Phewh.... I've been very lazy to update this poor blog :P

Just to let whoever who actually reads this blog know:

-No, I haven't died of dehydration from sweating so much here..

-No, I haven't been caught and sued for sodomy.

-No, I haven't been detained and burned alive for thinking that calling Ti Gong as 41|@H would be a fun thing to do.

-And no, I haven't been caught for magically teleported 2 jet engines across the Pacific to Uruguay.

So, yes! I'm still very much alive in Malaysia ;) Happy New Year of the Tiger~!

柏拉圖有一天問老師蘇格拉底什麼是愛情？
蘇格拉底叫他到麥田走一次，要不回頭地走，
在途中要摘一棵最大最好的麥穗，但只可以摘一次。
柏拉圖覺得很容易，充滿信心地出去，
誰知過了半天他仍沒有回去。
最後，他垂頭喪氣出現在老師面前訴說空手而回的原因：
" 很難得看見一株看似不錯的，卻不知是不是最好，
不得已，因為只可以摘一次，只好放棄，再看看有沒有更好的，

到發現已經走到盡頭時，才發覺手上一棵麥穗也沒有。 "
這時，蘇格拉底告訴他： "那就是愛情"

The Seaview Restaurant

2010-01-01T15:30:00.003+08:00

Ahh... I have been very lazy to update my blog, mainly because I don't really know what to update, or just can't be bothered writing.

Oh the slackness of holidays. :P

Anyway, I went to this Seaview restaurant in Fremantle quite some time ago (almost a month ago already) 'cause my sister brought me along for her company's Christmas dinner. Had some good food there. :D

My lamb cutlet. It was very nice, and satisfied my craving for red meat that day. :P

My sister's medium-rare hapuka fish. It was the special of that day. Pretty interesting, since the only fish that I've really seen done medium-rare is salmon.

Cheryllynn's salmon. Slurrrps.

That's it for this time. Don't really have much to update except: I am going back to Malaysia real soon!!!!! XD

Okie dokie. Happy 2010 and all the best to everyone. :)

(The video's title is kinda misleading, it should be Boys Like Girls ft Taylor Swift >_>)

I remember what you wore on our first day
You came into my life and I thought hey,
You know this could be something
Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I'm left with nothing

So maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one

I remember every look upon you face
The way you roll your eyes, the way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everything's okay
I'm finally now believing

So maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one

I remember what you wore on our first day
You came into my life and I thought hey..

Maybe it's true that I can't live without you
And maybe two is better one
There so much time to figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone

And I'm thinking ooooh
I can't live without you
Cause baby two is better than one
There's so much time to figure the rest of my life
But I figured out with all that's said and done
Two is better than one

Two is better than one..

End of 2nd Year!

時々、善玉になることは悪いです。。
仲間の言うとおり、時々冷血であることは好いんだろう。。。

まあ、とにかく、僕はこの心の事をまだに信じしている。
だから諦めるのことは絶対にしない。

This is what happens when I intend to study at home..

XD

The minutes and seconds spent typing here could have been used to finish a slide or 2 on the lecture notes. Oh well.. :/

To be honest, the hot weather is making me miss library's air-con. Guess I should've gone to the library today after all. Sighhhhh....

Third Visit to Utopia Vic Park

2009-10-30T00:33:00.004+08:00

I can't believe I've actually visited Utopia Vic Park for the third time already, and it has only been open for a little under 2 weeks. :S

No, I'm not that huge a fan of bubble tea. I like to drink, but I'm certainly not addicted to it. Therefore I really feel surprised about this. Hehe..

My third visit was about 9:40pm yesterday, and my gawd,

I hadn't seen a small tea shop/bakery in Vic Park soooooooo packed before on a Thursday night. This picture doesn't quite show the actual crowd that was there when I just entered the shop. YES, THERE WERE MORE PEOPLE. I couldn't even squeeze my way to the counter after filling up my order card.

At the time the above picture was taken, here were more people sitting/standing around the couch at the corner of the shop (not in the picture. It should be a little more to the right of this picture and that was the entire space of the shop already) or sitting outside sipping bubble tea, and even more people waiting outside cuz it was just too packed inside. Seriously.

Even the Imp cafe just 2 shops away wasn't this crowded when it just opened couple of months ago. Kudos, Utopia.

This doesn't need a title

2009-10-25T22:36:00.003+08:00

I have given you mine..

