Alritey, here comes part 2 of "Escape from school work day". We proceeded to Vanessa's house after buying the Macarons at Darling Harbour.

CEO's office. Nice eh???


Nicest KTV I've been to.


After KTV we went to this chinese restaurant Adelene recommended. Pictures are shown above. The food is not too bad, just that I think the guys wanted more meat. LOL! The dishes ordered were fish soup, brocoli, some pan fried fish and claypot tofu. NO MEAT!...but the food was quite nice la. After dinner we went home by bus. Sadly...our "Escape from school work day" ended...Time passes so fast when you are trying to relax and enjoy yourself. So unfair! Damn...

Anyway, the 1 week break is finally here. No more walking to school for a whole week. Many of my fellow sg friends have went back to Singapore. I'm sooooooooooooooooo jealous! Hahaha..Bet they are having fun man...I miss my family, my marist brothers, jc buddies etc etc. Damn I want to meet up and just chill with them. My flight back home is on the 28th November. Hopefully when the provisional exam timetable is out, I will find out that my papers end earlier..*Keeping my fingers crossed*..End earlier=back in sg earlier. Wooot! Not harbouring high hopes though, coz our exams start late. Zzzzz.....

Mid semester exams are finally over. This time round the experience isn't good at all as I do not have the confidence I had compared to semester 1. *Prays hard* that my scores won't be too bad. Argh gotta be more productive and study harder!

Mid semester break is coming soon. And most fellow sg friends are going back to Singapore this week. Really envy them man...can go back to what is called the real home. To be honest, I will want to go back if it's feasible. But it freaking cost S$1.4k to go back for a week! Darn...if only there's budget flight to and fro between Singapore and Sydney, I will definitely fly back then! On the brighter side, after the mid semester break is over, it will be officially the month of October. Which means I'm even closer to the date of departure away from Sydney! (Tentatively flying back on the 28th Nov) However, I think the month of October will be a blardy slow month. It is 4 full weeks of lectures and tutorials, not to mention that the studying rate has to be increased as well. It's gonna be one helll of a month. Can't even imagine the amount of stress I'm gonna face. SHIT!

Anyway, Yusheng and I had a "No Study" day last friday after my mid sems. Pretty rare to not touch the book at all for a whole day. We went to the fish market with fellow housemate Kai Chung and Levina, Donna, Sarah and Trish. As usual I have to order the Fisherman's basket which contains really nice calamari, fish fillets and fries.






Was stuck at the fish market for quite a while as it was pouring like mad. After that we walked to Darling Harbour to the famous Lindt (duno how to spell) cafe. Bought some macarons (duno how to spell again) before heading to Vanessa's place to meet her and adelene for ktv.



Macarons...damn good..ok I realise there are too many pictures to be posted. Will continue them in the next post. Tada~

Do houses in Oz land catch fire often? Not only does my house have a smoke detector (most units have it too anyway), there's also a speaker kinda thingy inbuilt onto the ceiling. Figure this, the oh so common PA system you see in the good old secondary school days. Every classrooms have them, and special announcements were made through them, and I had one in my room. Apparently the condo management was running an audio test on the speaker. Darn, it was sure noisy as hell.


This is the speaker aka PA system




This is the smoke detector

Nothing much this few days. Still the same old school, household chores, study, foxtel, internet and sleep. Mid-sem's around the corner, but I'm not stepping up my pace for revision. Weird isn't it? Just feel like I'm lacking the ammunition or something. Hopefully I find back my pace soon. Tada~

Crap. Capital markets quiz was erm...rather tricky. Don't know how will I fare, hopefully it will turn out fine. Anyway, some really serious stuff happened between a few of my uni friends. It was so serious that I doubt that there is gonna be any friendship left between them, not even a little bit. Shall not elaborate on that, but I hope both parties will be fine asap, as the mid-sem is just around the corner.

Friend's parents came over to Sydney and decided to give my housemates and I a treat, supposedly because we took good care of this particular friend. Haha, it was really nice and generous of them because they treated us to this really nice seafood restaurant called "Jordons Seafood Restaurant" at Darling Harbour. The food was really woah, spectacular. The seafood platter for 2 costs A$120+...go figure. Hahahahaha. I will post some pics up later. After that, we went for ice cream at gelatissimo. OMG what a sinful day it was, but it was kinda a great retreat for me.

September is here, and will be over soon in a blink of an eye, due to all the time spend on preparation for mid-sems. The date of departure to Singapore is closer and closer. Soon, I will be stepping on home soil again. Yea!
