where the tiger purrs

Rawr!

2009-02-01T13:34:00.002+11:00

I'm back I'm back! I'm back in KL!!

That whole journey was pretty much almost a 21 hour journey. From Melbourne to Perth to Singapore and finally to KL. Slept most of the time on the plane but really you just do not feel as rejuvenated as you would sleeping on a proper bed with pillows and bolsters.

It's a Tiger! Rawr!!

I came home at like 4 something this morning. And my sis woke me up at 11!! I am so freaking sleepy!!!

Singapore Budget Terminal

2009-01-31T08:25:00.001+11:00

I have been travelling for the past 15 hours or so and am now in Singapore budget terminal waiting for my next flight to KL. Will have to board soon so I'll make this quick.

I CAME TO SINGAPORE TO BUY FABIAN COFFEE AND ERIC MILO FROM MCDONALDS :)
BUT I ALSO MANAGE TO HAVE A MCSPICY WHICH IS SO ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!

Hello "cooling" weather in South East Asia. See you uber hot 40 degrees Melbourne in two weeks!

37 37 37 THREE SEVEN!!

2009-01-13T00:24:00.003+11:00

That's gonna be the temperature today. 37 degree celsius. Gonna effing burn to death!!

But I have to say, it has been a rather cool summer. And I am thankful for that. As for tomorrow, I'm sure I will survive.

By the way Isaac, yes, quarter life crisis indeed.. Why the hell am I not winning in mahjong?!? Lost two days straight already! Even when my tiles are superbly nice, I can't win. Sigh sigh.. :p

It's bedtime again. Cause I have to wake up early for work. And I think it's time to look for a new one.

I've never been able to not fall asleep

2009-01-12T01:36:00.002+11:00

It's true.

I've always been the master of falling asleep. Everyone knows that.

But when you have so much on your mind. I guess now I know how you can not just fall asleep immediately.

I really hate how things are currently.

This sucks.

I am gonna try to fall asleep again. With some music just so my mind would not continuously work with the silence. Damn it brain you're working overtime.

Happy New Year 2009 Fireworks

2009-01-04T09:50:00.005+11:00

I have been watching fireworks videos the past hour or so and I have to say Sydney's fireworks is probably one of the best in the world.

Kuala Lumpur's fireworks at One Utama and the Curve are pretty good as well but due to the video being taken by camera phones and the likes of it, I am not gonna link the video here.

London's fireworks.. Surprisingly not as interesting. There was no music to accompany the fireworks which I think is a shame cause music adds to the atmosphere.

New York. The traditional ball drop over in Times Square and the superbly grand fireworks at Central Park. The fireworks here is awesome it took my breath away. Watch it and look out for the hearts!! So amazing! So grand. I heart it! I'm sure that the million people out in the streets in New York would have enjoyed it too.

Let's leave it at that. I'm sure everyone enjoyed the fireworks display each city had to offer. But really watch the New York's fireworks. Totally heart it.

Once again Happy New Year folks.

Happy New Year

2009-01-01T22:12:00.002+11:00

It's January 1st 2009 today.

It's the new year. Time for the big countdown and for fireworks and celebrations.

Was out with the usual bunch. All eight of us down by the Yarra River. But somehow I felt rather lonely. I was not in the mood to have drinks and thought that I should have spent New Years some other way.

Today I've spend most of the day thinking about times back home with my family. I miss them. Maybe that's the reason. I miss home. So much so that even Sam from work said that I look like I do not enjoy working anymore.

Well I can't wait till it's the end of the month. Chinese new year falls on the 26th which coincidentally is Australia Day. Public holiday! Woohoo long weekend :p And that very Friday I shall be flying back to Malaysia. August is finally making his way to Europe by himself. Meeting a friend or two along the way. Hope you have an awesome five weeks there! Make sure you return with gifts :) Nah, I kid. Don't bring nothing. Just stories and lots of them.

I too would like to make a trip overseas. Would be saving up a bit before that happens. Have bought my new computer a few months back. Bought lots of clothes. Am pretty satisfied at the moment so I trust myself not to go on some random shopping spree. Anyway I know Ee Lynn wants to go overseas too. And August would like to make another trip there to the other countries he would not be visiting. So maybe then we can all go together or something. Really depends on the situation then. But the thought of it is pretty fun.

I'm gonna read a book then go to bed. Tomorrow is Friday. One day back to work and it's the weekend again. I kinda am comfortable with where I am right now but I'd like to go further. Start a business? Too inexperience? Or perhaps just afraid to venture into the dark.

Anyway, have a happy new year guys. Though the financial crisis seem to be hitting harder I wish everyone the best. That you have a roof over your head. That you have food to fill your hunger. That you have family and friends to support you in whatever you do.

Hugs & kisses

I Feel Like..

2008-12-08T23:40:00.005+11:00

Shit..

I am planning a trip back to KL and I'm looking for tickets. I am still a little hesitant about buying the tickets although I think I have scouted all possible sources for the cheapest ticket possible. And by delaying the purchase, I risk the price going higher and higher. Speaking my mind honestly, I am extremely excited and thrilled at the thought of going back. But then there is this effing storm overshadowing me and I am effing drenched in this storm!! No freaking idea what I am to do. You see I have graduated for a year now. And I still have yet to look for an accounting job. My current job a desk job which is not related to what I studied in university. To make matters worse, my mind keeps telling me that I am underpaid.

