Is there more

Hello! It's been 2 long fun-as-heck weeks since I last posted. This blog desperately needs an update, so here it is.
I'm finally back home, in the comfort of my own bed. It feels good to be back! :)

I almost didn't make it on to the flight though, quite a stressful experience at the check-in counter just now. Well some system screw up I guess. Anw on the bright side, they gave me a seat next to the emergency exit, so I had lots of room to stretch my long legs. Was feeling really zonked cos of the accumulated lack of sleep. Didn't watch any movies though there were several good ones this month. Just listened to my iPod and slept through most of the flight.

Lol I've been sleeping around 5-ish, only to find half an hour later that the sun has risen.

The past 2 weeks have been really awesome, and I'm gonna miss Melbourne! Too lazy to post everything here, heh. I might post some photos.

Photos from Thursday's spontaneous lunch, followed by coffee at St Ali's:

Nice colours!

Finally a chance to ride on the new bumble bee tram! And get lost at Albert Park too :S

Wei Xiong and me. Lol the red and blue outfits, plus our erm you-know-what stuff made us look incredibly gay.

To die for latte!

Lap Pong and Sarah :)

Oh happy day

Ah yes! 3 papers over, just left with one more essay to do over the weekend. So anyone with lots of knowledge of the post-Kyoto protocol agreement, come come and share them with me.
I'm glad that my papers are finally over. Especially BPA, it's such a b.s. subject! My ordeal with BPA is finally OVER! (I hope so at least) My brain can rest from all that cramming. I'd rather do essays than cram!
Had lunch today after BPA with mummy and sis at De Grave's. As I type this they've probably just touched down Singapore. Well my turn is in 2 weeks :) I've gotta pack up my stuff and vacate the room, grr so troublesome!

Hmm Scott likes to use the word 'flippin' so I was bored and decided to look it up on my trusty apple dictionary:
flipping |ˈflipi ng | |flɪpɪŋ| |ˈflɪpɪŋ|
adjective [ attrib. ] informal chiefly Brit.
used for emphasis or to express mild annoyance : are you out of your flipping mind?
Totally random.

Today's post title is such cos I found a nice song :) And it was sung by Mr Jason Mraz! :) I remember singing this song a long long time ago back in choir, heh. It's a song from Sister Act.

Anyway while studying at Frank Tate today, we spotted 2 martians:
Boo...Macs make great studying buddies! (hmm or distractions?)

I'm getting quite lazy to blog, which explains the lack of updates. Well my post today is rather long cos once I'm done with this, I've got to resume reading my journal articles and researching for my essay ):

Must start coming up with a list of things to do next week! :)

I believe, I believe

Lol incidentally the title comes from our "H1s song". I think I sorta corrupted the song, hehe cos some people said they can never look at it the same way again whenever we sing it.

My first paper is about to start in slightly more than an hour's time. Last minute studying doesn't really work for me, cos I subconsciously get panicky and the stuff I'm reading won't get absorbed into my brain.

I don't feel well prepared, but I'm not worried. Cos I'm believing and leaving it all to God! :)
Just like how me and Shiyou unexpectedly got H1 for our ATA assignment, a high H2B for GP even though I thought my essay was bad. He will take care of it all :)

Through You I can do all things!

Thank you to everyone who wished me. And all the best too to all those going through exams now!

I will live for You all my days

What a gloomy day, with the miserable weather. Hmm I kinda like having some of these days too, not nice and sunny days all the time. Random thought.

Anyway. Hello hello Grace I know you visit 5 times a day and expect an update every time. Hahaha! So I shall update about you this time :)

Happy 18th Birthday! Hope yesterday was a blast for you! Like you say, stay for 18+x forever :)
You're super awesome! Cos you use a Mac too :D

On a random note. Yesterday was exactly 1 year after ORD. No longer a conscript to the Gahmen. There's freedom in the Name of Jesus yo! Hahaha! The past one year passed so quickly.
Oh and Grace is munching on a biscuit from the combat ration pack. Lol.

One more week to go before the 3 papers are over and I nerd through the weekend on my take-home Global Politics paper. I can see the light!

I'm really looking forward to DNA Encounter tmr :)

Never could I be worthy

Hello sister! I know this comes a little late, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :)
Don't be too miserable nerding away for your exams! <3 you!

Btw, Clayton has really yummy Korean food!

Beyond a shadow of a doubt

Hello hello! Yes here are the photos from brunch on Saturday :) Still trying out CS3, comments and feedback are most welcome!

Breakfast was an this place called Auction Rooms in North Melbourne. Good stuff!

Coffeecoffeecoffee! That huge-ass thing on the right is some bean grinder or roaster. Done fresh at the cafe!

Pretty latte art! Someday I'll be able to do that :)

Chai latte with soy milk. Aka expensive algae. Haha kidding!

Shady deal - fried eggs with onion, chilli, garlic, spices, lemon and fresh mint on house-made flat bread. Sophisticated prata!

What I had: Counter bid - poached eggs, avocado and soft ricotta, on toasted sourdough with mint and chilli. Yummy stuff.


Lol.

Hello Mr Hoh!

It's the time of the year that houseflies are starting to spawn and infest Melbourne. Apparently it'll get much worse in Nov and Dec :( Eww.

More than I need

I had a haircut today, and I don't think it turned out too good. I don't like getting my hair cut in Melbourne. I wanna go back to my regular place at Sunshine Plaza!
The past couple of times I've tried different salons here. I chose the one today cos there was a nice display of Tigi Bedhead products at the shop. What a lame reason right, lol. Well, good products, but so-so haircut. So the end result was bad.

Dinner today was at Grill'd! Kern had one-for-one vouchers so dinner was worth it! I wasn't feeling too hungry and my tooth was hurting, but I still managed to finish the gi-normous burger, lol.

I have a reason to sing

What a miserable sneezy day. Had a nasty cold again today. My nose looks really red now, hope this stupid cold clears up when I wake up tomorrow!

Exams are drawing nearer and nearer. Scary, they are less than 3 weeks away and I don't even feel prepared. All surrendered to God, so I shall just make use of whatever time I have and not worry :) Need to make more efficient use of my time cos I'm terrible at that. Funny how so many people think I'm smart, which I disagree with.

Happy graduation and early birthday to Wei Ying :) And to Jason as well!

He's got the jones, He makes no bones

I love my coffee machine. Thank you everyone who bought it for me :) The coffee sorta kept me going last week, my assignment hell week. I think it has spoilt me too, cos I don't wanna go back to drinking 3-in-1 and brewed coffee.

And the aroma of the freshly ground coffee beans is... ahhhh... very satisfying. It's the nicest smell God could ever create. Pastor Russell preached about worship - the sound of heaven on earth. I reckon coffee is the smell of heaven on earth! Lol.

I'm till trying to perfect my latte. I think I'm almost there with the steaming of the milk, only the expresso shot that is still inconsistent. And I wanna learn to make cool latte art!
Everyone's welcome to be my guinea pig, come drop by my room to try out my coffee if you haven't :)
I used to buy 1 litre of milk at a time, and had to throw away some cos I could not finish all of it before it expired. Now I think it's like 2 litres every 4 or 5 days. Amazing eh.
Anyone wanna go for a barista course with me in November after the exams?

Would anyone kindly offer to give me a Photoshop CS3 crash course too? Hahaha. Looks so complicated and difficult to use.
