So I'm not going home afterall!

As I start sharing the news, people ask (including my parents) "How do you feel? Are you sad?" 

Well, as much as I miss my family, Molly and my dear friends. I honestly do not mind for a single second just lazing about, doing whatever I want, chilling at cafes and having Italian dinners, jogging at the park, taking Rummer for walks and a few relaxing trips to the mall of course! I've had a rough month preparing for exams and this is the break I need. Travelling back home will mean frantically shopping last minute, packing, boarding the plane all by my lonesome self for 8 hours only to be quarantined in a hotel for 5 days. And by the time I come back I only have 2 days to settle down before another semester of Bachelor of Hell-on-Earth starts. Not that its not worth it to see my bloods and homies but gosh, I'm honestly really tired. I want everything to slow down please!! Is there a slow motion button on life? Rhetorical question. I'm just trying to sound optimistic for once haha.

And yeap, that's exactly what I wanna do. My parents are being super nice to me though. They said I can plan my own holiday to do whatever I want (even go to Brisbane or Sydney for a short holiday) eventhough I burned a one way ticket back home (too late to postpone) but yeah, I'm just gonna spend my money on coffee and the ocassional pretty thing I see. I might even drag Kane to the beach eventhough its freezing just to spend the whole day watching waves roll. NO COMPLAINTS. :D

(Oh and the Sims. I'm putting this in brackets because this spoils the kind-of sentimentalness of the post)

See you guys in Malaysia at the end of the year! I still miss each and everyone of you noisy nutcases!

P/S: The wind is crazy here at night! Its freezing cold at night and when the wind blows there are Wooo Woooo sounds. Not my cup of tea. :S

 Today I saw an old couple on the tram, chatty, loving and still full of life. I wonder if one day I will get to experience such old love? 

Will I go through the thick and thins of life with the love of my life?  Even if the glow on our skin is faded, the fancy heels burried beneath loafers and the sex has gone along with the flat stomach and biceps, will we still hug and talk about our day before we go to bed?

Or will the love of my life perish prematurely, without a sign.. or even slowly; Or will I be left.. left for another woman? Or walk out on my own will? Will my love turn into resentment? Will I grow old.. alone?

I love reading and hearing about love stories. Some are tragic and some are heart-warming. Each and every one is different.

I'm just curious..

How will mine be told?

Finally, my exams are over!!

My last paper was actually very easy for the super heard subject, many many people walked out before time was due, but I was still kinda struggling abit cos I was very demotivated to study towards the end... Sigh. I really hope and pray that I can pass this paper, then all is well.

Anyway, after I came out of the hall, my friend said "MICHAEL JACKSON DIED." Of course my first reactionw was "WHAT? Fake one la!"  Then when I called Kane:

Kane: I'm very sad, my hero died today
Me: MICHAEL JACKSON?? ITS TRUE?? REALLY AH.

On the way home my dad called to talk about the trip and he also "expressed his sadness over the passing of a true legend". So it was true!

Now everyone's like, MJ was the best and all the comments on how good he was are just flying around everywhere, but when he was alive, especially the past few years, everybody just pointed at him and called him a freak, at what strange things he does and weird things he wears to court; and call him the meanest thing - Wacko Jacko. Anyway, my point is.. I just realised how two-faced can people be!

Though I wasn't a huge fan (like my dad I think), my favourite MJ song is Billie Jean. Just a random fact lol.

RIP Michael Jackson. Its scary how can life just end when no one expects it to. I thought he would live to be a very old man.. Life is unpredictable. And short.

Sigh.

Oh well, The Sims 3 here I comes.

 Okay, last paper on Friday, hardest subject as well. And after going through 3 grueling papers, I don't know why but I feel more relaxed than I actually should, so relaxed that I am blogging instead of crying on the streets out of fear.

After this paper, I'll be free for about 3 weeks (students from other courses usually get about a month or more but the Pharmacy faculty is kiasu) and I acutally bought my plane ticket home! I wanted to give my friends a surprise but now because of the swine flu situation, I don't think I can make it back home without being quarantined for a week. And I only have 2 weeks!! That means I'll only have one week to go out and stuff, which is seriously not enough time for much. :( I'd still go home anyway, but my dad says no because my whole family has to be quarantined as well, and papa says might get swine flu on the plane. I seriously don't understand what the media is feeding the Malaysian public, like its a HUGE SCARE. But here in Melbourne, hardly anyone wears a mask even. Anyway, so he proposed a 3 options:

A) Go back but go stay myself in a hotel for a few days (aka self quarantine). Then return home if I don't show any flu-like symptoms.
B) Go to other parts of Australia instead to visit friends. Hi Laur/Gem
C) Don't go anywhere and play the Sims 3 like a fat Asian nerd (which I am at the moment)

And you know what, I'm happy with either option, the decision will be made by my dad (whether I go home or not) but things are leaning towards a nay to go home. :( But I made a lsit of what I can do back home anyway:

1. Dye my awful hair. Roots are showing like an Ah Lian
2. Eat like a pig (like I don't here)
3. Get another ear piercing. Long overdue. This time I don't care what Papa or Mama say.
4. Redo my IC
5. Drive around, with an AVANZA YO. I'm gonna drive a big ass car.
6. Eat high class food with the parentals. ENOUGH SAFEWAY FOOD. LOL.
7. See my Grandmama and Grandpapa. I miss them loads!! :(
8. See the crazy Molly.
9. And friends!!!!!
10. MAMAAAAK. Seriously, I'm dying to say "Teh Ais satu, bang!!" The Teh Ais here is damn expensive, like 2.5dollars which is about (whatever 2.5x2.7 is) Ringgit. And it doesn't beat the one at home la ok. 

