This is it people. The end of the first week of the second semester. I have 12 more weeks of classes to attend. Not forgetting the many papers that are due… feeling bad for all those trees turned into paper now... I went to Uni this morning to pay my fees and to meet up with this dude this is the tunnel which I go through everyday. very symbolic. we go through tunnels everyday. sometimes there’s the light at the end… sometimes there’s none. strange paintings in our semantics class. we were talking about lexemes having real world value… which led us to discussing whether or not prepositions and articles have any real world value… sounds trivial… my lecturer based his dissertation on this topic… i still think it’s a ‘tabloid’ topic. I bumped into Mr. and Mrs. Duck (i’m just assuming that they’re a couple) this morning. They were quacking and waddling along. Wonder what their perspective on prepositions and articles are.

what do you call a house which has not been cleaned since June? Well, despite the names you would call my house, it was cleaned today. I was all cinderella, minus the fairy tale happy ending, and the ball and gown since having a dress with a big bow isn't really my cup of tea. I scrubbed the kitchen floor and washed the bathroom... saw some brown streaks of encrusted **** on the side of the vanity, I'm not even gonna start describing what that was. anyways, catch up with you blog people later

A friend of mine just reminded me that if you are in the Australian Education system, you're bound to have the most HOLIDAYS you've ever imagined having in the years of being a student. Schools here have two major holidays, one is the winter holidays, from June to the end of July, and the summer holidays, which is from November to end of February. C'mon people, get your calculators out and start counting the months you have off from school!!!!! wooohoooo sadly, the semester started today. I bumped into a few of my classmates, one classmate I saw almost got run over my a speeding car. The driver did stop, only to pull a foolish grin at my classmate. Btw, I tried my hand at Hainese!@##$#$% Chicken Rice last night (sorry I'm not sure how you spell Hainese!@#!@$)... tasted not so bad, I think I'm prepared to cook a meal for me and my Malaysian housemate. Watched a horror movie last night - The Haunting in Connecticut, was freaked out at first, but towards the end, ...

it seems oddly familiar, but like a mirage, when you bring your eyes for a closer inspection it disappears the whites outshine the blacks blankness overcomes the stained my fingers quiver the moment we touch they stumble over the paleness of the surface dead noises

well i was telling ropoy that i was craving for ka pau kai an hour later, he tells me he had ordered ka pau kai for both amy and himself T_T sialan

i’m leaving my house today to rekindle the flames with an ex-lover. 

to be the one standing near escalators, or on the side walk, trying to grab people's attention. Today I was promoting the International Students Volunteer at the orientation program the uni had for the new students. I volunteered to run around the courtyard and wait at the entrance for people who were passing by. I did manage to get quite a number of flyers out. However, I had many futile attempts in getting people to grab a flyer. A girl literally ran when she saw me extending my hand out to her; a guy said his hands were full; another guy took the flyer and left it at the table behind me; another guy (who was from the goon society) came up to me and started dancing... I asked him, why are you dancing, and he said: why not? then it dawned on me...yes, it's the goon society, all they do is drink and be merry (they did drink a lot, i saw them going back and forth refilling their table with booze from the godfrey tanner bar right behind the expo room where we were - and th...

what do you call a person who keeps the broom and steals the kitchen scourge but does not use them or take any initiative to clean the house

I wake up 1. overdressed in sweaters and layers of fleece pants and a beanie 2. eat, shower, and discard garments, lotion up 3. throw on a button-up 4. choke myself with a tie 5. make my way into a jumper skinnier than me 6. phew…. made it in in one piece READY TO GO TO CHURHC!! selamat sabat, suksawan sabato, happy sabbath!

Floating skywards, the steam envelopes the entire room, layering glasses and mirrors with an ephemeral frost, suds streaming down, with the pull of gravity, and the wonders of chemistry, reacting one element of the earth, dissolving into nothingness Suds stream down, again… bewilderment envelopes the being SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED! Last night was freezing.  It was cold and it was raining.  I woke up with an itchy throat.  So much for wanting to go to sleep with the perfect hair and waking up with even perfect hair.  Beanie and winter are inseparable.  Wear it.  Use it.  Don it. Anyways, I do hope that you guys who frequent my blog like the new template.  I messed around with the template yesterday arvo (aussie slang for afternoon) and ruined the whole thing.  Redid the blog again midnight last night.  Enjoy! :D Before the end of this post I’d like to make a tribute to a coffee shop/Chinese restaurant (at Gaya Stre...

