Did You Know?

1. I watched Blood Diamond for the third time, but only because JB Hi-Fi is such a dangerous place to be. AUD18.95 for an award winning film in Blu-Ray? No kidding! Bloody good movie.

2. Speaking of JB Hi-Fi, I also bought the “Ultimate Blu-Ray Movie Kit” for Playstation 3. It comes in 2 choices, each bundled together with either Batman Begin OR 10,000 B.C and 300 as well as the Playstation 3 Remote Control. Total damage? AUD59.98 only!

3. I also had my nap in the living room hours ago. It was my first time sleeping on the sofa bed we so happily been ‘couch potato-ing’ over the months. And daym, it feels so much more comfortable than my bed!

4. Lunch at DonDon again this afternoon. That’s also my third visit in seven days ever since I got back from Malaysia. Good to see Uncle Mitsui and his business doing so well. Oh, did I mention it was during lunch hour? Packed to the brim!

5. It’s been exactly a week since I got back to Melbourne. Another 15 weeks to go… *Sigh*

6. Nothing much has changed either since. The bummer is still happily bumming around. The house could have been in a worse state, if it wasn’t because of Nat. Oh come on, who else would do the cleaning besides the both of us?

7. I’m getting fairly bit of contacts from outsiders regarding my service as freelance designer. Nothing is confirmed but am happy that my ‘career‘ is starting to head somewhere? Much thanks to the ones for those recommendations.

8. Twitter does wonders.

9. I’m still without a camera since the “Black Saturday Night” at Velvet. Therefore I’m currently using Nat’s once-malfunctioned camera after she brought it along to a beach outing. All it needed was a simple nudge from me and now it’s working again. Don’t exactly know what happened though.

10. I think I have finally succumbed to sickness. I’ve been wanting to fall sick since the beginning of this week. Might have caught a cold last Sunday while we were playing soccer in the windy cold outdoor. Am surprised I manage to hold on this long too. But well, all heroes eventually die in the end?

11. CHERYL LIM! Sorry bout yesterday when you called. Was in the midst of a tutorial session so I couldn’t leave the lab. Quite a surprise hearing from you though. Hope all is well for you 14 hours apart over there.

12. I missed home. Everyone of you.

Shame On You

And so that’s the reason why.

Look Ahead

I guess it has never been any easier saying goodbye to the loved ones every time you so reluctantly board the plane back to the place you somehow grew out of favour. My past holiday back in Malaysia has been real enjoyable one, only because of time well spent together with family and friends. It has also come to my realization that nothing ever beats home. I remember coming across this inspirational quote which says, “the grass may be greener on the other side, but let’s not forget that our side is also green.” Therefore, we should be grateful with what we have and live for em’ all!

Hmmm… yet another “one of those days”. I think I should go sleep soon. Nat is down with a sore throat, while I’m having a bad flu. H1N1 virus, perhaps? We shall see..

You’re Half A World Away..

Upon knowing that Uncle Fono was spinning at Zouk two weeks ago, trance fans surely knew they’d definitely be up for one helluva unforgettable night. Having no choice but to pass up on every other Fired Up Friday nights, I must say I got pretty lucky with the dates as my return coincided with Gareth and Uncle’s sets! Just as expected, the whole troupe came to support the pioneer and local veteran trance DJ as he played some of the most beautiful tunes that left us begging for more.

And it certainly prove to be more than just a few surprises as Chin attended the night without Uncle Fono knowing she’s back. Hehehehe the reunion sparked celebrations into life as bottles of Black Label occupied our tables and the crowd was just amazing as my sister and her friends decided to join us for the night as well! Not forgetting to mention JayJay who came all the way down from Penang! It was great bumping into old friends despite being a little too noisy to do some catching up.

It definitely was a sight with main room almost packed like a special event night, goes to show that Trance music definitely IS very much alive and the ever growing fan base. I have the privilege of meeting Simon and Alvin yet again since the last time at Gareth Emery’s, together with Alicia. Do catch both the duo in action every Saturday on Fly FM!

Never Say Never, Man On the Run, Ashes, This Moment, Lonely Girl, Out Of The Sky, Catch A Fall, Fractal Universe, Stadium Four, Faces, For An Angel, Satellite, Carte Smack, More Than You Need, On A Good Day, Sirens Of The Sea. What more could you ask for?

I haven’t had so much fun in the longest while, and the night itself was only just beginning as the following weekends were pretty much intoxicated ones. Will blog about the rest later on. Am gonna rest for a while before heading off to futsal!

Gone With The Wind

To say I didn’t really enjoy my weekend would be a terrible lie, cause I certainly did. It has got to be one of the most intoxicated one after all with so much to drink and only feint memories of the nights to remember. It all started from Thursday afternoon with a can of ice cold beer at home, only to end up gulping down three. It was then that Evan called regarding the plan for that night and off we went to Luna Bar with his friend visiting.

