Creatures from Mars

I am not sure why am I writing this entry. To tell you the truth, I really don't. I just felt like writing it, although the first part of my story had long gone 1 year ago. Maybe because I have no room on my own now, I am sleeping on a foldable bed-couch thingy. Or maybe I am just into a phase, like old smelly socks (I have no idea why I wrote that) PMS. Hahahaha.

Back to my title, before I got too far into the old smelly socks, I am speaking about men! Once upon a time that sound old, one of my friends (girl) asked me this question: What men do when they are interested in a girl? Man, that took me hell a long time to think. Maybe so long that, it takes me about 1 year to fully understand the psychology part of it. I am not a psychologist, so don't get me wrong there. So what men do when they are interested in a girl?

After 1 years of looking at love and men textbooks, definitely not researching, and maybe asking me the same question to answer my friend, I have come up with these set of answers. Maybe you guys might not agree with me, speaking in an ockle way "I don't bloody care, gals digs blokes with big tummy".

A guy is interested in a girl, when:

1. He looks at the particular girl with a slight puppy eyes and somehow tenderly look. I might get this wrong, a play boy might get these sort of eyes and get every girls on his shoe. How do you girls tell when a bloke have those eyes? Maybe they will sparkle when he looks at you?
2. The bloke is more caring towards you. Do not agree with that? No guys will beat up the girl that he likes if he is interested. What? You think you are still in kindie? So a good way to test this is to act as if you fall down, and hurt yourself, and see whether the guy cares or not. Of course some of them do care, right? When someone feel down, you will help that guy?
   
3. The bloke will be interested to spend more time with you. Either on the train, or just standing in front of the rancid smelling toilets waiting for you. This is quite true, we won't be standing there smelling all those filthy smell, and rather go to some perfume shop even though they smelt a lot worse.
4. The bloke would love to talk to you more often! With the latest techology, one can argue that it is hard to differentiate. Even a 5 years old kid has the latest mobile, and he KNOWS how to sms...... I reckon I will lose to him in the competition of text messaging if we had one.
5. I think body language plays a lot of roles in this part. Just like monkey, the interested party will try to groom the other victim monkey. Although we have evolved or genetically modified by selective breeding, some part of us are still very similar to our monkey ancestors. Christian people, you are different, you are greated by your god from mould. So I can't include you guys into this, can I? Sorry I am being religion-ist here, pardon me for that.
6. The guy will put the girl's name near his mouth. Not change his name to the girl's name, you bloody idiot. He speaks more of her, maybe in good, some might be bad.
   
7. Maybe he will beat you because he is interested in you. Well, when a boy hit or bully a girl, this means he is interested in her. Maybe some people still practise this movement when they grow up. Thank god I am not close to any of these abusive people.
   
8. The bloke will try to buy drinks for the lady, and maybe with some additives. Well, we know what we are interested. Do you?
9. He will jump around like monkey and ask you for a dance or so. Then you guys can jump around in circle or crazy undirected way and exchange body heat. Hey I am not talking about sex yet, don't jump into conclusion like them.... Then after one dance or another, you guys can actually exchange "interest" in a filthy grafitti toilet. By "interest", it means something the girl will see something growing in few month time like a bank interest, and guys need to pay all of that in return.
   

Okay, I can't think of any other thing that is good. So basically you guys should know the point 1-6 are somehow true, and point 7-9 are all bullshits. If not, you poor gullible soul...... People open your eyes and look at the world, maybe with a new pair of glasses.

For your information, as a disclaimer, this is just a mere nonsense by a too much time on his sleeve author, and should be read in account of pleasure or under supervision of an adult.

Conformity Vs Individualism

What I realised after 2 years of staying oversea is that the cultures between two big nations are relatively huge; Asian and Westerners. Over here in Aus, there were high amount of people practicing Individualism, while in Asian countries, there were high conformity going on.

For those of you who has no idea what is Conformity and Individualism, better improve your psychological dictionary.

Conformity means tendency to change one's perceptions, opinions, or behaviours to conform with group norms. Too many scientific jargons? Basically it is about one following the social trends and community trends. Individualism is the opposite of that.

Okay, why I say that? That Westerner has more individualism, while Asian just follow the leads. Some of you who are pro-Asian might started to protest upon looking at that sentences. AND I am going to prove my theory right.

Let's talk about Asian alone. Looking back at the time of LaLa-Land. There were heaps of LaLa (people with totally no sense of dressing, thinking what they dress were hip when they showed a total loser out of them) all of the sudden in a few years back. Almost all, if not all, of them have bell bottom jeans, collar shirts which were opened widely which can showed their skinny chest. Shirts that are mostly colourful, maybe from their father's time.
Then there were the straightening-hair-period. When almost every girl I know, have had their hair straightened.
This is not the bad stuffs. The thing that make conformity so strong in Asia is people will actually look at you differently when someone wear differently from the norm. This is why conformity is kept very strong in Asia, cause everyone want to look like another person he/she is staying with. They will scrutinizing you until you felt like you weren't wearing anything at all.

