[ kevin spacey ] beyond the sea
Initially I planned to bring Rabbit for PuffingBilly ride but Rabbit seemed more into shopping at Brunswick Street so we changed the plans instead... Had big breakfast at one of the Corner Cafe (need to ask Rabbit what's the name of it) at Brunswick Street before checking out the shops.
Well, she bought some stuff for her friends and family of course... and guess what i found?? ...A very cool pants that I've always wanted for a loooooooooong long time... A timeless design... Unique cut that fits perfectly (perhaps 1/2 inch too long but that can be easily fixed)... BUT the price tag is also very very EYE-POPPING!!!
Hmmm... I hesitated a little after seeing the price tag, but I knew I would regret if I don't get it... and yes, it is now sitting in my wardrobe calling out my name to wear it one fine day!!! ...heeeeee... (And this was the Highlight of my day!)
We continue our shopping spree at DFO @ Spencer Street where Rabbit bought a very very beautiful bag for her friend Luyi... and she also bought some very pretty chocolates for her friends/colleagues before we headed to Cuckoo Restaurant to feed our tummy...
As usual, I got lost driving to Cuckoo (getting lost has became a norm to me!!)... Anyway, I was a little disappointed that they didn't performed the song "Edelweiss", instead a Tom Jone's wanna-be sang a few songs... but the usual audience interacting performance were still pretty funny and entertaining as usual, especially the yodeling part (but this time round, there's a few didn't play along which was a pity!!)... I reckon the most funniest show was during the Sydney gang came for visit last year as it was hilarious!! ...
On our way back to Melb, we went into Xchange (Commercial Road) to watch the gays and show... We missed out the start but still managed to check out the hot bodies of the background dancers... Ma Ma Miaa... Fit Fit!! ...and the Queens has the perfect-10 legs not many female could even compete!! ...Anyway, I could not stop coughing and felt that my lung was badly harm for being in there 30-40mins or so... The smoke was terrible... No clubbing for me anymore!!!

Had a great night sleep at Sovereign Hill Lodge... Not sure if I snored... Anyway, check out this photo which we initially wanted to do... Ain't Asian looks funny dressed up like this? ...heeeee... Well, we made an appointment at Sovereign Hill yesterday to dress up and take these photos at 1130am but we realised that by the time they have developed the photos, it might be late in the afternoon!? ...and we didn't wanna spend more time at Sovereign Hill cos we have seen enough...
So we decided to check out the town centre of Ballarat as Rabbit also wanna get some postcards... Ballarat town centre has lotsa old buildings... We found a place to have big lunch before headed to our next destination - Kryal Castle...
It was such a warm day and there's so many flies... I hate flies!!! ...Anyway, Kryal Castle is a medieval Castle that offers "activities including medieval re-enactments, magic shows and Live birds of prey displays. Other presentations include costumes of the World, the largest display of arms and armour in the Southern Hemisphere, Medical Museum, giant maze, chapel ,torture chamber dungeons, comical graveyard, Magna Carta and more"...
Since we missed out the chance to dress up at Sovereign Hill earlier, we couldn't let go of another chance to dress up in mediaval costumes especially seeing so many visitors dressed up and walked around in the castles as noble ladies, the King and his armed guards...
Rabbit dressed up as the Queen, and she found her very good looking and very brave King-to-be in the castle!!! ...And I dressed up as a flower maid (which kinda look like a bride though cos all in white?) and I was rescued by the shining amour hero from the evil Queen (ah-hahahahhhaa!!!)....We had fun dressing up and that's absolutely the highlight of the day... kekekeke....
Anyway, we then came back to Melb and walk around at Williamstown before we headed to Brunswick Street for dinner at Cherry Lounge... It was Friday night and everyone was out for partying/dining... We then headed to Lygon Street for another walk before wethe night ends... (and Rabbit drooled over all the pretty desserts at Brunetti)...

Could not remember if we had breakfast before heading to Daylesford. And I also forgot to bring the address of the Lake House as I made reservation since Rabbit is crazy over The Lake House (which her handsome prince KR starred in). Anyway, the lunch wasn't too bad but we were under dressed. The bright side was that the weather was absolutely beautiful and sunny!!
As we drove to Ballarat, Rabbit said she couldn't get the "ballarat" song out of her head (cos that song was played so frequently on local radio station)... hehee... Anyway, we arrived Ballarat and checked into Sovereign Hill Lodge and browsed around the old cowboy gold mine town... Dinner and the night show was included. I had high expectation for the night show, but it turned out just alright (maybe because it was so damn cold and I was a little tired??)
(Anyway, more photo will be posted to online album soon! Stay tune!)

My Birthday!!
[ friends and family ] happy birthday to you (me!)
My Birthday!!! ...My Birthday!!! ...My very BIG Birthday and I fell sick thanks to Melbourne's extreme weather (4 seasons in one day!!) ...Thankfully I had the chance to sleep in until 12pm as I didn't have to babysit Rabbit cos she's out with her friend from Canberra! ...I woke up for light lunch and back to afternoon nap for another 1-2hours... And *woah-laaaa*... I felt so GREAT after that... Fully recovered and ready for my BIG day! ...heheeeee...
We first picked up Rabbit from city and boy, she looked pretty crook as well... I guess it's all because we didn't get enough sleep and been out in extreme weather for the past few days...
Anyway, we ended up meeting my parents at Box Hill before going into one of the Chinese restaurant at Box Hill due to our favorite Malaysian Restaurant at High Street was closed during Xmas/New Year season... And after dinner, we all went back to my place to sing me a Birthday Song and cut the Mango Gateau (thanks Winnie for the cake!!) ...Yummy!!!
I have received tons of greetings via SMS, Emails and received some lovely presents... perhaps I shall do a list like Cybreed... heeeeeeee... And here's mine:-
Xmas/Birthday presents from friends/family:-
- Parents (dinner & lotsa love!)
- Brother & his gf (Smokey Quartz ring & the Mango Gateau)
- Rabbit (Handmade bag, Klim'sNotebook)
- Luyi (Dragonfly Necklace)

Xmas Greetings from friends (via SMS/Cards/Emails):-
- Khanh, Cybreed, Chung, Elsa, Kai, Aunty Margaret, Melissa Koh... (and maybe more...)
Anyway, I'm happy to receive so many greetings but in the mean time, I felt terrible because I don't think I remember most of their birthdays??? ...I realised I'm such a terrible friend!!! ... *sob*sob*... I shall take some time out to reflect myself and think about since when I have changed to become such a careless person... And of course to find out when is my friends' birthdays without them knowing !! ...heeeeeeeeeeee...

