Feb of 2009 Course Commencement Ceremony

2009-02-15T05:21:00.000-08:00

Monday - 16 Feb 2009 (dedicated to my John)

I'm writing this blog at 12.32am in Melbourne. A few hours ago i was still in Adelaide still holding ur hands and kissing you goodbye. Time seems to pass so fast when u're in the company of people u love. Having spent the last month of 2008 with u in Singapore and the beginning of 2009 in Melbourne, i realized 1 thing. It is now almost impossible to spend another day without you. I may be able to survive Without You but i choose to want to spend my time With You.

The times we've been through, our First movie (twilight) , our First dinner (Cafe kowloon), our First Christmas (at uncle david's place),our First Boxing Day (albert court hotel), our First New Year (your house), our First Holiday (Melbourne), our First CNY (kopitim),our First CCC together (Holiday Inn), our First Valentines' Day (Swish) and our First month apart (u in adelaide and me in melbourne).... and many more "first" to come...

Being away from you seems like a part of me is missing.. hearing your voice is reassuring and so is seeing you but it will never feel the same as being with you.

Happy 4th Month darling..

A New 2009 (Melbourne and Adelaide)

Hi everyone, i'm currently writing from Adelaide after settling down in Melbourne to start my internship. My internship was delayed till the 16th Feb so i decided to make a trip down to Adelaide to hang out with the boys. (John,Ganeev,Sushant and Nash)
Anyways, since this is a new year, the guys in the unit decided to have a BOLD,BALD time at CCC. I would say this would be a good idea because of the horrible heatwave sweeping through Australia. Adelaide was around 40 to 47 Degree Celsius these past few days and i can imagine their relief after getting their new haircut. Will update more..

Last Few Weeks in Adelaide Year 2008

2008-12-11T01:09:00.000-08:00

Thursday - 11/12/08

Its my last night here in Adelaide for this Year (2008). I've never enjoyed school as much as this semster in a long long time. I had so much fun hanging out with Kaveri, Kate, Charmayne, Sylvester. I spent the morning with Charmayne at Tea Tree Plaza and did some shopping. She mentioned that she wants to "kidnap me and not let me go home" lol... I am already missing Kavs, Sylvester and Charmayne. Kavs and Sylvester have left campus and are somewhere..... I will not see Kavs for the next 1 yr and Sylvester... i may see him in singapore or may not even see him anymore. It was great having known these 2 person.. both bitches and slut... Felt real good to have a heart to heart talk with sly on his last night on campus a few days back... Charmayne, thanks for today.. i will definitely miss u..

The past few weeks, i had dinner with my last year's group (30D) and took a school trip to McLaren Vale and Hahndorf. On monday, i had dinner with this year's 2nd year students at Fellini... There are quite a few pictures involved in this blog... Have fun..

Wednesday - 24/11/08

First of all, i need to say.. I've been sick for 3 weeks!! How unlucky am i to have tonsilitis and down with the Flu at the same time? Adding to that, i have assignments and exams! I have attached a picture of my bleeding wound! I had to go through 3 of that.. i had 3 jabs in my side to fight my tonsilities..

On friday, I arranged dinner with Mark and May at Auge, an Italian restaurant. Auge is awesome! Attached are some pictures of that night. After Auge, we headed to Mark and May's place for a little chill-lax and then headed off to Swish for a night's P-A-R-T-Y-ING!

One Month and International Food Festival

2008-11-18T18:05:00.000-08:00

Wednesday - 19/11/08

Wow, it's been a month since we've got together. On Sunday, We had a fabulous dinner at Skyline Restaurant at Rydges Hotel. It's so YUM! but sadly, we had to rush back home to finish up our assignments and i had exam the next day. Fantastic food and wine accompanied by my favourite man.. what a combination! Photos to boast!

On Saturday, we had the International Food Festival. Its when everyone from each individual country get together to cook their country's unique dishes. The kitchen was in chaos when everyone first started. People queuing for the stoves and the rice cooker and hoping to get the dishes out by 6pm. It was a total mess.. People who came were friends of students as well as lecturers and their family.

Every sweat of each individual student paid off! The food was great.. people were enjoying the food and drinks..There was a huge variety to choose from! I only have a few shots to boast! Enjoy~

Korean Cuisine

Singapore Teh-Tarik!

