The Captured Moments in A Nobody’s Life

Who knew packing 20kg into a HUGE luggage bag would be such a mind -blowing task. First of all, i have packed almost all my necessary clothes into that HUGE luggage of mine. Ohhhh damn, i forgot to mentioned i had already packed my carry-on luggage to the brim of fullness (even to a point where i start shoving stuff into any crack and holes that i can get my things into.

At the moment, i havent weigh my carry on luggage just yet. But my estimation would be around 10-12 kg alone for that carry-on luggage of mine (i did stuff things to a point where i really compressed all that i could and shoving things into it). My HUGE check-in luggage of mine on the other hand, had a weigh in of 18kg alone. Even with the 18kg, i think i had left out quite a number of important stuff, such as the wires and plugs of almost all of my gadgetry. I am just currently taking a breather while i listen in to Fall Out Boys, since it has been awhile since i last listened in to music. I am certain that i have missed alot of good titles during the year 2007. But hey, i can always slowly try to listen out for it wont i~? Anywayz, back to work~!

 

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

Day 2 of packing, well, there is abit of repacking, but mostly lazing my bum in front of the laptop. Hahahaha. Alright la, i better start the final section by section packing ~!

Well i think it is a mistake putting two post on the same day. The old man story and the recap story. Hahaha. What a dumb fool i am. But its ok la. Since it is already up there, well there are about 9 more days before i reach the land where i was born. The land where corruption is key to success, and where people tend to be sometimes selfish. It is also the land of cheap food with 24 hour mamak. I shall return to enjoy the greatly unappreciated gift that was always in front of my eyes to be appreciated. Banzai for mamak ~!

Well that goes to show i am kicking and alive here. Packing never seem soo shitty since this shall be my second time packing to leave. Yes i have packed from my old place to my beloved’s place, and now i have to move from my beloved’s place back to my home sweet home. Which according to my mother has experienced a lot of modifications. Unbelievable, well believe it. Hahaha what a stupid corny line.

Anyhows, there has been a lot of planning of where to go, who to meet, but so far, i have only planned out for the first day of my arrival. The days after that has not been planned out just yet. So, i should organize something dont i ~? Well i will see how. Of course there are a lot of food to taste upon my return. Some very missed sushi, cabonara, and mamak ~! The three main things i want to eat upon arriving back home. I’ve seen quite a lot of people really enjoying themselves back at home. Unfortunately my holiday shall be short lived as i have to go job hunting for a real permanent job as i already completed my degree. That sucks, and to add salt to that wound, i haven really prepare a really good resume just yet. Its really annoying this resume. I was suppose to get some feedback about my resume unfortunately still no word. But there are no worries. Job hunting would of course take time and time would be allotted for me to make my purchases of working clothes that i would desperately need upon my return as well.

Talking about purchases, i really have a lot of purchases in mind. I want to get a new handphone to replace my two years old plus phone. I also want to get an electric shaver seeing that i am soo lazy to shave manually (even though a manual shave would be cleaner). New shoes for my work clothes as well as for casual uses. I also would love to upgrade my computer, but that would be put on hold until i have a proper job and i have saved a considerable amount for the upgrades that i have in mind. I also would need a brand new bag for my work. Waahahahaha, there are a lot of other purchases that i require for working isnt it ~? Well that is how it is seeing that most of my clothes are casual clothing, and only a few are of working material type.

Seeing that a few of my friends had already started they work, it seems that i shall be joining the workforce with them. Especially the girls back in Sunway, there are heading towards the accounting firms (for the ones that i have been keeping in touch with). As for the others i am not too sure what they are doing at the moment. But i am guessing they are also happy working (if they have graduated, very bad friend here, not knowing whether some of my friends back home has graduated yet or not~!).

Soon i will be able to go for yamcha~! Wahaha, maybe i shall head to the pasar malam on the second night of my return to M’sia to eat some of the missed food back home. Hehehe. Those who knows about the pasar malam in Cheras on a saturday night, give me a buzz if you want to join me for some food therapy~!

Looks like my time is up, well till next time, i shall share my bitter sweet memories here (i guess~?!) ….. Till then, take carer and may you enjoy your life the best you could ~!

Well since this post of mine is a recap of the year 2007, i shall now reveal myself here? Yeah i shall do that, its not like im getting that much hits anywayz. Anywayz, blogs sometimes are a way of expression for some like me. Knowing that this shall be a recap of 2007, there are some pics that are from 2006 as well. But i shall slowly crap as i see the pictures slowly remembering the year as it passed by me. Of course it wont really go chronologically but i shall try to follow the timeline the best i could.

The few pics below would be my yamcha buddies all the way from secondary school. We have been maintaining our tradition of heading out to yamcha for dinner till late night for alot of TCSS (again it is Talk Cock Sing Song). I really had a great time during the yamcha session. Food to eat, cock to talk, song to sing, it was a relaxing time i would say. Away from the stress and sometimes gaining some new knowledge about some things that i have no idea about like cars and computers (which over time i gained some good knowledge about).

The three of them above are the people whom i have went for yamcha with since the end of secondary school. Those pictures are rather if i might add and they have changed (i dunno how much they have changed but those pics were taken way before i left for Aussie). We would have some nice food with some good conversations. I miss those times and i will be getting back into it soon enough. Yamcha yamcha, i miss my yamcha! Steamboat, western, mamak. Wahhhhh i am coming back for it!!! I shall return soon, and get back into the habit of yamcha! Its one of my favourite activities. Its good that i am heading for some good wholesome yam cha session. Those mates of mine above really have been really good to me over the years, and it is time to rejoin my brothers for good nights of yamcha to come! Of course i did have a yamcha session before i left for Aussie for the year 2007. It was a good time indeed seeing that i went after my work at Borneo Ink. Hahahaha.

