Blog post of a drama princess

Blog post of a drama princess

Thursday ( 24/06 )

Its was the last day of my exams . Can't wait for it to end . The dynamics paper is very tough . Lecturer is nice as he give two repeated questions . At the end of the exam , everyone shook our head . Hahas ... gone case ! Good thing results will be released on 13th July . Thus supplementary paper will be much later .

After my exams , I called Nicole and asked her whether she had any plans . We had dinner with her friends from Hong Kong aka my class mates aka my future room mates . Funny relationship yet I have mix feeling delcaration them as friends . To me , they are Nicole 's friends . To them , I am Nicole's friend . Maybe one day , they are my friends .

After dinner , Nicole and I went to watch Transformer . Its very nice ! Though its 2 and half hours . I felt like its 1 hour only ! Its sad at some parts when _______________ . But there are also funny parts like ______________ . I don't want to spoil it for those who hasn't watch it .

Then after movie , Nicole went to my room to help me with my packing . Stay over night because she is scared that I cannot wake up in time for my bus pick-up .

Friday ( 25/06 )

Bus picked me up and went to airport . Then I flew to Sydney to transit to Singapore . When I reached Sydney , I was told that my baggage is still at Sydney Qantas terminal. The SQ staff advise me to speak to Qantas baggage center . The male receptionist was rude and nasty to me . He insisted me to go back to the Qantas terminal and get my baggage myself when it was 2 and half hours to boarding time and the bus interval is 20 minutes . So I went over there to get it .

When I was at the Qantas Bus Terminal , a nice check-in clerk advise me that I would not make it in time for my boarding if I head to the Qantas terminal and helped me to make some contacts and settle my baggage for me . She is very sincere and even helped me to keep track of my baggage so that they will be able to send it to me at the earliest flight . I was touched by what she did for me . It was out of her job scoop and helped me with it .

I went back to Singapore Airlines counter to inform them that my baggage will not be going on this flight . Singapore Airlines side also inform their supervisor about this accident . The staff asked me what am I going to do without my baggage . I told them , its ok , after all I am heading back home .

I called Dad about it , he wasn't surprise ! He asked me whether is there any expensive stuff inside , I replied my levis jeans and the bras . He asked if I get free upgrade . I replied him , good luck don't always come . Then I called sis , she said if everything goes smoothly then its a miracle . She also asked if there is any expensive stuff . I called my mum about it , apparently news had already reached her . She said , those lost stuff can buy them again .

I went to ate something , then head to my boarding gate . Since I am sitting A380 upper deck , I went to another waiting area . There were only about 70 people . It was about boarding time , then suddenly there is this announcement , ' Miss Belinda Tan , if you are here , could you please contact our ground staff . ' I quickly stood up , super lots of eyes stare at me and their eyes followed me to the front desk of the boarding gate till I get back . I guess someone called them to check whether I am at the boarding gate , whether my boarding pass is chopped and stuff like that . I returned to my seat . Those 70 pairs of eyes still looking at me . I looked on the floor to avoid eye contact with them .

Board the plane and arrived at Changi Airport . Called sis , she asked me to walk around the airport to kill time . Since I don't have any baggage to collect . I took my own time to walk around . Checkout my all time favorite , BXXXXXXX . Then pass the immigration and bought alcohol for my friend . Then go to the belt to check whether my baggage is there . By the time I reached , there is only 7-8 bags left . I was asking around , whether its the belt for my flight . The person asked whether those here . I replied No and explained , I guess its might be next flight or next next flight . Then I asked him where can is the baggage claim counter . Then the person called out to his co-worker , ' She is here ! ' .

I was very very stunned ! He too very stunned . He double checked my identity again and start asking me some questions . He said , ' Actually , I am very confused . Before Melbourne , where are you ar ? ' . Then I explained , ' I was studying at Melbourne , coming back for holiday . ' I guess he was trying to recover from his shock , he had been waiting for me since baggages are released . He expect a stressful passenger , face-blacken whining away . To his surprise , he saw someone very clam, still can do a little shopping . He brought me to a clerk , where they arranged delivery to my house . He even asked me where am I from till I flash my Singapore passport . Then he looked too very puzzled . I think he never seen someone so calm after losing a 23 kg bag . He said that my baggage is found and it is on the 6 am flight . It will be delivered to me and no charges for the delivery .

Saturday ( 27/06 )

My baggage finally arrived . They called my handphone but I did not pick up . Then they called my residence , my mum picked it up and my sister woke me from my sleep ! They delivered by early noon , I was bathing at the time . When I came down from my room to the dinning room , I realized my bag is ripped apart . Only my clothes are left in the baggage . I now seriously don't know where are the food ! They also start munching on potato chips .

