12 more weeks to home!!

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! =)


Thursday: Did nothing much.. Wrote my essay which has too much words now.. So irritating...

Friday: Had lesson in St Lucia till 2pm.. Then went to meet Ming Jun and Ancella to collect my bridge to brisbane marathon race pack.. Lucky me, had his help.. 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..


Then night time i met Xue Ying, went for nice awesome bubble tea!! First time try, Winter Melon and Lemon Green Tea with Aiyu Jelly.. SHOIKNESS TO THE MAX! Also, I wear nice nice to school for first time leh! =)


Then we headed to this Singapore Buzz event where Hossan Leong was being invited to come and perform.. Met Benedict at the hotel.. HOSSAN LEONG IS SUPER FUNNY AND TALENTED LAH! He is really good please! So honoured to have went for the event.. Then after that there was buffet food! WHA! Got Nasi Briyani, Nasi Goreng, Sambal Belachan, Tau Kua with Beans in Chilli Sauce, Rojak, Gula Melaka Sago and MANY MORE! DAMN NICE PLEASE AND IT IS FREE!! Hahaz!!


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.. Was heading to Chen Pei's place for dinner.. So Chen Pei whipped up a GOOD MEAL for me lah, with just a microwave! AMAZING! Once again, please look at the pictures!


Awesome Cream Cheese and Berries Dessert!


Sunday: BRIDGE TO BRISBANE Run 2009! Did a 10km event with my TP coursemate, Grace and her 3 other males friends.. It was amazing lah.. 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! =)

These are the pictures taken today!!

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.. Today simple sleep and eat man... Never do work at all lah.. OOPS! Hahaz!

So now, another week has passed.. And i want to sleep le..My eyes are burning man.. Sleep early, tomorrow wake up early to do work.. Cannot slack anymore le..

OH MY GOODNESS!! The lightning is damn bright and the thunder is damn loud! Going to storm at Ipswich! And I AM HUNGRY AGAIN! Hahaz... Shall go sleep le.. Uploading so many photos to use up my internet.. HAHAZ!

Till then, take care everyone!! I miss you all and i am going to work hard, perservere and do well!! Then can happy happy go back Singapore and enjoy! =)

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! =)

Enough talking, more photos!! =)

ATAS Chocolates being used!

Feel the LOVE!!

Then Bread and Butter Pudding!


Then had Hungry Jack's Breakfast Wrap for lunch! Thanks Joyce and Xue Ying! So feel the love!! =)


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!!

Got Hawker Feel not?

Then now, i am SUPPOSED to like write my Gaming Essay le, but have not churned out anything since Friday.. NEED TO STOP PROCRASTINATING!! ARGH!!!

OH! Did the most random thing today!! I just sign up for the Bridge to Brisbane Run this weekend!! HAHAZ! 10km! So long never run le, one times good one run 10km in the hot weather! Good luck to me man!! =)

Fruitful week...

Okie! So yet again, another week has passed and it has been rather exciting ah! We attempted to make new things this week and it was a success!! Hahaz!

Although i am not really happy with my results regarding my F&B 1st Submission.. Haiz, put in so much effort and thoughts, but the result like shit.. Going to see my lecturer on Tuesday to review it and see where i am improve.. Of course i would love a new grading, but most importantly, i want to know where i am lacking of and where i can improve.. So yeah..

Tuesday I had JAPANESE RICE BALLS for lunch! Made by Shuk and Ming Xian with love!! Super simple yet heartwarming and delicious!


Then for F&B lesson, I had a CHOCOLATE WORKSHOP! Hahaz! YES, managed to try 6 different types of AWESOME chocolates lah! Really love the lesson!!

Chocolate in the mouth!

Wednesday night after dinner, Joyce, Ming Xian and me felt restless, so we decided to make chocolate nutty bars and chocolate cornflake clusters! DAMN NICE CAN!! Hahaz! Simple and super uber shoik lah!! Can make in Singapore!! =)

Thursday was exciting too with pancakes for breakfast! And i attempted to make strawberry compote and I must say, it is AWESOME ah! Hahaz! Success!! Had a great breakfast to start the day!! Then in the evening Joyce and Xue Ying left for Sydney le... To enjoy SEAFOOD!

