Saturday recap. I mucked around at home for most of the day... and met up with Andy in the city around mid afternoon. He was a little late... so I just sat outside Starbucks and took some pictures :)

am I bored, or what?

vroom vroom!!

Anyway... couldn't mooch any free coffee cuz Tho's housemate already left work. Seriously... being out in the city really is pretty expensive. I just had some nuggets from McDs... and a mocha from SB, and thats already $10 down the hatch. Could have gotten a whole chunk of siu yuk with that :) Enough to last for 3-4 meals. Hehehehe. I should stop measuring food expenses in terms of siu yuk :p

Hung around at SB till about 6.30ish then its off to the highlight of my week. Sushi Tengoku!!! Best unagi I've tasted in Aussie so far!! And probably KL too... Tengoku was only me & Thos. Andy had to meet up with some Chinaboy for dinner. His dad's friends son, so Andy has to play nice ^_^

Enough talk. Pictures pictures!!

This dish was free! Courtesy of the chef for Thos :) I can't remember it's name, some kind of white fish. But its good!

Sashimi!!! Supposed to be sushi... but Thos ordered wrongly. Fool! Also bloody delicious!

Salmon fry! It's salmon and its oily. 'nuff said ^_^

Chicken teriyaki. Kinda normal...but still tastes good

And the ultimate!!!! UNAGIIIIII... totally orgasmic

The bill totalled $60... we tipped $10, so the meal was $35 each. Pretty ex i suppose, but its a great meal! Aih...now I feel like going again nex week :p K k... must stop staring at the picture of the unagi... starting to get hungry again, and I just had finished dinner 10 minutes ago

Since i'm gonna resign from Favco on the 12th Jan ... I figured I'd take a couple of pictures for souveneirs. First up... my trip to Favco every morning

I catch the 7.02am train to Liverpool. Well... at least I try to :p I'm usually 1/2 - 1 hour late. Soemtimes cuz the trains get fucked... but its usually cuz i'm watching anime or eating in the morning ^_^

After a 40 minute train ride, I arrive at Liverpool Station. I stare at my bus stop sign (nice number!) until the bus arrives 20 minutes later. The bus comes at 30-45 minute intervals, so its a pain in the butt.

Bus comes. 15 minute drive and drops me off at this road. Looks like a normal area with lots of traffic n stuff... but

Its mostly farmland all around :p Usually theres some cows & horses about. But don't know where they are. I did arrive at work at about 10am though :p

I walk down the road in the previous pic for about 7 minutes and reach the intersecting road. Still don't see where I work huh? I gotta walk up here for another 10 minutes till I reach the office. Past the horizon o_O You can actually see a small crane sticking out, but the pic is too small.

After that... I forgot to take pictures of the office & factory :p I was kinda late...so didn't really wanna waste anymore time ^_^ And then it rained in the afternoon...so couldn't take pics then too. Oh well... I'll be there for another 2-3 weeks. No worries

okay. I just finished watching Casshern and its a really dumb movie. Granted that I like the effects, CG and anime-styled fighting but a lot of things are left unexplained and even the ones the did explain didn't tie together. I'm not the kind of person who analyses every petty detail of a movie...but sometimes 2 much is 2 much.

Adding to that, you got these jokers on the net putting up reviews that says "It's great!!" "Superb!!" "Watched it twenty times!!" blah blah blah.... shows how shallow some people can be. But then again... I continued watching the movie because I liked the effects and the actress was pretty :) Enough bitching about it la... I guess I'm still feeling a little irritable now. Don't know why.

Just a little more about the movie though. If you haven't clicked on the link and checked it out, its one of those movies fully done in CG (e.g. Sky Captain & something something). Theres actually a few of them out now. One of them is a french flick, Immortel (Ad Vitem) and another one is Sin City (2005). Theres another japanese anime inspired movie that I wouldn't mind watching even if its crappy (hot chick! hehehe) called Devilman.

Fun fun fun!! Oh. I've put in my resignation for the 12th January 2005. Wish me luck in finding a job by then!

went down city to have dinner with Andy today. i usually don't go down on weekdays, but he really wanted to go over a business idea with me. he was just 'enlightened' by Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad bok and got really psyched by an idea that he thought of. All a result of his computer breaking down and having nothing else to do at home (sounds kinda like me...)

But neway, we had a pub dinner at Scruffy Murphy's, chatted and discussed his idea. Gave him some tips...and we'll just see how it goes from now on la.

Neway... I have a feeling that Sydney trains are really filthy. I seem to be getting a rash every now and then from riding the trains. my hand is all reddish and slightly swollen now. It had those "mosquit bite"-like lumps all over as well. yuckk!! glad its gone... shoulda taken a picture though. show the doctor the next time I visit. I think i should an allergy test.... just in case i developed new allergies to some foods.

i've really got to stop watching movies while having my breakfast in the morning. can't bear to leave home for work once I start. Turned up to work at about 11 cuz of that :p I wasn't watching anime for once too. heheh. Downloaded a korean flick called 'My tutor friend'. Not too bad la. Quite entertaining. The girl wasn't exactly pretty...but cute in her own way.

Thats all for this post. Got stuff that I need to do... namely.....job search!! Such a pain. Ugh! Its kinda depressing to know that my value as an IT graduate reduces with each passing day in my current occupation. Well...being a bartender would be worse. but at least i'll be earning more AND having fun with alcohol :)

I've been cooking pretty decent food lately. well... so far its been omelettes, steaks and chicken fillets. I even cooked veggies for myself! Not a bad change for someone whos been subsisting on meat, spam and noodles for the past year.

I do have the tendency to make my food unhealthy though... I got all the herbs and seasoning for making a nice steak, but in the end couldn't help it but put cheese as a topping ^_^ steak and cheese!!! yummmyyyy. I even cooked my veggies with cheese just now :p I didn't put a lot laaa... just a few handfuls :)

Newayyyy... i'm sorta looking forward to the mornings now. Cuz I get to cook myself a nice omelette. I shall make a mushroom & cheese omelette tomorrow! Ooooooo...can't wait! heheheh

You'd probably notice i got nothing significant to blog about :p Oh... quick question. What's the first thing that crosses your mind when you see:

http://www.tradersexpo.com.au/

porn site right?? Righhhht??? Don't deny it. I know thats what you first thought of!! No need to act innocent! Hehehe.

U'r wrong though... It's actually the website for a trader (sharemarket...not sex :p) exhibition that the Australian Stock Exchange held... nice choice for a URL, don'cha think? ^_^

Me n Thos decided to go jungle trekking yesterday! Went up north to a pretty isolated area called Hornsby Heights. Pretty good weather... so its a nice trek. Pictures!!

Plenty of trees...

rocks...

and crocs! :)

heheheh... enough of that la. We actually just went over to Fatty's place. His is 2nd last day in Sydney. Moving up to Bundaberg next Monday liao. Spose to be here for another 2 weeks at least...but schedule pushed forward. So as of Monday... Nicholas will be living in the land of Bundaberg rum, with nothing to do but frolic and prance around the sugar plantations, drink rum.... and ermmm.... did I mention the sugar plantations? :)

The pics I put up earlier were actually part of Fatty's backyard... huge ass compound. Filled with various flora & fauna, poisonous insects, snakes and assorted creepy crawlies. Oh....and probably lots of bird droppings and dog poo as well. His mom keeps heck a lot of birds... and they have a swarm of german shepards as well. Good thing those pets got shipped off to Bundy already ^_^

me & Fatty

We had an early dinner somewhere in Hornsby. Nice grill place called Blu. The food was pretty decent... as per Tho's expression

I had Grilled Octopus...entree size ^_^

I like fountains!!

Fatty was there as well... but his pics didn't turn out, so didn't bother posting them. We had gelati after that as well... so theres my diet going out the window :p I crashed at Tho's place later that night. Hogging his PS2 :) We ordered a large pizza for supper as well...so errr... thats it for my dieting laa.

uneventful day. was spose to have dinner with thos & andy... but i got lazy when i reached home. it looked like it was gonna rain really heavily too... strong winds n stuff. but turns out nothing happen. sheeesh. so instead of dinner in the city, i had a chunk of .....

siu yuk!!!!!! $4.20 worth :)

and i was spose to be dieting too! I had healthy meals the whole day until dinnner :p I made omelette for brekkie... then had yoghurt for mid morning snack. a tin of tuna for lunch, and then another cup of yoghurt mid afternoon. quite healthy hor?? :) but i was pretty hungry by the time i clocked off... so i guess a tin of tuna ain't enuf for lunch

i did get some free stuff at work today!! working in purchasing has its perks :)

I got a bottle of wine. A diary. 2 cups (the nescafe one is really big! can't really tell from the photo), and a stubbie holder. Not bad :)

Ok... apart from that. Nothing much else to blog. My boss did show me some pretty funny beer commercials. I poked around on the net and found a direct link.

