Random curiosity

Ok this is sort of me been boring or random or whatever u wanna put it. This thought come to me as i was playing games on FB while hearing my housemate (that #$% litter bug boy) and friends yelling, cheering, moaning in their game....

English words as we all know, don't have specific tone in reading it, the tones only varies with our emotion at the moment, most non-English speaker (ie English not ya first language) aka people like me and you, we sometime mimic them, pretend we are so American or British in a way. Which lead to a confession (which be already know), i actually hate it when people esp if the person not even that deep in religious using the phase "Oh my God" in every situation (appropriate or inappropriate), have encounter a few strangers in campus or bus using it in 8/10 sentence she spoke, the person English pronunciation is overall bad except for the "oh my god" and every time that word come out it sound like the blonde cheerleader bitch which we all hate in the typical teen movies (where the ordinary 'ugly duckling' usually the winner that end up with the football team leader in this sort of movie while the bitch yell "nooo..." over whatever bad end she deserve sort of movie)

So whoever who read this and happen to discover u r the person i hate, here a suggestion (which of cos u can choose to ignore cos who am i to tell you what to do). In case u don't realize, there r word like "f***", "s**t", "d**n" as alternative, don't have to bring out God in every sentence, u can add in Oh in front of that 3 word too, or for girl "oh my" is good enough to exclaim ur surprise and shock in some case. It's getting annoying to hear "oh my God" over and over, esp if you not even English speaker, i rather u use "mother", "celaka" or whatever ur mother tougue day to day swear word u love to use.

End of side note, back to main topic, my housemate make me realise "noooo~" yeah~~~" "f**kkkk" "s**ttttt" "ahhhh~"etc all those swear word u mourn or scream out during 'excitement" all got same tone... hmm... why ah? not like in chinese word we got tone in pronunciation which is why in some case, same word, different way to read it give different, meaning in Chinese. Human natural?

Vanya's Birthday

Should have post this long time ago but always too lazy to upload the pic~ since it's kinda long time ago, last month i edi forgot what we did that day hahaha beside it's all about walking around, window shopping~

We went to waterfront city cos Vanya said she never been there (unbelievable... and she's here for 3rd year this year....) we wanna spoil ourselves and have some fancy lunch there.... but dunno which restaurant good + the one that looks good all italian... don't feel like having Italian food + i know places that offer nicer and cheaper Italian food. So we keep walking and end up in Habour Town shopping center. (Be u haven't been to this place, it's the place where they plan to build 'eye's of melbourne' kinda thing) Habour town would be very nice to shop at during summer cos it's kinda open air shopping area, not the usual inside a building kinda shopping center. Not very nice in winter i suppose hahah who wanna sambil shop sambil get blown by cold wind, not to mention it's next to the river connect to sea kinda place, winds are very strong there, no kidding man~ Shops there mostly DFO style, u can find bargain there~ i buy my new medium size luggage there :P Here's a pic i steal from somewhere on the net~
anyhow a bit out of topic~

We end up in Chilipadi, restaurant i once thought to be expensive cos the one open in melb center look so nice and it's next to those other restaurant that main course cost $20 and above~ It's actually just normal price (by melbourne standard), chain restaurant, how expensive it can be? Food there are quite nice, it's both malaysia and Japanese style. (not very authentic but still taste alright + they r quite generous with the stuff they put, got squid, prawn etc)
The birthday girl that day, i think that one is beef rendang.
This is my char keuy teow

Very satisfying though we dunno why our luxury meal plan become ordinary food hahaha We shop around after that... we seriously think shop there should paid commission to me and Vanya for i once again discover we both have the talent to attract customers. Whenever one of us went in a empty shop with someone, not long after that the shop is bound to be full of people with peoples all come in one by one after us..... why ah? and it's not just one or two shop, it's every shop man! and there we were thinking oo this shop look empty let's go in see since i really don't like crowd. The more people it is in a shop, the more unlikely i am to walk in and stay long inside, unless i really like that brand and there's bargain to jump in for. So yesh we bring in crowds to every shop we walk in even though we didn't buy anything....

