| Excuses |
The consequences of being at home during the holidays/study break.
You wish that giving yourself some time alone at home would cure the laziness of studying so you did not make travelling plans, but in fact it cultivates it. Because you will be torn between the thought of enjoying yourself since it is indeed the holidays, but the guilt feeling comes along if you don't use this opportunity to get some studying time. You do study, but fall asleep due to the boredom of it all and often wander to Facebook for some cure. Then the devil that is procrastination emerges and you will be in square one. The smartest people now are the people who actually made plans to go on holidays, because their time will not wasted juggling these choices. They have already chosen to spend their holidays travelling and thus every minute is worth and fulfilled.
So in conclusion, I shall pamper myself with a one day trip to Sydney.
(Such a poor justification but heck why not? =P)

I AM SO BORED. Holidays? Not quite. All these are self inflicted. By dragging my butt to the gym for 3/4 times a week, and not eating the foods that I want to eat. I WANT CHOCOLATE!!!! T.T
All these troubles are due to the numbers I saw on the scales last Tuesday, they weren't good at all, on the edge of ''fat'', literally like seriously, according to the gym guy. It's not the vanity part, well, I lied, part of it is, but most importantly *ehems* being on the healthy scale. I know I know!!! I don't look it, but it seems that way inside my body, and I cannot risk being unhealthy at my tender age of 20. Still got 70 years to live lah. Must protect my heart abit.
So all my stashes of Nutella and chocolate bars are kept in a rather inconvenient spot by Lyon so that I WILL complete my experimental diet lasting a week. Which consists of grains, fruits, toufu, vegetables and chicken breast. Should I get a more reasonable number this coming Tuesday, then probably I can let off with some REAL food, like dim sum or Happy's, but in moderate amounts. Yumm. =P
*** Anyway we had a MASCA meeting and we decided to add two more General Officers into the committee.
Congrats Zhafir and Mel for General Officer!!
Now the committee is a complete 1-0. Just what Monk (or any OCD fella) would like teehee!
Weee~! And for advertorial purposes...
MASCA, MASAC and Kelab UMNO are organizing:
DEEPARAYA!
for EVERYONE on the 11th October (Saturday) from 11am-3pm at Unilodge Courtyard. Yummy food awaits you! Stay tuned for more info. |

| Overdued. |
I just came back from a corporate valuation assignment meeting and was walking back home with Regina, my assignment leader. Since I only got to know her since semester 2 starts, so yeah we sorta caught up.
Then she revealed something to me which I heard of several times already but it still lingers every now and then.
Me and my girls we performed for SSA night 2007. It was very erm, sexy I think. And we did it to suit the whole feel and theme. Our costumes were sexy I admit, because we were into the performance. The whole package.
The dance I feel was nice, but some people did not appreciate it. Some felt it was too suggestive, slutty even.
I was the ringleader, so naturally I got fired the most.
So prior to knowing me, Regina had this image of me being all ditsy and erm, slutty. Thank goodness the image has now been shattered, and she is in her words, out to defend me. Haha. Thanks babe.
Prior to this, I know Minhua and Jon also said something along those lines. That yes there was a prior bad first impression. I am so glad that I have the chance to know them personally, so as they had the opportunity to know the real me.
I don't blame the critics; looking back, I believe we could have toned down a notch, somewhat. Nevertheless, all 5 of us are so not the girls we portray on stage. We were in character, into providing good entertainment to our guests. It's what we do as dancers, we act. We portray a certain persona.
The girls are strong independent and beautiful in their own ways outside the acting gig. And you just can't judge us based on one performance.
In my case, I have a dancing alter ego. Like, whatever I portray on stage, at the club, it's a different part of ME, somebody stronger and in control. The daring part, the one that is adventurous, without the influence of external factors, it's just me. And the floor.
And when I'm outside of that intoxicating circle, I am me, the girl who is simple looking, the girl who goes to class and does her work, the girl who has ambitions and much love to share with her friends.
Get to know me for me. It's evil to judge, really. |