[ savage garden ] the animal song
We got up pretty early to get ready for our Open Vehicle Adventure at 915am! ...Despite losing our way to Werribee Zoo (it's kinda usual for me to get lost anyway!!), we arrived a bit early than expected... So we jumped for some great shots while waiting... (Rabbit sure knows how to jump for the snap!! ...heeeee)
The weather was terrible as it was raining and it was freezing cold by the time our adventure started... We sat at the back of the open vehicle suffering from strong cold wind as the vehicle moved into the first animal territory called Savanah Park (where we saw the muscular Rhinos hanged out with the beautiful Zebras and the elegant Giraffes... Was hoping the rhinos would come and attack our vehicle (yeah right!) but they seemed so tamed!! ...Anyway, we also saw Mongolian Horses and Hippos and Camels and lotsa different kind of African Goats/Deer (no idea what they called them!!)... No, the vehicle didn't drive into the big cat's (Lion and Cheetah's) territories... There's this tours called "Rip Roaring Feed" for closer encounter with the big cats... Perhaps we shall join that next time!! ...hohoho
Anyway, after the Open Vehicle Adventure, we spent some time walking around the Zoo... We saw Cheetah and Lions of course... Well, it's kinda funny cos I was checking out this separate small path next to the main walking area... It's a bush areas where the grass are so tall and the path was so winding, I couldn't see what lies in front of me!? ...Anyway, as I walked further by myself, I heard the Lion roaring SO LOUD like it was very angry that I entered his territory and was going to jump out from the bush and ATTACK me?!!!?... Of course I freaked out and RAN FOR MY LIFE without second thoughts!!! ...and as I ran out from the bush area, Rabbit caught me and laughed at me badly... And we then found out it wasn't a real lion that roars, it was just a sound effect thingy that they installed in the bush area to scare people!!! ...Grrrr... (Thank goodness Rabbit didn't take a snap of my freaked out expression as I ran out from the bush... hehehe)... Yeah that's the highlight of the day...
Anyway, we then went to the Werribee Rose Garden to take some photos as well as checking out the Werribee Mansion before we headed back to Melb for me to take an afternoon nap before meeting up with Rabbit's friend for dinner at 金鼎@Chinatown... They actually drove all the way down to Melb from Canberra just to meet up with Rabbit... How sweet huh!!!

Visitor from Perth - Day 2
Check out Rabbit's blog for the whole Day 2 in details... hehehe...
I must say I almost ruined the holidays for being so careless!!
Well, after YumCha @ Shark Fin House, I parked my car near Crown Casino and we spent quite a while in Crown for the beautiful musical decos and carols, and of course we couldn't resist the beautiful cakes (she had Chocolate Tiramisu, I had Strawberry Cheesecake) at Gecko... I saw Elsa and her hubby at Casino too (Melb is quite small, ain't it?!) ...
Anyway, we then walked along the Yarra River to South Gate, and from Art Centre & National Art Gallery to Federation Square, and she likes the old gothic designed building called "Forum" at the corner of Russel St & Flinders St... Took quite some photos there before we walked along Swanston Street to Chinatown to have some simple Japanese food before we walked back to Crown Casino to pick up the car...
As we approached nearer to my car, guess what I noticed?? ...I forgot to turned off the headlight!!?!! ...No doubt the battery was totally FLAT by then since it's been nearly the whole day we parked the car there... RACV's hotline advise that it would probably take 2 hours for the Road Side Service to come and assist us due to busy night... As we were waiting (probably just 10mins), we saw the RACV Road Side Service truck came by and guess what? ...They came to fix someone else's car not far in front of us!!! ...They said they'll come back to assist us after they have fixed the car in front... Thank goodness we didn't have to wait for 2hours!?!?! ....Happy!! ...hehehe... Anyway, I had my battery changed on the spot!! ...
Well, perhaps Rabbit brought me lotsa luck, because if we had waited for 2hrs for to get the battery fixed, I'm sure we couldn't make it to Werribee Zoo tomorrow morning for the Open Vehicle Adventure... hmmph... Ain't we lucky on X'mas Day?? ...hohoho...

Visitor from Perth - Day 1
[ liang jing ru ] nuan nuan
Woke up today at 5am to pack a few things before picking up Rabbit from the airport... Yes, I have a visitor and I have such a big responsibility now as Melb's reputations will be on my shoulders now... =P
Well, we were both pretty tired after coming back from the airport, and we tried to get some sleep? ...but my tummy couldn't stop making noises... At last we decided to get up and have big breakfast at St Kilda Beach as we could also check out the Sunday Market there... Anyway, the breakfast was great, and the market wasn't that crowded due to it was still early... We then went for a walk at the beach...
Since we were around the area, I decided to take Rabbit to Brighton to check out some colorful and pretty Bath Houses before we headed to Port Melb to check out Mirvac's townhouses... After that, we went to Williamstown via beautiful West Gate Bridge... Williamstown has a great view of the city from the opposite of Port Melb sea... but we didn't really get to walk around Williamstown due to too windy... We then went to Footscray to check out the Vietnamese community before we head home for another afternoon nap (for me only cos I was extremely tired)... hehe
I had 2 hours of Super Power Nap before we headed back to city for another drive... We went to Rememberance Shrine and took lotsa photos before we walked around in Botanica Garden... The weather became pretty bad and I was only able to show her around the city and Dockland by car... After that we went to Chinatown to have dinner and head home...
Covered quite a lot today actually... Let's hope the coming days would cover more (I doubt it, cos the weather is terrible!! ...Hail, rain, and extremely cold wind... and its Summer now?!! ...

First Cake of the year
[ jay zhou ] ye qu
Went for Yumcha with my ex-colleague just to catch up before Xmas or the year end... After lunch, we also spent a good few hours just to walk around the city (to burn some energy for eating so much?)... It's such a beautiful day...
Just right before we went our seperate ways, she took out a beautiful love shaped cake (which she made) and a birthday present for me from her car... I was so surprised!!! ...Very touched and speechless...
I truly appreciate the fact that she remembers my birthday, and I even feel more touched knowing she actually spent her own quality time to make me a beautiful yummy butter cake...
It's truly the thoughts that counts...
The effort that no better gifts could ever replace...
Thank you very much, Elsa sweetie... *muah*

My New Toy
[ kenny g ] song bird
The touch of it... the sound of it... the look if it... I'm loving every inch of it!!
I'm talking about the Xmas and Birthday present that I bought for myself -- Yamaha P70.
I've been playing for a few good hours every day...
I've been printing out so many Music Sheets that I have been collected all these years...
I wished I didn't have to go to work every morning, so that I could spend more time with my new toy... and I couldn't wait till I finish work every afternoon, so that I could rush home to practice the music I love...
I get this peaceful and relax feelings when I play piano... just like when I draw/paint...
It feels like I'm in my own world or in the "zone"...