But if I don't go home...

1. THE SIMS 3 YOYOYO whaddup.
2. Get to be with my little Rummer boy. He is walk-deprived at the moment. And sleeping on my bed. We are 2 fat beings of different species.
3. Hopefully the parents will give me some extra money to go shop heeheee!!! *EVIL GLEE*
4. Plus Kane will be back in 6 days after my exams (YES HE'S HOME. AND HE DRANK COFFEE BEAN. WHAT A MUTHA-)

Le sigh. I shall await the final conclusion from the all-mighty morphing power ranger - my father. I have seriously no idea why I said that. Weird.

Anyway, if I don't go, I set a few realistic goals for myself:

1. Learn how to knit. 
I know it sounds grandma but I want to knit my own scarf. And if it turns out well, I shall give to my fwens. ^__^ But most of my friends in are in a hot, tropical country so when they receive the scarf they will be like WTF?? but I don't care. ^_____________^

2. Go jogging everyday (okay, maybe every alternate day)
Been binging on chocs too much. Ask Debbie about my roundness. Lolz.

3. Bring Rummer for a daily walk 
Can be combined with 2 I suppose

4. Clean up my apartment.
I feel like I live in a dump. By the way, when I was cooking yesterday and I left the window open, I think some dumbass fly flew in and now its flying everywhere like is so fucking fun. and I kept trying to kill it but I keep failing. Its so annoying. One day I shall and in the process I will yell, "IS DYING FUN HUH??? HUH??" Violence.

5. Speaking of violence, FINISH GTA SA.
Yes I still haven't finished it, cos I can't pass this mission lar, anyone wanna help me?? :( I swear its one of the last missions.

Yeap. I think thats all I can think of at the moment. Oh wait, and kill the fucking fly. DAMN IT I HATE FLIES.

I'm so not prepared for my next exam, but I'm chilling out. Sigh.

Oh look at the time!! ITS CHOCOLATE TIME!!! NOMNOMNOM.

Before I begin with my awful lot of physiology studyload, I'd like to take this time to do what I do best - complain!

In the past week, I've come to learn that I'm best friends with painkillers. Okay okay, I know I sound damn freaking emo but I assure I'm not a pill-popping junkie with constantly dilated pupils and black eyeliner spam+black tears, Its just that I've been getting some sort (and some days multiple sorts) of pain every single day! Most days I have a migraine, last night I had the worst pain on my knee due to the cold weather, my back is always aching or uncomfortable and now I'm having cramps while typing this! And that is probably the reason I sound super cranky.

ARGHH. Why. Waaaaaiiii. Wai mast be liddat. I is hate!!!!!!!!!

One confession : I feel like my sense of humor is slipping away!

Hi Gaiss!!

I feel guilty because I haven't been updating my blog much, calling back home as often and catching up with my fwens as often. The week just passes by so damn quickly and my time management skills are hopeless, I feel like I do nothing for most of the days. So anyways, just a quick update!

I have 2 tests tomorrow, and I haven't really studied much, which is bad obviously. And when I'm studying for some strange reason I end up here, blogging. My exams are in 2 weeks and I am very very stressed out, I am so afraid that I'll fail this semester and I can't go home, WORST NIGHTMARE. Thats the only thing that motivates me to get started. And yeah, the worst part of studying is getting started, and because I am the queen of procrastination, things are stalled and piled up. I feel scared even talking about it.

Random things in point form:

- I think my cooking skills are improving! I cooked chicken porridge today. My mother would be so proud.
- I've been eating chocolate everyday and every morning I struggle to button my jeans.
- My study mate happens to be the laziest, most distracting piece of sleepy lump I've ever met:


- I found Maggi mee curry in the Asian grocer. A 5-pack is almost 4 dollars = almost RM12. I eat it very very slowly to save for emergencies.
- I drink 3 cups of coffee a day
- I went to Camberwell market (secondhand goods) and I bought loads of shit!!!!! Yeaahh
- I've been procrastinating to buy my boots and now I have no more money to buy it this month. And I need it this month.
- Its so cold outside nowadays, ocasionally sunny, it can be really foggy even - another excuse to not go to lectures
- I still have not quit the habit of skipping lectures
- Rummer got another garmet - a knitted sweater, he looks like a spoilt English boy in it. (pic above) (My mum will kill me if she saw a pic of him on my bed, or him for that matter.)
- Rummer farts, snores and likes to sleep on his back on beds and bean bags. He's trying to be human.
- I think I'm going to start my work now. Lol.

.. After some hot choc. <33

Miss all of you!

Its been almost 2 months since I've left home. Strangely enough, I only really really really start missing home lately. The first few weeks being here felt very liberating. I had no problems starting to cook for myself (but most of the time I have ham and cheese sandwich, LOADS OF HAM AND LOADS OF CHEESE. Only when Kane is around I will try to cook up something to impress him, and then I will pester him for 15 minutes asking him whether the food is nice by yelling NICE OR NOT NICEORNOTNICEORNOTTTT, which usually he quickly nods probably fearing that I will unleash my fury if he says its not nice), do housework, laundry and grocery shopping (so heavyy) by myself. But the only thing I had problems coping with is the fact that I am living all alone. Coming from a home with a family of 5 crazy loud people, it just feels so weird being all alone, so quiet. Sometimes I switch on the tv and do other things just because I want some noise., but sometimes my neighbour plays his electric guitar, like now he's playing One by Metallica I think. I like guessing the song. Anyway, that's one of the reasons I got Rummer - to keep my company! And just to escape that weirdness of living alone, I camp at Kane's during the weekend, along with Rummer so he can play with his friends!

