Aussie Bloggie

I hope I don't develop an accent...... I would kill myself.


I've been here for 3 weeks. The weather is cold. I haven't seen the sun for days. My queen size bed has become a single. I'm starting to pay my own bills. AND I'M LOVIN' IT!!!!!!!!

The worst part of my trip here is that my mum tagged along for 2 weeks. Ahh!!! But now she's gone back and I'm finally without parental supervision. FINALLY!!! That means I've only begun living for about 1 week :D And I finally remembered about my blog....

Some people I met at the airport.
On the right, a Vietnamese exchange student and the left is Ace's senior at UCSI
And a random ah moh at the back
Australia is weird in some ways. People there greet by saying "Hi, how are you?" You think they are all very friendly until the 10000000000th Ang Moh greets you the same way. I eventually learned that their 'Hi, how are you ' greeting is as meaningless as body soap.

Trams and cathedrals. Definitely not Malaysia
In my 3 weeks in the land down under, I have come to appreciate to maze that is KL. I have lived in Malaysia for 18+ years and still find it hard to navigate through the city (not counting walking from one mall to another :P). But I can walk in the city of Melbourne without getting lost using 3 weeks of knowledge. It is THAT organized!!

Even their train stations are cooler!!!
The weather here is nuts. There is 4 season weather EVERYDAY. You never know when it will rain, be sunny, cloudy or be freakin cold. Everyday I leave my room I must bring an umbrella and a coat. One time, it went from 29C to 17C in TWO MINUTES!!!!!

Weather like this is short-lived
And the food!!!! I cannot stop eating!! Tim Tams, Shapes, Brie Cheese!!!!! So much cheaper than back home!! I bought some and am still enjoying it!!!! I'm missing Malaysian junk food but I think I can handle it :X

Look familiar?
 The thing about Aussie. A kg of drumsticks is cheaper that a kg of whole chicken. Fruits are fresh, veggies are not. Snacks are cheap, canned soup is cheap, milk is cheap, bread isn't cheap. They sell Kanga meat.

Read: Kangaroo Mini Roast.
Yum.
I'm living in a place where it is near both the city and the uni. Lucky cause the public transport system here is a nightmare (EXPENSIVE!!) The room is half the size of my room but I don't feel it cause the bed is half the size of my bed. It already has the Nicole touch (Messy) and is comfy!!!

I'm actually happier that I look....
I'm loving my life in Aussie but I won't stop missing Malaysia. I won't stop missing roti canai and teh tarik. I won't stop missing my schizo friends. I won't stop missing eating roti canai, steamboat, Papa Johns with my crazy retarded gang.





I MISS ALL OF YOU!!!!

Moviegasm, Foodgasm, Bookgasm



BOO!! 



Pictured above is Ben-Jie, if he was a chick XD

This was a good week for me. On Thursday, Chern and I went to watch movie. Wondering outside the theaters we came across this poster


 One minute we were looking at it speechless, then the next we BOTH pointed at the chick and said: "Ben-Jie!!" It's true ain't it?

The movie we watched was obviously Nicolas Cage's Season of the Witch. Everyone who reads this blog know that I am a hardcore Nicolas Cage fangirl. So I probably spent half the time looking at him rather than pay attention to the movie :)


How can a dude pushing 47 look so good!
In a nutshell, Nicolas Cage plays Behman, a 14th Century Crusader who is tired of murdering innocent people for the church. Him and his best friend Felson, who is played by Ron Pearlman (aka Hellboy himself!) become nomads travelling the countryside until the come across a village infested with the Black Plague. After finding out about their past, the Head Priest there make them take a witch who is said to be responsible for the plague to a remote monastery where the monks there will decide her fate. Along for the ride are a monk Debelzaq (Stephen Moore), a local knight Eckhart (Ulrich Thomsen), a swindler cum guide Hagamar (Stephen Graham) and an altar boy named Kay (Robert Sheehan). But the witch is not as she seems, she turns their weaknesses into her weapons and may not be what she claims to be...


Hellboy after hours
If Nicolas Cage weren't in this I may still watch this. The storyline was engaging and there were never dull moments. However, the acting was flawed in many ways. I know I am to believe thet Behman and Hellboy were supposed to be best friends but both lacked chemistry other than a few friendly comments.

Whoa there Missy!!
But then Nic Cage IS in it so at least I was entertained. C'mon! When a guy nearly 50 still looks good when wearing what looks like a burlap sack you gotta give him some credit!

Kay
The only reason I tolerate this guy is cause his curly hair reminds me of Darren Criss...... A less cute version...

I shall smolder now.

The movie has a total of 2 LOL moments. Both were probably unintentional, for me anyway. One was when Hellboy headbutts a demon minion not once but twice! Another is when demons were crawling on the damn celling like freaking lizards. THE CEILLING!! REALLY!!?? I totally LMAO'd there!! It looks like something a cheesy horror film would put in!


I knew he had a huge sword!
Overall, a good movie to watch only if you like Nicolas Cage and a supernatural film without much supernaturally things happening.

On Saturday, Esther, Iven, Cat, Jer, Grace and I met in Time square's Papa John's for a *sob* farewell lunch *sob* for me *end sob*. Foodgasms were everywhere as we ate cheese pizzas with traces some carbohydraty thingy at the bottom. I WANT THE PICTURES JEREMY!!! After Papa's was Gelato where more foodgasms happened!!!!

Later, I did a little shopping with Grace before going to one of my most favouritest place in the world.

Borders!!!!

I am such a nerd


I saw some interesting books there too

Children's books
Wow. Just wow. I remember reading Peter and Jane when I was young. This makes the corny classic even BETTER!


HP POP UP!!!!!! I WANT!!!!!!


I bought this book. Disney Hyperion. Hard Cover. EPIC!!!! I looked for this book for ages!!!!


