YiiShuin's full Moon

I finally manage to meet up with Aunty and Uncle.

They are in town! Yup. Aunty and Uncle is Hooiling's parents. I do not know how to call them so just aunty and uncle. Of Coz... they are no ordinary uncle or aunty.

They arrive Brisbane a couple of days later than me. We wanted to meet up sooner but their grandson decide to arrive into our world earlier then expected :D

His name is YiiShuin.

On Sunday, I went to KokKeong korkor house in Sunnybank. I was late as there is a previous engagement. Need to head out to Logan to an outdoor park outing in the morning.

I am really happy to see aunty and uncle :D They both seems well and healthy as usual. The house is full of people. Hurray!! I do get bored here somtimes.

Aunty cook LOADS OF FOOD! HAhA.. I practically eat non-stop during my whole duration there. I was so full but I still can't help to eat.
Food : Fried BiHun, Nasi kunyit, Curry Chicken, Pork Stew, Belacan, Mix Vege, Fried Ginger Chix, Fried noodles.

The crowd was fun too.There are more than 15 ppl and most of them from Malaysia. Most of the time, I played with the children. We played hide and seek, drawing, gardening, fights and killing. Haha...

TWINS!! Emma and Peterson

Yii Hern :D KokKeong's elder son

Only later during the evening (after another heavy meal) , KokKeong korkor decided to begin to play blackjack. Just for fun...So around 10 of us (uncle included) played along. Maximum bet is $2. We started of with BlackJack until KokKeong korkor taught us a game call "Deng" . A game common in the north part of Malaysia and in Thailand. It was good fun! HAha... much much better than blackjack :D.

Had a good fun :D

Oh. wanted to note down : I made potato salad and bake a cake on Saturday!! CoOlz!

Addicted to Coffee

I am dead. I am totally dead.

I did not realize that I am addicted to coffee until today.

The very day I arrive Brisbane, I have been starting to drink coffee nearly every day. Okay. I have to admit I quit on my fags. Totally zero fags. I quit and stop. I made my choice. No! I did not have any craving at all. I am strong and very much motivated to stop it. This coming over here make it a better situation to quit. New environment, new lifestyle and not to mention on the price of fags here.. GoshPrettyEx!! So I call it a quit.

Here I am addicted to C-O-F-F-E-E.

Reason being:
1) it's winter... a hot cup of drink is desirable after a bus ride.
2) Merlo's serves good strong coffee
3) it kinda keeps me awake during seminars ( 3 hours!! )
4) Merlo's is on my way classes
5) Coffee is everywhere here

It's a Friday. I dun have seminars on friday. I plan to be in my room today. Just read and play my game. O... and watch Grey's Anatomy. Plus the weather is real bad. It's been raining day and night for more than 4 days. It's extremely windy too. So me in my cosy apmt is the best way to spend Friday. Did I ever mention that I LURVE Friday, along with most of the people I know too. Cindy Cluny is one of them :D

Oh well. It's afternoon already, I was watching Grey's until the headache started to kick in. My head started all fuzzy and wizzy. I wondered what's wrong.... only to realise I am low in caffeine!! It's raining and cold. I so dun feel like getting out of my cozy bed.

Coffee rulz. I changed and head down. Gosh! This is why living right in the heart of city is so amazing, a freshly brewed coffee is just 22 floors down.

I ordered an extra large. It is not as good as Merlo's but wat the heck. ME NEED KOPI.

Ciao

Assignments

I miss the days when in Utar the assignments is just another easy thing to do..

The main reason?? I have loads of friends to do it with. The friends who are good in their work. Friends who are easy going. Friends who treat everyone as friends :D

In total, I have a good bunch of friends to work with and ended up with good marks too :D The process doing assignments are fun and enjoyable. I am usually more focus on what we will eat after the meeting or perhaps before the meeting. Or just wanted to get the job done and over with.

Without them here now. Hmm... saddens me.

I just need to put so much more effort to do my assignments.

O Bugger.

I have like 4 subjects and in total of 3 individual assignments and 3 group assignments with 3 semester exams.

O Bugger Bugger...

The Difference and LOCO ROCO!

The difference between Here and There

Phone Ringing: Extremely low / Quite often
Ipod usage : Very often/ Seldom
Public transport : Often / Least
Walking: Quite often / Not so much
Online: Nothing much difference
Driving: Not so/ Constantly
Cook: Amazingly lots / Very seldom

Read: Similar
Eat: Much more/ Sufficient



The things I miss and notice the diffferent most is my mobile. It seldom ring. My iPod usage is really high as comparing in KL. O cooking! Gosh! I must say that my cooking is much much more edible .. Hell! It is GOOD!! MuaHahAhaha.. Yup. I do cook and I can cook. Actually I think it's every human instinct to cook.

My iPod is my constant companion, so much, until it is always low in batt. *SighZ* My only solution is to use PSP!! MuahAhAhhaaHha.... Only when I forgot to charge my iPod (quite often).

I got 2 games for the PSP. It's so super duper GOOD!!!!! One of it is Gurumin and ...

Lemme introduce LOCO ROCO :D

It's a really cute and fun game... Err.. did I ever mention that I am bad in playing all sort of games. As Onnie mention, I am bad in coordination and have zero patience. Still.. it is loads and loads of fun. I give it a 9 over 10.

Market Day

The CuPCakes!! Arent' they just beautiful, delicately designed with care.

Flowers at the Market is also cheaper and more exotic :D Me Likey!

Yup! I fell in love with the Saturday Market.

The food there is irrisistable. From Cupcakes to Garlic Turkish Bread... From Curry Puff to Ricecrackers. It's all good and duper yummy.

Oh... I am fatter by day. Since the day I arrive here, all I think of is food. The food here is bigger in portion and creamier too! The desserts here are all fattening. And the chips here are more yummier too. The cold is not doing any good either. I just keep on eating :P But it's all for the good. I love food. I am having constant craving for the tort chips.

That does not mean that I do not miss M'sian food either. I already have a list, mind you! I will be patiently waiting till Devember for :

-Curry Mee (oldtown)
-LokeLoke (Ipoh Gdn East)
-Hakka Mee (My dad and I's breakie)
-Wanton Mee (oldtown)
-Yong Tau Foo (PJ)
-Heong Peng (Ipoh)
-Bak Kut Teh (Klang)
-Mum's cooking
-Steamboat (Eli and San)
-Char Keoy Teow with SEE HUM (Robert's)

A Diff route.. A Diff Mood

I finally manage to finalise all my subjects and courses. It has been hell last 2 weeks for me. I was scared that I could not able to allocate 8 units this semester and the subjects for sem is limited due to lots of timetable clashes.

Finally! I manage to take a deep breath and do watever was needed.