Last but not least... SINGAPORE CUISINE

Tuesday - 11/11/08

"I Hate Indians" this is what i frequently hear from Josh. He dont exactly fancy Indians.. Been living with them in the same unit for the past 4-5 months. I have not seen Josh so angry so i think the Indians must have really pissed him off..

I had PPM group meeting yesterday and we divided the task to do. Josh was suppose to send us the file so that we could have a head start. The pictures in this post is part of the document that Josh sent us.. Have a good laugh~!

On the topic of Indians.. I hate Indians too!! LOL.. i have this girl (u know who u are =x) who is constantly trying to put me down by saying " You wanna be TAN.. or ness WHITE" and i have this guy (u know who u are as well) who is ALWAYS finding something to annoy or make fun of me.. I remember sitting in PM's class.. Kavs on my right and John on my left and i said it! i said " I HATE INDIANS!" man, what a relief =x How ironic though, i hate Indians but my good friend is a Indian and my bf is a Chin-dian (Half Chinese, half Indian).. hmmm.. God must be playing a joke on me LOL..

Seriously, i DO NOT hate Indians.. i just need/wanna/hope to find something to disturb Kavs and John.. I Love the 2 of them to bits =) every single bone in them is loved my ME!!!

Courtesy of Josh.. Enjoy..

Friday - 7/11/08

School dosent seem half as bad anymore! Found someone else to annoy, bug and go crazy over! Someone who is willing to be my pig *oinks*.. but as usual.. guys will always be guys.. forever lazing in bed.. not willing to get out.. looking forward to me screaming early in the morning.. *WAKE UP!!! GO TO SCHOOL!!!* looking forward to this sentence ey? LOL..

Its only 4 weeks left to the end of semester.. our time will still continue back in S'pore but we will not see each other as frequently.. We're not just 1min walk away anymore.. Rather, 30mins train ride.. (Gawd, just kill me.. i hate taking the train).. whatever it is.. i'm glad that we're together..

Assignments are piling up.. exams are knocking on my door.. and im just running running running.. I dun wanna face them! My schedule is so fully packed! Group meetings over and over again.. Kavs, Charmayne and Soph have to write in a time slot for me to spend them with them! I should be a president or some sort! May do well =x

Anyways Charmayne, i promise to go clubbing with u after exams.. i need to let loose and go crazy after all the cramming.. and i will not see Kavs and you for the next 1 yr.. i have no idea how i am going to survive the next semester with all my good friends and bf away.. =(

Treasure the ones around you.. each and everyone

Have you ever stop and look around? Knowing you have so many stuff to do, so many things to complete, and yet have no idea where to start? This is exactly how i am feeling. It's not helping that i'm sick as well.. Yesterday while walking to the Vietnamese restaurant with Kate and John, i suddenly realized that i'm so far behind with all my assignments and for the very first time, i panicked at the thought of not handing it up on time. Time seems to pass by so fast. Another 3 more weeks and i'm out of school..

The past week have been pretty busy and hectic. I have not stopped for 1 sec and really just watch the world go by. I have been racing with the world, not knowing when or how to stop. Not realizing that i may not see some of my friends for a year (I will miss u Kavs). Not realizing how to cherish the ones around me. I hope these moments in time will just freeze and let me enjoy the ones around me.. Those i can hug, kiss, cry and laugh. I finally finished my Kitchen Operations and i would not have anymore of it. Suddenly missing the whole process of waking up to cook! LOL..

Enjoy the photos.. xoxo

I went to the city with John yesterday night to buy stuff and for dinner. Met up with Ah V in town for dessert as well.. Ah V's Birthday was this week.. so decided to call him out to treat him to desserts.. Anyways, Ah V if you're reading this.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

This morning, i went out with my school mates for a relaxation time on board a sail boat.. It was a good start to the weekend.. Dolphins swam up to the sides of the boat..The Sun shining on our faces.. For awhile i did not think about school as well as the other problems bugging me.

These few days, Kate and i have been getting quite close. We've even planned to go to Halloween dressed alike! Let me give u the insides of Kate. She's a Korean but have lived in Taiwan for 9 yrs.. She can speak both Korean and Chinese.. Isn't that cool? ^_^ She's my age but she is currently in First Year.. She just came to ICHM this semester.. Glad to have known her!