Why men do ballet: http://www.thedierks.com/allowe/video/Isenbeck,BalletClass.wmv

Voodoo beer: http://www.thedierks.com/allowe/video/Brahma,PowerOfBeer.wmv

I got the links off http://www.allowe.com/Humor/video.htm . Theres a whole bunch of them there...so have a look if u'r free. and have broadband. Theres another Isenbeck beer thats pretty funny...but kinda disturbing ;p I lost the link...but try googling "Isenbeck commercial soap". Should turn up something ^_^

I'm back in Sydney!!!! i'm back in sydney?? NNOOoooooOOooooo.... Kla. It ain't that bad. But I could have stayed in Singapore for 1 extra day. My flight was actually this morning, not yesterday like I was informed. Should have checked my ticket... instead of relying on what I was told. Ah well. I would have been pretty bored during the day anyway, so I guess its not such a big loss.

The highlight of my trip was being able to meet up with Jacq. Totally didn't expect I would be seeing her until maybe 2006 or something. So that was really nice. And she took a MC for the day too, not because I was down in Singapore....but cuz she had a medical checkup that day. Oh well... at least I could still spend half the afternoon and night with her. If only I was 2 weeks earlier huh?? ;) Might have been a more exciting trip :)

I didn't really get up to much else. Slept till late morning cuz I arrived at the hotel close to 4am. Jacq needed to have lunch with her new bf so I mucked around until about 3 in the afternoon by myself. oh!! I watched Incredibles!!! First ever movie that I watched by myself :p Not as depressing as I figured it to be (watching a movie alone...not Incredibles :p) But I suppose its more acceptable since I don't exactly know ppl in Singapore. Plus I really wanted to watch it and gawd knows when it will be out here in Aussie. And its cheap too!! $6.50 singaporean compared to AU$15.30 for a movie.

Ok... just some photos for now. I originally wanted to do a backtrack post like what Fatts does... but I can't be bothered at the mo'. I just woke up and I'm hungry. Oh! And in case you haven't noticed, I'm ditching work today :)

I stayed in Strand Hotel@Bencoolen Street. Don't stay here.

Hotel 81 next door is cheaper AND better ermm... equipped?

They are both budget hotels, but at least 81 provides free tea/coffee/cup noodles ^_^

Me, Jacq & her puny chihuahua

Jacq & her not so puny German Shephards. Disgustingly friendly.

Totally hopeless as guard dogs

Jacq's huge huge Singaporean mansion ^_^

Kla... thats overkill, but I reckon its VERY big for a Singaporean home.

Actually...its big even for a Malaysian home. Rich brat!! :p

Hainanese chicken rice for dinner!!! Yummmy!!

@ Changi airpot. I'm a sucker for water features :)

i'm off to singapore!! yay yayyy! company paid 'holiday' ^_^ how fun!!! hehehe. will have someone picking me up frmo the airport... bringing me to the hotel and stuff. I feel so important! muahahahha.

more on it when i'm back. my flights at 10pm...but I gotta get to the airport b4 7 cuz I need to pick up the goods from someone else as well. hopefully nothing stuffs up like the indonesia thing! fingers crossed!!!

Jez a normal day. But the heat was mad!! Reckon its in the high 30s... drastic changeover now though. Its all dark skies and strong winds now. Temp should be mid 20s ? But I don't feel it in my house cuz the wind isn't coming in....so still pretty warm in my room.

Enuf about the weather.... Went down city and had lunch with Andy. Walked around Market City abit...and Thos turned up as well. Me n Andy had churros while Thos had his lunch

Churros!!

Cinnamon on the left....and chocolate cheese on the right!! ^_^ Guess which one is mine. heheheh. It ain't half bad. Mexican version of 'yau char kuai' ? Don't think KL has these yet. Will probably turn up soon... anybody wants to franchise? I'm alwez looking out for business opps :)

and also... a shot of the new EY building right next to Chinatown. This is the kind of place I won't mind working at :)

Interviewer: Why would you want to work at EY?

Kiangs: Because I want to work in a new building...

^_^

pity their grad programme for '05 is already closed. ah well...

I was feeling pretty bored earlier... so I decided to take some pics with my kendo gear (and also make use of my mini tripod! ^_^) Unfortunately... the pics didn't turn out very good. A little out of focus and too dark...cuz I forgot to turn on the flash. Aihss.

But neways... Just uploaded some pics from last night.

The ultimate pork chop!!

Thos enjoying his bun...

I even took a video while watching Resident Evil as well. heheheh. Trying my hand at pirating movies :) Damn nonsense... didn't turn out too well though. The refresh rate is a bit off...but at least it really does look pirated. hahahaha

Pish... didn't get to go Indon. Such a waste, a mini holiday AND get paid at the same time. Got everything ready already... went in to work, told boss that I would go. Then they booked ticket and everything. I even came back home to pack and stuff. But when I got back to work.. didn't need to go already. Ciss! All because the stuff I needed to bring over was too heavy. 36kgs each...and I needed to bring two of them! But thats not the problem either...stupid Aussie regulation that states a single luggage can't be more than 32kgs. Unions! Bah!! Lost my chance at making big bucks! 2 days worth of weekend pay man...thats double my usual rate!!! Arrrgghhhh!!!

Oh well... at least I got 2 hours off work cuz I went home to pack :) Nothing much noteworthy about the rest of the day. Had dinner with Thos at Campbells... power food!!! took a picture of it...and will post it up later :) And then FINALLY watched Resident Evil 2!! Really liked it! Pretty cool. The Jill Valentine looks pretty hot! Should get her name.... she looks damn cool! I likeeee :p

i'm being sent to smuggle drugs to Indonesia tomorrow o_O

.....


kidding kidding. Company needs to send a package over to Indo, and its apparently super urgent. so they can't wait for customs to clear it and stuff. so gonna get someone to hand carry it over. They asked me la...but I'm not sure if I'm going yet. Its gonna be pretty tiring. And I would leave tomorrow night...and probably take the 1st flight back. I'll only get to do duty free shopping at most :p Aihs...so near Malaysia, and yet so far! Ma haiii! Send me to KL mahhh... I'll take another couple of days off and party back home :)

On a different note... now I know how blur Sharon can be. Ahahaha. Read Fatt's blog for details. ^_^

Neway.. I'll decide if I'll go Indo tomorrow morn. Wonder what kind of renumeration I'll get paid... Hmmmmm

I didn't want to watch anime today... but I watched 2 eps of something I just downloaded the moment I got back :p Cooking Master Boy! Its pretty fun. Over the top cooking... heheheh. It reminded me of that Stephen Chow flick, "God of Cooking", is that correct? Not too sure of the name. Love most of his shows! Can't wait for Kungfu Hustle to be released. oh wait..don't tell me its released back home already? o_O

I've been checking out some bartending courses. One of the website I found had some interesting news articles. Obviously about drinking :p

http://www.speedpour.bigpondhosting.com/photos/custom_011.htm

I had a chat with the general manager at work today. He asked me what were my plans for my career and gave me some advice. It got me thinking a bit, cuz frankly... I don't know what I want to do for a job. All I know is... I want lots of money!! and don't we all?? :p

I have no idea what I'm going to do if I can't make it into a decent company's graduate programme. I've been attracted to Accenture because I sorta know what its all about. I've been to interviews...and I've researched the company. And it sounds like a great start for a career. But I'm not so confident now as to whether I make the cut. And also...I'm just darn lazy to do a proper job hunt. Hehehe.

I've been considering going back to studying again. Take up some courses...or maybe do a Masters. The only thing I'm sure of at the moment is that I want to be a bartender... and I need to lose weight :p I think I'll rock up for a course next week. Must call them up tomorrow and check out the schedule.

oh! I finally got around to buying some glucosamine for my knee. and a neoprene knee guard (is it called a guard??) Not cheap man....$60++ all together. Ughh... and the glucosamine is only about a months worth. But it sounds pretty good though. Its by Nature's Way and its in powder form. Tastes pretty good! Like fizzy orange juice :) Contains glucosamine sulphate, chondroitin, zinc, manganese and some other random stuff. All supposedly good for healing damaged cartilage. and it also has vitamin C (thus the orangey taste)

nothing to blog..as usual :p buts its abit of a habit for me to blog. i'm still wiling my time away watching anime right after I get home from work. Should really stop that.

Ooop... Swee Fong just called me! hahahha. But to ask about computer stuff. cheh! :p Hmmmm.. lost my train of thought liao. I just finished my exercises actually. Too lazy to break a sweat :p Just did some reps...and swing my shinai around a little :) Its abit hard to practice with the shinai...cuz the ceiling ain't high enough. Kena the ceiling occasionally...