Friday i went to DFO after lesson!! But as usual, prepare ALOT of money to go and shop, but i only spent $12 in total.. $10 on a pair of black Cotton On shorts, and $2 on a birthday card.. Hahaz.. That is all leh! So disappointing right... But it was okie lah. =)

Saturday lunch i attempted to cook beef stir fry noodles.. To me it is quite nice lah, not sure about the other babes.. Hahaz!

Filled with beef, capsicum, carrot, brocolli, mushroom and noodles!

Then at night we had SUSHI!! AWESOME SIMPLE SUSHI with Crabstick, Cucumber, Tuna, Corn, Sausage, Wasabi, Mayo and Light Soya Sauce!! DAMN SHOIK LAH! After dinner we watched the rugby match between All Blacks and Wallabies! OH YEAH! ALL BLACKS WON!! Hahaz! Ming Xian and me got rather excited during the match, it was quite funny.. HAHAZ! See men fly, feeling excited for them, feeling pain for them when you see them bleeding or getting squashed and stuff.. Hahaz! Here are some Sushi Photos!

My First Attempt..

2nd attempt looks better!


Enjoying the Sushi!


Yum yum!!


Yi Wen actually wraps great sushi!

Sunday! Which is today, did a little work, more slacking.. Hahaz.. Went to Coles with Ming Xian to get groceries and the DRUMSTICK STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM that is on offer! Then had SUPER SALTY Oyakudon for dinner.. Sorry babes and Huai An! =( Did not estimate properly... Before that, was baking Almond and Cranberry Biscotti as requested by Joyce! Hahaz.. I hope she do not have access to my blog till she is home tomorrow morning to see the biscottis on the table.. Hahaz..

Biscotti anyone?


The biscotti a little fail though, think i never bake long enough the first round, so when i cut it, it was still quite mushy.. Come out look quite mashed up.. HAHAZ!! Ooops!

Hahaz.. As you can see, i decided to upload photos to use up my internet.. HAHAZ! This week is going to be exciting too!! Need to get started on 3 other essays and 2 presentations... So yeah..

Oh! Was damn happy when my mum called today! Little short updates that just brightens my day! So i have said enough for this entry.. Looking forward to this week, cause it means another week closer to home! Hahaz.. Okie lah, i am also enjoying myself here with the Campus View babes! Hahaz..

Till the next entry, take care my family and friends.. LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!! This has been an exciting week and i have truly enjoyed myself!

Remember: Whatever that does not kill you only makes you stronger! =)

3 weeks into Australia...

Okie, so 3 weeks have pass since i reached here.. This week has been super exciting with Ekka starting the week and ending with Chicken Rice for dinner.. Hahaz!

Monday: Ekka! Had the AWESOME Dagwood Dog (sausage wrapped in dough and fried), saw many animals, took loads of photos, had Chicken Pau and AMAZING fireworks to end the night!! Had a really great time that day...

Tuesday: Food and Beverage Management lesson.. Had wine tasting in class and tried 4 wines, 2 whites and 2 reds.. How interesting right my lesson!!

Wednesday: It was raining HAIL STONES for like 5 minutes! Hahaz! Then i went to meet Felicia at the city where we went for nice Japanese food and had a great catch up!

Thursday: Had no school.. Went to Riverlink in the late afternoon and ended up till late at night.. Hahaz.. Bought a pair of leggings!! Hahaz!!

Friday: Had school and went to have nice Thai food after managing to squeeze 7 people in a 5 seater car.. Hahaz! OH! I SAW MOONCAKES! GOT DURAIN, PANDAN, LOTUS, RED BEAN and the NUT one!! OMG!! I was so tempted to buy lah! But managed to curb the craving cause later buy le not nice then it will be very disappointing.. 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 had lunch which is the leftover pie from yesterday.. Then went out to get some scrapbooking items, ended up getting some stuff to make for myself.. Like so loser right.. Hahaz!! 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.. So today has been a self-procliamed holiday where i seriously did NOTHING with regards to school work..

Oh my goodness, i DESPERATELY need to get started on my work lah.. I have been procrastinating for the whole week le.. This is really bad.. OH! And i got a job! 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!!

Tomorrow is the start of a new week, I NEED TO REALLY GET STARTED WITH MY WORK! Jia you Sheryl, you know you can, you know you HAVE TO.. So no more excuses, enough of resting for the past 3 weeks.. Time to really get down and dirty with work... Plan well so that you will do well too!! =)

Till then, take care my family and friends.. 13 more weeks to hearing the super noisy Sheryl back in the warm and sunny Singapore which i always proudly call HOME!