Summer Night Market @ QVM
[ evanescence ] lithium
SUMMER has started and so is the Summer Night Market at Queen Victoria Market...It runs for 13 weeks only (every Wednesday night during Summer except 27th December)...
I usually would "at least" check out the night market once per year cos I love the Summer entertainment that is a little weird but fun and wonderful... There's many locally arts and crafts, young designers fashion and accessories, and some very innovative and unusual stuff that people could come up with, and of course the International Food stalls that freshly prepared all the yummy food on site...
Check this out! ...hehe... This is the new chinese food stall, but most of them who works there are not Asian... Their outfit are the brightest and their wok and wok-turner are so huge that they attracted so many people... Not many of them buying food there though (maybe not at that time cos it was still early when I got there)... heeeee....
Every year, I would try different food... Last year I tried Indian food, this year I tried Spanish food... I also bought a Turkish pan fried bread that stuffed with cheese and spinach! ...Very Yummy... Maybe next year I shall try some African food hey!? ...hehe
There's ONE thing that I MUST have whenever I go to Summer Night Market... That is -- the BEAUTIFUL cup cakes... OMG!!! ...They are sooooooooooooo pretty!!! ....There's many different flavors with different beautiful icing design... I always find it hard to pick one because I felt like I wanna have all of them... Anyway, this year, I had the Orange Flavour cup cake... It was not bad but last year, I had Sticky Date and it was Oh-So-Very-Nice!! ....
(Rabbit, during the 2nd week of your stay in Melb, if we come back early from our Great Ocean Rd trip, we might be able to go to Night Market the same day... =)

Holiday @ Work
[ thirsty merc] in the summertime
I think my mind has already took off for holidays without taking me... =/

Gary's Birthday
[ u2 & greenday ] the saints are coming
Saturday night I met up with an old friend as it's his birthday... We were lucky enough to catch the sunsets before having Mexican food at Williamstown... I was rather surprised that he's never been to Williamstown when he was studying in Melb more than 5 years ago...
Anyway, I bought him this cute little mango cake (yum yum!!!) as it's his first birthday since he moved back to Melb two months ago... Wishing him all the best and many happy and wonderful days to come!!
I like this blurry happy photo... =) ...cos it's very mango!!

Weight of the things...
[卫兰 ] 离家出走
I seldom listen to Cantonese songs...
Late last night a good friend in Melb sent me this song via messenger... I stopped what I was doing to listen to the song... and I liked it...Very melodic and beautifully sung by 卫兰...
I vaguely remember a colleague sorta recommended 卫兰's songs to me, but I gave it a pass... but when my friend sent me this song, I liked it...
We tend to listen to / take advise / willing to open for new things for those people whom we trust more...
I loves presents/gifts...
I receive a gift from a cool friend from Msia, I appreciate his thoughts and kindness... I know him long enough and well enough and I'm in the comfort zone to accept any gifts from him without feeling awkward... (*wink*wink*... more to come yeah?? ...heheheee...)
I receive a gift from a colleague yet that gift has became my heaviest baggage... because I not only cannot give him any kindness in return, I actually felt rather uncomfortable if I didn't make sure there'll never be more than just colleague or just friend between us...
Presents/gifts' value actually comes from the importance of the giver in our heart as it could be just a card from close ones, yet it is enough to warmth our heart...
Original DVDs...
I am not fuss about movies or Dvds... I couldn't care less whether it is an original or copy as long as it is not Telesync... cos I hardly watch a movie twice or thrice...
When it comes to movie that I really really like, I must have the original DVDs no matter how expensive they are... Friends have the original DVD and offer to burn me a copy? ...I still insist to have my very own original...
There's no significant difference between original DVDs and duplicate copies, but there's great differences if I truly like it.
All the matters might seem the same...
But it's our heart that weight them differently...

Ring of my Right
[ evanescence ] weight of the world
I have finally found a ring that I really like on Sunday!!
A vintage ring with a few orange garnets...
A ring that is very unique...
A ring with personality...
A ring with attitude...
A ring that says "I can" instead of "I do"...
A ring that shows "no boundaries"...
Yet... I didn't buy it...
Perhaps I want to make sure that I truly fond of before I buy my first ring...
Perhaps I want to wait for a few days to see if my heart still yearn for it...
Perhaps I enjoy the feeling of having something to look forward to...
...that kinda uncertainties feelings of whether it would be sold to someone...
...or it truly belongs to me at the end...
Why do I want a ring?
...because I am single...
...because my happiness comes within myself, not from someone else...
I want a ring on my right hand...
I want a ring that declares my right... =)

He says... She says...
[ debbie gibson ] lost in your eyes
He says...
He wants to get to know her better and best way is be in the relationship...
She says...
We don't necessary need to be in a relationship to get to know a person...
He says...
She has to improve to minimize hardships in their relationship...
She says...
He has to love her as a whole and not afraid of what may comes in future...
He says...
If he could not see them being happily together in the future, he'll let go ...
She says...
Having doubts now only means that you're searching for an easy way out...
He says...
She still has feelings for the other guy and it's normal if she feels this way...
She says...
You're not the one for her if she couldn't forget about the other guy now...
He says...
Only time will tell if we were meant to be together...
She says...
Love has no MAYBE... and there's too many maybe in yours...
He says...
How could you be so certain when everything is a constant change?
She says...
You know, when you are in love... You know, when that's the one...
He says...
You're just a Romantist... I am not like that... I am very realistic...
She says...
Yes, I am a Romantist... yet I am much realistic than you think you are...

She... is just an outsider...

Babies make me smile and they brighten up my day...
I was checking out the photo album of Baby Brandon the other night while listening to Evermore's music...
I feel so much better since the weekend... Why?

Fighter 2
[ enigma ] return to innocent
Heard the news about Belinda Emmett's passing today... Sad...
I thought she would lived longer especially seeing her being so determine and so strong all these while... but it still killed her like it killed my friend's mum just a few days ago...
Just as I started to forget about completing my 5 years milestones...
Just as I started to have a long term dreams & plans...
I realized I do have to sorta plan my life around it in some kinda way...
Because there's not a single day I don't think about it...

Fighter
[ the cat empire ] hotel california
A friend's mum passed away just few days ago...
She discovered she had it the same time when I was recovering from my relapse end of last year... and she's gone now... and I survived...
It's such a complex feeling that I don't really know how to describe it... There's sadness and fear... and there's confusion and frustrations (yet that brought more strength inside in many ways)... There's realization of how fragile human being is, and there's more appreciation to every beautiful things around me in this moment of time...
Re-check my to-do list... Hmmm... it's about time to work on those instead of letting time stray away...

Crêpes @ Williamstown
[ evermore ] running
We went to Williamstown hoping to taste the best Sticky Date Pudding at the Pelican Hotel's restaurant... All the way there to find out they no longer serve Sticky Date Pudding on their menu... So disappointed, so sad... until we found a replacement - French Crepes!!
I have never been to Breizoz Crêperies during night time at all... Usually we'd only dropped in for breakfast or brunch, and checking out the artworks on the wall (they change the paintings all the times and some said those were painted by the owner's daughter)...
He ordered Apple & Calvados Crêpes Flambées... She ordered Apple & Chocolat Crêpes... and I ordered just Apple Crêpes... (Just because I casually mentioned to them the Apple Crepes is nice... and we all ended up ordering the ones with apple... lolx)
Crêpes made our day as that's the best thing we have eaten that night.

