あつい。。

きみわあついですね。

Well, this is Australia. They even have bush fire today at Endeavour hills due to the hot weather which the temperature can go as high as 44 C. Basically, due to the over demand for electricity, the transformer in the power plant in Victoria even exploded. Causing the West Victoria to experience power failure. Oh yea, it did cause us some trouble when we go around looking for a nice place for dinner. All the shop actually are closed due to the power failure. 400 trains being cancelled. What else can possibly go much more worst than this in Melbourne.

Nothing? Haha. 

Oh yea, I can't even go long boarding today after yesterday experience. I tumble over on the road in the middle of the night. I wanted to long board again but I am having my exam tomorrow. I am not risking my paper just because I injured myself during boarding session. Argh.. 

Patience....... Few more days and I will be done with this semester.

Oh yea.. The girls. They are just so similar to the weather. When the weather get too hot, we just can't stand it. So when the girls are too hot then I can't stand it too. Haha. Not forgeting that they too are unpredictable like the weather. 

CNY!?!?

CNY stands for Chinese New Year. Chinese New Year is not something that great. That is what I think. To me it is a good time for us to gather around as family or friends to meet up once a year. That's all. Well, maybe I should rephrase. It is good to have such festival for you to 'reconnect' yourself with them. 

In Melbourne, don't really feel much though. Friends do have dinner together over here and trying to make it interesting. It is good to know that they actually went trough the trouble to make these celebrations here for CNY.

Yea. I am still fucked up. I think it has been the 2nd night I am awake. This morning, my friend comment. "You are so fucked up." Well, I was awake whole night and went to gym early in the morning. "You are fucked up." by the same guy just now at Mcdonald. Well, I did not sleep for the whole day. I should be sleeping now? I still have to go to Melbourne Exhibition Centre to set up the booth. Yea, set up the booth for one of Australia biggest exhibition event, The Reed Gift Fair. Sorry guys, it is not open to public. Want to come into the fair, either you join as a member or contact us and we will get you a visitor pass.

I am crapping now. My mind wasn't functioning. Beside not sleeping, I even had around 6 bottles of beer plus red wine. After all that and I can still finish a past exam. Wondering why my body can handle it.

Sidetrack

Like always. People influence me easily. Easily got sidetrack. I should be studying. I have around 10 more hours to study hard. Guess that I have to really switch everything off and study. Have been viewing on different londboards. IT is an alternative transport for the current situation that the world is facing. Economic crisis where all the price is increasing for everything things around us. 

"Longboard. You just have to buy it once for around 400 USD. And you can use it for a long time without worrying bout the petrol price."

Currently this is the board I am eye-ing at. I will have to get it shipped from US.

I can board a bit now. Can't do tricks yet. Yesterday practise kinda screw my leg up. Using weights while boarding seem kinda tricky. I will really need to get my own board and practise. Then I will be able to board to campus instead of walking. The board that I am eye-ing at is a Torpedo 40". It is good for cruising as well. Can go around travelling and cruising with that. Cool? Oh yea, it is good for carving too.

Basically the Torpedo is the product of a company call "Original". 

Have a look at the video and you will know what Torpedo is all about.

Personally, I also prefer Apex 37".

Fucked up

Life before the exams can be very fucked up. I just woke up. At 9pm. Guess that I can stay up whole night long to study. And my fucking leg hurt.

How should I make my bog meaningful for today?

Maybe I can recommend the album by Taylor Swift. The title of the album is 'Fearless'. I find it nice. Still in the process of enjoying it so I can;t give much comment right now.

Besides, I have a new blog to intro I guess. http://debblogy.blogspot.com/.. It is a new blog by my friend. 

爱情

岑经有一份至真的爱情摆在我面前，

但是我没有去珍惜，

到没有的时候，先至后悔莫及。

这世界最痛苦莫过比此。

如果天可以给个机会我反回头的话,

我会同这个女人说 ‘我爱你’。

如果是要在这份爱情上加上一个期限，

我希望是一万年。

                                      -Stephen Chow-

These words, I had them with me for quite sometime. I still remmeber before my last exam around the month of October, while I was studying for my coming exam during that time, I had a conversation with a friend which lead to the findings of these words. We have to stream Stephen Chow movie to get the words. Spending the whole night looking for the words instead of studying. As for this semester, I end up typing them out. I found this paper with my old notes. 

That time after looking at the words, I end up reading them over and over again. There might be some words different from the original as I end up writing them in mandaring instead of cantonese. 

Today is Chinese New Year eve. Woke up late since I only manage to catch my bedtime early this morning. After I woke up, I went to the gym and end up wasting my time today. 'Shitty' day, I guess. Have to start studying soon I think. Wasting my time reading blogs. At least my favourite blogs did update themselves. Kennysia and another one is a blog of my friend. Kennysia had never failed to update me with news as well as fill my brain with craps. My friend has never fail to pour her feelings into the blog making it 'touche'.

