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

At present, I've only received 2 replies in regards to my employment opportunity. I.e there is no graduate position at the moment and one of them even suggested me to take tax course -____-

Well, better than no replies. Sigh..

At this rate of application, I don't know when I can get my very first full time job *sobsob*

MY LOVELY NEW WALLET *hearts*

Food food food

Haha. This is my yuk gae jang. Obviously, it doesn't look like the one from the previous post. Not to mention the taste is very different from the normal yuk gae jang that I ate in korean restaurant -____-




But I still finished it considering the efforts that I've thrown in; from buying the ingredients to turning them into a pot of soup.



Crispy chicken ribs with creamy corn on rice at Rose Garden. This is one of the best rice dishes that I had in Melbourne =)



Pork ribs served with chips and a bowl of salad at Universal, Lygon St. The sauce is juicy and tasty while the meat are tender and chewy. Love it!



Hainanese chicken rice at Taste of Asia. One of the best chicken rice I had. You should try the one at the Malaysian Restaurant called "Kota Raya" at Clayton. Their chicken rice is the best one!



Delicious big breakfast along Flinders Lane with my sister.



My favourite cappucino =)



My sister's hot chocolate.



The refreshing and soothing lemon lime bitters. Perfect drink for summer!

These food pictures made me so hungry now -_______-

I need to off to sleep to cure it =)


SWEET DREAMS

Christmas shopping

My first yuk gae jang attempt has failed.

Because I didn't even make it !!!!




So yesterday, I was planning to do grocery shopping mainly to buy the ingredients to make yuk gae jang.


But ending up shopping at melbourne central -_______-

Because it was raining and I was not bothered to bring the grocery all the way back from city to my place under the rain.

I dunno if it is a girl's nature but I found shopping do release my stress and boost my self-esteem. But then, it will definitely burn a hole in my pocket because almost everything in the shops were on sale and I was so tempted to buy them.

The things I bought to pamper myself =) With my own money of course. lol. Remember I had more work shifts in December? =p =p




1. DAWN Sarah Jessica Parker perfume for only $29.95 (original price $69.95). I love the light and refreshing perfume smell. I've been eyeing on it since months ago and finally it was on sale. So I straight away grabbed it =)

2. Pearl Creamy Under Eye Pencil - $8.95

3. Darkness False Eyelashes - $5.50

4. Silver and black eyeshadow - $15.00

5. Eyelashes gel - $8.50

6. Heart shaped necklace (Diva) - $17.50


After the shopping session, I went to catch a movie. Movie of the night .......

Avatar




This movie has very good reviews and everyone is talking about it.

I couldn't agree more. It was indeed very interesting and extraordinary. The graphic scenes and sound system were excellent and breath-taking. However, it was long and quite draggy. I'm much preferred if the movie was kept within the normal 90 minutes long.

Oh, some parts of the scenes were similar to Transformers. There were robots trying to destroy the aliens' forest. Can't blame because it is the same director of Transformer who made this movie.

안녕하세요 !!

I just found out a really cool website === > http://www.maangchi.com/

There are different types of korean recipes in the website and it contains videos that teach you how to cook korean foods.

OMG I'm always a fan of korean foods and wanted to learn to make korean dishes since ages ago. Now I can make my own version of korean foods, I don't have to spend my money eating at korean restaurant which actually costs more -___- 1 small yuk gae jang for $15 -______-"

*Happy* I'm gonna make my favourite yuk gae jang (beef and vege soup) tomorrow! Can't wait already =)



dang dang dang dang!! the mouth-watering yuk gae jang !!!

Eyes issue

I wear glasses since I was as young as 9 years old. Not many choices of spectacles back then. They came only in black or plastics with limited choices of colours. My mum chose a black-framed nerdy spectacle for me. I felt embarassed wearing that pair of glasses because I looked exactly like an old witch with black glasses stuck on her face. My short-sightedness was very mild then with only about -1.5 on both eyes, so I can still see things pretty clearly without my glasses.

As time went by, more and more colourful shapes of spectacles being offered in the market. I remember the gold one was once popular and I had like 2 pair of gold glasses when I was in primary 5 or 6. And then, from the frameless one to thicker frame with different shades of colours.