| As Nature Intended. |
I finally got around to fulfill my dancing fix. And I was not expecting much for a Friday night clubbing session, just a bunch of friends having out. Didier Lyon and I first proceeded to May's room, Minhua and gang were already there drinking. THEY drank alot of shots while I watched. Haha. Well, I did have some. But mild ones. I can't really drink much, therefore I won't drink much. And I was on a diet. Booze = calories = more whining. Hah.
We first went to Moose. Marcus and Kenny were there already, so are my clubbing babes, Wei Ling, Mel, Jess and Hazel and the boys. =)
And a few of us went to ICBM since a bunch of Brucies were already there. I met Lili, Helen and JD as well to name a few.
To my surprise, yesterday's clubbing session was the most fun I had since International Ball afterparty! And thank goodness we switch clubs, Moose was getting sooo draggy. Yuck!
 At moose. STILL pretty tame. Hehe.
 At ICBM. CRAZY! (I had to edit it to b&l because of too much red eye effect.)
***
Went back home and after 5 hours, woke up, got dressed in 5 minutes and headed out to Floriade with Amanda, Gene, Lyon and Shawn. And who knew that my day would be soooo erm, au naturale!
Imagine the pain and gruesome walk I had to take from Unilodge to Commonwealth Park (and back), THEN tulip sightseeing for 2 hours, after 1 hour of gym and 4 hours of clubbing yesterday. >.<>
This year's theme was ''The Films That Shape Our Nation''. You'll understand why. =)
 GIANT POPCORN! I WANNNN~!
 Me and my poser babe, doing our thang. =P  Tra-la-la. I wish for a red shoe like THAT!
 Them feeding the ducks. Teehee!
 Oh and we met Kar How, Chi Yao, Xin Yi and Sze Huey!! =)
  groupie.
 Filmmakers. Very cute right? =P
We all got REALLY REALLY hungry from all the walking so we decided to have lunch at Arjun's workplace, As Nature Intended, which serves organic foods. Our first time there really.
 Mr. P: ''May I take your order, sir?''
 So nice right???? I love the feel of the place, so airy and so relaxing.
 My *ehem* diet food. Grilled chicken breast salad with sweet chilli sauce. It was soooo good for a salad, really.
My apple, carrot, beetroot and ginger juice. My mom must be proud. XD
Thanks Mr. P for giving a heck of a service!!!!!! So As Nature Intended boss, give him more tips yeah? XD And I'm definitely going back there again, to try more things hehe.
So you see, au naturale indeed. =) |

| Happenings. |
My left eye was sore and irritating since Monday. The problem persisted and today there seems to be an additional vein sticking out of my eyeballs. Yes, gross, yucky. My blog remember??? =P
Stupid me googled for solutions, but ended up reading about serious eye problems, blindness and all etc. In my usual nature, I panicked.
So I skipped corp valuation class and went to see the optometrist, my first in Australia. All I could think was:
1. Am I going to go blind *shrieks* and 2. How much does it costs?!?! >.<
Ms Jules started checking my eyesight, the usual procedure with some ultra canggih machine and all, hah and the verdict is some sort of localized eye infection due to something foreign entering my eye. phew. not so severe.
So I was prescribed some anti-inflammatory eyedrops and the total cost came up to..$60 bucks. Half of it which I will claim from OSHC. So not too bad.
***
Also just got back from Languages Ball organized by the School of Language Studies. I performed a duet with Yeam for a song called ''Hao Xin Fen Shou''. And guess what? The Vice Chancellor and his wife liked it. Weeeeeee~! Go check Yeam's blog tomorrow to see the details, since he's got more pictures to blog about. =)
Since I had to wear specs (I don't wanna infect my contacts), and I look goofy and a bit cock eye with specs, vanity compelled me to just be half blind the whole night. Oh wells.
 Everybody's learning my pout!!! =P
 Some of the finger foods we were served. haha. but i didn't eat all of it, duh. I can't. >.<
 Have you ever seen SO many *ehem* old ladies and uncles dancing to the salsa music in Malaysia? I think not.
The highlight would have to be... Lyon.
Cuz he bloody stole the Vice Chancellor's 1/4 full wine bottle!!! Well not stole lah, it was left there on the table, but STILL!!
In his defense, I quote him: ''He left early and the organizers were going to throw it anyway, I'm doing them a favour.''
 Still dare to pose somemore. *faints*

