i don't usually blog at work...but gawd... i'm feeling a bit ticked off now. its nothing about work... just the same old shit everyday. but i got off the line with Adelaide Skilled... sooooo fucking irritating being on the phone with them. It just pisses me off. They don't reply emails...so I have to call...and when I call...they tell me to fucking send emails. wtf?!

apart from that.. i've been trying to get my case officer on the line. so that i can actually talk to her about my application, and because I need to fly back home next month. but noooo.. the bitch on the other line says she can help and won't transfer the call. fuck that! i already know all their bloody answers. if i need to travel, i need to apply for a travel visa. go thru dimia..get the form... blah blah blah... all that shit. that doesn't fucking help me bitch!! what i want to know is that if i'm gonna get my PR soon enough so that i don't have to jump thru all those hoops, waste my hard earned money, and my time in doing that stupid application if its just going to be returned to me like the last time. bloody cunt for brains...

and then shes telling me i might not even be able to travel even if i make the application. they only give permission to travel under 'extenuating circumstances'. wtf? i'll shove an 'extenuating circumstance' up your anal retentive ass!! won't that be a bitch...if i can't leave the country. my tickets booked and paid for already. fuck man.

arrrghhh... this isn't making me feel any better la. and don't give me shit that it's not their fault....its part of the process..blah blah blah... i know that shit...but i don't give a damn. she pissed me of...wasn't any help...wasted 10 minutes of my time and is a dumb cunt. thats enuf of a reason to be unreasonable about it.
morning peeps! my adsl connection is kinda irritating. it keeps dropping out every few hours and i gotta reset the modem several times b4 it starts working. its working alrite for now... but i think something still wrong with it. the modem light is blinking like an epileptic frenzy, don't think thats normal.

i'm cooking luncheon meat sandwiches now :) would haev just brought a meat pie to work, but wanna finish up the bread that i had. fresh bread from bakery is actually pretty good. its only $1.20... and its still quite soft, well...its only been 4 days :p

my body still feels kinda sore...but i think i'm still gonna go kumdo tonight. i SHOULD be getting my armour today. I hope sensei gets me a nice colour. I asked for either red or black... but he looked a little blur. hahahah. no offense meant to sensei, but his english isn't very good :) maybe i should pick up korean. ugh.. i already have too many things i want to learn already.

oh! and thanx to joyce for posting a comment :) I get so little response to my posts that I don't really notice them :p most of my friends are too lazy to even tag me. ish! and they call themselves 'bradas'. lazy bums...

err... i think i burnt my luncheon meat. i'm off!

Tuesday, September 28, 2004

i'm tired as...but can't fall asleep. don't know if its cuz of the coffee i had in the afternoon... or that my body is too busted for me to sleep. i didn't wanna blog tonite... but i spent the past half hour tossing n turning in bed... so mite as well get up and do something.

for some reason...my finger decided to spontaneously bleed. my body seems to be falling apart. shouldn't have gone kumdo today....my knee is feeling worse than b4 i started resting. guess it hasn't fully healed yet. i'm only gonna go for class 2 times a week for the next month. should take it easy b4 i regret it in the future.

oh! about my interview today. it went reasonably well. I didn't get asked any questions that I couldn't answer, and I probably talked too much on some occasion :p the manager sed i would be a welcome addition to Accenture, that I have the potential to do well... blah blah blah..positive feedback. which is great... but i'm still not getting the job :p

....

heheh. guess i should make the post clearer huh? the interviews i went for are for a graduate programmer position at ATS (Accenture Technology Solutions). very technical. very hardcore. apparently full of ppl who subsist on coke, pizza and a computer. kla...thats abit exaggerated, but i'm not too far off :p

based on my interviews...and future career goals, the interviewer reckons i'll do better in the consulting arm of Accenture. i kinda think so too...cuz hardcore programming isn't really for me. I like programming... but i suppose doing it 8 hours a day... 5 days a week...for 2-3 years might kill me :p

so anyway, hes gonna make a note that i'm suitable for the consulting division, and pass me back to HR. Hopefully, I'll be contacted for more interviews for a consulting position soon. Ughh... I have to start from square one. aih aihs...

fwahh..20 minutes to write this post. shuold try getting back to bed. i'm gonna be so dead at work tomorrow.