Then, there will always be the Westerner. Of course, there were people who conform to others. Following fashion trends, and wearing something people will preferably wear. BUT, there were also high individualism in this region. If you were to wear something funny in the street of Melbourne, not many people will pay attention, or even scrutinizing you. For example, when a guy wear Harry Potter costume, or even super-duper short pants, no one will care.

You guys might think I am a hypocrite. Writing all these, while I myself follow trends so desperately. Yes, although I follow trends, there are time which I just wanna wear my normal home clothes out. And I did.

Of course, I am not talking about dressing up in your G-strings and thongs (Thong and thongs, what a great pun!). This picture was shown in my Psychology lectures. The first time I saw that, I almost burst out laughing.... hehehe

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:

1. 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
2. I am grateful to have a loving Auntie and her close family. I am kinda spendthrift but my aunt understands that. Hahahaha
3. 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.
   
4. 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.
5. 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.
   
6. 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
   
7. 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.
   
8. 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.
   
9. I am grateful to have a shelter call half-home. Hahahha.
   

I can't think of anything good to write. Hahaha. Just be with this for now. Oh I am not showing off how good is my friends and my family, or how much money I have (which is not much at all). And don't get me wrong, Money is not everything to me. It can buy me clothes and bring me to foods, but everything you found other than money should be the most important; like friendships and TLC from family.

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

Snow

Snowman from Morwell National Park

Well, while waiting for my cooking-mate to come back, I might as well update my blog a bit! I am kinda hungry though.....

It snowed recently in Daylesford and Ballarat just a few days ago... But not over Churchill..... NOT FAIR... they are saying that we might have some, but because of the rain over our place, snow turns into water.... Arrrgggh.....

We, Malaysian, are definitely eager to experience the snow because Malaysia is a tropical country. If snow were to fall on Malaysian ground, there is definitely something weird going on with the world. But we can still experience snow at other places. The only time I see snow is in China, when I was travelling up north from Guangzhou.

To those who haven't experience snow before, there is something you should do. Make sure you wear your gloves (thick one if possible), and make sure you have thick clothes. Most important thing, don't stand in the snow alone..... You will feel so damn alone, you could jump off the cliff if you are standing on one.... I actually felt like the character of Winter Sonata, although I never seen that Korean drama.

Oh wait, last year I'd went to Mt. Baw Baw. The day we (my relative and I) went up the Mt. Baw Baw, it did not snow.... So it wasn't much fun.... The next week, my friends went to the same mountain and they get to play with heaps of snow.... How furious.....

By the way, just yesterday, I did drive around my place, for the snow hunt. We can see some snow lying on top of the mountains next to our campus. But we just can't reach the top of the mountain..... Argh..... I was more furious when Shing Jia and her friends came back with a bag full of SNOW.... They found snow in Morwell National Park.... I SHOULD HAVE GONE THERE....

Okay, I am so damn hungry, I can't type 15 words per minute, I could only type 1 word per 15 minutes. Hahaha.

Pai-Kah (敗家)

Food of the Day: Bak Chang/ Yuk Chung (Meat Dumpling)

Okay, this entry is about Pai-Kah. This noun is a word derived from Cantonese to describe people who are spendthrift, not of their own money. If it is in the dictionary, it goes like this:

Paikah [pä-ahy.kahr]
- noun
1. A spendthrift.
2. A person who spends his/her parent's money without thinking.
3. The person (only need one) to make the whole family goes bankcrupt.
4. The influence that had gone to the poor people as well

Paikah Chai/pä-ahy.kahr.chī/A person (male) who spend his parent's money without thinking
Paikah Lui/ pä-ahy.kahr.loo-ee/ A person (female) who spend her parent's money without thinking.

Nowadays, paikah influence, or for short paikah-ism, has spread to every kid in the house, rich poor families could not run away from that. In the feudal century in China, family with paikahs means that they are damn rich, and the paikah chai or paikah lui will definitely finish the family's hard earned money.

In this century, everything you do need money. Everyone is paikah. When you wanted to go out for dinner with normal friends, you spent like $20-$30 per meals. You won't want to squat at the road side to eat durians anymore, which cost you RM3-4 per durians. Ps. I have no idea what is the price, cause I don't eat durian: they smell awesome, but the texture is not my favourite. When you go out for shopping, who would want to go buy a cheap clothes from market, printed with lousy simbols etc. I definitely like to buy something nice, regardless the price.

Then, being influenced by the public, graduants will definitely go for graduation trips. That trip alone, might cause half the price of a honeymoon, but the graduants are only a not-yet-employed, so-called-unemployed-people. Leeching parent's money to go for expensive places and spend the fortune.

Those who spend more than A$25k per year for tuition fees could not be regarded as paikah. But to those whose their parent spend this same fortune, but you still play a fool and fail at least 2 units per semester, is the worst off all.... Units that needed to be retake cost the same price a normal units, if not more.... Don't make me start on flight tickets....

