Winter break is approaching its very end soon, and I am not happy about it. Well, just think about all my unfinished games and lying in the bed doing nothing until afternoon… Can’t say how much I don’t want to return to school. I mean a month’s holiday is NOT ENOUGH, I want more . Anyway, nothing’s gonna stop school’s reopening and I should just start preparing, both mentally and physically for it. I am just too sure that all these will start when my to-be lecturers post week 1 lecture notes. Hope they won’t be too mean.

And so I was telling myself to savour the very last moments of my beloved winter break and I did a crazy thing, watching four seasons of Gossip Girl in just one week, or less. As most people who watch the same series can guess, I was so overwhelmed with the you-know-what scenes throughout the series. The effect seems to be magnified if you watch all four back-to-back. Apart from those infamous scenes, I am taken aback by the speed of the characters changing partners, like continuously, seriously. I really wonder things like that can actually happen in real life? I mean, I can totally understand getting over and get a new boy/girlfriend to forget about the previous not-so-happy relationship, but getting a new b/gf who happens to be a close friend to your ex and he/she is totally ok about all that, eww…

Anyways, I also doubt about the degree of scandals they can actually have living in Manhattan, makes me feel like I am going to vomit everytime a new scandal surfaces. Not to mention all the betrayals too. Well, that’s all for my feelings after watching this series, but I’ve to admit it’s not as bad as I thought, for a moment I was really hoping Blair could find her true love and be happily ever after, of course that’s before a new scandal about her cheating her boyfriend comes out on Gossip Girl . So, whoever’s having the series sitting in their external hardisk, why not spend some time as Gossip Girl unveils all the scandalous events of Manhattan elites?

I actually don’t have much to share for the moment as my daily schedule is entirely the same which includes getting up in the afternoon, bath, eat, play games while putting a series on as background music (trains your listening skill, of course multi-tasking skill too), then keep doing the same thing until 3am, then sleep and its all the same stuff over and over again. The only thing that’s changing is the name of the game I’m playing and of course the different series I play.

Also, I think I’m putting a stop to watching series as it’s SUMMER time in America now and new series of Supernatural, GG, Desperate Housewives, Glee and Vampire Diaries won’t start until September if not mistaken. Currently, my heart is too occupied by all these and I won’t dare to start a new series, say Lost or Numbers although I totally know they are awesome too. Therefore, I am going to venture more of my time into novel reading, got two story books from Borders just before it was closed, for good. Other than that, I need to do a revision on a novel written by Giddens just before I download/watch online the adapted movie that’s going to be a blockbuster for sure in mid-August, totally forward to it. Sadly, it’s a mandarin movie and I am quite sure it won’t get to be shown in cinemas here . And also I will be going through movies, from all sorts of countries and genres just to ensure my openness . So, new semester resolution, still study hard, lesser series but more movies and long-stories. Also, to share a really sad news, I didn’t get the job T_T. Therefore, it’s back to being idle all day long after school hours 

So it's time for my comeback!

Away from my blog, for such a long time, guess I was being too lazy to write, or I just had no idea where to start.

Winter break is coming to an end soon, after the eventful NCG event, I was left with pretty much two and a half weeks to waste. Literally, I waste time, playing ancient games all day, or watch dramas over and over again. My condition got so bad that I am now forced to watch Gossip Girls (downloaded it due to the high rep) which I nearly fall asleep repeatedly.

It was really nice to meet new people during NCG, people who are really funny and interesting, as well as from other universities, other than that, I bumped into some of my friends knew since Taylor's time, hate it coz we had no real time to catch up and so on.

Talking about catching up, I had a fantastic session with Evelyn, whom I havent seen for ages. Think we spent like 5 hours talking while walking around RMIT and Melb U. Oh, btw, have finally moved from the slum I used to stay to a new place, civilisation and heater life again, can't really find the right expression to describe how much I love my current room. Reminds me so much about INTI, shared toilets, kitchen and so on, though most people aren't around right now, I supposed they either went for vacations or are having fantastic time back at their home country.

