1/3 done through the semster! Well, almost..

Considering that fact that there is 13 weeks of school, excluding all the holidays and stuff, i am about 1/3 done with the last semester! OH MY GOODNESS! Now i believe when people tell me that the last semester flies TOO FAST!! It is like, 4 weeks has gone pass! A month! It is really amazing how time flies this semester, and i think it is because i am busy with school, work and having fun!

Talk about fun, i am so enjoying the alone time with Huai An and Craig.. If only it could remain like that for like, till i graduate! Hahaz! IF lah ah.. OH! Today i had a FIELD TRIP! Self proclaim that is.. Craig found out that our neigbours have a MACADAMIA TREE planted which is accessible through our backyard! So, Huai An, Craig and me went to PICK MACADAMIA NUTS! Oh my goodness, they are SO FRESH, when you eat them, it is not crunchy, but firm yet soft.. It is so interesting lah!!

This week also did many stuff! Had pizza night, had Taco night, had Kebab and Pita Pocket lunch and more!! More food, no wonder my mum says i look rounder over the webcam.. Oh no! Re-living the Shanghai experience! NO!!!! Hahaz!

Also, i am really happy cause this week or rather this semester, i have been reconnected with Lisa.. We have been sms-ing like some hopeless romantic couple that is being torn godzillion miles away! Hahaz! I really hope this is for real and it would maintain for long! Looking forward to the possibility to travel together after we graduate!

Wha, tomorrow is the start of week 5, then it is the Mid-Semester Break! I SUPER need to get my assignments done lah! All due in like no time and i have not even completed one! When my friends have already completed like at least 2! I AM SO SUPER SLACK THIS SEMESTER and i do not know why!! ARGH!!

Tomorrow is the start of the new week.. Find the hardworking you back Sheryl Chua, you NEED TO if you want to do well and graduate well.
Till then, cheers everyone! I need to go check on the biscotti that i am baking.. New recipe, first attempt.. See lah, do EVERYTHING else except assignments.. ARGH

SUPER GROSS!!!

You know how it feels when you are so tired from school, and all you want is to have a good shower to refresh yourself.. Going to the bathroom, getting ready to shower and then you see this:


ITS LIKE WHAT THE HELL?! WHO THE F*** STICKS THEIR HAIR ON THE SHOWER GLASS DOOR PANEL?!

WHO ELSE RIGHT?! When there is ONLY 2 females in the house..

This has not happened once or twice, but in fact THREE TIMES!

Super DISGUSTED and PISSED right now..

Survived Week 3!!

Yipee! I have survived another week of school! Oh my goodness, this week's Financial Management Tutorial is SO NOT FUNNY! Had to keep asking Huai An cause i do not know how to do.. I reckon i should put a study table in his room, then when i do FM, no need walk here and there.. HAHAZ!

Well, this week i got to pay $50 penalty for adding a course late.. Stupid and blur me, but oh wells.. I would take it as an investment then, for a better future as the course i am studying now would be more beneficial to my career.. So yeah.. Wha, this week is filled with loads of good food and desserts with Craig whipping up dishes whenever he can! Friday night got Lasagna, Saturday night Chicken Noodle Stew and today got ROAST PORK and Chocolate Cake with Ice Cream! Hahaz! The amazing cooker that he has is damn cool man.. Hahaz! Can roast, steam, bake, etc...

I also finally started work this week.. IT WAS CRAZY CAN! Run here and there like mad, never stop one leh.. It always never fails to amaze me how the customers come in ONE WHOLE SHOT rather than a constant stream.. Hahaz.. But then again, i think it is because got some event, so got more people.. It is really madness man, i was perspiring like mad.. But i think not as shiong as banquet, Mandarin Oriental has truly trained me well! Hahaz! I kinda find it good that it is busy, cause time FLIES and i can keep practicing how to make better coffees! When my family comes for my graduation, i MUST bring them to the cafe and personally make the MOST awesome coffee for them! MUAHAHAZ!

I finally feel the stress to start on my essay le.. Hahaz! After procrastinating for 3 weeks.. But then again i got this bad habit of adding as much information as i can.. Oops! Hahaz! Now my word document is filled with website links and points off my head.. SO MESSY! Hahaz!

OH OH OH!! This week i went on a CEREAL SPREE!! I bought 4 boxes of cereal!! Hahaz! Cause they on sale, and 1 is a new product, so just try loh!! HAHAHZ!! Lazy to post the photo up, maybe i will soon.. I think next week will be chocolate spree!! Hahaz! Buy M&Ms and Tim Tam for Khairul, and more chocolate for myself! In fact, i have already bought 3 blocks and 2 packets of chocolate to last me for a while.. HAHAZ!!

Oh my goodness, i think my cabinet is SUPER well stocked for war man.. Even Huai An see le also say.. I think he got a BIG shock lah!! Hahaz! Bad habit, just like a hamster, love to store but never eat.. Hahaz! Seriously, my cupboard is so full of food, no need to worry man! Hahaz!! But most of them from last semester one.. Hahaz! Should go and take a picture of it and post it soon.. HAHAHZ!!
Decided to post the photos!
I can open CEREAL outlet! The Uncle Toby one VERY nice! To me lah.. =)

Cyclone Ului, BRING IT ON!! Hahaz!!

Awesome man! Okie lah, got to get ready for bed.. Really tired from work and schoolwork.. OH!! Anyway, i just want to say i am TRULY very happy for a really close friend of mine for finding love!! =) CONGRATULATIONS AND I SINCERELY WISH YOU TWO THE VERY BEST!!! =)

Till then, cheers people!! I am starting to settle down and have fun!! MUACKS!! Positivity is KEY! Right Ming Xian?! =)

2 weeks gone!!

