culture difference

• If you have red hair back in Malaysia, everyone would be at awe. As how my brother likes to put it, "head-turning" hairstyle. He always claim that about his hair. And i remembered when my hair was super-red the time, all the people in the pasar malam was like looking at me. AHaha..don't know whether it's because they think it's cool or they think it's gross but still head-turning right?
• Here if you have red hair, it considered normal. Red is such a common colour here. If u want to be unique or stand out in the crowd, probably you should have hair dyed in green or bright purple or pink, even yellow or blue! There are way more diversity in hairstyles and hairdos compared to back home, people here are more daring i guess?
• In Malaysia, there's a lower tolerance to fat people. Most people who are just slightly overweight or chubby, would have been considered an ugly sight to look at. Here, i'm not talking about really really overweight until damn disgusting to look at but just those, slightly over. And people around would already look in disgust. Like as if it's a crime to be overweight. Which reminded me, the other day i was watching this show on TV, "Last Comic Standing", there was this guy named Alphie and he was like what Eu said, "a big blob or slob". Meaning he's so gross all his fat was like jelly-ish...wobbly...
• Here, i think u have to be really obese to be considered overweight or something. People would still dress as freely as they like even though the blob of fat is like jutting out of their shirt or something. Beer belly for girls is just a common sight. As a friend's aunt once said when she was here on a visit, if we Malaysian were to even have the slightest tummy or something, we wouldn't even dare where shirt that would expose that away. Oh, by the way, i'm talking about women not men. Like as if man would give a damn how they look, unless he's a metrosexual guy or gay?
• People in Australia is more confident with their looks and care less about what people think of them as compared to Malaysian. Just that two points that i made illustrated the validity of this statement. Here, even if you are fat, like me...i have a big tummy! You would only think that i'm thin because i'm small size, people will go around asking, "Why are you Asians so thin and slim? Is it the food you eat?". Such compliment huh?

vailidity of theory

The other day, my friend came up with this "brilliant" theory of his. Want to hear about it? He said that since the past few days was really hot i.e. it's never been so hot in April since it's approaching winter soon, it's going to be really cold during the winter. Reason? Because now we get "credit" by getting hot weather in autumn and we will have to pay back for the luxury now, hence the cold winter. Make any sense? It's like super cold now! And i thought yesterday was cold. I'm basically freezing here in my own unit. At least last time at that crappy place where we didn't have to pay for the electricity, i sure on heater already but now that we have to pay for our own bills and all, have to try and save as much as we can so we can spend that money on something else. =( Where's my man when i need him? Why? Cuz i want him to help me carry down that suitcase of mine to take out my thick jackets!

disfunctional chatterbox

This stupid chatterbox always unavailable one...how many times must i refresh and load the page just to see if anyone posted something for me? Hmm..maybe i should try changing it like david, but then i don't like that interface, i think this interface is nicer worr...But does it matter? I'm suppose to be doing something more productive for the remaining of my day. Ahahah...not like a lot of ppl want to msg me or anything. Sorry...for being perasan. =P

no difference: hols or no hols

Before that remember in the previous post i said something about a pancake and ice cream day? Well, that was a disappointment. I thought we were supposed to make our own pancakes and ice creams but apparently we were just suppose to eat not make. So while we gals were disappointed about that, the guys were more than happy to gobble down all those pancakes. So that was the story of our pancake and ice cream day. Last weekend was Frances' birthday. She turned 21 on 23rd April. It was sort of a slow and minimal celebration from the group of us, none of us even got her a birthday cake..although we did get her presents. I felt sorry for her after that so we, the closer lot of us, took her out to Brunetti for a cuppa coffee and bought her this cute cake that they have there. I hope she liked it though. I mean like imagine how bad we are as friends if she had to pay for her own hot chocolate in Koko Black on her birthday despite not getting a birthday cake from us. Ahaha...i really hope i made up for it! What's more she's not in a good luck streak nowadays...what more can a friend do but to make her feel better if we can't help right?

On another matter, i am disappointed at myself for not getting much work done during the ANZAC day holiday. I had a weekend of three days and i barely got anything done. I was like saying to a friend, that if we had less holidays, probably i would get more things done. The thought of having so many days of just demotivates me from doing work. Imagine we were so bored that we decided to get hooked on a video game! Much more times wasted doing nothing. Like waking up at 3 pm on monday then laze around and finally want to do work the time it's already 5 pm...then dinner...then yum cha! Ahaha...how we can just manage to waste all this extra time huh? Well well, so i thought i was suppose to catch up on my reading for test and stuff then guess what i did just afternoon? SLeep!! Ahaha..then when i tell myself..since i sleep already later should feel more awake to do work, then i'll be watching TV for sure! That's life! Hope i don't regret this in the future...test ar! Where got ppl go study so much total of 18 Lectures just to answer 15 MCQs worth 10%!?? DOesn't make sense to me, does it make sense to u? So i guess that's another factor that demotivates me from studying. Cis, procastination as usual...

gaming norm?