This would then be a normal platter for 1 person to eat at the usual steamboat place we head to. That is the reason why we would order for 3 people when the 4 of us have steamboat. The reason being is that we add some extra dishes such as some ’sotong goreng dish’ (which i could never be able to order on my own cos i dunno how to call it), ‘butter prawns’ and some ‘lala’ for the other 3 since i dont eat ‘lala’. Quite alot right, well it is seeing that we always have ‘ying yong thong’ with our steamboat. Its always too good to resist i tell ya!

Then it comes down to my cats. The cats i missed a great deal. Of course only one cat was close to me and her name is El2. The 3 pics below are El2. There were more pictures of her around but i didnt upload them all here because it would be an overload of pics of her and not enough pics of the others.

My loved one really enjoyed the last pic where El2 would sleep in the modem box with her head out like that. I didnt put her there but she went there on her own. I just got a pic of her inside thats all. Hehehe. Now a few pics of my other cats in my house then.

This would be Iny, and from what i heard, she is always in the outdoors and no longer an indoor cat. But she is alive and kicking. I wonder whether she is still having some problems with her mouth though.

The two pictures above would the pictures of Tinko. Well for those who dont know, Tinko passed away last year. He was put to sleep due to the severity of his mouth condition. It was soo bad that it continuously bled for quite awhile. My mother was quite sad of his passing because she was the one who had to make the decision of putting him to sleep. My mother said that she could no longer do it and if it were to happen, it would be either me or my father who would have to send the cats to be put to sleep. Well, Tinko was indeed the youngest in the family but he was the first to leave among all the cats that remained. But at least he is no longer suffering horribly from his mouth problem. So may he R.I.P.

In this blurry picture on the other hand would be a pic of Anja, the housecat of the cats. She is suffering from some feet problem. But she is surviving and has no intention on giving up on life or so i heard. So i shall be seeing this shy little girl soon enough.

And then there would be Spotty, the most outgoing cat of the house. But unfortunately i have received word that she had disappeared from the house leaving no trace. I think she might be out hunting or maybe found another place to stay. Or maybe she has found somewhere else to head to. She is the most outgoing cat in the family. Well i just hope that i would get a chance to see her as well when i head back home soon.

Having seen the pics of my cats reminded me of the pets whom i loved and cared for (except for a few since everyone has their own favourites) and hoped that i can see them all. I just hope that they remember who i am especially El2. My beloved cat. Well it shall be soon enough i guess. Waiting for the day to come.

Of course i remember the time when my wings were done and during the supposed final session (well in fact it was the 2nd last session for the wings), Myself as well as my loved one bumped into a famous artist, an international artist. He was getting his session done by Simon while i was getting my session done by Eddy.

This would be my beloved and the famous international artist. I dont really know his name, but i guess some of you would have known. This was at the end of 2006 before i became a worker at Borneo Ink, after 6 months being inked. Of course i had a little push from someone to work in Borneo Ink, seeing there was an opening when i was about to apply, and i got the job!

This on the other hand would be the picture of my wings when it was done during the same day that the international artist had his session done. It would be the finishing touches i would say. But i must say. The wings brought forth an experience that i would never forget. A short period of time working, in a relaxed environment where i feel i can be myself. The working period was through December all the way to February. During which i worked for 6 days a week. It gave me some unbelievable experience that i shall never forget. Giving me some fluency in talking with people as well as giving a deeper insight of the world of tattooing. This also gave way to knowing quite a number of some really good clients of Borneo Ink, some of which who were really friendly and helpful. Of course there were some clients who outright rude and stupid. Well i had a fun time working in Borneo Ink and it has always been a great place to hang out as well. Hehehe. Well i cant wait to head back to see the bosses that i left before i came here.

Owh look look, this is a tattoo that my loved one got in 2007 before coming over to Aussie like me. Hahahaha. But of course that was the end product. There are some extra lines filling up the empty spaces. Hehehe. But like mine she got her tattoo free. Free from me that is since i paid for her. Mine on the other hand ……

Well, mine was free as well. Given to me free by Lina. But the condition was that, i would have it done on my ribs and on both sides. Of course i did it, and i cried for it. Hahahaha. There are some videos of it on youtube, but knowing the lazy me, i am tooo damn lazy to link it here. You can search for it under ‘the most painful tattoo’ or something to that sort. Hahaha. There are quite a number of clips if i might add.

As you can see the process of the inking is proceeding nicely. Of course it didnt really healed nicely as my itchy hands were constantly scratching the scabs. That goes to show, dont be an itchy hand and scratch your healing tattoo.

Then this would be the final product for 1 side of my ribs. Both sides have different wordings. Hehehe. Im lazy to take a pic of the other side and posting it here. Or even search around for some old pics of the other side of the ribs tattoo. So just 1 side la for the recap. Of course this 3 tattoo sessions were the most painful sessions i ever had. Tooo damn painful i tell ya! The only tattoo that i gotten in 2007 seeing that i got the wings in 2006 and was completed in 2006 as well. But it was well worth it i guess as ‘The Principle’ and ‘The Will’ has already been printed on me. Leaving a few more that i wish to have which is ‘The Heart’, and ‘The Mother’. But for those, i will have to wait till i am much older before getting those. Till then i shall wait till the time is right.

Of course not forgetting my dear uni friends who had helped me a great deal during my stay in Aussie. They provided alot of help to me as well as guidance for me to follow to help me pass and luckily score for some subjects. It was also nice of them to come for a farewell before my loved one and myself left for Aussie. Of course there is another guy who also was there who come to Aussie with us, but he had already been in Aussie a year earlier before we came over to Aussie. So it wasnt really a farewell for him. Just a nice short return to enjoy time with family and friends.

