The End

I think I have not update this blog for awhile, and I am sure I won't have the time to write anymore (excuses).

So I am declaring this entry as the last entry for this Live Your Life to the Fullest blog. This does not mean I will not live my life to its fullest, just I don't have the time and strength to write it anymore.

Just a quick update before I go off forever, I recently got a PhD scholarship from CSIRO! Hence I will be heading to Brisbane at the end of this month. So the mean time, I will be busy with my life, to even write this (excuses again). I will definitely miss Melbourne a lot, especially the St Kilda beach and the wonderful people in this magnificient city...... But I have to go wherever my dream brought me to.

There are so many stuffs I wanted to tell, but I will leave them for you to ask me personally (for those who knows me).

Finally I would like to thanks those who supported me throughout the thick and thin, through moral support or financially (I don't think anyone did for the latter one). Thank you so much for listening to my ranting, in real life or over here in the blog, or both.

So till then,

Goodbye/Ciao/Adious/Sayonara/Au Revoir

Living On Your Own

After being away for so long, I finally get my arse to write something better and nothing about job hunting. Yeah, put that aside, people have heard enough from me the past few months.

I am actually going to ramble about the ability to live alone or on your own. Not a lot of people can do that. A lot of people are dependent or just like to stay in their own comfort zone. After staying on my own, I am those other people who can't live with their family anymore. Dread the idea of having to explain everything that I do/did to a second person. This is something I noticed that those people who can't live on their own seems to have very childish cute ( I am being polite) behavior. Example?

1. Don't eat anything that has bone. Need your mommy to de-bone them before you can put them into your mouth.

2. Complain on the weather being too hot while still wearing jeans at home. Or just plain sulking and complaining for no apparent reason. Okay, I might complain nonstop sometimes, but I always look for solutions and way to solve the problem. So there is different between plain complaining and complaining without thinking.

3. Cooking by the mean of zapping up frozen foods from the fridge and maybe some juice. Yeah, you will get all the nutrients just by the juice itself! What a good idea.

4. Spend money without thinking, i.e. camera, lifestyle, clothings, and etc.

5. Drink water upon asked/yelled by your mommy. Don't you think you can go away with not showering, and sleeping.

6. Oh waking up only when the sun shine onto your arse. Or with your mom shrieking for you to wake up. I am not saying it for certain days, but almost everyday. Asking parents to wake you up is slightly too pampering. If you can't wake up for the interview, then too bad. The fault is at yours.

7. Most of the wrong-doing is not your fault. Yeah, so NOT your fault.

8. I don't know what to say anymore. If I do find someone who is like this, I might add to the list. So for now, that will be it.....

And why I hate to stay with my relative (here comes my complain again, run away before you are traumatised by what I have said

1. I hate my freedom being restricted. I know when to sleep, and when not to sleep. I don't need you to yell at me to go to sleep. I definitely don't want you to do so.

2. I hate the fact my privacy is invaded every hour. Something to do with freedom, but more specific. I don't want you to walk into my room to see me watching porn (that has not happen yet).

3. I don't like people questioning everything (those nitty gritty stuffs) that I do. I know something they might not be up to a certain standard, but this is what I want it to be done. So be it.

4. I hate reporting my work to another person (those nitty gritty stuffs again).

5. This is the worst one. I hate being treated like a child. I am a young adult now, I definitely don't want to be treated like a kid. All the curfew and restriction could drive me nuts to the core.

But I guess everyone has to adapt for the time being. Those homey kid will have to adapt to their independent life and mine has to adapt to this caged life (for the time being).

Happy Chinese New Year

Just came back from a reunion dinner with my aunt's side. Very full and could not bother to write any cover letter or resumes, so might as well write this blog which I have abandoned for awhile..... Yeah, the banquet was awesome! Lobsters (I reckon it is only crayfish, I am not going to tell you the different between lobsters and crayfish, to the Australian there are differences), prawns, scallops, etc etc. I am sure my cholesterol level is up to the roof right now..... Better do some exercise tomorrow....

I am sorry guys for abandoning this blog. I have been trying hard to get a job and anything on the way. So I don't have much mood to write anything because I have been writing almost everytime I appear offline. Besides, being addicted to MSN, and people keep messaging me it is not a good thing AT ALL.

Before I forget, Happy Chinese New Year! I am still in Melbourne, not going back till March (when Chinese New Year is long gone). To me it is another day. But I am still a Chinese regardless where I am. I will still try to practise what I was told to since I was young. Something to hold on to before I lost myself completely. Which won't happen, that's for sure.