Lately, my time is kinda occupied. Well, I have learn not to use the word 'busy' as well as 'too little time' and 'no time'. These words. I, now consider them selfish words used by human who do not know how to manage their time and end up neglecting the people arond them. I manage to find myself balancing my time though. I hope so. Cause I just learn to do so.

Felon

Don't run away from who you become, embrace it and grow from it.

Nice Pic

Light headed. Lack of sleep. Thanks to all the presentationa and assignments. Well, thanks to all the hard work, our presentation is excellent compare to others. I was asleep while listening to others. No offense. I will really fail other group. They don't even know how an engineer is supposed to give presentation.

Well, in this post i will be showing u guys a picture. I find it interesting. 

Basically it is a picture of a dead possum. If you look at the picture closely, you will be able to see a pinkish small creature beside the possum. It is the baby possum. From the picture, you can see that the mother possum was ripped of at the stomach and bleed to death. From this, we assume that the baby possum actually ripped of the mother stomach and came out into the atmosphere. However, it is still not ready yet and died together with the mother.

(The whole situation is some crap by Fendy. The photographer.)

This picture is consider normal to all the movies I had watched lately. Have been watching gruesome movies. Mostly involves cannibalisme. All these B-rated movies were well made. A few example would be, Rise of the Blood Hunter and Doomsday. 

Today, I was watching Rise of the Blood Hunter wile eating my dinner. Happily slicing my chicken thights, and watch the couple in the movie eating a life human. =.= I did stare at my chicken awhile before I continue eating.

Deal

Deal? Well, it is not the movie deal or not deal. It is the movie 'Deal' in year 2008. I like that movie even thoug it is kinda boring in the beginning. First of all it is bout the game of Poker. Second of all, I learn something from it. 

Poker. What do I like bout playing poker? It is all bout mind game. On the table I can choose to be anyone I want. Honest player? Deceiving player? I don't really mind bout losing in a game of poker. Maybe because I have been betting small on the game. It doesn't really bother me. Good point is, when I feel like I want to win then I will be winning in the table. 

Nah, I don't learn on how to play poker from the movie. I am not saying that I am a good poker player as well. I have learn something. Better than that. For those who have access to my personal blog will be able to know bout it. 

As for today, coudy morning. Good weather to laze around a bit. I have been doing my assignment for the whole day yesterday and today will be the same day. However, we need to go to some factory today to complete our assignment on Engrineering Process. Sam is lazy for gyn session again today. Well, I still work out a bit at home. So far, I am starting boxing soon. Might take up long boarding as well. Before that I will have to focus on finishing this semester first. I should. It is finishing in this month time.

Oh yea.. One more thing, early morning with a glass of milk is still my favourite way to start my day. No matter how much booze I drink, I still prefer a cold glass of milk. Still the same ehh...

Seasonal blogger

I am a seasonal blogger. I will suddenly update a lot of posts and suddenly quiet down. Blogging actually is tobuild my momentum on the study desk. It is in order for me to do my assignments and also my studies later on.

Today, I have to let my body rest from all the workouts. Fucking tired. So, what is interesting today?

I had watched two movies today. Both whacky movies. Meet Dave as well as The Wackness.

What did I earn from them?

Meet Dave, (What is the feeling of love and can you demonstrate it? When you feel it, you will no longer need the explanations.) 

The Whackness. Well, in this movie, we can see how screw up this world is for a ot of people. How they lead their scew up life and in the mean time struggling hard trying to achieve their goals in life. Do they have goals in the movie? I think one of them does. 

Basically, I am waiting for my friends laptop to fnish up the assignment which is due later. Just reformat my laptop. It feels that it is a brand new laptop. Nice and smooth. If only my life is ike my laptop. Once I have problem, I can just use one or two hours and reformat the whole thing. Then I can start all over again completely forgetting the past. Haha. I was just joking.

Well, besides that, today another chaos happened again. 3 guys trying to cook their dinner causing a whole mess in the kitchen once again. At least tody is better than before. Improvement. I am starting to think. I might have found somehting else that is fun to do. My friend always jkingly ask me to start a new life with a new name. It might be fun though. Since I am in a new country. Well, Australia still seem new to me. To be frank I always think that I can disguise as students from different country. Latest one is, people think that I have Canada accent. That is new. Maybe with my new name I can form a team like the movie Ocean. Since I have found two people to join in. It wil not be hard I guess. Just that we have to find talented people. Talented, commited and also perfectionist. The basic criteria.

What else. What happened today that send me thinking? Nothing else... 

