Laziest mode since arrival in Melbourne

I don't think I've ever been so lazy in Melbourne before. In KL, yes, it's a normal thing but here, nope.

I have no idea what's going on in my lectures. Compared to my first semester here, I am better control of everything back then. Right now, as for my second semester? Hmm?

Anwyays, as my title speaks, I am currently too lazy to write about my snowboarding trip as well. Maybe later. Here's a picture of my leather boots just for Elaine who requested. haha !


Looking dorky and a little bit of winter wear for you.

Oh, and I stocked up on happy drugs too.

Hmm, I can't seem to upload this picture right. I have already rotated it via Microsoft Office Picture Manager but it appears vertical everytime I upload it on blogspot. Strange.

After Yoga

Reading back the two previous posts makes me feel weird. That had all happened previously this afternoon but it doesn't even matter now.

jo said (10:52 PM):
i always ask myself if i get annoyed
if that thing will matter 3 years from now
and if it doesn't
i try not to get pissed too much tho i do fail a lot of times

Words of wisdom off Jo.

I love gym ! Leaving gym all sweaty makes me feel fresh. It takes away stress and makes me feel stronger. Yoga was relaxing and I even managed to complete a Body Pump class too, suprisingly (after all the aching body parts from snowboarding). And I know how I say loving gym and how it makes me feel stronger isn't really a good thing; its as though I'm making it sound like its replacing God. Yes, I know God should be the one taking away the stress, misery and weakness but.. I don't have an excuse for this. If I had one, it would just be a lame excuse. I've been working on this issue for ages now.. Hmm kay don't know what to say.

Anyways, I guess I was really frustrated this morning/afternoon perhaps due to exhaustion and having my head cluttered with too much negativity i.e. from the person I went with to the snow. I am going to have to rethink if hanging out with such a person is worth suffering for or not.

Lastly, thanks for the concern and care people, whether it was on facebook, msn, the telephone line or the cbox. I really appreciate it. Little things, yet again.

Will update on my snow trip and snowboarding experience next. After so much ranting, here's a little joy to add to my depressed blog.

WOW

AND WOW, THE RAIN JUST STOPPED.

-___________________________________-

it JUST had to rain so heavy immediately (no signs of drizzling or anything like that) 5 minutes ago and now the sky is so clear it's like it never happened.

my heavy jackets which were being dried outside are now wet. even I MYSELF am wet while rushing to bring in the four or five hangers of clothes outside. you can imagine how sudden and heavy the rain was.

am i being tested or something.

please, give me a break? ...

sarcasm overload

today is the best day ever:

1. washing machine screws up clothes and bed sheet.
2. was out of 1dollar coins in order to wash my clothes again due to the retarded washing machine
3. a housemate pretends she's not in when i'm knocking on her door just to ask if she has 1dollar coins to swap with me
4. clothes get wet by rain.
5. i have some of the most hypocrite two faced "friends" ever.

it seems like the beginning of my semesters in Australia always look like your toilet bowl after passing motion.

i know, very petty problems but you have no idea what i've been going through over the weekend and you know how people say its the little things that make things count, yeah, even the little petty things make life a lot more worst.

retarded, much.

I've Got A Feeling

Currently listening to "I've Got A Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas.

Well yeah, I've got a feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night, as well as a tiring one perhaps?

And I've got a feeling I'm gonna end up nearly freezing to death over the weekend.

Yes people, I'm heading to the snow ! The group is meeting at Melbourne Central at 1am but no idea what time we're departing for Falls Creek, which is said to be a 6 hour bus ride from Melbourne.

MAN>!?!

Well it'll be good fo me to sleep and yikyak with missy Sarah.

Ugh. Haven't packed a single thing for the trip but I'm intending to pack lots and lots of clothes ! I'm really scared of the cold.... And should I wear leather boots or my nike dunks to the snow ?

Okay gotta start packing. Heading to Sarah's in the city later for dinner and more packing.

Have a good weekend all.

P.S. : It's funny how I start wishing you guys a good weekend when it's only Thursday haha, but I find Friday the starting/dawn of the weekend so yeah, why not a longer weekend :)

Pathetically emotional

Have you ever felt this way?

