Finally... an update! I think it's one week since my last blog... seems like ages though. Anyway.... just a lil update on my life for the week.
Monday:
Managed to finish my last and final assignment by 5.25pm. I was late, but nevertheless it's done and completed with much relief. But i aint sure whether i'll do well for this paper, i highly doubt so, I aim to pass only... getting credit for this paper will be a bonus for me. Anyway.... after that went home and just nuahed the whole night. Watched tv and just laze in bed. Shiok!
Tuesday:
Went to chadstone to buy a pair of black flats, i need it for work. It's my first day at work as a F&B attendant at the melbourne town hall. It was scary coz i've never done such things before. It was a banquet kinda dinner, so it's a really formal one. But coz i was new, i didnt had to do much, just act as a filling in if there is any work to be done. I thought i had to carry 3 hotplates on my arms, but thankfully the duty manager said if i aint comfortable and confident abt carrying the plates, I'll just carry two. At the beginning, i had to carry trays of drinks (beer, wine, champange, soft drinks and orange juice) around for the pre-event cocktail drinks. That was tiring... my arms ached so badly. Anyway.... it was almost dinner time for the guests, so i had to wait with this other girl (who was new too) to see if any help was needed. But in the end... we were transferred to downstairs to help out for another event, a cocktail function for the Australian Film Commission. It was a better job for me, coz it was just pouring drinks and serving drinks. Though tiring... i did learn quite a bit of stuff. The whole experience was not bad.
Wednesday and Thursday:
I didnt do much on wednesday... just stayed at kevin's place and nuah the whole day. Rested my aching arms and feet. As for thursday... well... i played MAHJONG!!! haha!! yeah!!! had permission from kevin to let me play mahjong, so I headed to samuel and keith's place for the session. It was pretty good... i had good tiles...but sometimes just not that lucky too. But the night was fun. Headed to Maccas after that for some supper than headed home.
Friday:
I thought i would love this day... but i hated the night. Well... i headed to kevin's place so we could head down to crown to watch a movie. We watched Collatoral Damage. It wasn't that bad a show.... tom cruise was not bad... but i thought jamie foxx was brilliant. Funny man playing a serious role. Not bad. anyway... i worked on this day too.... in the evening at fed square. It was a pretty demoralising night for me. First time working at this place too... it's call ZINC @ Fed Sq. Cool place. My duty was to carry trays of drinks and be ready to serve when guests arrived. I carried a tray of sparkling water and orange juice, i think it had about 12 glasses on the tray, all filled to the top. It was bloody heavy..... reallly heavy. I couldn't take it... and so i decided to change tray.. i carried the champange tray. but because of the previous trray... my arms were wobbling, so the champagne tray wobbled too when i carried it. And knowing how fragile and light these champange glasses are... the unimaginable and most embarressing thing happened to me. Guests were walkin in... and there and then... i broke all the champagne glasses infront of everyone. WAH!!! i felt so bad..... quickly went to change... and apologise to the supervisor profusely... but this bloody supervisor... well... i think he's a malaysian chinese... wanting to act like a bloody ang mo... and i think he's gay.... was damm bloody bitchy. oh well... he didn't say much... but his face said it all. So... my duty changed to toppin up drinks... and i went round topping drinks up for people. The other staff were quite nice and consoled me... but it was seriously the most embarressing moment. Those ladies behind the countered looked so fierce too when each time i asked for more beer bottles. Dunno... they looked super unfriendly... as if i owed them a favour. Oh well... fortunately the night ended early for me.... but it wasn't worth earning that $40 for 2hrs 45mins. more so.. coz the next day i had to work for the races. sigh... felt such a loser... oh ya... and the guests thought i was from china... and spoke mandarin to me. argh!! ignorance!