By the way, I admit I am one of the paikah chai. Although I work my ass off sometime, the amount I spent is definitely more than the job wages I had. Hahahahaha..... Totally different from my sister who is an independent person, and do not need any money from my parent. Salute and envy with her. Hehehehhee.

All in One

Food of the Day: Ookyo (some Hokkien desserts)

It has been awhile seen I upload an entry into this blog. Why?
I am sick..... If some of you even bother caring.....

Today the cows across the road from my house are all in heat.... Moo-ing moo-ing moo-ing and moo-ing like crazy..... Or maybe it is this time around where people forcefully squeeze their precious juice which suppose to be given to their offspring, instead being drank by bunch of aliens (in their Moo-ing mind). Tried my best to shut off their Moo-ing, by playing CHE.R.RY by YUI loudly in my room and have a sing-a-long session. But all these proven to be in vain. hahaha. Shut the window? Yes. Why haven't thought of that in the beginning?......

I decided to put new stuffs into my entry. Every entry will have this Food of the Day sign, which said what food I am thinking while writing the entry. It will consisted of mostly Penang's foods. Sorrie. Other people put some useless stuffs like Emotions, etc etc. No use. Some readers just don't give a damn how you feel. hahaha.

For the past few days, I was kinda disappointed, with the rate of people replying you. When you are asking favour from them. I have this assignment which need me to write a safety audit for a laboratory outside my university. It should be a good experience, until everytime I call the OH&S people, they will bring me to a leave-a-message.

Hi I am XXX, and I am currently unavailable. Please leave a message and your contact details. I will get back to you as fast as possible. Thanks. Tuuuuuuuuuuuu (in very high tone...)

Maybe it is my bad English, or their fault. None of them have yet return my calls.... One possible, I tend to mumble a lot, and speak something wrongly when I am speaking on the voicemail.... Example:

XXX sexy voicemail's voice: Hi, I am XXX, and I am currently unavailable. Please leave a message and your contact details. I will get back to you soon. Thanks. Tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Me: Hi, this is Lex from Monash Malaysia. (What the hell? Monash Malaysia? Monash Gippsland, mate, wake up). Erm, sorry Monash Gippsland. (feeling a bit awkward). I am doing this unit that require me to write a risk assessment for a laboratory outside my campus (awkward; I forgot to say 'I am a student'). So I am wondering whether is that possible that I have a visit to your labs? ( completely hopeless, wishing I could finish talking to the emptiness in the opposite line.......) My number is yada yada yada.....

I am completely hopeless in leaving a voicemail..... HOPELESS>>>>>>

Then, I am just so lucky that I manage to caught an OH&S Manager after 5 times of calling which span around 2 weeks time. She did agree with me visiting her Reproductive Laboratory. But she need to ask the Lab Supervisor first. But she have yet call me back to confirm the time.... She promised........ Anyway, I have another good soul, helped me to SDS Environmental Service, visit to microbiology lab! This one, I called and the manager picked up!!! Hurrah!!!!!!!
Was jumping up and down!!! Went to the next room and tell Yannick, for no reason at all. hahaha.

Okay, I am still coughing my heart out.... Need to do 2 performances for the Culture Nite, which is coming in 2 weeks time. The first performance is a Malay dance....... I was being forced to participate...... another one is on my own will, duet with Sookie, with Nicholas the guitarist. Will tell you people about that soon

P.S. this entry is called All in One, not the song All in One. It means I put all the craps into one entry. Just too lazy to put into separate entries.....

Metrosexual Blokes

Seen my lab block finished earlier, I shall write more craps onto my blog!

What you people might notice these days are guys are becoming more metrosexual orientated. What is metrosexual, one may ask. Metrosexual meant guys who take good care of themselves, with expensive products which gals normally will use. Let's start from top to toe.

Hair - Nowadays guys only spend 20 bucks and above on their haircut. Unlike the golden days, where a normal bloke will only go for 5 bucks cut (P.S. by the Indian barber). Any salon shop with the name Barber, are doomed to be bankcrupt except they are in rural area. I don't understand what really happen to the Aussie salon, they really sucks.... The way they cut our hair really make me regretting everytime I ever come out of the Aussie salon. So I've decided to go Asian stylish salon instead! About hairdo, Asian are definitely better. The hair colour might not be their natural hair colour, with all the highlighting and dyes. Some guys will even go to the extreme, curl perm (>.>) or straight perm their hair! Every morning, they need to be blow dried, style with matt gum/ matt wax then followed by hairspray to keep the style throughout the day.

Face - These days, there are all kind of facial washing for Men. L'oreal for Men, Nivea for Men, Clinique for Men, etc etc.. Before such trend are conformed, guys just wash their face with normal soap. Which my dad still do.... Blokes with pimples are just plain bad luck. But now, blokes wash their face with these facial cleanser, followed by conditioner, then even some with lotions.

Eyes - Gals put stuffs over their eyes to cover the eye-bags. Blokes? There are new products which help blokes to reduce their eye-bags. I have no idea what advantages on that... Not that gals will look at those for long...