So what I need is a new job! Yes, easier said than done. Earlier this year I have the reason "waiting for my Permanent Residency" and now that I have received it, the bloody economy had to crash! Companies are downsizing - so if they are hiring, they'd probably hire someone who has better qualifications than I do. Yeah, my grades in uni are just okay. That's another regret I have to live with. But hey, I'm sure I would be a really worthy employee. I have been told by my current team leader that I am really good at what we do. Even so, prospective employers won't be able to see that in my application.

Alright so I have this trip back to KL on my mind along with looking out for new jobs. So let's see what the problem is here. Will I be back in KL when I would have just started? Wouldn't that be a terrible impression on the bosses considering I have just started. But hey, let's not think so far ahead.. What about if they schedule an interview then? DAMN!!

What else.. Let's see.. Oh house rental in Melbourne.. My younger sister would be coming here to Melbourne in February! Woohoo to that. But hey, that means I have to look for a new place to live at. Do you have any freaking idea how difficult it is to find a place here in Melbourne? I guess it would be alright if I did not mind travelling or if I had the money to pay for a more expensive place. But no! I am a poor measly fresh graduate without a proper professional job. If I were to find an expensive place to live at, there goes all my savings. And since my sister is coming here, I just do not want here to be travelling all around to get from home to uni and vice versa. She, herself, does not want that anyway. So my choices are very restricted.

So many more things in my head. I really do feel like exploding. I can feel myself kinda spinning right now. But it's good that I have been able to rant even if it's just half of what is on my mind. I just hope that things will turn out well.

I can't take anymore of this. Age really does get to you. This must be what they call quarter life crisis. It's terrible I can tell you that.

BrrBerry!

2008-11-24T21:38:00.000+11:00

Did I mention that it hailed on Saturday? Freaking cold on that crazy day!

Brrrrr...BERRY!

LOL! J Sing bought a Burberry wallet from Crown earlier! So awesome la! I also want!

Was looking at all the Burberry clothing. It's so super nice! I must really get rich as soon as possible so I can buy stuff like that. There was this two young girls who went in and bought a bag like it's grocery shopping. And three youngs guys did exactly the same! In fact they had bags in their hands from other stores around Crown. And I was totally empty handed. Even J Sing left with a bag!

E Ng must get rich soon!! Need to find a new job which pays well!!

Oh my.. I am turning into a pig.. That's not good cause I'll be eating my own kind. Mmm..

Anyhow, the weather the past few days is just so absolutely crappy. It hailed yesterday in Melbourne and today it was bright and sunny.. But still I just stayed in and watched all the movies I have not watched since I've completed downloading them..

Maybe I watch too much..

Desperate Housewives
Ghost Whisperer
Gossip Girl (Latest addition)
Grey's Anatomy
Heroes
House
Prison Break
Private Practice
Supernatural
The Amazing Race
Ugly Betty

And the animes I watch..

Bleach
My HiMe (Rewatching once again!)
Naruto
Soul Eater

But it's nice to cuddle in bed with my comfy blanket and watch then dozing off to sleep just cause it is so comfortable.

Well, that's pretty much my day today..

And now back to being a pig..

Gossip Girl

2008-11-23T03:15:00.002+11:00

So I've been watching Season 1..

And I've just finished the second last episode..

Daniel Humphrey - Bastard!!

xo xo

I Am Not Home..

2008-11-21T17:08:00.002+11:00

Always not home.. LOL! No surprise there.

I'm currently at J Sing's house. Waiting for F Lim to come pick us. They are still having their exams but we are still going for a run later. And later tonight dinner somewhere. Trying to pursuade this J Sing to join us for dinner. Must con him somehow. LOL!

Let me tell you this Singaporean guys are damn fit! They can continue jogging for 5km without slowing down much. Me? Die after 1km or 2km. Slow down to a walk then after 10 minutes of slow walking I continue to jog only to die again soon later. This is terrible which is why I am trying to go jogging as often as I can. Hopefully this will build up my stamina and allow me to continue to jog with them. Follow them at the same pace. But that would not be any time soon really. Worse is they are leaving for Singapore in less than 10 days! No more jogging buddy! How how? Will I have the motivation to go jogging by myself? I must motivate myself somehow!

J Sing is reading out loud his lecture notes. The way he read is hilarious. But I'm not laughing out loud. Don't want to disturb him. I kinda miss all this Uni stuff now that I hang around them so much. Even Tan E L's continuous "I miss Uni! Don't you?" makes me think about when I was still in Uni. I miss the things we do in Uni even studying for exams and doing assignments. Or at least that is what I am saying right now only because I am not doing any of those right now :P

We're still waiting for F Lim to come pick us up. If I don't move real soon I just might fall asleep.

High five J Sing! He is telling me how much he likes sleeping. We are both alike in the sense that when we sleep, we fall asleep in just 5 seconds. But I just cannot sleep 12 hours like he just did a few days back. I think he is going to fall asleep for 12 hours once again. He just said good night to me! Oh no! Gotta keep him awake to go for our jog around Albert Park! Damn I'm feeling tired now.

*Jog*

Wake me..

2008-11-20T17:02:00.002+11:00

When it is dinner time.

I am so freaking tired. Had so much to do at work today it is just not funny. My poor tired eyes need some rest and that is exactly what I shall do for an hour or two.

I am hungry too. So hungry I can eat dinner now.

Zzz

I have been wanting to do this..

2008-11-20T00:19:00.001+11:00

Update..