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! =)

Back in the COLD!

I am back in Brisbane my friends! So a new semester is going to start.. More food, cookouts, projects, stress, gossips, fun and more!! Looking forward to this semster because it will be the last semster that all 6 of us will be together..

Also looking forward because got new friends here!! Tian Chuan, Yu Jin, Chen Pei and Poh Suan! Awesome man! Hahaz.. Caught the AWESOME syndrome from Lisa...

This semster is going to be fast, stressful yet exciting.. Just got this very strong feeling about it.. Awesome.. Hahaz... So school is going to start tomorrow, but my timetable for this semester is only on Tue, Wed and Fri! So yeah!

Missing home, but apparently coping better as compared to yesterday.. Think yesterday too tired and disoriented from the flight.. Dehydration makes your brain go wild! Hahaz..

OH! I got a new BED! IT IS AWESOME LAH! Sleep until DAMN SHOIK! Last semster i everytime morning 7am or 8am will wake up despite how late i sleep cause the bed too painful to sleep on.. Now ah, damn comfortable lah! Die, means i will be sleeping till late and not studying instead.. Hahaz.. My mum so cute lah, she say, "Last sem you never sleep well so lose so much weight.. Now you got good bed, sure won't lose weight one." HAHAZ!

But having a good night rest is essential for the brain to focus! HAHAZ! So 4 more months and then i can prove whether my theory is correct.. =) Bad bed = Good results..
Good bed = Good results too?

HAHAZ! Can see obviously i am being lame.. Okie.. Till the next entry, take care everyone.. LOVE YA ALL!!

Tonight!

OKIE! In less than 5 hours i will be going back to Brisbane with Yiwen and we shall embark on a new journey! Yiwen will be embarking on her last semester while i will be embarking on my 2nd last! Hahaz! I am looking forward to it because i know it WILL definitely be an exciting semester!! With more great food, laughter, projects and gossips!! With the Campus view babes, Poh Suan and Chen Pei, SURE exciting!!

But what really sucks is that i have to leave my friends and family here in Singapore.. And also i am going to celebrate my 21st Birthday overseas lah.. 20/09/2009... WHAT CAN BE A NICER DATE RIGHT? Imagine, 20/09/2009, Sunday, cut cake at 20:09... AWESOME MAN! Hahaz.. Dreaming le.. I am sure i am going to be super busy with school projects and more lah.. Hahaz.. Oh wells..

Okie, i shall off my computer and pack it already.. The next time i am switching it on, i will be in Brisbane!! Going to enjoy my wonderful dinner prepared with loads of love by my mother.. Till then, take care everyone.. I will be back in 4 months time to irritate everyone!! HAHAHZ!

Please take care everyone!! TREASURE all your family and friends always! And must remember to thank eveyone in your life!! So to all my family and friends, LOVE YA ALL!! 4 more months and i am back! MUAHAHAHHAHAHAHZ!

TOO FAST!

Times flies like seriously TOO FAST! I am going back to the freezing Brisbane in like 2 days time! ARGH!! Part of me dread going back cause i have to leave the comfort of home, family and friends.. But then again, part of me is also looking forward to the new semester, new subjects and more exciting adventures to come with the campus view babes..

Just took my weight today.. So amazing lah, one can take 4 months to lose 4KG, but just 4 weeks to gain it all back! Hahaz.. Singapore has too much good food to resist.. And i have to admit, i have been eating like a complete glutton, as if Singapore is not going to sell the items anymore.. Hahaz! And because i look much skinnier than before, many have been giving me food to eat to fatten me up to my original shape and size.. Hahaz..

I like the way my mum put it.. She said, " You have gained 4KG of happiness!" Thanks mum, you never fail to make me feel better and make it all work out and be right for me.. This month being back, has been super hectic for me.. With many things on my agenda daily, to meet this person for lunch, this person for dinner, hangout here for lunch, hangout here for dinner and all.. It has really been jam packed to the maximum to fully utilise the 1 month being back here.. I have been sleeping at 1 or 2am in the morning and waking up at like 9am daily since i came back.. Super amazing lah..

I have really enjoyed the time i have spent through this month.. But i feel that i have not given myself much time to just relax and do nothing.. I miss those days where you can sit down, sip a cup of tea and relax your whole day through.. Then again, this seems to suit the Australia laid back lifestyle... Singapore is too fast paced to lead such a life i guess... Oh no, i have become influenced to take things slow! Hahaz..