University is soo difficult. My course has crazy hours, and crazy homework. And I don't know if I mentioned, I missed a test that costed me 5% of my final mark; and 1% cos I missed a tute (overslept) LOL. I know la, I hate myself for these stupid things. I promise myself I won't let subject myself to such shit again. The hardest part of the day is always waking up in the cold. Its just like, I cannot get up because its so freezing cold and I just want to stay in my warm quilt. Anyway, so now I'm just catching up with my subjects. Exams are in June. Ahh!! I'm seriously seriously majorly terrified. And my old habit is still very much with me - laziness, procrastination, internet addiction =__=. 

Its so freaking cold here (currently 5 degrees Celcius outside). Back in Malaysia I never ever checked the weather forecast. And the one fine day that I probably will is when I am getting married. LOL. Anwyay, its so bloody cold here that I am drinking like, 3 cups of hot coffee everyday and Rummer is freezing his little butt off. I recently bought a heater and he LOVES it. Everytime he's infront of the heater he falls asleep. One time he was sitting infront of the heater looking at me, and he started to fall asleep ala my first vlog style (like, head bopping) and he actually fell to the ground HAHAHHAHAHAHA. Funny puppy he is. Now he's snoring behind me. He's growing so fast I don't think I can contain him in that pen anymore, he'll be able to jump out of it and all hell will break loose because when he is bored and alone, he automatically goes from sweet little pup to DESROY-EVERYTHING-IN-SIGHT-MODE. I took him for his first walk outside today. I think he's still scared of the outside world, I had to pull him out of the apartment and when he was on the streets he kept wanting to sit down. WEIRD. But it went pretty well. Usually I borrow Sarah (Kane's roommate)'s puppy carrier when I go to Kanes but because the last time I had way too much things to carry, I just popped him into my bag (Paris Hilton style) and hopped onto the tram. Luckily he's the sort who gets sleepy on the road so YAY! I can officially carry him around like an accessory when I go over to Kane's. Next week he'll be able to meet other dogs (yes, Lauranne, I WILL FIND GRUG. I WILL NEVER GIVE UP) I'm sooo excited. He got his vaccinations last week (costed $75) and he squealed like a little girl!! And then he pounced on me, sort of begging me to protect him from the vet. LOL.

Okay, I'm blabbing alot because I'm in a talky talky mood but I have nobody to talk to. I have so much bloody work to do and I'm hungry. Another ham and cheese sandwich plus coffee I suppose. Oh I have salad and kiwi. My dumb kiwi is taking forever to ripe. RIPE YOU FUCKING KIWI. I AM GETTING VERY IMPATIENT. 

I miss homee.. I miss weekend family dinners at restaurants. T___T I am so hungry now. My brother got a PS3. I don't knwo if I mentioned. I am so jealous. I get passed down things. My youngest brother passed down a Gameboy SP to me and his PSP to my other brother. I hope that someday it will get passed up to me (I know this system is messed up but I never asked for these things, I only use them to play "gay games" likee Harvest Moon. In case you don't know what is the game about, its about farming. Yes I like farming and pharming. Aha I am so funny right). Great.

Thanks for listening to my super long blab post. Have a nice day!

Heeyy,

Its been awhile since I've done a proper update!! And being typical me, I am blogging using my allocated study time! Hahha. Well, so much has happened since my last update and I don't quite know how to pick up from where I left off.

So let me break some MAJOR news here:

Kane and I officially have a puppy.

Yes, this is no April Fool's joke. I didn't blog about this earlier because I felt sooo guilty. And also I wanted to surprise Lauranne when she came down to Melbourne. I've been through so many shocked faces and every one of them makes me feel so guilty. And yes my parents don't know (and won't know until next year when I'm allowed to have one). Typical convo:

Me: I got a dog.
Friend: WHAATT?? Whyy?
Me: Because I miss taking care of a dog, and I want company.
Friend: But you've been here for only a month!!!
Me: I know.
Friend: .. and you got a dog?
Me: Yes.
Friend: Your apartment allow pets?
Me: No.
Friend: Then how?
Me: Don't care lor.
Friend: Oh.. okay. So what breed is it?
Me: Jack Russell cross Maltese. But it looks exactly like Jack Russel, just abit furrier.
Friend: Awwww. So cute! Whats its name?
Me: Rummer.
Friend: ... What is that
Me: Its a name
Friend: Why Rummer?
Me: Because he looks like a Rummer. And its a cute name.
Friend: But what on earth is a Rummer?
Me: I don't know, I made it up.

