Back!

Almost a week since I last blogged.

Come to think about it, not sure what I have been busy with, except for the brain-tangling ed psych essay which I am finally done with!!! What a relief. It is officially my last assignment for the semester and I can rest easy. Ok Ok...there's exams but revision can wait! Haha

Memorable moments this week:

1. Accompanying my grandpop for his radiation treatment. This week was my first time with him at the centre and emotions inevitably welled up. I didn't cry but felt a bit sad to see my bestest friend having to make his daily trips to NCC for treatment. But he's such a role model. His spirit is still going strong and for his age, his perserverance is commendable! I have so much to learn from grandpop. His throat is feeling more sore this week and treatment has gone into 2nd phase (zero in on tumor) yet he's always determined to rise above the discomfort and carry out his daily routines as far as possible. I know and I sense his weariness (mentally) but his fighting spirit is evident. Thank God for His grace thus far. I believe grandpop will be good. Anyhow, I'm always thankful to have him as my grandpapa - someone whom not many can match up to. I'm blessed.

Handsome, charming Grandpop and radiant me!

Had lunch at this Jap place in Central. Yummy curry udon.

2. Rugby final session - carnival cum tournament. Wow my team was TOPS! (from the bottom). Hehe..we lost almost, erm actually EVERY of the 4 games we played. Unbelievable. Nevertheless, we were still happy and more importantly we had fun. What will I remember of rugby lessons henceforth? Hmmmm.....tough to answer. Haha.....THE PEOPLE! (politically correct answer)

My ruggie team - ITALY. Supposed to be decked in blue but

we became blue-black!

My ruggie class together with Tom Brown, my lecturer.

3. Had a crab feast at the renowned Melbourne coffee shop at AMK with a few of my classmates, followed by a 3hr session of prawning. I had fun though I kind of burn a huge hole in my pocket from that one evening! Well well...good memories are priceless so heck with the $$$$! Oooohhhh...prawning was a test of my patience and I think fishing or prawning really not my kind of activities. But the experience was cool. Must try fishing next although I don't think I can sit still waiting for the fishy :)

Unforgettable the taste! The other highlight was the crab bee hoon

which I didn't kodak it. Must eat to believe how good it is.

My 1st attempt at prawning and I caught 1.

4. Doing my ed psych essay 3 days before deadline. Firstly, I underestimated the level of difficulty of this assignment. It turned out to be so much harder than I thought. Secondly, it was my first time starting on a 2500 word essay so late! I usually would start a week earlier but not this time. But amazingly, I was able to stay cool. Maybe I have learn to take things in my stride. Good! Nevertheless, it was a 'painful' writing experience! Psychology in its essence - confusion, confusion and more confusion! The more I write, the more I don't know what I'm writing. Oxymoronic? Yes! Very much so!

All said and done!
Now looking forward to my Batam getaway next week!
More updates then...