But in life, we really do need to set some time for ourselves.. To relax, chill and rejuvenate.. I have so much to say, yet again i am too lazy to type.. To cut things short, the trip back this time has made me realise how people are intimidated by their size... And also, how fortunate i am to have such wonderful friends..

My poly mates: Swee Kee, Candice, Shi Hui, Hazel, Chaplin and Gavin.. Thank you for surprising me at the airport when i was SUPPOSED to surprise you all lah! Thanks for the wonderful Seah Im dinner too.. =)

My besties: Lisa and Charity, thanks for spending time with me.. Helping me to make up, straighten my hair, putting up with my bitch fit and stuff..

My brothers: Ian, Mark, Syafiq, Delong and Rennie.. Thanks for taking time out to spend time with me.. Thanks for all the jokes shared and many many extra memories.. You guys are really awesome BROTHERS that i am so fortunate to have!

My son: Thank you for all the encouragement.. You never fail to cheer me up and keep me going through the good and bad times.. Love you loads!

My Tri Team: Thanks for meeting up at 85.. So sorry i did not turn up for training.. Keep saying i want to go, but then plans changed after that.. The next time i come back in end November, MUST train le! Taking part in the 10km Standard Charterd Marathon.. Don't wanna kill myself with the 21 or 42.. Hahaz... Sorry could not join you guys for the RACE GAME on Sunday, family commitments.. I really do miss you all.. Thomas, jia you for your test yeah! =)

Last but definitely not least.. My family.. For making the effort to accomodate to me, bring me to great places, creating wonderful experiences and memories to keep me going for the new semester.. Love you all so much..

And also Priscilia! Thanks for watching Transformers with me! Do have fun and take care in Europe yeah! Misses and loves!

To end: THANK YOU, EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU THAT I HAVE MET THROUGH THIS 1 MONTH BREAK.. I AM REALLY HONOURED AND THANKFUL TO HAVE YOU GREAT PEEPS IN MY LIFE.. LOVE YA ALL SO FREAKING MUCH!

A new semester is going to begin.. And i am going to give my bestest shot once again!

A little update..

Wha! So fast 2 weeks have flew past in a flash lah! So far it has been great!

Friday night went to Balcony and Timbre with Mark, Lisa, Syafiq and Delong.. BALCONY FOOD, DRINKS and SERVICE SUCKS TO THE MAX! DO NOT GO THERE, SURE REGRET! But Timbre is GREAT! =)

Saturday attended a cousin's wedding dinner.. Has been months since i went to a wedding dinner.. Saw a really pathetic distant relative getting drunk and falling flat on the floor halfway through the dinner..

Sunday night had a good late night stroll by East Coast Park.. Then went to buy Rochor Tau Huay and Chin Chow! YIPEE!!

Yesterday had a great day with Lisa, Charity and Doreen! Baked pineapple tarts, went to Carl's Junior at ECP then at night had a WONDERFUL girl's night out! Took a WHOLE DARN LOAD of pictures and it was super funny yet exciting! Hahaz!!

Today had PRATA in the morning, bakes banana muffin with Lisa.. I still cannot believe we MANAGED to wake up at 930am despite sleeping at like 4am plus... Then came home, had lunch with my mum and brother, then went to play badminton with my brother.. MY POOR ARMS ARE GOING TO DROP OFF REALLY SOON! Hahaz!

Really managed to spend quality time with my family and besties.. This is a really short update cause my right arm really no strength now.. Hahaz! But even though it is a really short update, i really had a ball of time over the whole of last week.. And i am confident more will come!!

=)

My results are out!

I survived! Results are out! 6.25! Yeah!

There is no place like home...

After being overseas twice, i guess i am qualified to say that there is no place like home.. Home can be my home, my family, my friends and SINGAPORE! I have to say that even though we are so restricted in Singapore, it is the BEST PLACE TO LIVE IN! Queensland got Best Job in the World, I say Singapore got Best Place to Live in the World.. But then again, this is my own personal view, so if you have any conflicting views, i would respect it... =)

No racist attacks, perfect racial harmony, shops are open at like 930pm, supper till late night, can walk home SAFELY when i am ALONE (could not do this in Shanghai nor Brisbane)... How time has flew past, 1 week has gone.. I only have 2 and a half more weeks in Singapore before embarking on a new semester again..