This is my new purple-framed glasses which I wear when I go out. I know it's thick -____-




This is my other browny-bronze glasses which I wear in the house. Oh, I wear it for 3 years already, and it is still in good condition. *loves*

Apart from glasses, contact lens has also evolved. It has became very common nowadays. I had my first contact lens in year 2003. I wore monthly disposable clear contact lens. After wearing for several years, I stopped wearing them because I thought it was so troublesome having to put the lens into my dry eyes every morning

Then again, I started to feel like wearing coloured contact lens now so that my eyes will look larger and brighter. My single-eye lid makes my already small asian eyes looked even smaller. I couldn't wait till my sister comes back next year to bring me the coloured contact lens. So yesterday, I went to shop for coloured contact lens. I stopped by this stall at melb central selling Geo coloured lens. They are so expensive, around $84 for a pair. So damn expensive lor. I rather buy an Ipod shuffle with that price.

So I went home and decided to buy online. I went to this website called Clear Contacts, specialising in contact lens. I decided to buy daily lens because I don't wear contact lens everyday, only occasionally. The prices for the lens are reasonable and I've placed an order for 2 boxes of 1 Day Acuvue Define Vivid. 1 box with 30 lens for only $49.95 and because I have different power for both of my eyes, so I have to order 2 boxes. Basically, 1 Day Acuvue Define Vivid lens has a dark brown ring with soft brown spokes that defines the natural pattern of the iris that can make your eyes appear larger and vibrant.

This is how it works.


Before and after....

I am now waiting for them to be delivered to my house. I should be able to receive them tomorrow. I hope my eyes will look stunning with the lens =)
*****

As I grew older, my short-sightedness became worse. From -1.5 at the age of 9 until -9.0 now. I am worried that I might go blind one day. Sigh.. I have thought of going for lasik surgery but then, I was not brave enough and also I wasn't sure which optometrist could perform the best lasik on me.

Hmm...

Oh ...before I forget, Merry Christmas to everyone out there =D

Have a great one!

sad

How to apply for jobs if I don't have completion letter and academic transcripts. You tell me. Have to wait till 4th of Jan to receive my formal CPA result and then send in to my uni for completion letter. Then, I can only proceed to apply for my residency and then send in application. But I still have to apply for jobs in the meantime. Hardcore job application tomorrow. A must!



I am





I need a friendly hug ....

Another boring day

I supposed to continue my job hunt since I'm free today but I don't feel like doing it. I'm so unmotivated because I never got replies on job that I've applied for. Teach me how to get one!!
Should I go for unpaid internship for 3 months so that I have at least a work experience and who knows I'll be employed by the host company?

Decision, decision, decision....

Continue job hunting...

No life...no christmas celebration for me.. pathetic.

This mv is so heart-touching and I nearly cried when I watched it.

How Do I Get Employers to Notice My Resume and Call Me?

Rick Saia's post yesterday ("Dude, Where's My Job? ...") listed five typical reasons a recent grad might be having trouble finding that first job. Coincidentally, as Rick was crafting that post, a reader named Jen G. left a comment on an older blog post, asking a closely related question.
Jen is a new graduate who has posted her resume on various online job boards.

"Unfortunately," she wrote, "I have rarely been called back from a site that I have posted my resume on. What do I need to do in order to get employers to notice my resume so that I get called back?"

Since this seems to be a hot topic, I've added a few more tips for Jen and anyone else who's wondering the same thing.

Actively Pursue the Jobs

• Posting your resume for public viewing on web sites like Monster.com or CareerBuilder.com is a good first step, but it's a passive method of job searching. You have no power over whether anyone ever reads your resume or chooses to call you after reading it.
• Only IF an employer uses those sites for recruiting, and only IF your qualifications match their keywords, and only IF they read your resume and decide it sounds like a good fit will you ever get a call. That's a lot of ifs.
• In addition, a resume posted online is, by nature, a one-size-fits-all resume, not targeted to the specific needs of a particular employer.
• So leave the resume online, because you never know. But meanwhile, make your job search active, and take the power back into YOUR hands.

Check ALL the Job Boards at Once

• Go to a site such as Indeed.com or Simplyhired.com, which are job board "aggregators," meaning they search ALL the job sites for you (including Monster, CareerBuilder, company web sites, local newspapers, etc.).
• Select the keywords that are likely to be in the title or job description of your desired position, and do a search. You can narrow the search by zip code and other criteria.
• You can even save your search criteria and set up a job search agent that will keep checking these sites for you daily or weekly, and e-mail you any matches. But again, keep it active. If you're not getting good results, try different keywords or expand your search area.

