Weekends sure pass by fast.. but don't worry.. I got another one coming up.. hehe

Well, seems like.. life at uni is life on the fast track.. in the space of two weeks I completed for mid-sems worth a total of 100%. I wouldn't say I did brilliantly this time around.. but I'm much more prepared for it compared to previous two years.. I guess the fact that I moved out of IH has given me more time compared to the previous semesters. But oh well, IH was a good experience. I went back to IH for basketball yesterday and I really enjoyed it.. miss those moments.. haha, I'll be looking forward to more basketball games and soccer games back at IH some time soon. Oh yeah, cafe preview is next week.. maybe it's catch up time with all those people back at IH!

Anyways, I've got another auditing assignment due by Friday this coming week. Well, hopefully I can get it done much earlier. And for those of you who are wondering where my last post went, really sorry, it was just a moment of irrationality, I felt like I was whining like a kid in that post and I really couldn't stand myself, so I've decided to delete it. I guess life is always subject to other people's criticism and constant judgement. Well, all those criticisms and judgements should only make you stronger instead of backing down. I guess I just have to accept those criticsms and move on with life.

Next week is week 9 already! I really can't believe it.. can someone tell me.. why time is passing by so fast.....? I felt like I just boarded the plane from KL and landed Melbourne yesterday. Gosh.. please slow down time.... I need more time!

Lift...

Sometimes it hurts when you strive to pursuit your dreams and ambitions..
Sometimes it hurts when you expect more of your life..
And all you ever get was disappointments after disappointments
Sometimes it's hard to be perfect when you know you'll never be...
Sometimes it's hard to get up when you fall...
It's even harder when you have to get up by yourself..
Sometimes you wanna change who you are...
but you know you can't be any better..
Sometimes it's not easy to stay focus on what you have to do..
you tend to sidetrack along the way..
Sometimes it's painful when you push yourself too far...
Sometimes it's pointless to regret your wrongdoings in your past..
It can only be a guide for you to be better in the future..
Sometimes.. you know you have a limited amount of time left..
to prove yourself to the world who you are and what you're capable of..
Sometimes..
I know I gotta be stronger than this.. and just close the book and start again..
you gotta lift..

Pokerstars.net F*cking hates me...

It's half past 3 in the morning, I really wanna sleep but I really can't... some how my sleeping times are screwed again over the easter holidays... and there's just so much stuff going through my mind and not to mention the information overload I got from studying for four subjects.. Well...today marks the end of my easter holidays.. not to say I really had one.. all I f*cking did was stayed in my f*cking room for the whole f*cking easter and f*cking studied and procrastinate (note i put the asterix.. in case blogspot decides to ban me too...) Gosh.. it feels like the only breather time I got was when I go out for dinners.. boy was I looking forward to dinner time..

Anyways.. I was playing online poker at pokernet.stars the other day and I got f*cking agitated by another player and started swearing and saying stuffs bout him...... and since then.. I freaking lost everytime I played.. I wonder if pokernet.stars blacklisted me or something.. I never knew that you get banned from the chatting function when you swear or intend to swear.. They were damn efficient.. they sent me an e-mail 5 minutes after I sweared.. damn...

Here's the e-mail from them:

The different side turned one yesterday...


Without me realizing it, The Different Side turned one yesterday. I realized it after midnight.. and I was too lazy to blog at that time. So, this is a post to celebrate a year's worth of blogging. Well, to tell the truth, I was quite reluctant to start a blog as I thought that I would be too lazy to maintain it and too lazy to post interesting stuffs. However, I decided to give it a try as my own personal diary and to write everything I want there. It turns out that, when you blog.. you expect anyone to read it.. therefore, there are certain issues that you have to be careful about before you actually post it online. My blog started out as a place for me to vent my anger and post all those emo stuffs. Well, if you realized it, The Different Side has taken for a change... it's no longer a place where I abuse with negative thoughts, instead it's a place I try to share my thoughts, my experiences (not to say I have a lot) and what I think it's worth blogging with everyone... in other words.. it's a place to procrastinate when you don't have anything to do..