Mouth - Well, I should put all these stuffs into face, but what the heck. Okay, what do you do if your mouth are dry and started cracking in winter time? Some blokes will put lip-gloss. I have had a lip-gloss for Men, no taste and smell! I don't want to smell like a gal with strawberry lip gloss.....

Clothes - Unlike the 80ties, blokes in this century spend quite a lot of time, matching clothes before going out. Brown colour shirt definitely cant go with brown pants and brown shoe.... But we only do such thing only for dates! If hanging out with your bloke friends, I don't think most of us will care. Some of my bloke friends actually worked in a boutique, just to get cheap clothes out of the store. By the end of the month, his money will be mostly gone back to the store, instead of using it as daily expenses. Others only wear Quicksilver/Billabong clothes. No matter how crazily overcharged are those clothes.

Perfumes - Perfume, yes perfume. They are not only the best friends to gals, to men as well. Some of my friends are crazy with perfumes. One for different occasions. They are not cheap, especially in Malaysia. But we can get quite a reasonable price in Australia. Father's Day, perfume can go down to only 20 bucks per bottle. Don't even mention Mother's Day.

Shoes - Which blokes don't have more than 2 pairs of shoes? One shoe for normal casual wear, one for formal wear. Aussie definitely have one or two things about thongs.

These are now, or maybe for some people. In future, most blokes definitely will be heading to the pedicure/medicure salon for their nails... Putting cosmetics when going to some places..... etc etc. So pardon us, if in the future, we need to powder our nose also before going out for a date. hahaaha. All we need to do are; take a good shower (hopefully not a bubble bath), wash our face, apply some lotion on our faces, apply the anti-eye bag lotion, change our clothes, dry our hair followed by styling and hairspraying, spray a few puff of perfume, wear our shoes and we are ready to go! ahahahaha.

P.S. I, myself, am a metrosexual blokes, not going to argue about that. What I hope is that I don't been influenced by the norm to go pedicure center someday... Metrosexual blokes are not gay, and will not be.

Blokes like, Missus hate

Now is so damn hot. It is suppose to be autumn, but the temperature today was 34 degrees scorching hot. I feel like dying and suddenly I thought of writing an entry on something so common that it occurs to everyone.

I was talking with South 8 house people, when Sharon suddenly popped a Question to me. Something I reckon most gal will want to know. Will leave the question aside. Today my entry is about what habits that guys mostly do, that tick the gals off...

Back to Sharon's question. She asked me whether I like to drink my softdrinks/juices/bottled beverages directly from the bottle. Then I realised almost every guy do this! I drink my juice out of the juice bottle when I am lazy to get a cup and all the hassles in washing it. Ben ben drinks his juice out of his juice carton every dinner. Kelvin was tempted to eat his ice-cream out of his Bulla ice-cream carton. Hendrix, and Nicholas drink their juices/softdrink out of their bottles. The answer is: We guys are just too lazy to go all the way to the basin to wash our cups and then need another energy to wash the used cup. Just drink out of the bottle/carton make life easier. Somemore we guys don't have time to wash our cups. We need heaps of time to do other useful stuffs, than washing cups...

Next habit:

We guys like to take off our shirts, when the weather is hot. What is so wrong with taking off our shirts? Not that we are going to walk around the house with only undies... We still have our pants on! It is so damn hot, and we are not wearing bra, so why can't we take off our shirts? Then then, we like to wrap ourselves with only towel (below waist) after shower. Or maybe it is me only... Well, it is better to change in the room, than in bathroom. One - bathroom is wet and we might fall down when changing. hahaha. Two - it is easier to change in the room than bathroom, definitely! Somemore we are in our own house. We should feel comfortable in it! Not that anyone will look at us, wrapped in towel like souvlaki. Oh well, I am not a shy person, not shy to show off my fats! hahaha.

One thing that most gal hated, and I still have no idea why, is the Toilet Seat. Why are you people becoming so furious when we left our toilet seat up? Isn't it easier for us to pee?; while rushing to the toilet, we still need to lift the toilet seat up, then only we can pee... If we forgot to lift the seat up, then we might get our urea onto the seat. And the gal definitely hated it. We guys are definitely not going to follow you gal in peeing style: Seat and Pee.

I am not encouraging any war against any gender. And I am definitely not encouraging homosexuals. I am voicing out something we guys think it is weird to be so frustrated off. Well, you gals need to love our habit to love us then! Hehehe.

Bachelor of Stupidity (Procrastination)

Before I began crapping, I would like to thank Yannick, my useless next door Mauritian housemate, who helped me with my blog html!!!!!!

Okay, back to crapping. ;P

This semester is my final semester, of my normal degree in Stupidity; majored in Procrastination. This sem, seen it is the last semester, I shall practise the procrastination to its fullest! With all the knowledge taught by my lecturers, I shall make full use of it!!!My lecturers and family sure very proud of me!!!! Being able to fully use the knowledge I've learned in the class.