Anyway, I spent my entire previous semester slacking, watching dramas and animes, had fun watching every single season of Supernatural, Desperate Housewives except season 3 coz I couldn't find the appropriate website to download it, Glee and Vampire Diaries. Supernatural has been as awesome as always, though I kinda hate the idea of the good angel turning slightly bad... Also, I dislike seeing Lynette having marital problems with Tom in Desperate Housewives and New Directions losing in Nationals in Glee. Guess I should just stop grumbling about the new storyline and continue.

And so to kick off my new (after rehab) semester, I decided to head out and search for a new job after the previous sucky pay job, but out of a sudden no shop seems to be recruiting new staff. So, after the outing with Evelyn, I spotted the Subway really near to my place was hiring so I handed my resume. Went to an interview which was really fun and have to wait for the results until the coming Tuesday, fingers crossed...

Guess I've got nothing else to update for now, apart from my ongoing illness, sore throat followed by flu, then flu and more flus... It all started from the ongoing stupid rain lasted for 3 hours if not longer on the second day of NCG, and I was assigned to the soccer field, which anyone reading this should know THE GAME DOES NOT STOP EVEN IF IT RAINS, well even the frisbee event continued with the rain.

Gotta stop now, have to continue with Gossip Girl, my new brand of sleeping pills :)

BP

Going to BP tomorrow, happy :))

But have to drive, kinda nervous, my driving skills kinda sucks as most people are aware of...

Prepare for the worst n hope for the best, gonna have an early nite, after reading stephanie meyer

Book was laid back for so long that I started sneezing while brushing the dust away, sweat

Been too lazy, school's gonna start soon, hope new semester will be lotsa fun

And so I'm back

Was feeling hyper bored just now and decided to read Linn's blog, spent quite some time looking for it as I don't have the habit of saving websites T_T

And so I felt I've wasted a lot of time doing useless stuff such as PPS-ing and FB-ing, I do understand the importance of FB but still much time has been wasted refreshing my page so frequently yet doing nothing actually

Talking about trust and betrayal, I've tonnes of stories to tell, of course me being the protoganist sometimes, and the amount of stories never stops building up. Watched KangXi yesterday and one of the guests actually said our group (she was an ex-member of a very not famous group) got disbanded with tonnes of backstabbing and fights among ourselves. Was simply astonished by her boldness, as I will never say something like that although things like that have been going on like forever. I blame people, or rather it's my own fault for being so information-less, without some of my friends, I might still be hovering in my Uni enrolment page, panicking... I do admit that we fought before, but we did pull through until now, and I hope for the best for our friendship to last

Being really disturbed on FB due to "I" issues as I was too way behind of some other people, when I first entered as a "J". i knew exactly what's awaiting me already, but it does hurt everytime... Nonetheless, there's still chance for us who let our opportunity slipped last year

Truthfully enough, I blame nobody now, as we were brought up in an environment where information is not to be shared, I don't mean everyone here, there's still considerate people around me who are willing to share secrets, information and other things with me whom I thank them wholeheartedly. Anyways, most who share things with me so far lost their opportunities of getting "I" too, so we might just be more alert throughout this whole year to grab our chance when it comes :)

Anyway, happy new year everyone

PS: Linn does look more pro having her hair bundled up together

26/8

Hi guys, just a short notice here. I won’t be able to update my blog so frequently as compared to previously currently as I’ve assignments piling up and Sem 2 proves to be much harder than Sem 1. So I guess I’ve to spend more time doing revisions and etc

And after all the hard work, I suppose I will have lots of fun when I go back to Malaysia

Really, really soon, just three months plus away from me flying with Emirates returning to Singapore then Malaysia. And soon after that, I will be taking AirAsiaX (I know it sucks) to Taiwan for my second visit since December 2008. I’m really looking forward for this trip, able to visit those interesting place again, tasting all their foods! Have vowed to try their sausages this time because I didn’t dare to try any of them during the last visit, dumb me

Anyway, the trip this time should be more fun as my uncle’s family joining, plus my big bro and sis’ bf. But sadly my father ain’t joining, because he said he had been there once already, no point going there again??? To me, visiting for the first time is for you to get some basic information about the place, like the weather, the price of stuffs over there, etc. And for the second time, you can spend lavishly on whatever you think is worth every penny of yours.

