Apologies for the lack of updates.
Been pretty busy the past week.
Mostly doing visa crap..

omggggg fuck my life. haha. visa really makes me not wanna go to UK now. everyday involves something visa related. making payment. getting forms. taking photos. constantly emailing for papers. calls to and from classmates. rescheduling appointments. now i gotta postpone it another 2 weeks, cuz they're JUST sending our transcripts from UK now. and i need my passport next week for Bali trip.

Other than that.. just going out with friends and bumming with the brother who's on holidays now. Was finally cured of my 2week long cough. Dragged Jeat shopping with me yesterday to find a dress for the law ball, after much contemplation of buying/not buying another dress. dam good shopper - picked up a dress and accessories in the 1st shop itself. had to buy tape for my dress though. (jeat claims its so i can tape my parang with me. LMAO.)

Other than that.. life remains the same.. Law Ball this saturday. possible MOS after party (have a feeling we're all gonna be bored by 9pm).. birthday lunch on the weekend.. Bali next thursday..

Got back home on tuesday night, to the amazing heat, humidity, and haze.
Had a great flight back, cuz had 4 seats to myself and could lie across em.
Plans for this week - settle all the UK stuff.
Visa - done.
Accommodation - done.
Banking - done.
Just gotta fix up the laptop, and all will be settled.

Just to keep up to date...
Got back from our ski trip yesterday night. Just a day trip la. Not worth it to stay overnight since its only a 2 hour drive away. Had an awesome awesome time. Probably highlight of my entire trip (taking into account shopping!). Around 8 of us went cross country skiing - basically skiing around a designated trail, not the slopes.

Some of the pictures!

beautiful aussie country side. failed camera focus.


my snowmannnnn. cute rite? :D


we were pretty lucky to have snowfall that day (snow falls usually at night)


cross country makes me tired. esp uphill parts. downhill slopes were awesome.


pretty pretty trees.

Got a really good deal. A discount on the rental car. Borrowed the gear from their Uni so it was loads cheaper. Brought own food? haha. Total cost around Rm100. well worth it.

Only drawback..
1. fell down alot. hurt my shoulder at one point. now i can barely lift it.

2. caught the flu thats been going around. having the fever+cough+sorethroat combination now.

My final road trip will be on Saturday. Going for the Great Ocean Drive, some scenic drive towards Adelaide.. then im back home on tuesday night. self quarantine? =P ... depends on how bored i am...

Just wanted to put a quick post to keep everyone updated.. been MIA for awhile.. apologies!
Went to GoldCoast and Sydney a few days ago. honestly, i cant keep track of the days here! cuz we're always doing something so everyday feels like the weekend.


Visited both theme parks there and explored surfers paradise at night.

almost a 1km drop from the top....

Went to Sydney after that with my brother for 3 days. Did all the tourist stuff, china town, had amazing awesome ribs, went to manly beach, darling harbor.. walked on the bridge..


and managed to meet a familiar face........


Back to Melbourne after that to revive my energy levels. Did more shopping. Rode a bike to town (dam awesome in the cold). Lots of shopping. Cooking 2 meals a day. etc etc etc.

heavy drinking was involved. (finished by a group of 5 people)

Upcoming plans.....
- going to melb city 2morw to roam around (shopping included)

- possibly going for the Great Ocean Drive to see those sights + wine tasting at vineyards.
- more likely to go on a ski trip