This week has been busy with gatherings of family, close friends and team tri.. Really miss these peeps the most when i am in Australia.. I am really looking forward to meeting my sexy stuff next Friday!! Hahaz.. Going to Timber, which i do not know where it is.. Hahaz...

I have been told by many that i have lost weight.. Yes i have.. But do not worry, because i DO eat and i am not starving myself.. Maybe because i have been having too much vegetables in Australia.. Hahaz.. Can ask the Campus View babes, i think they will know best.. =) As i have not been exercising, i have lost much of my muscle mass.. It is quite upsetting for me because all along i have been very proud of my muscle mass.. Being back in Singapore means going for training and building my muscles again!!

Many have told me to stay this size, say i look better and all.. I do appreciate the comment, but would you all rather me be skinny and super nuah, or a little bigger in size yet tough.. I would rather be bigger in size, yet tough, because i know i am still sporty, healthy and fit.. Why are we living in a world where size matters? What is wrong with being a little bigger in size? We have all conformed to "slim is beautiful" mindset.. I have seen so many, family and friends, change over the years, thinking that they are fat, when they obviously are not.. I have even seen people resorting to slimming pills, abstaining from food and much more..

Whatever size my family or friends are, i will ALWAYS accept them for who they are.. Most importantly, is that we are all healthy.. Life is fragile, life is short... Eat the things you love, do the things you love, but always in moderation.. As long as we are healthy, we can live a longer life, enjoy more things in life, appreciate the little things in life, create more beautiful memories in your own and other people's lives.. Why not?

I am sick of people telling me things like, you look much better now, last time was a bit fat, you should stay this way and all.. I mean, if you are complementing that i have lost weight, and say i look better like that i am perfectly fine with it.. But why must some compare to the past, and label me as fat when i obviously know i am not? The worst thing, such comments come from my own grandma and aunt.. Oh wells, this is life, just got to handle it i guess..

Okie, enough ranting for one entry.. I should focus on the happy stuffs.. Such as the super good food and company that i have been having for the past week.. From Bah Chor Mee, Pandan Cake, Carrot Cake (Black and White), Char Kway Teow, Chinese Pastry Cakes, Tau Sar Piah, Beh Teh Soh and Tang Yuan! So many more to come!! The best one, is my mum's own cooking.. SEDAP i tell you! Simple, easy yet full of love in it!

I also went for crab buffet at Ellenbrough Market.. SUPER SHOIK! Ate till my stomach was literally in pain from all the good food! The dessert was really sedap too! From durian puree, bo bo cha cha, pulut hitam, almond cream, sweet tapioca, cheng tng, tau suan, chocolate fondue, cakes and more!! MUAHAHAHAZ!


Tonight i am going to my ah yi's (mum's sister) place for dinner.. I am sure i am going to be super bloated again because she ALWAYS never fails to cook DELICIOUS food for everyone!! =)

I am quite sure i will be gaining weight back in Singapore.. But who cares! Happiness comes from the food we consume! Hahaz! I am sure Joyce Xu and Ming Xian will agree! Go back Australia eat more vegetables to balance the super loads of meat i am consuming daily.. Hahaz!

Okie, will the next entry, take care people!

YES AH!

I HAVE FREAKING FINISHED MY PAPER!!

YES AH! But i am not sure about the turnout for it.. Manageable, but still like some doubt here and there..

OH WELLS! OVER LE! I WANNA GO HOME!! WHY MY DAD DON'T LET ME GO HOME! ARGH!

OH! My besties DECIDED to help me MATCHMAKE! How LOVING can they get?! HAHAHZ!!

I miss you all so much.. And now that exams are over, the more i want to go home..

BUT OH WELLS! MELBOURNE AND HOBART, HERE I COME!! =)

1 MORE FREAKING SUDAY!

ARGH!! SO NEAR YET SO FAR LAH!! My last paper is on the 24th, Wednesday... BUT IT SEEMS LIKE ETERNITY!

I am super restless, because i feel that i am like studying without a direction.. No past year paper, no examples, how i know what it is going to be like?! IRRITATED!Human Resource is like common sense, yet it has so much information.. It is like, at the end of the day, it is the HR managers ability to match the employees objectives to the organisation's business objectives to achieve the strategic business objectives.. Yeah.. But during this process, you have so many things lah, starting from your job analysis to come up with the job description and specification, then you interview, then you train the person, still got exit interview and so many more!! ARGH!! I have read the textbook le, in some way i do understand what is going on...