Monday, September 27, 2004

i've got my 2nd round interview tomorrow! mann..they like to give short notice. aihs. i've been studying the whole night. downloaded lecture notes from my old subject websites. hahah. I feel like a student again...cramming for exams at the last minute.

thats all for blogging tonight. wish me luck!

today's weather was absolutely perfect for the beach! but i was too lazy to go :p Andy went though... I spent the day lazing at home and playing computer game. I did my laundry in the morn as well... and loads and loads of grocery shopping. spent $60+ for about a week's worth of groceries. Well.. I did buy alot of junk from woolies. Choc chip cookies (make that PREMIER choc chip cookies :p), mixers for my alcohol and potato chips.

With all the groceries I bought today... u'd think I would cook a decent dinner tonight. But I just ended up eating a pack of doritos and half a tub of philly cheese for dip. dammm nice. but abit too much, even for me :p

also went to see the doc today about my knee. $30 down the toilet...aihs. Analysis? Rest rest rest... I know that already ...but just wanted to confirm that theres nothing else wrong with my knee...don't want it to fuck up like my right knee. gawd... i'm gonna be decrepit b4 I turn 30.

apart from that...grocery shopping was rather interesting. saw a reallly cute girl while i was shopping. sweet features & fair skin. from her chinese, i reckon shes from china. probably doing uni...or even younger. i can't tell. pity she doesn't have much boobs :)

shopping at woolie's was rather eventful as well. saw a guy got ko'ed by this huge ass mofo. saying that fella looks like fat bastard from austin powers wouldn't be an exaggeration. he floored the guy with a punch to the face...and ran away. that bit was kinda funny...cuz hes so damn fat. his max running speed was barely as fast as the speed i jog. anyway...they called an ambo and everything. neway... don't know what brought it on la... they both look dodgy neway. like those abos that like to hang around train stations.

Saturday, September 25, 2004

absolutely no activity today... woke up and just spazzed in front of the com. anime OD...and then napped the rest of the afternoon. slept wayyy too long. body felt like mush after waking up. kinda enjoyable in a way... that I can have a worry free day like this :)

was planning to watch Shark Tales with Andy today...but weather was being stupid again. it looked like it was gonna pour bad... but then nothing happened. guess the clouds are constipated. sheesh. i didn't go to kumdo today as well. taking a short break to let my knee heal a bit. guess i shouldn't push it so much. kumdo should improve my body...not fuck it up

I actually made the extra effort today, and cooked... *jeng jeng* fried noodles!!!! impressive or not? :p its actually not a whole lot different from the noodles i usually cook... just adding oil & frying it, which equals extra yummy! hahaha

gonna make more of my day tomorrow. the weather better not fuck up again.

Friday, September 24, 2004

gawwd.. the trains were fricking horrible today. i left work at 8.30pm today....and onli got home close to 11pm. farkk.. whole night gone just like that. quite pissed off. no mood to blog because of that. bahh!
argghhh... don't feel like going today. well. I'm gonna be 1/2 hour late already. too lazy to run for the train now. why am I late? cuz i wanna stay home and listen to music :p Wish I had an ipod or something. aihs. I just completed downloading one of shiina's album. quite fun to listen to. i'm halfway thru it already...been listening since i woke up this morning.

Also finally got to watch the BOA video that I downloaded. Had to google for the stupid codec. Windows is dumb... She is quite hot! But her music only so-so, I guess... nothing special. But I've only heard 2 of her songs so far... so shouldn't make such a hastyjudgement.

today is Friday...but I think I'll come home from work and sleep till tomorrow. No energy lately...but then again, theres nothing to do also. Don't feel like spending money over the weekend. Got lotsa stuff to occupy myself at home neway...only problem is that they all involve staring at the computer screen. bleah.

blog blog blog...

well... i've got nothing much to blog about. but it's become an almost routine for me. Much like the cup of tea that I have every morning at work. It's Wednesday...so no kumdo today. Came home today.. and watched anime & listened to music.

