so its November.

finals are lurking around. somewhere in the corner. okay. so to be exact. it is in ten days. ten days. can you believe it? where did the time go? and I will finish all my subjects in six days. four subjects in six days. thats nuts I'd say. but the good thing is, once all this is over I can focus on my job and save up for Malaysia. In five weeks. I'll be boarding on a plane, heading to another five weeks of fun, food and laughter.



gotta love end of the year. so much to look forward too.

Beef is probably one of my favourite ingredient that I'd like to have in a meal. I believe when there is beef, there will always be a happy me. To be honest, I'm not particularly picky when it comes to the cut of meat, cept for the minor chewy parts of course. I still remember when dad took us all out for dinners and the first choice will definitely be a piece of nicely prepared steak with the usual accompanies. But ever since I moved to Sydney, I don't usually get the luxury of ordering a good medium rare steak due of the price of eating out. Hence I resort to home-cooked versions for satisfy my once-in-a-while steak craving.

Having said that, I used to think I am good with steaks and they should be the easiest thing to deal with. WRONG. I failed to produce delicious yummy juicy steaks on multiple occasions ever since I moved to my new place couple months ago. kinda embarrassing when you think about it. and not to mention Masterchef just makes it looks so easy.

and so today. after a long long time of not having any steaks, I was at the local butcher picking out four fresh looking minute steaks.

and made steak sandwiches! So I the obvious lettuce and tomatoes and steak, with beetroot slices and a fried egg. Beets and eggs are the best thing is sandwiches. ever. 

was kinda disappointed with the steak again. they did not turn out well. the surface did not brown or caramelize as I liked them too. and they were a bit chewy (I suspect they did not use the right cut). Tell me how to make yum yum succulent steaks please! All in all, its still beef and its still good. for now.

on another note. these are the most amazing desert/pastry I got off jenius.com.au. Instant Maple Apple Tarte Tatin. Easiest thing to make and all It needs was maple syrup, apples, puff pastries and butter. smells and taste heavenly I swear. 

and I found new love for bubble milk tea with pearls. maybe instead of being an coffee addict. I'll be a bubble milk tea addict instead.

Wrapping up the month of August.


Uni started at the beginning of August. and during then. I looked forward to it. as I was just too bored with my life. and holy moly. four weeks into the semester and am I feeling the pressure. this two weeks are mainly assignments and class test period. so I guess people will be busy much. as I am one of them. typing frantically of any assignments that was thrown in my way. I don't know bout you. but ever since I started uni, I haven't really been hand-writing anything a lot. most of them are typed. now I find that it is quite difficult to read my writing because it gets so ugly. and not to mention how much my hand hurts writing under pressure. four pages worth of stuff in forty minutes.

in this month. I am also learning to open myself up to people. like being less guarded after a sip or two. but I can be under the influence all the time. or I'll have to see you in rehab. yeh. Idk. Trying to make myself to be initiative instead of sitting there and waiting around.

ALSO. I've join the Apple gang and got myself an iPhone4. It's some awesome shizzz. I'm no good with writing reviews on stuff. but yeh. judging from the hype of iPhones. you'll know how good this thing is.

been paying a bit more attention to politics and current affairs in Aussie and Malaysia too. the occurrence baffles me sometimes. racist issues, political differences, frauds and all that. the world is not such a pretty place after all.





yeh. that pretty much sums up my month. nothing fantastic. but I'm living.

Bills.

they make me cringe alot. once. I was a innocent little girl who will not have to worry a single shit on bills and payments. now. I've grown up and trying to learn and accept the daily, menial duties of running a household. and one thing that annoys me the most are bills. monthly, quarterly, water bills, phone and broadband bills, electric bills, credit card bills. bills. bills. bills. its feels like someone is at your door every three days asking for payments, for money. it gets overwhelming at times.

since when basic necessities in life like water, gas, and electricity have to cost so much. all I care about is when I turn on a switch, the lights go on. when I turn on the tap, water runs. When I turn on the computer, the internet is up and ready to go.

who cares about rates, bandwidth limits and off peak and peak hours.

we use them because we need them. but everything in life is now so commercialize because people wants to squeeze the most profit out of everything. my eyes ogled when the bills came. I almost didn't understand most of it.