After some walk around, i feel that my second stomach was ready for second meal - desserts! Drag Vanya into Movenpick! Once again that shop is empty, not a single person inside, but after we walk in, bought our ice-cream and sat on a table, customers start pouring in! Umm... i kinda regret with the ice-cream flavor i choose that day hahaha thought of trying out something different and well it taste kinda weird... should have choose something more ordinary cos that's what Movenpick famous for~ umm... my hair look weird in the pic.... expected judging from the wind that day.... it's good enough that i don't look like Medusa here~ sigh~ i sure envy ang mo people with straight hair... their hair look so nice to manage~ even after been blown by wind they look so elegant (while we look like Medusa~)

We went back to city after that and walk around again~ forgot what we do after that hahaha just remember we walk past bourke street mall cos of this picture This shop very nice one, sell a lot of unique items~ expensive and useless stuff but there are collectors out there who willing to pour $ for it~ nice shop to look at :D

Rubbish

I was making myself a cup of Milo just now and while i was waiting for the water to boil, i was staring at the rubbish bin.... Vanya, Hisham, my cousins and my mum have heard a lot from me complaining about rubbish problem in my house and how fed up i am to be somebody 'mummy' or 'kakak', @#$% betul! everyone in this household is at least 20 and over and seriously why would u wanna get nag by someone similar or younger than ur age to do this and that when those stuff are common sense and any reasonable person would know and do it!

Really how hard is it for a 20+ years old person who mentality status fit enough to enter an university to pull a plastic bag up, tie it, carry it and bring it out? not to mention distance to big bin from kitchen is less than 10 meter.
This is how the rubbish bin looks like now~ been like that since last friday, it's already in a state that i can't even pull the plastic bag up without having to use hand to clear the top part into another bag. After i told them not to leave recycle items on floor for more than 2 days this is what we got everything goes in the bin just because they don't wanna walk out, u can see the can, the box and the yogurt container are recyclable item. The milk bottle and that box on the floor only appear today, not yet 48 hrs... let see if it's stay there or what... This really remind me of the public big rubbish bin in market or supermarket.... these people should really thanks god we r in winter now or something bound to be rotting inside there and releasing 'nice' smelling gas by now.

Why do i complain so much here when i didn't throw that out? i simply don't want! why would i when non of the item there contribute to me and when i already throw 70% of the rubbish on their behalf before that. Beside, that one just by the look already give me headache, am not in the mood to be nice person right now. Believe me, this pic is not showing the worst... there used to be even worst where the rubbish bin look like that and there's still few bags around the bins with some spilling out + bottles and cans everywhere~

It's COLD!!!!

Dunno why... me been staying in the same room whole day, daytime okay lah it's sunny and i open up my blind to allow lot's of sunshine in my room but starting from 8 sth jst now, me been feeling very very cold..... it's 8 degree outside yesh but been like that whole week boh~ why tonight esp cold ah~ is it cos today day time quite ok temp so when night temp is below 10 degree me feel like am in the fridge?

Duvet02 is currently out serving me.... last year he only come out in winter... just prove how different was last year winter with this year's one. People who been to my bedroom or heard me talk about 'him' (not a 'her' cos am not lesb and yesh am deeply in love with 'him', cuddle up in it whole day nowadays~ 'he's' so cozy~) probably know~ i have 2 duvet, serve me since my day 1 in NZ. Parent and sister got it from Warehouse~ Duvet01 is summer one, though in Aus summer u never wanna use it. Duvet02 is autumn one (i don't really feel different nowadays... maybe old edi need replacement??) anyhow, Duvet01 and Duvet 02 combine together like power ranger punya robot (got a button that clip them together) become Winter. Never bother to do so in Aus cos many of u would know weather in Aus is like Stepmother punya mood... change very fast... some night u would feel just right with Duvet 01 or 02 but other night u need them together~

Dunno why am i ending up writing this hahaha but oh well~ back to shivering in my 'lover's' embrace~

Shopping is cheap addiction?

Saw this headline in Mx (those free newspaper u pick up in train station at city).

