SherPhy's Second Visit
My dear dear friend manage to change her flight. It was around 10 months ago since her last visit.Here she comes for the weekend. A perfect weekend. Not forgetting, it would be my last weekend before my final semester of my course starts.
She is just terrific. Sher Phy will always be the Sher Phy I know. We had loads and loads of fun. I'll let the picture to the judgement.
Once she arrived at Hilton, I came over to pick her up. I packed her a Dinner Box. She came down from room and rush into the car and had her dinner in the car. We rush over for Bowling game. It was really rush but heck, it was damn hilarious and fun. I'll try put up a video clip of SherPhy bowling later on. We had 3 games and it was already midnight. Supper time calls. We had DimSum for supper. It did not end there, we head home and had red wine and cathicng up for a nightcap.
The next day, we head out to Sirromet Winery near Brisbane. We had wine tasting and scones for tea.
After the winery, we went back home and rest to get ready for the night. We head over to Kelvin's place for a Steamboat and Korean BBQ. We had a surprise for Sher Phy. It's her Birthday on 21 July. I celebrated her birthday 2 days earlier. Gosh she was really surprised. She manage to eat her dinner before we fetch her back before her call time for her flight.

Her visit is TOO short. I had a wonderful time with her. So I wonder, when will my other friends be coming over to visit me?

This is an amazing read.
This book is on shelf for quite some time. I was rather reluctant to read it at first. The synopsis of the back cover did not really draw my interest. I was wrong.
I head to Borders a couple weeks ago.I have to say I got this very book because of the 3 for 2 deal. I grab the book and give it a go. I read it last monday. It took my one day to finish the book. I could not let it down. I was so engross with it. Sunggled up under the duvet on the rainy cold Monday, I read the book straight from dawn till dusk.
I know the movie was out for rental. On tuesday (cheap rent day), I went to get a copy. I just finish watching it. I woke up and called up the uni to check on my class. It was canceled. A rainy cold morning. What's more to do. I grab the dvd and watch it.
The readings is stil very fresh in my memory. I must say, nothing beats a book compared to a movie. The reads are so descriptive and emotionally drawn that a movie will have have its effect on. Not that I do not enjoy the movie. Just that the book give me such an impact that movie never will.
I am glad I read the book.

Mid July
Nothing new. Nothing out of the ordinary.
The holiday just fly by before I know it. I am busy with the PR application. It's a handful. Lots of information. Information that I forgotten. Information that I din even think its relevant is needed. For instances, address in Singapore. Gosh. My memories on my Singapore days are to the minimum. I basically just remember bits and pieces. Mostly on days spent with Shirley, Tracy, KH and Bai... the happy moments in Singapore. That's about it. SIA is totally another different subject altogether.
Other then that, my life is basically lying around in bed. It's a thing I can do pretty well, especially during the rainy, winter season. Lying in bed needs skills. You can't lay and laze around in bed too long as it might make the rest of your day horrendous with headaches and grumpiness. It just need to be the exact dose.
My last semester will begin next week. Time do fly. Pretty quick at times. Before knowing, it is my final semester for my Master. It's a struggle as usual to enrol on the subjects that I wanted. Scratching my head out on the matter. Sighz.. the norm every beginning of the semester.
All I am looking forward now is a cuppa nice warm drink. Gotta go. Ciao

Too much of sleep
I have been sleeping too much.
Seriously. Too much. It gives me headache.
Too much time on hand during weekdays as most of my friends are basically working, I tend to sleep. Sleeping is definitely the best way to kill time. I tried watching drama series. I can finish one whole season within 2 days. There is of coz a price to pay. It causes headache and eye strain too.
Arghh... the worst is this headache is killing me. I wanted to sleep off this headache but it ain't helping as the reason of the headache is because of sleeping too much. It's a controversy issue that I need to deal with.