Will you give me yours as well?

I think the blog title says it all :D

Need I say more? :DDDDD

Heart-not Matlab

2009-10-14T23:02:00.005+08:00

Take me down to the Paradise City, where the grass is green and there's no programming~

~~~~~

I seriously don't like to use Matlab (a software that kind of combines programming and mathematical computations). I'm just not into dealing with programming and writing algorithms to compute mathematical questions. Booooo :(

This freaking assignment, AND the Heat Transfer assignment are both killing me (and my mates as well lolz..). Me is not happy with that :(

Any Matlab pros come help us please?? I have cookies ._.

Moreover, our - or at least my - "beloved" teaching team for this particular subject is totally not helpful at all in teaching us how to use Matlab. How in the world are we supposed to learn this without YOU FRIGGIN' LECTURERS/TUTORS actually explaining to us how it works instead of shoving our face RIGHT INTO HELP FILES that are written in 4L13N?? Most brilliant of all, when we ask the tutor during the computer lab for guidance, he either asks us back the exact same question we asked him, or FUCKING GRINS AND THEN DO NOTHING??

Seriously.. FML, and Fuck This Subject.

Dear Mr. Lecturer

I am sorry but you are just not suitable to educate chemical engineering undergraduates. Could you kindly quit the teaching job and just go focus on your researches, or just go bury yourself alive for getting paid by the University to just fail to educate your students.

Dear Mr. Tutor

Go fuck yourself.

Yours Sincerely
Me

Dark days..

2009-10-05T19:39:00.001+08:00

First, I got into a car accident..

Then, I fucked up my chemistry lab.

Anymore bad news coming up? :/

Hello Blog

2009-09-07T20:54:00.002+08:00

Ahh.. Long time no see, Paradise City XD

Been quite a while since I blogged something, cuz really, nothing much has happened recently.

Went to City to Surf a week ago. It was awesome, except I didn't perform as good as I'd expected :( 80 minutes for 12km. Train train train train for 2010's! Aiming for 70 minutes or less XD

Laughing Gor was pretty a nice movie, despite the fact that suddenly there are so many undercovers in the gangs -.- (ooops, spoiled it for those who haven't watched XD) Nevertheless, the story is pretty nicely executed I'd say, so it was worthwhile.

Now that City to Surf is over, I shall go back to my weights routine.

Today (max I could go so far):
Squats - 75kg
Leg extension - 55kg
Straight-legged deadlift - 60kg
Leg curls - 50kg

Looks like improvement. Yum..

願い

2009-08-16T02:11:00.002+08:00

I wish I know what to do

I wish I was invisible

I wish I know how to do

I wish you were here

I wish a Nissan GT-R would drop from the sky

I wish I hadn't had to wish all these.. = ="

1st Week

2009-07-31T18:04:00.002+08:00

One week of uni is finally over.

I actually haven't slept in for 8am classes. Amazing.. Will this persist? Hah! I certainly hope so.

Damn uni tav, the last time I remember, they accepted student ID's DOB for proof of age. Now they don't anymore. Sheez.. Got kicked out yesterday cuz we didn't have our passports with us. I swear I'm gonna get my WA driver's licence this sem!

Hmm... This week has been fairly good, minus the minor sore throat and runny nose which were hella annoying. What can I say, it's still the first week after all!

Ok, I seriously need to restring my wife. I didn't bring her here to leave her naked there alone in the corner x_x

Now if you would excuse me while I run my fingers along her slender neck =D

Gay air

2009-07-14T23:29:00.002+08:00

I'm somewhat glad that I didn't came back during the June-July period last year.

Gosh the haze is killing me!!!

I miss Perth's weather now. T_T

Hmm.. 6 days left in Malaysia.. Then I'll be back in Perth, in a much messier room. Not to say it's that bad there. I do enjoy my life there ^^

So w/e! Just ranting about the freakin' haze -.-

When there's no orgy sessions..

Quote of the century:

"You double click the nick and try to type something that will kickstart a conversation, but after 10 minutes of typing a few words like "I", "Hi", "Boo" and backspacing them before you know what's going on, you give up. You close the chat window and the same process happens again 3~4 times within the next hour. Disappointment. Period." -- quoted from Sheikh

zzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZz

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

2 weeks left till I go back to Perth. Damn time sure flies pretty fast. I've been spending quite a lot of time with my family, at least more than the last time I came back. Been following my dad around quite often. Half the time I'm his driver XD

