I'm on leave from today until Jan 5, because I can, and because I'm lazy. I need a break from being cheap labour.. either that or practicing the fine art of stoning in front of the laptop for 8 hours.
I am now a pro at operating the big bad printer/photocopier/scanner.. and finding source documents.. wooohooo
Wednesday, December 3, 2008
Anyway, I'll be going back home in 2 days! WHEEEEEEE! And I won't be greeted with a slap of Unemployment to the face, because I finally secured an internship =) Whooopeee...
And.. if all goes well, I should be getting tickets for the Coldplay concert tomorrow. =)

That doesn't mean I'm any wiser though.. considering all the stupid things I've said and done.
My exam's ending next Wedesday. Two more papers to go. My first 2 subjects have already gone to Hell, so I'm hoping I don't self-destruct and blow my final 2 subjects too.

During my first hour trying out the game I've... accidentaly destroyed a house by throwing a rock at it.. flung a sick man across the land also by accident.. and accidentaly destroyed another person's house by dropping a huge piece of rock too close to the entrance. Yeah, I'm unintentionally sadistic that way.
In that game, you get to choose a "Creature" which is supposed to be your "Godly form" or some sort. There's three retarded looking (thanks to the "awesome" graphics) animals to choose from. I chose a cow. Big fat stupid lazy retarded Moo all the time cow. Yeah.
I think I need to find something better to do. And post less boring stuff as well.
I'm flying home in One month. Wheee.

They rammed a wall of metal into a 400 mile per hour made of diamond, and the resulting explosion shifted the earth's orbit 400 million miles away from the sun, saving the earth from a meteor the size of a small Washington suburb that was hurtling towards mid-western Prussia at 400 billion miles per hour. They shot a diamond made of iron at a car moving at 400 walls per hour, and as a result caused two wayward airplanes to lose track of their bearings, and make a fatal crash with two buildings in downtown New York. They spun 400 miles at diamond into iron per wall. The results were inconclusive. Finally, they placed 400 diamonds per hour in front of a car made of wall traveling at miles per iron, and the result proved without a doubt that diamonds were the hardest metal of all time, if not just the hardest metal known to man.

My throat has been aching like crazy since yesterday, I really don't know why. All of a sudden, I woke up with one hell of an aching throat. Drinking water can be torture sometimes.
I'm at a loss for what to eat for dinner everynight. Instant noodles is always an option, but I love my artificially coloured red hair very much. Plus, I don't want to return home and end up being Yun Nam haircare's latest ambassador. Haih =(
I feel like going somewhere expensive to eat for a change. I do have the money.. After all, I did save a four figure sum of AUD to bring here.. I miss the indulgence of going to expensive restaurants to have a gastronomic meal once in a while haha. And the MYR-AUD exchange rate has been extremely favourable lately!
Sunday, August 24, 2008
I've only completed 9.77% of the game so far =(. Such a long way to go.. I wish I have my own PS3.
Monday, August 11, 2008
I took a measly amount of pictures that night.. All the other pictures were taken by other friends. It can be found on Facebook if you're curious and resourceful enough.. at least I don't look wasted in them.
I missed the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony =(. However, I was wearing my Beijing Olympics t-shirt earlier during the day ahhahahahha. Official merchandise you know!
First assignment due on Thursday, arghhhhh! Lots of textbook reading left.. at least I've finished the reading pack one. OB is not as boring as Cost Management. CM is real hell and is officially one of the most boring subjects I've ever taken. Makes me seriously question a future career as an accountant. Thank god for finance..
Oh, and about how the MNC interview went, let me summarise it in 3 words:
It. Was. Shit.
Wednesday, August 6, 2008
Wish me luck..
Tuesday, August 5, 2008
Did more origami for OB tute today. This time it was those "fortune-teller" thingies most of us used to play during our childhood. I, together with another person, had to teach the members of our group the fine art of folding those things as a tutorial activity.
Last week it was folding paper planes for Cost Management.. now this..
I think I should sleep now.

I would like to politely ask the people mentioned above to
PLEASE FUCK OFF BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM, presumably CHINA.
I have been putting up with all the noisy music and loud irritating high-pitched whiny fucked-up voices of yours ever since I've been here. And thanks to your apparant lack of IQ or a brain, I have gotten calls from our friendly security guards on the ground floor to keep the "volume" down in my room. WHEN ALL THE SHIT COMES FROM YOUR PLACES. Even the loudest volume i play my music at can BARELY BE HEARD FROM OUTSIDE MY DOOR. So Minda and I have had to take all of your fucking crap on your non-deserving behalves.
I went out of my room and walked right next door and YUP. THE LOUD NOISES. FROM NEXT DOOR. DOING FUCK KNOWS WHAT. The next time I get a call I might be so angry I might just give the guard a good scolding and ask him to call your unit instead.
My hatred for my neighbours grows day by day, amplified by the ear-piercing decibles emnating from their rooms. Fucking deaf ingrates. I bet their eardrums are already fucking busted thanks to their constant abuse and think that their voices are like music to other people's ears. NEVER HAVE I HEARD SUCH ANNOYING GRATING VOICES IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
Many thanks for destroying my peace and for the panda eyes I will definitely have in the afternoon thanks to your thoughtlessness.

