Counting down to one week break

Counting down to one week break

Time really fly ; Next week is week six and its the week before my semester break . Thus , I got bomb by many test ... I have four test for the coming week and I hasn't prepared for it . Plus there are assignments due next week . Seems like I can't go window shop anymore ...

Yesterday , when I was skyping(???) with my mum and sister , my mum said , " Tomorrow its Friday right ? So you will go shopping again right ? " . I replied , " No , I will be studying because there are many tests coming up . ". Today , Nicole ( my hong kong friend ) and I arranged to get graph paper together from the main street . 

After we meet up , she asked if I had something on later . Then I said no . So I followed her to get her stuff without knowing where is the place . Then she said we are going to take the tram . Then I said I do not have a ticket with me . Then she said you don't need a ticket . Then I thought awhile and asked whether are we allowed to board the bus without ticket . 

She explained there is this tram specially for tourist . It operates within the city and its free of charge . She also said , as long as I don't see a ticketing machine , it means that the tram is for free . So , off we went to the Spencer street . Its very near Southern Cross Station . After looking for pre-paid Visa Card but she didn't get because it has now become cardless , which mean its electronic visa card , its for online purchases . She need one that she can cash it . 

Then we head to the factory outlet to shop a little because today is Friday and the shops closed much later . Normally its 5-6 pm , Friday will be 8-9 pm . So we went round shopping . And we went on shoe hunting . She looked for a flat shiny plastic pointed shoes while I shopped for another boots ! Hehe , as I observed , 90% of asian girls who come Melbourne will get a pair of boots . This time , its flat boots , means no heels type . I was so lucky , my sister was not around when I skyped with my mum , else she will make noise and start using calculator to calculate for me how much it cost in Singapore dollar . 

I am talking about boots , it will be a foreign topic to you all because in Singapore , you don't need a pair ! But it good to know a little right ? Boots are not worn just because it look nice on your legs , but also its helps to keep your lets warm . You must be thinking , ' Excuses ' . Nope , its not , it is very cosy because I tuck my jeans inside it too , so its like double layer . 

Some of you must be thinking , ' Uh ? I thought you just bought one , one month ago ' . Ya , that pair , the heel show signs of worn out and my mum asked me to get another pair without heel one . Just now when I show her , she keep emphasizing at looking at the side profile to see whether there is any heel and she is please with what she saw .

I got both my boots at AUD$40 , one is at super market and the new one at factory outlet . The cheapest pair of boots , not talking about the short ones , at the main street cost at least $90 after discount . I got mine cheaper than market price because it was on sale and it was not from a shoe shop . Ya , so those who want to get boots , please remember this important tip .

Then after shopping at factory outlet , we realized that we haven't go graph paper and ofXXXXwXXXX closed at 9 pm , so walked for 25 minutes to Queen Victoria Square to get it . Then we head to Asian Groceries shop because Nicole wants to make Tang Yuan to eat . End up , I was tempted and I got those instant ones .

Then we head to Hungry JXXX for dinner . It is something like Burger XXXX . I am in loved with the beef burger , it is much better than the Bacon and Beef burger from MXX . Then , we head to supermarket to stock up our food supply and head back to hostel .

On our way back , we saw a guy peeing near the dustbin . And from then on , I develop a phobia to walk near the dustbin because someone might had pee there before . His group of friends disturbed him while he was peeing by asking him what is he doing .

The rest of the other weekdays , its was mundane . I went to school , then to library , then back to hostel . Manage to hand in one lab report and one assignment ...

All for tonight , I am tired and wants to sleep le ...

Don't know what to blog about ...

Don't know what to blog about ...

Today is the last day of the week , I am still left with a pile of assignments . It took me hours to do one . And I had not finish that one . I am prepared to send it for checking whereby my lecturer is going to ROAR . Because most of it is wrong . Muhahaha . Maybe I show her after class end . Then she will be in bad mood and will scold the next class to vent her frustration ! Or maybe she had fainted because she saw what I had done for the assignment .


This week I did not cook !So on monday night , I left half loaf of bread and I couldn't decide to eat out or finish the loaf . I called home to ask my mum . Mum said eat out lor , keep the bread for tomorrow's breakfast . Me , alone went out to search for food and landed at Nandos . I looked at the menu for a long tyme and decided on 5 pieces of chicken wing . Its was not a bad choice ! The chicken wing with the BBQ sauce was delicious !

Then , on Tuesday , my cousin and I hangout awhile . Initially , she told me she was at brouke street , shopping at supree . I was lazy to walk to that the street . Then , after I hang up the phone , I realised she said supree ! Few days ago , I was chatting with Val and she asked me about this place . Its a place where they sell clothes ! I quickly called my cousin again and told her wait for me ! I am coming !

Then , when I reached there . They sell lots of clothes . To the extend that I don't feel like looking because there is too many of them ! I saw several dresses I like but they isn't any where for me to wear it to . The discount section was super cheap . Price range from AUD$5-AUD$15 .Then me and my cousin went for dinner and drank bubble tea . The dinner is okie . My cousin was saying that she feeling sleepy . So I treat for to drink bubble tea , so that she can bring it to lecture and drink it . The milk tea taste like condense milk , no tea flavour at all !

On Wednesday , I ate the yam bun . I think its average because the yam is not sweet enough . And I finish the entire pack by that day . I sneak out to have dinner outside again . Muhahaha ! To buy dustpan and brush was an excuse . I went to my favourite Jap shop to have a meal . But I made a bad move . I shouldn't had ordered fried chicken with curry sauce . The curry sauce is nice but the fried chicken is not ...

