zuanqing extraordinaire

Whew! It's been a while since my last post here. I see cobwebs everywhere haha. So I've had my first semester of school done and completed. Results came out last week and I am super pleased to announce that I am a …. *drumroll* first class honors student! Haha. Managed to get H1s for all my four subjects - and that's equivalent to first class honors. Never imagined myself to be doing so well but I guess the hard work and effort I've put into attending every single class, always trying to contribute in classes, and the tremendous amount of research I do for all my essays have paid off. Of course I cannot forget about the support and love I received from my beloved friends who have been encouraging me and praying for me unceasingly. So much love there I can't even. x

Happily on winter break now and had a super smashing vacay with my dearest and closest who specially planned a surprise trip to Melbourne for my birthday. Well, it WAS meant to be a surprise till I spoilt it by booking air tix home for the holiday right after they booked their tix to Melbourne. So frantic were they to find out their I was planning to extend my stay in sg that they spilled everything to me when we met up in sg and thus I decided to fly back earlier than planned so that we would all be in Melbs at the same time when they arrive. How sweet are these friends! I feel so supremely blessed and undeserving and I thank God for them and their unconditional love towards me.

That said, we had an awesome 9.5 days together traveling around Melbs, Tassie and ending the trip in Sydney. Since I am on holiday now and super free (been doing nothing but sleep, eat, and marathon-ing Masterchef online - how can a cooking show be so exciting and emotional!?) I have decided to revive this dusty blog with my Oz adventures I had with some of my best friends.

To kick it off, here's a video I compiled of the memorable times we had over the 9.5 days. I hope you enjoy it (whoever you are)!

True to my promise, I am back to blog!

I hope my reward comes in the form of more viewership ahahaha.

Anyways here's some on my 4th day in London.

After which Weijie had this abrupt craving for durians and we went to this really atas durian place at Still Road. It has indoor seating with aircon and even a Christmas tree inside!! Like most atas durian stall ever.

That's all from me for now. Till the next!

So a few months back Ms Soh jio-ed us all to buy this Groupon voucher for a $25 dimsum buffet at Ah Yat Seafood and we did. Reservations were made and 6 of us went for the buffet last Sat - myself, ah tan, Ms Soh + her SO Zhiyuan, Jui and Sarah.

Since it was a buffet, and I am very bad at buffets (i.e. my stomach capacity is totally not worth it for buffets) I declared that I had to eat at least $25 worth of food before I call it a day. I stopped counting after my first bowl of porridge though haha. But I was really super stuffed after that so I do hope whatever went into my tummy was worth $25.

Anyway, here's what we ate! (photos credit to ah tan cos I forgot to bring my camera out zzz)
