Yes. You get my title alrite. This morning I went to an awesome public orgy. For those of you who doesn't know what is orgy, please google it before continue this entry.
Today when I detached from my friend's group to this orgy event, it was pretty rough even in the entrance! Huge crowds and they were from different corner of this world! Like any normal happening events, there will be bouncer at the main gate and prepare to bounce on anyone who looked suspicious. I have been there a few times before, so I know the place on the tip of my fingers. Right from the entrance, I walked into a narrow isle into the main orgy hall. There were a few people going out already, but of course people who are going in outnumbered the people leaving the party.
Once in the main orgy hall, the scenes kinda freaked me out. Underwear are lying everywhere, and bath-robes hanging on the stand ruggedly. In the beginning I tried to watch out for those belongings when I was walking through the hall, but after awhile, I no longer give a damn. After all, they are not mine.. There were signs everywhere on the wall, with people on every corner. People have already started their foreplay long before I come in. Touching and caressing their privates, stroking each other's outer layer to choose and compare. Plastics were scattered on the ground near the foreplay party corner.
After having a bit of foreplay myself, I went for the main course. What a fine pun. As it is an orgy, of course there have to be one or two main character in the party. Today was Remy and Godzle. Long queue of guys were waiting impatient on each sides. I even saw some gals in the queue, they could be lesbian. Of course there are still heaps of people going on with their foreplay. But they are none of my concern, Remy and/or Godzle are my priority.
Finally I reach to the end of the queue. Godzle serves me, thank god! No offense Remy, but she is kinda old, I am not sure she can handle me that well or not. I sprinkle some of my fruits to Godzle, wrapping and have a bit of chat. Then before I know it, I was pushed off by another guy who is waiting impatiently for the line to end. These youngster, always try to rush this good party......
After that, all I have to do is go back to my friend's outing, but as always I need to undergo an whole-body check, fearing I bring any illegals out.
Well guys, this is my orgy experience! My Orgy at Myer Department Store Underwear Section! Don't you think of anything funny. Okay?

Third Time is a Charm
I was pretty happy yesterday! Three good events happening on that single day! The first thing: My method for Hexadecane sample analysis worked with the standards! So there are something for me to look after, after the New Year!!!!! The second thing: My iPod Classic finally arrived! And it is in good conditions and all. I will further explain it in details. And the last thing: Xmas dinner and outing with Honours coursemates!
They make it on Monday, because Laura still have a defense on that morning. So the night is the time she finally get to enjoy herself for good!!!! We began the outing by having a nice dinner at Angelina's. It is Christmas!!! With a Christmas tree and candle!
The dinner was okay. Not that it is a rip off, and it that fantastically nice either. I've got a Homer Simpson's mug from Laura and a bottle of wine from Micheal! I love that mug, anyway I am a big fans of Homer Simpsons!!!!! (might post that mug soon).
The Honours Office occupants! Except Royce. From Left: Laura, Me, Micheal, Royce and Jacinta.
After dinner, we were too free, so we had a photo-taking frenzy. Took photos like crazy, from different cameras. I thought I will be the only one who brought along a camera, instead Micheal, Andre, and Jacinta did brought along theirs too.
After the dinner, we were planning to go for a show. But none of the movie were any good at that time. Instead of going to Laura's place for a movie marathon, we went for bowling.
It was nice, after how many years of absence on the bowling track.
The balls.
Royce showing his Turkey strike, while Laura waiting to clear the gutter.
Jacinta giving out a shriek when she got a spare.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next is my ipod classic!!!! My wife, My baby!!!!
Ipod Classic, Silver, 80Gb
She finally arrived! I was so desperate to have it, that I walk all the way to Jason's place to grab my baby. Yep, it was sent to Jason place, because he helped me to buy using his card. Came back, straight away charged for 3 hours. It wasn't that expensive to buy it from Apple website, just A$350 while Ipod nano is about A$200. Isn't it crazy? With extra 150 bucks, you can get extra 76Gb. And of course I will buy the bigger space one. After coming back from the outing, I went straight to my room to grab a few photos of this beauty!
I have it engraved for free! Too bad you can't see it. Well if you really want to know what is the engrave, come and ask me when I was listening to it!!!!! Now, it is still too delicate, that I dare not use it as often. I scare that I might make a scar or mark on the mirror back or the cliche front. I am going to buy a case for that! And I am ready to roll with my ipod!!!!!

To Hug or Not To Hugz
These days my life is pretty stress. I guess so is everyone. Xmas is nearing and everyone are trying to finish off their work for the year. Husbands and working people might be rushing to finish their part of their work for the year, housewife might be rushing to prepare for the celebrations. Guys might be busy repairing their house or cars for the new year, while girls will be busy with shopping for Xmas.
Today was a total disaster. After the whole day sitting in front of the fumehood, only that I realised that the stuffs I was using is not the correct substances.... So means I need to start again. This doesn't sound good. Two weeks to holiday, and I need to start all over again.... I pray hard to finish it by end of this week.
Since now is the festive season, I might talk about something related to festivals. I, being a semi-conservative person; a kinda open person but still hold on to his roots, find it awkward during some of the time. Looking the locals hug and cheek-kissing each other every time they meet, makes me wonder heaps. I only hug my friends on some occasions (those who are going away, or I might see soon). Maybe it is because of our cultures. Hugging Asian gals upon meeting is definitely a no no. But hugging Aussie gals during the first meeting might be a bit awkward. This is what I felt. I am not sure about others, but I am not that person who will get close and personal in 5 minutes. Of course I have some local friends, and I do hug them (definitely gals) after awhile, only after I became closer to them.
I still remembered last year during Chinese New Year, when I was celebrating with my aunt's relative, I have this awkward vibe when my aunt's sister in-law came over to bid me goodbye. I can see she was thinking whether to hug or shake hand with me, thinking I am a Chinese and rarely do they hug with others. So it turns out to be semi-hug-semi-handshake. AWKWARD.
Okay, enough of crapping. I need to write my report...... It might be holiday and festive season for others, definitely not for me this time this year. Hope for the better future next year!

