Okay I've actually written around a page worth of words about how bad my day went but I guess God is still not satisfied. Somehow all that I've written was erased by a browser malfunction and there wasn't any auto save. Fuck my life. Sometimes life just gives you lemons. Super sour lemons at that. But I guess I have to get through it even if I have to put a sour face for it.
Oh well. FYI it was totally not worth it. The things I did in relation to what happened at the end of the day.

Food Writing?
Hello all, something other than a rant today. As you all know, I'm taking a course in Culinary Management and in the course, I've stumbled upon the topic of food writing. Kinda interesting to know that there are many things you could do by simply writing about food. I love to write, when it's in the form of a story or just a rant. Not when it is a report or some sort of academic article. So writing professionally seems a bit hard for me. But last week, in a class of mine, a lecturer of mine asked everyone in the class to write something related to food, preferably a food experience that we've had.
I'm a lazy student, doing work in class just doesn't fit my bill. But when you're in a class of 6, you don't have a choice. So write I did. The fact that I was writing was already amazing, what I managed to write in 15 minutes though, was a miracle. Kinda made me interested in writing a bit more than before.
I'm just gonna post what I wrote here. The title is shady because I just can't think of anything better. So here it is, Best Kebab Ever!
A few minutes before sundown, right at the end of Ramadhan. I was eagerly waiting at the table full of food. One dish in particular was making me salivate beyond control. The chicken kebab.
It's a simple dish but with the steam coming from it, the tatziki sauce dripping on the plate, and the bits of chicken visible from the side. It feels like it was teasing me.
Almost fainting with hunger, I heard the announcement on the radio which signals the end of the fasting day. Without even thinking, I grabbed the kebab and shoved it into my mouth,
The first thing I felt was pain. It wasn't smart of me to eat a piping hot kebab right way so I waited again, now feeling like the kebab was laughing at me. After rigorous blowing and patient waiting. I took another bite.
The warm chicken paired with the garlic tatziki along with the crunchy lettuce was just like heaven at that moment. Without realizing, I finished the kebab and regretted not buying another. To this day, I can't think of another kebab that is better.
A very small piece but considering that I had only 15 minutes, I think I did pretty well. And it was my first try at it too! What do you think? Leave your comments below and if I get good responses, I might just pursue this as a career choice. Thinking too far ahead but I gotta start somewhere. Till then, that's all for now. Bye!

Why I hate group work
Hello again people, back for another rant, safe to say that this blog is just for rants now, might be more soon but I only have the mood to write when I'm badmouthing people. Yeah, as the title suggests, I hate working in a group. Specifically, I hate working in a group for assignments. I just hate it.
I know for a fact that I'm one of the laziest person ever, but I can vouch for myself that I still finish my work, on time too! But when it is for a group, I can't just let my laziness be the other people's downfall so I try to do some work early, even if I still drag on the work. But this time, I can't take it. Went to a meeting and the only thing we did there was copy and paste. Seriously, I could even do that in my sleep if I want to. What the fuck is that even worth doing for? You just say "Eee I don't wanna do this. Eee this is hard." and you can just dish it out on the rest of us. Okay I'm at fault for choosing the hard one because I don't trust these people but I'm sure you can relate.
I'm being an asshole here when I'm saying that I feel superior to them in this sense. So what if they read this. I'm voicing out my opinion. It's a free world the last time I check, people can still voice their opinions freely. Yeah I feel some ideas they give are dumb, yes I'm just being self-centered when I say that. Thinking that I'm always right doesn't help either. But when you actually see what we even did there, we might as well do it through text messaging, I would still be pissed, but at least I could be pissed in my room.
Fuck, I'm so furious right now. I respect people who can work in groups. Seriously. I'm smug, I know, and its a mistake as well to selfishly try to lead this group. No one wanted to do it, why the heck should I just let these people lead me to failure. Even if I fail this subject, I wouldn't mind since I tried, I can safely say that I try doing what I think is right and if that's not enough, guess all the bad things I said about myself is true. I might just be too smug to notice it.
