1 MONTH TO CHRISTMAS
It's coming to the end of November and I'm feeling all the stress from the assignments that will be due every single week from now till 18th of december.
Yet,I'm enjoying the stress some how,maybe because I love what I'm doing right now and I don't mind having to look up piles and piles of good smelling old book in the ancient library to complete an assignment. The library has truly become my second home and it is weird then I dreaded going into Ngee Ann's well-maintained and ultra-modernized 4 story building.That is so over.
SIDE-TRACKED- TO SEL : You've gone back to sunny island and I MISS YOU SELINA HENG! It felt so good to have you here even if it was just 5 days.I know I owe you hell lots of pics but you have to wait!haha..Cant wait to see you!!
Anyway,the Christmas decoration in Melbourne can't can't can't be compared to Singapore's Orchard Road decoration.I was hoping to see more lights and pretty ornaments on the trees and special dolls or stories put up in departmental stores and boutiques but there simply wasn't any good one. It feels quite demoralising having to look at a street with countless of similar shaped stars hanging over the entire stretch of Bourke Street. It is this time of the month where I go to Taka square and bring home heaps of goregeous dangling ornaments,bells,lights and THE STAR and the Christmas Shopping! I MISS ALL OF THIS SO MUCH.Feeling a little emo and homesick just thinking about it.
Oh well,at least I'm going over to Brisbane in december to celebrate X'mas with sis and perhaps my brother as well.
Happy early X'mas Shopping people!!
and my flight back to SG have been confirmed!

First
I took such a long time to update!Anyway,I've attended school for nearly a month now and I must say I'm enjoying it every single day.First year units,compared to those in the second year,are relatively different in terms of essay questions and a whole lot of other stuff.
I'm taking Media Studies,Newsroom Practise,Effective Writing and Human Behaviour.I absolutely adore Media Studies because it teaches you how to interpret the media,how to analyse the media texts and not to believe whatever they portray no matter how true it may seem.Thus,for the first assignment on this unit,I've to choose a show currently on TV and analyse it.Guess what I'm doing?Sex and The City!It's damn cool right?I need to write an essay and give a presentation on it.
Newroom Practice got us to write intros/leads base on articles and to get a feel of how hard news are,it's the toughest of all cause it requires you to have a good knowledge of local,national and international news.Slowly but surely,I'll get the hang of it!Effective writing,teaches you to write proper sentence structure and to have zero grammar errors.It's quite good and it helps me a lot in wanting to perfect my written/oral in English.Plus the fact,I'll be coming back to teach as an English educator,so I have to got to know my language!
Human Behaviour, this unit got me to buy the most expensive book in my entire life - AUD$125.Right now,I'm learning why people like to form groups,how certain group have a certain vibe and some people are attracted to them and others are repulsive towards them.How we human have evolve since million years ago and how our identity is shape by the influence we have around us.We're still in the first chapter so ya,imagine how thick it is.
All in all,I'm enjoying my time very much in school!I have 2 friends whom will appear on my blog pretty soon..haha!
I miss home so much,just this weekend,mum fell and injured her wrists,knuckles and broke a finger while mopping the floor.zzz,got sis and me to think,if we were both home and do the housechores,mum won't end up in such a state.Dad fell really ill last week as well..zzz,kinda suck all these things are happening when we're not home.I miss my dogs like crazy,each time i see a canine,it reminds me of Fluffy and Bubbles(no matter how irritating he was,miss disturbing him!)Miss you all back in SG,it is just so different having friends here and back in little red dot.

Tyler's - You're not
You're not your job.
You're not how much money you have in the bank.
You're not the car you drive.
You're not the contents of your wallet.
In the end , the things you own end up owning you.

Shopping Trip
I went shopping today after collecting a package from Cadbury House and bought a top that I was eyeing on 1 month ago..It was 79.95 and they had size 8 but not 6, and was contemplating for a long time in the store whether I should get it even though it wasn't exactly the right size for me and eventually,I didn't because I thought of all the worse possibilities if I did purchase it.
AND,while I was floating around Supre,ForeverNew..Wee,Sportsgirl sale! And I saw that top going for 29.95 and they had size 6 + it was freaking LAST PIECE!!hahaha,I'm lucky to be small size here!hehe! Bought a pencil skirt from there as well because Supre's material isn't that good.Headed for brasNthings and got this black satin nightwear!
Money Well Spent!
My latest love
Good Investment!haha
Anyway,My mum is sooo nice!She called the other day to ask if I needed any stuff from SG and I told her I wanted bla bla bla bla bla and chilli crab paste!She told me she couldn't put it in cause it's food item and I was quite disappointed but today,when I opened up the package,there it was - Prima Taste Chilli Crab Paste!I love her to the max man..I don't know how she did it but she sure rock big time!
OH OH!!This is what I cooked last night!
Herbal Chicken Soup
I have mastered the skills in brewing this soup.
Deep fried Mince Pork ball
Sweet and Sour Dipping Sauce
Dip the mince pork ball into the sauce and wala,really awesome dish.
Spinach and mushroom with Chinese Wine
OH yess,the other day I went to have brekky at 'Pancake Parlour' and they had this garlic-buttered mushrooms which were divine and I came home to try do it,it's really tasty.Top it with pancakes, bacon and eggs and there you'll have a country brekky!!
Omg,and X'mas is coming!!! The department stores in Aus are having sales of trees,ornaments and candies..
How wish I could go back in december...

Royal Melbourne Show '09
I inherited my mum's early bird genes and I've always got to do stuff early in the morning and plus the fact that my sis who went for the show in Brissy kept insisting that I should be there early to avoid the crowds that might eventually cause me to have a biitch fit.
Anyway,my date for the day was john and he's quite a joker..spent quite an amount to get a scooby doo but couldn't cause I think every game store we went to were out blood sucking our money..(I saw garfield there too!)Well,took some crappy CARNEVIL RIDE that made me scream.It's like those guys in painted faces,hiding in a dark corner and waits for your turn and decides to pop out from nowhere trying to scare the wits out of you,which in my case,they were very successful with it.The rides are pretty steep and it cost about 15bucks.Thy had show bags with different cartoon characters and nother stuff in it,it's a pity they didn't have happy tree friends and patrick was looking way too hideous in a cowboy outfit and thus I didnt get any bags but I did get this pair of inflatable gloves which cracked me up big time after it got inflated and also a black halo(for the sake of buying something pretty).
I had pretty amazing hotdogs,marshmellow and strawberries caoted with chocolate,bbq beef ribs and huge cotton candy and had a great day laughing at pigs racing and diving,viewing wierd cocks that are white in colour and going emo looking at all the cute dogs there that were having their dog contest..
I wished so many of you in SG could somehow appear...
SHUTTER BUG AT RMS
Look at my halo!heh!
Shutterbug is back!haha
That's the turkey and that's me
Wool on display
Me and a huge lump of cotton candy
The yummy marshie and berries!
Showbags Area
Going home after walking for nearly 6 hrs
My date for the day!
My punching gloves and me acting all retarded!!
Well,more pics will be on facebook!
