Happenings
7:47 PM
Feels like ages since I last blogged but summer here has been so amazing that it leaves me with hardly any time to myself at all. And that's just the way I like it. I'm still hunting down a job but it's so hard to find one here. Am thinking of reinventing my CV coz by the looks of it, mine might be a tad dull... We'll see how that one goes. Just the other day I went around distributing job application forms to all the university libraries, from the Davies Law Library to the Fine Arts Library and the Engineering Library and about ten other libraries. Apparently library jobs receive about a couple of hundred applicants a year! Bummer! Searching online is a pain in the rear coz people hardly reply. I guess with job applications, patience is a virtue so let the patience begin.
Apart from that, everything has been smooth sailing. I move out of this lavish Uptown Apartment in a week and into yet another uni residence like place with communal kitchens and communal showers. But i am still going to hunt around to see if i can get a better place. Uni has been fulfilling. Friends have been evolving. A mix of good times and some bad times... All in all, things are pretty much at a good balance right now...
enjoying the waves at Long Bay with Jie Huei and Jason.
and finally, to end, my favorite picture of me and akash at his bday dinner =)

Me, Priya and Shanika while they shopped for Akash's presents last week. I love hanging out with these people coz it's so different from the usual posse of friends that I have. And difference is always a good thing.
Because I, at present, have complete authority over one of the bestest kitchens in Auckland, I have been experimenting with my love for baking even more! I baked these chocolate walnut muffins for Akash's 21st. And they turned out fabulous!!! =)
and while waiting for the muffins to be set i went ahead and made some cookie batter coz i had all these pretty lil sprinkles that i bought. And they turned out even better than the ones i made last year coz these cookies were actually crumbly and crispy all at the same time. perfection!
Had to make another batch of muffins in order for it to be sufficient to spell out 'Happy 21st Birthday Akash'. These were banana date muffins. And they were better than the chocolate walnut ones coz people kept eating these ones =) So proud!!!
Chocolate button toppings!
this was how they looked when it was all done. I think i spent the whole day (and night) in the kitchen! but he was happy with them, and everyone else enjoyed eating them. so all worth it.
at Mission Bay. where Akash wanted to celebrate his bday on a sunny friday afternoon.
had an awesome time there with everyone. N i got sunburnt really badly. To the point that my skin actually hurt. I've never been sunburnt like that before... I now have multiple tones on my skin.
also went for Boon's bday at Long Bay. This beach was awesome! i absolutely loved it!
