I am a good cook (self-proclaimed)

As responding to Mic's suggestion in my tagboard, i am going to talk about my new life when Jason started moving in two weeks ago, moving in as my roommate but not as soulmate, i hope it doesn't disappoint you.

so what's the life like? erm, it's pretty much the same when francois was here. the only difference is, the setting of the room has been changed, we have a bigger study table now as to accomodate two precious laptops which obviously are the most important tool in our life respectively. And we started chipping in money to share the food expenses, household necessties which i believe can definitely cut down my daily expenses.

and yeah, something that is for sure i am going to blog about!!! we cook everyday! ok maybe it's not everyday, but almost 5 to 6 out of 7 days. that's very rare for lazy people like me to do.

first day of cooking : fried spaghetti
ingredients : sausages, minced beef, spaghetti, soy sauce, onion and pepper
task : obviously i am better than jason in cooking, so yeah, i did the cooking part. no offense jason. hehe.
risk: burn the kitchen down (my friend always says that: " i am not going to let you use my kitchen")
level of difficulty: 3 out of 5 (it requires lots of skill ok!!!!)
***how nice it is?****
self-rating: 4.5 out of 5
Jason's rating: 4 out of 5
**WOW, this is just nice!! ** please make a reservation if you would like to try it out

second day of cooking: omelette
ingredients: eggs, sausages, onion
task: i did the cooking part, Jason did the cutting part.
risk: burn the bottom part of the omelette(mind me, you can't flip it over, so to make sure the both side of the omelette is cooked, you will have to control the strength of the stove)
level of difficulty: 2.5 out of 5
***how good it is?***
self-rating: 2 out of 5
Jason's rating: 3 out of 5 ( his remark: taste is alright, but it looked awful!!!!)
****WTH, my omelette turned out to be scrambled eggs!!!! that's just so sad!!!! what's the reason? i almost burn the eggs, so in order not to burn it, i turned it into scrambled eggs!!!!***

third day of cooking: steamed fish
ingredients: f**cking-expensive-perch-fillet(which placed more pressure on me not to fail it), prune, ginger and soy sauce
task: marinate the fish with salt, then put one prune to flavour it, and some ginger on top. then steam it.
risk: diarrhoa if the fish isn't cooked enough, or awful looking fish if it's too cooked
level of difficulty: 4 out of 5
***how is it?***
self rating: 3 out of 5
Jason's rating: 3.5 out of 5
***ok, frankly speaking, it turned out quite soury and salty as i put too much salt and prune. nevertheless a nice try***

fourth day: spaghetti bolognaise
ingredients: spaghetti, tomato paste, minced beef, onion, garlic
task: easy la!!!
risk: no risk at all. ok perhaps a cut on my hand when i am cutting onions. oh yeah, tearing while cutting onions.
level of difficulty: 1 out of 5 (hehe, damn confident weh, but actually its not that easy to make nice bolognaise)
***huhu, heavenly cuisine***
self rating : 4 out of 5
Jason's rating: 4 out of 5
***its pretty easy, whoever can't cook it, you can no longer call yourself human***

ok, time for chinese food.

fifth day: stir fried bak choy, roasted chicken( just need to heat it up, hehe), onion eggs.
ingredients: bak choy, garlic, onion, eggs, soy sauce, pepper, wine
risk: the risk of not getting nice food
both party's rate: 4 out of 5
***well, i used red wine to stir fried the bak choy. it turned out nice!!! so you people might try it next time***

A lot more to go. i am not going to blog about them all. life is packed with work, having fun, and of course dealing with some never-can-be-resolved-problems. oh yeah, gota introduce who is this my new roommate to you.

Jason, doing Commerce in UNSW, was my secondary and college mate, but we never talked to each other before we saw each other in UNSW.

oh yeah, Kai was here last week. i met up with her and went out with her for a few hours. i was working though. i was damn happy to see her, and a big hug when i saw her on the first day in QVB.
"you are still skinny, why do they say you are fatter now?" she said.
so people, call me no fatty!!!! kai has testified me!!!!

kai and me. it's been too dark to take a clear pic. kai's scarf on me, and i didnt know how to wear a scarf.lol. i seriously think that i will suffocate myself while putting on the scarf around my neck. i'll be the first ever person who is killed by the scarf, myself.

me, kai, Jason, and yihong chilled out at gloria-jean until 1.30 am.

see you in london kai!!!

life is busy

i have been pretty caught up with life lately. sorry for the lack of updates. i feel bad about that. However, i am not going to blog about any particular thing today. just some update on my current life here in sydney.

