Thank God it's Thursday!

Pheww.. Thank God it's Thursday! This has been the longest and most hectic week I've ever experienced in a veryy long time. It's only the first week of uni and I've been running around everywhere like a headless chicken. 

I feel so all over the place having to get all my textbooks, attend all my lectures, attend meetings, organize events, make sure I start on my tutorial work and try to 'study' in between all that craziness. Woww! I'm actually still a lil bit overwhelmed. 

1 day away from Friday! Which means no uni for me tomorrow. Long weekend! yayy!! I would definitely try to use and plan my time properly. Need to clear up my work! 

................

Anyway... I wanted to do a post about the Five Things which made me happy the last week. So here goes..

This was my entry for a colouring contest Sereni & Shentel had for their fans. No, I didn't win. The other entries were too good. haha But it was all good fun! I really enjoyed colouring mine. It was therapeutic. 

Banana Toffee cupcake from Sparkles Cupcakery! This is superrrr yummy I kid you not! If you're ever in Sydney, pop by Sparkles at Surry Hills or get your fix at David Jones food hall. In my opinion, Sparkles beats Cupcake Bakery or Cupcake on Pitt anytime. Try it!!!

Minz Rapunzel Stone Bangle. Lovin' the packaging and of course my bangle!! It's so versatile I can wear it alone or with other bangles/ cuffs. 

English Breakfast Tea or any tea! I have no idea why, but not having tea in the morning makes me feel somewhat uneasy. Like something's missing. haha Also, having a glass of camomile tea in the evenings help me relax :))

Orange Chocolate Sticks. I just found them in my pantry at home. I think the brother bought them. Apparently, they can be found in Aldi. Perfect fit for my handbag. Quick snack when I'm on the go. But super unhealthy. So I've refrained myself from carrying this around. Smart thing to do! haha

Wow I see that 3/ 5 items are food. Eeks I'm in a lil bit of trouble here. haha

Ok, time to sleep!

Goodnight everyone!

My Week So Far...

I had a pretty hectic week. Monday - Thursday was spent in uni, helping out at Orientation Week. Super tiring. I wasn't prepared for the tiredness. haha

But it was still fun. Being in uni again meant I was able to squeeze in some time to have lunch with my girlfriends. 4 girls having lunch at Kaki Lima meant good old Malaysian food with loads of talking. :p So much so that we didn't have time to camwhore. Sigh. So this is the only 2 pictures I managed to snap -.- Super fail. 

Deco at Kaki Lima

Mee Bandung

This sounds ridiculous. But it was my first time at Kaki Lima. I know right, despite being here for 2 years+. *shakes head* Definitely coming back for more Malaysian food. Next time I'd want to try the Mee Bandung. :D

Fast forward to Thursday now...

My 2 BFFs since Foundation days just came back from home. So naturally we wanted to catch-up with each other over food. :p This time round we headed to Bacco at QVB for tea. The desserts were super yumm and veryy affordable. Choose any 3 desserts for $15. We had the strawberry tart, their signature chocolate dessert and this other yummy roll which name I can't remember. Would definitely recommend this place. They serve high tea too. So if you fancy anything like that.. You should give this place a try. 

I really enjoyed the ambience of Bacco. This place was cosy, warm and welcoming. (: A really nice place to chill out with your friends. 

After tea, I headed to Pandora and got another 2 charms. (: Thought of getting 4 initially, but I decided to go  slow. 

I wanted to get the blue butterflies, but the maroon ones looked better in real life. :p Also, I got the money bag as a self reminder to save and that money doesn't grow on trees. I've to work hard for whatever I want in life. (: haha

Now, here I am wondering how I'll spend my weekends before uni starts. Do you have any plans? Anything interesting to share? (:

Something I Didn't Expect!

Remember a few days ago I said something about signing a contract for a part-time job?

Well, I'm currently employed by my university (UNSW)! Yayyy!!!

I'm going to be taking up the roll as a PASS (Peer Assisted Study Session) Tutor. It's a pretty big deal to me. Why? 'Cos when I went in for interview last year, I didn't think I would be selected. Being a tutor for Statistics/ Quantity Analysis is beyond me. haha I don't see myself as the brightest student there! 

But after attending the 2-day training session last week, I feel like I'm pretty up to the job. Yes, there are loads of preparations I've to do. For instance, I've to study/ revise the subject again. But I guess I'll be able to handle it! :)) 

I'll be taking 2 classes a week! Now, that's a start. Hope I do not disappoint as a tutor. And along the way I hope my future students will enjoy the course. *fingers crossed*

O-week will start tomorrow and uni will resume the following week. I actually can't wait! It all sounds pretty exciting. 

I hope your weekend has been filled with nothing but fun, joy and laughter! :))

This and This

I've been so drained out the pass couple of days/ weeks. An average of 5 hours of sleep per day. Sleeping late and waking up early isn't a good combination at all! And I just realized that summer hols are going to be over in a week or so. But since I've to help out during O-Week (Orientation), might as well count my summer holidays to be over! :( 

My feeling now: Exhausted BUT Happy.

 I just signed a contract for a job today! :)) Studying and working part-time this coming semester is going to force me to learn to juggle my time properly! 

To a growing bank balance, That shoe and That bag! ;)
