Do they look alike?? hahaa..
we were at Blue Mountains, Sydney.
oh well..... talk about Blue Mountains... we love the mountains so much that we had to go there twice! First time we went, it was raining.. so, the young man beside me wanted to visit the mountains the second time! so... this pic was taken on the second day when the weather was bright n sunny! hmm... overall, it was enjoyable.. do visit blue mountains if u all go to sydney.. it's a must!

ok, here is a pic of me n yoong...
If u dont already know, she is my gf..

so cold yet we took out our jackets to pose...

Went there with yoong's bro , n toh sin too..
the concert was good. had a good time.
a lot of ppl went.. oh ya, when we were lining up, it rained a little.. but, we were ok!!
oh.. i bought a Delirious shirt for Gayle ( my sis) .. it cost me AUD 30! ehhe.. but, it was worth it cos Gayle likes it...

Here is the taman sea gang.. in juwen's house in melbourne. we went there for a delicious dinner

Seated on the couch are students from taman sea, 2001 and on the far right, 2003.

haha, can make it or not??

we were at melbourne uni.. melb uni is where xiong studies. he enjoys studying there very much. we went there with jonathan, xiong, and yoong.
we walked around the uni... most of the buildings were of sandstone.

ok, that's all, ciao.
ehem... dear readers, if u find this blog entry a little weird, it's becos another person wrote quite a bit of this entry.... dun blame her..oopss...

2006-05-31T01:49:00.000-07:00

since when did the govt don't allow armpits to be shown on tv?

that'll be $30. thanks.

2006-05-16T07:25:00.000-07:00

Some updates:

my friends and i went to this ice cream shop in china town. it's called french reviera (or something). We ordered this massive ice cream meant for 2 people. it's called "Rainbow". It contained all the flavours available in that shop, from chocolate, rum and raisin, to banana and rock mellon.

it costs $30 but don't worry.. 4 of us ate, so 7.50 each for ice cream. i don't think ice cream in swensons cost that much also.

i was the odd one out.

just plain ridiculous

2006-04-10T08:41:00.000-07:00

i was just speechless when i read about the news that the couple who hugged and kissed in public will be taken to court(from the limited resources i read).

this is what a blogger said:

"Kissing and hugging are expressions of affection universal to humankind, and they’re not restricted to or bound by Western or Eastern values. The fact that these expressions of affection have not been a problem in the past and has now become a punishable offence, points to the degree of intolerance and narrow-mindedness on the part of the authorities."

another blog entry about this issue: source

the news even got to the UK: BBC

what's malaysia coming to these days..
i hope and pray that the govt will be more open minded about this issue.

blogging assesment

2006-03-23T04:46:00.000-08:00

yo wasszup. i'm currently doing this subject in uni which requires us to blog and create websites as our assesment. how chun(or boring/mundane) is that?? since i have nothing to post, i just post this lah, the entry i posted at the subject blog website.

The article by Clive Thompson: Blogs to Riches talks about how blogs have turned out to be a money making business. With free blog services like Blogspot, Xanga and Tabulas, almost anyone can start blogging. Some start it off as a hobby, publishing posts about their interests whereas some do it to earn an income.

For the latter group, they must realise there are 3 levels of popularity in the blogsphere: A, B and C (A being the best). The blogger can start slugging it out once the he/she accept the fact that obtaining an A level blog isn't going to be easy.

Next, in order for a blog to be famous, it just has to be linked by the thousands if not the hundred thousands of other blogs. To have such an amount of readers requires either good/witty/exciting posts or being linked by one of the A level bloggers. Once a blog has a worthy amount of readers to be called an A blog, only then will it be come famous.

Now this is where it gets noticed by advertisers which pay anywhere from $5 to $30 per 1000 views. Gawker, a gossip site, has average page views of 200,000. Hence, this could amount to $4000 a day. That's $28,000 a week.

Money does not come easy. This is certainly true for those who earn a living by blogging. In order to keep readers hooked and coming back, he/she has to constantly update the posts around the clock. John Battelle owner of Federated Media went on a book tour with his published book on Google and neglected his blog for a few days. What resulted was emails threatening to pull out from his blog. There's one which read "If you don't get your sh*t together, I'm out of here"

bored?