Saturday:
I really didnt feel like working... coz of the friday night's incident. But for the money.... i had too. Dragged my soul and body to flemington race course. Kevin worked too... (oh ya.. he introduced me to this job) we were pretty early... kevin headed to his tent... i went to mine. We worked at the VIP tents, it was corporate tents meant for guests and clients of the respective companies. To name a few big names at the VIP tents: Myers, Loreal, Emirates, Longines, Cadbury, Seven network, CitiGroup, etc. Ye... there were lots more... Kevin worked for a law firm... i worked in a Scottish construction company. Initially i was suppose to work for the knight frank's tent, but again... i was a fill-in causal... i was transferred to the scottish tent. I thought i would have more fun at the knight frank's tent coz it was smaller and the other staff were friendly. I thought i was headed to a diastrous day but ... the scottish tent wasn't that bad. The manager of the tent was actually quite nice and very accomodating. Cool dude... i think he shld be in his late twenties. The other staff in the tent were quite nice too.. this girl called carlie and another guy called Will. It was a pretty relaxing work place... coz my job was just to top up drinks and clear empty plates and glasses. Occassionally i would stay behind the bar and take drink orders. The crowd of coz were well dressed... the ladies were gorgeous and men were well-groomed. The food for the guests looked good... and fortunately... as a staff.. we had the priviledge to eat those food too.... manager kept heading to the kitchen and eat the food and kept telling us to take it if we want too. Hhaha... shiok! I made friends with the security guard for the tent too..... and the host of the tent. This host is definately a gay guy.... hard to tell u why i think so... but i think my gaydar skills are not that bad. Anyway.... the whole day was a pretty fun experience.. get to watch all the races...., eat good food... drink as and when i want too. So eventhough the work was tiring and strenous... i had fun. There was a deejay spinning in the tent too... and the music he chose were pretty good shit too... motown groove tunes. So... a mixture of good management, friendly workmates, good food and good music... working for this tent aint that bad afterall. I hope i will work at the same tent again.... manager will request to the recruitment supervisor for me to work back at the same tent.
I will be working for all the races... 2nd, 4th and 6th. So... it'll be good money... hopefully the same good fun too.
I think... to make a work place more enjoyable to work must have a good supervisor or manager, friendly and co-operative collegues and a nice environment. I hated the malaysian supervisor i had...and will continue to bitch about him... if i ever work back at that place.
Sunday:
Woke up late as usual.... plus i lost one hour coz of daylight savings... i woke up even later. I didnt want to stay at home coz the weather was simply too good to resist. Plus kevin's housemates were watching dvd ... and using the internet.. so i was seriously bored stiff. Headed to st. kilda... and there were so many people there. most girls were in bikinis walking along the ackland street...it was just so nice to be at the beach. It felt good to be out and just relax. I needed the exercise too... at least i walked and not sit at home and rot to death till the night. Bought one cake for kevin's household, and one fruit tart for myself... :)
Now.. i'm in caufield com lab... ready to head home to cook dinner and watch australian idol. Haley shld go next... she doesn't deserve to be in top 4 actually... she's just not star material.. to stiff... and maybe continue to watch singapore idol... mum sent over the tape again. :)
Panic! I have my final assignment due tomorrow and I've written 380 words only! It's a 2500 words essay and I just finished the introduction. OMIGOD!! it's 7.08 pm now.... looks like it's an all-nighter for me tonight. No sleep... must finish by tomorrow 3pm. Argh.... actually 2500 is not alot of words... by right it's possible to finish 2500 words in a day.. but i can't stop feeling worried abt my work. I worry that what i'm writing doesn't answer the question or the idea of the course. I'm afraid of failing this piece because it's worth 50%! It doesn't help that my red rubies have just arrived too!!!!! ARGH!!!
know what..... i think i need to binge....i really need to buy loads of snacks to calm myself down! Doesn't help that kevin is stressed out too because he has an exam paper tomorrow. So... we have two stressed out people worring about their individual stuff.
Well...i just need to get motivated and finish this assignment of mine. I really really hope i'm on the right track and that what i've written make sense. All these internet theories and understanding.... YUCKS!
oh well..... it's gng to be full force for me from 10-6am for me... if in 8 hours i cannot finish my work... something is really wrong with me. Gng to drink V too.... yesh..... that energy drink.
anyways..... the only good thing that happened today is the delicious lunch i had. Kevin and I prepared Hainanese Chicken Rice, deliciously assisted by the wonderful packets of Prima Taste. The rice was just soo yummilicious and authentic. The chicken was tasty and the chilli... yes.. the garlic chilli.... YUMMMMM!!!!
alrght..... nothing much to update other than my panicky self... wish me luck people!
oh ya.. to those who are having their first paper tomorrow, GOOD LUCK AND BEST WISHES!