| Hair Raising Issues |
Serious meh? That no one realized I trimmed 3 inches off my locks. AND layered it. AND had an obvious V shape at the back.
Not even one?!?!? >.<
I have had so many dreadful experiences with haircuts. Therefore I don't really go to hair salons often, thinking that the probability of them screwing up is higher. So yes, I'd freak out if my haircut is not what I expected. Back home, I'd usually stick to a trusted ''family hairstylist'', since my mom knows her so well therefore the whole family goes to her whenever a haircut is needed.
I have contemplated on getting a haircut one way or another, have semi created a poll on facebook (hah!) because every morning I wake up, hair gets all fizzy and urgh, makes me look so old, and dreadful. So I finally acted on my thought today.
I walked in the hair salon, thinking I was finally going to do dramatic styles and what nots. But at the end, I chickened out. So the end product...
 Okay this picture don't do enough justice. But I feel so much ''lighter'' and bouncier even. It may not look like I had one, but I did. (maybe it's just the angle and the lighting, haha, it's funny how I try to justify the existence of my haircut) And very pricey I mind you. Don't want to announce here. Sure alot of hoohah.I got scolding from Arjun already, he said he could have trimmed nicer for me for free. But you see I'm psychologically afraid of untrained people cutting my hair. So yeah. >.< *** Moving on to better things: HARI RAYA CELEBRATION! MASCA ACT 2008/2009's first event! Be there or be square! Limited to 50 ppl. Check this out. *** Also just got back corporate valuation assignment draft review. And in lecturer Mark's words: outstanding presentation *jumps with joy* Congrats Toucche (our group name teehee =P)! Thanks Regina for keeping us on our feet the whole time. And the rest of the crew for their hardwork. Let's aim for perfection! Wooot! |

| Cars Anyone? |
| Haha. I would like to borrow some cars, just for one day (actually less than 5 hours). AND! I would pay for it. Probably will come up to $16-$20 per person?
So if you or your friends have a car and would like to gain some small profit from lending, please let me know! =) |

| Stupid |
| Okay here goes my venting.
I feel so frigging stupid! Fking stupid! Quiz pun tak jawab baik. It's not that I don't know how to do, but I couldn't SEE the clearer picture. Sian.
Have I lost the most important skill a student should have? The skill of doing exams? Gah.
No matter how hard I study, when it comes to exams, sure kaput. It's not kanchiongness or anything. It's more of my brain being so rigid. So stubborn to think, to explore.

| Nitty Gritty |
Can't believe that this is week 1-0. Starting Thursday I'll be having a 2-week break.
And I am so bored, and want to get out of Canberra! But. Have to cancel travelling plans i.e Bateman's and Melbourne...
Because.
No study break after the 2 weeks holidays.
Mid semester results were not good. Ngam ngam distinction for macro 2.
Assignment worth 25% is due after the break.
Gah. This semester stinks.
I can't look forward to anything. Except maybe Floriade and Amanda's birthday party. The rest of the hours will be spent slogging.
Having 5% quiz tomorrow but the study scope is so wide. Evil corp valuation! ><
On a lighter note, let's ALL hit the clubs on Thursday/Friday to mark the end of term 3. Can can??? At least go crazy for once then Friday/Saturday start work lor. =D |

Yesterday I have got like 95 hits. O.O Never had so many hits in Canberra. My guess is people are just nosing or speculating my response towards Chi Yao's post regarding the MASCA aftermath.
All I can say is he is entitled to his opinion, and so did the guy called ''An Insensitive Prick''.
To ''An Insensitive Prick'', I hope you won't spam my comment box after this, because I myself am entitled to my own opinion and wishes on my blog.
And Chi Yao posed a challenge to the new MASCA committee. To beat the odds and prove him wrong. Why not? (in the words of Maha) I am sure the new MASCA committee is happy to take that challenge. In fact, we are meeting up this afternoon to talk about agenda and feedbacks.
And I can tell you all that whatever I promised in my speech, I will execute it, provided that the president and the rest of the committee feels that the policies are the right move to take. And yes it might be easier said than done, there is no harm trying for the betterment of MASCA.
So my response overall: I respect both parties' opinion and I hope that the general public accepts mine. Bashing and badgering on one person is a little too much. I applaud Chi Yao for handling them as well as he could. |