I’ve a few on my mind now, of course on top of my hierarchy will be food, food and more food! Must have “Ah Zhong” vermicelli again at “Si Men Ding”. And the very long ice-cream (if I manage to find it again), chicken chops, notice there a “s” behind chop, meaning I will be having plenty of them. In actual facts, chicken chops in Taiwan are cheaper than Malaysia (when you convert it to RM) and way bigger and nicer. Other than that, must have their shaved ice which I didn’t get to try during the last visit too... Because it was winter during my visit and the ice shops aren’t very active??? Well, when I revisit Taiwan at the end of this year, it will be Winter again, but since I’ve been training hard to withstand the chilliness of Winter at Melbourne which should be colder than Taiwan, I’m confident that I can have a lot of shaved ice at Taiwan! Last thing on my mind now, BUBBLE TEA! You shouldn’t say you’ve been to Taiwan before if you haven’t tried their Bubble Tea, it’s like everywhere in Taiwan!

If you think I’m done with food, I’m not! But the food that I want to talk about here is slightly different, as I won’t be going to the shops, but I will try to order deliveries online or through phone! Guess many of you watch either Kang Xi or Guess? Sorry if you don’t watch either of them... There’s been a lot of mentioning about delivery foods, not Pizza or McDonalds please. But real food like.... Erm, can’t think of any now. My head is full of desserts now, as you can get desserts through delivery as well. Guess I’ll have to start researching maybe one month before I go there.

There’s still many things to talk about my coming trip to Taiwan, but I will just put it to a halt here for the time being. Let me continue by talking about the weather in Melbourne. It’s disastrous to me. Everyday I will be standing in front of the mirror, asking myself (Please la, not mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the most handsome of the all...), why do you have to do your hair? No matter how much gel I put onto my hair, gustS of winds will just destroy everything... Take note of the “S” after gust. It’s more one a gust, it’s like never stopping of wind blowing everywhere, from all directions. And I do hope that the wind god can stop torturing me, and the rest of the pedestrians... And sometimes, it will rain heavily, literally, HEAVILY. I’m not bragging here, I experienced one of the very scary rain just two days ago, one which if you stand under the rain for 1 minute, your whole body will be drenched. I mean like until INSIDE... And on one fine evening, I started walking back home from uni, and it started drizzling. When I was about to reach the shopping complex near my place, it started raining very very very heavily, and immediately I put my hoodie on, and ran for shelter. When I finally reached a “safe” place, water was dripping down from the hood... Hope you guys can relate to my experience... Moreover, umbrellas are technically useless here, especially this season. I bet you guys heard of the term “turned turtle”? When a car involves in a serious accident, there’s a chance for the car to turn turtle. Umbrellas will get flipped over when the wind is blowing too strongly, and when you attempt to open your umbrella, you will be surprise that the moment your umbrella opens, it will get flipped over, in a split second. Interesting huh?

Guess I will just stop here, still have assignment to finish

Embarassing moments :)

Did something super embarassing today haha

Put my stuff into a locker at the Uni, with my laptop inside

Then I forgot the number of my locker, actually wasn't too sure of the pin number also

Something wrong with my brain...

Maybe it's the after-effect of Law test...

And so I was trying all the lockers there, one after another, setting off the alarms at the same time T_T

So I got no choice but to ask the staff there

Response from them, check with all the lockers again, and ignore the alarms

So, half covering my face, I continued trying other lockers

And in the end, couldn't find the right locker

So I went to the counter again and asked for help

Seeing my pitiful place, the staff allowed me to choose three lockers to be opened

And I got the RIGHT one at my first attempt!

That means I remembered the locker position correctly!

But problem is I think I remembered the pin wrongly...

So I do have my cute moments too hohoho

13/8

Went to the Annual General Meeting (AGM) for Malaysians of Melbourne University (MOMU) today.