*sigh* Can't really bother to care anymore. Even thinking of the small things you guys did are pissing me off. Maybe I really can't work with one of you anymore. Even the things I tried to do to help him are just being brushed off. Plus, he can even say I didn't try to help. (This will sound weird but I just need to say it) HELLO SIR! You yourself haven't been coming to class, I don't care if its because you had food poisoning, you woke up late or your toilet's occupied. You don't say that I didn't say anything when you yourself didn't even listen to what I said. "You didn't say anything also!" MY ASS!
That's the end of the rant for today. I'm just gonna let off some steam by cursing in the shower. Bye people!

Too DIM to SUM it all up
Hi all, back again for another food update. Today, I went and had dim sum with a bunch of my friends in Shark Fin Inn. If I were to sum it all in one word, it would be insufficient.
I had an embarrassing start, went to Shark Fin House instead of Inn and I had to put on my red face and walk out of that crowded place. It was cool though because 3 of my friends did the same mistake. Hah, talk about a funny experience.
Okay okay, lets get to the food. Sorry to say but I'm not the type of guy who likes to take pictures of food, especially when its not made by me. As you all know, I can't eat pork so I'm just gonna list down food that I ate because I'm too lazy to talk about it one by one.
(In no particular order)
1. Chicken Feet, (with some red sauce)
2. Prawn Chee Cheong Fan (I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL THAT SHIT)
3. Some prawn thingy
4. Hakka something (Again, I don't know these chinese names)
5. Golden Sand
6. Some Lotus Paste bun
7. Egg tart!!!
8. A WHOLE LOT OF TEA
Lol, so yeah, it was not enough. It's not like everything's big, as it is called dim sum, everything comes in a small plate. With that, I can only eat so much. BUT THAT EGG TART WAS GOOD! I wish I can have more egg tarts... especially the Portuguese ones. But oh well, I didn't have to pay for the pork dishes so yay!
After that I went to Sensory Lab for some coffee. Had a bunch of random talks with my friends and it was awesome. Coffee and company, what more could anyone want? Wish they have these coffee establishments in Malaysia. Not some massive chain companies like Starbucks where kids go there to study because there's free wi-fi and air conditioning. If it's like that, I might as well go drink coffee in my house. Better internet and I would have a huge ass TV if I ever get bored.
Oh well, that's all for now. Thank for reading and I'll catch you later.

Almost officially dead, and the noob and the noober
Hello all again. It has been so long isn't it? Well, I'm just here to bitch about something because I can't do it on twitter or facebook. *laughs*
So let's get it started. This is a game rant so people who don't know what I'm talking about, sorry in advance. I just hate it when noobs, (the term noob is so loose here since I can't be called good yet) go complain about other players when they themselves aren't performing. It's like... complaining why the garbage man didn't pick up the garbage when you yourself didn't take the garbage out. It's just pointless. If you're so good like you say, why have I never seen you do as well as... hurm let me think for a bit.... that guy over there? The best among our team? or let's just even say me. If you're not doing that well in the game, even if you're so good and just having a bad day, just admit its your fault. Shit man, you're so low on the proficiency level of the game and you're talking like you're the best. I might be like you sometimes but at least I know my shits. Be a bit humble and just practice, you'll be amazed at how well you can do if you just shut it and just concentrate on your problems instead of others.
Sigh, such a long rant, and right after a long absence. I'm sorry. This blog seems like it's dying. I have tons of assignment due in these next few weeks so I might be writing more than what I should. Let's see. I forgot how calming writing here feels like. See you some other time then, if I ever write again.

Super Update (21/9/2012)
Hey all, back again after a sudden dissapearance. Is that spelled correctly? Lol I don't remember how to type after all this while. I'm suddenly itching to write again after so long. Why? Because I have an assignment due tomorrow morning and I have gone back to the way of the procrastinator. What is the best way to procrastinate other than by writing something totally unrelated to my work.
So let's do a huge recap of what I have been doing since the last time I wrote a post. Brace yourself, this is gonna be a long one.
1. My brother came to Melbourne (again).
2. Heng Kit's cousin came to Melbourne (again).
3. Cooking beef stew with Eugene
4. So called shopping trip with Chee
5. Work for Heng Kit's boss.
6. The present?
Okay, so lets start from number 1. My brother payed me a visit a couple of weeks back and I would say that it was one of the most exciting weekend I have spent with my brother. I haven't spend enough time with him and I certainly don't remember what we would even do for fun together. The biggest reason his second trip here to see me is different was because he actually bunked together with me. He used to stay at some backpacking hostel whenever he comes here and we could never spend enough time together because he has to go back before he gets really tired and all. NOT THIS TIME!