WHOAH!! I am yet again a week closer to graduation and home!! Hahaz.. School just started only i so excited liao.. This week i have done something stupid, which i hope i am able to fix it like ASAP! I went to drop a course, THINKING that 31st March is the last day to do it.. So i happily dropped it, then REALISED that actually 12 March was the last day! So after dropping it, i could not add the desired course!! So now i am taking 3 courses when i NEED 4 to graduate! OMG! So in a paranoid and panic mode now!! Seriously just praying hard that things will turn out fine! Like get this done ASAP so i can study in peace and catch up with what i have missed in the previous lessons... FINGERS ARE REALLY CROSSED TO THE MAX!

So this week i had school and it was great! Hahaz.. I went to watch Avenue Q with Benedict and it is a TRULY AWESOME SHOW!! Super adult contents that would make you laugh like mad!! Really enjoyed the show.. And we had 1 X GOOD ONE of savoury crepes and blackforest chocolate pancakes!! Fattening but who cares, damn worth it!!

I had fun too with Yujin and Tian Chuang! We were supposed to watch a movie at the Limestone Park last night and they made Sushi.. Then they played the cartoon Tom and Jerry, so we left, NOT KNOWING that usually they will play some cartoons first then play the TRUE MOVIE! OMG, SO LOSER LAH!! Hahaz.. But not bad lah, we headed back to their place, Yujin made Miso soup and we watched Music and Lyrics!! AWESOME MAN!! GOOD FOOD, GOOD MOVIE, GOOD COMPANY TOO!! =)

Today we also cooked a great meal together!! Craig made roast pork that was super dry and shoik, then Huai An made Lemon Chicken that was DELICIOUS and Tian Chuang and Yujin made bread and butter pudding that was scrumptious!! As usual i made vegetables that was tasty to me but tasteless to the rest.. OOPS! Hahaz!!

I am so full now with the milk and cream from the pudding churning in my stomach.. But it was super worth it!! Okie lah, now i need to be prepared for another week of school and also to get back to work!! Both school and real work! Going back to work this Saturday.. And i need to start on my assignments!! No more dragging Sheryl Chua!! If not end of the semester not enough time le!! Argh!!

Okie, i shall go continue to slack to end this week and start to work harder tomorrow then.. HAHAZ! Pray super hard that all will work out fine!! GO GO GO SHERYL!!

1 week has passed...

So, a week at school has passed and i have done pretty much i feel.. Hahaz! I have made MANY grocery trips and had much dinners eating with different friends! Things are starting to get back on track and i hope i settle down fast enough in order to get the momentum going again.. A 3 month break is really long enough for one to lose contact with the study self.. Hahaz!

I have finally moved all my items back to my new place.. But i am missing my Ipswich water bottle, tweety slippers and MY FAVOURITE CUP! So depressing.. To make things worse, i was in the city with Tian Chuang, Yu Jin and Joe on Friday and we went to City Beach.. MY MAXI DRESS IS NOW WORTH HALF ITS PRICE WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT! OMG! But okie lah, i wore the dress for Daryl's wedding and that is really worth much more than the $40 difference of the dress.. Hahaz.. Win some, lose some i guess..

Now i am in a dilemma, should i take a course that is easy to pass and maybe score but is not that beneficial? Or take one that is super beneficial but has a high risk in not doing well? I have asked MANY people and most of them support the decision in taking the more difficult but beneficial courses.. I guess to make it big in life, you have to take bigger risks too! Hahaz! So i have decided to take Fundraising and Hotel Ops and Mgt... Okie lah ah, i shall prove that no matter how shiong or tough things get, I WILL SURVIVE! Having survived Hotel Technology, i guess it shows that this semester would be fine too!! After all, i have got Tian Chuang with me! Hahaz!

Being back here without the Campus View Babes has forced me to come out of my little hiding shell and to reconnect with the awesome friends around.. I have been hanging out with Tian Chuang and Yu Jin recently and we have made so much stayover plans together.. HAHAZ! It is really fun having them around and they really do help me settle back in.. Huai An is back too! So the house is more Singaporean-ish now i guess? Hahaz! Today i cooked dinner for Huai An, Craig, Yu Jin and Tian Chuang! Made Laksa Fried Rice and Brownie! Wha, the Laksa Fried Rice is DAMN nice lah!! Thanks to AWESOME recommendation from Joyce Chen!! Hahaz!

Went to the Brisbane Chinatown yesterday with Joyce Chen and Shirley and i spent $50 on Asian Groceries! OMG! So much money spent this week! Hahaz! I am SUPER well stocked man! Got all the canned food, preserved pickles, bee hoon, soba noodles, miso paste and much much more! Oh! I also got my Hup Seng Cream Crackers to go with Coffee! MUAHAHAZ!

Okie, so tomorrow school starts at 9am and i super need to be sleeping soon.. Hahaz! Although i am taking 4 modules this semester, but i am going to attend 5 lectures! Cause i am interested in too many! And i pay so much, should make use of my time here right!! Hahaz! OH! And i got my work back! YIPEE!! Means i can work to earn my own living expenses!! Just need to ensure that it does not affect my studies and i have enough time for my assignments and all will be fine!!

NO WORRIES SHERYL! YOU WILL DO WELL THIS SEMESTER AGAIN! YOU KNOW YOU CAN DO IT AND YOU HAVE ALL THE SUPPORT YOU NEED BACK HOME! DO NOT FEAR THE SUBJECTS/FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT, LET THE PAPER FEAR YOU! =)

My new found family!
