Dear Pink Bloggie

I have not been posting any entries ever since Hui Wen's Birthday gathering. It seems like everyone is so busy with their upcoming school semster. As for myself, I still have to wait for another half a year before I'm on my way to Australia. I could have gone there earlier. All thanks to my mum who insisted on me going to a local university. Luckily, daddy was supportive. He thinks that it is time for me to lead a more independent life instead of relying everything on themselves. I was somehow caught in between my mum and dad. Finally, mum is willing to let me go:) I had no choice but to opt for semster 1 2010.

That day, I was passing by Isetan and I saw a very nice dessert restaurant called Canele, somewhere near shaw centre. The kind of desserts they serve there is exquisitely unique and beautiful. I really want to go with my mum so that she can pay for my bill. Haha..;):) I think those who have seen this entry should check out http://www.canele.com.sg/ because the strawberry short cake looks really delicious and yummy. There are chocolates and macarons too:) I just love macarons;):) I can't wait to have a taste of everything that are being sold at Canele. I have also checked online about its review. There are both negative and positive ones. However, most people who have been there gave pretty good critics. It's worth the money:):)

Also, Ion Orchard was officially opened on 21 July 2009. I have not been there yet;) I would really love to check out this new shopping mall very soon:) I heard from others that there are lots of boutiques in Ion Orchard. I would really want to check it out for my mum because we both love shopping. Haha:):)

Hui Wen's Birthday at Essential Brew

Dear Pink Bloggie

The night in 17 July 2009 is a special and memorable night. A girl named Hui Wen is celebrating her belated 19th birthday with all of her friends. I really had so much fun with all my girls. I have always wanted to vist Essential Brew because it received good critics from the local media. I would definitely want to recommend this restaurant to those who are thinking of hanging out with their friends. The ambience is just excellent.

Their food is yummy too. I ordered the Earl's Grey Steak dinner set meal. Soup of the day is Cream of Mushroom:) One of my favourite soup. I ordered summer peach as my choice of drink. The Steak tastes nice and chewy. Summer peach is fragant too. When I took my first sip of the drink, I could taste a bit of flower scent. It is just delicious. I just love summer peach. Brenda ordered a salmon set. I also like Cranberry Lustre ordered by Brenda. It tasted sour and sweet. Bee Teng and Hui Wen both ordered Cajun Dory fish set. Karen ordered Dory Fish cream pasta. Jean ordered salmon pasta. I am amazed at the way Karen eats. She puts sooooooo much Tobasco sauce such that the cream pasta tasted very sour. She really has a very strong taste when it comes to food:)

After hanging out at Essential Brew, we were thinking of going to 2 am dessert bar. After much discussions, we went to a bar at Holland Village. Bars at Holland Village are filled with Caucasians. Is the bar called Tapas wine Bistro? I can't remember. This is my first experience at a bar and it was great. Karen ordered Archer's Peach. Brenda ordered some lime alcoholic drink. Hui Wen ordered Tequilla. As for me, I don't have the intention to order any alcoholic drinks. However, I was tempted to order one so I chose Lychee Liquor. Initially, I want to drink Lychee Martini but I couldn't find it. I only found Lychee Liquor. Brenda's drink is not that strong. I could only taste a bit of the alcohol. Karen's Archer Peach is nice because I could finally taste the alcohol content inside:) As for Hui Wen's Tequilla, it was just too strong for me. I could not stand it. As for my drink, I think Lychee Liquor is just right for me. Karen also ordred another glass of white wine, I suppose? I tasted the wine but I still prefer red wine because the taste is stronger.

I thought I will resist alcoholic drinks but I had a fun time drinking my Lychee Liquor. All thanks to my mum who trains me when I turned 18 years old. Whenever my mum drinks, she would ask me to accompany her to have a sip. The same goes to my Uncle. Whenever I was holidaying in Xi An, China, he would always ask me to have a sip of the Chinese Wine. Frankly speaking, I hated it becuse the alcohol content is just too high, even higher than Vodka. Chinese Wine such as Mao Tai can have 5o% of alcohol in it:) As time goes by, my ability to tolerate alcoholic drinks perhaps have increased:):)

If there are chances for me to enter a bar again, I would like to try funny cocktail drinks such as "Sex On the Beach" and "Singapore Sling". After hanging out at the bar, it's time to head home. I must say I was really enjoying myself on a Friday night:):)

Hanging out with Kejia:)

Dear Pink Bloggie

On 17 July 2009, it has been an absolutely fun day for me:). After staying at home for many days, I finally get the chance to go out with all my girls:) In the morning, me and Kejia went to Jurong Point for lunch. We ate Ichiban Sushi at the Japanese Food Street. The Sushi were yummy so was the Barbeque Chicken set too. We chatted all sorts of stuff from school to celebrity gossips. I was enjoying the chat because we have not been seeing each other for quite a long time. I really had a great time trying to catch up with her. After having our meals at the Ichiban Sushi restaurant, our stomachs were bloated. Time is still early so I suggested watching the movie, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