Have Fun Viewing the Photos...

My my my... its October! another month and few days and i'll be back in S'pore.. and missing everyone here!! The times spent here was definately worthwhile!

Recently, been back to my partying days.. I have not partied since.. my gawd.. a long long time.. and well, it feels quite good to let loose.. Taking time off from school, getting drunk and having bruises.. i have absolutely no idea where it came from! must have knocked against something...

I'm back to my busy schedule for the week, need to rush through some stuff... Shit loads of leftover homework and assignments to be done.. AND.. im starting to plan my days with peeps back home in S'pore.. i need to plan stuff properly.. have too many people to catch up with..

I had an extremely good time in HQ on Sat.. Here are some photos..

Let me start of by quoting u.. "Ness, u better say in your next post that u can cry on my shoulders as well!" hehe.. Hun, i remembered those words.. so... I DECLARE THAT I WILL CRY ON KAV'S SHOULDERS FROM NOW ON! ^_^ how's that sound?

So, my beautiful Kavs got so drunk at the Tav on thurs night.. it was hilarious.. while walking back to campus, she fell down and just sat there laughing =.= i ended up supporting her all the way back.. I love it when Kavs is drunk... she spill all sorts of secrets! really really detailed... i enjoyed listening to them.. honestly.. its so cool that she can just let loose and spill~ *go girl!*

Friday morning and Kavs was still tipsy.. she have this "thing" about walls and doors... apparently, she LURVES walking straight into them.. i have never seen someone so affectionate to the plain old doors and white washed walls.. Kavs.. u're truely 1 of a kind! the best kind.. considering that there is only u.. =x I hope u did enjoy urself these few days with me.. partying away.. i know i did enjoy myself last night.. although the end half was pretty much a blur.. ^_^ catch my drift?

Oh gawd! Its been forever since i last posted... well it seems like it.. This entry is dedicated to my pals here in ICHM.. the ones that made my hell seem like heaven.. an illusion!! The times of fun laughter and joy in different variations.. i will miss these moments.. These photos are proof of what we've been through.. The memories that i would not trade for the world..

To Kavs: It's been good knowing you and having you by my side.. going through tough times and laughing with me through the good ones... Thank you for being a listening ear throughout this semester.. I hope our friendship would continue to grow as time passes by.

To Dan: It's been great knowing you better than last yr. I love it when u always have a hug ready for me.. especially during the times when i needed them the most. Thank you for giving me a shoulder to cry on every now and then. Thank you for being a good friend..

To Sylvester: Good to have known you although we may not see each other after this semester.. enjoyed every minute of it.. cramming for wine exam to the "hi"s and "bye"s..

To Grant: Been good getting to know you... Love it everytime i see your smile.. brightens up my day! Always armed with a smile.. dun ever let it turn upside down..

To Gianna: Thanks for being there to bitch with me.. and to lighten up my mood... you're sane and insane at the same moment.. a good contrast that i need..

To Nico: Good having to know you! Getting to know you better have been really fun... you're a nice guy.. and i do hope that Gi holds on to u!

THE TIME OF MY LIFE....

Nico wanting to kill me over Blue Cheese! It's MINE!

I know it's been a long time since i've last blogged. Lots of things have been happening to me. Have anyone of you ever felt as lonely as i have? I have friends all around me and yet on the inside, i feel so so lonely. Its a masquerade. Sometimes i wonder to myself.. all these happy faces i give to people around me.. is it really me? Is it a lie that i show to everyone to hide the sorrows beneath it? Letting my close friends know of how i'm really feeling..would only bring unhappiness.. why cause unhappiness when i can bring smiles to those faces?

Don't get me wrong.. i am happy with my friends.. i love doing stuff and hanging out with them.. but when i stop to think.. It's been a long time since i've ever felt truely happy.. its been more than a yr since i've really smiled on the inside.. another joy have been taken from me.. if i've kept it.. i would be the happiest person on earth.. but i chose to let it go.. i can never forgive myself for the cruel things i have done..

Never..