today on my way to pay my rent, I nearly got run down three times. No, I wasn't jaywalking, not this time. I kept to the pedestrian path/walkway/whatever-its-called and on the zebra-crossings. It was funny because all the motorists that almost ran me down were ladies, and all of them had another lady sitting next to them. First, I was crossing on the zebra crossing, and cars were supposed to stop since it was a pedestrian-priority crossing area, but this lady simply zoomed by. I kept to the zebra-crossing (in a parking lot) and this lady in a small white car just careered even though me and a few other fellow pedestrians were crossing, finally, there was this big toyota land cruiser which ignored us who were on the zebra crossing again. Again I wasn't alone and this Australian mother who was walking with her daughter had a shouting contest with the female driver. Oh wait, on my way back, across the first zebra walking where I almost got ran over, a pajero revved as it saw...

Today this blog is making HISTORY!!! THE BIGGEST IF here... If you are bored and have nothing to do, please do go through my blog archives and you will notice that I have never posted anything up on the 15th of July. However, I have countless blog posts on both the 14th and the 16th. As I was browsing through, I noticed that around this time of the year, I would be preparing to fly back to Malaysia, which will be after hanging out with a zillion friends and shopping in BKK and bumping into models along the way. What can I say, models bump into their kind. Yes, it's a jungle out there, what nonsense am I vomiting here. I've completed my enrollment for the next semester. I've looked at my schedule and I have classes everyday. Why can't it be like last semester where I only had classes from Mondays to Fridays. Gah. On a different note, anyone feeling adventurous? Sabah, the beautiful tropical state of Malaysia has "heaps" of adventures that will cater to a...

Virginia Woolf is best known for her ability to delve into her characters’ stream of consciousness in the plot’s real-time. In “The New Dress,” the protagonist, Mabel questions her reasons for being at that posh party.  Towards the end, Mabel makes this comment, “We are all like flies trying to crawl over the edge of the saucer…”  Flies.  There was an instance when a group of us were called flies, for reasons I am not sure of.  But when Mabel compared us to flies trying desperately to scamper to the edge of the saucer, it dawned on me how weak some of us are.  We are so drawn to many “sugary” things.  The bad thing about that is most of these “sugary” things come with preservatives and additives – an escapism into a temporal realm of relief.    like a wild boar lurking around a tourist infested beach (photo taken by my brother last January when we went Island Hopping)

I think the stingray took Rejection's sting. I've been rejected, by my now malfunctioning laptop, and a person whom I just started talking to. How is it that some of us are able to confront rejection without the slightest scent of fear. Every time Rejection and Its counterparts and synonyms pass my way I'd crawl to a corner, cover myself with layers of blanket and yet still feel naked. Revenge on Rejection will be a total flop in the box office. Look at Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith - it had to fly to the galaxy far beyond our comprehension to be an mega-million franchise. But Rejection has taught me a thing or two. It made me realize who I am, what I need to improve, and I thank God and my genes for giving me nothing but a thick skin and bones.

Before after hihihihi

I’ve got my beanie on, and my mittens, and two layers of sweaters plus that wool jacket i have on… it’s still cold my laptop is giving me some troubles now, it’s flickering over and over again, i’ll need to get in touch with the hp guys about this, it’s such a nuisance the weekend was great.  had dinner at the new pastor’s house.  there i had REAL chili!!! hahaha meeting my new boss this afternoon, I really don’t know what to expect.  he told me to bring my laptop, but as i have said it’s not working so well… gah nothing good to write right now

I was chatting with Claroy, I am still actually.  He thought I’d forgotten how to speak Malay, and I told him that I’m not a Kacang Lupakan Kulit .  This is a Malay saying, meaning how a person has disregarded/neglected/forgotten his/her roots.  This week has been so-so.  Thank God for churches though.  Yesterday, my band-mate (who plays the bass) rang me up and brought me to his office for some casual jobs.  First time doing stocks, and of course filing, which I’ve been trying to do since I started school many years ago.  It was a great feeling when I got my pay.  I haven’t earned anything for many months now Thank God for the job I recently landed.  I’m now a representative for the International Student Volunteers .  Please visit the website they’ve got some really neat activities going on. Will blog a lil’ more later