It was nice of them to eat with us and chit chat. Of course those who helped me during 2007 did came over to Aussie at the end of 2007 for a holiday after our final exams. It was nice having them around. Showing them around and bringing them to places as well as trying out some food that could never be found in M’sia. Of course it was nice knowing them in the 2006 which lead to the great help from them in 2007. Especially during the completion of my assignments.

This leads toe the final day of my presence in M’sia. My friends had our final yamcha, my treat at Eden in KLIA! Fucking expensive sial, but it was quite well worth. It was time well spent with my good friends. After that i met up with my parents as well as my grandfather. Well you see, i had planned that my friends send me to KLIA before i meet up with my parents in KLIA seeing that my mother has to fetch my grandfather from Puduraya as he had just arrived from Kedah a few days earlier before CNY 2007 to see me off. It was nice.

You can see from the pictures that i am in those pictures. Well i definitely cant wait to head back and meet up with my parents to have a good time eating together with them for breakfast! Eat some mamak food like what we used to do when i was younger. Less than a month to go, i would be back home with my family eating all the food that i missed and meeting all the friends that i havent seen in a very long time. Well as you could see in the pics, it was my parents who send me off to Aussie.

Then comes the room that my mother’s friend helped in getting for me before it went to someone else you see. It was of big help that she even helped me move in. I moved into my place from the second day i was in Aussie. Which was good i guess. These are a few pictures of my room after i already settled down. With all the necessities in place for me to accommodate me and my lazy ass!

This would be a view from my bed you see. Look at all the stuff on the floor. Hahahaha. I guess i was pretty bored seeing that i am on my bed taking pictures of my room. My pathetic room. But luckily it is pretty cheap considering the fact that the bills are included as well. The room is quite specious if i might add. You will understand why later. Hehehehe.

That would then my wardrobe. Look at all my clothes hanging. i had to buy i think 30 hangers just to accommodate the amount of clothes that i had brought over from M’sia. And if you noticed, i have quite a number of food stuff on the top most shelf. Dont ask me why i put there, but i just felt like putting at the top most shelf, which was the best decision for safeguarding the food. I shall shed the light about soon enough.

This shall be the view from my bed yet again of my computer table. No place to put any books right. Thats the reason why i didnt really study. Hahahaha, but most of my study materials were soft copy study materials but i often get distracted by other things on the computer leading to more play than study when im on it. Hahahaha.

This shall be a view from my bed yet again of part of my body as well as the side table. If you can see, i have my trusted alarm clock which i had been using since i was really young. Like in form 4 or form 5 or so. Or was it earlier. I cant really remember, but i know that it is an old alarm clock which had served its purpose very well over the years. It is a good alarm clock, but unfortunately the cold weather here has put an end to my early mornings. The cold made me a super cold blooded animal who could not wake up. Without the necessary heat, i cant wake up! So gone are the days when i wake up early. Unless i am in Sue’s place, then i can wake up early. Her place has more heat than mine or rather, her place retains more heat than mine. My room’s temperature changes according to the surroundings which were terrible considering the night could be hot like hell, but the mornings cold like fuck! And this was in summer. Of course the room needed more heating during the winter. But this wasnt much of a problem seeing that the bills are included, i heated up my room using two heaters. A fan heater which i bought for the dual usage of a fan and a heater as well as the built-in heater in the room. The built-in heater took a long time to heat up so, i would usually use my fan heater to blow some really hot air out to warm up the room. At some point, the room would be too cold for me to just wear a t-shirt and walk around in it. I needed a fucking jacket to warm myself up in my own fucking room! That was pretty bad! But it was all good with the double heaters. Moving on ….

This would be my bed. Messy isnt it? Well that was how it was when i just began my stay there. And most of the days i was there it was always like that. If i am not going to sleep, then i shall have some stuff on my bed, but if i were to sleep, then all things shall be pushed down onto the floor. Hahaha. Of course i did some “routine” clearing up which did help clear the mess up a little. Hehehehe.

The view of my computer table without the fridge. Yes, i had a fridge there which i had to sell off to my friend during the beginning of this year. And i really mean the beginning as it was on the 1st of Jan when i sold it off. But of course i lost some money there. Hahahaha, but its easier as i had access to a car then to help move it around. Hahaha. Good right!

This would then be a view from higher up of the side which all my cooking utensils as well as some of my dirty laundry as well as my old blanket which didnt serve its purpose at all!

Here you can see that i put my slippers aside near the door as it is somewhat of my shoe rack. But there was no shoe rack. So it was always been my invisible shoe rack! Hehehe. As you can also see, there are some clothes hanging there. Hehehehe.

This shall be a full view my clothes hanging to dry. I am also using my heater to be my dryer you see. Because it would be killing two birds with one stone, that is to warm up my room as well as to dry up my clothes. I was pretty reluctant in hanging my clothes outside after several bad experiences hanging my clothes outside. I shall explain a bit in awhile.

This is again another pic but on a later date of my clothes hanging. If you see properly, you can see a box of Indo Mie at the base of my clothes rack. The reason being, it topples easily. So i needed some weight to prevent this from happening. Moving on ….

The extreme messiness of my bed when i put a whole bunch of stuff on my bed. This would all be on the floor by the time i hit the sack.Hehehe.

Now i would like to inform you, i am living in a rooming house with 6 other people. I am not joking. All guys in the house! Since it is a rooming house, the place has no living room at all. The only place that you can gather around would be the kitchen, or if there are too many people gathering, then bring the chair out onto the backyard!

Yeah yeah, this would be the kitchen area which i rarely sit at during dinners since i would always bring my dinner into my room to be consumed at my leisure in front of my computer… while i still had it. Story about it after this. Hehehe, recap ma recap, slowly slowly!