As much as I love watching this show and hope during the whole season I'll learn something out of the people and what MR. TRUMP advices on. But i must say.... tonight's episode had me filled with loads of irritation...
Anyway... here goes...
Okie.. how hard is it to choose an ice-cream flavour and sell ice-cream? I totally think it's almost similar to selling lemonade. U choose the best flavours (least complicated) and the best location to sell the product at the most reasonable price. These people.... especially the females (apex team) spent so much time thinking of fancy and some really stupid flavours. Minimise brainstorming and get ya butt in thinking suitable sales and marketing strategies to sell your product. I really have to agree the females were simple too unorganised and that frustrates me because they have presented themselves like total bitches. They nominated a project manager but yet they kept forcing themselves to be one as well. Yes the project manager did not exert her power onto the team, but the girls are simple sabotaging her. This is the sad truth of career minded, ambitious women... wanting to be first all the time. I think it's okay voicing your comments and opinions, but they acted like total bitches. And i am so sure they have not heard of mixing other food into the ice-cream... i was screaming to them... HOW ABOUT FERERRO ROCHE GELATO???? omigod!
Okie... the day of sales started.... the men were definately more hardworking then the female. They have appropriate clothing to sell the product. But guess what the females wanted to wear... i noticed a few of them wearing business clothing (knee length skirts or pants) and HIGH HEELS!!! you are selling ice-cream under the hot sun and you're wearing HIGH HEEL!!! That's seriously utter stupidity and being really so vain! You still can look good in flats... sports shoes.. mary janes??? Hello!!! hasn't cosmopolitan or VOGUE taught u how to dress for the occasion?
The females in the team are seriously the biggest back stabbers.. even I as a female feel shameful watching my fellow species doing what they do best. Bitching and gossiping and back stabbing. Is that how cruel the corporate world is.. or is it only happening in America? Females are suppose to be better in people skills and in bonding... it clearly shows... they are racist and the worst in female bonding. Each episode the Black woman had been the biggest target. Including the chinese or korean.
Then... there's the only man in the female team (BRADFORD). He must have mixed with the girls too much that he forgot to keep his mouth shut! Inability to shut up and mixed with his big ego.. caused him to be FIRED! serves him right.... honestly.. so what if you are the best player in the team.. and so what u did really well contributing to the sales of the ice-cream. You had a superb opportunity and u lost it just because u can't shut up and you're too proud of yourself. bull shit about general going in with the team... this is the corporate world.. not a battle field. I believe in the corporate world there is time for 'BROTHERHOOD' but there is a time to 'save your ass' and clearly this time.... u really outsmarted yourself. Now he's gng to regret that stupid decision the rest of his life. No point finding other excuses to make yourself feel better.... coz no matter what.... this decision of yours could have given u the chance to be the next trump apprentice. I totally agree why donald trump was so pissed at bradford.
Argh.... these people are suppose to be really good at what they do... but honestly they really do look like some idiots on the screen. As much as this show is greatly edited to show an angle of the whole picture... for them to even show this... actually shows something true abt these people. I feel so ashamed for the females. TOTAL BITCHES!
I hope next week they will learn to behave appropriately.
Before I study.... Okie.. thought i blog a bit before i study for my test tom. Speaking the test... i think it's gng to be damn tough. I have the topics that will come out for the test but they arent the questions proper. The just too general.. and it's not textbook theories that i have to study but the weekly readings of each topic. These readings sometimes don't answer the topic questions that might come out. Really dunno how man... it's 40% somemore.. and i dont know what my other marks are for my other assignments... so i aint sure.. if i can do well for this subject too. sigh......
Anyway......
