Complimentary Foot Spa

Dean jio-ed me for some complimentary foot spa on Tuesday evening. Apparently True Spa is giving away free spa treatments, but of cos' they'll psycho you to sign up for some package at the end of it.. Anyway both of us were not at all impressed with their service. Which masseuse actually wear latex gloves to massage?? Ya, mine did... *faints*

The most enjoyable part of the night was probably our dinner.. haha... and once again I stole pictures from Dean's blog...



Dean's meal - Penne pasta with fish roe cream sauce and scallops (i think...) yumm...


Dean looking v pleased with her pasta...


My dory fish and baked risotto... a bit too rich and creamy for my liking... plus.. there was NO veggies at all...



Me with my food... I look deformed.. my head is too huge for my body.. haha...

All these pics are taken using Dean's camera phone.. Impressed that the pictures actually turned out so good! Its a sony ericsson phone... BUT I will still support Samsung... One day.... I'm going to be their share holder... wahhahahaha....

Way Back Into Love

From Music and Lyrics... so sweet...







Hugh Grant - Way Back Into Love

I've been living with a shadow overhead,
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed,
I've been lonely for so long,
Trapped in the past,
I just can't seem to move on!

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away,
Just in case I ever need them again someday,
I've been setting aside time,
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind!

All I want to do is find a way back into love.
I can't make it true without a way back into love.

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine,
I've been searching but i just don't see the signs,
I know that it's out there,
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere!

I've been looking for someone to shed some light,
Not somebody just to get me through the night,
I could use some direction,
And I'm open to your suggestions.

All I want to do is find a way back into love.
I can't make it through without a way back into love.
And if I open my heart again,
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end!

There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

All I want to do is find a way back into love,
I can't make it through without a way back into love,
And if I open my heart to you,
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do,
And if you help me to start again,
You know that I'll be there for you in the end!

Research Elective

The email I received...

"Hi Liyan,

I managed to view the presentation and your assessment for your presentation was a distinction.

Your final report was graded as a credit. It was extremely well written. One of the issues was that you did not follow the format that was requested. More detailed comments will be sent to you on the manuscript.

Well done!

Kind regards

Lynne"

Extremely well written but only credit?!?!?!

zzzzz.... I'm so disappointed....

I take pride in my work... I cannot accept another credit as my grade! urgh!!!

Nostalgia

Was reading Selina's blog, and saw some travel pictures that she took. Which reminds me of my own travels in Aussieland... So I started rummaging through my photos and feeling of nostalgia overwhelmed me once again...

When Char first came to Adelaide, Lampee & I brought Char & her bf to Barossa Valley...

At some lookout point

Visited Victor Harbour with Marabelle... Its the only time we traveled together... I think...


At Hahndorf with Char... Strawberry picking season!

And to those who didn't know... strawberries don't grow on trees.. :P

After exams last year, Lampee, Joyce, Char & I took a road trip up to Mount Gambier...

Its the famous "Blue Lake" behind us...

End 2005 Joyce & I traveled to Melbourne & Sydney...

At the Great Ocean Road...


At some lookout point in Canberra with Joyce

When I was still new to Adelaide, Joyce & Selina brought me to Morialta Falls for a "hiking" trip... where we met a "flasher"...

Love the scenery!

Went wakeboarding with Joyce & Selina at Murray River...

They say I look v pro... actually.. I was trying v hard not to fall flat on my face...

This was taken during my first week in Adelaide after my parents left...

At Port Adelaide.. Looking...erm... tut...

Royal Adelaide show 2005...


I don't think I'd be able to survive 2005 without Joyce... thanks for keeping me sane!


Some Singaporean Student Association function... at the front steps of uni..


Unforgettable trip to Sydney... All thanks to Bryan and his girlfriend for taking us around!


With Char at Watson's Bay...

Best housemate! heh

Most interesting picture that I chanced upon while browsing through all my old pics...

I always thought I met EJ at 2006 second semester post grad dinner... hmmm... but apparently EJ was seated beside me at 2006 first semester post grad dinner...

Eh EJ u purposely sat beside me again at the 2nd post grad dinner right? haha... btw... in that you actually looked.... slimmer... :P

Peaberry & Pretzel

Its a cool dessert place at Sunset Way. The new place to be... no more Holland Village! haha...

EJ & I checked out Peaberry & Pretzel for their dessert. Oh, they serve proper food too, like pasta and pork knuckles n stuff. I can't say they serve German cuisine cos... its practically a mix of everything...

They had a pretty good range of cakes to choose from...


Yum.....

But I wanted Tiramisu...


They were very generous with the coffee powder... EJ said he nearly choked on the coffee powder.. haha...


Its so yummy I'm lost in my own world... :P

EJ had some warm chocolate pudding thingy with ice-cream.. It had a pretty name, but... didn't taste quite up to standard... maybe we OD-ed on chocolates...


But it looks beautiful huh!


Love their decor!!

And to end my palate...

I had my little cup of Chai latte... Yummmmmm

You should come visit my funky neighbourhood!!

Whee!!

Its finally O-V-E-R...

The past 3 weeks have one of the darkest periods of this year. Seriously. Being on your toes all day and being shot question after question is really draining. I'm so glad this is over :)

Only left with critical review now. 2 more weeks. After that I'm officially done for the year. My student life is about to come to an end... And now... I'm starting to feel a lil' intimidated about working life... But I guess its all part and parcel of growing up!

I'm going to take a short break this weekend, no report writing. Just chilling.

Going to M'sia with a few friends... they're there to surf... And I'm there to.... bask in the sun? haha... I can't swim, can't surf, can't dive... I think I'm going to chill by the beach... with a good book? heh heh...

Laters!