So! From the above conversation, I'm pretty sure I've answered ALL your questions because I have repeated that convo at least 15 times. LOL. I think I'm the only one who thinks Rummer is a super cute name for him. Everyone expects a name like.. Cloudy/Rocky/Spot/Spike/Sugar/Ginger/Chi-Chi/Choo-Choo/Miao-Miao (by the way, how many hamsters in this world are named Hammy????) and when they hear Rummer they're like WTF? And when I tell them his full name which is, Rummer Jack Russell Junior Robertson Tan (R.J.R.Jr.T), they are like WTFx8. Kane added the Junior just because its Jr. complements the Jack russell part (If you get it) and Robertson is his formal name ok. Tan is because of Kane Tan. Why la his surname cannot start with an R, like.. I dunno. Roo. LOL. Well, at least his name is unique. :D 

Rummer is a pretty good pup. Since I got him, which was about 2 weeks ago, he can now understand the commands "sit, stay, come here, down (almost)" and he potties 70% in the right place! The thing is when I go out of the house, he whines, barks and howls. He likes knowing that someone is there. I can't wait for him to get his vaccinations done so I can take him out for walks. The past week was Easter break and he was at Kane's place for a week with 2 other dogs, Timmy and Zoe. At first he was so petrified by them. He was literally shaking with fear. And after a few hours, he was pouncing on them trying to get them to play with him. He can be so fierce when the other dogs don't wanna play with him. But when he's alone with humans he's so quiet and most of the time he likes to sit down and day-dream. He's very greedy too. One day he found his food in a plastic bag. He chewed the bag open and started eating quietly. I was on the computer and when I looked behind and I didn't see him. He was hiding somewhere eating his food illegally. LOL.

And also Lauranne came her for Easter Break! Unfortunately I only spent a day with her. But it was funsies! 



We also took an epic fail picture outside the Melbourne GPO but due to my really, really really bad Facebook navigation skills, I could not locate her album. Sigh.


Just to justify why I didn't update my blog for freaking ages - 

1. I missed a mid-semester test on Monday. Don't ask me why. I'm traumatised.
2. I had 2 tutorial sheets to complete by Tuesday
3. I had 2 online-assesments due on Wednesday
4. I had 2 assignments due on Friday

All this happened on the same week!!

The weather is so crummy and cold now. Disgusting. Wtf. I just saw a man with rding a bike with feathers on his helmet and he's yodling while cycling. WTF. In Melbourne, I see so many more crazies on the streets. Judging by how much they drink, er.. that's probably why.

Okay, more workies to do. :(

After being away from home for more than a month, I realise that besides missing my famfam, Molly and my friends, 

I MISS MY ESPRESSO MACHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MY WALK IN CLOSET

AND PAN MEEEEEEEEEE WITH THE SMELLY SAMBAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND ONE UTAMA. I FREAKING MISS ONE UTAMA.

TOPSHOP. MISS SELFRIDGE. LA SENZA.

CHAR KUEY TIAOHAOHAOOOOOOOOOOO.

PASAR MALAMZ.

IKEA CURRY PUFF.

FOOD THAT IS ACTUALLY SPICY. (The Australians lie when they say 'chilli')

This is depressing.

Okay people, I am here STRICTLY for blogging only. really, I'm not lying......... realllyyyy.. I just got 2 new books that cost a BOMB. And I feel rally excited to study it because I love new books. <33 and I should start revising. I hate attending lectures, I prefer reading than listening, and asking if I'm unsure, ask me to listen in a lecture and my imagination will run wild. Like today I was imagning myself getting the Jack Russel x Maltese puppy I saw in the pet store. He is so cute. Sigh. </3 I miss Molly like crazy too. I dreamt that she got lost yesterday and I cried and cried and went all over the place including the rubbsih dump to find her. I dont' know why, I think because Molly loves rubbish. She likes to go to the rubbish bin to look for food. Once she ate fish from the bin and got rashes; 2 weeks ago she ate chilli from the bin and was crying from the heat. Sigh, my little paria dog.

I am now blogging when I actually should be in a lecture. But the guy was too boring and he was reading off the slides so I thought, "screw this shits" and left before the second lecture started. It was about Pharmacists legal mumbo jumbo. Gross. But yeah, just to justify my actions, I had to go pay my bills, buy my monthly tram ticket, get my books and buy a cup of coffee before the shops close. I was dying for coffee and when I finally got a cup and took my first sip, I was probably making orgasmic expressions on the street.

Great! So yesterday was April Fools. I hope you guys had fun pranking the shit out of each other. I remember April Fools used to be so fun back in the early days of school, where people will call me in the morning when I'm still in a daze and tell me bullshit and go APRIL FOOLS! Then as the years go by, it started getting really annoying when people make really lame pranks, then now, the pranks and all totally disappeared. I didn't even witness a single prank or joke going on in my class. I sort of did one, I was in the lab yesterday making some mixture and it required me to weigh some powder. I couldn't find my spatula so I took the huge spatula, which looks like a damn cake knife. When I was about to scoop the powder out of the jar with my cake knife, the instructor came up behind me and went "WOAAAH THATS A HUGE SPATULA." embarrased, I pretended to put the cake knife away and mumbled 'April Fools" under my breath. Then I stole someone else's spatula.

When I came home I decided to pull a prank on my parents. I called Kane on MSN so that he could hear everything. Then I called mother.