I wanted to start after meeting up with D Law and M Yow for a drink at Melbourne Supper Club but I forgot to bring my camera! Before leaving my place, I actually took my camera, left it on the kitchen top, went to the toilet and conveniently left home without it.. About 5 minutes away from my place, walking towards the tram stop, it hit me and that's when I swore "****". At least M Yow and I got D Law a lomo camera with blue flash. We were straining our eyes reading the instructions in the dim lighting which goes "Press the button, wait for the light and SNAP!" We failed miserably and D Law only managed to figure it out after passing it around for quite awhile. And when he took the first shot "I'm blue da ba dee da ba dai.." Ultimately strong BLUE flash just blinded me. Anyway I wonder how the pictures turned out. Make sure you pass it on to us when you have developed and scanned it okay Mr Law?

So that was Sunday night.

Today. I did not go to work. Instead I had a driving test which I passed! Actually I would not say passed - more like ACED it! The instructor was at a loss of words! Honest! He was like "Hmm I've nothing much to say. Proficient driving skills. There was a dangerous right turn which you completed with confidence." Pat on the back for me eh?

And tonight we also watched Quantum of Solace.. Mr J Bond was pretty disappointing in this movie. Maybe it's because of the lack of gadgets? Or could it be the lack of skin? Perhaps the scenes were rather confusing to me? I have to say it is probably because of all that combined. Either way it is still a movie you should watch at the cinema. Oh and do yourself a favour and refresh your mind by watching Casino Royale. I'm sure that too would help with the understanding of Quantum of Solace.

So I wonder if I would keep up with this. I miss this. Though I'd love to post up some pictures along with all this crap I wrote. But really it's just so troublesome the whole process of getting the picture up here.

One last note "Angels & Demons" Can't wait to watch that! The book is awesome!! Have you read it? I think I'll take it with me to work tomorrow.

Which reminds me it's late now.. Really late.. Need my beauty sleep. Or so Gossip Girl says.

It's Heart Aching..

2008-10-25T16:57:00.002+11:00

To hear that a family member has passed and you are helpless cause you are overseas.. You may not be all that close but there is a blood connection which makes all the difference.. The times you meet during wedding ceremonies, chinese new year reunions, family gatherings..

Even so what can you do even if you are with the family? Would it make a difference by being there?

It's worse when you hear your father break down and you know you can do nothing more.. He tries to control but there is only that much that he can hold it in..

So what else can you do except to let him have some time to himself..

2008-10-08T22:38:00.000+11:00

Today is a good day..

Sorry.. That's not right..

Today is an awesome day!!

Today I bought a new jacket from Jack London!!

Today I had hot chocolate with waffle balls from Max Brenners!! *winks at August*

Today I got my Permanent Residency!!

Catannnnn!

2008-08-26T23:04:00.003+10:00

Just got back from playing Settlers of Catan with Kai and August at MyCUBE! I think we are kinda addicted to the game that when we go back there the next time, we are gonna play the expansion set!

So, last week was my first week of working 4 days a week. I had Friday off! And just before I had the day off, something terrible happened at work!! So terrible that we were sent up to the 7th floor for about 2 and a half hours. Yes, we were quarantined!! We were left squashed together in this tiny tiny room and no one was let out to even go to the toilet!

Nah, I'm just kidding.. But we were really sent up to the 7th floor to be "quarantined". There was an anthrax scare as powder was found in one of the mail sent to us. Did not really find out what it really was but we were playing crossword puzzles, sudoku and cards while waiting to be let down again. We also ordered pizzas for lunch! Apparently this is the second time this has happened and the very first time, they really were left in a tiny room and no one was allowed out!!

This week I'm taking Thursday off.. It's Ee Lynn's graduation tomorrow! And I'll rush over to uni immediately after work.. It was David's graduation on Saturday. I saw Steph there and it was good to see her! She was at Sydney for training the past two weeks then took a few days off to come to Melbourne.. If only she were here to stay in Melbourne I would probably eat at pretty awesome places as she seems to know where all the good places are. Unfortunately she left for KL this afternoon.

**Oh no!! Air Asia is giving away 1,000,000 FREE seats!! And I am looking at it and planning my trip back to KL!! Unfortunately, it is only available in May, June and July. Since I have plans to search for an accounting job, I don't know if the time would be right to fly off then or not. I am torn :( Sobs**

Would like to end this post with a very big THANK YOU to Steph for buying me a belt! It is about time I got a new one as my current one from Mambo which I bought 2 years back is in a pretty bad condition already!! The belt is from Topman somemore!! Woohoo~~~

The End

2008-08-25T00:32:00.003+10:00

Olympics is over..

The ending ceremony was great.. Although the opening ceremony was just absolutely crazy!!

Overall, China was such an awesome host.

Also the end of the weekend already.. It's Monday as I type this and I have to get to work by 7am..

So, have a good night folks!

2008-08-17T23:58:00.003+10:00

As Mel puts it on her MSN nick

aihhh chong wei, chong wei

So much for a gold for Malaysia but I guess a medal is better than nothing. And silver is definitely pretty damn good.. Apparently the Malaysian government promised a RM1million for any athlete who returns with a gold medal, RM300k for silver and RM100k for bronze! That's a lot of money!!

It has been a fun day! Was over at a MoMU's event at MyCube Cafe over at Lygon Street. We played board games over there till evening. I reckon we should go there again!

