Have been some time since i updated. It has been more than a week since my exams ended!
3rd November (Last paper) After BGGC last paper, the bunch of us without Jo went to Crystal Jade Palace at Ngee Ann City for dinner. We ordered a set dinner for six pax. Each paid about $30 odd. But the food was worth it.. very delicious! After which we went to Party World Orchard to sing our hearts out! Finally i get to sing my favourite F.I.R songs together with Chris!
6th November (DPP2 interview) Interview at SIM @ 4plus. It was interview of the curriculum and future career. My interviewers are ok people, luckily, which made me less tense and more confident. However, i did not prepare anything for the interview. Therefore, most of the time, i do not know what i'm talking about. Anyway it is the last stage of my degree program. After which, we went out for dinner with Chris. Initially, our plan was to go to Sakae Sushi at Heeren. But the place was packed, thus, we decided to go to Suki Sushi at Cineleisure. While there, we saw the entrance filled with people, as they are watching the SI finalists and waiting for their autographs. But i can't even catch a glimpse of them. But it's ok! Later on we walked down hoping to digest some of the food in order to fill our stomach with dessert - ice-cream at Swensens. We chatted for a while before i left first to meet Der.
7th November Der brought me to his grandma's house for a while before we proceeded for my long-awaited Japanese buffet dinner at his workplace. It was my first time eating Japanese style buffet. The sashimi was fresh and delicious. Wow, the thought of it makes me drools! After that, i went to play a bit of golf. This was only my second time playing golf. But nevertheless, it was fun!
Latest update: I've finally mastered cycling on 14 November with Der! Don't know how i managed to do it, but within one try, i can balance easily.. But it was after two fruitless learning days, one with Joyce, one with Der, all three seperate days! Maybe i've understood the way to cycle ba.. Ha! But i fell down terribly when going down a slope.. and incurred a deep cut on my left leg.. But at least, i can cycle now!
Met up Der at 7pm and we went for dinner at IMM.. it felt good being with him and not having to face my books at home.. though my paper is tomorrow! I don't have much confidence at all...
Had steamboat dinner at home with Mum last night.. ate until very full till i had a stomach upset.. luckily today okay already.. long time never ate already felt it was delicious.. i asked Mum to prepare steamboat again tomorrow.. ha.. so she don't need to cook.. save her the trouble..
I sent in resumes to some companies.. i guess it's about time to hunt for a job already.. i don't have much money left to survive for long!
Ok.. need to turn in early already as i have a morning paper tomorrow.
Had my first paper today.. was damn tough.. though it was an open book paper, and i had prepared my answer scripts beforehand, the questions were not what i expected.. it was totally different from the past exam questions.. anyway it is over and i hope to pass..
After the paper, jo, wk, zx and me went to Sakae Sushi at Wheelock Place.. we chat about school, future work, life in melbourne etc.. Chatting with them is always great as they are interesting and i always managed to learn something from them.. hee.. Too bad chris joined her other group of kakis and je went home to study his Finance paper which falls also on next Mon. My Marketing paper falls on next Mon too..
On the way back, i saw a red Ferrari which was so striking and stylish.. how i wished i will own one of those next time.. But just wishful thinking yeah..
Been a long long time since i last update.. these few weeks i just slack at home and study for my exams which will be starting this Thursday.. but didn't managed to study much. i think it's super duper difficult.. it's because the last semester already.. everything that we have learnt for the past 2 years will be tested.. so damn difficult.. there are 3 papers together, 2 of which are open book exams.. and we have to prepare our answer scipts beforehand.. which we have to use our assignments, search for information on Internet and books.. Anyway heard from J that our counterparts in Melbourne, RMIT can bring home their exam scipts for one week or so.. just like an assignment.. but they need to have references.. so makes no difference actually..
Went to have dinner at Lau Pa Sat with Der, his family and his extended family (mother side) just now. It was some sort like a farewell dinner to Der's youngest brother as he is entering army soon.. the food was so so only.. did not order too much as it was his uncle footing the bill.. hope to go there again with Der's family as i am craving for the "lala". Yummy!!
