Hello from Down Under!!
Just to say i landed in one piece, to the cold windy aussie winter. it was pretty cold, cuz i had to wait outdoors to find the driver my bro arranged for.. but i packed my coat in the hand carry, so managed to put it on. kesian other ppl who were standing outdoors in shorts and flipflops. to make things worse, i was dam starving, cuz only had one REAL meal on the airplane. and my bro didnt have any real food to eat. had to make do with 2month old bread + nuttella. apparently if u really freeze the bread, it can tahan, and gets soft in the toaster haha.

Currently..... waiting for him to finish his last paper. 2 more hours i think. prob go shop abit later cuz seriously, the only food he has now is like.. a 2litre bottle of ketchup which he bought on sale. give me some real food please.

Anyway. not sure if ill be blogging after this. GoldCoast on Monday till Thursday, then straight to Sydney until Saturday (apparently there's nuttin to do in sydney) then back to Melb.

Till the next time....

Firstly, Happy Fathers Day to all the daddies out there.
You is too awesome.
Went out for dinner at our club house with my family and my dad's brothers + family. They were hosting some karaoke contest along with dinner, and there were only 4 tables eating.. so naturally no one signed up. after being persuaded by the event manager, somehow my mommy was signed up to go sing.. the one and only contestant.. obviously she won uncontested.. lmao.

Went out for dinner with the alevels gang last night, only to God knows where. was pretty good and relatively cheap. Back to tracy's place and all headed to ss15 for drinks and shisha. dropped the girls back home and crashed.

Finally finished all my packing!! Took me forever to buy all teh stuff Satish wanted, and i forgot that you cant carry liquids in hand luggage, so had to repack it all. room is still dam freaking messy. normal...

Excited to go face swine flu head on. kidding... but whats the big fuss about anyway? the common cold kills like half a million people every year (develops from a cold, to phnemonia and stuff. did u know that? i bet not.) and you're more likely to die from an accident. people! take a chill pill. even in the hospital, people were wearing all the masks and kept using the hand sanitizers and stuff... since everyone keeps bitchin about it, ill self quarentine myself when i get back, just so ppl will stop complaining.

anyways. Good Luck to everyone tonight for their results!!!!! Don't stress over it. im sure everyone did fine lah hehe. see you guys when im back! lemme know if u guys want specif stuff la. my bag should be underweight (dependin on level of shopping)

Been catching up on a crap load of movies this/last week.
So far so good.

The International

Found it kinda boring. Too much talking scenes, but Clive Owen is still yummmmm

Boy in the Striped Pajamas

I liked this alot. About a boy who becomes friends with another Jewish boy, but never realizes that the Jewish boy is in a concentration camp about to die. Ending was super sad.

Rachel Getting Married

Fan of Anne Hathaway. More of a serious drama. Pretty good.

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

i really really really liked this haha. its one of those quirky movies. Very very Juno-like (same actor)

New in Town

Nothing fantastic, just a typical romantic comedy lah.

Last Chance Harvey

Pretty decent. About how an old man finds his love, and trying to win back his daughter. normal-ish i guess.

Revolutionary Road

hmmmm.. pretty serious drama.. havent seen The Reader though. She was pretty good here, involved alot of smoking haha. worth watching if you like serious drama.

Confessions of a Shopaholic

Not too bad. Isla Fisher is cool :)

Bride Wars

Another typical romantic comedy type movie. Decent overall.

Defiance

I really really liked this too. Its about a group of brothers who hide Jewish ppl in the forest during WWII. worth watching :)

Went for bowling in pyramid with the usual ppl. Jeat didnt have his winning streak anymore. Tried that new KFC spicy something something flavor. Hmmm not that nice, prefer the older version. has this weird herby taste.

Andddd Popeyes is opening in Malaysia (In pyramid too) Im excited. Dad would be even more excited. We used to eat Popeyes chicken every week when we lived in Korea. I Loves!!