Luna Bar still feels the same, even after 2 years since my last visit. That night was exceptionally hot and the return of the haze gave us shit view of the KL cityscape. And you know what’s worse? We ended up having 5 most expensive jugs of CARLSBERG which totaled up to a duty-free bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label.

So we had the pleasure of meeting Darline and the Wong siblings who are currently back here for holiday. The usual catching ups and Evan like a broken record, telling us how much he loves drinking Tsingtao beer over and over again! Good times indeed, especially with a ‘few’ drinks to go with.

And those who follow me closely on Twitter, you probably know that I became a victim of pickpocket just recently at Phuture. Will blog about it more later as I have to go grab myself lunch now. FUNGRY!

Something For You

Daym, what a bloody hot day it has been! Though the streaking hot weather serves as a perfect reason for me to reaching out for another can of beer in the fridge, I should refrain from doing so since I’ve been drinking almost everyday since I got home. Two jugs of Tiger and Heineken at Finnegan’s with William yesterday afternoon and then off to Parade for dinner with Evan, Eugene and Jue made my day!

Now that Evan’s back from China, I foresee a rather intoxicating weekend ahead though it’s a shame none of us can go all the way since our designated driver is happily bumming around in Melbourne. Hahahaha! And simply cause I havent been taking enough pictures over the past week, here’s few that was captured during my last Backpacker session with the usual ones before Richmond came back home.

Cheers to those times of muka kemek, dollars spent on the music jukebox, singing our hearts out, talking and/or attracting strangers to our table and chilli malam for supper!

Not sure on where to go this coming weekend? Kick off by getting your Friday Fired Up with Fono dishing out the latest progressive trance music that is orgasmic to your ears at Zouk!

Never Say Never

Having missed out on so many other Lapsap occasions, no way in hell am I going to let go this opportunity to attend what appears to be a massive 2nd private anniversary party! An ideal celebration of little more than two years of great success indeed! It’s going to be real packed and exclusive, so be early to avoid disappointment!

So yesterday officially marks the end of my first week back in KL. Never felt so contented with those time spent on food hunting and together with family and friends. The Unlinked gathering on Thursday turned out rather differently from what I had expected. The last time we met in such a group was dated back to 2006, I think? Geez, how’s everyone’s changed so drastically over the years.

And then there was also last night when I finally got the chance to meet up with Missycheerio! Took us long enough to plan an outing since someone’s a working person already ;P Hehehehehe!

Okayla gotta go now liao… Need to entertain my family members for now. Shall blog again soon enough!

Are You Gonna Be There?

So we finally claimed GirlGirl’s ashes from the vet just yesterday afternoon. People would probably find it unbelievable as how we were so willing to fork out a sum of money just to cremate a pet when you could have easily disposed it. We thought otherwise, knowing that it guarantees you peace of mind, with your beloved pet being laid to rest in an orderly manner similarly to us mere being’s funeral. I cried so much, I think I ran out of tears for the next two months.

I just felt a bit dejected upon realizing that my first post back in Malaysia had to be one that is dedicated to GirlGirl for all that is left of her are memories of quality time spent together to treasure. Muffin has been real quiet lately too. She must have realized that GirlGirl is no longer around.

Life goes on! On a brighter note, I bought myself a new pair of shoes! *Tsk tsk* I know, you’re probably thinking “aiyah… old or new, all your shoes also look the same wan!“. HAHA! Then I’m sorry cause you’re wrong this time around! Or at least I think it looks different.. It really does! See!

Apart from that, I haven’t been doing much except spending quality time with family and friends just as planned. It’s been five days since I touched down from Melbourne and no, I haven’t been ill either. Subjected to scrutiny, I eventually ended up at Zouk mainroom during my first night back home for Gareth Emery’s 2 hour set. I forgot to bring my camera, just cause I was rushing my ass to get to Zouk only to end up being the first to arrive. Therefore, credit goes to Natalie for the one and only picture posted below!

Bryan and Nat came later as we chilled at Terrace for some ice cold (diluted) beer before layaning Gareth’s set. A bit tad too short but I thought it was pretty good? Faces, Formentera What?, More Than Anything, Unprepared, Lonely Girl, Made of Love, Exposure, On A Good Day, Love Story, FIND YOURSELF and This Is Silence, just to name a few.. WONG AH WAH FOR SUPPER BEST!!

Was supposed to go Urbanscapes on Saturday as well but I didn’t make it cause I had a family dinner to attend to. Eventually missed out on Uncle Fono’s set :( And the rest of the night was spent beside GirlGirl’s death bed.

Well that’s about it, I guess. Am looking forward to the coming weeks with Manchester United Asia Tour at Bukit Jalil on the 18th July, and not forgetting Lapsap 2nd Private Anniversary Party on the 15th July! Much thanks to NeeKee for getting me the ticket!

Aights… Am going out for dinner now. Shall see you all real soon!