2006-03-22T23:52:00.000-08:00

this is a first attempt for the most boring post:

today i woke up.

the trip to melbourne

2006-02-27T21:13:00.000-08:00

i just came back from melbourne for a 5 day holiday. i find that the city of melbourne, or melbourne itself is more welcoming compared to sydney. eventhough it's smaller, it's more relaxing. and one thing, it's infested with malaysians. everywhere i go, i can hear the person passing me, standing next to me or sitting next to me speaks in a m'sian/sg slang. no wonder they don't have a m'sian club in melb uni. all i saw was indo and sg club.

i arrived on tuesday night and took a taxi to college square. that's where yoong xiong(timothy) is staying. once i reached, i had to call him to come get me. but i forgot his number! aih. had to call yoong yit, to tell me his number, hahah.

i'm too lazy to tell what i did everyday, so i'll just tell in general what i did. i went to yoong xiong's uni and to the orientation which had a bush dance. it was fun, but tiring. they had 2 sessions of dance, i went for the first one but was quite tired for the second, so i just sat there and watched.
other places i went was the city and the beach. the city is very organized and the pavements are definitely wider. oh, and trams are everywhere compared to busses in sydney. i didn't do much shopping cos' most of the shops are similar to sydney.
there was one day when i wanted to go to the beach with jeysern(tim's hse mate) and yoong xiong but it was too hot. so i thought ok lah, nvm, go the next day. then when the next day came, while i was on the way there, it rained! haha, great. ended up walking along the shops there.
one of the highlights i must say was playing mafia in juwen's house. he invited a few friends over. i went with jeysern, yoong xiong, and jonathan(ben's bro). it was just hilarious lah playing mafia and the most deprived.
here are some pics.

at juwen's open house.

after the bush dance in melb uni.

the view from the place i stayed.
that's the entrance to college square.

last lecture

2006-02-08T06:07:00.000-08:00

yo wasszup. tomorrow's my last lecture. right now my brain's tired. was preparing for the lab homework which was supposed to be passed up tomorrow. it really squezzed all the brain juices out..
anyway everything's been going good. exam's next week and after that i have a 2 week break.
was hoping for a chance to go back for a holiday, but don't think it'll come true, haha.

anyway i was thinking, if you're originally from m'sia, and you fly to australia... does that make you 2/3 hours older?
and if you were in australia, and you flew back to m'sia, does that make you 2/3 hours younger? haha

ang pow na lai!

2006-01-27T03:27:00.000-08:00

how is everyone? it's been an ok summer here in sydney. just another 2 more weeks and i finish.
i'm sure everyone's busy preparing for cny, buying cookies, buying new clothes, and preparing to receive ang pows, haha.
hopefully it won't be a quiet cny for me here. will go to church then probably china town or something on sunday.

so remember when you low the yee sang, must low high high, haha.
have a great chinese new year.

Gong Hei Fatt Choy!

not 1, not 2 but 3

2006-01-19T19:54:00.000-08:00

i bit my ulcer 3 times in the past few days. the 3rd time i bit it was having lunch at this vietnamese coffee shop. quickly took a tissue to dry the wound. the owners of the shop must've thought that their food is so delicious until ppl can bleed from eating it, haha.

back in australia

2006-01-06T19:05:00.000-08:00

hey guys, i know not alot of ppl read my blog but i haven't been updating since i left for m'sia for the 1 month hols.
i didn't update when i was in m'sia cos' i was lazy, haha. actually i didn't feel like updating for a long time until yoong asked why i haven't been updating.

anyway the holidays in m'sia was a truly a wonderful and great one. got to meet up with friends, and of course my gf.. haha. will tell you more about my hols later (or maybe never), now i think going to rest for a while..

maggi goreng, here i come

2005-11-24T08:05:00.000-08:00

yo, i can't believe it, 10 months have passed so fast. i can remember the time that i left for australia this year. and i said to myself, aiiya... 9 months will pass very fast wan lah... and you know what, it did.