As you all know, i am working now, 6 hours a day, 7 days a week, that's really alot!!! i have requested to work less, but won't be bothered until the boss has hired the ideal person. Working everyday is not only tiring, but also boring. i am so fed up with the same routine now. Taking order, dealing with some bitchy people, serve the meal and clean the table. everyday is the same, the only thing that would cheer me up is when there are some compliment or warming smile from the customers.

i particularly like an old woman who is in her sixties, she will drop by the cafe once a week. Usually she is with her grandchildren, but lately in this two weeks, she has been coming alone with her smile, a really really warm and cheering smile. i really like her, she always makes me think that life is so wonderful, and happiness is everywhere around us. she has an insatiable appetite for food, after a serving of steak, she will order dessert or anything else. the saying " optimist or people who are always in their happy mode can eat more and definitely look younger than pessimist" is so true that i always hold on to it.

there is this japanese customer which always come to the cafe which we call him "the sleeping god". he is great, no matter how busy or how noisy the cafe is, he can always fall asleep after a cup of cappucino, and surprisingly, for an hour or two. he doesn't really care how people around are looking at him, how ugly his sleeping pose is or how bad he will be criticized. Sometimes i really think that we are not living for ourselves, but for the people around us. they will decide what kind of person we HAVE TO BE, but not what we are. isn't it true? you will change yourself when you get some negative comment from the others, you will live as what people want you to be. i always think that i don't really care what people are thinking about me, but actually i have been so wrong. i am scared, i am surrendered to the actual world, i can't really do whatever i want, and most importantly, i can't be the hundred percent real me. there is always one or two percent of you that you are not willing to acknowledge or be acknowledged of.

i was trying to snap a pic of the sleeping god from far. he is the guy in pink shirt who was dozing off on the table. a big salute!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another significant incident i have to tell is the meeting up with kenny (klcc) last week when he popped into the city with Tom. We have both been in Sydney for 5 months, but we have never met up, seemed like we are so so far away from each other. oh gosh, it's only 45 mins in a bus but it has taken us both a whole 5 months to actually meet up. ahahaha. so we went for shopping, plainly for Tom's-looking-for-hoodies purpose. but it was nice going to bondi and then a quick beer in the city before dinner.
so, guess what he had all the beer there drunk. hehe. ok, according to him, that's the first time he had been in a bar in Sydney or in his lifetime? sorry i kinda forgot.
me and Tom with his new baby cap from quicksilver. life is so relaxing when you can have a quick beer and chatter up with your mates for the whole evening.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

francois has moved out the room due to some reason that i am not going to talk about here. as a result, Jason is moving in to fill up the vacant bed. Jason, a friend i have known since secondary school to college but we had never talked to each other. We first talked when we found each other in the same uni. so now we are roommate. It got me think that the world is really small, and there is always a surprise. Will update some picture soon, will be kinda busy with the settle down thingy.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i was walking with sherene on the street after dinner where we popped into a shop with a great deal of sales. she was trying to look for some necklace or whatever accessories. so we saw some earring for guys. and Sherene asked me to give it a try. so yeah, i bought it and put it on~~

it's not that obvious as my hair is quite longish now. well, i don't always put it on, just occasionally~i am still not used to wearing an earrring.


A late update of Sherene's birthday. happy birthday Sherene. The cheesecake was so nice!! no kidding!!! promised to buy Kai a piece of it when she gets here~~

Chatting Machine--Don't call me honey

As told in the previous post, i am now currently working as a waiter. From the past experiences (three days only, but it feels like a lifetime, ahaha), waiter is the suckiest job in the world. Don't try that people, if you have a better choice.

Since i was 16 years old, i realised that i can get on with the elders easily, as in chatting for whatever topics that come up. it's quite abnormal for a teenager who is still under 20 years old to chat so much with elders. well, from friends' mums, my own grandma, grandma's friends, parent's friends, AND NOW MY FEMALE BOSS!!!!!! i am announcing that i have become a chatting machine for my female boss Jenny.

my boss, Jenny and Raymond is a couple who has married for nearly 30 years, or maybe more. During the second and third working day, i have become a chatting machine to her. she will start chatting with me whenever there are free time to spare in between. the topics covered ranging from her family, my family, her previous workers, her previous workers' background, life in sydney, her life as in where are they usually going for dinner and whatsoever.

Seriously, i feel so old, i dont feel my age, i dont feel i am a cool teenager, I AM JUST A TEENAGER WTH AN OLD MIND!!!!! worse comes to worse, i have become someone that she would tell when she feels like talking bad the others. Well, i am not complaining, but actually it's fun, at least i have someone to hold an easygoing conversation with at work.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the second day, there was this korean girl who came after the job. She was summoned for trial before recruiting her. She is around 20-25, i am not sure, quite pretty, quite hardworking and friendly. So everything went well until a freaking word blurted out from her.

" Can you give me a hand HONEY?" She said while i was polishing the cutlery.

actually i didn't quite listen to her, i was told by my boss to give her a hand. so when i came back, the boss threw me this question.