Anyways, The Different Side have grown.. so have I. I've learnt a lot in this past one year.. I've learnt more and more things as I'm about to embark on a different journey.. last year was a transition period.. this year.. I'm wiser... I can't say I'm better.. because I really don't know.. but as far as I'm concerned, I'll try to improve as time goes by. I hope I'll continue to share everything I've experienced for as long as I could in this blog and make sure no one will ever see the same old Jakarta post forever and ever...... and I'll try to put more and more interesting stuffs on this blog. I never knew blogging would be fun.. but yeah.. it's a good experience and I urge you guys who have not tried it to give it a shot.. if you don't like your blog to be read by everyone, try to make it a private blog and only let the people you want read it. It's a good way to pour out everything that's inside but at the same time too much of it makes your reader sick.. A blog is also a place that makes you feel nostalgic once in a while and a place where you could put into words your happy and sad times..


Last but not least, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY The Different Side!

Stupidity...

Well... I did the dumbest think ok..maybe not the dumbest thing.. but one of the dumbest thing I've ever done in my entire life. I got into the lift after coming back from grocery shopping... and I pressed on the 20th floor button. I got out of the lift and saw that joker who inspected our apartment and pointed at the end of the corridor and asked him.. whether he was there to inspect our apartment.... well.. he said no.. fair enough.. maybe he'll get someone else to inspect it. I walked to the end of the corridor.. inserted my key and realize.. hey.. what the fuck is going on.. did they just change the fucking lock because they hate us so much..? I was like.. wat the fuck.. how can they do this.. or I thought maybe my key was faulty.. I was like... damn.. So, I started pushing the door really hard..... and shook it.... suddenly the door opened.. I was like.. thank god Damien is in... but too my surprise.. it was another joker..... that I didn't know of.. I looked at the door and realize that.. it was 1901 instead of 2001.. I was like.. fuck.. I'm at the wrong floor.. man.. I felt so embarassed.. if that guy didn't open the door in 5 minutes time.. I would have broke into his apartment.....

Anyways, maybe I'm sick that's why my concentration is so poor.. gosh.. it sucks to fall sick especially around this corner when I have like 4 mid-sems with a total of 100 marks coming up next week.. I need more rest.. I feel weak some how.. don't know why..... maybe it's psychological.. when u are sick, u just wanna lie down.. even coffee doesn't give me motivation when I'm sick.. damn... let's just hope everything will be alright....

On a happier note, Phillip Island was fun and there's this place called a'maze' and things.. something like that ler.. that was quite fun and unique.. the vertical slide was fun.. balless Damien wouldn't get onto the slide.. man.. he's just a pussy...

A girlish post..

Bad picture of Miss kong and I
I was forced by KONG SU SAN to do this post.. so forgive me if it's slightly girlish...


Well.. easter holidays started.. finally the plan is to go phillip island on monday for a one day trip.. I don't know why.. this time around.. I really don't feel like going anywhere.. Maybe I feel pressured from the upcoming mid-sems in two weeks time. Ok.. to the girlish part.. I was darn bored yesterday.. as 24 went out with Randy and Drew for pool and Damien fell asleep while 24 and I was playing Fifa. I basically was jobless and played poker online for a few hours. Then I remembered that, I still have a 'reliable' friend and that's Miss Kong Su San so I decided to call her out for Italian Hot Chocolate at Brunetti's.


In the end, due to her greediness for waiting her friend to finish baking the apple crumble, we couldn't have hot chocolate cos' Brunetti's was close. So, we headed to Notturno's instead.. the name of this cafe' is a bit weird...... if u break it up......... it is Not- turn- no's.. Maybe the owner was trying to be funny by saying no-turn-ons.. but he decided that it was too obscene and change it to Notturno's instead. Haha, only the owner will know!


I slept at 7 in the end and got up at nearly 4 p.m. Watched 300 at Imax.. it wasn't too bad.. the storyline was alright and the actions were good. The screen at the Imax was huge.. but the seatings were crap and the audio wasn't too good..