haha.

so, i will see you guys in malaysia soon.

tim has left the building.

and it's time to start packin

2005-11-18T05:37:00.000-08:00

yo waasszup. exams are over... and i haven't been doing much since.

let's see, yesterday i watched Flight Plan with my china and malaysian friend. it was ok lah... it's about this lady(Jody? Foster) who loses her child on the plane. the crew on the plane thinks she's hallucinating, but she thinks she's right. who 's correct? go watch the movie, haha.
speaking about movies, does anyone know whether GSC at 1u is open already? and is it better than TGV? i should think so lah, GSC seems to have a higher class than TGV... the name itself sounds higher class, ahha.

after the movie we were walking to the bus stop when we passed this pub. through the windows we could see a big screen showing the match between Australia and Uruguay. it was in extra time so we thought, aiiya.. just stay and watch until the end. the socre was locked at 1 all, aggregate. it went to penalties, and Australia went on to win it. and so Australia is in the world cup. hhm.... and i'm still waiting for the public holiday to be announced.

i was surfing the web and i was quite curious to find out more info about the Airbus A380.
ladies and gentlemen, i give you the A380:

A380

the interior. nice.

look at the size of that plane.

here are 2 interesting facts.

#Fact 1.
you thought the A380 is the biggest plane ever built? well, it is not.
the biggest plane to be built is the Ukrainian An-225 Cossack.

i think taman megah can fit inside that plane. hahah.

#Fact2
The Airbus A380 wasn't entirely built in France. infact, the parts were awarded to various parts of the world to work on. and believe it or not, Malaysia is one of those countries.

Composites Technology Research Malaysia designed and produced the fixed leading edge lower panels and the inboard outer fixed leading edge for the A380. Engineers worked closely with the Airbus integrated design build team at Filton in the UK for nine months before design activities were transferred to Malaysia.

exams coming

2005-10-29T18:15:00.000-07:00

wahh... exams will be here in 1 week's time. i won't be blogging for this whole week until my exams are over.

wanna wish my friends all the best.

*edit* forgot to tell you all, that the time difference between m'sia and aus is now 3 hours

presentation and princess

2005-10-21T19:45:00.000-07:00

i had my final year project presentation yesterday. since it was only 20 minutes, it was decided that 3 ppl give the presentation cos' it would be distracting if the whole 6 of us present. i was in charge of clicking the power point slides. and you might be thinking "aiiya, clicking only what, no problem" but in actualy fact, it's quite difficult. the reason being, you have to know exactly when to change the slides.

aih.. when clicking the powepoint slides seems so easy, i accidentally clicked on the wrong thing. my friend came along to helped and thankfully it went on as normal. after our presentation was a short Q&A session and there was this strict lecturer who has very high standards in the same room as us. he's the lecturer who isn't easily satisfied with your work.

so he asked our group some questions and we answered but not to his satisfaction. while the other group after us were preparing for the presentation he asked our project manager sommore questions. we decided to quickly get out of the room as soon as the last presentation ended, hahah.

after the presentation i went for lunch with the group. i had pineapple fried rice... hahah.
then we went to Low's place to look at his dog, Princess... sooo cute man.

from left: cynthia, xiao, Fang(PM), Rebecca, Low, me

another group pic

infront of my cousin's workplace in uni.
for your information, that's how i stood in the presentation.

Princess and me. She's a smaller version of a husky, forgot what it's called.

a lesson learnt

2005-10-13T18:18:00.000-07:00

never drink tea after 11pm unless you really have to.
i drank this 3 in 1 ipoh old town tea last night. i only used half the packet, and kept the rest in a tupperware. but even that didn't stop me from having difficulties sleeping last night.
i just lied there, and my mind was so active, thinking about this and that. i think i only managed to sleep at 4am, by that time i could hear some birds chirping liao, hahah. but surprisingly, i'm not tired now, feel quite alert and awake.

