Least Expected

Ah, i haven't posted in awhile (again) .. 
Exam week is just a few days from now and to be honest, I've never been this nervous before.
Maybe it's because I've skipped a lot of lectures in the last months of the trimester.
Couldn't be bothered to go to lectures when I ended up half asleep in the lecture theater anyway.

What's on my scheduler next week ...
 
I'm taking 4 subjects this trimester which means 4 exams are waiting for me. 
The first one is Business Communication, followed by Marketing Research, Human Resource Development and Consumer Behaviour
The only good thing about my exam dates is that I will be finished 2 days before the exam week period ends, so I get 2 extra holi-days! 





I just opened my email and saw an Email from Flickr and they invited me to license one of my picture. Apparently, someone is interested to buy the picture I have on my Flickr (!!)
I was thrilled ! 
I don't know if I'm going to make money out of it but I think it's worth a try so I signed up to be a Getty Image contributor and give a license for that one photo.
There were a lot of papers to sign, with all the conditions and rules, etc. I hope I'm doing the right thing because the agreement is a legal binding document (putting my Business Law cap on) so if I did something wrong, I'm screwed o_o
Oh, and I just bought my first Flickr Pro account so I probably will start to upload photos again on my Flickr. 

-------------

I can't wait till exam period is over! I'm going to buy new shoes as soon as possible, and probably a few summer dresses as a special treat for myself (just another excuse to shop). 
It's really weird to I find myself wandering around ASOS's dresses section when I'm known to be the girl who wear t-shirts and jeans everyday. Haha. Well, I'm a girl anyway.. No matter how tomboy I am, there are times when I want to wear something different .

I will be going to Gold Coast with my friends too :) 
Which is really exciting! But I don't think I will wear any swimsuit,
thanks to the pre-exam stress snacking and eating galore. Hah.
And I'm definitively can't wait to go back to Indonesia for 2 months!

challenge accepted!

Greetings :)
Yesterday was a very fun and also tiring day.
I had Human Resource Development class at 11 in the morning and 2 groups did their training session and we learn how to fold napkins and also ... line dancing! ha!
The napkin folding team had a competition at the end and I became the champion of napkin folding and received tons of Mars bars. haha
The training sessions are assignment for this subject, where we have to plan, arrange and perform a training session with different topics for each group. My group will be doing ours in the next 4 weeks and we got balloon animal as our topic which is really difficult to explain... zz

It was raining when I went to the gym after class and a dog jumped on me, leaving its mud covered paw prints all over my jumper and jeans (didn't take a picture of the jumper, sorry!). Lucky that dog was cute... or I will be really pissed off

Good thing I brought my gym clothes, so I changed afterwards.
The gym appointment went really well, the trainer gave me a customized program that I have to follow (for free!). I was a bit nervous because he added the weight on the leg press machine. I usually do it at 15kg but he said I have to do it at 20kg, just because .. I can (strong!)
I heard that for a female, we don't need the machines to be too heavy, we just need to add more repetition to get lean muscles. If we make it heavier, we will end up having bulky muscles which is really unflattering for a girl in my opinion.
I told the trainer that and he said I must trust him. If I end up with bulky muscles, he will be my personal trainer for free. Haha! We pinky sweared over this!
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

I did a little bit of exercise after my gym appointment and I followed all the things in my program. And then I had Zumba at 7.15. SUPER TIRED, as usual.
I don't know if it's good or not to eat after gym, but my friends and I ended up at Subway, eating. haha! There's this one Asian guy (I think he was born here, looking at his English) who works there, he was nice, and he talks in a really friendly manner, but his expression was really flat! Such a poker face o_o
Dude, smile.

My friend D introduced us to a lot of drinking games yesterday! I was really slow at guessing how to games work but I did understand them all in the end, yeyy for me not being so stupid! 
Next Saturday's sleepover will be sooooo muuucchh fun!

ciao!

Great Weather, Boring Activities

Hello everyone,
I must say I loveeeeee today's weather!
It was bright and sunny. Another perfect day to go out and have a picnic..
But instead I stayed at home. Lame as usual.


In the morning (8am!) I attended my Business Communication tutor and had my group presentation. I'm not a 100% satisfied with the performance but I felt ok, I think we did a pretty good job delivering the information. Good thing that the tutor class only have 8 students (including me and my team members of 3, so that makes it 4 people as the audience), so I wasn't really nervous.
We had to wear formal clothes and I only wore a black midi dress with a thin waist belt while the other girls wear blazers and really nice shirts. bummer.
They looked really professional while I looked like I was going to church -_-'

After class, I went home straight away. I was planning to go to the gym, but I forgot to bring my running shoes so.. no gym for today.
The sun was shining, I was happy, and my bed looks really tempting, so I took a nap, with my curtains open, letting me soak those glorious sunshine. Yes, I love sleeping under the sunshine.
But I don't like to get tan. Like, I don't go to the beach to tan myself, I'm already dark o_o
It was a really good 3 hour (!?) nap.


Then I made myself a sandwich for lunch with a French roll bread I got from the bakery I'm working at.
For me, the sandwich was somehow healthy because I used different veggies and no meat, just cheese and butter but it sure tasted pretty damn good to me!
I would love to have a press-grill/toaster like the ones they use in cafes. So much quicker and efficient for toasting! 
[French roll bread with butter, cheese, baby spinach, tomatoes, button mushrooms, and cucumer]


And I spent the rest of the day infront of my laptop.. Writting my other assignments, watched Running Man and Nigella Lawsons recipes on Youtube. That's pretty much everything for today :)
Hope tomorrow will be better!
Uh oh. I have a gym appointment tomorrow.