Where you dont get to say what you feel about a certain something or express your feelings.

You want to say it, but get stuck, and thus is kept secretly in the heart..

Ugh.

Gay, much.

I hate feeling this way, so gay and weak. A weak point of being human. Where did my robot side go.

Anyway that will be all that has to do with the title of this post.

The rest would be about me being back in Melbourne. Yeah I cooked dinner today. I am quite sure I eat more greens in Australia than in Malaysia man. Quite sure. And it also hit me clearly that the reasons I don't cook or even think of cooking in Malaysia (except for instant noodles) and cook daily in Melbourne are

1. Why cook in Malaysia when food is so cheap?
2. Why go through the hassle of buying ingredients and washing up dishes when the price you pay for labour in Malaysia is nothing compared to here in Melbourne? You don't even have to compare to say its cheap.
3. Cooking in Melbourne keeps you warm in winter.
4. Cooking in Malaysia gets you all sticky and dirty.
5. Food always tastes better in Melbourne even if your cooking sucks and this is all due to the cold weather. For example, the thought of having toast and butter or cereal and milk or oatbananamilk NEVER came to mind while I was in Malaysia. It's all about the weather man. Or maybe it's because I never really got up in the morning in Malaysia haha.

****

I have a 9a.m. lecture tomorrow. I attended my first lecture for the semester today and it wasn't the most interesting class. So not in the mood to returning to student life... yet. It somehow feels as though I left my heart in Malaysia. Oh no. More gay talking. Shoot.

Anyways, a friend cheered me up with this:

derek

sleep well

remember 2morrow is aways a new day

what ever happened yesterday

has gone

and it stays in the pass

look forward for a brighter day

Hmm it doesn't sound as good as it did yesterday haha.

Anyway, I hope all is well with all you readers out there. Oh, and a couple of sneak peek pictures on my winter break over the past three weeks.

Dim Sum at Tai Thong Tropicana as the first breakfast. Heavennnn.

Suprisingly delicious noodles discovered by myself at Asia Cafe, the place where lots of memories come from as well as fun times over the two years of studying in KL.

Highschool friends who will never be replaced nor forgotten. Its awesome how we can still talk and hang out <3.
Polluted ss15, Subang. Haze at about 12noon.

And last but not least, Ipoh mates who are always there for me going around Ipoh on the hunt for food <3.

Ugh I should be writing all that in my next post i.e. Winter break. Too many spoilers.

Am looking forward to my lovely breakfast tomorrow as I enjoyed my usual Melbourne breakfast of cereal and milk this morning. Having milk here again is absolutely sensational.

Back in Melbourne

Hello all. I am back in Melbourne.

No cereals, no milk. I am absolutely lazy to do grocery shopping at the moment.

Am already missing a couple of people back in Malaysia.

Sigh.

Train ride to KL

Omg it's my first time taking a train to KL or to any where in Malaysia. I guess it's okay if you're travelling with friends or someone. There's like a whole bunch of CGMC people on the train hmmm.

Being on such a ride for about three hours and just watching the weeds and either industrial or suburbian areas pass by allows me to let all sorts of thoughts wander around in my mind, like

1) I'm leaving home again in six days. This time I am definitely feeling more heavy hearted to leave than my first time in February. But as I have mentioned in previous posts, I too am looking forward to living life in Melbourne. Strange.

2) I did hardcore facial several hours ago and my face is now all raw and swollen, not to mention how it is still kind of stinging around my cheeks. I currently look like crap (okay maybe I look like crap all the time but at the moment, it's extra crappier how's that?) and will be meeting up with some KL friends later. Man it sucks to look crappier when you're meeting up with people who haven't seen you for a year.

3) What else is going through mind? I think i'm gonna miss my family lots more this time as I'm leaving. There is a possibility I might even tear and succumb to emotions as I enter the departure hall, leaving behind my parents and siblings. Typing this is gayly making me emotional too -.- very odd.

4) I can greatly see the difference between first world countries and third world ones while taking this train to KL instead of my usual cab rides. Hahaha.