i'm in a lab now, was supposed to have a class at 12pm but i just got news that our group is going to the 1pm class, aih... 1 1/2 hours to kill. the rest of the team members are on their way to uni to finish the report and i'll be meeting them when they arrive.
BUT, i've got 2 choices: to meet them or to have lunch first... decisions decisions... hahah.

anywayy, i chatted with her last night on the phone. i was using this phone card, called "Me", not bad rates, $30 can get you 3000 minutes, siao. it's i think 0.75 cents to call a LAN line in malaysia. but very funny you know, it's even cheaper to call a mobile in singapore. so halfway talking, the operator's voice said i had low credit, so i quickly told her that i had low credit and the line might be cut off anytime soon. the second i told her that, the line got cut off.. hahah.
ended up talking abit more in skype.

short sleeves and bermudas and SPM

2005-10-04T22:35:00.000-07:00

i just handed up my first assignment for the semester. and just like that, a few loads of burden is lifted. suddenly i have the motivation to study and work harder... i don't know why. i think it's partly cos of the weather.. IT'S NOT COLD ANYMORE! hence the title of this entry. i can't find my bermuda pants that i brought over here, the one that i wear in pj. i remember i brought it lah... but i searched just now, takda. but my mother said it isn't in the house wor, so either some customs officer stole it when my luggage was in transit or it's somwhere here or somewhere hidden in my house in pj.

i've been going to sleep quite late the past few days.. and i think this will be continuing until the next month. hopefully i'll be discplined to sleep earlier cos' it's not that good to sleep so late.

anyway my draft timetable is already out, and all my papers finish in the first week, chun man. but this means that i won't have alot of time to study compared to say, if my exams were stretched. BUT THEN, if i finish in one week, i can get rid of it faster.
i remember in SPM, all those poor science students, had to drag the bio paper, or is it physics? because of the sultan's death, they had to postpone the paper till end of nov or begining of dec like that. i was already in singapore for a holiday when they still had a paper, hahah. being a student from the art's stream, i was so fortunate to finish the paper so early, can enjoy.

it was my last paper, accounts. the feeling of hearing the examiner say the words "ok, letakkan pensel atas meja dan berhenti menulis" on the last paper you're sitting... indescribable i tell you. you just can't help but lean back on your chair, give a big sigh of relief have a big smile on your face. turning left, and right to see your friends happy also makes you happy.
everyone gave a loud cheer when we walked out of the exam room. well, except for those science students who still had sommore subjects to do, hahah.

it was the last time i wore a school uniform too.

raw

2005-09-27T23:18:00.000-07:00

i went to this japanese restaurant last friday with my uni mates. i thought it was going to be the typical wan you know, with the sushi, ramen. i thought it was going to be cheap also. well, i was wrong.
before we went in, we had to take off our shoes and put them in a plastic bag. from then on, i knew this wasn't your typical japanese restaurant. anyway, i quickly tied my plastic bag as tight as possbile, heh.
so we were brought to our table and given the menu. i thought we were going to eat ramen, haahh. but we ended up ordering a plate of raw beef. it was the first for me lah, eating raw beef other than sushi. quite chewy. then we ordered also something like steam boat, but the soup the put in was more like "si yao". it was black in colour. along with the steamboat came a plate of vegetables, red raw meat, noodles and 2 eggs.
my friend collin asked who wanted the eggs, and gerald said he will share it with collin. so they both took one egg and cracked it into a bowl.

so gerald asked "so how're you going to cook it? pour into the soup?"
collin answered "hah? eat it like that lah. dip the meat in the egg and eat it like that. that's how they do it in japan"

gerald immediately dropped his chopsticks. hahah.