Tailor Each Application to the Employer

• When you find a job that interests you, edit your resume and cover letter so they address exact keywords and phrases you found in the job description.
• For example, let's say they're looking for a "Senior Office Manager" and your resume shows you're a "Senior administrator responsible for office management." Those mean the same thing, but you'll have better luck if you edit your resume to match the employer's terminology.
• You need to do that each and every time you apply for a specific job. So you'll have one "basic" resume and cover letter, but you'll tweak them for every employer. You may end up with 20 or more versions, each slightly different. It's a pain, but it's necessary.

And finally, we hope you'll backtrack through The Pongo Blog and Learning Center for lots of other hints on how to conduct an active job search that will give you the best chance of landing your dream job.

A little update

I still haven't secure a full time job yet.

I find it hard to write up a good resume and cover letter that can impress employers. I guess that's because my written English is not professional enough?

While I was surfing the internet searching for more job information, I came across this website, careerone.com.au that provides tips which I think is useful in drafting my resume.

I'm going to copy and paste it here for my reference.

A resume is a marketing document that sells a product, in this case, the school leaver and so it is important that it includes skills, attributes and strengths as well as previous experience that will appeal to a future employer.

Melbourne based careers expert Warren Frehse has some helpful tips to kick off with.

"A resume should definitely have a full name, address and contact number usually a mobile so that the person can be traced fast and an email address."

Frehse suggests including a personal profile that should detail who the person is and all the best points, qualities and experience that would make them appeal to an employer even without any work experience.

"People under estimate what an employer wants to see. People tend to say 'I haven't done anything' when they have acquired important skills and experience through volunteer work or sporting clubs or profitable hobbies," he said.

"Employers are also interested in the qualities of people. Counting cash at the footie club shows you're trustworthy and honest and would be good experience for retail."

Frehse recommends including a concise list of competencies under a 'Skills' heading.

"Bring up skills such as writing minutes, allocating tasks or correspondence you had to undertake for a club or group."

Beneath an 'Education' title include the dates you started and finished school as well as the names of the schools you attended. Make sure you put down any important exams or subjects you have taken and awards you may have received.

Document your extra curricular activities and hobbies. Whether you were a member of a school team, part of an acting group or in the orchestra it is all evidence of being able to work as part of a team or your creativity, dedication and reliability.

List any work experience including jobs like babysitting or newspaper rounds and any community work, volunteer work or club involvement. With bullet points highlight what the position entailed and what was learned or gained from doing it.

According to Frehse "employers want to see examples of leadership or where you have taken initiative by changing something for example putting all the trophies up at the sports club."

Referees should be the last thing on the resume and should be listed with switchboard numbers rather than mobile numbers. If they are not from another part time job they will be "personal" referees.

"People you know well in the community, someone who can assess your character," advises Frehse.

Finally make sure the resume is no longer than two pages, does not contain a stupid email address that might put off an employer and most importantly there are no spelling mistakes.

I really hope I can get a job by January. Dear, God please give me at least a chance to get into interview =( I'm so depressed now. Desperate for a full time work!

On a side note, I'll be volunteering at Myer tomorrow.

I already forgot the appropriate techniques to wrap a present. LOL. Well, I hope I could recall it tomorrow and enjoy my day=) First time of volunteering! Yay!

I AM SO STRESSED OUT AND WORN OUT! am so dyinggggggggggg ..

Things to get done

Many things need to be done tomorrow. I have to go uni to give my CPA results to the admin to gain credits and apply for completion letter. And also the english test...hoping for the 7s...it is unlikely i can score that because i screwed up the speaking part again...sigh..i just hope i still can apply for PR and gonna start on job application. Hopefully can get a job by Jan/Feb...Dear God, please guide my way!

The result is....

PASS for CPA Auditing! and this marks the end of my university studies and am officially graduated with master in accounting!

THANKS GOD!!! I MADE IT THROUGH!

Emo

Current mood

Show me the meaning of being happy again


*weep*

Shits

You know what, the SHITTEST thing in the world is the feeling of waiting for exam results to be released. I hate it so much! I wonder when can I stop taking exams and don't have to wait for the results anymore....forever... Really, exam is a waste of money and energy and also make people stress...