"Did she just call you honey?" Jenny(the female boss) asked while Raymond (the male boss) stood next to her smiling wickedly.

"huh? did she? i didn't quite listen to her." i replied, sensed that they were going to make fun of me the right next second.

so they asked the korean girl again whether she did call me honey. "THAT'S REALLY UNNECESSARY!!!!!!!!! SAVE THE QUESTION!!!" i mused, felt like fleeing from the spot.

"yeah, i called him honey" the korean girl answered. i stood there, suffocated by the laughters.

"oh honey, thank you very much" raymond talked to me, mimicking the korean girl.

i stood there, fell silent amidst the laughters..............................................................

so this morning, Raymond said to me while i greeted him morning "Will you not able to stay focus as your sweetheart is not in the same shift with you?"

"................, yeah, perhaps~~" i said, with the old tone and manners i have had for years~~~

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jenny told me a story when a customer came in yesterday.

" he is our daily customer since a few months ago. there is a tale why he has become our daily customer." Jenny said.

obviously, i was waiting there for the story to be told.

"his wallet was stolen when he came to the cafe for the first time. while the pickpocket was in our cafe before he came in. the pickpocket left the wallet on the table after taking out all the money. so when he told me his wallet was stolen, i showed him the wallet that the young guy had left on the table. all the licenses and important IDs were still there."

astonished. i looked at the man sitting there who is in his fifties. he felt grateful and comes to the cafe everyday, yeah everyday, without a day failed. he looks sincere and kind to me, perhaps it's because of the story, and his sincerity has really touched my soul.

frankly speaking, it's always warm to see a person without putting on his mask. yeah, he felt grateful, he should come to the cafe for days or weeks, but not for months. He has traded his choice of breakfast to the cafe because of a wallet. i would say that's rare. but i am really touched. i had an urge to give him a hug, i don't know why, maybe his sincerity has told me that the world is full of love.

First working day

yeah, it's my first working day in australia. To my and everyone's surprise, i work!!! yeah, i am employed, and work, with salary paid, and i am telling you IT'S GONA LAST MORE THAN 9 DAYS!!!!

so what's my job about? it's all about
-- taking order
-- giving a hand in the kitchen when everyone's lazy to cook and eating out
-- memorizing all kinds of coffee on the menu
-- keeping all the abbreviation off pat in my brain to save up the time taking order
-- to help reduce my phone bill (boss said "no mobile is allowed at work" but it's allowed in the toilet, huhu)
-- to become a coffee addict within a week, i have unlimited coffee supply (oh hell, i had two latte today, they are sooo tempting)
-- a stepping stone to a better job
-- to keep me occupied instead of wasting time at home
-- a source of income which i can buy a pair of diesel shoes and of course to make me fatter
-- a way to make myself asleep before 12am and wake up at 7am
AND so on and so forth~~~~

ok, cut it short, i am currently working as a WAITER in a cafe selling breakfast and lunch, and of course coffee ( lamo, since when there is a cafe not selling coffee??!!!)

so you will ask me how was my first day going on? erm, it's pretty normal, woke up at 7am, left for work at 7.45am (oh gosh, chia voon sien, that's quick, you had only taken 45 mins today to settle on everything). and arrived at my working place "Mona Cafe" at 7.51am. yeah, it's only 100m away from my place. and started working.

work was easy, took order, sent it to the kitchen, cleaned up the tables when they were done with their meals, drank the coffee boss made me every so often.

HOWEVER, here came the first nightmare at 9.30am!!!!!!
two heavily-perfumed women walked into the cafe. they are the typical i-am-rich-i-have-nothing-to-do-i-will-just-spend-my-day-shopping-for-everything-on-my-husband's-credit-card housewives. ok back to the nightmare, i was beckoned to take their order.

before i stepped into the war zone, my boss issued an ultimatum "be careful, they are those fussy women"--- "erm, i could handle them" i said, not realising that i was getting myself into the trouble.

"good morning, how ya doing" i greeted, not expecting any response from them.

"good good. hmm, i would like to have a "bacon and egss" Woman A said, but not putting a full stop to her sentence. she then went on " can i have the fried eggs changed to scrambled eggs?"

"hold on, i will ask my boss" i said, and walked towards my boss.
"sorry, but you will be charged one dollar extra for changing it" i told her what i had been told.
"ok, it's alright. and can i have flat white, with chocolate on it?" she then continued. YA, STILL TAKING WOMAN A 'S ORDER!!!

"wth, flat white with chocolate on top? there aren't any chocolate on flat white!!!!" i mused.
ok so i turned to ask my boss again. she agreed with it.

