Resetting the scene

hey ya. So as promised, it hasnt been that long that i have blogged last. Good thing is that i finally made an effort to blog at least twice a week now haha. Well the good news is...i passed all my units. I remembered i had work the next day, so i slept earlier, and woke up juz to check my grades. Mum and dad were nervous about me passing them all, so they called me 5 mins after the result has been out LOL. the curtin student web takes ages to load, because so many students spam clicked the link. Well, just pretty glad that i actually passed them all. The next thing tat worries me is probs the english test result. zzz But anyway, lets skip this talk, and move on to what happened.

So not long ago, i was thinking to myself, i might wanna get something from the city. So 2 days ago, i pulled myself outa my closet and went to shop  in the city. Apparently the financial year sales were still going on, so i had the chance to grab something off with a couple of discounts, which is always good. And finally the ultimate good news, is that i have to lodge my tax soon. Meaning that i finally get my pay back. For some of u who may not know how it works. Australian government taxes students and other non-residents at a certain tax rate (no matter wat). This is done assuming ur a part of Australian resident, when in actual fact u are not. This means that, my actual weekly pay is actually greater than what it has actually been. normally i get around 20 hours per week, with 17 dollars. 340 dollars all up, but with the tax, i only get around 250 in return. Week by week, and time passes, those 100 dollars accumulates, AND NOW I SHALL CLAIM IT BACK LOL! Well, i promised my stupid gf that i needa buy her something so i needa give her like a portion of this amount..but i am still pretty happy i can get it back soon. Its true that when u start working, money starts flowing in, and u sometimes wonder, why the fuck wasnt i working to begin with? LOL, if it wasnt for this job, i would have ended up with my old clothes for eternity zzz

Well as i have said, i went to the city. with matt, my gf, and matt's friend, Jonel. This trip was pretty much juz for matt to get closer to this chick, cause apparently, hes trying to get her. I can understand his feelings sometimes, he always tells all these stuffs to me. LOL what happens, if the person that u like has a bf, but u arent sure about it urself? do u go ask her or have some plans up ur sleeve? lol answer is, no1 can answer that right? I know i am making him sound like a love retard, but he isnt. Infact he is actually really pro at getting girls, but its the fact that we always come together to discuss these things to make it so fun haha. I remember we always used to chat about these little things about girls whenever something happens. But nevertheless, this trip was pretty fun. I got to know jonel, and i bought some stuffs. buying stuffs is always good right? esp when u get to buy the stuff that u like and u think its worth it lol.
And finally i found a replacement for my beloved wings meal at nandos. I replaced it with bbq ribs lol. These things actually taste pretty good. at least i thought they are tenderloins, but they werent. These are actually ribs. So me and my cousin actually came up with a good deal. That is, we always order 3, 8 bbq rips. and get a seriously large chips LOL. with my gf, me and him. Price for these is only around 30 dollars, when u can actually eat till ur satisfied but the only thing ur missing out on, is the drinks. But fuck cares about soft drinks? LOL.
Before i finish the post, i wanted to mention the budget shit LOL. as i have mentioned in my video log, i dun blame u guys for not checking it out, cause i admit its pretty boring LOL. but meh, hear me out tho, after my mums been gone. i started to realise theres alot of shits for me to do. and i started to realise, its not easy to always buy the stuff that u wan at a cheap price. So as u can see in the pictures above, the fruit juices are 4 dollars after discount. which is still considered pretty expensive lol. I ended buying a few, juz for the vitamins and stuff.
Before i finish, i ma just suggest some songs for u guys.
1. Lighters by Bad meets evil, featuing bruno mars.
2. 21 Guns by Green day
i like this song basically because of the lyrics, so i hope u guys give it a try, eventho its a lil old haha

3. Jet Lag by simple plan featuring natasha beningfield

4. Edge of glory by Lady Gaga

Thats it for today, i hope u guys enjoy it. Ideal signing off.

Cuts and recoveries

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!, yeh i am gonna mass spam u guys with the o's lol. omg i feel so horribly bad, cause i said " oh yeh soooooooo gonna post soon" and it never happened EPIC FAIL. well well well, this post will be FUN. Screw those emo stuffs and life pain in the ass problems man? LOL. Well, lets just say, i have been pretty busy (YES even after exams, fml), and i had my english tests going on, in uni, for my PR application to be ready and shit, but honestly tho, who the fuck cares? its obvious my english is okay dude? seriously? why do u have to make all international students go thru such a pain ! But thats done. So whats done is done. Cousin's parents left already, since ages ago.

Originally tho, i was going to post like a music analysis and recommendations post up here, but i am soooooooooooooo LAZY. So instead of doing all those pussy ass talking and recommending u guys the songs, why not just have me list them all here, so u can check them out lolol: to all the daily viewers and readers, heres the actual list:
BE THANKFUL, CAUSE THIS IS ACTUALLY MY CURRENT FAV LOL!
theres no ranking, so numbers wont mean shit here :D
1. Better than revenge - Taylor Swift
2. I wanna go - Britney Spears
3. Monster - Paramore
4. Sparks Fly - Taylor Swift
5. Set U Free - Keshia Chante
6. Invading my mind - Jennifer Lopez
7. Lighters Feat. Bruno Mars - Bad Meets Evil
8. Run the night - Harvana Brown
9. Automatic - Aubrey O'day