Finally bought the right light bulb for my room. I have light!!! yeah!!!!! so deprived of light everytime i'm in my room... it really affects my concentration, not enough light reflected into my eyes. Went to chadstone this morning (borrowed kevin's car this week) to buy the bulbs and do some grocery shopping. This time i bought stuff with a mindset of healthy eating. I weighed myself at the gym yesterday... and oh no... not good news. Instead of maintaining... i actually gained!!! not tellin u guys how much.. but i think u can see from my current body shape and size how much i've gained. It was really a reality check for me. Last year this time... i was exercising regularly, and eating proper food like more vegetables and fruits. But now.... i eat pasta, instant mee, rice, chips (the worst!) and ice-cream. ARGH!!!!! I have till end of december (just before x'mas) to get back into the correct shape! Now after this week, i'll have more time to exercise.. so no more excuses to say.... no time.. or lazy.. or weather is bad!
U think gymig everyday would be a crazy thing to do?? But it's different kind of exercises each day.. working on the different parts of the body....
oh well...... i'll try...
Anyway...
I'm a bit worried for my family now.... dont worry nothing major happened.. just that they have some trouble getting a flight home after they come for my graduation. They are on waiting list for a few days and none of them seem quite positive. Asked help frm the people i know in SIA (melbourne) and they can't seem to help too because of certain pricing restrictions and the really popular time to fly out of melbourne. I really do want my family to come and attend my graduation... but now... i am even contemplating that they dont come at all. SAVE THE MONEY and SAVE THE HASSEL.... i dont wish them to lose their booking seats again just because they can't confirm a flight back home.
Sigh... also.... if they really can come here for my graduation.. i have to find a place for them to stay. I am contemplating of moving out of my place once my lease ends (which is end nov). Reason because all the other rooms in the house are occupied even till the time when my family comes down. So there is no room available for them. Plus the place will be overcrowded. I have 8 people in the house already... wouldn't want another 4 more to make it 12 in the house rite! Oh well.. i have been sourcing around to look a place to stay for a month (end nov to end dec). Hoping to find those 1 bedroom apartments with 1 living with kitchen, etc.. wouldn't mind paying a bit more for the extra space. Best places would be in the city or near city... no need to be clayton anymore except for my graduation itself.
But all these cannot be confirmed until my family confirms their flight here and back.
sigh.....
oh well...
My school term is ending soon.... this wednesday marks my last day of 2nd semester.. which also marks my last day for my whole school term in monash. Gonna miss this school. Miss the people... miss the place.. miss the weather.. miss the food.. miss the freedom.. miss the independence. My life here has really taught me many things, and showed me many realities in life. Shows me how important friends are when u're all alone in this big place. Taught me how to lead an independent, domestic lifestyle. How to save money and stinge some times, how to have fun, how to cook.. how to bake. I learned and past my driving here.. that marks another milestone in my life. Kevin's presence also made me realise how much he means to me, and that his company really matters alot to me. He being here has made my life even more fruitful and that i really enjoy my time with him here. I believe i've grew even closer to him here than when i was back home. Despite the long time we've been together.. i think this year itself has really proven to be the biggest test for us. I am really glad he came. I will definately miss the time i had with kevin.
alright... i think i shld head back to my books.... contemplating whether i shld go to library or stay at home. at least the television isn't in my room now.. that lessens the distractions. Okie.... i need to concentrate.
Updates! Okie... what happened since my last blog...
THURS:
My anniversary with kevin. Let's see... it's 3 yrs 8 months together. Since we got together till now, each 14th of the month we will celebrate our anniversary. I know most couples don't celebrate faithfully their monthly anniversary, but I guess for us it's a day for us to hmmm... be much nicer to each other (hahaha nah...) more of just to constantly remind ourselves of each other. It's also a day for us to look forward too; we get to go to a slightly fancy restaurant or head to somewhere to sightsee. For this month, kevin thought of the place to go and I thought of the place to eat. Day time we went to the Melbourne Zoo. It's a surprise frm kevin. Unfortunately the zoo had not many animals, that is they have only one or two of each animal on display. These animals must be really lonely. Nevertheless the walk round the zoo was nice. The weather was unpredictable at times (cold/hot) but all went well.