As for yesterday, there definitely was no alcohol involved! Hey, I am no alcoholic and do not consume any alcohol :p

Went for table tennis over at Grace's place at College House which went on till the evening. After that we proceeded to take away Charcoal Chicken from a little restaurant at Kensington which we brought over to Ee Lynn's new crib with her brand new sofa and TV and Foxtel!! We were watching soccer which was pretty damn boring and eventually got to a game of poker. The card game session went on all the way. From poker to black jack to poker again! And by the time we left Ee Lynn's place it was already 7.30am.

I think I slept at 8.00am only to wake up at about 2.00pm only to go to play more games!

Crazy..

One more thing..

Happy Birthday Miss Gigi Ng

You're 12, I mean, 21!!

Yeah, you'll be getting your card real soon okay.. And when you come over, you get to buy something you want..

:: post scriptum :: will be adding some pictures later..

Erm can't remember what I wanted to write.. BUT GOOD NIGHT!!!

Yesterday..

2008-08-16T14:52:00.000+10:00

I went to play badminton immediately after work!
I left as soon as I could from work to meet up with Ee Lynn, Jeryl, Grace and May for badminton over at Albert Park.. But despite me leaving that soon, I still only met them about 45 minutes later at about 5.20pm. That was how long it took me to take the train and tram from my workplace to Albert Park.. Sien..

After badminton I went over to Jeryl's place for a quick shower.. Jeryl Jeryl.. He has so little things in his room that the first words that came out of my mouth was "Wah your room is so empty!" which apparently everyone said so when they first see his room. Then soon after he asked if he had too many clothes and open his closet door.. And really that tiny space could barely fit all his clothing.. Jeryl, no more shopping for you! And more shopping for us all! :p

We then rushed to meet up with Shane, August and Kai Yau for dinner in the city.. We were supposed to go for Sichuan food.. But most of us kinda chickened out.. Sorry Ee Lynn!! One has gastric problem.. One does not eat spicy.. And one (me) just did not want to die!!

We ended up over at Wing Loong after going from one restaurant to the next only to find QUEUES of people in every single one..

We met up with Isaac for a short while (which I thought ended up being pretty long). But was good since he leaves for Sydney today morning and then back to Malaysia. He would not be back anytime soon although he did say he would come back when Mel pressured him to.

Oh and David tried to scare Mel when he saw us crowding around Isaac's table at Max Brenners.. He was there having drinks with his friends too! What a coincidence! But it was good to have a mini-ketchup session with the midget (as Mel calls him).. Always good to see the fella with his aspirations to NOT be an accountant and pursue photography or marketing/management in the artsy-fartsy department. But hey, that's where all the fun and $$ is!! Apparently starting pay is like 100++k a year? Unless I heard wrongly from the midget. Too noisy over at Max Brenners.

We proceeded over to Crown to have desserts at Grecco with Fabian being the birthday boy and paying for us. That's cause his dad was around.. So thanks uncle!! Fabian and his dad looks so damn alike.. They could be brothers!

Anyway, of course we went over to the casino after desserts. Everyone was playing.. Poker.. Roulette.. Black Jack.. And me, I ended playing $10 on the pokies machine -.-" Next time I shall play roulette!! No more pokies!! LOL..

We left pretty damn late and I kinda just woke up about an hour ago.. 2pm :)

I am a happy boy.. OH!!! Table tennis with the guys!! Gotta run!!!!

2008-08-14T23:58:00.000+10:00

I missed it today..

Was at Panda's house today.. Played a bit of DotA.. Played the Wii!

Sigh why do I have work tomorrow? If only I had no work, I would be at crown with Ee Lynn, Fabian, Shane and company.. Missing out on tons of fun..

And tomorrow they are playing badminton!

Student life is really a care free life.. You can anyhow decide to hang out whenever you feel like it.. As opposed to working life where you have to get enough sleep so that you do not start "fishing" at work the next day..

I am still wondering if I should join them for badminton. What do I wear? How do I get there? A million questions to answer.. But first I shall rest my eyes.. The answer, I'm sure, will come to me in my sleep..

Good night!

Okay.. So I'm Lazy..

2008-08-13T23:08:00.000+10:00

La di da di da...

I am a lazy bugger.. I never do update this blog frequent enough.. Why? Cause I am lazy! Lazy lazy lazy!

Happy?

Huh?

Huh?

:p

Yeah, I'm just so terribly bad at this blogging business. You see everyone have posted about the ski trip which was so totally awesome.. Everyone except me..

Mel's Snow Bunny No More post..
Su Ann's Escaping Cold post..
Albert's Lots Of Getting Used To post..

And me? My post? Not up yet!! It is actually still in the making.. When it will be out I have absolutely no idea.. Still being left as a draft ^.^ So just to let you guys know that I will get it done..

On a side note, I am gonna start working a 4 day week from next week onwards! Well technically it is a trial this working 4 day a week thing. But still I am excited excited excited!! Not so much the hours I gotta work - 7.00am to 5.30pm.. But rather I am super excited about being able to rest on a weekday!

Erm.. Okay.. I am gonna take a shower now..

Tata for now!

I Burped.. And My Breath Smells Of Bak Kut Teh..

2008-08-10T15:08:00.000+10:00

Fabian had a house warming yesterday night..

It was a pot luck so people cooked up some dishes to be brought along with them..

Shane brought some sticky rice dish..
Alex brought roast chicken..
Eric brought some kinda chicken dish..
Su Ann brought asam fish..

And I..

I brought over bak kut teh!!