I've starting dloading mp3s again. Well... only because I can get full albums :) I get abit anal over certain things...like how all my mp3s need to correctly named. with the title, artist, album, year, song index, genre :p perfectionist anot?? hahaha

I'm just listening to Shiina Ringo at the moment. Her music has been one of the better ones I've heard. She sings in english, japanese, french and german. Jazz, swing, grunge, pop....all kinds of songs. That's one of the reasons I like her music. Feels so different. Anwayy...rather than me trying to describe her, theres a TIME article on her music:

http://www.time.com/time/asia/2003/cool_japan/rinngo.html

The article says Sheena Ringo...but it's just a different way of romanizing her name.

OH! almost forgot about some good news that I wanted to blog. I got thru to the 2nd round of the Accenture interview!!! woop woop! I called up my recruiter today (useful having his direct number...heheh) and he says I got good feedback from my interviewer and they'd like to schedule another interview with me. yeah!!! V for victory!! K la... shouldn't be celebrating so early...the 2nd round is gonna be tougher...more in depth on my 'skills'...ahemm :p

Tuesday, September 21, 2004

fongie called me from KL tonight! so nice of her...but mainly cuz shes think's i'm damn depressed and desp for a gf....ahhhhhh!!!! but i can see her point...after reading the past post, pretty easy to assume that. aihss.. i should watch what i write :p

anyway! on the subject of girls (sort of) did I blog about http://www.caseycam.com before? I think I might have. I actually found a vid of her!! muahahha. damn ons! :) but like fatt's said...quite potong stim. its damn short. but she is hotttt! *fapfapfap*

hahahhah.. kla. that just reeks of desperation now. at least I know fatt's is same level with me :p although that's not exactly comforting. :p

religion seems to be the flavour of the week for me. I was thinking of death/afterlife yesterday. And today...this random old fart talked to me. At first I thought he was just curious about my shinai (I leave for kumdo directly from work on tuesdays). Then he asked my opinion about war, so I figure he is some old "make love not war" hippie dude. In the end, he turned out to be from the cult of Christ, and ended up telling me some 'history' lessons about Christianity, the bible, stuff like that. Its rather interesting though, not that its gonna make me a man of the cloth :p Its like reading a good fiction :)

Kla..I don't want to put down Christianity. "To each their own". That's my motto. But religion doesn't do anything for me at the moment. I'll live my life the way I see fit. As self-centered as that sounds, I think thats most appropriate for me. Its late now...sleep time

Monday, September 20, 2004

good news!!! i got myself a girlfriend!!


notttt!! painful fact...aihs. but nahh.. i got my tax refund today! woohoo! extra 1k in my account! BUUTTT every silver lining comes with dark cloud. Cuz that 1K already been 'spent' :p $800 on Kumdo armour. sick! Dunno what I'm gonna with the remaining $200 though. But I have plenty of shit that I wanna buy. $200 ain't enough. Arrgghh!

still no news from Accenture, but I'm gonna give it till Wednesday b4 I start getting depressed :p Speaking of depression... I've been thinking of dying lately. Well, just this morning actually. And no...I'm not feeling suicidal, nor am I depressed. Life is okay for me at the moment. It would be good if I had an Integra...even better if I got laid, but that's a different topic. Anyway, I'm kinda thinking what it would be like if a person died (namely, me...) I don't exactly buy in to that heaven & hell crap. I believe in a Creator but that's about it. Don't really care about spirituality now. I don't have enough "faith" for it do any good for me. Although perving on girls in church would be rather nice. [yah Thos...we know thats what you go to church for. don't coverline :p]

Enough digressing... I was thinking ermm..fuck. what the hell was I gonna write. Distracted by my music. Downloaded a couple of new mp3s. Uhh.. yeah. I'm just wondering how it would be like. Its not my thing to talk about afterlife... and all that kind of mumbo jumbo. I was originally thinking that it would kind of fun to be born again. With everything that I know now. I'm too lazy to write more la...but i'm pretty sure that you guys would have thought of something like that.


hmmm...reading thru what I just wrote, i realise that my writing is kinda random. aihs. guess my brain isn't as organised as I thought it was.

