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.....

Fire Hazardz

Since Vivz wanted to know what had happened to that incident last week, I shall write it over this entry.

If you people are back from holiday last week, and actually went for class, you might see heaps of fire trucks and ambulance over the Gippsland Campus Main Reception. Well this is what happened.

On Thursday, early in the morning, we had lab block which started from 9am to late in the evening of 6 pm. What is a lab block?
I am a science student, and what makes science student lost their life? Labs. Yes, we need to attend laboratory session every week, and carry out experiments regarding to our units. What is a lab block then? It is laboratory session which comprised of 1 week time, maybe lesser, and they the whole day, normally 9 am to 5pm.

And on thursday we have Bioactive Chemistry Lab Block, which involved in extracting organic proteins from materials. Okay back to the incident. On that day, we need to carry out 2 experiments at the same time. Extracting terpenes (something for you to find out, if you are interested, and have the hell of the free time) and setting up for the next experiment.

While setting up the next experiment, I've not done the extracting terpenes yet, we suddenly heard Micheal shouting loudly from the other side.

Ahhhh, Ahhhhh, Ahhhhh,......

He came over our side whole shouting and I saw his lab coat was on fire! Quickly he put the fire on his lab coat off. Amazed, I looked over his table, and I saw huge fire over the side of fumehood..... The fire was so fierce I could see Royce was stunt because of it. I was stunted as well.....But the fire was out after awhile, luckily.

Within a minute, we, only science faculty, need to be evacuate from the lab. Standing outside the assembly point for 1 hour, before heading to cafeteria for a free drinks! Waiting for the firemen to do something with that chemical spills and others just stand there for some huha. hahaha

Micheal's was slightly burned and was sent to the hospital. Luckily he was wearing safety goggle, if not, the flame will get onto his eyes.... Then it got me thinking.

What if this thing happen in Monash Malaysia Campus? What will happen. PS. The following thought was my prejudice thinking.

If this thing happen to Monash Malaysia, the whole campus is needed to be evacuated, because the laboratories are underground, and the whole campus was onto of the laboratories.

Micheal, if he studied in Monash Malaysia, will be damaged severely. Why?

1. They don't use safety goggle
2. They don't normally perform experiments in the fumehood

Maybe the whole campus will be ignited because the Malaysian fire department are inefficient.

Micheal will not be send to hospital right away. Just left him sitting around the corridors....

Why all these things might happen? Because the Malaysian are simply not prepared for these things to happen.

The City is alive!

Most respected person in Melbourne CBD, non-stop hulahoop for days

When you wake up, and you look out of your window, what do you see and hear? If you are staying in the city, what do you see and hear?

Car?

Smokes?

People opening the department stores?

Noises from traffic jams?

From these, do you think that the city is alive?

NO!!!

The city is not alive by these noises and these craps.....

It is the street performers who make the city (any city) alive!

They bring music into the city, instead of some kind of music from the department stores, they bring laughter to the city, they bring people to attention, and the most important thing is they bring LIVE to the city.

Every time I went down to Melbourne, I see people performing at every corner of the CBD (Central Business District). People with expensive guitars and stands. People that look like they slept at a trash corner somewhere. People who have decent looks playing on drum that is made of tins and basket. Kids playing X'mas songs with their electrical organ, saxophones. People from all different races.

What are their purpose. You might ask.

Each of them have different purpose. So are everyone on this lonely earth. Some of them are chasing their dreams in performing related business. Some of them are doing it so that they won't have stage-fright. Some of them have only one purpose. To earn a decent money, without breaking the law.

I, being my naive self, always think that money is easy to earn. Maybe I've not in such situation where I have to scrape the bottom of the barrel. But, there is always but, I got kick back to reality for this moment after watching The Pursuit of Happyness. This movie tells us about how bad can your luck be. Some people need money so desperately, that they hold dear to their 5 dollars like it is 1,000 bucks. These people on the street, some of them just want to earn so decent money. They do not give up no matter how deep they fell. Like the most famous person in Melbourne, not John So the Melbourne Mayor; the Asian guy doing hulla hoop for days without stopping for meals. Yes, he is the guy above!

I have never seen him, standing with his own leg, and have a meal before. Most of the time, when I am in the city, I will see him performing along Bourke Street or Swanston Street. He is that good, and determined to earn enough money for him to eat his dinner.

When I got tired of window shopping around city, the place you can find me is around Bourke Street Mall. I'll just sit there and see people perform. Aussie guy playing Chinese instruments; aussie guy blowing didgeridoo; bands playing in front of Myers Department Store; etc etc. They help me to kill some times before I heading back to Spotwoods, my aunt place.