Exams Over~ Mid sem coming

Its been quite awhile since ive last blogged. Cant help it.. My exams for mid sem is over and i've gotten back some subjects. Didn't fail any SO FAR~ but i'm quite worried about Wine.. I hope i can get a pass for that. So anyways, after exams, we did some P-A-R-T-Y-I-N-G on campus.. to celebrate the end of exams.. and we went to the beach!! Mid-sem hols is coming up next week and i plan to go to the beach more often... i Definately need a Tan!

Just so u know, during the exam periods, people can be really really strange... and here are some pictures... I ran around my unit pretending to be MYOB superhero.. and then there was massage session of soph and kavs... and then... we had facial!!! at 4am in the morning!!!! isnt that impressive? We managed to get SOME studying done, get a facial and a massage and... be all crazy!! how much more can u ask from a school? SO... there are more pictures coming up.. but first, enjoy these...

First of all, the 9th of Sept is very meaningful to me.. My bf and i have been going out for 2 years (since 09/09/06)! Hoping for many many more of this day to come =)

So, We just had HSRM and Food Safety exam.. we're all pretty much exhausted considering that these 2 subjects are huge.. Here are some evidence that we are delusional.. Trust me.. u would be the same way when u're in this "asylum".. Funny thing.. we were all pretty alright before coming to ICHM.. now.. we're part of this circus act.. We've got to fit in somewhere , somehow.. sooner or later ^_^.. after seeing these pictures.. u can be sure to think twice before enrolling urself into ICHM.. the new asylum in TOWN!~

Kavs was crazy after too much of HSRM..This is wad she did to me =(

And this is what i wrote on her.. hehex.. "Branded by Vanessa, Love xoxo"

Part of the asylum..u get qns like this.. "The most valuable defence against Food Poisoning is: A GOOD LAWYER!!"

Soph studying~ i hope..

My crazy friend as usual -.-.. this picture says it all

Yea yea.. my book is a drawing pad for u, sly..

It's been awhile since i've last posted my blog.. I have been trying to finish my assignments and get ready to study for exams.. My exams are starting on Monday! So anyways, let's start blogging...

Wine class on Thursday was HORRIBLE! there was 3 ports and out of the 3, there was only 1 which was drinkable. It was the Seppelts and there was 2 other Vintage port..Horrible stuff *yucks* Although 1 of them cost a fortune now (it is a 1987 Portuguese Vintage port and cost a few hundred bucks for a half bottle) , it was still horrible by my books!

During Marketing lesson, I asked Lee to pose for me.. and he strike his most "famous" post =.=! this is 1 of the reason marketing lessons amuse me!

Yesterday, at HSRM, i managed to catch a pic of Kevin on the window still teaching us... have any of u EVER seen a lecturer teaching from a window still? i certainly have!

There are just too many photos to upload in this blog that i decided to post my photos before writing.. Well.. I've learnt 2 new words in my last accounting lessons today.. This is what Chris said to us (kavs, soph and me) "You've got to have a WORP(warm) sense of humor to retain your SALSITY(sanity)" wow.. nice words Chris =)

So, the photos that i've posted on my this post are of my TYPICAL household and my neighbour.. our lives in ICHM.. =) The 1 with the boobs are of Grant.. He envies girls with boobs.. so i decided to plant some boobs for him! (mandarins are big enough for him i reckon)

There's a picture of my classmates.. sleeping in lectures.. it happens when assignments and exams are near.. (everyone does All-nighters).. there is also 2 pictures of my fridge! we're all stocked up for war in Adelaide!!! Then, there's a sexy mama on the floor and soph giving Grant a massage.. and... Food from Kitchen Ops!! Hope everyone enjoyed the pictures!!

Last but not least.. i wished my bf was here.. so he can do everything else for me and i can concentrate on my studies =X i missed him!

Grant, are u happy ur pictures are on my blog? so stop complaining!