False Alarm
[ evanescence ] all that i'm living for
I went to bed around midnight last night, and as I was tossing and turning trying to fall asleep... I started to feel a little uncomfortable yet I didn't know why... I started to explore why I felt that way, yet that feeling of something terrible might happen growing even stronger... I was shivering and sweating... Made a few calls/sms to ensure everybody I care about is okay...
Well, I have always trusted my instinct and it hardly failed me... On the other hand, I sometimes do wonder if it was my strong mind that made things happened and made things come true...
Anyway, it's never a good feeling knowing something was going to happen, yet I couldn't stop it... and this kinda feeling used to frustrate me a lot because I just couldn't do anything to change it nor to help anyone... and I used to question what is the purpose of given me such distinct instinct when I couldn't change anything? ...But I have grown to understand that maybe I wasn't supposed to change the course of what may happen in the future, and the purpose of it perhaps was to help me and help others to prepare and to handle what may have come? ...
Well, I thought the best I could do was to stop worrying because I still don't fully understand the power of my mind? ...and I read from somewhere about - sometimes mind power could contribute to what is going to happen... so in order not to let my mind release any negative vibes and maybe make things come true... I decided to meditate and calm myself down... Boxed away all the negative things away, and imagined white lights all around everybody and everything...
And the last time I checked the time, it was 3.15am...
I woke up at 6.30am feeling afresh and I'm a little surprised how much meditation helps... Usually if I went to bed such late and woke up such early, I would feel extremely tired and have puffy eyes... Anyway, I was feeling great in the morning... but all started to go down hill at 2pm at work, cos I couldn't stop yawning... TGIF!!! ... =)
Well, about the terrible feelings I had last night? ...Perhaps it was just a false alarm... Perhaps it's just a journey for me to learn slowly how to take a little control of my powerful mind (who knows? ...maybe i really do have special power that I know not of - just like the popular TV series in US (HEROES?)... haha... In all, meditate helps...

No Treat No Trick
[ ella fritzgerald & louis armstrong ] dream a little dream of me
How was your Halloween? ...Mine was quiet...
I was hoping the kids would dressed up and knock on my door because I actually rushed to supermaket to buy a few packet of lollies and chocolates after work... The door bell didn't ring the whole night... and now I probably would put on a few extra kilos because of those lollies and chocolates I bought... =/...Hmmmm... Actually, I will bring them to work to distribute to my colleagues (so that I wouldn't have to carry all the calories all by myself... muahahahahaha)
So, what's the story behind Halloween? ...I asked a few of my colleagues and they have no idea but the pumkins and all the treat or trick... hmmm... I couldn't be bothered looking up on Google because I am not that keen on Halloween anyway... (Grown up are boring, isn't it??)... hehe... Well, it's just another ordinary day (since the kids didn't knock on my door for treat or trick)... =)

One after another...
[ ooki ] happy birthday to you
Guess what? ...I have forgotten ANOTHER birthday of my dearest friend...
Actually, while I was suffering from my back pain yesterday, I was playing with my phone (to personalized some ringtones to my contacts)... and I sorta remembered that it's my friend's birthday this few days...
Well, as I mentioned previously that I'm terrible with Birthdays and Dates... and I thought of calling him just to see how has he been and find out which day exactly his birthday is (cos I knew it's either 28th, 29th, 30th or 31st October, but I couldn't pin point which date exactly??)... haha... Anyway, I then fell asleep without making any calls...
12am midnight... I was already asleep and my phone rang... Who the heck called me so late? ...Ignore it and continue to snore...
Early this morning I woke up and checked my missed call... and it was the friend whom I was thinking of!! ...How cool was that, I thought... And just as I was feeling quite contended with my PSYCHIC power (haha)... My phone rang and it's my friend again... hmmm... terrible feeling rushing through me... Why? ...cos I knew the reason why he called...
As usual... I have missed his birthday... to make it worst, this is the fifth or sixth birthdays of his which I have missed... and to top it off, this is also the fifth or sixth time which he actually has to call me and scold me... *sob*sob*... Feeling very awful actually... cos I have to wait for another year to proof that I actually do remember his birthday and I do treasure him as my dearest friend? ...hmmm...
After the phone call, I hurry entered his birthday onto my cool phone and something even worst happened to me... I have no idea how, but I accidently erased EVERYTHING on my phone's calendar!??!?! ...I lost all my appointments and schedules and birthdays on my calendar!!!! ...@#$%&$
So, to all my dearest friends... sms me now to let me know your birthday again... If you do not do so, do not blame me for not remembering your birthday.... (muahahahahahhahahaha!!)...

Backache....
[ elvis costello ] let's misbehave
I suffered a terribile back pain in the afternoon (probably from my bad posture or shrink with cold due to the freezing wheather these few days)...
Can backache kills?? ...I actually thought I was going to die because no matter how I tossed and turned on my bed, I just couldn't find a position that could relieaf me from the pain... The pain wasn't excruciating, but it was sore enough till I felt like throwing out... I think I would pass out if I didn't lie down too!!
Anyway, it took a while for me to calm myself down and tried to relax and wait for the pain to go away... and then I fell asleep... and now the pain has gone... Let's hope it won't come back tomorrow, or else I would have to see a doctor (which I hope I won't have to)... Oh well, better jump back to bed and take the weight off my back now....
Hmmm... Talking about the weight... Could it be that I'm growing FATTER that's why my spine couldn't take the LOADS ?!?!?!?... *sob*sob*... Please tell me I'm not fat (but telling me big bone won't work too ok!!) ...Ahhhhhhh... Time to lose some weight, yeah??? ...heheeeee... (Am I fat? ..Am I? ...Nah, just big bone.... dammit!)

So Fly for an Earring
[ sheryl crow ] begin the beguine
Oh yeah, before I had the massive back pain, I was actually shopping with Winnie. Melb Cup day and Summer is coming soon and there's so many pretty Summer dresses around... and just as we were browsing for some jewelry right in the middle of the shopping centre. I spotted this Earrings which has a fly attached to it... It's kinda funny cos I thought they purposely put a fake FLY on the earrings to sorta make fun of the Summer in Australia (in case you don't know, the fly down under are humoungous and annoying. They'll fly around your face and follow you wherever you go... and if you talk too much, they might fly into your mouth!)...
Ok back to the FLY on the earrings... I started to check out the FLY cos I was amazed how real it looks! ...and I started to wonder if it was a real fly!! ...So I sorta push this earrings forward so that I could check out the other same earring design at the back of this one... and there's no fly on the others?!?... and guess what? ...the fly didn't move a bit while I was flipping and moving the earrings... I am positive that you could pat on the fly's head like patting a dog, and it still wouldn't move a bit... (but yuks!)
So there you go! The fly down under are as relaxed as Australian...