I was feeling rather chirpy and relieved after everything sorted out at uni. I decided to walk around the campus. I wanted to venture out a bit from the normal route. I decided to stroll along the lake. Which was rather ridiculous, as I just bought 3 textbook that is awfully heavy. Then again, my mood ... is GOOD! So it does not really matter.

It is really beautiful.


I found out another bus stop at the other side of the lake. It's the 109 bus stop. I always wonder where this bus stop at uni. The usual bus I took is 412, which stops right in front of the uni's sudent centre. That day, I took a different route back to city.

Hmmm... A change out of the norm. I think it's always good to do sth different once in awhile. It's oddly refreshing and make your mind wander bit. The route is headed from South side of Brisbane ( SouthBank ) then to city.

I think I'll try to take the citycat(boat ride) one day to uni :D ehhe..

Hey!! Did I mention that I manage to finish off Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. IT'S PERFECT. It took me 3 days to finish it. I was so anxious, I like it from the very beginning to the end. Although at the middle, was a bit dull... BIT!! It is when Harry and Hermoine shifting around places without any clue to find the Horcrux. Altogether it is definitely better then the previous book.

My favorite Harry Potter is still the fourth :D I love it to bits... from the Quidditch World Cup to the Triwazard Tournament ... dragons, Winky, maze,Viktor Krum. It is all good good good.

Cheers to Harry Potter and Cheers to JK Rowling!

Any Carbon footprint you left today?

Carbon footprint. I first come across it last year when my bro talking about it during dinner. I was like "wat the heck is he talking about". My curiosity did not ends there. I went online to get to know what is it about.

Yesterday while I was attending lecture, it came about again.

I again search online and find out more about it.

Do you realise that global warming is coming sooner then predicted. Do you realise that it is mostly caused by human activities *sHameFul*.

IF we do nothing!!??
Rising global temperatures will cause sea level to rise and alter local climate conditions, affecting forests, crop yields, and water supplies. It may also affect human health, animals, and many types of ecosystems. Deserts may expand and some of our countryside may be permanently altered.

There is lots of simple things that one can do! Things that might not even matter. Things that is not even worth. But bits and pieces do end up being loads!

So, you and I could prolly start by: click here

What I did is:

• Taking public transport to classes *KEkEKkE*
• Using recycle bag to market (the green bag)
• Din turn on the heater at all (it's not tat freaking cold anyway)
• Hangout cloths ( I dun like trunble dry, it wrinkles up my cloths)
• Try as much as I could to turn off electricity items that is unused
• Buy local fruits ( KeKE.. strawberries in season now)
• Eating less meat, more vege

I will definitely try to :

• Unplug mobile phone, iPod, PSP as soon as it has finished charging
• Go for a run rather than drive to the gym ( but is so far far away)
• Do your weekly shopping in a single trip ( But then the supermarket is just a block away, and I walk!!)
• Fill the kettle with only as much water as you need
• Turn down the water heating setting
• When on holiday - hire a bicycle to explore locally rather than a car
• Towels to be washed every other day, rather than every day

See.. It's just so simple to save the world. What's your carbon footprint, eh?

嫂嫂 and 侄女

Me so proud to have two smart and clever ladies in da AU family! O!Another lil dude coming (due October this year)

Old Movies

Yup! I am into old movies now.

Can't help but to fall in love with all those old movies. I need to confess, mostly starred by Audrey Hepburn. She is definitely a lady, a class of it's own.

I rented those old dvds... fallen in love with all these love comedy. Why can't they do it like in the old days. Gosh! They are just exquisite and charming, both the characters and the movie.

Haha.. Fetish in old, black and white movies.
Hmm... I watched:

• Paris, When It Sizzles
• Sabrina
• Funny Face
• Love in the Afternoon

I've yet to see "Breakfast at Tifanny's" though. It is always out of rent. *GgRrRrrrr*

Oh.. there is one more that I really need to mention is "It's a Wonderful Life".

It's a Wonderful Life is produced and directed by Frank Capra,based on the short story, "The Greatest Gift" written by Philip Van Doreb Stern.

Although not an Oscar winner at the time it has been since named by the American Film Institute as one of the best films ever made and was placed number one on the AFI's 100 Years and ...100 Cheers list of the most inspirational American films of all time.

Er.. I can't really say that it is 'tat' inspirational. All I can say that that it definitely is a good movie and life is trullu wonderful :D

SouthBank Stroll

After dinner at Sunnybank, Onnie and I decided to head down Southbank for a stroll. A walk meal should be good :D especially after a full stomach.

Never did we know that there is a Dance Street going on.

There are various dance stage. From Indian dance to Latino to rap to hip-hop. It's really good. The street, Stanley street was crowded with people, young and old.

At the different stage, there will be people dancing UP on the stage as well as BELOW the stage. It is really a good fun. The stage performer will dance a whole dance and then step by step teaching the crowds to dance as well, which is really good. There are loads of ppl dancing on the street, browsing and strolling around. It's a great night.

Manage to took some pix using my mobile, the outcome is not as good as it's taken at night.

Long Awaited Meal

I've been longing for the potato salad for months. It's not just any potato salad. It's THE potato salad.

I got wee bit smarter and booked the table at Sono's for Friday Dinner. I've been cooking quite frequently and wanted to get a break. Plus I din manage to eat at Sono's last Friday. So today is the day to E.A.T.

My PotAtO SalAd. As Yummy as Expected.

Had Wagyu Beef Steak. Medium-rare.

Shishamo. ChEwY!

Shashimi Moriawase.. Err.. I was too hungry. Only manage to take the picture after eating half way. Correction.. almost finsihing.

O.. and two more.. I forgot to take picture. Agedashi tofu and black sesame ice cream.

I know.. I shoulda take the photos. But seriously, with the food right in front of you... it's like they are luring you to eat them. They hypnotised me. I can't help but just grab the chopstick and eat it. I forgot to take pictures. Sighz..

Satisfied. Full. Dinner. **BURP** excuse me

First week of classes

Wanna check out my ID?

HahhAa... I am officially a student... again!!! A re-born student.

With this ID I can get concession public transport ticket and even movie ticket too. CoolEh! Err.. come to think of it.. not that cool. The amount of tuition fee is a ShArK KiLLer. Not to mention the exchange rate.

I am really tryin my bery bery best not to spend that much dy. I din even went in Kookai during the sales time. *AheM* My mum was amazed too, hearing that I din even step in Kookai or any boutique watsoever.

My classes. Some of the classes are pretty cool. Gosh. Compared to UTAR? Err... no comment :P Lecturers, I guess, is all the same throughout. No comment on that either. What I really wanted to say is...?? I MISS MY UNIMATES IN UTAR!