I wish life was simpler. no hidden service charges or asterisks.

I will die. soon enough if I continue on living like this.

Its been 2 days since best frendie left Sydney to her next stop, Melbourne.
For the first day I reckoned since I've been out to the city for one week straight, staying indoors to do some reading, and no be bothered of figuring what to wear sounds like an awfully inviting idea. and i stuck to it. cept that there was little reading involved. more on blog hopping, facebooking, and photo editing(only half way there).

and I feel so. unhealthy. zombie-like.

basically I have not done anything fruitful. looked around at my house. its a mess. a surprise visit from anyone will basically screw me. but I just couldn't pick myself up and do cleaning of any sort.

and that's day 1.

today is also a rendition of yesterday. lying around. watching movies. reading magazines. couldn'd be screwed to go shopping even though my fridge is like almost empty. plus the rain just didnt make anything better.


I need a life. I need to live.

Instead of wasting my life away. one day. i think this wasting time business will come back and haunt me. no joke. maybe like when I'm on the verge of dying.

I want a job. I need a job. I know I have been complaining alot that people will not hire me despite me putting me numerous resume. so I hope all the bosses out there will have a huge ass heart. and give me a job. I rather be out there, working my ass off, earning money. than lying round here, doing nothing.

When old dreams don't come to realization, you know its time for new ones.


I finally got my timetable for 2nd semester sorted out. Free on Tuesdays and Fridays. Good thing bout being free on Fridays are that you'll always have a long weekend. Setting up this timetable actually makes me look forward to the coming semester. A fresh start perhaps. A promising start? Better not over think this again.

Monday. I shall go job hunting. Like seriously. I'm not gonna bum around for the next two months. tho I'd loved to. Need money. Too many wants.

I guess when you find it impossible to realize mental intangible dreams, its makes more sense for you to realize the physical, materialistic ones. cuz then you'll feel that you are actually something. in my opinion at least.
So, make money, buy things I really, seriously want, and be happy me.

I missed going to the park. Sitting on the greens, wind on face. Doing nothing. and good sun.

I made friends with the tissue box for the past two days. we were almost inseparable.

being sick is the most horrible feeling. your whole body just doesnt feel right.
nose is block and running. head is pounding. throat is burning and sore. gulping down bottles after bottles of water until you can't take it anymore. wondering if you'll get better when you wake up from bed the next morning. in my case prolly the afternoons.



marketing and statistics left to go. oh god. simply just cant wait for the week to be over. then its party time!

I can really use some pick-me-up right now.
Did not sleep for on Thursday.
And have been feeling like a zombie ever since. FML.

Need to jazz up myself. need to FINISH my marketing eaasy.

You reckon going to bed at 10pm and not setting the alarm for tomorrow will help?


p/s: I made sushi today :)  and I am declaring this week to be Japanese food week.

I wonder if anyone is still reading this.. thing. 

anyhow. my life now is almost like a 5000 pcs puzzle. I am trying to fix it up piece by piece. Figuring which piece goes where. So its a mess in short. 

When to Lindt Cafe in the city couple weeks back, while my dad was here. drinks were awesome. I had iced mocha, in a really cold cold night. The cakes was bomb-ming goood. And also finally had a crack at the Macaroon hype, if it was as good as everyone said it was to be. 

I had the pale yellow one. It was champagne flavoured apparently :) 

It tasted really sweet, with a hint of champagne taste. No, the wasnt sooo good that it exploded/ melted in my mouth. I would love to have another one. If they werent so god damned expensive.

Ohhh. I blinged my laptoop. Ages ago. people tell me it looks like it belongs to a 13 year old girl. Who loves everything shiny. 