On that note, I shall say that... I'm starting to lose the survivability on Malaysian road ahahahaha!! Squeezing out of junctions and cutting queues at highway exits are just not the stuff that I would do anymore. I'd rather quietly stay behind the stop line (or inch out bit by bit to get a clear view of both sides of the junction thanks to stupid corners with lotsa stupid things that blocks the view of incoming traffic) rather than sticking the head of the car out until I block half the junction like most drivers here do. I guess I'll never get out of a busy junction that way XD However! I still speed on ~~freeways~~ highways! XD

Okie dokie. I'm off!

Michael's death

2009-06-28T12:33:00.004+08:00

Really didn't see it coming.. His death kind of surprised me, really.

What shall I say.. I used to idolize him a lot. His songs were the first English songs that I listened to. I even imitated his dance moves (or at least tried to XD) when I was a little kid.. Like over 10 years ago? X)

His vocal, and his songs were undeniably good. Damn I want half his vocal capability ._.

One of my fav, meaningful song ^^

RIP Michael..

Now... Where's my Knocking on Heaven's Door

The night feels very long when..

2009-06-22T01:33:00.001+08:00

I was blindfolded, but now I'm seeing
My mind was closing, now I'm believing
I finally know what just what it means to let someone in
To see the side of me that no one does or ever will
So if your ever lost and find yourself all alone
I'd search forever just to bring you home,
Here and now this I vow

YAYYYY

2009-06-16T18:54:00.000+08:00

EXAMS' OVER!!!!

"Users of the popular social networking website, Facebook, can now join the IChemE friends group.

The group allows IChemE members from all over the world to share ideas and information, as well as find out more about IChemE activities. The group is also open to non-members, with other scientists and engineers, and those curious about the world of chemical engineering particularly welcome.

“The web is going to become the networking and information-exchange service of choice in the coming years, and it’s important that IChemE gets involved,” said Caroline Smith, IChemE Publishing and Resources Director." - taken from IChemE website

So.. I can't escape the wrath of Facebook huh? .__.

THE week

2009-05-25T23:52:00.002+08:00

Just started my week of hell. Can I survive this week-long ordeal? I don't know... I suppose I have to? :/

It may last longer than a week, depends on when my groups can finish the 2 different projects..

On a lighter note, I'm going back to Malaysia in less than 4 weeks!! :D
Really can't wait. Gonna change my laptop (gonna miss you.... not) cuz my dad wants my laptop. So that means, time to hunt laptops! I kind of want a different brand of laptop, like Asus as they're famous for providing overclocking tools, but Dell's really the only one that offers online customization and I really prefer my laptop to be customized to my needs. It also offers one of the best support around.. (providing it's still under warranty) So maybe it's Dell again I guess. *shrugs*

Before I get too happy and excited about getting a new laptop over this 2 and a half years old machine though, I gotta back-up some stuff and then reformat it. I guess I feel more comfortable giving my dad a clean laptop without all my junks in there and all the old traces of registries and long-lost files clogging up the computer. Hopefully I have enough time to do it after my exams before I go back.

Alrighty, that's about it I guess. Time to get back to my work *sobs*

12/20 for chemistry prac test.. Blah.. Whatever. It's credit, and I'm content with it.

So be it. I'm done with chemistry labs for now. Let bygones be bygones. Pfft..

Anyway... Stop.. Pestering.. Me to join Facebook lar...... T_T

Even if it's just grabbing photo, why do I have to do it on Facebook? :/

Seriously, it's like everyone around me, young, same age or old, keep saying why am I the oddball of my generation. :( Even Roy succumbed..

Evul stuff.. :(

Eff-ing Chemistry Labs

2009-05-18T03:25:00.003+08:00

Chemistry practical test in less than 12 hours..

Shit... I really hate this particular test.. Semi-micro analysis is really shit.

Dealing with freakin' delicate stuff with time-constraint pressure really suck balls. :/

The first part of it is flame test. My experience with flame test in that particular lab is... No matter how I washed the wire, it would almost always give me that bright orange colour - sodium's colour. FFS, how to identify like that??

The amount of substances that we use is another issue. Small, delicate amounts. A single step wrong and we're screwed.

