International Student Leaders Forum, 2019.
Forum2019 1 - International Student Leaders Forum, 2019.

08/29/2019

One could not imagine the kind of joy we felt, as we smiled from ear to ear when we were nominated by Study Townsville to attend the 2019 Queensland International Student Leaders Forum, on behalf of James Cook University, Townsville. This year’s forum was tagged, “Global Talent, Global Skills, Global Workforce”. During the pre-forum meeting, where we were reminded that there is need to manage the stresses of life by “breaking the pattern” of everyday activities, as variety they say is the spice of life.

We networked with other international student leaders, from various ethnicities and Queensland Universities, by participating in an ice-breaker exercise tagged, “Yes, and…!”. We were reminded that the most beautiful aspect of having multi-cultural connections with fellow student leaders is the memories and experiences shared.

The wealth of knowledge shared by the five outstanding speakers during the plenary session was indescribable. As Queensland Government has a vision to invest positively in the lives of international students, which will improve their employability skills, there is need for students to step-up and use these opportunities wisely. The reasons are not far-fetched as top global employers are looking for individuals who are well- mentored, courageous, have good inter-personal skills and ready to market themselves.

Finally, as our society evolves with technological advancements, powerful social media platforms like Linked-in, twitter, Facebook should be used in pitching our employability skills to the world. Furthermore, in an environment where everyone is occupied with his/her daily activities, the benefits of staying mentally healthy and looking-out for a friend could not be over-emphasised. It all starts with a conversation with that person as we remember that, “It’s OK not to be OK”. Indeed, Townsville City Council has shown immense efforts by creating a conducive environment to “break the pattern, shake it off and live healthier”.

On to Grandmas’s!

This quaint little shop near the strand was amazing. 

I enjoyed a feta and spinach shakshuka with my usual vanilla flat white.

The shakshuka was delicious I even got an extra bread roll. The food was a different approach to eggs. Beautifully cooked eggs in a tasty tomato based sauce with feta and spinach. The bread roll was to die for and had a delicious sweet undertone. 10/10 for SURE! The coffee was also delicious and paired with my breakfast perfectly, only downfall was that the bean type was not my favourite, but still rated highly on my list 8/10!

On to the next ☕️ shop!

On to Fat Dogz!

This one is pretty close to home! I enjoyed a berry smoothie, chicken pesto wrap and my usual vanilla flat white.

The smoothie was delicious, perfect consistency and flavour, I would rate it a 10/10. The chicken pesto wrap was delicious and surprisingly filling I would give it a 9/10. The coffee was also pretty tasty even though I had it cold haha (busy days). Although it was generally a tasty coffee it wasn’t my favourite, but I still rate it a 7/10. Would definitely return for a post workout smoothie!

Hey! Cherie’s here 🥰

Are you ready for Christmas? I was on a Christmas light hunt last night and have found some hidden gems in town! This one is at Douglas which is 5 mins away from JCU Townsville Campus! It’s nice to see how people put effort in their Christmas deco isn’t it? 

Merry Christmas, everyone!

TAAAA DAAA!

Here’s the Yesterday Eryn and Cherie had their last pottery class!

Eryn: we got our results of glazing. They turned out great! Not exactly what we're aiming for, but the unpredictability is exactly the beauty of glazing. We loved the works. 

Cherie: I love how mindfulness takes place in pottery! Janell has provided us a carefree experience to express our creativity. Can’t explain how satisfying it is to watch our babies “come to life”! I am making some more and learning new skills. So excited to continue creating the second batch of our pottery!

On to Odyssey on the Strand!

I ordered their Canadian bacon maple French toast, a pomegranate and raspberry fruit crush and my usual vanilla flat white. 

Man oh man, that breakfast was one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten in Townsville. The mascarpone and compote being on the side was my favourite considering I’m pretty picky with how much of each I enjoy. Food was an easy 11/10. The crush was tasty however, not enough flavour. Lastly their coffee did not live up to the expectation of the food, it was slightly bitter which I blame the beans for, so not much to say, 6/10. 

Would 100% return for the food no doubt!

Eryn and Cherie continued their pottery classes!
Here’s what Eryn has to say:
“Finally we progressed to the glazing part! After our clays being fired, they become hard and "breakable". At this stage, the clay is still rough and plain. Glazing is coloring the hard clay using "clay-like" particles. How we glaze the pottery determing their look and texture! Even using the same glaze, the clay, surface of clay, how many layers we put on, and how we pit it on will make a big difference. The glazed clay will be fired again and we will get our unique final product!”

On to Bambini Cafe!

I ordered a eggs Benedict on a brioche bun, a watermelon and mint juice and an iced dirty chai latte. 

The eggs benny, was alright. I was hopeful for the brioche bun to hit the spot but to me it just missed the mark, too much sweet toast to egg ratio, 6.5/10. The watermelon juice was delicious and refreshing on that fine morning so 10/10. The iced coffee was also delicious and exactly what I needed that morning, the size was huge and I even had to get it as a takeaway, 9/10 (I need to try their coffee hot before I can hand out a 10/10;)). The price was was fair considering I got 2 drinks 8/10 there. 

Would definitely return for a refreshing juice and coffee!

On to Beet Bar!

I ordered a chicken burger with sweet potato chips, a fruity tuity juice and a dirty chai iced latte!

I have to admit I was a little disappointed in Beet Bar considering that they have rave revues. The burger was a pretty bland and greasy (I know it is deep fried and should expect some oil but this was too much) however, the chips were delicious, due to that I give the food a 5/10. The juice was amazing, perfectly delicious a perfect 10/10 there! The coffee however, also let me down, it was fairly bitter and I was barely able to taste the chai in it. Unfortunately, I will have to rate it a 5/10 as well. As for price, pretty average considering what I purchased, 7/10. 

As much as I was disappointed, I will return incase it was just an off day!

On to the next ☕️ shop!
