  1. School days

    It’s another day in the classroom. As you may recall, I’m studying my Master in Education. I’m currently doing casual relief teaching, which involves teaching/supervising students in a school. It’s good being in the classroom, especially when you’re studying, because you’re able to apply what you’re learning and see the visible benefit of your studies. […]

  2. Dear Dreamer

    This is an excerpt of my made-up diary: Dear Dreamer, Did you really think that you would become a University of Melbourne blogger? You put it out there into the universe, and you did it. You’re an official blogger for ‘The First Year Diaries’, you should be proud of yourself. Did you really think that […]

    How are you guys? I’m really not a winter or cold or rain or dark-in-the-mornings kinda person but I really do look forward to all the bloody mozzies disappearing in a few weeks time. ugh. During the 10 minutes which I have been in my bedroom lying working on my laptop, I have already killed […]

  4. Check-In Time #10 – the mystery of recess week

    2:05am, Singapore. At this point, I have no hope in my sleep schedule anymore – there’s never a day I sleep before 3am, let alone 12am. Even during recess week which is supposed to be for relaxing. Good news is that I just cleared an assignment, so the main priority for this week is down! […]

  5. Check in time #9 – one more check in till the 10th one!

    1:08am, Singapore. Yeap, evening again, in classic Charlene style. (I just downloaded Grammarly by the way, not sure why it wasn’t there earlier as I had Grammarly way back but here it is back again!) So… this would be the most grammatically correct check-in time! 😉 How’s everyone doing? End of Week 4 huh… the […]

  6. How is it March already?

    Can anyone believe we’re already 2 months into 2021? I remember at New Year’s, uni start felt still ages away. Here we are now, first day of week 1. How’s everyone doing? I’ve got all my tutes on Mondays which is one busy day then but leaves the rest of the week free for work […]

  7. Check In-Time #8-a half asleep rambling

    2:42am, Singapore. Currently doing some boring administrative things such as clearing my inbox. My, it has been a long while since I last blogged- I daresay it has been more than a month already. I originally wanted to do a blogpost for Lunar New Year, since I celebrate it in Singapore with my family. However […]

  8. Cheers to new beginnings

    O-week in full swing !!! Me and Cat went to the Engineering orientation before work and took some cool pics at the photo booth.

  9. Check-In Time #7- trying to find the missing piece this year

    1:59am, Singapore. Just finished keying in timetable preferences. I tried to tell myself that I will post something here either in the morning or afternoon, so to make it seem as if there’s some variety. But who am I kidding, I am a night owl (as can be deduced from my last post) and gets […]

  10. Check In Time #6-some tips that helped me survive the semester

    2:02am, Singapore. I’ve been meaning to post something here to wrap up the year– just that in my last post it didn’t seem like the best time to do so as it was really early on in the month. I was thinking of going to sleep after wrapping up work for today, but I know […]