Tomorrow will be the day...fucking hate this feeling...arghhh...rather go die!

Plain bored

As usual, today's work was busy... got no time to rest, worked 4 hours straight...luckily i was able to sit at all time during work... I have nothing to do now....just plain bored.... haha..another pointless post...oh yeah...it's already december! the final month of 2009... welcoming year 2010...geez..i'm not ready yet..

Tomorrow's plan will be go to CPA office to discuss about obtaining CPA transcript earlier and go to Borders to find books about job junting, resumes and CV....Jobs...where are you??

Happy things :

I SO LOVE THE WEATHER NOW! PERFECT!

Please don't give me hot weather again! Plssssssss.....!

Bits and pieces

OMG! Russell from Up is just too cute! It was not enough to watch the movies for only once. I've watched Up for the third time and I'm still want to rewatch again... It is so hard to resist!


He is an explorer who collects badges to become a senior explorer. He had only one badge left to achieve his senior position. Apparently, the last task for the badge is to assist an elderly person. So he approached an old man called Carl to offer his help...



But this old man is quite mean and nasty. He rejected his offer. However, it never failed Russell's determination to ask him again. You gotta watch the movies to see the rest! Ahh..he is just too cute!

**************************************************************************

Some updates...

1) Accessed my uni results last night...I passed with 2 distinctions and 1 credit... I could have achieve all three distinctions but the lecturer was so mean that he gave me 69% instead of 70% in one of the subject. So, apparently, 69% = Credit and 70% = Distinction..The only 1 mark made a huge difference.. Damn...Mean people are always mean!


2) Went for a health examination few days ago for PR application.. I had a full body check, blood test and chest X-ray. With the blood test, I told the nurse about the bad bruise I had few months ago as a result of my blood being sucked without applying any alcohol to kill bacterias and that I didn't want the bruise again. He assured me that there will be no bruise after my blood is taken. He was so professional and efficient that I didn't feel any pain in the process and the most important, there was no bruise left on my arm... Oh..I also have to undertake the urine test twice..aaghh...I hate urine test!.. It's just too hard to take a urine sample from a girl.... And also, knowing that a sample need to be taken make me nervous and the urine didn't want to come out even though I have forced it.. I hope I won't have to take any urine test anymore in the future -_____-


3) I signed up for a volunteer work last month. It is a Christmas gift wrapping volunteering work at Myer, organised by Vision Australia. I will be volunteering on 13th, 14th and 17th Dec... I went for a training session last week and it was fun! The supervisor was so friendly and taught us the techniques to wrap presents... It was not as hard as I thought it will be... Am so looking forward for the day!


4) Feel so good to work with my ex-boss again... He is kind, humble and funny as usual. I didn't feel any stress at all while working in his centre. The workload is not as heavy as I have with my current boss. I was working with him last year but got transferred to his wife's centre.. Don't get me wrong. I'm happy to work in his wife's centre, just that it is understaff there and more work to do... You know, ladies tend to be more fussy and have higher expectation... Ah well, I couldn't complain much because I'm already lucky to have a part time job...what can I ask for?


For now, I just have to wait for Friday for the other results to be released *double finger-crossed*

I hate chatting with someone who always have to do other things half way of the conversation. Or simply have to make me wait while he/she was attended to other business..i rather they just say they're busy and they are not interested in the conversation. Why I'm always the one who have to do the waiting?

I HATE WAITING!!GOD DAMN FUCKED THEM OFF!!!

WAIT is something that is so fucking UNBEARABLE!!!

I don't want to live anymore

I feel sucks again... had a nightmare about how I did badly in my exams.... feel dying..........soon...and job hunting...dunno what i want!

Study again?

I came across an ad on the MX paper about this course called Graduate Certificate in Professional English Communication. It is actually offered by my uni. I'm kinda attracted to this course because it is only one semester full-time and includes an internship in a workplace of my profession. Not sure if my parents still want to pay for my studies... i owe them a lot...i think i'm gonna save this option till the last. If I still couldn't find a full time job, I might have to take this course to increase the chances.... I've send in the enquiries, hopefully will get reply as soon as possible...

Today's work was so busy because there were not enough staffs to help out. But I'm happy cause my boss praised me for being hardworking and that I can surely pass all my exams and graduate successfully =D =D =D

When there is a will, there is a way.....lalalallaaaaaaaaaaa................