Sunday, September 19, 2004

i'm feeling quite buggered now. i spent more then 3 hours on public transport today. ughh... we were spose to go to Bondi today, but cancelled plans cuz the weather was being stupid. one moment, its damn nice. sunshine all the way. 5 minutes later, looks like end of the world. another 5 mins...back to sunshine. dumbb.

andy decided to go anyway though, and i agreed...unfortunately. I took a bus that goes to Bondi Junction near my place...and it does get there...after about 1 1/2 hours sitting on the bus. nyabehh... stupid bus route goes all the way south ..and then back up again. By the time I got to Bondi...the weather was already cold. No topless girls too :p Ended up just staying there for fish and chips..and went to the Westfield's at Bondi Junction. Nice place. Looks damn classy (i.e. expensive :p)

that's it for my sunday...i think i'll sleep at 9 tonight. i feel damn tired. not enough sleep. Went out late on Sat as well. Thos got his car back, so he came over and we went out for late night supper. We still went down to the city though... had Harry's hotdog. Its quite nice...and got to perv at a hot chick there too! with a bareback top...nothing much left to the imagination...mamma miaa! :)

oh...and Thos wanted me to blog that he "mati-ed" engine while reversing his car. hahahahah. actually, he didn't want me to blog about that part of the night...but too bad :P

Saturday, September 18, 2004

mannn.. i'm so tired. i did just come back from kumdo, but that wasn't it. its just been like that the past few days. I always fall asleep on the trains now, and I almost missed my stop the last 3 times I was on the train. Alwez manage to wake up in time to run out the door.

I watched Catwoman with Thos yesterday.. nice! SM warrior queen! hahahhah. But that aside, it is a little too much CG... alot of the movement quite fake, but I guess thats how movies are nowadays.

today was shopping with Andy at Birkinhead Point (spelt correctly?) To be more accurate, window shopping :p Both of us were looking for a suit. Andy was just looking for a coat now. We did find a couple that were nice...but gawd...suits are a real bleeder. At least $300 for an okay one. There was a Cerruti going for $450 !! Nice!!!! Somehow...I just love NC brand and Boss :)
Alas...we don't have the money to blow.

I might go back next week to actually buy a suit. I suppose I do need one, not just for my sis's wedding...but for interviews and stuff. bah

anyway... no plans tonight la. i think its better for me to stay at home. i need to get some rest. i've been out the whole day anyway. and i got a new computer game from Andy as well... so at least I won't be bored :)

Thursday, September 16, 2004

Missed a day of blogging yesterday. Was kinda tired and got back late. Well...my interview was yesterday. Some of you guys already know... it didn't go too well. Aihhs... I mean, it wasn't horrible. I could answer the questions reasonably, but not without the occasional Ermm..Hmmm... pauses... tongue tied, etc etc. Aihs.. And the answers I gave. welll.. it could be better as well. I only thought of a better answers AFTER the interview was over. stupid!

the questions weren't exactly easy. well, i suppose they are kinda standard in a way. Ask about the greatest challenge you face, how you resolve conflicts, what i expect to gain from working there. my opinion on this..on that.. and some technical questions too! bahger... like sitting for an exam only. out of nowhere ask about software life cycle..testing... if i was fresh out of uni, then it would be no problem. but my computer knowledge all rusted already.

their questions are quite specific. and its sorta tailored according to what you write in your resume and cover letter. for example, when the interviewer would ask "What are your strengths in programming?" "In a dispute with your team mate, how would you deal with the matter?" blah blah... I was so nervous that I didn't have time to remember the questions he asked as well...ughhh

well... I'll find out how I did in a week's time. Sighh... can't do anything but hope for the best. And start looking for other places to work :p newayss... after the interview, I hung around kino for a bit. waited for Thos to finish work and then watched him do BJ with a guy at his city dojo. hahaha. so dodgy. ermmm. I watched for a while and then went off to Andy's place for dinner. had a couple of drinks (and smokes :p) , chat and then went home.