Woman B was pretty much fussy, they were just FUSSY!!! and all i could do was giving a wry smile to them!!!!

phew, i gushed down a glass of cold water to put on the glaring fire in me. then here came the second nightmare at 10.30am before lunch time.

i was asked to help out in the kitchen. boss asked me to prepare the salad. yeah, it was easy~~everything was pretty handy until i was ordered to peel the potatoes~~

peeling the popatoes? it's damn easy, isn't it?
YAYE, ITS EASY!!!!!! IT'S EASY IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO PEEL HELL LOTS OF POTATOES FOR ONE HOUR OR MORE!!!!!!

hell, peeling potatoes for one hour. oh gosh, my hands were full of potatoes!! i am phobic eating crisps or french fries or chips!!! hehe, nono, i still love french fries from mcdonald~~~

so, the third nightmare came at night, yeah, it's happening now!!! i have to memorize all the dishes on the menu. i brought a copy back, and should be starting memorizing it, but hell, it's even harder than biology!!!!! i love biology now!!!!

by the way, there was this short conversation that made me blushed took place in the cafe.

"ah, so now you've got a lovely young man working for you!" the old lady who came for lunch said to my boss. i was standing beside the boss.
"nice smile, i would love to bring him home" another lady who was in the same table said.

i was blushing like a tomatoes........................

yeah, that's my first day. it's not hard, but the tiny nightmares had buggered it up. tomorrow will be better~~~

Sleep

everyone has to sleep. some have to get at least 8 hours sleep, some will have to take up to 12hours, and some don't even have a 5-hours-sleep a day. that's so different. some might think it's a waste of time to sleep your day away. some might think it is the best thing ever to sleep, and it's just heavenly nice if you can sleep whenever you want. but actually, why do we have to sleep?

we have to sleep because the lecture is simply boring!! the lecturer is standing while all of the students are sitting on not-so-comfy-but-still comfier-than-standing-foldable chair in Matthew Theatre. "we have to talk for one hour, it's tiring!" that's the most commonly used phrase by all the lecturers worldwide. but i personally think that students tend to have a more tiring routine. it's explained here. " we students have to listen to the lecturers for one hour, and within this one hour, we have to fight against the sleeping devil that constantly lure us into the sleep. so half of our strength are used to fight against the boring lecturer, while half of them are used to fight against the sleep devil.

the picture above showed the final outcome of "multitasking"- listen to the lecturer and fight against falling asleep. so when you're entirely exhausted, the lecture couldn't go any more dull, you will do the the wisest thing in the world, sit back and relax, sleep along with the lullaby~~~ photo courtesy to yihong, and mark who was talked into taking the pic by me shane during the two hours calculus lecture.

there is this tiny thing that i have observed from week to week. the first week i stepped into the lecture hall, it was so occupied by students that i had to sit in the last few rows. the second and third week, students were still coming to the lecture under some unknown reason ( maybe it's just nowhere better to go). the fourth week, i could get myself a seat in the first few rows even though i came in late or 5 mins before the lecture. the fifth week, it's a break for the observer me, i skipped my lecture. 6th week pretty much the same. the numbers of students in the lecture is inversely proportional to time. how sad!!! the sadder thing to say, hald of the students attended the lecture were asleep~~so now you have an idea how many students are actually paying attention to the lecturer.

we have to sleep because we are equipped with pillow and soothing music as a result of the invenion of mp3. some students who have biological background knowledge are smart enough to bring a small pillow with them wherever they go. it can somehow prevent you from any neck ache. anyone who are interested in the pillow, please go to the baby department to get one. it's small enough to be stuffed into your bag and to be called portable. so actually, there are a lot of tools or necessities are invented under the inspiration of getting a good sleep. so why not sleep more and be appreciative of the inventions??!!!

yeah, you guessed it right. i bring the pillow to school everyday. i brought it to taylor's for the whole year that i became the pillow supplier sometimes. my bag is undoubtedly comfortable~and i brought two pillows to aus, the big one to put on the bed and the small one to put in the bag. i am happy that i brought my big pillow to aus~~
"why do you need the small pillow?" my mum asked me when i bought the small pillow from the baby department in Malaysia.
"to put it in my bag and bring it to school, for some purposes" i told her and she was shocked that she said nothing after that.

next, we sleep because we are tired. the fatique caused by the assignments, the online games, msn chatting, looking for friends, waiting for someone to come online, unhappiness, and of course, the nice weather. i spend at least 10 hours online a day, and laptop becomes my fiance. frankly speaking, i cant live without my laptop.

i cant sacrifice my sleep for any other things except for my laptop. just like some people would sacrifice their sleeping time just to be with their lover. sometimes i think, why do we have to spend half day in sleeping, why not we spend it on any other better and meaningful things? whil e i am musing, my eyelids would unconscously shut down, and reopen again the next day when they get sick of the same position for the whole night. so, the same process keeps on recycling, the more i think i should do some meaningful things, the more i sleep. is that a good thing? DEFO!!!!!