Me: Hi mum!!
Mother: Hi dear! How are you?
Me: I'm fine thanks. Hows everything?
Mother: Okay, we miss you.
Me: Mum, I have to tell you something..
Mother: What..
Me: Mum, I just bought a dog today.
Mother: Huh?
Me: I bought a puppy today mum. Its so cute!!
Mother: Aiyo girl, why? How can you have a dog? You live in a studio flat! *tells father in background: she BOUGHT alreadyyyy"
Me: Caaaaaannn..
Father: *in the background* aiYOOOOOOOOOOH. <-- he does that only when I've done something fatally wrong. *angry mumbles*
Mother: Why you want a dog? To keep you company is it.. aiyo girl ahh...
Me: APRIL FOOLS!!!!!!!!!
Mother: Huh.. April Fools ah.
Me: AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA ALOLOLOLOLOLOLAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA!!!!!!
Mother: Aiyo, haha, you know dad almost hit the curb. He's driving. Good one though.
Me: AHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

Damn it though, if my dad weren't so mad, I would totally lose the joke and go ahead with the dog! LOL.

I'm hungry. I have to eat bread for dinner tonight. Why does the bread come in such a HUMONGOUS size here. its freaking impossible to finish it myself. By the time I reach 1/4 of it, it goes mouldy. Wing is my bread-buddy, as in we buy bread and split but I haven't seen him in ages, as if he's some sort of high-flyer now (good pun eh?). Alright guys, I'm gonna go now. 

See youuuu.

Hello!!

I have some bad news - I locked myself out. You see, I was rushing out of my house, and my apartment door doesn't require a key to open from the inside so I just opened the door, got out and closed it. The door is autolock from the outside so yeap, shit happens. Plus its the weekend and the agent's office isn't open, so I'm camping over at Kane's for the weekend. My work is at home. :( Sigh. Another unproductive weekend! Oh wellz, no use crying over split milk.

Kane went to football so I'm hogging his comp heehee. Last night he found Super Mario Bros online. Yes people, the original boriginal SUPER MARIO BROS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I use to fight with my cousins and brother to play that game when I'm over at their place, they had a console with the karerful fat cartridge. the one that looks like a brick. Why do we always call old gadget thingies bricks? I wonder what our next generation will call the gadgets in our time. "Ew, that phone looks like a block of post-its. That's disgusting. And you actually LUG that thing around? Luckily I have my phone injected into my main artery." And we'll be like, "hey I paid thousands for that iPhone! And yes! I "lugged" it around.".  Anyway! I'm getting off topic The last time I played Mario was like, 10 years ago I think, or maybe a little more than that! Anyways, I love the game and I still can remember some secret 1up mushrooms. So funz. I'm on a break now, I got to world 5-4 with 6 lives and I wasted all of them there. ARGHHH.

Melbourne weather is screwy again. The day before yesterday I checked the weather, and it said, 9-26 degrees. Gee that was helpful. LOL. But its quite hot here now! Bring on the iced coffees!! Oh did I mention? When you order iced coffee here, most of them will give you coffee in vanilla ice cream! I dont' know about other countries, but very very few do that in Malaysia! They just give you iced coffee, literally. WHICH IS A SHAME. I bought a tub of ice cream to store in my freezer, but the thing wouldn't freeze so I took them out and put them into 2 bowls with cling wrap hoping it will freeze. I think I left it there for 2 weeks. And its just like, a tub of cream. yeah its disgusting. my father asked me why am I keeping so much pancake batter and I'm like, noo its supposed to be ice cream. Which reminds me, I gotta throw that thing out. LOL.

Last week Li Hong slept over so I had to assemble this sofa bed thing I bought from IKEA the week before that. I have never assembled anything in my life before and I had to fix a bed. This foldable bed thing consisted of 14 planks. Each plank had 4 holes in them, Some were nails and some were screws. So i took out my toolbox and started screwing the screws as fast and as efficient as I could, then I had to hammer them nails, I tried hammering inside but it was too noisy, so I brought it to my tiny balcony. When I gave it a knock, the balcony glass shook violently and gave out this huge CLANG sound. I think it had to do with resonance or some shits like that, remmeber form 4 people? LOL. Anyway, it wasn't nice. my ears kept ringing. 2 and a half hours later, I finished it and my wrist was killing me that I had to take a painkiller. Wasn't a nice experience AT ALL. NEVER AGAIN.

Speaking of fixing things, I had to fix the kitchen drawer because it fell out. Kane was there so I asked him to help.

Kane: How do you fix this? Oh wait I know I know.. You just hold this.
Me: No thats wrong! Let me do it.
Kane: Oklor you think you're so smart
Me: Ok, you hold, I screw.
Kane: *raises an eyebrow*
Me: What? ......... Just.. just do it OKAY?
Kane: Wokay..
Me: =_________________________=

I don't know when will these jokes get old. LOL.

Okay I'm gonna continue mario now. Byezz

 Hi guys,

This is my first VLog I've EVEEEEERRRR!!!! So please don't be too harsh on me, I err alot, and I'm currently undergoing accent-confusion so don't attack the accent! LOL.

Also, I have a very motherly large green banner on my forehead asking me to buy the "please purchase" because I recorded on my comp and it was a AVI vid and it turned out to be 5GB!!!! So I had to download a trial converter software to make the file smaller. And then I adjusted my video format. But you know, I'm way too lazy to record again so I'm going to go with the green banner on my head, for your amusement sake. LOL.

I hope you guys like it. :D

My familiez just left Melbourne a while ago!

Mother dearest bought lots of stuff to "get my place organised". Well I personally thought my place was pretty organised because I know where are all my stuff and where exactly to find it (unlike in the past, just yell for kakak and tell her what I'm looking for with ridiculously poor BM) Anyways, yayy I got to eat at actual dining restaurants and not those casual cafeteria sorts. and my place is sparkling clean now. You can see the sparkles of cleanliness and yeah I talk lots of shit. Surprisingly my mum didn't yell at me for "things I cannot see". She normally would but this time she just shuffled everything into place without raising her voice at me. WHICH IS GREAT! Yay mother!