The students in the classes I attended are mostly... err... I duno? err... Yikes.. No Comment Either. The students in some classes are mostly from China. Some from Taiwan. Some classes, the students are very snobbish. Some are too quiet. Some are way too mature. Some are still fresh and cool. I feel so like an outsider. I dun like the feeling, dun like the feeling at all. Will I be able to fit in? I never have difficulty mixing around. I seldom have that kinda problem. I just felt awkward and out of everything. Hmm... Sighz.. Will see how it goes.

But, I do really miss my unimates.
Wondering if they all miss me too??

Anyway, on wednesday is the market day for UQ. It is the enrolment for the clubs and societies day. Well, it's pretty cool. Loads of ppl. Loads of students. Loads of freebies.

They give out pens, rulers, even a studen diary. OH! Even HotDogs. The queue was pretty long though. I walked and have a look around, can't help and took a few photos before I head back to the city to have lunch.

Too public for kisses

I was taking bus after classes back to the city.

Today is my first day of class. The class was suppose to end at 7pm. The lecturer let us of early. (I wanted to blog on my first day of class stuff... but HeCK! I wanted to blog on this more, so please do read on).

Hurrying-ly, I went to the main bus stop. Obviously I need to wait for the bus. I popped my headphones and get my book out for a read. I can't help but noticing the couple in front of me SNUGGLING and KISSING. I was not really offended watsoever by it. Gosh! Everyone have their own right to do whatever they want. I just continue on with my read.

Once on bus, it's rather crowded. I was pushed all the way back. I took a sit and listen to my iPod. I can't read anymore as reading during the ride makes me drowsy.

There was a couple in front of me. Yup! Another couple. They are again snuggling, cuddling, hugging, kissing and FRENCH kissing. NoW! I can't take that. I was bored in the bus and my eyes keep wandering around. Plus there is not much place I can look at as I am sitting at aisle sit and the bus is really packed! Conclusion, their affectionate love act drew my attention.

I was like constantly counting on their number of kisses or pecks. There are like 1 peck in every 15 seconds and the french kiss can last for like 15 seconds.

GOSH! hElLO! I am still fresh from Malaysia. It was not even allowed to hold hands for muslims in Malaysia (non-married), let alone a teeny hug!! I just arrive here 2 weeks. I can't take it. It was like too upclose and personal. GosH! Get a room!!!

Oops... the couple? One of them are asian, the other ABC. I think.

Harry Potter?? War Price??

Seriously, it's ridiculous.

I checked my yahoomail today. My yahoomail is usually for junk mail. I click into Inbox and browse through several spam mails. As HarryPotter is currently now the 'hit' thingy now, a mail from MPH caught my eye with the title of "HarryPotter and the Deathly Hallow"( I am in their mailing list).

I clicked it. I was rather surprise to read that they stop their sales for this long awaited book.
Copied along here:

Interested to know why??

http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/07/21/arts/AS-A-E-BKS-Malaysia-Harry-Potter.php

MPH, Popular, Times and Harris bookstores, these 4 major bookstore in Malaysia have decided to withdraw the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows novel from their shelves in protest against Tesco and Carrefour's move in selling the novel at a much cheaper price of RM69.90. The retail price of the book is RM109.90

As a consumer or a reader, OfCOz! Watever the cheapest will do me fine. HahA. I think the bookstore have their reason to ban the sales once and for all. I do understand the un-fairness. But Heck! The same quality, the same content with a much cheaper price wins~!!

Er. No. I paid Aus$19.95 plus the earlier pre-order of $10. So I did not buy it cheap. I have a free cuddly white owl though. It is some sorta promotion item when you prebook it earlier.

Err No. No. Have not start the read just yet. Will start once I am finish with my current book.

ChilL!

Choices and fear

I can't make decisions.

I am not a good choice maker at all. Esp on my future.

I am not a plannereither . Not at all. Everyone knows that I am the last minute kinda person. I messy and blur.
I can't but I should.

When one is left with choices. Too many to choose from. Options. Crossroads. It becomes confuse.

I am changing my program. I was frustrated for a couple of days.
I head to consult to the student advisor. I need advise. I realize no matter what, the decision is mine to choose.

As quoted by Alfred A. Montapert "Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choice". Decisions is difficult. Which ever decisions is made, I will have to bare the consequences of it.

The due date is today.
I am still lost. Should I be more focus on my field or should I varied. Will I end up becoming a joker of all sorts and a master of none?

Sighz. I am afraid.
I am afraid of the path that I need to chose (in due time) will affect my path. Or will it not? I think the fear is a good sign. It will draw my attention and be more wise in making the final decision. As the saying goes, only a fool is not afraid. Me no fool :P

At least I do know and will understand is that, once my decision is made, is confirmed and chosed. I will stick to it. I will face the consequences and perhaps nag a little or perhaps be gloomy about it a little. I will defeinitely own up and understand that watever it is. There is no one and anything that I could blame and the outcome of it... is my own responsibilty.
(at least, I am not a loser on that :P)

A market weekend

Went to a wet market on Saturday.

Went to Sunday Market on Sunday. I bought an incredible cute top for Shaoyi. Haha.. I am so happy and proud of the top that I bought for her.

Cute and pretty, ain't she eh!? My lil dear niece, Shao Yi

The top that I bought for her...

*kEkE*

Harry Potter : The final book

It's saturday!!
The official release of the long awaited book.

Aussie's release is 0901 hrs ( the same time on London time, 0001 hours).

NO! I din queue up for the release. D.U.H.!!

I did past through the bookstore in the city as I was heading out to the market at 9.20am. I just live one block away from Borders. Oh well, the queue was long. The queue was up to the building that I stay in. So it was roughly 150 m queue. The people q-ing come from various age group. I can't help myself but to drive around the block to have another closer. There are quite a number of kids who dress up for the ocassion. *HeHeHE* Harry's glasses. Griffidor uniform. The broom. And loads more.

Hehe. Took a photo too

I eventually head to the market.

I cam back to the city around 2pm after running the errands. I went to Borders. The long q has died down. I went in to the bookstore. I realize there is indeed a queue. I was still anticipating on the ending. I waited in line for a rough 20 minutes. I already pre-order the book earlier before the release date. Once I was at the cashier doing payment, I can't help myself but to turn to the last page.

No worries!Chill!! I won't be the spoiler. I won't unleash the awaited ending in this blog. Not yet though.

What I wanted to say it's not really the ending that I was hoping for. But then again, I will still need to read through the whole book to find out the reason why!!

It is just me. I have this habit of the need to know the ending.

Oh no. I have not started the book yet. I am still halfway reading "A Wrinkle in Time" by Madeleine L'engle. It's highly recommended, although it's for interme. Hey! HarryPotter is the same thing eh!

Who says adult need to read only adult books :P

Parcel - arrived!

Ello! My stuff arrive.



