I'm so looking forward to the mid year break. Although I still have to work on my research, at least I don't have to worry about any other assignments. No need to go for lectures, no presentations, no essays for 5 weeks! Faster come, faster! Can't wait!
The coming 2 weeks are going to be crazy! So many stuff piling up. All need to be completed within the 2 weeks. Sometimes I wish I had exams and tests instead. Then I don't have to do anything during the term and only study last minute for exams (I'm not a good role model, I know. :p). *sigh*
644 - 3 essays
614 - 3rd assignment + research proposal + proposal presentation
658 - seminar presentation + research proposal
Haven't started on any of these yet. T_T
Somemore, the weather is not helping at all! Everyday is so gloomy, wet and cold. My biggest task everyday is keeping myself away from the bed. Every time when I try to do some work, I'll find myself laying comfortably on my bed, under the duvet. *sigh*
I really need to start doing something!
OK, stop blogging and start reading for monday's quiz.

Had dinner at LoneStar for the first time with some of my coursemates. I had a small serving of lamb shank which includes 2 lamb shanks, a large scoop of mashed potatoes and a medium-sized bowl of salad. The mashed potatoes were really good! There were some crispy strips (don't really know what it is or what it is called) on the plate which were really, really tasty. The lamb shanks, to me, were alright, not particularly good or anything. I'm not really a fan of lamb anyway. Just thought it would be a waste not having tried a proper lamb meal in NZ. For the lamb shank, you can either have the small or large serving. I opted for the small serving coz someone told me that their servings are actually quite big. Even so, I couldn't finished it. The portion was huge! I was so super full! I practically have to force the second lamb shank down my throat! -_-"
The dinner cost me $25 which I think would be quite reasonable if you can share it with someone. I couldn't finish it alone so quite wasting. I managed to finish one and a half lamb shanks, barely touched the salad and there was still some mashed potatoes left on my plate. I didn't want to takeaway the leftovers coz it just feel weird. Hehe. At first, I was actually contemplating on whether to have the full serving or the small serving. Thank God, I didn't go with the full serving! Otherwise, it would have been worse! A few of us had lamb shank while the rest had salmon, fish, chicken, pork ribs etc. Their portions weren't that big compared to the lamb shank. Weird.
Anyway, I had a great dinner and great time hanging out with my coursemates. A good opportunity to get to know my coursemates better. *wink*
So ya, I had my first proper lamb meal in NZ and I am...satisfied! That makes another tick on my checklist of the must-do things in NZ before I leave. Hehe. ^_^

Shopping is fun!
Shopping makes me forget about all the work that is piling up..
Shopping makes me feel happy especially when I get something I like or I've always wanted at a really good deal..
Shopping is good exercise (walking is a type of exercise, ok!)..
Shopping is a really good stress therapy!
And I think it's good to reward yourself once in awhile. :D
...look at the flower!! Sooo pretty!..