Now that I think about it... practicing kendo does put a lot of strain on my left knee. I tend to put my weight on it more often. Guess thats why my knee is kaput. Should find out if I'm standing the correct way.

gonna make a relatively quick post. wanna sleep soon. lack of sleep lately. work was normal today... pretty boring, but at least I was kept busy most of the time. my body was aching the whole day. I started doing exercises again yesterday. just crunches and stuff. can't do any running cuz of my fucked knee.

I think gotta see a doc again... it seems to be getting worse even though I'm not doing impact sports (heck... I don't even walk fast now :p) But it doesn't seem like doc can do much. Just prescribe some nsaids...and maybe glucosamine. And tell me to rest it up. Aihs.

neway... it has been a fair while since i did any pushups/crunches. my stomach cramps up now when I sneeze... pain :'( really should build exercise as part of my life...rather than a 'once in a while' thing. Need to get to a gym...but no transport!! Ahhh. Shouldn't be a problem by Feb la. Will be moving in with Yen and we'r intending to stay in Kingsford. Thats near UNSW, so I can use the gym over there. exercise AND uni chicks! ^_^

Theres something I've been wanting to bitch about since I came back...but lazy to write about it now. Next post :p

unproductive sunday.... i've been watching yuyu hakusho since last nite. watched it thru the morning and afternoon as well. body damn tired. really need some kind of couch or somethin. its pretty tiring sitting on a desk chair for so long. i've still got a couple more dvds to go... but didn't feel like watching it.

Watched a chinese flick instead. Its a pity I only brought 3 shows back here. Its quite fun watching them.

Thats what I just watched, "Papa loves you"...pics kinda blur. But its kinda hard handling the webcam cuz of where I placed it. I only have 1 complaint about the webcam so far... its abit hard to take image captures. The software it came with only does video captures... but doesn't have a software option to take pictures. Maybe I can download one...but at the moment, I have to press the button on the camera to take a snapshot. Not very convenient sometimes.

Don't know what I should do now...don't feel like playing games. And theres no1 online to chat with. It can be pretty boring to stay home during weekends huh? Especially if you live by yourself.

oh! forgot to mention...it wasn't too bad of a show. Not "laugh out loud" funny...but I don't mind watching it. The story? Single father & daughter. The father is a sissy piano teacher, and the daughter is the typical rebellious wannabe gangsta chick. The father ends up saving a bit time triad boss by accident, and the daughter's schoolmates mistake the dad for some retired super gangster who wiped out 108 ppl in a fight 18 years ago. They decide to 'follow' him and things happen. Daughter gets close to dad because he is now 'cool'. Daughter gets in trouble. Father saves the day by pretending to be the super gangster. You can guess the rest of the story :p

Hmm..I'm not very good at writing reviews huh? :p

looks like my keys aren't at home after all. might have left them at work... but i'll only know on monday. at least the agent has 2 sets of spares...must make sure I don't lose the whole lot :p

didn't do much today ah... a slow day. i woke up at around 11-ish and then went yumcha with yen & koon (after waiting an hour for them to get ready....girls!) Had Marigold's super pai kuat!! hehehe. dam shioks. pity I didn't have my camera with me :p

after that...just picked up the spare keys from my agent...came on and spazzed watching Yuyu Hakusho the wholeee day. Pinched like 18 dvds from Yen :) heheheheh. the subbings abit shit la...hongkie/taiwanese copy. the names are mixed up. and some translation abit off, but you get the gist of the story at least.

oh! and Yen is going to be my new housemate!! next year that is... we'll be moving in together next year if all goes well. At the moment its just us both... but looking for a 3rd housemate as well. so that can get a nicer place (and possibly cheaper rent!) Come on Thos!! Just stuff SC & leave your broadband-unabled apartment :) hahahaha

Kla...at least I got that part settled liao. Its just the looking for a new place which I'll do in January. The only thing left is a new job for me... and everyone seems to support me being a bartender :) I need the change in environment.... Favco is getting too boring for me now

tiu lor.... i'm locked out of my house. no key to go home o_O ahhhhhhhhhh

gonna crash at yen's place tonight. i'm here now actually. aihs.
gonna blog later la...her computer seems wayyyy to slow. laptops. *ptui*
hahahah

*edit*

kinda bored now....rather warm at yen's place. we'r watching Saturday Night Fever on tv right now. a very gay John Travolta.... Tonight's tv theme seems to be about dancing. Strictly Ballroom was on earlier... watched that as well :p

k k...commercial break gonna be over soon

an uninteresting day...so I shall post some interesting pics

took a shot of an intruder into my home while i was partying back in kl. It's a flattened Fatts!! hahahahah... no idea how it got that way. i'm pretty sure I didn't step on it o_O

next up.... my dinner for tonight! a whole tub of cheese!!sweet chilly philly & doritos!

oh yeahhh... now THATs orgasmic food :p I love my new webcam. Was happily showing off my dinner to fatts, kelynn and fatty. heheheh. Kla...that wasn't really my dinner. just dessert :p I am soooo gonna get fatter.

on to a more serious post... I'm thinking of quitting my job. Well... its memang I'm supposed to quit it eventually. But I wanna quit like really soon...and then find a bartending job somewhere. I think the pay would be about the same (maybe more!!) but at least I'll have more fun doing my job. And hours would give me more time to do some other stuff. I'm still considering it la...the pros n cons. Was playing around with the idea while on the way back.

dear boys & girls. please do not eat expired peanut butter....or you might get butt rash like i did :p

kla...it wasn't so bad. not sure if its the peanut butter either. just assumed it was cuz it was the only thing i ate today, and i jez found out its expired. butts not itchy anymore...so its all good :p

on to a more desirable topic... ^_^ i posted last friday's pictures up! its up in:

http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/lunaxy/my_photos

took me bloody 1/2 hour to put descriptions in....so read it!!! actually...i thought i was renaming the files :p stupid yahoo.

i went in to work late today (i seem to mention that alot huh?) Needed to go city to apply for my Medicare...and cancel the private medical insurance I had. I had a better looking girl serving me this time (the woman yesterday was a sour looking creature). and she told me I didn't have to pay for the insurance after I got my PR! woop! saved me $300++ !

work was the usual...everything normal. only that I don't get to do kendo today :'(
sighh...

did I mention much about yesterday? I met up with Andy in the evening, and had a couple of beers :)



right now... i'm webcamming with Jun-Yi... sort of anyway. Both of us are still downloading stuff...so its more like watching still pics than a video :p I'm trying to decide if I should just spaz in front of the com and watch anime...or play games (got lots of it now!) OR do something more serious like job hunting & house hunting.

Which brings a question to mind...should I get a new job first? AND THEN look for a place to live. Or the other way around. Hmmmmm

didn't go into work today...had to go down to the city to get my medical insurance done.. and fuck!! i forgot to take in my laundry...brb

***

sheeesh. lucky i blogged tonight. made me remember that I did laundry this morning as well :p
neways... i have to go back again tomorrow. cuz I forgot to bring my passport... so couldn't do anything except make some claims. I got $90+ back! Doesn't cover shit ma...I forked out ermm....roughly $1000++ for the damn insurance. And now I found out I still have to pay the fees for an 'Overseas Visitors' cover even though I got my PR...just because I didn't inform them and change my cover. Doesn't make a difference even if I didn't pay it...I still have to pay for backcharges. Crap....what a waste of money

k k... enuf bitching. just a lil blog on yesterday. Thos was kind enough to give me a lift from the airport. We had dinner...and *drumroolllllll*

the few things you guys in KL miss out on

little lumps of heaven!!

yummmmyy!!!

not related to krispy kreme :p,

my AU$800 pride and joy!

ok...i haven't been back in sydney for more than a day and i'm already missing KL :'( To all you guys (& gals!) back home... I had a blast. Makes me kinda regret being in Aussie while u'r all partying back there. Its bloody awesome being back home. The food, the partying, the drinks, the food ;p and best of all... the friends. Love you guys to bits!! And meeting up (and partying!) with Jason after not seeing him since I came Aussie was great! good food on Friday btw :)

I'm really sorry for those of you that I couldn't meet up with...or couldn't hang out as much with. Kar Weng, Jun-Yi & Sugus comes to mind. Theres always next time right?! I'll post up more pics of my last days in KL soon enough. Still busy setting up my computer. Bought a whole heap of stuff. I actually got myself a webcam & a mic. Mucking around with that at the moment. And I just installed my spanking new DVD writer! Anyone wants me to burn & mail DVDs? ;)

oh! and I wanna see pictures from the rest of the cameras! Fatts! Joanna! gimme gimme!

spent the day just chilling at jason's place. spose to go over and help clean the house...but everything was done by the time I got there. I'm supposed to go shopping as well...super last minute...considering that I'm gonna be flying off in less than 12 hours. I haven't even bought a dvd writer yet. Think I better go do that now...thinking if I should go down to MV or 1 Utama.