*Phew*


I got worried back there. My beauty care products, my lingerie, my jackets and pants PLUS two of my favorite bags are in it. Dun you get conned by the size. It actually weighed 24.5kg. The max is 25 kg in the size. Wat I did back in M'sia before packing all my cloths in. I vaccumed it. I bought this vacumable-easystorage-bag. I put all the heavy cloths in and suck all the air out before packing it :D Cool-eh!!

HEhEhe... I can't help it but to rejoice! HUREAAaaaYYy!!!


I unpack quickly and set my stuff straight for my easy usage! MuahhAHHAhAHa KUDOS to that.

O. I bought flowers to decorate the place I am staying as well.

T-U-L-I-P-S!!

YupYup!!! I bought a bunch. It's a beauty. ME Likey TuLiPs. MuahAha.... I think the picture will do the justice of it. Rather then me describing the beauty and the chirpiness it brings to me everyday. It just brightens up the day a bit more. Dun you agree?

Second day - O

Okay. This time I manage to get to UQ on time.


I was L.O.S.T.

According the the program, I am suppose to head to "Getting Started" at the Union Centre. I arrive there and just follow blindly with the rest of the people around. I head down to a hall. I figure that since that is the most people head and all do look 'fresh'.

Well.. I went in to the hall. The first session was on the culture shock rap. I was half asleep back there. After more then half an hour, only did I realize that I actually went to the wrong place. The session I attended was "Welcoming the International Student" session. I was suppose to go to another session on 'Getting Started' at the same time but different location.

I really needed to attend the session so I know.. err.. how to get started!! Sighz..and I miss it. Due to my negligence and my dupidity. ArGhhh...
*DuPid BLuR me*

Anyway, I continue and stayed there until the end of the session. I head to the library as I wanted to get my student ID ( as stated in the guide). After a long queue, only then I realized that I need to enrol first and will take at least 24 hours to activate the Student ID card. So there you go. The NuTtIe Me.


Oh, I met a few of Malaysians while I am at the Union Centre. They are from a Christian Club. HMmmMm... :D CooLz! We manage to exchange no. and chat a bit :D Haha.. I am still in contact with the outside world.


I finally get a cup of flat white at Merlos. *ME LiKey* and head to School of Social Science. I can't help and take a picture on the way there.

I went to Michie Building and ask for consultation in order to choose my subjects correctly. After getting information from the counselor I left Uni for the day.

:D Will be back to UNI tmrw for the library tour and IT stuff. Wish me luck. I will be attending the session tmrw. YUP! The CorreCt One!! I checked out the place today to double confirm that I will get to the right place tmrw. *kKEke* I seriously need to pay more attention and less on the daydream. ArgHhh.. I wonder if I'll be able to survive in UQ.


I seriously hope that I am not that blur. Sighz. I miss my unimates. Utar is so much easier.

*SoBz*SoBx*

DHL = Damn Hell Lazy

I decided to send some of my stuff through DHL as I realize that there is much I need to bring.

Rather send it over then buy all over, rite! It cost saving and environment frenly :P

The problem is that I STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PARCEL YET!! They said it just needs two working days! F***!!!

I purposely arrive early to KL on my departure day to Brissie to send the parcel that I pack to DHL. I calculated the time and hopefully to get in latest on Friday in Brisbane. Heck! It's already Monday. I did not have it yet.

I've been making loads of calls to DHL Brisbane. All I can get is different recievers and all they told me it is under custom clearance. etc.etc.etc. Sighz. There seem to be some extra charges being made for the personal items sent fr M'sia to Aus. I dun fucking give a damn about that. I just want then to hasten the process. I serioulsy need the stuff. I mean seriously, I NEED THE PARCEL.

I do not know why they are so slow in all this. They do not even bother to call. Instead of me calling them again and again. I wonder is this the service of DHL?

First day Orientation

Guess wat! I overslept on my first day of orientation.

*Sighz*

Oh well!! I manage to head down to UQ in the afternoon. It's too late. I'll just have to go again tmrw for the compulsory brief. The truth is I am kinda lost. Go figure! I am always blur in utar, tis time round make no difference.

Gosh! I miss UTAR! Seriously!! I miss Janelle, Penny and Grace. I wonder will I be able to survive and pass through and finish my course this time round.

The JPG and loads of my unimates has been my support throughout my 3 years in uni. I do not know what I will do without them.

Taken in June 2007, Janelle came down fr Singapore and kinda our group outing before I head DownUnder

Who will help me with my assignments, who will inform me about my dued homework, who will remind me on the exams, who will let me copy their notes, who will help me with my Mword, who will ring me up and wake me up to class. Who will photostat the notes for me, who will cover up and sign my attendants, who will help me out with my thesis, who will back me up, who will let me copy their test papers, WHO WHO WHO!!!

Yikes, I now wonder wat I did during my 3 years in uni. Sometimes I wonder how I manage to graduate.

I AM DOOMED without them. Of coz! Not forgetting Kuan Mei, Jasmine and Simpson. Oh Irene too.

Taken in 2006, finishing some assignment at my place. Oh! Frodo is here too

JuMp!

HeHE... Wanted to post this photo.

Taken in Genting. We head to catch the JUMP korean play on the 28 June 2007.

It's been a great and extremely funny. Totally enjoy it. Of coz, Miss Jasmine there added the fun too. Hey! I nearly forgot to mention that I GOT BULLIED by a 13 Year old kid. Yup! Jasmine's lil brother. IshIsh... am insulted... Sighz

Journey

I finally left Malaysia.

I was back in Ipoh for a few days. It’s not enough.
It is only when I am back in Ipoh I only felt the reluctance to leave.

I will definitely miss my family the most. Their full support, their never-ending support. Their love. Their care.
I already missed them before I even left.

I left Ipoh and went straight to KL on the day of departure.
My whole family sent me off. N-O-P-E! I din cry at all.

The journey to Brisbane was a terrible one.
As I only book the tix last minute plus its peak season. I only manage to get Qantas flight. That only means I have to change terminal in Singapore. *Sighz* I took a train in Changi Airport T2 to T1, have a queue up to recheck-in for Sin-Bne. Ate alone. Lucky thing, my beloved iPod was there to accompany me :D

Once on board, I din manage to get any sleep. Oh well, I saw one movie though. A French movie! “Hors de prix” meaning “priceless”, starred by Audrey Tantou (me likey her!!) and Gad Elmaleh. It is a fresh re-imaging of the cinema classic, Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

Tried drinking. Does not work. Ended restless.

Once arrive in Brissie, I notice there are 4 plane that also just arrive not long ago. Imagine the queue! One on immigration and another on custom. The queue was so LONG!!! ARggHhh… I was drowsy due to the lack of sleep. The queue was freaking long. I only manage to get out from the airport after 2 and ½ hours.

*SigHz*

I slept the whole day once arrive.