Niao ren, let's sing~~~

i rearranged all my stuff in the laptop yesterday. i open this song and actually repeated it for quite a few times that i come to a realisation--
"i miss singing alot!!!! i wana go red box with you guys in mlaysia!!!!!"

ahaha. so yeah, the song you're listening now, yeah, the chinese song "zuijin" that i have just uploaded to the blog, was sung by me!!! niao ren which means "bird man"(aka hanwei, or hw in my tagboard) played the guitar!!!!!! haha, he claimed it as noob song btw~~~~

if you're interested in this song, which is obviously not as nice as li sheng jie's version, you can donwload it here. (super perasan weh)

zuijin

me and niao ren, the pic was taken in christine's apartment when all of us skipped the class (what class did we skip on that day again?). niao ren, let's do another project~~~~~!!!! haha..oh yeah, you still owe me bak kut teh~~does melbourne have bak kut teh??ahahaha...

"niao ren, i go melbourne find you this holiday (winter holiday)" i told him.

"i dont have enough place to accomodate you!" niao ren replied, being a cold blanket.

"i can bring my own sleeping bag, i dont mind sleeping in sleeping bag" i said, never wanted to give up.

"aiyo..bla bla bla" he then continued, didn't seem any intention to work out my visit!!!

FOX IS GOING TO KUALA LUMPUR

yeah, fox is going to kuala lumpur~~who is fox? he is my roommate francois, the name termed as he has a fox costume and he actually put it on. and yeah, he is going to KL and Bali for a two-week vacation tomorrow!!!!

so this post is just about the conversation between me and him.

"i will be away for two weeks, you can bring anyone home if you want (looking at me with a wicked smile)" francois said.

"haha, dont worry, i will" i said and started laughing at my own words.

"oh yeah, remember to wake me up tomorrow before you leave for uni" he told me when i was playing msn just now.

"why?" i asked since he told me his flight is in afternoon and i will go to uni at 8 sth in the morning.

"erm, i gota pack my thing and see you" he said and i obviously gave him a shocked look.
" i will be away for two weeks!! and i will be sleeping alone!! okok, maybe i will have some girls in my room( i started laughing out loud), but that's different!!!" he then continued.

"so you're gona miss me? haha. okok, don't worry i will give you a picture of mine" i said while was still laughing.

"yeah!! and i will put it in my wallet" he said jokingly.

omg, what kinda conversation is this? but actually we always have these interesting and funny conversation every so often. It's good to have those interesting conversations to enlighten your exhausted and dreadful body after a long day in uni.

haha, pic was taken when i was video'ing with huiling. he put the fox on me and actually started being friendly to her.haha. that's him beside me. and his friend in the white shirt.

enjoy your holiday roommie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dinner routine

Life in Sydney is tough if you're all alone. If you're on your own, you will soon run out of ideas what you're going to cook tonight or tomorrow night or the following night, plus cooking for yourself(i mean one person' share) is definitely tougher than preparing the dinner for a few persons. if you're on your own again, you won't feel like cooking, you will just eat out, but the problem is, you have to eat out alone!!! that's even more depressing.

i reckon i am lucky enough to have "dinner budddies". They are great and good cooks (Sherene, i am praising you now, once in a while i will still praise you instead of criticize you). While all i can cook are instant noodle (i learnt it in australia,shameful huh?), pasta(my everyday-pasta-meal roommate taught me), bak kut teh (it's the easiest, buy the packet of spice, dump the meat and spice inside, done), lasagna (haha, just buy the cooked one and heat it up), dumplings (just boil it in hot water), omelette (it's kinda hard you know, difficult to flip the eggs in the frying pan), fried rice (i officially announce that i am stepping into the advanced level, as the saying goes, practise makes perfect, you may want to try out my fried rice). ok, seems that i am quite a good cook, ain't i? at least i can cook different types of pasta!! and i believe that i will be a qualified cook soon~~~~~

ok let me introduce my dinner buddies. Initially we have 6 people in the gang. they are Katherine, KK, Tom, Sherene, Suchada and me!!! i am the youngest among them, yeah i am the only one who is 19 years old!!! ok, they will whack me up by saying this, ops~~~

