Hello November

Hello november, i cant believe how fast time flies. Welcoming november means i should start preparing for my exams... three exams and im done with uni. well, HOPEFULLY! i still remember, when i was in year 12 about to graduate, i had a thought "omg im graduating year 12 soon, im going to start uni soon, cant believe it! feels like i just started yr 12 yesterday" and now im like... "omg im graduating uni in less than a month, time travels faster than anything, cant believe it, feels like i just started uni yesterday (not really) and then here i am about to graduate and the next thing i'll realize: i'm getting married then have kids then have grand kids, i'll be an old granma" ah well, we all have our times..

Anyway, here's what i did during the last week of October:
                 
                                            Halloween party:    

My friends and I at Halloween party!

It may be hard to recognize me, and yes i dont even believe it my self that i can be this scary. LOL. anyway, im going to put the blame on the boys. I was just testing the face paints that we bought before Halloween, i was about to wash it off my face but they wont let me. And when i came to the club, people were taking pictures with me because i was the scariest and my friends couldn't even recognize me. haha.


                                           Final Presentation:

This is me after presentation with my group mates... (missing one more person tho)

During our final semester, we have to do a subject called "integrated marketing topics" and at the end of our study, all students must present in front of scary marketing seniors that include former head of marketing school, associate professor and 2 tutors. And we have to wear formal clothes.

Apart from Halloween party and final presentation, during the week, i also:
- handed 2 projects
- another presentation for my other course
- eat a lot

So, it was a busy busy week.. and as some people know, november is a busy month for uni students.

wish me luck :D and good luck for those having their exam this month.

The mayonnaise jar and two coffee cups

I found this story and i love it! It has been around for quite a while, so maybe most of you have already read this before.

When things in your life seem, almost too much to handle,
When 24 Hours in a day is not enough,
Remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class
and had some items in front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly,
He picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar
And proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students, if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured
them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open Areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively
filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

'Now,' said the professor, as the laughter subsided,
'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things - family,
children, health, Friends, and Favorite passions –
Things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, Your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house, and car.

The sand is everything else --The small stuff.

'If you put the sand into the jar first,' He continued,
there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life.

If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff,
You will never have room for the things that are important to you.

So...

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play With your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner.

There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.

'Take care of the golf balls first --
The things that really matter.
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled
'I'm glad you asked'.

It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
There’s always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.'

 

Dear bestfriend :)

but you are always on my side

and get me through my tides

Thanks for being my bestfriend

Keeping up with my life trends

Being there for me 'till the end

Always there to lend a hand

With love - D

Bugsy

He's a guinea pig. We called him Bugsy coz he looks like a guinea pig from a movie called "Bedtime Stories". I loved him so much. He is so cute, like SO SO SO CUTE OMG!!!!!!!!! (as you can see from his pics). Unfortunately, *sobs* he died, on the 27th of june 2010, which is a day after his birthday and a day before my birthday. I dont really know how he died, we all assumed that it happened because it was too damn cold that night.

                                             Little bugsy hiding im my pocket :)

Dear Bugsy,
You have been gone for a while now
But you will always be in my heart
Thank you for being a great boy
You were part of my life
No other guinea pig can ever replace you
Rest in peace


Love, mommy.

First Love

Almost 8 years ago, i arrived here in Adelaide... geez, cant believe its been almost 8 years now.. time flies!

I came from a country where having a maid is not unusual. I dont have to do anything. No cooking, no washing, no cleaning and whatsoever. That's why my parents sent me here, to Australia, where i have to learn many many things in order to survive. I learnt how to cook from my eldest sister who is really good at cooking. Then i stretched my cooking skill from experiences and my love for cooking. 

Anyway........ it was 8 years ago, when i had to do "home economics" as one of my subjects at school. Home economics has nothing to do with the economy, its actually a cooking class. I have no idea why they named it "home economics". (whatever, lets cut the crap)

Back then, our school had a special event and I (who was doing home ec at that time) was appointed to make a cake that i must serve to a group of people (which include some students and teachers).

And here it is:

I know i know... it doesn't look that good, it was my first time baking anyway :p but this cake was my first love, this is where i found my passion for baking, after baking this! It always feel so good everytime i successfully baked. Although i'm not a very big fan of sweets myself.. but i like to make people happy from what i made (especially my little sister <3). I admit that i'm not that great at baking now, well... NOT YET, there are still a lot of stuff and techniques that i need to learn, but i know that i'll master it one day. 

First Post :)

I should be doing my assignment, wait... its ASSignmentSSS... anyway this is my first time posting in a blog so that should be a good excuse...

I have always wanted to blog since like a few years ago, but then i always forgot to do it... and the other day, when i saw one of my friends' blog, i was keen to make one so i did and everytime i wanted to post something, i ended up with nothing... so maybe this is a good start... :p

So, right now im still in Adelaide, South Australia... i have about a month and a few days till i graduate bachelor of management (marketing). YAY! im excited and scared at the same time... im going to face the real world soon!

Talking about Adelaide, its actually a very nice place. Some people might think that Adelaide is such a boring place, but once you've lived and explored Adelaide, you'll find this place pretty amazing... so, i'm pretty sure that i'll miss this place once i've moved to Sydney next year :) but yea i have always loved Sydney so im excited :D

So, a little info about me... i love food, music, baking, cooking, fashion, art, and many more... so, i'll post a lot about them :)

Enjoy my blog and thanks for reading :)