This would then be my kitchen where i constantly cook my Indo Mie to perfection i would say, and constantly teased by some of the other housemates regarding my eating behaviour. Well what to do, there isnt much choices i am left with to cook in that filthy house. Maybe i did, but i was lazy to cook anywayz!

This would be the kitchen sink as everyone would of course know. Seeing that half of the sink is full would be able for me to tell ya about the story about it. But the story comes later ya! This is where we wash dishes (obviously) and the stuff that is used to wash the dishes is shared among all the tenants in the house. So everyone takes turn in buying the stuff needed for the kitchen such as the washing detergent, the sponge, and one more important thing that is the rubbish bag (the big black plastic bag) for the big bin in the kitchen. Hahaha bought some of the items a few times. But it was okay la. Hehehe.

Now that is what i introduce to you as the community fridge, where the food are like that and the dirtiness and how the grotesque the fridge is the main reason of my reluctance to put anything in the fridge and the main reason why i had to get my own fridge~!

This is what i shall say a close up of the fridge’s bottom. Look at all those dried up liquid at the bottom. I dont think food cant last very long in that fridge with all the bacteria growing in those liquid. Hahahaha. Truly a wonder to me that the others still kept their food inside the fridge for quite some time!

The fridge door didnt seem all that dirty so i had put my butter there initially, which i ended up not using at all! I wanted to use the butter to make pancakes you see, but it all went to waste as i didnt carry out any will to cook pancakes in my own place…

This is the so called microwave. Pretty low tech for a microwave i tell you~! Looks more like a toaster with the super limited options which are the temperature, and the time. All the analog kind i tell ya~! Low tech to the max~!

This is the common sink for everyone to use. There is only 1 of this sink in the whole house. But there are two showers and to toilets. The showers are connected to this area. It gets pretty disgusting as the others shaved and do their whatever shit at the sink. I am also included as i usually trimmed my goatee hair before i shave it. I have the tendencies to forget to shave up to a few weeks. Hahahaha.

This is the shower that i always bath in. The shower head provides nicer feel to shower i tell ya. And during the winter, i would turn the hot water on to warm up the shower area. This was also done after i finished showering as the winter can be very nasty after showers. I needed to keep warm because the winter is super cold you see! And since i still had long hair for most of the year, i dropped a lot of hair in the shower. This resulting a clogged up looking drain at the shower with mostly my hair. There was another tenant during my first semester who also had long hair. So the shower drain would be like from i forgot what scary movie already with the hair all coming out. Hahahaha. Luckily i dont need to clean the shower or anything, and this goes the same for the other tenants in the house. This is because, there would be a cleaner who would clean the the corridors, the kitchen, the showers and the toilets every fortnight~! So it is kept quite clean. This was a very good move by the agent looking at the situation that there are 7 guys living in the house, and i guess no one wants to clean each other’s shit right? Hahahaha.

This is the other shower that i had only used once. Didnt really like this shower for reasons i dont really want to disclose.

This is the toilet that i often frequent to and i would always have to bring my own toilet roll when the needs are required, if you get what i mean. Hehehehe. At the beginning of my stay, i didnt have any toilet roll and was using another person’s toilet roll that was left in the toilet, until i guess the person notices it and took it away. I then had to get my own toilet roll. I got this cheap toilet roll from K-Mart and used it once. It was the biggest mistake ever~! As i had badly badly badly injured my asshole~! This is no laughing matter! After that i resort to Kleenex toilet role. I didnt care about the price as long it is good quality and wont injure my asshole anymore~! (Disgusting right, well i have to recap some of the greatest moments that happened in my own life right ~~ my life is super uber boring sial ~!)

This is the other toilet which i rarely frequent to unless the other toilet is not available for use and when i want to do my laundry. You can also see a sink there. Sometimes i would wash my hands there after heading to the toilet as sometimes others would be at the first sink i showed you guys doing their shit you know~!

This is the washing machine. I used it many times and often as well. Thats the reason why i bought so many washing detergent powders as well as softeners. But at times i am quite irritated by the fact that some people do their laundry but would never hang them out and leave them there inside the washing machine for ages and for that reason i would have to forgo my laundry for awhile. Sometimes i would be considerate and ask around whose laundry it is, in hopes that i can push those person to hang their laundry so that i can use it. But there was this one time i had my laundry in. I went out for awhile and came back not long after my laundry was finished washing only to find my laundry is outside of the washing machine and someone else is already using the washing machine. My freshly washed clothes were put on a ‘not so clean’ quilt (without the cover ~ for those who doesnt know it, it is the inside of a comforter or those thick blankets). Haihz, was pretty unhappy about it. But dont care la, i was short on time so i just hanged it up la.

This is the backyard. Very spacious if i might add, but the problem is that it is hard to get into as the path to the backyard is pretty narrow and could only fit one car at a time. I used to hang my clothes outside here as well using the clothes rack that you saw earlier. But i always face the trouble of the winds pushing my unstable clothes rack over, and often my clothes would end up on the floor, including my undergarments. Wasnt too happy about it, or rather was very pissed about it. And often i would end up washing my clothes another round as there are flies all over my clothes~! Again very angry~! Well that lead me to resort to drying my clothes in my own room. Hahahaha. Now moving on to some of the dramas in the house. Hahahaha.

This happened as i already was one of the tenants who joined in for the internet usage. The owner of the internet was not too happy with someone unplugging his internet plug from the modem (the modem was along the corridor in near the kitchen) and began a full out ban against the others who were using the internet as well. But one of the other tenant said that it was his own doing as he wanted the internet all to himself. Oh did i mention that he had a dedicated server for everyone to connect to the internet. Meaning he can monitor people’s access to the internet. That is the reason why some of the sites that i was able to visit at the beginning was later banned by the server in the house. Ahhhh the drama~! Of course this had lead to a bigger drama between the internet owner and another tenant in the house. They were pretty close friends but the internet broke them up as there were some arguments regarding the internet and something about a router modem was taken. It was a big hoohaaa especially for the other tenant as he always try to blame me and another guy also a student studying in the same uni as me but another major for not standing up to the internet owner guy. What a fucking disgrace i would have to say in my own mind. I ended up not very happy with my housemates and began to seclude myself from them as much as i could. The other tenant would constantly say that i should say something and whatever not but he himself wasnt doing any of those shit, just talking bad about the internet owner behind his back. Soo retarded~! There were another issue but i wont bring it up here. Because it might be very offensive to some. Hahahaha.