I sort of got on the wrong train though. It would still take me home, but using the long way around. But neway... because of that, I hopped off at Wynward station which is where *drumrollll* Krispy Kreme is!!! Have to admit la...donuts that aren't fresh are kinda crappy. Nothing more than a sugar overload. And I bought a dozen summore. heheheh. Greedy...

Getting real late la....sleep time

Tuesday, September 14, 2004

interview tomorrow !! stress!!! stress!!! shouldn't have gone kumdo today. would have given me more time to research all the interview stuff. last minute studying...aihhs. old habits die hard :p
I did do my research b4 la... just that i forgot everything alraedy. oops :p

i don't even remember the name of the guy i'm suppose to meet. arrghh!!! wrote it down on piece of paper, but i left it at work. crapp. that doesn't matter...as long as the paper is still there. getting my colleague ring me up with the details tomorrow. hope its still in the same spot.

sighhh... the more i think about it. the more i'm stressing out. i'm actually getting a headache already. mannnnn. i need to relax.... i'll go make some tea to drink. heheheh.

enough about the interview. blog about something else. Errmm... I seem to be spending more nowadays. The more activities I do... the more I have to spend. (well.....not have to :p) . With kumdo, theres the fees, uniform & armour (one off items, so it ain't that bad). But my monthly expenses increases because of the additional bus rides I take. Plus I definitely eat out on the days I go for kumdo. And I tend to buy a drink from the convi store after training. I had Lipton milk tea today. $2 for a 400ml packet. Its pretty nice actually. Makes me miss Jacq's milk tea though. yumyum. Have to admit...she does make it pretty good. Probably the copious amounts of sugar water she puts in :p

on another note...the scab/blister? on my hand seems to be expanding. eep! i can't tell if its getting worse. at least if it was a scab i could pick it :) but its hardening beneath a layer of skin...so I don't know if i should just slice my hands and bleed it out...or leave it. hmmmm. i think i'll take a photo of it and show Wilson. Free consultation. hahahahah :p

Monday, September 13, 2004

awrightttss.. i got my interview with Accenture scheduled! woop woop! now I'm nervous as heck. Can't afford to fuck this up. My first choice for a career. Add oil!!! I can do it!! I guess I better start preparing.. I spent the night figuring out what to wear, and then ironing it. Hehehhe. Feels like I'm preparing for a hot date (actually...I probably put less effort into that). Its on Wednesday anyway. So I have tomorrow night & Wed morning to get ready.

I don't even know how to answer regular interview questions yet. Stuff like 'why I wanna work with Accenture?' blah blah blah. I'm not enough of a bullshitter. It's already kinda hard for me not to go 'errrr...' during an interview, as well as speaking clearly. sighhhhh. come to think of it, none of my interviews went particularly well. i get too nervous and can't arrange my thoughts & words properly.

i actually wanna blog abit more...but i better not waste any more time. I still need to complete the online application. haven't put in my cover letter & academic transcript.

Sunday, September 12, 2004

i wanted to blog while waiting for my dinner to cool down...but blogger took too long to load for some unknown reason, so i ended finishing the dinner first...and then blog :p

first up, dinner recipe!

what:
====
1/3 X Chinese Egg Noodles @ $1.25 / 420g
1/5 X Happy Lams Fish Tofu @ $5.99 / 500g
1/4 X Happy Lams Beef Balls @ $2.20 / 200+g
1/4 X Bean Sprouts @ $0.49 / 450g
1/12 X Farm Fresh Eggs @ $1.99/dozen
Lee Kum Kee Oyster Sauce
Chicken Stock (non-MSG)

how:
====
1) Boil in a medium sized cooking pot (stainless steel preferred).
2) Put in Chinese Egg Noodles. Separate noodles & stir occasionally for 2 minutes.
3) Turn off flame (or power...) & rinse noodles in cold water. Set aside.
4) Put water to boil again & add 1 tsp of Chicken Stock. This makes the soup base :p
5) Add Fish Tofu, Beef Balls to soup. Stir occasionally for 2 minutes and add return noodles to soup.
6) Crack egg over the noodles, making sure no shell remnants get mixed in.
7) Add bean sprouts to pot, and make sure that it is partly immersed.
8) Turn off flame, and leave the pot for 2 minutes.
9) Add oyster sauce to taste and dig in!

