Weekly update: 1st day of Oct

Updates of the week that passed:
Another long week had passed and Monday (2 Oct) is a holiday over here in Sydney. Finally an extra day to catch my breath.. Tough week, with work piling up and little time to clear all of them. Appraisals were provided by managers and Staff Development Managers (SDM) met up for their quarterly meeting to decide whether if there is any exceptional staff that deserve to be promoted in Dec.

Very satisfied with appraisals provided (over here, we have to self-appraise ourselves before the managers/seniors gave their opinions) but kept losing motivation to continue to work hard day by day. Enuff said on this, let's focus on the fun things that happen outside work. Haha.. the fun stuff that I would like to keep as fond memories and things that may mislead pple that life in Sydney is GREAT, FUN and WONDERFUL.. haha..

More fanciful, delicious lunch boxes courtesy of my beloved wife:
Look and let your saliva drools... =p





(Fried rice with fried chicken and shredded egg - both healthy and delicious!)










(fanciful lunch box that is good to see and eat!)




(my favourite tomato rice wrapped in egg and sweet corn sushi and fruits too!)


Hmm, envious once again ya.. haha.. but hor, I also did cook for my wife la. Simple breakfast on Sunday morning.. Should be quite healthy spread ya: Pancakes, hash brown, egg and bacon + milo..


Not much traveling done this weekend as I have to catch up on my CA sudies as the focus session is in less than 2 weeks and we have to do lots of self studies and 'homework' so as to participate during the sessions and earn points. Also have to start with the project that we have to finish in abt 4 weeks' time. Not easy ya. Believe that it is same for everyone working and studying. Will grind my teeth and get through it. Am conscious that it would be a waste if my life over here is all work and study. Traveling is on top of my agenda. Thus, lots of proper planning and discipline is needed. Let's hope that I can update this page with more traveling and sightseeing. =p

Haircut:

Old me: (long fringe a.k.a ah beng hairstyle)














New me: (after a $20 hair cut at a Korean salon) - pure Korean look.. haha..

(basically, i did not ask for this haircut. It was plain miscommunication as I asked to leave my fringe alone.. but in the end, I just let the hairdresser do what she feels it good lo.. after all, it's time for me to change my boring hairstyle)



Mooncake festival:
It is gg to mooncake festival pretty soon and to make ourselves feel more at home, we bought mooncakes. Lots of variety in a box - durian, lotus paste, sesame and pandan flavour.


Which one is good? I miss the ones made by my mum of coz.. haha.. also the icy skin ones... with chocolate flavour..


That's all for the updates this week... More pictures of the blooming flowers on display in Sydney in Spring - courtesy of the photography skill of Hazel.... Enjoy!