gerald sharing some joke

me, steven, collin, gerald, mavalda

time for me to update

2005-09-20T04:36:00.000-07:00

i'm running out of things to say. but i'll try my best to update.
what's been happening lately? i'm doing good.. still surviving. wahh... i really can't think of anything to say.
i'll try to excite you with my day today. today i had tutes and lectures in the morning.. can say tuesday 's the busiest lah.. after that can relax for the week liao. but i can't, cos' i got alot of cathing up to do.
then for this semester for our major project, we're supposed to work with a real world client. this client deals with shares. their software allows users to analyze the stock market. so one of our objectives was to enhance the website's layout.
at first, he said, "ohh, ok, do whatever you want with the website. add flash, or anything to make it nice"
so that's what we did. we added flash, and made it nicer. BUT, when we showed the design to the client, he didn't like it. he said it was too flashy, and the design was bad. then now only he specified how he would like the website to be. he specified exactly as the old website.
and we were thinking what difference is there if the new design is based on the old website?
at first we were kind of frustrated, but then we thought, we're working for the client, and he has the final say. so we tried our best to enhance the website as much as we could without changing too much... and so far, it's ok lah...

and for each week, we're supposed to do a presentation on our progress. so far, everyone has done once. there are 2 more presentations to go. and our project leader has voluntereed to do the 2nd last one. and the last presentation is for those who didn't do well for their presentation.
however, none of us wants to present. ahhah. so we discussed with our supervisor and he allowed us not to present.
i can imagine on the day of the presentation,

Supervisor: "group X won't be presenting cos' they don't want to...."

hahah.

football

2005-09-11T19:11:00.000-07:00

i either read or heard this somewhere before, and i think it's quite true:

"The only thing that can come between a man and his woman on a Saturday night is
the English Premier League"

hahaha.

thank you Lord

2005-09-06T04:39:00.000-07:00

i met the professor today discuss about the subjects i have to take next semester.

Initially, during the 1st few discussions last semester, he said that i would have to do summer school. that means only a 1 month holiday in m'sia(which i should be thankful also).. but knowing me, i miss malaysia so much and haven't been back for 1 year already, i would have loved if i had 3 months holiday.

so back to the meeting with the prof. i could not have expected what happened next.
he said that i do not have to do any subjects in summer school! and that i don't have to do any more math subjects... heheh.
and sommore, now i get to go to singapore to visit her :)

walliauu... i just wanted to jump with joy man!! i really thank God for this.

hey!

2005-09-05T00:04:00.000-07:00

wasszup guys. yesterday, i went to the ~~con~~ malaysian-fest with teng yuen after church. we didn't stay too long cos' the weather was exactly like last year, only worse. there wasn't much ppl cos' it was so cold and windy. anyway i took some pics.

where is everyone ?

be careful, anyone who eats from this stall will get pms.

on the left: i forgot what's the name. nasi pulut right?
on the right: kuih kosui

there are 3 types of food there. try to guess what it is.

pisang goreng. i could only finish one. i gave the remaining one to my friend.

mee soto.

me enjoying the me soto... hahah.

oh, and i bought cendol from this stall. there were 2 stalls lah.. one operated by malays and chinese. so i wanted to buy from the chinese wan, but then my friend said, "eh, i think malays make better cendol" which after some thinking... is quite true also lah, hahah. so i bought from the malay stall.

i was happily smiling when they made the cendol until the lady added 2 yellow stuff. after my nose picked up this familiar scent and upon closer inspection, i realised she was adding nagka and durian into the cendol.

this was my expression:

monash site got hacked

2005-08-31T06:45:00.000-07:00

haha, i just received news that Monash Malaysia's website got hacked.

walliau wehh... serious man, i'm speechless.... go to drliew's blog and download the song. Negaraku is actually a hawiian song!!

what to update ah

2005-08-28T08:39:00.000-07:00

i really don't know what to update or rather, i'm not that motivated to blog anymore.. cos' you see, with my previous blog, it was unique, cos' where can you get a blog name like, everyone.is.not.theuesless.com? anyway it was good blogging on that blog, i got it free sommore, thanks paul for hosting my blog and countless others. but now .theuesless is no more.. so sad.. hahah.

spring is finally here, or so it seems.. i can see the buds sprouting from the trees already. but still, quite cold..
anyway i met up with teng yuen for dinner on Friday. i had siew yok fan. it was ok lah... this was a vietnamese restaurant. it was served with the siew yok, rice and vegies, but it was quite dry lah.. however they did provide a small bowl of sauce.. so i thought that sauce was like in pj wan you know, thick and sweet(i think... hahah) so i go and pour the whole bowl onto my plate. then after eating it for a while, it didn't register to my brain that it was actually salty, VERY salty. so i asked for another bowl of sauce and poured it over also! hahah. my lips was so red man, after eating that.

is THAT corrupted

2005-08-22T01:23:00.000-07:00

i was chatting with my indo friend and he said that Indonesia is very corrupted. he told me this report he read.