Trips...Easier Said Than Done




Well.. who wants to go on a fully hassle free, no worry, no responsibility and fun-filled trip...? I bet everyone of you would want a trip just like that.. but that's not the true fact.. The fact is that a trip requires planning.. a trip requires deciding.. a trip requires accomodating each and everyone's need... a trip requires everyone to be compromising and willing to follow the organiser's itinerary.. and nothing else.. we need someone to be calling all the shots.. no other opinion should be allowed.. as too many chefs spoil the soup..




I think it's never easy being the organiser of a trip... it requires so much headache and so much everything.. everything is just a hassle.. and the problem when you plan to travel in a group is.. everyone is just waiting for the other person to organise the trip.. not many are willing to take the responsibility of planning a trip.. I totally understand why.. I planned the trip to go to Pahang during the summer break with my bunch of friends back home.. and my god.. it wasn't easy.. transportation was a headache.. no one could drive us to Kuala Rompin from Kuantan.. so I had to ask my cousin drive us all the way there and the whole journey would require 3 hours.. well.. when transportation is done and everything is done.. you set on your little journey.. u reach the accomodation and all.. you realize.. fuck.. this place is not as fun as I've thought eventhough no one had to pay a single cent.. and you start worrying whether everyone is happy or not.. well.. besides that u need to make sure everything is in place.. everyone is comfortable etc.. u're like the social welfare officer for the trip.. FOOD.. is another problem.. the fact is that.. everyone have different tastes and everyone gets hungry at different times.. so what is the best place to eat.. and what is the right time to eat..? The fact is that.. you can never keep everyone happy...




Well, if I had a choice.. I'd rather set myself on an adventurous trip like what Mr Bean did.. and meet fun people along athe way and had all sorts of different challenges.. haha.. he sure had an adventurous trip.. but oh well.. how often does that happen in one's life..? Btw, it's that movie was a little of a let down..


Anyways.. I hope everyone gets to enjoy easter to the fullest no matter what they are doing and the conclusion is.. never be an organiser!

yet another weekend...

Well, another weekend has come by and almost gone.. sometimes, it's the weekend that makes u think of home the most especially on Sundays when its sort of a family day for me. Yesterday, one of my nephews had his wedding and it's obvious that I couldn't attend his wedding. What a pity! A buffet dinner was on instead of the usual Chinese-style banquet dinner with that freaking annoying loud Karaoke with those ah peks and aunties singing their Hokkien and old Mandarin songs that tear your ears apart and makes you lose your appetite. Gosh, thank god he made the right choice eventhough he forced to make it. His mom is ill and he had to rush to get married before his mom (my cousin's wife) flies back to Taiwan to cure her illness. He decided to get married last weekend, had all the cakes and invitations distributed to all relatives and friends within two days and got married on the Friday a week later. Gosh.. that must be a certain rush with the Ching Ming around the corner.

Well, it's occassions like this I wished I was at home getting see one of your close relatives getting married. I'm very picky when it comes to attending wedding dinners.. I refuse to attend a wedding dinner unless the person who is getting married is quite close to me and most of the people who will be attending the wedding dinner are my relatives as well. I remember the time when my sister got married.. that was one of my happiest days in my life. The atmosphere was good, I helped to put up a slide show and everything was just great. It was just amazing to see all your relatives that you haven't seen in a long time around on that day.

Since I miss this wedding, I really do not know when's the next wedding of any of my close relatives I would be able to attend since most of them are married and the rest are younger than I am!

Alright, better get some work done before the weekend is over.. ADIOS......! And to Arsenal fans.. better luck next time.. maybe you should give your defenders more calcium drinks so they'll be as tall as Peter Crouch..!

KH's soccer corner..