--------------------------------------Okay actually this is my 2nd time posting this cause i got distracted the other day zzz. Well anyways, i wanna mention a couple of things tho, mainly the video log in the future. I have actually been thinking about this for a while, ever since Febuary or something, basically ever since i stopped posting alot, cause i got really tired of writing shits LOL. So i was thinking, instead of writing, maybe i can do a little video juz to tell u guys wat happened to me. And basically this idea also came from jingwen (one of my blog followers/ blogger tat i follow). But then, i realised, maybe i wont do the entire blog post in the video, might juz summarise the stuff happened, and all the other things, i can write them in words. LOL which in turns may make it a little more fun for me and my viewers, but..i dunno wat do u guys actually think LOL, tat just means i can turn on the webcam when i am ugly (DUH) lolol especially with my headband and glasses O___O
 Well, the day before my cousin's parents went back, we actually went to karaoke (which on my gf's blog, she has already kinda mentioned it if u guys actually read her blog as well lol) But no big deal, but i jus realised this karaoke store doesnt have alot of new english songs, whereas the other one in the city has most of them. however, these can be compromised cause this 1 is alot nearer to my place, whereas the 1 in the city is alot futher.

 This is juz a random pic tat i took before going into a store to buy some of my stuff. I actually dyed my hair a little lighter than last time. So its kinda like medium shaded brown, which is pretty good. I was expecting a brighter colour (which i dun wan), but now tat its little dark-shaded, its cool. Coloured hair has one advantage, that is making the hair look more "neutral", by that i mean, when ur hair gets a lil oily, on the black hair, its alot more obvious than the dyed lighter colour. Just that thing to keep in mind. Alot of ppl asked me why do i cling to dyed hair, since i already look decent with the black hair, one of the reasons is that. haha
Well guys, i guess i will juz finish this blog post now. I will be posting soon if i can be bothered, i feel so bad for not posting alot nowadays, especially since i got some viewers to read my blog. But nevertheless i will try my hardest to blog more often haha.

Reversing

Finally now that exams have been left behind, and over, i have got back my social life haha. Sadly, most of my friends still havent finished their exams, so i cant really hang out with them. But nevertheless tho, with my cousin's parents and sis over, a whole load happened juz this week. Basically, this week is like a massive fatting season for me, and i havent been going to the gym, cause i juz finished my exams and i still got no time, since i need to accompany them most of the time. I still managed to pull sometime off, to gym twice this week, so overall it wasnt so bad. Oh btw, i am gonna mass spam u guys with different pics, especially with food, LOL, cause all we been doing is eat, and not much else, since whenever they go sight seeing i look so disinterested hahaha


 We had different types of food ranging from western to asian. So the firs pic was when we had pizzas, from little ceasers, down at leedy. The shop was relatively far, but the pizzas were very tasty. I wasnt the one who ordered, so i aint all too sure of wat we ate, but i am sure of two pizzas that we ordered, 1's called Birds of tokyo, (thats with chicken teriyaki), and the snowman for dessert. Showman dessert was very special, and its the kinda food that i havent had before, its basically, chocolate topping on the pizza with shaved coconut, and vanilla ice cream, hahaha, it might sound yuck for some ppl, but it was very sweet and nice, and bad at the same time since its so fat and unhealthy LOLOL.
 These are jus the menus that we took a snapshot of. Just wanted to take the menu since its all juz standing there for u guys to check out LOL. altho i bet u guys dun see shit HAHA.


 I dun exactly remember when we went to the city, because so much happened, and its juz not possible to put everything in order lol. But we went to the city, for shopping (eventho i already went there a couple of times before my relatives even came to perth). All i bought was ajacket, and 2 shirts. all cost 100 bucks, since there were massive sales going on. This is the season that u really wanna get urself stocked up on stuff, cause its the stocktake period. Even big brands like burberry gucci, prada are having sales on, ranging from 30% to 50%. The above picture is rock candy. Basically, the candy is like a rock, but it melts/dissolve when u eat it, and hold it for too long in ur mouth. If u guys wanna come to perth (all the viewers overseas, and havent tried it before),  make sure u give them a try. They are very fun to eat, and very unique as well haha. How often do u see a rock candy?
 These are just packeted candy on display. But not too sure if u can buy them or not tho? lol, my cousin was saying some ppl can engrave their names onto the candy and give it out to people. Isnt that special and cute gift to give out when ur having ur wedding on? hahah
 Not long after shopping in the city, we went to the good old korean bbq that we have always had during our times when we were free, especially with my gf and mates. And since my aunty cudnt eat beef or lamb, we ordered a plate of beef and a plate of pork. We werent thinking to order chicken since in places like these, chicken are the hardest meats to cook so we skipped it.
 Just the same old environment hahaha.

 After the big meal, we went to get ourselves some desert. Since my uncle and aunty, are really the type who live in western country, they arent really exposed to alot of western deserts, such as the one above. Its called, a large waffle, with cream, with maple syrup, and extra ice cream with cookies and cream LOL. see how FATTY is it? haha, but i dun give a shit LOL, in situations  like these, matt is gonna drive me crazy. he will say stuff like " oh man its so fat man, how can u eat it, ur abs are gonna be gone in like a day  man, DUN EAT IT" i just go "fuck u leave me alone, cunt " LOL , he just stfu hahha. Well anyway, we ordered two of these waffles for my cousin and his parents and her sis to try them out. They tasted relatively good, especially since the waffles were warm, and the ice cream is cold, they provide those contrast in tasting haha

Before anything happened, we were of course shopping in the city..which i already told u guys haha. gf wanted to take a pic so there u guys go. We were actually taking this pic when my cousin was changing. He bought a GUESS sweater, which had 50% discount. me and my gf were so broke, and cudnt buy anything LOL.