Sometimes I play 3-card Solitaire too. I rarely win =(
I've given up trying to pass the final stages of Penguin Fever. It's so frustrating since the game seems to allow no room for creativity.. If the solution I come up with doesn't match with the game's set solution, I still end up losing, even though I managed to knock down all the penguins. Dammit.
I feel so tired today. Still am not used to waking up fairly early to attend lectures.. Doesn't help that the lectures don't seem to be very interesting so far. Apart from the paper plane making and throwing session today, haha! Fell asleep during law lecture even though I had 1 large coffee before that..
I can't wait for the week to end..

I cooked oreo dory for dinner today! It's not dory with oreos.. it's actually one of the dory varieties. It was the first time I've attempted cooking fish which is not breaded or covered in tempura batter, so I'm damn proud of myself =). Tasted quite good too in my opinion. I still have a few pieces left so I'm going to cook more dory again one of these days.
I miss eating fish sooooo much, especially fish cooked chinese style. I'm really craving for steamed river fish with soya sauce... one of my all time favourite dishes...

Classes are resuming in 2 days time.. I like my timetable this sem, because all my classes are in the afternoon =D. Lazy me always seems to fall asleep during morning classes.. and I get Tuesdays off! So it's all good..
Monday, July 14, 2008
Good thing I should be going out tomorrow! Yay more food! I've cut down on eating since I've been back here in Melb but my love for food is still as strong as ever, haha.
I feel like going down to the city to window shop and to get more wine/liqour.. hahaha I'm NOT an alcoholic ok.. just the OCCASIONAL drink now and then. No, I'm not in denial. Shhhhhhh..
I want to get a new white scarf to replace the one that magically disappeared.. I loved that scarf so much =(.. but EVERYTIME i go to the store where the scarf is sold.. they don't have that colour! That shop never has what I want when I really want it and when I don't plan to get anything.. IT'S THERE. Kinda weird...
Apart from that.. I'm not in the mood to buy anything else.. I think I already have enough shoes and clothes for now.. must practice self-restraint...

Looks like changes and sacrifices have to be made next semester..

At Lindt Cafe, Darling Harbour, Sydney
Since I've been back from Sydney, I bought another pair of shoes to increase the total amount of shoes I have with me to 11 (my very own football team of shoes), and re-dyed my hair. It's now a lovely, brighter shade of red than the one I had previously.. very satisfied with it.. Hope I can get the same colour done at home since 2 shades of red were mixed to create my current colour..
The boredom has slowly but surely started to sink in.. Especially since there hasn't been that many interesting shows on tv these past few days.. I feel like dota-ing =/ been ages since I last played =(. My laggy wireless internet doesn't allow it now.. the ping time is madness..I wish I could watch CHELSEA play BACK HOME! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..... If Lampard's playing, I think I could cry.. Why can't they come in December instead?

I shall not list down those things here because the list would be rather long.. Anyway if you have known me long enough, you would know AT LEAST one thing.
I have taught others things that they shouldn't be doing.. things that a morally upright society will definitely frown upon =P.
Even though it greatly benefits those who maintain those 'corrupt' practices at the expense of others..
I am a bad influence...
Don't go telling your parents that I am the one who encouraged you if you ever have to go to rehab for alcoholism or get fined by tram officers, ok?
Most of you are older than me anyway, who asked you to follow what I do?

An Open Letter
I would like to say 'thank you' for that wonderful surprise you had in store for me and my friends this morning. Sadly, I neither see the humour nor the fun of that surprise. Maybe 10 years from now I'll go "Ha Ha Ha, That Was Hilarious!", but right now, it is very difficult for me to laugh and see the lighter side of things. I'm sure you meant well though. You can't be THAT sadistic, right?
P.S: You suck.

interesting..
You Are An ISTP |
The Mechanic You are calm and collected, even in the most difficult of situations. A person of action and self-direction, you love being independent. To outsiders you seem impulsive, surprising, and unpredictable. You are good at understanding how all things work, except for people. In love, you tend to be very easy going and flexible. The only thing you can't stand for is someone trying to change you or your life. At work, you can stay completely calm under pressure. You handle stress well. You would make an excellent pilot, forensic pathologist, or athlete. How you see yourself: Logical, flexible, and unconventional When other people don't get you, they see you as: Indecisive, flippant, and disrespctful |

