noted a tiny error in the date of the commencement of my Masters degree modules... it should be 20 July not August. Small good news in relation to this is that I was successful in my STEP application for funding of $7500 for this financial year... so now that the degree has commenced, my nights both weekdays and weekends are pretty much working on my online postings, reading the never-ending journals (I think I have approx 100 articles waiting to be read atm and counting)... maybe that's why I have been sick with a cold for the last 2 weeks... got better after the first week but now it's back again... and I have been off sick for like 2 days already in the last 2 weeks...
anyway, my birthday month yay! it would be alot better if I am NOT sick with the cold and not studying pretty much every night... anyway... what do u do... 8 August 2015- went to play our second attempt at room escape at Enigma room and it was SO much better than the one at Kingsford... the puzzles were really creative and we successfully got out with about 1.5 mins to spare... after that, went to Marga's new place to play Wii... we better be careful, becos it is looking like we are getting hooked to another 'ghost-catcher' game in addition to the candy game... 9 August- HAppy National Day Singapore! did not watch the parade live cos pongie and I were at the Hunter Valley... beautiful day... went to try this new dessert bar called Sabor at the Hunter, got overexcited at all the choices and ordered 4 different desserts to try, and we were so sick after, the mousse was not the best and we did not even finish the food in the end... went to a few wineries, bought some wine and pongie's cheese, and of course, went for our spa massage, it was really nice... the only thing that would make it better would be that they had separate showers, cos it was not the easiest to shower with only one hose and 2 people, and a time limit... but the place was BEAUTIFUL... would not mind going back to the spa again... and accommodation was also pretty nice... and we saw kangaroos as well... breakfast was abit disappointing this time, becos it was not packaged and we decided to save some money... 10 August- day off... unpacked, and watched the replay of the parade...
anyway... nothing much exciting, other than Papa coming for the next 2 weeks... until the 22 August for the work celebration and then my actual birthday at work... we are ordering pizza for lunch... and then hopefully the dinner at Karen's is still going ahead... the only thing is that throughout my special month, I have to keep working on the assignments due at the end of the month and in Sept... :(
