First of it

Oh no! I actually skipped a class in this degree program! I feel so bad now. It was three classes as well, not one. Sigh, I was sick though, not really sick but I had a giant headache and a sore throat and it felt like all the energy in my body was sucked up by something. That was in the morning.

I just don't know what to do now, my joints are kinda hurting and my throat is still sore as hell. Headache dissipating thanks to 4 panadol pills. Hope I'll get better by tomorrow so I can actually go out. I need to be able to go out to go find a part time job. I just realized that spending the four off days rotting is not a good way to live. Might get a solid part time job that allows me to get some extra cash, as well as securing a summer job after my exams.

Oh well, super tired and hungry now. The worst possible combo for a student living overseas. I just want some hot soup and my mommy!

PS3 in the room

Hey all again. Back for another small update. If you have my twitter then you would've known that I have moved my PS3 into my room. For you all that did not know, I'm studying in Melbourne, Australia and is living with my friends, Heng Kit and Chicky.

So with the PS3 in my room, one would normally assume that I'll be playing it whole day, everyday. Not really, it has been pretty normal. Its just there so I have been playing bit by bit. But so far, I am loving the fact that I can snuggle up under the covers and play Skyrim. I have messed up a bit with some stats in this save account in Skyrim so I will have a great time falling asleep while playing my new account.

Today is a Thursday and I have dinner in half an hour with Eugene and Lai so I will stop soon. Urgh, wine class tomorrow, I have chosen to taste the wine and I regretted it a whole lot! Not pleasent. My tongue is totally not suited for this. Just had to let that out. Bye bye for now!

Addicted, Again

Hello all, as you all know, I'm a big fan of Korean songs but I haven't had anything that caught my attention for some time. Until now! Whew seriously this song is so awesome. Not the regular flashy or catchy K-Pop style that I always listen to but somehow, better. The artist is called Neon Bunny and the song is called Oh My Prince. This song has a techno feel but not like the clubby ones that I despise, more of an 80's feel if I had to put it in words (I don't listen to songs from the 80's but it just feels like it okay!). Her voice is smooth and there is nothing I don't love about this song. To check this song out, just click the link below!

Neon Bunny - Oh My Prince


ps: My special tip is just to listen to the song and not watch the video. You can say that the video... is a bit weird.

Freedom and Badminton

Helloooo! I'm finally free guys! Well at least for another two weeks but I am free! Woohoo!! I just can't get over the fact that I don't have work to do this weekend. There are some work but those can wait. Wine assignment yesterday was horrible, so hard to finish the god damn paper. Thank god I managed to finish on time.

Then today I went for badminton in Clayton. It was very fun. I thought that I wouldn't have a guy my level there (note that I'm very bad at badminton). But thank god for Chee. If Chee wasn't there then I would be dying. Fun day.

I'm so tired now and I have to cook dinner so tata everybody!

Deadly mistake

I'm screwed. I just did a terrible mistake. Deadly! So frustrated with myself. As you know, my wine assignment is due today. Its already 8.40a.m and I have another 1.3k words to write. It would be fine if I could bullcrap my way through it but I can't. I just can't crap about things I don't even know about. So screwed. I should've just stayed up all night last night and did it. Stupid body not able to stay awake. I even set my alarm at 3. Stupid body of mine went and snoozed it all the way to 7. Thank god I don't have to hand it in straight away. I have till 11.59p.m tonight to finish it. It's gonna be a long long day. Sigh.

What happened?

Hey all, I'm just gonna say this straight, I have drank again. I have my reasons though and yes, it is a solid reason. For everyone who don't know, I'm taking a degree in culinary management. So there's gonna be some studying of wine and liquors. So yeah, I drank a few sips of wine just now for the taste. After tasting it, I feel amazed at the people who can actually point out different tastes in the wine because I totally just taste simple flavours. When I say simple, I mean flavours such as bitter and sour. Now I'm scared of tomorrow where I'll be tasting more than 5 different wines and I actually have to say my opinion out loud.

To add oil to the flame, I have another assignment to pass up tomorrow, yay! I'm quite pumped for it though. First time in ages since I borrowed books from a library. First time in Australia and I picked up 6 of 'em. Feeling very motivated now. So lets burn some midnight oil y'all.

Oh and one more thing. I sincerely don't know why, but a certain friend of mine are not talking to me at all. Not replying direct messages, not replying messages in a group and certainly haven't talked in person. This started a few days ago and I thought it was just a joke. But now, it seems like he's genuinely angry at me, and I don't fucking know why. It is totally killing me to feel this. Imagine being in my spot. If I know what I did wrong then at least I could apologize. Oh my god this is eating me up inside so badly!

Thats all for now my readers. Assuming I have more than one. I'm lucky if I even have one reader. Thanks for reading and have a good day.

