This Winter Holiday :)

Its just one of the rare moments of the year where I can finally and peacefully sit at home all alone to relax and do whatever I like..guess its been a while since I have such a moment to myself..at least happily and with no worries..

And so..after 3.5 years..I have finally completed my Bachelor of Commerce in Melbourne Uni..finger crossed that everything went smoothly in the exams..and now I kinda feel old when I look at the juniors at uni..oh well..this is life..next sem I will be a full time law student..sounds impressive..but after being a mediocre student for law all these while, i guess its time for me to do something with my law studies and to at least improve on my exam performances..after all studying law is my dream and I cant just ruined it with my not-so-good results..

This winter has been good except for the exceptionally cold weather these few days..and Josh and I actually went on a trip together to Brisbane and Gold Coast this holiday..apart from being our first holiday together, this was also my first time being so brave after turning 21 to try on all the thrill rides in Dreamworld...haha...never knew i would survive after all of the thrill rides....imagining urself taking a big plunge from the height of 39 floors or being spinned around 360 degrees! But thankfully, the weather in GC was great and we manage to have a great time enjoying the sunshine at Surfers Paradise....hmm...guess more fun is to come this winter holiday when I reunite with all my girlies in Melb- celebrate my birthday-and touch down in the land I call home to reunite with my family and dearest friends...till then and Happy Holiday to everyone! xoxo

Some pictures from my Brissy trip :) Thanks Jer Rei and her friends for the hospitality and fun!

Me and the sinfully hot chocolate I had..but its just too yummy to resist!
despite I was very full when I had it...

xoxo

Cheers!

Its Spring Holiday!

Yup...finally am all done with my MSTs and assignments and am left only with the final exams..but with the speed of time drifting away..I assume that will come very soon as I was told that the exam timetable will be relased in a week or so time...SCARY!

For the whole 3 years, this is the first holiday which I have done nothing academic for a whole complete week and feasting all the way..seriously, soon, I will be back to square one with my body as I have been eating so so Much..sigh...

And the sad thing is..I have completely lost my study mood/ohm...wutever u call it..as a result of not touching my books for ONE Week..how sad is that...I really have to pick that up very soon coz I am so so behind for my studies...near to screwed u may say..

but but..I have been baking a lot this semester and I have managed to bake my very first cheesecake all by myself! Yummy~ but but there is still room for improvement though..hehe..

The reason am blogging is because I am procrastinating..this is how sad I can be when I had too much fun in a holiday...One more week till the uni starts again and I cant wait to head on my first ever holiday trip with my dearest and bestie...

Cheers and Happy Spring Holiday Everyone!

My Easter Break!!!

*BROAD SMILE*

I couldnt have said more to my Easter holiday this year! Not as usual for once, it was a BLAST and yet again, an unprecedented busy schedule for the month! Ouch to my studies!

It all started with the ALL-so-amazingly-FUN and CRAZY- LAW BALL of the year!!! Yes, it was my first time going to the ball and I had so much fun with my friends..But I would have to comment dat the music isnt dat great but that basically didnt bother me much and I jus had fun throughout the night! And as the clock strikes 12 on dat nite, Phey Shan turned 21!!! Massive!How great is that to celebrate ur birthday on such a great occasion..Dancing and partying with everyone..!! I for one will wana celebrate my 21st that way! 2+ months more and Janet Tham is gona be 21!!! Hehe...

~Me and the Gorgeous Birthday Girl~

And following the massive occasion are a series of catch ups and dinings at great places which then again filled up my schedule though I din get to really travel out this easter like some of my frens..nevermind i shall do dat mayb in Sept...

Despite all the fun, moi gota sacrifice some of her outings to study for MID SEMS :S How potong stim this can be to my easter...and when you are enjoying so much fun in d holiday, it will b such a torture to bring yourself to the library and start mugging ur way through..Oh well, what to do...I would say that am lucky enough to have both my MID SEMS spreaded over 2 weeks so at least i can have ample time to study for them..but seriously, am kinda worried abt my progress since I haven been working very hard on my studies for dis semester..Aiks! Am having too much fun edi!

SO SO SO ..have to really settle down..I guess i say dis in each and every of my post yet life can still be happening for me...Oh yea, submitted my admin assignment on d day of law ball itself..gosh...fingers crossed..I hope I did alrite and din screw it..if not, my law exams are gona b at risk again..

Dine at a really nice restaurant with Gezzel and Ching and surprisingly, the bill didnt burn a hole in my wallet...Hehe..check this out..

Sushi and Chopsticks NO???

Haha..U've been deceived by its looks..

