I'm Back!!!

And sorry for disappearing from my blog for nearly a month. My apologies. Life has a way of getting one wrapped around her finger so tightly it's difficult to pull away for a private moment or two. But I've managed to swindle some time for myself to post in my neglected blog.

So what's been happening? Well lots. Getting back to school was hard at first but after awhile I got back into the swing of things and I started remembering how to thrive in a crazy study environment. I'm surrounded by perfectionists and high achievers. I mean considering how 3/4 of them want to get into medicine, it comes as no surprise because your final score has to be close to perfect. Which is why I'm on 7th Heaven right now because I just got back my 3rd chem test results and I got FULL MARKS again baby!!! Meaning my chemistry score is at a 100% with no loss in mark. I might consider taking up medicine now....haha

So what else has been happening? Well my writing skills are coming back to me. I'm begining to write confidently once again without any hesitation or fear. It's an amazing feeling when your pen touches the paper and you are in utter confidence of what you are writing. The feeling is awesome as any fellow writer would agree.

Other than that, it was a long weekend last week. Started on Friday and ended this Tuesday. It was because of Easter Day and ANZAC day (An Australian and New Zealand holiday). Oh and by the way. I just only recently came to the realisation that New Zealand was bloody close to Australia...I'm such a dimwit.

So for the long holidays, together with my newfound friends here in Melbourne, I went city touring.

First we went to the Melbourne museum:

Then after that, we went down to Federation Square (It's something like Esplanade except smaller). There were tons of outdoor comedy shows because of the International Comedy Festival being held here now. We watched two shows for FREE (that's the Singaporean in me screaming) and then we went to take pictures of graffitti which I must say now is EVERYWHERE. And I mean EVERYWHERE. Melbourne is literally coated with graffiti.

After that, we went down to Lygon street which contains all sorts of Italian restaurants. After 10 minutes of walking around, being promised to be well taken care of by the Italian bosses in true hustler fashion, we chose one of the restuarants. I prayed to the food gods that my dish would be awesome because my taste palettes needed to be whetted. And they answered! My rissoto was heavenly!!! Even after I became full half way through, I kept stuffing another spoonful into my mouth, unable to stop myself XD (And yes I've put on weight.)

After that we decided to go home. But we stumbled upon a quaint rooftop bar near our place and there was a comedy show titled "Dirty Secrets". We just had to watch it. So our night ended with that : )

The next day, we went out to the beach:

This is the Saint Kilda beach. There are other nice pictures. But they're all on facebook....so....you can check them out there : )

So my weekend went awesomely well. I really enjoyed seeing Melbourne from the native's point of view instead of as a tourist. It actually makes a helluva lot of difference because by staying amongst them, you see places and visit places you normally wouldn't if you were staying at a hotel.

And....it's 12.30am here and I'm feeling exceedingly lazy. So I'm gonna go sleep and I'll post soon. I really promise : )

PS: And 19 more days till I can eat fastfood and drink pepsi and coke!!!