 Of course, we went past shops like LV, gucci, prada, and burberry. LV didnt have sales on, and my aunty didnt really wanna go in there, since shes not so fond with the brand. She was complaining most of the ppl are carrying fakes in malaysia, tats wat turned her off. Nevertheless, she had a look a couple prada bags, which she ONLY liked a bit, but the sales assistant was saying its nice. She was considering to buy it for a while, then at the end, i asked her " aunty, do u really like it? Only buy it when u REALLY like it, cause these things arent cheap, so make sure u spend smart" then she said " actually to be honest, i am just okay with it, no hard feeling" so i said, ok then screw it, dun buy it. My uncle was telling her "yeh make sure u like it since its not cheap at all" so in the end, she said, ok nah i dun wan it, i dun really like it LOL. Which is smart, because u wud never wanna spend over 1.5k on a big which u dun like. Am i right girls? LOL well, dumb ones wud, but yeh, LOL
Legendary thai restaurant wud not be missed when my relatives are here. In fact it was one of the first few restaurants that we brought them to, since they came. Just the same old, except we went there, during lunch special, and everything were averaged-priced. But the food..only 1 description: GODLIKE IMBA FOOD. k sorry for my geeky term of description but i cant help it hahaha.


Well i guess thats all for today, but stay tuned tho, for my next post. I will post relatively sooner this time, because i will have more time then, and moreover, i wanted to mention some songs for u guys as well. But since this post is getting #$%^&*(ing long, i wont do it here LOL. Anywayssssssssssss, thanks for reading guys, and sorry for not posting for so long. But i am sure, i will be forgiven haha.

Slices of life

Hey! eventhough i keep saying the same thing, " its been a while, it has been a while, it has been a while", it never gets old, it has truly been a while LOL. i guess recently, i am juz averaging a blog post per week, which is pretty unforgivable. However, because of my exams, and other stuffs that have been keeping me busy, i simply dun really have time to review on stuff that i actually did throughout the week and stuff, so i apologize to the people that are wanting to read my blog posts...Life has been quite simple recently, since the only thing that i need to worry about is exams, and now that my dad's back in perth, it is finally the time to reunite with him. Gotta be honest, whenever hes here, he juz does so much stuff for my mum, which is always good, cause my mum is naturally really weak, and cant do much housework.

So right after hes back in perth, that weekend, we had two homemade steamboats, it might look like it is not very tasty, but it was very nice. the taste isnt the thing that i would complain, except that its not so filling for me, and afterall its juz plain soup without rice. Changes are always good, because we dun normally eat these things unless my dad's here. My dad actually got this new pot with his credit card points. I LOL-ed pretty hard, when i heard it haha.
Dear gym, u have been missed.
 Some of you may also know that, i am finally back to the gym. This means two things, my debt will increase, and my muscle will also increase LOL. The thing about me is that, i am not really good at saving, and always tend to spend the money once i have them. I finally pulled myself outa my closet, after watching so many good videos on youtube, on people getting buffer and stuff, i started to think, maybe its the time for me to go back. So i did, i went to register for 12 months, and luckily i got this limited offer, that offers extra 4 months for me, meaning i pay 670 for 16 months. To be honest, its a pretty good deal, especially since, i am a person that loves gym alot. So this time, i plan to go all out, so i even decided to buy protein shake, just to fill me up whenever i am hungry



Today, i went to uwa library, called Reid. to study of course. It has been around half a year since i last went to uwa, and everytime i go there, the scenery juz makes me go wow. I cant believe my exams are gonna start on monday, and ends on wednesday, and after that, hardest stuffs are outa the way. I even made myself a timetable for me to follow the required workload everyday, so i can keep up my study till the exams. There's that, believe me or not, the main purpose that i posted today, wasnt because i wanted to share all these life stories. The reason that i really wanted to post today, is that i wanna mention two songs, one in english and one in chinese.

1ST: Jay Chou-All the way to north
If u wanna ask any1, u can. I am not a fan of chinese songs myself, and for all the other fans, i know wat ur gonna say. Theres only 2 kinda ppl when it comes to jay chou. U either love him and thinks hes the best, or u think hes overated. I personally dun think he is the best, but is one of the best. I have grown tired of listening to his songs, since he released so many, and only some are nice. As he grows older, and got more fame, he began to sway away from his original style, which alot of fans react differently to that, some hates, some loves. Nevertheless, i would like to present this song to you guys. Its not juz any ordinary song, i actually listened to this song for nearly a 1000 times, and i still like it.
Basically, one of the few things i love about this song, is its idea of two different world. The past, and the present. Again, it comes to love, its obvious, its all chinese songs are about. But this time, if u searched up the lyrics, u can tell that, all these lyrics are his thoughts, AFTER the girlfriend left the car. (i dunno if he meant him or other guy, neither do i care. But basically, wat he was saying is, the rear mirror view is a different world from his world. i will leave all those lyrics for u guys who understand, to think about it, cause i aint really that kinda person to express all these stuff on my blog post especially when its related to love LOL.

2ND: Moment 4 live-Nicki Minaj

Well, as previously mentioned, i would to analyse these songs for u guys lol. In case u guys havent heard or searched the lyrics. This song is talking about making moments in life, and appreciating them. I guess i dun really know what to say, but i wanna mention a couple of things.
How many of you have gone worrying and caring the stuffs that dont really matter? and leaving out the most important stuff? I reckon drake sings in this song with a very clear view. He says, cause everybody dies, and not everybody lives. What does this mean? Personally i think, most of the people, they dun take chances, they dun fall, and they dun realise alot of smaller things that can actually make a difference in their lives. Even until the moment they die, they havent even felt alive before, by pursuing for a certain thing, then falling, and learn from mistakes, and finally keep trying and never back down untill u got it. By cherishing, just the little little stuff, they can turn into a big thing in the end. What do we needa do now? We need to cherish every moment, and take chances, and eventho we fall, it is only human. This is when we feel alive, it is this kinda moment, that we should feel alive. Thats why do not juz focus on the negative, keep it simple, and positive. Thats the way we can live our life happier :)

Everybody dies, but not everybody lives, cause to live doesnt mean your alive.

