evening.
Having someone to cook for you is just another pleasant thing. while I turned on Penny's music (which David brought from Malaysia), sat on the comfy couch in the living room, with a big fat marketing textbook sitting on my lap, holding a thin slim pen, (a very bad habit of mine, which I frequently rotate the pen whenever I hold them, in a result of slight dropping sound, sometime it could be annoying.)
Sometimes I concentrated on the content, sometimes I looked up and talked to my baby.
We joked around. I love gossiping!
He said I am an extremely sensitive person. I totally agree!
Stubborn. Not flexible.
I love the evening like this. Sometimes peaceful. Sometimes joyful. :)

Our first.KAraoke.Night.together.
It was indeed a very fun night for all of us! We actually had our karaoke plan earlier on during the easter break, but it was being postponed until last few days.
Finally!
In fact, my mood was very 'high' during the class, couldn't wait to go for Karaoke after the lecture with the girls...
But the only thing was, Michael kept his mouth shut the whole night!!! Oh come on! You must sing for us, next time!
A lot of new experiences. My first time doing the most stupiest face with them. *ma, I don't think you gonna like it, hahaha ! Ying said I look like monkey!! * But the real expert is..........tadahh!!! Our miss Elin ! She's so professional! hahaa..
I love the night! Although we were all worried about our assignments which are piling up like a mountain.
Thankyou*big hug*!!

So dramatic!
It's all about timing! Nobody's fault, but it seems like it's everybody's fault!
Life is all about making choices. Timing is extremely important and it is really unexplainable to watch people just missed the chance at the wrong timing to meet each other.
Life is interesting!

my days.
Been going to do sports recently. And my body still is aching.
Group meetings are still in my diary schedule. Too many things to do!
In two days, I had to attend 3 different group meetings. *busy busy*
But I am glad we could just hang out in cafe while we discuss our group projects.
Planned to have dinner karaoke with the girls (Elin, Kelly, Xiao E) last night after our group meeting.
Had got it cancle, because of the tight schedule.
Instead, we headed to one of the Korean restaurant in town for dinner.
Chit-chatting as always.
Nice food! Bimbimbap
Love the girls! *grin**

Day 3 (080407)
Remember that eating a healthy breakfast is always the best way to start off your day!!! =D
beautiful sea view
oOoh Gosh! the sun is so strong! For me, getting tan is always a struggle! haha!
I guess this is a must to leave your "footprints" in the sand. Read the word? there are "Bing" and "lei"
the "flying" experience! *muahaha*
ok a decent one! Cheeeeeeeeeeese!
Canoeing is so much fun, especially when the wind is strong and you felt like you were being blown by the wind.
Ahh!! Quick!!!! Hide hide! I don't wanna be a tan babe!
Here comes the fun part! Let me teach you how to "fly" like a superwoman! First, open both arms wide wide, head looking up and imagine you are a superwoman!!! That's how I got the 'look' in the first picture.
The second picture's a failure! No laughing no laughing, you see!
Good job buddy! Very nice fly, nice! But maybe you can work on your face expression more next time! =D
People, see the different?? Must open your arms wide enough! This is what we called " The star fish" jump...inspired by Mr D.
Thank you for always snapping beautiful picture of me! my number two personal photographer! Mum is always number one, okay! ^-^

Day 2 (070407)
We were up early and headed to have our breakfast. Very nice Aussie breakfast!
I saw this, on the way to the beach. Live prawns to be used as baits for fishing.
So we read the map, and figured out which way to head to the main beach! It took us about 15 minutes walk through the bush to the beach.
And it was tooooOoooooOooo windy!!!!!!!!!! Very windy until I felt so painful when the sands hit my skin! It was unbearable!!!!
But look at the view! So stunning, right!
So we hid under the bush, and tried to wait for a moment. No one's allowed to get into the water. Too dangerous!
Hiding and waiting impatiently
We then decided to walk back and just enjoyed the sun bathing somewhere near the jetty where lots of boats being docked there. And look! What we found on the way back! It was wallaby and her little baby in her pouch!
A close up! Looks like she's having a new born baby. So fleshy!
Docking area for ferries, speedboats, and water sports.
sexy back
two dearbies
the beach babe! *notice my hair's length? Yeah, I just cut it myself. Straight, no more layer!
Nice picture of us!
Getting ready for paddle boat!
Yeah! Drew a black love shape on my face!
Sand boarding is always fun! But, the most challenging part was to get your strong feet and climb all the way up to the hill! So tiring la! And the strong wind is such a killer, brought all the sands into my eyes!!! >.<
But still, it was very fun!
Wooh! Dearby, Go!!
my sexy boy
our sumptuous dinner!
More to come! ^^
...........................................................................................................................................
Off to Stradbroke Island.
Day 1- We managed to catch the 4pm ferry from Runaway Marina Bay. Lots of lots of ferryboats! Such a beautiful day! Look at the navy blue sky!!
Waiting to be boarded
I told ya! My eyes!!
On board!
my dearby
cam-whoring !!
Arrived at Stradbroke Island! WoooOoooh!!
The Stradbroke bungalow
the bathroom doorway
My eyes are recovering better and better! Thank you doctor for your magic pill!!!
This picture can tells a little bit of the swollen eyes.But, I donno why, maybe its the flash, it makes my swollen eyes away, it was actually still swollen. >.<
As we arrived pretty late, so we didn't have the chance to hang out at the beach as it turned pretty cold after the sun set. Plus, I still feel really tired due to my swollen eyes and of course the menstrual, so we basically just unpacked our stuff, headed to the restaurant for our dinner, and came back and rested for the rest of the night.
Gain gain gain for more energy for next day!!