Rants

I ran out of series/movies to watch on laptop.anyone can share with me?.. so bored... plus I've exceeded the broadband 12gb limit...sigh..have to wait till the 1st of Dec for the new cycle.. why we don't have unlimited broadband access here in Aus? double sigh...

By the way, I met a group of tram inspectors last night while me and my sister wanted to get off from the tram. One of the inspectors stopped us from getting off and ordered us to show our validated ticket. Damn annoying, I just want to slap on the inspector's f*cking face. The way he asked us, as if we didn't buy tickets and trying to escape from tram...When I handed my ticket to him, he checked very carefully and nearly poked his eyes on the ticket, hoping that it was not validated and hence, could fine me.... I'm sorry but I ALWAYS VALIDATE DAMN METCARD lor.... you think so easy to saman me meh?

Mentioning about metcard reminded me a news about a man who got fined because his prepaid metcard was not validated due to the faulty validating machine.... Apparently, the man couldn't validate his ticket because the machine wouldn't allow him to do so ... Why on earth he need to be fined? Irritating enough, the inspector argued that he shouldn't board on tram if he did not have validated ticket. He should either bought another ticket on tram or get off...the point is, he got a ticket but couldn't use it because of the faulty machine... I really want to smack all the inspectors lor... So f*ucking du lan them!

************************************************************************************

I don't know if it's just me or what, but I found people from Middle East stink!!!! Every single person from the countries especially the black indians! Their body odour smelled even worse than rotten curries... I don't know how they can stand lor... Yesterday, there was a keling sitting next to me in the cinema..damn it... he smelled so terrible and it was so unbearable... I have to cover my nose from time to time while watching 2012 ....so no syiok at all!!! For those who have watched 2012 would know that the scenes were very criticial and intensed.. I was so into the scenes when suddenly I smelled the odour again... on and off.... f*cking pissed off...It was surprising that the number of indians and people from Middle East in Melbourne grow tremendously over the past few years. I remember during my first year stay here, I hardly seen any indians around the city....that was back in 2003.. and then, what happen now is, they can be seen almost everywhere in the city... The most obvious one is, the BIG W's cashiers are all Indians...all blacks... i'm like woooaahhhh *mouth opened* Are they cheap labours or what? I know I sound racist, but I just couldn't bear it...


OK...enough of rant...I'm feeling much better now... back to series....i watched 10 times and can memorise already...ah..what to do... ciao!

Short one

I haven't been laughing so much and feel happy since forever... Today is the day.......when I finally found myself truly happy! =D=D=D

2012 is the best of all the movies that I've watched for the year. Glued my eyes to the screen all the way through the session...too stunned and I actually felt touched when the people try so hard to live but still have to die in the end. There were no way they can escape from the disaster!

Is the world going to end soon?

Done!

Another picture of me recently..lol...


and me, four years back




Geez...where has my time gone? Do I look older now? :/

I finished all my tests!!! I've spent nearly a quarter of my life, studying and sitting for tests and exams. I'm already sick of it....hopefully, i'm not taking any other exams at least not near the future... hope i'm doing well...finger-crossed!

Sick

I. am. so. bored.

I got headache..sharp pain on my head.... just popped in panadol but made no difference... I have to wake up early tomorrow to sit for the very final test of the year... finally...

I always feel unhappy when it comes to night time...I hate nights!!!

Meaningless Post

The recent me........

....having lunch at Chai.. BBQ pork and hainanese chicken rice.

I looked so ......er..don't know how to describe..just feel weird. I love the background though...

and...







Monster... lol...who is always busy, busy and busy.....


I don't know what I'm typing...i feel so unmotivated and am always complaining...I can complain about anything...can complain about the food served in the restaurant, can complain about the service given by the waiters, complain about weather, complain about how the cooler is not cool enough, complain about the tests, complain about the internet, complain about myself, complain about metlink..everything that you can think of, I can complain....

So sien....feel dying ...


I want to go to the outer space, out from the Earth and SHOUT OUT LOUD!

I'm crazy...

Ignore this post...

A little hope

I just received a message from my boss, saying adding more work shifts from 30 November onwards. I felt a little bit relieved because I don't have to look for other part time job in the mean time but instead, focus on searching for full time graduate position. I need to wait till all my results released, request for completion letter and academic transcripts, write a good cover letter and resume and I'm ready to send in application. Looking good for now =)

Moment of wonder

Picture taken on the 30th October 2008 when I obtained Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting and Finance) from Monash University (Clayton Campus).