Dinner was at Docklands, this new development for melbourne. Think One Fullerton in Singapore, docklands is a similar concept, just that it includes realy nice apartments. We had turkish food at this place called Mecca Bah. It was really crowded for a Thursday night. We had to wait 45 mins for a table (they dont take reservations). The food was nice and unique, had lamb cous cous and pumpkin pizza (turkish style). The ambience felt good, and the decorations of the place was just impressive. I really wanted to try some of their desserts but kevin and i were just too full, and we were rushing home to watch the apprentice 2.
The rest of the night was just spent watching the apprentice and the DVD of thirteen gng on thirty.
Friday:
Nothing much happened this day. Went school to study for my test and some research for my other 2 assignments. Waited for kevin to finish work as well. Evening we headed to watch charmaine's play. I was kinda expecting a musical similar to the last yr's play charmaine was in. But the concept was more abstract. The students acted out four different piece of paintings, enacting stories based on the paintings. I must say the link and storyline for each painting was quite good. I did enjoy it, however, i thought charmaine shld deserve a more solid role and a talking role. I think she has the capabilities too. I hoped the lecturer or director was not biased against an asian student. Anyway.. that's just wat i thought. Anyway.. this play of hers is an assessed project which is 100% of her total marks. Pressure.. and i aint sure how they are too access this.
After the play.. went back to caufield lib to study. But midway through all these.. my stomach didnt feel all too good. I felt really bloated and just didnt feel all that well. Went home in the end.
Sat:
Again.. nothing much happened, except was studying for the test and watching abit of the caufield cup (horse racing). Í think this spring carnival thing is really cool... everyone dressed up for it.. all the ladies in pretty frocks and lovely spring hats. Men in suits and looking all suave and confident. The races were quite exciting... i think if i betted on some races.. it'll make it even more interesting. This is just an introductory stage for the actual spring carnival (melbourne cup day). It's going to be even bigger during the 4 cup races. I hope i can go for one of it.... at least i've soaked myself into melbourne culture.
Went chadstone later in the evening to buy some groceries, so badly wanted to cook dinner tonight after all the take aways and junk food i had this week. We bought marinated chicken and baked it. Bought some chicken breast to cook soup as well, bought some cheap sushi as well. It was quite a good dinner. Later on i'll be baking some pudding. hehehe... kitchen therapy really works.
Right now... i'll hit back to my books and hope something hits into my head... and preferabally start work on my other assignments as well.
More updates tom... and more pics to put up frm mel zoo soon.
My last sem is ending soon. Time really flew past fast. In one and a half weeks time, my uni life officially ends. I do have one paper, but that's just one day. Other than that... my uni life... my life as an undergraduate ends. As much as i hate all the assignments, tests and exams... i love student life. I have so much free time... stress out only during the school terms. Party as much as i want... sleep as much as i wish.... all these soon will be over. My working life has to begin soon. The money will be good and it will come in handy... but... still nothing beats a student life.
As I look back past these 2 years of school.. it had been good. But I won't write a tribute to school yet.. i will reserve that till later.
I will miss school... i will miss walking to school... i will miss skipping lectures.. i will miss falling asleep in class... i will miss not contributing my thoughts to class or be amused with the nonsense some people say doing class participation.
I do miss Singapore... but i think i'll really miss Melbourne. Melbourne is a great place to be in... and i can vouch for it. It is just filled with alot of character and spirit.... so much culture and happenings. The weather hasn't been all that good... but i kinda like the cold too.
I'm glad to have met all the people i've met or encountered... they all contributed to my student life in melbourne... no matter how good or bad these encounters can be... they are part of my milestone in life.
Growing up is hard.... I did that for 21 years of my life.... now... I have to definately grow up much more once i enter the work world. I hope it'll be as kind as the student life.
oh well... that's for me to fret later...
I will miss school.... i will miss monash... i will miss my friends... and i will miss my life here in melbourne.
Stupid school computer system!! Here i am in clayton matheson lib doin my work for a presentation tomorrow, and what better way to stress me further than having the stupid computer hanging on me. This is just great! I can use the Internet but i cannot use the microsoft word. I dunno what's wrong... but i really need it to start working again.