Okok..I think that's it for now! Wish me luck for my MID SEMS!

TGIF! :)

Right, TGIF sounds so great and Janet Tham is feeling excited about it!

But wait a second, Janet Tham is not quite herself dis few weeks..not quite herself as a student who goes to uni..more like a student who is still on her summer vacation...BAD BAD BAD....even her bestie notice dat n start warning her not to ignore her studies...

Seriously, god knows y am so occupied these days..yea I've got the ILSS careers dinner to work on but i also have many many meet ups and outings to go do..and u ask how abt assignments and readings...erm erm...this..I yet to fit it into my diary..coz u jus dont wana look at it...

Proscratination plus outings >>> what can you get apart for unimpressive results in the end??

Mom is not gona be happie to know of my life now..and sis is starting to complain that am not working as hard as I should be...

So so ..yeayea..starting from this weekend, plz plz plz Janet Tham you have an assignment due before your much anticipated law ball and easter holz!

Frenzie plz remind me that!

And yes, am so busy till I havent got time to catch up with my dearest Sue Faye about her new home and ALL! Argh! So SORRY!!


*Life has to be more organised before it loses its grip*- this phrase is playing a more and more important role in reminding me of my studies and role as a student...Aiks!

Ritey, hope to get some studies done from now on!

Looking at the brighter side...

Hello People! Just thought that I should blog and inform everyone that I am back to my usual self and not being emo and frustrated anymore..

But then again, that blog make me realise that there are so many friends that actually care for me and thank you for all those comforting messages and sms :) Am totally fine now with all your love and blessings ;)

Nevertheless, my mood is still swinging around at times but dun worry, I will stay positive and be happy at all times.

Just finished my online exercise for Admin..ahh..reading statutes..quite boring actually..but thank god I've completed the module for the week.

Went for some retail therapy yesterday with sis and Irina and I would say am almost all set for the Law Ball am attending! Woohoo! That sets the party mood up but before that I will have to get through my law readings and assignments and commerce subjects arent being friendly as well..tough time!

Birthday parties are coming up each and every week and I wonder if I can cope with my studies if am gona appear in each and every birthday party..Anyways, will definately find time to have some fun outta the mundane study routine.. Hehe..

Till then! Cheers!

Apple Crumble..Yum Yum :P

Hehe..when I mention about apple crumble..u guys would probably think that I had had a great apple crumble dessert at some restaurant...Oh well, its not a restaurant this time but its a kitchen!

Yes! Its Janet's Home Kitchen..LOL

It was my first baking experience last Sunday and I decided to bake apple crumbles for myself as I din get to bake it with the girls on New Year's Eve..

And so, the baking turn out to be successful and I am so so Happy and Satisfied..Suddenly, there is a great achievement in me...Though I koe there is still a large room of improvement for my baking skills..but nvm, its a good start at least!

OKOK..Enough said, let the pictures do the talking..:)

Limited Edition Heart-shaped Apple Crumble

Haha..it is baked with LOVE <3

When its served...Hehe..Look so Professional right?

A closer look to the delicacy...Hehe..

Served it with cream and custard OR a scoop of Vanilla ice cream and am sure u will feel like 'Heaven' after eating it...Hehe..:)

Life's been good for me..Looking forward to a holiday outing but but sadly, no trip is planned yet! But I have been looking at travel websites all these while..hehe..Some places are just so amazing! So wana go!

Alritey, till then and enjoy ur visual Apple Crumble! Cheers!

Merry Christmas people!

Time passes really quickly and blink blink! Its Christmas again! Though I have been hearing several Christmas songs playing all around me and seeing Christmas decorations everywhere..Blur me stilll thinks that today its oni the 23rd of Dec 08..Oh God! To be precise, I cant believe that its the Wednesday of the week already...So so blur...

BUT But..this year I haven got much plans in celebrating Christmas or New Year...not that I was all so lonely and have no one to hang out with on the occasions..rather, I wanted some serenity for this year and celebrate it peacefully with my family..This year has been 'cyclical' if u get wut I mean, nvm if u dont and many things have happened..and I guess this year around..its really for me to take a rest and free myself from all the happenings..(but but I guess part of the inner me will still have the urge to party if my darling Sue Faye is back here..no companion to party la..haha)

So this time when I got back from Melbourne, I haven been rigorously planning for my outings and activities..but spend most of my time at home if am not required to work..so basically haven been to many places and shop stuffs for myself..will do it on Christmas day itself..as am going out with the girlies for a celebration..that's our routine for every year :) Oh! and I forgot to mention that Mom and I had actually witness the Christmas Parade back in November in Melbourne..so taking that into account, Christmas this year is not too bad for me actually! Hehe :)

Okok..pictures pictures..