I'm so lazy right now. I was supposed to make myself a cup of iced coffee like an hour ago. But I just sit here and get fat. Yawn. I don't even feel like bloggin gin the first place. I feel like reading blogs, there used t be so many funny blog articles to read but now it seems like blogging was so 2 years ago and people rarely update with inneresting shitz to read no more. But there are loads of food blogs but I don't like reading food blogs because I like food, but reading food blogs are like "see no touch (or rather, eat)" policy and thats just not fun.

I have dishes to wash! I can't get up my chair. I've been eating and eating and everyday I find it increasingly difficult to button up my jeans. true story. I better go make myself that cup of coffee and start housewife/homework now. Buh. I want an automated cleaning house. Mehh

*I took 3 days to write this post so the timing is very messed up. ie. when I say today I went to bla bla, then later on I say today I did something else, the first today was actually yesterday. You know what, no one's going to finish reading this line anyway so it doesn't matter*

Hidihidi!

I'm allowing myself one hour to blog and then I will proceed with work! I have loads of work to do and shitheaps to remember. I don't know whether I've mentioned this but lectures are so boring. If I didn't get enough sleep from the night before I'd definitely be dozing off (happened a few times with head bobbing motions, very entertaining to watch, I know because I've watched a few people doing it LOL). Today I had practical and I made a bottle of orange syrup! It was fun and I didn't take 3 hours to do it so I enjoyed freedom 1.5 hours before I was scheduled to enjoy it.

What else about uni.. Umm.. Uni isn't exactly the most friendly place on Earth, combined with my very very bad social skills I probably only made about less than a handful of new friends. Its kinda difficult because how they get to know new people is to go drinking or clubbing and I'd rather go home, eat chips and sleep because I'm antisocial(fatboyism) like that. LOL.

The weather here is dumb. A week ago it was "officially autumn" <-- quoted from news. It was cold for a few days and then the past 2 days were SO HOT. And then the next few days we're expecting showers. Tomorrow we're expecting a storm. Whee. Fun weather. Except everyday before going out I stare at my tiny wardrobe for 5 minutes and decide what to wear (usually the wrong decisions, thats why its so stressful)

I went to the Moomba waterfest last Saturday with Kane! When I first heard about this Moomba waterfest I was like, what? What kind of event is this? Isn't Australia in some sort of water crisis right now? They ask the people to take 4 minute showers and they want to deliberately waste all that water by having a waterfest? What is this all about? Are they going to have bikini babes? Water rides? I later found out that the Moomba fest is actually an annual event where the area around Federation square is in this carnival mood! They have loads of carnival games (which are pretty con), good food (hot dogggs!), water-skiing on the Yarra river (I suppose this is why they call it a waterfest), cool rides (on land) that sort of thing. Kane and I spent most of our time on the games.

First we played this game where you pay 10 dollars for a bucket of rings and throw them to a compound of 10x10 glass bottles. If you get any of the rings around the neck of any bottle, you win! Yeah, sounded easy but it was impossible. Stupid game. Please don't play this game. Buy a hotdog instead. Feeling abit demotivated, we walked around abit and I saw this HUGE duckie plushie. And when I mean huge I mean HUUGE. Let me give you some perspective of  what kind of scale we're dealing with here.


We got sweared alot by random people.

"Fucking huge duck"
"What the duck."
"FUUUCK. That duck is gigantic."
"Need some help?"

And also freakshow stares by everyone - adults, young children and even dogs. Kane and I took turns lugging it around, I bumped into numerous people without even realising it because my vision was like 70% covered by its gigantic head. We were carrying the duck while watching a rockband perform on the stage. And they were like "WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIEEEEE!!! *RIFFRIFFRIFF*" And we were like O.O and we figured okay we don't belong here.. People will start bashing us up cos we obviously don't fit in with this huge duck. Its attracting too much attention.

We later played this game and won 2 more ducks to complete the duck family!


Hmm what else.. okay, random thoughts time!

1. I think my culinary skills are improving!
... which is great! Well, when I say improving, I mean cooking anything beyond Maggi mee, such as sauteed mushrooms, mashed potatoes, lamb cutlets, chicken (I cheated, I bought marinated ones), mee siam, spaghetti(with extra ingredients in the sauce!), half boiled eggs, ham omelette.. I live near the Victoria market which is great! I get those veggies in a pack (no idea what leaves are they.. but who cares) and a new type of fruit every week! Yay! *pretends to believe I'm healthy* I drink 3 cups of coffee now. The weather makes me so sleepy.

My depserate attempt with Mee siam. I tembak only. This is how I did it - I soaked the vermicelli in boiling water, took them out, put on a frying pan, add the tomyam paste and oil and kept poking it. LOL. I don't know if thats right but uh, yeah, it tasted pretty okay. Except there's no spice or anything in there. LOL. I took this pic when I was halfway through. I'm disgusting I know, I just tend to forget.
I bought strawberries~ I'm eating it with sugar because I can't afford luxorious food like whipped cream.

2. I see so many people I know on the streets its not even funny
.. its CREEPY. In the span of 2 weeks, I've probably bumped into 10 different people I know on the streets. Wtf. I don't like this because I don't know how to react to it. Should I say hi and walk past them? Should I stop and have small talk? Should I give them a hug but that'll be weird because she never really talked to me back in the day? IS SHE LOOKING AT ME?? SHOULD I PRETEND I DIDN'T SEE? WHATS HER NAME AGAIN? SHIT. Stresss.