I wonder if this is true of all people, or is it just me? Perhaps some people will call people like me kiasu but it's just a feeling..burst or emotions when you can't achieve what you wanted to do. And here, i'm referring to playing games. You know how is it that if you are playing a particular game, and everything doesn't seem to be going well, you'll get frustrated and continue to get worst? Well, it happens to me too. Like yesterday, when i was playing ping pong and was kinda better than the previous time i played, i felt motivated to play again and i actually had fun. The joy when you managed to safe the ball...makes it all worthwhile. Then at other times when i was really bad [and obviously i blamed the bat cuz it was like totally torn apart]...i just didn't feel that i was up for more practice...sort of gave up hope on my ping pong "skills" [that is if i had any]. Then same goes to a game of pool. I didn't want to play cuz i've always sucked at pool...what do you call the pool with red and yellow balls huh? american pool? Ahaha..whatever that is. So as i was saying, eugene and royston wanted to play pool and i was just there as a spectator. Then after they finished their round, eugene ask me to play with royston, cuz he's also just starting to learn and naturally i'm not a good player myself. But to my surprise, maybe i should say luck, i won!! Ahaha!! Same thing again, you feel that you've achieved something that makes you want to continue playing. What felt better was when the shots were like cool!! Makes me ponder on my accuracy but obviously most of the time not accurate one. Ahh...satisfaction! So, feel good and motivated when you're good and frustrated and angry when you're bad?

Oh, later gonna go make pancakes and icecreams! I think so la but obviously i hope don't need to make and just get to eat for free ma. I wonder...will tell you guys later when i come back from that outing! Hmm...don't know can make durian ice cream a not leh? Ahaha..but ah mos don't like durian one...

parts of a puzzle

why must there always be secrecy of information. there's so much i want to say...i just wanted to express how angry i am...how upset i am...about certain thing that is happening around me. yet, i have no one i can talk to about except my closest friend(s). and now i can't even blog about it here because some people might get offended with what i say. so what's the point of having a blog if i can't express myself, not even here? tell me now!?

fraction of thoughts:
# how friends became strangers...
# how once upon a time became meaningless...
# how the past haunts the present...or even the future...
# how someone trustworthy and respectable became someone worst than a piece of shit...
# how we are so near, yet so far...
# how a happy person became sad in just a blink of an eye
# how puppies can grrRr...
# how i feel tired even with sufficient sleep...

whatever!!! still no meaning of typing much if i can't write what i want to say...signing off...

the jinx year ?

Did any of u noticed that something isn't really right about everything that's happening this year? Don't u think there's too many sad/bad news all around the world and needless to say, it's only the beginning of the year! We're not even halfway through this year. It makes me sick to know of all the things that's happening around me. Well, i guess the most tragic lost to most ppl around the world now is the death of POPE JOHN PAUL II. This guy named Sanjeep from the Victorian Police Force came to give us a talk about how are things like in the force and he pointed out that regardless of nationality or differences, a successful leader would be one that inspires all and they will be the mark of time, marking significant revolution. As he gave us an example, take Jesus for instance, before he came to lead mankind, it was called BC i.e. before Christ and after laying his impact towards mankind, years were called AC i.e after Christ. Well, though it may not relate much to his speech on the police force,i thought it to be a very thought provoking point. I mean like though the pope is like a leader to the Roman Catholics, he has touched many around the world with his inspirational speeches, he has reached an international recognition not only by Catholics but every other person on earth. Then, yesterday i heard of the death of a Monaco prince from news. Basically, news on tv have been really flooded with news of who's dead and who's dying and stuff like that. Like that woman who had a brain damage or something one? Then another woman is Aussie who was attacked or something and now in a vegetative state? Then about this aggresive family members of some guy who got killed when police raid their house? I guess the only supposed to be happy news is that PRINCE CHARLES is getting married! I'm sure no one in the world would be sharing his joy and happiness in a miserable start of the year. Get the hint la idiot! Where got people go get married on his own grandmother's death anniversary one? So desperate to marry until like that! Apart from that, following the incident of the TSUNAMI at the end of Dec, there has been many more earthquake and stuff like that in Indonesia. It's like affecting everyone there emotionally, worst still knowing they can't afford to run away from such disaster. I can just hope and pray all this natural disaster will not affect Msia that much. We learned in Geography that Malaysia was one of the luckiest country to be free of natural disasters such as earthquake, or volcanos and stuff like that. It hardly seem to be true nowadays. Not only that, there's a lot of things that are personal too. But i guess it's not right for me to bring it up since it's supposed to be very very very personal stuff. So sorry can't share with u all, but i am all hardened inside. Well, one that i can share with you guys is that my precious Kelisa had been trashed by my brother TWICE!! It's just so unbelievable how it happened, but hey it happened!! No, i don't blame him for trashing my car, i guess it's not his fault. How can u get bang is every other car is stationary including yours!! How stupid and blind can that HONDA MALAY BASTARDS be to bang into an innocent KELISA like mine!? To make matters worst, because the car is so small i guess it's light too, so STRONG that it pushed my poor Kelisa to hit the crowbar of an UNSER! Tough luck huh? But no worries, my car is wrecked but my bro's fine. So, i have to suppress my outburst of emotions regarding the other matters and keep it to myself. It's supposed to be a SECRET. *lynn seals lip tight* So, don't you agree that this is a jinx year? And those feng shui ppl! claiming that this would be a better year compared to the year of the tiger, my foot!

slow but progressing

Well well, i'm sure u know what i'm referring to rite? So, let me recap:

• Sun: Read materials
• Mon: Read materials
• Tues: Write ouline [half the essay only]
• Wed: Start writing [4 paragraphs]
• Thurs: Continue writing [2 paragraphs]

I wonder why do i take so long to just finish this stupid essay? I guess i'm just not that organize, always can't seem to find where all the materials i have and in which book, then the info all so messy don't know how to make it look coherent and flow. So each time after i write each sentence, have to read again to see if it fits where it is...even writing one sentence takes longer than normal. Maybe lapuk in writing essays liaoz. Anywayz, just another paragraph and conclusion to go...then the reference list. That's it!! Motivated to finish up but not enough points for my last paragraph. Reading reading...wish me luck to finish it by today, hopefully early then i can go shopping!!