My Casual Works and MCG!
I have not been updating my blogs for quite awhile. I was pretty busy with my lab works... It is almost the end of the year and I need to finish my first part of the Honours project. Besides I finally find a job. Yes! Me with a job! Last year I thought I waste my money to apply for a work permit, but now it is off good use!
Finally, without any interview or resume sending routine, I got 2 jobs, from the same research centre! It is Australian Sustainable Industry Research Centre (ASIRC), you guys might heard of it because previously I was doing my Third Year project in this place! So they are pretty much know me! Okay okay, first job is as Colour Monitorist. So from the name you will know that it is about monitoring the colour. What I do is I monitor the colour in the paper run in Australian Paper. I can't talk much about this because everything I do is private, I might get sued if I elaborate more, so talk about the wages! It is 20 bucks per hour and the job is a shift job. My night shift is about 50 bucks per hour!!!!! But I need to work from 12am to 8am....
Don't think that I am rich from these kind of work. The stupid Australian government tax me about 20% of my pay. So means I was left very little after the taxing..... But I have planned what I wanna buy from that money.
The second job is something related to my studies!!!! Bioremediation of oily sludges too!!!! Now in the beginning, I get paid just to write literature review! 20 bucks per hour for me to write up a lit. review, which I count it as a normal assignment! So isn't it good? Instead of writing an assignments, it becomes a work and I get paid! After that I will need to work maybe 2-3 days per week, = more money to the government through tax. Anyway I am happy that I got this job, cause my future resume will look very nice!
I have planned to spend all those money on electronic gadgets like ipod and cool sound systems! And of course I need to save some money for my Aussie PR application.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday, I was invited by Rona to attend this Melbourne University End of the Year Party! I went back to city just for that, pretty awesome to be able to dine in MCG! This blog is mostly about the tour in MCG, if you wanna know more, go to Moomoolanders to have look! Okay, this is a rare opportunity, for me to stand on the ground of MCG, where people in white and zink lotion play their balls with sticks in summer, and guys with short sleeve and shorts kicking and catching oval balls in winter (Cricket and Aussie Football).
I just write heaps of stuffs over that Moomoolander's blog, so I am pretty knacked.
Do I look like the coach or team captain being interviewed by the media? Oops, there is no microphones.
Pretty Rona, on the poor man seats. I reckon their are the cheap seats, since they are so damn high and hard to view the game from up there.
Me on the poor man seats as well. Oh well, we are poor, so need to seat on those seats.
The dinner was pretty nice. And heaps more picture on foods in the Moomoolander's blog. Oh after taking picture with this famous tour guide of ours, we walked into a row of waitress and waiter, holding all sorts of drinks! Beers, champagne, red wine, white wine, and others!
Well this is the working life in Australia! At the end of year, you will have all sorts of party and business events! Next week I will have another end of the year party, this time with ASIRC! I was just hired last month and now I am invited to attend their party! So it is good to start work at the end of the year, then you pretty much spends most of the time attending parties! But of course, I am still doing my Honours, so can't really enjoy this month as others.......

Thank to Blog
Today is my first day at the casual work, as colour monitorist in Australian Paper. Basically the job is alright, sit at the office and form a good structure for spiders to make their cobweb. But when machines start going crazy, it also affect us, but the engineer is the one who are going to scratch their head! Hahaha. Oh well, for the sake of money, I will keep on working in this place. Twice every month, so shouldn't complain so much.
I reckon, MSN is pretty useless these days. Why so? Well the fact that after our degree, everyone are just too busy with their busy routine (some might not call that a life, a lifeless life). Some might be completely disappeared from the MSN world, others might be super duper busy with their stuffs even when they are online. Others friends who gone apart no longer has the common ground to chat.
Then, I used to think that Friendster or MySpace is a good place to know a friend's whereabout. But these days, they seem to be busy to update those stuffs as well. The favorite movie is still The Day After Tomorrow, even that movie have been removed from screen since two years ago.
So what is the next best thing? That you still can get in touch with your friends' lives. Well here comes the blog. I am kinda glad with this, although years to come, it may not be useful. But for the meantime, I felt like I can somehow get involved in my friend's life via their long-whined entry or just pictorial posts. You will get to know what is happening in their lives, how do they feel and their experiences. Unlike friendster or myspace, where you seem to think everything is in good conditions and the world is a never-ending happy place.
Of the cons of blog is some people are just too lazy to write up anything. Just don't have the mood to write up anything? But to some of the hardworking souls, I thank you for making my office life wonderful (yep, I like to read blogs in my office)!
Way to go Blog!

Penang Chiak in WH33
Sorry guys for the hiatus, been busy being a maid to clean the whole damn house and moving from one house to another...... Can you believe, in this one and half years, I have moved 6 times.... SIX times. I can soon be a professional mover.
I have been looking forward for Saturday for the last 1 week. Really looking forward for the Penang Chiak by three of us, Penangites who still stuck in Moomooland: Jason, Wayne and me. So we make an excuse to cook and talk cock (crap). Besides Wayne is going away soon, so we might as well give him a small small farewell party or some sorts. We are definitely not going to party because the voting for Australian election was up. We were watching Star Wars instead of the Election.
The morning before, we were planning to have a swim. But, because of my cramps on my left leg, I need to abandon the plan and left Jason to swim alone in the big pool. My cramps could be due to the fact that I drove manual car after donkey years and my left leg was hanging in the air most of the time because I need to prepare to step the clutch..... Anyway I will talk about that next time!
So instead of swimming, we went to Midvalley to buy all those ingredients. There is no Laksa's noodles (the Assam Laksa's noodles) so we need to go with kuey teow instead (rice noodle). We have Wing Tse to join us, because she is our housemate and we can't just drop kick her aside right?! So she get to taste all the good Penang foods, which were cooked by threebig Penang chefs. After we had the appetizer, which was Fake Shark Fin's soup, only I realised that we need to take the photos of our foods, and make everyone drools like waterfall coming out of their big-round-cave-look-a-like-mouth-that-could-contains-flies-instead-of-bats. Therefore these are the pictures for our lil-Penang-kia-makan-party!
Jason wanted to make an extra dessert as well, something like Grilled Peaches, that need heaps of sugar, and eggs.... So we drop that idea since all of us are so damn full, not Wayne though. Wing Tse who can't drink alcohol looks like a bit drunk after drinking the Lychee punch. But I reckon she is being bored. Because with 3 Penangites in the house, they HAVE TO speak Penang Hokkien with each other. This dialect is what brought us together in the first place.

The whole table, without Wayne's Char Kuey Teow. Look how clean is our table, I bloody clean it before the party. In normal days, it is full with stuffs from our local housemates.
Jason Chan's Asam Laksa (I know when people see Laksa, they will definitely think of Curry Laksa, but since Penang is a unique place, she have uniques name for all their foods. Unlike other places!)
Description: It is not as spicy as the one in Penang, but the taste really brings back memories! I miss the sourish and spicy foods!

My Fried Belachan Chicken. Sorry guys I didn't bother making them into the best formations. Cause I am actually drooling and I am a person who emphasised on the taste of the foods, not the presentation.
Description: The belachan taste is nice enough! A bit salty for some people's taste but I like heaps of belachan in it. I am the chef remember! Just follow the Law!!!!

His creations, with my photography skills after I am full and in good mood to take some good pictures. At that time, my Belachan chicken are all gone.
Description: Although there is no bean sprouts (Wayne just can't find the bean sprouts, but got scolded by us for being so smart to miss out the bean sprout section.... And there is no fish cakes. But it taste quite nice. I reckon he put enough of oils to make it shiny and oily.