With all the time in the world, what do you expect we would do? Play games of course. We played Fifa 12 most of the time and we even played a season on Football Manager 2012 just for the heck of it. I lost, so I'm kinda bitter with that game. We also went shopping! Yes, shopping! I have waited for him for a few weeks because I have scouted the shops here and came up with a 'to buy' list. With his money around, I just went crazy. From the shopping trips, I bought a new bag, a pair of shoes, 2 pairs of pants, a belt, a t-shirt, a hoodie, a thumbdrive, and a whole lot of junk food. Thanks my brother, thanks a lot!
Even if he was here for only 4 days, I still felt lonely after he left, I realized that I really missed my brother and the time I spent with him was only a reminder of how I missed him. It wasn't enough but I have to get by with what I get, even if its not enough. But I didn't have to wait long to see another familiar face back in this apartment. Heng Kit's cousin, Shien, came to visit Melbourne, again, and he's bunking on my couch in the living room. He came a week ago and is still here in my apartment as I'm writing this. He's a cool guy, but one thing can't escape my mind, I wonder what he's actually doing here. I've asked him a few times and he gives a different answer every single time. I can't help but think that he's just running away from reality since he just finished his degree and is going to enter the real world soon.
Can't really say much about him because I've only managed to do a few things with him and that includes talking random shits including girls over dinner or lunch, beat him in Fifa 12 effortlessly, and watch tv mindlessly together. So lets go to the next update, the beef stew dinner with Eugene.
This one is a bit short but I think it is still a big thing that I've done in the past 2 weeks. Yup, so last monday, I went to Eugene's to cook up some dinner because I don't feel like eating at home alone. It was originally a dinner outside but Eugene decided to save up some money by asking me to cook. "Okay" I said. To Woolworths, we went. There, I found out that Eugene is one of the weirdest picky eater ever. He doesn't like tomato based sauces! How can somebody not like those things, he also hates beans but that's not really important here. How could somebody hate tomato based sauces?! What do they eat? Most Italian food would be out of the question for sure. Okay enough about that tiny rant. So we bought stuff, cooked some beef stew and ate some beef stew. Oh yeah, I got stuck in his apartment till 11 too. All because of the fucking rain. Sometimes I just hate Melbourne weather.
To the next point! Which is... (Sorry for not remembering because I've written so much that I can't see the points anymore and I'm lazy to scroll up) The so called shopping trip with Chee! To start this update off, I hate you Chee for not pushing me hard enough to buy that 25 dollar hoodie from Mossimo! Argh. I need more Hoodies!!! Okay, with that out of the way, let's get to what I actually did. I actually started the day, the day before. Yup, because I didn't sleep. Why didn't I sleep? I don't know myself. So it wouldn't take a genius to know that I was super tired on that day. But I still stuck to the plan because I didn't want to ditch a friend (Aww so nice right?). Chee and I started the shopping trip with lunch in Manchester Press. Awesome bagels as always. Then we went to the South Wharf DFO. To my amazement, most of the shops there look like they are going to close some time soon. Most of the clothes shops are running out of clothes to sell and everything was super cheap. I regretted not bringing my brother there when I had the chance. Chee got a few items there and I have to say that it was worth it. Abercrombie and Fitch sweater for only 15 dollars? Where else can you get that?! After that, we went to some place to chill and we had dinner after. Simple stuffs.