The thing is, this time, they change the exam format to include SHORT ANSWER, 5 QUESTIONS! So, i have to MEMORISE the terms, the process and many other information involved lah! But quite lucky the tutor got give topics to scope down.. Better than nothing lah ah... Used to be 100% MCQ though...ARGH! It is so irritating lah!

Keep thinking of after exam plans le.. Wednesday after my paper go City shop shop alone.. Thursday go Booval with the capus view babes to shop shop.. Friday go PICNIC and Blue Restaurant.. Saturday have pancakes for breakfast then go City again but this time with all the Campus View babes.. Sunday nuah and relax to the MAX!

I CANNOT WAIT FOR WEDNESDAY TO COME! Then i can really say I AM DONE WITH A SEMESTER LE!! OMG!! So tired, yet still need to keep pushing on!! Jia you babe! You know you can!! Regarding the HR paper, just revise again, memorise the major topics diligently and put in your very best! As long as you know you have put in the best effort, there will be no regrets and you will reap the results!

GO GO GO SHERYL! THE WELL DESERVED BREAK IS COMING IN 3 MORE DAYS!! FOCUS FOR JUST 3 MORE DAYS! YOU CAN DO IT!!! =)

I SO FREAKING MISS MY FAMILY, FRIENDS AND SINGAPORE!! =)

2 more Sundays!

Oh my goodness! The exams has officially started! Had my first paper yesterday, Business Law.. Did not have enough time to finish it lah.. SUCKS! But i did my best and that is all that matters... Tomorrow got another paper at 230 pm.. Nervous, excited yet scared..

Tomorrow is Hotel Technology Applications, the one i did the project on my own and chiong all the way to win at the Holiday Inn Brisbane.. I WANT to do well for the paper, i WANT to get a 7 for this subject because i know i have put in so much effort..

Yet as the time passes to be closer to the exams, i start to doubt if i have prepared myself well enough? Have i missed out any vital information that would be asked tomorrow and i do not know how to answer? It seems like my answers look right to me, yet when i review the lecture notes, i tend to find more information that i have not written them down at all... I have so many fears in me right now, but chatting with Lisa and Ian has help to make me feel better and more calm...

I have been rather healthy since i came here till now.. Then when exam period then i fall sick lah! Like got sore throat on Thusday night, then no voice yesterday, now got flu and slight cough... Oops! Swine flu alert! Hahaz. CHOI MAN!

I shall go sleep soon to rest and be all geared up for tomorrow's paper.. I know i will do well, cause i know i can...So cheer up and jia you Sheryl.. 2 more weeks and you are officially done with this semester... Now just focus on getting the paper nailed tomorrow! You know you can do it and you will achieve the results that you deserve after working so hard!! =)

Just want to say, i am really happy that my bestie is 21 years old le.. Proud of you babe.. And i really miss you babes loads.. I am glad that you babes had fun last night, although i know that it is somewhat different without me being there.. =) Hahaz.. So thick skin ah... Hahaz.. Oh wells, i shall go rest and be geared up for my 2nd paper tomorrow!! WISH ME LUCK PEOPLE!! =)

IT IS ALL WORTH IT!

OH MY GOODNESS!! I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE IT THAT I WON THE WHOLE COMPETITION!!

After being the winner of the course, i also won the Holiday Inn Presentation!! I am really lucky, to have focused on the basics rather than talk more on the other stuffs.. I am really drained, yet so happy.. This is so totally worth the work and effort lah!

After the countless stress and late nights, i am OFFICIALLY done with the competition.. Now i need to focus on EXAMS!! Which i so want to do well!! But there seems to be a limit to the time! Cause my first paper is on this Saturday 13th June! ARGH!!

I SINCERELY WANT TO THANK ALL WHO HAVE BEEN GIVING ME SO MUCH MORAL SUPPORT! Thank you Shuk Wai for waking up so early with me, rehearsing with me and being my assistant for the day.. Thanks Yiwen, Ming Xian and James for rushing down after finishing their report.. Thanks Joyce, Xue Ying and Aaron for the moral support and brightening up my day with their joyous laughter this morning... I am so honoured to have friends like all of you, despite not sleeping for the whole night, you babes and hunks still came to support me all the way.. =)

Not forgetting all those in Singapore too!! =) You all know who you are, so yeah! I feel the LOVE man!! Evee ah! Thanks ah!! =)

So after the presentation, we went to Indroopilly for lunch! I had HUNGRY JACKS WHOPPER JUNIOR! First Beef burger since i came here.. Verdict, erm, i think got no difference with Singapore's Burger King... Hahaz... Then it was off to DFO to SHOP!! I spent $20, bought 2 tops! Now winter, cannot wear.. Wait till summer then can wear!