Tankini... Bikini... Linguini...
[ gary jules ] mad world
Today I took a sickie just to see my GP. She is like a guardian angel to me... Though I haven't seen her for nearly 1.5yrs and she's still very informative and caring (and beautiful!)...
Oh yeah!! I have finally bought my first tankini!! ...I have never had one before (even my hot mama wears a tankini to swim!)... and I think I was the only female who didn't bring any tankini/bikini to Bali... kekekek... (Wokay wokay, I still don't have Bikinis yet, but HEY! Tankini is good enough for now!! At least I'm taking my tiny little bunny steps to be a little less conservative??)... heeeeee...
Anyway, I have done so many things today... Like searching for accommodations and planning out the itinarery for Rabbit's visit to Melbourne end of this year... The 2 weeks itinarery is nearly done!! ...And my holidaying mode has been switched on now... Ahhh!!! ...Can't wait for year end!!! ...(Actually, I hope Rabbit's phone interview with Melb Uni would be sucessful tomorrow so that she could MOVE to Melb instead of visiting Melb end of this year... *Good luck, Rabbit*!! ...hohohoooooo....)
What a day today!!! ...I probably could have done all those during Saturday and Sunday, but whenever weekend comes, I'd rather sit back and relax instead of getting all those things fixed... And when weekdays started, I'd regret that I didn't take my time to do something during weekends, especially it'd be very tiring to do anything after coming back from work... hmmmph... Do you feel this way too or just me? ... =/
I shall get rid of my old habit and be more productive during weekends!!! ....HOHOHOHO!!!
Today I took a sickie just to see my GP. She is like a guardian angel to me... Though I haven't seen her for nearly 1.5yrs and she's still very informative and caring (and beautiful!)...
Oh yeah!! I have finally bought my first tankini!! ...I have never had one before (even my hot mama wears a tankini to swim!)... and I think I was the only female who didn't bring any tankini/bikini to Bali... kekekek... (Wokay wokay, I still don't have Bikinis yet, but HEY! Tankini is good enough for now!! At least I'm taking my tiny little bunny steps to be a little less conservative??)... heeeeee...

Sozai...
[ misia ] everything
I wonder what "Sozai" means in Japanese...
Anyway, we went to have dinner at Sozai Restaurant at High Street... This is one of the Japanese restaurant I would recomment everyone to drop in whenever they feel like having Japanese food. Their Sashimi Platter is not to be missed, because you will never find another Japanese restaurant in Melb which is this generous (their slice of sashimi is thicker than the others)...
Their menu is interesting too... Anyway, we had Agedashi Tofu, Gyu Tataki, Nasuden, Kaki fry, Miso Soup, Sashimi Platter (main), and Unagi Don, and Greentea Ice-Cream... and I am still full (had dinner 3 hrs ago) as I am typing this...
I guess my brother's girlfriend was probably too full until she accidently slipped and fell down in the restaurant... hehe... *quite embarrased* cos when we heard the big-bang, the whole restaurant suddenly fell silent, and the spot-light was all on her... *^_^*... hohoho... We were a little mean cos we couldn't stop laughing after she came back to the table... =P ...
I'm still very full... how?!! ...

[ cranberries ] salvation
El Nino has hit eastern Australia. This is the warmest and driest Spring ever... Can you imagine just few days ago, the weather hit 36 celcius degree during begining of Spring?!? ...I have long worried about the global warming and thought about how the world may end, and it's just quite frightening to experience all these changes now...
Stage 2 of water restrictions will take effect coming November in Melbourne. I truly hope everyone will take this seriously. I have friends who doesn't care about water saving, and make themself a luxurious and comfortable bath at home as often as they could when they have nothing better to do... Hell!!!! ...Totally unacceptable and what a selfish act!! ...
I'm even more disgusted when I saw the news on TV today, about the Government was planning to build 25 swimming pools for the school in the state... HELLO?!?! ...Building more swimming pools when we have water restrictions? ...Where the hell their brain is?
Anyway, I hope Australia will sign the Kyoto pack soon... We need to change cos the drought this year will bring up the prices of all the veges and fruits, and in a few years time drinking water will become a major issues if nobody is going to do anything about it... sigh...
I haven't watched THE INCONVENIENT TRUTH yet, but I certainly will buy a copy of the DVD and watch it myself, and force everyone around me to watch it too...
Let us be a little more environment-conscious...

[ tenacious D ] tribute to the best song in the world
Diamond is a girl's best friend... female always have this sparks in their eyes when they see diamonds... So how much do we know about diamonds before we pay thousands of money for just a ring?? ...People often use the size or weight (carat) to measure and to show off their diamond... but a diamond's value is actually depends on the way it was being cut, and not completely about how big it is... ain't it? ...Shall we learn more about diamonds' cutting technique before we take out our wallet?? ...
Anyway, I know very little about diamonds, and I'm not that into them... I'm not getting married any sooner (or never!), so I don't have to pay too much attention on diamonds... hehe... Aren't I lucky? ...and aren't my future hubby lucky (if he exists)... lolx!!
I am more into semi-precious stones (crystals) for healing purposes... and jewelry that made of natural coral, wood or bones, cos I think they are very very earthy and lovely... suit me and suit my style... hohohoo.... cos I'm not a rose person, I'm a sunflower-lover... =)

Another Chapter
[ rachael yamagata ] be be your love
So many weddings this year... none of them are mine...
(To my secret admirers, yes there's still chances... heeeeee)
Sometimes looking at friends around me who are DESPERATELY finding love, scares me... Sometimes seeing friends who hang on to someome who doesn't love them back, makes me wonder why do I have friends who's not that wise enough to see that (sorry, it's a little harsh, but if you think I'm talking about you, then be a little wiser... heeeeee)...
So, how many couples who are getting married, are truly married in the name of love? (Do I make myslf sound SOUR? ...hahahhaahha... NOT!!)

Defectoe
[ queen ] bohemian rhapsody
Somebody at work talked about birth defects and I overheard them talking about if we have hair growing on our knuckles, that's a defects (?!!?)... and they also said if our second toe is longer than our first toe, that's also a defects... Geesh... I started to wonder if that was true and the first thing I reached home after work, was to do a google search... and I found this survey regarding our toes... (Reason why this topic interests me was because my second toe is longer than my first toe! ...heeeeee)...
Anyway, majority (50%) of the people has longer second toes (YEAH!!!)... So which numb-nuts said we are defects?! ...Derrr... (hahaha) ...

Long Time No See...
[ white town ] your woman
Such a beautiful day... not a single cloud in the sky... planned to trim my hair, but suddenly thought of a friend whom I haven't met for ages... I really didn't expect she would be in the mood to come out at all... She's been hiding in her cave and refused to come out since last year...
Anyway, we went to Elwood beach where there's this lovely Cafe near the beach, which is not as crowded as any other beaches in Melb (esp on such a beautiful weather)... Lotsa laughter... Lotsa great tales... Great time... Great day... Great fun... Great Place... and a Great friend... Hopefully it won't take another year to meet her again next time... =)

Drama
[ 深白色 ] 那個人
I received stupid prank calls yesterday morning, which freaked me out completely!! ...I told him off and hung up... I then closed all the blinds, and locked all the doors and windows... and I carried the biggest and sharpest knife wherever I go in the house!!! ...and soon after I finished doing my laundry, I went to my brother's place to spend my whole weekend due to I was too afraid of being home alone...
Anyway, now that I think back, maybe I was a little over-reacted... I mean, maybe he could tell that the first 4 digits of my home phone is located around Broadmeadows and that's why he started to say something that sounded like he knew "something"... Oh well, hope it was just nothing and I was just scarying myself... hmmm... what a weekend...
(Oh yeah, I forget to tell the funniest part... before I went to my brother's place, I actually pour some baby powder on the carpet of all the doors entrance... I wanted to make sure if anyone breaks in, they'd leave their marks on the carpet (?!?!!!!!!!)... I know I know... haha... What a rediculous thoughts that I came up with, huh!!! ...Oh well, that shows how well I could handle panicking... lolx)

[ 周杰倫 ] 紅模仿
suddenly thought of them... wondering how have they been... haven't been in touch for ages... hoping they are doing well all these while... would love to say hi and catch up to have a cuppa sometimes...
we all have the latest phone, but the meaning of a mobile phone is no longer "connect" with the people around us as often... we all have emails and we could see each other online all the times... but we no longer "communicate"... we have became the victim of convenience and laziness...
**Interruped by a phone call, and I'm totally freaked out and must leave now....... @#$$%^@!&***

I get stressed seeing so many ugly sides of everything... =/ ...Can't people be more fair, more polite, and nicer to each other? ...(See!!! I started to be like them now as I'm here winging and complaining... tsk!!!) ...heeeee...
Anyway, I found the solutions to all these though -- my headphone!! ...