I'll stop blogging for now la...should just go do some shopping first...

man...i wrote a post just now...but accidently closed the window b4 i could publish it. ish! good thing I didn't write much.

i'm still kinda stoned from last night....i reckon most of the guys would still be. i wanna go to bed now... but i just wanted to make a post first...and put some pics up! :) spent the past half hour resizing and trying to upload the pics. theres gotta be an easier way to upload multiple pics man.

just a few for now la... its abit difficult to upload the pics the way i'm doing it...and i really wanna sleep now. anyone wants the pic just drop a tell. the whole lot is only 4megs (resized la obviously)

the loot!


do I look good or what?


layaning themselves in a corner


girl power!


i'm barely in the pic!!


A wasted Jason...

continuing from my previous post...sort of

i went down to Petaling Street with Fongie & Kar Yee (her fren) today. Soooo bloody hot. Even my jeans were kinda damp with sweat when i reached home :p I didn't get anything though. Both the girls picked up a mini mahong & gin rummy set. I just ate 'kon lo meen' :) and had the air mata kucing (kuching?)

i really need some sleep actually. feel so tired...but dunno whether i should go lame at jason's place. the guys are watching dvds there right now. but i'm so tireeeedddddd. and its gonna rain heavy...lightning & thunder liao...so i better turn off the computer.

must remind myself to get an mass image resizing program. so that its easier to upload pics. Hmmm...I actually wrote a program like that before. Can resize images :) well..it was part of that 'friendster' website that I was mucking around with earlier in the year. guess i should expand on it. hmmmm. Use some 3rd party software in the meantime. heheh

quite the 'pei' now man... slept at 5am. and didn't manage to get much sleep either. woke up at 8.30...and slept on and off after that. it was damnnn noisy. some apartment was doing some renovations. i think the downstairs unit. Combo'ed with last night's activities... it doesn't add up to a conducive rest.

a whole bunch of us went to Zouk last night. Mambo night... it was bloody packed. haven't been in such a crowded club since...ermm... the last time i went clubbing :p I didn't get entirely wasted...cuz i was supposed to drive Swee Fong home, but she drove my car in the end. hehehe. i was still concious :) but too dizzy to drive from the city. good thing too. passed by a road block. we didn't get stopped though... guess we didn't look wasted enough :)

i've got some pictures...not of Zouk though. I didn't bring my camera to the club... good thing I didn't in a way. Might have lost it somewhere :p Its not exactly the most portable piece of equipment in the world (yes Fatts...your camera the best for bringing everywhere :p)

gonna restart the com now...just installed drivers for the cam. gonna move the pics to the com. laterz!

another early day! kla...its already 10.30am but i'm on holiday :p
going for some bah kut teh soon... gotta pick up nins & jason. feels kinda early for it... wonder if they are open for business yet. or is bkt a breakfast, lunch & dinner thing?

i went to Pasang for seafood dinner last night with my dad's fren. Dammnnn far. The restaurant is called Coconut Flower. hmmm.. did I blog this already? or did I mention it when I replied an email? hmmm. but neway, its bloody far! Got lost going there as well... missed a turning and drove extra 20 minutes. Went to some ulu kampung area area. the kind of place where all hell will break loose if you release a pig there :p hehehe
the only seafood i can eat is fish...so i didn't get to eat a whole heap. but the food i can eat wasn't bad neway. we had something that looks like deep fried shishamo. damn nice!

after that...met up with swan ming & jason and went hartamas for drinks. joanna & brenda joined us and then nins and his gf as well. I still can't spell her name... so i shall refer to nin's gf as nin's gf for now :p hehehe. had a couple of beers and smokes. just chilling. but swan & jason were ragging me to layan the GRO (guest relationship officer! i just learnt that ^_^) aihss.

oops! its time to go

morning morning... i've been waking up feeling really wasted the past few days. i wonder if its my bed. it feels like i'm not getting a good rest. wake up feeling super tired...and body feels damn wasted.

nothing much went on last night. i went Atria to buy some games. they have games on DVD now! I didn't realise it the first time I went to the shop to buy...so i bought this game on CDs

aiks. gotta pause blogging again. the Peugeot broke down... overheated again. gotta go help my sis out.

*pause*

back... nothing really wrong with the car this mornin...just ran out of water o_O sis hasn't been checking it.

i bought my camera this morning!!!! picked up a black Sony P-150. nice!!! kinda ex...and overkill...but i'm pretty happy with it. 7megapixel of sexed up camera power!!! heheheh. Paid RM2040 for it...it would have been RM1990 if i paid cash, but used my dad's credit card instead. got some other stuff with it la...256mb memory card, tripod, case, travel bag and a screen protector.

i haven't tried it out yet...because I ermm...lost the memory card o_O Well... I just lost the 32mb one that came with the camera. dunno where it went....i suspect the dog ate it or hid it somewhere. aihs. and I haven't picked up the 256mb memory card from the shop yet. no time to do it tonight...so i'll probably go in the morn tomorrow.

gonna go shower now...got dinner later. any mebbe try to look for the memory stick again. its gotta be sumwhere....

kinda bored now...no idea what to do.

oooooo... just saw Incredibles trailer on TV. its coming out here on the 18th. ma hai... i've gone back liao. dunno when the hell its going to be out in aussie. its alwez damn bloody slow there...not to mention expensive :p mebbe next time should just ask someone to mail me dvds from kl. hehehe.

k k..back to blogging. ermmm.. had lunch in Lucky Garden with Fatts and his fren, Cheng Leong. after that... I just went to do abit of shopping in MV. took me bloody 45 minutes to find parking. damn stupid. they closed of the entrance to P2... spent 44 minutes rounding P1, looking for parking with gawd knows how many other cars...and then i found the exit to the P2 parking...and theres like so much parking down there. ma hai...wasting my time only.

too lazy to do clothes shopping... i just bought toiletires to use in Aussie :) cheap cheap! and finally got myself an electric toothbrush! rm35....quite cheap. i think they tagged it wrongly...cuz the green one was $85 (i got the blue one). If thats the case then 'chup tou'! :)

I also bought a new pair of earrings, and a necklace. hehehe. haven't bought these kind of nonsense for some time liao. i'll post up pictures the moment i get my camera, which will be tomorrow!! :)

the new 1U is damn huge... don't think i've seen half of it yet. pretty standard shopping complex i suppose, 'cept for the rainforest part. pretty nice. it'd be great it that got converted into a clubbing/pub strip though. but i guess it'll get messed up really quick.

i realised why my stomach's been feeling so bad lately. it wasn't cuz of the garlic cheese naan i had. its a side effect of the drug i was prescribed for my knee... its an NSAID... so side effects include bleeding/ulceration of the stomach :p basically just means cramps and diarrhea are normal side effects. its called Bextra... similar to the Voltaren I took previously, but this one is once a day at least...not as troublesome.

fatts just showed me this link:

http://jaimedays.blogspot.com/

rather interesting, don't you think ? :) pity it's probably all BS, but you never know! that's probably the exciting part. hahahah.

oh man...been havin diarrhea since yesterday. :p having a garlic cheese nan at murni didn't quite agree with me. i couldn't really eat much yesterday, went to the toilet like 5-6 times and stomach felt kinda sore. its still not much better today...and don't have anymore of this 'po chai yuen' pills at home. gotta go buy some...

we went out to poppy garden on friday. it's a pretty nice place. I like the design and layout of the place. its sort of open air as well...so its not stuffy/filled with 2nd hand smoke. I didn't really like the music the DJ played though... r & b stuff... but the songs weren't very good. and theres pauses when he switches songs. killjoy. pictures will probably be up in fatt's blog (when his blog isn't down :p...switch to blogspot!). he was happily snapping pics most of the night.

saturday was just hanging out with fongie. went to have okonomiyaki at Ikano. i think we were cheated out of $2...we ordered cheese with our okonomiyaki...but it doesn't look like it was there...can't even taste it. but the girl cook said she put cheese on o_O aihs..can't argue la...we didn't realise there was no cheese after we were almost done.

walked around after that... they have this really huge pet store over there. apparently the biggest in asia. its not too bad though. a fair bit of animals. couple of reptiles..hamsters..fishes... dogs. not much birds though. hmmm. it doesn't look like the animals are well kept. there was dog poo in most of the cages....and a couple of the dogs were having diarrhea (garlic cheese naan??) Not very encouraging. And its a pet hotel as well.