Oh yeah! I nearly forgot. I cut my hair!! HHehE.HEhe. I figure 'why not,eh!??!'. I wanted to start everything afresh. A whole new life, why not a new look. Just for a change in my physical outlook. HeHE... as what Eliza said, " At least if the cut is terrible, you will be in Aussie!!". I made my decision and cut my hair. In the end, Me likey it LoadsZz!!!

The departure

I am leaving.

Hopefully for the best.

It's been a year... its still haunting me now and then.
But then again, the heartache should come to an end.

Somethings are a wee bit too late. Somethings can't be turn back. Somethings aren't suppose to be left to fate. Somethings perhaps is best left unsaid.

I need to move on and I did.
I am glad I stick with it.

I am now ready to start... to take a turn in life.

ELizA Bday

Not so much of a Farewell note to my friends

I've sent out an email blast to most of my friends through mail. Just in case, I miss out some of my dearest friends. That does not mean you are not important, just the usual blur me!! Here you go...

I will be leaving to Aussie on the 10 July. I will be furthering my studies in Social Science for 1 & 1/2 years.

It's my honor to have you throughout all this years in KL and Ipoh. It will never be that spectacular without you. I will treasure the moments we shared and cherish the laughter we gaged on and on.

I have been through alot this few years over in KL. The Ups and Downs,I believed, have made a better 'me'. I had now trully begin to understand what is pain, what is tears, what is laughter, what is sorrow and what is happiness. I learned, I fall and get back up. I laughed, I cheered, I treasured and kept in heart. I just wanted to say that having you as my friend made it all so much easier.

This is not a goodbye. I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thanks for being in my life. I thank you for being you!

I hope that distance would not be a barrier to continue this precious friendship. Do keep in touch.

Hugs And Kisses

I AM F***ING TIRED OF PACKING!

Packing

I finally got everything settled and done...

Except PACKING!

I have to shift everything from KL back to Ipoh. And pack again to Aussie... *heLP*

Gosh! Basically I have stayed in KL for around 3 and 1/2 years. The stuff that I collected does not seem so. My packing is never ending. One by one... each and everything gives me headache.

My snowglobe.. to start of with, I do not know how can I transfer them back to Ipoh. I have to say goodbye to my books. I need to pack it all up and list it all down into Word Document. My Dvd player, my mini TV, my radio. Last but not leasts, MY CLOTHS!! It's never ending. My amenities, my beautycare products.. the list go on and on.

I decided to send a few parcels to Australia. I decided that I better make full use of what I have right now rather than buying it over again. Might as well utilize what I have rather than buying it all over again.

I am leaving on 10 July. One more week to go. I have not pack. My room in KL is in a mess. I have not yet got the opportunity to say goodbye to all my friends (Correction: not goodbye, it's definitely not a goodbye. It's 'see you soon'). I still need to spend time with my parents and yet I am stuck in packing.

Argghhhh!!I HAVE ENOUGH OF BUYING! The packing is damn scary. It really gives me headache.

For the thrill of buying and shopping, there is always a fallback.

I've enough of buying. Errr... Except for the BIG COOL bag that I have been eyeing.. *KekKe*

Reservation for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, anyone??

I guess everyone is anticipating for the final Harry Potter including myself...

I had it reserved months ago at Borders, The Curve so I can read it asap.
(Hey...I really wanted to know if Harry will die or not :P and Lord Voldemort too)

I guess I won't be able to collect it since I will be away.
I will have to give up my deposit for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
I have paid RM30 for that.

So if anyone wanted it, do let me know.
Gimme a call or drop me an e-mail.

*ciao*

My first day after ME

Gosh! I woke up at 7.30 in the MORNING!!!

After three months of waking up early every weekday... I finally am so used to it.

I slept early the night before around eleven. I really did try to sleep late but my eye lids keep on dropping. I went to Eliza's place for dinner. My dear Eliza cooked Fried Rice! *YuUmY* I think she is the blame for my sleepiness. The fried rice is super yummy and I ate loads. As I believe, a full tummy, makes everyone sleepy. I doze off straight after my shower.

SO there I woke up at 7.30!! while forcing myself back to sleep. I actually lied on my bed till 10am. Amazingly.

Once woke up. I organize my whole day. I got loads to prepare for my leaving to DownUnder.

• I went Bangsar for my glasses and contact lenses ( need to stock up - daily and 2 weeks disposable)
• Went to withdraw cash * MuAkz *
• Went to Cosway for lunch and buy stationary
• Went for medical check up * fInAlly!!*
• Head to KLCC (bought a waist pouch :D)
• Drove to Ikea (need storage boxes)
• Stop by Curve (get my daddy a toiletry bag)

There!! I was finally back home at 6pm.

I miss doing errands during weekdays. I MISS IT!!
I miss stopping by for coffee with San in the afternoon weekdays.
I miss the non-crowds in shopping malls in weekdays.

Everything goes smoothly today. No complications whatsoever. I miss doing errands on weekdays. Seriously!

Yet I kinda feel uneasy. I sorta miss ME too.

*weird*


ps. Hey! I am starting to blog again :D

After ME

Yup! I quit my job.

Worked in Marcus Evans for exactly 3 months. Gosh! How time flies.
In total, I have enjoyed my three months there.

The people in it are great :D especially my team. They are the only reason I can wake up everyday at 6.45 am. Hugs to Bern, Cindy, Am Mee, Kelly, Peng Pheng and Esther.

Oh well, the Korean and Philippine producer are the best to worked with too. They are amazing and their full support made my job so much easier... particularly with the language barrier ( I don't speak korean, mind you).

Not forgetting the out of office activities. *kEkE* I have not been blogging much since I started work. Whatever time I have left usually will be allocated for sleep.

I will miss them all. Thankfully there is Skype, Msn and friendster. *Phew* Will definitely keep in touch.

It's a great 3 months.

Well... alas.. my reason of resigning is that I finally decided to made my decision. It's finalized. I am pursuing my master in Australia. My whole course will take one and a half year.

It's a rather last minute decision but I think it is for the best.

Left the office with a *sighz* yet anticipating with the new future at 6.15 pm.

Basically, I am still in office. I should not be posting blogs. Wat the heck! Here I am! I dun give a damn. I have not been blogging for quite some time dy.

Kinda busy. Just too tired to blog. Need to catch up on it though.

Haha.

Some of my colleagues. We went for BBQ but the rain started. Ended up in the condo having the food and drinks *CoolZ*

Credit or w/o

I just past my two most reliable, dependable item to my bro. A few minutes ago actually.

My credit cards.

My dad wanted to cancel the HSBC credit card as the annual fee for the whole family is too much to cover. It's extra costing. Whereby most of the credit card companies waive the annual fee.

I am Bare. Naked. It felt so.

I have not recieved my new credit card just yet. Lost somewhere in the post. No one is around at home for collection. So, I have to take the credit card at the designated bank.

