2 birds wit 1 rock
Well I decided to go book my air ticket at Jean Monteiro today since Shawn did that without telling me <_< . Yesterday he was saying how good looking the staff at Jean Monteiro's was. Her name was Simone. Well the first time I met her, I didn't really ogle at her, because I was there on business and when I was there, it was her first time at work there.

So today I went there and sort things out wit Simone instead of Jean Monteiro; the owner of the company.

Shawn is somehow attracted to her. Well anybody who are friends with me should know that I am quite mean when it comes to discussing about people or things. I tend to hantam them kau kau and then whoever is conversing wit me end up both laughing alot about it but this time, Shawn started it first. Saying something about preferring to deal wit Simone then Jean Monteiro with the sentence, "I don't want raisin... I want ribena berry"

On the way home, Yus; the staff from my college called and told me that my invitation letter to the graduation ceremony next week 15th was ready for pick up so I went there before going home.

While waiting for Yus to pass me my envelope, this meddling person there called Molly, suddenly came and gave me lecture on what to wear at the graduation ceremony. I gave her a look indicating that I didn't need to hear her crap and she got the signal. I still wonder what is her purpose in the college.

Shaving Suxx
I just shaved and frickin cut myself on my chin... wit a gilette mach 3. Yeah I cut myself wit a triple blade shaver <_< and it hurts like frickin hell. Maybe it's because I added listerine to the bleeding. Listerine is one of the best antiseptics around the household for wounds. It ain't just a mouth wash!!!

I hate shaving. Girls who like clean shaven men better appreciate it when their guys shave their faces for them.

oh my frickin' head...
8th June 2004 - Tuesday

woke up at sometime noon today because of my dog barking at God knows what outside. I told him to shuddup but guess he doesn't understand english that well.

Woke up and was online reading articles, the same usual ordinary day when I'm have no where to go. Sometime in the afternoon Enoch suddenly called out my name at the back of my house. I was like... what the crap, looked out my window and saw him there. Apparently he did not pay his phone bills so he couldn't make calls. He came to my house to make some phone calls and also practiced singing Joshua Kadison's "Beautiful In My Eyes" for his sister in law's wedding dinner. Guess who has to play guitar for him T-T . Its at Equatorial Bangi. (BANGI!!!)

Finally found Saber Marionette J complete anime after how many years of searching. But then I realized it was in .ogm format. Who the heck so free to create such a video format. I had to reorganized my cluttered divx codecs to prepare for that anime and use different media players to play them and their interface suxx. The only benefit about .ogm files are that you can switch between languages for audio if available, most of the animes by default are english which really bothers me. Animes should be watched in its original language with subtitles! Btw, I haven't even figured out how to activate subtitles <_<.

Well today my one side of my house gate collapsed. Again. And I saw my other dog; the one that stays outside missing. So I guessed she must've sneak out through the hole of the gate which was not standing straight. When I went out, I saw some neighbour chasing her out of their house. And I shouted at her to get back in my house which she did.

In the evening I suddenly had a headache and tried sleeping. It didn't work. So I went to badminton with a headache and the recovering injured left leg. Lost all games played.

Zenden, called (after a long long while) and talked to me about his n-gage. I wouldn't think a person like him would buy an n-gage, cos he doesn't support nokia products. He was trying to find out what the phone can do and all that and talked about meeting up with me (for the Xth) time but never ever materialized.

Sigh when I'm over at Australia, there won't be mamak food for me for one and a half years. I love nasi lemak. Guess won't be having that for a while <_<.

Animes Are Inspiring
7th JUNE 2004 - MONDAY

somewhere the night before, I was talking to Afzal about me downloading Chobits and he recommended using bit torrent as it would be more reliable, I thought what the heck just give it shot. Afzal said usually it downloads at 30kbps more or less while kazaa is really pathetic nowadays. When I was downloading the Chobits; the whole 24 episodes the speed was around 122kbps and Afzal couldn't believe it, so I sent him a screenshot. Later in the early mornings I checked before playing warcraft with Shawn, the speed was up to 222kbps (even wow for me) and best part was there was no lag while playing with Shawn.

9am woke up and saw that my download was complete.
And to think that it took me the weekend to download 3 episodes of Chobits, while this bit torrent did the whole series within less than 12 hours.

Today I was suppose to wake up at 9am to go collect my passport. I woke up before then but went back to sleep again. It's a bad habit, I always seem to be able to wake up before the alarm clock goes off but then I refuse to get up any sooner. Today I didn't set my alarm to wake me up cos my dad said he would do the waking. I didn't feel like getting up at all when suddenly the muscles in my lower left leg tighten and felt like it was being twisted inside. It hurt like hell... Like my leg could've might as well just break off since I was in agonizing pain. This however is not the first time I've experienced this... only last year onwards once in a while it will happen to either my left or right leg when I'm sleeping on the bed.
This problem cannot be relieved that easily, if I move, the muscles will tighten even more and hurt even more, the same goes if I relax the mucles, the only way was to hold the position till the pain very very very slowly subsides.
The weird thing of this problem is that it happens when I need to get up, as far as I can recall. Or just keeps me from getting the sleep I need.

