I'm not dead, I'm just going away

So most probably no posts from yours truly for the next one and a half months. Will be leaving early tomorrow morning for a 12 hour bus journey to somewhere up north. :) Grape picking and banana packing, here I come!

See you guys mid-January, have a happy Christmas!

(Do not expect belated presents or even presents of any sort when I come back, heehee)

Updates

Dunno if you all know, but HKL and Fenton left SP already. There's this new Claire Ng (I think that's her name lah) teaching DTP (I think that's what she's teaching lah) but sounds like she's quite lousy.

Sorry my gossip not very reliable. Heehee.

dinner

hi all, sy and me were discussing that our next dinner meeting be on 5 dec monday. all of u can make it? sy was suggesting we exchange christmas gifts just like last year. so on dec 5 we can draw lots :) anybody has violent objections on this?

so here is the headache: where shall we go? i think we'll go to a budget place. since i guess most of us will not have $$ for an expensive dinner. hmm... anybody has suggestions??

hey pwen, jia you for exam!! waiting for u to join us :)

so sorry sy, when u called me i was watching this documentary "Missing" that showed this little girl who went missing 20 yrs ago.. i'm so sorry if i sounded distracted when talking. paiseh.. :p

u want to go where to have hair cut? i would like to go too :)

hari raya

selamat hari raya~ i almost mistook this day as deepavali!

which reminds me, jess tot my birthday was after 30th Oct and she wished me "an advanced happy birthday!" -_-"

how are you guys? i am quite sick of work... i wanna take leave!

my boy bought jay chou's latest album - November Chopin. Go listen, it's great!

If possible, go buy!!!

holidays..

hi pwen, glad to hear from you :) dun worry, the time will fly by and you will be back HOME very soon!! i'm sure you will have lots of fun with your holidays spent at a farm :)

nothing much lately, except this week is a three-day week for us. yesterday was deepavali and tomoro is hari raya puasa. so this week is short. but quite stupid ar, work one day, rest one day, work one day, rest one day... unless we take mon,wed and fri off. then will have one whole week off :p hee that's wat sy did, she took wed and fri off to have holiday..

anyway, work here is fine, but doing mostly admin support. thinking of changing department. now i'm in programme and communications department, but the publishing department needs ppl. they do layout and printing. hee, that's where my pagemaker skills can be put into use :p (by the way, i think they use indesign, not pagemaker, but similiar)

but seems quite awkward, i scared my boss not happy that i “跳槽” to another department. anyway, i can decide and work that out slowly..

ok that's all for now. hope u r enjoying ur hols sy! looking forward to ur return pwen :) where are all of u lq, yh, jess?

happy holidays!!!

An attempt to revive the dead

Hello! Are you guys alive and well? Fangying has, to date, mailed me two letters. Snail mail wor! I didn't even know that such things still existed in this modern day of Internet and Laziness. But it's nice getting old-fashioned letters nonetheless. :)

I cannot wait til I get home for CNY. Now is the time I absolutely want time to fly as fast as possible. A lot of the international students are going home for Christmas, one girl even went home last thursday, and term hasn't even officially ended. For some of us, exams haven't even started. Goodness.

We're looking for a farm job this Christmas! Not bad right? Grape-picking and stuff like that. Will be under the hot summer sun for the most part but don't worry, I'll try to remember to apply sun screen and not come back the colour of chocolate.

Christmas is coming, or have you guys not noticed? Ok it's about two months away but decorations are already starting to be put up in the big city stores. Technically, the weather should start turning cooler but alas, you know Australia.

Looking forward to my vacation home!

With much love,
