Where Do You Turn, When You Can't Buy It

Wokay... its time for the post mortem of the recent Singapore trip. More like annual trip. First and foremost, I need to say that.. this is my 3rd year, traveling down south for Zoukout. Based on the past 2 years, it gets better every year. I was hoping the same could be said, for this year. Furthermore it was Above & Beyond. My ultimate favourite DJs. Well.. I'll tell u later on, what my verdict is.hehe.

Alright! first up, we began....from the night before? The Penang gang came down to KL a night before which was, Friday. Hung out around Pyramid, had Korean BBQ for dinner, and then to Sid's Pub, for Snake Bite! I think I might have had a LITTLE too much, swallowed the foam at the end, and threw up half of my last pint. Went back home, and continued a little bit more. Woke up the next day with a bloody hang over coz I forgot to drink water before falling asleep. Rendavous point was at Centrepoint McDonalds, for breakfast. I had...Porridge...yuck. And so, by 10.30am, we were off!

Arrived, late evening,checked in, forced myself for a 15mins power nap, dress up, rushed, stressed and carls jr. But, all is good, the moment we entered! The attendance of the night, was incredible. This years event was amazing just by having the company by itself!!

Melbourne picture! of all the people that are and have been to Melb! =) Of course, we're missing out the usual few goats...Wish u were here, guys.

Oh, our 1 year anniversary! Time flies. I reckon I lost weight compared to last year...haha err.. cant say the same for the one next to me tho. hehehehe =p

Our FiRst Zoukout! No.52345345 Sharp photo. This one in particular, is a cooool photo.Good job, squirrel!

Ms. Dubai. Who... SADLY missed A&B by half an hour! hahaha.

Raining Trio! We're still missing you, Slinky! You're always with us. Sorry bout the..slightly evil expression.hehehe

The 2 who made my night..... Jono and Tony... We miss you, Paavo! Guess, no one needs to guess how I felt that night now, right? In short, no words could express how I felt. Song after song, it was like a big tidal wave, hitting me, one after another. Breath taking! And not to mention, I was close to tears AGAIN. Up till now, if anyone asks me what I thought about the night, all I can do is let out this... sigh.. with a big smile. Thats what you call, a satisfying smile! =)


On Monday evening, as we bid our goodbyes to our very nice neighbouring country, we travelled back to Melaka, for dinner! Satay celup!

It was good! albeit my stomach not being in the best conditions. Another memorable trip to wrap up this year. Maybe its because more than half the entourage this year were the same from last years. It kinda makes everyone feel so....i dont know... bonded? Its like everything we did, we think about what happened exactly a year ago, and we wished everyone happy anniversary. Ahh ok... I dont know what I'm mumbling about here, all I wanna say is that, its been a good year all in all, I guess. With the new friends and all. Well... thats gonna go into the next post. A reflection post. =) till then.....


What can you believe in now
With no love to follow?
Now that you have lost yourself
Oh, can anything help you now?

Just let your fears go
You might find your way back home
Let your fears go
You might find that you’re not lost

The Night Is Young

Its been 5 months since I first left KL for Melbourne. And in that months, I've seen and I feel, I've done quite alot. Which explains why time flies by so quickly. I'm gonna take this moment to recall what I've done and seen over the past months. WARNING!! If you are on quota, I suggest that you are sure you have enough.hehe.

SO.... In the first WEEK that I arrived in Melbourne, I visited this place called Bubbles.

Obviously, something very out of the ordinary for me. It was not too bad, just no my kinda thing. =)

Then the good news came. In August, they were gonna start trance nights on a weekly basis.

It was called Infinity and it was held at Queens Bridge Hotel (QBH) and I have no idea...if its really a hotel or not.hahaha. Well, anyways, our joy was short-lived. It closed down after just 4 short weeks, due to fights that led to 2 deaths. Oh well.. it was good while it lasted.

We also had several visitors coming over to Melbourne both for work and leisure. First one came in a form of...an old man who is... young at heart.hehehe Uncle Fono.. Cant recall if I took pictures =p (sorry kor!)

The came miss Ng, who swapped flights with other ppl to come visit me. Chapel Street is EviL, no?

Then it was shannie's 21st bday dinner. I think people who lives in the suburb has alot of friends... maybe the further you stay the more friends you'll have. Frankston's quite far right? ehehehe

And then after her dinner, we went for drinks at this bar that closes late, little did I know, shannie cooked up a lil plan for me. I was surprised and touched. Thank you people!

Not too long after that, Eugene the Lamer came over as well, for 2 weeks. In that 2 weeks, there was alcohol almost every single day.

It was also to celebrate all 3 of our birthdays. September babies yo!

We celebrated at Seven, and I was never so FuCKed, in my LIFE! Really drank my brains out.

During the same time, we went on a road trip as well. To Mt. Dandenong! Stopped by midway to check out the tulips, as they say, during that time, flowers would be nicely bloomed. Well, the girls got pretty excited bout it. But flowers, are just flowers.Oh well...

And up to the peak we went...beautiful scenery...good weather...

Group picture....

Oct 4th 2008, Godskitchen!