Then dinner we went to SIZZLER!! OMG! I SERIOUSLY HAVE NEVER ATE SO MUCH BEFORE LAH! Think i too high le, brain disconnected from the stomach... I eat until i LITERALLY could not breathe and felt like puking.. That was how greedy i was.. The Tuna Nicoise Salad was GOOD! And the other various seafood salad, vegetables, fruits, soups, bread and DESSERT! The Vanilla and Chocolate ice cream was shoik! And the TIRAMISU CAKE! HEAVEN MAN!! Put on much calories today, BUT WHO CARES! It is a NEED to indulge sometimes... Hahaz!!

Okie, i got to go sleep soon.. Need to wake up early cause i am volunteering for a school event tomorrow.. Wait for my facebook pictures to come up!! =)

It is time to start the exam battle! =)

3 Sundays more..

Okie! School has unofficially ended.. This week is study week and then 2 weeks of exams.. Oh my goodness, it is quite amazing how time has just flew past..

Oh! Anyway I am the winner for the HOSP 2002 course that i was so stressed about.. Got the highest grades in the batch so far.. So i qualify to go Holiday Inn Brisbane to present! Going to compete with another 2 teams this Tuesday, 9th June.. I am really happy that i got in, but i also start to worry that i might not have enough time to study.. My first paper is on the 13th June, followed by 15th June.. Timing is quite tight for this week.. Tuesday presentation, then go DFO shop.. Then Wednesday got volunteer work at school.. Then Saturday my paper le.. Oh my goodness.. Really hope that i can cope!!

As the weather gets colder night by night, i get hungrier day by day.. Hahaz! Had KAYA TOAST TODAY with MILO!!! So feel the love from Ming Xian and Shuk Wai as i had my brunch with them today... Then dinner was a medley of dishes ranging from miso soup, noodles, chawamushi and baked sweet potato! Darn, i am feeling hungry again.. Oops!

I am 1 chapter behind time for today!! ARGH! And i haven't even memorise my script for the 5 minutes presentation lah! Shit man! Sometimes i wonder if it is woth the opportunity cost.. Put in so much for a 5 minute presentation... Oh wells! I have come so far, should go all out for it! I want to do my very best and WIN!

Had a mini toast with the other 5 babes at Campus View today.. Joyce bought a good bottle of sparkling wine and we popped it! Cheers to Tuesday for their submission of thier final impact report, and cheers to me for my presentation! Everything will turn out splendid!

I should go and sleep already.. My brain is not absorbing and the business law book is a lullaby to me.. Once i read it, my eyes start to close.. Shall wake up early tomorrow to study then..

Jia you everyone, all the best for the upcoming exams.. Stay focused and determined Sheryl, you KNOW you want to do well, and you KNOW you WILL DO IT.. Loves! 3 more Sundays and we can all sit back and RELAX!! Can proudly say we FINISHED A SEMESTER!! =)

Damn tired le, shall call it a day even though there is still so much to be done!! ARGH!! Turning mad ah!! Damn irritating!!

So another week has passed.. And i am cleared of ALL HOSP 2002 PROJECTS!! Did my presentation on Wednesday with the help of Xue Ying as my 'secretary'.. Hahaz! Needed her help to click the powerpoint slides.. Thanks babe!

Wha, so i presented for a good 16 to 17 minutes for the presentation lah! Talk until the mouth SUPER DRY! But i am glad it is all done, now just awaiting for results!!

So this week is revision week le.. Last week of school before the study break and exams!! ARGH!! It is quite amazing how this semester has passed.. It is fast, and i do not deny it.. I like it this way, because it makes me feel like i will be going home sooner.. Though November is like so freaking far away.. Dis-illusion myself first.. Hahaz.. Keeps me motivated to go go go!!

Just need to tahan till this Wednesday, then i can slack for 2 days and start studying for my exams le.. OH MY GOODNESS!! EXAMS!! Have not sat for them in like 2 years?! Best of luck to me man!!

Good night everyone..

4 more Sundays Sheryl and you can OFFICIALLY take a SUPER DEEP BREATH and say, I AM DONE WITH SEMESTER 1!