Over the cliffs

It's good to know that, i have got a break coming. So hey guys, realised it has been around a week since i last blogged, and eventually i pulled myself to blog something, since its been such a long time. Well, nothing much happened, except the fact that i had my assignment dueing, and pilling up, and getting them off my way. I currently have no more assignments to worry about, just the finals.Well, things have been going pretty bad for me, in terms of academically and mentally. I had a rollar coasters ride just in these few days, due to some reasons, which i dun really wanna say it here.

But lets move on. Continueing my story...so, i dunno if i have mentioned this, but my mum went to eastern states, to Sydney, and new zealand for two weeks. These two weeks were pretty much a disaster for me, since the only ones helping out are my cousin, my gf, and myself. My bro doesnt really help out the house. So during this period of time, i was soooo super busy, especially when i have to do most of the houseworks + studying at the same time, and not mentioning i got a whole load of assignment dueing last week, and this week. Whenever, my mum is away, i start to realise alot of things, such as " What would happen if i live alone?" "doesnt tat solve everything? i dun need to do most of the houseworks, for my bro, and stuff, and i just needa do mine?" "what if i just slack off, like he does, and when mum comes back and lectures us", "what happens if i juz dun come home, for a week, and hardly eat at home?, does tat mean i still need to do his shit?" so...all these questions started popping up, and by the time i realised, they are all useless. Sometimes i am juz really tired, of trying so hard to solve things whether its at home or in a relationship or even friendship. Why does it always seem like i am the one trying so hard, and getting nothing in return?

 Nevertheless, heres some pictures that i took throughout the week, juz to keep track of posting photos. haha. Before mum came back to perth, i knew i needed to clean the house. In fact, i already knew it before she even went to the eastern states. First thing that i needed to do was to wash my car, and clean the inferior of my car, since no1 really gives a shit, when they sit in my car. Especially my gf and other ppl...they put their legs up, throw papers into pockets and leaving their trashes on the car carpet...which saddens me. Am i the only 1 whos loving my car?...Well anyway, after washing my car, i had to clean the floor, mop the floor and clean the stove, which i dun think i needa show u guys how dirty my house is LOL.
Every tuesday, is pizza day. Every wednesday is utopia. That was the rule when my mum was away. Pizzas are 50% off on tuesday, utopia's bubble teas are 2.60 dollars for one, comparing to the actual 4.60 dollars. These are just what i normally do...getting these cheap stuffs when they are off the period, but then again, those figures sum up, so i would almost mostly avoid getting all too much..
 These utopia buns looked really yummy, but unfortunately, i dun really buy them, cause they r SUPER exp haha. If u live in perth, u get what i am toking about, these buns are generally tiny, or in small portion, and would cost alot if u buy heaps. Eventho, most of the times, i have to retrain myself from buying them too much.
 This picture was taken on tuesday, after my presentation. I had my formal wear for my presentation, and eventho our presentation wasnt great, the only thing that i am happy about is that it is all over. I am not the type of person to cling on something that has happened, but rather, i think about what i can do to fix it, or just be happy cause its all over at least? Its not like, if u get more depressed, it would boost ur marks up lol.

 Me and matt went to yd or tarocash not long ago. I think it was at garden city. He had a ball going on, so he needed some formal wear. I was bored so i took a picture of all these random  shirts. Gotta be honest, i dun buy all my stuff from these stores anymore, call me vain or whatever, but i just think the quality and brand guarantee isnt tat great, and besides these prices arent very fascinating, and in fact most of the times, they are more expensive than my fav brands, such as marc, french connection and guess. So i stopped walking into stores like these, cause i simply dun trust the brand anymore. I remember, the red shirt that i bought from yd, wasnt long ago, but IT WAS JUZ BECAUSE I PUKED ON IT, the colour went kinda off. FUCK off? i spent 100 bucks, and tats wat u give me...fine LOL.  so i stopped either way... haha

Since i havent been blogging about music for so long, i guess i can give u guys some recommendations for the songs that i am gonna tok about...basically, just these 3 new songs:
1. Party rock anthem
2. Don't hold your breath
3. Moment 4 life

The first song is just very catchy, and doesnt really mean anything. The second one is about love, which u guys can go ahead and check it out LOl, dun wanna sound corny here haha. 3rd one is about life. I dun really wanna tok about it all too much here, cause i will do a blog post regarding to that haha, but yes, all these 3 are my favs currently, and i recommend it for everyone to check it out :)

Loves,

Fancy surprises

Finally, i have got what i wanted for so long LOL. Okay, might not make any sense to anyone, but i will explain...Okay, basically, for this post, i will just tell u guys, wat happened this week hahaha.