Picnic @ Williamstown
[ cake ] perhaps perhaps perhaps
The smell of sea... the smell of grass... the smell of early Spring!!!
We were having finger food and drinks while the dogs were running free chasing the sea breeze... Lying down looking to the horizon where the sky and the ocean joins while listening to the waves... ahhhh... so relaxed, so beautiful... Love it!
The weather started to change and we had to leave... Well, beautiful things usually won't last long, huh?! ...We ended up visiting a few display houses, and head home... We shall have another picnic again soon... =)

Birthdays Mixed Up...

Woke up in the morning, first thing came into my mind was to send an SMS to Rabbit wishing her Happy Birthday... I hardly remember friends' birthdays because I'm extremely terrible with numbers... Anyway, I was feeling kinda proud of myself that I actually remember her birthday...
While I was driving to do my tax return, I received her SMS telling me that her birthday was actually on LAST SATURDAY!!! ...I laughed so loud in my car with disbelieve!!! ...I was so CERTAIN that I thought it was her birthday today, and it turns out that I'm ONE week too late... AIKS!!! ...I remembered I asked her how was her last weekend without knowing it was her birthday too... YIKES!!! ... *I wanna hide*... lolx...
**Sorry Rabbit, I mixed up your birthday with KR's sister's.... =)

Anyway, I can really see myself flying to Sydney more often now, totally because Baby Brandon is so cute!!!! ...Baby Celina is going to be very adorable as well in a few months time (because she is only 1 month old now and I dare not hold/carry her due to she's still very fragile)...

An Affair with Sleepless In Seattle
[ jimmy durante ] as times goes by
I don't know why I just felt like watching "Sleepless in Seattle (1993)" without any reason... and I'm glad I did!! ...It's such a beautiful movies that I don't think I'd get sick of watching from time to time... It reminded me of the classical movie "An Affair to Remember (1957)" which I watched for the first time during my first Perth trip when I was visiting Rabbit earlier this year.
In Sleepless In Seattle, I particularly like the line when Sam Baldwin (Tom Hanks) was on the radio talking to Dr.Fieldstone about what is he going to do with his life after losing his wife, and he said:
Anyway, it's funny that I already knew it's a happy ending (cos I probably watched this movie many many times), BUT it still made my heart skipped a few beats worrying about what if they couldn't meet on top of the Empire State Building... lolx...
I had an affair with Sleepless In Seattle tonight, and I am smiling...
Sweet dreams! ... ;)

Then, after a while I won't have to remind myself to get out of bed every morning and breath in and out... and, then after a while, I won't have to think about how I had it great and perfect for a while."Ahh... Somehow I understand that feeling... it's so true, so right, and so very "there"! ...

The Lake House
[ keane ] somewhere only we know
We (Rabbit & I) have waited months for this beautiful piece "The Lake House" to be released in Australia... We have finally watched it together (in "The Lake House" kinda way!! ...cos Rabbit and I are both in different time zones, but we managed to plan ahead to watch it at the same time - her 230pm, my 440pm)... Sorta similar to The Lake House's same place / different time...
Anyway not only the movie is beautifully made, we have also experienced something worth remembering (for doing something that many think we are crazy)...
Life is about waiting... while waiting, you can plan, you can do something to make it means more before the right time arrives...
It is all about waiting for the right time for anything / anyone who's worth the long wait...

Chocolateria overdose
[ me first and the gimme gimmes ] runaway
Was going to check out Picasso exhibition but didn't really make it. Instead, we check out Rembrandt's etching and some European paintings. Rembrandt is really a fine artist...
Anyway, we then went to have a cuppa at the small lane of Little Collins Street before we head to Bridge Road's The Curry Club for dinner. It's not a bad choice for Indian food, but I have tasted better one, like the one at Lygon street, where I had my sexy Charade banged ages ago... =/
Wanted to catch Pirates of the Caribbean 2 but the 830pm session was full... so we decided to walk around at Brunswick Road (Love everyhing about Brunswick Road!!!)... Walked pass this Chocolateria San Churro which has a small white and milk chocolate fountain window display and we thought it was quite interesting... so we went to check it out. Ordered a glass of Classic and the Chocolate Tapas...
Hmmm!!! ...I've never felt so sick then... chocolate overdose... I don't think I'll eat Chocolate anymore... not for the next few months anyway... =x

Me?
[ pete murray ] opportunity
My patience is being put to the test... and it is wearing thin slowly... It's already been nearly 2 long months, and she not only hasn't came up with the speed on doing some of the very basic and simple tasks... She's still asking the same questions again and again as if everything was new to her... (reminds me of the movie "50 First Dates")... Anyway...
I started to question my teaching methods... I started to wonder if I didn't explain thoroughly enough... I started to think that maybe she doesn't understand what I am talking about (issit because I have some Malaysian accent or my English is poor?!?)... I started to have doubts in my ability to train someone... I started to think that maybe this is my problem?!?!? ... =x
(Anyway, I couldn't remember why I said men are all bastards now... I think I also have this short term memory lost nowadays due to stress at work... or maybe she is passing those memory lost bugs to me slowly!!!!!)

She's still asking the same questions again and again as if everything was new to her... (reminds me of the movie "50 First Dates")... Anyway...
I started to question my teaching methods... I started to wonder if I didn't explain thoroughly enough... I started to think that maybe she doesn't understand what I am talking about (issit because I have some Malaysian accent or my English is poor?!?)... I started to have doubts in my ability to train someone... I started to think that maybe this is my problem?!?!? ... =x
(Anyway, I couldn't remember why I said men are all bastards now... I think I also have this short term memory lost nowadays due to stress at work... or maybe she is passing those memory lost bugs to me slowly!!!!!)

Bitter & Sweet
[ little birdy ] relapse
I think it was just last Friday that I was listening to that song Creep... and it's impossible not to remember some of the bitter sweet memories whenever I come across that song... Anyway, I've always said whenever I thought of someone all of a sudden, I'd hear from them... My instinct in this field has always been quite accurate... *wink*
So much in my mind now... about life and death... about past and present... about bitter and sweet memories... about timing... about belated cares and concerned... about why I still easily get all teary about things... and why I wonder about what the present would be like if [ ? ] ...and how I miss the great things that will never be...
I try to tell myself... that this is meant to be [ that, then, this, now ] ...

