I dont care if I lose my mind..

I had a HORRIBLE day at work yesterday and I'm just not going to talk about it.
I did however manage to work on my final assignment and I'm almost done!
I am SO excited at how close I am to being assignment free!!!!
I've got the main structure and all done up and all I have to do now is simply to add in the frills and refine it all :)
So then I am going to work on it for the rest of tonight and tomorrow and FINGERS CROSSED, I'll be done by the end of tmw.
EXCITED AS!
yippee!

Because words are never enough

The massive seafood platter

My Pizza Buddy

Just because people say I don't have enough pictures of myself... My chin appears to be disappearing.......

oh.. and notice my fabulous black coat. It is as cozy as can be and I LOVE IT.

7. My parents managed to get a loan and so we'll be moving out soon!
8. I finished the 3rd assignment and am only left with 1!!
9. I managed to get an appointment with my very VERY busy supervisor :)

It's going to get increasingly awesome :)

Lydia's 21st Bday bash

I know this post would be SO much better with pictures but no camera so too bad...
we had a really great dinner and a whole lot of cake.
I had a whole lot of cake..
like twice the normal serving..
I was feeling pretty cake deprived!
So you cannot blame me!
Anyway, everything went pretty well and we all had fun.
We even managed to squeeze a quick stop at coles, kmart and target in between morning baptism and the party :)
I got this jacket I'm starting to love more and more..
It satisfies my black, blazer, hoodie and bomber desires.
LOVE.
Tmw's going to be another great day.
I just know it. :)

chocolate coated face

I've been eating so much chocolate lately.
I finished a packet of boost today (which is 2.8 servings according to the packet), one fredo the frog chocolate (which is always awesome though boost still wins) and a chocolate coated biscuit.
I've been snacking the whole day and my only real meal was lunch..
which was also snack filled considering I dived straight into the chocolates right after lunch.
this is what happens when you sit on the chair and do assignments the whole day.
that is why I am so not desk-job material.
I need healthier snacks...
like POPCORN! :)
To Coles I will head tomorrow.

Happy Nappy

I'm so happy that I managed to complete 2 assignments this week and am up to date with my other assignment..
I basically only have my thesis synopsis to really worry about at the moment..
and BOY is that a worry.
I really hope my supervisor gets back to me so I can meet up with him to talk about it..
I just booked my flight to Sydney and CANNOT wait till july :)
actually, I can't wait till 5th of June when I've handed in everything and only have the final exam to worry about.
and I can't wait to go house hunting with Lydia after that and paint the house and meet up with shir and drea..
my printer ink is still not here :(
I do hope the mail is not lost..
I still have photos i want to print..
NAMELY, DEBORAH YAP'S BEAUTIFUL FACE. hahahaha..
Hopefully I'll get some time to go down to Harvey to see if I can get a good deal on my camera charger..
then I can start snapping pictures and upload them for the picture deprived blog and facebook.
I also hope I get more hours of work during the school hols.
Especially since Lydia isn't getting work hours at mitre :(
I should also stop eating so much.
I'm putting back all the weight I lost and more.

The wise man built his house upon the ROCK

MY ROOM TOTALLY FLOODED IN TODAY!
I was sitting on my bed doing my assignment and didn't even notice my room was flooding till lydia came in and alerted me to the fact that my floor is wet.
It has been raining the WHOLE day..
like heavy pouring rain
which makes it freezing cold AND great to sleep in..
SO EXCITING.
stuff like that never happens to me in Singapore.
The neighbour's basement is totally flooded in.
and to think we are suppose to be 'on a hill'
imagine what's happening to those 'valley' ppl.

And the rain came a-tumbling down..

sneek preview

after SOME complains about me not have pictures, I shall show you three today.
I managed to turn on my cam and quickly snap three pics and upload them before the damning red low battery sign started flashing again.
So today was extra special because it rained the whole day making it FREEZING cold..
and plus class today was really good cause it eased the stress I was feeling from all the school work to some extent..
and PLUS, I received a really nice package :)
and you'll see what came in it in one of the pictures......
which is to be revealed NOW.