So, basically, what i did for today, was going to the city to get my belt. It was a very hard and tough decision for me to make, because i went past Gucci beforehand, and finally burberry to decide maybe i wud wan that, instead of the gucci. These belts basically dun really have a price gap between them, all prices are roughly the same. I was feeling quite awkward, before going into the  burberry store, because i have a weird habit of going into a store, and seeing what i wud like to buy next time, AND NOT BE ABLE TO buy it NOW LOL. And for most of the people, as u would know, ...normally, in cases like these, i wud get judged, but to be honest, i dun really give a shit. Cause i know well enough that i will buy it next week, or in the near future, so theres no point feeling so awkward, and being intimidated by other people.
 The reason why it was such a tough decision, was that, the belt price is equalvalent to 2 burberry shirts, which i  could have bought juz today, in the replacement of the belt. So if u ask me, was the belt that i bought, worth it? i would say yes, because i wanted this belt for so long. I guess it was roughly around 1 month since i last seen it. And for some people, u might know that, my weekly pay isnt high enuf for me to grab it jus like tat, so i almost would have to wait for 2 weeks or even 3 weeks to get the belt. But finally, i bought it today, that satisfied my lust. I am aiming for a full collection. I dun really want to mention what is a full collection. LOL because i feel bad, for spending so much time and money on it.
 Anyway, it took a while, to get the belt set up, because the sales assistant, was trying it on me, and cutting it, to suit the right waist. After all that has been done, we finally left the shop, and went back to gucci, to tell the sales assistant that we arent buying the belt, anymore, since we got one from burberry lol. My gf and my cousin, were discussing, how i always wanted to book the stuff that i wanna buy, and so afraid of other ppl trying to steal it from me, i always wud end up booking it 1st, before going to the other shops to check for alternatives LOL. Which i agree, i am a bit of a paranoid, when it comes to these kinda stuff, because i almost dun wan any1 to steal the stuff that i wanted to buy from me.
 Have a break, have a kit kat. My gf is gonna have her tests tomorrow, and APPARENTLY, she told me shes suffering LOL. but to me, it seems like she hasnt really tried to study hard in her life, untill now, so it is only ideal for her to feel so miserable, but i experienced it untill i am numb. Even if i failed one or two tests, i get over with it quickly. Whats done is done, and it cant be changed, and what do u do? u try harder in the final exams, and get higher marks, to compensate for what u have lost. Simple.
 Anyway, i forgot which day was it, that we went to somerville cafe again, but we did. We went there, because my stupid gf had this weird crave for its laksa, and we went there just to get it. And to get her STUPID MOTHER FUCKING YAN YAN. if u dunno wats yan yan, it is a loser version of pocky, where u have to MANUALLY dip the stick into the chocolate/strawberry to eat. what a loser thing to do LOL. k shes gonna kill me when she reads this. Ok anyway, after we ate the lasksa, we went pass winthrop shopping centre, and we went pass a bakery store. I saw a cheese bread, and ended up getting it. It was the cheapest among the other breads, and it looked really yummy hahaha. So i got it, and it was pretty decent, judging from the fact tat, it is only a dollar 20.
Theres a nice chill place at the cafe that we went to. Because we normally sit inside, we wanted to sit outside for a change. I remember tat day, was pretty cold, and we ended moving to the corner, so we could avoid the breezes. Stupid lady, took the wrong order tho LOL. but i aint complaining...hahaha

Another good thing that happened either this week or the week before was that, i finally got my beloved cap from armani. I wanted this cap for so long, but my gf kept telling its not worth the price. But for those of u who know me, i normally would like my hair to grow a little bit longer, but longer hair means longer time to do my hair/tidy my hair. So therefore, sometimes getting a cap, and wearing it, would solve all my problems, especially considering, this is actually my 1st cap that i really liked in my life. My gf went to the city with her friend, and i just told her to swipe my card, to get it, and i wanted to stay home, cause i cbf. She originally wanted to surprise me, but failed, because my cousin and i were so doubting that she lied. She basically told me, they ran outa stock. And everything that she did, from that point onwards, were so unlike her. She normally has this weird habit of twitting everything she sees or does, but she didnt on the day. And she just looked so carefree, even when she saw me. LOL, but i still was really glad that she made an effort to give me a surprise. I ended up surprising her, because i just thort it was funny LOL. Ok, let me break it down LOL.

I went to pick her up from the train station. She was with her cousin, cindy, and the moment she stepped into my car, she already got prepared. She already put the armani shopping bag, into a bigger shopping bag, to cover it. We had to stop by her place to drop cindy off. Before she got into my car, earlier on, she already put the shopping bag, at the back of my car. So in actual fact, the armani shopping bag was at the boot of the car. She got off with cindy, and went into her place, to get some stuff, and leaving the shopping bag at the boot of my car. Cousin and i were saying, " shes probs fucking lying that she didnt get the actual cap", and i was pretty sure she lied as well, i just didnt know where to find it LOL. so in the end, while she was still in her house, i quickly went outa my car, and rushed to the boot to check. It was there. Armani shopping bag, was there. In my brain, i just BINGO BITCH LOL! i quickly got the bag, and hide it under my cousin's seat.

So after 10 mins, she came outa her house, and we went back to my place. After we all got into the house, she told me " bi, i forgot something, i left something at the boot of the car, can u go grab it for me plz", and i laughed so hard inside, i was trying my best to hold it in, and i did. I was holding my laughter, and trying so hard not to even smile. I said, " oh okay, its so not unusual for u to forget ur stuff" i went to the boot, and grab the shopping bag, and came in. She looked at me, with her face going " WHAT THE FUCK". I stood there, HOLDING MY LAUGHTER AGAIN, and said, " why u looking at me like tat? wats wrong". She said, " did u see anything at the back of the boot, except the shopping bag?"

i said, " no just the grocery shopping bag? why, u forgot something?" she said, U SURE THERE ISNT ANYTHING MORE ?, and i said, " wow wow wow, calm down, wats wrong". She rushed to the back of my car IMMEDIATELY, and looked, with her face going " WHERE THE FUCK IS IT", and seriously guys..I WAS ALREADY trying SO HARD to hold it, but i lost it...I FUCKING LOST IT, AND LAUGHED SOOOOOOOOOOOOO HARD, and she got pissed at me O_____________________O, but then later on, i told her that i got everything prepared just to scare her hahaha, for the LOLz. hahaha

okay, tats it, LOL i hope this post made some of u laugh, because, it made me laugh pretty hard tat day hahaha. SOOOOOOOOOOOO, bye all :)

Heart Station

It has again been a while. A week actually, if u want it to be exact, but to be honest, it doesnt feel like it has been a week. There are so much stuffs tat i wanted to say, more of personal and inspirational thoughts, than my personal life. However i want it to be, i can no longer skip the whole chunk of my life, outa my blog, because tats what makes the blog alive either way. So Here we go...