3. I want a dog.
I miss taking care of something, keep calling out its name, cleaning up pee and poop, petting something, getting angry because it chewed my favourite pair of heels, chasing it around the house , yanking its leg out from the bottom of the car, carrying it like a baby, making funny noises to see how its ears go funny, buying expensive chew toys.. I'M SO DEPRESSED. I miss Molly so much! I miss having a dog! I WANT A DOG. It doesn't help when the Australians here bring their dogs to walk on the streets, in the market, the beach.. Kane and I saw a Siberian Husky outside a mall.. so handsome.. *sigh*

4. I hate not wearing pretty shoes anymore
I brought 3 pairs of heels (and had a hard time deciding which to bring) and I never worn them out once! So yesterday I decided to be adventurous(read: dumb as hell) and wear my heels out for dinner with my friends! I had to walk for 10 minutes to get to the place where I meet my friends so Kane and I braved the strong winds and freezing violent raindrops to get to the place. We had to run. So we got there in one piece. Then I had to walk for another 15 minutes to get to the restaurant. Don't forget walking all the way back.

When  I finally came home, I sat down and I felt a little pain on my foot, like the stinging abrasion pain..

5. My mum and bros are coming tomorrow!
I have to wake up at 6am to go to the airport to get them, but first, I gotta get this place cleaned up or else mother will release her warth of terror upon me.

O.O

*scrub scrub scrub*

I found this quiz on Facebook. They ask you sequential questions, nothing related to your personality and they'll tell you what kind of person you are at the end! I found it really interesting. Here's mine:

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend - you are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship. 

The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates. (not applicable! LOL)

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can. (hence the whole Pharmacy self inflicted torture. whee)

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

Success in your career is not the most important thing in life. You are content with what you have and think that being with someone you love is more than spending all of your precious time just working. (Not the most important thing in life, but I do dream of being successful someday.. someday~~)

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear. (WTF. Okay, this is too much. I take quite awhile deciding what to wear to uni to give out the right image. But okay freaky quiz... I'll listen to your wise advice. I shall wear my PJs tomorrow and let my personality shine through my exterior. Ohmmm.)

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve. (The last sentence, so true. Don't know if I give the right advice to people though! I hope so! Haha!)

My apologies for not updating often enough!

Having my own apartment is like, wtf I have to clean a million things everyday, buy groceries, cook, do the laundry and all these housewifey things that are so time-consuming and sometimes beyond my comprehension (ie WHERE THE HELL DOES THIS GO?)!! I'll just try to update from photos. Great to have a camera althought I often forget to bring it around wherever I go. Hmm lets see..

Lets trace back to 2 weeks ago.. I cut my hair and permed it! Here's a photo:



Valentine's day happened and Kane took me to Solaris to have a candlelight dinner! Which was awesome. I even took a picture of the dessert and you guys know that I'm normally not that kinda person. I devour my food as it touches down the table.


Happy Valentine's Day cutie!! Yeah I call him cutie. Got a problem huh.


And then 2 days later was Kane's birthday. I think I wished him here but I'm going to wish him again! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY! Yes I call him baby. Anyways, that a different story I shall blog about that soonish!

During the weekend, Kane and I went to St Kilda beach while it was the last week of summer. It was cold though. I was the only one wearing a sundress. Others were with jackets and all. We went to the St Kilda market where they sold some artsy fartsy paintings. I was really impressed by the paintings. If I had money I would totally get art from there! After that we had a short stroll on the beach where the sand was soft and almost-white. It was great sitting there looking at the waves roll <33. There were so many dogs! And I love looking at all the different breeds of dogs and their behaviou! Big ones, small ones, furry.. they are all so cute! And people here just leave their dogs without their leashes. They know where to go! Aww. By the way we took piccies of us in the beauriful scenery! We're like standing infront of a poster!
Also, some of my friends were so incredibly nice to come over and help me stick tracing paper on my sliding door! I'm using roller blinds and I can't install curtains so during the day I need to unroll the blinds to allow sunlight in. Unfortunately, there's an office right opposite me with the windows facing me. So I went for the cheapest solution which was to paste a million tracing papers on the door. Anyway, we have photos of the success!

I started settling down. I think I'm getting pretty settled. uni started on Monday and the lectureres already started with the syllabus on that day itself. It was okay but this particulr lecturer I didn't quite get. He just came in and rambled on and on and I didn't grasp anything! Its like uh.. yeah okay you do your thing while I just stare at these pretty coloured blocks mounted on the wall. Thats nice.

Today was my lab prac. Each session is 3 hours long and I had 2 sessions today. Thats 6 hours of prac in a day! Plus, 1 hour of normal lecture. I looked like a zombie after that. I was walking from the tram to my apartment and suddenly this crazy change of weather happened. The wind started going bezerk and it was drizzling at the same time so it was freezing. I got my umbrella out cos I thought I was very clever and I see this Australian girl about my age doing the same. We talked and laughed and walk while fighting against the wind. My umbrella overturned and it was blowing away. I just felt like I was in some sort of comedy show. Must have looked so funny to the people in their nice comfy little cars and stuff. :(

Its true that Melbourne's weather is one of the greatest mysteries on Earth. Yesterday it was hot! But the day before was cold, so was the day before that (went to the beach) but the day BEFORE that, was HOT! If I confused you, thats my point! To confuse you about the weather, because I'm confused too.

