Daylight Savings (yesterday)
Yesterday started the day of Daylight Savings for Melbourne, where we adjusted our times to 1 hour ahead.
So now I am 3 hours apart from Malaysia, as oppose to only 2 hours.

I have been rather busy with university assignments this whole year seeing that it is my final year. I hope it is my final year, meaning not failing any subjects in order to retake them in further semesters. I really want to go home. I miss my lifestyle back home so much. Oh yeah, not to mention my friends too. Being hungry at night with no friends, is just sad.

Now to keep myself entertained at home when I am not working on assignments and projects, I play World of Warcraft. For those of you who don't already know what it is, its another Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. check out

now it is rather new to me finding out that some of the players in this game have their parents playing the game as well. I mean, wouldn't you find it awkward if your dad was playing the same game as you, you will feel weird and out of place. Thank God my parents dont like computers to begin with. I know this twin brothers have their father playing the same game as well and its rather weird. The funny thing is their dad sometimes skip work to stay home to play the game. This is not good at all and will prove to be a bad influence to the twin bros.

Another funny incident I discovered were in the official forums where some guy was like talking about playing the game sometime early in the morning like 3am or something, and his mother saw that posting on the forum and replied to that thread saying that he was grounded and the they won't be seeing his son in that game for a while. Apparently his mother played the game as well.

Just wanted to say, you know sometimes you wish that your parents would understand the things you do and also sometimes hope they know what are the things you do? I implore you guys to reconsider...

Sith Happens
Now Playing: Kylie Minogue - Chocolate
What a day.

Spent the afternoon till evening at university again. I've been at university for most of the days this week trying to finish up on documentations and presentation points for my Multimedia Project 1 subject. The presentation is this coming Monday and we have not completed what we need to do yet. Its just tying up loose ends, but its sure a heck lots of loose ends.

In the evening Attila came to pick me and Shawn up to go watch Revenge of the Sith, but he had a flat tire upon arrival at our place. So we went around asking strangers if they had a tire iron we could borrow to change the tire. To our astonishment, all the people who had cars did not have tire irons stored in their car, let alone tool box. I'm like thinking, sure even if you don't know squat about changing a tire for your car, at least have a tool box in the trunk incase of anything. In fact I thought that all cars should come with a tool box.
That was just plain whacked. Attila called RACV to come over to help and thank God it only took less than 20 minutes.

So after it was done, we were off to the cinema.
It was the Rivoli cinema at Camberwells. Funny because all this while living here, I never realized Rivoli was there. It had those sort of nostalgic 50s cinema style look going on for the place with fusion of modern designs. I thought that place was good. It was my first time coming to such cinemas.

The interiors of the theatre was awesome. They had those theatrical typed designs like carving sculpture like designs on the ceilings and walls and they had like golden curtains covering the screen before it was time to play.

The show was good. George Lucas really redeemed himself by making the third episode up to par and being able to connect with episode 4.

After watching the movie, we went to Sofia's for dinner. This time around I wasn't up to having the spinach fettucine cabonara because I knew I could not eat much of it. So I went for pizza margherita. Shawn did the usual fettucine but this time he could not even finish 1/3 of it.

Talked about Star Wars through out the night after watching it and found out that Attila has alot of other shows which "fills" in the gaps and holes of the Star Wars story. This I have got to see.

Kinda tired from the few days I have. I will be so happy when the presentation this Monday is done with.

The Selfish World
Mood:  don't ask
Yesterday I was playing an online game with my housemate. Somewhere along the line he suddenly started showing signs that he was not happy about something. I chose to ignore that because I do not tolerate people who have something in mind but do not wish to say it out.

When we went out for dinner, he was quiet the whole time. I tried to start conversations but he just would not say a thing to reply. At this point I was already quite angry. I hate such behaviours as I think it is impolite to other people. I still kept my patience and let it go.

When we were back home playing the same game, he kept dying and all of a sudden yelled "FUCK THIS" and left without saying a thing and went off somewhere in the game and did his own things.

Now most people might not really care about what I just wrote because they would blindly assume "it's just a game". I ask you to think about it deeply. If that was his behaviour in game, imagine how it would be in real life. I do not believe people can have seperate totally split personalities online and in real life. Unless of course it would be a facade to hide something.