| More Hectic Days |
MASCA AGM was, as you all know held yesterday. And boy was it interesting.
Xin Yi made an excellent and entertaining returning officer I might say hehe. And the video played showing all the past events was splendid as well, in a way brings back good memories. =)
Only 4 positions were contested, and the election results overall were just, hints of meritocracy were being played and speeches did make some difference.
My hands were cold the whole time because friends were contesting against each other. And I'd be torn if I were the voters because there wasn't a clear cut winner. In fact, twice the incoming committee had to decide on which candidate we would like to absorb. Gah. Decisions like these are always hard to make, but I believe a tie in votes shows that the votes are unbiased, and every voter is opinionated. Or maybe otherwise, but I wouldn't know. And would care less at this moment. Congrats Arjun for making MASCA ACT President, Maha for Social and Welfare Officer, Wei Ling for Education and Career Development Officer and Din for General Officer! =) And also other uncontested positions. Congrats Eu Gene for Secretary, Zaza for Treasurer and Ali for IT Director!
I believe we've got a strong and well-balanced team for MASCA 2009. So weeeeee~!
Kudos to the outgoing committee for increasing MASCA's profile tremendously in year 2008, and we the incoming committee definitely will continue the legacy and prestige MASCA upholds. Outgoing and Incoming MASCA Committee! CELEBRATORY DINNER @ WAGAMAMA!
 Arjun and Thines. Two avid readers of wildflowerwne.blogspot.com due to the three girls with sexy legs. and misses the sight of them. haha! In this picture they try to ban cute!
AFTER THAT! DESSERT AT GUS!
 Mars Bars Cheesecake. I likeeeee!
Then a bunch of us went to watch MOVIE. Mummy 3. It was okayy overall, I'd pay $9.50 for the effects, but the funny antics were very forced out though, unlike Mummy 1 and 2 when jokes were so smooth.Or maybe cuz we were kids then and we were more inclined to laugh. hehe. after MOVIE, Lyon and I went to find Minhua at the SSA Night Afterparty. Then we went to Moose. Didier, Marcus and Kenny came, so did Mel, Wei Ling and the boys. =) And I have not stepped in Moose for such a lonngggg time. I think 3 months ago? They are still playing the same bloody songs. Gah. Canberra clubbing is like that wan.
AND! As you could see, I haven't gone home since AGM so practically clubbed in my slacks and formal top! So yes, when there is music and friends with you, you can still club no matter what you wear haha!  Marcus and me.
 Didier with all the babes.
 Hehe. Minhua's learning the pout!!! =D
Overall, it was an awesome fulfilling night. And after 3 days back to back outings, today is hibernating and getting back to studies time. Phew. |

| China Night! |
It was awesome! Gah, should have performed lah this year. Nvm, next year not only I'll dance with Lili and other babes, Amanda, Kimberley, Kaini and Natalie, I'll sing too! Kua kua kua.
Came home, wrote like 2 pages long of MASCA speech. Then thought:
How am I going to cramp all these into a 5-minute speech?!?! T.T
Hah.
Anyway...
Pictures!!! (even more on facebook. go check! =P) Oh funny thing about the cute blouse I wore. Wei Ling gave it to me as birthday present. And I like it so much, I just couldn't wait any longer to wear it. haha. Then as I was going out, my left (in my direction) strap came off! GAH!!!And didn't dare to take off the right one because I scared the blouse would be loose and will cause another infamous wardrobe malfuction amongst isd, har har, so I was wearing a one-strap blouse the whole time. I think I can set a trend here. haha.
Me and HL. Who promised a dance battle with me at isd agm. I: salsa, He: belly dance. *grins
Hip hop girls. The middle girl was good. I like her style. =)
With two lovely girls, Wei Min and Minhua.
Yeam dressing to the theme!
Can you spot JD among the models? heheh. Then we kee siao and took pictures with the Beijing Olympics mascot!!!!! So kawaii lah.
 Aren't they adorable!!!
 With the siblings. =)
 With Lili. I so promise you we're sooo going to dance next year!!!Can't wait for isd agm. I think I need to lay off the eyeliner tomorrow. >< |

Today I feel so light, so fluffy, so happy. ^^
Finally I can start doing IFM report. It's a tick for my topic and my outline. Yay!!
No need to do anymore for corp val assignment, now just patiently waiting for feedback. woot woot.
And and! Most probably going back home on the 18th nov!! Yay yay.
Also assured of becoming the next masca vp as written this morning. *wink
On the contrary, I won't slack, I promise. I will give a speech of depth and enthusiasm no less that I would should I not know I was running unopposed. I believe some people might feel I am not suitable for this position etc, but I beg to defer and I can assure you otherwise. =)
*sighs of relief* It seems that all my troubles are vanishing. All the negativities aside. I like this, getting back on track. This week I've diligently reviewed all my subjects. *pats on the head
Have to start nerding somehow right?
And I get to go out tonight, tomorrow AND saturday to celebrate! Weeeee~!
 cherry. I like. =)