Ahhh haaaaaa, this would be the best drama ever. Hahahaha. The sink was totally block up. See the pic below~!

Thats how full the kitchen sink was. No one was able to wash their own dishes (or rather i could not was my dishes unless i removed some of the dishes and put it to the side while i washed mine. The culprit was next room neighbour who would always cook and then leave the dishes. Hahaha. After the note was set there. The sink was clear of dirty dishes for awhile. Hahahaha. small little drama~!

Look at this can opener, it is rusty, and i had to use it as my can opener was in Frankston. Haihz, sad case but true. Hahaha. Luckily i already had my anti-tetanus shot. Hahaha.

Ahh this was an incident when i wanted to cook an egg to be eaten with my Indo Mie. It was shocking to see the egg bleeding i tell ya~! the blood also seep into the egg white white caused it to have a different colour from the other egg i cooked. I just had to take a pic of it because i had never seen it in my life before. Hahaha.

Here is another picture of the bleeding egg …

Ahhh this is what i would cook in my house. Spaghetti~! The sauce is bottled sauce so it is pretty easy to make i guess. Hahaha. Usually i cook a really big portion so that i can keep the rest in tupperwares to be eaten later on. I also cooked tom yam spaghetti, a creation of my loved one as she was the one experimented with it and introduced it to me. I also cooked that in a large portion and kept the rest to be eaten later. Hahahaha. A lot of work in cooking i tell ya~! The preparing, the cooking and lastly the washing up, which is the most strenuous~!

Moving on to the next few pictures, those who are pretty ill hearted, i suggest you skip this part as you would see alot of blood~! Hahaha bloody mess~! Hhehehe

See all the droplets of blood~! Well those certainly came from me. I was bleeding i tell ya, and i was bleeding really bad~! Well to tell you all the truth, i was having a very bad nosebleed. This was the first nosebleed in Australia. I had experienced some nosebleed back in M’sia but it was never that bad. Well i bled and bled for quite awhile. Of course there were also some other complications during the nosebleed. The next two picture would show why.

I apparently had swallowed a fair bit of the blood through my nose. This is because later after the bleeding had stopped, i had an irritation in my throat, and so i coughed it out, only to see i am coughing out blood. Hahaha it wasnt much of a scare since i already knew this might have happened. So i quickly took a picture of it before disposing of the evidence that i had murdered someone. Hehehe.

The evidence of murder~!

Ahh look at that, that would be the incident where i burnt my finger, just hat particular part saving my dinner from falling to the ground. It was darn darn painful, but i still did not let go of the pan as it was about to fall, because i know that is my dinner, it took a long time to cook and i am too lazy to cook again or rather i didnt have anymore things to cook. So i ended up with a burnt finger. It was pretty swelled for about a week or so.

You can see how fat it is from here. It was pretty annoying but the pain after the burn was excruciating.

But it soon shrivelled up to be like that. Hahaha. Just another experience in Aussie.

Then move on to some of the friends who were very helpful over the year 2007.

I knew them as acquaintances back in the first year of uni, and over the past year the top most guy and the bottom guy, well they helped me alot especially the guy at the bottom. Among the three of them only two of them continued on the same major as i am. The other well, he changed his major. The first guy is the guy to whom i sold my fridge too. He also was a big help in other things like the studies and sometimes the games. Hehehe. The bottom guy well he helped us both (me and the top guy) as we were in Aussie and he was back in M’sia. I also helped the bottom guy abit during the two semesters of studies. It was very nice of them to help me and of course i returned the favour the best i could. It was good to know them~!

This would then be my external hard disk casing which was rendered useless as i lost my laptop during the second semester of studies. No fun i tell ya~! Despite the fact that i brought over two hard disks, i only used one of them whereas the other was given to my loved one for her to use since i got a friend of mine to buy another external hard disk casing for her. I also purchased a very nice laser mouse of Logitech brand. Unfortunately that mouse was also stolen with the laptop. I will get to my laptop story soon enough, dont worry. Hehehe.

This is one of my free pendrive that i received together with the purchase of my laptop. It was among the free gifts that was given together with my laptop you see. There were 20 free gifts items. Of course i dont have pictures of all the 20 items as i deleted them (maybe you guys realised something about the pictures now). Well this pendrive was lost as well during the first semester i was studying. I forgotten to take it out and return to see it gone. Of course that was my fault as i left it for quite a long time. Hahaha, my bad my bad.

Moving on to my laptop story, well, here are a few pics of my laptop before i left for Aussie with it. Hehehe. If you were observant enough, you would have seen it in a few of the pictures above, if you know where to look. Hehehe.