Ee Lynn and I went to Victoria Market in the afternoon to buy pork and mushrooms.. Then after we headed straight for Fabian's place at Franklin Loft to cook.. Unfortunately the Bak Kut Teh packet was left over at Mel's place and so the actual cooking did not take place till later in the evening.. Although it got a pass from Grace, I still think I should have cooked it for a longer period so the Bak Kut Teh taste would have been even stronger.. It would have tasted better too!

But all was good.. Everyone was full..

Grace and Fabian made their ice cream dessert which apparently did not turn out the way they would have liked it.. But still everyone had their share of the dessert anyway..

We played a game of poker which went on till 2am..

I won!

Off to the snow!!

2008-07-31T19:14:00.001+10:00

Yes yes I'm off to the snow in a few hours!! Very very excited!!

Last year I went snowboarding and this year I'm trying skiing..
Hope I'll be able to get the hang of it..

The Dark Knight

2008-07-19T11:54:00.006+10:00

IT WAS AWESOME
but somehow Shane and Jeryl did not think so

TEMPTATION 2!!!

2008-07-17T22:43:00.002+10:00

DAMN IT!!

I just went to the three website and they the Sony Ericsson C902!!

Should I change my phone??

From Sony Ericsson k850i to Sony Ericsson C902!!
How how how?

>.<

I cannot sleep tonight already..

Temptation

2008-07-17T21:58:00.001+10:00

I succumbed to temptation and bought a scarf and fingerless gloves from Dangerfield just now.

It was cheap!

>.<

Gonna watch The Dark Knight tomorrow! Can't wait can't wait!

It's gonna be a late night movie. Wonder what time we'll be out till.. If the movie starts at 11.45pm and it runs for 2 hours and 30 minutes, then we'll be out by 2.15am! But adverts and movie trailers at the beginning of the movie will take another 30 minutes!! So we'll be done by 2.45am?

Wonder if we'll have supper..

Doubt that though.. Shane, Ee Lynn and Jeryl will be leaving for Sydney at 8.00am! I think.. Hope they have fun there!

Now, I shall rest and get some energy for tomorrow! Nights~

2008-07-13T14:49:00.003+10:00

Woo yesterday a whole group of us went shopping at DFO Essendon!!

Did not spend as much as the last time but managed to get some pretty darn good deals!

Especially with the polo shirt I got from Polo Ralph Lauren. Have a go at how much I got it for.

$60? Nope..

$55? Nope..

$50?! Nope..

I was not even $45!

Nor $40 nor $35..

Was not $30..

BUT

$29

Haha! Shocked or not? But I do not suggest you go down to DFO right now and look high and low for this item at $29.. You probably would not find it since you would most probably be looking at the wrong side of the store.. No I did not walk over to the women's side of the store but rather the kids section at the back. Hung up high is a big sign saying "All kids polo $29". I bought a kid size polo! Man I never thought I would be visiting the kids department to buy clothes for myself at this age. I feel like Su Ann. If I am not mistaken, she has to visit the kids department sometimes to look for clothes her size. But so what? It just feels so awesome being able to buy clothes at a much cheaper price!

Maybe I should visit the kids department more often now.

Really have to thank Jeryl for letting me know about this awesome awesome deal. Feel super good right now.

Over Time

2008-07-12T07:53:00.002+10:00

It has been two days since I started work at 7am.

The boss wants us to get up to date with the workload and thus, the overtime.

$.$

But yesterday was a killer. Had major system errors and the system was running so slowly that my over time was not just for an hour from 7am to 8am.

IT LASTED ANOTHER 3 HOURS FROM 4.30PM TO 7.30PM

Was so dead after dinner at Shane's place last night.

But thanks Shane, Ee Lynn and Jeryl for such a delicious meal! I really thought it was super awesome. Although I really could do with more rice. Sorry Shane for complaining but I really had to have more rice to go with the delicious dishes!

The guys had lots of fun playing the PS3 and playing Sing Star on PS2 that the neighbour complained!! Wah just how much noise they made I have no idea cause I was sleeping like a pig upstairs. Slept through all the havoc and did not wake up till the guys decided to come up and jump on me. Luckily I woke up 3 seconds before they did that and managed to prepare myself for it.

Later today we are going to DFO Essendon. Shopping shopping! I want fingerless gloves.. I want a Nintendo DS!! I want more new clothes, a new phone, a new laptop, a car and also a house of my own! Wah.. Sorry was still sleeping.. *Slap slap* Okay, wake up already.. Yeah I'll see what I can get at DFO. Hopefully not too much but I think with Shane around, I will be super tempted to buy more than I should. Maybe I would not walk with him.. Hmm...

I have the habit of waking up early nowadays. But I shall catch up on my sleep since it is the weekend and so I'm just gonna lie in bed again. My hands are starting to freeze.. Off I go now.. Toodleloo~

DotA

2008-07-08T00:56:00.001+10:00

Wah so long never play DotA already!! I still find it fun! Even though I am not that good.. But still I managed to pawn some heroes! Woohoo~

Got to sleep now.. Got work tomorrow
*Sobs*

Mel the Incredible Pixie - Part 4

2008-07-05T10:38:00.001+10:00

:: Paw Print :: Sorry it took so damn long to write this post but I have been really tired after work everyday so I have pushed this aside for quite awhile. Now that it's the weekend and everyone is still in their bed, I am able to write this post.

Woo the pixie, Mel turned a whole 180 degrees and said "Can laaa.. What's wrong? Everyone knows I'm a bimbo already anyway..".

So here goes my very flattering portrayal of the incredible pixie!