Browsing through my graduation photo made me think of the meaning of receiving a degree from one of the well-known universities in Australia.

Does it mean that I'm very successful in my life after obtaining my degree?

Does it mean that I can get a good job?

Does it mean that I don't have to worry about job hunting and that I can be offered a job right after I send in my first job application?

Does it mean that I can apply all the knowledge and skills that I've gained from uni into workplace when writing my resume?

Why do I still need to go to uni when it's hard to get a job eventhough I have graduated ?

So many things to worry........So little things that can be accomplished......



LIFE

Untitled

Now that I have completed my course, I have to worry about getting myself a decent job. Job hunting is always painful and requires shit loads amount of efforts and times in writing up a good cover letter and resume.

Even I have an excellent written resume, it doesn't mean I can straight away get the job I want. I don't know what should I do to secure it.

Oh...and I have to go through the remaining 3 parts of shit IELTS test on this coming Saturday. I'm so freaking sick of it. I mean it!

I'm so stressed out!!!!

Crème brûlée

My long-awaited Crème brûlée .....






I have been talking about how much I wanted to try this durian Crème brûlée for the past few weeks to my sister.


Finally, I have the chance to try it..


One word,


Yummillicioussss!!!!!

Top 5 Hollies

I haven't been to the cinema for a while and there are so many movies that I want to catch up!

The top 5 movies that I'm longing for.....

1)



The Time Traveler's Wife. I have read the book and I am absolutely love it to the max!

2)



New Moon... Read the book also and couldn't resist to feel the real one!

3)



2012 ...Curious what will happen in year 2012 !

4)

5)



Final Destination 4 .. Watched the trailer and clicked to it instantly!


November is a good month for movies =)

Excited!!

Happy

I finished my last paper already! Hohohoho!!!! It was not hard, CPA was harder.. I hope I can score distinction for this...

So happy because I don't have to go uni anymore...I first started school at the age of 2 , meaning 22 years of education !!! and finally, I am released from assignments and exams!! yaaaayyy!~~!!

Another good thing is, I just got myself an evaporate cooler from BigW. Though it is not as cold as air conditioner, it is at least better than the fan because I can get cool air from it.. happy =)

Now, I have to prepare for the speaking test ! Fighting!!!

High

It will be the very final exam of my masters degree tomorrow and the very final uni exam in my life..cause there will be no uni for me anymore..

I'm 99.9% sure I'll be graduating with Master of Business (Accounting)!!!

Masters ------ hohohohoho!!!!

Say NO to uni textbooks!

*i'm too high.. can't wait to be over it!*

Cupcakes

I always love to eat cupcakes especially those cute little colourful cupcakes. I've tried the cupcakes at Melbourne Central but it was too sweet. You can actually feel the weight of the cupcakes. I guess one cupcake contains more than 1 kg of sugars? I wonder how the people who buy them would stand the sweetness.


I never buy cupcakes since then..

Until last few days, my sister told me there is this small cupcakes boutique at QV.




Apparently, the name of the boutique is "The Cupcake Family".

This is what it looks like when the box is opened.




These mouth-watering cupcakes look so yummy, tasty and beautiful!

I ate three of the cupcakes - vanilla strawberry, coffee and orange almond while my sister ate the green tea one.

The cupcakes were indeed yummy and not too sweet ! I definitely will go there to try another range of flavours.

BURNING HOTT!!!

I couldn't help myself but it is just that I feel



BURNING HOT HOT HOT !!!!!!!!!!!

I asked one of the kids (cute little Joseph) at my workplace if he felt warm today...

He replied, "It is not warm... But it's BURNING HOT!! "


Hahaa... see...melbourne's weather can be that extreme.. even the locals felt that burnt on their skin.


Please bare with me because it was over 30 degrees in a row and the place I'm staying sucks a lot!

No aircon and the heat was trapped in the room making it like oven..

I only have the small fan to cool me down but apparently, it is useless, because I only get hot air..

Arrrghhh~~!!!

____________________________________________________


I just received my IELTS confirmation letter.. My speaking test is scheduled on this coming Sunday, the 15th... so soon..not ready yet!


Speaking - the part that I screwed up last time..

