Last trimester!

Work had been exhausting. I know I should not complain considering the hefty wages that they are generously paying me but seriously.. Auditing was tiring but this is a whole different thing. When I was in Audit, I was just a small potato. Its not like I am a big potato now, but just that I had to make more decisions and most of this decisions has ripple effects! But in any case I still like the job, especially when I get to make a video out of it in the coming week. Muahahhaa!!

Studies were even worse!! Bloody effing 13 assessments in a trimester. With online test, financial reports and an aim to publish my group’s journal! I’m speechless. I am so scared and fearful of my studies that I am starting to study in Week 2. Not to mention starting my assignment as well. I go to uni every single day at 8 am and comes back around 6 pm.. On Tuesday, I come home at 9 pm. What is happening to my honey-moon-and-totally-easy-student-life? Sigh... Oh oh!! Its not entirely bad news though. For my last trimester, I got a HD in my HRM!! I know for some folks out there it is an easy thing but trust me when I say that this HD was hard earned and entirely relied on my good karmas. Thank you Buddha!

The house is also an issue. Had been packed! Let’s leave it at that. =)

AND THEN.. there is this job application thing. I had been applying to Graduate Programs around the Big 4 for a week now. Aiming for Audit again.. I know a lot of my friends would say that I am crazy (including my sceptical boyfriend) but I cannot help it. Audit is my passion! At least for this few years. Do not ask why I love Audit coz I am not sure myself. I just felt happy auditing firms. Crazy eh? Anyway, this ‘filling up application thing’ and almost ‘begging to be hired’ is so stressful. Of course, the awareness that I am after all a foreigner here is not making it any easier. Sometimes it made me wonder that wouldn’t it be so much more easier if I just go straight back to Malaysia? But... one can’t give up without trying right?

And finally!! One of my favourite Darlings (you know who you are) is getting married! Yeap!! She’s finally tying the knots!!! I’m so absolutely happy for her. Although I did dropped a tear (or ten..) when I heard the news, I am really happy for her. HONEST!! Her fiancée is undoubtedly a loving one and he treasures her to bits. So I wish them the best of married life and may the fiancée allows me see my Darling when I am back in Malaysia.

See ya next time!!

Under the stars

As we reach the roof top, there are already rows of beach seats nicely arranged facing the stage while the sounds of waves crushing the beach and the heated game of volleyball is still audible. As the ‘egg yolk’ slowly sinks into the horizon, the band starts to play some of their signature songs. Eventually, the sounds from the beach fade away and replaced by the intriguing beats that moves our body.

Right in front of us is this huge white screen that shaped like a TV and far back is a stall selling nothing but the usual alcoholic drinks.

By 9 pm onwards, the seats are all filled up and the host went on stage to brief us on emergency exits, toilets and switching off the cellphone. As soon as that is over, the movie finally started. With the tiny stars shining above and sea gulls flying around causing a ‘shooting star’ effect, it was indeed a nice romantic evening to spent with my Honey. Though the temperature was a ridiculous 10C for summer and the seats are so far apart that snuggling was impossible, it was still absolutely sweet.

And yeap, I’m talking about the Open Air Cinema in St.Kilda. Definitely one of the attractions to try when you are in Melbourne.
