$2.99 frozen burger? Pass!

From Melbourne AMTA Conference/ Sightseeing

So I'm back from Melbourne and it's been so long since I actually sat down at my pc and wrote a proper entry. I find myself wondering what on earth happened the past two weeks that led to such a severe deprivation of sleep that my head was pounding the whole of Tuesday.

It really didn't help that I had a presentation to do that Tuesday and no surprise, many things went wrong while I was preparing for it.

From Weeks 40-43, 2010

When I got my marks back, my lecturer had drawn scribbles, black holes and wrote some cryptic message on my paper. And I got a crap mark, but at least I know he didn't draw those scribbles during my presentation- I saw him draw them during the presentation after me.

Fast Burger, ready in 2.5 mins!

So I typed out an entry this morning and deleted it myself. It wasn't posting the photo for me, but now it's fixed.

On the way home from placement. Another week gone, and i'm officially half way through my 640 hours placement! Yayyyy. Haven't blogged for ages despite coming back from Melbourne for a week already, but when one gets thrown straight back to work right after a 'holiday', it's like catching up with 5 days' worth of workload.

Anyway, dinner from two nights ago at work. Frozen burger that comes with a special heating tray that promises a crispy base. True to its words, the bottom bun was anything but soggy and it actually tasted pretty good for a microwaved burger.

Full review of burger and a proper update sometime soon hopefully!

Melbourne China Town

Realised that I'm actually staying in the heart of Melbourne, just a minute's walk away from China Town.

After leaving luggages at the hotel, it's time for a late breakfast. Since my friends are from Hong Kong and we're at China Town, it's yum cha!

I feel like transferring to Melbourne Uni now, haha. The transport system is so much better! But yes... must watch out for trams... they don't follow traffic lights.

Kuwa-san

It's Monday morning and I nearly forgot that I have placement today... Breakfast! at a regular cafe in Strathfield. I usually have plain croissants, but this ham and cheese one is not bad at all.

This should be... the second Breakfast! entry from this new phone I think, and so far so good, am liking this phone more and more. With mahjong and chess and some random rpg Japanese game installed, I no longer dread long waits for public transport! Technology does make people more patient in some aspects afterall.

Only thing that really annoyed me is vodafone. I must have tried to cancel my old account a million times and carry my old number over to my new plan a zillion times, through the phone and even in person. Didn't help that I only managed to get through being put on hold twice and being told, twice, that it'd be fixed within 3 hours. Lies. It's so strange that vodafone only allows cancellation of accounts and plans through a phonecall to customer care rather than in person. Automated voices and pop music that they feed your ears while on hold have become my nemesis.

Chef's Gallery- Mains 1

Crazy crazy weeks, and I foresee it getting worse. Assignments have not hit me fully in the face yet, but it surely will after my Melbourne trip. First trip to Melbourne, and I haven't even had the time to properly sit down to plan and get all excited about it. It's going to be: Mon- work, Tues- uni full day, Wed- placement full day, Thurs- placement full day, Fri morning bright and early, flying off. And when I get back, assignments are due. It's like a lose-lose situation, might have to resort to doing assignments in Melbourne... noooo.

One thing I'm definitely looking forward to is Tim Burton's exhibition. Must. See. It.

Xperia X10 mini pro!

This is my first entry from the new phone. Loving the qwerty keyboard! It's funny how my brother decided to get the exact same phone when he had a play with it the day it arrived in the post. He came into room and said he got the exact same phone and then asked if I wanted my lights off.

Funny icie..

This is my first 'smart' phone, so I don't really know how to use it well. Was at first disappointed that I couldn't even blog because there's so few options in the camera software in the phone, it couldn't even put the word 'Breakfast!' on the picture.

That's what aps are for. Phone noob... Time to eat some duck pate.

Breakfast!

This may well be my last Breakfast! entry using this phone. Been using my own tumbler at cafes like Starbucks and Gloria Jeans, so I've saved a few paper cups. Except last time at Starbucks, they messed my order up and gave me black English Breakfast tea with a shot of coffee rather than EB tea latte. It tasted rather foul, so I had to ask for a cup of milk to make my own latte. They gave the milk to me in a paper cup..

Had plenty of sleep last night, but I hate how the bed seems most comfortable when you just have to wake up.
