the hectic period is here...

And so i just handed up my law take home exam this morning. It was due at 10am, so i had to drag myself out of bed early, and set two alarm clocks fearing that i wouldnt be able to wake up. But anyways, its all over now. I did my best and whatever the result i just leave it in God's hands. It goes without saying, that everytime i hand in a law assignment, im always wondering 'did i forget an issue? did i will cover all that needed to be covered?'. Its such an open ended subject that is up to us to argue, yet there are some sort of fixed answers to it. Oh wells, no use fearing for its all over now.

The next three weeks are going to be very very hectic. I've a mid semester test and an assignment due next week, and i've a project meeting this friday which i have to prepare as well. And then the week after i've another mid semester test! The middle of the semester is always the busiest period, and somehow everything seems to be due at the same time, which is seriously annoying. The mid semester test next week, is for one of the hardest commerce subjects, derivative securities, so i seriously have to study very hard for that.

Oh yes, on another note, the olympics are finally over =( Thats pretty fast, 16 days of good entertainment for me. Now, Australian Tv is back to its boring mode again, but oh wells just in time for such a busy period for me. Okays, i got to go to school already! I'll update when i next have time! =)

my 200th post!

I was just looking at the number of posts i've done since this blog was set up and i realise this is my 200th post! haha, so thats an average of 60 plus entries a year. Wow! That's quite alot. Anyway, week 4 is finally over, which means a third of the semester has past! Time passes pretty fast, and that also means that over the next few weeks, the work load is going to get seriously alot heavier, with assignments due and mid semesters all coming up within the next three weeks. I pray the Lord will watch over me over that period, as i go through a pretty hectic part of the semester. It has been raining quite a bit the past few days, esp today, its been raining since early in the morning. Because of the rain, the current temp is like 7 degree celsius, which is pretty cold. Over the past few days, i've been experimenting with new dishes like on monday we had pizza, self made pizza and then on tues we had fried bee hoon with chilli, chicken and prawn. The pizza was all right, the crust wasnt that fantastic, but the ingredients were all right. THe bee Hoon was pretty all right, i quite enjoyed it, haha i cant believe im praising and talking about my own cooking. Anyways, ill post pictures of the food we had last week, which was rice and dishes, and pizza this week!







This weekend ill be very busy doing my take home exam for contracts. I pray that God will watch over me and give me the wisdom to answer the questions well and be able to hand a good piece of work up on monday morning. This is my first take home exam and im praying that everything will be good =) Okays, back to work now, i've to revise for contracts now. ill update soon! xoxo

the Olympic fever and more...

The past week has been pretty exciting in terms of tv wise, cos of the exciting olympics on tv. The olympics has certainly made the usually boring tv program here pretty good. I love watching the swimming, synchronised diving, beach volleyball and now track and field. Good, good stuff! haha and i know the parents are also watching the olympics back home too.

Anyway, enough about the olympics, so far life has been pretty all right. But school is definitely getting busier esp next weekend onwards. Next fri, my take home exam for law will be released and my entire weekend next week will be pretty much burnt out. After that, there will be tons of assignments and mid semesters to deal with. Oh wells, i guess thats just part and parcel of uni life!! But somehow, the second semester is always slightly better in that you know after this semester its the very much anticipated three mths break. I'm definitely looking forward to the break. I really do need some retail therapy, esp in hk where i just totally love spending time with mummy and the aunties, walking arnd, enjoying good food, good shopping and meeting up with hk friends. And the pre-christmas atmosphere there is simply awesome, they really do put in alot of effort in decorating their shopping centres and all, and best of all the weather is always nice and cool!! ooo thinking abt it, makes me want to fly there now! haha. i must seriously lose weight, earn my money, so that i can use it to shop in hk!

Its abt a mth left till the bro and i return to singapore for the grand prix! I'm pretty excited abt going back even though its only for about ten days or so! Its better than nothing!! =) okays, thats all for me now! I must study study study! I seriously am geared up to do well this sem! Its my last sem in commerce and i wanna end it off with a bang!!! i'll update again soon! xoxo

Photo updates!

When i was scrolling down my blog, i just realised that i havent posted any picture up in ages, it has just been words words and more words! haha. so anyway here are the pics from my birthday and the graduation pictures.







HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!!!!!

Its the 9th of August once again! In other words, its national day today! Happy National Day to all Singaporeans. The bro and i are attending some sort of party in the city later, its a combined celebration of the singapore society of Melbourne Uni, RMIT and Monash Uni. I've no idea how its going to turn out, but just hope that at least i can soak in some sort of national spirit and atmosphere tonight. And so we watched the opening ceremony of the beijing olympics last night! It was really really awesome, and im proud to call myself a chinese. The fireworks were spectacular and though we were not in the stadium in Beijing, you can just feel the very strong sense of national pride of the chinese people and the entire experience watching it is pretty uplifting! I did enjoy the show alot. Now, i just can't wait for my fave events to start like swimming, track and field and tennis.

Oh yes, today is also Laura, Andrea and Gary's graduation day! a big CONGRATULATIONS to them! The bro and i went to uni to take a few pics with them and i must say the atmosphere in uni today was so good! All the happy faces of the graduates, the proud faces of the parents and the whole place was just filled with a great sense of achievement, accomplishment and satisfaction! The feeling standing in the midst of them is just great. It makes me want to graduate too, though i know mine is still a far 2 years away. Its really a turning point in life for everyone once they leave uni. Out into the corporate world and all, wow! all i can say is, i would really feel like a total grown up then. But till then, i must still slog it out, and wait for that day to arrive, where i bid goodbye to melbourne and carry a whole full bag of memories and embrace a totally new phase in life.

okays, thats all for me now! HAPPY NATIONAL DAY ONCE AGAIN! =)

IM OFFICIALLY 20 NOW!!! haha. i dont know why i seem so happy about that when being 20 means im no longer a teenager and yet on the other hand im not an adult yet! Its an in between age! Anyway, i had a pretty good party this year! thanks to all my friends and of course my brother who made the entire night a memorable night! It was a fun-filled night with tons of laughter, good shabu shabu food and just a really good chill-out session. And so my 20th birthday went well, and i happily turned 20 on the 2nd of august! haha. The presents were interesting too! i had sake, wine, an oil burner with candles and all and lip balm. anyway, thats all it for my 20th birthday! I'm definitely going to have a big bash for my 21st!!

On a different note, the olympics is starting tomorrow! i'm seriously so super duperly excited and i dont know why! Maybe its cos i get good tv programmes for the next few weeks or maybe its cos the olympics is once every 4 years and its hosted in an asian country this year! whatever the reason is, my excitement can't be contained! Its the best atheletes competing out there and it will definitely be interesting to watch! 950 pm aussie time tomorrow, the olympics begins!!!