Demons, Angels, Green Fairy in us...
[ panic! at the disco ] i write sin not tragedy
First page of the book they wrote, "Thank you for helping us with our Demons, and being the Angel that you are"... They gave me a set of Dan Brown's books because I bought them Green Fairy from my Bali trip last month... [sweet]
I had a sip of Green Fairy few weeks ago with them... Fabulous drink!!! ...I am surprised that I still managed to work after drinking a small glass... hehe...
Green Fairy has a long and interesting history... 19 century favour by the Bohemian poets, artists and musicians... They said the famous Toulouse Lautrec carried it in his hollowed cane... and they also said Van Gough cut off his ear after drinking it as well... The Green Fairy was once banned too in Europe...
Anyway, any [Moulin Rouge] movie lovers here? ...Remember the Green Fairy [Kylie Minogue] appears in the scene where all the musicians and artists was drunk at the apartment? This is the drink that they were having... =)

Upset with Socceroos' exit...
[ shannon noll ] lift
I am not upset at losing... but I am very very furious over HOW the game ended... Stupid Referee!!! ...No wonder they said Italian team had 11 men in their team (10 men left + 1 referee!!!!!)... @#$#^#$%!!!
The whole day, none of us in the office wanted to talk about it... It's just upsetting... We all felt so unfair and robbed... $%@$^$%... Not even the Italian felt proud of winning the match, as they also said Socceroos doesn't deserve this!!! ...URGH!!!! ...
Anyone going to buy me some Rum & Raisin ice-cream to cool me down? ...

GP Lounge/Pub
[ portishead ] glory boxToday went out with a friend for lunch because I haven't met up with him since I came back from Bali. As usual, we spent our day eat, eat and eat... and bitching about putting on weight during this cold Winter... Oh well, that's what food lovers do when they meet!! ...
After lunch, we drove back to city to hunt for a good place to sit down and have some dessert so that we could continue bitching about our own lives... Found a new interesting place next to GPO (hidden treasure!!)... And went to Little Collins Street to check out more hidden hangout to have a cuppa... And that's when I saw Gin Palace's door AGAIN!!!... So Happy!! ...(I've been to Gin Palance once before, and it's SO DAMN HARD to find the entrance because the entrance has no light, and it looks like a warehouse door without any fancy decos)...
Well, Melbourne has a lot of hidden treasures and if you're not regulars and if you don't come out often, you wouldn't even know these hidden treasures exist... Anyway, we went in and occupied one cozy corner all to ourselves and spent the rest of the afternoon there! ...Though their speciality is 1951 Gin-Martini (which they won the 1951 Martini competition in Chicago) but we didn't try any (yet!)...
Love this place... I'll bring anyone of you there if you guys love a cozy, sexy New York style boho-chic atmosphere... and a glass of Martini... shake... but not stirr... =P

World Cup Fever Lunchtime
My company's social club organized a penalty kick competition on Friday lunch and we all came to work in casual... With Australia's Socceroos advanced to the next round of the World Cup tournament in the early morning match (5am), everybody came to work with extremely hyper mood...
During lunch time, we all walked to the park, and getting ready to win the $50 (whoever scores the highest get the cash of course) ...Everybody gets 2 chances and there's 2 rounds for all of us... Anyway, I didn't score any goal... it was fun as everybody go a little wild and crazy...
(Everyone is ready to score... )
(The ladies who's wearing heals bitching about their pointy boots and they wanted extra chances?!! WTF!!)
(We're the Socceroos' supporters... hehehe...
(And me aiming for a goal !! )

[ sophie koh ] creep
One of my all time favourite song... a song which brought back a lot of memories... The Creep... (Came across a cover version by this singer. She was born in New Zealand & her parents are both Malaysian)...
I know whenever I hear somewhere only we know [ keane ] I will remember KR and Rabbit... So, which song do you listen to, that reminds you of me? ...Do we have a song that belong to us?

Children anybody?!
[ end of fashion ] rough diamonds
Was reading MX the other day about Johnny Depp claims that his life changed after his daughter Lily-Rose was born. Watch the birth of his first child banished the anger and selfishness from his character. "It was the first purely self-less moment, it was deliberating... There was clarity... It's like you become something else, the real you is revealed"...
I wanna have baby tooooooooooooo!!! ... *lolx*
Anyway, I was chatting to my friend who has just given birth not that long ago... I think after knowing all the FINE DETAILS of what she's been through to deliver the baby... I find it even harder to imagine myself having my own child / children in the future... No!!! I am not a fan of PAIN!!!
Don't get me wrong, I love kids and babies oh-so-very-much (except the flower kid - you'd know which one if I've told you the story about my Bali trip)... Yes I love cute babies and kids... and I think I know that "self-less" feeling is like (and I think I will like it?)...
How I wish I have a magic-stick, that I can just *ping*ping* a cute little baby for myself without going through the pregnant and giving birth stage... hehehehe... and have this cute little baby as the centre of my attention and my whole world... and move on to the next chapter of life with my baby......... (errr... nah, I still can't imagine I have kids at this moment of time cos i'm still a big kid myself... =/
Oh yeah... Listening to this song... I like it... do you?

Jumping for JOY!!
Well done SOCCEROOS!!!!!! ...What an inspiring, tension-filled and thrilling win over Japan last night!! ...Australia should have declared a national holiday today!!! ...cos everyone of us in the office were sooooooooo sleepy!! ...Even our manager called in sick... *muahahahaaaaaaaa*
Anyway, during the first half, Japan was leading (Aus 0 : Jap 1) and I was soooooooooo FRUSTRATED with that goal... I nearly went to bed!! ...On the other hand, I was smiling too cos I bought an "insurance" (I placed $10 bet on Japan would win)... hiak hiak hiak...
Errr... Don't ask me where is the LOGIC behind me supporting Socceroos in my heart yet placing bet on Japan would win... (cos I also find myself a bit hard to understand sometimes... hehehe)
Well, I think this is a DAMN GOOD example of "when mind and heart doesn't agree to each other!!!"... So in order to satisfy both, I did the most ILLOGICAL thing... hmmm... Make sense right?!?!

