Officially 3rd Yr!

i passed!! distinction again! whee~! =D waiting for possibly the last treat now because subsequently everything's going to be pass/fail i think. just wondering who it will be. it all boils down to jo3l3n3 now.

Week 1

Hey sorry about the lack of updates. Have been so tired at the end of the day that I really don't feel like updating anymore. It's like being home where everyone is probably doing the same stuff so it isn't as exciting as being overseas I suppose.

Got myself bangs and rebonded my hair. Looking like one of those china dolls now. LOL! Hair's really flat though. Bah.

That's us at the zoo when we went out with one of my Tasmanian classmates and her parents. =) brought them to bugis after that and they tried bubble tea, durian, steamboat/bbq and some dessert at food junction. they had fun! unfortunately it rained heavily the next day so they sort of wasted one day cos they couldn't go anywhere. Oh well, they were in transit to France as well so they didn't have that much luggage space to spare!

Will upload more photos when I get them from Anna and her dad. The zoo has changed quite a bit in terms of layout from the last time I visited it (which is a really long time ago).

Started work again at intercru1ses which has been good so far. =D managed to utilise whatever little german I have left in my brain with some passengers the other day.

Headed down to st james on sunday too with extended family! The songs were damn cheena! Like OMG. didn't understand 1/3 of the song and haven't heard of 1/2 of them! ><

Apart from eating etc, I don't think I've done much. Ok did some shopping yesterday for the 'clinical-ish' clothes and went to BTNR for a morning walk last sat. Gonna have a bbq at my place later! whee~! Loves it!

Alright it should go eat my breakfast which is a ginormous bao that's bigger than my fist!

Sunny Island

finally back in sunny singapore after a rather eventful return home. hopefully it will never happen again. argh. i missed my flight. >< whoops. long story.

Unsuccessful.

i didn't get the 5GH attachment. =( oh well. i'm actually not massively upset. this just means that i can actually have a holiday while working too! =D

Finally met Karin!

oh and i forgot to mention!!

I FINALLY MET KARIN after my 1st paper! OMGGG!!!

was at the art school for faith's exhibition because she's returning to sg. she decided not to finish her degree as it isn't what she wants to do.

anyway was about to leave the art school when i saw someone who looked like karin walk towards me! think she was preparing for her graduation exhibition that's on tmr! she asked me to go see but i don't have the details! eeks! think i've got her number somewhere but i need to look for it.

i can finally tell gina that i've met her! HAHAHA! =)

3 boxes and counting.

3 boxes later. at least my shelf is starting to look empty. =)

lol recall the similar posts last yr? my gosh! time flies!

Dinner with SGIA Vice GD

I shall take back what I said about no japanese food in Hobart apart from sushi. Oh my ignorance. That's why I said I need a car. =D Technically there's Orizuru behind Mures but I'm not willing to pay that much for food.

We headed out to Moonah's Kawasemi Japanese Teahouse which is run by one of our soka members! Yummy yummy! I had the Dinner Bento Set and it came with sashimi, sushi, tempura, potato salad etc! It was goooodddddd...!! Gotta wait for Andy to upload the photo of the food.

We then had green tea pancake filled with custard and it came with matcha ice cream too! Om nom nom! Too bad I don't have a picture of this but just imagine a green crepe roll with custard and a scoop of ice cream on the side with green tea sauce drizzled all over.

Drooling yet? ;)

The bento set cost only $18! That's really dirt cheap in Tasmania! I've never eaten at a restaurant without having to fork out more than $20! The dessert was $4.50 but it was well worth it. Did I mention that the owner is Japanese too? That's how authentic it is. Not your dodgy Japanese looking place serving sushi but it is overrun by Chinese people.

Everyone should go try it if they have a car! Seriously good value for money.