I was busy putting the natta de coco into the cups with Jason drooling and looking desperately for water.
There you goes, this is my dessert drinks (Lychee punch). With a pinch of vodka!
Description: You can taste sweetness from the lychee, and some sour taste from the lemon. And most importantly the vodka taste is there!

Catch the Cue, Mate. Not the Pool Cue
Disclaimer: This entry is a mere prediction expressed by Lex the author. Any offense should regards as a mere crap.
Past few entries post by Rona in Moomoolander is about a story which I reckon is rather crappy and this related to my entry as well! These are the Links: Crap Story and The After Crap Story. Okay, just to give you a rough idea (for those who are too lazy to see the link), it is a story about a New York guy saw a Melbournian gal in the subway in New York. Call it love at first sight or just mere craziness, he is in loved. But he acted too slowly, and he missed the boat when the gal walk out of the train carriage. However this doesn't stop him, he made a website in search for that gal and hoping someone will reply him with some answer of her whereabouts. And like fairy-tales stories or chick flicks, someone found the gals and they are now happily taking subways together......
Call me pessimist or plain idiot, I don't really believe such thing. If so, why the bloody hell are we still single? Okay, I might have the answer. The answer is: that guy's inner voice is not loud enough. Why so? I will explain more in details later.
I will say, there are heaps of Malaysian (guy particularly) being single for this moment. Maybe half of them? This is because most Malaysian guys are independent. They can cook, ahem!, and most of them are metrosexual, ahem!.
But the bad thing about this new breed of guys are, they tends to have crush (maybe fall in love) with gals that they know. I guess rarely you will see them going after gals who is walking on the street that look like someone they will fall deeply in love with. That is just not practical. Because people will look at you funny if you tried to start a conversation.
Now you are thinking what is the big deal with going after some gals that they know (maybe not deep, but I should say have acquaintance with)? Okay, if that particular guy ask the gal out (or maybe to have further relationship besides normal acquaintance), and the gal reject, what will become of that guy? Not only he lose his hope, but also a friend (that gal, idiot). The cliff between before and after he blurred those words out are dangerous. He could be flying after that cliff, but he might be falling down the cliff like a lost mountain goat.
And this cliff, made people create their own voice in their mind. Some of these voice can be loud like hell, others are more subtle. So you tends to think too much and misses the boats. Like the voice keep asking you, "What If blah blah blahhhhh...." or some sorts. Even when the gals are giving hints (which I reckon are sub-hints), the voice has already covered everything... So gals, don't be put off because the guy doesn't get your ultra small hints. Of course, these doesn't refer to every guy on earth. Like I've just said, some guys' inner voices are rather subtle, and they definitely know when to catch the cue. Even when there is no cue, they will just grab whatever chances they can, with no what-if-voice in them. So not to worry gal, okay?
So guys what do you have to lose? Block the what-if-voice of yours and start working up your ways to gals! Just do it! Don't regret your ass out when someone you like are about 1000km or even 5000km away from you.

I guess rarely you will see them going after gals who is walking on the street that look like someone they will fall deeply in love with. That is just not practical. Because people will look at you funny if you tried to start a conversation.
Now you are thinking what is the big deal with going after some gals that they know (maybe not deep, but I should say have acquaintance with)? Okay, if that particular guy ask the gal out (or maybe to have further relationship besides normal acquaintance), and the gal reject, what will become of that guy? Not only he lose his hope, but also a friend (that gal, idiot). The cliff between before and after he blurred those words out are dangerous. He could be flying after that cliff, but he might be falling down the cliff like a lost mountain goat.
This cliff doesn't seems too high, but how painful can it be when u got ass-poked by rocks at the bottom of the cliff.
And this cliff, made people create their own voice in their mind. Some of these voice can be loud like hell, others are more subtle. So you tends to think too much and misses the boats. Like the voice keep asking you, "What If blah blah blahhhhh...." or some sorts. Even when the gals are giving hints (which I reckon are sub-hints), the voice has already covered everything... So gals, don't be put off because the guy doesn't get your ultra small hints. Of course, these doesn't refer to every guy on earth. Like I've just said, some guys' inner voices are rather subtle, and they definitely know when to catch the cue. Even when there is no cue, they will just grab whatever chances they can, with no what-if-voice in them. So not to worry gal, okay?
So guys what do you have to lose? Block the what-if-voice of yours and start working up your ways to gals! Just do it! Don't regret your ass out when someone you like are about 1000km or even 5000km away from you.

My Testamur
Yes, after three bloody long years of reports, assignments which suck asses to the maxes, and examinations which took donkey years to prepare, I am Bloody Graduated! Although some of you might be confused, after seeing me wearing the graduation gown few months ago. That time, I still haven't graduated yet. I was a Graduand (someone who is bloody going to graduate, but have yet graduate). But now, I am a Graduate! Cheers to me! hahaha.
Can you imagine? Three years just passed without me noticing.... I still remember clearly the first semester I went into the university. I remembered how I met all my best friends, or most of them. Hahaha. AND I remembered clearly how I lost my loved one, just 1 month before I enter university. Yes, my Granny. I guess she is the one who supported me throughout my toughest time in my studies, morally I meant. She used to say this words that drove me insane and made my blood boil. She said (in cantonese, she doesn't even know a single English okay...), "All Leongs are not good in studies". Just these few words, made me try my hardest and prove her that she is so damn wrong. So yeah, that day when I got my testamur, I looked up the sky and said " In Your Face!". This is not what I've said. Hahahahaha.
But yeah, spent 3 damn long years to get a piece of paper?.... Besides this paper might not be so damn important when you come out to the working world.... I hate to bring this up guys, but most of my friends who finished their degree in Science, don't want to hunt for anything that is related to science. Or they get a job that is totally not related to Science. Not a single part of it. So what do the paper proves? You have gone through a bloody 3 years to know a little knowledge about Life? In that case, do you actually know what is Life? Classes, Lunches, Labs, Dinners, and more Assignments don't sound like a life to me! That's why I will always work in the field that I am interested in, which is Science. Oh, since I am here. I would like to bring something up. You look at this picture of mine. Not bad ay? Actually it is with the help of Photoshop. Without it, I will have a damn huge eye bags, some pimple-scars, and don't get me started on the other place on this picture.