I really hope what i have been working on is saved in my U drive, if not... i'll go bonkers!
dammn it!
technology... sometimes u really can't rely on it. hmmm... but then again..... UNIVERSITY.... sometimes they just suck ya money and dont use those money in good use... maybe like ... upgrade all the computers... make the network connection faster... but more computers....
okie... microsoft word is really not working... got to go and reboot.
Yet another lazy weekend! The week had been really really bad.... bad in the sense that I did not do much work at all!!! Hai.... i feel so guilty. Okie.. i did blame my tiredness which has been the prime reason on my lack of motivation to do work. I finally bought IRON tablets to combat that lack of blood in me. I decided to go gym more often too to enhance my oxygen circulation as well. So hopefully for the next couple of weeks, my body system will improve and I will be back on track again to good health and better concentration.
Anyways.... a lil update on what happened since my last posting. Btw... the comments i received frm the previous postings had been really interesting.... eheheh... hmmmm... it is really a wonder who actually reads my blog and who those people are. But nevertheless... i was humoured by those comments.
Fri:
Finally met up with my parents' friends who came to visit melbourne. Went to lygon street for dinner. It was horrible! I felt so bad bringing them there to eat such an expensive meal, horrible italian service and crap food! The bill must have been high.... sigh. Kevin came along as well, so there were four of us. We did however had a pretty good conversation and we saw 2 car accidents just infront of us. TWO ACCIDENTS in 10 mins! how cool is that! Shld have taken down the car number plate and bet on those numbers!
After dinner, brought them to the famous roche gelatissimo shop. Yummmmmm... they loved it!! ahhaahha so glad at least they liked something. But that night was so cold.. gelato wasn't such a good idea as a dessert too. The night was still rather young.. so I thought it;'ll be good to bring them around some places they didn't visit. It's amazing that they didn't go to alot of places. Drove past smith street, victoria street, chapel street, st. kilda road and last stop docklands. Well, at least they can tell people that they actually did go to those places, but just not set foot on them.
Sat:
It's SAM's new committee first ever activity, the TULIP FESTIVAL. So about late morning, kevin and myself joined the others to go to the tulip festival at lilydale. The weather didnt look all that good; it was cloudy and windy. The journey was not bad... suburb tour and that kevin and i had the comfort of keith's car. Hhehe we skipped the thrifty van for keith's car.
Anyway... we arrived the tulip festival in about 1hr, the flowers were really nice... the colours were awesome. The only thing was that the place wasn't as big as i thought it would be. Nevertheless, i had a nice stroll with kevin. Right after tulip festival, the whole group went up to mt. dandenong. it would had been a great place for the participants to see a great view of melbourne, but stupid observatory deck was under constructions. Sigh.... disappointing. Headed to Olinda for pies.. it was rather yum. Headed back to school after... and waited till about dinner time where we headed to box hill for korean bbq! It's been really awhile since I had korean bbq. The food was good, even better because of the great company. We had bubble tea as well at happy cup and played a round of bluff. I would say the whole day was a great day of activities and bonding.
Sun (today):
Woke up super late despite sleeping early. Was suppose to watch YOU GOT SERVED in the city at 12.55pm, but kevin forgot to bring the tickets out, so we decided to detour to school first to do some work and then head down to city to catch the 5.10pm show.
Well.. it's 2.45pm and i have not touched any of my work yet, except for photocopying some stuff for my consultation on wednesday. I'm panicking abit for my presentation on tuesday. Still waiting for alvina to call me to arrange to meet up to settle on the presentation. Sigh.... 2 weeks more... 2 weeks!!!
Okie... will update the rest of my afternoon tomorrow.
WHY AM I SO TIRED??? I really dunno why i'm feeling so tired these days. It's really weird and it's worrying me. I dont think it's the lack of sleep... coz i'm use to sleeping lesser hours. I feel awake sometimes... but all of a sudden I'll feel sleepy and lethargic. I have been exercising... well... at least i'm moving ard.
What could be the problem? Lack of oxygen? Lack of Iron? Falling ill or am I already ill? Some kind of symptoms? Whatever it is... it's really affecting me. It's affecting my attention towards my school work, my motivation and all. I only want to lie down and sleep or NUA. It can't be fatigue... I mean.. i think i rested well at home during the one week holiday.
