Yikes, super sienz. So Sien that I watched “Mr and Mrs Smith” again….and then watched “The Island” straight after that. You see, the evils of television. I think it is very lucky that I do not have Astro at home. I would be spending hours and hours watching television, before work, after work….. Crazy. But I must say, one of the few reasons that I will be slightly reluctant to go home tomorrow would be the fact that I would be unable to watch HSM2 Dance-along on Disney Channel at 7.30 pm. And also Disney Channel Dance-along right after that. Cannot believe that I will be missing it. Well at least I did manage to watch it three times and also watched the Sing-along version as well. I wonder if SharBear has managed to watch it yet, since we tried to watch it twice in Melbourne but failed miserable ? Kekeke.

The good news is that I have managed to go through my whole syllabus again, but currently my scoring is hovering around the 60s. I really need to pump it up to the early 80s or high 70s if I want to be sure to pass my exam next Saturday. Stress. The plan is to do a mock paper on Thursday, a public holiday, and then go to work on Friday. Then super duper mega power double bonus level up intense study for a week from this Saturday onwards till the exam on the 17th. Sigh. Not much life for a week. But I suppose if I pass it, even two weeks without life also I am willing to go through. The funny thing is, right after the exam, I already have my books for my third level of the CFA examination next June, so technically I could start studying for that. But right now, I will probably only start around the 8th of December, that gives me around 3 weeks of break. Crazy. OK. I will not even try to think about that first. First……FRM exam.

Need to study like crazy !!

Oh and for the past few weeks, I have been sleeping with my couch cushions instead of my pillows. I have discovered that the cushions are way more comfortable than those flattish pillows. They are quite thick and superbly comfortable. They remind me of someone too. HAHAHA. Big fat cushions. Kekeke. That is another thing I would loathe to leave behind.

All in all, I must say that I am really glad to be going home tomorrow. I can honestly say that I have actually been looking forward to tomorrow since 2 weeks ago. Oopz. I suppose I would have enjoyed this trip a lot more if I came from Malaysia, but then again, I came almost directly after Melbourne, and hardly anywhere can be even compared to my beloved Melbourne. It is almost sacrilegious to compare cities with Melbourne. Haha. I guess that would be why I spent so much time and money here, to try to convince myself that this place was good too. Well, in my month here, I have been on tours, went to top beaches in the world, great citadels, tombs, war tunnels, eaten at 5 star restaurants, and also a crazy amount of massages, and I cannot say that I have had a bad time. But of course, it came with a lot of expense. Especially for massage. Though cheap individually, for me this has been a record month for massage. And yet I have not even been to these places as much as GANay who at one point, went every day for more than 2 weeks ! Total visits in his two month stint here definitely number more than 40. Crazy. Now that is insane. Well I do not blame him, they are really cheap here, and some of them even feel better than those that you can find in KL. Now who would have thought I could enjoy massages so much ? Not me. (I got used to stripping off in front of people now though. LOL). Haha. Oh well, I think I am almost massaged off this year. Would be fine without any more this year. Though who knows ?

So technically, I have spent more money than I would have normally, but then again, since there are some allowances that I receive, technically, I still earn a little bit more than I would have usually. I suppose if I had tried, I would have been able to save a lot more, but then again, I told you how much I spent right….. Sigh. Ooooo. One good thing here is that every time I top up my credit for my prepaid phone, they give me twice as much credit. Very good. And very useful, especially when I call overseas. Good luck for your exams everyone.

Ooooo today is the Melbourne Cup. Over here, the Sheraton Hotel is having a party for it, with a USD100 buy in to a event with free flow beer, champagne, food and huge giant screen televisions. And since people with overseas passports can gamble here, there are bound to be people putting some money on the horses. Wish I could go, but I am stuck at work. Perhaps a lunch time jaunt to the local Aussie bar ? You would be surprised at the amount of Australians here. There are so many that you could usually find one at any bar or pub after work. There is even a huge International Australian School of Vietnam for pre-school up to Year 10. Whoa !

Anyway….

Go horsie Go !!!
And I better study……la…………..haihs,……,never felt so unprepared for an exam before. Die.

Oh !!!

A famous model just stepped into the branch..and everyone went crazy in the office, and some of them were crowding round the security camera screen, and I went out, took off my office tag, and went to take a look. Whoa. Supermodel man……..kekekeke. Little excitements to take off the drag of working life. People who are graduating and going to work next year, let this be a lesson to you. You should let the smallest things should brighten up your day, so that most if not all your days will be brightened.