8th Jan

8th Jan 09. Nice date. Woke up early and fresh? Yeap. I am fresh. After a 5 hours of early sleep due to slight headache last night. I think I had defined my goal for this year last night in the blog. Kinda blurry about what I had written. Well, you will be writing the "original things" when you are blurry. Human, they are easily being blinded when they are awake. Blinded by their thoughts. Their so called thoughts that they thought is essentials and important. Mostly the thoughts are just reasons for they themselves or things that they call problems. Or maybe blinded by what is in front of them now. The have forgot bout what they really want deep down and forgot to learn on how to fight for it or appreciate it.

Wow. How come I am saying all these early in the morning. Seem like I am able to wake up early this morning.

Flashback

Flashback. I have been here nearly for the whole year of 2008. I have been trough even more last year. I have learn about a lot of things. Seen a lot of things. I do still remember how I ended up here. Ended up in Australia. On the 14th of February then it will be a year. I still remember how I have to rush around to settle my things when I arrived here. It is surprising that Shimpei too arrived on the same date as I.

To think of it, when I have to make the decision to come here, it only took me one night. Just one night I have to work out on all the cons and pros of coming over to here. That is excluding the incident which happened to my family before I leave. When I think back, it wasn't easy for me to make the decision. I always tell others that,"My mother asked me to choose either Actuarial science or Engineering but I chosen engineering instead". It is true that my mum gave me the options to choose. But for me to take any decision, I always had a lot of outcomes running in my mind. Like Rach said, "I think too much".

Coming over suddenly does make me feel weird. But in the mean time, I do not stop there feeling weird. I know what I have to do. Maybe nobody knows what is my year 2008 resolutions. At that year my resolution is to get a kick start in my career path. I have got blinded by the resolution that year but in the end I manage to achieve good results in that year. Yea, I finally manage to kick start something even though I am still in my studies.

Few days ago, I manage to chat with a long lost "Best Friend" of mine. It has been a year since we chat with each other. The last time we met and chat with each other was exactly on the 1st of January 2008. We did have a good chat. Then something she said that made me contemplated for a moment at that time. "Now you got friends, family, relationship, business, and etc. You are the perfect man now." I would not agree to that. Maybe to some people a perfect man is that kind of man. To me a perfect man is someone that is able to protect and look over all the people around him. Maybe it is a traditional way of thinking but a man will really have to focus on their career first at a certain point of their life. Even though they might have family, friends or even a relationship, how will they be able to maintain all these without knowing the facts that they do not have a career or to make it simple, an income? That is the main reason I why I have decided to come over to Australia.

In Malaysia, even when I do part time jobs, I do not take them seriously. Even in studies, I have been taking things for granted from my parents. Many others do not see it but I do. I am living my life and I know what is going around with my life. To be frank, deep down I was afraid. Before coming here, I was afraid that in future, I won't be able to achieve anything and let everyone around me down. Most of the time, I do feel that my family have high hopes for me. However, with the way I am leading my life in Malaysia, I know I will fail them. That is why I have to make the decision to come over here.

I do have things that I am afraid of. In this blog, I will be putting a bit of my thoughts and feelings into it. I do learn something from last year too. That is to let people know what we actually are feeling and also thinking. Yesterday, when I was chatting with my cousin. I do feel good when I actually tell him that he can stay over and feel free to contact me if he needs any help since he is coming over here to Australia soon. It is true that I choose my current place of living because I was getting ready in case he is coming. It is also true that I did not tell anyone about this. So, it is not surprising that he didn't know about it. Well, even if you want to help others too, you got to speak out and tell them.

Well, I am a bit dizzy here. Another birthday celebration just now I guess. Never drink on an empty stomach. It really gets you high. Maybe I have high metabolism. It got absorbed into my body very fast. Yea. Very fast. Just now during dinner we do have interesting topics. It is true that we can buy anything in this world right now. Including friends. My friend ask me to send an email to all those who are in Australia, stating that there will be a free Karaoke on this Saturday. I guess all will come. Definitely. Pity shit. I have no problem telling people now, among all my friends, I only trust 4 of them. Yea, only four. One I know from primary school. Two I know from my high school. One is different school but doing law in UK now. Cause they know what I am thinking about. That simple.

Yea. Life is simple. I prefer to project that to other no matter how complicated the things are to me. As for this year resolutions. I will bring my team name up to IDAHO, USA. Nah, my name is not important. If you guys are in my team that means you trust me then I will use my time to work with you guys. So far, our name is already in Victoria. That is just a small step. Malaysia? Nah.. I am not really interested. I always aim higher and go for it. We as perfectionist will go for things that we have confidence in. If not we will prefer to let go or put it aside. So far, don't keep me those bullshit bout envy about our opportunity and you do not have time for it. If you really want it then ride in the boat with me. I don't care bout what you guys have and who you are. If you are in my team then we will work this trough together. My new year resolution. I know I am having my "high education" and also my career now. Then I will just need to work for it now.

