Home Sweet Home

I’m home, yet I’m not as happy as I think I should be. Why isn’t home as sweet as it used to be? I guess a girlfriend crying when you were leaving and crying when talking to you in the night has a very large effect. Larger than one would anticipate, and I guess home is more to where your heart is. Oh well, am glad to see the lads though, and as usual, they crack me up.

Anyways, lets see how the month progresses. Hope it was worth while coming home.

Shopping Spree

Today was a wicked day. I went out shopping from 11 a.m. right till around 5 p.m. I know! I can’t believe it myself!

The whole family (me, my mum, 2 sisters and Cheryl) had a field time at Harbor Town in the city. Its supposedly the cheapest place to shop in Perth because its mostly kinda like factory outlet stores. I think after the day was done, you could not see the bottom of my car boot, due to all the plastic bags piled up. So yeah, it was a hell of a shopping day.

Well, back to me. I had a rather productive day of shopping as well. I think all together I came back with 5 plastic bags of my own. Of the things I bought are 2 t-shirts, a jumper and 2 hoodies. Ah, and of course, how can I forget, I bought my very first suit today! Its dark grayish in colour with white pin stripes. The family says it looks alittle mafia-ish and I look like im a bouncer when I wear it. Don't know if thats good, but who cares!

So today can be considered a good day, but the money that came out of my pocket or rather my dad’s pocket is still on my mind. I spent close to aud 400 just today alone. That isn’t a small amount, especially if you convert it to ringgit. That’s like Rm 1160. WOW!

And I bought some tongue studs that Nelvie asked for. I’m not gonna post the pics of your studs Nelvie, we shall let it be a surprise when I get back ;)

That's what i call a shopping spree

My new suit ;)

Wishlist

My new Nokia N-95 which was on my wishlist from last October has finally arrived with my sister from London last Saturday. Although it’s locked at the moment to the Orange network from U.K, we’re trying to get it unlocked as soon as possible. The camera is ridiculously good for a phone. I mean, the phone wasn’t as good as I expected, but the image quality from the camera really WOWED me. It’s almost better than my Kodak digital camera! So we know now which camera I would prefer using of course ;)

Here are just some pics of the phone

Friends

If you think about it, friends are something that can be considered “over-rated”. I mean come on now, ask yourself, how many friends do you have? Your answer would probably be like, uncountable? So let’s just narrow down the question and be a little more specific.

How many close friends do you have? and your answer would probably be like maybe 5-10 guys and gals?

So now ask yourself, these 5-10 peeps, do they really have your back when you’re in need? or are they for show only?

Sometimes even I do think who my close friends are and who I can actually count on? Are there some just beside me for a ride or are they really here with me for life?

Hence the reason you must always watch your back, even in the midst of your, so called close friends. I feel that sometimes, there isn’t any reason, but a friend would just not be the same anymore and would probably opt to do something seemingly brainless, which would either directly or indirectly affect the friendship one has with them.

Losing friends, I find it somewhat a cycle of friendships. Whenever you lose a close friend, you somehow find a new close friend.

I don’t know the reason, but like I said, sometimes there is no particular reason, but I feel as though I have lost a couple of friends. No reason for me to let out names, as most of the people reading this blog can be considered my “close friends”.

Oh well, I shall just look out for those new friends then aye. ;)

Is this a controversial post? I think so too, whatever you are thinking that is ;)

The Exams that was

It’s just a little recap of last week, which so happened to be my exams week. I had 3 papers all together, Marketing Communications, Public Relations Media and Marketing Research. My internal marks for all 3 weren’t that bad, I needed like 5 marks for each subject to pass. But of course I wasn’t aiming for a mere pass, but a distinction ;)

Well, the first paper is always the hardest. I was scared senseless before my Marketing Communications paper on Tuesday. To make it worst, the paper was at 6.45 p.m. I mean, shit, you gotta wait for your paper all day long, makes you think even more.

After doing the paper, I was really sad. I feel that I screwed myself right in the arsehole for this paper. If ya know what I mean. But the heck with it, it’s not like I can turn back time now can I.

Second paper was on Wednesday at 3.30 p.m. It was Public Relations Media. This paper isn’t about studying; it’s more on how you generate ideas that should be put into the media. I was rather confident entering this exam, but damn was I wrong. The paper wasn’t tough or anything, but there wasn’t enough time! I wrote the most I have ever written in an exam in my entire life! I filled the whole answer booklet! (that’s a whopping 16 pages) I was rather impressed with myself after the exam. It was also the first time I stayed right till the end in an exam ;) (I’m those kinda guy that finishes my paper in 1 hour 15 minutes tops) But yeah, I think I did quite well, if I say so myself.

The last paper was on Friday, Marketing Research. I did not at all study for this paper till after my Public Relations Media paper. So I was kinda nervous, but at the same time, I couldn’t wait to get it over with. I wanted to PARTAYYY babeh! I expected the exam to be tough, but to my surprise, it was rather easy ;) I finished in less than an hour and had to wait till 1 hour passed after the exam till I left the hall (the rules are that you can’t leave during the first hour, no idea why)

So then, it was officially over. My freaking exams that have kept me up more than once has passed me by. Intriguingly enough though, I think I had more sleep during exams than during the semester. LoL. I had like 8 hours sleep every night. ;)

New Stereo

I finally bought my stereo for my car last Saturday. Although it isn’t what exactly I wanted ( I wanted to have a amplifier and a sub-woofer installed too), It is however a start.

I haven’t installed the stuff yet, so it’s gonna be a task I want to finish before I head back for Malaysia. So let’s just see how it goes.

I paid aud 50 for my front speakers, aud 130 for my new player ( ipod compatible, so I don’t need to burn anymore cds), and aud 70 for my back speakers.

Them Shoes

You gotta love ‘em shoes. I mean I have like probably 9 or 10 pairs, and still I’m looking for more. It’s just something I can’t resist. When I see nice sneakers, I need to buy ‘em. LoL. I guess you can say it’s an addiction.

However, I do know people with much more shoes. Slow and easy mate, I’ll get there soon enough. The only problem is it’s so darn expensive to get a pair of good sneakers. Every pair I’ve seen that I’ve contemplated buying costs around aud 150-210.

Like I said, slow and easy. As soon as I get the dough, I’ll get the sneakers. Let’s just hope that it’s soon so that the sneakers won’t be sold out. ;)

Here is just a few of the shoes I’ve been admiring. So if ya seen it around, give me a yell so i can go check it out ;)