Wonder waht new fastfood chain will come next... IHOP (keep dreamin aizad. it wont taste as good).. applebees... chucky cheese?.. im betting on TacoBell.. maybe White Castle will make another return (they used to have it in Klang, like 15 years ago).. or Round Table Pizza! (freaking awesome pizza!)

and now im gonna order Dominos :)

Recent happenings....

Flew a kite to the end of the string. was exciting.
Shopping shopping and more shopping.
Manicured and pedicure with inez earlier at pyramid.
Settled visa banking shit.
Dinner with the guys + inez.

Visiting a cemetery for the first time too! exciting. Yes. ive never been to a cemetery. My chinese grandpa passed away when i was a baby, and in Indian culture, girls aren't allowed to the cremation area (in olden days, the wife of the deceased would jump into the fire). my grandfather and uncles urn was transported from KL cemetary to FairyPark in Klang. each cubicle to hold the urn sells for around.. 8k, so we calculated that if all the cubicles there were sold, they'd make a profit of RM37million.

makes me wanna join the funeral services industry.

Got a new laptop toy too. Dell baby. Dont ask what specs it has, i honestly couldnt care haha. brother chose for me. just told him that i wanted it to be a green/white laptop. settled.

Excited for my aussie trip next thursday. yaysss.... then plan is... melb most of the time, but taking a trip to Brisbaine, GoldCoast and Sydney. possibly going skiing later. Taking a trip to Bali in early Aug when i get back. im dreaming of coconuts and massages already.

Thats about it for now... still enjoying the peace at home... coupled with more cooking lessons... doing my driver routine... gyming and swimming... etc etc etc.

Recap of last week....
dont really recall exactly what we did.

Went to Murnis for dinner. And this toyota land cruiser club was gathering there, extra crowded, and got to see all the land cruisers do amazing things. ex: one guy droving his up to the shop doorstep, parking ontop of another, almost hitting customers, etc etc. was exciting.

not sure if u can see, the land cruiser right in the middle. everyone else was watching something exciting on the right.

Went over to Ngai Chuns house to stone. Played with his cutie doggy, saving aizad from her wet nose (you owe me) brought my monopoly, as requested by WJ. first out, jeat ofcourse. sorry weijeat, congrats to aizad who killed us all. more stoning, etc etc.

simpsons version ofcourse.

Our pizza/movie/drinks plan for thursday failed. tis okay.

Friday..... more failed plans.. helped mommie with her Line Dance Party at our club house. driving around the whole day picking stuff up, ordering things... was quite entertaining to watch 40-50 year old aunties trying to shake their ass to Flo Rida's "Low". lmao.




more or less how the week went. weekend was a blur, out with the family most of the time.
2 weeks plus till aussie trip? im excited. mostly excited about escaping the bloody heat here!!

Week3 of holidays!

Had a pretty good weekend overall. Reconstruction of my room should being shortly. Planning to get rid of all my shelves. tables. etc etc since wont be studying in my room anymore. 3rd year in UK. Doing the Bar in UK (thats the plan). so why would i need bookshelves + a study table?



Went to watch Night at the Museum 2 earlier with the usual law people at Pyramid. went to Sakae Sushi for their 3pm-6 buffet. had to split tables since buffet + ala carte customers not allowed to sit together? lets just say, SakaeSushi severely lost profits from us haha. involving sneaking plates of sushi between the tables. serves them right for over ordering! the stack of plates in the end, was higher than our heads. missing their dark chocolate ice cream now. green tea is gross.

Overall, i thought the movie was below/average only. some jokes were funny. the first half was just annoying. the ending was better. but i really enjoyed how they incorporated real historical stuff. like, the art paintings.. darth vadar (having asthma? lmao!).. oscar the grouch.. my fav was still the huge red balloon dog. super cute!!

another day of being unable to control my shopping spree!! bought a plaid scarf from TopShop. after being succesfully persuaded to buy it, sorry pris, your attempts failed to stop me haha. managed to justify myself hehe. yays?