Differences

Not long before this I did post up a post on how messy my house was. It is not really "was". It is messy again after last night party. It is always messy. After sleeping for two hours, a bit of workout in the morning, I walked downstairs. Stacks of pizza boxes. Bottles of "drinks" and glasses everywhere. =.=

I have been to Ing Ing's house before this, and seen the way on how her house mate and her cook together in the kitchen. They worked together very well. Cutting, frying and cleaning up the place. Their kitchen was as though as it was a new place. However, our house, when we cook together. "You suck man" and "Fuck you, always I wash" and "Last time I did that" are some of the phrases we can hear all the time. In the end we will just eat up our meal and lft most of the things there. It will be clean up after a few days when we finally got tired of looking at the dirty kitchen.

This is just some random post after seeing how dirty the kitchen was. Well, it is surprising that Shimpei actually said that our house looks neat when he came over the other day. I was wondering maybe among all the guys houses, ours do look neat or maybe because Ing Ing came over to cook the other day and clean up the kitchen nicely. Argh.. Screw it.

I think I have miss out a post. Well, I will update that tonight.

Amateur Photographer

It is 4.41am. I should be sleeping. I am tired, a bit sick, as well as having stomachache. Might as well find some stuffs to do. For instance update my blog? I should. There are a few posts that I should have update earlier. Well, a lot of things happened in the past two weeks I guessed. Today, my friends and I were still surprised that we had already started our classes. Time really flies. Two weeks of holiday had gone.

Amateur photographer. Yea, on the 30th of December. I got hold on a DSLR camera. Cost around 2000 AUD. What I can say is, the camera is worth the price. So on the day, it rains early in the morning when four people had decided to go for a trip around Mornington. Cherry picking and Strawberry picking were the main events for the day. Pictures taken by Sam Cheong

First of all our destination was the Cherry picking farm. Well, we will have to pay 8 AUD to pick the Cherry. It was cool as we are able to eat as much as we like in the farm. As usual, I haven't taken my breakfast. It was indeed a feast for me. We reached there kinda early, there wasn't many people around. Perfect for us to go wild around the farm.

Left: Cherry trees
Right: The fruits on the trees






After loitering in the farm for around 2 hours, we moved on to Strawberry Farm. It wasn't far away from our first destinations. However, there are a lot of people in the Strawberry farm. Guess more people like Strawberry than Cherry. Well, we again paid 8 AUD per entry and we are only allowed to bring home 500g each. It is enough for us as we do get to eat as we pluck for our own.

Seem like looking for Strawberries is not an easy task.

After we had our lunch of Strawberries as well as Cherries, we head over to Flinders. It is famous for lots of fishing fans as there are many types of fishes can be found there. The port was build and made easy for fishing as well as divers. Practically, we did not get to fish on that day as we did not get ready anything for it. However, we manage to get good pictures at the place.

On the left, we can see the port. One of the well-known fishing spot. I also heard that, Salmon can be fished here. It is all depends on the weather. Seems like fishing does require some knowledge.





After that, we went to Capestown light house. Another great place with beautiful sceneries.

One of the magnificent scene.

Few of the pictures taken around the light house. Some of my favorites.






Last and not least. We do have group pictures taken.

The group picture was divided into two. Seem like a double date? Nah, it isn't. Trust me.





Well, that is the end of the trip with all those pictures that I had taken. For the whole trip, I had taken about 300 to 400 pictures and not more than 20 seem nice. This is what we call a perfectionist. Of so many pictures, there are only a few which can be kept. However, I am still an amateur in handling the camera. I will need lots of experiences in handling it. Right now, what I have to learn is composition in picture taking. It is not easy. It can only be perfected trough experiences. Seem like, I do have some talent in this field too.

Scenes taking, objects taking, human taking and etc... They acquire different skills. It is really different from the normal digital camera that we use regularly. DSLR. It will just make you fall in love with picture taking.

Year 2009

Finally, the year 2009. I finally just woke up from my beauty sleep. Yea, it has been kinda tiring from all the activities. (Not to mentioned I was having my weights on all the time.) So far everything is good. Manage to go around Mornington again on the 30th, watch some spectacular musical fireworks in the city and also threw a small party on the first. Sleep like a pig till the 2nd. Oh yea, we even squeeze WASABI into our nose on the 1st.

Year 2009! Time really flies. It will almost be a year since I had left Malaysia. WISHING EVERYONE a very HAPPY NEW YEAR here. (^_^)

This year, it will be going to be different again. Like others would say, "A New Chapter of Our Life".