This is the bed I sleep in...

On the bed, you'll see the new addition to my life in brisbane :)
It takes up 50% of the bed...
We'll have to work something out.

And then there is my wardrobe...

which doubled in size when my room mate moved out after only a month..
I love the sunshine yellow doors.
It makes me happy.
I need more clothes to fill it up.

the last picture is of the cork board I tried filling with pictures and nice things to make the room more like home...

but my photo printer ran out of ink and australia doesnt sell ink for this PARTICULAR printer (so frustrating that I always seem to choose stuff they don't have in australia)..
and so, till the package my mom sent with my ink comes, it is left bare.
The map of my school is right in the middle cause UQ is HUGE. like.. twice NUS.
and the buildings go by numbers.
and there are more than a hundred of them.
so yes. The map is a necessity.

and there you go.
A little snippet of life in brisbane.
I really should get my battery charger replaced.

This week has been hectic.
And it isn't over.
But I'm all ready to charge forward and keep marching onward to the end of the semester.
TO HOLIDAYS AND BEYOND!
I've been losing weight rapidly recently..
I've dropped about 2 kilos since mid last month...
which is good in a way but very strange considering that I'm snacking alot more..
and on BOOST summore.
maybe BOOST is good for me.
hahahah.. yeah right.
Can't wait till the sem is over!
it'll be fun fun FUN!
Gold coast and Sydney, WAIT FOR ME! I'M COMING! :)

I thank God for you.

Simpson's paradox

I worked pretty hard today.. 

Spent the day doing my assignment and I got half of it done.

I have some more reading to do but I should be able to finish it before the end of this week if I keep at it. 

I got my stats results back too.. 

A depressing mark I tell you. 

Its so apt that my assignment is on the Simpson's paradox cause I really could use one now. 

I think I need some chocolate. 

crave cave

pizza tuesday was not pizza tuesday this fateful week. 

Lazy choobs didn't want to meet and my tutorial lasted for 10 minutes (all that travelling for 10 mins) and so I came straight home. 

I managed to progress a tiny bit on my thesis synopsis but I'm easily distracted with food and movies and the like. 

I shall continue my progress tmw. 

Some days I feel like I want to blog about something great but I realised all I did was to bum at home, do some assignments and eat. 

the hols will be here soon...

hopefully I'll have something more interesting to blog about. 

on another note, 

Oh how I long for Alameen's cheese egg prata, matt's bak kut teh, old chang kee's vegetarian spring rolls, island creamery's teh tarek and horlicks ice cream, SWEET AND SOUR PORK that involves pork chunks that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, NOT slices of pork... 

mum's day

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL WHO ARE MOTHERS :)

I encountered this verse TWICE today: 

Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,
   but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

Proverbs 31:30

The first time I heard it was in church this morning and I wrote it down in my diary. 

came home from work and saw that daily verse for today is this same verse. 

A new week of school ahead. 

Its pretty exciting to be nearing the end of the semester even though that means my deadlines are also drawing near.. 

Went to Chermside today and found KERNELS. (farout!)

it is the BESTEST popcorn ever. 

It has all sorts of flavours from chocomallow to Buffalo wings. 

I bought double chocolate (i actually asked for chocomallow but they gave me double choc so I just ate it). 

finished half the packet even before I left the shopping mall. 

SO going back for more. 

I thought they closed down but apparently they didn't. 

how I wish I had my camera to snap a photo of this momentous occasion. 

Hanaichi has got to be the best food around. 

For less than 7 bucks, you get rice and chicken and a full stomach. 

though you can get that at a hawker centre in spore for about 3 bucks. 

ARGH. 

4 weeks till study break!

fireworks last but a moment...