Currently obsessed with this. It's basically is a snippet of a Taiwanese talk show, Diamond Club showing how different a girl can look with or without make-up. I find it really amazing. Thus i did an experiment of my own.

I can assure you I do not actually look that bad in real life. It's just horrible lighting and shot from a unflattering angle. I swear. But as you can see, I do not go the extreme lengths those girls does in the video, with 4 sets of eyelashes and all, there still is a difference.

Editing does the job too.

That's for now. 

Until I'm actually happy with the way my neew place looks. The tour will have to hold :)

aha. i have a couple of minutes to spare before my next lecture.


so, how's life been going?


Busy busy busy bee.

For starters.
I am now one of the two Social Directors of MSA (Macquarie Malaysian Students Association).
No one would be as surprised as I would be to be honest.
its more like a random stab for me one day when I got this email offering the available positions.
I had this rush to run for this position.
and so I did.

And I got the post.
and I went to the ICC in UNSW the very next day.
and I was not told that they were going to play some amazing race game! ran around campus for a freaking hour and a half. and i was wearing flats. so whenever i run, it'll be like "plak plak plak"

this is the very last stop. where we have to transfer a 50cent coin among 6 ppl only with our head (no hands).
not to mention that we were all hot and sweaty and greasy at that time. very dirtty.

I got so sore the very next day cause..
I dont even remember when was the last time i ran like that.
But all around, it was a fine day.



Next. is that im up to my neck with my studies and assignment.
I am officially clueless on everything.
God help me.


It's been some time since I last swam. feel like hitting the pool. with flippers.
hmmm. anyone?

yes people. Im well and alive. internet was down at  my place two weeks before and cbf to post anything from uni. cuz the queue is just so so long.

How am I doing lately you may ask. well. its one hell of a roller coaster. mostly going down hill in shotgun motion. Lots and lots of emotions going on.

Haven been taking photos in a while. Really missed that part of my life. Documenting the good times.

If you must know. Life currently goes this way. wake up. putting on a face. train ride. classes. train ride. bus ride. dinner. bed. with lots of John Mayer and Daughtry involved. Well isnt it interesting. Why John Mayer. Other from being a major douchebag he makes excellent music. Loved the lyrics. It sounded so much like a poem.


Uni is.
I dont know what to make of it. Besides having assignments lined to my door. lots and lots. 2000 word essay. kill me. I havemt even got my copy of The Inconvenient Truth. Let alone CRITICALLY ANALYSE it. gosh. oh. and also presentations. what am I sposed to say for 30mins worth????
okay. a person can only rant so much.

daaadadummm.

city last Thursday. met up with Lisa. Jess. Leo.
it was okay considering we were walking around pretty aimlessly in the scorching heat. mom's vintages sunnies did come in handy after all. dimsum for lunch at some place near Capitol Square. Reminded me how much i love steamed munchie prawns♥  Iced Mocha at QVB. with cream and vanilla ice cream♥♥
didnt really do much. walk. talk. and SING in Big Echo. Then its time to go. for me anyway.


still finding it hard to get accustomed to being at Uni. who knows when i can get used to all this. money is running low. travelling and food. and excessive shopping. need to break the habit. need a JOB.


will be busy Job hunting and apartment hunting this two weeks. new apartment. my apartment. exciting♥



loveeeees.

I should probably mention something uni.

Im starting B Commerce this semester at Macquarie University.

And true to say. First week at uni is quite daunting and. yes. lonely.

We havent got tutorials this week. only lectures. so. I dont know. Havent really spoke to anyone. yet.

But. Im want to be optimistic. I will have a good time here. 

Oh. and being in uni, it gives you a new sense of freedom and responsibility. you would have probably heard this a million times but it really is true. Like you have to stand up for urself, or else no one would do anything for you. and the freedom part. they really dont care if you dont turn up, or even walk out midst of class. so freedom and responsibility comes hand in hand to ensure a fruitful and enjoyable uni life.

gosh. this sounds like it came out of a textbook.

I should stop. toodles.