this is katherine. an ex audit in E&Y, the first person i met in Sydney. frankly speaking, she is like my big sister and somehow take care of me. even the Auntie of the chinese restaurant asked me "where is your sister?" after she went back to Malaysia. yeah, she is now in Malaysia~~quit the "dinner organisation". her overused word in her daily life is "dao" when sth unexpected has happened.
This is Tom, Katherine's brother. He is the only student among us other than me. Currently doing actuary in Macquaire Uni, a big future huh!! He is my best buddy to train Sherene to be a tough woman through endless criticism~haha. he always claims that he has a big face "i think i should ask two trucks to knock me on my face to make it smaller, seriously!" lol..btw, he quit the dinner gang too, now surviving in the jungle area of North Ryde, but will occasionally come to the city to join us for lunch.
This is KK, katherine's fiance, a funny and interesting guy that has brought a lot of laughter to everyone. and yeah, i believe that he still is bringing laughter to everyone around him. A Mona- -Cafe-Lover too (i used "too" because i am a lover of Mona cafe). haha. he can call you a "san ba (as in bitch in English)" by just frowning, the words will appear on his forehead!! that's true!! Amazing!!!
this is Suchada, a Thai girl working in Sydney, will be here for a year. currently an accountant in E&Y (big company oh). she is also my student. student?? huh?? yeah, i am giving her chinese lesson, i have to say she is a quick learner. She is VERY MUCH against buying Homebrand groceries which include pasta, pasta sauce, or whatever that're labelled as Homebrand. "i dont buy Homebrand" she said it with a very snobbish look of a rich hosuewife and i will just laugh my ass off. currently still an active member of dinner organization.
ok this is Sherene. poor thing, she must have gone through a lot under our (tom and me) critics. she claimed that " the nice guy in sydney is either married, gay or students". that's depressing, but that's really true. so if you wana find a nice guy, don't bother to come to sydney. currently still an active member of the the dinner organisation. remark*** she is a better cook now, anyone interested in her can contact me. hehe..

so those are the ex and current member of dinner organization. so now, after katherine, kk and tom's leaving, we now have only three members, Sherene, Suchada and me~~It is always nice to have dinner together with them. We will chat throughout the dinner (wow, seems alot to chat) or watch series or movie while dining. that's a really nice dinner routine for me. although i am young ("ok la, stop stressing that you're young!" suchada and sherene will sure say), i can just mix well with them. Age doesn't really matter. what matters the most is your personality, your thinking way, and your willingness to mix with everyone anyone. That has made my life in Sydney interesting, not only confined to my course mates, but the people, great people i would say, the surrounds me.

thanks everyone!

suchada's old place. nice!! but she has moved to another place now.
some of the dishes we cook. ok actually usually it's only sherene and suchada who do the cooking, i am in charge of the washing.

preparation~~~

and last but not least, i am impressed and glad. life is not all about yourself, but the people around you. i am happy that i am always blessed with great people around me. Be it in Malaysia or in Sydney.

Ovulation, sex is everywhere

yeah, ovulation, it's a process which every girls will have to go through in their entire life before menopause(or girls still ovulate after menopause? someone who knows please correct me, thx). ok now, i am not going to talk about the ovulation in girls, but in men, or teenage guys.

does guy ovulate?????? what? say again? yeah, it's the fact that not only girls ovulate, guys do ovulate too. "Men also ovulate. This is the time of the month when your sperm just wants to jump out of your body and pro create", this is a very interesting fact that i've come across from internet. why don't they just coin the term "spermation" for it? don't ask me, i am troubled by this unfair treatment too.

so, what's about the ovulation in me? not to sound rude, but yeah, i think i kind of going through this process on monday, where i told my fellow friends and they just laughed it off.
"hey, i think i am going through ovulation!" i said out of nowhere.
"wth, ovulation? isn't it only for girls?" Tim or Jason asked.
"yeah, guys do ovulate! and how do you know you're hit by ovulation? pretty simple, you'll get horny, very horny i should say!!" i answered, in a very serious manner (i think).
"oh yeah, so you are trying to say that you're horny?!" whatever!!!!

exactly, you get the picture of it? very horny. but you won't see it from my face, because i am just born with a never-seem-horny-look. but in fact, i am not always horny!!!! so me, Tim and Jason were taking our lunch in Quad Food Court, UNSW, where you'll never want try the pasta twice there. i was sitting down and kept checking out everyone that passed by(as you know i eat pretty fast so i have had ample of time to do that) while i blurted out the fact of the ovulation that was happening to me. don't get me wrong, i was not thinking of anything horny at that time, i was just checking out, i don't do that often.

so the three of us started rating the girls that passed by. but too bad, when you're in urgent need of something, they just don't appear, why is that always happening in our real life? ok back to the point. Tim was warning me not to look at him! just in case i couldn't hold on to myself. lol. don't worry Tim, i am appealed to myself more than anyone else!!!

yeah, that's the story, you wouldn't want to know the details of the story after that, would you? albeit you're curious, i am not going to tell. haha.