Easter holiday preparation + my swollen eyes.
So, you see! I don't even have time or mood for holiday. Been studying hard and trying to remember as many theories as I can before I go into the exam battle.
So straight after Thursday's exam, Dearby came and picked me up from Uni and we went straight to Chermside shopping mall, in mind to get some snacks, medicine, and sun cream for next day's trip.
Very unlucky indeed, which I have already knew, the arrival of my menstrual period on the exam day. Which also means I will not be able to go into the 'deep blue sea' and swim during the trip in Stradbroke Island. What a shame!
So, anyway, while I was passing by one of the pharmacy in Chermside Shopping Mall, I was thinking maybe it is a good idea to get some period pain pills so that I won't feel too bad while I am away. As normally, I will have heavy pain during the first two days. And I don't have the habit of taking pills during the period.
So, I went and seek for advices. And the pharmacist introduced "Naprogesic" to me. One of the many kind treats to the cause of period pain.
So, after that, we were busy packing as we will be leaving to catch the ferry at 10.30am on Good Friday which means we will have to leave from Brisbane 45 minutes earlier to the Runaway Marina Bay, which located pretty near in Gold Coast.
Before I went to bed, I then took a pill of the Naprogesic together with my oatmeal porridge. It was just pass midnight.
At 1am, after an hour sleep, I was awake and feeling not comfortable as it was like something's blocking my eyesight. I quickily went into the bathroom and I was shocked to see my right eye is heavily and seriously SWOLLEN. Very very serious until it almost cover my half face of the right side!!!
I tried to get some sleep as I didn't really know what to do.
An hour later, I was awake again. and what happened was my left eye's starting to swell as well! Very severe swollen for both eyes.
No itchiness. No pain. Just plain swollen and blocking my eyesight totally. That's all.I could hardly open my eyes. Pathetic!
So, after a few hours sleep until 7am, still my eyes were swollen, and obviously we couldn't catch the ferry on time as I really need to get some medical treatment. So I called and luckily we can change the time to afternoon to get the ferry.
On such a lovely Good Friday morning, no clinic is open! Everyone is having public holiday!!! I was panic after I have tried to call for so many times until an operator answered the call and told me that there will be an after-hour visiting doctor and it will cost about AUD 130 (but with my Medicare card, I will be able to claim back about 75%) So I told her about my condition and also told her about the period pain pills as I wasn't sure if that was the cause to my swollen eyes.
So I waited at home. Doctor R. came. A very nice Fijian doctor. After his treatment, I am advised not to take pills that contains "Naproxen" no more. The period pain tablet I had contains 'Naproxen Sodium" which my body is allergic to. And due to the sensitiveness of my eyes, I will have to keep in mind and say NO to Naproxen!
".....Just a mild allergic, that's all! Don't worry Sheaulei! I will give you "Phenergan" and you will be fine after that. And don't let this stop your wonderful trip to the island......"
So, pphhhew!
Few hours later. I hopped into the car happily, still with my swollen eyes, (I had to wear my sunglasses in order not to scare people off , Haha ! ) but there were a significant reduction of the swelling after the treatment, which I hoped it will be gone after I reached the island.
=D
What a day!

Hi I am back!
Happy Easter everyone! Hm A little bit too late to greet after the easter.
I had a wonderful and splendid easter break! Totally refreshed and reborn.
I am sure everyone else did enjoy theirs as well!
In Australia, not only Good Friday is public holiday, but also Easter Monday, therefore, people will get to enjoy their long "awaited" weekend break. But for me, as a postgraduate, I am so lucky that I have the privilege to enjoy a whole full week of break. *Wooh* But of course, you know, when I was looking at my schedule, I find that my group meetings are MORE than holiday activities. What?!?! Oh God! That means I am gonna have to start doing some preparation works for those meetings.
Mid-term IBUS exam
On the 5th of April, which falls on last Thursday, I had my first mid term test for Operating International Business. To be honest, the test turned out to be not as hard as I have imagined. Thank God! But, multiple choice is rather hard. I am not sure how much I could score for that one. But still overall, I was pretty relieved as the short essay questions were not too hard to answer.
I wonder how much I could get.
Nervous.
