Just a short update of what have happened and what’s going to happen
Fetched Emily successfully yesterday, started the journey at 4.48am and reached the airport by 7am. Returned back to the city at 11am. Then we were waiting at home for the visits by the rest like YinShia and LeeChien, went out for a ride of City Circle tram then. No collection of how the ride was as I fell asleep... After that, went back to my place and took a nap, I took a sleep though (accidentally), my phone didn’t ring (claimed by me) and I wasn’t awaked until 8pm!!! So, feeling guilty, I brought Emily for a short walk at ChinaTown and we went off to visit the rest as she hadn’t seen their apartments. Details of their houses I will update next time... Returned home again at 11.30pm, had supper, then went online checking for public transport schedule. Hope Malaysia has this system too!!! It’s a system known as Journey Planner which allows you to look for directions from one place to another using public transport, with specific times and days, very convenient huh.
And for today, we will be having buffet at 11.30am (AUD20!!!) near Crown the casino, think we will pay a visit to the casino after the buffet (if we do not vomit after excessive eating!). And for the rest of the day, nothing has been planned but Direct Factory Outlet (DFO) might be visited (depending on the time) and maybe a walk along Yarra River.
That’s all, will try to take a lot of pictures today (didn’t manage to take many yesterday, was totally exhausted!!). See ya

short update
It seems that saving every single penny doesn’t bring big difference to our life.
So, to make a difference, I should stop being thrifty and try whatever I feel like trying.
For example, don’t sit at mamak stalls thinking whether to try their nasi lemak, it’s DUMB, especially now you find that a plate of NASI LEMAK worth around $9 here. WTF
Or plan for the whole year whether to visit AQUARIA, KL when I myself know it’s a nice place to go to. WT... Again...
I think I got hooked up with this WTF stuff and it’s not good, better kick the habit fast, just like how pointing middle finger is indecent, although practically I only do this to one person (I mean in front, at the back? COUNTLESS).
And ya, heard of a lot of people being very superstitious? Like if I wear red shirt today, it will surely rain? I am superstitious too, I can’t support teams/athletes that I like. For example, watch S.Korea match and they lost. And just now, Brazil pulak...
Remember in the last post I mentioned I would google “How to make a Snowman?”, I did!!! And you know there’s this thing called autocomplete? When I typed how to make a sn, it came out snowman. So, what does this mean? It means a lot of people like googling this kind of nonchalant stuff too!!! Not me only, kekeke. Never underestimate the power of INTERNET
That’s all for this quick update
PS: Was watching TV just now and switched to this talk show called “late night show with David Letterman” and found out that TAYLOR LAUTNER is only 18, WTFFFF again... If you have no idea who he is, he’s acting as Jacob in the movie TWILIGHT. Wanting to watch Twilight- Eclipse and Toy Story 3 so muchhh. :)

2/7
Yay, finally did my laundry!!!
Went to a Japanese eatery today, nice food, cheap at the same time. Thanks for the invitation, YinShia, haha. Will be posting the picture of the food I had today, one pic only T_T. But still it’s a great experience.
Getting more and more nervous these days! As there will be people visiting us soon!!! Starting from tomorrow, can’t deny that I miss them quite much as well. So, the nervousness started when I was looking for transport to travel to the airport. And so the rest who are supposed to fetch our friends from the airport are waiting to see if I manage to reach the airport using only public transport and of course walking. So everything went quite well, told my friend not to check out from the airport so soon as the earliest schedule started from 8 to 9am but she’s arriving at 8am. And again, if life is so predictable, it’s no longer fun. When we were talking about this going to the airport by public transport bravo act, our senior said that he never heard of such thing before. And based on my experience, when your senior says something like that, it would be better to believe them!!! So, maybe I am going to bring money and prepare to hail a cab if I get lost on Sunday! Hope my sense of direction can play its part on Sunday, finger crossed.
Saw Siew Fong and Zhi Xian’s photos of their ski trip, AWESOME!!! Since this is their first time seeing snow (I guess so), it must had been a wonderful experience for them. And seeing them wearing those thick clothes is worrying me, as I suppose I still need some other winter equipment such as winter hat which I currently have none T_T. And maybe other things like sunblock (since we are going to the mountains, guess we will be closer to the SUN?). Anyway, I should be mentally prepared that its gonna burn a hole in my pocket buying all these things. I think I didn’t find pictures of them making THE SNOWMAN, which is one of my main aims of visiting there! Since they didn’t make any, guess I can’t consult them on how to build one, so it’s going to be GOOGLE time again, as to me, you can find answers for most of your daily life questions using either Google (English) or Baidu (Mandarin). Well I know that “how to build a snowman” will not be categorised under daily life questions, but I think it’s still worth trying to search. One more thing is I’m still searching for shops that sell syrups! Think I’m going to bring at least of these flavourings when I visit the snow mountain, to make my own “ice-kacang”. Call me dumb, call me stupid, but you can’t stop a guy from achieving his dreams!
