Hiya!

I’ve been pretty busy lately … work, school and EXERCISING! Haha!

Yes, i just started working. For those who have been for any of the Supply Chain Asia Forums, you probably would have met Darryl Judd. Yup, he offered me an internship at Logistics Recruitment (now known as Logistics Executive) It’s basically somewhat like a recruitment agency, finding suitable candidates for suitable jobs. I work on Tuesdays, before school, and Wednesdays, Thursdays after school. Well, i haven’t been doing much at work. For the first day, I learned how to answer phone calls and diverting them to other people. That was because they were trying to get the computer fixed for me, getting me an account..etc. On the second day, i helped Matthew, the manager from Sydney, to look for suitable candidates in the database. On the third day, i was taught how to add new resumes into the database. Not much, but it was definitely interesting:) Oh … the Melbourne office is pretty small. There’s Sandy, Peter, Vicki (the manager, who is on long leave), Rosie (who is on maternity leave) and Angela (another intern). I would say the people there are really nice and easy going. So, it makes work more fun aye.

So, other than work, there’s school uni. (haha, i’m not used to this). Assignment have been piling up and this week, i’ve got 3 assignments due, CONSECUTIVELY! But anyway, I’m almost done with all of them. I shan’t talk about school, i’ll be boring you.

Exercise! HUGE topic. For starters, i’ve gained 2 KGs ever since i got here. It must be the college desserts! Seesh … but I find it really hard to pass them. Anyway, i’ve been jogging at princess park, Mondays and Saturdays. Hopefully, i’ll be able to squeeze in Wednesday mornings. Oh, over dinner today, PK was educating Stella and I on how to loose fat. Haha! So, he was saying that it’s good to exercise in the morning before breakfast because when we’re sleeping, our carbo gets “digested” so, in the morning, there’s little carbo and more fat to burn! Well, something along those lines. Haha … Also, i’ve came up with a diet plan!

1. Milo- 2 cups/week (I use to have them like 2 times a day. Who can resist a hot drink call?)
2. Dessert- 3 times/week
3. 1/2 portion of fries (We get fish and chips every Friday)
4. Jog 2 times a week, 2 rounds round princess park (Stella says it’s 3.2k/round)
5. Snacks= FRUITS!

That’s all i have on my list. Any suggestions? … anyone

Week 5, I met up with Huiying and Jean for dinner .. ahhh .. familiar faces … we had the best ice cream ever! Ooo…Fredo’s roche … ahhh … nothing can beat that!

Kor kor also invited me over for dinner He cooked baked pasta … yes … guys nowadays CAN cook! And i bought ready made apple crumble … not bad at all..

Other than that, college tutorials and hockey training starts this week as well…

Week 6, i attended the college council dinner on Wednesday. It started with pre-drinks at 6 (don’t worry, i drank 3 cups of orange juice instead to champaign and wine) and then , we had dinner at 7, which was Thai pumpkin soup, steak (the best one ever tasted so far at college) mash potato and tomatoes. Dessert was something like berry crumble? something like that. Delicious! Oh, we had a platter of cheese after that as well. I was placed on the BEST table ever! No parents, No adults! Seriously, the best table! Yeah, it was a fun/funny night.
