World Cup 2010 is Officially Hereeee!!!
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

Kaamatan/Gawai Dinner on the 31/06/2010
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...
Aren't we smart? Haha!! I actually had to pound my pork marinade as well, I felt so bad, 'cause I didn't wanna wake my housemates up. But apparently I didn't make a sound.... LOL! When Bryan was pounding the belacan paste, if you close your eyes, you could just imagine that you're being transported back home... plus the smell really enhanced the experience as well!!
By the way, I REALLY did throw the garlic!! Just to set the record straight!
I have to say that the ayam pansuh (chicken) was really good, considering the fact that we couldn't find turmeric leaves, or tapioca leaves, or bamboo. Instead of cooking it in bamboo as it suppose to be, we improvised again with aluminum foil.

Black out....
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!! :)

SUPAFEST 2010
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.
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!!!
:)
Next up was....
He was good... But you know his songs, like, even if we knew the lyrics, you just can't seem to be able to sing along or rap along with him. LOL! So... the crowd was like... lalalalalala... I got the right temperature... lalalalala...
Well, at least, I was doing that... lol... I know... I'm sad... but I can't do Sean Paul... XD
Guess who came on next?? Everyone went WILD just knowing he was gonna come out!!
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...
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...
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!!
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!!

Epic Day with Epic People with Epic Food
So, this was on Sunday (11th of April, 2010)... Bryan has been telling about this super yum breakfast place at Newfarm, and so we've been planning to have breakfast there for quite sometime now, just that we hadn't had the time to actually go.
The night before, Mr Bryan Wee made a brilliant plan to go for 8a.m. mass and then head down to Newfarm to have breakfast, and then not having to worry to rush to church after that. So... I thought, yup, that sounds like a brilliant plan!
I slept at 1.30am that night, and had to dragggg my body out of bed at 7am, so that I could catch the 7.30 bus with Bryan to the city. You have no idea how hard it was to wake up that morning, but since I didn't have credit on my handphone, I had no choice!
I was jaywalking all the way from my house to the bus stop, and just at the intersection to the bus stop, I SAW MY BUS!! But there were cars so I couldn't just jaywalk across the street! As soon as the last car pass the traffic light, heck cares if it was still red, I dashed across the road and made it just in time! And guess what? He wasn't in the bus... I didn't give it much thought, 'coz I thought I might have caught an earlier bus than supposed to...
Reached church, still no show... After mass still no show... Then I got a text... He woke up late... LOL... So I waited in the city for Bryan and Uyen to arrive so that we can tackle the yummy breakfast!
Got a bus, reached Newfarm, walked a bit to the Breakfast place... It was at a French, cafe called Au Cirque... THE QUEUE WAS SO LONG!!! sorry no pics, 'coz it didn't occur to me to take photos then.. haha... Anyway, the wait was so worth it!!
I forgot to take a picture while they were all roasting together.... so bare with me...
THANK YOU BRYAN AND UYEN FOR A WONDERFUL DAY OUT AND FOR CONVINCING ME TO STAY FOR DINNER!!!

HAPPY EASTER!!!
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...
This is the pandan soya milk.... Very subtle pandan flavour... it tasted just like normal soya milk... I like it!! And it's not that expensive too.. $2.50 for 2 litres...
Our ulam... Yummyyy!! Dip in cincalok sause... mouth watering now thinking about it...
The end product of the curry... It was so good!! It didn't feel fatty 'coz Reuben didn't cook it with santan.. which tasted actually really good! So long dy haven't eated spicy curry... and the cincalok was spicy too... And to cool it off, watermelon for desert!! so it was all yummm!!! :D
After everything I suddenly realised, HEY!! We didn't have Easter eggs, or chocolates!! Haha... oopsss.... But at least it was a healthy YUMMY lunch!!

Exam Emoness
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... :(

First Assessment of the 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... :(

Early Stress?
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... :(