I just can't help it. These few days, I am very unproductive in doing my stuffs... Spend most of the time watching cartoons, tv series and useless comedy that made me the noisiest housemates; with my laughter!!!! Come to South 6, and you can hear my laughter in my room!!!! My housemates said that I am the one who chase away the other serious Aussie housemates; one of them is a lady. But I don't think it is fully my fault.... Okay I watch a lot of comedy and funny cartoons and animes, I watch it to heal myself!!!!

Laughter is the Best Medicine

Btw, I came from Leong's family. And our family is known to be very loud! If someone stayed in another block from our house, you can hear my sister 'shouting' with my cousins ('shouted' back at the same time). But the truth is, she is just talking with my cousin. I am the so call quiet black sheep in the whole family of Leong. Of course, besides my mom who came from strict Teow Chew family. Oh, Yannick should able to tell you people, that I always sing in my room.... But what can I do? I missed RedBox so damn much....Whoever you are, we need to go sing karaoke next time I come back Malaysia!!!!

Okay back to my degree, although I've one assignment that need to hand up next week, another one on 30th March, I am still procrastinating heaps! I can't help it (I said it again, twice in a same entry)... It is like, I got this bacteria called Studymoodlesscoccus sp. that multiplied in million times every time I open my books... At the mean time, the Bacillus watchtvus which happen to be synergistic with the Studymoodlesscoccus sp., had the enzymes which hypnotise me to watch more movies and tv. To make the matter worse, my immunity to this two bacteria.... Hope to see a doctor real soon. I don't want to fail any of my units... My seniors are saying that, my this sem units are darn easy. And they reckon I'll do it good.... We will see....

I shall let these bacteria inhibits my immune system until this weekend. Then I really need to work hard. So I can continue my Bachelor of Stupidity. This time will be more specific: Bachelor of Stupidity (Honours) with project in Lecture Halls Head-Fishing. In which, I will be researching on the benefits on head-fishing in lecture halls. I looked through the papers on that study and it said you will gain more stupidity in doing that!!!!! If you don't see me chatting away in MSN, give me some benefit of doubt!!! Practising my procrastination knowledge!!!!

Oversea Studies

For the past few days, I have zero idea and craps to put into this crapspot.com. Weird huh? The most crap person becomes a normal person once awhile. Hehehe. Now I want to start crapping again. Seen we started our new semester. A new first semester for some juniors/newbies and old last semester for people like me (us!).


To those who just bump into this blog accidently, I am currently studying in Australia and am studying oversea. Studying Oversea... You might think that my dad is bloody rich, to be able to send me all the way to Aus. You are totally wrong. My dad and I are poor people. Just have enough money to study oversea.

These characteristics are known throughout the globe:

• If you are Asian, and you study Abroad, your dad Must be Damn Rich.
• If you are Asian, and you study Abroad, you Must be Pai-Kah (rich kid who spend their money without thinking)

All these characteristics are damn wrong. I am not pai-kah (okay slightly, when I saw something I really want). Besides that, I don't simply buy stuffs, just for it... I could spend the whole day walking around Melbourne CBD and did not buy anything (except Eating). Most of my friends do not have a car, and we (Asian) cook for most of the meals, just to save a few bucks. All of us know how bad our dads worked... How hard they earn the money just for us to study abroad.

Most of us did try to find some part-time jobs. But most of us (Gippy people) fail to find a job, because we lack of transportation (no car, need to spend another AUD20k++) and some Science kids do not have time. Someone just told me directly that, You are Privilege. To be able to come Australia, you are way better than other people. blah blah blah...

The thing is I never felt PRIVILEGE at all. I am feeling lucky. Not privilege. Privilege this word is way too strong and somehow rude.... If you feel privilege, you ought to come here. No matter what, you must get what are you looking for. I don't. I am feeling Lucky because I get to come here and continue my degree in Science.

Okay, need to clear another thing. There are some rich kids do spend their parents money like drinking water. I see heaps of such people in Aus. Just like the proverb 'one bad apple spoils the barrel'. It only need one Pai-Kah Chai to bring the whole International Student Community down. I had some friends, their families are like millionaire... They went abroad to study, but most of them did not success in obtaining the degree. Why? They were busy playing and partying which need money (there is no 'S' for money, if there is, it will be more than 1 's').

So, this entry is to tell those people not to judge a certain group of people by their main cover page.

Nomadic Life (Part II)

Erin (name taken from Miss Australia 2006!)

Jamie (from Big Brother Show winner 2006!)

Just moved into a new house again.... South this time. So far, I've stayed in North House, South Unit and West House. Luckily there is no East....

Was very very tired yesterday. Packed my rooms and moved to the South...All by myself. Need to start making the bed position and table and stuffs right after I reached the South unit... Now my back is pain, because of the shifting of the furniture and stuff.

Okay you people might wonder why am i putting the two pictures on top. They are skink, and they lived in my West House. Erin (from Erin Jensen) is living below my room's backdoor veranda! When the sun is up, she will sit on the veranda to bask!! Like Erin.