Total cost of meal : Roughly $2.50

not bad eh?! you can tell i'm pretty bored now :p i've been writing up a cover letter for my Accenture application, but can't be stuffed at the moment. Anyway... the noodles is what I usually cook for dinner at home. I usually add some fresh mushrooms as well, but forgot about it today :) Hmmm... meat pie is still cheaper though. $6.28 for 6!! muahhahah.
i have some combination good & bad news related to my kumdo. Sensei told me I will start wearing the bogu (armour) next Saturday. Yay!!! Bad thing is...I'm gonna have to fork out $800 for it...painnnnnn. Good thing I'm getting some tax back! :) if all goes well with my tax return. i shuold be getting around $1K back.

I guess I have to put my bike on hold...again :p Well...its not just the money I have to fork out for the armour. Its also cuz I'm reconsidering again. aihss... keep wavering back and forth between a car and a bike. arrrrghhhh. On one hand, riding a bike is so cool! And I really enjoy it. On the other... it's a lot less practical (except for parking). you can't carry shit around...get rained on, its cold. And its quite sick to ride in work clothes :p aihhhhssssss. Well... I'll just keep an eye out for a good deal on a bike la. But won't force myself to get a bike now. I suppose it is a good idea to secure a new job first, before making any moves.

I also watched the Terminal last night. It wasn't too bad. Some laughs... and its an interesting story. Rather fresh. And its not so lovey-dovey as well. So thats a plus...especially since I watched the movie with Thos.

sunday is chores day. doing my laundry...cleaning up.. etc etc. Hmmm.. I gotta save more money this month. A lot of extra expenditures... theres my bogu, the medical I had. Hmmm... that seems to be all actually. But thats already 1K aussie... ouch! and theres so many things I need to buy. A new chair for starters. Mine will probably break in about a month or two. The back is almost at a 45 degree angle. Aihhhs... and new chairs don't come cheap. bloody hell... the world really revolves around money.

Friday, September 10, 2004

friday night blog. like i mentioned previously (...previously mentioned? hmmm) i had my PR medical again today. went down city, had lunch with Yen and then went to the medical. i didn't have to do a chest x-ray again though. woopee!!! i guess some good did come out of having my follow up x-ray so late (the one for the TB follow-up). saved me ermm...$80. yeahh!! lucky thing i decided to bring the report from that checkup, if not i would have to do the xray. phew! i don't feel so bad now. hahahah.

although with my luck... i can envision my case officer getting the medical reports late. and then that xray report would have expired (valid for 2 months)... and i have to go thru the whole process again. By the time i get another xray done, and get the reports sent over, my police check and skills assessment would expire o_O ....ARRRGHHHHH... kla. abit exaggerate. i'm not born under a black star (i think...)

newayz. i went to see bikes today as well. at Action motorcycles in the city. pity its not like in Melbourne. you get all the city bike shops in one row. sooo much more convenient. anywayz. The guy i spoke with didn't recommend an FZR250. Cuz its too old...and will have problems eventually. Thats not a big deal in itself...but parts for the FZR are REAALLYY hard to get. I should know...I rode one in Melbourne. I couldn't even get a windshield replacement for my bike. Shheeshh.

i told him my budget for a bike (around 4K...more to the left side) and he mentioned its not enough to get a badass sports bike. They have a '97 Yamaha Zeal going for $4500...regoed till Feb '05. oh! in case you didn't realise... i've decided to get a bike instead of a car :p I lose the convenience of a car...but i get to ride something that looks and feels good :) now i just gotta work out how much i should spend, and what to get.