This kinda fact made me realised the reason why sex is everywhere in sydney. i would claim Sydney as a love-deprived city but it's very proud to be a sex-is-everywhere city. yeah, that's what i've come across, not me myself, but the people around me. you can get sex easily, whenever, whoever and wherever you would like to have it. Speaking of the integration of different races, you can find the integration of different sex lifestyle here. would it be straight sex, gay sex or bi sex~~they are all happening here in Sydney, ok i know it happens in every country, but Sydney is overflowed with them.

Sometimes i just couldn't understand the fact of one night stand. Some people might claim it as an act of promiscuous, some people think it's just a way to meet your need, and some thinks that's only for fun. That's really different, depends on your upbringing. so what i am going to say is, the world is changing!!! there comes the sex, and then the love, or maybe not even the love.

maybe it's just another aftermaths of the process of ovulation where everyone is trying to get through by all means~~~
this silhouette looks so wrong!! sorry mates, i didn't mean to take it, but it just turned out to be another material that fits well in my post. haha.

Clarification

well, there is something i think i should clarify. i shouldn't name the tag as crush tag, but a best friend tag instead. there was this idea flashed through my mind to write about the crush on the tag starter herself,i am just curious, so yeah, since i know her very very well, i might as well just elaborate about it. Besides the crush, everything in the post is correct. or maybe i really have a crush on her which i didn't realise before or even until now. haha. so yeah, mic, you should be relieved reading this post. don't ever create those tags again which has caused me much hustle to untag it. haha.

ok since i have written so much about her, plus i don't have any crush to write about (i don't believe in crush, if i like a person, it won't just be a crush, but a long lasting affection), it is handy to write more about her.

she is good, she is talented, she is always organised and planned, those are the things we know about her. We became good friend since we were 15 as i have mentioned, and millions of words we have talked to each other within these years--sarcastically, heartwarming, tears-oozing, hillarious, and yankee yankee..it's not easy to keep the good friend relationship for so many years, not to mention that we have never had quarrel all these years. i have only realised this fact at this moment. cool. aha, maybe guys and girls are different, guy will hardly find or maybe girls just don't show in front of guys the bitchy part of theirs that most of the other girlfriends can hardly tolerate. haha. who knows??!!

there is something not-so-good in her, mostly for her parents. she is too independent!!! she is just too independent to be an obedient pampered little girl to her parents. aha. by the way, isn't it a good thing?aha, i don't know. here is a little story about her. she left her home in Bahau to further her secondary studies in KL since she was 13 years old. 13 years old, she was still tender at her age, wasn't she? tender in her feeling, tender in her thinking, tender in everything that i hardly think she could take up any of them when there were ostructions have ever happend in her life. Yet, she found her own life and her own world she believes she belongs to. she is doing well, even better on her own. but but but, she is still a girl with emotional moments. never overlook that.

we are still chatting a lot even though i am in australia and she is in malaysia (crap most of the time), we can still hold conversation easily whenever or wherever, as long as there are communication devices(sure la, otherwise use atennae meh?).

here comes the important part!!! when are you gona get yourself a bf????????

don't cry mic (don't cry, but at least have a little bit of tears well up in your eyes please, else it's a failure writing so much, haha)!!

let pictures do the rest.

aha, when did this happen? erm, should be 2006, during the camp.
haha, 2006, my birthday, she is so happy that birthday boy fed her (thick face)
defa birthday, eh, we have taken so many pictures.
aha, so thoughtful.

Spiderman talk

as we know, spiderman 3 is on cinema since the 3rd of May, at least that's the first premier in Australia. It's a nice show that the people all over the world are running after it, to watch the first premier of it, or to take a day off from your busy work or busy study life to see how the spiderman eliminate the bad guy and to BUILD SPIDERWEB for him and his girlfriend to date lying on the spiderweb.

it happened that one of my friend told me a biological fact and i actually went googling it out that i kept laughing while my imgination working its way out to visualise the fact itself. as all of us know, from the movie or comic itself, the silk to build up the spiderweb comes out from the hand, ok, spiderman's hand, about the wrist part.

so this is how the silk comes out from spiderman's wrist as what we have seen and have been taught for ages. Without any doubt, it's true, so true that spiderman is having even more powerful educational effect on us than the real spider. haha. to tell the truth, sometimes i will do that act (as shown in the picture) as well, kind of too used to it.

But as what my friend has told me and what i have been googling out--

All spiders produce silk, a thin, strong protein strand extruded by the spider from spinnerets most commonly found on the end of the abdomen.

In other words, or simpler words, it somehow is coming out from the bottom part of the spider, near the excretion organ i guess.

So in the case of spiderman~~

this position is just nice for me and you to picture it out. the silk is supposed to come out from that particular part of the body as what happen in a real spider.

or this~~

a backward position of how the silk is supposed to come out. and i believed it somehow makes the spiderman stronger, he can focus on the thingy on the floor while the silk coming out from the back can hold him firmly.