An early Christmas in Melbourne & A Christmas back in Malaysia

So people! I will like to take this opportunity to wish each and everyone of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! And of coz, I wish that the boat will sail well and smooth for you in the much anticipated New Year :)

And the ball starts rolling~

Hmm..u may wonder what am referring to in my title~ Yea..it meant that Janet Tham is no longer free but tied to her work...

I would say that this holiday is very Interesting though everyone seems to be very busy leading their own lives..this is because everyone is doing their internship and sharing our experience with each other is SO FUN! ..haha..so like an adult person already..going out to work everyday..no more playing around like a small kid..Well I guess thats the turning point when u turn 20..our life is entering to another stage and everything will be different...

Just receive an email from my darling Sue Faye and it cheered my day!..yea..this time around it wouldnt be as fun without having my BESTIE around but nvm....though she is far away, I still feel her existence..cant wait for our SKYPING session coz it will be great! Good luck my DEAR!

Judgment day is approaching soon! OMG! Have been prayin hard these few days! NO matter what happens, I just wana PASS everything...PLZ PLZ plz...anything else would be a BONUS! ZOMG!

Cool down...cool down...*telling myself that everything will be fine*...

OKOK...just a lil update~More to come coz my bestie, Miz Ting is turning 20 dis SAT..and this means that its GIRLS OUTING again! Woohoo~ That will be the HIGHLIGHT of the week :)

Stay Tune and Happy Holidays to those who are having a sweetime enjoying themselves :)

Spring Fun!

Apparently if I do not update my blog more often, some1 is gona get me to shut the blog..LOL..Apologies for not blogging that often..the reason being is BUSY-ness + a little bit of SLACK-ness..haha

Yea yea..life has been very much like back in Malaysia...stayin at home during the week and anticipating for the Weekends! Wee~ But SAD, real SAD, I have an assignment due when uni starts and guess what am stuck at the argument bit..argh! Am alwis stuck! Y cant I just be better when it comes to writing assignmt..OKOK..shall not talk abt sadness..but FUN!

And so, I've been busy busy with I-Games, the sport event which am organising along with other international societies..no highlights on that yet but stay tune

Last sem, there was an agreement among 3 of us to spend a night with fine dining and good ambience to reward ourselves for the torturous OB subject....of coz the company is what thats

matters and so we headed to Docklands for a glam night dinner~Have been waiting for this day since the start of the semester and Finally...~LOL..

OKI..the concept of the food was something special..it is called the Churrascaria whereby you can eat as much as you want as the chef serves you personally at your table..Hmm..nice! Sounds like a VIP guest at the restaurant..and what else will compliment such a dinner best..of coz..it is no other than a bottle of CHAMPAGNE~ shud have gone for wine instead coz the dinner was all so meaty..the interesting part is that..we are given green and red cards which says 'More Please...' and ' No more...'..Haha..dis is a useful card..coz whenever Scott angers us we turn his card to 'No more' when food hasnt been served..LOL..

One night with great companion is all you need seriously..and if am earning Aussie, i will say that the dinner is cheap but of coz not when u start converting it to RM..hehe..nvm, holiday is meant for spending..ALritey, lets see what happened during our glam night..

Conditions:

The one who wins the bet treats- ME,

The one who is late and worst dressed treats- Scott aka Mr. Takeshi kononya~

The one who supposingly pay nothing mistype a SMS and cause confusion- So TREAT! LOL-

Miss Beh Siew Ying aka May

VIPS Invited:

~The Besties~

Along with the lucky guy that has 2 beauties to accompany him for the night..LOL~

And then the PUNISHMENT comes in Play: 'RED CARD!' ~ No food for U!

Well, GREEN CARD for ME Please...Hehe :P

When the food comes, No one could resist the good food !!

Look at the one with the corn cob..LOL..

ME ready with my cutleries~ Yum yum!

May smiling all the way with her food :)

Here comes the VIP treatment~

Ta-da! See how we are served our food personally by the chef!

Results: it was a great night with great companion *broad smile*

Cheers!

Justice Kirby!

Hehe..yesterday I was all so excited to attend the KIRBY LIVE Lecture exclusive only in the Melbourne Law School..haha...

Yea..Justice Kirby is one of the coolest High Court Judge of Australia..He is the idol of most law students and he even has a facebook! His is humorous..LoL..Just listening to his speech, you will get entertained! Sadly, Kirby J is going to retire soon..If am not mistaken, it will be next year :(

Oh well, thou I dont like reading judgments, I find Kirby's judgment sometimes very interesting and he alwis has his own reasoning..therefore, most of the time, I'd be reading his dissenting judgment..