Thursday, September 09, 2004

missed out on blogging yesterday. can't quite remember what i did anyway. probably just watched anime till i went to bed.

i'm not happy with my PR application. damn fucked. i have to do the stupid medical exam again. gonna cost me another $283 !! wtf mann.. whats the bloody point of doing it when sending in the application if it just expires within 6 months. damn pissed off. i'm gonna be broke enough without having to pay for extra shit like this. not only that, its gonna delay my application even further. depending how long the morons that do the medical take to process the paperwork.

at least my PR is pretty much gonna be granted once the medical shit is done, according to my case officer. might as well just grant the damn thing la! biatch!! take so bloody long to look at the application. thats it man.. i'm gonnna milk aussie for all its worth once i get my PR... :p

at least i can get my medical done tomorrow. which equals taking leave from work. which is both a good and bad thing. good = i don't have to work. bad = i don't get paid either. aihss

bah...i'm in a bad mood now after blogging about this. signing off...

Tuesday, September 07, 2004

arrrghhh!!! just came home from kumdo... and was hoping to have some of the butter cookies for a snack. sat down...opened the tin up and the intoxicating scent of butter cookies filled my nose. i looked in the tin, and discovered NO MORE COOKIES!!! ahhhhhh. i totally forgot i ate them all for breakfast this morning. aihssss.

nehow. its been a realllly long day. the day really drags on when u'r tired and just want to get out of work. aihs. doesn't help that i wasn't feeling well. maybe i'll pull a sickie tomorrow :) but i kinda ran out of it already. eeeps. got stuff i need to do at work anyway. so shouldn't be bludging unless i really have to. fwahhh. i'm so impressed with myself. so responsible :p

nothing much else to blog about. my downloads have been good to me :) got some new music to listen to, as well as new anime! at least that can keep me occupied for a couple of hours. i also found out from one of the seniors at kumdo that that the armour costs AU$800. eep! my wallet is feeling the sting already. don't know the quality of that as well. i can't really tell anyway. but apparently its measured by its stitching. 2.0mm to 4.0mm; the tighter the better.

i guess i should start saving more. so many things that i wanna buy when i go back home. 1st priority is digital camera! suggestions ppl ??

Monday, September 06, 2004

'The Davinci Code' is actually a pretty good read. i'm slightly over a third thru the book. just been reading it while on the trains. i was reading it on my way home today, and almost missed my stop. too engrossed in the book, i didn't even realise the train was making stops.

didn't feel like cooking tonight, so had siu yuk fan!! i eat way too much of that. thats probably the reason why i can't seem to lose weight :p i think i have it at least twice, if not 3 times a week. too much... nothing else happened at night, ODed myself on anime, and finished Fruit Basket. Internet was down until about 10 mins ago, so i only just got online.

i'm just gonna finish this blog, then i gotta go pack my gear for training tomorrow. my left hand looks really ugly now. theres a red spot where i got a blister at the 'ball' of my finger. i think its a blood clot under the skin, and the skin is exposed...cuz swinging the shinai tears parts of the skin away :p sounds gross huh? i'm take a picture if i had a cam :)

what other injuries do i have? i got one thats unrelated to kumdo...got a stupid ulcer on my lip. damn irritating. all this while i thought it was a cut or just cracked lips. looked in the mirror 5 mins ago and found it was an ulcer. sheesh. just as irritating. at least it doesn't really get in the way of eating :)

oh! i still haven't gotten a timeslot for the accenture interview. aihs. nvm! i shall perservere!! and keep bugging the accenture guy until he organises one. muahahhaha. kla. i wanted to blog more about kumdo today, since Wilson asked. Will (no pun intended ^_^) do that next time. feeling lazy at the moment.

ugh...this is kind of a crappy weekend. didn't get to yumcha (curse you thos!), which is actually a good thing, cuz i'm sick now. bah! i shuold have taken some panadol b4 i slept in the afternoon. major headache now, and a slight fever.

didn't get up to much. it was pouring in the afternoon. got caught in the rain on my way home. i went down to city about 11-ish. had lunch (by myself!! :p) at ichiban-boshi. which contributed to a crappy day cuz they didn't have their special "15 bowls a day only!" tonkatsu ramen. bah! at least their karaage was alright. not very filling though.