After that we head out . Shall not disclose where I go out else it will trigger a panicked . I can only say , I went out responsibly . I record where I went , took my temperature regularly . Very troublesome , luckily dad drove us around so I need not record which public transport I took . Else it is really very very troublesome .

Yesterday , I went out with little brother to watch transformer again ! Nice ! Ate sweet pop-corns because pop corns at melbourne are salty ones .

All from me for today .... bye ...

My dreams ( What I dreamt at night )

My dreams ( What I dreamt at night )

Recently , its seem I had lots in my mind . I had at least two different dreams at night and I don't really like waking up to realized its a dream . I forgotten what I dreamt for the past few nights . But I remembered what I had dreamt last night . My first dream was family and I alighting a tour bus and heading to the fast food restaurant . In my dream , I did not saw my Dad and Brother , but I am sure they are with us on the tour . Then I was thinking what to eat at Xacdonalds , its so strange . It have only two types of burger , fillet-o-fish and Mc-chicken with nice chicken fillet , not like those in Xacs, Guild fries and other fried stuff , I only remember those I wanted to eat .

I ordered the two types of burgers , a meal and an apple pie. But I need not carry them because Sis helped me carry it . Strangely , I need not pay . Sis child me for ordering so much and wanted me to finish eating it . Then I saw Mum , she was asking some other people in the tour about where to get nice prawns . I was puzzled . Then I asked my mum to share the fast food with me because I ordered too much and she didn't order anything .

Then I was woke up by slamming of doors . Apparently , some residents are going home . I so jealous . I tried to get back to sleep .

Then I dreamt about my sister bringing me to a saloon that included facial . After having my hair washed , I can't stand waiting and my face is black. Waiting makes me paranoid . I am so lazy to even think about my next move after washing my hair . Sis made a wise choice by not asking me to chop off my hair , instead she asked me to do facial .

So a nice sales person brought me to do some cleaning thing . She apply some scrub on my face and my pimple scars are almost all gone . The she recommend another professional to teach me about make up . So the professional started off by oozing out white heads off my face . And I woke up by another slamming of doors . I guess , its time for them to do marketing at Victoria Market .

Me ... and my nice sleep . Nowadays ,I hardly sleep through the night . I guess its because every one is eager to get back home so they bought the earliest tickets and I am awaken by those slamming of doors . I hope its my turn soon . After all I will be back by X days . Sister had already planned some stuff for me . For the weekend I am back , we will have uncle weirdo and dim sum buffet .

There is a staggering increase in number of swine flu cases in Victorian , but there are still 100s of people entering Singapore without been caught by the virus . If I got it , I was be very very very unlucky .

For those who are scared of dying real soon by catching some virus from me , I say Good Luck to you then . As for precaution , I had bought a N95 mask to wear it from the Melbourne to Singapore . I still find it ugly . And its pure ugly . If I do not have any flu , cough , fever or any other symptoms on that day, I will resume my daily ritual and bounce around . I will officially free myself from checking my temperature , thrice per day after a week .Please don't tell me this and that , like I have to quarantine myself for seven days from the day I am back , I will use my hidden knowledge of vulgarities like there is no tomorrow .

Got to admit , the final paragraph is the meanest in my entire blog . I'm loving it ! Nice one , Belinda .Two more papers to go , X more days to home . Packing my luggage today , else last minute packing is not a good thing !

Second paper ...

Second paper ...

Got to say , another suck paper . I spend one hour on the first question . When I realized I don't have enough time . I panicked and drifted through the paper . I see what is asked for and just did it blindly . I don't even remember subbing in the value . I just write and write . I drop my pen when the examiner said its time up . I didn't even bother to look through it because I knew my fate is sealed . I slot the question paper inside and waited for it to be collected . Packed my stuff and search for Nicole in the big big examination hall .

Manage to spot her when she is outside . Spoke to Felisha briefly , she was confident to pass . I seriously feel that I am in deep trouble . I seriously don't know what to feel(anxious ? worried ? scared ?) , after all I did my best that I can . Got to face it I guess . Then we head for dinner . I broke my XXXing plan , I finish the food . Luckily is not rice .

