All these notes will be IRRELEVANT from 4.30pm onwards!!First of all before I start anything, I wanna appologize due to the dust and cobwebs collecting/growing here.... Haven't had any inspiration to blog, although heaps of stuff has happened... blame on Facebook.. haha... instant uploads/instant updates therefore instant replies... Haha... Besides, it has been a hectic 2 months for me.. C.R.A.Z.Y!!
I think it has finally got me in the head... Oh ya, this is a rambling post... you can stop reading here... hahhaa...
Somebody commented that I'm on Facebook a lot, I admit I am.. That person asked me to considere deactivating my Facebook... unfortunately, pretty sure I'm addicted to Facebook... What you expect? It's the ONLY source of communication I get with friends back home!! so, in order to reduce being on Facebook, I decided to stop updating status... and see how I go from there...
As you can see, I'm probably having redrawal symptoms here.. haha... suddenly there's a huge spike in me posting on other people's walls... I keep changing my skype personal message thing... and here I am now... It's not working is it?
I'm so frustrated!! I have this one last assignment and it's not going ANYWHERE, 1. coz I'm procrastinating... 2. because it's hard... 3. I've done 3 major assignments before this one... 4. I'm no longer in the mood... 5. I wanna go home... 6. I'm sick of work... 7. I'm sick of uni.... 8. I'm always tired... 9. I miss home a lot... 10. I can think of 10 000 other stuff to do besides this assignment...
So how bah?

Did you know that New Zealand is the ONLY COUNTRY in the world cup who hasn't lost a game in the 2010 Fifa World Cup??
Now you know!! :)
GO KIWIS!!
I went Oranje for Netherlands!But despite the drama, psychic animals, the heartaches, shouts of joy, tears of sadness and all that... I must say that I did really enjoy Fifa World Cup 2010... Sometimes those countries who never won the world cup should be given a chance to win it too...
Congratulations Spain, you played well, you maintained your game, and you up-ed your game when needed... You totally derserved to win the World Cup... :)
My world cup fever is finally over... :(
Why??
Germany is out...
SOOO CLOSE YET SO FAR!!!
But it's alrighttttt, WORLC CUP 2014 I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU!!
I swear I didn't planned it!!!
I FEEL SO KE$HA!!!! A bottle of Jack next to my toothbrush!!! HAHAA!!
And in case you guys were wondering...
NO I DID NOT BRUSH MY TEETH WITH A BOTTLE OF JACK!!!
FINISHED WITH EXAMS PEOPLE!!!! :)
South Africa here I comeeeee!!!!
World Cup, I'm officially yours now!! <3
I thought the opening ceremony was really good... I love watching formations... And I thought they did a good job!
First game wasn't too bad... First half was pretty slow and uneventful... Things started to pick up after Tshabalala scored the first goal for South Africa... I heart their vicotory dance! Hopefully there'll be more to come!!
Disappointed that Mexico then made the scores 1-1... Gahh... Would've loved to see South Africa win the opening match...
Oh wells, it was an interesting 2nd half anyways...
World Cup Fever has finally stuck me!! :D
I know this is my second post today, but IT'S GOOD!! Bear with me...
So I was going through my lectures on Social Psychology, which our lecturer showed us this ad, which I found hilarious, and since I'm in front of my laptop, I thought I'd share this with you all, and not make me look like the only idiot laughing to myself in the library... XD

Don't you think it's hilarious?? ;)
This made me smile and may even bring tears to my eyes if I listen long enough... Haha! Thankiuuuu Esther for posting this on my Facebook profile... :)
"My PC brings all the errors in the yard, and they're like, "get a MAC retard!"".
Haha... YES I SO AGREE!!! By the way, I must say that although I wished I came up with this, this wasn't from me... I found this on my friend's status on Facebook.
I SO WANT A MAC!!!!
Haha... I love this dude, and what he says is oh-so-totally true!
Who says Gawai only happens in Sarawak?? Aussie also can k... :P
So after months and months of anticipation, *cough*ReubenStephSherwynnaBryanshouldknow*cough*, the big day finally arrived. Started of with journeying all the way to Inala (1 hour bus ride from where I live) to go get the ingredients for food with Bryan and Uyen on the Saturday morning before the dinner.