Band performing at Bourke Street Mall, possibly outside Myers

I always pay them some money, coins every time I passed by. AND I URGE you people to do the same. We should appreciate such people. Without them, city would not be so alive.

P.S. It is ashame that Asian cities just don't have such things.

P.SS. Next time I am going to talk about graffiti. That I'll leave for next time.

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.

Grampians

Sunset at Grampians

It was 5am in the morning, when Kelvin tried his best to wake this drunken idiot up. I was still drunk when I went up the bus, only have 2 hours sleep. Managed to get heaps of sleep in the bus, because from Churchill to Grampians, it takes about 6 hours. When I woke up, we were already in Grampians!

Grampians

Reach the caravan park, and went for lunch. I was so so hungry that I went and buy one pineapple pizza, while waiting for my kangaroo souvlaki. Lunch wasn't so good. So I was determine to have better food for dinner.

Mackenzie's Fall

After lunch, we spent heaps of time at Mackenzie Fall. It was quite a nice fall, with some water. Years ago, it should have more water than now, but what can you expect from the world most dry continent.

Titin and I at Mackenzie Fall

Guys photo at one of the lookout. This is where we took the sunset. Freezing cold while waiting for the sun to set... We did go to the Jaws of Death lookout as well. Look pretty cool!

Best's Great Eastern Winery cellar

The next day we went to winery, for some wine tasting and tour around the winery. That place was pretty awesome, with smell of wine everywhere in the underground wine storage. Brought one bottle of Shiraz, but Cynthia brought like 3 bottles!

Photo of the vineyard.

Studio photo of me with barrel of wine? Nah, it is real. I can guarantee that.

Drunkards

The Leongs: One is drunk, one is undrunkable, and another one is gone (from this picture)

This entry should be posted on Saturday, but I was already on the way to Grampians trip. Okay, this is how it goes....

On friday night, after doing my bioactive assignment, my body and mind was eagered for some liquours. SO, when Wayne came to give me the sleeping bag for the Grampians, I begged him to bring me along to Tina's Birthday party. I wasn't invited, just crash the party for booze! I was planning to have some 'highness', and wanted to go back to sleep at 12.30am. So I thought/planned...

When we went into South 3, the first person who saw me, Sookie, said "WHY so LATE?" I answered that we are famous people and will come to party 'fashionably late'. She replied me with a smile and a big heavy punch... Ouch... When I first came in, Jackie greeted me and I told him I needed a drink. Anything will do. Very good of him, he got me a tequila. While talking with him and Byron over the counter, Farah came and took my tequila away. Dammit. Instead we were given Cowbow smoothies ( a smoothies will liqour). That was nice. Took a shot of that, followed with a beer given by Jackie. While drinking that beer, Byron shouted for another shot of Cowboy... Shot it down again, and I am slightly high to dance on the floor with most of the gals that day. I don't think I saw Selegne drunk yet and Sharon was scared of drinking because of last week...I wasn't drunk, till....

Okay, I have no idea what kind of drinks I drank that day, I definitely remember, I've two tequila shots. With the 'undrunkable' Sookie and 'controlable' Wayne. Tequila is awesome!!!! After those shots, I went and dance again. Had somemore shot again and followed by group shot again. Countless... When I started to get the feeling of drunk, all I did was dance around with gals (still sane enough not to dance with guys, you might not know at the down under...) Hahaha. Joking. All night long, I keep on telling everyone these three sentences:

Oh shit, tomorrow I am going to Grampians at 6am, and I am still partying now

I need to wake up early, and I am still drinking

Screw Grampians, I am staying to party (totally wasted)

After the last shot, should be like the 7th wine shot (wine also can shot; how pathetic huh), or maybe after 6th whiskies shot... I totally no idea. I was so drunk that I could not walk straight. I could not control myself anymore. I remember going up the laptops and speakers table and asked Sookie to find this song "Turn Me On" for me... But she could not find it, and I was in total wasted stage. Ben came to the party, in home shirt and a short. That guy play a prank on me while I am drunk. Asked me which gal I liked?.... I am not going to tell you people the answer, cause I am drunk (My excuses).