Some would have heard of how David and I somehow managed to trick her into believing that she is one week ahead in the future. But that was probably only for half an hour or so.. She had to call Su Vyn to get the whole truth out of her. David and I were practically waving our arms like idiots telling her to go with the flow but she conveniently did not realise although we were just opposite her on the very same table T_T

But worry not for that is not the end!

You see, for a gazillion years now Mel, and apparently everyone else she knows, have been unsuccessful in streaming hitz.FM on the internet.. But I have always been able to listen to stream hitz.FM. So I googled about streaming hitz.FM and managed to find an answer!! Wanna know? Ask me. LOL :p

So early the next morning, or more like, 4.00pm in the afternoon when the pixie has just rose outta bed, I messaged her on MSN.

Here's how it went.

Woo, I am a clever boi!! :p

But yeah, for all you Firefox users who wanna stream hitz.FM, just go download Internet Explorer!

:: Paw Print :: Alright I have sort of convert from being an Internet Explorer user to a Firefox user as well. And as I am currently writing this I am streaming hitz.FM from Firefox 3.0! Go figure..

So what has all that hitz.FM got to do with Mel?

Go on reading!

(4:03 PM) marauderMel:::	wah lucky man!

Poor girl!! Must be extremely stressed out that she thought Saturday was a Sunday. If she continued thinking so, she would have gone to the exam hall on a SUNDAY!!

So, this time round, it was she herself who tricked herself into believing "tomorrow" is actually "the day after tomorrow".

Just when I thought this person has a mix of all things pink and all things blue, I think our pixie is really just someone with all pink going on in her.

(7:31 PM) marauderMel:::	LOL
(7:31 PM) marauderMel:::	OH NOOOO
(7:31 PM) marauderMel:::	YOURE GOING TO EMBARASS ME FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO SEE!
(7:31 PM) marauderMel:::	you beeeyotch!

:: Paw Print :: I hope the pixie does not kill me.. She is back in KL having fun so hopefully she won't be so mad when she reads this..

Mel the Incredible Pixie - Part 3

2008-06-23T17:52:00.002+10:00

LOL Shortly after the rejection, I got the pixie's approval.

So wait for it.

Mel the Incredible Pixie - Part 2

2008-06-22T19:32:00.001+10:00

One word.

Rejected.

The End.

Mel the Incredible Pixie - Part 1

2008-06-22T00:11:00.009+10:00

Have you met Mel?

Well, she's my very very good friend.. And although we were in Cempaka since God knows how long ago, we only became buddies when I got to Melbourne three years ago.

Anyway, she is a rather interesting person..

I find her to be all knowing, mighty capable etc etc.. I shall not continue for fear her head might explode from all that praises. Yes, it is mighty surprising considering how she talks so much about shopping and make up and all things pink but at the same time knows much about gadgets and cars and all things blue!

And so when you talk to her and as you start to think that maybe she is really a he, he then goes on to say something totally bimbotic and it's back to "oh, she is really a she". LOL!! Sorry Mel, but you agree don't you? And not that that is a bad thing! I tell you it is people like this that are most fun to hang out with! Like I said, she can talk about all things pink and all things blue, so really there is much to talk about.

So what's with all this post about Mel?

Something rather pink she said triggered me into writing this post. But first, let me get her approval.. It is after all about her that I am writing about..

So might I add, do not pester her or she might disagree..
Let me be the one to ask and we shall see..

Part 2? Maybe.. Maybe not..

Hi hi!! This is Mel and I

Brain freeze

2008-06-21T15:12:00.002+10:00

It's been wet and cold..

Hence the brain freeze..

Hence the silence..

Retard

2008-06-11T23:30:00.002+10:00

So last night I had dinner with Ee Lynn and she delivered some rather interesting news..

August won money from playing poker at Crown la!!

Hey August, where's our dinner la?!? Don't be so kiam siap can or not! No need dinner also at least a drink la!!

LOL!! Wah I damn bad la! Haha!!

If you're thinking that I'm going to call August a retard.. He does not deserve it.. :p

Being called a retard is specially reserved for the group of guys who sat in the back row of the cinema right behind us.

THEY ARE !@#$%^&*()(*&^%$#@! RETARDS LA!!!

As I mentioned in the previous post, I went to watch The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian yesterday night.

There I was, all comfortably seated in the Hoyts' huge ass seat. Still brightly lit, everyone in the cinema was not yet settled.. Laughing out loud and discussing amongst one another the trailer on screen.. Girls screehing "OOooh so cute! I wanna watch that" and guys stating "So much action! Must watch.. Definitely must watch..".

But suddenly in the back you hear some idiot making stupid noises and stupid comments.

I guess everyone has a right to say what they want.. Freedom of speech to each person.. BUT THERE HAS TO BE A LIMIT LA!!! )(*&^%$#@!@#$%^&*()

A minute in the movie he started to make some wise ass comment.. I wanted to give him a piece of my mind but at the very same moment I turned my head, August shouted out loud, "SHUT UP MAN!". Wah if Ayu were here, she'd melt to his feet and say "My herooo".

But noo, that was not enough..

Another minute later, his mouth had to open again!! AGAIN WHEN THE MOVIE HAS STARTED?!? AGAIN?!?!

NOW I CANNOT TAKE IT ANYMORE SO I TURNED AROUND AND ANGRILY BUT SOFTLY EXPLODED "CAN YOU PLEASE KEEP QUIET!!". And that was not a question..

But still he had the nerve to reply " Can you waddd? Can you waaa?". Like the idiot he is he did not get the message but luckily his friend got the idea and asked him to keep it down..