Lightning Thief Graphic Novel!!!!! LOVE!!!!! It cost about 50 bucks so like any Malaysian, I spent an hour reading this in the bookstore and then retured it to the shelf. :) But I loved it!! The storyline was changed slightly for the graphic novel but at least it wasn't as mangled as the movie.

BOOKGASM!!!!!

And to make my day even better, Rick Riordan posted the latest cover for the new Kane Chronicles!!



I'm so happy :')

5S2009 Reunion

Last Saturday, 14 former classmates gathered in Shabu One at Lot 10 to celebrate their class reunion.

Wow, I sound so formal up there XD Need a better intro..... Oh! How about...

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, 14 people in their late teens went on a journey across the galaxy in search of...... Shabu One Restaurant.........

Eh, no. Too Star Wars-y

Hmmm..... How about:

Last Saturday, a bunch of us Ex-Connaughtions gathered in Shabu One for a reunion. We had joy, we had fun, we had lotsa, lotsa food!!






(Better)






As you can see from my 3 introductions, I'm pretty bored right now. I'm still fantasizing about prawns, honey chicken wings, durian ice cream and semi-cooked beef. MMMmmmmm




(A/N OK I've not only been bored, T've been busy and procrastinating too ^^. I'm only human!)



In Shabu One, steamboat was the main dish. However, they had some food already prepared for those (me!) who are too lazy to wait for the steamboat to cook.....



Honey Barbecued Chicken Wing..... Delicious.....




Crab . First thing to cook, last thing to eat.
Shabu One Signature Sauce.

King sauce, sesame oil, parsley, spring onion and quail egg



Because we had so many people, we had to split between 2 tables






One table



Other table.
Notice tha sausage in Seng Heng's chopstick. Me and Keng Lim had fun with it hehhehehee. You guys know how some food will expand when boiled in water. Well, I said that was Seng's long lost "weiner" expanded 10x ^^




Sam drinking red bean soup with a ladle. He finished with 2 ladle fulls ><





The aftermath. Alice looks so stuffed!

Silence


I have been silent for far too long!!!!!

Damn presentations!! Can't you let me enjoy my after holiday holiday!! T.T The day I came back to school 2 weeks ago was the day hell started all over again. English presentation, bio presentation, psychology presentation. T3T Too much man!!

What it the world was wrong woth me in January when I chose to do a report on cholesterol for English!? Stupid stupid stupid!!! Oh well, at least I did suicide for Bio. Weird thing was, My Eng report was too scientific while my bio report was not scientific enough..... Sigh....... You can't please everybody.
At the very least I think I chose a fantastic topic for Psycho: Schizopherenia!!! I think it pays homage to all those that I've met and known who have this disease. (Mel, Iven, Ace, Grace and almost everyone in that retard drama group XP) Lookout world, my presentation is next week!!!

Skitzoes!!!

Now back to research.....

Midterms

MIDYEAR EXAM!!!!!!!

Since I AM taking he SAM course means I have no time to relax, everything counts!!! This means I have to do well in midterms otherwise I won't achieve my dream of TER90. Hmmm....... Starting to regret my decision, but at least it's better than Form 6 (It's currently orientation week for them) or A-levels ( I don't feel like wasting 18 months).

I;m envying people who have never started studying since SPM. (You know who you are)

I just noticed something, everytime I want to type Google, I tend to type out Facebook instead.... Is that weird or does it happen to you guys too?

LAst but not least............. GRACE!










Apparantly I cannot make it bigger thanks to blogger. Oh well






Somehow this picture reminds me of Grace. Or more appropriately, her laugh.

Hahahahhahahhaahhaahhahahahahahahaah!!!!!!111

ƃolq uʍop ǝpısdn

I've learnt how to type upside down!!!!

¡¡¡¡¡ʎɐʎ

Lol.

Anyways, I havent been blogging for a long time. Just because college is so damn boring and I don't get to see my old friends like I used to :(

So what's new in my life, hmmm. Well, my mid-year exam is coming and I haven't started studying as usual. Somehow, even in college, I don't feel much urgency.

Oh yea!!! I went to this place "Pasta Zanmai". It's this jap restaurant serving pasta dishes. Yea, it sounds weird. I didn't like the thought either and a frend confirmed it either. So whhen I tasted the dishes the, the first thought in my mind was: "FUCK YOU (insert name of friend)!!!!!"

The food there was delicious. No pictures because I devoured it before I can remember. I had grilled jap beef with onsen egg and salmon pasta. MMMmmmm....... Then later washed it down with unagi pizza with an onsen egg on top......


The picture is actually chicken but I couldn't find the eel one....

Finally, I've just found out that a friend has started bloggerg. Yay!! Always nice to have a new kid on the block. I haven't checked it out yet cuz she so unkindly didn't tell me the url. But anyway, everyone join me to welcome the newest member of the blogging community..........Grace!!!

Pleasure Before Pain

NO!!!! Not that pleasure......

I got my SPM results on Thursday. 10 A!!!!! 5 A+!!!! English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and EST!!!! Whoot!!! I would have killed myself if I did not get A+ for Eng and Math but getting that high for Physics! Wow......

Celebrated by going to Neway and then I was whisked off to Wonderland. Even beneath all that makeup, Johnny Depp is still HAWT!!!! I wanna learn how to dance the........er.........DANCE!!!


One of my favourite stills
You gotta love the white eyelashes.....

Cute Kitty!!!!

Me and Ivy were gushing about Chesh.... He's sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo CUTE!!!!!

One of the best day of my life.......

However..........

The pain came 2 days later in the form of an injection. The injection itself didn't hurt, but I think the Doc hit a nerve. My arms been sore for hours. Even now, I'm typing one-handed. I can't do push ups today.......
