Another Year Gone

So it has been awhile since I last blogged. Guess everyone’s speculation was right after all, that I wouldn’t blog once I’m home. But at least I am now right? Anyway, December was hell of a hectic month. It started off with the little one night trip to Singapore for Zouk Out. We had a blast at the rave and that’s pretty much all I can say. Hehe! I’ll post some pictures up once I get back to Australia.

Next in line was my little birthday gathering at Somo. Had a good time there too with some playing card games and the others just chilling and smacking drinks while chit chatting. It has been quite awhile since we all actually had the chance to just talk and laugh before that, so it was rather fun to say the least and it just reminded me of old times. Pictures of that outing will also be posted only once I get back to Australia.

The third event of the month was the major one. Tania and Allan’s wedding. It was a little hectic however the night part was stunningly fun. I drank a wee bit more than I was supposed to, so I was rather tipsy. Not drunk mind you, just tipsy. The dancing through the night, drinking on the rocks and shouting “yam seng”, all summed up to me going upstairs and having to puke. Another thing that I haven’t done in a long while, drinking until having to puke.

Yada Yada Yada, and it was time to break the new year. I haven’t even had enough of 2007 and it’s already 2008. Damn time flies! At this point, I still haven’t figured out or made up any new year’s resolution. I’ll have to put some thought into that a little later on. Didn’t do much for new year, just went to Sunway to watch fireworks with friends. Pictures, again, later!

Went for basketball the other day and had a present courtesy of one of the players at the court. A black eye. He hit my cheek with his elbow and it ended up becoming swollen and blue black. So yeah, I look like I just got out of a fight right now with my black eye and all.

I can feel time flying as my holidays draw closer to an end. I feel sad in some ways, yet I feel that maybe it is time to start classes. I do know however that once the assignment starts piling up, I would wish that I could just chill and bum around the house like I’m doing now. Oh well, men, we’re never satisfied. When we’re bored, we want to go to uni. When there are a lot of assignments, we want holidays! Haha! Anyway, bed time now.

Oh and I know it is rather late but, Happy New Year everyone!

At Last

So at long last, I’m home and hoping to start enjoying my three months holiday. It always flies so fast that I won’t even notice I had such a lengthy break. Anyway the first three days haven’t been anything special just good to be home I guess.

However, I don’t know why, but every time I come back, I feel things have changed. I guess coming back every four and a half months have something to do with it, seeing that I am not in synched with everyone yet, or at least I feel. Or maybe it just has something to do with expecting too much. You know? Like my expectations was too high for coming home. Guess I’ll try not to expect too much next time around ;)

Anyway, there is still a long more time ahead of me, so let the enjoyments begin!

I was really looking forward to next year with the thought that there was a probability that Andrew might be joining me and Yin Kong in Australia, but it seems he isn’t anymore. So that sucks! Anyway I am looking forward to working next semester and earning some extra money to spend. Although I’ve been spending a lot without working, but this time it would be hard earned money! (Technically speaking, my winnings from the casino should also be considered my hard earned money. Wouldn’t you say so?)

Anyway, basketball yesterday wasn’t good. Although we won all our games, I still feel I played badly. I missed some of my ‘bread and butter’ shots that normally don’t happen. Guess it’s time to start practicing a little more. Rumor also has it that a couple of people are going to the gym for a special occasion (Zouk Out) but obviously their names should not be mentioned and obviously they would deny it. I was thinking about Zouk Out and I’m excited in certain aspects of it but I’m lazier than anything else. You know how this kinda thing is. There would be a massive crowd just pushing and shoving each other. Hope it isn’t like that though, although I highly doubt it.

Oh well, we’ll just have to wait and see won’t we?

Exam Fever

For the first time in my entire studying life, I’m actually dreading my exam is not sooner that is already is. I don’t know why but I’m just in too much of a holiday mood that I’m not exactly studying for it either. Just want it to finish and be off my back. I want to be ushering the summer holidays now rather than be preparing for my finals. I don’t think I’m over confident because I’m pretty much not prepared. This feeling suck! I can’t even concentrate on studies without thinking of the holidays. Summer holidays is two days away and its already playing on my mind, and I guess the summer weather outside just emphasizes the fact that summer is here!

Can’t wait for summer holidays cause I know this year is gonna be one hell of a summer holiday. Or at least I hope. Should not put my hopes too high or it might come down crumbling. Anyhow, better get back hitting the books or I’ll regret it later.

Crunch Time

So, it’s that time of every semester again, and no, I don’t mean the part where you have loads of fun and shyt. Its crunch time. Time to hit the books and hit ‘em hard. Don’t want to go into the exam realizing that I don’t know nuts about the subject, not that I have done that before but I do know of people who have and yet come out on top, but that’s a different story for a different day.

Today is all about psyching me up for those lovely books, but in my case, it’s just a single 700 over page text book. A book written by Subhash C. Jain. A book that I’ve been referring to all semester while doing the unit’s work. A book which in my opinion, doesn’t make sense sometimes.

So much for that, in less than 3 minutes, I’m already thinking about going to the casino tonight.

Boring Australia

So Raya was celebrated back home and hell I missed all the fun. No, I’m not an Islam, but it is still a time to be in the festive mood, am I not right? All the “pasar malam” thingy near my house, having free coconuts (hahaha!), and the obvious, Holidays!

Oh well, still had a pretty awesome weekend. Went for a trip to Mandurah AGAIN! I know I know, it seems its like the only place I visit around here. Family chose to go there so who am I to refuse right? Yin Kong tagged along for the trip as well. We stayed at a house by the canal and it was like a dream home and a perfect place for parties! So dude, we shall throw a party there when all of you guys are here. I’m sure it will be extremely remarkable!

Anyway, Mandurah was the same. Went paddle boat-ing with a faulty paddle boat that went in circles. So, just basically made ourselves tired for no reason. Played some poker and lost to Yin Kong and Allan. (luckily we weren’t playing money) I’m thinking I’m pretty bad at poker, considering I lost to 2 people that attended reckless 101 classes! HAHA!

Came back on Sunday and after a short rest, immediately hit the casino. It’s a weekly virtual you see, so my week would not have been complete without stepping foot in the sino and placing my bet on a blackjack table pot. I had a great run that night, winning 450 aud. More money to spend back home. So that 1.8k so far. Yum Yum!

On a different note, I’ve been thinking bout my 21st birthday and I can’t exactly decide what to do. Anyone has any suggestions? Really am confused on what I want to do. So yeah, try help me out on this one peeps.

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 =/