The only time shopping is cheap addiction is when u can't find something to buy, but then didn't buy anything still can call 'shopping' meh?According to the articles mention Gen Yers (aka us) appear to happy to shop offen (shopaholic lah in other word) but also keen to seek bargain (ie price sensitive cos we r poor~ so sad passionate shopper but didn't have $ to spend~) This definitely apply to me, esp this year hahaha (and Vanya too)

When i first come to melb, i hardly buy any clothes and even if i did, almost all of them are under $30... this has changed over the years... am no longer converting (mati lol~) Good thing all the stuff i buy are still under $50. Over $50 is like Rm130 sth man, we can buy good quality branded stuff edi back in Malaysia. (stuff from G2000, padini etc) The only thing that worth more than $50 are generally electronic stuff like my hard drive, MP3, printer etc~ and those r reasonable spending lah, not like i buy them every year or what and they last for years too~ but that's still a lot of spending in overall >_< (oh forgot to mention my skincare also expensive stuff but most of them i stock up from malaysia so still ok~)

Is VIP day/night season again~ aka time to waste $$. I just went down to city to check out Melbourne Central VIP day after my tutorial end at 1pm, managed to catch an express train to city (yea! 20 minutes journey become 10mins~) Lucky for me, winter clothes are generally expensive, even after the exclusive discount, most of them are over $50. The price put off my desire haha~ but gosh, Esprit's new puffa jacket so colorful and nice (very comfortable and warm and it's worth buying) ~ but no $ and i don't need it~ Love that pink one with fur~ but in aus the brown and white one down there is better cos the neck part can help u block away the cold wind (the reason why winter feel so cold despite no snow)

Was looking for a winter jacket for my mama and aiyah what she want is very simple, but leh, very hard to find one that meet her requirement these days.... She looking for a very ordinary jacket like the one u can find form Roxy, Billabong, Converse etc BUT she don't want any big writing or drawing on it... very small logo is acceptable... also don't want too fashionable one cos she only wear it once in a while when she go vacation on a 4 season country and must be under $100. ( i pull up the budget cos i think she deserve good clothing + also make it easier for me to find)

Now u tell me, where can find one like that boh~ winter jacket esp the one that fit her description is worth investing, cos can wear for years, and all the brand i can think off all obsess with having big logo or printing on it~ got one lah, my Fila jacket which i got for $20 but that jacket ah if during very cold day ie max temp 15, it's not enough~ need another layer outside or a jumper inside~ Country Road also got similar one with my Fila, and that one even nice, 100% no writing (my fila got small logo said Fila at a corner, silver colour not very visible) but CR one cost like $70 if no mistake. Why spend so much buy one jacket which similar to my $20 one and also not warm enough deh? haiyah, always like this, when desperately shop for something u can never get the one u want. Now am thinking of Katmandu or go DFO see if got anything good on sale~ My mum actually bought one Navy blue jacket when she come to melb with me on Feb, billabong i think, got a big logo (no writing) she was ok with it until she go home and think don't want lah... so now that jacket is temporary belong to me (reserved), if i can't find one, i will ask just ask her to stick with that one! WAH seriously keluar topic (tak apa still shopping mah~)

Today i got myself sth from Kikki + 3 books from boarders for $35 sth (40% off) *kaching* + many more $$ to foods and drinks.... then i manage to squeeze into a peak hour train, even got myself a seat and it's another express train!! Train speed during peak hour also much faster~ Next week is Chadstone VIP.... good excused to ask friend to go out hehehe~ I just spend $50 on clothes last week in Southland so my desire to buy something pretty much been satisfied unlikely to spend much (i predict if i go i will waste $ on food again~ Boost juice!) Vanya... umm dunno what got into her this sem, her limit been rising~ i kinda suspect anything below $100 is ok for her seeing how she spend on her last 3 dress (which i scold her for not wearing, her excuses - it's winter... well sorta true.... those dress r kinda spring/summer~ but at least wear once mah~)

Conclusion: siapa kata it's cheap addiction boh?? if it's cheap then why $$ in bank account decrease only~ It's a guilty pleasure i admit~ make a girl like me happy~ :P

You help me, i help u

This is one epic video from the recent Sibu by-election on Saturday night, before the day of the voting which end up with the defeat of Robert lau Jr. Watch this video, found it funny in a way and he sound desperate...