This Week's Pick of the Week:

Israel v England
Preview: With England's most 'prolific' scoring machine Peter Crouch out, it's quite a daunting task for England to have a landslide win. However, with Owen Hargreaves back, it does give the midfield freedom to roam. A reminder that Israel have not lost a game at home for 7 years until their last lost to Croatia. With their home crowd cheering them on, does seem like a tough game for Steve Mclaren's pool of fallen 'superstars.' However, this is a must win game for England and I believe they might just pull it through. (Btw, it really surprises me when I visited the webpage of the Israel team at uefa.com, THEY WERE ONLY DISPLAYING ENGLAND NEWS AS THEIR HEADLINES, WTF?)
Prediction: Israel 1-2 England

Portugal v Belgium
Preview: A better bet will be putting your money for professional diver Cristiano Ronaldo to win one of the diving competitions at the FINA championships in Melbourne. Heck, he might even win against Michael Phelps in any swimming competition due to his distance in diving. Well, Portugal does seem likely to win this game against Belgium. However, with their most influential player, Deco out of the equation this match does not look that easy. On the other hand, Belgium has not been beaten by Portugal in an official match. Cristiano Ronaldo's diving skills will grab them a win at the end though.
Prediction: Portugal 1-0 Belgium

Spain v Denmark
Preview: This is definitely a surprise, Spain being the KING of qualifying is only with 3 points from 3 games. However, with several big names out for Denmark and the confidence high after beating England 1-0 at Old Trafford, does seem like a likely win for Spain at home.
Prediction: Spain 2-0 Denmark

Czech Republic v Germany
Preview: This is definitely a cracker and definitely a contender for game of the week. Czech republic the Euro 2004, semi-finalists is with a full-strength squad and with Klose suspended and Frings, Schweinsteiger and Metzelder doubtful, does seem like a tough game for the world cup 2006 semi-finalists. The factors point for a Czech win, but I still think Germany have enough fight in them for a draw. A reminder that, a win for either side will strongly put either team in pole position for Euro 2008.
Prediction: Czech 1-1 Germany

The cost of procrastinating...

Ok.. today marks the end of my first weekend of the week.. hehe.. if you all didn't know that being a commerce student you're allowed to have two weekends.. not one.. but TWO.. haha.. I've managed to arrange my timetable so that I could have Tuesdays and Wednesdays off.. which means I have two weekends! Anyways, here I am.. rushing to finish off my 1% tute work which talks about cost of capita... I'm just bull shitting my way through it.. I really don't know what the questions are asking me and I really don't know wtf I should write.. so.. yeah.. at least I didn't copy it..! And besides that, I still got a lot more of tute work to do... but I just can't be bothered.. gosh.. two weekends is not enuf..

Hehe.. to tell the truth actually.. I'm quite a changed man already..(Not!) Yeah.. see.. a semester ago.. I would have just waited for CC to finish the work and copy it off her that morning itself.. but look... I'm actually putting in my own effort to do it.. Besides that, I actually spent the past two days squeezing every ounce of my brain to solve the investments assignment.. hehe.. just ask CC.. Ok lerr... I think I'm praising myself too much.. Anyways, the most torturing two days of my week is coming up.. which is Thursday and Friday.. I have a total of 9 contact hours! Ok lerr.. enough lerr.. you engineering guys or science guys should be cursing me by now.. hahahahaha.. but too bad.. YOU GUYS ARE NOT DOING COMMERCE.. so live with it!

That's it.. another short post..!

Tuesday, March 20, 2007

Another one of my insomic (is that how you spell it?) nights..

3.30 a.m.. I'm bored and wide awake.. I tried to sleep but just couldn't sleep.. I had too much sleep this afternoon cause I was frustrated with my investments assignment.. gosh.. I realize when I'm stressed I tend to sleep.. I remember how I could afford like 15 minute naps while I was trying to study for Principles of Marketing last semester when I was actually way behind time and I desperately need to stay awake.. yet.. I fell to the temptation of sleeping.. haha.. I guess.. If I had a choice.. I wanna to be able to sleep the whole day.. gosh.. just hibernate like animals.. hahahaha... if only I was able to do that...

Well, the feeling of being awake at this hour makes me feel that everything else disappeared from this world and I'm the only person around... gosh.. ain't a nice feeling at all.. Arghh.... hate it hate it hate it..