Sunday - 31/08/08

Have not been blogging for coming to 2 days.. Sorry guys =( So on friday night, i went back to my unit, Sophia told me about Ellie(1 of the 1st yr student from HongKong living in the same unit as me) always shitting in the toilet and NEVER flushing..hmmx.. i decided to take a look.. pop into their toilet(covering my nose) and OMG! u would NEVER believe how SHOCKING,FREAKING,TERRIFYING HUGE THAT PIECE OF SHIT WAS!!! it was roughly 5inch long, 3inch wide!!(im not bullshitting!) So guess what? there was even toilet paper in the toilet bowl for wiping her ass.. 0.o? i wonder how she wiped it? or did she just yank up her pants? *ewwww*

Enough of the shit, let's get down to business... Yesterday, i accompanied Soph and Sly to do tax refund. Whilst waiting for soph and sly, i decided to play around with Sly's ray bans.. there's a pic. At night, we went to Gauchos, an argentinian restaurant for dinner and to Au-gue for dessert. Forgotten to take pictures in Gauchos BUT i managed to snap a shot of Soph and Sly hehex.. In Au-gue, i took more photos of Soph and Sly as well as Soph's and my dessert.. (Sly was already attacking his before i could take a picture.) Enjoy ^^

Friday - 29/08/08

I will start off with a phrase.."For argument sake, shush! L&L ppl!" It's LEE's class!!! there's something wrong with the whole class. Everyone was fiesty and B-I-A-T-C-H-Y! We were all "attacking" lee with everything we've got.. and well.. Lee's being nice and he thinks everything was funny!! Today he used ME as most of the examples..(thank goodness he didnt miss pronounce my name).. Which lecturer EVER in history will apologize for disrupting a student's sleep? and when Lee saw JP smsing someone, he commented "Jon-Paul must be busy talking to his friend" and starts laughing.. 0.o 1 heck of a lecturer we've got..

Another thing.. Joshua thought that Sophia liked Sylvester and even talked about her marrying sylvester!!!( i wonder how it'll be like).. GUESS WHAT? i dreamt of the 2 of them!! i dreamt that they were kissing!! omg.. how in the WORLD did sophia and sylvester end up in my dream.. too bad an sms woke me up and i didnt manage to finish up my dream!

Last but not least! KAVERI, GIANNA, GRANT AND DANIEL, I KNOW U'RE READING THIS.. SO I JUST WANNA SAY.. U GUYS ARE 1 HELL OF A NEIGHBOUR I'VE GOT..

Wednesday - 27/08/08

Wow.. I'm finally 20! My birthday was yesterday.. Had a really surprising birthday =) i love my friends in school! <3 Sophia, Kaveri, Grant, Gianna, Su-ying, Joshua and Charlotte. Thanks so much for celebrating my 20th birthday for me!

School was boring yesterday. Imagine Kerstin and Kevin's class together on the same day! Accounting theory as the last period of the day. I almost died. Kerstin class was pretty fun i must admit.. We had practical sessions on Checking In/Out. Didnt take any pictures because i was busy playing with Fidelio =X and acting dumb..
After lunch, Su-Ying gave me a hilarious "present". My mandarins!!! with a smiley face and msg "Happy Birthday Gal, <3 Su-ying"

At night, i received a call from Kaveri (very usual, she always call me). She asked me over to help with MYOB assignment. So i was like.. yea sure.. be there in a sec.. Went over to Kavs and......... THERE WAS A CAKE! A GROUP OF MY FRIENDS AND A BIRTHDAY SONG!!!!! awwwww.... Thanks Soph for organsizing it all.. and thanks to all of u for making it special.. w/o u guys, my time in ICHM would be... dead =.= Check out my cake.. Hazelnut =) oh btw.. Kaveri gave me 2 tissues for my birthday to eat my cake LOL!!!!!! I love u too Kavs.. u're 2 pieces of tissue worth to me as well =X

Wednesday
Had some interesting knowledge today. During Business Law, Jeremy enlightened us that when a robber robs ur house in South Africa, and u shoots him with a gun, u're liable for his injury because u didnt use the same type of weapon. LOL!~ i could imagine a scene whereby a robber uses a knife and robs my house. I would be like.. holding a gun and go " oh my, gimme a sec while i change weapon!" thats just stupid!!! so anyways, gotta go over to Kavs place now.. <3

My mandarin present from Su-ying

My birthday cake in all forms: unlit, lighted, and eaten

Typical day for class 30M

2008-08-25T05:20:00.000-07:00

Monday - 25/08/08

Monday... monday... a typical "monday blues" day! We're used to having class at 12noon every monday but today onwards would be different, our class would start at 9am instead of 12noon and would end at 6.30pm (hopefully).