Damn... We're not even doing analytical chemistry in later years, why don't the school just reshuffle the syllabus a bit like what the pharmacy school does so that we don't have to learn every single thing that pure science students learn? Pffft

Meh..

2009-05-16T19:19:00.004+08:00

Damn.. No luck this time in lotto XD

Anyway~~ I'm just feeling like posting the song where the name of this blog comes from.

2009-05-03T23:06:00.003+08:00

I seriously don't know how to study for Process Engineering Materials -_____-

Notes are shit. What's with powerpoint slides converted into pdf files with explanatory diagrams stacking on each other and also covering the descriptions up? Pfft

Tuts only cover like 1/5 of what each lecture has to say, which spells "sucky".

Textbook is so f***ing huge, I'd hail myself already if I manage to read half of the chapters that are included in the exam.

This unit is officially screwed (not that I didn't know since week 1 :/)

Chi Phan? CHI SHI (吃屎) LA MCH

HAAA CHOOOOOO

First we have...

Bird flu

Then now..

Swine flu

And probably cow flu, cat flu, dog flu, donkey flu popping out in the next 10 years?

We're probably gonna have to do one of the following in the future:

1. Mass-quarantine of all animals. No more contact between human and any animal at all.

2. The Great Animal Slaughter

Are we screwed yet?

2009-04-26T12:44:00.002+08:00

2 down, 2 to go. Those are my mid-sems of course.
And 3 projects.. ugh.. Time to poke my team members to meet soon >.<

Seriously, slacking isn't doing any good to me. Wanted to go and take driving theory test, but I haven't prepared myself well enough yet (free time = spent elsewhere)

On a side note, thank god that WoL's age is coming to an end in 4 days. I can't take playing both sides anymore :P Don't have the stamina like Vincent (kekeke)

Exam draft timetable's finally out! Ahh.. Time to book air-ticket to go home in June :D
Return ticket of $300 with Air-Asia looks reasonable. Hmmm..

That's it for now. Signing out.

Slacking, babeh

2009-04-13T13:55:00.002+08:00

Hmm... Half the holiday's gone. And I've done absolutely nothing besides playing, sleeping, eating, and more playing x_x

Ok, maybe there was something.. Like getting slaughtered by Process Principles' 2nd online quiz.

Sigh.. 2 mid-sems next week. I should start studying.......

......

Well, I *should*..

So this afternoon I went to turn on the TV to play my 360.

The channel that it was on was ABC before I switched the TV input to 360..

Guess what was the first line that I heard right after the channel loaded?

"It's better to have a vibrator than a defibrillator!"

But yea, it's true.

The program was The View.

Or what i call Lameness In the Toilet

Yes I know it's me being lame too.. but meh..

Archimedes yelled "Eureka!" when he discovered what is now known as Archimede's Principle, and went running out of his bathroom into the streets naked.

And we have people probably went "AHHHHhhhhh..." after a big lump of poop was unloaded and then with that release of tension in the bowel, enlightenment came and they discovered definitions to some words/abbreviations or something about themselves (talk about self discovery)..

For instance:

AIDS: Arsehole Injected Death Sentence

GAY: Got AIDS Yet?

I seriously never knew the past tense of 'shit' is 'shat'. Thanks for letting me know.

Ok this one is probably too blur to be legible.
It says "I feel tough writing on toilet walls".

=/ I guess now I'm as lame as them for doing this but whatever.. I'm just bored.

Art Festival

2009-03-14T03:02:00.003+09:00

It's been like half a month since I've updated my blog. Ahahaha

Was kind of lazy and got occupied by other stuff, like getting busy with my (well, half mine) new XBox 360 with Guitar Hero World Tour. XD

Well my sister wanted to get the Guitar Hero ever since we tried it out at JB Hi-Fi. And I don't mind playing it either cuz it's got some cool old school rock songs so, why not :D

A while back, there was this art festival in Perth, and some funny mannequins popped out around the street mall as part of the festival thingie.

Here's a couple of them that I snapped pictures of..

In this set-up, Target was on fire and fire fighters were evacuating people. The glass window at the bottom of the picture was actually redecorated such that it showed some chaotic scenes of the "fire". (Target itself was still operating normally)

They even put smoke generator to simulate smoke from the fire.

There were also a few other, like one that I noticed first before I realised about the art festival, which was a very old car with some mannequin passengers in it.

Odd. Funny. Interesting.

:P

Stat-tit-tics

Statistics....

Stat-tit-tics.

Experimental....

Yikksperimental.