At that time, my Japanese was very fluent, as compared to normal awake stages. I think I need to be in a drunk situation to speak fluent Jap? I wonder.... That time I don't think anymore. I just speak out loud. Haha. I was dragged back to my home, South 6. Using the $60 Grampians trip which I paid as a motivator to move me. That wasn't all. But I am not going to tell you people what happen in my room... That will remain a secret. Hahaha

Okay, the next day Kelvin came and woke me up. Tried twice, but in vain. The last time, he used the same thing again, " You are going to Lose 60 bucks", and right away I was sitting on my bed... Hahaha. Went up the bus, still in a drunk stage... Luckily the trip took 6 hours, and I was totally awake after that time.

No hangover, I wonder why.But most of the stuffs went out to be cloudy and blur...

Penangites (especially Penang guys)

Hurrah!!!!!! This entry is my 50th in this blog. Okay shall we start crapping of something nice?

For those who don't know, I am a Penangite. I lived and bred in Penang, one of the Pearl of Oriental. I don't know whether she is a pearl, but she is the food heaven for me and most people from Malaysia. Although some people outside Malaysia denied that, I dared them to go eat and compare our foods with theirs. Penang is a State; yes it is. We have our own Penang flag and her state songs.

People that I came across often have the same reactions when I tell them I from Penang.

"Ahhhh"
"I kinda figured it out"
or even "You have the same attitude as etc etc."
and etc etc.

What make us so different from other Malaysian? Okay I am going to list again!

We extremely loved our state. She is the most beautiful place ever, despite Sungai Pinang....

We not only loved our state desperately, we missed and loved our Penang foods. How can you find a good and cheap wan tan mee for only RM3 (AUD1)? Why do we need to go to restaurant and have a Rm15 wan tan mee, when I can sit at the road side and have RM3 wan tan mee, that is even more delicious! In food we are all Penang-sided, what my housemates like to call it. No other place have the better food than Penang. Char Kuey Teow and Hokkien Mee (Prawn Mee for other people) is always the prime product of Penang? Penang is excellent in all kind of Hokkien and Chinese foods!

This make some of us cheapskate. WHY? Well we can get so cheap and good foods, why don't we follow the trend? People will start complaining when the food price rocketed high up to Rm3... Hawkers who sell their foods at Rm4 and above, they better be bloody damn good, else they are doom to earn nothing! Don't get me wrong. Some place, they sell the foods at Rm15 and people are queing up for that road side stall. Why? I have no idea. I never been there before, too far and expensive....

We also take our food very seriously. Food is the prime topic we talked about, when we are outside. Where to find the best place for Char Kuey Teow, and at the same time, it is not too far. Penang is so small, as compared to other state, still we do not like travelling. We don't see the point of going to some places, that need to take about 1hr drive....

Okay then they say we have the same attitudes. Being the small state, Penangites are more friendly, happy-go-lucky, and etc etc (I hope). We are closer to each other, because Penang is a small island. We are definitely not as Materialistic as other people (mostly from the capital). Sorry KL people, not that I condemn you people or anything. You people should know it yourselves! One of my distance relatives, actually throw her mother to an old folks home, and never talk to her even until she passed away... That poor distance-granny of mine suffered for about 1 year, and the people who visited her are us, the distance grandsons and granddaugthers from Penang... Her own grandkids don't even care about her... How sad? I condemn those people.

Once you got us into talking about Penang and her foods, we wont able to stop. We will continue until the next day and we can still miss it, even we just came back from Penang.

Some people said we have similar styles as well. They said most of us are Ah Beng and Ah Lian. (some kind of cheapskate style or something). Well, Penang was swarm with those people ages ago. But the time before I left Penang, it is getting better. And not all of us are Ah Beng and Ah Lian.... I missed Gurney Plaza and now the latest mall just open in Penang is Queensbay Mall. I did not get the chance to go there.... Huhuhu.....

Another thing is that we have our own Penang dialect! Penang Hokkien. No other Malaysian could speak like us in Penang, not even Taiwanese. We are definitely proud of our own dialect, and this dialect make us closer to each other.

Lastly, Penang will always be in every Penangites mind and thought. Everyone of us will dream, think and talk about Penang all the time. No matter where are we, and when is that. Not everyone like to go away from Penang, and to those who did, they will find someplace similar to Penang!

PS - I rewrite this blog. Because some error in publishing, and it deleted my first entry.

PSS - the beautiful picture of Penang is from Jason Lim (a proud penangite!)

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.

Mahjong麻雀

These few days I did not blog as often as I did. This is because MAHJONG! I started playing mahjong only after I reach Australia... First game was in Daylesford's vacation house, played with one bunch of aunties and gay uncles (they are my aunt's mahjong group friend)...

