Location: Comp Room, Howitt Hall, Clayton
Time: 7:51pm.

UBER STUPID LLOOORRRHHHH.

finally bought my first ipod, and I bought the wrong one. DUMB.

anyways, yes. To whom it may concern, I didn't ask coz I think I already know the answer. And I rather not know the answer from you, hence the not asking part...

lol. I'm talking in riddles.

but yea, maybe it's all the packing. maybe it's the weather... I'm tired.

"I want something else, to get me through this, semi-charmed kinda life..."

p/s: owh, there's this Indo-Fijian couples who walked into AP today... and I know it might be really inappropriate but... I really wanna ask, do you feel discriminated as an Indian in Fiji? and regardless the answer, I'm gona reply: "I understand, that's how I feel too... living in a place that you grew up and love but hating so much about the way people fought over it like it's a piece of meat"

How degrading.

Location: How5!, Clayton.
Time: 10:34pm.

这算是什么?
一次又一次，我的想象力带我离开了现实世界...
是时候该醒醒了。它, 是永远也不会发生的...
该醒醒了.
非常感谢你给我带来的欢乐,
但你对我的伤害依然存在...
我真的受不了了.
我只能说的是，我使终只是个女生。

True Love, Kills?

Location: Basement, Howitt Hall, Clayton.
Time: 5:23am.

been in the basement too much, for all the wrong reasons. namely, not drinking. We're here that often coz one of Howitt Hall's 2 precious aircons is conveniently located here. lol.

the weather's sizzling hawt in the past couple of days... and apparently, it's gona be like that throughout the week. GREAT last week we have... leaving Australia all sweaty, freeze my arse off in LDN, then being boiled in malaysian weather.

Yea, I rationally made my 2nd most impetuous purchase decision that involved more than 100 aud in like... less than a day. and yesh, it still hurts my heart when I think about it... afterall, practicality triumphs heartache. Plus, I really do need it after my iriver died on me. BUTTTT.. it... is... so... expensive...

=~~ (

owh yea.. I read this... and hmm...

If this is true love, then I don't want it...
http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/11/9/nation/20091109190254&sec=nation

I don't want Candy =p
and NO Wai Chien and Kane, Candy doesn't mean THAT.

Classification

Location: Comp Lab, Howitt Hall, Clayton.
Time: 12:59am.

Classification is overrated.

Why would you wanna flip over an omelette when you can have a sunny side up?

... even though frying the egg both side or scrambled eggs might taste different, or even better...

Regardless, frying the egg both sides and scrambling eggs will take a much longer time. Time that I don't have... So I guess I'll just savour my sunny side up as it is? It's not that bad afterall...

Well, by the looks of it, my streak of bad luck has been carried forward from last week. I was greeted by a frantic looking Debbie when I went up to 10th Floor for dinner today, and the first words that came outa her mouth was "Where's my bowls?". I feel so bad for losing other people's stuff... and the worse part was I lost it in her floor...

anyways, ONE WEEK LEFT.

=~~ (

p/s: Iggy, Happy 21st bday! Hope you enjoyed that awesome partay we threw u~ Sorry about the visuals though... atleast we enjoyed it =) and yea, as your dear dear friends, We were concern about your bowel movements (or lack of bowel movements)... so... KANE came up with a brilliant idea about spiking, erm, I mean baking you special cookie, using regular ingredients like milk, flour and lots of LOVE, on the side of some laxatives.

yesh, I know u're grateful. thank us later if you want =)

pp/s: anyone wanna watch Time Traveller's Wife??????

What a day =(

Location: Basement of Howitt Hall, Clayton.
Time: 11:12pm.

Today's Murphy's day.

I had my first paper today... CRI 2008.

long story short.

today ended with two heavy eye bags as we didn't really sleep yesterday night, a pc that I can't log in to using my own account... ended up logging in the guest account, a camera smelling like Mother, a phone on the fritz...

basically anything that might go wrong... went wrong.

Think I didn't do that well on my test either.

haiz...

well on the bright side, I have good friends that helped me pull through... thanks ya.


p/s: yea... if not for Kane I would have forgotten about the few unfortunate ass-cracks encounters in Coles... then there's this Rashaam inspired boob-peep incident in Mamaduke... today... is crazy man...

Hang in There!

Location: How5!, Clayton.

Time: 4:08pm.

Not normally a cat person but...

hang on there buddy...

from now on, there's no turning back!

Yasmin Ahmad's Funeral

Location: How5!, Clayton.

Time: 8:59am.

Beautiful imperfections.

How ironic that this is vid was themed funeral.

May she rest in peace...

Misty Morning.

Location: Comp Room, Howitt.
Time: 5:58am

My brain is so stuck... It's non fiction... I used to be good in making up stuff... COMON woman.. think.......

anyway... This is the 4th time this week that I've watched the sunrise. But I'm not gona bitch about it today because I'm actually happy about being here at this specific moment...