Another picture is Jamie. He is not a good boy (same as the person in Big Brother). Yesterday, while waiting for the people to come and fetch my stuffs from West to South, I went and took heaps of their pictures. Hahaha.

Why Jamie is not a good skink? When I was taking his picture, he ran away to West29... Leaving Erin basking alone in the sun, on my veranda...And that guy like to hide below the house dustbin....

Oh was happy with my presentation today. Actually heaps of stuffs happened because of that presentation. I don't think it is a good idea to boost in my this modest blog, hehehe, want to know more, come and ask me personally.

Trying to make my South room as cosy as possible. I have more stuffs than before I moved to West... Need to accomodate the standing fan, heater, clothes horse etc etc, while putting them in a position that they are not in the way.

Oh, going to miss the Black Rock Skinks in West House.... So long farewell. I can't bring them to South, they are wild and they do not like me disturbing them... Guess need to tame the rosellas and the galahs outside my South house. Hehehe. Maybe should try to pet some kangaroos as well. Hehehehe.

I wonder the ex-West25 people know about Jamie and Erin?

Up Yours

Don't be too shock to see my title. I am not drunk, not PMS-ing, not etc. etc. I am bloody guy for Pete sake, where got PMS. Anyway I was super cranky yesterday because of some bloody f-king idiot. Who think she is bloody damn beautiful, pretty that she can take advantages out of everyone, including the poor soul of people around her, called "FRIENDS"

How can people so KIASU (terminology, that need you to go bloody check it out yourself). How can you compared your life, or University results, etc. etc. with other people? Crikey! Get your own life....How can you called someone a FRIEND just when you want to take some advantages from that person, and bloody damn good in acting as if you "Care".

You might be shock when you see this entry in this bloke, whom everyone around him regard him as a TemperLESS person and so on and so forth...Knock yourself up, I am just a normal human. You want to know, what happen to this bloody poor guy, that got so berko? I am not only cranky of that person, I am cranky because of myself being a alf. Let me tell you all why and bloody hell, better listen properly.

It bloody happened last 3 months ago. That was during the time where people rush to get tips for the final exam. I had few friends from Malaysia, who think that asking me to ask Phil who is the bloody alf who prepare the paper could do any good. The bloody f-king truth is this Phil is as cunning as a dingo. Okay, well, I don't mind helping, because I myself are taking that bloody damn hard unit. Then come that idiot, lets bloody call her "Ms Pretty", who came out of nowhere, after being bloody lost somewhere. Ms Pretty, not only asked me about Phil unit, she asked me to go HUNT tips from units that I don't even take/enrol.

Blimey! I asked her back, "Test is approaching, how can I do such thing?, I don't need to study?" You know what that bloody damp squib said? "You so CLEVER, no need to studylah". Wtf?
This bloody idiot definitely do not know me, after being 'friend' for 3 years... Am I a bloody genius here? I am just a dill/battler... I work my ass off just to get the results today. Suddenly I am being smart, just because someone needed my bloody help. Up yours!

Okay, that was 3 months ago. I was bloody nacked that time. But I did went and destress to my other friend. She just told me to stop answering that bloody damp squib's MSN message. Since it was just MSN, I can close it. Well, that's why I am so cranky about myself. I forgot about that after 3 months, and I answered that Ms Pretty MSN message again.

This time, it is about applying for Permanant Residence in Aus. Come out of nowhere again, and asked only about PR. Okay, fine. Why do you need to find me, only when you are in need of something? Can't you just go to places like GOOGLE and knock yourself off? Why do you need to come and find me? Oh, just because I am a "Know It All" person to everybloodyone? What now you want me to go HUNT for you the requirement for Western Australia? Bloody hell, I am in Victoria, 24hours away from Perth, by driving. Nick off.

Luckily I still have some friends whom I can count on. Ta to those guys who willing to listen about my stupidity trouble. To those who happen to have such behavior, go bloody educate yourself. Friends should not be taken advantages off. Get your bloody mind straight, and DO NOT step on my tail!

Australia Day

Since today is Australia Day, and everyone is having holiday in Australia (Aussie have very little holidays as compared to Msians, although it is called a Multicultural society), I might as well write an entry!

Aussie have only public holiday for Australian Day, Queen's Birthday, ANZAC day, some Easter days, and Christmas holidays. I was talking with my cousin about this, and we were saying that if Aus is to have holiday for every culture, EVERYDAY WILL BE A HOLIDAY!!!!!
Well you see, you start with English New Year, then it will be some other culture new year, Seol (Korean's New Year), then Pongol ( Indian's festival), so on and so forth.

Oh, so talking about Australia Day, it is the day where the European settlement first step on this unknown land called Australia/ Australasia. This the when the all hell broke loose for the Aboriginals Australian as their land had been seize by the European settlement who are said to be the descendant of convicts... Then it was the Lost Generation, where Aboriginals' kids are being taken by the Caucasians and being bred as an European...Okay enough of history.