So I got up and went to wake my dad. Yes he was sleeping. Well can't blame him the weather was so cool and comfortable for sleeping in after how many days of blazing hot and humid weather. I'm interested to experience the four seasons of Melbourne. Yeah so we got out, had breakfast and went to collect my passport which took only like fifteen minutes. Badawi, or should I say Pak Lah rox.

Got home had nothing to do, so I decided to do Chobits marathon, watched the entire series from 11am till 4pm. After watching the hardships that the main character (what's his face) went through, I was inspired, motivated and wililng to face whatever life difficulties that Uni-Life abroad has in store for me minus the cute chobit chick. (damn)

Well had dinner at my uncle's place (again) not to my preference as usual. Came back and Afzal dropped by and passed me some cds to burn the Chobits series in. I feel kinda lazy as I have yet to burn my own copy of Chobits and other series on my 80+40gb hdd. I'm trying to back up all my goodies in preparation for my new computer.

Chobits is one of the best anime I've ever seen, well it is almost a big impression as Love Hina; my first anime recommended by Shawn. In short and rather rough way of explaining why I like this show is because I find a dumb cute girls trying to learn things in life quite appealing. Especially when they get the teachings wrong. If there are any animes with beautiful/cute girls, you can be sure sooner or later I will get around to finding out about them and watching them. (buahahaha) A girl's innocence turns me on.

Well the main character Hideki Motosuwa is a ronin student, a student that failed to get into a university cos of bad grades. So he decides to try again by taking the exam the following year. He moves to the city and rents an apartment. Life was tough for him as he found that chobit chick and now became even poorer as he had to support the chobit chick as well. But fortunately he found a job and worked and seemed like he was able to provide for himself and her. Well... he also did receive alot of help from the people around him.

I wish my experience in Australia could be similar to that. But I don't think the chobit thing will happen.

Sunday... one of the good ones I've had
Well I managed to wake up to the sound of my alarm clock today to go for dim sum breakfast with Enoch and Alice at nine something in the morning at a new shop in Uptown.

It was fairly good, but then I don't eat dim sum much so I wouldn't know what would be good and what would be terrible, I usually order the common stuff that they can't possibly screw up like the fried turnip cake, and char siew pau, this time they didnt have the fried prawn in batter thingy. I'm still quite confuse what is lobakow and chai tau kueh. pple say they are the same thing but I realize that calling it different will bring u a different form of preparation for it. My case however i prefer the square ones and not the one that is fried like char kuay teow.
During that meal I discovered Alice has one thing in common with me which is that we both are lazy to go out (walk/drive) to find food eventhough its nearby and would rather find something in the house to eat. Well for me if I have nothing to eat I don't mind, I can wait till the next meal time comes.

Church time... I arrived early and everybody (except me) were having prayer meeting so I was sitting down thinking then I decided to be different today, I went behind the musical instrument cabinet and tucked in my shirt into my pants which I seldom do... Well that attracted alot of peoples' attention (nyahahaha). Well I succeeded in that. The potong steam part was Eunice asked me why my pants were so high up -_-". I wanted to say that my legs were long and my torso was short, but it somehow didn't get to my mouth, I just said 'no lar normal wor.' Some people said I looked funny cos I never usually tuck in my shirt.

After church service finished my mom abandoned me and left me wit my uncle to send me home cos she wanted to go to office and do work. My uncle didn't take me home instead took me back to his house and said 'later I'll send you back'. So I spent the whole day there doing stupid things on the computer with my cousin till dinner time.

After dinner now I'm finally back in my seat in my room... (ahhh... bliss)
Watched 2 more episodes of chobits... Chii is sooooo cute >_<

Each day passes I feel more and more discouraged and gelabah cos my mom hasn't acquired the financial means to pay for my first semester at Swinburne University and I need to get the cash and my form in by next week or ASAP in order for them to process it and send me the letter to get my VISA and a medical checkup. Everyday wasted is a day closer to succession in screwing this big time for me. I've got this one shot and I don't wish to blow it. Oh dear God please help me. T-T

things dont appear as they seem especially when you're paranoid
well today I didn't really do much, woke up at 12pm (again) and just sat around the computer reading n-gage forums and my own forum.

