Hahaz! Once again, Sheryl is going to start her countdown to home! Can't deny the fact that i am a home person.. Hahaz.. Proud to be one in fact! So yeah! Okie, this week has been SUPER exciting lah.. And here it goes..........................

Monday: Baked Biscotti cause i just felt like doing it again as you can see from my previous post... Then at night cooked super POTENT prawn mee soup and Char Kway Teow...

Tuesday: Woke up early as i had to meet my lecturer.. Showered and startedt to freak out as i was having rash all over my limbs.. Then went to school, met my lecturer to discuss my F&B submission that i did not do so well.. Then i went to the library intending to do work, but started to scratch like a mad dog with fleas!! Cannot take it le went to see the school nurse whom also got a shock of her life! HAHAZ! Then she gave me some medicine to eat, referred me to the doctor.. So Aaron was kind enough to give me a ride and YI Wen went with me!!

STUPID SHIT! I am allergic to BANANA PRAWNS.. LIKE WTH LAH!! That is what triggered such a big reaction.. Then ah, i have to say, the doctors here, i really question their qualifications lah.. Allergy can be skin reaction, don't need to be swollen mucus glands then suffocate what... Waste $50...

Wednesday: Had lessons from 9am to 2pm, then had the SUPER recommended BURGER by Joyce from school! So i had a BEEF BURGER and it was AWESOME LAH!! $5.40 for it cause i added cheese.. DAMN SHOIK! As you can see from the photos below! =)

The place was really some ulu pandan place lah.. And the race pack, only got race info and a pair of shoelace.. LOSERVILLE... Then went for a cup of good aromatic coffee to chillax after getting the race pack..

Saturday: Continued to work on my gaming essay.. Which i seriusly am very pek chek cause i got too much words and info.. Then i started to pack my stuff and get ready for my race on Sunday..

Got people dress up as clowns, star wars the white colour army, batman, Flintstone, Mario and MANY MORE! The weather was going easy on us, with nice breeze and not too scorching sun.. Wha, FIRST time i run ah, guys never pang sei the girls leh! In fact they ran with us for the WHOLE 10km lah! Really eye opener! Really proud of Grace that she has completed her first official marathon! =)

Before the Run.. =)
After the run!

Then i came home, had lagsane for lunch, then had nice orange and strawberry.. Decided to cook sago green bean soup as requested by Ming Xian.. Even though the weather was hot, i think the green bean soup felt refreshing in someway, like internally.. Hahaz.. Then i went to shower, while waiting for my hair to dry i went to eat yogurt and apple.. Hahaz.. Hair dry le slept for 2 hours.. Woke up being hungry and cooked dinner.. Hahaz..

Randomness in a Day...

YEAH!! It is FINALLY getting hotter!! Think i am the only idiot here that is so looking forward to the hot weather.. HAHAZ! SHOIK AH!!

So today, i don't know why could not sleep anymore, so decided to wake up at 730am and get the day started.. Then i remember Shuk Wai saying that she don't like nuts, Joyce also don't really like nuts, and I remember Xue Ying don't like some nuts (but could not remember which one)... So i decided to bake Chocolate Biscotti for them! Then can cater to a wide target market.. HAHAZ!

So i started the morning with baking and filled the whole house with the aroma of the Biscottis! Muahahaz! Then after that Ming Xian came up to make Bread and Butter pudding for Joyce too!! See, Joyce is so being loved at Campus View! =)

Then i started to touch on my Gaming Essay and the weather just got hotter, turning the house into a incubator till i could feel my eyes burning.. So i decided to take a nap and woke up in a sweat cause i refuse to on the air-conditioner.. HAHAZ! Then continued with my work again till the other babes came home and we went to Woolworths to get some groceries..

Came home, cooked PRAWN MEE NOODLE SOUP and CHAR KWAY TEOW!! OMG, SUPER SINGAPORE CAN! Although not very nice lah, but then again, you are away from home.. Better than nothing right.. Hahaz.. Also has Sambal Prawns and Cajun Grilled Prawns!! Then eat le now i got stomachache.. 3rd time le, i really cannot take Australian prawns.. Damn sad... So here are some MORE pictures!!

I hope she do not have access to my blog till she is home tomorrow morning to see the biscottis on the table.. Hahaz..

Saturday: Went for a morning run with Ming Xian.. It was a great way to start my day! Then did some work, had lunch and then started to slack again.. Hahaz.. Made Chicken Pie in the night under the supervision and leadership of Chef Xue Ying! The pie was SUPER GOOD LAH!! Go back Singapore i can make, provided you provide me with an oven! Hahaz!!

Sunday: Woke up, had nice biscuits brought from Singapore and a cup of tea to start my day.. Then cooked barley, made some cards for the Campus View babes, then had a black forest tim tam (which i kinda think it does not seem so nice anymore leh)!

Then went to Riverlink again to get some groceries and to print stuffs.. Then came home, had AWESOME French Onion soup made by Joyce.. Then prepared dinner and had dinner.. Yi Wen made REALLY DELICIOUS Chicken Rice.. Then wash up, had some Ming Xian Famous Savoury Dessert and then slack..

Working with Joyce at this cafe near our place.. AWESOME ah!! Hopefully i can cope with work and school work.. But as what my brother says, when you get more busy and stressed, things will get done better.. So i really hope so! Hahaz!!

I miss home.. Miss my family, miss my friends.. Miss the AHM run today.. Well done to everyone who completed it!! Remember to hydrate and stretch okie!!

1 week has passed...

Okie, i have been back for a week le.. This week kinda seem long to me, like passing really slowly.. It seems to be crawling pass.. Maybe cause school still quite slack.. I guess when school really starts and all the submission dates get nearer, i will feel that time is passing too fast! HAHAZ!

WHA LAU! I just came back from watching the movie, Public Enemies.. IT IS FREAKING A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY (this is my own perception)!!! You like pay money to see people shooting here and there, like the ammo really free one! One thing good is the effects though, such as the blood flowing out or the millions of holes on the walls.. The story line was BORING, no excitement and too draggy!!

But the movie, The Sister's Keeper is a TERRIFIC MOVIE! Girls, please remember to bring tissue paper okie? I am sure many of you watch le will cry.. Another good movie to watch is The Proposal.. These two movies are worth it, Public Enemies can go suck s***... Pardon my language, but i was seriously damn restless and bored during the movie.. Maybe i had my expectation up a little to high... But oh wells..

Okie, so school is going to really start with tutorials kicking in this week.. I have a submission on 10th August lah and i still have not started.. DARN! Why so fast sia!

Okie, i better go sleep soon because i am going to the Ipswich Showground tomorrow morning to look for any good deals!! Love ya all peeps and wait for my next entry!!

Oh yah, Xue Ying has the MOST AWESOME jacket that keeps me warm! Thanks babe! =)