The new credit card promise a lifetime annual fee waive as long as I am a member in Public Mutual Fund. A pretty good deal, I suppose. Well, that's wat my dad told me to apply. So I just listen.

ArGghhhh... the emptiness, the insecurity!! Heigthens every single minute.

Come to think of it. I can live without a mobile. I can't live without a credit card. I have relied on cc for emergencies. I relied on cc for cash. I relied on cc for safety. I relied on cc on everything. It's my fallback.

I feel insecure now.
H.E.L.P.

Having cash by me is not an option. Not a good one. I spend the cash off quicker. But the main point is, having cash does not give me security that credit card will.

Silly me, I know. It should be the other way.
I guess it's just me.

Goodbye to my HSBC Credit Cards.

I will so miss it.

Imaginary friend

I was listening to the news during on my drive to work on friday. What really caught my attention was that there is someone selling his imaginary friend on e-bay!

Gosh! Seriously! This guy is like 27 years old. MY AGE! He still have his imaginary friend. I totally salute him.

What really makes me piss off is that he is trying to sell him off! His reason for selling? He says he’s finally grown out of him. The imaginary friend is described and friendly and somewhat of a player. *GosH*

He will even provide a list of dislikes and likes. Oh with his portrait too!

H-O-L-a!!! You dun sell friends!! Imaginary or not! It's unethical. How can you sell it. Friends you have is the connection and the relationship that was built throughout the process. A friend to you might be an enemy to another.

My first understanding of imaginary friend is from books. During my kindergarten years, my parents like to bring me to the library. I remembered vaguely, but I do remember a series of books that was about big, powerful, influential, intellectual people of the past (etc, Albert Einstein, GeorgeWashington) The narator of the book is through their imaginary friend. It was so cool to me. *Please, I was still a kid* Naturally, I tried to come out of my imaginary friend. I dun really remember the appearance and his dislikes and likes much. He din stay long in my life. I guess I am not that lucky. * KEkE* I was really trying hard to keep this friend but it's too distracting along with the real world. Guess I just grew out of it.

Ps. L word, Season 4 is out in the street. It rocks.period.

Blah

Have not been doing any reading.

Have not been heading to gym.

Have not been seeing any movie.

Have not getting enough sleep.

Have not getting a time out.

Have not manage to spend time with family.

Have not manage to sort my messy wardrobe.

First meal by Mr Yu

Oh well, on the previous post I mention on Mr Yu's yummy and delicious cooking.

I need to post another because Mr Yu posted an unwanted comment in Korean in that post.
"GGA_BOOL_DA_GA_DA_CHIN_DA"

When I first know Mr Yu, he brag on his cooking. He said that he made the best kim chee chi geh! Oh what a liar!

He invited me to have dinner at their condo to taste his self-praised dish. I courteously accepted. As usual, I am extremely hungry. I have some gastric problem, thanks to the adjustment of the time of my new work life.

I solemnly waited at the living room, extremely tired and do not feel like making conversation to others. Counting the minutes, I was waiting for the food.

Alas! The food is served.
In appearance, the food looks very very apetizing. Plus I love soupy stuff. It just suit me well. I can't wait to dig in.

First mouthful. It's hot and sour. At first, I tot maybe my taste bud need adjustment. It's not really the usual taste that I had in korean restaurants. I took another mouth full. It's definitely hot. It's not the usual kinda spicy hot that we, malaysians are used to. It's a different kind of hot.

As I am hungry, I gobble up the meal. Half way through, I felt pain on my tummy. The gastric strikes in. I can't take the meal anymore. It's too hot and sourish for my poor tummy to consume. I had to stop eating and drink water instead.

The conclusion is that, Mr Yu's much self-praised meal is a disaster. He put too much hot paste in the soup. Excessive hot paste. Seriously, I left the condo with gastric pain. A couple of hours later, my tummy is okay but hunger strikes.

Poor me! *siGH*

Watever Whenever

Okay-lar!

I have not posted for pretty long time.

Got busy. Seriously! If working takes the hell of a person.. what will hell be like?

Ever since I started work, I have not even manage to read finish a single book! GOsh! Seriously, I am still reading PeterPan. The only time I manage to read is when I am poopoo-ing.

Well..I confess!! I can't totally solely blame it on work. I've been out loads too. HA! I blame San and Eliza!! They wanted the HOTZ!!! *kEkE*

I have a high price to pay for that. My dark eye circles! d-A-M-n! It's getting worse by day. even with loads of concealer won't be able to help.

ArgghhHHhhHhHhhhh!!!

My work is A-Okay!Moderate! The thing is, I do not find any challenge and motivation in it. Sigh. I think I better change the topic. No WORK topic here. I am bored of it.

Let's talk about food.

I was being introduced to lotsa korean and Japanese food lately.
MuAHhaHahahahhaa...

As usual, I forgot to take the photos of the food. Seriously! How can one resist yummy & delicious food which is right in front of you. I know that taking photos will take like 5-10 seconds ... but still, it's a waste of time. I just can't wait to taste the food!

It's super yummy. Cooked by Mr Sang Kuen Yu a.k.a. Gavin.

He manage to cook up some beef and seaweed soup, steam pork ( whereby we use the lettuce to wrap the sliced pork along with some kimchi, anchovies, seaweed etc etc ... with some red paste or mayo or miso paste etc, etc).

O! For dessert, we have something like barley. It's nice, but my tummy cannot take it anymore!

The korean food is simple and good. All of us had a full and big tummy heading back home.

Err... correction. I did help on the washing of dishes. So. not really that full and big tummy heading back. As it's really quite a lot of dishes to be washed.

*BLAekZ*


Ps. I'll try to blog more.

Airline Vs GroundJob

Wanted to make things clear.

Rumors about how crazy it can be in the airline, it is the same as on ground!

Ground job! The 9 -5 job! It is the same. The gossips, the rumors, the unspeakable, the hidden secrets! It is the same... or even worse, if I might add.

I always wonder why issit, in general, that the airline have a bad reputation especially on certain issues. I realized that even ground jobs have the same issue, even worse, it stayputs.

At least, in the airline, when one flight is done... it is done. It is Finish. Obviously, ground job, you will have to face the same old shit.. same old people... same old rumors that will just keep adding on.

So... I must strongly disagree when anyone says that airline has bad reputation.. know wat, it is just the same.. or even worse in ground jobs.

I miss flying.. I miss my team.


Gosh!

My Heroes - Hiro!

Heroes

Okay! I need to say million thank yous to Dear Miss Jasmine.

She borrowed me "Heroes". Amazing Huh! I was so hooked up.

I like Hiro the best. My Heroe - Hiro.

I need not say more on the series. I think it's rather popular and everyone seems to be talking about it. So...