In Food Safety Class
Genevieve asked us to break into groups and do a flow chart on the Chemical, Physical and Biological hazards in food. We then had to do a presentation.. Funny thing was, JP (jon-paul) started talking about DONKEYS in the physical hazards in food.. (HE JUST LOVE DONKEYS) dosent make any sense but it cracks the class up on a monday morning.

The other thing was about Drew. Drew is the same intake as me but he had to redo some of his year 1 subj because he failed them. He was in my food safety class today and omg.. i cant believe he can actually find a gf! he is the yuckiest (if there ever is a word) guy i ever known! He digs his nose and FLICK his booger EVERYWHERE! ewwww.. AND he dosent EVER seem to bathe. I took 2 pictures of him.. SO PLEASE HAVE A LOOK!

Kitchen Operations 2

Its the 23rd of August! another 3 more days to me turning 20!! wow.. time seems to really fly.. This post will be about the whole week and its happening in School. Starting off with Fidelio lessons in BOR.. Heath and i were sitting beside each other during BOR lessons. He was really slow in Fidelio so i decided to send him a msg which says.. "Heath, get ur ass working and MOVE! u're freaking slow!" and guess how he reacted??? he started grabbing my keyboard and typing all nonsense and we were fighting and screaming. The next thing i knew, he shuts down my computer!!!! i then shut down his and we were laughing and stuff because we didnt save anything!!! Kerstin (BOR lect) was scolding us for mucking around..(lighten up kerstin!) Chill!~

One of the days, i was walking home from class with Soph and brushed against 1 of the tree near the school's gate. walked to the front of Sylvester unit and started chatting.. next thing he said to me was " Vanessa u're pollinating!!" wtf? LOL the picture will show u why he said that...

The day before yesterdae on the thurs, i had wine practical. was pretty bored and decided to quote what Irusia (wine lect) said "U're a lucky bunch to be able to taste the best Red Wines among the world" so i decided to take a photo of the wines =.= just being plain old bored ME!

YESTERDAE!!!! i went over to Kav's place for shesha and found her wall with all words associating with some sexual content.. i have absolute no idea why it was there and kavs said that she was learning new sexual words.. (she's mad.. forgive her! LOL) so i have some pics on some of the words and the shesha apparatus..

I'll be screwed up for the upcoming week to rush and do up all the assignments.. so i would not be as active posting my LIFE in ICHM!

I'm Pollinating! as what Sly said =.=

Wine Practical Lab

The BEST WINES =.= yuck i hate reds

I have not been writing in my blog because ive been GLUED to my assignment. Sleep was not an option unless ive finished. I had dinner with Kaveri, Sophia, Charmayne, Caesey and Daniel at a Italian Restaurant.. I've gt a shot of Kavs doing some pose on the street lamps.. crazy bitch LOL!

Was it Saturday or Sunday night that was weird... Alvin came into my room.. seconds later, Sylvester came in.. followed by Clarence.. hmmx.. what are the odds of all 3 guys coming into my room? and we chatted and chatted and Sly and Alvin felt hungry.. my room had no food so they started "ATTACKING" sophia's room LOL! ransack for food.. i've got weird guys living below my units *sigh*

Wow.. its Friday.. how time flies.. anyway, last nite was pretty hilarious.. I was talkin to Grant and Dan and they wanted to prank Kavs.. So.. we hang a clothes line from their door to our door.. and guess what? Grant drew up a sign which says.. "NO INDIANS.. BY ORDER OF VANESSA!" wtf? LOL so anyway, while waiting for Kavs, we decided to ransack the storage room on our levels to see if we could dig up any "GOLD". I took photo of Grant and Dan in the storage room ( i could blackmail them hehex) So when Kavs came back.. she was like.. "yea bitch, u racist.." i went " LOL WTF kavs.. i wont be so stupid and print my name all over it"..

I had Genevieve for my last class today.. and my class was just so frisky! i took some random shots of Hugh and Heath drawing weird stuff in class as well as Jon-Paul(JP) colouring his nails GREEN with the white board marker...my class is way wacked out !!

Past few days went by really quickly, we had the same routine. Wake up, bathe, go to class, come home, do assignments and go sleep. =( It feels like my life is predicted!