On Monday morning (the big day), before uni started, I got up to marinade the pork. So I marinade it with lemongrass, ginger, garlic, soya sauce and pepper... I was pretty happy with the smell. It smelt perfect like home... :)
After uni that day, Bryan came over and we started marinading the chicken for the pansuh and prepared the belacan paste. Because we didn't have pestle and mortar, we had to improvise with a Smirnoff bottle filled with water and a chopping board...
Maybe more salt should have been added, but the lemongrass, garlic and ginger was really strong... So it was good. :D
Oooh, did I mentioned we managed to find kangkung? Yup, you guessed it! That's belacan kankung there, cooked to perfection by our chef, Bryan Wee! It was the most popular among our friends, well done!! :D
That's the pork you see cooking there! We tried to make babi bakar, but obviously this is the closest thing you can get to babi bakar without a fire. For a first try, it was really very good. I was surprised I managed to pull it off!
End of product! Of course only the best part of the pork was used... the BELLY!!! :)
Because it was also Kaamatan, it should only be right to have some Sabahan dish... This is guo tie, made by Steph... She says it's appropriate 'cause she's Sino Kadazan... ookayyy Stephhh... Haha! It was sooo good tho!
Dinner set on the table, babi bakar, belacan kangkung, ayam pansuh in aluminum foil, ulam (cucumber and cincalok sauce) and guo tie which was being warmed up at the moment this photo was taken...
And of course, what's a celebration without people eyy? I would say we did a good job considering there were no left overs... Yummmmy!!I just had to share this clip with you all!
All the Gawai statuses in Facebook, make me miss home so much... And the images in this clip reminds me of home! Huhuhu... can see Kuching International, Tun Jugah, Main Bazaar, Waterfront etc... Can't believe only 3 months ago I was there!!

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this clip as much as I did... Once again, Slamat Ari Gawai!
PS: We do not have flying buffaloes in Sarawak k... don't be mislead by the video!
SLAMAT ARI GAWAI TO EVERYONE WHO CELEBRATES!!!
As what a friend said, "mabuk jangan... minum sampei mabuk boleh!"... :)
Have a good festive season 2010 peopleeee!!!
Oooohhhhhhhaaaaa!!!
I saw this random picture in the net... I didn't bother to source the website for this 'coz it wasn't from the original owner anyway...MUST WATCH!! This is hilarious!!!
source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Lb_sfdyllkw
"She's hot tempered and I'm annoying"... I can't stop laughing at this!! :D Reminds me of some people... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!
Haha!!
Just something stupid that happened that I so have to share....
There was a black out just now.. and I felt like updating my Facebook status... since my laptop cannot be switched on due to no power, I decided to use my iPod... typed in "what a great time to get a blackout" - I was being sarcastic by the way - then the page cannot load... then I remembered, of course! We didn't have Internet, 'coz the modem wasn't working, 'coz there was no electricity... *hits head on the wall*
And then... my housemates and I wanted to light candles for light... halfway lighting, the fire burnt too fast and Hui Quan dropped the burning paper thingy on the floor... and then there were so much smoke after we stepped on the burning thing.. and guess what?
Yup, the bloody fire alarm went off... Hui Quan who lived with me in Kelvin Grove student apartments before and I panicked and started trying to get the alarm to stop ringing... At Kelvin Grove, the alarm is hooked to the fire departments, so when it rings, if you don't stop it, the fire engines will come and there's a AUD900 fine if it's a false alarm... Wahhhh... we went crazy... Esther tried to press the reset button or something, but we all were too short to reach the bloody alarm.. and so my damp cloth wouldn't do anything to help to.. so I started waving the cloth at the alarm thing, to get the smoke away.... I probably looked like an idiot 'coz Esther laughed... and then the alarm stopped...
The two of us were so shaken... Hui Quan and I, I mean... my hands were shaking from the drama.... and Esther kept laughing like anything... Idiot... lols...
But I must admit.. it was kinda funny... haha... and thank God the lights came back on!! :)

Maybe I'm that insignificant that I don't seem to exist when I'm not around... bah bah bahhh....
Anywayyy, update of my life? Assignments pilling up and I can't get seem to get started on due to brain not functioning due to sleep deprivation which wasn't self inflicted... I know... Life loves me... So far am able to keep my cold in control... at least I'm not coughing anymore... :) all i need to do now is... get rid of my cold... finish my essay... and then I'm good to go for training camp at Straddie Island!! So cannot wait!! :D
KK... I'm off to bed before it's too late to fall asleep... ciaozzzz.....
Was on the phone with my sis on Sunday... That was how I found out about this song...
