Beauty of Melbourne - The City Circle Tram!

Exhibition Hall opp my place

Steven almost burn down the house while cooking, and I was showering...The fire alarm went off and I thought it was Han Kiong vaccuming...Luckily it was only a while..

To think about it, cannot imagine if I had to get out from the shower half way!

What a saturday....too tired to say anything anymore!!!

If you wanna know what he cooked - Creamy Tomato and Chicken Stew

What a Saturday I have to say..and I am very very furious!

After gym, I went to dim sum with Angelene, Moon and Steven...it was a nice meal and we even tah pao a lot back for my housemates. I thought it was my lucky day because the chef actually gave us free tea.

All the fun went down the drain when we ended up quarreling with a stupid hongkee (no offence to other hongkee friends, but he is a damn a**h*** - sorry. very angry!). It was a hit and run...well, the rest of the story, read Moon's blog or Crapadise..no point repeating! But I just wanna let out something : when I questioned him - "You didn't even feel sorry, did you? You didn't apologize when we asked you, you didn't even admit it...where is humanity? It is not that we do not want to exchange details, but you should have given us your details as well (he refused to give us his information!)." He kept quiet! Later he went on complaining about his car being dented and couldn't open his door..what the hack! He knocked us and he was complaining... The witnesses came and helped us, and told us not to talk to him. She said " I am a HongKee and he is one too, don't have to talk to a person like him, few hundred bugs also he is not willing to pay, just get the police..." I truly have to admit that he is a b******! ..oh well, read moon's blog or crapadise for more details! Stupid fellow!

After complaining all the way home, Aunty Peggy, Aunty Shobha and Aunty Susan wanted to hear about the incident...so angelene and I walked from her house to QV. Well, along the way we were still cursing about the fellow. When we walked out of Paramouth, I noticed an Ang Moh on the bike, and he was cycling near us. So we gave way to him..However he was cycling around that area. It was a bright sunny day and I didn't think of anything suspicious, and we were in the middle of the city! When we came to the traffic light, the cyclist was behind us. Angelene pulled me away and we gave him way...Little did we realised that he was following us! Well...when we turned into the building, there was another crazy guy, asking for money around..we were soo careful about this crazy guy that...that cyclist caught me unaware...he touched my butt!!!!!! BLOODDY STUPID F***ING FELLOW (Now I am VERY VERY ANGRY)...how could he do that. I turned back and stared at him and yelled " What are you trying to do? What do you want!!!" Angelene thought the cyclist knocked onto me..and I was already toooo shock to react! And he went..."hey, it is ok...nothing happened, it is ok!!" BLOODY B***ARD!!! ASSHOLE!!!! (sorry about my language, this is the first time I am cursing sooo badly, but I need it!!) Before I could even do anything, he cycled away! (note: and the crazy guy went, what happened.....oh bloody fellow)

I regretted that I didn't hit him down from the bike. I regretted that I didn't hit his private part! He caught me unaware and that crazy man diverted our attention..STUPID ME....I should have done something to the cyclist. Come to think of it, we should be more careful, even when we are in the MIDDLE Of the city with sooo many pedestrians!!! SO many ppl!!!!! He doesn't even look like a pervert....Ah..this world is full of perverted people, full of crazy people! Maybe I should not wear mini skirt today...but izit a sin to wear mini skirt? I didn't have anything obscene...nothing too exposed..had my jacket...sigh, then I should just wear jubbah, that would cover me from top to bottom!!

What an unlucky day to have...my adrenaline level must be very high today...and after soo many incidence, all my dim sum also digested liao..and my plan to go to gym also cancelled liao...I was soo tired yelling, arguing and quarreling, that when Angelene and I went to lodge a police report, we couldn't talk anymore....it is very rarely that you would hear both of us soo quiet walking along the street. Usually, we bring our noise everywhere we go..

Oh well....Girls, this is a warning... be careful even if you are walking along Swanston Street, at even a bright sunny day like today. Watch out and I don't want anyone to have the same experience as I do!!!

sit down, relax and enjoy!

