*And so it begins*
Its a new dawn for me.
I have officially completed my studies as a Commerce Undergraduate @ Melbourne University.
All I need now is the ceremony to make it official!
That's been postponed to March since I've my Grade8 vocal exams/family trip in December.
I'm leaving Melbourne in 3days & won't be back till March...
But before then, there's much to look forward to:
Tonight...
Okta is cooking me the yummiest steak ever :D
After which we're going to watch Chicago the Musical and ending the night with a karaoke session with friends!
Tomorrow...
Long-awaited catch up session with a few of my dearest friends.
And to celebrate our month-sary, its a romantic Croatian dinner for two :)
Day after...
A day trip to Mornington/Dandenong (if the weather permits)
Then in the evening, its time to get glam&glitzy for my graduation ball !
Friday...
Its the day I'm departing.
I can't wait to be reunited with my family...:)
OOhhhh and my dad told me that Goldie, my new golden retriever just gave birth yesterday to 2 new pups!!!
*squeals in excitement*
I can't believe my gap year really has begun!
With another 7 months of spontaneity ahead of me,
who knows what this time of exploration might bring?
The journey of a thousand million miles begins with a single step.
I just took my first.

*2 HOURS*
...till my LAST exam as an undergrad student @ Melbourne Uni.
So thus marks the end of my Commerce degree.
I was somehow expecting to feel more...But then again, you never know what to expect until you actually get there.
Its funny how this exam feels no different from the rest.
I'm still feeling the same pre-exam jitters, my tummy is in a gazillion knots, and there's a tingling numbness in my hands/feet.
Maybe its a good thing not to psych myself out & calmly go through the exam like it was any other.
Thank God its marketing & not finance, otherwise I'm sure my nerves would have escalated by ten folds!
"The secret to happiness = low expectations" according to one marketing guru.
Well, I'm not sure about low expectations...
But one can sure hope for the best !
Wish me luck ;) xx.

*Marit Larson*
Ever since I met M2M in 2001 I absolutely loved loved loved her !!!
She was so cutesy & sweet in person too !
I even took a picture with them but it such an unflattering shot of me that I've never shown it to anyone else.
Maybe one day when I'm brave enough to show the world old pics of an ugly duckling me ;p
When I first saw Marion Raven on MTV as a solo artist,
I always wondered what happened to my favourite other half of M2M.
And now I know~
+CLICK+
What's there not to love about her??
Her voice/songs just brings me to a place with rainbows.blueskies.sunshine.
Even Jason Mraz fell under her spell & invited her to tour with him :D
Knowing that we'll be hearing alot more of her just totally made my day~!
(Skips off happily humming...If a song could get me you...*)

*And so my final examination period begins..*
Starting with my finance paper.
The hardest & the one I studied most for...and I could do all the questions if only I was given more time :(
As a result, 10marks just flew out of the equation.
*sighs*
Its tough when you know not,
yet its equally tough when you know...
but the end results equate to you knowing not.
(Forgive my random burst, my brain is acting out by going all philosophical on me >.<)
3 more papers this week.
Somehow it feels like I'm back in high school/college,
when exams were so consecutive you barely have time to complain about faring badly for one when its time to tackle another!
No time to cry over spilled milk.
I've a feeling this week is going to go by in a blink.
...
I can't decide whether its dread or excitement I feel most.!

*Clickety Click*
I was in a photoshoot 2weeks ago :D
But before you jump into conclusions & think that I'm an aspiring model...I wasn't the subject!
*This baby was!*
So here's a sneak peek into our photo session:
*WanXiong, the photographer setting up*
We shot @ Docklands on a Sunday morning.
Thankfully it was deserted save for a few joggers/loading trucks.!
After half an hour of sitting in the car/standing around..
I decided to entertain myself by whipping out my very own handy cam ;)
Who says photography is only for proffessionals? hehe*
So here's my first attempt at being creative:
*A close up of his camera lens..& if you look closely, you'll spot the 3 of us!*
I liked the effect of mirror images & started taking reflective shots.
WanXiong thought it was a cool idea too !
Here's his version:
*Candid*
Before we wrapped up...
*I couldn't resist a self shot* ;p
*And attempted to convert my bf into a camwhore too*teehee
Sigh.
I miss having fun, carefree weekends.
My exams are in less than a week...All 4 of them!!!
I so terrified that I actually dreamed that I finished my exams and am back in KL.!
>.<
Dear God,
Pleaseee let me do well~!

*Last Day on Earth-Kate Miller*
I have been hooked on this song ever since I heard it on the radio.
For those of you who don't know this song, go have a listen!
I was never a fan of melancholic songs, but there is a paradoxical sense of love&peace in this beautiful tune...
"Your living is determined not so much by what life brings you as by the attitude you bring to life."
*With love <3

*Hungry I am*
I am on a 3day detox .
(ie. nothing but fruits & salad)
And it is pure TORTURE !!!
Especially when I'm sitting in a restaurant full of aromatic dishes & eye-catching desserts :(
Okta was sweet enough to endure 1day of torture with me :)
I was actually really amazed he was able to withstand a day without meat & didn't collapse altogether !!!
Day 1 was most unbearable - I was so weak till I felt light-headed. My stomach was growling incessantly due to the zero-carb intake the entire day!
All I wanted to do was lie down...but apparently the BEST time to burn fats is when I'm at my weakest -.-"
So off to the city we went for a lonnnnggg walk ! Went to bed at 9-30pm like an old lady.
Day 2 was a lil' better - I re-introduced carbs into my diet (only for bfast) ie.a quarter bowl of oats & half a slice of toast.
Was able to function normally...until the clock striked 9! Realized that I'm an early Cinderella.
Day 3 hurry up already...Can't wait to get this over & done with! My stomach needs its some proper gratification.
Realized I'm never (ok, never say never but...NEVER) going to become a vegan.
EVER.
*Goes to bed dreaming of foie gras, escargot & seafood bisque.......*
drools happily :D

*In denial no more..*
I was still in a bliss of unawareness (or at least pretending to be) that I would officially be completing my studies in a week.
Until this came for me...
*ITS MY GRADUATION PARTY!!!*
My flight back to KL was initially booked on Nov 24th.
BUT I've decided to stay on for my Grad Ball !
Despite having to pay a ridiculous fee of AUD200 & having only 4days left till my Grd8 vocal exams,
It is afterall a once in a lifetime event which I think I would regret missing.
SO having said that...
What's next for this fresh graduate.?
A 6MONTH BREAK :D
At least, that's my current plan & what I've deduced from the many MANY advices I've received!
Guess its time for me to throw myself into activities I love/been wanting to do but have yet the chance to:
1. Finish recording
2. Complete a Japanese course
3. Learn to dance Latin
4. Read all unfinished classics (Yes, I plan to get reacquainted with my bookworm self!)
5. Give the entertainment industry a shot
*A whole world of possibilities and opportunities await :)
