Mi amigos, I'm back!
Hiatus : Over! Melbourne was
GREAT, and the little excursion to Sydney was
FUN!
Flying
Qantas during turbulence was like riding a roller coaster XD
And you know what? I'm happy with my results! Well, I was kinda disappointed at first, one reason being I fell a little short of my TER 85 goal, gaining a TER of 84.05. And falling sick during the bloody English exam. But.... everyone else seems to be overjoyed I did alright in my Math and exceeded the fore casted grade (and expectations) for accounting AND apparently got a higher TER than they expected, that the marginal difference didn't matter anymore. I'm at peace.
Feels good to know that you've made people happy and proud of you.
I did loads of things, including
- Visiting the Sydney Opera House, this time spending more time there
- Going for a lovely ferry ride across the Darling Habour, Sydney
- Going into the private rooms of two casinos - Crown's Mahogany Room and Star City's Endeavour Room
- I sat for and aced the test to obtain an RSA (Responsible Serving of Alcohol) certificate... which means I can sell/serve alcohol in the state of Victoria XD
- Boxing Day Sale shopping! I morph into a shopper in Australia whilst hating shopping back here in Malaysia
- Getting to know Melbourne's CBD... I've got a good idea where everything of importance is
- Spending time in my relatives' bottle shop.... fun!
- Rediscovering and falling in love with the maritime and Japanese aspect of Sydney
- Knowing that my relatives care enough to worry when I've been out on my own for 4 hours
- Lol.... finding out that a bottle shop's a hot place to get asked out... I received two requests
- Finding myself again... I swear, every trip to Australia's like a pilgrimage for the soul
- Loads more.... XD
My Christmas presents were GREAT too. A Nintendo DS + Zelda:Legend of the Phantom Hourglass (2007's most awesome game for the DS) included ^^
I've got a few perfumes, lippies and chocolates as well.
The end of this post is near, and therefore... farewell for now =)
Was so exciting to see all the Qantas jets lined up in a row XD
Star City's main Christmas piece. Everything looks so nicely snow-ish, and do note the absolutely adorable kangaroo sleigh at the bottom right =)