The indo govt caught this lady trying to smuggle drugs into the country. they found drugs in her bag. she claims that she didn't know anything about it.. i don't know whether she's telling the truth.
but anyway, after the found the drugs, they weighed it, and it was 4.2kg.
then a few weeks into the trial, when they weighed it again, it was 4.1kg. where did the 100g of drugs go?? hahaha, take a guess.

irony

2005-08-17T09:45:00.000-07:00

i saw this on the tv today:

there is no 'I' in 'team'.

rearrange the letters, and you get 'me'.

busy days ahead

2005-08-16T07:01:00.000-07:00

how is everyone doing? i got nothing interesting to blog... hhhm.... well, i'm doing the major project for my course this semester. and my group has 6 members, including me. and all the members are asian :| hahah, which is good and bad lah.. good cos' i'm more relaxed. bad cos' i don't get to mix with other non-asian students. but i'd rather go with the good.

my team members are from china,taiwan,singapore,abc, malaysia(me).
our client is chinese...
our supervisor is chinese..

has australia taught me to mix with non-asians? i don't think so..... hahah.

i apologize... heh.

Edwin Mccain - I Could Not Ask For More

Lying here with you,
Listening to the rain,
Smiling just to see, The smile upon your face,
These are the moments, I thank God that I'm alive,
These are the moments, I'll remember all my life,
I found all I've waited for,
And I could not ask for more.

Looking in your eyes,
Seeing all I need,
Everything you are, Is everything to me,
These are the moments, I know heaven must exist,
These are the moments, I know all I need is this,
I have all I've waited for,
And I could not ask for more.

Chorus:
I could not ask for more than this time together,
I could not ask for more than this time with you,
Every prayer has been answered,
Every dream I have's come true,
And right here in this moment, Is right where I meant to be,
Here with you, Here with me. . .

These are the moments, I thank God that I'm alive,
These are the moments, I'll remember all my life,
I've got all I've waited for,
And I could not ask for more. . .

I could not ask for more than the love you gave me,
'Coz it's all I've waited for . . .
And I could not ask for more,
I could not ask for more.

just wanna share with you some pics i took.

the 1st pic you see here is a chess competition set up by the chess club.

the guy on the right must be the club president or something.
he went up and down the row challenging about 5 ppl!
i think he's training to be the next garry kasparov.

the next 2 pics shows what happens when you're bored in a lecture. i tried to pay attention, but
the with lecturer speaking so soft and in monotone sommore, very difficult to concentrate.

i'm bored

i'm really bored

Mmm... Nasi Lemak

comes with rice, cucumber, ikan bilis, nuts, hard boiled egg, sambal and curry chicken

there's something wrong with the next picture

walliau, i dare not eat this ice cream. hahah.

and so it starts

yoyooyoyy

a new semester, and a new start. i was going through my textbooks for next week's tute, and i realised that this semester's going to be a tough one. i can't screw up also, cos' i can't afford to. once things get going, this semester will fly like nobody's business. before you know it, you're preparing for the finals.

hhm... my MSN is a little bit cacated. i was having a conversation with my friend, was chatting chatting, then suddenly she didn't reply. walliau, i realised that i wasn't signed in ! but the strange thing is, i didn't get disconnected and my MSN still showed that i was online. wah, was "disconnected" for 30 mins and i didn't know it.
it's either my connection or MSN.

here's an equation for those who work and club:

work + stress == clubbing

clubbing == hangovers

hangovers == can't perform at work

can't perform at work == stress

2nd part

2005-07-23T21:44:00.000-07:00

here's the 2nd part of my holidays.

