aspects that the five of us chose to post about that we think will either be relevant to us or helpful or otherwise interesting for the future time that we'll spend in the Land Down Under.
Why Australia? And why blog about it?
Because we wanted to oogle at pictures of koalas.
Nope, that wasn't the real reason, but by the way, we do.
It started as a project for our Computer Technology classes. Our lecturer wanted everyone to form groups and make a blog, and since we're all AUSMAT students bound for Australia, we figured that the topic should be relevant to our future, so that it would be sure to rouse the entire class' interest -- and what was more relevant than the shining land of Australia itself? The icing on the cake is that it would actually be useful to us future students of Australia's best universities (hopefully!).
P.S: This actually counts for our final grades, so feel free to fire those suggestions and critiques away! Our imaginary kangaroos eagerly welcome you. :D
Who are you guys? And why are you taking Computer Studies under AUSMAT?
We are a group of three rather starkly different, extremely unique but (thank God) highly team-spirited girls who are doing AUSMAT at INTEC Education College, some because we chose to, others because we have to, but all because we want to continue our degrees at the wondrous land of Oz.
Computer Studies, rather wisely (in Jasmine's opinion) is a prerequisite subject -- a ticket to us actually getting there. Hi Miss Hanin!
So what reason do I have to read this blog? Am I one of your target groups?
Our primary target group is Miss Hanin, as she is the one who will give us marks to actually get to Aussie. Joking, only joking!
All levity aside though, we did begin this blog hoping to know more about Australia. Some of us knew nothing about Oz before coming here and starting classes (other than the world-famous kangaroos and koalas, of course. Lila even has a stuffed koala acting as her handphone pouch). We wanted to help our classmates (hi batch AUSMAT 28, Adelaide of INTEC!) out too -- and what better way to write about Australia where the students will be forced to pay attention in class?
So for the stray reader, if you're like us students under sponsorship, heading to Aussie but knowing next to nothing about it, or if you have ever wanted to know more about the Land Down Under or have a particular question you just can't get out of your head, stop by our blog and take a look! You might find something you're interested in -- and after all, students don't blog about Australia all the time...
..so when they do it, you know it'll be informative and complete ('cos it's being assessed for our exams), a good read that's not a waste of your time (cos we students don't have time to waste time :3 *snickers* ) and fresh and humorous ('cos we're young!).
And so's Miss Hanin. No, this is not for brownie points, she is. Although being told that they appear young never hurt anyone.
So, as the Ozzies say it. g'dday, mate!!!
