ps : i heart you ♥

Hello lovelies! I am in a somewhat not so excited/excited mode because I still have 5 days of exams torture but at the same time super excited that I am 5 days away from being home!

5 days to seeing all the love ones back home!!

...my favourite boy
...mummy dearest
...the old folks whom I truly miss and want to spend more time with
...the cousins/aunties/uncles and little J boy
...the girlfriends
...and the closest friends
...lastly, the glorious gloriousssss FOOD!!

In 5 days, I'll be free from feeling like I currently do whilst reading lecture notes on Network Security.

I have my bag more than halfway packed already because I got bored in between of studying and just simply needed a break from all of it. What's better than packing and putting outfits and styles in your head and imagining what you would want to wear and fold them nicely and lay them in the suitcase! I have all of these outfit ideas floating around in my head!! :DDD

I even have the whole entire Pangkor vacay outfits and stuffs packed and thought of nicely already!! It will be happening next Friday! AWESOMEEEEEE!! I can't wait!! Can't wait for a getaway with the close friends and the boyfriend~!! WHEEEE~~~

Now my mind is wandering off to the good parts of holidays when actually, I shouldn't yet.. ))): Exams are still going on.. BOO to exams!! There still is 8 more terrible and scary subjects coming in the near future. I dread you, exams! I dread everything about you!!

One minute I can be so happy from the idea of going home and the next, I could be so demotivated and so down over the fact that I still have two more papers left.. And did I mention that they are CRAZY PAPERS?!?!!

God, help me through it. I don't want nor need anything fancy or colourful. I just need a simple pass through. That's it. And when I am done, I could just bid it goodbye and never have to look back. Thank you God.

Now, back to lecture notes and tutorial questions! Wish me luck peeps and goodbye!

Love,
Shereena.

Ellooo!

I am suppose to be in the middle of my revision of lecture notes and tutorial questions but I am taking a slight break for now till after dinner to have a little update.

My first paper was great! Italian has become my forte :D Well.. Introduction to Italian. Not the advanced kind. Felt so good after coming out from my first paper! But.. I don't think I will be saying the same for the next three papers. The killer papers...


Anyhoos, still the same life for me. Same till the day I finish my exams. Studying and taking breaks in between and the daily necessities and of course the communications with the boyfriend.

Little things like him cheering me up before an exam over skype with quirky songs and cute dance moves and texts like "good luck baby", keeps me going! Altho he isn't physically here to hold me through exams, he is still here with me mentally and through the cyberspace. I can't wait to have him in my arms in 10 days!!! ♥♥

And on Friday night, aunty D took me out to dinner :D Japanese dinner @ Hyakumi on Keilor Road. The one we went to with the boyfie as well on the night before he went back to Malaysia. Read here on the awesome House Special which had sushis and sashimis and served on a traditional boat!



I need to struggle and pull through another 9 more days of exam related things! I can! And I will! God, just keep me some faith and strength... Am not asking for a lot but just enough for me to pass through everything.


Off shortly to dinner downstairs as I can already smell the food cooking.. :D And then it'll be more of these Broadband notes! Studying literally drains everything out of me.... Never in the world am I going to do exams anymore after I am done with my degree.. Neva eva!! =|

Love,
Shereena.

Hello!

It's SWOTVAC right nao and I am not enjoying it... Studying makes me so sleepy anddd exams make me so stressed out!! I have only been telling myself one thing in order to get through this, my eyes are focused on the prize, "Do well and try my hardest for exams and I'll be back to Malaysia in 16 days!!"

I was suppose to update two days ago but my internet got capped as it was over the quota limit soooo I was internetless during the peak hours for the last three days. I am one of those people who wouldn't be able to survive without the internet man! By the third day, I would most likely be completely bored and literally lifeless. HAHA! And to top the capping, I am low on my mobile data as well. So basically I could do nothing for 18 hours between 8am till 2am the next day. Well... nothing means some studying lah... At least without the internet, I would be less distracted. HEHE :D

So..., what I have been doing for those three days was, sleep at ungodly hours and wake up between 2am till 8am and go online in that 6 hours. Do whatever I could and mainly to skype with the boyfriend. In Melbourne 2am is Malaysia's 12am soooo it does make it pretty convenient to skype with the boyfriend :)

HEHE 16 days till I see my favourite boy! How awesome is that?!! I am going to spend a week with him before he heads back here to Melbourne for his masters studies. Wheeeeeee!! And..., he will be tagging along to Pulau Pangkor with me and my friends as well! A whole weekend beach vacay/getaway with the boyfriend and the close friends! So so looking forward to it!

Wokays the updates! The memorable things that I have been doing since my last update...

Last Wednesday was amazing!! I walked all over the city and went on a snapping spree with my cammie baby! I felt so alive and touristy and it was so much fun in just a backpack and a camera hug over my neck and just truly seeing Melbourne for how beautiful it really is in autumn! :)

First stop was to Carlton Gardens. I have been dying to go there and capture the autumn colours. And finally I did it! It was the only good day because I am going to be busy with exams and also yesterday and today it rained like nobody's business. Autumn is all about the colour transitions and how it's painted colourfully over the city.