Anyway, for the obvious, last sunday was mother's day. This day, used to be quite non-related to me, untill now in my life. It has never ever been so special with mother's day. I spent ages to think what i needa get for mum, and what i needa do on the day. To celebrate her big day. Tell me, how many of u, have actually thought about celebrating and throwing a party upon, ur mum, and making her feel special, as if she is the coolest and the best mum in the world. If u ask me, i havent done tat in the past up untill now. What i personally think is that, my mum has sacrificed so much for me and my bro. Just everything, ranging from giving up BASICALLY HER LIFE, to us. I still remembered, how she can live her life far better than this. There wasnt a need for her to cook. there wasnt a need for her to wash the dishes, clean the house. All those were not needed back then, when we were still living in Malaysia. Then after moving to australia, she has to do all these houseworks, abandoning most of her friends, giving up her social life, and starting anew together with me and my bro. Having dad working in malaysia, and being separated from him for nearly 75% of the days in a year, roughly.

It's such a shame that i just thought about thanks giving her. Its not that i havent thort of loving her in such a way, but it just doesnt really cross my mind, when it comes to things like these. Especially for guys, its hard for us to convey our love to mums. haha. Nevertheless, finally, after buying so much stuff, i gave it a thought. I found out tat, it is really time, for me to buy my mum a present, by using my own money. With whatever i can afford. I dun earn alot on a weekly basis, maybe only enough for me to make some decent shopping throughout the week. But this week has been with a change. I finally wanted to buy my mum  a present so bad. So bad that it hurts. Its even worse than, wanting to buy that burberry that i wanted last time LOL. So i am glad, me and my gf actually pulled her along today, to the city to get her skirt and shirt.



Incase u havent realised, that was a belated birthday present haha. We had a discussion, and finally said that on mother's day, mum shudnt have to do anything. So basically, my gf cooked a whole bunch of meal. With my cousin and my bro playing PC games, and poor me helping her out HAHA. But nevertheless, the food tat she cooked were relatively nice, and mum was happy.
 I forgot which day was it that i bought Pocky. But i do remember, i have a weird habit of wanting to eat my gf's homemade ramen soup, recently especially after work haha. Her ramen soup tasted very japanese-authentic, and although it doesnt look as fancy as the store's, but the taste is just as good :) But it would be nice if she has some side dishes, to have it with :)
On Mother day's night, we went to Nandos..AND MY FUCKING BBQ WINGS MEAL FOR REMOVED????!!!!!! how dare ...u! LOL nah seriously, i was so cut. Tat was basically wat i would always get when i go there, and the only point for me to go there, is to eat the 5 bbq wings meal, and now tat, its gone, i wonder, how am i gonna keep living... LOL WTF HAHAHA! Either way, skiping the remaining story, and moving onto the real thing. :)

I really really like the blog posts, that my favourite bloggers have been posting these days. Especially how they juz convey how they feel on the blog, as if i can really feel them, whining or talking to me haha. And thats good, i really like tat. This is also one of the reason that i removed most of those useless blogs from my page, cause i juz thort, i dun need them, and instead i needed something original :)

Throughout the week, i came across the good old songs. By none other than F.I.R. I dun normally make any mentions with chinese songs, because every1 knows i hate emotional songs, ESPECIALLY CHINESE SONGS, since they are like 99% most of the time emotional, talking about love, and how love has made them suffer. I dun wan any of that. Thats why i still love this band: F.I.R. I am sure some of u chinese readers, know this band. It used to really famous, since their singles "Lydia", "Fly Away", "我要飛", and lastly "你的微笑" I wont mention a whole lot about all these songs, but i want to mention these two: Fly Away and 我要飛. 


I really like how these two songs are just straight to the point, speaking about how we should tackle the obstacles and big plateaus of our lives. I reckon just about anyone can have a go at listening to it.

我要飛:
Fly away:
I have tried to find english translation for the chinese lyrics, but i just cant seem to find it, and for most of you who know me..my chinese is so shit, that i cant even read properly LOL, i originally wanted to do my own version of translation just for you guys know what i am toking about but...i cant do tat LOL, or rather, i dun have the ability to do tat.


But either way, these two songs address some point in our life. Especially in the song "I want to fly, AKA 我要飛", the singer (Faye) mentioned about how she wants to fly, no matter how far the destination is, no matter what obstacles are in front of her life, she just wans to overtake them. She also mentioned " If theres a dream that u want, just go and chase it, ur just about to overcome ur biggest obstacle, and make sure you never back off". I really love this song to bits, because i love the songs that has strong meanings to it, and its not just plain boring emotional shit ass song. This song really hits me hard with these words, and reminded me that i shudnt back off, and should always proceed to chasing my dreams.


The last song that i wanna mention is called, Fly Away. I also love the way the song starts. Very unique and entertaining hahaha. The main thing that Faye is mentioning in this song is that, let the pain and anxiety to fly away. The power to carry on, is still there, so u got nothing to be afraid of. She's saying that, its time for us to make a big step, big dreams are there, and they are not easy to achieve, tats why we have to be keep being strong and brave. 