Beautiful isnt it? Well i had upgraded the ram for my own uses you see. And it really was a nice laptop~! Alright, the story goes like this. It was the mid semester break during the second semester. I always frequent to the library to use the free internet service. The internet usage is not calculated when a person uses his or her laptop, but only counted when the library computer is used. That is the reason why i didnt use the library computer but use my own. Anywayz, there are less website restrictions on the laptop than there is on the library computer. So, it was already late in the evening. I went to the toilet for 2 minutes not suspecting anything only to return to a table empty. My laptop was gone, together with my newly purchased Logitech laser mouse which was pretty expensive as well. The rest was pretty much history, and i dont really want to go into details about it. This is because people would always and always say you should have brought it to the toilet with you. Well, i’ve tasted the salt for this very painful experience as having a computer is part of my life. Truly a part of me was stolen that day. But all is well, sometimes you might see the bright outcome. If my laptop hadn’t been stolen, i would have then produced a crappy piece of assignment as the materials that i had gathered were bullshit~! It also gave way for a more lenient marking as i had made a report to the security as well as emailed my subject coordinator regarding the issue. Of course, my assignment was due like within 3 days of the theft of my laptop. I did not receive extra time to complete the assignment but i did finish the assignment the best i could with all the help i can get from all the VU girls back in M’sia (THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH IF YOU ARE READING THIS) and some help from the guy who was studying the same subject as me. His picture is up there. Hehehehe. Well i got a pretty decent mark for my assignment which was good considering i just nicely passed for this subject. Hahahaha. But of course it did cause a lot of problem. But this was to be handled later on.

Right, now i shall begin the story of the “The attack of the mouse~!” It all began when i first noticed some of my food stock were damaged. It was then i noticed that it was the work of a mouse or a rat. Well i then try to look for some holes which it could possibly enter the room with. But i couldnt pin point the origins. So i let it be for the moment. Then they (because i have seen two of them before) ate my chocolate. My beloved, discounted Kit Kat~! Look below~!

Look at how they ate my Kit Kat, i was pretty devastated, because i had been saving those Kit Kat to be eaten on rainy days (when i am out of food). They were very bad mousy by then~! But i could not do much but to store my food in my high up shelf which was already filled with a lot of food. But it was for all the better. I took quite a few precaution to prevent any further destruction by them mousy.

Well you must be wondering, whats with the pics in the dark right. Well, the story goes something like this. I was just about to sleep. Just a few minutes after i lied down in bed when i heard some rustling noises from somewhere in my room. It was then i realised that the mousy had returned for more food. I heard a lot of rustling as i had left quite a number of plastic bags lying on the floor. So i got up in search for the mouse. I went seraching behind some boxes and found one of them. As i was about to take something to kill it, i saw another mouse running towards a hole which i never expected to be their entry point into my room, my internet cable hole that the landlord had drilled through the wall. I never expected it because the hole was soo small to fit anything, but i was very wrong about that. i chased after it abit but then returned to the other mousy which i thought was trapped behind the boxes only to find that the mousy had escaped. Very slick and agile~! Well i tried my best to stop them, even encountered them a few times after that. Only to find them disappear before i could kill them~!

Well here are a few other pictures of the devastation they had left for me to clean up. This was the tip of the iceberg compared to the real devastation i faced.

My expired Mars bars were totally gone leaving only their faeces and other stuff. I also had their faeces all over my spare bed sheet in the other drawers. It was very disgusting~! I guess i had it in stored for me since i left quite a sum of food behind in my room. Ohhh i forgot to mention that i plugged the hole by which they came in with but still to no avail. Well they were naughty little shitheads to deal with. A lot of cleaning was involved and i had to bear with it the best i could. Especially since i was cleaning during when the heat wave heat Melbourne.

Here are another two pictures of the devastation left behind by the rodents. I couldnt believe that they were able to reach all the way up onto my table. Pretty nasty trick for them to get up there. Well the mousy did a good job at getting at the food that they can reach. Luckily they werent able to penetrate to my dinner supply. My Indo Mie~! Haihz, it wasnt a good fight. I lost to the attack of the mouse~!

Moving on would be one picture of me in my uni. The picture i took was very very very early in the morning. I mistakenly woke up an hour earlier than i had planned. So i decided to take some pictures of my university here in Aussie.

ME~!

The three pictures above are pictures of this sculpture that i always have to pass by everytime i want to get to some of the classes as well to the cafeteria. Freaky little artwork~!

I am too lazy to explain about all the buildings but i guess its just a uni that is a little old, but it has all the things that a uni student would need. Unfortunately i didnt take any picture of the uni library. Stupid of me, yeah i know, but i was just killing time before entering the library. So it didnt strike my mind to take a picture of the library. Hehehe.

Those are some of the open areas of the uni. You see, i am being lazy here and not give any caption to the pictures i posted here. The pictures are for you to see and enjoy, i doubt that these pictures really have anything for me to talk about, as a picture is worth a thousand words. Hahahahahaha.

The above picture would be a picture of the indoor swimming pool of the gym that is located within my uni itself. Unfortunately i havent been inside of the gym before. But i guess all is okay with me. Hehehe.

Moving on to some other events i guess. This i think would have happened after i was done with everything else i guess. Cant really be sure, but there are pictures dating to the beginning of my stay in Aussie.

You must be wondering why did i take the picture of this lady, well this is because this lady, i suspected had stolen the two laptops in her possession. My suspicion was further aroused when there a “Novell” login system on the screen. From my knowledge so far, no personal laptops would have that. Most or maybe almost all non Apple laptop are Windows login based. I only came across “Novell” login systems for uni computers or laptops. So of course it did raised alot of my suspicion about it. Other than that were some identification number of the laptop was torn off by the lady above (e.g. “Laptop 22″ or somewhat to that sort). There were serial numbers pasted all over the laptop which were foreign on a normal laptop. Of course my loved one and myself made a police report after despite the late hours. So it was all good i guess. No calls from the police regarding the picture i have with me. So i am guessing no one really made a police report regarding the missing laptops then. Well moving on to the next occasion then.

It would be the graduation of my loved one. Though there were a series of panic attacks, but all seemed well, though the time alloted to take pictures were rather limited. But no worries, had enough pictures for the kids and grandkids i guess. Hahahaha.