Head back home , bath and watch TV . I was watching a reality show , ' Homemade ' . Its about 10 designers competing against each other in designing a home . This team was suppose to win but because the female owner ( I seriously think she is ____ , her husband was ever ready to let it go , if she seriously does not like it , she could have renovate it herself after the show , after all the competitors are doing it for free ! ) dislike the kitchen due to some issues . That team was declare the losing team . The losing team will have one of its member eliminated . The other team mate explained to the judges that it was not their fault because they didn't know till much latter . The owner didn't emphasis , just said that she loved it , so the designers thought its the likes and dislikes issues , therefore it can be compromise . The team mate that is doing the kitchen was eliminated . The other team mate tried to take her place for elimination but the judges would not allow . I was super touched !

The usual two and the half man . Seriously , it never fails to bring laughter to me . I was laughing freakily loud ! If you happen to find videos of it . Do watch !

Today, I finally clean my room ! Its kind of dirty after more than one week . I can't imagine Evan's room because she said cleaning a room once every two weeks is good enough . I feel fresh in it ! The dust inside my room was horribly thick .

Currently , I am having a little rest before heading to my books . Dynamics is a hurdle for me . I need to pass it !

I just got a confirmation that I will be heading back . There are tons of food I want to eat and tons of stuff I want to do . But I am kind of scare to go back . First , I fail to buy my tickets earlier , so I won't be flying directly to Singapore . I will first fly to Sydney , then to Singapore . Kind of scary , because I need to transfer train . Its not like Singapore . If I have to pay for the train ticket so I am expecting it to be quite a distance .

Next , the swine flu . People coming back from Melbourne are getting swine flu . Apparently , I will be the carrier instead of the infected one . I am afraid passing on to my family . As for my friends , I guess I might quarantine myself a week before meeting you all . I guess thermometer and mask is a must now . The airport is filled with virus I guess .

All for now , I better go bath , meeting Nicole for dinner , hope I would not break my plan again ! Byeeeee .

The rambles ...

The rambles ...

I am finally out from my vegetarian style of meal . All thanks to Mr Campbell ! He had invented a ready meat dish . Today , I had stewed beef . It is so freaky delicious ! Just that and rice makes one meal . After I finish my lunch , Nicole suddenly called me and asked me about dinner. So I quickly open all my existing can food and prepared a meal . We had stewed beef , corn and campbell mushroom soup .

After dinner , she stayed at my room and we chatted till 2 am ! Had a great time . Just that I am on a XXXX , so we didn't snack or eat dessert . Manage to have some leftovers , which meant I need not cook anything tomorrow !

After my Accounts paper , I seem to lose all the concentration to study . I will watch television at 7 pm till 12 am , then head to bed . Feeling guilty right now . I guess I will start my regime as soon as possible .

Recently , I didn't had a good night sleep . I guess its because of my pillow . I sprain my neck and had been feeling the sore for 3 days . Any bed or pillow fair in Singapore . Talking about fair , there is IT fair in Singapore but I miss that out again . I am so sad .

Yesterday , Dad called me ! We had a nice chat . He told me that N97 is out in Singapore . I am so glad . I can't wait to lay my hands on it ! Will Dad get for me ... I really don't know . I had not make up my mind , I-phone , N97 or blackberry . Miss XX blogged about how nice blackberry is , I was very tempted to get one too ! The advertisement on I-phone also look tempting . But I been looking to N97 for a long time . I seriously don't know .

2 more day to my next exam . Wish me good luck ! All for now !

My first exam ...

My first exam ... 

Eeeeee ... my accounts paper suck a lot ! It seems to be crap paper , I told my mum is like toilet paper , you used it and throw it away instantly . We were all given 15 minutes to read the questions . I was freaky confident about it . 

When I did it , I was breezing through from Question 1 to 3 . When its Question 4 , I realized its holy crap . Its 20 marks and I didn't have the confidence to nail it because its some data and it asked as to evaluate it . So I did a crap work out of it . Then I look back the marks allocated for the previous question , much work to be done yet little marks allocated .

I was thinking to myself , a Higher distinction grade is not possible now . Had to carry on and work through the rest . 

After doing the test for two hours , the information gets more and more distorted .  Follow my lecturer's tip and use my pencil and do BIG CROSS OUT  . It feels so good . Manage to check through my paper once and caught some of my careless mistakes . Stop myself 5 minutes before time . Start packing my stuff up and prepare to leave . 

The invigilator keep pick on me . He refuse to let me have my pencil box on the table even I open it up to show him that there is no paper inside . I have to spend 0.01% of my brain cells to think what I need during the exams , I almost empty my pencil box . Then  he refuse to let me put my tissue pouch on the table . So I had to take out my tissue paper . Whatever ... shall do what ever it takes to be compliance with the exam rules . 