I want to score well this time..

Need to be confident and know the topics well.!

Good Luck to me!!!

Fucked up

Not even a word can be absorbed into my mind.. The final exam will be in less than 4 days

Weather sucks, study sucks, the sun sucks, the heat sucks, the apt sucks..skin sucks..everything sucks!!! dying..

I had this rashes since yesterday morning...hate the heat that caused this. Was ok yesterday, only patches of red spots without feeling anything..but getting worse this morning, itchy all over my body...damn it!




I went to the chemist and the pharmacist prescribed a cream to be applied on the infected area. It didn't help much unfortunately. So I went to the other chemist in the city today and the shop assistant gave me allergy pills. I popped one tablet into my mouth and felt drowsy then. I felt so sleepy that I ending up having my afternoon sleep at home ....My home is like oven to me... hate it..I want to move out to an air-conditioned apt!!

Hope the weather can cool down a bit... pleaseeeeeee~~~~~~~~

Snow snow snow!

I feel like I'm trapped somewhere in a desert !

How am I going to survive in this coming summer?



I WANT SNOW!!!!!





I don't mind PINK one.. :D

Blogs or ads?

A blog is supposed to be a place where you can record all the things that happened to you or just simply a place to dump all your feelings in.

The origin concept of 'blog' had changed over the past few years.

Blogs nowadays have their own themes, ranging from foods, fashions, entertainments, parenting, etc etc etc.

There are even blog awards for those who kept the most stunning blog entries... They do it like the hollywood red carpet thing.

Not to mention companies placing their ads on blogs or organising competitions to bloggers who are able to promote their products in the most creative ways.

Most of the bloggers put in their efforts to win the competitions or being nominated awards to become popular.

I mean what's the point of having a blog for advertorials and awards? So sick of it..

The point I am trying to make here is, a blog is supposed to be the little diary that you kept once a upon a time when you were young.

No ads, no awards, no what-so-ever. Just pure thoughts.

Sigh, maybe I'm still not up-to the blog trends nowadays..

But still.....

Stalkers

The other day, I told my friend how I love to read twilight and how cool Edward is.

He disagreed with me and thought it was gross.

One of his reason was because many of her girl classmates freaked out (as in <3 him too much) whenever they saw Twilight's main actor (the vampire) on the tv or posters.

Then he sent me this poster which I think is very funny.



Have a good laugh!

Wonder why the author has the idea of vampire watching human sleeping at night O.O

bla .,..can't think of a title

Today's weather is perfect... As u can see from the weather forecast chart above, current temperature is 17.4 c..heaven!

But it will rise up to 31 and 32 by the weekends...a torture again! what's wrong with maintaining a cool weather at around 18 to 22 ? sighhh..

oh...and again, when I open the google website and this is what I saw...




Too cute!


Is today's a cookies monster day or something? :D

cool stuff

This is so cool! It summarises what I'm looking for in a guy ...what a creative tee designer..i'm so want to get one.. LOL

But I'm doubt if I'll wear it =)

Melbourne Cup Day

When I went to the google search engine just now, this logo caught my eyes.




Don't you think it is cute??? Do u know what's the meaning behind these? Gorgeous ladies hats on top of the letters...

It's the Melbourne Cup day today! Melbourne Cup day is a horse racing day. It is one of the famous horse races in the world. Since 1877, the Cup Day has been a public holiday for Melbourne, and crowds have flocked to the tracks to watch the races and possibly gamble =)

Nothing special for me because I stay at home to rest since my whole body muscles ache.. I've no idea what's wrong..it is most likely due to the extreme heat over the past few days -______-

Happy holiday, Melbournians!

The big day

So, it was my CPA exam which I mentioned before.

On the day, the alarm clock rang at 6.15am and I woke up without hesitation.

I went straight to the bathroom and had my early shower.

Then, I ate kaya bread and drank a cup of instant nescafe for breakfast. It was only 7am when I finished them.

I tried to do the last minute revision but my brain couldn't absorb any info... i was so nervous when I stared at the thick pile of CPA notes.

I couldn't stand it anymore so I decided to leave the house early. I took the 7.30am tram to Bourke Street and manage to catch another tram from Bourke Street to Southern Cross Station.

I reached the station at around 8am. Since I still have another hour or so before the exam, I tucked my bag of CPA file and handbook to DFO to study.