Fridge problem
For the past few weeks, I was up to my head with the stupid fridge. Of course it is my lab fridge..... I figured I did not really post any entry on my lab as well as research, unlike some of my friends who tell very interesting stories about their Honours. I guess my Honours project is not as interesting as theirs and definitely hard to explain. I have a bench in the Environmental Lab ( a very wacky old lab) and a shared office.
Back to my lab's fridge. Well I have a fridge to store all my bacteria culture and fungi cultures which I've isolated from the filthy compost that smelt like petroleum and some shit-like waste..... Anyway because of the stupid fridge, all my cultures were contaminated. Even those I've nicely sealed and subculture. I am too lazy to explain everything, basically the cultures I had are not "pure". So I need to reculture them in another agar medium. Now, they (can say all) are contaminated with Aspergillus, one of my fungi. WHY???
This is because the fridge is set at bloody 10 degrees. There is no knob to adjust the temperature.... Even my house's fridge there is a knob for us to tune the temperature accordingly. That day, I spent the 1 hour to clean the whole damn fridge, and disinfect it with alcohol. PS. I did not pour wine/whiskey/vodka/tequila/absinthe into the fridge. I whipped the fridge with what you call a 80% Ethanol. If you were to dare to drink it, I reckon you will die of liver failure, on the spot!
Okay, thinking that the temperature might go down after I've bloody washed it. NO....... What I found next really surprising and yet funny. I found Drosophila flies flying in the fridge. Well at 10 degree Celcius, it is just nice for them to have a Refreshing and Cool time! Even when I bloody send an emails to the fridge manufacturer days ago, there have yet reply to me..... There is no the adjustable knob everywhere, no inside, outside, below and on top of the fridge.......
This is the problem with such tedious project. If you start dealing with bacteria and fungi, everything that you do which has contact with them needed to be sterilised. All waste has to be sterilised as well. Contaminations are inevitable and you just have to pray hard you won't come across contamination (which probably won't happen). The whole actually do smell like fungi ( and I am breathing in all these time, my poor lungs). When I see some of my coursemate projects, they basically do not need to wear gloves everything they do stuffs because they were dealing with plants and enzymes and these are not hazardous. Mine is interesting (to me) but they are pretty hazardous..... So who is to blame? ME. Yes, it is me who should be blamed. For being such a choosy person to choose the project that is very interesting me to, yet kinda hazardous.... Hahahaha.
Okay here two pictures of my lab and office.
My lab bench, with my babies cultures.
My office, with my bibles!

Taste
Okay, I am trying to be good and nice here. Updated two entry for the continuously 2 days. Hehehehe. Well, I have this vibe to write my blog every time in the city, but totally forgotten about the topics to write when I reach gippy. Maybe the boringness caught me when I reach MooMooLand. Hmm speaking of Moomooland, I better update it soon. Hahahaha.
Back to my title, yes taste. I was having Korean foods, when my Fat Aunt popped me a questions. Then I realised that I should probably post this up. She asked me, "Why do you love spicy foods so much when you hated heaps when you are small". Then only it hit me. I can't eat any spicy foods when I was small, all the way until I finish my high school and A-levels. I was known by my A-level friends as a person who doesn't eat any thing that is red and green in colour. I will turn red when I eat anything red. But not green when I eat anything green. Hahaha. And now? I can't live without having something spicy within the week.
The reason?
China and KL. I reckon they are my answer. Why so? Okay, it all happens when I went to China. When it snows, it is hard to get foods that is not spicy to taste nice. Hahaha. During winter, spicy foods becomes non-spicy foods when your hand is trembling due to cold..... Hahahaha. That is the beginning of my Spicy-eating-story. KL is just a mere enchanter, enhancing my spicy eating ability. Hahaha. Then when I go back Penang after these events, her foods become heaven to me. Hahahaha. Can't believe how much I had been missing. Hahahaha.
My free-loader housemates (Mary and Chanthu) were saying how choosy am I. Well if they knew me when I was young, they won't able to believe my choosiness, maybe end up running to their parent and cry like a baby girls. Heaps of foods that I don't eat last time seems okay to me now. Or I will be desperately in love with them. Hahahaha.
They said when you grow older, your taste will definitely change. Both in foods and gals. You may like certain kind of gal when you are young, and 10 years later, you will think that you are a damn fool for thinking that day. But certain gals or foods won't able to change your mind at all. Like long beans. They will never be my favorites in years to come, so isFat Gals. Sorry for being sexist, or narrow-minded. I guess I am not the only one, who would like to have a girlfriend who you can only half-hug. Half-hug means your hands can't touch each other when you are hugging them, self-made by Lex. But being said that, I don't think I will mind if my wife become bloated after giving birth. Hahaha. Ooops. Oh wait, this entry is not about fat gals........
So what do you think about your own taste? Did they changed? or they stayed the same since you are small. (You can't be, because then you will prefer to eat sticky and gluey foods instead of Eye Ribs Steak) Please leave some comments. My blog has been pretty boring with me crapping all these time...........

I am Grateful
Well, for the passed few weeks, I was so shit-loaded sick, that I felt like dying. But then now that I am feeling better, I should be grateful for everything I have or had. Hahahhaa. I have not grab the pictures from Rona, so I can't upload the pictures from the City. Bare with me for awhile here, I am kinda lazy in updating my blog. Hehehehe. Anyway back to my gratefulness, I am listing stuffs that I am grateful off.
Here it goes:
Here it goes:
- I am grateful to have such a loving family. Although my sister doesn't show it well, I know that she loves me dearly. Ooooh sound so touching. Hahaha
- I am grateful to have a loving Auntie and her close family. I am kinda spendthrift but my aunt understands that. Hahahaha
- I am grateful to have a "perfect" body. Mind the perfect, cause I am not totally perfect, but seems perfect as compared to other less fortunate people. I have 2 pairs of good hands with all fingers attached, and my legs are at same length and have equivalent toes. Hahahaha. I do have a face with proportional features.
- I am grateful to have friends who did take care of me while I am down and sick. Friends to chat until 4 am, although it is a bloody headache next morning when I go to lab. Hahahahhaa. Friends who will cook congee, and other good foods for me when I am sick. PS: Congee and porridge are sick people's foods for me.
- I am grateful to be able to get my testamur (I will post the testamur soon). Means I struggled and managed to finish my degree, without need to spend more money in buying it.
- I am grateful to live in Australia. Not everyone can afford to come over to Aus and do what I am doing, writing blog. Hahaha
- I am grateful for being full. Since some people don't have the money to buy their lunch while mine is full with good foods.
- I am grateful to be able to write this blog. If I were to be in some hectic countries where life is about making money, those people don't have a life. Yes I am grateful to have a life.
- I am grateful to have a shelter call half-home. Hahahha.

Barely Breathing
I am not dead yet okay. But someday last week, I felt I was better off dead....Had been sick for the past 1 week, this time is the worst since I came over to Aus. I know I will be sick weeks ago, but I don't have the time and nutrition to do anything good about that. Turns out the bug won't and I was down with cold..... Few days ago, I was coughing and sneezing and everything has been spinning around and round, plus my head felt heavy and hot..........Not a good sight. Then because I didn't have enough foods, lost my ever famous appetite, I almost faint after wake up from my sleep. Hahahahaha. Funny huh.
But thanks to those who cared about me, I felt way better now. But I am still being controlled by those bugs..... Time like these, just make me want to go back home, and get some of my mom's attention. Hahaha. Well being so damn far from home, we tend to be TLC-deprived.
There are heaps more event happened and I has been a bum for not getting them from friends and posting them up in this blog. Well I hope my laziness won't last forever and tried to upload some of the pictures for you guys (if there are people who are interested with my blog) Hahaha.
Still coughing dry cough. Every feeling has been drained by my sickness and I can't feel anymore...... Some days I can stare at the lappie without any expression at all..... Save me........