I hope I don't meet idiots like that again.. I was so tempted to call an employee to get the bunch of them out of the cinema. But he managed to shut up..

Anyway, the show was pretty damn long and it was pretty damn slow.. But I managed to stay awake throughout the movie.. Tells how much I want to watch this show huh.

Also to calm down, listen to this song, The Call by Regina Spektor. It's the soundtrack of The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.

Techno Chicken

2008-06-10T17:32:00.003+10:00

Sorry guys.. Have not been blogging.. ALl because I have been busy clubbing la!!

Nah.. I kid.. Clubbing? Last was pretty damn long ago.. But it was fun :)

Anyway, I just clicked on a random link in youtube and came upon this Domino's Techno Chicken and found it so cool that I decided to put it up here.. This place has been dead for way too long and a chicken bobbing its head and shuffling its feet is bound to bring back some jive to this place.. And to me to start blogging again.. I hope..

*cough cough* Sorry am kinda sick now.. :(

Gonna go rest awhile now before watching The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian later.. :p

$39.95... $399.95!!

2008-05-18T13:18:00.002+10:00

So I've been missing for quite a bit.. Lots has been happening..

I've been working full time now.. From 8am to 4.30pm.. I'm still wondering if I should take half hour breaks and leave at 4pm instead.. *thoughtful look*

And August has found a job too! He's over at Max Brenner QV and he'll be there Monday to Friday this week.. Hardcore since he just started last Wednesday.. Although him getting this job means more money to be spent at Max Brenner but it's all good.. The last time we went, we sat for about 2 hours playing the Nintendo DS as we sip our hot chocolates :)

Enough about work.. Work is just awesome as I see $$ coming in.. My eyes are all like --> $.$ Haha money face! But really I already am thinking of buying a Nintendo DS.. Can't hog on to Mel's DS all the time.. And lately I've been playing this game called 'The World Ends With You' and it is just such an awesome game!! I think I might be playing it later as soon as I'm done blogging :p So if you have a DS, go get that game!!

Also, yesterday a bunch of us went shopping at DFO Essendon.. Shane, Jeryl, Alex, Jimmy, Grace, Kern, Fabian and Fabian's dad.. Oh and not to forget his royal highness.. Anyway, no one bought much actually.. Some even left empty handed!! Well, maybe except for the two guys who wondered around together by themselves.. It's all Shane's fault I tell you!

Erwin : Eh, that jacket quite nice la!
Shane : Go and try it! What's stopping you?
Erwin quickly looks away in hopes of not finding anything else worthy of swiping his brand new Visa debit card..

See!! How could I not leave without stuff in my hands?? If it were..

Erwin : Eh, that jacket quite nice la!
Shane : MMm yeah it's okay.. But seems like your hands are full doesn't it?
Erwin quickly looks away because he is thinking of how much money he has since spent..

Now I probably would not have bought as many clothes if I were put in that situation.. LOL!! But I guess I did not spend excessively.. It was just right an amount.. I would have taken pictures for you to see.. But I'm just lazy.. So let me just let you know what I've bought..

Two pillows from Sheridan
Two pullovers from Essential Man
A hoodie pullover from Industrie

It was all pretty damn cheap..

I've decided to take some photos!! Just cause it'll be nicer to see some pictures :p

Two pillows from Sheridan - $34.94 after 30% discount

Sheridan pillows!! Zzz..

Mmm nice to hug

Two pullovers from Essential Man - $52.. Orinally $39, there was a buy 2 get 1 free promo so Shane got one and I got two!

Pullover number one from Essential Man

Pullover number twofrom Essential Man

And lastly

A hoodie pullover from Industrie - $39.95 after a $15.00 discount!!

Hoodie with buttons!

Can unbutton also!

$39.95 only! Happy happy :)

Oh wait.. I think I got charged $399.95 instead..

the high life in the after life

2008-05-01T14:11:00.002+10:00

As I was working this morning, I came across a comment on a returned mail..

This woman is dead..

What is a dead person going to do with a credit card?

I thought that was unnecessary but it gave us quite a laugh..

Brad, my team leader, was laughing and asking Michelle, a co-worker, "Hey Michelle, what can a dead person do with a credit card?". Michelle had nothing to say as Brad continued laughing out loud.

Inside, I was thinking, "You could burn it for her and she can use it in the other world!" >> think chinese customs << I'd say she would be pretty happy with that.. Don't you?

lion fight

2008-04-26T16:51:00.006+10:00

The contest is a lion fight..

So chin up, put your shoulders back..

WALK PROUD! But strut a little..

Don't lick your wounds.. Celebrate them..
The scars you bear are the sign of a competitor..

You're in a lion fight..

Just because you didn't win doesn't mean you don't know how to roar!

-Grey's Anatomy S04 E12-

Woot woot! Most of the tv series have started again!! For your 411, I watch damn a lot of movies!!

Ghost Whisperer - 4 April
Grey's Anatomy - 24 April

Lucy Liu.. Where are you???

And Heroes would only be out in September?!?! WTF!!!

And and Prison Break!! What's to happen to Ee Lynn's bald and hunky men?? *wink wink Ee Lynn*

Oh well.. At least there's still Jennifer Love Hewitt and all that desperate housewives.. Not to forget Miss Ugly Betty, America Ferrera.. :)

But but but still..

*rawr*

Hot bargain!

2008-04-18T15:14:00.004+10:00

First let me start off with a warning..