And guess what guess what? Being a fan of his, I got his signature and took photos with him! Haha..people mus hav thought I gila gila sikit...y wana take photo with an old man? My bro is one good example and tease me with my lee hom experience *inner joke*..Haiyo, its normal for a law student lar, plus he is going to retire soon liao ma..next time no chance ler..and how often u get to be so close to a judge huh? LOL...i koe am crapping again~ :P

So relaxing la dis few days thou i koe i hav tons of readings to catch up..haiyo, spring ma...plus i hav many amazing plans comin up..woo~River Cruise is the first event! and am all so ready for the event..cant wait! (p.s free flow of champagne! wee~)

Oh..can I not emphasize this even more? I <3 my law frens! haha..dont ask me why...they are just amazing..in case commerce people gets jealous, I <3 u too!

OKOK...in the court, we talk all about evidence and proof and here is the proof of ME meeting personally with Justice Kirby! Hehe..

p.s: oh oh, Justice Kirby actually brought his own camera to take photos with us as well!

Haha..so cool right?

See the crowd of gals around him..LOL..macam celebrity only!

Happy Birthday to My Sis! :)

'Passion is the survival of life, as long as its not at the expense of happiness '

Totally agree with it and thanks may for picking up such a wonderful phrase from the newspaper :)

Wanted to start this post with a very meaningful phrase instead of wishing my sis HAPPY BIRTHDAY! LOL...

Its been a super busy week for me..and when I look at my calender..it reminds me of how busy my coming days would be..Not stressing out or feeling tiring in anyway, in fact, Im feeling happier and enjoying life as the day goes by..despite I have a 133 pages of case awaiting for me to digest it very soon..argh!

Life has been really good for me lately ..mayb because life in Melbourne is getting alike with life in Malaysia.. But that doesnt mean that am doing extremely well in studies...argh! Yea..many many argh! Coz I jus cant get work done..and there are piling up bit by bit..Oh well...

Anyway, this is supposed to be a cheerful post and not for me to talk about academics..hehe..so mayb then..some pics will add some colors to my lil post here~

ME and my sis :)

The photos are filled with happiness and just looking at the strawberry chocolate dip..dont you feel like having some too? HEHE.. :)

ps: Karma has been doing a very good job lately~ in a good sense of coz :)

pps: I have very good team mates for DR I would say..hehe..Hope we do well in our negotiation plan and good luck for those with contracts take home exam :)

Olympics in da mood :)

Swim..Swim...Swim..

Wut an awesome swimming squad that Australia has for its women's team.

Just finish watchin the Women's 200m Freestyle Relay replay on channel 7 and I just cant stop smiling when I witness the team finish the line and cheer for their victory. Stephanie Rice, especially, was super-hyper and proud of her team..and of coz, congrats Rice for winning her 3rd Olympic gold medal :)

I feel so refreshing afta watchin the event..Afta all, the pool is the place to be for me..since that's the best sport I could do..How i wish I was sent for training when I was young and maybe I will have the chance to win medals for myself..of coz..I wudnt be as great as Rice..she is jus so talented in swimming..haha..i koe am day-dreaming again :)

Oh oh..and and..Eamon Sullivan (who happens to be Rice's ex) of the Australian men's team is doing really good as well..maybe not a gold medal..but a silver medal is just as good...and I read a piece of news abt one of the contestant from XXX country, better not mention , who apparently swims very slow and his reason being is that he doesnt wana beat his partner in the heat..then there is comparison as to the great swimmers speed with his..then he told the media: 'please wait and you are going to see me swim tomorrow with a difference'..oh well..am really curious abt how fast he can go..haha..okla, not dat i swim very fast..but the comparison they made was really funny..and bac to Sullivan, I particularly love this pic of his...woosh! What a good shot, so yeng :)

And the Olympics opening ceremony was really impressive apart from the disappointing news of the sweet little girl mimicking the voice of another gal who appears to be not so presentable in her look..but well, u cant judge one by her face yea..*shakes head*

Anywayz, I would say that China really did a good job in its preparation and as I mentioned before, many effort has been put in..:)

Ooh..before I end the post..just some Olympic agony photos..but come to think of it, will dis pic ruin my post about all the awesome bits of Olympics? Haha...nvm...just thank god that this athelete didnt hit himself..If not,..its really great agony then..

Alritey, ADD OIL to all participants of the Beijing Olympic dis year..many many more gold medals to be won! Will update soon abt it..and China seems to be leading the medal tally! Dominating huh?
