Went out for dinner at Pacific Cafe for roasted meats with Lionel, Dominique and SY. Came back in time to see that Scholar's Dinner was just over, and found out Heng Lin got the Sundarason award. Congratulations!! Should've tried out for the scholarships, since i'm a 'well-rounded' person hehe.

One more mid-sem exam to go, and then I can relax for a wee bit until Introductory Econometrics assignment comes in!! Cafe is in two weeks, and the acts I'm in are not even remotely perfect yet. Not telling what I'm in yet :P but you'll all know soon enough. Thankfully Raffle is going well. Despite my concerns about the lack of prizes before Easter the parents have been really supportive and donated stuff. It's nice to know despite all my stumblings Raffle is doing fine, and even Vong said it looks okay (but he isn't in IH anymore, so he wouldn't know much, anyway). Anyway, support us by buying a Raffle ticket!! The prizes are awesomely good (hehe of course, personally went with Yi Jien to pick them out, and thanks to the shop managers and staff for their help!!) Hopefully there'll be no more hiccups on the way, and then I can breathe easy once I start calculating the profit >3

Have to apply for internships soon, and fast. Crossing my fingers in the hope that I fit what the companies are looking for!

Had noodles in spicy tomato sauce and honey soy chicken! What a difference from IH's constant beef dinners.

Currently, it is Easter and I am staying at a friend's place near Queen Vic Market. My friend seems to live on sunshine and air and sushi, while I eat at least two big meals a day. Man, I feel like a pig (oink!) I planned my meals and bought the foodstuff I need already, and 3 of my meals are going to be sponsored by IH, since I'm doing my 9 hour self help there in the kitchen.

Easter is really fun here, with chocolate bunnies and eggs. And free chocolate! I've been getting choc eggs which is really cool. Easter is a really welcome break from uni too. I've been burning out over the weeks, what with the assignments, Cafe and uni hours and extra tutorials. For the first time since arriving in Melbourne, I shopped the whole day yesterday. There's bargain sales all over as the stimulus payments are received and the retailers tempt people to spend.

I spent friday and saturday of the easter break slacking off. I had lunch with my girl friends in Lygon at Taste of Asia (not bad for malaysian food), and while walking back through uni, saw Emir's friends, Nathan and the other guy (forgot his name, although I talked to him alot), which I then walked back to IH with, since they were going to visit him :P Hanged around in the common areas, then went for dinner at Lygon again with Emir, Nathan and the Other Guy, and Vong, whom we met up with in Lygon. This time, MyCube Cafe, which serves good malaysian food, like ramli burgers and chau tau kuay. Then, back to IH to play Guitar Hero on the wii.
Saturday, cleaned up my room and moved out, and had dinner at Rose Garden, where they served up their famous Spicy Chicken Ribs (chiu ying kai fan). Smacking good.

The rest of this week will see me trying to study for my mid semesters, as well as bake my jam tarts, using my home made jam ^_^ Also will be doing my self help in one shot, and doing my assignments. WHY DOES THERE HAVE TO BE EXAMS AFTER EASTER????