This year is the first year I am over here for Australian Day. Nothing special. Aussie will go for Big Day Out, where you party all day ( lucky today's temperature is not 39 scorching hot) and drink beer all night. Asian will just sit at home and some will just play computer games all day and night.

Then there is this advertisement from this guy called Sam Kekovich where he URGE Aussie true blue not to be influenced by outside society in to become un-Australianism. Hehehe. Here he quoted, "The desecration of the Australian flag was bad enough. Imagine if people started burning lamb chops as well. And unAustralianism played a role in the greatest disaster to befall our nation since TOFU...."

He then further said, "I have a dream - that by Australia Day 2007 no Australian child will be living without a nice juicy lamb chop. And I have a dream that on Australia Day mung beans and lamb chops can sit together, side by side on the same plate, as long as it’s not mine. And I have a dream that lamb can unite Australians of all colours and creeds - even hairy legged sandal-wearing lentil eaters.” (hairy legged sandal-wearing lentil eaters meant Indians...Hahaha)

Damn funny, looking how serious he said during that advertisement, like he is running for Aussie Prime Minister! I don't mind agree with him that! Because I don't eat beef, hence the red meat that I eat are Lamb and Pork! So I voted for Lamb!
This is the idiot who vote Lamb

And how do I vote for lamb? Look at the picture below! 4 juicy yummy lamb loins with little veggie. Of course I did eat one honey dew after that. One Honey Dew, not one slice. Hahaha. Aus mutton is very different from other place. This might be due to the fat on the meat. Yummy, they do melt in your mouth!

If you people are eager to see the advertisement, go to this website: http://www.votelamb.com.au/! Will end this entry with my own Grilled Lamb Loin!

My Grilled Lamb Loin with Mustard for Brunch!

No Idea what to put as title...

January is a really slow and boring month for me to begin with... Worse when you are in Churchill and in Australia, where everyone just woke up from the beautiful eating of Xmas! January is just too boring for me... Just finished my research project experimentally and need to write up a 8,000 words report in a month time. No big deal? Nah, still procrastinating heaps... Final Presentation in 2 more weeks? Nah, still procrastinating heaps heaps....

These days spend most of the time reading and catching up with my Naruto manga, and occasionally chat with similar person. Vivz thanks for the time! Muak Heaps! Play some computer games, temperature too high for me this cold-blooded lizard to move about and do some sports. How do those Indians from West23 do sports everyday? ( Well trained from the Bollywood's movie!) Although now is already cooled down to about 20 something, I am still unproductive in sports...

Ta to my high metabolistic body, I manage to keep that beer belly low while I sat there and laugh at Homer Simpsons doing the episode where he travelled with this bunch of Rockers and perform human-beerbelly-cannonball-blocking-act! Long eh? Don't know any other flowery English to explain this. By the way, with Homer why do I need good English? DOPE!

Next semester is coming soon. This means my holiday will be ending soon... Where is my holiday gone? Give me back my holiday!

Wait. I still have 8,000 words report to hand up on 22nd of Feb. Dope!

Next semester should be interesting. You know why? Most of my friends, which I took 1 short semester to 'generate?' is gone. Is it how you call it? Hmmm......Anyway, ahahha ( too lazy to check dictionary, bare with my bad English for an entry please?), they were either going back to their hometown for good, graduated, or just being stupid and being kicked back to their hometown.

Why in the first place I write this entry? No idea as well.... Boring with this entry now

Btw. thank again to those who ease my boringness once awhile by either chatting, Vivz; playing pool, Wayne; and asking me favour with their blog html, Ammie.

Today with no Tomorrows

These few days, I was very bored and turn on the telly for more news than before. What I've noticed these days is that global warming is really kicking in. Crazy weather all around this rubbish globe. Warm winter in the Northern Hemisphere and cold summer in the Southern Hemisphere. It was hailing during Christmas in Melbourne 2006 and just raining for London...

Recent news was saying about Extinction of Polar Bear. Apparently they are dying because the iceberg they are standing are ceasing away. Since I am very small kid, I love animals. I had heaps of animals catalogues, pictorial books of animals. I've had countless hamsters, chucks, ducks, dogs, birds, fishes, etc. Chucks and ducks always end up in my granny's stomachs and I have no idea why I didn't have cats; not that I hate them... I had dreamt of becoming the Conservationist during adolescence, but I guess I am not in that ambition anymore. Not that I hated them now, I still love them, just that I love urban and a good home as well.

Speaking of extinctions, these days, more animals are on the wall than walking in their habitat. People think that having such animals on their walls are a pride. But they are damn wrong; hope that one day their own head are on their son wall. Cute little animals; Tigers, Rhinos, Sharks, Manatees, etc. got caught in the Extinction Marathon. Nevertheless, the fierce huge animals such as the red panda, bats, seahorses, wallabies are also losing. How cute are these little creatures!

Although they are frightening, they are cute as well.