We survived Godskitchen! If i'm not mistaken, we were there for 9 hours. Event ended at 7am and we walked 15minutes or so to the nearest train station. That was the hardest 15 minutes of my LIFE! at 7 Degress wearing shorts and polo shirt. We are the champions!

After Godskitchen, there were no events left and we were back at Seven on bored, quiet weekends.

this one, was for Melbourne Cup. Theme night, something like that. Should have seen me in a suit! hehehe..hmm... there is another event....Halloween... which I choose not to post it up,coz every idiot has had a good laugh at it! no no... moving along.....

And then November came. We had MORE visitors!

3 little monkeys came for Global Gathering, 22 November 2008

We went on another road trip. this time. Phillip Island. Also added to this trip is another visitor from NEWCASTLE. So we had, 2 Williams, A squirrel and a Panda.


That was all good fun. And with the end of that trip, it was also time for me to go home. So yes. I'm home. I have been for a week. hehe. So yeah.. that was a very long way of saying that I'm back. I'm missing the good old Malaysian FOOD. So lets go EAT! =)

Delusion in Both Worlds

My internet quota burst and my speed was capped... therefore using the internet was pretty much a pain in the ass, so... dont blame me for all the updates being wayy behind. I seem to have alot that I want to say... but lets just get over one thing at a time. I know I'm like... close to 2 weeks late on this.. but hey, better late than never? 

So.. here's my dedication to a buddy of mine......William "WUSSY THE PUSSY" Loh...
To my "attractive" friend who is... not
....always so "attractive"

BUTtt still have alot of "flies" because he is the "shit"

Maybe its you being a guy, that I cant seem to have anything nice to say about you.hahahaha.  OR maybe its something about you being like half a girl that makes me feel like I should be saying nice things. But fact is still fact, and saying it would sound really gay. But I'll just jot down some stuff and try to minimize the gay part.

For the 3 years of friendship that we've had, for all the hundreds of crazy things we've done in that duration, for the thousands of memories that we've created and for the million more days or months or even years [if life allows] to come, every birthday and yearly celebrations serves as a moment to reflect and remember all the small things and milestones that we've all been through. And this year, I'd like to take it slow for a moment and thank these 3 years for they have been truly great. In 22 years of my life, and in all honestly, I've never felt the significant change a person has onto me. Therefore, for all the lessons, the trust, the advices and new directions sparked during this course of collision, I'm here to thank you personally and this post is as much of a celebration of your life and as obvious as it is, a sign of gratitude from me, acknowledging all that you've done for me, directly or indirectly. SO.......
while you may not be superman..or... the GOd of all things...and you do not benefit me, material wise....I'm QUITE happy with you.. just being who you are....[except for being late...procrastinate...being a woman......blablabla =D]
Happy [belated] 23rd birthday, my friend....

One third of Raining Trio, you WILL get your celebration from us one way or another..... when we see you. haha

Hope you'll have a great birthday....wish I was there to be a part of the celebration. But its ok... I'll be seeing you VERY soon. =) Till then, you be good and take care of yourself.

Another day turns into night

So...I finally handed in my Major Project proposal on Friday and...70% of the weight were off my shoulders. I have a lil bit of time before continuing on my next assignment. Need to get more sleep. I have been having a mild insomnia...probably due to the lack of sleep while I was rushing for that assignment. In 40 hours, I've only slept for about 2 hours, no kidding. But I think the record was higher, back in LUCT days. And because I'm stayin awake for so many hours, its making my mind wonder again. Its like an animal that broke out of a cage. Its crazzzzyyy! Well anyways, had some.....retail therapy today. haha. Ok, I'm not shopping because I'm emo. The exchange rate dropped! What a  great time to be buying all the things that I've wanted now!

Take me away

Tears I cried
Kept them all inside
I needed time
To make up my mind
[To make up my mind]

When You Could Give So Much More

Woot! I've finally gotten my present!!!

Its called Melbourne Dunk!. Been waiting for it for awhile, ever since Andrew poisoned me sometime last month. Just picked it up today, all the way from Chadstone. All that traveling is worth it! as they still had this last piece of that size. Ok, let me tell you the miraculous story of my dunk and me. I arrived at the mall at around 1 something in the afternoon, entered the shop and asked for the shoe. The dude asked for my size and I said "7 or 7.5". He said he had one last 7.5 left. As I was trying it on, he was telling me that actually, that pair has been booked, by someone else, but he was late to return to the shop so he gave it to me instead! There were only 3 pairs of shoes left in then, the 7.5, 10.5 and 11. I couldnt even be bothered about thinking twice. All the way there, and the shoe fits, PAY! Furthermore, the exchange rate has gone down abit, so that makes the shoe even more worth it! I'm so happy now, I cant take it off to go to bed.

So, there you go. As requested by Panda neekee. Dont bomb my house. I've blogged bout it.

hehe

LOVING IT!!!!

Its really comfortable. REALLY!!! And the bluesss... its got this spell on me. LOVE IT! =) Never been more happy with a purchase I think? I mean, not that I dont love my other shoes, but this is love at first....try.kekeke. Alright ppl, hope you enjoyed...looking at my shoes as much...or half as much as I love putting it on. hehehe. Nights!