Kudos to MALAYSIAN artists!! :) Finally a huge collaboration with Colby O Donis!!

PS: I can't believe I typed out the lyrics... Haha...
My ticketttt to my first ever major concert!!!Got up early to go to the concert... Was in the city at like 11am... it was supposed to start at 1, so my friends and I decided to go there at 12... didn't happen due to unforeseen circumstances... we got there at 1.30pm, and it gates weren't even open yet!! Which was good for me, 'coz I prolly would've cried if I missed any of the acts.
LOOK AT THE LINE!!! 
The Supafest 2010 poster 
It was at 3.55 when they FINALLY started doing acts on the main stage!!
This was the first act... Local... no idea who they were... Their dance moves were really good tho... and, yeaa... the crowd enjoyed it... It reminds me of Backstreet Boys, the hip hop version... HAHA!
After that.. suddenly this Lady Gaga look alike person came out... Chris Sobello... I thought it was a guy at first, from the name, but nope... turns out to be this Australian version of Gaga.
And then... FINALLYYYY!!! Eve came on! She was really good... Even though her voice was wearing out, she still gave a great performance... Kinda pity her, 'coz the crowd didn't really know her songs, so it was hard to sing along with her... and her DJ tried getting us to be louder...
And we went even crazier!! What I think was that, they were waiting for the sun to go down, to get it a little darker so that they could have the cool lightings...
He brought Britain's no. 1 beat boxer and damnnn!! The guy was seriously good!! He gave us a preview of Pitbull, Sean Paul and Akon... He blew our minds!!
But obviously Jay Sean was the hit... Everyone was singing along with him... and who could resist his sexy British accent... awwww!!!
Jay Sean, up close... I think he was singing "Do you remember" in this one... I couldn't get a close shot of him, so I took the video shot.. turnes out pretty good eyy..Next up was....
SEAN PAULLL!!!
IT WAS PITBULL!!!!
Now, Pitbull... HE WAS SO AWESOME!! His showmanship... wowww... haha... all I can say... I was quite shock with the vulgarities... I must admit, haha... like he just shouted, "LET HAVE A MOTHERF*CKING GOOD TIME!!!!". And he did that repeatly during his show....
But still... he was really good! I went wild in this one... HAHA!
Next up was Kelly Rowland...
Her voice was amazing... she started off singing "Dilema", the one with Nelly...I WAS LIKE... AWWWW!!! I LOVE THIS SONGGG!!! Reminded of Form 1/2 when the song just came out...
She was like... No matter what I dooo.... *stares at the crowd* All I think about is youuuu....
And she kept making us sing along with her... Too bad she didn't really sang the whole song... I was disapointed in that sense. She gave us a preview of her new single, and also sang some of Destiny's Child's songs, like Survivor among others...
But the finale... boyyy, the finale...
Akon was in the building... :D
He had some movie clips going on before appearing on stage, some annoying girls behind me were getting irritated 'coz it was so long... I was so close to turning around, and telling them to shut the F up 'coz not everyone does not want to watch the movie... but of course I didnt...
I liked his concept, so he had this movie clip going on, leading to whatever song he was gonna sing... for example, he had this rauchy scene with a super hot lady, and then she kinda like was working for some gangsters, and after tying him on the bed, she said to him, "you should've given us the diamonds". And he went, "Girl, you're so dangerous". I'm sure you can guess what he sang after that... ;)Then there was this one song, "I wanna f*ck you". Ok... I had NO IDEA it was "f*ck you", instead of "love you" k... screw Malaysian censorship lar... Don't give us the original lyrics one... I was like, why is everyone screaming "I WANNA F*CK YOU!! YOU ALREADY KNOW!!".
HAHA! Mind blowing...
When the song ended, Akon said, "Since you already know I wanna f*ck you, so you don't mind me smack that right?"
AHHHHHH!!!! And you know what came after that!! :D
HE WAS REALLY REALLY AWESOME!! And the best thing was he interacted with the crowd so much... That's why we loved him so much... AND HE ACTUALLY CAME DOWN FROM THE STAGE TO BE WITH US!!
That's him, IN THE CROWD!!!AND I WAS LIKE FEW INCHES AWAY FROM HIM!!
I know from this picture it doesn't seem so... but he came right where I was standing after that... My friend who was in front of me managed to touch him!! I didn't! :(
So near yet so far...
BUT HELL!! IT WAS SO WORTH MY 130 BUCKS!!
I saw this group on Facebook, and it just sounded soooo familiar.. haha..