Interesting stuff.
I won the masca VP post. uncontested.
A sense of relief of sorts, but.
Hmm, doesn't feel like a victory though.
Because the full results are not out yet. have to wait till saturday.
Looking just at the walkovers, I believe we've got a good team for year 2009. Can't wait. So good luck to all my contesting friends. May be the best person wins. =)
Tonight is CSSA night. woot! insider source says it's going to be damn good. Was scheduled to perform hip hop with Lili and gang, but we couldn't choreograph in time. All is good. And! It's going to be like the first event I go without me performing, so no rushing to the backstage and change and whatnot =) |

| Plot Thickens |
I feel excited.
and anxious. hmm.
About alot of things happening here and at home. I wonder sept 20th.
I wonder what can be pulled out of the hat. What surprises and tricks will be unfold.
Can't wait to find out. Hehe.
Before before stepping into another committee, sept 19th marks the end of my ISD term! I thought I'd cry when stepping down from MSO but we were having too much fun doing jumpshots that I guess i ''forgot'' my moment of tearing.
Hopefully it'll be the same for ISD. Always a commitee right? =)
So this is a little dedication to all of them.
... Dear ISD Committee 2008,
Thank you for the beautiful memory. I will always cherish the laughter we have in meetings, the smiles when we take pictures, the hectic mode we had before every event, every beam of joy after every successful event, every sweat spent on choreographing the dance routines, every sweat spent on teaching those dance routines; and I treasure all your effort and dedication in bringing these routines to life. Without you guys, the dance wouldn't be as lively and fun!!!! =) I am so relieved that you guys could put up with my everything-I-see-is-worth-picture-taking nonsense every time; because I know sometimes it can be pretty annoying. Hehe. Also thanks for being ever present to send your love and care by celebrating the births of our fellow committee members.
I am so grateful for getting to know each and every one of you, because you have each carved a little engraving on my heart (awww...probably sound cornier if I were a guy ><). If no one has told you before you have changed someone’s life, I’m proud to say you have changed mine. =) My love and affection goes out to all of you darlings, Minhua, Jon, JD, Marcus, Didier, Shiori, Akram, Net, Eli, Shalini, HL, Kum Rang, Jaclyn and Alstrid. I apologize if I have wronged or offended anyone during the whole term. May we be good friends and keep in touch forever and ever. Love, Winnie. =)
... OMG. I saw the soft copy of the certs of appreciation and it was fantabulous!! Jon said the real thang is soo much better wah, I cannot wait sia! |

| Neighbours |
Gah. Annoying neighbours.
As I was about to go to sleep at 1 something, I heard noises.
First they screamed and laughed out loud, as if nobody could hear them.
Then the girl started to accuse the guy of something. Like a real life drama. Then they started arguing. My often patient roomie could not take it as well, and shouted ''shut up!'' to their direction.
Then for a moment it was peaceful...
Until sounds of moaning came along. OMG. Gene and Arjun, remember we heard moaning sounds when we were doing corp val the other time, it was the same girl!! More disturbing is that the girl was moaning like she was in bloody pain, so screeching loud! Yucks! And the 1st time we heard of this, we were 3 floors below the place where the sound came from. O.O
Then finally it ended, and we thought our misery would end. Yea right...
They started arguing AGAIN! The guy was even louder now. THE HELL, so dysfunctional!!!! ><
I didn't call the RA, because I am sure they really can't do anything. Warning after warning, sure still continue. Really, argument, then become like rabbits mating, then later argue again, walau, how to stop them?!?!?!? Shesh!
I only slept at 4am and skipped survivals because I woke up with a headache.
I am very tolerant liao, next time this sick thing happens again, I don't know how tolerant I would be loh.
Neighbours. Sigh. |

| Nightmare |
After the looooonnnnngggg hectic weekend, I deserve some good break right?
But nooooooo I did not.
I dreamt of something sooo fking disturbing last night. The worst nightmare I have had in a while.
I dreamt that, *gulps the uni has massacres. I don't want to elaborate too long about it, but what I can say is that it was soo surreal. I was just running away from this imaginary whackjob who is out to get me. A few of my friends were victims of this insanity. OMG. I woke up at the wee hours of the morning screaming.
Luckily I was able to 'switch' dreams when I slept back again. And the second dream was the usual life drama comforting dream I always have haha, so my day was not spoilt completely.
Phew. |