A.D.I.O.Z.

(I need to continue my series... weekend has nearly come to an end)

Breakie at work.... and shit too

I seldom.. or might I add, not use to have breakfast in KL.

Since I am working, I definitely need the energy. I survived last week through cups of coffee and milos in the morning. This week, I tried to get up bit more early to get my breakie, well, I only manage to have bit spare time to buy NasiLemak today (after 2 workdays past).

The makcik prepared the nasilemak.. is SUPER DAMN slow! I arrived office and had my nasilemak. I dun really feel like eating it. *siGH* I just gobble it up and get back to work. I seriously hoped that I will feel more 'alive' after the breakfast.

Guess N.O.T!!

After an hour or so, I had this major discomfort coming from my tummy. YUP!! Toilet time. I dislike using public toilets.. esp on some major business that need to be done.I tried to resist ... not a good feeling :P . Anyway, am deseperate. I rush to the toilet with nothing in hand!

Well, everyone have a shitting habit I suppose... or I hope so. I confess. I like... err.. correction, I NEED to read in order to have a peaceful shit. Any reading... labels, sms, comics, watever and anything that have words will do.

So... anyone can imagine how uncomfortable I am. Sigh... Worse, the toilets in my office is always W.E.T. Gosh! I do not know why must there by water hose in each cubic.

After all was done, I continue my work. Roughly noon, my tummy GRUMBLES loudly!

My mission to have breakie D.I.S.M.I.S.S

Weekend on working life

It is Sunday evening now.

I realized something.

I felt 'alone' for the first time.

After arriving back from Ipoh (Cheng Meng), I went to do some errands today afternoon. As usual, I head down to shopping malls and all the crowded places. I went alone and get my glasses fix, my lenses, went to get my books that I ordered, went to get my meals and etc.

I felt different.

Ever since 2000, I have been doing my errands most of the time on weekdays. As am working on a 9-5 job, I have to do it on weekends.

The difference is that there are lots,lots, lots, lots more people in all the places that I've been. Kids, elders, couples, families, teenage, babies, mummies, daddies ... you name it.. they are all there.

Gosh.. when everyone has someone beside them and I have just me, myself doing my own errands. It does not really felt that good. I like to do my errands alone... actually, I love it. I can organize my own time, no need to worry about the companion I am with, I can leave as and when I want to plus I can also spend as long time as I want in places I love most.

Today,I quickly get back home and stayed in my room. I never felt that way before.

I used to love weekends. I longed for weekends. That was the time my ex would come look for me and that was the time I can spend more time with my family too. Well..that's past. Just that I never thought of that before. I never realized that I am alone until... well.. now?!?!

Well... the this is the working life and the single,bland,dull me on weekends.

4th day

I was late... (well.. predictable).

I had difficulty waking up. When will I be able to adjust the timing of my daily schedule? I had two alarms.

Anyway, what I wanted to touch on is about the rain.

Yup. It rain today... TWICE!
Once during lunch time.. and just before off-work. GOSH!!

I can't go hungry. So I definitely need to eat. I have to canceled the lunch with Kuan Mei and Jasmine ( they work nearby... err... just across the road..Huraay!! ) as they will be eating Pan Mee. The stall is quite a walk and I definitely dun wanna get wet. So I ended up eating at Wing's Cafe with my colleagues just across the building.

On the second rain, I had to go to the carpark. I already stayed back for half an hour. Could not stay another minute... as I am real hungry ( I always feel hungry when am working.. I wonder why? ). I left and rush to my carpark while the rain is drizzling.

Point to note : TAKE UMBRELLA TO WORK

I went home and search for my umbrella. My beloved umbrella is LOST! Did anyone borrowed it? I do not know where my umbrella is!!
It is a dark pink umbrella... foldable one.

Anyone who remembered where I put it? or Anyone who borrowed it?
Please kindly let me know.

*sNiFf*Sniff*

*SobZ*SoBz*

O btw, how can one survive with just 10 days of annual leave? ARGHHHHHH..... the sacrifices. I am use to the free times I had last time. Gosh. I use to have like 21 days of annual leave AND with the off days on every flight I take.
Now.. am just left with 10 days out of 365 days.

*sNiFf*Sniff*

*SobZ*SoBz*

*sNiFf*Sniff*

2nd day - Work

Got wee bit smarter.

I woke up earlier ( as got ample sleep ) and head out around 7.25am. Did my make-up and had breakie in the car. The time spent in car is shorter and time allocation is much better.

The hours at work seems shorter too. I got a few assignments in hand now. * SmIlz*
Gosh.. I learnt a bit more on finance now. * wInK*

Oh.. one thing. It is SO SO unfair. Why us, girls need to change our attire to work everyday? When most of the guys I know only change their work pants like once or twice a week!!! Plus they do not need to put make-up on!

O by the by! I HATE IRONING!!!!!!!!!!!! ( why most of the work cloths need ironing? )

Ps. Poor babe, san is sick... had her injection and in bed the whole day. Well, she blame that her 'devil friends' that caused her sickness. (BLekZ!!)

PPs.To all my dear friends (especially Penny,Grace and Janelle):
Please do NOT call me after 10.30pm... and you may call me at 8am now *Tsk*tSK*
Oh ... it only applies on weekdays. On weekends , go figure!!

Sleep time.
See !!! am sleeping early.

First Day - Work

I finally got a job.

My experience on the first day of work really make me think twice.

First of all, I got up late. Make sense. I am so use to sleeping late... go figure, the addictive drama series, I slept at 3-4 am. My alarm was set at 7am. I have to pressed snooze like 3 times. I finally manage to get up at 7.40am. It did get me perked up... straight up! Well I manage to showered, dressed, moisturized, make -up and make my bed all in 20 minutes.

THE TRAFFIC!
It could kill. Seriously. It kills.
I don't wanna get too much on it... it makes me stressful.

Arrived office JUST on time.
I must say the Endorsement Team is a very nice bunch. There's nothing much on so I practically fell asleep after a heavy lunch. Oh, the team went for SriThai. Spicy!!

Went off office right on the dot: 1730 hours
Traffic? MADNESS! I was frustrated and stressed up due to the traffic.
Was suppose to meet at Mont Kiara at 6.30pm with my friends. I only to manage to get there at 7pm

Happy Hour
Well, I think that was the best session of the day. We had like 6 jugs of beer or so and foods.
Thanks to San, Eli, Bin, Steph and Ivy. It makes me day.
I went back and slept at eleven.

Cd's

Well

I must say... spending the whole day watching drama series seriously KILLS!

Anyway, thanks to Eliza, I woke up at 12noon and get straight out of my bed, showered and had lunch with her.


