MID SEMESTER BREAK HAS STARTED......

AND SO THE MID SEMESTER BREAK BEGINS!!! =) finally, after 8 solid weeks of school, the mid semester break is finally here. The mid semester break that both the bro and i have been pretty much looking forward to. School over the past 8 weeks have been hectic but yet pretty fun as well. After all, school is where you get to see your friends in lectures and tutorials, many of whom are leaving and graduating soon =( But i've pretty much enjoyed the last 8 weeks, if i had to do a recap of the key events it would have to be the skiing trip, my birthday, catching up with friends and mid autumn festival! I've pretty much enjoyed the first 8 weeks of school, as i've made new friends, caught up with some old trinity friends that i havent seen in a long time in lectures and tutorials. But nevertheless, im looking forward to two whole solid weeks of holiday! Its going to be lots of catching up on tv series, formula 1 racing, shopping, yummilicious singapore food and awesome family time! And after that, its another 5 weeks of school before exam!

On a different note, the weather here has been really lovely over the past few days! It has been pretty nice, windy and cold. I love the weather here and that is something i can't deny. I'm seriously not really looking forward to the hot and humid weather in singapore. I still love my winter and im sad its ending!! So its two more days of awesome weather before i return back to SUNNY SUNNY singapore. I think i'll just be hiding in air-conditioned places all day long, i just simply hate hot and humid weather. But other than that, its singapore singapore singapore in two days!!! OH YES, and best of all, i ordered three cds from yesasia.com. So im finally getting my lam fung cd and all in singapore! I CANNOT WAIT!!!! hahaha. see ya all REALLY REALLY SOON!!! =)

the mid semester break is coming!

And so FINALLY, i've finished all my assignments and tests that are due and held before the mid semester break. I'm pretty exhausted from all that, because over the past month or so it has been pretty much non-stop work. But i still have another grp assignment due on the 20th of oct, but thats still a while more. So its six days to singapore!! I'm pretty excited and all, because of formula 1 and of course because i get to see my beloved parents and relatives. I was going to say im not looking forward to the weather back home, but the weather here over the past few days have been pretty warm as well. Temperatures of around 16-20 degrees. But then again, melbourne's weather is unpredictable and it could very well plunge on any day. I'm actually really missing winter now!

Today is also supposedly mid-autumn festival. haha i never thought of it as a big deal last time when i was back in singapore. After all, i dont fancy mooncake, and we've all pretty much gotten past the carrying lantern stage. But to quite alot of chinese people here, its actually a big deal. So tonight i'll be going over to toliver and sean's place for a steamboat since its mid-autumn today. First time i'm actually celebrating this festival! I guess thats the plus point of studying overseas and mixing with people from different countries. On friday night i had dinner with my korean friend, Harry. It was a good dinner, except i wore the wrong pair of shoes and now the back of my feet are filled with big big blisters. BOO! i'm never going to wear pretty but uncomfortable shoes if i know im going to walk so much in the future! But other than that, it was really good catching up with him since i havent seen him in a while since he went for attachment in the US last semester. Oh yes, besides this i caught up with waiting for tea after our class on thursday, we just sat for two hours and talked non-stop. I see her like three times a week but we never really got a chance to sit down and really catch up. It was a really awesome tea session that i thoroughly enjoyed =) I'll be seeing her tonight at toli's place. So this week was pretty good since i got to catch up with two really close friends of mine. I'll be so sad when they all graduate at the end of this year. Thankfully, i'm going to hk at the end of this year, so i can still catch up with waiting and all.

At the end of this year, so many of my friends are going to graduate. And from then on, everyone is going to be going in so many different directions. SOme will head home, some will try and find a job here. Actually, i've been really lucky in terms of doing group work in commerce. I've met really nice people and become pretty good friends with them. Like we can all get along really well, and doing group work with a group like this makes it alot easier. In fact, they are all non-singaporeans, but they have all been pretty awesome to work with. Okays, im going to go for lunch with korkor soon!!!

HAPPY MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL TO EVERYONE!!!!!!! =) i'll see everyone really really soon!