After that came back to my place and watched VCD. Chinese show...'I want to be Model'. think i mentioned that I bought that...its really good! nonsense show...but its really funny. you guys should watch it if you can. Errmm..what else ? My cousin had a birthday dinner at her place...so i went for that. the I met Fongie again for a movie. We wanted to catch a horror flick, but then all the tix were right in front of the screen, so ended up watching Shark Tales instead. Watch it!!! As expected from Pixar, its a funny flick. I can't wait for Incredibles.

fatt's blog is down again...seems to be down a whole lot lately. and i also just realised something. his url is sstwo... as in ss2 in PJ :p i never noticed it until sharon mentioned it last night. i alwez just read it as swoot...or something like that. hahaha. blur man...quite unobservant.

saw a doc again this morn... and have to go back for a follow up nex week. aihs. he reckons i've got RSI... repetitive strain injury ? or something like that. basically too much pounding of the knee... and the cartilage is worn out..rubbing against the bone.. etc etc. stuff that i kinda know already. ish. and he wants me to stop kendo/impact sports for at least a month..or two. shit man....don't know if i want to listen to him o_O but i guess i should huh? the drugs he gave me won't help if i continue with kendo... bah

didn't do much last night. just went yumcha at hartamas with sharon and jennifer. azrin and his gf came later at night. then i just came back home and watched more vcds :)

i'm spose to go pick up my new glasses now... in the city... but then its gonna be lunch hour...and then friday prayers...so rather stay home and write a blog :p

oh! camera update... i'm going to get a Sony Cybershot. Now i'm deciding to go with the P150 or P100.... the difference? P150 is in BLACK...and 7 megapix. p100 in silver (couple of colours...but i don't really like them), 5 megapix and about rm300 cheaper ? not too sure..wrote it down somewhere. I just remember the P150 is rm2050... i think i mentioned this in a previous post ??

i'm allergic to dog. my nose acts up after playing with my sis's dog for a while. ugh... but i still play with her anyway.

hmm..i'm just gonna blog later... nose feels too blocked up

** continued **

the dog's name is Cookie btw :)

what to blog? oh yeah.. I watched a movie with Swee Fong last night. Yesterday Once More... Andy Lau & Sammi Cheng. not too bad la.. fongie thought it was kinda draggy. but i didn't mind it that much. cute show.

oh man..i can't stay in a closed room with the dog... shes only in here for 2 minutes and my nose is already affected. i'll just make a quick blog.

had bah kut teh again today. and supposedly gonna have it again tomorrow :) Fetched fatts from work and went to Kelana to eat. spose to go 'chow yang' (? no idea how to spell)... but the store there was closed. cong sheng and a certain malay friend joined us for a pork fest :) heheheh

ok...my allergy can't take it anymore....better leave the room. need to go get some antihists first b4 hanging around the dog so much..

just a couple of pictures taken by Yuchun during my sis's wedding dinner. the girl next to me is my god-sis.

correction...the girl in white next to me :p the other one is Sophia, yuchun's soon-to-be wife

don't know what the hell was up with today... spent sooooo much time waiting. for what? firstly... I had medical appointment at 11am. but they never recorded it down and treated me as a walk-in, and they only mentioned that AFTER I waited for an hour. I asked whats going on, and they said another 15 mins...which became 1/2 hour...which became 45 minutes... which turned into an hour o_O damn peeved off.

the rest of they day was doing errands and stuff. had to pass some documents to a property developer...all my pay slips and shit. waited for 1/2 hour plus there for him to photostat the documents.

after that had to go down city to pick up my mom's air ticket (flying to perth on wednesday) and sent my god-sis back. rain + kl traffic = 3 hours stuck waiting. o_O

only good thing about today was that the wiper on the car died. well..that isn't a good thing. it just happened when we were right outside my house. lucky it didn't happen in kl...if not wouldn't be able to drive back. the rain was blooody pouring. if only it was the same in sydney...get rid of the stupid water restrictions.

i had another big dinner tonight as well. god-grandfather's birthday. my mom has alot of godfather/mother/sis/daughter... i think i will go the gym tomorrow. 4 nights in a row eating like theres no tomorrow.... i'm really gonna go back to sydney with lots of excess baggage :p

tireddd... just got back from the 2nd wedding dinner. glad its all over... not that i did anything. hahahah. the dinner's alrite la.. held somewhere in the city. near Sogo. I think the place called Wangsa Maju or something. Same building as where I got new specs (getting, to be more accurate)

fatt's is at finnigans now...but kinda lazy to join them. i'm already sleepy. and i'm gonna go see dentist tomorrow as well. don't know what I'll be doing after that though. hmmm. its a holiday in selangor... so at least got kaki in kl. I think i wanna go eat chicken rice :) we shall see.

even back here in malaysia...i'm still dloading anime! hahahah. and the line here seems to be faster than the one i have in syd as well. ma hai!! and sis barely uses it to download stuff. such a waste of bandwidh... :p

oooo... i just remembered i got the 2nd half of a vcd to watch. 'prince & me'? or something like that.. Julia Stiles... chick flick :p but got no other vcds at home to watch. I already watched the old Stephen Chow shows when I came back. quite convenient having a small tv and a vcd machine right next to my bed :)

i shall blog before fatts! he's probably gonna wake up some time in the afternoon after yesterday's session.... i'm probably go back to sleep as well... after popping a panadol or something. majorrrr hangover. :p

last night was my sis's wedding dinner...as i mentioned b4. i've got another one tonight (groom's side) but couldn't ask any of the guys to come to this one. don't know if i can recover in time for it :p

its a little hard to blog right now....my thinking is still kinda fuzzy. fatts is gonna blog the same thing anyway..hahahah. since our night is pretty much the same :) wedding dinner... and then drinking session in hartamas.
We went to Orange... we meaning Sugus (Cong Sheng :p), Joanna, Nins + gf, Nains, Fatts & Kelynn. I remember the flamings (2 of them summore! bloody nains..... :p) ...i remember the games and how I kept losing in superman/batman/wonderwoman and 007-bang :p reflexes abit dodgy by that time of the night :p

the only thing i don't remember was....leaving the place o_O passed out already. hope i didn't do anything uhhh....too embarrassing. good thing had sugus to drive me back :) no drunk driving for me!

anyway..fatts will have pictures up.....eventually :p so head over to his blog. trancemission something :p sorry la! i never remember your url. hahaha

2 more hours b4 i have to head off to the hotel for the dinner. soooo fricking tired. i didn't do much. but drove around alot...had to drive to the groom's place in cheras...and then i got lost on the way back... missed a turn and got stuck in puchong. the rain didn't help...bloody traffic jam.. i think i was in the car for almost 2 hours. ughh

i still haven't gotten my slacks yet. i went to the place just now...but forgot to bring bonuslink card...cannot go in. ma hai...its a special bonuslink sale. wasting my parking money. ish! i overpaid summore... parking so cheap here! hahahha.

i'm gonna rest abit then head off la...almost dozing off when driving around o_O

ahhhh....a proper a/c room feels so nice!

had bah kut teh for dinner earlier. fatts and edmund (melb's) came for dinner as well.

i bought my suit today already...not too sure if i mentioned it already. got it from Seed. its okay laa... cheap suit i suppose. should have gotten one from melbourne. heaps nicer.

and i need to get a pair of slacks tomorrow as well. ma hai... i wear size 32-33... but some size 32 slacks are too bloody tight... o_O bahger... and my mom got me a really nice pair from singapore. can't remember the name... heheh. but its incentive to lose weight! :)

i already kena diarrhea on my first day in KL :p and I haven't even started eating in all the dirty places yet. I had nasi lemak with beef rendang for lunch... in mid vally jaya jusco. clean looking place (but gawd knows what goes on in the kitchen...)

anyway... all for now. gonna catch up on some chinese vcds :)

i'm backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!

and the first thing I do when I come online is blog o_O

my house looks kinda different now. Got some new furniture. The bedroom floors have been refurbished. Its now some kind of wood panel flooring. my bedroom is more of a storeroom now... the clothes that I had over here has been relegated to a tiny corner in my cupboard o_O MY computer has been transferred to my sister's room WTF?!! at least now I have a small TV and a vcd player in my room.

i still don't have a mobile phone number yet. the digi number I alwez used last time is dead....or missing. I don't want to post up any phone numbers on the web (very dodgy thing to do!), so if you guys wanna contact me...just send me an email, or drop a tag!

-----

ok... maybe don't leave me a tag. not sure if its down, or just some settings with the computer. can't display it

noodles for breakfast. 2 cups of milo and chips for lunch. 2 slices of pizza & a bottle of pringles for dinner.

my diet not bad huh?

