Budget Meals!

So looking at the blogs that I usually visit and at some of the Buzz! that friends have been putting up, I realise there has been a trend going on. Most of the meals tend to side with the upper end that cost over.. hm... $50 per person. I guess $50 can't be considered much, since a lot of restaurants can cost from $100 up. Per Person. For a meal.

Not that it's a bad thing, since most of my friends are already working and have a stable career (boohoo, I'm still not even sure what I'm going to do after completing Masters. This course guarantees that I'll be poor my entire life, haha), but I'm a poor student who works part time at a dodgy supermarket. I'm stuck saving up for overseas trips, first to HK to renew my ID card (it expired many many many years ago) and to Singapore for my sister's wedding dinner.

Which means I haven't been able to have good meals for a long time. Wait wait, I take that back. I've had PLENTY of good meals, just not expensive ones.... in other words, BUDGET meals!

Post Completion of First Year!

Sooo... (it's actually an impulse to start my entries with "so". I've been stopping myself each time so the entries don't all start with "so", but I gave in during the last entry. Shall exaggerate it this week just for the fun of it~) my auntie and uncle- real ones, as in blood related ones, are over for the night and they were sitting behind me the whole time I was processing my photos. Then my auntie asked me why I'm not doing my homework, or practicing my piano.... orz.

I'm awaiting my results now, but I suspect I won't do as well as first semester. It's going to be a decline from now. There's a pattern actually. Seconds years never do as well as first years. It's a fact, at least in my course. Judging from some of the first years that will be entering next year (namely some geniuses), we'll be... well... out of the picture. =(

Rather than thinking about next year's uni, I guess it'd be good to think about the three months of holidays starting... well, now!

The End

So it's the end of a semester, a year at uni, and half my degree over. Nearly the end of the year, and almost the end of 2010. With mum nagging my brother to tidy up his space and him being rebellious, Christmas tree will be up soon too. Christmas... oh gosh, it's that time of the year already! Where on earth did my 2010 go??

Blog has been neglected for about two weeks, my apologies. Lots contributed to its lack of updates actually- with uni work overload, practicing for skills test, then my keyboard all glam'd up with keyboard stickers decided to die on me... so now I'm using this boring all-black keyboard =( It just feels different without those stickers! This keyboard even sounds different =(

Jk. With all that whinging aside, it's time for some serious catching up. Here's a speed entry!

Outdated Post

Lack of updates due to the massive amounts of uni work. It's that time of the year when everything is due, there are exams to study for... and skills test to practice for. I've been avoiding that skills test preparation for days now, and it's this Thursday. Still avoiding by blogging, haha.

It's unfortunate, but I haven't been OUT recently. By "out", I mean to eat and enjoy new food, etc. Of course, there's always the whole backlog of entries to write about, especially Sugar Hit, which has become history already, and probably forgotten by the time I post it up. Believe it or not, I've been spending more time coped up in my room, sitting on the floor (getting a sore back from it too...) writing assignments, reading, preparing presentations, etc, than anything else. Including work *shock horror, L hasn't been going to work!*

This blog has also been neglected and shall remain so till the end of next week. No, make it week after.

For now, have an ice-cold Starbucks frappucino from Texas.