| Whirlwind |
Guess what? I was in Canberra on Saturday!
Haha, and no you didn't get punked. I'm serious!! T.T
Sudden change of plans yeah?
So my journey in Sydney goes like this.
Took a bus to Sydney at 10am, arrived at Central, went to a public toilet to fix my hair and make up, then rushed like a mad woman to Grace Hotel, which was like bloody far away!!!! Took me an awful 30 minutes to reach there!!! ><
Went there, interview with SC went superb. So hopefully I get the good call. *winks.
After that, the most bizarre thing happened, the Bank Negara person called up, said the dinner scheduled the next day will be brought forward to the day itself, 4 hours later. I was like. Huh? Well apparently, the assistant governor had to go back to Malaysia the next day. And Bank Negara scholars were to meet her anyway, so she tried to combine both scholars and the others like me into one session.
So there I was thinking, maybe I should go back to Canberra the night instead. Plus, I could go to the MSO AGM the next day anyway...
After my short BNM interview, it was sightseeing time!!
Met up with my dear dear friend Joanne for lunch. Yummy Teriyaki Chicken Udon!
 Not forgetting to do some self pampering with EasyWay. If only they open a branch in Canberra!
 Yumm, my honeydew milk tea. I wanted Vanilla but EasyWay don't offer! Have to go Melbourne to find that flavour...=( We did much window shopping and catching up. hehe =)
 Jessica came later, hehe she trying on cute sunnies at Paddy's.
 My gawd, do I look tired!!!! Me and Jo.
After catching up, they dropped me at Cafe Kasturi where the dinner was held. And it was such an amazing experience to meet all the scholars (actually felt intimidated at first =P), and most of all Pn. Shamsiah herself. I was sitting RIGHT in front of her, talking about the financial system to Iphone. And my plans for the future. In fact, she admits that she speaks more english than BM. Her words: ''My BM sucks!'' O.O
Met some new friends, who have mutual friends with me, and also met up with Ayin, whom I worked with 3 years ago!! So I was excited altogether. =)
 Group Picture outside Cafe Kasturi.
After that, it was time to go home to Canberra. Took a joint car and went home...reached home about 2am in the morning and slept at 3am. =/
Oh and not forgetting my souvenirs from Sydney! 
 hehe. I'm blissful! =)
Then! Woke up at close to 1pm. And it was time to go to MSO AGM! Gah, we would be stepping down already! ><
 Yeam accepting his token of appreciation from all of us! ^^
 We MSO are scandalous!
 and vain. =)
Sigh. Good memories. =) |

| Pantsy |
This would be my very last entry in 3 days. I don't think I've got the time to upload anything in Sydney. So going to be a random one for the sake of updating haha!
Anyway you know those corporate slacks? The one I had since 2006 finally gave up on my recent ''outburst'', so I had to get a new one, for the interview and all.
So went to Ice this morning, since I know I'll get a bargain there that suits my style. Tried many. But this time my fitting is different, my ass is usually size 12, but this time when I tried 12, slacks became too loose, it flairs up too much, and the sleeves were sweeping the floor. Is this a miracle? Maybe I'm gaining mass not weight all this while! So I tried on size 10, gah, hopes dashed, too tight. So I've concluded that my bottom half is a size 11, which is a good thing because I drop half a size, but sadly it is non-existent in Australia. Gah.
Out of desperation, I randomly took two size 12's, 2 for $40, hoping that any alteration shop would do wonders with them.
And when I asked the lady from the shop the cost to just fold one inch up, she told me it's going to cost $21.90 per pants.
$21.90!?!?!?! For one bloody inch?!??!?!?!?!
More expensive than the pants itself.
Of course I didn't say that. I remained my composure and walked off.
Then I headed to Valleygirl, Canberrans would know that it's just next to Ice, found a nice grey top for the dinner and also tried on another slacks, this time it wasn't sweeping as much. So I won't end up looking too lala for my interview. Sigh, so again, out of desperation, swiped my debit card to the glee of the store assistant.
3 pants in 1 hour. lame.
I have not splurged for so long, so made me felt kinda guilty. I rather spend in Sydney or at the new Canberra DFO. But this is emergency so have to lor.
Lalala.
Anyway have fun and I'll see you in a bit, hopefully not with 1k pictures. =) |

| Sydney! |
Reading Jared's post about Sydney made me go all so excited about my trip, though it's going to be more of a business trip. So i decided to blog about it. Heh.
I am so thankful my family friends would accept me on such short notice. I feel so bad making the call. >< And plus the girls would probably be as busy doing assignments and uni work. I'll try to seem invisible. lol. My Sydney itenary will most probably go like this:
Day 1: Wake up extremely early to catch the bus to Sydney, arrive at Sydney, grab a bite, get confused with my map, will call for emergency help, then only finally reach the hotel, put some make up to cover all the bad eyebags (Eli your amazing concealer will be put to use ^^), head to Securities Commission Malaysia interview, *phew* then after interview, meet up with Jo and Jess somewhere in the city, have another quick bite (Ping pei custard mooncake!!! I want i want i want!!)/shopping then go back Aunty Jane's place.
Day 2: Wake up early to either go to the recruitment fair or visit more places to eat. Bubble tea bubble tea!!! Yumm. Then more shopping, it's spring time anyway =) and a little sightseeing at the girl's unis UNSW and UTS. Then call Amanda to say good luck for the elections. Call Lyon and MSO peeps for the election results. Possibly meet up with Sung, we'll go to the Bank Negara Dinner, will try to spill the words MASCA and SPONSORSHIP in one of my conversations with the assistant governor =P, then head back home for some R&R and catching up. =)
Day 3: Probably do more shopping, bring mooncakes/egg tarts back home for distribution. Then take the bus back to Canberra. And back to reality. And back to corp valuation assignment. >< Sigh. Come to think of it. Other than the food part and meeting up with family friends, not very exciting haha. And BTW.
CONGRATULATIONS Lyon for being the next ISD Website Officer!!
Also also,
CONGRATS to my ISD darlings, Didi, Minhua and Shiori for continuing the great legacy. =) *bliss |

