[SUITED UP AND BAREFOOT] SI SIGNORE WITH THE SOMBRERO

I know that Oscar has been waiting for these photos eagerly (and now maybe angrily too). This previous term we had to take this HOTS class - nothing hot about it really; it's this nerve-wrecking hotel simulation that we had to run as a group, and there were reports due every second week. As painful as it was, we made some new friends and (kind of) have a couple of fond memories, such as this awesome spontaneous burrito night we held after getting a distinction for one of our reports (which in the end got put down to a credit because we blew our capital expenditure budget). Our fierce South American team members Oscar and Andres were keen to teach us girls how to properly make, roll and eat burritos - that is, with shitloads of guacamole, beer and dancing. We even filmed a burrito rolling tutorial.

Can't deny Mexican food is hella fun, although I still don't get the difference between tacos, burritos and fajitas. But I know that I do love the guacamole haha. Grrrrracias signorrrres!

[SUITED UP] F FOR CROWD CONTROL

ICMS End of term party, September 2 2011 at Sable @ Manly Novotel

I kind of believe the new venue for our end of term party contributed much to its success, but shit was it mad. These are just some of the funnier photos - click over to my [b][l][o][o][m][i][n][g] [s][u][n][d][a][y] blog to check out the whole collection. If you remember me catching you with my cam you can be quite sure that your pic is on there; it just took me two days to edit the 110 photos.

Happy term break x

[SUITED UP] FUTURE LEADERS: HOW WE DRESS, WHAT WE DRINK, HOW WE PLAY

I know everyone's been waiting for these very eagerly. Sorry for the delay.

This was the final dinner for our Contemporary Leadership course, which turned out to be preeeetty fun. If this spirit keeps up our End of Term dinner is gonna be the fricken shiiiet.
We all had to do a community service project for our assessment, and film it. I remember how I was sitting there, 2 hours before due time, using iMovie for the first time, hoping that I wouldn't mess up the whole affair. And we won second prize, how sick is that? I got a new pair of shoes with my gift card.

Again congratulations guys, I hope you'll lead the way!

[SUITED UP] SMOKIN'

Phong and Chenchen on their cigarette break.
Btw Phong wears awesome shit to uni too. Ladies, watch out.

[SUITED UP] NOW WE TALKIN' BUSINESS

One of the cool things about going to a business college is that you get to wear business attire. Maybe most of the locals found it quite lame as they had to wear uniform at school, but our college has recently freed us from the uniform suits and allows us to wear our own now. Which is hot - don't we all love guys in suits? And we girls are quite lucky with our endless options of pants and skirts and blazers and shirts and blouses and heels and god knows what else. I myself am quite into blazers and suit pants when it comes to fashion anyway, so it suits me ha.

So after a few (short) weeks of break it was time to get the awesomeness ready again. (Barney from How I Met Your Mother says suits are awesome so they are. End of discussion.)

One of my tailored suits and shirts. Good thing to be Asian. 

(Agent Ninetynine canvas bag. This was only for day one though. Can't afford to run around with such a small bag at college; I'd be carrying all my shit and probably fall over) 

As for stationery, I just got a few 70 cents notebooks from Coles (we already think in a very economical way hey Nicola) and recycled my massive orange folder that I haven't been using since term 1 (considering that I'm in term 6 now, that's been sitting in the box collecting dust for quite some time. And illustrates how organised the other terms were). Speaking of recycling, my pencil case is one of my Sabre cases. I friggen have to stop losing my sunnies.

[BAREFOOT] FAST FIVE - LAST DAY BEFORE NEW TERM ACTIVITIES

1- Catching up with some reading in bed with my favourite chocolate

2- Reorganise my wardrobe

3- Stroll around Manly Food and Wine Festival

4- Join Irina's crew's barbecue

(Sorry at the barbecue everyone was too busy eating so we didn't take proper pictures)

5- Go see George at Hemingway's with the girls
Again sorry it was too dark there to take photos - I'll make more effort next time because it's my new favourite bar in Manly; it's in the process of becoming Irina's and my local hangout spot.


It was an adorable summer-like Sunday and I couldn't believe the new term started the next day; the holidays were just way too short. The annual Food and Wine Festival had quite a bit of luck with the weather though, and I had great fun people-watching and enjoying the amazing artists playing all over the streets - check [b][l][o][o][m][i][n][g] [s][u][n][d][a][y] for more photos!