A Hike on Sunday
For what I consumed on Saturday definitely needs to be washed away. What better way will do me good other then hiking!
Ha! Woke up really early. At 7am and head to Mapleton and went for the great walks over at the north side of brisbane did the trick. Of course, the walk would not do any justice for all the crime that I overindulge myself on Saturday. The point here is to have a great walk and f.u.n.

Full Meals on a Saturday
There is a reason why I always look forward to weekends. That usually means food and fun. Let me start of with a morning saturday breakfast.
I head to Sunnybank for Taiwan Breakie. I had soy milk and mee suah. Yummy Yummy to the brim. Another one of my favorites is : 'fantuan' that consist of glutinous rice wrapped with you tiao, pickled mustard and pork. It’s chewy and crunchy at the same time, and I love them. I also loved the egg tart that we bought near by. Gosh.
For lunch, five of us head down to Portside and had Japanese Lunch. It's perfect. Nice environment. I've never been there before. I always head to the Sono in the city but first time to Portside. The view is amazing and the food is as always - yummy. I had myself a Bento Set. It's rather pricy lunch but totally worth it. I sincerely regret to take some photos of the amazing bento set and the view at portside. I, as usual cannot resist the tempatation and gobble it all up forgetting the camera which is in my bag.
For tea time, we went back sunnybank to buy some groceries while Onnie went to do his Haircut. May and I could not resist the temptation of Ice Milk Tea. Ha! Perfect-O!
Saturday dinner. Ha! We had another gathering at our house. We made Dumplings!! It's was fun fun fun. May cooked Yam with Sago Desert and Fried Prawn Balls. Grace made dumplings for all of us. Me? I helped here and there, nibbling here and there, kepoh here and there.
If you are wondering, Yup! My tummy is getting rounder and my thighs is getting bigger. Ha! I will be doing exercizes soon.. Oh well.. Soon..

Done-ed
I finally finish my second semester. One more to go to finish up and face the world. Truth be told, I studied harder than before and turn out the result is worse than last semester. If I only knew. I think I work well under pressure. Seriously. This semester I carefully plan all my schedule and followed accordingly to the plan, sticked to it and seriously spend 3 weeks to study on 2 subjects. Heck! It's useless. The more well planned it is, the more worse the result turn out to be. I totally need to work under pressure to get good grades.
Next semester I'll loosen up and focus only when I needed to... under pressure.
Weird.
Anyway, dun bother. All come to an end. I am free for a month or so. Totally free. I decided to pick up back my cycling and exercizing that I stopped for 2 months for my f***ing studies. I will focus on my Japanese and Chinese as well and read my beloved books. Oh. I will do some baking too.

It's My day!!!
Haha.. Happy Happy Happy!!
Gosh!There is so many mishaps happening this few weeks plus I was busy with my studies on my exams. I am not really in the 'mood'... until today! Everything turns out 'alrite-o'!!!
First of all, my delivery from Victoria Secret arrive. My first online shopping!! Love it loads. Of coz, it's sorta like my bday pressie from Onnie!! I got new sleepwears, a few pants and tops and undies!! HAhA!! Cool eh!! It's on sale and it's totally worth it. Not forgetting a wonderful bag for my bday from Onnie!
My result on the tedious course was out(the one I have been blogging constantly about). The result is not that impressive but totally much much more than I expected. :D. I score a 64.4& and it is 0.6% to get a GPA 5. I emailed the lecturer and ask to confirm if I would get a 5. He replied today and say YES!!HAHA.. Another big thing that I should be happy about.
O!! O!! And finally my laptop. Did I mention I have some milo spillage onto my laptop and my keypad was not working??(I din dare mention to korkor, he has always been complaining on my mishandling on laptop). While I was doing some intensive search as I do not want my family to know, I realize that korkor actually take the full warranty that even cover spillage (he bought the laptop for me and he must have known that I am prone to accidents!! Hmmpph).I finally manage to call the servicing counter from Dell and they came up to my place and got it fix!! It took likes 3 minutes to change and TADAHHH!!
Everything is back to norm!!And it's just 1 pm.
HA!! MY DAY!! I am so extremely happy I can't concentrate on my studies anymore. My patience to wait for a bright chirpy day has arrived. I know and realize that mishaps and sad encounter will happen but it is just how you manage the situation and in the end, the reward will be impressive and totally appreciated and worthwile waiting for.
HUGZ. I know this is lame.. but heck!! Life is beautiful..even during it's down moment!!
Thanks to the divine above.

