Back to School for Me!

-
I am officially a student, again!

My career life has been quite monotonous  lately, not that I’m complaining, but to be honest, I am ready for a bit of a change. For years now, my bedtime story is reading through OZBargain, the website for bargain hunters like me. And during the pandemic, a post mentioned that University of Tasmania is letting people enrol Diploma of Sustainable Living free of charge!
 

So I looked it up, contacted them, and it was confirmed that this course is 100% funded by HECS scholarship until December 2021! Everything is online, no exams, just assignments! Plus, sustainability has been the core topic for most of my teaching and grading tasks - a topic I currently enjoy.

So I tried my luck and applied - and to cut the story short, I am now a uTas student. I will need to complete the whole diploma by December 2021 to secure 100% fees waiver. 


Wish me luck and hopefully I can successfully manage all my roles - mom, academician, crafter, and now student!

Bald Rock National Park, NSW

Date : 3rd November 2013 Bald Rock is a 3-hours drive from Toowoomba and I have been thinking of visiting it since last year. But I was not sure if it was a suitable trip for an infant. However, it is the largest granite monolith in Australia, which means it is a must-go! So best buds, Julie Zac and Zayra came to visit on 1st November. Was not sure where to bring them around Toowoomba. Oh well, let's try hiking then! Sunscreen for everyone!: At first, I was thinking of bringing Kimi's stroller through the Bungoona Walk. The Summit Direct Walk would be out of the question. A lady who just got down advised that it was not a good idea... And thank God for that... (What was I thinking??!) We had a plate of fried rice each at the picnic table to fuel us with energy! The best thing was, my 2 year old son was just as excited as the adults. He wanted to walk (or run) on his own and made it to the top! After walking half way, the view started to become ver...

Book: Sushi for Beginners

Date: 24 December 2010 Author: Marian Keyes She is definitely one of my favourite authors ever. The first book from her that I read was Under the Duvet, and the second was The Other Side of The Story - both I borrowed from UTM's library. She writes about characters with real life issues and manage to make the situation light although it's actually a dark topic. At the end of the day, readers will learn about complicated issues without feeling depressed. She delivers the message and adds humor to it - just brilliant! Plus, I learned a few Irish words! Sushi for Beginners is about the lives of 3 different ladies, all facing depressions. Different characters have a different coping mechanism. Synopsis: Lisa, a beautiful, career oriented lady is the b*tch boss from hell. She'll do whatever it takes to be the best at what she does, even if it means having no friends and family. The thing that drives her over the wall was when she actually sacrificed her marriage to ...