Something AMAZING happened, Joshua came by to my room and brought me some anime to watch and he started going over to my shelf and started fiddling with my stuff.. Guess what was he doing? He was packing my room!! LOL!! I even took pictures of him w/o him noticing.. I took a picture of him while he arranged my shoes >.<..

I also took some pictures during our Business Communications lecture.. we were all supposed to be doing our assignments.. I was a good girl and did part of it =)

FINALLY!!! Wine and People Management assignments are out of my way.. i've got more time to myself for a few days and i need to rush through my ITD Report..(damn) ITD report 2nd draft is due next tuesday and i have got nothing!! no structure, nothing!! These few days were pretty weird for me.. Many Ups and Downs.. Saturday was one hell of a day.. I went out with my Last Yr's Group.. THE BEST GROUP EVER!! Group 30D.. There was about 5 people missing (we didnt want tommy to come and the rest of them arent coming back this semester) We went to The Lion on Melbourne St. and had some PDD (Pre-dinner Drinks) and then headed to a Mexican restaurant nearby. We then headed down to Hindley St. for somemore drinking and dancing.. (I SWEAR that when u're in the hospitality line, u learn to drink ALOT!) Jennifer was pretty smashed after dinner and she felt like vomitting.. Thank God most of us werent smashed!
We had pretty much a hell of a time.. Felt good coming back together.. Anyways, whatever happen in 30D stays in 30D (i cant spill ^_^ )

The bad news on sat was that my darling managed to crawl home some way or another dead drunk! and u guessed it! i was pissed and as u know, he got a hell of a scolding from me.. *i was being very lenient!* The other bad news was that i had Wine and People management assignment due today and i didnt get started until Sunday LOL! BUT! i managed to finish so.. WHOO HOO!~

Its Thursday!!

Damn, i thought we just got started here!! and exams are so soon! You have to be really mad to be able to survive in here.. many assigments were due the 2nd week we started school and more coming up at the end of this week. Well, this week didnt have any happenings except for the field trip we had to a food lab and saw all the bacteria that are present in food..disgusting... we also celebrated Charlotte's birthday at Graduates and i've got a picture of my main course!! Kangaroo (cooked rare..just the way i like it ^^) with Cous Cous and during the week, i took a random snapshot of Soph walking at the Swamp... Its about 5pm.. dark isnt it =) well then, enjoy!

Weekends and Kitchen Ops

Monday - 04/08/08

Hey Its's Charlotte's Birthday! She's turned 18!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARLOTTE!!! Welcome to the world of Booze, Clubbing and M18 Movies =) Take it easy yea?

So anyway, Yesterday night i chatted with Kaveri and went over to her unit. There was this Note that i reckon to be simply AWESOME! lolx..

<<>

So anyway, during Kitchen Ops we had John instead of Andrew.. Didnt knoe where the F* he went... threw us alone with John for the day.. my partner was JP AGAIN!! omg.. do u have any idea how PISSED sophie is with me? and now JP is my partner.. Hell, thanks! >.< (For those who dunno JP and Sophie..Sophie is MADLY in love with JP and JP is very friendly.. So, over the past few days.. JP was saying to Sophie "Do you know Vanessa is like a lil' sister to me? She's like a sister from another mother!" and he asks me for a hug.. Sophie then goes "Am i like your sister from another mother as well then, JP?" he replied.."No...." OMG YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN SOPHIE'S FACE!!! and her stare.. omg..ICY COLD!

What happened today was... JP and i were partners and Sophie's bench was infront of us.. JP was commenting how perfect we worked together.. and Sophie's face turned BLACK! that wasnt it! JP then said he loves Mint leaves and he started eating it.. He then shoved some into my mouth (I was chopping tomatoes) and asked me to feed him a piece of tomato.. and the BEST PART, in the middle of the lesson.. JP shouted to Sophie, "SOPHIE!Do you EVER know what to do?" At that moment, YOU CAN SEE THE FUMES COMING FROM HER HEAD!!! >.<

Thought For the Day : NEVER MAKE A WOMAN JEALOUS! >.<

Here are some pics from Kitchen Ops..