These songs both speak about my dreams and my feelings, and i really hope u guys can give it a go, and have a try. I am sure u will like it :) And sorry for the non-chinese speaking viewers. But i am sure u wud still love the song tho :)

Slices of Lights and Shadows

Hey ya guys. I have been wanting to make a blog post since ages ago, but somehow i juz didnt really post anything because i was too lazy to do anything. Just for the recent updates tho. 1stly, i have removed the chatbox or the shoutbox located on the right. This was done because i juz thort its been kinda bothering me for a while, especially with the colours, and stuff, and it looks kinda ugly sitting there. And besides, its not like alot of ppl wud go there and leave a comment for me, so might as well delete it. Another thing is that, i have deleted the comment section on the right, just so other ppl wudnt see wat are some of the comments. I deleted it because i juz thort there wasnt any need to put in so many so-called fancy stuff. So i am done with all those fancy stuffs on my blog. I think, staying original is the best way to go as well. I previously placed some ads and hoping that i can earn big bucks thru blogging, but tat was juz a stupid fantasy tat i had. So i aint really fussed with any sort of advertising anymore, but it aint hurting to put some on, so i got myself signed up with Nuffnang.

OK enough of these bullshits. Time to move on to some other interesting topics. So i got my pay on wednesday, the amount looked huge, and it got drained out in no time. Mainly because i still owe my mum some money, and i have to pay off bits and pieces here and there. But i had a look through different stuff online, and i figured out, maybe getting the shoes that i wan , isnt the way to go. I might need a replacement. The shoes that i originally wanted cost so much tat i cant even afford it with juz my 1 or 2 weeks pay. So i figured out, maybe its about time for me to get a switch, for the meantime, and get it sometime when i have the money. 

So one night, me and ken went to matt's place just to chat. It was originally a movie night session with those two mates, but i eventually called it off in the end. I just thort, its gonna be boring if we watch movie, since we hardly even had time to get together lik e this. We met up, and we toked about various things, ranging from how to gym, to how to succeed in life. Apparently, matt's gonna spend some money to organise a company because his dad is retiring soon. Which makes me wonder, what does tat make me? I am here standing on my ground for so long, my life has come with some changes, but not tat major of a step. This seriously made me jealous of him. I hope one day, i can have my own company, and manage my own stuff within the company as well. It's a big dream, dreaming is the 1st step towards ur goal. I am earning around 200-300 bucks everyweek, and i barely have 100-150 leftover, from the past weeks. Above all, i am still sucking in pretty much all my units, except for auditing. So, in terms of studies, i am still lacking a big pile.
Nevermind those stuff for now. So last week sometime, we went to harbour town. We, meaning matt me, cindy and my gf. I actually have got no mood to buy stuff these days, because all the stuffs tat i wanna but is located in the city. And i bet some of u know what i know wat kinda stuff that i wan. Ok, i admit, i love burberry shirts, and a pair of gucci shoes. Which i already calculated exactly how much i need, and i dun wanna say the figure, because i feel so fucking bad spending on juz clothes and shoes. This is why recently, i have completely reduced my buying habits and stuff like tat because i know nothing will make me satisfied except for those stuffs tat i truly want. I swear i only need some of them to make me fully satisfied..Well anyway, we went to harbour town, because stupid gf was saying she wans to go to the FOREVER NEW shop there, since its a factory outlet store. Some of the popular outlet stores include, Levi's and TRANSIT. Transit generally juz sells some asian clothes, and also shoes, which some of u may like the brands, such as Lacoste. But personally i am not fond of them lol.

Portugese BBQ burger with lemon and herb basing

5 BBQ wings meal, peri peri salt on chips, and mild sauce YUM TO THE FUCKING MAX

After shopping, we went to the GOOD OLD nandos restaurant. Believe me, i will never ever get satisfied even after eating so much. Right now, i am looking at the chickens, and burgers, they juz make me drool. Well some of u may ask me, wat do i normally order. Its simple, the BBQ wings, with chips. Sauce: Mild. It is so ridiculously delicious and its not even funny. I have started eating it alot since 1st year uni, and even now, after so long for not eating it, i still love them to bits. So, if u guys wan some tasty chicken, with some delicious sauce, u wont go wrong with NANDO'S.

For someone who wants to know the reason: HAHA, ok, well not exactly like tat, but i do get some questions coming from the public and my gf: Why arent u blogging about ur gf all too much, and how come she blogs so much. The main the reason is that, i dun see the point to blog about something emotional especially on my blog. and esp between us. Because the people who i care already knows our position, and all the other people dun need to know our position, cause tats juz simply pointless. :) I hope that makes some kinda sense. HAHA

OK another thing is......its not a very big deal for me, but it is for ...some other people, but anyway, IPHONE WHITE IS HERE, well duh, its here since like 2 weeks ago ? but then u know what tho, its in adeline's hands LOL. When she got it, u have no idea, how happy she was. And especially, when people are jealous of her having the phone, it makes her even happier. Its weird, maybe she was born a devil?