"I'm doing a Bachelor of Procrastination, Majoring in Facebook at Uni"
I'm so gonna graduate top of my class, and first class honours, I tell you!! :P
PS: Supafest today!!! AWESOME CONCERT!!! Will blog once I upload photos!! :D
Happy faces when we finally got a table!
Even more happy faces when our food arrived. This was my Chowdown... AUD16 but oh so totally worth it! Lasted me all the way to dinner! It has few slices of bacon, 2 poached eggs, 1 potato cake, stir-fry mushrooms, 2 sausages, 2 slices of toast, and veggies... I told you it was yum!
After breakfast we decided to walk around Newfarm, I haven't been here eventhough I've lived in Brisbane for about 2 and half years now? Haha... Sad... I know... IT WAS SOOO PRETTY!!
Shops at Newfarm Village I think...
And then... Bryan went C.R.A.Z.Y at Coles... After such a heavy breakfast, he was already deciding what to cook for dinner!! Uyen and I were like... -.-" Full Bryan... we're still full....
Anyway, Bryan went on about having roast potatoes... My reaction to that was, "Only roast potatoes? What are you going to eat with that??". And we spent about maybe 30 minutes trying to decide what to go with roast potatoes... Bryan wanted grilled fish... I thought the fish he wanted was gonna be too fishy... Then I said, why not meat? It'll taste better with potatoes... So he spent walking from the beef section, to the lamb section, to the ham section, back to beef, etc. Finally the chef decided on marinated beef roast!
Our tired faces after spending hours at Coles with Bryan... Oh ya! I forgot to mention that I wasn't supposed to have dinner with them, I wanted to go back to do some uni work. Somehow they managed to convince me to bring my uni stuff over to Uyen's and then we could have scones for high tea, and then dinner... Oops, I forgot to mention that, before the whole roast fiasco, Bryan found a recipe for scones, and decided to bake scones... Yup, like 1 second after discovering the recipe, he went straight to the baking aisle and started grabbing ingredients.
Bryan's happy face mixing the dough kampung style... He came out of the kitchen, went to the balcony door, and plonk down, and starting mixing it with his hands... I just had to get a picture!!
A stranger came to visit while the scones were baking... yah, I know... I was distracted while doing work... haha...
Tadahhh!! End produce of Chef Bryan: sweeten soya milk, with a scone and jam... It smelt good, it looked good, and most importantly... it tasted good!! :) WELL DONE BRYAN!
The roast veges, sitting in the warm oven while waiting to the roast to rest...
You have to admit that it looks pretty good ey? Make you more jealous... IT WAS GOOD!!! Tender and flavourful... just about the perfect roast I would say...
Happy Blessed Easter Everyoneee!!! :)
I had fun this Holy Week actually... Worked for 5 hours and then ponteng half a lecture to go to Holy Thursday mass, fasted until Good Friday service and then buka puasa at a BBQ near the Story Bridge which had amazing views of the city!, shopped and found my 2 fave shoes-of-the-moment-and-prolly-the-year and took the citycat to Easter Vigil on Saturday, and finished the day with pizzas to Man Utd vs Chelsea (which was disappointing but whatever, it's Easter :))... and Sunday? As God rested on the 7th day, so did I... to an extend.. Haha!
So... Last minute plan that we wanted to have Easter lunch, but what we forgot was that, all the supermarkets were closed on Easter Sunday... damn those angmohs! But luckily Bryan's Vietnamese friend, Uyen, found out that the shops in Darra (a Vietnamese suburb) were open... So Bryan and I decided to head down to Darra to see what we can get.
We arrived at Darra to really, Vietnam! The signs were both in Vietnamese and English! I was really amused!!
Too bad the station was under construction so you can't really see the shops... It didn't occur to me to take photos of the shops.. lol.. next time la...
The two chefs at work... The red stuff in the containers are curry spices... One was Malaysian curry powder, and the other hot curry powder if I'm not wrong....
Yahh... Standard bah... LOL! All the regrets come out after exam... "I should have... I shouldn't have..." etc... But... too late! It's OVER!
Went down to Gold Coast during the weekend, the plan was to visit my sick aunt, in the end... But she was too sick for visitors, so I just stayed at my other uncle's house. Say wanna study but I played games, played with the dog, went out on the boat with my cousins, had a dip in the pool, watch ice age 3... But I did study when the guilt came in...
Read all the lecture slides at least twice, did all the homework questions... Even go attempt the practise exam...
