Reason Happenings

So it’s been weeks since I last updated on this seem to be dead blog of mine. Oh well, just didn’t have the passion of writing anything up this past weeks. Don’t know if it is just me or the fact that I have to reply to over 40 other blog posts for an assignment. I would place my money on the latter. It isn’t easy replying to so many blog entries, as I’ve found out. It just gets so confusing sometimes. But it’s for 15% of my marks, so HELL YEAH I’m going to reply every one of those mofo’s post!

So over the past weeks, numerous things have happened. Some I would say good and some just plain sad. So I’ll actually categorize this post to make it easier for you peeps that actually take the time and effort to come and read my blog. It probably can be summed up in 1 hand, but hey, at least I do have people reading it right? So here goes.

The Good

- Allblacks have been kicking ass during the world cup, at least so far they have. Let’s hope they don’t choke during the semis like last world cup. They beat Italy 76-14, Portugal 108-13 and Scotland 40-0. Their last match for the group stage is Romania and seems they are gonna get 1 hell of a thrashing considering the kiwis did quite badly against Scotland and they would be raring to bounce back before the knock out stage.

- Manchester United put their 1-0 wins behind them in the EPL and scored 2-0 against Chelsea!
- I had a great mark of 35/40 for 1 of my mid term exams which I am really proud of because I beat Cheryl! (It seldom happens you see, so yeah!)

- I managed to hit my mark. This refers to my gambling at the sino. I was aiming to win around 1200aud before I head back home but as it is I’m already at 1325aud with 2 months to spare! So let’s see if I can go 1500 or maybe 1700? Then it will be time to partaayyYyy back home!

- We got a new dog at home. His name at is Neyo after the singer Ne-Yo. It’s a male white Shih Tzu with grey ears. A kick dog, but nonetheless very cute indeed.

- I got a new pair of limited edition shoes. It’s by Adidas and it got graffiti designs on it. So I’m pretty happy with it.

- Went for a nice meal at Crème for Cheryl’s birthday and had a small gathering at our place. Wasn’t bad, although her present almost made me go broke!


The Sad (or Bad, whichever you want to call it.)

- Manchester United came crashing out of the Carling Cup to Coventry City. The young lads at United really need to buckle up!

- Spring break is just about over and I’m still in holiday mood!

- Bailey our dog passed away last Friday after getting hit by a car the night before. He went to an animal hospital and they really did not help at all. Friday morning they told us that Bailey was stable but in fact, his left lung had completely collapsed and his right lung was severely injured. But they told that he only needed his hip to be put back in place after the accident dislocated it. But when we went to a different animal hospital after being told we should by Bailey's regular vet, thats when they told us what was really going on. The cost to actually help heal his lung was really big and that wouldn’t even be a 100% cure solution and Bailey was really in pain. So we decided to euthanize Bailey for his own good. It was a rather sad day.


So that kinda sums up what has been happening for the past couple of weeks. But the more interesting story is posted at Nelvie’s blog. Young and Dangerous VIII: LDP Brawl. HAHAHA!

Winning Start

The Rugby World Cup just started last Friday and the Allblacks are already off to a winning start. They thrashed Italy 76-14. But the Italians had it coming, they were asking to be thrashed. They didn't face the Hakka and it was somewhat considered disrecpectful. So yeah! Three cheers for the Allblacks thrashing Italy!
.
Other results for the tournament's top seeds include, Springboks edging Samoa 59-7, England with a bad win over USA 28-10, France losing to Argentina 12-17 and Australia thrashing Japan 91-3.
.
Lets just hope the Allblacks keep up their good work and don't choke like they did last world cup. GO ALLBLACKS!
.
p/s. I bought the Allblacks world cup jersey a couple of weeks back for 140 aud. Quite expensive =/

Mid Semester Break

Mid Semester break wasn’t too long ago. It was however, rather short. I mean, 7 days? that’s waaaayyy too short! Anyway, it wasn’t such a bad one considering my eyes and all. Did a lot of chilling out with friends, a norm back home but not here I assure you. So the week wasn’t a too boring one, but it wasn’t really eventful either. We did however make a day trip down south to Mandurah. I know I know, I seem to be going to Mandurah a lot these days. It wasn’t my idea anyway! It was Don’s and Jean’s idea to go there. Six of us went in two cars. Cheryl, Yin Kong, Jean, Donovan, Grace and myself. Had the usual Cicirello’s for lunch, chilled out at Dome by the docks and headed to the beach before coming back home.

At Cicirello’s, Grace and Jean went way overboard in ordering their food. So everyone kinda chipped in to help them finish and we all got stuffed! Is it a Malaysian thingy? To order much more then you can actually eat? ‘Cause most of my Malaysian friends does it. Guess we Malaysians like to bite off more than we can chew huh?

The beach was perfect for swimming, sadly however, we weren’t prepared to swim. The waves were amazingly huge it crashing onto the shore just tempted us more to go swimming, but we fought our temptation and just chilled at the beach. Yin Kong as usual did some kind of “master piece” he so loves to do. Didn’t see him do those kinda things in awhile though, so I guess he had great fun doing it!
LOL.

The girls were busy cam whoring as usual, but the surprising thing is, Donovan was really into cam whoring as well. I over heard him say to the girls, “take picture of me, take picture of me, here looks nice! faster! faster!”. So yeahhhhhh… we know who likes to take pictures a little too much. Later in the evening we took a slow drive back north. So the day was tiring considering I was driving with one eye. Came back and crashed immediately.