Well look here. That would be my loved one’s tea which many many bags of sugar. This was after her graduation as we just woke up after a night’s travel to Sydney via the train service of Countrylink. Sydney was of course a little different from Melbourne in the terms that everything is sooo much more expensive especially the public transport to go around. Seriously too expensive for my liking sial~! But it was all good. Much of the lodging as well as the food were paid for, except for the few snacks that were acquired to restore some strength, which was okay because it is already mostly funded already. Of course in Sydney met up with two of my classmates back from the secondary school age. Hahahaha, nice catching up with them heading to some places with them as well. Hahaha. It was a good trip except for some annoyance which i would never reveal. Hehehe.

Looks like this is more of the blast from the past then. Seeing the past few pictures were of more recent events. This would be the picture from Russell Street near Chinatown of Melbourne. This is during the CNY period of 2007 in Melbourne. Pretty hectic isnt it~? Well it was quite hectic. But hell you would be able to see a friend whom i had almost all of my classes with during the two semesters i studied. Hahahaha, im sure those who knows him would see him straight away anywayz. Hehehehe.

This is also taken on the first two weeks or so, acting like a tourist taking a few pictures here and there. Hahaha. It was all good. That picture there would be one of the buildings Federation Square. Tourist in action~! HAHAHAHA~!

Ahhh some scenery pictures ahead….

These two pictures were taken during my walk back to my place from uni. Nice sun set by the roadside. Hahaha. It was okay la. It was always good to be paranoid in Footscray. But never thought you have to be very paranoid in the library as well. Ohh did i tell you guys and girls that after the incident of my laptop, there were another series of thefts. The thefts apparently occurred few days in a row. Even China Chinese people lost their stuff. Seriously, the library is not a safe place to be~!

This would be a sunset picture taken from Frankston beach which i would say was also taken quite early in the year. A very pleasant sight indeed.

Looky looky, there is a Proton Waja on the road. It is rare but you can see a few Proton cars around Melbourne. I saw a Waja, a Wira, a Wira Aeroback, and quite a number of Satria or maybe it was the GTI model, but most certainly it was a Satria. Most of the Satria drivers from my experience here, are ladies. Are ladies that ignorant about M’sian made cars are very fragile and useless~? Well maybe, or maybe it is because it is cheap and pretty sporty looking i guess for them.

Look look, my empty fridge. Nahh it was all that empty, it is just that i emptied it to take a picture of it. I wanted to take more pictures of it but i was interrupted by a call from my friend saying he would buy my fridge at the price i told him (I quoted him AUD160, as the total amount i paid for the fridge including transport was AUD260, but he was haggling for AUD140) after i rejected his offer earlier on saying the price is too low for me. So i just took that one picture of my fridge. It is pretty new and it was not heavily used. It is mighty clean if i might add~! Hahaha but said byebye to it on the 1st of Jan 2008 as it sees its new owner.

Ahhh lets look at some random events from now then for some random pictures i have here onwards. Hahahaha.

The above was one of the best tasting foods i tasted in Melbourne. A nice Italian dish i guess. But should be pretty easy to make. Unfortunately the quality declined after a few months of not paying a visit to the restaurant. What to do, not staying in the city mah~! It was really nice i tell ya~!

Oooooooo look, a dead bird, which i had to clean up from the lawn of my loved one’s house. My loved one dare not clean it so being the man of the house as i was, i clean it up and threw it away into the garbage bin after giving a good wrap in newspapers. Unfortunate for that little guy to die. But all life would have to end with a death. Isnt that true for all living beings including you and me. Hahaha.

Yes yes, that was my birthday cake for 2007. It was a quiet birthday. Ushering in my 21st quietly with my loved one. Only the two of us celebrated my birthday. A few of my friends remembered and did wished me. Of course no reminders were required by me. But of course my birthday would for certain be overshadowed by the birthday of another person who is a friend here in Melbourne all the way from pre-u. But it is all okay. This would always serve as a reminder to me, if i ever want to have a fucking bashful party, you must be the fucking idiot who reminds everyone your birthday and also invite them to whatever shit you have in stored for your own birthday party. Hahaha, of course i am not a very bashful type. Just a get together would be more than enough. Simple food, good conversation and a few burst of laughters would be more than enough to put a smile on my face as i usher in my birthday, because i am a simple guy who doesnt smoke and doesnt club and only drink a few sips if there is any good dessert wine i guess. Hahahaha. Well it was a good quiet year i guess. Giving me some time to think about some uber gay shit as well some fucking emo shit as well….

My year here in Australia was a great, long, exciting and yet dull life. But it was all good considering the amount of time i spent on traveling not to anywhere significant, just to my loved one’s place. Made a few friends, but much fewer than i expected and most of my plans failed me as well. But all has its way of getting by all okay.

Learning the culture here was eye opening as well as had some very mind blowing conversations with some strangers on different opinions of life. Those were really some meaningful conversations or just me listening in on what the other person had to say about the certain things that are happening around us.

I would have to say, living away in Australia really helped a bit in the growing up part, but i think i am still a kid inside. But it did help a bit here and there. Learning to grow is tough, and i think it will be a process that last a lifetime. So the Aussie experience gave me a lot to think about as well as a lot of weigh to put on about. Hahahaha. Indeed. This is just a recap, and not a post that would cover every single thing that happened throughout 2007. But i would have to say, life is always been good having seen it on the bright side of life. But at times, just couldnt help looking life at the dark side of life as well. But life is what you make out of it. Of course this year, life would be changing. But hey lets look on the bright side, look at how stupid i can pose to camwhore, all ugly as can be. HAHAHAHAHA~!

I hope you like this super humongous long post filled with pics and words, with a total of 122 picture which are all courtesy to my phone except for one picture and approximately 8900 words. But it is all good. This should end my recap of 2007~!