Xmas Comes Early This Year
Yesterday was rather hectic day. Early in the morning, I have had my first presentation..... It did not went according to what I planned for. It is the Honours student's presentations, where all of us are required to present our own project to everyone, and the presentation worth about 5 to 10 marks for our total Honours degree. Before it is my turn to present, I have these butterflies in my stomach. Can't seems to concentrate on Alicia's last presentation. All I heard are "paper and pulp", "MS-MS" and "they are good".
Then comes my presentation. I have cold sweat with smashing the pointer so that I can use the laser. Rather freaked out..... My introduction was a bit dodgy, but once I reach the methodologies section, I am already well off, because I know what I am doing by that time. After the presentation, I felt like I just the whole bomb away! Then I can really sit down and listen to what my fellow Honours students got to say. Hahahaha.
After presentation, I was kinda tired. But I need to rush my project so that I can incubate the microorganisms into the rotary incubator for the weekend. I know my supervisor is so desperate to go home, but because I need to continue with my project, she can't go back early. She is not pretty happy about at first and finally gave in.
I finished the experiment 1 hour earlier, scared she will becomes grumpy later on. Then comes dinner, which is a free dinner by Badminton Club. Then there was this Birthday party and the last party for the semester (as if). The party is the conjugation for Ken, Arjun and Varun's Bday. Booze were everywhere, and people were totally wasted after that. Luckily, thank god, I am not!!!!!! I start filling water into my beer bottle after 3 beer and 1 shot of Absinthe and 1 shot of Vodka......... This time I know how to control myself! Hahahaha. I keep on running away from one of my friends, because she heard that I will become very cute (=.=|||) when I am drunk......So been trying to make me drunk the whole nite, end up getting herself drunk. Sweat.......
Okay okay, back to my title. Why I put this title, when the first half of my entry totally unrelated to my title. Hahaha. Anyway, Jason Chan's (Hooi Yee's cousin) mom came over to Aus. AND she brought something nice with her when she comes over!!! TAU SAH PIAH!!!!!!! AND AND Jason gave 1 packet (5 of them) to me. Yippie!!!!!!!! Tau sah piah is flaky sweet of baked wheat with the filling of red bean paste. The most important thing is they are from HIM HEANG!!!!!! Oh God, those really bring back some memories!!!!! I ate them yesterday, after my presentation, and I felt like I was brought back to Heaven....... Hahahhaa. But I need to finish the tau sah piah by today, because the expire date is on the day before yesterday.
Acknowledgement: Jason Chan for giving me the Tau sah piah and Shing Jia for taking the photo of them!

Fat Ass
Sorry for being a bum. I haven't been updating my blog these days; unlike 1 year ago, where I will update them 3 times a week..... The Honours has struck me so hard, I have no time for other useless stuffs...... Besides doing my workload and my paperwork (they are not assignments anymore, so I reckon I should call literature review and graphs paperwork), I spend most of the time relaxing. In the house! Hahahaha. Honours really can bring an introvert out of an extrovert.... I just want to sit on my big fat ass and watch some funny shit sitcoms and movies. But of course, I will definitely exercise. Hehehehe. Oh no..... I miss my swimming session today. Oh well, more fat asses to come......
Speaking of fat, I would like to raise a question. Obesity in Aus is a boom, or should I say a trend. Few months ago (should be few months) when I was eating KFC in Morwell, I saw a family having their good time in the table next to us. What so big deal about that? Can't a family eat in a fast food junction? Let me break it down to you! They have a baby, maybe less than 1 year old, and they were feeding him with DEEP-FRIED WEDGES and SMASH POTATO...... Argh, so starchy and oily...... Of course those tasted better than the goo-ie babies food......Come on guys, Babies should not be fed with deep fried wedges....... Hahaha. Maybe I come from a family where my mother will forbid me eating anything unhealthy, and if possible no oil at all.... Over here, none of the fast-food joint or any cafeteria will supply free ketchup. WHY? Cause the whole box (in tonne) will finish within a day, they just eat ketchup like drinking water.
Then it comes to one of my friend which I shan't name. After 2 to 3 weeks of absence (I don't get to see people very much, cause I was hiding in my lab), he had grown (horizontally)....... His new hair cut didn't help much, instead worsen the effects. Hahahaha. Then I was wondering, what makes a thin person, to grow like the size of a bear? 10kg in a few weeks. Hehehehehehe. I guess with all those starchy, creamy and the fast food joint, even a thin person will prone to be an obese when you don't watch what you eat. Or maybe the friend of mine are having a good life. This is what the Chinese will say...... Hahahaha.
Enough of fat foods. I am going to have my pie lunch! Maybe with some fat ass baked wedges. Oooooooh noooo. I missed my swimming session.... Here comes the double chin and extra spare tyre. Hahahaha

Cancer (My Last Respect)
No, it is not about the horoscope Cancer..... Well, listen to the whole story will yah.... Today I lost one of my cousin, to cancer. Yep, the disease cancer..... Too bad I can not go back to Penang, or at Penang to pay my last respect to her.
I am not very close to her actually. She live at the Wellesley Province, while I live in Penang Island. So I rarely get to see her. She is about 20 years old elder than me (so is most of my cousin), so we have less common ground. Besides she is always away giving tuitions to other students. The time that I get to see and talk to her is during Chinese New Year. When she is not giving tuition classes and at around the house. From what I've recalled, she was alone all the time. Don't remember she got married (Leong's curse: Every Leong is kinda curse to be single). She worked very hard to earn a decent (or maybe rather huge amount) of money. Staying indoors, in air-conditioned room to give tuition classes (Malaysian's terminology for extra classes besides school classes). And you think cancer is only caused by excess interaction with any radioactive.....
4 months ago, when my mom told me that she was diagnosed with cancer, I was quite shock. I was rather worry. But after my mom's visit, she told me that my cousin looked fine. After that, she was allowed to go back home. I thought she can win this fight. But alas, today, she lost the battle.
I could not write any further.
So this will be my last respect to you Ah Khum Piew Cheh:
Sorry I did not make any efforts to get to know you well. But I hope you can read this wherever you are. May you rest in peace.

Staying indoors, in air-conditioned room to give tuition classes (Malaysian's terminology for extra classes besides school classes). And you think cancer is only caused by excess interaction with any radioactive.....
4 months ago, when my mom told me that she was diagnosed with cancer, I was quite shock. I was rather worry. But after my mom's visit, she told me that my cousin looked fine. After that, she was allowed to go back home. I thought she can win this fight. But alas, today, she lost the battle.
I could not write any further.
So this will be my last respect to you Ah Khum Piew Cheh:
Sorry I did not make any efforts to get to know you well. But I hope you can read this wherever you are. May you rest in peace.

