Auckland, Starbucks & Interview


- Warehouse, Newmarket Auckland (25.02.08) -

Auckland has been really nice since the past few days. The weather is getting a little bit more consistent compared to last week. Last week was like all sun and then all showers, you really couldn’t guess what the day was going to be like.

I had an interview with Sheryll today. It was more like a nice, long chat. It was really pleasant to talk to her. I kind of poured out what I was thinking about, especially about this course that I’m taking. I told her everything – what I think, how I feel, why this why that, etc etc. She sounds very much supportive, though I kind of know that she won’t be the one we turn to when we have problems (except for academic ones, maybe).

Overall, yes, it was a nice, loooooong chat.

Now all I had to think about is how am I going to wisely manage my time and money. Like, REALLY WISELY.

Otherwise, I’m doomed.

Thanks Sheryll, for that much-needed awakening talk. I think I’ll be on the right track.

That aside, let’s just go back to ‘before the interview’. The 1-hour database navigation/library course was so boring today, probably because I was in a state where I could fall asleep just about anytime. Sorry, Mark. You’re not boring, it was just me. And then I couldn’t log on to ERIC via Voyager. Damn. They had some kind of issues with the licenses, so… Yeah.

After the class, I went to kill time at Starbucks with Haniff before the interview. I think I have succeeded in ‘poisoning’ him with Caramel Frapuccino in Starbucks. Haha… Okay, no, I didn’t poison him. I just got him hooked. I wonder what Dyau would order if he was there… Probably something with a kick.

But hey, I don’t trust Starbucks all that much anymore if it deals with deciding on drinks that can get me wide awake. I still remember getting 2 shots of espresso, hoping to keep myself awake anough to finish one of my assignments. Ten minutes after, I got REALLY sleepy. So… Espresso in Starbucks has reverse effects on me.

I tried out Telecom Wireless in the cafe to. It cost me 10 bucks, but what the hell… Just testing. Besides, I haven’t been using my card for a while. Might as well give it a test.

While waiting to see Sheryll, we met up with Mint, Pikah, Wira, Sze Wei, Felicia, Nisah and Dzeti at level 10, Fisher Building. I had a really nice time chatting with them :)

Ahh… I so love my coursemates~

p.s/ And I am now officially the subject representative for my group. What the hell am I suppose to talk about? All I know is that we have a meeting this March 13 at 10am with Richard (I call him Mr.Chairman :P ). Hmm…