Spazzing Out

Hello again, this is gonna be a short one. I need to finish my assignment a.s.a.p so Imma just say what I have to say. So last night I decided to take a quick nap at 9p.m and wake up around 3a.m to continue on my assignment. All is well and I was sleeping when I suddenly woke up. It felt like I have slept for so long so I just tried to find my phone. *Note: I was in shock because the outside of my room seems to be bright*. So yeah, finding my phone. Took me a whole minute to find it because it fell from the bed. I saw 12:50a.m and I just freaked out. I have class today at 1p.m and my puny little brain couldn't differentiate the a.m's and p.m's at that time. So after freaking out and wearing my pants, I wen't out of my room and it was still dark as hell. Looked at my phone again and that was when it hit me. Dang, I just spazzed out for nothing and I don't know why, but I slept again and now I'm dying because I slept too long and I have no time to finish this assignment. AND YET I'M WRITING SOMETHING HERE! OKTHXBYE!

Tuesday 21st of August

Hey again, sorry for the 'no imagination' title. I'm too lazy to think of a title. Yeah as you can see, it is the 21st of August. Week 5 of my 2nd last semester (assuming I don't get held back) here in Melbourne. 2 assignments to pass up this week, one is due tomorrow and another on friday. Lots of time so I won't talk about it right now.

Yesterday was the day I went out with Winnie. I personally had a blast hanging out with her. Got to eat some nice things, drank coffee, and talk a whole lot. It was great, except for the fact that we got conned by some promotional gifts companies. Don't even ask how. But yeah, yesterday was her last day. Don't hesitate to drop by again!

Today is a new day. Not so interesting as the past 2 days but still, a new day. I don't know what to do now. I woke up at 6:30a.m and watched an episode of The Newsroom (Oh Olivia Munn *DROOLS*) and played a couple of games of League of Legends. Now I just have to find out what to do. My logical side is telling me to complete my assignment that is due tomorrow while my imaginative side is telling me to find some wallpapers of Olivia Munn. Wonder which should I choose ;)

The Gatherings

Hey all. Yesterday was the first day or Raya and it was amazing. Still wish I could spend it with my family back home but it certainly came pretty damn close. It was a very good day for me yesterday. Woke up really early to prepare the food. Had everything except the rendang ready by 10 and I felt really good.

There was the case of the frozen chicken but Azeem, Atiqah and I managed to sort it out in around 30 minutes. Then we started to cook the rendang which took so damn long! Thank you so much to Atiqah, Ainshah, Azeem and Mysarah for helping with the prepartion. Really couldn't have done it without you guys. Really would've died if there was no help, 13 people came to my apartment yesterday and I'm glad to say everyone had some food to eat. It was not one of those gatherings where if you came late, you wouldn't get anything.

I find that it was a lucky day for me as well. Yesterday, when I went to buy groceries at coles. I got some 'Duit Raya'. How? Well it was the courtesy of human error. I had a total receipt of 9 dollars something for my groceries and I paid with a 50 dollars note, then I got back 50 dollars with change. Yep, I got paid for shopping. Just a good way to start my day as well.

Oh yeah, the post is called the gatherings for a reason. There's another gathering as well. It was Heng Kit's birthday yesterday. Shout out to you brother! It was a 10 pax gathering at an Italian restaurant somewhere in Carlton. Had a blast! The pizzas were great, the place was cool and best of all, the company was awesome. Just a good birthday dinner all in all.

You must be thinking oh wow that's so cool and yadidadida. Don't get me wrong, it really was a great day but I wouldn't wanna do that every week. So tired yesterday and in fact, I still am. I think I'll rather have someone else hold a gathering next time. Well that's that. I'll finish off this post with a super witty comment that will surely make you laugh or at least pull a chuckle of you.

 BORING DAYS THAT CAN'T COMPARE TO YESTERDAY, HERE I COME!

ps. I just realized it wasn't that funny but I shan't back down with my words because that is not the Way of the Man!

Selamat Hari Raya!

Selamat Hari Raya or as everyone else in the world says it, Happy Eid Mubarak everybody!! Yep, today is the first day of Syawal and I am up so early. 6:30a.m now but I'm happy. The nasi empet is cooking, got stuffs for the kuah kacang ready and I just have to go to coles for a bit to get some little things for the gathering today.

Oh, if you didn't know. I kinda invited people on a whim to my apartment today for a Raya gathering or something like that. Azeem and Mysarah and some others are gonna come and cook the rendang while I get the rest done. I can't wait! Now I just have to clean my room before everyone wakes up. The room is in a mess so I guess I should get started now.

Thanks for reading and Selamat Hari Raya again!! :D

Uwaaaah

Hello. Its 12:46a.m now. Officially the last day of ramadhan and I'm so psyched! I also just woke up from a 10 hour nap. I have to say that it was super refreshing but I feel so bad now. I was supposed to wake up early and go for dinner with my friends and especially Winnie who came all the way from Sydney. I'm sorry Winnie!

About my assignment,  I finished it yesterday morning. 8.30am to be exact. Had a few bumps along the way but I'm kinda happy that I got it done in time. I shall try to start doing the other two assignments on tuesday so I won't be rushing like yesterday. Classes that came after that sleepless night wasn't very pleasent. I was yawning left and right and I couldn't even stay focused in the wine class. Thankfully I already read the reading for sustainability and amazingly I knew what the lecturer was talking about the whole class. Accreditation and Certification isn't something so boring after all.