Homemade Hokkien Mee
I am very sorry for the late update. Ben Ben was too busy to upload the pictures, so I can't get the pictures and I was also kinda lazy to blog..... Okay okay, since that day was Tuesday, with no apparent reasons, we (Ben Ben, Shing Jia and me) decided to cook something good and spicy! And because I've brought the sauce for Hokkien (Prawn) noodles, we decided to make our own Hokkien noodles!!!!! It tasted not bad! But it is not spicy enough. Next time need to put more sauce, to make it super duper tangy and spicy!
Well this is a good thing being in Australia. All the ingredients inside this dish are from either Great Eastern or Laguna Asian Groceries in Melbourne!!!!! When some of my friends have to buy the whole box of Malaysian sauces when they go oversea, I can just buy them after 2 hours of train! 2 hours is still a lot to me. I really hope Laguna or Great Eastern will open a branch over here......
Okay back to the Hokkien Noodles! In the noodles, what I used!
OMF--kinG..... I felt so domestic........

Okay back to the Hokkien Noodles! In the noodles, what I used!
- Hokkien yellow noodles
- Rice vermicelli
- Bean sprouts
- Fish Cakes
- Bacon (to replace the shredded chickens)
- Egg
- PRAWNS (need to thank Ben, if not he will come in and scold me for that....)
- and the secret ingredient sauce!
OMF--kinG..... I felt so domestic........

Locked! =.=
Okay, it has been awhile since I blogged on this site. I have another blog that I also contributed,MooMooLanders. Well, need to write something on this blog. If not, soon it will be a useless website. Hehehehe. Don't have my blogging bug with me, and Miss Poison Ivy keep on talking to me through msn......
Oh, about the title above, it is a funny incident. Hahahaha. I was alone in the Environmental (Back) Lab, as always. I went to the storage room at the back of the Back lab (sounded weird) to grab some more petri dishes. Unknown to me, the door was set to lock position..... And BANG, I was locked in the store rooms...... Along with some mushrooms and feather collectors..... Just that day, I was thinking whether I will be "quarantined" in that room. Suddenly panic got to me, I have no mobile with me cause it is in the office. Luckily I have the key with me! So I thought.... That key can't open that store room door, after trying hard to jam my key into the lock...... Then, just when I was about to bang the door until it opens, I realised that the storage room is connected to another back room of the Chemistry lab, and the door is not locked! And my key is compatible to the lock of the Chem lab!!!!!!
But because I was locked in that room, only I found some stuffs which is of use for my project!!!! So what do you reckon? Good coincident? or faith that brings me to that stuffs?!
Past few days, I was pretty happy; throughout the days. No particular reasons. Maybe someone put some dope into my foods..... I managed to get a Hokkien noodles (Prawn noodles) sauce, that tasted just like the Hokkien noodles from the hawker!!!!!! I am going to cook that tomorrow, and this time I am going to take the photos of that!!!!! Wait for the next entry!!!!! That's why staying in Australia is so damn good, where getting Asian groceries is not like spotting a kangaroo in the city! You can always get bak kut teh (imported from Malaysia) sachets in every single Asian groceries shops!!!!! But of course, you'll need to cook yourself........
PS: There is no wild animals (like kangaroos) in the city. The only wild animals you can find in Melbourne are the raven-look-a-like-gothic-people! Hahahaha.

Weekend in Melbourne (Again)
Yep, it is another weekend in the big smoke! I went down to city for repetitive 2 weeks already.... I definitely won't go down again this weekend. I need my rest. I need to wake up late and go for a swim and lay at home and do nothing on Fridays nite........
Anyway, I went down to city last weekend was due to several important stuffs. First thing, on 31st of August, Friday nite, I rush down to city because of my cousin's Birthday party. No, I am not going to city just to celebrate Merdeka Day..... Well, those who stayed with me or most of my friends, have been listening about this party until their ears sore. Hehehehehe. I just couldn't wait for that party! The nite went pretty well; about 50 of his friends turn out. Although I don't know any of his friends, that doesn't stop me from having a good time! Have had a 'moving' dinner along the river that passes through the lovely Melbourne city, we were dinning like Kings!
Can you tell which is my cousin? The one standing behind me! Others are his friends, no idea who are they. Hahaha
Then on Saturday, I went out for a shopping frenzies! Brought heaps, but without using any penny out from my wallet, thanks to the 95 dollars Myers gift voucher from Monash! Of course I did use some dough out from my wallet, for groceries that's it! Met up with Rona and Titin, really need to thank Titin for her beautiful handmade stationery cup! Look below. Isn't it beautiful? If you want one as well, order one from Beautiful Miss Titin Christina!
We end up eating Thai foods, because I am sick and tired with Japanese foods. Almost every week I have Japanese foods when I am in the city.... We went to Ying Tai 2 at Lygons Street. The food was 2nd class, but the service is 5th class...... The dishes came after 10 minutes ( a plus for that), but we waited another 10 minutes for our rice and bowls for TomYum. This is one of the scene:
Lex: Hi miss, can we have our rice now?
Waitress A: Okay, just a sec.
~~~~~~~no one came over with our rice......
Rona: Miss, can we have plates and our rice please?
Waitress B: Okay.
After 5 minutes, our plates are here! 5 of them, when there were only three of us.... Given by Waitress A. 1 minutes, Waitress B came up to us with another 3 plates......
Lex: Hi miss, can we really have our rice now? You gave us the plates, without any rice..... Swt*
Waitress A: -No response-
~~~~~~~~no one came over as well....~~~~~~Then the nerve really got me....
Lex: -after walking into the restaurant and ask- Hi, can we have our rice and bowls please?
Waitress A: Oh, yes. Are you with the gals outside in yellow (mentioning Titin)
Lex: Yes!
Waitress A: Okay, we will bring that for you.
Lex: No. I will bring it myself. No worries.
Then only she bloody give us the rice and bowls...... This scenario doesn't end here. No bloody way..... They didn't bring us the water...... Swt swt........
So in conclusion, if you want to eat good thai foods, but don't have the bloody patience,
- DON'T bloody go to Ying Tai 2 at Lygons Strees-
On Sunday, because I need to hand up the documents to the Immigration Department, I stayed back. That night, we feast like King again! This time at Plume in High Point.
Entree
1. Shark fin's soup (PS: shark fins more than the crab meats!)
2. Lobster with wonton mee ( Yummiest!!!!)
Main
1.Cantonese Steamed fish (so professionally cooked that the fish is not overcooked! I can taste the fish's freshness)
2. Seafoods hotpot (Mixture of scallops, big prawns, calamari and soft toufu)
3. Deep fried chicken spare ribs (tasted almost like Kentucky fried chicken)
Desserts
1. Red bean paste (yum yum)
2. Fruit platter
And it is only $180 for four person!!!!! El Cheapo!!!!!
Monday (Today), I went back to Gippsland like a Chinese Vietnamese refugee..... One big ugly bag for my lappie, 3 bags of groceries... messy hair and pimples, that I swear to god looks like dirts on my faces..... hahahahaha. Okay I am totally knackered now, and I am writing such a f---king long entry........