Worst of all, most of us can only make out a couple of words out of his whole sentence!! Unless he's pointing and reading from the lecture slides (then at least I can just read the line since he's reading straight from there anyway).

There goes our Process Analysis...

It's actually kind of annoying when you have to serve food and watch people eat away happily while you're hustling around the restaurant with tired legs, lower back, and an empty stomach, filled with only water and Gatorade or Powerade for hydration and energy?

Back from Malaysia

2009-02-08T17:49:00.003+09:00

3 weeks in Malaysia.

3 fun weeks. Not enough. :/
The heck did I pick those dates, and ended up with only 3 weeks in Malaysia. boohooooo..

Didn't really do much the day I arrived. Ate and ate with family. Then at night, I went to mamak with high school mates. Had a nice session of catching up with them. Most of them didn't change much in looks. lol.

The next day, I flew to Penang for a 3-day trip with uni coursemates. What can I say about Penang, I haven't been there for ages. The last time I went there was when I was a little kid. And so of course, we ate and ate and ate in the food heaven. We weren't that interested in historical and heritage stuff there :P
The 2nd day of the trip was kind of fun. Woke up rather early in the morning and went to explore the area around my hotel by myself while the others are still sleeping. I didn't even know where I ventured to. It was an hour of walk, sightseeing and just walking. When I told them about it, they were like "omg you walked so far?!?!" ahahaha.. Oh well, I managed to navigate my way back to the hotel in time, so whatever ^^ Water activities were fun in that afternoon. Jetskiing, parasailing, and banana boat riding were one helluva awesome experience. Got muscle aching all over but damn it was worth it. :D

After the trip, it was all meeting friends, and CNY. Nothing really special until the fourth day of CNY.. 3 guys: me, Zi Wei and Vincent. Location: my house. Activity: Texas Hold'em, drinking vodka. Damn that sounded real ghey. XD then went to play pool after 2 drinks. Surprised that we could still hit the balls. ahahaha

The 5th and 6th days of CNY were mostly spent visiting friends' places doing 团拜 or some call it 班拜 because it involves only Harmonians. It was pretty fun. Going from house to house, chatting and gambling again and again.

Monday was another fun day gathering with collegemates. Only about 9 of us met up cuz I was organising it and I only had that many contacts (actually I had less, had to ask Alice and Kim to help me ask). Had lunch at Carl's Jr. It was my first time at it, and to be honest, being fast food, they were pretty good. Nice burger, nice chips, just a bit pricey for fast food :P also celebrated eujin's birthday in advance. And then some cam-whoring sessions. I haven't got the photos but eujin posted some here.

Met up with Gene too on that day, like, FINALLY. Been wanting to meet up with him since I came back. Damn busy man :/ then karaoke with Zi and mates in the evening. The karaoke in M'sia is 2047 times nicer than Perth's karaoke T___T

The last few days in Malaysia were mostly spent with family, buying stuff that me and my sis will need in Perth, and another new shirt. Meh..

And now I'm back in Perth .__.

Been back to Malaysia for almost a week already.

But I haven't got much time to online and update the blog. Didn't bring my laptop home. Can't be bothered anyway. Good food + tv + friends + family = enough for my 3 weeks stay in Malaysia.

:P

Will do a good update or 2 when I'm back to Perth. Tata!

Power ballad week?

2009-01-15T18:21:00.003+09:00

What's a Power Ballad?
1. It's a rock song
2. It's a *slow* rock song
3. It's usually sentimental/emo
4. It's awesome to build up your emo-ness then release it all out at the final chorus

example:

Nickelback - Far Away:

or..

Bon Jovi - Always:
http://sheikh-says-yeah.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!83FB256F45E9C764!1584.entry

That kind of made me dig up my collection of power ballads (which I actually still listen to them quite frequently. They're nice, who cares if I'm emo or not when I'm listening?).

So here's mine.. may I present to you...

Bon Jovi's..
Bed of Roses

Sitting here wasted and wounded on this old piano
Trying hard to capture the moment,
This morning I don't know
'Cuz a bottle of Vodka's still lodged in my hand
Some blonde gave me nightmares
I think that she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies they won't make up me when I'm dead

With an ironclad fist, I wake up and French-kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head while we're talking
About all the things that I long to believe