First of all, i must said that our prime minister is truly an honest dude, openly bribe us~ much better than some pretentious politician. But leh dear PM Rejang park as far as i know, don't flood lah, it's not anywhere near the river some more... It's called Rejang park yesh but it's not next to rejang river lah~ oh well after all this, PM i do believe u know sibu now and will dream about sibu now~

For more on election go to my friend's blog.

It's official, DAP won!

Well most of us will know by now (from all those fb status update that keep spamming the news feed) that DAP has won the recent sibu by election and Wong Ho leng is now the new member of the Parliament.

Tonight has been a long night for all of us who so gebo and wanting to know the result first handed. There had been a lot of delayed on the announcement of the result for whatever reason it is, it jst make all of us who don't really care about who winning this by-election end up wishing DAP winning. Fb become twitter for a night~ and almost 80% sibuan had update their fb status with words like "DAP win!!" by now~

That was fun hehehe~ i have never pay so much attention to an election before like this, now back to reality, i need to go to bed! #$%@ SPR if BN is to win, we wouldn't have so much delay, waste my time waiting for result! (ok lah am gebo as well there but don't wanna wake till tomorrow morning to see the result when everyone knew edi...)

Libra Vs Rocket

Vs

Ahem... for non-Malaysian + u r female in/have been in aus/nz (or any other male who knew), my libra here is not this libra~ and I know i shud have use this logo instead of the rocket one since they now united together as one big opposition party against BN, but Wong ho leng (the candidate) still rocket one + libra vs rocket sound nicer muahaha

So, tomorrow finally The Day for the by election in my hometown, Sibu, so who will you vote and who do u think will win?

For be information: we had by-election because of the death of Robert lau which i had posted about few weeks ago. Now need someone to replace his position.

Sibu has suddenly become so popular nationwide with tv and newspaper everyday sibu sibu and al the big people like our PM (najib), chief PM (forgot name), former chief PM (anwar), Lim kit siong etc all pop up delivering speach here and there~ it's been years since i last experience election mood, u know all those echo of someone giving speech in some open space somewhere near my house~

Frankly, i don't really care about the result, am another one of the people who don't really give a darn about politic really~ get so used of BN and that white hair ruling like my whole life hahaha~ the only think i know is Election is good. Whenever election come, our complain get solve like really within 24 hours... one very good example is my dad call up smc about a lubang on the road during last election, the next day whole troop of worker show up and we got a nicely new tarred road.

And this election even better as it's getting nationwide attention, our tax $ that had gone MIA, well part of them suddenly come back with all the donation to chinese school, churches etc My mum mention that last few days the streamyx line sucks, can even open a page. On thur, the boss of the company that my cousin work in had 'forced' their employee go listen to Najib speech and during the Q and A time, one person asked: why the internet darn slow now? can't even surf! and then suddenly on friday our streamyx work really well, like a proper broadband. See how nice is the election? I bet ur No xxx time dialing the complain number to TmNet won't even give such a result.

Anyhow, my baba is out tonight joining the crowd, not everyday we got such event in the town mah~ somemore get to see najib and anwar leh~ the icon we see on tv and newspaper almost everyday if u follow malaysia mass-media~ but my family not involve in this election cos apparently we r lanang devision pula~

岡本知高

Browsing around You tube aimlessly and i found him~ Although he's not handsome and he's fat but admit it lah even girl cannot sing such high pitch and nice like him, also never mind his weird sense of fashion, i know, he do look like some character you would expected to encounter when you play FF~

Anyhow, am not fan of this soprano, i still prefer listening to soprano or tenor singing hehe~ but oh well, there's very few male in this world able to be soprano lah~ those people make us feel like slapping them for singing better than us (the girl) hahaha~ esp the very rare natural one

Well enjoy the song, got very nice melody~ esp love middle part, muahaha powerful~ this is very good OST for anime/movie eh~ hehe
