The 3 months in SG
Hi guys! Ok you must really hate me for not updating for such a long time (or are there even any readers at all? Hahaha!), but I have been really busy ever since I got back in late Nov, and I'm now back to Melb to embrace my new semester of studies.Warning - this is gonna be a super long entry heavy loaded with pictures. (I guess I'm the only one worried cuz my internet charges are based on the MBs I'm used for the month.)
Met up with my uni clique on the following week when all of us got back. Dined at Nude Restaurant, and hopped to Bakerzin for dessert. And how could we have missed out our camwhoring?
Second dinner out together at Botak Jones at Youth Park. Chilled at Starbucks after that.
X'mas potluck at Alex's place was fun! Too bad Nat couldn't join. Had pasta, beehoon, ham, roast chicken and yummy desserts made by Sam and Alex!
Started my audit internship at KPMG in Dec with Lea, Wanting, Bryan and Yang. Surprisingly, most of the interns were Aust uni undergraduate students, and met people also from the same uni. The internship experience was good, my colleagues were great and I'm thinking of going into audit after I graduate.

Closest friends during internship..
The Unimelb gang - Yang and Wanting
My AGL (ar-gar-liao - if you know what that means!) friend - TING TING! :D
Yilin from Monash.
Shirley from UNSW.
Attended Josephine's 21st birthday bash at S'pore Polo Club. The ambience was great, and the weather for that day was just nice.. a breezy day. The food was simply wonderful and I have to say that I was totally impressed by the tiramisu! Simply fantastic! Yes, I'm a super big fan of tiramisu and I know this does really sound exaggerating but I love the tiramisu! The taste of the liquor and cheese was just nice and brought out the wonderful taste of tiramisu. Goodness, I'm drooling now! Haha.
Together with birthday girl and yiying.
Met up with Jose before flying back to Melb, and it definitely feels great to meet up old school friends (btw, she's one of my primary school bestie).. with lots to catch up and discover how each of us have changed ever since those innocent primary school days.
Shokudo dinner at Heeren!
My love.... Haha. :D
During the period when I was back in SG, I decided to meet up with qiufen, yingyu and chloe since it has been ages since I caught up with them.
Ahhh.. How I can ever forget to meet up with my best friends when I get back? Had fun meeting up with them.. Chatting, laughing, teasing, gossiping with what has been happening for the past few months. I'm gonna miss them seriously as I will only be back home in Nov as I have plans to travel around Aust during my july winter holidays.
CNY house-hop
Last meetup on the night before flying off
Met up with Kelly after I got back and before flying off again. Its just really heartwarming to be back home to meet up with friends which you haven't seen for months and catching up with life overseas (you will totally understand how I feel only if you have the experience of studying overseas).

Home sweet home!
I'm finally back in sg! Definitely happy to be back to meet up with all my friends but I'm already starting to miss melbourne. Especially the weather, jogging in Prince's Park, and the crazy DFO and Sportsgirl shopping ! Hahaha! Can't wait to return to Melbourne soon. Opps!Val, Nat, Alex and I decided to check out the 2-day event of Lygon St Festa during our swot vac because we had enough of studying during exams! Haha. Lygon St, which is only a 2 minute walk from my place, is famous in Melbourne for its superb italian food, which is also home to my favourite italian gelato, FREDDO'S! Apparently its an annual festival celebrating the Italian culture with italian food, music and performances.
Chocolate lovers favourite hangout... Koko black! (:
So adorable!
Lunch at Universal pizza!
Our energy boost for exams! Hahaha!
So loving!
Zi brought Lea, Val and I to La Trobe Uni cuz she had to return her books for her Spanish language classes, and it was about an hour of tram ride from the city. La Trobe Uni definitely has a bigger campus ground than Unimelb, but I stil love the old Victorian feel of Unimelb campus, which was one of the main reason which attracted me to study at Unimelb. (:
Lea's standard twist pose
We are here!
Love the blue cloudy sky!
Met up with Nat after shopping with Val in the city for dinner at St Kilda's. I was dying to have my all-time favourite fish and chips at St Kilda's before returning home, and even though it was raining and it was terribly cold because St Kilda's was near the sea side, it couldn't stop the three of us to satisfy our craving.

Our to-die-for fish and chips!
My roommate... Val!
One of my uni shopping and eating bestie.. Nat!
Went to Sunday's Camberwell flea market with Charlene and Nat. In the end, we didn't manage to find any cheap good bargain for clothes cuz we were simply too lazy to shop around, but we managed to buy alot of stuff from Sportsgirl instead. How ironic!