Class debates =)

Food safety class was hilarious!! we were discussing about bacteria ,its symptoms and how it affects us.. We were discussing about this particular bacteria.. its nasty and i didnt knoe much about it till awhile ago >.< Listeria Monocytogenes
This bacteria causes severe effects to pregnant women. It causes miscarriages or it can be passed from the carrier (mother) to child.. If passed to child, the child would be serverly disfigured or even mentally challenged.. Listeria is found in foods like milk products (it can survive pasteurisation) , soft cheeses, meat and pate. It is VERY dangerous for pregnant women to eat rare meat(DAMN.. sushimi >.<), smoked meat(smoked salmon SHOOTS!) and leftover foods!!!!!

On the note of child disfiguration, we were talking about how alcohol also affects the child's appearance when the mother drinks. My lect was saying that even if the pregnant mother wants to drink, the father of the child cannot stop her.. because it is her decision.. and my class guys went... "BULL!!!" U can always take the drinks away frm her and gulp it all down.. but how much can u prevent a women from drinking? u would be all smashed at the end of the night =X The guys in my class are very sensitive on the issue of women drinking while being pregnant LOL!...

Irusa went through the whole bloody lecture w/o giving up any breaks in between!!!! I was like.. an hour and a half of yak yak yak and i was nearly falling off my seat.. Its so B-O-R-I-N-G!!..

After wine lecture, i managed to walk to the cafe.. (with the help of suying and soph) and got an ice coffee.. DOUBLE SHOT!!! that should keep me awake during Business Law...(I HOPE)

So anyway, During the week.. we had some wacky talks..(Ivan, me and soph) and Ivan ended up cursing at me..(i cant remember wad i said =x)

And during Business Communications lesson, I was mucking around with Derek i came up with an easier way to summarize the Executive Summary.. =x

Travelling back to Adelaide

2008-07-12T22:51:00.000-07:00

Hey hey.. It's been so long since i've blog.. *ahem* just for the SAKE of EVERYONE to knoe wad's happening to me in Aussie.. SO.. Let me begin..

11/07/08

I was inside Changi's T3 finding my boarding gate.. I saw my Korean 1st yr classmate (Jay).. he's not exactly Korean.. he's Korean/Taiwanese.. he's KoTai? =x so anyway, there is ONLY ONE flight to Adelaide..so Jay and i walked to the boarding gate and started to fill in on each other about the past 6 months.. hw much hell we've been through.. this and tat.. and GUESS WAD? we saw TOMMY.. this Norwegien guy that stayed in Spore for 7 yrs studying in MY CLASS for the 1st yr.. Jay and I were like.. "LET'S HIDE SOMEWHERE SO HE DOSENT SEE US" (Tommy likes to think the whole world LOVES him) but too late.. Tommy came up to us..*damn*.. lucky we saw LOADS of other people from our school.. there was AT LEAST 10 of us travelling on the same flight. [ON BOARD THE PLANE] Beside me was an empty seat and next to it was a guy. I asked him if it was alright if i asked my fren(Sophia) to sit at the empty seat between us. He said it was fine with him so Sophia came to seat with me.. she filled me in on the "happenings" in school!!! I was so shocked at one news that i was practically SCREAMING on the plane..*here goes* Tommy had a relationship with a Japanese girl(Makana) in school during our first year..They always have "fights" in their room and apparently, Makana found out she was pregnant before internship!! SHE IS ABOUT TO GIVE BIRTH within the next month~!! The other thing was... Tommy is with another girl in Spore.. I saw him and her abt 2 days when i arrived back frm Australia.. Apparently, Tommy wants nothing to do with Makana and her baby.. WHAT A BASTARD! Poor Makana.. for falling for someone like Tommy... the rest of the flight.. The guy, Sophia and me talked.. The guy is frm M'sia..coming to Adelaide for the first time.. studying in Uni SA.. (He had some problems at the custom, lucky Soph and i was there to help, or he might be in Jail LOL)

[Landed in Adelaide on 12/07/08 morning]

We managed to do some shopping for the unit.. like basic necessity soap,washing powder etc.. unpacked our luggage and went to pick up our books.. CAN U IMAGINE WE SPENT A TOTAL OF A$65 ON CAB FARE FOR THE COLLECTION OF BOOKS?? I was so tired at the end of the day.. I just wanted to go to bed and sleep for the REST OF MY LIFE! =x

-End of the beginning of Adelaide 2nd yr-