First problem was they provided no food for us, which was a great disgrace. Actually the whole point I agreed to attend in the first place was because I thought there would be refreshments provided. I think I mentioned about the fact that I’m a glutton. So I was extremely ANGRY about it!!!

So, without the food to begin with, I was sure that the whole meeting wouldn’t go smooth! And aha, as I expected, the meeting turned out to be something like pasar malam... Heard of office politics? What we witnessed today was “club” politics. The committee was broken into two main groups, namely A and B group. Knew that after the AGM, apparently some people talk kind of loud, I know I am as well, so I overheard them saying, “almost the entire new committee is made up of “their” people”. So funny isn’t it? Actually MOMU is not a very big association, compared to other societies like MUOSS or MASCA, but people still seem to be very enthusiastic in getting the positions.

The new president, the person whom we were supposed to vote for, talked about how much money he got from the sponsors over the period he served as the sponsorship manager (ain’t too sure what’s the name of the position) and how close his relationship is with the sponsors. Then I was thinking, “huh? Does it have anything to do with the position of a president?” Apparently yes, as in the end he won the election. Actually, in the end, an election for a club this big, the possibility of winning the post you are running depends on the number of friends you’ve got in the society, as people don’t really judge you through your ability. If I were to say this guy who got elected as the president was because he raised a lot of money for the club, wouldn’t everyone fight for the position of sponsorship manager, as in the end, if you have can ensure the club gets money, you’re the man for the society! Haha, to me, the president position is for people who know how to plan for the whole society, often people who are really great in raising funds for the club can actually remain at their position, since he “personally” knows ALL the sponsors.

Not being sarcastic here, but truth is, a company will not appoint salesperson of sales manager of the company to be the director just because they have the highest sales of the year. It’s about managing that a director does, right? Hehe. Anyway, let’s just hope he can do his job nicely, obviously I am not trying to underestimate him, problem is when you are running for the position of president, what I would really want to hear is what plans you will make for the society, and not how much you’ve done during your last serving period. Of course you can briefly mention some of the contributions you made and how committed you are to the association, but there’s no need to talk about it for the whole 3 minutes. In the end, after the speech by him, I was wondering, is he running for president? Or he just wants to continue his position as sponsorship manager?

Ok lah, hope I can skip all the AGMs next time, have to see them attacking each other, then listen to their (irrelevant) speeches. If I do attend an AGM, I would surely hope for a good explanation on the financial statements of the club. As a lot of people overlooked, and it was mentioned by the ex-treasurer by ONLY ONE SENTENCE, the annual ski trip organised by MOMU incurred a LOSS to the society. It’s such a “huh???” question. Normally this kind of trip will surely bring most profits to the society, yet a loss was incurred. And the treasurer kind of said somehow the club made a loss. No explanations were given whatsoever, and nobody else did ask why did that happen. Ok, this is a secret between us, don’t ask them why there’s a loss since they didn’t want to talk about it. But maybe, just maybe, a post mortem can be done during the meeting on what exactly went wrong and whether THAT activity which brought losses should be continued next year? Oh btw, for Choi Kuan who was elected the position of Vice Pres, congratulations! She deserve the position as she didn’t keep stressing on what she did during her ex-servicing period, but did mention some of “what I will do if I get elected”, which is plausible, for me. And another reason, apart from all the existing supporters supporting her already, her opponent, forgot what’s her name already, acted in a nonchalant way during her speech, making me hardly absorbing what she said, sorry for that, the other contestant. Haha

Aiya, talked too much about this MOMU thingy already. Let’s continue with other subject... Two major events are going on, first thing is Bulan berpuasa, meaning Hari Raya is coming soon. Secondly, ghost month is here. And so, I shall wish all Malays happy fasting and Selamat Hari Raya very soon. Other than that, tomorrow I’ll be going to “Fo Guang Yuan” to chant “Di Zang Jing”. The whole scripture is about the story of “Di Zang Wang”, a very filial person, and how he became a Buddha.

I’m very sure that I’ve left out something to talk about here, but it’s fine, I’ll just update it when I remember.