Was looking at the Redang pictures that my family went last week...and I realised I miss my family a lot...not only my immediate family, but the in-laws, out-laws and the associates....
It has been a family tradition to go to Redang EVERY school holidays...and before I left Malaysia, I was part of the gang...I remembered we had soooo much fun, even by looking at the pictures now, I know I am missing a lot of fun! The whole family, is just part of me, they are in my blood...we spent a lot of time together..holidays, birthday celebrations, or even simple dinner. I am just grateful I have such a lovely family...I do not deny that there are no family matters, but I suppose and hope all these will make the bond stronger. No one can, no one should take the happiness away.

Another thing I realised was that my sister have grown...she has grown a lot, I mean, she is not a little girl anymore, even my cousins...they are all growing up and it made me realise that I am getting older..(opps...am I wiser? I don't think so!! haha...). Anyway, they will always be my lovely younger sisters and brothers in my heart... unconditional love!

Anyway, they had their fun, I had my fun as well =P...I went out with my 3 best friends today. I was very very down lately and they were there to cheer me up, to give me support, to just be there to listen to all my nonsense and answer all my crappy questions...we went to a cafe and had our sticky date pudding, and crap the whole night! Thanks guys..I know u were trying to make me happier, but yeah...it is me who is not moving on..I am trying to...and I know life has to go on.....don't worry!!!

每天，看著鏡中的自已，叫一聲自己的名字，並說一次：「我愛妳，我完完全全接受妳現在的樣子。」


摘自：雙月書屋，愛太多的女人會受傷

Well, it looks like cupid has done a very very bad job lately...I have been talking to a lot of friends lately, and a lot of them are either love sick or sick of love...

Poor Sunnie, trying to get out of love..but I admire your strength, your determination to just focus on your studies and totally forget about that unmature clown...I am sure you would get over it..and he is not worth u crying for...
Pooh bear...I know you have been waiting, but if you have already waited for soo long..and if waiting makes you feel better..continue waiting! To be honest, I think you chose to wait and not walked out of him..
Carebear...it breaks my heart to just see you falling over the wrong person....i really really sincerely hope that you would find someone worth you loving....be patient, because you are such a lovely and wonderful gal!
Sunflower.....sometimes it is just best to listen to him, just be there to support him....you are not sick of love..but you just love him too much that you don't know what to do..stay strong and I will be around if you need a shoulder! Believe in love!!
Little kaimui....dun be soo depressed...he just love you too much that he doesn't know how to express it..ba patient and well....the only thing I can say is why try to understand what he is going through?
The little heart voice....it hurts but love is everything, that's why! You decide!! and I will be around for u!
Tidus...glad that you are moving on...glad that you are not wasting your time, and good luck

So, all of you are not alone...a lot of us are going through the same thing, and i just want you, my dear friends to know that I will be around if you need an extra ear or a shoulder.....on the lighter side, blame the cupid!!! He is blind....too blind to shoot...

Alrighty...need to get ready for class!!!

Brothers fined over 'dangerous' food
By Steve ButcherAugust 20, 2004URL: http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/08/19/1092889279539.html

Don't ever eat there anymore!!!!!!

Had coffee with Chew and Jenny today at Max Benner, well I should say I was impressed by their marketing, but I don't think their drinks are really nice...well, that is not so important..
On the way back, I saw an old lady begging for two men to buy something. As I approached her, she was selling some food and apparently the fund goes to the old folks home she came from. The poor ah mar had to beg these two men to buy but they were undecicive..poor ah mar!! Immediately, I bought a packet of pohpiah and dim sum from her and left.

The money might not really goes to the old folks home, and that is why I choose to believe that the 2 men had this doubt. However, I would rather believe totally that the money goes to charity. At least I know I had done my best to help...whether it goes to the right place or not, it doesn't matter anymore!

Thinking about this, I remembered there used to be a man who came to Uni and collected donations from us every week. We got soooooooo irritated that whenever we saw him, we ignored him...It was a little too much to get donations every week..I think once in a while is OK..however, today I wonder..where has this man gone to? Could it be all these while the money that we had donated did not go to charity and he had conned us??...well, it doesn't matter anymore...as long as we did our part!