Titleless
Hmm. Today is a good day. I get to go back early, not 15 minutes before 5, or 5pm.... Besides, I did not have any plan after I reached home. Unlike other days, where I will be heading to gym or heading to the city (like tomorrow).
Don't get me wrong. I love the city. Love it so damn much! But some days I just want to stay back at home, in my room and relax! Wake up late in the arvo, and just sit in front of my lappie and some useless stuffs. But being a hypocrite, I will hate that kind of life after awhile. Hehehehe.
Some people might be interested with my honours. Hmmm...... what nice thing to say about it?..... What I know is things won't go as you have planned..... You think you can the bull-eyes with just once shot? No bloody way..... This week I carried out my 2nd trial for the first part of the project.... FIRST PART of the project already need several trials..... What about the rest?..... Next week I need to do something tedious and long.... Still I will pray for Fridays to come earlier. Hehehehehe.
As I said before (maybe some already know this, after I-nonstop-promoting it), I will be going down the big smoke. My cousin's birthday! Yep, on our Malaysian Independent (Merdeka) Day. He will be a proud Malaysian if he were to stay and born in Malaysia. But he is not. Hehehehe. Too bad.
Okay, Since we can upload video in the blogspot! I tried uploading a very funny yet stupid video for you us to have a laugh! But in vain.... It is too large, and it takes forever to upload. After awhile, my patience run thin, and I stop uploading it.... hehehehehe
So I upload one of the clips of us throwing our graduation hats! Not as funny as the one I tried in the first place.......Anyway, if you wanna see more clips, go to MooMooLander Blog

Australian Antarctic Division
Suddenly I have an urge to write this entry. Yes, how pathetic huh? Other people have the urge to have sex, have an urge to eat fatty foods like Maccas, have the urge to join a drink feast, etc etc. But, I have an urge to writhe this entry.... Okay, okay, what is so important that Lex has to write this entry immediately, before he forgets. Well, the urge arises from me wanting to work temporarily for Australian Antarctic Division (AAD). Click on it if you wanted to know more about AAD.
I've been looking at the website for the whole arvo, my anticipation grew stronger and stronger. I love the winter (summer is the worst time ever, 20 years of summer, I had enough), and I love to help out the environment. Just so happen, they are doing several projects about remediation of petroleum! The research I am coincidently working on!!!!! Fat Aunt has suggested this idea to me previously, during the Adelaide trip. I was kinda unsure about that. What pulled me back previously?
Well,
This two reasons are enough for me to go there desperately! So what is my plan?

- I need to wash my hair every single morning, my hair will become oily over the nite.....
- I need my electronic stuffs. I need my lappie and musics.
- I am kinda urban person, need to city's treat once awhile.
- Etc etc.
Well,
- I can shave my hair bald. I am willing to do that, just to go Antarctic. No hair means no worries. Hahaha
- I am not working full time in Antarctic!
This two reasons are enough for me to go there desperately! So what is my plan?
- After my honours, I try my best best to get Aussie PR, and then get a stable job. Mostly related to research and environmental microbiology.
- Work my ass off for one year, without break.
- Take my accumulated leaves to work with AAD!
- Go to Antarctic as Temporary Worker for Remediation of petroleum in Macquarie Island!!!!

Weekends!
Well it has been awhile since I blogged, both in this blog and my MooMooLanders blog. Anyway, if you people want to Simpsonize yourselves, click the Simpsonize Me
The photo below is my Simpsonized face! Totally different huh?!So what had happened to this bloke, until he can't blog almost everyday, if not twice a day. Answer: Honours........ Starting from last Monday, my Honours has come to a phase where there is no longer any after-lunch-extremely-free-arvo. After lunch, I went back straight to my lab to continue with my lab. Some of the days are just dead tiring, and other days are dead tiring yet unproductive....
I spend like on day preparing 216 agar plates for my microbie (microorganisms), and another day just walking about hunting for stuffs.... People are definitely very stingy when it comes to apparatus. Just for a masking tape or sticky tape, I need to provide a 100-reasons'-list. Tj did asked me why did I sound so agitated, I wonder how he knows I got so agitated..... Anyway, the agitation will arise when things you are looking for are either not enough, or they are not sterile..... Yes, I need my stuffs to be sterile, not because I am pathetic, but because of the nature of these experiments I am doing...... Everyday throughout the week, I felt/looked like a zombie when I reach home. I was complaining for the first few days.
But then, I realised that I will be working in this researching field when I come out working. I can't be complaining and be agitated every single days..... Besides, I have tried my best not to complain that much anymore. Hehehehe. PowerNap is what I need! But I hope I can get power-nap once awhile, sometime I might not get to sleep at all. I am not a good sleeper (is it what you called? Or something else). It is worse, when you are such a picky person, yet staying with a nocturnal wombat (oops, person). Hahahah.
Then, of course, weekends are the days I am longing for everyday. Weekends are the days where I can have them all by myself, not doing experiments or plying my eyes with a toothpick every morning... Hahaha. Weekends are the days I can swim and go for exercise, and sleep in until late in the day! Hahaha.
OMG. It is Saturday nite already..... My this Saturday is about to end very soon...... Sunday just passes by without me noticing, and Monday is another fighting day. I wonder should I go to Melbourne city next weekend or the week after next?.

Lord Darth Lex!
Yippie!!!!! Today, I almost jump up with joy! Why?????
My mask came on time, just before we need to do mix our compost. Sorry being so pathetic, I don't like the idea of breathing pathogen spores. Oh, for those of you who don't know what I am saying; I am a Honours student (ahem!) doing research on bioremediation of waste with compost (not so ahem, but I liked it!). Don't know what is compost? Just type http://www.gofuckinggoogleit.com and you will know......
Anyway, back to my psyche, it came just on time, and I've said that twice..... It is installed with HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter. Means I am safe from all the harmful pathogens and their spores!!!!!That one belongs to me, I am not going to let any other person use it. And I reckon no one want to use mine, god knows what could be produced from my breath. Hahahaha. Now, I not only need to wear safety goggle (got use of that); I need to wear the mask whenever we do stuffs with the open compost. Anyway it helps because the waste smelt like vomits and others smelt like petroleum spills..... Oh wait, they are petroleum waste, what the hell I am talking about?..... If you are wondering, the waste that smell like vomit or worse is actually waste from grease trap that we got from the fast-food restaurant.... Yep, Maccas or KFC or Hungry Jack and etc....
Then, after reading Kenny Sia's blog for long, I've the urge to start playing with my pictures..... And here you are, Lord Darth Lex!!!!!!!! Hahahahaha..... *pathetic laugh*