1 1/2 more days b4 I leave for KL. yahoo!

i went shopping today. sorta...just walked around Market City (shopping complex in chinatown). I wanted to get a couple of t-shirts... but nothing nice. and the one i wanted didn't have my size. actually... it did, but the image printed on it was abit distorted, so i didn't want it. i bought an aluminium tie holder though. 6 bucks. pretty cheap. closing down sale kinda thing.

after that just lamed at kino with thos. there was an anime convention at town hall. but its $25 and full of geeks (hmmm..shouldn't say that since i watch anime too...and lots of it). theres a couple of ppl cosplaying as well. I saw a Tifa from Final Fantasy 7 on the street. and a cat girl turned up at kino later. and there was a dorky looking guy wearing a Naruto headband. thats damn sad... and he looks around like hes in college or uni.

anyway..thats about it la. it was raining the whole day as well...so couldn't really shop. i'll try to do some on wednesday...got a couple of hours to shop b4 my flight home. fatt's wants me to find some kangaroo balls o_O

fatty's been reading a rather dodgy japanese (translated) newspaper online. the following is one of the articles nic forwarded

http://mdn.mainichi.co.jp/waiwai/0201/020106moms.html

I wake up too early... its 8am on a Sunday. I should be sleeping in but I'm blogging instead :p I woke up an hour earlier anyway. Watched a little bit of anime (woot! theres no1 online to chat with :p) and went to do some grocery shopping. At least I planned to. The shops weren't open yet o_O Most of them just getting ready for business, so I ended up not getting anythin.

I did have breakfast though! An egg tart, sausage bun (yummy!) and some pai kuat with rice (double yummy!). Not too bad ahh..breakfast for $5.80 I could eat the pai kuat everyday! The portion is about right...like Malaysian serving. Its a normal serving of the pai kuat you get at 'yumcha' places, but they cook it with rice at the bottom. about a bowl's worth of rice...slightly more. pity they don't open for dinner.

food makes me happy :)

kendo was fun today! but the most tiring so far... we did free sparring, so its pretty cool. i kena paued by the seniors...and scolded too. hahahah. i kept defending myself (u'r suppose to just keep attacking). i know that...but i don't have the bloody stamina. absolutely dying... but fun in its own way.

i actually got bruised though...ma hai. training with other beginners is more dangerous than a senior... they hit the spots which isn't protected by armor. kena bruised on my elbow too...don't know how or when that happened. i only noticed after class that the elbow region was blue black already. ugh... i even got one on my wrist...the gloves don't do much there. it hurts each time i get hit there. mebbe i should be some tennis arm bands :) more padding. heheheh

was thinking of giong out tonite...but feeling damn tired now... so probably not.

--- laters ? ---

i have committed a most grevious sin!!! i went to have siu yuk + char siew rice for dinner tonight, and the unthinkable happened. I...I..*sob* ...dropped a piece of siu yuk on the floor!! NOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!! Sacrilege!!! The crisp golden brown skin...the glistening layer of fat... laying on the floor. mocking me. "Haha! You can't eat me now!". AHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! The gods of siu yuk must be punishing me for polluting a plate fo siu yuk with char siew. I won't do it again!!!

not going to kendo today... i ate abit too much. finished up the rest of the beef rendang i cooked yesterday. i think i cooked enough for 5-6 meals...finished it all for today's breakfast, lunch and dinner. i also had a whole can of pringles on the way home. picked up the pringles when i went to buy some soya bean. greedy. couldn't even wait another 2 minuts to reach home b4 i opened it. ended up polishing half b4 i even reached the door :p

i feel rather uncomfortable now...stomach really....bloated :( i'd probably puke thru my helmet if i had to do kendo. blech

with that said...theres nothing else to do tonight. anime as usual. and maybe play some computer games. oh! i've also added jun yi to my links (or going to :p) she has an interesting blog title :)

i recently started watching Azumanga Daioh. cutesy type of anime. doesn't really have a storyline. but its funny. I'm blogging about this cuz I sorta like the opening theme. its been repeating in my head for the past 2-3 days. its a really...odd song. I think I like it...but not sure. hehehe. I'll see if I can post a clip up. the music just intrigues me. its a simple tune...seems abit off key. speeds up in parts...slows down... o_O

*jeng*jeng* be impressed! i can cook.... beef rendang!!! muahahhaah. instant style :p
cooking halfway now...and the whole house already smells of it. oh yeah...i had to close all the windows cuz of the rain. doh!

i already blogged while i was at work...so nothing much else to say. i found an interesting link from readin xiaxue's blog though.

http://illustmaker.abi-station.com/index_en.shtml

was playing around with it at work. check out the new me! hahaha


guess which one i want to look like :p hahahah. don't know how close i can get the pictures to look like me... but the hairstyle is the closest (when I make it neat :p)

blogging at work. i'm tired, hungry and bored. slept late last night cuz i was watching anime (what else la...) and then didn't have any food at home to cook. so didn't bring lunch to work. decide to diet then :p i'll probably end up buying some chips & a drink from the vending machine later on... aihs

looking at cars now.

"Honda Civic CXI late 1998 3 dr hatch, 5 spd man, factory sunroof, steer, air, silver, 12 mths rego, 86000kms, immac in/out, lady driver/second owner, regretful sale, ARH-61C $10900 neg BELMORE 02-9718 6163 or 0410-56269"

doesn't sound too bad hor? its still just a CXI though...Thos reckons better to buy VTI at least. but dunno la... knowing me, I'll probably end up collecting speeding tickets and lose my license within a month or so. Can't stand the speed limits here...and you can't bribe the cops :p

quite a lot of stuff to do at work now actually...especially since I'm leaving next week. have to clear up lots of stuff. blehh. and another project manager's taking annual leave as well. dumped like 20 pages worth of drawings & material schedules for me to expedite and order... ma haii. at least I can escape from doing stocktake...which is going on next weekend.

ughh..stomach complaining already. gonna make some milo :p

rather than taggin... figured i mite as well mention some of my replies here. i know digital zoom is crap ahh... but the the ixus i5 is so sexy!!! small and compact. perfect for voyeur shots! hahahah. actually not really hor... must have super super zoom if you wanna be a true voyeur! :)
but yeah..i'm still kinda undecided. i got till i go back home to decide anyway. so no hurry. got 8 more days!!! i haven't really looked at the sony ones yet, but yuchun recommends the DSC-P100? or something like that...I'll look for the proper links later.

for those who are interested, dpreview is a pretty good site for digital camera reviews and stuff. got a couple of reviews...specs and side-by-side comparison. pretty good.

enuf about that... i'm feeling pretty sore now. kendo is getting fricking tiring nowadays. i really need to build up my stamina.... i'm pretty much KOed 5 minutes into the lesson. For practice we did 1 minute rounds full on attack. non-stop. it doesn't sound very bad...come on, just 1 minute. but fuck....damn sick, especially since i'm not used to it yet. my stomach was cramping by the end of 2 rounds. throat sore too...have to bloody kiai all the way... haihss

Now i can really imagine how tiring a 3 round 3 minute kickboxing match can be. its probably what i just went through....times 20

blehh...damn hungry after that too. at least i discovered a place in Campsie which was open after 9pm. kebabs!!! yummmy.... makes me miss Intersection Cafe in Melbourne....love their chicken souvlakis (greek kebabs) :)~~~~

it was raining on and off the whole day. lucky i didn't have to get out of the office today. stayed inside where its nice and dry. it was raining in the morning as well! lucky it stopped by the time i got on the bus to get to work. didn't have to walk in the rain after that...still got a little muddy though :p

nothin much else to say at the moment... startin to feel kinda sleepy after taking a hot shower. doing nothin but watchin anime since i got back home. usual lah :p my activities consist of food, anime and kendo. need to expand on that soon. i'm intending to join a gym after kl (and also after I get a car) but unless I get a new job, or OT a lot more... don't think I can afford it. Hmmmm. I guess I should try working double jobs like Jacq... but then that will leave less time for other stuff. Urgghh. Opportunity costs. Mannn...wish that Accenture job would just come true. Being left hanging really sucks.

9 more days b4 I hit KL!!

its a nice day to stay home today... weather looks really gloomy. love it! its not too cold...and theres a nice breeze blowing :)

didn't bother doing laundry today..since it looks like its gonna pour...but just vacummed the house...and cleaned up my desk. so dusty! and the insides of my mouse were caked with dust too! so much dust that the buttons didn't work anymore. i was thinking what the hell was wrong with the mouse this morning, cuz the left button didn't work. so i though i was gonna have to buy a new mouse. but its good as new after i cleaned it up! ^_^ it's a pretty good mouse...it didn't have any problems until this morning...which is kinda amazing seeing how much dust and dirt was inside :p

kinda tiring...spent about 2 1/2 hours cleaning up the place. my desk is so empty now :) filed all my paperwork and stuff. heheh

--- laterz ---

*strreetcchhhh* just woke up from a nice afternoon nap. feel so tired now. hahahah. should be feeling refreshed instead :p i'm hungry now actually... i was hoping I wouldn't have to eat dinner today. guess i can't last more than 6 hours without food. had siu yuk for lunch today :) and I was just talking to Tan about how I should cut down on my fatty food consumption :p

i'm conflicted about which digital camera I want to get. I'll probably go with either a Sony or Canon. Limiting my choices abit... too much to pick from. I'm supposed to be able to get a Canon cheaper by going through Wilson's sister's friend, who can get cameras at staff pricing. They've obviously got nice cameras...but I don't like the fact that you can only record 3 mins worth of video max. that sux. Sony cameras can do unlimited length vids (space permitting obviously).
Apart from that...I suppose most of the features are equivalent to me. I don't know much about cameras or photography anyway.