Nightmare Runaway
I am stuck in Library now. Truth be told, I do not want to be at home alone.
I had this very very extremely creepy nightmare the other night. I can’t really remember much just bits and pieces of it. The dream was extremely terrifying. All I remembered is that my very own room in 170/7 Land st is occupied by something else other than me. The weather over here ain’t helping too. It’s been raining nonstop for like 5 days and cold too. It just add on to the eeriness of the whole thing. It’s just weird.
Anyway, I occupy my daytime (when no one is at home) in the library now. At least, hanging out in the library left me nothing to do except to read on my notes for exams which is a good thing, I guess. So am in library from 8am till 7 pm. HA! Obviously! Surprisingly!

A Sat at library
Am in the library today. Been a struggle to concentrate on my studies at home as there are loads of attractions. There are the TVB series, the Season 2 Heroes, The girl with a dragon tattoo(book) and of coz, my beloved bed. Did I mention I absolutely adored my quilt, it’s so comfy and cozy. Once you in it, you never wanted to get out of it especially on this cold rainy weather.
So here I am am. Of coz, I head to Merlos on the secondfloor to get my wake up booze. A flat white and a toaster ham and cheese croissant. It is definitely a good breakie. So here I am still reluctant to get on with my studies. Ended up blogging.
Ha! Perhaps a dinner gathering tonight for a Korean style bbq tonight. Hmm.. Sounds wonderful! Will see! Will see. Need to get back on my reads now. Sighz. I have two more exams both weight 40% of my total marks for the subject. Worse is that the exams took place during one on my birthday and another is on the following day. How suckie is that!
Counting the days till am free again. Hopefully I get the permission from my mum to head back M’sia after the exam. I initially will only plan to head back home at the end of this year but I miss home so much. Sighz. So am kinda like asking if it’s wise of me to head back for a month during the break. Hmmm.. will see how it goes.

A good night after..
+ 
The best night for weeks. As spending time with assignments after assignments, I finally had a good night in.
Rented a movie '27 Dresses' and had a large mediteranean pizza at the Toowong joint takeaway after my evening jap class yesterday was totally amazing plus the rainy cold weather... a night in with hot pizza, coke and a good movie. That is a BLISS!
Oh! Did I mention I absolutely adore Katherine Heigl. FullStop.

Assignment Struggle Done.. for the semester
Been struggling with assignments for the past few weeks. Gosh! Might I add, it's terrible! I wonder how I go through my undergrad, Oh yeah! With the help with my amazing classmates, that's how!!
Doing postgrad is a struggle here. Sighz. If I knew better, I woulda work harder on my undergrad and not to rely too much on my friends. Err... NAH! Haha. I love the moments during my undergrad, having loads of friends to help me out with my assignments.
Just that, this time round, I have to do things from scratch. No one helps me out.. not even on journal search, not even helping me out on excel or words. HahA! Penny, Jannelle! I am rather good with it dy! Amazing leh! I know how to put captions and stuff etc etc using microsoft word and I figure it out myself (that is spending hours searching for it.....&^*%^*%). Doing assignments just ain't that easy as in undergrad.
I think I seriously chose a wrong subject this sem. It's Media, Culture and Ideology. Believe me when I say, I have NO IDEA what's it about and absolutely no F***ing idea why we need to know this. I have been studying Althusser, Bourdieu, Hall, Gramsci and etc etc. I have no idea what is the whole idea behind learning ideology and discourses. I am so lost in this subject and of coz, I just manage to survive with very very lil marks of survival. I just hope I will pass this subject. Please Help Pray!
Anyway, it's all done.
Just two more exams in Mid June.