Narcissistic comments: Wtf the make up here is so expensive! I left my black liquid eyeliner and mascara back home because it was finishing and I would get new ones when i come here but woah. The mascara is rm10 more expensive and I can't find black liquid eyeliner here (not the super branded ones anyway, I'm talking about brands like loreal)! Its like it doesn't even exist! What the hell! Perhaps I can open a liquid eyeliner shop here! It would be revolutionary to the people here! My eyes have been feeling so naked for the past 2 weeks. :'( I try shadow but it looks digusting cos I suck at it. Kane called me a clown. sniffles.

Better go get some resties! I shall update whenever I can! I find blogging very therapeutic so don't worry bout the updates. I miss Malaysia! Wuwuwu *cries myself to sleep* Okay, I'm kidding I'm not THAT emotional. LOL.

A week ago I went to the Suzuki market with Kane&gang. Suzuki market is a night market held in Victoria market, at night. O.O They sell food, drinks, clothes and other random things, anything but cars. I tricked Debbie into thinking that I was going to buy a Suzuki car and she believed me! So happy for me somemore! LOL. I LOVE YOU DEBBIE!! <33 I think the reason why its called Suzuki market is because they sponsored it or something, I don't know..

Anyway!! I only had crepes. Its pronounced as Craipe right? Everybody seems to have a different way of pronouncing it, like Crap or even Creep. That'll be weird if it was.. like "HEY CAN I GET A PLATE OF CHOCOLATE CRAP PLEASE!!" because that's exactly what I had, Chocolate crepe (craipe/crap/creep) which was the cheapest food around (5 dollars) The proper food were close to $10 and I'm broke. I still need to buy coffee everyday haha. I thought I'll just eat dinner when I get home.

After house-hopping for a few hours, I finally reached my apartment at 12am, then I proceeded with cooking my dindin. I had marinated chicken in my fridge so I put it on a frying pan and covered the pan with the glass cover cos it'll cook faster that way.. And then after that I cooked buttered mushrooms (which was greatz). (I know this story is getting abit boring but bear with me children..) I attacked the chicken first and realised it wasnt' cooked. So I put it back on the frying pan, put the lid on again and left the ventilation on. A few minutes later, this incredibly ear-piercing sound came out from the smoke alarm and it was 12AM IN THE MORNING!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? THE SMOKE DETECTOR WENT OFF!! I panicked like a wild crazy goose and I ran to the window and tried to open it but the fucking window roller blinds were blocking my way!! I shoved it aside, opened the balcony sliding door abrupltly, wound up the window blinds, doubled the ventilation speed and the screeching was still there so I jumped on the bed and tried to press the button but failed because I am too short so I grabbed a pen and tried to jump on the bed to shut the fucker up and before I could, it stopped! YAY!!

After that I sat in silence, traumatised and waiting for my neighbour (the lead tenant scary shit) to come knock at my door and scold me for cooking 12am in the morning. Seriously, who the hell cooks at 12am in the morning (besides me)?? 15 minutes later I heard his door open, he just came home! YAY! He missed all the drama, which is awesome.

A few days ago, I was happily taking a shower for a little more than 4 minutes (yeah, okay sue me! Lol. I do not qualify to be an Australian.) But when I got out of my shower, I had an absolute shock. I saw a huge pool of water all over my bathroom, to my kitchen and it even leaked outside! Actually leak is not the correct word, it was FLOODED. I panicked, I couldn't find the mop so I had these 2 little puny hankerchief sized cloths to wipe the flood up like a poor little Cinderella. I then tried to find the cause of it and I thought maybe the non-slip bathroom mat form IKEA (which is damn stupid, I hate it, it doesn't even absorb water at all eventhough there's fabric on top) closed the waterhole and somehow created some vacuum space so it lead the water up from the waterhole to my floor.

The next day I took a shower, the same thing happened. So I had to play the Cinderella role for the 2nd time, sucks to be her really. But I had the aid of the mop but I got a backache after that. Anyways, the next day I took the problem to the agent and the plumber came to fix it, which is great! I'm happy now. Normally in the morning I'll brush my teeth first and somehow the water doesn't go down the sink so it will be literally full to the brim. Then I'll go make myself breakfast and when I'm done, I go back to the sink to wash my face. Now I can do it all at one go like any normaly individual! Whee! Exciting stuff.

***

I have various foods in the fridge for god knows how many days. And I don't know which can last and which to toss. Sigh. Anyway, yesterday I bought a box of ice cream to go with my coffee! But sadly the weather's changed so I'll probably be having more hot coffee than ever. My point is, my fridge is so small that I had to force the box in, and there's not much space for anything else. Sigh.

Oh the bachelorette life...

Now I've actually settled down a little, I have a little more time to blog! Whee. Before I left, there was so many things to blog about but I could'nt even sit down for a minute and stone. But now I can!!

The day before I left my friends ha da asmall little farewell gathering for the aspriring Australian uni students which is Wing, Jarrel, Lauranne, Kane and I. We had alot of fun! our friends gave us homemade t-shirts which they put alot of effort in doing! Basically we took loads of pictures but it was great fun. We had themed photos which were HILARIOUS. I uploaded them on Facebook but I'm just going to repeat them here cos they are so fun to look at.
