It's been confirmed, I'm going on a trip to visit my sister in Singapore! I get to see my nephew and be the aunt that spoils him :D

I'll be arriving past midnight on a workday though so I promised to treat my sister to a meal for having to wake her up in the early morning to open the front door for me >_<.

I'm so excited!!! Though, my sister probably just wants me to come over to play as the free babysitter XD.

I'm in another food coma....from Ramen and Mexican. A new Ramen place opened up in Vic Park today and I got the black tonkotsu. It was delicious but so fulling. And then my friend wanted to try the Hokkaido Cheese Tart which was also yummy. I was so tempted to bring some home too.

And normally having ramen for lunch would be fine...but then my friend told me she had a voucher for a Mexican bar place worth 100 bucks and she wanted to go try it for dinner.

I had 2 chilli chicken hard tacos (because I've never had tacos before haha) and then we ordered a $30 dessert platter. Let's just say, I'm very full. I think I gained at least 1 kg today :(

It's 2018 yay!

I did the smart thing yesterday and only drank lemon lime bitters while others drank more alcoholic stuff so I don't feel terrible today :D

Truthfully, I was kinda sick and decided to head home early hah. I ended up streaming the fireworks instead. My group of friends told me they partied until 5 am. I'm glad I didn't stick with them because I don't think I would have survived if I did that...

Today I went shopping in the city. I have never experienced shopping on Boxing day because usually I don't have anything to buy even though there are boxing day sales.

My experience today: IT WAS PACKED. Woah, I severely underestimated the amount of people who shop on boxing day. There were retail workers that made you form lines to even ENTER the store due to the amount of people. Also trying on clothes is a pain when you have to wait like 15 mins to even get an empty cubicle.

Mental note to self: If I go boxing day sale next year, don't take the bus. The bus was soooo packed like a tin can of sardines.

I find it so hard to Christmas shop for others. Especially when you don't know their taste. Maybe I'll just get a gift card to this store that she likes...but it seems not very personal if i do that :(

I also feel very bad for all the retail workers working at this time of the year. The toy aisle has so many toys out of place and thrown about.

Only a couple more days to go before Christmas. I gotta shop shop shop!

I just went to see Cirque du Soleil: Toruk! It was amazing <3. It was the first time I've ever seen Cirque du Soleil and the Toruk theme was based on the the world of Avatar so it was cool. They even had the huge tree and of course the Toruk people connected it via the lighted up USBs lololol.

The stunts and tricks were really cool and I really enjoyed that large dinosaur bone see saw thingy that they swayed on.

I think I'm going to go see them again next year if they come back with a different theme. The tickets were totally worth the price.

I FINISHED ALL MY EXAMS!!!! And in celebration, me and friends went to a buffet at the casino. TOO MUCH FOOD, I'm in a food coma. I've been lying down on this couch and I haven't moved in the pass 20 minutes cause I'm just too full. It was expensive but it was to celebrate our last uni exams ever so it was worth it.

I probably shouldn't have eaten so many prawns and desserts but geez was the desserts so delicious. Especially that saffron cake!

Hmmm, maybe I should bring my parents there during mom's birthday next year.

Well I passed my trading mid semester exam. Well the average was 58% so I guess I didn't do too badly comparatively to the entire cohort but still...

I think I'm going to have to hit the books hard for this Trading unit...T_T
And here I thought I would have a relaxing last semester.

Why did I decide to do more sessions again? OMG I'm so tired and I still got to finish this assignment.

I should not be eating ice cream for dinner but damn do I need comfort food to get me through this night. I'm starting to regret taking extra work sessions but at least I'll have extra money to survive on at the end of the year.

Here's hoping I don't have to pull an all nighter!
shimering2: (Default)
I got offered to work more sessions O_O.

I haven't decided whether I want to accept or not.
Pros: I get more money
Cons: I lose more free time to study and do the stuff I want to do.
BIG PRO: I get more MONEY!!!

I guess the question is do I need the extra money? Well, it would be nice if I had more money to spend on stuff. Like saving up for the next Arashi Album lol.

Last semester before I graduate (yayyyy!). But before that, I need to pass my last semester of units. Which comes to one problem, TRADING unit. My god, I suck at trading. 4 weeks in and I feel so lost! The textbook doesn't really help me and the in lab games are killing me so badly T_T. It's too late to back out now though and I really do need this unit as part of my major so I'm hoping I'll be fine.

I guess I'll see how the mid-semester is...

I think I'm getting sick from the dust in the house yuck.

Since it's my uni holidays, dad and I decided to rip out the carpet in our rooms and replace them with wooden floorboards. This also means DUST EVERYWHERE. It is so irritating and this must not be good for health sheesh.

And we need to do 3 rooms too. This is going to take a few weeks...

I survived my exams whoooooo.

And I went to the dentist which was as fun as my exams blergh. My last wisdom tooth is still not coming out. He doesn't want to touch it unless it becomes a problem. Thing is, I want to get it out :(
There's just something weird knowing that your last wisdom could erupt any day.

Exams are here...and all four of my exams are in the first week! Just why?!?! I thought the new system of having allocating three exams in one day was suppose to make our exam timetable much better compared to before and instead it's made mine worst.

Ok, no more watching variety shows until the exams are over!

So stuff have come up in work recently that has kinda impacted a lot of people. Apparently someone among my co-workers have been causing strife unnecessarily to others because she's a bit...demanding. But I don't know if she's really demanding or not because when I worked with her everything was ok so I'm not sure why this other group of people working with her is finding things tough.

I wonder if I should talk to her or not. Maybe she doesn't realise that some of her actions can be mis-interpreted. On the other hand, I'm not sure if I should butt in since it doesn't involve me.

Im bruised

I haven't been ice skating in years. Guess who readily agreed to go ice skating with 2 friends yesterday? Guess who fell flat on their butt 4 times? Guess who has a large bruise?

The answer to all those questions is ME. I have such a large bruise that I can't wear shorts. And I ache so much. How am I going to survive walking the next few days? I just want to sleep in bed forever.

So why did I decide to overload again in studying at uni while working too?!?
I think I really need to sit down and take a break though when I can during Easter because  I seriously do not want to get sick due to the lack of sleep.

Heading into Week 2 of uni! Things that I am reminded of: textbooks are ridiculously expensive, travel time to uni is long and trying to study while working is hard /sob.

I got to get into the motivation of studying regularly again since I just came back from holiday...problem is having the motivation to start first. Alright, enough complaining from me. First thing to do, make a timetable of everything that is due. I can do this!

Humid...

While I'm really happy that I get to spend my holiday overseas visiting family in a different country, why the heck did I have to go to a country that is super hot and humid at the moment?

I just need to survive ONE more exam (and then freeeeeedom)
