27th September, most definitely a day not to forget! Started early in the morning at 8am. Packed up and got ready... for what? Accounting Managerial 101 presentation! After days of practice and much work put in we were finally going to present! So 9am sharp Fair showed up at my door...to Rocky :P haha~ so I drove to campus and waited a bit for Vic to arrive. Once he did we headed into the library's discussion room (love these). We had up to 4 times of run through practice but it seemed like only the 1st run went super smoothly! Fair was consistent, mine got worst with each time and Vic...hmmm, got more worried and slipped up even more.
At 11am we headed into the room and waited for our turn... and waited... our nerves really played with us by the time it was our turn... the last group...after 3 long hours of waiting! But, I felt that we did a super job being the closing group although only 4 groups stuck around to see us. After watching so many people present the same discussion question it was natural for us to be nervous...especially since all their points are the same...and we stuck out as being totally different!! Made me proud to be the group leader when Mr. Anba praised us XD wakakaka!!!
Haha, then after our presentation, Fair bundled back into my car then we fetched Shu Na [came along with me coz we were going for prom together ;)] All the way back she slept in the back seat (sooo cute XD) Once we reached home, she hit off with my mum =) [sorry lar, my Chinese is rusty] a quick rest and shower later we head off to the saloon to get our hair done~ Annie's place, I adore the place now~ since I was a kid I always went there for hair cuts, first time there for styling tho ^-^ great choice =D I was soooo satisfied with what I got (tho my mum said it looked like a chicken's tail lolz)
Rushed home and had my mum put on the makeup for me with help from Shu Na :P haha, told her it's too light but haha ah well~ and just as I was going to put on my dress the boys [Ham and Irwin] showed up ^.^ haha, had Ed entertain them while me and Shu Na dressed up~ It was cute how they all stepped on the weighting scale before leaving lol!! And we were off =D
Reached EastWood around...6.30pm and was awed by the people I saw, right off the bat was Ian with his usual smile :D then there was Maaaay! XD lol! We headed off to the cocktail party (the pre-prom if you will) and I had grape wine (very strong too and since we were all on empty-stomach :P) Met lotsa people XD ekeke~
The grand ball room was...grand =) ahaha, the food was nice, the music not so much since the mics were off tune, the people were great and it was fun =D Lotsa pics taken ^^ check them out in facebook =D ekeke. At the end, the dance floor was too small but we made the best out of it. Nelson was one heck of a singer as always hehe.
All in all, it was nice~ much better than my A lvls time haha and I did enjoy myself tho it would seem like I zoned out now and then (gomen ne!) Many thanks for the drive all the way here and sending me back.

fuuuuu~ what a day!
20th September, a day I won't forget in a long long time :P Started the morning with my Accounting Managerial 101 exam, I was so tense from the mcq questions, 50 in 1.5 hours. But I finished before time =) just made 1 known silly mistake at the mo =-= High hopes to score high! =D
Right after the exam, I headed to the LT foyer to join the registration group for the 5th CPA-Curtin Undergraduate Business Conference. It was pretty cool, how we actually managed to get 177 students to participate in just 1 week! woot! It was mission impossible fulfilled! 8 students came from Swinburne Kuching =) 2 from IBS (poor boys, heard they were ignored >< bad president)
In my opinion tho, the conference wasn't that much of a success as many found the morning topics to be too boring. Dr. Adeline really saved the day with her personality test after lunch =D After that I stayed outside coz...I bumped into our lovely Fernleaf! XD So we chatted and chatted away as she waited for her dear dear so they could study haha.
I must say, being a non-participant this time around makes me see a lot...how the students complain bout the shirt size (first come first serve basis and they know this) and not enough food (this is understand to be too much of an under-estimation on our side >< sorry hungry people!). Only 4 who signed up didn't show up which was a huge shock for the seniors who expect an average of 40+ to not show up!!!
After the conference, we cleaned up the LT and took lotsa pics =D Then we bundled into Vic's car (many thanks~) coz poor Gil's car had a punctured tyre! Fortunately he had it replaced in time to pick me, Yuki and her housemate to dinner =P
Owh dinner, it was super yummy at Yi-Har-Hai!!! XD Sea cucumber soup, kailan, lemon chicken, mixed vege+toufu, butter crab and fried sotong ...p= We, a table of 9 girls, pretty much beat everyone else's tables at finishing the food XD Girl power wei~ we were so keng XD lol!!!
After dinner the gang went to the Public Park (like 2-4 mins from my house >>) to show the Swinburne kids around, I headed home~ after shower and a sleep attempt to play Wall E I konked out and zzzzzz hehe, life is good~

CV bintang fund raising and mooncake festival!
Weeee~ felt like updating, will get to all the other events before today probably after my exams and hectic moment T_T gomen!!!
So today is the big day, amongst my assignment kicking, presentation prep and revision, I have taken today to volunteer myself to the Samboi Queen (previously Lemonade Queen)! We had games: pop those balloons!, ring around the bottles, be a magician, sudoku and guess the books. We had cakes and biscuits and we had samboi drink.
Went to Parkson at 9.30am sharp and started the unpacking and arranging at the drinks table. First we had to boil water coz only hot water can bring out the 'true' taste of the samboi+lime. Poured 1 mini-bucket of concentrated syrup into the giant metal tong + 1 gallon of water to dilute it (and even then it was still concentrated!! way to go Samboi Queen xD).
And then the ice arrived....without a place to store them >_< we resorted to just leaving 2 bags of the ice on the floor... bad move. The melted ice spilled out on the floor and after mopping up after it twice I just couldn't be bothered, my right shoe was soaked and business wasn't so well for a good first hour [it was only rm$1!!]
The mak cik was sorta scolding us for not preparing a bucket or something to keep the ice bags, sad thing was I didn't understand Sarawakian so I just stared blankly and gave an uncertain smile [CV! mah, whatever happens smile!!] Thank goodness after 2 rounds of frowns and scolding a fellow member of the drinks section borrowed buckets from the toilet attendant! [many thanks yo!] After a quick mop after, the water stayed in the bucket and the scoldings stopped hahaha!
Our drinks department didn't do as well as we hope, probably coz it was puasa time and mooncake festival so there weren't many people around. We sold around 90 or so drinks and still had leftovers so since sharing is caring, the rest was tapau-ed back XD hahaha, Orange was especially happy, hugging the tong of samboi drink since early afternoon! lmao!!!
Anyways, Vincent was our main MC for the day and he did a good job however his mic was outshown by the infamous Ian XD lol! He really lit up the place from the beginning, starting from the CV! cheer =D We had a lot of curious stares when we did the cheer but it brought our spirit up ^^
I loved the dances!!! They were the bomb! Ophe and Mich were especially H.O.T!! XD lol~ They can really move! woots!! haha. The new dance was cuteeee~ would love to learn the moves to that one =D hehe.
YB Lee came for the closing ceremony and hmm, well let's just say I will be collecting more newspaper clippings XD hehe, we cheered on and on with lots of camwhoring to celebrate the new record for the Bintang Fund Raising's donation amount! wootz! It's been really fun and the experience is worth it anyday, anytime ^^
Tonight, Jovis they all came over for dinner and boy I was stuffed with baked chicken p= Many thanks couz for the help in finally getting the dress disciplined! XD (what do I mean? you will have to find out on the 27th ;D) Had a short camwhoring session with her in my room, will get the pics asaic ('as soon as I can' lar XD)
Hahahahaha, excuse the hyper-ness, just had yummy yum yum DURIAN XD Owh and I finally got a CV! t-shirt XD Extra weeeeeeeeeeee~ Night peeps!! buahaha!