The time where I nerd to the extent that on the dreaded exam day itself, I would (hopefully) be able to spew all the answers out on the exam paper..
And 'magically' forget all the material I have studied for the moment I put my pen down for the final time that day.
For the first time ever, this would also be the time where I unoficially 'close' the kitchen for dinner, because I really can't be bothered to cook a proper meal for myself to eat and really too busy..
Not to mention.. I AM LAZY!
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Hehe!
I've gotten myself an early birthday present ><. Bought a trench coat yesterday for $70.. shhhh don't tell anyone.. HOPEFULLY I'll stop buying more clothes from now on.. at least until there's a huge sale or something.
The finales for Desperate and One Tree Hill were so.. ARGHHHHHH.. the endings were so full of suspense. Can't wait till September when the new seasons premiere for all the tv series i watch.. Heroes 3 hour season premiere woohoo!

An update..
I bought The Age Cheap Eats Guide 2008.. such an expensive food guide (after conversion), but I think it's quite worth the money I paid for it.. I love trying out new places to eat.. and the only places I can afford to try out here are the ones which are CHEAP.. haha. I can hardly afford any of the places featured in the Good Food Guide =(.
Right now I'm looking forward to my birthday! It's like.. the most important day of the year for me. This year.. I've booked a table at a Japanese restaurant named Izakaya Chuji for my birthday dinner.. I always make it a point to spoil myself rotten on my one special day of the year =). Hope that the food's good.. Especially since it is awarded 2 stars in the cheap eats guide..

Do I go back home and cook dinner and watch TV then (hopefully) go to sleep?

Monday night cooking session
I'm STILL applying for jobs here and there.. learning from this experience and hoping to finally manage to secure a job soon. Really cutting down on my spending now by preparing lunch at home =)
I have three assignments due between 8-12 May.. it's killer, but I feel that there's less pressure compared to before since I don't have anymore mid terms to study for. Mid terms here are really hellish and stressful, absolutely nervewrecking .Totally different from HELP. I find it much tougher here =S.

Minda's Yoyo. It was.. so-so.. even the cheap cakeshops in Malaysia can come up with this..
"Grape fruit roll". More like Grape Shit if you ask me.. It's sis-in-law's FAVOURITE MUSICAL INSTRUMENT TOO HAHA. TOK TOK TOK. Stupid rock hard piece of sh*t. It was the most expensive dessert out of the 4 somemore.
Bro's chocolate mud cake. Looks nice, right? But the insides were so damn DRY..
So the conclusion is.. DO NOT go to the dessert place at Lonsdale St, next to Stalagtites. You have been forewarned.
Apart from that, we also had Vietnamese beef noodles at Russel St, and chinese dinner at Sharks Fin House at Little Bourke St, which in my opinion, is the most OVERRATED chinese restaurant in Melbourne. I found dim sum there just plain average.. thankfully their dinner dishes are better. But they have that stupid minimum $15 per head charge..
We'll be trying out Pacific House at Richmond this Friday! Planned to go to Glen Waverly for some dim sum on Saturday but I just remembered that I am volunteering for the MASCA Intervarsity games.. yeah man I'm so involved in extracuricullar stuff now hahaha.
We plan to try out new makan places every Friday from now on.. and start a food blog to document our culinary experiences.. However, we don't have a name for our group yet =(.. Any suggestions?
I've also managed to secure a Group Assessment invitation from Safeway supermarket.. if all goes well.. I would officially be a working overseas student. I have to get through this and pass the 2nd interview as well.. The extra cash would do very very nicely to fund my shopping trips.. =) I just bought shoes today.. 3-inch wedges.. only $20 because the store had a 60% off storewide sale. Nice nice me likey.. I shop tooooo much here.. compared to back home.. haih.. the currency exchange rate doesn't help much either.
I also bought Levi's jeans from the Spencer St. DFO! BEST BARGAIN EVER. Only $25. The original price was $100. If you don't think that's an awesome bargain, you ought to be whacked with those jeans..

Let me show you some of the stuff I've cooked so far..not in chronological order..
I'm going to keep updating this post from time to time to show more of my dishes..

It isn't easy juggling with so much more things than I used to handle when I was back home.. not that I'm complaining about it. But once in awhile.. the stress of it all kinda gets to me a little.
So the easiest way to regain some semblance of sanity in my life is to..
Just forget about everything for awhile..
Relax..
Have some mindless chatter..
And a bottle of beer. =)