| Verdict 2 |
Saw my stats paper. It seems that there was no mistake in my marks. I failed, point blank.
Though I may be dumb, I believe that I am dumber at true/false questions.
I couldn't beat the system.
If I had chosen the other, I'd gotten 4 extra marks, if I had chosen the other in 2 questions, I'd gotten 8 extra marks. Then I would have passed.
I'm heartbroken.
Because the error margin is so big. Unfortunately so, I fell into the trap.
In a way I'm grateful that the exam is redeemable but at the same time, I need to work extra hard because finals is all I've got now.
I've learnt a lesson.
That every decision in life is important.
One wrong move, big consequences.
Big lesson, big time. |

| Verdict |
And the verdict is...I chose the free-dinner-interview.
So instead of coming back at night, I'd forfeit the ticket, and come back to Canberra on Sunday evening instead.
For my future's sake.
I feel it is as if I am not attending my MSO ''graduation''. I hope that rest of the committee members don't hate me though. I feel apologetic enough.
We've been through thick and thin together and yet the one formality that depicts my stepping down from the awesome society, I will be only there in spirit. Ek. I would despise myself if I were them.
I hate choosing sides.
But this is life right?
And this is for a bright future ahead.
To get a reasonable degree then to be employed.
My social life and co-curricular life will have to take the backseat this weekend.
Sigh I was so busy fussing over this issue that macro 2 was left out yesterday. Luckily the guilt factor last week helped me to avoid procrastination for once. Hopefully it'll turn out good later. |

| Invisible Canberra |
I had a call from Bank Negara, and they invited me to go to a buka puasa event at Sydney in conjuction with the GRADUAN fair. Sadly the lady said the event is on the 13th September, and I'd be back from Sydney on the 12th, so it's a no go.
The most interesting part though, is regarding the conversation I had with the lady:
Lady: ''Hello, are you from Sydney?''
Me: ''Erm, no, Canberra''
Lady: ''Huh, in Sydney right, the GRADUAN thing''
Me: ''Oh yes, but I'm residing in Canberra''
Lady: ''Sydney lah''
*speechless for a second*
Me: ''Okay yeah, pretty close by''
=.=
People just don't know where Canberra is do they?
Edited:
Oh crap. I am seriously considering it now. Free dinner-cum-interview session with the Assistant Governor.
And me being at Sydney on the 12th makes it all too tempting to just stay back in Sydney for one more day.
MSO VS Free Dinner?
Gah. I hate it when schedule clashes. ISH!!! |

| Talk about innovation. |
Chicken Laksa Chips!?!? From Aldi apparently. Hah. How did it taste like you wonder? Well I smelt it (I cannot afford to eat chips at the moment, big spare tyres to lose) and it smelt like any other chips. Hmmm.... Lyon said it tasted nothing like advertised, bummer. Hah, maybe it's the angmoh taste of laksa.

| Gulp |
After the much pitiful event yesterday, I decided to spend 7 hours studying macro 2. And gawd, it feels forever, and I still have not finished the two models. They are a pain. T.T
Anyway, interview's next Friday and I still have loads to cover. What questions will they ask? How would I respond? Gee. This is hard.
So I've come up with a few fool-proof questions, just in case.
1. Why do you want to work in SC?
2. What benefits can you bring to SC?
3. What is the most challenging thing you ever face in your life?
4. What is your biggest achievement so far in life?
5. What do you expect to gain from SC?
6. Describe you.
Pretty fool-proof right? But what if they are naturally out to get me?
6. *Interviewer looks at my academic transcript and quips. Explain the pass you got for stochastic.
Errm, ermm, ermmmmm. *speechless*
7. Describe the credit crunch.
8. Describe the Malaysian capital market and state any current issue related to that market.
Things like that. Which given time, I don't think I can provide good and quick answers. I would be in utter shock. And dismay. And open mouthed.
><
Yes, an interview is an experience, good if I succeed, never mind if I don't, but I don't want to feel like I'm stupid or look like I'm dumb or anything; the plan is to act like a smartypants, and not the other way around.
Hah. I've got heaps to do this weekend. |