Then last last week, Kelvin (my housemate) start asking people to play mahjong. Although I played a few games in Daylesford, we were playing beginner mahjong. No "13 yu" no this and that.... Play the few round, but really suck in that. I had no idea how to do strategies. Luckily Kel still good enough to teach me, using the hard way.... He might be a good teacher, but the method of teaching he used is something like the Singaporean Army Force (SAF).... Okay, let's introduce to people what is Mahjong.

It was believe Mahjong derived from Confusious, THE greatest philospher of China. Like normal poker cards, every pattern have 4 similar tiles. There are big tiles: East, South, West, North, Red Dragon 中(middle), Green Dragon (prosperity), White Dragon (white board). Then of course you have Dots, Bamboos, and Character tiles.

Mahjong is a very good game because it need you to think quite a lot, when you are doing strategy. What kind of strategy? Well depends on your luck as well. They said when you loved your tiles enough, all the good one will come to you. If not, the one that you throw out, will come back.... Anyway, not going to talk much about mahjong. Want to know more, go google it yourself. Busy playing mahjong.

Melbourne Pictures - 17.3.2007

Hormones

Your body is in constant change!!! You started to grow when the hormones in your body increase your cell metabolism. Let's be more specific and choose a specific spot to elaborate this terminology.

When you reached adolescence, some part of your body will increase in size, because of the hormones in your body.

It become bigger and filled with blood.

In adolescence, you still can't control It's growth.

When It grows big, you will be embarrassed and tends to hide It away.

When you are curious about that It, and you played with It, It will burst with some kind of juice...

After all the juice is out of It, you will definitely feel good of yourself.

When blood start coming up from It, you will be worry...

Hair might start to grow, and if you are influenced by the norm of the community, you start shaving It.

Sometime, It will bleed when you shave It... And it hurts real bad.

But when you become older, you'll spend less time with It.

It no longer grow as much as you recalled, and you can control It already.

It won't come up when you don't want It to be.

To some people, It has it's own name.

But to some uncreative person, It's name started with P-

By now, You people should know what It is.

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....

Drawn Together

From L-R: Wooldoor, Toot, Ling-Ling, Foxxy, Xandir, Clara, Spanky Ham, Captain Hero

These few days, if you see what I am doing in my room, I am kinda hooked to this cartoon called Drawn Together! This nice little innocent cartoon is an animated reality show from America, in which 8 famous cartoon characters are drawn together and so happen to be in the Big Brother House! (Those who stayed in a Western countries should know what is Big Brother Show).

Similar to Big Brother (where all the casts are real people), Drawn Together touches: incest, homosexual, sex, spousal abuse, racism, etc etc. But it is not as harsh as South Park and had some Simpsons stupidity. Some of the joke is awfully lame, but at the same time not that completely lame because it is a cartoon!

This is the characters in the animated reality show:

• Captain Hero - perverted, macho egoist Superman, along with other superheroes characteristics


• Foxxy Love - a character from Josie and the Pussycats. She sounded perverted and loved SM as well.


• Princess Clara - racist, naive, and pampered princess (in the form of Ariel from Little Mermaid; but no fishtail)


• Ling-Ling - Pikachu from Pokemon, but speak pseudo-Japanese gibberish....


• Spanky Ham - the funniest character, that Ben Ben like the most. ( I prefer Foxxy Love!)


• Toot Braustein - fat-love-eating-bitch character from the oldies, Betty Boop.


• Wooldoor Sockbat - cute but weird, in a form of Spongebob Squarepant


• Xandir Wifflebottom - homosexual game character from The Legend of Zelda

It is an awesome cartoons and I urge you perverted people to watch it!!!!!! Aussie channel is in SBS, Monday 9-9.30pm. But I have already downloaded the Season 1 and 2. You might as well download it from internet!!!!!!Speaking of perverted, Yannick did say, "This cartoon will increase your pervertism (pervertism - word I made it myself)". How many guys out there are not pervert? I reckon all of us are!!!!! Hahahaha. Don't you dare disagree with me..... Some of my friends (both blokes and gals) said, "Guy/Bloke who is not pervert, is not a guy/bloke".

When you walk past a beautiful gal, or even some other people missus, you will definitely check her out! And when you walk with your bunch of friends (all guys), you people will speak to each other using your eye-brow in the way you can tell him/them to look at the particular pretty! I won't said it out loud about the blokes secret gesture!!!!! Sorry all my missus!!!

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.