Ok.. I really do not know what to write anymore.. haha.. I'm running out of ideas what I'm supposed to talk about.. I typed out a couple of sentences.. but just didn't know how to finish it off.. I guess.. I'll just leave it here and make it a really short post.. Good night, adios.. and hope everyone could sleep well.. unlike me...

.....?

18 March 2007, mark this day.. haha.. finally i wrote something again on the blog.. u guys won't have to see the word jakarta first when u ever visit my blog.. It's been quite some time.. 2 months.. since i wrote something.. It's not that I do not want to write something.. is just that I really got nothing to write.. haha.. nothing so interesting as for me to write on the blog and nothing so demotivating that I could write on the blog.. (in other words, just lazy ler.. hehe)

Well, tomorrow will be the fourth week of my semester.. what have I achieved so far..? Nothing.. I set myself into a mission this year.. to improve myself overall... guess I haven't really done anything to improve myself thus far... From the way I look at it, this would be the final year I would make a large impact on who I am and who I'll be for the next one or two decades to come.. Changes have to come now and fast.. I had a chat with su san yesterday.. and I really realize lack of self-esteem is really one of the biggest problems that I'm facing with.. I really do not know how I'm gonna go out of uni to face the real society if don't have enough self-esteem.. gosh.. I think I would have to change jobs every 3 months..

I realized patience is another thing that I need to have.. I realize my lack of patience has caused me drastically in many things.. not to mention.. poker.. I'm a really impatient poker player.. I do not like the slow pace of the game.. I prefer to speed things up... which means.. being one of the first to get kicked out of the game.. hahaha.. it sucks to sit out and wait you know... well.. guess... this is another area I wished I could change..

Well, that's about it.. I don't want to bore you guys with my self-motivation.. haha.. I realize long posts aren't really what readers want ( see.. improving on blogging skills.. damn.. I'm lame)

blogging from jakarta

Wow.. it was a two hour trip from the LCC-T in Kuala Lumpur to Jakarta with AirAsia. To be fair to them, AirAsia did quite a decent job in getting my mom and I on time to Jakarta without any delays. Everyone usually tells me that AirAsia is pretty lousy when it comes to following the scheduled time and the delay is usually pretty long. Anyways, the flight was alright and everything went well except for the fact that this dumb dude at the customs asked me for my flight ticket back.. dude... How can I show you my ticket.. when they only give it to u upon ur check in..? And besides.. no dumbass would wanna stay here in Indonesia for the rest of their lives..

Well, the ride from the airport to the hotel.. took up to two hours.. gosh.. the same amount of time I spent travelling from Malaysia to Indonesia. The traffic congestion in the city area is just crazy.. u barely move a metre within a minute. The people here just won't stop honking.. and the motorbikes here are crazy.. I pity those manual car drivers.. Anyways, Jakarta ain't no KL.. eventhough the shopping centers here are massive and quite up to standard. It has too many squatters around the city and people knocking on ur window.. asking you for money or to sell u something.. if you're here for the first time without any knowledge about this city.. u might actually freak out.. Well, to tell you the truth, a lot of websites that I surfed before I came here actually said that Jakarta is quite unsafe...

Anyways, I'm blogging at this place called the Horizon Lounge at Shangri La hotel.. dis place is cool..! I can get free drinks and free food at anytime of the day.. even free liquor..! However, you have to be a Horizon Club member to enjoy the benefits.. and you have to pay an extra fee of USD 30 a night.. well.. it's quite worth it I supposed.. after all.. I'm not paying it.. haha.. The gym is cool, the food is good in the hotel, the ambience is good.. overall I'm quite satisfied..!

Sunday, January 07, 2007

Keeps me thinking..

Well, it's been quite some time since I posted up my last post.. some of you might even feel that I won't be blogging anymore.. haha.. well.. all I've been doing for the past two weeks is eating, eating and more mahjonging and mahjonging.. haha.. it seems like good food is a necessity when you come back.. I've gain weight over this two weeks.. gosh.. I would need to keep up with my healthy routine again.. if I really wanna maintain my weight.. really can't imagine what would happen to me if I keep eating like that...

