Finally have to start packing up… time to shift back to Singapore. In the meanwhile, just enjoying whatever time I have left in Oz. In Sydney this week, and heading up to Brisbane next week… yay!

Been trying my hand at cooking again. Been a while since I’ve done it. Stopped ever since I moved in with the Kitchen Nazi who insisted on doing all the cooking in case I poisoned him with my inedible fare. Well, all I can say is that the poor deluded soul can go on thinking his half-cooked chicken is any good, whilst the rest of us learn some real cooking.

Guess the time I spent working as a kitchen-hand paid off. More aware of how things are prepared and cooked. My mum teaching me how to marinate stuff properly and observing how Sharon and Ivan cook paid off as well. And finally, never underestimate the power of a packet of ready-made sauce. Used to feel it was cheating. But then, who laid down any rules?!

Successful dishes so far:
- Stir-fried chicken and veg with oyster sauce
- Stir-fried chicken and veg with black pepper sauce
- Steamed egg
- MaPo Tofu
- Cheese omelette

At the doorstep of winter… can feel the lethargy creeping into my bones… finished all my assignments, now I just wanna laze around and do nothing… except I can’t. Have got to get my resume, cover letters, portfolio in order so I can secure a job as soon as I return to Singapore. No, I don’t need a holiday before I actually start work, I’ve got to wait 2 months just for my convo now. If it wasn’t for the convo, I’d prob be heading back for Singapore immediately to get on with my life.

It’s odd; I don’t usually miss home, but now that I’m almost heading back, I miss Singapore tremendously… the food, the entertainment, the people, the places… Will I head back to Australia? Now that there’s nothing left for me to come back to, it’s probably a valid question. One that will be answered when the time comes

Final week for the semester before the exams start. But hold on… I don’t have exams! SO this is the final week for my degree I know most of the people reading this will wanna kill me now

Doing up my resume and cover letter now. Have to start work fast when I return to Singapore if I wanna kickstart my plans. Happy to say that there are a lot of jobs which I’m eligible for, but whether I get one or not remains a separate question. Will spend the next few weeks throwing my portfolio together and exploring some other programs to expand my “skills” list.
