Jean's Graduation!!

Jean's back in Malaysia and she posted up her graduation pictures on her fb.
I just had to steal it and re-post it here, cause she looks great in a graduation gown.


Her hood was a bright yellow. and her graduation bear had the same coloured hood too!

definitely deserves a thumbs-up!

Looking at her graduation pictures, I can't wait till my ceremony. It's on the 19th of May. Another month an a half to go. But so so so so excited about it. Mom and sis are coming too!! Looking at the pictures, I must note down to get a haircut before my graduation..


Till the next one,
Have a good week cause easter's around the corner.
Whee to public holidays (cause I start work in exactly 6 days!)

TGIF

I'm not technically enjoying it now, (about it being a friday) but I know come april, I'd be loving my Fridays cause it's a sign that the weekend is near!
Time flies and it's a Friday again.
Updates for the week:

Jean graduated! Wheee... On Thursday at 10am at Union Hall, Bundoora (sounds like a wedding announcement). I wish I could have been in the hall to see her receive her scroll, but I HAD to teach/work. But we got a couple of pictures together before the ceremony and I'll post em up as soon as I get them from her.

In more not-so-exciting news, Jean's leaving for Malaysia this afternoon. She's on her way to the airport now for her flight at 5pm later. I wish she didn't have to go back. Melbourne feels different without her around. Nevertheless, fingers crossed that she'll be back here in July.

Just a couple more updates about my new job:
I start on the 6th of April, after the long Easter weekend. Working hours: 8.30-5.30 with an hour of lunch in between. That's not too bad. But come winter, it'll be freezing at 7 in the morning when I have to leave for work. I'm so very very excited about the new job. There's loads to do and loads to learn there so I'm really looking forward to it. The job AND the money of course.

Since I'm not technically working full-time yet (I only teach at uni twice a week), I've been trying to keep up with my "tv-freak' label. Since last year, I haven't had time to watch the tv shows that I used to. One Tree Hill, Gossip Girls, Grey's Anatomy and Friends (again) just to name a few. So since I have some time on my hands, I've decided that I better start watching now or I'd be seasons behind everyone else. Since DVDs are only a dollar on Tuesdays (movie days), I've been renting movies and the all-time-fav Gossip Girls and How I Met Your Mother.
I know I watch alot of tv, but hey, life's short and when you've got extra time on your hands, there's no harm in watching a couple hours of tv. =D

Just in case you think I watch too much tv and I'll become stupid/dumb sooner than you think, I still read. Just finished an old book "Just Friends" by Robyn Sisman. Starting on 'Can you hear the nightbird call' by Anita Rau Badami in a bit. Any suggestions for a good book?

Till the next one,
Have a fun/exciting weekend out
and have a safe flight jean. will miss you.

Updated: Now up and running

Hi everyone. Sorry about the lack of updates. I never seem to have time to update when I'm back in Malaysia for holidays. I don't know if it's the weather or what. But now I'm back in Melbourne, just in case you didn't know. Got back here the first week of March. As usual, the 'parting' moment was hard. It's always hard to leave home, knowing that it'll be a long time before I'm back there again. I was home sick for the next couple of days. Missed home, my mom sis and grandma, and home cooked food. But all's good now. I've settle back into the Melbourne lifestyle and gotten used to doing all the chores again. ugh.

Since I got back, I've been busy busy busy. Applying for my Graduate Visa just right before my student visa expires. I've also been applying for jobs like crazy. I'm on seek.com everyday looking for something that I'd like to do everyday for the next year. That was HARD. There are so many jobs available, but barely any that would suit me. It was either something I wasn't interested in, or something totally out of my field. The transition period between completing studies and getting a job is really stressful. And mind you, I'm not the only one who thinks so. Eeling's looking for a job herself too. And we talk about wanting 'this and that job' sooooo much.

Thankfully I've got great news! I was offered a job that I really really really really want. After three interviews, I start after Easter holidays. I'm so excited about it. I'm finally EMPLOYED. No longer having to worry about paying the rent and utilities. It's such a relieve. So I've got another week to relax and of course teach at uni and I'll start my new job! Wheee!!!


I'll update soon. With more interesting news. Fingers crossed.

Till then,
be happy for me! haha. I'm EMPLOYED!!
and have a good week ya'll