| What's wrong? |
| Depressed. The one statistics exam that I believe I would do reasonably well, I flunked, badly. There must be some mistake, but I can only check next week. But for now I should hope for the best, and prepare for the worst. If it is what it is, then I better buck up.
And start unscrambling my life. Start to slow down. Go into academic frantic mode. No more nonsense.
Yesterday, I was in a mess. I'd go down history to be the first person crying at Happy's. No wonder the staff was too kind. But today, it's a new beginning. Some good emotional detox was needed indeed.
And I shall never give up. Watch me.
Thanks Lyon, Arjun and Shawn for your company yesterday and for saving me from myself. Before I drown even further. |

| Burlesque |
Few months ago, after SYTYCD Australia had shown on telly what is to become the next big genre of dance, I was instantly hit and mesmerized.
Burlesque. Omigosh. Such a powerful name for such an authoritive genre of dance! Go google it for more descriptions...
I love it! The clothes, the attitude, the feathers and the gloves. Love. It.
I know I have somewhat a kinky side. I love how women are dressed in corsets and feathers, in hues of red and black, my two favourite colour to be sexy. Like Nicole in Moulin Rouge, it's somewhat burlesque and somewhat broadway. I love the seeking attention bit, you know people are watching, and you are enjoying the admiration, the ''oohh'' atmosphere surrounding you. Every woman should feel powerful in their own skin, and these little lacy touches give a little confidence boost.
And please, it's not prostitution or escort. I don't encourage these things. I know some of you dirty guys are thinking otherwise. So let me prove you wrong! Get your dirty thoughts out!
Burlesgue is about visual escapism and enthrallment in the older days, yes, but today, it's about confidence, style, and exploring the saucy nature we all have deep inside. We humans have feelings, intuition, you know that tingling feeling you get sometimes? When you see a good looking girl/guy? It's nature! So don't lie and be all innocent. Embrace it, better in a form of dance! And of course, I don't mean portraying it in front of tens of thousands of people, like the famous Dita von Teese (teasy name =P) who revamp and revived this genre in the 21st century. I mean, for women who want a little kick of self assurance, have a go in your own private space, and make sure no one sees you!
What I like most about this dance is the opportunity for women to feel a sense of belonging and dominance that usually women do not experience. I know all of us women have our low self esteem days, so why not use this dance as a form of exercise for one, let the endophines solve away your worries; best part is you will feel a sense of self-belief, self-love, self-care.
So yes, I may have touched upon a little tinsy controversial topic. But I don't want this to be deemed tainted or anything.
All I'm asking is for women to feel great about themselves and one way is by this form of dance. I hope I rest my case.
This piece is inspired by the upcoming movie ''Make It Happen'', which is going to be released tomorrow at Dendy's. I am so going to be there. Heh. |

| Hectic |
Emotionally, I am in a MESS.
Loads of things to do, all the kanchiongness makes it all worse. So I had my share of PMS breakouts and poor housemate had to endure those episodes. Shucks.
But I'm glad he has received my apology, and now we are in good talking terms.
Anyway.
I have got good news to share. There are many firsts in this matter. I secured an interview with Securities Commission Malaysia for an internship program during the summer break. So it going to be the first internship interview in my whole life. Going to be my first internship should I be selected. Best part is the interview is in Sydney. So yes, I will be embarking on a journey alone for the first time, and after the interview, I have 5 hours of travelling and sightseeing alone for the first time as well.
I know, big steps indeed.
I have never travelled alone before ever, and it should be interesting. My heart was pounding so fast as I hit the reply button to SC, it raced faster as I make payment for my mode of transportation. Gah, what have I put myself into. I thought. My biggest fear in life is loneliness but now I am practically throwing myself into that situation.
There is no one to depend on. But me.
Nevertheless, it should be done. Finally I can see the world on my own, stepping out from my comfort zone, I argued. Even if I spent $50 bucks on transport all the way there, and I don't get the positive call, it's fine. Every experience counts now. Every single one. This is only the beginning. Right? ><
So to prepare for my interview, I have a bet with Lyon. For every ''erm, er, huh, I think, I guess'', every unpleasant gesture I can throw out from my mouth up to the interview day, I will have to burn an extra 5 calories in the next gym session. And I'm already burning 500 calories per session. I am so going to feel worn out.
Which also explains the formality of this post. Better get going. Hah. |