Anyways, my holidays really got somewhat into a kickoff three weeks ago.. when my ex- highschool mates studying ACCA finally finished their exams.. just as it seems that there will be more mahjonging, more food, and more bull shitting sessions... kar hseng has to go and report himself to the NS camp.. gosh.. what a wrong timing for him to do that, when all the fun seems to just be starting.. anyways, it would have been better for him anyways... rather than wasting his time sitting at home.. and only eat n play mahjong... (seems like I'm talking bout myself). Anyways, this following 1 and a half months.. will be much more quieter without him... as we not have enough mahjong kakis.. aihhhsss.. sienzzzzzzz.. well.. guess it's back to jogging.. jogging.. eating eating...

I read CC's new year post.. it just keeps me thinking.. what would happen between me and all of my friends.. in the years to come.. would we still be very close..? would we still keep contacting one another, play mahjong and eat bak kut teh together..? would we all still be single and complain bout being single..? well, I really don't know.. all I know is.. everyone seems to have different paths.. we used to need at least two tables when we go to a mamak stall.. but right now.. two table seems a little too much space for us.. ahha.. we couldn't even find enough people for paintball.. and this coming chinese new year seems like a much quieter one with more people going overseas... before chinese new year.. it just keeps me thinking.. whether one day.. we would all be individuals and never be categorised as groups again.. like the 'kalou' gang.. would it just disappear? or would it remain for a really long period of time.. ? well.. i don't know...

Anyways, hopefully the return of another friend from Malacca would brighten things up a little bit.. and hopefully the trip to pahang would workout.. I would really love to post up a new year's resolution post.. but I really can't think of anything now.. wait till I figured out.. what I want to achieve this year.. anyways.. enjoy ur holidays and keep having fun no matter where everyone is!

Worried like mad...

Gosh.. I just can't help but to keep thinking that results is coming out this thursday! I'm so worried on the outcome of my exams this time around. I really can't tell what's gonna happen.. Sometimes, I wished I had put in more effort to change things around, like doing my tutes regularly, going for every lecture and every tute, doing all the required readings and all the supplementary readings, going throught the I-lecture, going for all those extra tutorials and consultations, paying attention in lectures and tutes and not being a slacker. The fact is that I haven't done all those stuffs.. and every new year or semester that comes by.. I'll tell myself I'm gonna do it.... and over and over again.. I've failed in doing so.. shows how USELESS I am.... somehow time passes by so fast.. that I don't even have time to concentrate fully on my studies (this is just an excuse!!!)

I'm already having nightmares, I check my e-mail from time to time to see if Melbourne Uni sends me some e-mail to tell me to sit for some supplementary examination or something like that. I check the guidelines for marking law papers, turns out that they need 2 person out of a 3 person board to fail someone and if they could they hardly fail someone.. or at least that's what the guideline says.. anyways.. I really hope that's the truth! I really hope I don't fail anything at all.. esp CORP LAW and ACE.. gosh.... I don't want to go back for summer.. I'm enjoying a very simple life here.. don't want it to end just after 3 weeks.. I haven't played my mahjong.. I haven't gone on a trip... I haven't wore my liverpool jersey out to support them at a mamak stall or a pub or etc.. I haven't had proper seafood yet.. I haven't had proper japanese food yet.. I haven't done so many stuffs.. I don't want it to end right here...! PLEASE................... don't let it be.. =~~

Well, at this moment, I really can't do much anymore, but to keep praying and have faith.. whatever the outcome is, it's because of my own action.. whether it's good or it's bad.. so, let's just hope that everything turns out well.. I really can't wait anymore.. the anxiety is killing me! Good luck and all the best to everyone... hope everyone does well as well..

Another 'sueh' day

Looks like, bad luck won't go away just like that, I woke up today hoping that liverpool would win against portsmouth, guess what... they only managed a draw..! WHAT THE HECK! Well, the morning was smooth like usual, going to the market with my parents, buying some stuffs and after that went jogging and breakfast. That has become my usual routine nowadays. HOW INTERESTING!!