 That's all the update for now, I shall go find something to eat since I'm soooooooooooo hungry. Bye bye.

Alarmingly Calm

Hey all, I'm writing this on a Thurday morning while I'm waiting for Heng Kit to finish showering. Got class in half an hour and I'm totally not looking forward to it. If you're wondering, I'm doing good, not really normal if you look at what I've been doing but still good.

This week is the 4th week of my second semester as a degree student. It is also the week that I have to pass up my Research Methods paper, tomorrow to be exact. Why did I bring it up? Yes! You guessed it right (assuming you know me well). I have not even started! Why? Because I am a stupid fool who's also lazy and does not think about the things he do and how it would affect his future. Quite a way to describe myself don't you think?

So I have not started my assignment that is due tomorrow. So if I count from now, 37 hours and 12 minutes. If I minus a few hours from sleep, classes, games, and other stuffs, I'm left with around around 12 hours left to do this paper. Seems plenty to me. That's why I am calm. Surprising even to me. I have to say that I'm kinda used to doing my assignments at the last minute but this is just too close for comfort.

The assignment is just 1500 words so I guess I could summon all the strength in my body to stop being lazy for just a few hours and do this god damn assignment. I better step up as well. This is just the starter. Next week I have two assignments to pass up and I don't even know what those assignments are! Sigh, sometimes I hate games for making me the person I am now. LOL who am I kidding. I love games, and I'll never stop playing 'em.

That's all for this update. Good day to everyone and tata.

My Friend

Hello again, not in a good place here. I'm pissed at my friend for what he did just now. We've known each other for more than 10 years and yet you still manage to piss me off like no one can. Once or twice of rudeness is okay because that's what good friends do. We go through the polite barrier of some sort and just be blunt to each other.

Well, that's what I thought. I personally think there's a limit to how much you can be an ass to someone without actually pissing them off. It's different for everyone. One could be pissed right away and one could even scrape through all the burns and just live life normally. I personally think that I'm just a tad easily pissed than the normal line. I can take a few jokes but some jokes are just off limits if you don't know me that well.

But sigh, I won't tell what happened since it's just wrong to that person. So I just end this stupid rant now and I shall write some other time. Writing with anger seems to be okay lol, its calming me down bit by bit. Who knew.

Till the next time, Faizal Othman signing out.

So Many Things

Hello again. Sorry for not writing for more than a week. Not because I've been extremely lazy. I was just super lazy to write anything. Well not many people are reading anyway so I guess no one will be hurt by my laziness.

So, what the hell happened this past week? To be honest a lot of things happened, mostly boring but there are some that are nice. Let's get to it then.

1. My brother.

Yes my brother came to Melbourne last week. To visit me he says but I'm not buying any of that crap. Well seeing me was in one of the reasons he came here but I just can't trust that sneaky brother of mine. No offense to him, I love him but he's just super sneaky. It was fun while he was here. Ate some free food, YES FREE! Oh my god it was so nice to not pay a single cent for food. While he was here, we played a whole lot of Fifa 12 as well. Dang I think I lost more times but it was still awesome to play with someone who's a bit better than me. Playing with Chee and Azeem all the time wouldn't help me increase my skills. No offense to you guys. Last but not least, he bought me a ton of snacks for me to get through this winter. Thank you my brother, I love you.

2. Gastronomy Class

Wooh, what can I say. I love this class. One of the most interesting subject I have ever studied. It is so broad but still so exciting to me. Last class, we watched a 20 minutes video about a guy talking about his boar and what he'll do with it while he consults some people. Sounds stupid but I actually learned something from that. To top it all off, the lecturers cooked something up for us to learn about our tastebuds and gave us a 2 course meal. SO GOOD!! It was nice of them as well to wait for me to break my fast first. Yay!

3. Assignments

URGH ASSIGNMENTS I HATE YOU. Well I have a total of 3 assignments to pass up in these 2 weeks with a total of 5000 words to be written. One about critiquing an article, one about a wine region that I have never heard before and one more about gastronomy and what does it mean to you. Its gonna drive me crazy I tell you.

I forgot what I wanted to write already so I guess I'll stop here. Thanks for reading and have a nice day/night.

Unfit

Hey all, I'm back with a boring update on my not so awesome life. It seems that I'm getting unfit. Is that even a word? I don't know but who cares. Back to the point, I'm getting so unfit that I can't even go to a 1 hour lecture class without getting tired. Is it just because I'm lacking sleep? Well sleeping for 7 hours doesn't compare to my normal 12 hour sleep routine but its enough though. Right?

Is it because I'm fasting? Well I didn't sahur today so that might the case for today. But what about yesterday? I ate a whole lot for sahur and I still got super tired. Urgh, the talk about food is making me super hungry now. Damn it.

Guess I need to hit the gym from now on. Just enough to get me back in shape for class. I forgot how tiring learning is. That is it for now peeps. Will do the old but not forgotten farewell of mine, peaches y'all.