and checked my kazaa to find that chobits was taking forever to download. Since I had nothing to do I thought I'd burn Full Metal Panic 1 and 2 for Ryan me goodest friend since high school, since his cd's were already with me for a long while now... I did manage to finish it with even an extra cd to boot. before passing the cds to me, Ryan counted and he said he was one cd short, I didn't really like the idea of having to use my own cd-rs as I was running low on them myself... but good things turned up and he had an extra cd left which he asked me to fill with some 'power' stuff.

and while I was up to burning cds, I thought I would also burn the Michael Buble album for Eunice since she asked me last week (where she actually went out wit Enoch, Bee Lee and me for lunch, imagine that! [actually to my knowledge she rarely socializes wit us] so i was quite happy that day)

while burning the michael buble cd, i'd thought she might be interested to listen to the sounds of india arie, so I said, what the heck just burn it for her as well and hope that she likes it.

Saturday Night practice, night practice~ we know how to do it...

before I left my house, I had a strong feeling to ask my cousin Jerome online whether Eunice showed up for church today, cos usually she doesn't attend saturday night rehearsals. to my joy Jerome said she did. on my way to church i sms'ed Eunice just to check if she was still at church, she replied saying she was having dinner.

then again i just felt like asking her if she was having dinner wit Enoch. she said 'yes. why?' i just replied 'i sensed it' although later in the night Enoch did not admit to having dinner wit her O_o so... i'm not really sure now.

well the first thing I did went i came to church was too find her *grins* and pass her the cds, and there she was playing the acoustic guitar looking as cute as ever.

when she was done wit the guitar, i grabbed it and played Jason Mraz's 'You and I Both'. I was surprised she knew the lyrics to that song and sang along wit me and my other friends were backing me up wit the bass and e-guitar... *woohoo*

after the rehearsal Eunice came to the drums and watched me play on them for a while. now she knows a thing or two about drums as well so i invited her to play a bit but she refused... <_<
later when i got off to play on the guitar she sneakily went to the drums and played... although it was very soft i could hear it... not too bad for a person who hasnt played for years...

when she was bored wit our (Max[guitarist], Mathew[bassist] and me) jamming session she told Max she wanted to go home, well Max has just gotten his P license so Im guessing he brought her here and suppose to bring her back home. so Max had to go and send her back... sad for him, but even sadder for me... oh well... thats how its to be i guess... i envy him though.

came home and saw that 3 episodes of chobits have been completed *WOOHOO* played gunbound for a while and after that watched the first episode of chobits and was laughing alot, quite cute and funny the show... i still wonder why none of my friends (guys) mentioned anything about it though...
okay its 3am now i gotta sleep cos tomorrow suppose to go wit Enoch and Alice (Enoch's wife) to eat dim sum at 9am. hope i can get up this time. me set alarm clock.

Today is Friday
and I can't think of anything interesting or fun to write about. Well I was suppose to have Dim Sum for breakfast with Enoch at around 9 something this morning but I had difficulty sleeping last night. I slept at 4am. Probably due to playing warcraft with Shawn.(lalala)

Furthermore this morning I wondered what the heck was my father doing blasting the TV so loud it woke me up and I was well pissed. You know that crappy feeling when you're sleeping and you suddenly wake up. It feels like somebody just bashed a giant rock on your head. So after that whole thing died down I tried to go to sleep again. Shortly after the phone rang, the ringing tone indicated that it was Enoch, I was too frickin tired to answer it so I let it ring.

When I finally got up around noon my eyes were bloodshot and they hurt. Went online and discussed with Shawn more on preparations for going Australia.
Discussed even while playing warcraft with him.


Well I went for my Young Adults bible study group at Enoch's place. Enoch sms'ed me asking what did Bee Lee cook. I told him some pasta sauce and he was gonna cook the pasta over at his place. I got a reply from Enoch asking me why didn't Bee Lee tell him about it and because of that will cause the bible study session to be late.

What am I? The oracle? Even the oracle won't tell of such things... <_< I just left it at that and Bee Lee was in one of his weirder moods. I say weirder cos normally, he's just weird.
On the way back Bee Lee bugged me to go cyber cafe again with him which I once again refused. I've told him countless times before that I don't like going to cyber cafes anymore. I have my own computer and connection at home which is far more superior and has a cleaner and safer environment.

And he starts questioning why was I acting so strange today. Can you imagine that...
Oh well finally I got home. Thank God for a house.

2nd Day of Pneoblogging
wait... you must be thinking 'where is the first day!?' well you see i made one using some other website's and figured that it couldn't be linked to my website so that really wasn't for me... however i saved it and pasted it here for your reading. here it goes...

2/6/04
Well... my first day of blogging and already I screwed up. I was typing about like a thousand characters about what happened to me today... and I thought I opened a new browser to check my spelling. Turns out I didn't and when I clicked 'back' all my typing was gone... this is so bullshit.