Is it because i'm not out enough?? can't be......
sigh....
what's wrong!!!!!!!
I need some kind of energising drink or something.....
Another bad 'grades' semester Hai... just received an assignment today, and the grade.. well wasn't very good. I am really worried for my other assignments. This semester has really been alot of play.. lack of concentration and motivation... i hate this feeling.. but i feel it's too late to do anything. Maybe why i'm feeling to disappointed with myself is because of kevin's highly good grades semester. He has 2 HDs in a matter of 2 weeks. Good on him.. seriously i am happy and proud for him.. but it simply proves something about myself. He and I have almost the same kind of play.. maybe I enjoy the life more... but it shows... that he has indeed put more effort in his work than me when needed.
It is really quite a disappointing semester and i have no one to blame but me. It is my last semester and honestly.. it hasn't been the best as well. It is my last chance to do well.. but i've really wasted that chance. Now...even at this moment.. with guilt.. am still slacking my monday nights away.. knowing how many other assignments i have the next few weeks. argh!!! i shld constantly slap myself to face the reality.
I am such a lazy pig.. have been all my life... dammn...... and i am not even improving. I need to feel motivated.... really motivated.... i need a new burst of energy.. to get started with work. It really doesn't help that my writing skills sucks big time. I am unable to communicate my ideas properly in writing and put across the message right on my essay. So much for calling myself a communications student. What have i learned since poly till now???? I DUNNO!!!
oH WELL.... i have to start cracking... last chance.... i cannot give up....!!! I must graduate this semester feeling good about my grades!
Me have 3G phone too!!! Yep yep..I have joined in the 3G gang! hehehe... got a present today from kevin... it was a surprise... and it turned out to be the NOKIA 7600. So happy!! ehehehe..... finally... i have the THREE phone. I had a THREE line for a while already, just never had a phone for it, but now i do! People.. please jot down the new no. :0400690277 . Please note that I still have my optus line, so those with optus.. please call optus, those with three line.. please call three.
Hee... so excited everytime i have a new phone. New functions to play with... this phone is pretty cool... it's an mp3 player as well.. now i can store my fav songs in it. More so... i can bring back the phone to SG and use a normal sim card for it! hehe... ye!
Okok.. now updates about my life over the past two days...
Yesterday:
I went out with Alvina.. finally had a chance to hang out with her.. shopping.. eating.. gossiping.. like good old times. We went Chapel Street... since i had some stuff to do there. We shopped for a while.. Alvina was on a roll. Rich woman. We had lunch at chapellis, then continued walking ard till the shops closed. I bought myself 2 tops.. cheap and damn cool... One top has a sentence that goes "Please do not feed the models"and the othr is a FCUK top that writes" Fcukin bigtits"but in dunkin donuts font and colour. Hhehehe... hope i can carry that off! hehehe
We had cakes at Grecos... had their homemade Tiramisu.. it was pretty yummy. We gossipped abt loads of things... heheh it was just a nice time. I was glad i met up with her.... really am.
Today:
Had to wake up early to fetch kevin... coz we're meeting his uncle to go footscray and vic market. Footscray.. well.. heard it was quite a notorious place... worst than springvale.. loads of robbery and bad people. But it didn't seem that bad.... maybe coz it was in the morning. Shopped ard there, ate quite good food too.. then headed to vic market. Didn't really spend alot of time there... just buy some meat and we're off.
Nothing much happened after that... sent everyone back... then headed to moorabin to see cars.. kevin's thinking of trading his car for something smaller. But everyone valued it quite little... it was nuts. Some problems with the car as well.. i'm not sure exactly what.. but it seems the engine is almost gone. After that.. we headed home to rest for awhile.. then headed to kevin's exhouse for dinner with his ex-housemates. It was quite a good dinner, nothing beats home cooked food!
Well that's basically my life the past two days.... so sad my one week break is ending.. Now i'm beginning to worry for my other assignments. Hai... almost graduating and i'm slacking so much. I really hope i can pass all assignments.