All in all, I did my long overdue laundry, clean up my desk and drawers and alas, d/l my photos from my camera ( there are loads of people asking for their photos ... from CNY to BNE to PARTIEs to CONVOs and BDAYs). Well, I must say I had finish every single bits of it... so the problem now is to sort it out and distribute ( the trickiest part ).

Oh well. I bought a couple of CD's and...I can't get this band out of my head.. Help!




Introduced by Mr. Gavin Tang
Definitely will be in my Best Album list.

Along with it.. I bought ...

The Fray, How to save a life and Emi Fujita, Camomile Classics.

Peter Pan

The boy who wouldn't grow up.

Peter Pan is a book written by British novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie (1860–1937). It is a story of a mischievous little boy who refuses to grow up. Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood adventuring on the small island of Neverland as leader of his gang, the Lost Boys. (Taken from Wikipedia.com)

Well... am gonna start reading this enchanting book.

CHeERiOooo...

Some Pig, Terrific, Radiant and Humble

SALUTATION!

Yup... Watch Charlotte's Web the second time.

First time round in Singapore, during december and now again.

Did I mention about my trip to Singapore in December? Hmm.. anyway, nothing much.
The usual...

But I DO want to talk about this place at Clark Key call Brewworks. This is a place for BEER! They brew their own beer and have several kinds of it. The place is great. I will definitely drop by there again.

Another best place for a beer is Paulaner Bräuhaus, located at Time² @ Millenia Walk. Nothing beat this place. L-U-R-V-E the place. The beer is the best there and best place for happy hour too. Weissbier is definitely my choice.

Of Coz, the No. 5 Bar at Emerald Hill!!!!!!! This place is fantastic. At least to me and Shirley. I can say.. it's our frequent happy hour place. Every single time we go Orchard Road during our day off, we stop by there before we head home. The drinks are okay... but the PLACE itself! Well, it's really really a cool place. There are endless of peanuts serving and the shells, you can just throw it anywhere you want! It is a classic, unpretentious speakeasy placeis housed in a Peranakan shop house. The bar in the main room displays spirits, beers and liqueurs etc. beneath a wooden platform. Drinkers can sit on soft cushions or recline on Persian carpets. I give it a 5Star.

Gosh.. was suppose to talk about Charlotte's Web... Look where had I headed to, BEER!! ArGhh.. craving for it at this very minute (sh continue the night out).

Anyway, back to Charlotte's Web.

Again, I shed a tear or two. It's a very touching movie, at least to me. A truth and unquestionable friendship from two unlikely mix up.

*Beer Crave*

Just on Books

Am reading this wonderful book by Anna Gavalda.

Book title : Hunting and Gathering (Ensemble c'est tout in French)

I really love the character, Camille. She is this fantastic painter ( works as a office cleaner) who lives in Paris and does best in making herself invisible. She have aneroxic problem but with a big warm heart. Along with her new flatmates where one of them rescued her from her old habitant ( a 7th floor tiny attic.. completely miserable). So the story is about a near-anorexic artist, a chef, his granny, and a sad-sack aristocrat - who together become something more than the sum of their parts and make for a perfect novel. Each character is distinctively portrayed, full of wry humour and razor-sharp observation.

This book is so lovely written.

It's a novel that one will not want to put down.

Anticipation

I think one of the worse thing in life is on anticipation.

Seriously.

Especially when you are alone.

Boarding a plane alone is one of the scenario. Taking a train. A bus. A ferry ride.

Seriously.

I seriously hate it. Once sitted on the designated sit and finding the sit next to you is still empty. "Who will be sitting next to me?"All sorts will be going through my head.

Mind me, Please! The person next to you is really a big issue here. My eyes will be switching from one boarder to another.. looking at their prospect and their possiblity. My mind tend to fickle, busy with thoughts.. lotsa thoughts. Non stop. I think my blood pressure was given a boost too.

Big size??... NO! (I dun wan them to take up my space too !) Muscular??... NO! Female??... YES! Thin???.. YES!! Mothers with infant??... NO!(Gosh, it's troublesome plus it's not mine) Cute??.. YES! BradPitt look-a-like??...YES! YES! Old??... Yes!( they tend to be very nice) Clean??.. YES! Dirty-looking??... NO!NO! Sleezy??...NO! Smelly??.. NO! Gays??... YES! Teenagers??... Depends.
The list can go on and on.

It's like physical inspection but then you can't chose. Let fate decide.
It's just the anticipation that is what I hate. The waiting!

Oh well, the worst I came upon is a male, fat (Ang moh)... PLUS!! he got the alcohol breath whenever he talks or even breathing heavily. The smell is the most horrible smell that can actually come out from a human being. Worse then FART. Seriously!! No joke! I think the smell will be always there for an alcoholic. Gosh!with the hours spend sitting next to one.. SIckEnInG!!

Looking on the bright side, there is always a chance that one will meet their love-of-your-life on board. I know someone did. *WiNk*

So anticipation ... the waiting... the contemplation .Worth it or not... everyone of us will have to go through to know the outcome of it... good or bad? That's another whole new different thing altogether.

Lazy

Me know.. me slacking on the updates.

Me No fault.. just blame me laziness.

Me just feel like blogging now.

Just Simply

Got free tix to watch Last Kiss ( thanks to Grace and Penny ). They let me know about this contest in their company.. and I WON!!!

Ha... wat really caught me off guard is when the movie started to play my favorite song, "Hide and Seek" by Imogen Heap. Ha!! It's wonderful... EhHE.. such a beautiful song.

Oh well, the movie... It's about this mid-life crisis... Yikes.. I think I need to rephrase, more like a late-twenties crisis on a bunch of guys. It kinda tell the 'real' story of the 'us'. It has everything that most people will go through... breakups, divorce, adultery,mistakes, babies, arguements, forgiveness.. etc etc.

Good movie?? I give it 6 out of 10.

I started to read again. Yup!! I finally manage to finish the 2 seasons of Grey's Anatomy and now I am back to my books. Just finish a book, titled 'Kira-kira' by Cynthia Kadohata. Kira-Kira means "glittering" in Japanese... I know, in Malay, it meant "counting". Its obviously a wonderfully written book, about this amazing girl, Lynn and her sister, Katie in Georgia. Lynn makes everything beautiful.... unfortunately Lynn becomes seriously ill. The story is narrated through Katie's eye and ear.

A very sad, realistic story with a hint of hope and a reminder there is always sth glittering ( kira-kira ) that awaits you.

My next book, Love walked in by Marisa De Los Santos. Had only started a few pages.... I know it will be another good read! I can sense it through my veins!!

New words I learnt today :
1) Haringer - anything that brings a sign of the future
2) Palpapy - capable of being touch, readily seen,heard and percieved
3) Allegories - Symbolic representation
4) Asphyxiate - to cause to die or lose consciousness by impairing normal breathing, as by gas or other noxious agents; choke; suffocate; smother.