*SIGH* anyways here I go again.

I managed to finally fall asleep at around 4am or so, I don't really know cos I don't have a clock that I keep looking at to see what time I fall asleep. Just when I got comfortable my mom woke me up at about 9am suddenly wanting me to take her to see this agency that handles my applications for universities overseas. Went there about 11am and finished at 1pm... that was frickin long... and so many procedures to do, for preparing... I was going through some of the forms that needed filling up as soon as possible and saw that it required passport number. I didn't have an international passport.

When I got home I set out to the near by photoshop(s) around my housing area wit my dad on a bike, we move fast on a bike and its nearby so yeah. Some uncle was like busy getting his mug taken wearing suit and all for God knows what... so I had to come back later in the day, on the way home it decided to rain and I was soaked. I wonder why the rain stopped so coincidentally right after I got into my house.

So yeah I got home and like did what I usually do everyday when I don't have classes. Sit in front of my computer, mindless and go through some websites to find anything that would be interesting to read or not...

Oh yeah I was chatting with Shawn online and apparently the agency gave some aunty our phone numbers cos her son was to go to the same university with us at the same time and he apparently had graduated from our college like last year but he didn't enrol in the January intake. This woman is well... vexing, when she called Shawn she asked all kinds of questions one which too my disliking went something like this

woman : are you a christian?
Shawn : yeah
woman : which church do you go to?

I mean come on... why is she doing all of this? wait it gets better I thought that lightning would just hit Shawn and I would be home free, turns out it was a chain lightning. She called me soon enough and asked me about when I was going to leave for Australia, I replied maybe around 1 week before commencement date and she can ask me 'why so early!?' C'mon AUNTY!!! you wanna like land the aeroplane right on the commencement date and stroll into class? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!? *takes a deep breath*

anyway she asked for my flight number when I clearly told her I haven't begun any preparations yet as I just came back from the agency. That somehow didn't register in her head. I told her when I have the info then I would call her. I hope to be able to get flight tickets wit Shawn and then only tell her of it.

This woman expects me and Shawn to be buddies wit her son, when we don't even know who the heck is he and why does his mother gotta do all of these for him? Even finding friends!? COME ON!!! We're like going to university for crying out loud... it ain't kindergarden.

well Shawn seemed very relaxed about preparations and stuff, he wants to go there 2 weeks before commencement date, I'm wondering why 2 weeks, what is 2 weeks for, I think the important things like making a bank account and finding accomodations (which I have a plan already) shouldn't take two weeks.

I don't even have a passport yet... *sigh* I have to wake up early again tomorrow to go make my passport. Thank God that now it takes around 24 hours (more or less) to make and collect the passport. Its my first international passport, I haven't been overseas before, I'm such a jakun. <_<

Oh well its like 1:30am already I better try to get some sleep otherwise passport making session might seem impossible.

3/6/04

Today I had to wake up like 7am to go and get my passport done... some people said it would be hell to wait some people said it would be very very fast... Well I kinda ended up in the middle a little to the fast side. I arrived there at about 8:21am and finished everything by 8:50am. Not too shabby I say... after that I went home and slept... when I woke up I felt like a giant rock just fell on my head, I thought it was already 6pm because usually when I have my afternoon nap I wake up at 6pm, then I saw the clock and it showed 1pm. I was like... great, so what am I gonna do for the next few hours...

and then the search for a better blog happened. Who would've thougth that angelfire provided their very own blogger that could be linked to meh own website! roxorz... gotta go now, I'm freakin hungry and I'm suppose to play warcraft with Shawn after I find food...

Dinner was expensive, Bee Lee picked me up to go Ikano Power Center. His reason being that he never ate dinner there before. (...) He wanted to eat at the food court there. I said 'hey, if you wanted to eat hawker like food, we should've gone to hawker stalls' so we were walking till I somehow got sucked in or suckered into this place called Fasta Pasta. every main course was like rm14 above... well I didn't see much reason in paying that much for noodles but what the heck, I tried it out, ordered ravioli. It had so little meat in it I felt like eating just carbohyrdrate. We didn't bother ordering drinks from there seeing that kind of environment only cater to rich people.

After that we walked to Tesco where I wanted to buy some drinks. I was at this express lane queueing up till it finally got to my turn the cashier guy (who looked gay) put the 'cashier close' sign in front of me. So I had to go find some other long queue to wait in. When I finally paid for my stuff and wanted to leave I saw the cashier that closed the lane on me, was tending to people again. Some luck I have.

I went out to dinner wit my friend to try to release tension but it just made it worse. Oh well that's my life for you ladies and gentleman. Not bad blogging for one day ain't it!?