However, i still couldn't figure it out why the author of the comic would want to have the silk ejected out from the wrist. it looks cooler? yeah perhaps.

Levis Jeans and Diesel Jeans

i have been bored in Tim's room when he was playing Utopia and i was asleep. when i woke up, he stopped playing and we had a light a conversation, talking about how life sucks, how Uni life has screwn the life in sydney, how well Shane(me?haha, westlife's lead singer) can sing, and all of a sudden, i looked at him and told him somthing.

"Tim, i have found out something. actually i've found it out for a long while, but i realise the main purpose of it only now" i said.
"what have you found out then?"
"Levis is actually a good company which has not only come out with nice jeans but has also done a good job in preventing crimes.
"huh????????"
"yeah, look at my jeans ( i was trying to show the buttons on my jeans BUT NOT UNBOTTON THEM). i don't have a zip on my pants, but is replaced by two more buttons which i can button up my jeans instead of zipping it up..okok, the point is it's much more difficult to unbotton the jeans than to unzip it. so yeah, when somebody is trying to rape me, he/she will have to take a long time before they can actually "stain" me. that's good, at least i have time to spare to think of any ways to escape, or whether i am willing to be raped! lol"
"lol, let's take a pic" he then took out his phone and snapped a pic in that awkward position, and started blackmailing me with that picture????haha.

this is the levis jeans design. ok, let alone how the picture was taken. look at the buttons, there are three of them, and without any zips. and to tell you the truth, it's quite a nuisanse to unbotton them.
and this is Diesel Jeans, typical design of jeans, with button on the top and a zip downthere. actually there is one more disadvantage of zip jeans, you can hurt yourself when you're in a rush. guys should know well. especially those who don't like to wear undergarments.

i have a weird idea of how the design of low-waist-jeans come out. i believed that the jeans company is merged with underwear company when this design comes out. without any nice underwear, noone will ever want to wear the low waist jeans. erm, i don't have any of them, guys don't wear it i think. but frankly speaking, every of my jeans are low-waist, i always cant get my size. they discriminate 28 inches waist. sigh.

Laze around

well, i have just finished the petroleum mid test. screwed it!!!!!! i, for once in my life, studied so hard, read up all the chapters covered, but it turned out most of the questions were not from the text book. ok file closed.

i have not been updating all these days, the reason is pretty obvious, i have been so caught up with the busy uni life. actually i am supposed to revise for the next subject, but in order not to go crazy, not to addle my brain, not to make the people that love me worried(this is pretty much unnecessary), i decided to relax. i am always relax, aint i?

i have nothing to blog about today. so i will just post up some pictures.

Tim and me, drinking the guava Vodka in the uni during the petroelum engineering studnets' party. well, Tim floated his way to the next class. drunk? haha, i don't know. what do you think Tim?
yeah, this is one of my coursemate Leena. She is from Brunei, a Shell scholar. hey, the camwhoring wasn't my idea, was her idea. so yeah, nothing special, just to clarify!! hehe..
This is a picture taken by Bahi (one of my coursemate from Saudi Arabia, whom i believed is a professional photographer). The pic is nice, isn't it? They are all my coursemates!!
This is the law building in my uni. i think this is among the prettiest building in my uni. lucky law students. the interior design is magnificent. i will snap some picture by chance. (sorry kar, i will snap some pic as soon as possible).

from left hind row : Bahi, me, Ali, Tim, Wani, Khai yi, Ming hua

haha, Francois my roommate. He was putting on his Fox-costume which his mum mailed him from France. He is going to wear it in circular quay to take a pic for remembrance soon. haha. so yeah, he currently hang the costume behind the door, so he asked me out of nowhere :" are u scared? later you wake up in the midnight and look at it, you think it is real!" haha, cute~~haha, i think i should also put it on and take a pic!!! hehe..

Fish Market

On the way going to Fish Market. none of us had breakfast just to leave the room for the yummy seafood there. yeah, i eat seafood now, not because i love, just because i have to try to love it, and eat it. But actually seafood is nice if i am not allergic to them. From left, Sherene, Suchada, Katherine, Tom and KK.
Arrived at out destination after twenty minutes walk, or more than that?




Mud crab~~this is finger-licking good, trust me!!!!
oyster! it's fresh, but i dun like oyster though.



ok, the bank management is smart enough. you will need money for all the delicious seafood. no money no talk~so, the only atm machine there is definitely the most frequent visited spot than any other seafood stalls.
why dog?????? shouldn't it be a cat to make more sense? a dog is less likely fond of seafood than a cat!!!!!!

starving!!!!! Katherine was countdown'ing??..hehe.. yeah, a much bigger shade on a small face. too bad~~~ aha, fish market is located next to the harbour. so you can always see every kind of seagulls or seabirds there. this is one of them. posing for me. damn vain~~