Warning: Pictures overload! Do not load blog for fear of internet data usage overdose!

But I shall make sure it's a smaller size so it would not take too long to load them..

-----------------------------

I've got a new gadget!

It's a new phone from Three!! And it's a Sony!

It's a Sony!

I have this other phone which still has to be paid off for the next six months. So when they told me I can get a new phone for free.. Well, with the exception that I continue paying the other phone for the next six months, you just have to admit that it is a pretty damn good deal..

I know I know that every other Tom, Dick or Harry would be able to get the same deal but at least they do give these sort of deals.. AND AT LEAST I AM SMART ENOUGH TO TAKE UP THESE SORT OF DEALS THE MOMENT THEY COME ABOUT!! Carpe diem says the Latinos!

So, the phone I got?

A Sony Ericsson k850i!

The Sony Ericsson k850i

Oooooh

Aaaaah

I've downloaded many themes and have learnt to used the phone since I have always been a Nokia user. It's just too bad they do not have any nicer Nokia phones such as the Nokia N82 in Three.

So free new phone for the next 24 months?
HOT BARGAIN!

Ooh forgot to add.. It has a bloody 5 megapixels camera and to add to that, a shake shake phone just like the Sony Ericsson W910i (Shake shake except the shake to change music)!

-----------------------------

So that's where I was Sunday April 6th.. And that is Cliffe and Kai's new place! We were there for a BBQ which went on from noon till night! It was so much fun!

Okay.. Maybe it wasn't so much fun for all of us.. But I certainly had a lot a lot of fun! I know Mel did too! We were too busy taking pictures of events ongoing there.

See.. When we reached their house, which although was about an hour later than planned, not much had been done.. The BBQ set was not even fixed yet!!

Can I come out now??

Erm.. What now?

So we started with music playing from Mel's ASUSTeK Eee PC to get into the house party mood..

Mel's ASUSTeK Eee PC

BUT STILL

We waited..

And waited..

And waited

STILL NO FOOD!!

We could not get the charcoal burning and it took so damn long that Su Ann decided to make her lemon meringue pie..

Ooo what's this?

Su Ann's lemon meringue pie!

And then Jerome and Emily came.. The moment Jerome came it was like things just changed for the better! He got the BBQ started.. The charcoal was burning.. And everyone was just very happy to be able to eat soon..

This is how you do it, mate!

Progress? I hope so!

Kai says we're all good and ready to go!!

So the BBQ eventually got started and it was all hot and ready.. So they started with sausages :) Yay! Food!

While playing cards, I overhear Kai asking Jerome for some BBQ tips..

Kai: Hey, how do we control the fire?
Jerome: Just sprinkle some water

I think that was what Kai did..

*sprinkle sprinkle*

Kai: Erm.. Jerome? It's not working!
Jerome: Huh? What? Let me see

And then suddenly all I started to hear was

Kai: Bring the thongs! Go get the bloody thongs!

Out came the cameras as Mel and I rushed to capture moments of this burning hot event!

BBQ OUTTA CONTROL!!!

Oh boy.. You can even see the fire coming out from the bottom of the BBQ set!!

WHAT DO WE DO WHAT DO WE DO??

Jerome then attempts to lift the cover..

AND THE FIRE ROARS!!

Jerome feeling helpless

A very panicky Kai started to ask if we need the fire extinguisher.. Everyone too shocked by the event could hardly utter a reply.. Regardless he rushed out and brought in the fire extinguisher.. But only to ask "How the hell do you work this thing?".

Once again, Jerome came to the rescue and took control!

Aim..

FIRE!! **pun intended**

We had to wait many many minutes for the smoke to disappear and by then all the starving souls forgot about how hungry they were.. Especially when we saw what we were about to be served..

Burnt sausages..

So BBQ at Cliffe and Kai's place??
HOT BARGAIN!

$69.95 a hot HOT bargain indeed!!

part time!

2008-04-16T16:39:00.002+10:00

I got a part time job which starts next Monday!

Hours are 8am - 12pm.. Short and sweet.. I like!

But how the hell am I gonna wake up so early in the morning?!?!

meow!!

2008-04-14T12:30:00.004+10:00

Wooo....

A new look!

How do you like it? I'm lovin' it! I really am.. I think it's because I got bored of the old design.. And this one is cute and erm.. cute!

So all that "till next week" crap.. It'll come soon.. Sometime this week.. Haha! Even David left a comment "..." Speechless eh?

*Runs off to try and do some hand stands*
Damn it.. Failed!

Okay.. August, Mel and I have been watching America's Best Dance Crew followed by Step Up 2: The Streets. Not to forget August recently showed us a music video of Wonder Girls on youtube..

Warning: Do not watch video for fear of song getting stucked in head!

Wonder Girls - Tell Me MV

Just a few days after I saw that video, Isaac sent me a link of some traffic police & cute boy Tell Me dance. WTF?!? What the hell is a traffic police & cute boy Tell Me dance??

Warning: Do not watch video for fear of song getting stucked in head!

Star King #48 - Traffic Police & Cute Boy Tell Me Dance (en)

As such, there is much hype about how dancing is uber cool among us three. So much so that August showed Mel and I how breakdancers start off doing handstands.. Using our arms as support, we rest our knee/shin on our arms and try and hold ourselves up for a few seconds.. Just two seconds on our arms and we get a OOHHH WAHHH from Mel.. But that's only because we can hardly stand or even a second. Worse is when we try to move our hand forward! Half a motion forward and down we go..

Eat muh dust says the floor.