The movie is nice and entertaining. I noticed that there seemed to be more darkness filled as compared to the last five episodes. The Death Eaters were scary! Although it is entertaining, there are a few certain scenes that I don't quite understand. After talking to Hui Wen at night about Harry Potter, all my questions were answered. The reason as to why I seem puzzled is because I have stopped reading Harry Potter after season five. Hence, I am confused about a few scenes. I think it is a pity that Dumbeldore has died because he is like an umbrella to Harry Potter, shielding and guiding him throughout his encounters with Lord Voldermort. Professor Snape is so evil. He gained Dumbledore's trust and killed him in the end. How sad...

After watching movie, Kejia and I went our separate ways. She is going to attend an orientation at SMU. I am going to attend Hui Wen's Birthday gathering. I really had so much fun hanging out with all my girls. I shall write more about the gathering in my next blog post:)

Dear Pink Bloggie

I'm just so bored staying at home all day and studying IELTS test:) It's just so boring because I'm doing the same stuff all the time:( I really wanna go out and have some fun:) Just I'm feeling bored at home, I received a piece of good news from Karen ie our girl gang is gonna celebrating Hui Wen's birthday this coming friday:) I finally get the chance to eat as well as catch up with all my friends:):) I also received news from Karen that I will be taking over one of her students for tuition. I have never ever given tuition to any students so far. However, I really hope I can do a good job in coaching this new student whom I have never met before. Karen says she is easy to coach. I guess it will not be a big problem?

I have received another instant message from Xiao Hua on MSN messenger. I wonder how's she adapting to her new environment. Next year, it shall be my turn to attend those preparation classes and Orientation. I can't wait for school to start next year. I must make use of my full four months left. Maybe, I should learn driving after my IELTS test? Also, I need to read up books about the fundamentals of commerce and other related information:) I must get myself prepared before school term starts next year:) I shall not waste my second half the year 2009:):)

Double Degree???

Dear Pink Bloggie

I have heard from Xiao Hua that everyone can actually take up a double degree in UQ:) It's cool!!! Being able to have a double degree increases your competitvity and employability in the corporate world. I will be taking the Bachelor Of Commerce in UQ:) Under the accounting major, there is corporation law and other stuff. Maybe, I should take up law as a second degree? Of course, I need to meet the requirements for the double degree ie Bachelor Of Commerce/Law. If I'm not eligible for the Commerce/Law degree, I may choose Commerce/Business Management or Commerce/Economics or Commerce/Science. I think I shall find out more about double degrees when I'm in Brisbane next year. I strongly encourage Xiao Hua to take up a second degree:) I think she definitely will:) Anyway, I still wanna thank Xiao Hua for givimg me a piece of important advice. Lastly, I can't wait for school to start:)

What am I thinking???:)

Dear Pinky Bloggie,

This is my third day using my Pink Bloggie:) I spent quite a long time figuring out all those Html code:( So troublesome.. I gues I'm almost 80% done:) The last part is to add all my close friends by linking to their blogs:):) I definitely need their urls!:)

University Of Melbourne and University of New South Wales have both given me offers but I still choose University of Queensland:) I'm just so elated to receive an unconditional offer from them. School is going to start on Semster 1, year 2010:) I think I'm just so fortunate being able to go overseas and experience a different life. I know it may be hard at first because I'm a person who relies a lot on my parents. But I know that I will not be facing this alone cos I still have my close friend, Xiao Hua with me. I think we will encourage each other throughout the four years in UQ.

One thing I regret the most is that I can't accompany my friend to UQ this upcoming semster 2009. I should have registered for an Aussie Uni earlier, say March? That's alright though because I would have plenty of time to make those preparations. There are just so much things to do. Health Check-up which I feared the most. Student Visa, accomodation, booking of air tickets and arranging my arrivals:) There are just too much tasks to be compeleted.

Also, I still have to take an IELTS test which I don't have to take in the first place. No choice, I paid $300 for the test. I have to do it well and pass with flying colours:) My goal is to achieve at least an overall band of 7. If not, I will be wasting my money:) Think I will stop writing for today:) Will update again whenever I like:) hehe...:)

New to blog Part 2

This is my second day using the blog:) I'm still trying to figure out the Html stuff:) I hope my template will finish by the end of this week. There is one thing I don't understand. Why do i need the Html code just to change a blogskin? So troublesome. I really hope I can figure out this Html code really soon:):)

New to Blog

I have just registered for a blog:) I'm new to this blogging thinggy:) I realise that since I'm going to Australia in the year 2010:) It's the best thing to have a blog so as to keep in touch with my family and friends. I shall use this blog to keep them informed of my daily activities and feelings:) I'm not sure if I will blog frequently but I will try my best:)
