the busy busy week!

This week was a rather busy week for all! the bro had two essays to do, i had two mid sems to study for, all of which are over now =) but unfortunately life doesn't get better after this, i've an assignment due on mon, a huge law essay due in two weeks!! oh wells! thats part of uni life i guess, life just doesnt get any better till the semester is over!! But i realise that i do prefer a busy life compared to idling around doing absolutely nothing! Well, of course idling around doesnt include shopping which i so terribly miss!

So on tuesday we saw a lunar eclipse!! =) Apparently the next one is in 2011, and by then i would have graduated for a year already,ooo the thought of that is simply awesome! anyway, we witnessed this beautiful sight, the moon started to glow red and all. this was apparently the schedule of the lunar eclipse.

On the evening of Tuesday 28th we will see the Earth's shadow moving across the face of the Moon causing a total lunar eclipse . From Melbourne we are well placed to see all of the eclipse, with the Moon lying high in the eastern sky. The timing of the eclipse is as follows:

Eclipse begins:6:51 pm

Totality begins:7:52 pm

Mid-Eclipse: 8:37 pm

Totality ends:9:22 pm

Eclipse ends:10:23 pm

and we were lucky enough to almost catch every single part of this amazing eclipse! i've photos to show but obviously they werent taken by me, but rather tristan who is way better at taking night shots and all! but it was difficult to get a good shot since the eclipse was mostly visible at extremely dark spots, hence very little lighting. Oh and tris let us try his awesome chocolate balls that he made! IT WAS AWESOME!! it was made of baileys , chocolate cream and a few other ingredients. it was heavenly, just that the cocoa on the outside was a bit bitter but once you sink ur teeth into the soft chocolate cream inside...ooo its simply irresistable! =)

And so the weekend is here again, time really flies doesnt it, but at this time i wish time would just freeze since there are loads of other assignments to do!! the weather was pretty hot the past few days but its gotten cold and windy again today, what a freak weather! ok thats all for now!! , its photo time !

Friday night 'adventure'

And the final verdict after trying the new Chinese Restaurant, is that it is a 'NO GO'! Its so expensive for the kind of food, although its an asian food place its all locals eating there, the service after we paid was junk! Apparently we were below the minimum requirement that we had to spend. It had to be at least 20 per head, but altogether our bill was only 40 something. It was stupid cos the guy made it sound as if we were too poor to eat, but we didnt care, we just paid and left. I think the whole idea of a minimum amt is prettty stupid, its not like we weren't paying for our meal!!! so anyway, we decided never to return to that place again!!

and because we left the place with a pretty empty stomach since we only shared a plate of fried rice, one beef dish and a beancurd dish, we decided that we needed to go in search for another place to fill our stomach! We were planning to head to chadstone at first but we kinda didn't know the way there so we ended up back near the city! Then Andrea suggested that we try this nice French Crepe place that she discovered a while ago! Luckily we managed to find the place with not much hassle! AND IT WAS SUPER YUMMY!!! so much more worth our money than the meal we had before that!! Though the first savoury crepe wasnt fantastic, i think the cheese they used on mine was too strong, but brendan's one which was called 'super complete' and the one gary and andrea shared which was called 'brick' was apparently really good! After having the savoury one, we had a desert one , butter and sugar which the bro and i shared!! AND THAT WAS HEAVENLY!! haha. that totally made the night =) we will definitely return sometime soon!, ok enough of the rambling, i shall let the pictures do the talking!

the WEEKEND is here!!

And so the 5th week of the term ends today! Time really flies!! We're like more than a third through the semester! =) Second semesters always seem to pass really quickly! But week 6 isn't gonna be a great week! I've two tests this week, a qm 2 test and a management of financial institution test! boo! and after that i've two assignments due! Life can only get busier!

Yesterday was a pretty long day! Firstly i had lunch with my old school classmate, nat lee! It was awesome, just two of us, eating good vietnam food, spendiing good quality girl time. i love those fun times. Its so nice to have another fellow mg girl with me in melbs. Here is a pic we took together at the national day party at velour =)


nat and i =)

I had an oral negotiation exercise yesterday, it was pretty interesting. We went to the moot court area on the 5th floor, but unfortunattely i didnt get to see a real moot court, we were placed in one of those holding rooms! but it was good, considering i've never gone higher than the 3rd floor in the law school! My grp is made up of entirely 4th year students, but they are nice and its awesome to mix with older law students cos you get to learn alot from them. Law school is great, except for the assignments though, but on the whole its interesting and i love it =) DInner last night was spent eating maggi noodles at home! COnsidering that i end class at 615 and my bro has a presentation today (which he apparently did awesome at, why am i not surprised? haha ur awesome bro!) , we decided that maggi noodle was our best option! But obviously that wasn't enough cos both of us were so hungry the rest of the night! Well, we decided to make up for it by having a 'good' meal today! Good is in inverted comas because we havent been to that place before. Its called Formosa and its in the suburb, we drove past that place the last time we drove to philip island! Its some Taiwanese restaurant and lets hope it does justice to taiwanese food. Ok, i'll try and take pictures later and post it up soon!

the Long overdue update!

And my blog has been 'dead' for pretty long or rather according to the bro, there is a serious lack of photos on this blog! So i decided to revive this blog back to life, with some pictures and all!

Its been slightly more than a month since i've been back! And this past month or so has been pretty awesome! I think i went to more places then i've been to for the past two and a half years. haha. Anyways, we went to philip island, mt buller and mt dandenong!

OOoo.. and did i mention? we got a new 'baby'! THE ALL NEW TOYOTA CORROLLA! =) yay and thanks to dad that we got this car, now all i need to do is get a licence, which i will at the end of the year. And so life will get alot busier the next few weeks for the bro and i! So its more studying and all to come! Other than that, i guess we are pretty much loving it here down under =) now i shall overload with photos!