More sunset!

Li Yen's bday Prezzie

got some pics today from the apartment, but too bad, the building was blocking the sun!

All right, moon - your request!

Hey guys, I have added another blog, and in this blog, you would find recipes that I have tried!

Enjoy the Sin-Free Pleasures!

Note: you would also find the link on the right hand side of this blog!

All right, I give up!

I tried to "upgrade" my blog: re-skin it, sub-categorise it, but MISSION FAILED! I guessed it is too time consuming and I should be concerntrating on my studies... It is not easy, to put all the best things into one, what more create a dream blog! It looks like I will need to leave it till my holidays before I start exploring again...urrgh

Can u see the thorn among the roses? Hmm..where have all the other thorns gone to?

So many things had happened over the week...and yeah..the ball, assignment..and some unwanted things happened... I have wanted to to blog about everything that happened, but it is just too much. Everyday, it is like never ending...oh well, if you wanna know about the ball, read moon's and Kerhoong's blog...and the rest of the stuff, I will do it tomorrow
need my beauty sleep!

It is the first time since I came to Melbourne that I was glued to the TV, I was glued to the Olympics, a couch potato....I have to clarify that I am not a fan of sports, I don't play a lot of sports; but definitely a fan of watching them, especially the swimming, diving and gymnastic!

I noticed that they have been playing again and again the winning scenes : The scene where Ian Thorpe won his 200m freestyle and had his fist in the air when he saw the score board; Also showing was the event where Ian Thorpe and Grant Hackett swept the gold and silver medal in the 400m freestyle; the other scene being repeated is the women swimmers from 4x100m freestyle, they were roaring and celebrating their victory of winning the gold medal and breaking the record ;and they keep repeating the race where Sara Carrigan crossed the finishing line in road cycling.... These are the events that made the Aussie proud, the atheletes are the real Australian Idols!

However, it is human nature to boast about the best and keep quiet about the bad. There are very little, very very little coverage on the 4x100m freestyle relay, both in TV and newspaper. The Australian team finished off at the 6th place, way behind what they expected. They didn't even win a medal which shocked the whole nation. Even the Americans, which were suppose to have fast swimmers collected bronze medal. It was the event of the South Africans, in which they also broke the world record set by the Australians in Sydney 2000. I want to see this event sooo badly, want to see how the Aussie was defeated, want to see how the South African smashed the record, but sitting in front of the TV almost the whole day didn't help.

I understand the feelings of being defeated, being smashed out badly. The team has the fatest swimmer: Ian Thorpe and Grant Hackett, but yet ended up 6th. It is definitely hard for the team to swallow the defeat, what more the nation. But the irony is that, they keep showing the basketball match. The match which the American "Dream Team" was beaten by Puerto Rico: 92-73. I watched it last night, and again, they were showing it this morning! Yes, this was a very shocking match, and it still is! This is the 1st time NBA team lost since they started playing in the Olympics at Barcelona 1992. The humilating part is that, they even beaten Puerto Rico two weeks ago in Florida with 96-71....and the TV Channels are showing the match again and again...and I started to get bored of the rewinding. Irony, irony, irony! How could they, repeat the nightmare of the Dream Team, where the Americans are feeling the pain; and not showing their own nightmare...it is like adding the salt to the wound of the Americans and wearing a mask on the injured Kangaroos..

I guess this is what life is all about...be proud of your achievement, never show your weaknesses and also looking and evaluate your opponents' mistake. But I think we should have and always, look into our own faults brightly, laugh at our own mistake and learn from them...

Getting back to my TV: Women Beach Volleyball - The ex-2000-olympic host vs the current host!

August!!! The Leos' and the Virgos' Celebration!! Which also mean that I will have a hole in my pocket soon!!