5) I should have made a greater effort to meeting up with Ipoh friends. Like how I realized how much fun I had yacking away with originally Ipoh people; Stephano of Singapore now, Sze Haw of KL now and Abel being the last straw in Ipoh. We were at none other than Kopitiam, which was full house on a Saturday night and made me realize that Ipoh actually has a lot of people lol. And not just people but pretty cool people(not those ah bengs or feng taus please).

6) As excited as I am to reunite with old KL uni mates and close friends I haven't seen for some time, I am feeling lazy at the same time. What's with all the dual emotions you ask. My reply to you can only be no idea.

Right. This is one of the longest posts I've ever written using my iPod.

2.5hours to go. Nap time.

Of Funny Mountain Soya Bean and Black Jelly

By now all of you should know about MJ's death.

Anyway I was in town today and bought bottles of soya bean and black jelly drink from none other than Funny Mountain stall. Not to forget tau foo fah.

And I was reminded how the name of the drink Michael Jackson came about from mixing soya bean and black jelly together. I only heard about it first during pre-university days in Sunway. And I didn't believe you could actually order the drink by telling the waiter "One Michael Jackson ice" and thought it was some lame joke my friend was making up but he proved me wrong.

Random.

Anyways, someone is finally back !

Can't wait to meet up with friends finallyyyy. Not to mention KL in a couple of days. But as those days draw nearer, it also means my departure for Australia creeps in slowly as well. Its not that I resent going back to Australia, I'm actually kinda looking forward to going back but now that I'm getting comfortable at home, I don't really feel like leaving at the same time.

Why is change constant in life?

To expand one's growth.

WTF SOUNDS LIKE MY ENGLISH LESSON BACK IN MUFY DAYS HAHAHA.

Lavish at Docklands

Yeah a very late post I owe to lil ol vodkacolafreak. *barfs

This was back in June? A couple of weeks before the finals and the girls decided to have one more night out at Lavish somewhere at Docklands before nerding it out. I like how the outdoor section of this place is by the Docklands harbour (? is that what you call it) as it overlooks the skyline and some pretty lights which are reflected in the water.

Pretty much like this !

Squirrel hat ! All the way from Korea from Mr. Jin Hee ParK!

Manda !

Sarah hahah it looks as though she's pinching Jin Hee's nose


On the way back to Sarah's crib after bah kuh teh and late night supper.

Foggy night in Melbourne City.

Aww Odie loves me

Korean with tiny eyes.

Sleeping kimchi.

Morning morning ! And what's Odie sniffing -.-

****
Eating out in Malaysia isn't helping me maintain a proper diet at all. Not to say I'm on diet that way (I'm no where close to being on diet), its just that the food I consume in Melbourne is so much more healthier? Like I eat an apple daily in Melbourne but since I got back to Malaysia I only had two -__-

Not to mention the 7 different cakes I had already hahahah. What would I do without butter and cream?

Anyways, I'll be in KL next week ! My mom actually allowed me to have a few short days catching up with friends from Ipoh who are now in KL and other KL friends too. There's no one in Ipoh nowadays except family.

Ipoh, Ipoh..

Update in Ipoh

Hello fatties.

So I've been a lazy sloth at home.

Okay this entry is a failure. Kinda lost the enthusiasm to update. Maybe its because I have nothing to write about but heck, its my first time back home from studying overseas. I should have something to write about, shouldn't I?

Well, other than the fact that I am rather suprised on how I gained 4kg from living in Australia for about 5months, I don't have anything to say for now. Being weighed over a certain number of kilograms feels weird cause I've never been so heavy in my life. Its also the first time I am not underweight -___-

It's a good thing I guess. But I'm not used to it. I miss being underweight *GAY. And my great mom keeps on rubbing in how fat I've become so that's not helping either.

What else can I say? It's good to be home that's for sure, and I've been eating lots of durians ! Durian cake that Lena's mom makes is sinful.

And been drowning in bubble milk tea too. So freaking cheap here compared to Melbourne.

Ipoh price = RM2.50
Melbourne price = AUD4.50 = more than RM10



Yay for bubble tea !