Space and Privacy
Not really sure what have been happening to me lately (again)... I crave for lots of space and privacy... and I am becoming a little anti-social as I wouldn't pick up anyone's phone call at all!? ...I just don't feel like talking to anyone... I just want my own space... I just wish I had more time to lie on the bed and read my books or doodle on my drawing pad, and I'll be happy...
A dear friend called my mobile at 1030pm last night. I didn't pick it up because I felt asleep reading a book. Then my house phone rang. It was late. (I thought we are not meant to call anyone's house phone especially when it was way past 9pm at night?) ...Anyway, just as I unwillingly dragged myself out of bed and ran to the phone, it stopped ringing?! ...#$%$%... Jumped back into bed and my mobile phone rang again... Picked up the call, and my dear friend was asking me where the papaya is STOKER cos he wanted to go there with his friend!? ...Hmm...
I have to admit that I was quite annoyed... Why? ...Well, it wasn't the FIRST time he asked me how to get there... It wasn't the first time that he called me up LATE just to ask me where STOKER is and he has been there a few times! ...I'm sure you'd get annoyed too if a person kept asking you the same question again and again, yet they couldn't be bothered remember the answer! ...I mean, if you like the place so much, why is it so hard for you to remember?
Also, the second thing was the fact that he couldn't reach me on my mobile, and rang my home phone (not remembering I have told him not to ring my home phone after 10pm!), and rang my mobile again... I mean, if this was an urgent matter, I would understand... but to TRACK me down like that just to find out where Stoker is, was unacceptable!! ...
I had another friend who is ever WORST! ...He tried to reach me on my mobile (I was somewhere and couldn't hear my mobile ringing and didn't pick up)... so he rang my home phone... and then he rang my (then) boyfriend's phone... just to ask me some unimportant matter... HELLO!? ...You don't ring the whole world to track someone down JUST TO ask something that is not so urgent at all...
I felt that my privacy and my space have been infringed... I felt like I am only the one they remember to call when they needed something at that very moment... I felt like they don't understand that people do need some space sometimes, and sometimes there's a reason people do not pick up their phone calls, and that's when they should KNOW it's better to SMS rather than keep calling EVERY numbers that they could think of to reach that someone...
Hmm... I winged a lot tonight... I think I want my space and my privacy lately, that's why all these blah-blah... Normally, I wouldn't think it's a big deal... Hmmph...
(Kev, i still love you my dear friend... hehee... just need to let it out cos I've been feeling quite weird lately)

Today
Do you have days when you feel that you've become a hollow shell of yourself? These two days, I cruised the day routinely, no emotions, no thoughts, no nothing... Aware of the numbness, yet not going to do a damn thing about it... Could it be the sign of another longer holiday is needed? ...hehehehe...

Overdue
My Bali travel entries have finally came to an end today!! ...*phew*...Yes, it's an overdue entries... Finally got that over and done with, and I guess I could move on now?? ...(I hope my brain is catching the overdue flight back to Melb tonight as I think I left it in Bali!!!)...
Well, it's quite a strange feeling as ever since I came back from Bali, there's not a single day that I don't miss or recall those bits and pieces in Bali... Walked past KFC or McDonald would also remind me of Bali (cos their KFC and McDonald comes with rice?!)...Saw my tatts and reminds me of Bali again... and etc etc etc... hmmmph...
I felt as if I've been living in a different dimension... Like my body is here but my mind wasn't... cos it's either still in Bali or at The Lake House... *muahahaha*...
Anyway, now that I have completed the Bali Travel entries, I guess I would give myself a few more days to say my final good-byes before I completely move on...

Struggles...
Watched too much of The Lake House trailer... Mind is not only being Keanutized (Rabbit invented this word!)... it also started to wander in 3rd, 4th, and 5th dimensions... I tried not to think about it too much, as the more I think, the more I suffer... (The movie wouldn't be released in Australia until late July... Which is still so damn FAR away... Getting really impatience... grrr...)
Funny... Why would we have to struggle NOT thinking about someone too much, when we know we can't stop thinking about them ? ...Is this some kinda self-protection-mechanism in us? ...
Have you ever purposely wait till the person come and talk to you first, just because you like them so much that you don't want to be the person who start the conversation first? ...(WHY??? Are you like that too??)
Why things have to be so complicated? ...(So?!! ...Why don't you talk to me first?) ...Who? ...(None of your *stawberry* business!!)

Movies
I just remembered I have a Da Vinci Code's free movie ticket... yet I don't have any plans to watch it yet...
Seriously, I am not that keen to go to cinema to watch movies for quite some times already... Am I getting old??? ...I mean, look at our parents... They also used to go for movies when they were young... but they don't anymore... Is that mean, I'm getting old too? ...
Actually, kinda think about it... I actually still quite enjoy watching movies at home... So, I guess it's not that I don't like to watch movies anymore and it's not that I'm getting old (muahahaa... trying to find excuses)... It's just that I don't like to spend money on going to cinema only... *phew*... I feel better now... kekekee

Photos in Flickr.com
Aiks... Just found out Flickr.com only shows the 200 latest photos that we uploaded (free membership)... Not happy!!! ...I have just uploaded up to Day 3 of our Bali Trip photos only and most of my Perth's photos are gone!!!! ...So, now I have to find another better online photo album so that I don't have to worry about storage space... =(
Still very lazy about blogging the Bali Trip... There's so many things to share but I really don't know where or how to even start typing... All the receipts and brochures are still sitting on my desks... Memories started to fade a little, but I think my mind is still in Ubud (Bali)... ?!?
Just last night I suddenly woke up middle of the night and wondering WHY and WHAT was I doing in my own room in Melbourne?? ...Aiks... I think my brain is a bit slow all the time, because when I was in Bali, my mind was still in Melb... and now that I'm back to Melb, my mind just reached Bali (possibly?!)... *lol*...
Okay, time to sleep... Work sucks!!

Bali Day 9 : Kuta > Melbourne
Woke up early as my friend finally managed to sneak out from work, and fly to Bali to meet up with me! ...and guess what was the first thing he said when he saw me!?!?! ...
Anyway, we then went to have lunch and walked to Poppies Lane 1, as he wanted to show me where Secret Garden Inn... Checked out Secret Garden Inn and it isn't bad... but I have no complains about Puri Tanah Lot Hotel where I stayed too... I think I'm not that fuss as long as there's HOT WATER for shower... *muahahahah*
Had a drink outside Secret Garden where they have a bar outside... Plain catching up especially we haven't seen each other for such a long time... Yeah, he is getting BIGGER too... *bleh*... *hahahhaha*... (I know he would be reading this and just to get even!)... =P
Oh well, it's great catching up with someone whom we haven't met for so long... especially we have been living in the different continents and we have our own lives... Glad that everything is still the same (as in we still could talk about anything just like old times)...
Anyway, we hang around until 530pm and went to airport to catch our flights!! ...Yes, he left Bali on the same day.... and I'm feeling thankful and greatful that he'd made such an effort... afterall, how many friends in your life would do that, huh? ... =)
Well, we went to airport together, and I sent him off before I walked to the International departure to check in...
I felt rather weird... or shall I say, I had a feeling of not wanting to leave Bali!? ...I felt sad that my holidays had finally came to an end... and I felt unbelievable that time passses by so fast... I had a great time with my friends and I wonder when would I see them again next time, and where woudl that be?! ...
You're getting bigger!OMG!! ...This was the first thing he said when he stepped out from the Taxi since we last met 6 - 7 yrs ago! ...@#$$%$%@$^!!!!!! ...No manners!!! ...grrr... hehehe... (I know I have put on some weight, but I don't need a reminder... and I would prefer to hear something that is more "sooothing" because "big, heavy, fat" are a bit hard to digest! ...Tsk!!!! ...hehehehe)