Well, actually I sorta miss birthdays, especially birthdays in Switzerland. Those birthdays celebrated there was the most wonderful birthdays that I have experienced... the celebration actually started before the big day. We were asked, mind you, ASKED to list down our Wish-list. You could wish for anything in the world (material things)...the list can be as short as one wish or as long as infinity wishes! You won't get everything of course, but hey...it sounded like santa on your birthday!

I still remember celebrating Sara's birthday. It was just 2 weeks after I arrived in the family and I was extremely excited. Besides, it was her 18th birthday. A birthday that symbolises freedom and adulthood, the day that she can begin to sign all legal documents and need not permissions from parents to do anything; it also meant that she has to be responsible for everything she does, and have to learn how to support herself financially.

Mutti baked cake for her, got her a lot of presents, and after 12 am, she was not allow to come out from the room. Mutti and Daddy would set up a table in the living room. All her prezzie (most of the stuff from the wish-list) filled the little table, with her birthday cakes. I could remember Mutti telling me, there must be 5 things on the birthday table : Birthday cake, presents, flowers, chocolate or something sweet, and candles...and all of the 5 things were laid nicely. It was soooo sweet and unforgetable. Mutti would plan this for days, and she wouldn't miss a single thing. After 4 and the half years, I could still remember the table very clearly. Sara had hers next to the winter garden, and I had mine next to the fireplace!

The next morning, we all had to wake up early: we sang birthday songs, ate the cakes, open the prezzie and also read all the cards...then off everyone went....

That's what I love about birthdays...simple, sentimental and yet meaningful! I am waiting for my next birthday in Switzerland!

Another sleepless night! But this time, I was reading a book (hah! finally!!! I don't remember the last time reading...)

The book is by Tony Parsons - Man and Boy. I shall not bore you guys with the summary or anything, but there is something rather interesting that I would like to share. It is one of Moon's favourite...and I hope you guys like it!

Maybe the thing with Cyd had started off as some dumb infatutation when I was still reeling from Gina leaving me. But after we slept together for the first time it really wasn't like that any more. Because Cyd's mouth fit mine in a way that no other mouth ever had - not even Gina's mouth.

I'm not kidding - Cyd's mouth was a perfect fit. Not too hard, not too soft, not too dry, not too wet, not too much tongue and not too little. Just perfect.

I had kissed her before of course, but this was different. Now when we kissed, I wanted it to go on forever. Our mouths could have been made for each other. And how often can you say that? How often do you find someone whose mouth is a perfect fit for your mouth? I'll tell you exactly - once. That's how many times.

There's a lot of nice people in the world, a million people who you could fall in love with. But there's only one person out there whose mouth is a perfect fit.

Well, now you tell me, have you found one? Do you think it fits yours? I don't know but I am sure I have not found anyone! =)...and I hope you find yours!

Now Playing : Stacie Orrico - Don't look at me

I was asked to read this:

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2004/8/9/nation/8621715&sec=nation

and I was told to open a restaurant!!

Haha, my answer would be: yes, I would do something similar.... to open a cafe, but that is when I have totally nothing to do - if i can't find a job, and if I am too rich to work...!!!

Now listening : Eva Cassidy - Time after time


Was reading Moon's blog and...and part of it goes...

love is everywhere... cupid must have been busy shooting arrows lately! the thing is, why can't he shoot properly, why does he just simply shoot and then leave a mess to our heart?....

well..i kinda agree with her....sometimes life is just soooo unfair....It is never fair...I am not complaining but...if God create a man, why can't he create the right woman....and why do we need to search for the right piece of jigsaw puzzle..it has always been tiring..just imagine trying to fit 999 pieces to the 1 piece!!!!

crap!

made some crappy new friends today..and one of them had this funny ideology

if people believe in many Gods, do they go to many heavens?

haha..if only there are many Gods and many heavens!!! But I do believe in God, but religionwise....not sure yet!!!

crap!!!!!

I was down with flu for a few days, and got better today. When Pei Chin heard that I got better, her first reaction was....next time I won't be quiet anymore...hahaha...upon hearing that, I wondered if it was positive and negative..and she went "(prefer you to be) noisylar of course, then got someone to teman me" ..Alamak! like that also can!