In the end, i just need to say, i hope i can make it through the tunnel...in terms of jobs, and work...Theres defs gonna be a glimpse of light, in every tunnel, i just hope, its NOT A FUCKING TRAIN THAT RUNS EVERYTHING OVER! hahahaha, anyway guys and girls, thanks for reading, and stay tuned for my next post. sorry this blog post was a bit boring :(

Love and signing off,

Watching the lights go down

Hey ya guys, how are u all. I hope u all are good, unlike me, suffering everyday LOL. Okay, so anyway, i posted alot last time, and juz kinda stopped for a while. Well, iam sure u know the reason why, and if u dun, then heres the reason, i have been super busy recently. With just everything + tiring stuff going on. Besides having to wake up at 5am every weekdays, i had to sort out alot of stuff, such as my PR and work applications stuff. So life right now, just has been really really tiring. Above all, despite of the double time pay, i have recieved last week, i have yet, again got nothing left in my socks. 110 goes to my gf cause i still owe her tat much, 110 goes to my mum cause i owe her tat much, 40 bucks goes to church donation, 50 bucks for the fuel, 50 bucks to matt cause i still owe him. My bank balance is still pretty bad, and also because of having so much debts, i finally came to realise the feelings of owing ppl. I should stop making my shopping list go up, while i still dun have the money.



I figured this out recently that, its better if i spend my own money. My mum told me, it doesnt matter how much u earn per week, the only thing tat matters is how much u get left over for a week. Tat is true, judging from the debts from this week, which was 110+110+50, all together i owe around 270 all up. Tat just means next week, i dun owe anybody. But then, i dun get to have tat fantasy, cause in fact i still owe my mum 100, because i borrowed 100, from her this week to pay off matt + bank account cause my phone credit got expired. So like i said before, i should probs start managing my money properly from now on. Having said that, i still get abnormally taxed during this period, and i dunno why. I should probs ring up taxation office and ask for more info sooner or later.

Winthrop dining table :)
 Either way, life is about learning. So its because i made these kinda mistakes, i make sure i dun keep making them. So from now on, i shud probs either save up or buy something when i actually get the money. Besides those, i dun really know wat i should reflect on. My last shopping was ages, and i only bought 2 levi's jeans from myer. U guys might probs wonder, why the fuck, am i spending tat much, how can i spend 300 per week. well u know wat? i dunno myself? LOL Tats why i personally juz think its better if i get high taxed, cause tat just means i get it back in the future, so its kinda like a savings account kinda thing, but its invisible lolol. So either way, enough of the fucking money and shopping shit. So anyway, to reward myself, i actually went to winthrop village to have ramen again, this wednesday. And moreover to meet up with matt. We havent met with each other for around a week, and it felt so long. But i had to kinda use the route, so i went pass his house, and we went to winthrop. Spent around 2 hours or 3 there, juz chatting, eating and drinking some shakes.
 Recently, after having to work so much at Hungry Jack's, i have witnessed so many pancakes. LOL so there we go, i actually went and bought msyelf some mini pancakes, with some butter and maple syrup on top. Which tasted like heaven, if u had the right microwave heating duration, and having the better spread evenly. Very tasty nice little breakfast that every1 can make, and it doesnt take tat long to make, above all. So all of u out there, wondering wat to eat for breakfast, heres some nice suggestions:

1. Pancakes
Just grab 2/3 pancakes, and put them onto the plate, over it with another plate, and heat it for 1 min. Make sure u have enough butter spread over the pancakes, and some syrup on top. While having tat ready, u can go and boil water for ur tea/milk/milo or anything hot.


2. Corn Flakes with milk
This breakfast has been really popular for me last time when i was joining the gym, and depending on the type of cornflakes tat u buy, u might end up being more healthy. Corn flakes, with dry fruits are always recommendable, comparing to those " tasty honey and sugary corn flakes", u should generally avoid those, cause they have large amount of sugar in them :)

3. 2 Steamed eggs with a hot tea/coffee/milk
This has been quite easy for me as well, however, i dun really feel filled after eating those, at tat instant, i needa wait a while for my stomarch to digest the food, and to feel the energy. Above all, after u have taken the eggs, it means u should avoid eating more eggs throughout the day, cause tat just means ur gonna be taking alot of excess yolks, unless u just eat the egg whites (which is alot better). However, this only takes 1/2 mins to make, so i recommend it for every1


4. Oatsmeal
I am the and most consistent with this one, simply because its a hot breakfast+i am pretty sure, they have the most little sugar in it, compared to the most. Cereals are always in my top list, and other than having it hot, its always good for me to have it during the morning, especially if its winter, to warm myself up.

Recently, i have discovered that i am heavily relying on hot drinks early in the morning, especially when i am working early. I guess its because i got no energy+its freezing every morning. So one or two hot drinks would always wake me up relatively quick, and give me a quick boost of energy.

All the above listed items, are all my favourite breakfasts, cause they all dun take too long to make. However some of them have some drawbacks, which is...being FATTY. Well its easy to identify, pancakes are relatively bad, cause of the flour being involved, sugar in both the pancakes, and syrup. Butter is consisted of oil, so we all know wat tat means, depending on what kinda butter u use, u might end up being unhealthy.

So, some of u may know, i recently have been going to the gym, after a long while resting. I recently got inspired by some videos, on youtube, and started joining again. Having said that, i havent officially joined the gym, cause its way too expensive for me to join straight up. And after having my bro to lecture me, i figured maybe i shud juz join it next week or so. i dun really wanna go thru all those long ass lecture that he gave me, but its not very ethical for me to juz keep going in for free LOL. Moving on..
5am at freo
 This is how it looks like in Fremantle when its 5am. The sky is always still dark, and i can see hardly any glimpse of sunlight at 5am. I have grown to witness the rise of sun every morning LOL. in the past, i have never ever dreamed that this could be happening, all my life, cause waking up early is never ever my type.

So either way, relatively vain post today, just about how to prepare breakfast, how my savings have gone downhill, and how my life is currently.

Well....thats all for today guys! Heres another song thats pretty good : Judas by Lady Gaga. go and try it out haha. That song is very symbolic. I hope u like it :) Night guys hahaa

Love, and signing off