Super lots of people taking accounting exam . I couldn't even find my friends . I mange to see two class mates . 

Weather here is crazy , its like suddenly heavy rain , then next moment , big sunny sun . Then heavy rain again ... terrible weather ... 

All for today , I hope for a better weather tomorrow ...

Exams ...

Exams ...

3 more days to my first exams ... 4 papers to go ... 19 more days for my semester exams to come to an end . But , exams are not my very concern . I am staying in Melbourne , the state that is greatly hit by Swine Flu . Are there going to be exams ? How clean is the air I am breathing . Most importantly , will I be able to go home . I wanted to go home badly . 

My life did changed due to swine flu . I had phobia of going out . Since they are 800 + people in Victoria that has it and majority of them are in Melbourne . There is a possibility of me getting in contact with someone that has swine flu or a carrier . I am just scared . 

I checked my school email everyday to see if the exams will be cancelled . Because my exams are held in those big sports hall that can house up to 2000 people . I am so scared ... 

Yesterday , I went out with Nicole to get thermometer and mask . I went to get it because my sister and my mum urged to get it . Just in case it will be sold out like in Singapore . I went to take a look and decided not to get it . The mask is just pure ugly . Its not like those paper ones , its those moulded mask , like those teddy bear nose and mouth . Nope ... Not getting it , just pure ugly .

As for my studies part , I manage to concentrate more and more each day . I learning to like the course and understand the concept . I am not confident whether I have grasp the topic till I have done the tutorial . Hope good news for me . 

Updates on my blog will be lesser unless it is those major ones . Most of my time will be spend on studying . Wish me all the best k ? 

All for now ... byeee and I miss Singapore ...

Blog is not abandoned ...

Blog is not abandoned ... 

For the past few days , I had been busy with my school stuff. Currently , I had just finish submitting all my stuff to the school . By right , the actual dateline is last Friday . But there are too much stuff due on the same day . I work through the weekends to clear it . Boring ... School is boring ... I wanna go home ! 

I don't feel like uploading pictures of me , I guess I had been bloated by the quantity food here . I miss the after breakup Me . The refuse to eat Me . I hope I can slim down as soon as possible . I wish I can still wear nice clothes . 

Today is the second day of my study week and I had not started studying . I finish cleaning my room on Monday and washing the truck load of clothes today . Then I meet Nicole to shop for grocery . Then back to my beauty regime . Hahas ...

For the past few days , I had been busy with school stuff . Trying to finish up all assignments and hand it up on Monday . The presentation on Friday suck . Mainly because I only left 50 seconds for my part . I only speak for 50 seconds when I am suppose to speak for 2.4 minutes . 

All thanks to Mr Z ! He said super lots of stuff in front and took away my time . He is going to let our group down . First , he did his powerpoint slides in class , he did not even do his part at home . Then when we met in the morning . A person with responsibility should have started doing his slides . He spend his time commenting on the picture I took . Then retook the picture. Then he did his slides when the other groups were presenting . The lecturer will mark us down for not paying attention during other group's presentation . 

When it is our turn to present , he dropped a bomb . He said he had even added a slide after me called ' Reflection ' . I knew he want to take on the questions slides . I did not say anything because the lecturers were there , it will make us look bad . As the presentations went on , I realized he deleted some other group member's slide . We were a little shock and tried to work on it smoothly . When its my turn , as I am the last speaker , I got cut . I was a little happy because , there is two ' Reflection ' slide in the presentation . It doesn't look good on us so I felt that its better I got cut during the conclusion , after all I am doing the closing . 

When it was the question and answer , he dominated the entire answering process . He purposely stand a step in front of us , ignoring all of us . He didn't have eye contact with us . He did it all by himself , look super bad on himself . He even got rude when everyone asked about budget part . I guess he wanted be piss with me for re-emphasizing that we had burst the budget during the conclusions . He didn't because he knew I didn't say finish what I prepared. 

When we got back to our seats , my group mate deliberately brought it up that I did not cover my slides , he asked sarcastically that is it him saying too much stuff in front that caused me to have shortage of time . I did not bother to answer him . I am glad my lecturer is near , she can hear everything . She is one that does like to listen to our little chats . 

He secretly assessed another group without asking our opinion . Of course , he felt guilty about cutting my part . So when I said I want to see it . He show it to me . Then I asked another group mate to change to a higher mark . No one said anything , maybe they hope that the another group will be the same as we had . Then he blow his own cover by saying , ' Are they that good ? ' . We all ignore him . 

Finally, its all over , I am so happy ! After presentation , I had to tie up some loose ends . 

All for tonight ...