Ethics approval on friday meant that I have no more excuse to procrastinate. 

My supervisor was quick to email me to ask me to do up my surveys. 

So I spent today doing that and I managed to tidy up a bit of one of my assignments. 

Feel quite accomplished today :) 

ate like a full sized boost bar to CELEBRATE. 

heh. 

I feel like having sticky date cake though... hmmmm. 

We saw fireworks next to Story Bridge today!! 

Good thing we were at Choob's place or we would have missed this :) 

I love fireworks. 

It brings back great memories :)

"The blessing of the Lord makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow with it. -Proverbs 10:22

Snack Attack

I LOVE BOOST.

It has been around for the longest time but I never tried it till I got a party sized bar from June.

so anyway, I got myself a bag of party sized bars.

16 in total :)

I decided against the large bar cause it would never satisfy me unless I buy like 10 of those to last 10 days.

so party bag it was.

even though I eat like 3 a day... pfft.

LOVE it.

OH. I also love Coles Organic Sweet and Salty Popcorn.

snacks make me happy.

Something's wrong with Lydia.

it's like PMS bomb landed and I didn't even realise.

She's been very easily annoyed and snappy and annoyING.

I can take a little bit of verbal abuse and attitude

but NO ONE can take this much. 

I'm not a robot.

I can only pretend to be ok for so long.

Iced pitch tea

This has got to be the slackest week I've had since school started.
Sure, I have lots of assignments to catch up on..
but we had Labour Day on monday so there was no class..
I had an exam on tuesday and practical was cancelled so that was only like 2 hours of school which wasn't exactly school either..
and because my lecturer is sick, we have no lecture tmw..
so I essentially only have 2 hours of 'school' this week...
THIS is what it should have been like for the past 7 weeks.
whatever happened to UQ the slack uni.
tsk.
I'm debating between starting on my 4th assignment or taking the day off...
since I have 2 days of no school now..
hmmmm...
I think I'll start on my 4th assignment after lunch which is in an hour's time...

I feel like shopping.
must resist till july!!!

pizza day parade

STATS EXAM IS OVER!
YAY!
now I really do need to do my assignments.
GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT!
ITS TUESDAY!
what does that mean???
PIZZA DAY!
hahahaha...
ok. so anyway, stats was a killer..
but I don't care now cause nothing's going to change that.
I just have to concentrate on my assignments and do well for them.
and so now I'm going to DO MY ASSIGNMENTS!
and look forward to 7pm
which is TIME FOR PIZZA :)

Rolly Polly

AHHHHHHH!
Exam on tuesday is drawing near!!
study study!
Today I ate a WHOLE LOT.
Lyd and Choobs decided to go to sizzlers and so we had a whole lot for lunch.
Dinner was another whole lot cause we had Korean BBQ which is awesome and you hardly feel like you are eating anything cause its all lettuce and meat till you are bursting full.
My tummy is so round now.
I need to study.
I'm scared I'll fall asleep cause I'm so full.

pigs tails, chicken nails

It's studying day today..
the exam is drawing near and I'm getting more and more anxious.
work is piling up as I'm not touching my thesis nor my assignments till after the exams..
but this paper is really important so it's ok..

YESTERDAY, Lydia's car overheated AGAIN.
it seems to do that every friday
and when I need to get to work summore.
so I had to catch a cab from Sunnybank in order to get to work on time.
guess how much was cab-fare.
$20? $40? NO.
FIFTY FREAKING AUSTRALIAN DOLLARS.
I tell you, I CAN JUST DIE NOW.
I work for like 3 hours I only get like 30+ bucks.
NOT even worth the ride down to work la!!
but just so I can keep the faith my boss has in me, I had to spend that load of cash.
at least I got to drink delicious bubble tea from the great bubble tea store in Sunnybank.

ok. as I said, today is study day.
DISCRIMINANT ANALYSIS, I SHALL CONQUER YOU!