Unfortunately, I was too early and I was not allowed to enter the mall.

So I went to a cafe nearby to use the table for study. I ordered a cup of cappucino (second cup of coffee) because I thought it was not nice to use the seat without any food order.




Cappucino and one of the CPA pages on the bottom. I was on audit judgement that time and it did come out in the exam..^^

After having the cup of cappucino, my stomach felt very weird. I knew what's the sign was, so I ran into the washroom at DFO. Luckily, the door was opened already.

It was about the time to go to the exam hall at Telstra Dome after carrying out the toilet business.




CPA exam in Limelight Room

I reckon there were not many candidates sitting for the audit paper compared to my last semester's paper.

I didn't bother to read anything before entering the room.

It was 10 minutes after 9 when the invigilator invited us to enter the room with mobile phone switched off.

I read through the questions during reading time and started to panic because the first few questions were tough. I have no idea what the question was about.

I told myself to be calm. So I continued to read the questions in reversed order (from back to front pages).

Luckily, I got the idea how to answer. After the reading time, I began to write the answer. The time passed so fast that I thought I 've only spent an hour on the exam.

Overall, the paper was ok.. I hope I've done enough to pass it (with credit or distinction hopefully).

Fighting!!!

Thais

The other day, while I was thinking what to eat for dinner, my sister suggested thai cuisine at Ying Thai. So, off we go to Ying Thai Restaurant at Lygon St. There were quite a number of people already when we reached there. I heard the foods are so famous that we could hardly get a table if we go around 7 - 8pm.

The dishes we ate for that evening ...

Chicken Tom Yum

There were only few pieces of chicken and mushroom that came with the tomyum soup...quite disappointing..and the soup was a little bit too sour for me.




Seafood Green Curry

The Green Curry was served with squids, artificial crab meats (usually used for steamboats), prawns, red capsicum and greens.

Again, the portion was too small that I could count how many pieces of seafoods on the dish. I don't think it was really a seafood dish, so uncomparable to the fresh variety of seafoods in my hometown.





Thai Basil Chicken


This minced chicken was good. It went well with my steamed rice.. I love how the spicy basil flavour tempted me to crave for more...






Pandan Chicken

These little pandan chickens look like chinese dumplings... Don't be fooled by the appearance because the chicken inside the leave was so tiny that it was only a bite away. It didn't taste as 'pandan' as I would expected..i thought it was just a normal tiny piece of stir-fried chicken wrapped in pandan leaves.


Overall, I would rate the foods as average only. The portion of the foods were not generous and not worth the prices I paid for.

hot hot hot!

what's with the hot weather in spring..top of 33C today nearly killed me. I'm suffocated without the aircon or fan.

ending up applying the medicated oil i brought from home on my neck and inhaling the oil deeply, like taking drugs, to cool me off...

spent the day burying myself into pages of new moon... Stephenie Meyer's collection is my current addiction... it's kinda cool to fall for vampire and werewolf =)

aw..i'm craving for watermelon crush from BOOST. perfect solution for heat =)

shout shout shout !

what the heck, i do my very final uni assignment in the very last minute on the very last day ... i did it from 8am till 9 pm just now....i just crapped on the report , not knowing what I was typing...just hope i've done enough to pass =)

ah well,

FINALLY NO MORE UNI ASSIGNMENTS!!!!!!

God damn relieved... one more final exam though!

Big day

Hi people ...

Tomorrow is my big day :D CPA 101 Auditing exam !!


Wish me luck =)




My brain is not able to accommodate any more words ..let it digest by itself =)

Confused

I am going to sit for my CPA exam on wednesday, less than 3 days from now.. I feel confused now..I'm sort of ready for the exam but I'm not sure if I can answer the 90 MCQ questions in 3 hours. And I still have 3 modules to revise...By the time I reach Module 10, I could have forget what I've read in Module 1 to 5..

Though it is an open-book exam, I'm still worried if I can flip through the pages to find for answers in a limited amount of time. I must at least remember the basic concepts without having to search for answers for every questions.

What I can do now is to hope for the best and finish revising the remaining modules, review all the SAT's questions and briefly go through all the modules again before the actual day....

Dear, God, please guide me through *finger-crossed*

A word of comfort

Where hope grows, miracles blossom.

Hope for the best ~



It's the little things that made my day....Thanks Mom and Dad for your support. *hearts*