This is not the first time he behaved like this and I am including real life situations.
From my point of view everything is about himself. If he does not get what he wants, he would criticize people for their faults.

For example one time, he wanted to go out to buy food, he told me he was going to. I said to him "can you buy back for me as well?"
he replies with "don't be lazy"
but when its a reverse situation he never gives a shit. I would always ask if he wants to come along with me when I go out to get food. He would just reply "Malas-la" which means he is lazy to.

Everyday he stays in his room playing the computer game nonstop. He only stops to eat, go toilet.

I do not know his background of life as to why he is the way he is today. Most of his solutions to disputes are always somewhere in the effects of "you do your own thing, I do mine, we don't bother each other". Like the time when he was complaining that I downloaded files too fast, and he complaint that it was messing with his game's performance. I paid well half for the internet connection and until this very day, I am not getting the benefits of what I paid for all because I have to be considerate to him while he does not care about my life or what I want to do with the internet. All he cares about is his game and nothing should bother him and his game.

I remember a while back, there was a dispute about me "hogging" the internet connection so his answer to the problem was "you go get your own line and internet connection".

He does not even know how to communicate with other people properly. Like there was one time our friends expected to pick him up from the airport while he did not want them to. He never even called them or let them know that he did not need them to pick him up. He just assumed if he did not call, it would have mean nothing. While our friends were calling me and asking when he would reach the airport. I had to try so many several methods of getting in touch with him letting him know that our friends were expecting him at the airport.

I can safely say that I have made more friends since I came here to Australia, and maintained those friendships while he just stays in his rooms until somebody actually has to make him come out.

Some of you might oppose what I have just wrote, I accept that but I will tell you this:
This kind of behaviour will only cause downfall upon themselves they isolate themselves from the people and the world thinking they do not need them but no man is an island. No one can truly live on their own without interaction of other people.
I am very annoyed with these kind of behaviour. All the time I am the one who takes the trouble, to get assaulted with words to mend things between me and him when I should not even care because I do not deserve it.

Good News?
Now Playing: Me - You're A God
Well today was funny.
Some people would cuss at themselves for being dumb but I just laugh at myself about it.

I woke up at 7am today and dragged myself out of bed to go to class. I was quite impressed with myself today because I had actually arrived in class on time and this is very rare! Today was so cold and was so difficult to get out of bed for it.

So I got into class and then two tutors came in to class and they were not my regular tutors which I have for my lab sessions. I also noticed that there were not many people in the class and I did not see familiar faces who took lab sessions with me as well. After the tutorial class, I sms'ed Shawn asking him what time his class would finish to see if we could for for lunch. I was still sleepy at that time and when he did not reply me I walked home.

When I was in my room, Shawn came and asked me where did I go so early in the morning saying that he thought my class was 11:30am. You know what? He was right. My class WAS usually at 11:30am and I was like... nuts. I do not know what happened to me but it was funny.

Later on in the afternoon Tim called and said my video card was ready for pick up. I have gotten a new replacement since the one I turned in was busted. However he said that World of Warcraft was out of stock and he would only have it the next day, so I'm only going to collect my video card tomorrow when I can purchase World of Warcraft too!

I really hope this would be the last of my pc curse.

What A Semester
Mood:  lazy
Now Playing: Too Phat - Anak Ayam
Well first of, the curse of pc problems never actually left me quite just yet, I had problems with my video card and it tooke me quite a while testing individual hardwares off my pc to determine who was the one messing around. It was indeed the video card so I sent it back for replacement since it was still under warantee.

While all this was happening I had loads of assignments and projects to do. I had to even go to university to do my stuff. It was really inconvenient. My advice to you who have to work with computers in your studies, get your own and make sure it doesn't die when you need it the most.

Since I had been to Renegade Computers so often, I'm sort of like a regular customer there, so the owner, Tim, was kind enough to lend me a video card temporarily while mine was being replaced. I tried borrowing video cards from friends but theirs was all AGP typed video cards while mine was the latest technology called SLI.

I just feel like the load of work I get from university makes the days seem like its going fast, but when during intervals between submitting assignments and receiving new ones, I feel like the days did not really go that fast, I'm still long way before the semester ends. Illusions of life.