The only other feature I'm considering is optical zoom. Should I get one with or without? Digital zoom seems kinda worthless imo, since its just enlarging & cropping the picture in the camera. If I want optical zoom, I'll probably go for the IXUS 500 . If not, then its the IXUS i5. I like the blue one.

gonna have to cook din now...stomach growling.

hello blog! it was an early night yesteryday. was suppose to go down city...have dinner and then watch "Shaun of the dead" - a romantic comedy. with zombies!! so cool!! we were actually thinking about this idea relatively recently too...with all the shows like "Dawn of the dead", "House of a 1000 corpses". it's only a matter of time :p

but annnyywayy... plans were cancelled thanks to a certain someone (hint: THOS! :p) He was so dead the whole night. why? because he was playing drinking games with his colleagues at work. how much did he drink? apparently...just a glass of beer :p wuss! kla...give him some credit. TWO glasses of beer :p anyway... he was so out of it that he couldn't eat his dinner *SHOCK*... and dinner was baked pork chop with cheese *SHOCK SHOCK!* what is the world coming too?! hahahaha

being the nice ppl that we (fatty and me) are, we cancelled the movie and went back to Thos place. crashed there for the night... Thos regenerated after sleeping it off...and then ordered a large super greasy pizza and some ribs for supper/dinner :)

and today? didn't do much... lamed around and played video games...then they came to my kumdo training and watched me put on my armour and woop kendoka ass :) welll... at least i WISHED i could woop ass :p

actually...i'm gonna stop blogging now...haven't had a shower since yesterday *sniff sniff* i'm still fresh!! hahahah..even after kendo :p

just a quick one to reply Joyce's comment.... 38 degrees is NOT good girl! :p it's wayyyy too hot. your essay must be getting to ya :p oh! move to sydney!!! come come!! i'm looking for a housemate for the next time I move :)

--- more later, contemplating on skipping kendo tonight ---

skipped kendo :p but at least i spent the night browing some kendo forum :) and inspecting my bogu. the gold doesn't look so bad now...the sides are black...and theres a black gradient (is that correct?) horizontally across the armour. its pretty slick actually. the armour sorts of changes colour when you look at it from different angles. i'd still prefer a different colour though. gold just feels so...soo.... so cheap :p

but anyway, i'm sorta satisfied with the rest of the armour. it looks pretty awesome in my opinion...although i wouldn't know a good from bad :p Theres some engraving in katakana on the men (helmet) too. It reads:

Shi (or tsu) yu ra ru mi so

no idea what it means though...but i think i got the romanji correct. Thos...translate!

meh...too hot.... can't blog....

it hit 38 degrees today.. fricking hot!!! and its spose to be worse tomorrow. not looking forward to it.

went for kendo class earlier, and i finally got my armour!!!! after how many times that i've been saying i'll be getting my armour 'tomorrow' :p it looks alright, i brought it home with me to examine it in more detail..but i'm feeling really really tired now, and hungry (although i just finished a pack of indo mee, downed it in less than 30 seconds)

its really tough wearing the armour. your vision becomes limited...and its worse cuz i wear glasses. it goes abit out of alignment and everything looks funny. and you can't even adjust it after you put the helmet on. holding the shinai with the gloves is also pretty hard. i don't have a good grip yet...so its hard to swing the sword properly. makes it hard to aim as well...especially with my distorted vision. all in all..its alot tougher wearing the armour. hope i get used to it soon. practice wasn't very tough today...but i felt extra tired after it. and i only just took a week off kendo...sheeshh

only one thing i don't like about my armour...the chest plate is gold!! yucksss!!! and after i specifically told sensei i wanted the red one. actually...i think he gave me the wrong bag cuz theres a 'Kirby' written on the bag's name tag, but i think its too late to change liao. maybe i can swap the armour ?? o_O

better head off to bed...dead tired.

i got my PR!! yayyy!! and after all that bitching i did too :p and it was actually granted on Friday too... so all that weekend grief was for nothing... doh! and thos was wrong as well. i can get the visa in my passport once i get the letter from Adelaide Skilled. I just bring it to immigration, and it gets done on that day. goodie!

had KFC for dinner as well...and a 100 Plus that I paued from Yen :) Shes got plenty left at her place. All from that Malaysia Fest thingie that she helped organised. I'm gonna pau a box from her. Hahahaha.

nothing much else to mention now... spent the night watching anime. and its starting to get warm in the house. not really looking forward to summer.... except for the girls in skimpy clothing part :)

2 more weeks till i'm back in KL!

i just realised i picked up a new bad habit. i like snapping my elbows now. No...not breaking my arm in half :p . i fully extend my arm by throwing a quick punch, then the elbows will make that popping noise. i think i've been doing it pretty unconciously, until thos said that its really bad for the elbows. u'r not suppose to extend the arm fully, gotta tense the muscles and stop the arm b4 it extends fully and 'snaps' the elbow. can't describe it really well. but neway, b4 that i never noticed how many times i snapped my hands. now each time i do it.. i'm like "shit! not suppose to do that". i've already done it 4-5 times since the day started. gotta get rid of this habit. my knees & back are already fucked. i'm so gonna be suffering when i'm older...don't need to add my elbows to the equation.

i'm feeling really sleep now. just had roast duck on rice for dinner. nice and fatty! hahahah. and the tv in the restaurant was showing this program called "You are what you eat". talks about obesity, unhealthy food, blah blah..that kinda stuff. they also showed how much this family of fat people ate. 2 fat parents and 3 fat kids getting there as well. oh wait... its not a family of fat people...its a family of OBESE people. sick... and there i was, watching the program...and happily eating duck skin that was actually still dripping with oil...ooooooo. duck fat is the best!!

hmmmm....i guess i really should slow down my consumption of fatty foods. i don't do enough exercise to counter my input :p i'm gonna end up like the people i hate eventually...eeewww. Actually...i'll start dieting after i come back from kl. hahahahah. no point going back home if i'm not gonna pig out :) food in malaysia still the best!

another lazy weekend. spent saturday at Tho's place playing PS2. Viewtiful Joe is a fun game. Corny plot and dialogue...but at least its on purpose. but its a pretty slick game. the graphics are crappy...in a good way. and the character's moves are quite stylistic. its just fun :p i'm too lazy to make this a game review blog...so go look it up yourself if u'r interested.

thats what i did for most of the day...oh! also watched thos's K-1 (or K1) DVD... kickboxing tourney finals in Japan. its pretty good. a thai guy won it..Bua Kow... or something like that. and then we went to have thai food later at night. hahahah. purely coincidence :p i felt like eating pud thai. we went to the same place where we had lunch with Tan last week. its good! must remember the name next time. 'roy san' or something like that. neway.. its the one after 'In Chan Thai' in Kensington (for NSWers who are interested :p). I was also flipping between Die Hard 2 and Mummy Returns on the the TV at night....aihs... i want a TV too!!!!

crashed at his place...cuz the fool was too lazy to send me back already. biatch! neway...nex mornin (which means this mornin :p), went down to La Perouse to eat breakfast. nice place. good for retired ppl :p had fish & chips...then walked around the area abit. whyy am i doing this kind of stuff with him and not some hot chick?!!??! aihsss... actually, that was tho's line but the feeling is mutual :p

neway...his car died on the way back. welll...it didn't really die... but a warning indicator switched on. the symbol that looks like an engine in the car's display. FYI, that light means that theres something wrong with then engine. so you should get your car checked or serviced. if it's blinking, means u'r already in the shits and you should get a mechanic asap. i just googled this stuff online...so don't quote me :p but it should be right.