Well, my mom asked me to go for a haircut which I didn't really want to because my hair still has dye on it! I know if I cut it, she would nag at me if I dye it again! Eventually I went for a haircut and I bought a pack of LOREAL 3D dye or whatever u call it.. Excitedly, I wash my hair and put it all over my hair WITHOUT my shirt on.. So, after 30 minutes, I washed it off and guess what.. THE HAIR DYE ON MY FACE WOULDN'T GO OFF! I panicked.. and kept scrubbing and scrubbing my face and my body, but it just wouldn't go off.. I even use facial scrub to get the dye off.. DAMN, I was like.. if the dye wouldn't go off I'm FUCKED.. I WOULD LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT FOREVER!

So, I asked my mom what to do.. she told me to go back to the salon.. i checked wikipedia and realize that cigarette ashes do the same work as well, so I wanted to do that.. but my mom insisted that I go back the salon to wash it off.. she said it would be free! Ok fine.. I went back to the salon.. got them to SCRUB it off... it was not an easy task.. and that hairdresser told me to wash my hair as well.. and the total cost of my haircut was...
CUT = RM 15
DYE = RM 30
DYE REMOVAL = RM 10
HAIR WASH = RM 14
Total = RM 69!!!

Well, due to my stupidity... and I had to pay another 24 dollars extra and on top of that.. the dye on my hair is not really visible.. so that's a total of 54 dollars wasted.. including yesterday's parking fine.. thats a total of 84 dollars wasted.. man.. I'm a DUMBASS...!

The right motivation...

I've been back for more than one week, all I did was eat, sleep, watch tv series and jog in the morning. My life right now is quite monotonous, but the surprising thing is.. I'm not complaining. I haven't really hung out with my friends yet since they are really busy with their exam preparations for their ACCA finals. So yeah, no mahjong, not much mamak, no futsal, no watching movies, but it's not that bad. Managed to meet up with Su San today after like... 3 or 4 years..? But how lucky, the first time I met her and that's the first time I got a parking fine! Thanks to her laughing at me about the way I park my car, I ended up forgetting about buying a parking ticket! Gosh.. she's kinda sueh. All in all, it was good meeting up with her as the last time I met her was like in form 1..? Haha.. how time flies!

CC got her internship at PWC.. I haven't done anything yet so far.. I haven't typed out a resume, I haven't applied for any jobs, I haven't done anything related to my future. Everyone seems so pumped up to get a good job, to get ahead of others in the job market after graduating, but me, on the other hand, couldn't care less about it.. I really can't understand why. I wanted to work at PWC, but after hearing how those buggers torture those interns, I told myself, nah, it's too much for me to handle. After all, my sister quit after a month! Apparently, they squeeze every single cent that they pay u out of ur work! Well, I just think that it is important to enjoy ur holidays.. I don't wanna haf a sucky holiday and go back to melbourne complaining that I haven't rested enough. WHAT A GOOD REASON TO BE LAZY ! Actually I think I just don't have the right motivation to do anything! I'm lazy to go anywhere, I'm lazy to work, I'm lazy to socialize and I just want to sleep and sleep and SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPP...

First of all, I'm not even sure if I need to go back to melbourne after my results, results will be out in about 9 days.... ISN'T THAT AMAZING..? IF I SCREW UP, I'M DEAD! THAT'S IT! THAT's THE END OF HOLIDAYS.. BYE BYE HOLIDAYS..! So, what the heck! Might as well enjoy my holidays first before deciding on anything major! Yeah, call me a lazy bum, call me ambitionless, call me whatever you want, but my opinion is, you gonna work for the rest of your life, why start so early..? HAHA..

Well, I guess that's it for now... gonna go bed, it's only 11.10 p.m. I know it's darn early, but that's how early I sleep nowadays as the latest I sleep is at 1 a.m! I need to get up in the morning to jog!