Oh yeah a week ago, I was cooking eggs, and one of them was rotten. I tell you... the smell was so horrible. The word "horrible" is an understatment. It was traumatizing. It stinked my whole kitchen for a week and now I don't feel like eating eggs anymore because I can still smell the foul stench of it whenever I have eggs to eat. In fact I can still smelll it in my nose. Somebody please pray that this is only a temporary effect.

Hard Rock Cafe
Mood:  celebratory
Now Playing: Delirious - Rain Down
Well today was the first day of university classes again. I kicked it off by having the first class at Prahran. The far far away place. It was alright, till I heard from the lecturer that they expected us to have almost completed our flash animation of an e-card for presentation next week. I haven't even created all the objects. Looks like a busy weekend for me.

Anyway enough about that, tonight was the night I finally was able to call Irwin out for his birthday celebration which was suppose to be on his birthday but he had assignments to complete then. So we postponed it until tonight. We all met at Flinders Street train station. Irwin, Tuck Him, Shawn and Lee. So far this is the outing with the most people I've organized in Melbourne. Haha.

Hard Rock Cafe's food was so-so, American Chillys is like ten times better though, but I was not bothered because I was in the company of my friends and that mattered more. The waitress that served us was quite cute and could not stop staring at her whenever she was near. I know I was not the only one who thought so. Tuck Him had to same opinion as well. He wanted to make a move on her asking if he could take pictures with it, but he blames me for spoiling the chance to do so when he was asking if they accept International Student ID Card for a 10% discount and I just said "don't worry about it and keep the change".

She was one of the few caucasian ladies that looked good with black hair.

I guess I blew it yet again! I wonder why I keep throwing away opportunities like this. Just like that time when the girl at my university who looked like Kirsten Dunst asked me question and I just gave a dumb answer like "I don't know" and she disappeared from my life... Argh... Woe is me!

Fever Again
Mood:  down
Now Playing: John Mayer - Daughters
Woke up today to feel myself having a fever. However it was not a serious one, as I still managed to get up and continue with my daily routine.

Well I hate being sick. I rarely get sick in a year but when I do it really iritates me. To me it's like, when it rains, it pours. I couldn't stand being sick, so I took an antibiotic pill. Now I thought that thing was suppose to make me sweat but it didn't. So I went about the day doing my usual stuff. Spent the whole day trying to find pixel arts and pixel art creating software for one of my university's assignments.

*Sigh* back to classes tomorrow, moreover back to Prahran. I hope I feel better tomorrow. I feel like this warmth radiating around my arms but the warmth isn't there and I also feel cold at the same time.

Blue Jeans Blue
Mood:  chillin'
Now Playing: Beatles - And I Love Her
Well today I did my washing, and when it was done, some of Shawn's shirts had some blue colouring on them, and my white socks were in the shade of blue as well. I just realized that it was the doing of my pair of blue jeans. The weird thing was this never happened the last time I threw it in with other clothes. Even my white shirt now is in the shade of blue >_> I have learnt my valuable lesson today about blue jeans. Well this is the first time owning a pair of jeans since I was five.

Cooked dinner today out of almost instant stuff.
I fried chicken breast tenders and topped them with cheese sauce and also fried some potato nuggets. They're like hash browns only smaller pieces. I also oven baked these pastries called Triangles... which had feta cheese in them. Those tasted good.

I hope this looks good =)

Oh yes I also recorded myself doing John Mayer's "Your Body Is A Wonderland".

Late Night Activities
Mood:  not sure
Now Playing: Delirious - Majesty (Here I Am)
Well I cleaned up the house today, mopping the floors and vacuuming my room and also cleaning the sink in the bathroom. I sweated after that, and felt much better but I'm still sick though.

Waited for Shawn to have dinner but he once again was too busy with his online games and by the time he finished, it was around 10pm and by the time we went out to find a place to eat, the all were closed. Walked around and just decided to buy groceries and return home to cook our own dinner.
While at the counter wanting to pay for the groceries, the lady working there looked at our 10 packets of Maggi Instant Noodles and went "I hope you don't eat that everyday." I said I only eat it when I'm too lazy to find anything else. I probably should have replied "No, but he does" pointing at Shawn.