Bonus Question : GUESS how much is the dustpan and brush with a size of a small exercise book ........ its $1 ! ~

On Thursday , its was a usual tired day , so I stayed at home and eat bread with ham . Finish it all in a day ! I had a tiring day so after I had bath , I didn't do work straight away . I went down to the communal area to watch cable TV . I made someone new from Holland . Wooo~ she is cool and friendly ! I watched Janice Dick. Modeling Agency . I liked her , she don't regard her models as models but also like her children . She didn't want them to go down the road like she used to . Initially , I thought she as a big-time 38 . But after watching the show , I changed my opinion of her .

Today , I started the day off with looking for my lecturer but she wasn't around . Judging from the queue , I think it will be long so I head to library to do my math quiz . I taught my self to use a program and it helped me to score good grades . Its like offsetting my poor results from the previous test . I guess tonight , I am out for dinner again .

Chao~ off to have lunch before my next lesson starts ! Hope to see you all hanging around my blog and leaving tags messages .

Dotz ... Uni Life ... so tough ...

Dotz ... Uni Life ... so tough ...

I had been wondering , whether taking up four modules is too heavy for me . I am always feeling so drained . I had 22 hours of school to attend . My tutorials and assignments are piling up and I don't feel like doing them . It is so not ME . 

Every time I wanted to start my work , I feel so tired that I nap a little and ended up sleeping . Gosh , I feel so drain . I try to slack a little so I do not feel stress and tense . But the thought of my tutorials kept piling up , I feel so stress . I don't know how it will be . I am able to cope with my daily with my daily life but school stuff is so tough . I don't know how's the future like . But I will try my best so that my parents' money won't go down the drain .

Let's blog about something happier . My family is coming over Australia for a holiday . The thought of seeing them again makes me happy ! Guess what , I had already made plans after my semester exams end . You could see how much I wanted this semester to end . My mum is so afraid that I couldn't come home on my own from Australia and so they wanted to come over and bring me home and at the same time visit Australia .

Friends I made in Australia , Ally ( Australian ) , Nicole ( Hongkonger ) and Grace ( Singaporean ) . So , school life not so bad . Manage to talk to them , sit with them during lectures and eat lunch in school with them . 

Weekends , I am on my own . I finish my laundry , cooked my lunch then I head out the streets . Then buy my stuff then I head back to hostel , have my dinner . I will start to study . Sunday , I will wake up late , head out to Queen Victoria Market , then I head back to hostel to load the stuff . Then I head out for lunch/dinner . Then watch TV and study . Sometime ironing .

The bad buy of the week . I was craving for prawns and so I went to Queen Victoria Market to get fresh prawn . Then when I want to cooked it . I realized there is a problem . I don't know how to cook it . Luckily , I was on the skype with my family . Then mum said , its better to overcook it than to eat it raw . So I cooked the prawns for 1.5 hours . And it stinks my room . 

It took me a bottle of air fresher , open my windows big and 2 days so that the smell will slowly diffuse . 

Since monday , I had cooked for two days . I will cooked again on Friday and Saturday . If there are excess vegetables , I might cook on Sunday . Ya , so this is the current planning for cooking .

Stuff that I am missing out , most probably is many of your 21st birthday . " Happy Birthday Val!  " . I can't celebrate with you but I know your LIANG LIANG had gave you a wonderful celebration !

All for today then , bye all~

Its the 222th post !

Its the 222th post !

Time flys ... I had been blogging for 3 years and now I have come to my 222th post ! Can't believe it because I didn't know that I am going to blog so long and so much . I am now waiting for a lecture recording to be uploaded ans so, I might as well take this opportunity to update my blog !

This is my 2nd week of school . Still trying to cope with my studies . As for daily life , still managable . I had already had a set routine like when I will cook and when will I not cook . You all must be thinking ," Cook ? Did she said cook ? " . Yes , I am cooking regularly . I still having boil vegetables and LXX CXX KXX oyster sauce . Then , I will have some ready to be eaten chicken , from the supermarket . Weekends , I will go to Queen Victoria Market to stock up my supplies for the next week and also get Salmon so that I can have Salmon shashimi. It don't taste as good as the Japan ones but they are at least very fresh.

I don't cook everyday because of my time-table . I need 1 hr to cook and 15 minutes to eat . So some classes have 1 hour break in between , then I will not be cooking . I will eat out . I can have many variety to choose from , fast food to cooked food . I miss the Royal Umbrella rice . The rice here are not fragrant . Luckily the oyster sauce cover the smell up .

Then , on friday . I will clean the room up and wash toilet . And on Satureday , wash my clothes . So basically , this is my rountine .

Food critic time : I tired eating school canteen stuff. Its not expensive compared to the food courts in the city . I tired cooked rice and the main building and burgur and my engineering building. It was not bad . Then earlier, my cousin and I also went to another small Japaneese food store . It was delicious !

As for my " entertainment " , I shop regurlarly . I goes to supermarket regurlarly to stock up some food and essentials . I feel like trying the desserts but till I slim down .

Please take note : If I am online and not responding to your MSN messages . It means that I am skyping with my family . Do be patient and join the queeue . You can skype me if you want . I have sent you all the emails to contact me .

The recorded lecture is still not ready for download ! I will have to continue waiting then . Bye people !