Crap crap crap!!!!

Sent Yit Phang to the airport today ...felt a little empty when he left, I know I will miss him, for the pass three weeks I have been accompanying him around Melbourne...I admit I am feeling tired and sick...but I honestly enjoyed his company...alright cousin..will visit you in LA..soon...(don't ask me when!)......and now...finally I have time to get my stuff sorted, and also to reflect back on what had happened...

I was rather disappointed yesterday...was kinda down and upset...I sort of blamed myself for caring too much over other people...and when the people I cared treated me badly, or rather I should say they were inconsiderate, I was upset...I didn't mean to expect anything from them... I didn't expect them to care about me...but why treat me so? Maybe yeah..I was not care free enough..I was too tensed...I consider too much of the other...I cared too much of other people and neglected my own needs.....I almost gave up on humanity and being caring...but being disappointed doesn't mean I should stop caring for others!!!

Today, I was awaken by the lovable and caring people around me.....There are so many wonderful people...

• Moon...she is alwaz there to just listen, to just care, to accompany me, to give me strenght...she gave me sooo much hope to just carry on with what I am doing..
• Angel...although I hardly spend time with her lately, I know she is always there to give me support...we have the same brainwave...
• ET......not an alien, a wonderful friend and neighbour that I can bully. I know you will be reading this..hehe...but hey..I didn't mean to take anything for granted...you are just tooo great!
• Grace (I wonder since when does she have the name...I firgured that out from friendster) has been listening to all my secrets and crappy stories lately....
• Sherly..too wonderful...too caring.....always wonder if I am doing alright..
• Ann..my cousin in Perth..although far away, she forces me to go to sleep and to rest more.....and also listen to all my crappy secrets...hehe
• Han Kiong..my housemate...very considerate of him to steam the chicken for me instead of frying it...since I am sick!!
• Kerhoong....she called today..although not always around, but I know she cares...and I took her car today to fetch Yit Phang to the airport..... thanks
• Jessica....She cares and I know....but bad me...always got no time to give her a call
• Jin....also forces me to sleep....=P...and listen to all my complains (but I am not gonna compalin anymore)
• Pui Li...wanted to bring some tea up for me....
• Karine..my ex housemate..have been wondering and complaining why I have no time for her lately....opps..sorry....you can have all the time now since Yit Phang has left...
• all my "grandchildren"....
• of course...my parents, my kaima, my aunties and uncles and cousins..My host family........I know they all love me....unconditional love!! You get my unconditional love as well!

and the list goes on......well..so, it is not sooo bad afterall..I am surrounded by soo many thoughtful, understanding, kind and loving people around me....I should be grateful instead!

Thanks my friends....(if your name is not there, you can scold me...hehe...!!!)

It was a beautiful day yesterday and I ended up at a St Kilda beach alone....kinda sad and lonely because all my friends were not keen in going out. Either they have plans, or they rather be at home.... I thought it was a pity to stay at home, so I went out, wearing a mini skirt with my newly bought boots!!!!

Gosh...I totally didn't realise that the beach is much more colder than the city. Well..I chose to be vain (to show off my nice new boots) and didn't dress warm enough. People around were basically dressed with thick jackets and scarves...and there I was, a vain pot!!! But the scenery is good, I got some nice shots. Later I went to the shops around there and sat down for my latte...considering that I didn't have my lunch, I ordered a strawberry tart...or I should rather say, there were soooo many cakes and tarts there, and I was tempted to eat...I couldn't resist the sinful temptation!!

The day ended with me standing on the bridge for 30 minutes, to get some shots of the sun set...and it was freezing cold. By the time I got on the tram, I was glad...and I learnt my lesson of the day - DRESS PROPERLY....

Although it was kinda lonely to walk alone...but yeah..it was great...my mind wondered around..searching for my soul..have lots of thoughs...thought about what I want, thought about what I wanna do....but then...I didn't manage to answer any of my questions and doubts......I would probably do it again...this time I shall go to Williamstown!