Next, my Japanese results came out this morning. Got a mark which is lower than how much that I expected, but still it’s acceptable. Haha. Anyway, I’ll be looking forward for chances to further study Japanese, it’s fun learning about the language and culture after all!!! (Think I’ve had too many exclamation marks!!!!!) Today onwards, the grading for other subjects may be announced too, freaking nervous about it... Guess the results for introductory microeconomics is the one that everyone will be wanting to know soon, but at the same time, afraid that the results may turn out not so good...
Fine, done with the results, continue to the next topic which I’ve always forgotten to discuss. Luckily I purposely wrote it down before composing the post. This is about one thing that I really hate, ERRORS! Whenever I check the posts I’ve updated, there’s always so many errors!!! Wonder how on earth did I make those mistakes, like adding ‘ed after can?! WTF. Done
And so, the last issue that I wanna talk about today. Has it occurred to you that you are talking to a friend which you haven’t had conversation for quite some time, and the person was saying something like “oh, luckily I didn’t do this, I didn’t do that” and those “this” and “that” are actually WHAT YOU ARE DOING NOW!!!??? Again, it’s my WTF moment!!! Just to emphasise, no matter what decisions I’ve made, regarding going to INTI, getting JPA and even selecting my current UNI (which I really love), I’m not at all regretted with all those decisions. Albeit you may say that my current life is pitiful with insufficient money (plainly because I’ve problems managing my money) or other reasons, I enjoy the life that I’m leading. After I pull through, I’m sure I will be more successful in my future life!
That’s all for TODAY, take care people
PS: I’m updating earlier today, guess it’s the power of Food that gives me strength!!!

Random
Why I continue to blog?
One obvious reason is surely because it’s fun
You get to record how your daily life goes
While the other big reason is you can say whatever you want here
Essentially, not ALL, but most of them
You can force nobody to view your blog, and those who actually look at it
They are here to see what you write
Absolutely voluntary
Sometimes I wonder
What are you planning to get from viewing my blog?
Maybe it will be an unresolved mystery for me
Keep it to yourself if you want
Hope it’s not some bad reasons
For me, viewing people’s blog updates me with their life
Alerts me to console them whenever something bad happens
Allows me to cheer for them when they are facing obstacles
Allows me to congratulate them when something good happens
Enables me to learn the life of some beings whose life is different from mine
Reduces the time I spend on Facebook (maybe)
I know I’m talking rubbish again... Wonder how am I going to kick this habit?
Never, talking rubbish is my forte, it won’t me anymore If I don’t talk rubbish!!!
Long long time ago, whenever I said maybe I should change myself, be it more positive or negative, I’ve friends who said you don’t have to change, because the current “you” is the real “you”, I know its applicable for both “you” and “Eeu”, haha (talking rubbish again).
Those friends I will treasure forever, no matter what happens. Sometimes I hope we can all sail the same boat, so that we can fight through the currents, so that we can witness the dawn together, so that we can pour our love to the sea together... Distance will not bring our hearts apart
Anyone noticed I always write at night? To be more accurate, midnight? Yes, it’s when my brain cools down. And many unforgettable events also happened at night, guess it’s good to be nocturnal
Btw, I mentioned something about reducing time on Facebook, just saw from a blog that there’s a disorder known as Facebook Addiction Disorder (FAD), I know at least a bazillion people who have this disorder, better be vary of it. I know it’s fun facebooking, but don’t do it too much. I know I’m in no position to say this, as I refresh my FB page every 10seconds or so, winks.

1/7
Hi there, here I am once again. On the day which cuts the year into half. Wished Sheue Li birthday yesterday and she said that she visits my blog. Indeed she’s one of the must-read-my-blog candidates in my mind. Actually, all candidates in my mind are following. So, I’m feeling extremely contented. Therefore, there’s a big chance that I’m switching this into private. As you know previously I was concerned if she’s reading it. If not, and I simply invite her to my blog, it would seem awkward, to me la. So depending on how things turn out, I might be sending please-read-my-blog invitations to you guys soon, wish me LUCK.
And ya, I’m turning over a new leaf, switching back to my second language. As I can see a downward sloping trend for my English. There’s one thing that I kept forgetting to mention here. It happened on 23rd June if not mistaken. I created a new Thai dish, called “wakaka”. The story goes...