It was my last chance to catch Carlton Gardens in autumn because the days after that was going to be wet and I have exams coming up soo I can't go.. So glad I still managed to catch it at its colour transitions time and the sun was out as well!




The autumn colours at the gardens was just too pretty! Colourful!! Autumn is the best season! Colours are beautifully painted everywhere and it is just truly amazing how beautiful nature colours can be!

By the time I was done with Carlton Gardens it was already 2 something in the afternoon which calls for lunch time!





After the finger licking good and very filling lunch, I walked to Flinders Street.








Then from Swanston Street, I detoured(turned left) to Flinders Street and then to Hosier Lane. Then I crossed over to Federation Building.



And of course, a stroll along the Yarra River is a must do!


Finally, a Yarra River and Southbank skyline capture from the Princes Bridge.


By the time I was done, it was already about 430pm and the sky was already super gloomy. Initially, I wanted to stay to capture a sunset from the Yarra River but the sky was too gloomy to even have sunset seen let alone a nice sunset capture.




It was time for home! That concluded my alone photo day tour in the city! :D Was very satisfying!!

Facebook album here :)

One day, I'll do the same thing when I am in New York City! I'll walk everywhere, take the subway and just truly see NYC for how beautiful it really is. I'll have a camera hung over my neck and I'll take pictures of every tiny bit and document everything the way I see it with my eyes. In hopes that if whenever I reflip the pictures taken, it'll be as tho I am reliving the memory and the moment and it'll be as tho I am there in NYC ♥ One day, I will fulfil this dream of mine! Definitely I will.

On Friday, I went back to uni early in the morning to do last minute touch ups on an assignment which was due later that evening. Everything went smoothly and that was my last day in uni for the semester till exams start. And by the time I was done at about 3pm, I haven't had anything to eat yet so I made plans to meet up with Celine over at Lygon Street.

Main reason was to collect an item that I asked her to buy for me and second was to catch up cause I am likely to not see her till I return back to Melbourne in August after my winter holidays in Malaysia. And of course to eat! Super starving by the time I met up with her!


The chips were soooo good! They have like a special seasoning which tasted salty, sourness and spicyness. It was tangy and refreshing! Celine went to get a small plate of seasoning to dip the chips in. The ketchup was just for show. HAHA! ANDDDD the crumbed scallops was so so so good!!! So fresh and juicy and huge! :D I am so going back for moarrrrrr! :D

Then about 5 something we parted ways. I went back home and slept till like 9 something cause I was super drained out from only 4 hours of sleep the night before cause I was busy doing my assignment. Which is now all done and good and nothing to be worried about.

And spent the rest of the night whatsapping the boyfriend until he went out for drinks with his friends. I wanna go out for drinks with him and his friends also lorr.... Instead I am here stuck with SWOTVAC and that night I was internetless somemore... ):

Saturday, woke up at 1pm and spent the next hour or two planning and finalizing our family trip to Tasmania in September. Mum and uncle and cousin is coming to visit and we all haven't been to Tassie sooo tassie it is! Booked their flight tickets for only $74 return trip. So cheap right! Initially I couldn't join them because I am pretty sure next semester is going to be a hectic one for me.

But then aunty D suggested that I just fly there and join them for the weekend. At least I could say I did go to Tasmania with them. So yeap! I booked a weekend flight for me and the boyfriend to join them in Hobart for two days and flying out early on a Monday morning because that was the cheapest flight and also the journey is only an hour fifteen minutes. We will be back around 9 something in the morning on Monday to resume to classes :)))) Wheeee I can't wait! For a family trip and also because the boyfie is joining!

After finalizing all of that, me and aunty D went out to DFO Essendon and I came back with a Ralph Lauren polo tee for the boyfie. Coincidentally there was big pony polos for men and it is the exact same design that I have which is a women cut and I bought it almost three years ago. So now, we have our very first couple tee :DDD And it was totally unplanned! Picture next time when we wear it it together :P

Got back from DFO around 5 something and I gotta get ready to head out for dinner in the city with Cherly and Jia Shen. I left the house around 630pm. Hopped onto the train and was at Red Silk by 7pm.




After dinner, Jia Shen suggested to go for drinks so we headed over to Cho Gao @ Melbourne Central. I had a glass of strawberry and pear cider and he had a glass of beer. It was a serious catch up session because I haven't been seeing him for over 6 weeks already and there are a lots of in between events that I didn't know of and they were in need of updates :)

Only sat there for about an hour and then we went to sit at San Churros for coffee for another hour. Then Cherly sent me and Jia Shen to go get his car and JS fetched me home. Was back by 11pm and JS only left about 20 minutes after that cause he was being polite and talked to my aunty for a bit. HAHA!


The rest of the night was chats with the boyfriend and skype sessions. The spread and circles over the screen.

Sunday and Monday and today and the rest of the days till I go back to Malaysia will be stay at home days. Stay at home and quarantine and hibernate for exams... =/ Me hate exams!!

Wokays some random bits here and there...


That's it for now! Back to reading lecture notes and tutorials! Three days till my first paper! Byee peeps~!

Much love,
sher xoxo.