i actually wanted to shop around for a suit... but my fever was already kicking in. the cold weather and drizzle didn't help much. and it was so bright and sunny in the morning!! sheeeshhh. neway. i went to see MFest! it was pretty good actually. quite a good turnout for the weather. There were a lot of performances by Cempakans. Flew all the way down to perform. The chinese drummers were pretty good. it reminds me of the movie 'Drumline', watch that! its quite fun. Anyway, Datin Freida was there as well. Said hi to her as well. She looks so prosperous. Hahahah. Cempaka has come a long way in just 5 years. It seems so different from when we were studying there.

oh! i also bought a book as well. "The Davinci Code". Alot of ppl seem to be raving about it. Carol says its really good as well. so might as well. i needed a book to read and had no idea what to buy. I only read a couple of pages though, can't really concentrate on the book with my fever. but it seems promising.
no yumcha again today...again! thos is being a woman. farrk. i'm still going down city anyway. but just wanted to post a link

it's the new Pepsi Max ad in UK. its pretty funny. I reckon its a ripoff the matrix pingpong clip. but its still pretty good.

hello world! i've got pictures! muahahahah

as you can tell...i'm quite the bored person now. been mucking around with my blog templates and stuff. its good HTML practice. can't remember half the stuff i learnt.

2nd post for today! i'm pretty bored...as you can tell. didn't do nothin today. only kumdo practice. i wasn't feeling well around noon as well. felt like i was getting a fever. so just slept away my afternoon. felt better after that though. guess i just needed to recharge.

going yumcha tomoro!! as long as the weather is alrite. bad weather forecasted. hope it doesn't rain too much, especially since yen & koon having their mfest thing as well. would be a pity. Pai Kuat!! here i come!!! Side note... someone googled into my blog looking for pai kuat :) a kindred spirit!!! hahahah

ermm.. i've been looking for bikes as well.. which i shouldn't :( makes me tempted to get one...which is kinda a mistake... arrgghh! tough chioce. anyway...some pictures of the ones i'm interested in:



the one at the bottom is the same model as my old bike too! damn nice... the preview of this post looks a little funny. can't figure out why theres a chunk of white space b4 the pictures. oh well.. i'll fix it when i've got the time.
aih...such a boring morning. nothing much to do at all. shouldn't have ODed on the anime last night. now i don't have anything to kill time until kumdo. well. i actually planned to go down city and do some shopping, but woke up a bit late... and then i had to do my laundry... no more underwear :p and then i had to get out of the hosue... cuz no more laundry powder o_O aihs

was planning to yumcha tomorrow as well. but then the stupid Thos wanted to do it today...cuz hes lazy to go out tomorrow. but i just cooked lunch. bahger. i figured mite as well yumcha tomorrow, then can go down Darling Harbour to see the MFest thing. don't ask what it is... i'm not sure. just some malaysian cultural event organised by UTS malaysian society. or mebbe its a combo of a couple of uni's. can't remember what Yen said.

so i guess i'm stuck at home for now... with nothing to do but gorge myself on danish butter cookies. which i just bought...and already ate almost half a 700g can :p

hello blog...

i was late for work this morning. did i blog about that already? don't think i did. i realised i left my mobile behind 2 minutes before the train arrived at the station. usually i wouldn't bother going back to get it, but i'm hoping to get a call from the Accenture guy regarding my interview.

work was alrite...i think i'm getting rather bored of what I do at work. i get abit stoned by 3-4 o'clock. just want to go back home by then.

i'm usually sleeping at this time...but just got back from kumdo practice. putting my legs on ice at the moment. still haven't fully recovered from last time, but i'm still going practice anyway. it doesn't really hurt anymore. don't know if its cuz of the voltaren... or cuz its better.

more anime downloaded!!! woopeee!! unfortunately...its fucked up cuz i can't watch it. mahemm... either the video is corrupted... or my codecs aren't complete. divx is good...but can be a bloody pain.