...Why you asked? To understand my odd contentment, I'll have to bring you back to yesterday morning.

these pics were taken from the 10th floor of Howitt.

I slept at around 7-ish, after checking all the vids on DC++ yet again, just in case I missed anything... and woke up with the blankets on the floor when I got my Brandon Park call at around 10-ish. The weather was so eff-ing hot... it's even hotter than Malaysia, more specifically, KL's weather yesterday. KL was around 27 degrees but it was around 32 degrees Celsius in Melbourne.
... Holy...

It almost felt like I'm having menopause or something. And I was told that this is not the hottest that Melbourne can get... how DID people survive the weather without the invention of AIRCON?!


Which brings me back to now.

I spent the whole day trying to get started with my work... but ended up Family Guy-ing and Will and Grace-ing (and btw, the 100th episode was farny... as usual. and I just realized that Seth MacFarlane is the voice behind both Peter and Stewie...). Because the weather is SO THE HOT!

Then I realise what I should have weeks ago... There's an AIRCON in the study room... lol... I can hear the bells chime when I step foot in the studyroom... sanctuary indeed. I rather freeze than to live in a hot climate. and yea... duno why the sky's really misty. It didn't rain. It wasn't cold last night. Hell, outside's not even cold right now. The weather man (As in the person controlling the weather) must be high right now...


feel so bad to have to on the aircon back home... I'll try to tune myself back when I go home for the hols...

and yea, to whom it may concern,

Like I said, revenge is a dish best served cold.

please remember to lock your doors,
sleep with your eyes open and don't hold your breath =)

Weather Report Again.

Location: Comp Room, Howitt.

Time: 3:33am.


It actually feels good to have a long long post-dinner chat again with Ben, Kane and Davyn. talking about anything and everything under the moon... Haven't been doing this for a really long time and we had to find the most inappropriate time to do stuff like these... by inappropriate I meant days before exams and time I meant from 11-2ish, 3am. I guess the whole fun of this is not make it a routine? spontaneity does contribute in making these talking sessions hard to come by... especially these days without Chieh Ai, Gracia, Iggy and Zax around... Although it's been quite some time since they moved out, the unusual attachment still persist.


Maybe it's coz we're in Australia or maybe it's the magic of Howitt Hall... it's hard to get a groups of individuals as crazily different as such that speak the same language in similar frequencies.


Anyway, I realized yesterday that I will be leaving in 2 weeks, and one month from now, I'll be home in Ipoh.


TWO freaking weeks man... like... seriously... It feels... surreal. It's not like staying in Condo... It's impossible to hop on a bus and get there in less than 2 hours... I can't do what I did on holding on to the apartment as long as I could. plus, I've never actually grown so attached to someone, let alone a whole group of people, other than my pig... Even with pig, we are fully aware that we are both functioning individuals leading different lives... we don't eat together, study together, play sports and stuff...


Maybe I should start the whole process of withdrawal so that I don't have to go through that later?


Getting too used to having them around might not be too healthy for me... hmmm... I don't know what I'm rambling on about... what intitally inspired me to blog was the crazy weather that started with a warm morning, followed by a windy afternoon, and again, warm (near malaysian's weather) evening. Then out of a sudden, a huge ass storm which was accompanied by hails, which also appeared out of nowhere around 10 at night... With a grand finale of a clear dark sky, and a bright, dark yellow moon hanging on top of Farrer Hall at 3 in the morning...



Seriously, melbourne's weather is crazy man...

- or it's just Iggy's sudden act of kindness today that startled *apparently* not only Kane and I, the weather was surprised tooo... hence the acting out... - lol, we're not complaining Iggy... thanks for the messages, sandwiches and OJs. we were just a little... surprised, that's all. lol.

- I took this before the batteries died on me,

during our 'talk' on tenth floor's kitchen -

yes, I do take pics of myself when u guys weren't looking. lol.

p/s: I am feeling so lonely without my weekly doses of Glee, How I Met Your Mother, Grey's Anatomy, Dexter, 30 Rock, American Dad, Eastwick, Dirty Sexy Money, Eli Stone, House, Psych, Big Bang Theory and the Mentalist... Luckily there was Greek and NCIS to get me by... Seeing the desperateness of my situation, I might even start watching Vampire Diaries... YER... and yea, do you think that I should get a hair cut?

Annoying song.

Location: Matheson Lib, Clayton.
Time: 6:36pm.

OMGGG... Starstruck by 3OH!3 is officially bugging me.

The more I try to run away from it the more I hear it on the radio. Like seriously...

I don't hate the WHOLE song, just this particular verse of the song...

Tight jeans, double d's makin' me go (whistles),
All the people on the street know (whistles),
Iced out, lit-up make the kids go (whistles),
All the people on the street know (whistles),

... annoying. The sad part is, I actually quite like the rhythm. The whole whistling part just make this song unbearable.

sundays.

Location: How5!
Time: 3:22pm.