Who is the winner in the end? Human races. But sooner or later, human races will be taken over by the Chuck race. Once the chucks start to cooperate with each other, they will come out with the best solution to kill us, the human race, who think they are so damn smart, when chucks are the mastermind of all evils. Chucks are involved in James Bond's missions as well as the Bush's decision on sending more troops to Iraq.

They might looked innocent, delicious creatures....But they are not! Beware Human Race

Bushfire!!!!!!!

This time around, Australia is always almost covered by bushfire... This bushfire happen almost every year, until those who stay in the regional place know the tactic of 'shoo-ing' the bushfire away.

One of my friend, Ben (B.Webb from Post grad Science) recently told me how they channel the fire and let the fire go around the house! What a brilliant idea. At first I thought it was impossible, but most of those people in the country do that, by putting off fire around the house. They definitely need to continue doing that non-stop and by looking at my friend's size, I am sure they can do it. He is double my size and about 3 feet taller than me....

Oh Okay. Speaking of bushfire, some people might wonder why this happens everywhere... In Biological Science term, the eucalyptus tree which is only found in Oz has volatile oil which excretes out during summer and due to the oven hot weather, burn is easily ignited. What fascinating about these trees are they have seedling which could only germinate when they were subjected to heat and fire! The studous parent tree basically need to burn to death only to let the offspring out! Touching. Hahaha

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh while we were in the story with the name of Ben, let me tell you all something.
There are heaps of Ben in Australia. It is like John in US, the most common name. I know like 4 of them, all in Aus. Although Ben Ho is not an Aussie, but he is in Aus. He is counted in as well. Hehehe. There is two Bens from Science, one Post grad and another is only Under grad (Ben HO/Who?. hehehe). Then there is Ben from Arts and then there is Ben from don't know which faculty but stayed in South3. There is another Ben from some other place and currently crashing over my friend's house. How many Ben is in Aus? I wonder...

Okay enough of crapping, time to watch Nip/Tuck Season4!!!!The story getting so so complicated, I starting to dislike it...........

Malaysia Boleh?

Malaysia Boleh! Is the shout for Malaysian in Malaysia. (means Malaysia can). I in particularly never said such thing out loud and proud...When I use this phrase, my Exclamation mark (!) will be replaced with Question mark (?) and when I talk bad about my own country. Hehehe

What can I say? Malaysian really BOLEH spend their money on useless stuffs, tallest building with empty offices, useless connection of bridges, heaps amount of traffic light in 1 straight road(about 13 of them...can u imagine that?). So where does this money come from? Of course from the petrol they extractedLAH. Overcharging the citizen with petrol, when it should be much more less...

They also very BOLEH in dividing everything racially. Malays should be included in every company in Malaysia and they should be in as high post as possible. WTF? Malays will get financial aids for parenting. WTF? In a public unversity, quota for Malays is 70%, no matter how stupid they are, and with loans. WTF? Malays do not need tax in PizzaHut. WTF?

Where is the Chineses and Indians? Ain't them Malaysian as well? What do they get?
Oooooh they get heaps apparently. They get to pay taxes which in turn goes to the Malays as financial aids. They get to be unemployed and get nothing.

Almost 90% of my chinese friends would not like to go back Malaysia to work. Will they find a job, this is another question. About half of my Malaysian friends in Oz will like to stay back for Oz Permanant Resident and work in Oz. Or they will go Singapore to work.

Maybe after another decades, there might be no more Chinese in Malaysia. Will Malaysia survive with that? I have no idea. Let's wait and see!

Black and White

The title is not related anything official and serious.
Summer is coming.......Daylight is longer than night and flies are definately more than winter.
Okay okay lets see what can I find stuffs in BLACK color and in WHITE color.

Shall we begin with BLACK:

• There is no such thing as white swan, ONLY BLACK swans (in Oz I mean)
• All the penguins are BLACK (Duh)
• There are more ALL BLACK cows in the fields, so is most of the horses
• There are famous cheapskate brand call BLACK & GOLD
• Aussie like to wear ALL BLACK clothes and dye their hair BLACK even they might be blonde or even beautiful white blonde
• People especially Asian is getting Darker because of the sun (super tan, one example is ME) while the white Aussie will get sun burn only. Which one better? Hmm........
• Heaps of ppl wearing sunshades which is BLACK to protect their eyes from the UV
• Black fat flies are everywhere trying to get into your mouth and nose.......
• and lastly more gals are wearing BLACK lingerie!!!!!!!!

Okay enough of black, lets talk about WHITE to evens out everything:

• There is about the same amount of WHITE sheeps in Oz, still don't see any black sheep yet
• There is definately more WHITE than yellow or black ppl (Duh again)!Eventhough they tried to tan themselves, ending up having skin cancer
• Aussie's hair has very light color, the best for me is still WHITE blonde
• the Oz famous nut is Macadamia nut which is WHITE
• most of the boardshorts in Oz (Billabong, Quicksilver) are WHITE
• Argh, I've no idea on anything that is WHITE anymore. If you people found out something feel free to send me a comment.