I could do the practise exam questions, so confident la go take exam... Check2, sial susah tahap dewa the exam...
Bleahh...
Now emo... I think I can kiss my dean's scholar program goodbye... T.T and what... it's only the 5th week of 2nd year... :(
And it's DONE!!
After all the drama involving, I'm soooo glad it's OVER!! I just hope that we manage to get a reasonable mark...
Fuhhh... I think we did well tho... Seeing that we only did the script 4 hours before presenting, and we manage to write a pretty decent dialogue in like an hour and half. My idea bah to do the counselor-adolescent role play... XD Hopefully we'll get marks for creativity... The tutor seem to like it, hopefully he really does...
You know how sometimes the evaluator says, oh yes, you guys did well, and then you expect you did well, but you got like an average only? I really hope that he genuinely liked it...
But it's over... if it was bad, then it's time to pour more effort into my other assessments, if it was good then it'll be a bonus.. :)
Anyways... 30% test on the coming Monday, and a 1300 word (25%) article review dued on the Wednesday... :(
Busy also can still go watch Alice in Wonderland... terok tok ah...
My assignments due dates damn the very kacaks wor... 23rd March group presentation, 29th statistics midsem exam, 31st article review (1300 words)... Gila mau mampus dy... Then still got homework to do in between those assignments!! My holiday will also macam no holiday... why? coz got an essay dued right after holiday... ciracaks btols!
Times like this I wish I don't have to continue studying... I just wanna relax at home in Kuching, with the nice cool fan, with my ASTRO, and my normally available car to bring me around2...
2 tahun gik Sha... then you finish degree... dongiveupdongiveupdongivup!!!
I'm out of depression againnn!!! WEEEEEE~~
Who knew my laptop had such an impact huh?!! Haha... I feel so energized and happy now I feel like I can flyyyy!!! BECAUSE MY LAPTOP LIVESSSSS!!!!
I just suddenly couldn't get it to start yesterday afternoon, which was weird, 'coz it was fine in the morning... I was sooooo upset... I didn't know WHAT TO DO! It's my entertainment, my source of communication, and my place to vent out frustration or boredom... OH MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME BACK MY LIFE!!
I know I shouldn't rely so much on my laptop... but... it is true... without it... I feel so lost... ahhh... Laptop.. you're my number 1... :) oopsss.. did I say that? TERKANTOI!! Sorry sayang, I still love you... haha...
Aiyaaaa... I'm so annoyed thinking about this again... huhhhh~
So bodoh ba... But in a way it was my fault... and there's nothing I can do...
The story goes like this... I enrolled into this course, but then... because I signed on late, there were no more available tutorials that I can attend. So I emailed the course coordinator and ask her whether I can enter another tutorial. The thing was, she kept replying my emails late, but then again, the sign on for this course was kinda last minute also...
Then yesterday she replied me saying, the other option I can offer you is that you do this course next year. Then start la my stress... Coz I already arranged my timetable, and then I already told my manager my availability when I can work... And then I found the Taekwondo club in uni, and I thought I really wanna join...
So anyway... I thought...fine... screw this course, I enter another course and just do this course next sem. Now my timetable is so screwed up... And because I just enrolled into the new course yesterday, I still haven't got the slides for today's lecture... so I wake up for nothing! Aiyaaa... I could have slept for 1 more hour!
Oh wells... We'll see how things go... :(
My post got nothing to do with Vanilla Twillight or Owl City... Haha... It's just that, it's my favorite song at the moment... It's on replay over and over and over again on my computer and Ipod... I know laaa... Soon I'll be so sick of the song, but like cannot get it off my mind, 'coz the lyrics is soooo what I feel at the moment...
Anywayyy... haha...
Haven't been updating... I know I very teruk la... XD
Been back in Brisbane for like 1 week dy... cun2 1 week la from today... Still miss home... Before I left pun dah miss... what more to say being here... Counting the days until I can be home again... LOL!! It's like in another 8 months plus... Aahhh!! But have to sabar la... Sacrifice lok, then after that can enjoy... kannn? :)
2nd yearrr... What can I sayyy? It's soooo different than 1st year... 1st year really slack la! I must work harder this year... My friends who were in 2nd year last year was telling me how stress and how much workload they have, but I sik cayak... That's why la me... Now jak realise how much work they have to endure...
Aiyaaaa~~ K laa... enough of me complaining...
Over and OUTTTT!
