Saturday begins with the journey to find a famous pan mee at kota damansara for brunch. Although we ended up with aunty nat at hartamas.... hahaha... (next time we'll bring a GPS)
Then, the crazy idea of going to Aquaria KLCC....
First time to Aquaria KLCC in my life.
Queue is long but bearable...
The Aquaria itself is not too big but the sharks and the XL size fish do amazed me....
And then we decided to go to Subang SS15 Snowflake before going back.
Guess who i met there.. Dr Chua and Dr Lim!!!!! hahahahhaa..
Who knows we'll bump into someone there? hahaha...
plus its someone all the way from Batu Pahat.. hahahaha...
was chatting non stop with Dr Chua for almost an hour...
from baby delivering to her coach bag.. haha...
After the hi tea session, we again rush to Klang for another steamboat session...
First time eating the traditional batu arang style of steamboat...
never seen these types of steamboat in KL..
The day ended with mamak session at Sec 7 Shah Alam...
Sunday begins with my alarm at 530am.
It is the walkathon day.
Hunger Relief Walk.
My first walkathon in the city.
Or i should say, my first walkathon ever.
We reach Padang Merbok, KL around 720am.
Breakfast is KFC Colonel Burger and Pizza Hut's garlic bread.
Walkathon begins at 830am.
Luckily is a walkathon and not jogathon.
hahahaha.... sweating but not breathless is not a bad thing after all....
it had been a long time since i walk so much....
life in KL is just walking to the parking lot....
It's not a long walk though, the whole journey took only around 35 mins.
Went back with Ayamas chicken rice...
Its a weekend full of activity.
Too bad we didn't bring along a camera all the way...
:)
Fun. Lotsa fun.

Last day in UTS
From Left: Caroline Dobson, Eleanor Resciniti, me, Carole Fawcett and Lakmali Dias.Yesterday was my last day in UTS School of Finance and Economics.
Have been working there for almost half year.
Taught me a lot abt the Australian office culture and their culture itself.
Imagine working sharp at 9am and leave sharp at 5pm.
No OT, no extra work.
Imagine drinking wine while eating thai food.
Using UTS credit card to pay for my farewell lunch at Capital Thai.
Eleanor taught me a lot of things.
She's really nice and patient.
She always treat me some aussie mentos "XXX" during late afternoon when everyone starts to feel tired on the workload.. haha..
Caroline just joined us from Bloomberg weeks ago.
She's a funny mother of a 7 months old baby...
Carole is my school manager. She is the one who approves my payslip every week... I'll definitely miss the time when i have to hand in my time sheet and check my bank account during the pay day every fortnight..
Lakmali is another nice lady from Sri Lanka.. Imagine that she is already a grandmother of two grandkids. She used to make warm apple vinegar drink for me whenever she heard me coughing during work.
Bye bye to my first office job.
in an Australian office culture.

First exam supervision.
Did my first exam supervision last night.
Well... what can i say about this first time experience?
Last week, Lakmali (one of the staff who was in charge in the exam supervision thingie) asked me whether I'm interested in doing some exam supervision during the mid term exam week when i was working in the school office.
Well....
1. I've never done any exam supervision before.
2. It sounds interesting coz not much ppl get to do it.
3. and..... $$$ matters.
Of course i say yes!
hahaha..
Anyway,
after having a busy working day in the morning.... plus a very late sleep the day before...
Imagine cutting number cards for a few subjects for the whole morning...
photocopying exam papers... (imagine hundred of students)
and key in some assignments marks... (imagine few hundred copies)
plus running my regression until some 1am the night before...
It was a bit tired.
The exam starts at 6pm and luckily it was a 2 hours subject.
I never knew that doing exam supervision can be that boring.
Imagine walking around, standing, doing nothing for 2 hours.
Never knew 2 hours can be that long.
But funny things do happen.
There is a student who asked me whether she can use pencil or pen for question 4..
1st thing to clarify is that... I've no idea what paper she is doing.
And who cares it's pen or pencil?
hahahahahaa...
but, to make sure...i do read through the instruction on the cover sheet....
before i told her that you can use whatever you like! hahaha..
for your information, it was a postgraduate masters subject midterm exam..
Luckily it seems to be an easy paper as people starts to leave their seats 45 mins before the exam ends. and when the clock ticks at 8pm, there was only around 10% of the students left sitting in the hall.. so we didn't really take up much time on picking up the papers... i left the exam hall with one of the lecturer and a phD student who was also supervising with all the exams paper sheets.... it took about 15 mins to walk back the office from the exam hall.... so we kinda like chitchatting along the way... it's kinda weird to chat with a lecturer n a phD student on the way... hahahha... and the topic was... masters course in sydney and US, the lecturer was a US graduates. and the topic was initiated by the questions from the phD student on why were there so many chinese student taking masters but only like less than 10% angmos doing it? hahaha..... i did the counting when walking around the exam hall.... its was around 25 angmos doing the exams in a hall with 240 students. and half of them are chinese, and the other half are indians....
well.... maybe.... sydney is just another asian city?
I have another exam supervision on wednesday night. 6-9pm.
and my own mid term paper is on friday 6pm.