VIVA LA 2008 ~!

p.s. Please forgive me for any grammatical errors as well as typo errors as this is too long of a post to proof read and i usually dont proof read~! Enjoyz ~!

p.s.s. Wooohoooo heading to Goldcoast tomorrow. Gotta pack and get ready. Have to wake up fucking early sial~!

Hahaha, Melbourne is filled with insane people as to how KL has their Mat Rempits! Well it all began in a far far away land called Melbourne of Australia, in a time not that long ago. As this young man (me) was running to catch a tram. From far he saw an old man was getting on the tram as well through the back most door, which the young man also aimed to enter the tram with. As the old man got on one step onto the tram, the young man just stood behind him waiting for the old man to get onto the tram. But it was a unsuspecting move that the old man took, as the old man turned around and starting cursing, the old man tried to hit the young man. This caused the old man to drop his baggage which was a box (which looks like a toy box which was quite big of a size) onto the road, while trying furiously to attack the young man. The young man then only had one thing in mind and that was to get on the tram as fast as possible. From there, the young man ran towards the next nearest entrance of the tram and got on. As he was about to get in, he saw fright stricken faces of passengers who were getting of the tram as well as hearing some noises of bottles (glass bottles, like the alcohol kind of bottles i guess, since i heard it and not see it) hitting the road. The young man got onto the tram just in time as the tram driver closed the doors and many other passengers were wondering “what the hell is going on?”. As the tram was about to leave that particular stop, the old man cam up to the entrance by which the young man got onto the tram and then shouted “where is that arsehole !?!” while pointing at the young man. The young man was pretty much in a daze as to what was happening, but was very glad that he was able to get onto the tram just in time as well as getting away from that crazy senile old man!

There goes the story of this young man (again me), who faced some crazy people in Melbourne of Australia.

p.s. There is a super long post which is still currently on the way, which may take a long long time to complete. But in all hopes, the post should be complete soon!

The heat in Melb is now on the rise, but on occasions the temperature kinda dips down for awhile which is good as the heat is too much to bare (which to use? bear or bare?, my writing english has become horrendous!) ! Anywayz, the heat is slowly picking up pace for the last few days and i have been sweating profusely over the pass few days or so. Its terribly hot. But the weather forecast shows that melb could be looking forward to another few days of cool summer days. Hopefully that is the case, seeing that living in the heat is really horrible! The heat, the sweat, the stickiness, and also, did i mention the heat! Ohhhh its melting me away this summer. No air con can die wan! Super hot hot days and pretty hot nights. Its quite suffocating and stuffy as well.

Well enough of the heat, i gotta mention about my rent issue. Well i think there possibly an alternative to my dilemma, so i shall meet up with the real estate agent again this coming Tuesday to confirm things and maybe fill up some forms for the return of my bond. Anyhow, been thinking abit (normally a lot more but i have been busy procrastinating doing other trivial stuff you see), and i think i am not prepared for the working life just yet. Mentally i don’t think i am prepared. It is soo hard to accept the fact that i have graduated (havent gone through the ceremony just yet but soon enough) and that i shall start finding for a job soon and work hard for measly little monthly pay. But i hope to get through this ASAP so that maybe lift some burden off my parent’s shoulders. Maybe pay some bills. Well that is all day dreams in my own head. Just thinking out loud i guess since the time of a working life is drawing near, and my study life may or may not be drawing to a close. But unfortunately, i shall be studying while working. Studying the CPA program. Seems like your typical/average/normal thing that a M’sian would have planned out. Seems like a road well placed in front of me, without any options to diverge from it at the beginning. But maybe i can branch out to a new path later in life. But that would be later in life i guess.

As for now, i wanna enjoy my life as i would usually do for now. At the same time, start re-writing my resume, re-pack some of my luggage, and do whatever else necessary for me to take my leave from Melbourne. Well that should be short enough of an update for now, till later ciaoz~!

It doesnt really seem like 2008, or maybe my head is stuck in 2007. Well it is 2008 now, and of course happy new year to everyone reading this! Unfortunately i don’t really know what to write here since my loved one had already posted our NYE ushering already. All i have to say is that i have been driving alot lately and it seems to be good practice for me as well as a good chance for me to try out a more powerful car. My car back at home is always underpowered but it always serve its purpose in bringing me around!

Well then, it would be less than a month before i head back to M’sia, the place i wanna be. Unfortunately M’sia is heavily tainted by the politics of greed plus the elections are just around the corner. But I’m not going to vote in the coming elections since I was absent for a year, so i dont want to have biased thoughts about M’sia when i vote since the only info i got is from the internet and from friends back home (but more from internet i guess). So i shall vote in the next election or so. But of course i shall register as a voter after this coming election i suppose.

Enough of elections, it seems like alot of people seem to be having loads of fun these days. Whether it is working or whether it is studying, people are taking time off to enjoy themselves. Well i would say, good on ya! I just cant wait to return home to sink my teeth into the good M’sian food that i missed sooo much. Of course being in Aussie does make me appreciate M’sia more. But i guess each person has different thoughts and ideas about this. Some prefer M’sia, whereas some prefer Aussie. But of course there are the pros and cons of each place. But the food still holds dear to my heart. I cant wait to go yam cha with friends as well. Its been too long since i had a proper yam cha sessions with my pals. The steamboat, the TCSS (talk cock sing song), the laughing, the company and cant emphasis more on the good food.

Seeing that i have cleared my room (95% cleared, just a few more stuff to throw out), i guess i should give the real estate agents a call regarding my fucked up lease ehh. Well i shall do just that now. Sooo i hope this update would be more than suffice to say i am well and healthy, but a little hungry before signing off and posting this post.

Soo all the best in all your endeavors and may you have a great 2008!

p.s. Is it the Olympics this year in Beijing China? Hehehe, cant remember le.