Okay, I am going to chat with more hot people. Yeah, the weather now is so hot, everyone is hot! Hahahaha. Till then, I am not sure when, but till then! Please hug on your own huggies and wait for my new entry (which could be soon or forever).

A New Year with a Bang

It is definitely more than A Bang. A few bangs actually! But these stuffs are too raunchy for this pure and innocent blog of mine. There are heaps of people who think that 2008 is bad. A lot of people experienced their worst (if not worst of the worst) time of their life in 2008. If I were to start complaining, I reckon my 2008 is not as bad as some other people. Who lost their love one, and/or their daily income with 10 mouths to feed, or both.

I suppose finishing my Honours degree is one of the good event. But things just went down hill later at the end of 2008. Heaps of mates said that 2009 is a new year, that this will be a better year. But is it? I am not sure myself. My future is not bright enough to tell. But it is only a matter of time (so I would like to think). At the same time, this bleak time has brought me some of the unexpected gift that I am so grateful for. These unexpected gift is not a pot of gold. It is a group of friends and family to be exact. Of course I know mates are quite important to me, but these time, they are the one who encouraged me to keep going on, not to lose hope and faith. I would like to think so, my patience is kind of running low though. Another unexpected gift is about myself, which I have said the past entry (too lazy to link it, so find it yourself).

Everyone is saying 2009 is a better year rite.

I would just like to look at the optimistic side, which I can hardly do it. I know all I need to do is to lift my head up and look at the blue summer sky when I am down. Hoping I can reach the sky while I am barely walking on the surface.

Oh no, a new year with a quite emotive entry....... I hope this year won't be an emo year for me. I am just too tired, end up being emo because I did not have enough sleep last night. I was partying hard and had only a few hours of sleep. I need to stay awake until maybe 10.30pm because I do not want to wreck my 2009 sleeping pattern......

Happy New Year mate! I hope it will be a wonderful and joyous year for all of you!

The Love Hate Relationship with CK Undies

Disclaimer: This entry will increase any pro-shopaholic urge to purchase thing out of impulse. If any incident happened, this has nothing to do with this author.


Xmas is rather boring occasion for me. This year is mostly dinner with relative on Xmas Eve and watch Christmas TV programs. Xmas itself was beautiful, sunny 25 degree day but no friends wanted to go out with me, they were busy with their Church, so I was left alone......

Anyway, apart from that, there is something I have been looking forward to! Boxing Day Sales!!!!! I have talked about this day since 2 months ago! Just imagine how anticipating I was! I was hoping I'd have started working, so I can go crazy and start buying all the CK undies that I want. Alas, this dream did not come true. Maybe next year then!

So today I woke up at 6am. Yes, you hear me right, 6 am! And step out of the house 1 hour later with my cousin for the shopping extravaganza! Reached the CBD at 7.30am and it was already quite full with people, especially Myers Supermarket which opened at 5am today!

The first place we attacked? Underwear section! Most of the size were depleting, but there are still some nice one. Trying to keep myself spending a fortune over there, so I end up buying only ONE CK underwear....... I wasn't very happy about this....

Anyway, My cousin was having this impulsive purchases cause things were quite cheap over there. And when were at the Basement, he brought more stuffs while I was stuck with oversized short shorts or one size too small short. I was even more pissed......

Until I finished our very quick morning tea (sushi from Sushi Sushi), I walked into this magnificent shop and I found my Short Shorts!!!!!! I love short shorts (more pictures below), and they actually have size!!!!! So I was out with two lovely purchases!

Then followed by a few after that, all in Melbourne Central! So after 6 and half hours of retail therapy we finally gave up. I was kinda broke, but I did not over spent! Which is a Plus!!!! I was planning to spend only $150 for today, looking at the amount of zeros in my bank, and I only spend $140!!!!

Okay, I was busy shopping, didn't have time to sit and take pictures. So these are the pictures I took when I was going home, and when I am at home (after rejuvenated from my slumber nap!)
Levi's outlet store at DFO (Direct Factory Outlets). People acted as if the stuffs in the shops are free. A bloody long queue for Guess shop over there as well..........

My purchases!!!!! I don't know why they are upside down, can't seems to do anything about that. So please don't strain your neck by looking at them. Cause I have them in individual photo!

Can you see me naked from the reflection? This arvo is a bit hot to wear any tees! Got them cause my old one is spoiled on the day itself. Just so lucky to have this for only $10!

My Short shorts!!!!! If they have anything shorter, I will have brought them!!!!!
My two shirts, I can't seems to find anything I want, and by the time I have mood to buy them, I have already reached my limit....
Happy me with my happy purchases!!!!!