---- to be continued, maybe ----

well...i didn't get sick today, which means the 'pei tan' smelling chicken isn't spoilt. either that or i got a strong stomach. i still ditched work today. just felt too lazy to get up this morning. i can be so irresponsible... i think i'm the only person among my frens that 'pontengs' work just because i don't feel like going.

i did wake up fine...was pretty wide awake at 6 in the morning. but i lolled around in bed contemplating whether i shuold skip work. the feeling of my warm bed won in the end :p

i didn't do jack shit today either... morning was just watching some anime... and reading a manga on the computer (and one that i've read before too :p) and then I slept the wholeeeee afternoon away. gawd... i'm lazy. I've been like that the whole week. Sleep alot. Even though I wasn't feeling well in the beginning of the week... but I think the inactivity is getting to me. I haven't even gone for my kendo lessons this week.

i just came back from watching anaconda with thos & sin cie. didn't do anything else... just went down city.. watch the movie... and ciaoed. the movie wasn't great, but i wasn't expecting anything anyway. wish we watched shark tales instead.

and something kinda pissed me off tonight! sin cie got her PR. wtf man !??! i think she applied 1 month later than me too. ma hai!!! i am SOOOOO not satisfied. i mean...i should be glad that she got her PR and everything, since she seems to complain bloody alot about her job and everything. but fuck that! i need to get back home at the end of the month. and Thos was saying its almost impossible even if I get the PR. cuz it takes 10 working days for them to process even after they approve. and thats roughly the amount of time i have left.

this kind of stuff really pisses me off. i really hate having to rely on others like this. have so many problems like this last time....i don't even want to mention them here. its just gonna piss me off even more if i think about it. my motto as alwez kinda been 'if you want things done right, do it yourself'. but in situations like this...you can't do jack shit. you can't even tell off the case officer...else they'll just leave your application to gather dust...or just stamp it "Reject". ma hai... at least when I deal with supplier's at work...i can give them hell if they screw up and then they'll get the job done. arrgghhhh.

enuf bitching. blogging about this is only making me more pissed. gonna drown myself in alcohol. I just made myself a 'cranberry comfort'. Southern Comfort + Cranberry Juice. quite nice... dunno if its an actual cocktail name.... but doesn't matter.

i've got 2 reasons as to why i might get really sick tomorrow.

One...i cooked curry for dinner tonight, and i'm a 100% well yet. might be a little too much 'heati-ness' for my body to take.

Two...I cooked curry with possibly spoilt chicken o_O the chicken doesn't really smell sour...but it didn't smell very fresh. the smell was kinda like a century egg. hmmmm. at any rate, i'll find out by tomorrow if i'm gonna get poisoning... or maybe later tonight.

i had kendo class tonight....but i skipped it. aihs. anime can be a curse sometimes. i did take a fair while to cook. about an hour plus to prepare & cook everything. then i sat in front of the computer eating...and watched a new anime i downloaded. watch, eat, watch, finish eating, kept on watching...untill it was too late to go for class liao :p

really should have gone though. need the exercise. and my armour should be there already. plus i think theres no class this saturday as well. oh well. its time like this i wish i had a car...or a bike. would have made it to class no problems... sux having to wait for buses.

mann...eating kfc yesterday wasn't a good idea. woke up this morning with a bit of a sore throat. felt so dry. at least it didn't get any worse during the day. i drank lots and lots of water... as a result i went to the toilet every 1/2 hour as well. aihss. rather irritating.

i've been feeling buggered since monday. alwez feel quite dead by the afternoon. need to take panadol to keep going. i probably need a full day's rest or something. and rest probaby equals not being in front of the com :p aihss.. i need a tv... and a couch... and a new chair... and a new bed too (the frame broke a while ago) sighhhh

i really feel like sleeping now...but if i sleep now (its only 7pm) i'll wake up in the middle of the night with nothing to do. and i'll feel even more tired if i keep sleeping. mann...needing to work is inconvenient. you need to keep to regular sleeping habits. bah!

my statistics been tracking more ppl coming into my blog looking for FREE caseycam videos :p hahhahaha. stingy perverts :) just for fun... i tried to google up my site using variations of caseycam as a query. couldn't get anything even remotely close to my site. these guys must be searching really really hard. hahahah. i even tried caseycam & pai kuat :) seeing as i blog about that frequently enough. nothing turned up. oh well. i guess i shouldn't mention the caseycam website so much in my blog... i'm just gonna attract more of those perves... oh wait. i already mentioned it a couple of times in this post. hahahah.

an early post tonight. don't think i'll be staying up for long tonight. haven't been feeling well the whole day. catching a fever. bleh. i don't think the KFC i had for dinner will help either :p hehehe. i know i shouldn't be eating that when i'm sick...but been craving for it since saturday. i wanted 2 pieces of thigh and drumstick... but the dumb 'wan ton' at the counter couldn't differentiate between thigh and breast meat... ishh! the grease is all in the thigh man!! thats the good stuff! :)

skipping kendo tonight...wouldn't be able to last long in class...and sensei doesn't let students leave halfway. aihs. so might as well skip the whole thing.

well.. today's a work day...so nothing noteworthy to blog about. i did call up my accenture recruiter b4 i left work. Turns out i might not be able to get a consulting position in Sydney... apparently most of the positions have been filled. sydney recruitment is more on the ATS side...so i can only hope for the best, since he will only know for sure by the end of the week. or work somewhere else... like Canberra (nOoooooooo!)

newayz... see how it goes

thos came back this morn... so had lunch with him and Tan (+ cousins) today. Had Thai food. The fried rice quite tasty...alot of seasoning and oil :) yumm! Tan went somewhere else with his cousins for abit so me & Thos drove around...and ended up going back to his place to play games. KOF in 3D!!! it looks pretty good. naturally...the first character i picked was Mai :) hahaha. Thos did the same thing too...so its not just me :p

Neway...we went to Tan's cousin's place after that and watched 'Pumping Iron'. It's an Arnie documentary...full of men who like like the can bend me in half... muscles bigger than my head. sick. tan wanted to watch tho's championship fight...but the dvd was abit fucked..so too bad.

oh yeahhh! must also report tho's bad driving. hehehe. mati engine twice while trying to reverse. and also scraped his $3K rims on the curb... painnnn

nothing much else to blog about... i wanted to bitch about something earlier...but can't be stuffed now...and lazy too :p aih...back to work tomorrow. oh yeah..in case u weren't aware... its labour day in sydney today. so i got a day off... not skip work :p

today was a nice day. rather relaxing.... but also tiring for some reason. its interesting how i can get tired from doing nothing the whole day :)

i went to bake myself at bondi beach today. the weather was pretty excellent! sunshine for most of the day. it takes kinda long to get to bondi from my place though... going there took an hour. coming back was about 45 minutes. cuz of the train's route.

there was damn alot of ppl at bondi today. everyone out to catch some sun. i think i tanned myself too! hehehe. or mebbe not. i only spent about an hour exposing myself to skin cancer. after that the weather wasn't as good. cloud cover blocked out the sun every 5 minutes... and it got kinda chilly without the sun out. after that i just walked the whole bondi stretch and ciaoed. crazy man... i don't understand how ppl can swim in the water. it was bloody freezing.

the travelling was kinda tiring...but all in all i enjoyed being by myself today. its not as bad as it sounds :p i napped...read a magazine and admired the walking scenery :) naturally...i parked myself next to a group of pretty japanese chicks. hahahaha :p

i spent the wholeeeeee day watching X (anime :p) finished the whole series. and then i was planning to nap after that...but then fatty was bitching me to go down to the city... what a DC man... he alwez tells me off for making last minute plans. everytime go out..must tell him 1-2 days in advance. and he calls me when he is down in the city, expecting me to go out.... nyaabehh. i felt sorry for him and went down anyway :p had sushi for dinner... and then watched AVP.

AVP was err... dunno what to say la. I didn't really mind watching it, but i guess it wasn't that great. theres a good public message in it though. You should smoke till your lungs are black... and then predators won't bother killing you :p i found that part rather amusing

its an early night tonight.. nothing else to do so just came back home right after the movies. i've started drinking gin & tonic at home now :) gonna finish up my bombay...and pau another one from duty free when i come back from KL (if i ever get to leave this stupid country...)

today is saturday. today is supposedly my dojo's 10th annual competition. today i woke up early to go and help prepare for the competition. today, i got to burwood and discovered the dojo was deserted. today, i came to the conclusion that i got the competition date wrong :p

aihs..having a sensei that can't speak english well is tough. well.. i don't really mind that i wasted my trip to burwood today. just kinda disappointed that there wasn't anything going on. i was really looking forward to watching the competition. ah well. now i'm at a loss as to what i'm gonna do today. the weather is looking up now... i love this kind of weather. it rained last night and was still drizzling a little this morning, but it seems to have stopped now. its very cool outside. just nice weather! especially if you stand in the sun.

blog more later...if i actually get around to doing something today :p

too tired too blog much tonight. went out for dinner at Big John's with Tan and his cousins. DAMMNNN huge portions. I think the T-bone steak was as thick as my arms and bigger than my hands.... sick. and we get a huge bowl of mushroom sauce with it as well. shioks! wouldn't mind going there again...but pretty far.

apart from that...i'm noticing that theres ppl trying to find FREE caseycam nudes via my blog :p hahahah. the power of trackers! cheapass perverts :)