Once upon a time, a bunch of people went for an outing in one mildly cold winter and the noisiest brat, Ah Chuen said let’s go for Freddo (ice-cream)!!! As nobody opposed (he never lets the others to oppose his suggestions, domineering I know), they started walking towards the ice-cream shop. Out of a sudden, there was one who said “why don’t we go to Ying Thai” (Thai cuisine restaurant)? It was also a fantastic suggestion, so Domineering Ah Chuen said, “No problem! I’ve never been there!”. And so not long after that, they reached the shop and began exploring the menu. And suddenly as if lightning struck his head, Ah Chuen said, “I heard from a senior that there’s a nice dish here, but I am not sure about the name. I think its something like wakaka.” And so the search began, though there were only two people who were searching for it, the rest were smart enough to notice there’s no such dish named “wakaka” that exists in this world. And so eventually Ah Chuen gave up and said “I don’t want to order, y’all decide”. But to his surprise one of his comrades, Yin Shia was still searching for “WAKAKA” in the menu...
I decide to leave the story like this, sounds funnier... Btw, sorry for mentioning names, my bad... Haha. Well, if you’ve been MSNing with me during the older days, I had been using wakaka quite frequently and so I mixed it up with the name of the dish, its name is supposed to be something related to pattaya.
Ok, done with the story time. Lets continue with my routine daily reports!
Think I mentioned something about reading other people’s blog, its really awesome. Think it will become my new pastime. Especially when those bloggers are Malaysians, with fantastic English! I know my writing skills and creativity still have rooms for improvement, and I’m sure I can improve by reading articles wrote by veteran bloggers. If you have great blogging skills, reading it would be as if you are living the blogger’s life!!! So that’s my aim for the next half year. Who said we cant have half-year resolutions, since I failed to achieve most of my 2010 new year resolutions. Guess there’s still a lot of things to work with!
Btw, just signed up to be a volunteer for the coming marathon on 18th July 10. Think its gonna be something really fun. Why am I not joining you might ask, coz its really expensive. I would rather cheer for them. This marathon activity reminds me of the marathon event that was held last time, when I was still at Taylor’s. Though I didn’t join it (wonder why I didn’t?), it was fun listening to their stories about the event! When I’m back in Malaysia, I would surely want to take part in this kind of activity.
And sometimes you do need pictures to tell you that you’ve grown! A cousin uploaded a picture that was taken ages ago (no one is able to tell when was it taken), I am quite persistent that it was taken around 10 years ago though. As I looked much more childish back then, I know I’m still quite childish now, no need to remind me that... Though I promised to post two of my pictures when I was very ugly, I was just too lazy to do so, not because I don’t want to embarrass myself. Wait for a little longer, as I’m suspended from using the lab’s computer (due to over-watching of variety shows and dramas). However, I can still gain access to the internet from other places that have computers. But if I were to upload the pictures there, many people would be seeing me doing so, which is super duper embarrassing. So, maybe next week I think.
The next random issue that I want to grumble about, “WHY KIDS NOWADAYS HAVE TO LEARN SOMETHING SO HARD”? People who are interested can write a generic essay and pass it to your English teacher, worth writing. As many may be aware of, there’s a variety show called “Are you smarter than a 5th Grader?”, think its categorized under variety shows although its highly taxing... And so I was watching the Hong Kong version of the show, great ideas are meant to be shared among different countries. Maybe one day Malaysians would be watching, “Adakah anda secerdik budak Darjah Lima”. Back to the main topic, the questions were totally INSANE... Not to say that some of them are not applicable in real life, but I wonder why primary students need to understand all these?
Before watching the show, I thought Malaysian and Singaporeans parents are pressurizing their children with lotsa tuition classes (academic + non-academic). But I was wrong about that, the correct way of saying it is parents over the whole world are pressurizing their children with tonnes things to do. Please don’t think that I am whining about this because I am not knowledgeable enough (Yes, I do know that I’m not knowledgeable), but are children nowadays learning too much than what they are supposed to know? I know this is worth debating, but personally I would think learning too much does not help sometimes... For instance, children may be discouraged to learn what they are actually interested in if the syllabus gets too difficult. For example, if there’s a kid who’s interested in becoming an astronaut and you start bombarding the brat with the formation of milky way or the distance between Jupiter and the Earth when he/she is only 8 years old, do you think they still want to know more about the space?
Obviously many would beg to differ with my opinion, but if I were to meet these kids, I would tell them stories about aliens. WAKAKA, its nothing wrong to mix fictions with facts to boost interests, I am not saying to lie to them of course. I still remember during my primary school days, when I attended computer class, we were learning how to operate word, excel and a little of power point if not mistaken. But they are learning how many kilobytes is a micro byte. I know we have to improve the syllabus with accordance to the progress of the society, but isn’t is too hard for the youngsters?
Done talking about stressing issues. To end, I want to wish everyone Happy Later-Half 2010!!!
PS: Think I’ve forgotten about a lot of things to talk again, next time I will write them down before typing them out!