I am not doing this

Yes, you hear me right. I am not going to write what stupid new year resolution this year. I don't reckon I had done any most of the year. Cause I know I won't able to keep the promise (to myself). I can keep promises with other people, but not with myself. hehehehe

So I refuse to make any this year. Even though I refuse, everyone knows what I my resolution is about. I know that myself very well too. Just not going to say it out loud here. hahaha.

Then there is this again, where people sum up whatever they did for this one whole year. Some of them did it perfectly well, others were just blah...... I did heaps of stuffs this year, and I mostly forgotten what they were. So this year I am not writing this as well. Hahahahaha.

So basically I don't know what I am going to write about. Maybe I dont know.


*******************

Okay, I was going to disclose something very funny. I stay in western suburb of Melbourne, and I usually take public transport to the city CBD. So a few months ago, there is this GOLDEN "KUAN YING", yes, those who know what it is, I cant believe this either. So it is one of the Goddess in Buddhism and Taoism. I don't know which one, don't ask me. So there is this golden Kuan Ying on one of the park next to the railway.

I always find it interesting to see how people reach when the that golden statue. Curiosity fills their mind, and some were awgh-ing away. Some were so curious that they went look at it with a frowned eye for at least 1 minute. Mind you the train is quite fast, and you don't get to see it for a long time.

So I was there thinking. If it were to be a Huge Silver/Golden Cross. No one will pay attention to that. But because this is something foreign, they were looking with awe and curiosity. So maybe next time when you are on Werribee or Williamstown line, look at your left for the statue and the reaction people have when they see this this. It is sitting between the South Kensington and Footscray station!

Oh Merry Xmas everyone!

Crazy and Sick (days)

Yay, finally something that is not a complain entry or unemployment related. Oh wait, I just said those words out in the first paragraph, first sentence..... Oh well. Yeah, I am so freaking busy last Friday, Saturday and today! I love my weekends!!!!!!

Anyway, I was about to say something about last Friday, but since Ammie had already blogged about that, I will just let you read her entry about our night! So go check her blog out! See Ammie I am promoting your blog. You better give me a good Kris Kringle, if we are doing this thing this year. Anyway, I am still sick. Have to go for the show cause I have already brought the ticket, and that's the place I am dying to go. It is called Aunty Mavis in Stocking Stuffer and Tuckey Plucker. That's a cabaret cum musical stand up comedy, nothing about cha cha dance or lifting skirts. By the way Aunty Mavis is played by a guy, I don't think people will want to see his sack.

I must say his work is very entertaining, singing Tiger Balm in replacing Jingle Bell. Giving audience his/her "meat pie" or should I say share the meat pie, and his/her rummy balls that she brought from Down Low. That's a very good pun, and she is basically giving out rum balls. I think sometimes it has a lot of gay terminology and jokes! Go check out what Down Low means.

The night was just marvelous, but there were some hiccups. I won't disclose them here, you can ask Ammie what happened.

*****

Saturday was a lot of shopping, I did most of the walking and someone did most of the shopping. Haha. I am just too broke to shop. Keeping the money till Boxing Day! Bwahaahaha.

*****

Here comes today! Stay back for most of the day, before joining my aunt to her Mahjong Xmas Break-up Party. It is just a normal party with all of the mahjong people having a great dinner and endless amount of wine/champaynes.

But what so fascinating is, I MET HAMISH BLAKE!!!!! For those who has not heard of Hamish Blake, he is one of the comedian very well known in Australia. He is freaking funny but very down to earth kinda guy. If you want to know more, Google him out!

So we parked just outside Lentil As Anything, one of my favorite restaurants in Melbourne, in St Kilda, I saw this guy that parked at the side of the road. When he came out, I was thinking, he looked so much like Hamish Blake. When he walks towards us, I am so sure He IS Hamish Blake. I was pretty nervous, no chill running through my spine though. And this is what our short conversation went:

Me: (fractically) Are you Hamish?
Hamish himself: Yes!
Me: (speechless because I am just stunt and blurred)
Hamish himself: How are you going?
Me: (he actually asked me how m I going?) I am good! And yourself?
Hamish himself: Yeah I am good too.

And we went our own way. He probably want to grab some tea himself, before his car (MINI COOPER) be towed away. I am so speechless and happy because you rarely get to see any celebrities, let alone someone you really admire. He is the person who cheered my gloomy days and not so good days. If you want to know whether he is cute or not, look at the picture below. He is the one on the left.

I have thought of showing you guys some of his work. But being a computer idiot, I have no idea how to put Youtube up into blogspot. Will try to put my hand into it. So for now, you guys will have to go the link instead.....