About love, the truth, and what you mean to me
And the truth is
Baby you're all that I need

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on bed of nails
I want to be just as close as
The Holy Ghost is
And lay you down...
On a bed of roses

Well I'm so far away, each step I take's on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes
and whisper,
Baby, blind love is true..

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as
The Holy Ghost is
And lay you down
On a bed of roses

While this hotel bar hangover whiskeys gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's given me the eye
I might have said 'yeah'
But I laughed so hard I think I've died
Ooh-yeah..

Now as you close your eye, know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again
Tonight I won't be alone
But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
I've got nothing to prove
For it's you that I'd die to defend

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
for tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as
The Holy Ghost is
And lay you down....
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as
The Holy Ghost is
And lay you down......
On a bed of roses

A cooler summer day

2009-01-13T17:25:00.003+09:00

Finally a day that's cooler than usual. Clouds + a 15 minutes drizzle sure cooled down the weather by a hell lot. 27 degrees yo!! For once in the summer, I didn't have to sweat like hell in my house, or when I'm walking down the streets.

For once, I didn't feel like wearing only boxers in the house during the afternoon -.-

But I don't have a pair of boxers. Ahahahahahaha. Screw that.

That was yesterday. Today it's 30. But it isn't that bad. Still pretty nice. The house doesn't feel like steamhouse.

Lately, I don't have that urge to touch any online games at all, except for Utopia, cuz it's sort of a commitment that I can't just shake off whenever I like. But I'm sure as hell that I'm leaving by the end of this week. <3

I kind of lost that emo feeling lately. Wonder why. Thinking back, I think I was quite emo a few weeks back. bleh.. Of course it wasn't pleasant at all, but I couldn't help myself? .__.
Well it's a good thing I've shaken it off now. Right now, I'm feeling.. hmm.. Excited! And nervous? XD
Excited? Cuz I'll be back in Malaysia and seeing all my gays and biatches again; Cuz I'm sooooo gonna eat kao Malaysian food when I'm back there.
Nervous? Teehee~~~~ ^^"

Chronological events since New Year's Day

2009-01-08T18:34:00.003+09:00

Jan 1st
New Year's Day!! 39 degrees!! Luckily we escaped to karaoke to blow 3 hours of air-con during the hottest time of the day. phewh

Jan 2nd
Dinner at Hong Kong BBQ for sister's Birthday. weee

Jan 3rd
Sister's Birthday. Bought lotto in the afternoon.. Then at 6:30pm, the news channel announced the lotto winning numbers. One of my games hit the 4th Division win! And so me and my sister were so excited, tried to find out payouts online later, then ALL OF THE F***ING SUDDEN, my laptop adapter decided to stop working!! There goes my 2nd last week till I go back to Malaysia, I thought. Ordered a new adapter from eBay. so all my winnings from Lotto went straight into buying the new adapter. *Sigh*

Jan 4th
Novel reading spree commenced. And I decided to pick up 24 and started watching it.

Jan 5th
Nothing much.

Jan 6th
The seller messaged me on eBay that the product had been posted on Express Post. Woo!
Went to pick up my poor guitar. I guess it was fixed pretty nicely for 80 bucks.. But the problems were not addressed 100% perfectly, so oh well. I guess by the end of this year I'll buy another guitar that is not a cheapo. Lesson learned: fingerboard moisture must be maintained well to prevent neck and fret problems.

Jan 7th
Nah..

Jan 8th
Claimed my Lotto winnings! Also my adapter arrived today.. Finally I can use my laptop again.

11 more days till I fly back to Malaysia~~~ Really can't wait :S

Last hour of 2008

2008-12-31T23:10:00.005+09:00

The time is 2300, 31st of December, year 2008.

Another year, about to end. Another year, about to be put entirely into the book of history.

Another year, about to start. Another year, with more to come.

2008 is the year I started uni. Started uni with only one friend in the same course, Bernice. But she wasn't in the same group as me, we didn't really meet up as often as we hoped for. ahahaha. Other people I had known before uni started were only like.. Ming Hui, Melissa K, and Amelia, an ex-classmate who I haven't really spoken to since Junior High? *scratches my head*

Hmm anyway, let's see what were the good (or not so good) stuff this year..

1. Went picnicking at the beach during summer, and found out that my swimming stamina stinked so badly i couldn't last swimming 10 minutes against the small waves. :/