Me wearing full PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) in the lab. Overslept, so didn't have time to wax my hair....
However, when we wore that, there are some disadvantages. It is hard to hear what my supervisor wanted to say, when he is wearing one as well. Our breathing sounded like Lord Darth Vader, from Star Wars. If I have a safety hat from the construction, I will look exactly the same as Lord Vader!Then, after reading Kenny Sia's blog for long, I've the urge to start playing with my pictures..... And here you are, Lord Darth Lex!!!!!!!! Hahahahaha..... *pathetic laugh*

Dear to me
I really have no idea what I want to write for this entry. But felt like writing into my blog, which clearly has no one bother writing their crap over the crapbox or worse don't even bother looking. hehehehe. Should I keep on promoting my blog? Then people will call me "SHAMELESS" for keep on promoting it... Hahaha
Okay, let me explain what is the meaning of independent. With independent, you are more likely to go through your life without fear and worries. You can finish a job given to you without helps from other people. You believe (so is other people) you can do such thing no doubt. Don't you feel good? Able to do stuffs without helps of others.
But, it is never this case. When you are too independent (by the look of it), people will easily brush you off; thinking you can make it yourself. However, most of the independent people are emotional dependent. They looked too hard and bright outside, when there is a dark and gloom cave under the skin. It is good when these people found someone who can light up their caves, but others, might need cobweb to help them keep company. Hahaha.
The amount of single people are rising by days (both sexes). This means people are getting more independent by days. But this is not the way. Especially Malaysian. I reckon, Malaysian are getting so independent, most guys are single.... Or they are the loser in the ultimate game called relationship... I would like to believe they are independent. I am still living in denial. Hahaha
I wanna thank this particular person who turn on a torchlight in my caves during summer. Thank you very much. You are there when I needed the most. Please light it once again and forever.

China Chinese Vs Oversea Chinese
This entry is something that I felt like letting it out of my chest, since the first week of the semester had started. As you can see, this semester there are 30 China students from some part of China, don't know which university which did twining program with Monash Gippsland. So happen, that out of 30 China students, 2 of the guys are staying in our house. I am not trying to be a big fat and inconsiderate racist here, I am just merely stating the obvious.
The first thing that changed a lot in our house is the cleanliness. Benches were stained with fats and residues which could not be removed. Dishes and pots which is super-glued with food residues, although some were so called "washed". Sinks were blocked for donkey years and can be turned into sock (no fish can stay in there) tank soon. Do I need to mention about our toilets?
Then, comes the question. What makes us so different? Oversea Chinese are the Chinese (mostly Southern Chinese) which migrated from their home country to another place for the future of their kin. At that time, China was having some population boom, and people are losing jobs. My Granddad moved out of Guangzhou/Canton to Penang, Malaysia. Now, my siblings, all my cousin and I are Malaysian Chinese. Some of the good things about Oversea Chinese are: their English is slightly (not much for others) better than their peer from China, they have siblings whom will fight with them just for the fun of it, etc. etc. You can find Chinese just about everywhere, I reckon Chinese is the most resilient race!!!!!!
After mentioning the Oversea Chinese, there is always the China Chinese, whom parents remained in China, and they probably have no other siblings besides their cousins. With this, I heard, it makes them very spoil? I can't make judgement, can I? Anyway, those who able to make it to Aus, are definitely rich spoil kids. Hahaha. Ooops sorry.....
Anyway, back to my problem. What makes us so different? Once we are out of our home ground, people tend to according to the environment, it is call Human Adaptation and Evolution. So those who are away from their home ground since young, their tend to follow the specific country's culture. Some of the Asian in America have no idea how to speak their mother tongue. The good stuffs about Oversea Chinese in South East Asia is that they tend to keep some of their Chinese culture. They can speak good dialect, if not Mandarin. But just as I thought we were more alike the Chinese back home, we are very different actually. I am not saying the people back in China are less educated, but with the large amount of people in one small spot, people don't really care about cleanliness. Can you imagine; your dinning room window is facing the toilet window of another unit? People throwing rubbish everywhere, every corner on your pathway? Children shit outside the store facing the main road? I've been to China before, and I don't think I want to go back.
I know this is the situation back in the mainland China. But please don't do these stuffs when you are out of your comfort zone..... My house is currently having such crisis, and I don't know what I can do to solve it. They don't seems to know what I am saying, even when I was speaking at the speed of a tortoise, and I don't like to speak Mandarin until I have to. I hope no wars will begin in this house though......

No Complain(s)
Well I was going to write something about this morning, but after today, I don't think I can complain anymore. For those who know me, I like to voice out my disagreements or discontentment. For today, I need to wake up at ungodly hour 5.45am just to travel back to Churchill to help my supervisor with the compost mixing. I was going to start my rambling, until...
For the past few days/weeks, all I did was waking up in late morning/ sometime afternoon, to do some articles reading and watch more telly.... Those days were pretty bored. Then, a few days ago, I went back to Melbourne, just to do my body checkup for my Visa extension. While I was at the city, I called up my technical supervisor, John, and he said I can come over today to help him and Craig with mixing of the oily sludge and compost. I was kinda psyched with that idea, but immediately being put off because I need to start traveling early morning just to reach Churchill at around 9am or 10 am....
My aunt, who is a nurse, promised will drop me over the station when she goes off to work. It was 5.45am when I forced myself to wake up, took a shower and prepare myself. When we were outside the house, on the way to the city, we saw the West Gate Bridge was chock a block with vehicles...... Ungodly 6.30 in the morning and everyone from the city are on the bridge, heading toward that big smoke....
When I was in the train, there were heaps of people, from primary students to elders. All of them need to wake up around my time, or even earlier just to get the train, for a better school that is about 45 minutes or 1 hour train away. There is this guy from my campus whom I met when I was waiting for the campus taxi, that he travel up and down 3 days per week.... 3 DAYS PER WEEK..... Gosh, I rather sleep at home, than coming to uni which needs around 2 to 3 hours with public transports. Then this gal whom I met, also in the taxi, said the same thing. They were chirping away about the methods to wake up at this ungodly hour, couldn't help by adding some tips of mine, using my mobile alarm....
Now, I felt so thanks and relieved that I stayed back in my hostel, which is less than 5 minutes walk from the university. That I can go back home to take a good nap after my lab or class (no more classes though, I graduated from my degree!). That I do not need to travel another 2 hours to go back to my home sweet home. Basically I am very thankful to my aunt and my parent!
Maybe it is different culture, where Aussie tends to keep their lifestyle, while I rather change my whole lifestyle, just to suit the new environment!
Signing off, without any complains