Gosh, it has been 10 days seen I post an entry. Sorry guys, this is the result of Chinese New Year bloging moodless and I was kinda busy with the O-week. This year I am a mentor for some poor young soul who just came to University. Oh, I was busy finishing my 8k report as well. Finally handed in that stupid thing!!!!

Okay, back to CNY. This year was different as compared to the time I celebrated in Malaysia. The CNY eve, we went to eat some Northen Chinese cuisine in Dumpling King in Box Hill. Not bad, but the place was kinda hot. It was 38 degree outside and inside is worse... Then the first day of CNY (Sunday, lucky, cause CNY is not a public holiday) we went for dim sum for brunch! Was in Plume at High Point and the place was chock a block with people (Mostly Chinese, Vietnamese etc etc)... Did not get as much ang pow (red packet) as the time in Malaysia, anyway, it is only my aunt.

Then went back to gippy on Tuesday. Right after I reach gippy, I was in a busy mode. Tuesday nite went for Free Dinner at Student Union Lounge. Wednesday we got the Meet the Mentor session, which I am the Mentor. After the games and stuffs, we need to prepare for the Flag Ceremony. This year I am holding the Japan flag!!!! Whoopas! Thursday was the day I surrender my report at 11pm... and Friday was the International Big Day Out. The places in the BDO was fun, but I liked the Aussie Bush Dance the best!!!! You might think that it is an aboriginal dance, it is not. Fool You, and me. It was some traditional country dance, something like the Scotish and Irish dance.

It is time to stop this crapping. Class is starting real soon....

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!

Chinese New Year 春節

Every year around this time, it has to be the most important holiday in every Chinese communities! Chinese New Year: the new year celebration or the harvest celebration or the first day of spring celebration. Chinese New Year is the time where people wear their new clothes, clean their house (before the First day of CNY), get more spending money from the 'Ang Pow' or money from gambling with your relatives, and reunion dinner. I suppose it is similar to Christmas for the Western culture; instead of giving presents which might not be useful to the person, you give money to him/her. And only people who are married need to give out such thing. Hehehe.

Well, CNY definitely changed heaps since I was very young. Some people did say that the CNY will become less meaningful when you grow up by each year. When I was small, we (Malaysian) still could play fire crackers. I still remember, 1 weeks before CNY, I've already played about rm100 of fire-crackers. They consisted of Chicken, Bee, Dinosaur's Egg, etc etc. Those 80-ies babies from Malaysia will know what I mean. That was when I was still in primary school.

When I went into secondary school, the government had already banned fire crackers. Back then I still have the elders giving me thick-moneyful-ang-pow, and my Ang Pow money can go up to about rm500 everyyear. Not very much, but still a big amount for a kid. When elder started going (you know where I meant), and kid becoming more grown up, CNY was just another holiday.

Since the death of my granny, my family rarely go to Granny house for the First day of CNY. Although my uncle still staying in Granny house, we just don't see the point of going there. Instead, my past 2 years of CNY involved of us travelling to some other place. Less cousin and relatives are going to sit together and chat and play card games/mahjong. Even these years around, we guys don't buy that much new clothes anymore. It was used to be like 5 sets of new clothes (more for the gals), but now, it is just not practical to go hunt for 15 sets of clothes. I rather stay at home and play computer games. Hahaha.

This year is even worse. I won't be going back Penang for CNY because my semester going to start 1 week after CNY, and my summer project hasn't end until the Fifth day of CNY... I reckon I will be missing CNY next year as well. Oh well, change is inevitable.
Okay better go back to my 8k report... 恭喜發財 (Gong Xi Fa Chai/ Kung Hei Fatt Choi/ Keong Hee Huat Chai)

Melbourne Trip - Makan Trip

It was 6am in the morning. I was woken up by my bloody stupid alarm clock of my mobile phone. I remembered now, Wayne and I are heading to the city. Yeah you get me right, 6am wake up just for city ‘dwelling’. I was convincing myself that Wayne would not able to wake up at this ungoshly hour and I should just go back to sleep. But my room phone rang and disproved my convincement. It was already 6.10am when I realise I really need to be at the bus stop at 6.45am…

Rush rush rush, was pretty blur with everything exactly. Well manage to pack my clothes and other junks into 1 bag. Other stuffs were kinda blur. Reach Morwell earlier than we planned for and headed to city earlier! Just when we were about to reach city, we were being FFK-ed (Fong Fay Kay-ed) by Ammie… Second time of FFK-ing. Anyway, reach Melbourne early and Vivien hadn’t wake up yet. Both of us are being stupid and bored, went to hunt for a cheap and good place to cut my hair.