2. Went clubbing for the first time XD at Ruby Room, Burswood. And I'll never forget how Conrad's car broke down 2 minutes from Burswood, right in the middle of Great Eastern Hwy -.-

3. Went inside the Burswood Casino and lost 50 bucks there =x Lesson learned: stop when you have won a fair bit and start losing.

4. Had more fine dining restaurants than I can ever imagine. Even more than the fine dining restaurants that my dad brought me to in a few years in Malaysia. Love ya sis!! Thanks so much! Restaurants that I've been to: K's, Tsunami, Friends, 150 East Riverside, Olive Tree..

5. Joined a gym, and wasted half the year's membership there before I got more serious about working out :S

6. Drank quite a lot of alcohol that my mum would murder me if she finds out XD (oh well *shrugs*)

7. Been through a big rollercoaster ride in this place called the Heart.. Bigger than what I've ridden in the past years...

8. Studied with friends in uni from day till midnight.. just to do the paper ever so shittily afterwards..

9. Starting to accept beer, as I previously disliked drinking beer.

10. Played more boardgames than ever.

Not too bad for a year I guess.. Oh lookie, it's past 12am already at Perth. Damn, I expected to finish this before 12am, but went out to the riverside to watch new year countdown fireworks.

So.. What about New Year's Resolution? I would say..
(I) I shall not waste my gym membership
(II) I shall get buffed, get fit and strengthen my body
(III) Get a part-time or casual job. Hopefully an engineering-related one during vacation to start filling up my engineering exposure hours

Happy New Year people!!!! And hello 2009!!

my 2008 ended with.. missing you..

Boxing Day Mega Sales

2008-12-27T01:37:00.009+09:00

Yep, Boxing Day. Or some might call it Second Day of Christmas.

And it was a day of.......

Yeah, Boxing Day sales, in Perth city. Not every shop was open, but most were, and had that kind of poster at their shopfront.

Heck, I had never seen Perth city this crowded before. All free parkings and heaps of paid parking places were filled up. And the only phrase to describe the Street Mall was exactly "people mountain people sea" (人山人海 in Chinese). Entrances were as crowded as you can imagine. A horde (yes, horde) of people entering and exiting the shops and department stores. And really, it was the first time I saw David Jones that full of people, and Myer's escalator needed security guards to force groups of people to queue up just to ride the escalator on every single floor.

Other scenes include:

Queuing just to get into shops (didn't get a position to take the whole line cuz I got so pissed by people constantly walking pass in front of me). This new Guess store had quite a long queue for a long time :|

Branded bag shop Oroton's queue.. The sales assistant in there even had to shut the door to keep the crowd from storming into the shop.

JB Hi-Fi, the crowd was probably worse before I went in because we stayed out of it until the queue outside JB Hi-Fi dispersed.
Speaking of which, a new JB Hi-Fi had just opened on this day at Picadilly's Arcade, which is only a short walk away. I wonder why.

There was no queue outside City Beach, but the inside did. There were about 4 counters serving 4 lines of customers at the ground floor guy section, and the girl section upstairs had another 2 or 3 counters. 7 queue-lines in this not-too-big surf shop, what the heck.
The sad thing was I couldn't find beach shorts of my size T_T but I finally got my sunnies here, so fair enough I guess. ~_~

But the worst encounter of the day was, a 50-minute queue at Myer basement, for my sister's work suit jacket and work pants (the City Beach queue was about 10~15 minutes, not too bad).

Even this hotdog stall at the Street Mall had a friggin' long queue WTF?! x_x

What about the economy crisis? *scratches head*

My nickname is.....

2008-12-25T15:23:00.005+09:00

Oble

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oble [ˈɔblɛ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Jadów, within Wołomin County, Masovian Voivodeship, in east-central Poland.It lies approximately 28 kilometres (17 mi) north-east of Wołomin and 50 km (31 mi) north-east of Warsaw.

This is Poland..

The red patch is the Masovia Province, the largest and most populous provinces in Poland.

So.. My nickname is actually a place in Poland! :D
What's more, it is actually pronounced the same way as you guys pronounce it: O-bleh.

The Beginning

So, why in the world have I created this blog?
You gotta give credits to Mr Sheikh and Mr Vincent.
Because this is the consequence of the upcoming post. T_T
