A Mini-Break

Finally i have some spare time to blog. Actually, not really. Haha.. It was a busy weekend and i took 3 days to finally publish this post. Started on friday and didn't get to finish this entry till now. It's the start of mid-sem break! Time really passes so damn fast when you're busy. Although i'm having a relatively slow-paced lifestyle here in Oz, but my schedule is still rather packed, with schoolwork and stuff. Compared to Singapore, nahhhhhh~. Can't even compare. It's totally different here.


Just one thing i don't like about uni is the practical classes. It's not hands-on at all. Hmpf! I rarely get to do any of the practicals myself. I loveeeee loveee loveeee Ngee Ann poly's practical class. I miss having REAL practical classes. Haiz.. Oh well, i guess this is what happens when you go to
Uni. Even for Singapore uni, it's the same. Theories, theories and MORE theories.


Anyway, since we 3 girls had no plans to go on a short holiday during this mid-sem break. We decided to reward ourselves with good food, and a few outings. We bought LOTS of stuff when we went grocery shopping last thursday. Somehow, we just dumped whatever stuff we wanted to have at home without realising how are we ever going to lug them back home. Especially when we have to climb the hill. Anyway, we somehow managed to lug them back and promising ourselves never to attempt that stunt again.

We've also decided to have a busy weekend, occupying ourselves with little excursion trips to the city and Mount Coo-tha. But first, we had to clean the house on friday after good friday service, so that we'll have the weekend free. = ) Went to West End on Saturday morning, had our cinnamon roll - like finally! Oo!! And i have always wondered what's a hot cross bun. You know, that nursery rhyme? Hot cross bun, hot cross bun... blahblahblah.. Yea. Well, i managed to get some at West End market and realised that it's actually a raisin bun decorated with a white cross. Yups! I love anything with raisins. Raisin bread, Cadbury's rum and raisin's dark choc... etcetc... After that, proceeded to Southbank to catch Step Up 2 The Streets. OH MY GAWD!!! I SO WANT TO BE A DANCER! Their bodies are hot, their grooves are so.... groovy... Lol. I wanna learn how to dance! One day. One day... I love Step Up and Step up 2. Geez.... Ok... overall, i LOVE movies that are associated with dance, like Honeyz... etcetc..

Wanted to go 3 monkeys after te show to get some desserts. Was abit lost but we managed to find the cafe. It's known for their cakes, pastries and coffee. BUT! It's closed! Took us like...half an hour to find it, was quite scary to walk in those areas cuz the streets are filled with pubs and drinking places. But! We'll head back there next week! Hehheh...= ) Will bring pa, ma and kor there when they're here.

Headed home after getting dinner at Southbank and jumped to bed straight after as we had to wake up at 2.30am to prepare for our trip to Mount Cootha. Itinerary - Star gazing and watching the sunrise. It was simply AMAZING. Saw a few shooting stars. But was too excited pointed to them that i forgot to make a wish. Geeez. Hopefully i'll get to see some tonight with my hot dates - Yan xia and Alicia at the balcony. = )

Photos are uploaded. Enjoy them. = )

Loves.