Owh my blue and yellow carriage...

... Whisk me away to Pinewood...

... Yesh, that's as exciting as my life gets these days... haiz....

out with the locust, in with the mice...

Location: Matheson Lib, Clayton
Time: 10:45pm

I couldn't stop laughing when I read this...

so, after the 1992 election in Fiji, Rabuka made his submission to Ganilau (the son to the very GG that he didn't NOT help in ousting in 1987...) suggested to import Chinese labor to work on cane farms vacated by Indo-Fijians tenant farmers (Indo-Fijians are basically second generation onwards of Indians labors brought in by the Brits in 1887, borned in Fiji...) -- (Brij V. Lal, 1992, p.318)

The whole point of 1987 coups was because of the Indians in Fiji coming into power... now they want to bring in the Chinese? What makes him think that the Chinese will be politically impartial? .... It just shows how greed for power can vacillate someone's rational thoughts.

*updated@ 11:10pm*

ZOMG... it's not bad enough that M'sia 'improved' their own country by ethnic "categorization"... they even INFLUENCED Fiji in excluding the minorities (or rather, non-majorities. Can't actually call them minorities coz as a collective, they constitute more than 40 percent of Fiji's population).

read this:
"Indo-Fijians were to be completely excluded from participation in national politics. Following the Malaysian example, the council wanted Fijians to be given fixed shares in all business ventures in the country...".

(Lal, 1992, p.288)

and this is just the economic sector.

wow, the son's outdone the daddy! Well atleast the Son's an authentic first settler in Fiji since more than 3500 years ago... unlike the daddy... *ahem*.... claimed... *ahem* ...self-proclaimed... hmm...

Come Out and Play...

Location: ECMS, Clayton
Time: 2:15pm.

yesh, now I'm invading here during daytime now...

I don't know what's wrong with me. My brain's so scattered... whenever I sit down to think... to work... My brain flies away... hmm...

and I can't stop using the word 'play' in my essays.

"the ideas of Vanua, Lotu, and Matanitu played important roles within the Fijian communities..."

"Rabuka played on the ideas of ethnonationalism while combining Christianity to resonate the fears and insecurity among the indigenous Fijians..."

What's with that man?!! Is my brain trying to subliminally request a day off to play????

my gawd... the assignments are killing me...



p/s: Happy belated to bday Ben Ben, Amanda, Sook Zane, and Khuang Han... you peeeps are OLD~~ what are the odds of being born on the same day huh?

pp/s: never knew reading NF books can be fun until Brij V. Lal's Broken Waves.

I didn't realize how much I enjoyed the book until I realize how much I enjoyed the book.

... hehe. don't you just feel like smacking me after reading that redundant line which I repeated to make a point... again... redundant... hehe....

My Standing Ovation

Location: Matheson Lib, Clayton.
Time: 10:21am

OMG, embarassing.

I walked out of R3 around 15 minutes ago with an amorous ovation from the crowd I hardly knew... wishing I have a bigger-er (coz I already have a comfortably big) hoodie, so that I can bury my head deep inside the deep hoodie, along with my embarasssment...

As usual, global indigeneity's class's on thursday, in Rotunda, R3. but today's just a little off... there's just something different, for some reason. Maybe it was Kane's bbday celebration yesterday night. anyways, I came into the Post Office early today coz Toan (the manager/boss/LPO) wanted to go and pick up his sis from somewhere...

I'm not a morning person, so naturally... everything is still a little hazy now....

I rushed off from the Post Office thinking I have this class.. I braved the wind and rain, and couldn't believe that I didn't bring an umbrella..... not exactly drenched but wet enough, I walked into the classroom, all the while thinking I'm 15 minutes late.

I opened the door... as usual, I would just lower my head... quickly spot the nearest empty spot and plant my ass on it. But my spidey receptors were sending weird vibes that I couldn't really comprehend at that particular moment.

Coz there's this guy who looked like my lecturer/unite coordinator Matt and this random dude giving the lecture. Well, it's not such a weird thing as we DO have guest lecturers who came in throughout the sem...

It first came to me when I didn't see Osmond or Chien Aun in the class.... Then it struck me that the guy who looked like Matt, is NOT Matt... like. WHOA... WAIT A MINUTE!

I looked at the class. muttered: "right..." with my pointy finger gesture acknowledging my stupidness and trying to use humor to cover my embarassment...........

So I left the class knowing that I brightened their boring lecture. I AM Soooo Important.... lol.

As I was leaving R3, I even heard someone shouting "Thanks for coming..." and waves of claps... for me.... as if thanking me for my awesomeness and coolness that radiates within me... yes.... it's what I tell myself to not make me look so bad.... lol.

anyways, I think it's the alcohol residuel from yesterday night, even though I didn't drink any... anyways... I do act like this even when I'm sober.... hmmm....


p/s: owh yea... Happy bday Kane. U're finally so eff-ing old =p and please stop reading my blog and using it to laugh at me...
