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

Piano expert

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!

Ha..and I thought I would be very free while in Sydney. I was so wrong. Most of my time had to be dedicated to household chores, cooking and doing the endless tutorials. Didn't have the urge to blog until just now, while watching the man utd match on foxtel (hell yea we won 1-0). It was due to some stuff I saw in facebook. Sigh, it happens again and again. I tell myself.."I'm used to it...used to it already..."

Hopefully I will blog more often. Uni is really hectic and I've been more and more unproductive in my work. True enough that I rarely go out, but thats not because I want to revise that much, but more of me wanting to save that bit of money. Every single cent is hard to earn, and I'm pretty sure that I'm doing a good job in not spending my parents' hard earned money away unnecessarily.

Another marist got attached recently. I really feel happy for him as he's my brother for almost 16 years I believe. His first girlfriend I reckon. Another one got attached too a couple of months back. Also, the first girlfriend for him. Great job guys. Haha. It leaves me pondering. Why the hell am I single for such a long time? Am I too picky or what? Or simple girls hate me. -Shrugs-

I keep thinking about her. I don't know what this means but I wished I had her company. Close to her at one point of time but due to some incident we drifted. We almost went on a holiday together just before my semester 1 started, but it had to be postponed due to some unforeseen circumstances. Is it fated? I don't really know. Her birthday's coming up real soon, I should buy something nice for her. For her, I don't mind splurging abit. LOL! =)

Gonna be 3 more months left to Singapore. Come on....time..please pass faster will ya?

Gonna revive this blog, since I'm gonna head to Sydney. Mind filled with pretty much thoughts lately...

this blog will be down till further notice. no time and energy to keep a blog running. not at this age and time. lol. cya folks. till then..

Day 3 - part 2

It was raining very heavily while we were heading to Macau, had the vomitting sensation thru'out the trip.
Backdrop was a church, apparently only a wall is left.

Breakfast @ ferry terminal

Y is Mark so bored?

Power breakfast. HK food rocks.

Going to take the ferry...

P.S. (I'm currently trying to use blogger's hosting services, still not quite used to it. Bear with me at the moment)

Woohoo..not been blogging for quite some time. Life's monotonous, as I've been working since early Oct.

Nothing much happened so there isn't really anything for me to blog. (Other than the unfinished post of the hong kong trip) The main highlight was my aussie cousin Hau, who came over for a 3 week long holiday. Great to have him around though, all the shopping and late suppers really served as a deserved break to me. Not to mention the countless number of trips to Costa Del Sol, such a nice condo really...Ironically, I may be joining him for 3 yrs soon. LOL!

I dunno why my tag board is down. Can't seem to get it working. Anyway, will post more when I'm free.

Part 2:

After dining at cafe de coral, we made our way up to the peak. We took the hard way by travelling upwards via the mid-levels escalators. There are alot, and I seriously mean alot of escalators, forgot the actual number though.




After finishing the mid-levels escalators, we provided to take a cab up the peak. Hahahaha. 5 people share cab cheap ma, so we decided to give our legs some much deserved rest. Too bad the trip to the peak was like less than 5 minutes. -_-






We left the peak via the tram, will was travelling on an extremely steep slope, kinda scary though. On the way down, you get to see alot of nice condos, which are practically built on the mountains. So we went back to hotel to meet the other 2 marist brothers, Alex and Mark.


Soon we went to Lan Kwai Fong to have our dinner at the famous restaurant called Yung Kee (if I dont recall wrongly) , the price was a little more expensive, but the food served were all really decent and nice. Soon, we went to club at Lan Kwai Fong. The clubbing scene kinda sucks. Maybe we went to the wrong club?



Alright folks, that's all for day 2.

Endo: Day 2 - Fri - 15 July 06 - 0300 hrs - HK - Macau's next!