as i said earlier, i had 2 group of friends, from canberra and brisbane. this entry will be about my friends from brisbane, the shins: shin wee, shin yee, alysia?, and joan. shin wee and shin yee are sisters. to avoid confusion, we just call them chingy, heh.

i met them at the Queen Victoria Building (QVB) in the city. that place would turn out to be the hq for them cos' they would meet there everytime, haha. we hang-kied for around that area while waiting for my cousin and corinne to come.

me and shin yee at QVB.
QVB is a high class shopping centre, all the stuff there are sooo expensive.
just to see only, can't buy.

after meeting them, i took them to this Malaysian place for lunch. this place served food which has the closest authenticity to the food back home. staying in aus for half a year now has lowered our chilli powers, cos' ppl here hardly eat spicy food. this proved to be true when shin yee couldn't tahan the chilli on the cha kuey teow. speaking about chilli, drinking milk can definitely neutralize the heat in your mouth, seriously! and speaking about milk, try drinking it with honey, Mmm. hahah, i'm writing off the point now.

from left: corinne, pat, me shin wee and shin yee.
and on the left table is: hainanese chicken rice and hokkien chow mien.
on the right table is: cha kuey teow and hokkien chow mien.

after lunch, we headed of to my uni. i don't know but everytime i take visitors to my uni, it will always be cloudy and dull, aih.. can't it be sunny for once??

shin wee, pat, me and shin yee in fron of the main building in uni sydney.
notice the sky, so gloomy.

i don't know these people.

then after the next few days, we went to this casino, Star City. this is the first time the tourists visited that casino. after studying here for 1 1/2 years, this was my first time also : / haha. i had to bring my passport along to prove that i was 18 ++. abit dangerous lah, carrying your passport around. i could have used a prove of age card but i haven't made it yet.

the next day, we went to the Hillsong night rally. there were 2 services, 5pm and 7pm. we decided to go for the 5pm one, but the line was freakin long man. so we waited for the 7pm. there were large chess and checker boards, so while waiting the girls played a few rounds. the service this year around was different from the previous years, the sermon was longer than praise and woship. but overall it was great. although we sat behind the stage, i was thankful that we even managed to get in.

after their trip here, the chingys, joan and alysia left for melbourne. had a great time with them, esp making lame jokes, haha.

where have i been

2005-07-20T23:36:00.000-07:00

hi ho. the holidays has been great one. with friends coming from canberra and brisbane. for those who are unfamiliar, canberra is in Sydney but very very far from the city. the distance is equivalent from pj to johor. and brisbane is in another state.

for part I of my holidays trilogy, i'll be talking about corinne's trip.
ok, where to start.... i don't know where to start.

i can't remember exactly what we all did, but here goes.

for the begining of the hols, we went to this place called Blacktown to get her ice-skates. actually i didn't want to go wan, but aih.. forced to, haha.

Corinne also cooked for my cousin and me. walliau, so much food man.. could feed at least 5 ppl, haha. the only mistake i made was putting the steak into the microwave. tsk tsk tsk, remember, DO NOT put steak into the microwave or else it will taste like rubber.

steak, pasta, fried potatoes(something like wedges),
and... fried onions. she also made mushroom soup, which isn't in the pic.

this is me helping out.

Then johan(my cousin's friend), cor and me went to a gelato shop. gelato is this nice ice cream lah... italian ice cream. had 2 scoops of white chocolate and mint. Mmm, love the mint man. eventhough it's winter, you might be wondering why we still eat ice cream, well... cos' it's nice mah.

at the gelato shop.

sadly i didn't transfer the pics of the panckaces onto my comp. so there're no pics of the delicious panckaces.
johan, pat(my cousin), me and corinne at the panckace shop. it was aleady i think 10 or 11pm something. if you go there, you'll notice that the majority of patrons are asians. i think it's in our culture lah, to have late meals. mamak, where are you??

overall her trip here was a good one. she got to know pat's friends more, namely johan. she also realized that canberra is like ipoh..... quiet, hahah, nolah.

ho li da ys