Hunted for quite sometime and place, around Chinatown, and around Melbourne Central. Little that we know, when we were about to give up home (or I was about to give up home), we found a salon. Cheap, 20 bucks with washing the hair, and a great cut by a Korean guy. Luckily we were up early and there was not much appointment that day. I am so damn happy, finally found some great stylist who can cut my hair without me regretting it when I go out of the salon. Wayne’s hair was cut by a local Aussie, typical Aussie boring type. Sorry Wayne, I need to snatch the Korean stylist.

We were just too free that the reason we went down to City was because of Wayne’s convincing me about pretty showgals and cars for the F1-showcase. It turns out to be just an old unused F1 car with a plump Indian lady with uniform…. Total disaster! But that Haircut was a total Success! After taking so grafitti pictures, we went to hunt for Chee Heong’s Olympus camera cable. It was bloody expensive, 53bucks for 1 cable…

That was about that time when Vivz called me. Went to Melbourne Central to find her and we started heading to place for Dim Sum (for lunch). Just when we were walking to Chinatown, along Swanton Street, we passed Ghao Khin (reckon it spelt that way), Vivz was saying Chun Yau was working over there. After long time spotting him, we did went in and dine, just of Chun Yau sake. Hehhee

Thai foods were nice; soft shelled crab with spicy papaya salad! Oh the toilet was even better; both Vivz and I agreed on that. Not that I went to the same toilet with Vivz… Anyway, then we head to Smith Street. Quite far from the CBD, no idea how to go there in the beginning. When we reach CBD, Wayne had only 1 hour before he need to go back to Gippsland. I will be staying overnight in my aunt place, so being more relax than him.

Now I know why my other friends like to go Smith Street! A road with all the factory outlet from the famous sportwears: Adidas, Nike, Fila, Billabong etc etc. They were bloody cheap as well. But I need to stop buying. After 2 hours over there, Wayne really need to go back to Flinders Street Station.

Send him off; Vivz and I started walking up the CBD, was planning to call it a day. Then realise I will be meeting my Aunt in Vic Market at 8.30pm. Went for a drink (because both of us are thirsty) at a restaurant of an alley. Unique Melbourne style restaurant. Then as it was still early, we went back to Vivz place and had a few chit chat with Audrey.

After The Simpsons, we went out for dinner. Was planning to go to Jackies Kitchen, but that place on that day was eccentrically and unbelievably empty. Dare not to go in and dine, we headed to a Korean restaurant. That place was awesome, good Korean style foods, too bad I can’t eat beef and Audrey and Vivien can’t eat spicy. All we had are Chicken Bibimbap, Chicken Ginseng, and some mix veggie hotplate. The dishes were so huge, but luckily we can finish those.

Of course the other days involved of me hidding in the house for fear of the 38 degree day and having Peking Duck!!! Yummy!!!

PS. No Peking Duck picture. Hand is just too dirty to take any picture

Distance Relationship

Sometime when I looked at my friend's relationship, they always get me pondering. Two of my best friends, Nina and Hooi Yee, got boyfriends from A-levels, one in Singapore and another one in Hong Kong. People should know who are they, oh well the A-Level Monkey should know.

Anyway what is the good thing with distance relationship? Distance relationship means you need to go through the hell of time without each other. Having this fear that that person might went and find another partner and left you behind. Having this constant disbelieve. Feeling the same feeling as a Single Person, just that you got some person to release your stress!

Well from this fear and disbelieve, most of the relationship will just go down hill... Having such feeling, you might be single again... Then there is another question, Is it a good thing to start a relationship from a distance relationship?

Let put it in a case. Let say Adam is living in Ipoh, and Eve is living in Kuala Lumpur. The distance between Ipoh and KL is about 2 hours. Adam knows Eve when Eve is studying in Ipoh. However only when Eve had moved back to KL, Adam got closer with Eve and vice versa. Although it is only 2hour distance, is it a good to start this relationship? AND although they get closer, does it means that Eve will like Adam back? Maybe Adam's feeling is just admire? not love? So one good advice, don't think too much. Just do it.

Love and relationship is not like mathematics. One plus one is not equal to two. There is no direct answer and there is no expiry date for such thing as well. Valentine is coming soon, to all the single people, keep up your good work in finding the ONE. To all the couple, don't lazy and buy a super lousy present that make the date dumped you on the spot! Hehehehe
