What have I been Up To – Part III
Heh, I thought I would only split this post into 2 parts but seems like there needs to be a part 3 now. Oh well…
Now see, oh lol… I’m starting to sound like my lecturer. =P He has this habit of starting of his sentences with ‘Now see…’ whenever he answers our questions. >.< And we always try to imitate him.
Um, where was I? I’ve blogged about the dinner, the trip, the party… Ooohh… Now the ice skating!!!! Yay!!! I love ice skating. Not that good at it and I was like the slowest skater amongst them all (those who knew how to skate anyway). But I would in my defence say that I did not get that much of an opportunity to skate anyway when I was in Malaysia since KK does not have an ice rink =( (argh, when are we gonna get one????). Everyone was like wheezing around the rink and Tony even did some stunts. *Sigh* I’m so envious. Wish I could skate like that. Got some pointers that night on how to skate backwards and gosh, it was funny trying it out because I couldn’t move at first and then not much after that. Haha…… practise practise. Since it was a Saturday night, it was disco night at the ice arena. So cool, all the lights and music.
We started off at the kiddies section to help Affy and Lisa get the hang of things and then it was off to the big rink to race each other. Affy and Lisa were really quick learners and super brave to try things out on their own so quickly. Although I was surprised at first that Lisa wasn’t already a good skater. I thought coming from S. Korea, one would spend most winters at the nearest ice rink (I know I would anyway) =P.
And today, or yesterday since it’s past midnight, I went to this artist fair on Whitmore Square. I am so glad that I went. Saw lots of interesting stuff and finally met the artist whose paintings I so like. First saw them at the Urban Cow Studio last year and I immediately love her bubbly, bright drawings. There are all so cute and adorable. Perfect for a children’s book. We even got our portraits painted!!! Wee…
It was so worth it. There were quite a number of stalls on display with lovely artworks from normal to bizarre. We also signed up for free workshops. I went for Felt toy making!!! I’ve always seen these handmade toys for sale at art shops and they’re so expensive. Now I get to make my own for free!!! =) Happy day.
Oh well, it was a great week. I can’t believe that I had only just finished exams 5 days ago. It felt like a week at least, and we managed to cram in so many activities in the space of a few days. All the movie nights and just plain hanging out together. I’m not surprised I totally zoned out a few hours ago. I probably needed that rest. I hope things would start to slow down a bit starting next week since people are starting to leave now leaving only those who’re from Adelaide to ‘make do’. I’ll be staying here till January and I hope (for my sake??) that the weather would be kind to me. It has been pretty cool these few days, like 13 – 16 degrees which is annoying since I packed my winter stuff and was all set to wear shorts and thongs…
Ooh… last but not least. I finally got this: =)
Hehe…. Had my interview like in the middle of exams which was freakish since I was fretting about my time being used up but having to wait around with all the other candidates. The interview process was an experience all right. First time I had such a big group interview, I think there were at least 30 of us and omg, the minute I walked into the room I was like ‘Oh no… what have I gotten myself into?’. I stood out like I never did before in all the time I was here in Adelaide. Seriously, there were all Caucasians and there was just me and another asian girl in the room and she was aussie born anyway. It was only then that I realised I’ve never actually seen any asian working in any of the Cotton On stores (well, in Adelaide anyway). But I told myself to not think about looking like an idiot and just relax (haha..). We had to talk to the group about why we want to work at Cotton On and why they should also employ the person sitting next to us (O_O). It was definitely scary and I was so glad that I got the job. =) Gonna be working as a Christmas Casual at their store during the Christmas period and I’m really looking forward to it. I have no experience at all in retail so it’ll be cool to see how things are run. Really hope I won’t make a muck of things when I’m there and best thing is, we get 30% discount at any of the Cotton On Group stores. Yay!!!
More pictures up in facebook.
