As promised, I'll list down all the bad news I had in this past weeks. Honest to god, these few weeks has been the most farcical and turbulent weeks I had in years!
It started on the day when I got my final MBA results.. It ain't pleasant. I do not care what others say but I do set a high standard for myself. To get two Credits is just plain disappointment. It brought my WAM all the way down to another grade! That's how devastating it is. Then my dearest homie's result came out similar to mine too and SHE got disappointed as well. Blah!! To make matters worse, on that bloody same day, we found out that we are required to vacate our lovely homey apartment, the one we are thankful for each single day, within two months time coz the landlord decides to sell his house. Otherwise, we'll get served. Geez... This is my third house already and it obviously does not contribute to my homesickness at all if I keep hopping from one to another like a bunny!
Then I received a letter from Auz Fed Police that states that my application for a police check is unsuccessful coz I paid the wrong amount! Silly me... Idiot really. That's $34 vanishing into thin air (or at least I thought so at the time) and another two weeks of waiting time.
As we begin to search for a new apartment, we realises that the market rent had increased! From $350 per week to $380! And you even get a smaller unit... That's a whole lot of difference dude! Its $1,560 extra a year! For an unemployed graduate like myself, its like holding hell in a hand-basket.
On top of that, I've been hit with the reality that my Uni's completion letter & transcript would take at least a month to be finalised. Now.. the problem is, I can't even begin to apply for a residency without those documents. Plus, I can't apply for jobs without proof that I'm applying for residency. Its a causal effect, yes.
Other negative news were like.. my cousin have bad news that she yet to share with me, my previous office is in a hiccup and I've to attend an IELTS course to improve my writing (more expenses!!). Yeap. It's been a roller coaster ride. I suppose I'll just keep hogging my blog to improve myself and hopefully reflect those little advancements in the next IELTS test.
Oh, but it wasn't ALL bad news. This week we had a bucket of sunshine thrown to us. And I'll simply need to address that in the next post to create more suspense. Hehhe!! Ciaoz~

Final trimester holiday!
So my mom went back a couple of weeks ago. I admit, I did had teary eyes.. after four weeks with her that turned out to be miraculously amazing, I was reluctant to let her go. My dad would obviously think otherwise. I did write her this sweet letter on the day she left and hope it would be able to convey what I felt inside. I love my mom. Having her here made this place bearable and made me believe that everything will be fine. Don’t wanna be melodramatic and all but yes, I do have occasional home sickness.
Anyway, soon after Mom left for home, my dearest cousin Su Wei came to visit. Although I did not have a good quiet time with her to pour our heart to each other but overall, it is rather pleasant. We had lots to eat and I even brought her shopping, an act I rarely practice myself. I always wished she would stay in Melbourne. How nice would that be! We can have weekend dinner together and I can only imagine all those fun we could have! Sigh.. In fact, I had a confession to make… I actually discreetly wished she would not do well in her exams only so that she would stay longer in Auz. I know… shame on me. I am being such a selfish biatch.
Life after Su Wei left me for Adelaide was quite volatile actually.. everything seems to tumble down in New York minutes although there were glimpses of light somewhere in the middle. Zooming past those negative stuff (I promise to spill the nitty gritty once I get it all sorted) I’ll share my good, positive news. First of all, we got an all free tour to Yarra Valley from dear Billy. Hehee.. It was amazing. I personally bought a bottle of Moscato and Cabernet. I honestly wish to keep the Moscato till Mom’s visit in October. She loves that dessert wine as I do. Then, I manage to pass all my papers.. PASS.. not excel. And lastly, I got news that one of my paper will be publish!! Oh yeah!!! Really unexpected and I have all my assignment members to thank for. Though my lecturer might argues that we still need a lot of improvements but nevertheless, we got publish!! Muahahhaha! A good ending to this blog post. =)
