Exams is just a week away. It is by far the worse exam I'm gonna face, no doubt about that. 4 killer papers. 4 papers in 4 days - 2 Acct paper on Wed, 1 Fin on Thu and 1 Fin on Sat. I thought my exam timetable the previous semester - 4 papers each on a consecutive day, was the worse I could expect in my university life. How wrong was I to assume that!

Meanwhile, preparation has been rather slow, as I can't seem to absorb as much as I should. Time is running out and I have to really resign to the fate of getting mediocre results this semester. I doubt I can finish studying everything anyway. Hopefully I will pass everything, and push up the grades next year.

I have pictures to upload, but guess I shouldn't waste too much time doing that now. Will prolly post them up after my last paper on the 6th of Nov. Talking about pictures, I have yet to post my euro trip photos. Urgh...-_-

A picture speaks a thousand words...

Beautiful stairs
3 levels high
Genius bar
Happy owner
Nice and classy packaging
IPHONE 3g!!! =)
Clockwise: iphone 3g, adapters and wires, cleaning cloth, manuals, casing and anti-glare film
Final product with casing and screen protector
No idea how to rotate pics in blogger
Tada! One item struck off from my wishlist!

Still learning how to use this wonderful device. Lots of room for creativity, especially the endless applications that can be installed into it. Finally I got myself a phone which can perform as an ipod as well, after pondering for years since sec sch days.

Earlier in the morning, went school to play soccer with the rest. It was a tired but fun work out. I think we played close to 2.5 hrs, and everyone was obviously shagged out. We had sushi tei for dinner, my favourite sushi restaurant. Thumbs up for the sydney branch, although the soft shell crab could have been much better.

Exams are just around the corner, its like so damn near. Again, my exam timetable is screwed up. I thought I had the worst timetable last semester, with 4 papers in 4 consecutive days. Now I have 4 papers in 4 days again, with 2 of them on the same day. WOW...I don't know how am I gonna survive this. Pray for me. I will finish everything on the 1st of Nov. Will be planning to go on a road trip, maybe to hunter valley, port stephens, blue mountains or some far away islands. Definitely looking forward to that, and also my return to home sweet home, which is on the 6th of Nov. Yusheng and I will be taking the 6+pm plane, and should arrive in sg at around 11+pm.

Cheers to returning home soon, and I hope exams gonna be a breeze. ;)

Been a while since I last updated. Really couldn't find any extra time to allocate to blogging. So much work, so many tests and projects. All of them are driving me up the wall. 5 consecutive weeks of mid-semester tests ended last friday. I'm having my mid-sem break now, but it sure doesn't look like a break to me at all. Shall not go into the details of how boring my break is. Pure sadness...

Back to updating what's missing in this blog. Last friday was the last mid-sem paper before the break (I have another paper on week 11 if you are wondering). It was also my room mate, Yusheng's birthday. We had a surprise for him on the midnight of thurs.








On the actual bday, which was friday 26th, Yusheng treated us to Sushi Tei in town. Yes my favourite Sushi Tei. The menu is totally identical to the one in sg, and the prices are almost similar too. Finally there's chawanmushi, cha soba and chuka hotate etc etc etc to savour upon. Had a truly satisfying meal, it was a great start to the mid-semester break.

After dinner, housemates, Ivan and I decided to walk to Lindt cafe to chill and relax. The rest headed to Star City to huat first. The walk to Darling Harbour was much needed to help digest the sumptous meal still in our stomachs.
Even though I am pretty full, I still ordered a few macarons to share. Its simply too irresistable!

Saw the engineering friends at Lindt cafe too. Guess they were having their clique night out. We went to Star City shortly, and I thought it was gonna be my day as my winnings stretched to an amount in excess of $100. It soon become $0 before I even knew it. How depressing. Now the damned place owes me A$200+. Monte Carlo owes me 100 euros. Such gambling luck I have. Urgh! Plenty more photos to post, hopefully I have time.

Meanwhile, still trying to rush and finalise the stupid time consuming Management Accounting 2 project. Exam time-table gonna be out soon, and I hope it's a favourable one. Mid-sems results will be out soon too, and I pray that I can pass my finance. Those who are reading, please pray for me. Many thanks in advance. =)