The result for the last 8 finalists are out last night... David Yeo was eliminated.. rather sad.. thought that Christopher will be out, felt that he did not perform as well as David.. Anyway Sylvester and Maia are in, and this keeps me watching Singapore Idol every week.. Hehe!!
Ok.. been on a binge for the past week and i realised i've gained 2kg.. argh.. time to control myself..
Ist October *My Birthday* Met up with Der in the middle of the night and he passed me my presents and i had a go on his car, though it was my second time driving his car, i still find it hard to operate.. but anyway, practice makes perfect! In the afternoon, we went to Clementi and I bought a game "Cruise Ship Tycoon".. but was rather difficult to play.. later on, we walked around the pasar malam. After which, we proceeded to West Coast Recreation Centre. We went to have a game of bowling before we settled for dinner at Jack's Place. We both ordered chicken and steak combo, escargots and a lobster bisque. It was my first time trying escargots.. it tastes like mussels.. not bad.. =P. There were still some time so we went to Ginza Plaza to shop around before he sent me home and he went to work his graveyard shift.. =(
2nd October Met up with Joyce and we went on a shopping spree.. At Wisma Isetan, i bought lots of biotherm products.. moisturizer, eye cream, lip gloss.. and there were lots of free gifts and samples.. yippie!! Joyce bought a DKNY watch for herself at emotus (I hope i got the name correct). We proceeded to Suntec City at the convention hall to have our dinner. It was a steamboat buffet. There were a lot of variety.. i like especially the prawns, fish, mussels and lalas.. yummy.. but i ate until my stomach was about to burst..
Yup.. so eaten so much this past week.. it's time to control my diet once again.. >_
Just backie! Today after our last project meeting, we went to Cafe 211 @ Holland Village to have a sumptuous meal to celebrate the end of our school projects and my birthday! Ordered a Beef Lasagne which tastes delicious and filling, after which Chris and Jo had a birthday surprise for me which was a Tiramisu treated as my small birthday cake! I thank Chris and the rest for the efforts which made my birthday a memorable one and of course the treat.. will be sure to remember this day always in my heart!
After all the projects, it's time to prepare for exams.. but i shall take a break for a few days before preparing.. There's still time for play and relax!
This semester passed by very quickly, very soon, exams coming and we will go on our separate ways and vie for the jobs in the industry, hopefully will be able to find a stable job soon..
This Monday, went for dinner with my gal friends to celebrate one of the gal's birthday at Olio Dome.. after which we went to NUDE @ Wisma Atria to chill.. it was rather cosy and comfortable.. with jazz band in the background...
Today, ZX passed me a birthday present, thought it did not suit me very well, i still thank her for her gesture.. =)
Ok now feeling rather relaxed already, as i'm left with just one more project, hopefully wil be able to hand up tomorrow, with no hiccups whatsoever.
It's been a while since i last updated.. well.. as usual busy with my projects.. now left with 2 more, with 1 due tomorrow.. so 1 down.. i will be more relaxed.. but the last one is the most difficult ~ Managing Strategically.. anyway will do my best, just hope to score well for all these projects.. with my hectic schedule.. everyday reaching home at 7 plus.. i still managed to relax with my project mates after handing in a project last Thursday, went to Partyworld (again!).. this time it was a crowd, with six people.. but was really tired by the end of the 4 hours karaoke session.. i think it is due to the late nights for the past few weeks..
Yesterday went to Der's smallest brother 21 birthday chalet.. They booked four rooms at Downtown East Pasir Ris.. I went to play X-box (There were one set in every room)for the first time! I think i am very "suaku", I played only PS before! Anyway it was fun just sitting there playing with the game.. =P. After that Der and I went to walk around.. there were not much to see.. In the evening, bbq started.. There were four bbq pits so there were a lot of room to cook my food =P. There were a lot of bbq food like chicken wings, hotdogs, otah, squids etc and of course my favourite ~ crayfish! I ate a lot of crayfish.. there were 3 boxes!! It was more than enough to cater to all the people.. there were family from both sides, his two brothers' friends, his parents' friends.. there were so many people.. and his dad bought lanterns for the kids.. yes, his brother got many angbaos from his aunties and uncles.. can see that he is well liked by them especially his parents to organise this huge birthday party for him.. *sigh* this is the first time in years that i feel family warmth..
