Hey all, sorry that I've neglected this space for quite some time. I've been real busy now cus I'm moving house from the mountains to the city central. I've just done moving and still getting everything tgt. I don't have Internet broadband at my new apartment at the moment so there's alot of things which i can't do on my laptop.
I'll update my blog once I get my Internet fixed up. So many things to update y'all about! Stay excited!
Xoxo!
today is the last day i'll be staying on campus. starting tomorrow, i'll no longer be in Blue Mountains.actually im starting placement only on the 19th, but i'll be meeting my family tml after my marketing exams. I'll send them off on wednesday aftenoon, and probably meet Pris who's gonna fly in on wed afternoon after her flight attendant shift ends. After wednesday ends, i'll move to shin's house temporarily for 3 weeks until she comes back from Korea. so within this 3 weeks, we have to find an apartment or we'll be homeless! hahaa. so thats the plan for now, and it means that its my last day here at the mountains. and i probably wont be able to meet the those (whom i know of) who're flying off.
so here's to you guys!
To Kenny,
Sorry i wont be able to send you off when u leave aus... im glad we met during the first day of orientation, when we were all stuck at YHA due to the storm. we became close friends (tgt with yimin) and hanged out together all the time. well, until the time came where all our timetables clashed and you went off to other classes. i will miss camwhoring with you at random moments. I hope you enjoyed your 6 months summer exchange here at Aus. though it was a short 6 months, we forged a life long bond. All the best for your final year at Les Roches and hopefully we'll meet again somewhere across the globe! Stay in contact yeah? xoxo!
To Wayne,
Congrats on graduating! U're probably in Canberra now. I know u'll survive well in your workplace cus u're smart and you know the ropes around. i hope you eventually go to Singapore to work, so you can experience the wonderful city i'm from (instead of always saying korea is the best) and we can talk about Spore! & dont bully the korean guys at your workplace hor! oh and get an ausssssie girlfriendddddd soon! hahaha. do continue to fire spray those nasty bugs!!! All the best in your future endeavours! (:
To Yimin & Patsy,
i know i'll never tell you guys all these this in your face, so here's a mean of writing it out. im not sure if you guys will ever read it, but mehhhhh.
No exact words can express how i feel. You guys are my life here in BM, without you guys, i'll probably be lost in ploughmans, lost in classes, lost outside. Im glad we became the "three sisters". haha. though we have our small disagreements at times, we were still together always. Im glad we stuck through thick & thin (: Hope you guys enjoy working together at hayman (WHICH IM TOTALLY JEALOUS OF) and we'll see each other back in campus yeah? dont you dare forget about me, i'll be crushed. haaaahaaaa. let's work hard in Year2, have lots of fun in our SINGLE ROOMS and get good placements once again, and i wish you guys all the best (:
LOVE Y'AAAAAAAALLLLL!!
To Blue Mountains,
THANKS FOR GIVING ME THIS OPPORTUNITY TO FORGE FRIENDSHIPS WITH ALL MY WONDERFUL PEOPLE. SEEYOU NEXT JULY!
Good to go! 3 luggages, 4 boxes, 1 shelf, 1 mirror. bye bye my dearest room, i'll miss you!

Its the first weekend of December! time for some updates!
I attended the Degustation Dinner last thursday. its like a 7 course tasting meal, matched with 7 different wines for each course. it was an enjoyable event that i finally got to attend! last term, i was still in practical and i was working for this event while watching other people don on their best dress and suit, and turn up for the event. this year, thou art not jealous anymore. This year, the theme was Around The World, meaning u're supposed to dress according to your country colour, and the meals will be according to the different countries. enjoy the photos! :)

so the week passed and we all had our presentations. boy was it a tough week, having different group meetings for different days. but all's good. managed to secure HighDistinction (HD) for my Business Communication , Distinction (D) for Management & Leadership and D for Marketing presentations! niceeeee, like the Ds and HDs. now, im left with my final exams and off i go to placement! so egggcited!
right, so the past thursday that i had, was another event of the school. it wasn't exactly for me to attend, it was Key Ceremony, its for graduates to receive their key from the school as a gift to signify they've graduated. i think.lol. anw the whole school was invited to attend the event, and eat nice seafood. HAHA! enjoy the photos!

Today, its a Saturday! went down to sydney city for apartment inspection. sighhh, both apartments didn't appeal to us at all. howwwwww! 1 week plus more to go before we have to leave school campus... anw, i started packing my luggage already, cus im gonna meet my parents right after i end my exams on monday(12/12), and i'll only be back at BM on the 14th. but school residence closes on the 14th, thus i have to move out early... which is before i meet my family on monday.
so we spent an hour packing my wardrobe and everything into the luggage and boxes. gonna shift them to Kyu's (guy in bottom left in grey hoodie) house tomorrow.
thankkkkkyouuuuuuuu jky for helping me pack my clothes and luggage and box :D |
gonna hunt for more houses on monday, and hopefully SOMETHING IS OF GOOD QUALITY!!! the price of rentals here in sydney CBD ain't cheap mannnn. the ones we went to inspect were $3200/month and $3000/month. sighhh, pleaseeeeee gimme a decent apartment to live in...
