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.

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.