Back with the heat (part 2)

I'm back with the heat again.. it's really warm back in malaysia eventhough it has been raining everyday. The rain is just ridiculous. You just don't feel like getting out of your house as you don't know when u'll get caught in a ridiculously heavy rain that blinds ur vision while you are driving and get urself into an accident. Anyways, it's back to good food, good tv with astro and more football on tv... and when I say football I mean.. the round ball that u kick.... not the Australian footy..! I still don't get why they call it soccer in Australia.. ridiculous.. haha

Anyways, been eating a lot, a lot of comments about me, my weight and my hair. Surprisingly, my parents did not give me a hell of a scolding when they saw my hair. My mom just said I looked like a VCD seller. Actually, I kinda like my hair colour right now, I really wanna dye it again. Well, we'll see. Anyways, I am actually considering to get an internship, hopefully I'll be able to get it.

You know what? The prestige is no longer on screen in cinemas and in Australia they are just screening it. Shits, I thought I could watch the movie here, guess not, I just have to get a dvd instead. Well, at least I managed to watch Borat! Anyways, to everyone who's still having exams, good luck and to everyone who's jobless right now, join the gang!

3 down.. 1 to go..


My second year in Melbourne is coming to an end really soon, marking an end to a torturing period of exams and the start of holidays. Anyways, I already feel like I'm already in a holiday mood and I really can't wait to enjoy. Well, I would definitely loved to stay a lil' longer in Melbourne after exams, but my parents wants me back home as I stated in my last post, my sister's in Indon, and there's only two of them left at home. So, I'll be a good boy and accompany them for an additional week. So, yeah, I'll be going home on the 18th! I'm quite sure I'll miss out a lot, as everyone's holidays only starts after the 20th. *sighz*


It's been a hell of two years, full of things going on, full of joy, full of problems at the same time. However, I'm quite glad, my final month in IH was really a joyful one, thanks to the fact, I've grown and thanks to the fact that I have a bunch of great friends, it really made a difference of my stay in IH. I'm quite sure I'm gonna miss all the basketball, all the 'banging' (no naughty thoughts, it's a card game! haha), fingering (an action card in a card game called family business), bridge, poker, watching soccer together, talking for hours along the corridors, at the nudel bar, all the random dinner conversations at the dinning hall, etc. I really will miss all those times. However, we've all got to move on eventually ( this piece of advice is for Jeannie, cos she's feeling the blues, hehe), and I guess moving out of IH, will further test my friendship with my two new apartment mates, Damien and 24. It's gonna be a challenge.. but a new experience at the same time. It's gonna be sad leaving the big family in IH behind, after all, it's been like my 2nd home for this 2 years.


On the up side, Ken and CC are moving out as well, which makes it better! Haha, at least my fellow walking mate from classes will still walk along swanston street with me! Well, it's gonna be a new experience and I know it wouldn't be that bad. And to all of you guys at IH, you can still visit us anytime, except if my exams are the next day! HAHA.. well.. to sheanee and jo, maybe it's time you guys start getting a bowl to cook mi-g, as we won't be around to provide you with a bowl the next time, haha..
Hmmm.. my eyes kinda teary.. ahhahahahha... maybe I'm feeling the blues too.. anyways, everyone.. take care, and continue the IH spirit all right! Ohh, and I guess, I'll definitely miss Fang's way of cutting people, I just discovered he is really talented at literally cutting people! haha..


Well, this is the very first picture I'm gonna post on my blog.. ENJOY!

I'm paranoid....

Somehow, i think I'm a paranoid person.. just like my dad.. I often worry bout things like whether I took my ID wif me while I leave the exam hall or shit stuffs like leaving my laptop out in my room while I go on holidays. Everytime I take an exam, I'll be so paranoid that I think that I might fail, or maybe I am just not convinced with the way I answered the corp law paper today... Well, I hope I'm just paranoid and I hope I could pass that paper.. Well.. everything that is done is done.. can't change.. but to pray for the best of the results.. should start worrying bout ACE tomorrow.. I'm running out of energy.. Red bull isn't helping.. I'm mentally tired.. can't wait for a break.. can't wait for a good sleep.. can't wait to go home..! Well, gtg study, good luck for tomorrow's paper everyone!