6 Sundays to go...

Okie, i am so supposed to finish my project by tody and submit it tomorrow.. BUT, I CANNOT SEEM TO FINISH IT! And i already have 100 pages and still counting lah! I really pity my tutor, i think her eyes will go bonkers.. I have yet to finish the final 20% and i am blogging, cause i super got no mood to do now!

Have been staring at the computer the whole day lah! But this week has been not bad, other than chionging the project like mad..

Oh! I bought myself a RED iPOD NANO! Hahaz.. With this $200 Gift Card that i won from a bank.. Hahaz.. Was so pek chek that the card could not be used in so many places, so i decided to try to get the iPod online.. AND WOW! IT WENT THROUGH! Hahaz!

Today i FINALLY managed to skype with mummy and daddy!! Skyped with my brother last Wednesday and it was so nice to hear his voice.. I am so looking forward to the next family gathering together... Look forward is the word, cause it is really VERY FORWARD lah.. Sian..

Oh! I happily left my tumb drive in the school library! I remembered to click the safely remove option, but forgot to manually pull it out! So STUPID CAN! Lucky i got back up of my work.. But that thumb drive is a gift and i so want to get it back! Hope a nice soul found it and will return to the library desk.. Then tomorrow when i go and ask it is found!

So as usual, i delay my schedule again.. Should finish by today, now change to Tuesday.. Cause tomorrow i got school and i am going to the City in the night to meet Xue Ying's friend.. I thought i could enjoy in peace tomorrow.. But i doubt it now!! Then again, i deserve a break man, i have been working on this for like godzillion years lah! This is THE PROJECT of a lifetime man! I should print it le and frame it.. Hahaz...

As it gets colder here, i start to feel more hungry.. Like no matter how i eat not full one.. Don't know is the weather or the stress.. Just do not want to re-live my Shanghai days.. I desperately need to get warmer clothings! Did not prepare enough lah!! Think i in Singapore know, shorts and t shirts.. Hahaz..

Okie okie, i better get started on my project again before i sleep.. If not i think Tuesday also cannot finish.. Then i die man.. Hahaz.. Still got another presentation for this subject and a 50% report on sustainable tourism which i havent started yet! Oh My Goodness!! This is the best time to sing the Superman Song, SOMEBODY SAVE ME~~~

High le.. Must be the super good dinner today.. Korean paste fried rice by Miss Wu Xue Ying and Vietnamese Roll by Joyce Xu!! SUPER GOOD DINNER to keep my mood up today despite all the stress!! Hahaz!!

3 more weeks of school.. 1 week of revision.. 2 weeks of exams.. Then it is time for me to sit back, breathe and CHILLAX!

7 Sundays left!

Okie, i am going to make this entry super short because it is super late and i have got school tomorrow!

Have been super busy with the Hotel Technology project and i am chionging like a mad woman.. And I literally mean mad! It is like, i keep typing non stop but there are still so much to be done! I have stopped worrying and whining, but have got down to really do the work.. But it seems like there is not enough time at all!! Submission is on Thursday and i have yet to design the Webpage, explain the webpage, list the various internet and safety security issues and systems to deal with them, got the various distribution channels to mention, introduction, receommendations, advantages, how it affects the organisations and more more more!! I am really tired, but i know i just got to do it and freaking do it to my best!

Anyway, i got my exam timetable! Yeah!!

Okie, it is like 7 more Sundays before i can get my WELL-DESERVED break! NEED SLEEP! So good night!

Finally a decision made..

Today i have decided, to drop my groupmates and do this project all on my own.. I do not know what else to say.. I have given MORE THAN ENOUGH chances and it is time to stop dragging.. It is just a pity that because of one that gives shit work, i also have to lose the other one who produces work that is not that bad..

I am sure i can do it.. I KNOW I CAN.. No matter what, I am going to do my best and show myself as well as the super KPO group that SHERYL 是行的!

To end things off with on a lighter note, today is Ipswich Day! Went to the showground and had fun! Fun with trying some wines, beef jerky, lamb sausage, REALLY GOOD DAWOOD DOG, mini Dutch pancakes and strawberry ice cream! Also took LOADS of photos with farm animals and saw really FAT chickens!!

The night ended off with WONERFUL FIREWORKS DISPLAY!! Okie, i better go and sleep, got school tomorrow and i have to wake up at 530 in the morning!! FREAKING COLD!!

JIA YOU SHERYL!! YOU KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!!