The next day, I had to go to work. I was kinda sad to work on that day because it was Eugene's birthday and I had to miss out on the celebrations. Sorry Eugene! But emotions aside, working there was very rewarding. I was reminded on the importance of time management and also task managing. 2 major things a manager need to know well. I'm not gonna explain every single thing I did there. I'm too tired of this super long update and I need to end this quick. To sum it all up, I managed to pay myself back for the Steelseries headphones and still have 30 extra dollars to spend. I also learned some important skills and I get to see tons of beautiful girls. Both Whites and Asians. Shout out to that super pretty Asian chick with short hair and nice long legs with that douchy boyfriend. (douchy wasn't my word okay, somebody else said it so I'm just using his words)
So there you have it, a super long update which I bet, you didn't even read fully. Bet you missed the whole section where I said gibberish like doodle poodle woodle. If you were looking for it, I rest my case. Oh yes, the present update. Nothing much, school holiday starting after 5 more hours of class. I apparently have a music event to attend, two so called outings (dates) with 2 different girls. WHAT? DATES? WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT EARLIER FAIZAL?! That's the thing, I would not say they are even interested in me and likewise, I mean in a relationship sense okay. So those two are... I could say obligation dates because they have not hung out with me for so long. Well who knows, I would like to update more but I have lost my interest in blogging again. If I'm not drowned by assignments I would love to write more so wish me the best.
Thanks for reading and I hope you all the best as well and Happy Friday!

Pumped, Weirded out, Crushed and Crushed again.
Hey all, how are you doing? Hope you are well and I'm pretty sure you're not doing as bad as I am right now. Like the title reads, today, I had a blast of multiple emotions, both good and bad. It was a roller coaster to be honest and it does not even involve something so lovey or heartbreaking or eewy or what ever. It is just a normal day with some messed up moments.
To get to the juicy bits of the story, one must start at the beginning. So today starts as a normal day, woke up pretty late, 20 minutes before class to be exact, took a shower, drank some coffee and I walked my tiny ass to class. There I was, in class, having the biggest eye bags one could have, stoning. Then Rui Wei walks in. As he was sitting down, I noticed something different about him, he had a hair cut. That thought was the beginning of the weirdest day of this semester, well the night I met the two Korean girls would still be at the top but this one is a close second.
The hair cut. Just a simple action but with dire consequences depending on the person. For me, it is a big deal. Yes, I care about my hair and how it looks, even if the rest of me isn't up to the satisfactory level. My hair was long and I had planned to grow but have failed to follow the plan countless of times due to different reasons. So I thought to myself, should I go for it? My hair have been quite troublesome lately so I just thought "What the heck, lets do it.".
To the hair salon I went. I decided to go to a korean hair salon which needs booking before hand so I had to go back to my apartment and find the number. Luckily, there was an opening an hour after I reach home so I went for it. With me being all pumped up, I walked to the place thinking it was going to be a good decision but I guess my luck wasn't that good because it rained half way through my journey. To my amazement, the sky cleared up right after I set foot into the salon. So okay, I'm in the salon thinking of what to say to the hair dresser once its my turn when I had the weirdest thought, "Lets just shave one side of the head and leave the rest long!" said my brain.
What did I do? I followed subtly because that is my brain and I have to follow what my brain says. Even with the weird decision, I have to say that it looks kinda good. Still kinda weirded out but I'll manage. Now that the weirded out part is done, lets get to the crushed part of the story.
So I went back home and cooked some dinner, nothing major there. After dinner though, I got an e-mail from my Gastronomy lecturer regarding my first assessment. I have to admit that I thought I did a good job with the assessment and was going to get at least a credit, if not, distinction. Boy was I wrong, so wrong. I only got a measly pass. There goes my self confidence. But that's not all, she even wrote some comments that kinda hurt my feelings a little bit. I know I should take it as guidance and not take it to heart but words hurt. To my amazement, I wasn't the only one who got this low ass mark. The rest of my housemates got pass as well and we had a long talk about how bummed we were.
Now, I'm in my room, writing this post to release some pain off my chest. I seriously thought that this subject was 'my' subject. I felt like everything connected when I'm studying this subject. Guess I'm not doing it right. Crushed as hell now and I just realized that I have two more assessments for this class. The next one is a whopping 50% of the total subject. With all this negativity, I doubt I'll pass this subject. Sigh.
ps. I'm not even sorry for this long post. If its too long for you then just don't read it.
To get to the juicy bits of the story, one must start at the beginning. So today starts as a normal day, woke up pretty late, 20 minutes before class to be exact, took a shower, drank some coffee and I walked my tiny ass to class. There I was, in class, having the biggest eye bags one could have, stoning. Then Rui Wei walks in. As he was sitting down, I noticed something different about him, he had a hair cut. That thought was the beginning of the weirdest day of this semester, well the night I met the two Korean girls would still be at the top but this one is a close second.
