After months of contemplations, we finally braced ourselves for the unthinkable and adjourned to the ever notorious club every Tom, Dick and Harry have come to know of: Bubble. The name should ring a bell in the heads of those who are particularly active in the EDM scene here in Melbourne.

Giving Bubble the benefit of the doubt, we decided to check it out last Saturday despite the unpleasant comments being poured. As a first timer, I suppose it wasn’t that difficult to actually locate the club even though it is situated at Francis Street, one many hardly frequents to.

Knowing how the crowd usually walks in late, we weren’t expecting a queue as Penny told us to be there about 11.45am. Instead, we were greeted by a lengthly queue which was even longer than one back at VII couple of weeks ago. Thank goodness for express admission though.

There was the end of exam promotion going on so we were lucky enough to get in for free with our student ID! Take that, you stupid ISIC (International Student Identity Card)! The moment we got into the club through a rusty backdoor-like entrance, we were greeted by a group of sweaty bunch of people shuffling their way to the ‘forbidden land‘.

I wouldn’t say it reminded me much of the days back in Atmosphere, though it certainly does feel like a place you wouldn’t see me frequenting to. Not even once in a while. However, we might just make another trip to Bubble as a good friend of ours long to check it out but not until she’s done with her exams. Hahahaha!

The place itself seems pretty spacious, which definitely is a good thing for shufflers. The sound system is pretty amazing but nothing beats the lasers! Not forgetting to mention, lots of couches around the corners for ‘obvious’ reasons’. I guess I’m just one of those few who doesn’t deserve enough to appreciate such heart-thumping, mind-boggling hardstyle music. My heart is too weak!

Drinks there are relatively expensive, as I paid more for a cup of beer than other usual clubs. I even spilled one by accident and slowly watched my Heineken soak into the stained carpets. Heart-wrenching indeed! Hehehehe then again, it’s all about the company that matters most. And I saw Cherish as well! She loves it there ;D

Right.. I’m seriously lost for words. Hehehehe and don’t mind me posting at such ungodly hours. The ones who have caught the Euro 2008 fever probably knows the extent of this disease. We sleep when sun risea and wakes up when the sun sets.

Gosh… terrible, I tell you. It’s been quite an interesting one though, with many heavyweight teams already eliminated. Another awakening of an unlikely heroic nation?

I’m gonna be off now. Byes byes!

Today marks the end of yet another semester here in Melbourne. Everyone was clogging up the entrance of the building. They seemed relief and already making plans for the next day. I, on the other hand, was trying to catch my breath as I ran to uni. Why, I hear you ask?To put it in simpler term, I was LATE.

And because of that, I was penalized a fair bit of mark deduction for the selected module. I wouldn’t have felt as bad if it was the cause of my laziness, but more on the fact that I actually woke up LATE. I completed my work the night before and this is what I got. I’m just hoping I can afford to lose those marks and still get a credit. That of course, put my thinnest slice of getting a distinction into the bin! :(

What’s done is done, and there’s nothing I can do about it. The only outcome is a valuable lesson learned. Trying really hard not to let this ruin the rest of my week . Dinner plans now clash with my itinerary on Thursday as well. What a way to kick start the long anticipated holiday!

I disappoint myself, yet again. Such joyous occasion only to be overshadowed by my silly mistake.

On a much happier note, Armin Only simply was out of this world! I just wished he played beyond the extravagant 9-hour set. The crowd was the biggest letdown throughout the night. Coming from the party people of Melbourne, I wasn’t expecting such a slow, unresponsive and dull reception. Signs of fatigue was obvious as Armin struggled towards the end but the crowd played no part in carrying him through the final hour.

I contributed 120% and was bouncing all night long, cracking my head just to ID the songs. And now it’s finally taking its’ toll on me. Very body-taxing indeed. What more could I ever ask for?

Now that semester is done, expect a ARMIN ONLY post real soon! For now, here’s just one video for you, as always ;P

*edited* Arnej- The Ones That Get Away

Toodles!

Welcome to Melbourne, Australia… Armin van Buuren!
I’m expecting nothing less than a mind-blowing performance from the Number ONE.
Jennifer Rene, Susana, Sharon Den Adel?, Rank1 and Eller van Buuren, to name a few..

BRING IT ON!

 
My heart still beats erratically every time I watch the penalty shootout. Sweet victory indeed. CHAMP10NS OF EUROP3 FOR UN17ED, once again!

I have no reason to be feeling exactly what I am right now. Guess it’s just one of those days when pretty unpleasant things just so happen to make their way to your ears. And since my initial plan of partying the start of this weekend away didn’t materialize, I went for movies with Ada and the rest instead! Can’t say much about the movie though. The ending was just plain horrendous, IMHO.

Nothing eventful to blog about lately, considering the fact that I have stayed home over the past THREE weekends. I feel so angelic! 0:) Assignments a bore but am glad to be done with my part for this weekend so that gives me a little more time to relax before going all out the next coming three weeks.

Oh oh and I finally got my full length mirror! Ultimately essential for camwhoring! Anyway, some overdue pictures taken during a casual sunny day out and dinner with fellow Unlinked members! Oh it’s been a while, hasn’t it?

Jin Yin’s attempt on camwhoring = FAIL!
 

26 MARCH 08 : UNLINKED DINNER @ SHARKFIN HOUSE

Rumor has it saying both chinese and english menu come with different prices?

Kangkung, pork, chicken and tofu.. YUM!

A group picture, including special guest Randy @ Max Brenner QV.
 
In dire need of new entertainment… Have a great weekend, peeps!

Three European Cup Final Appearances = Three European Cup Winners
759th Appearance for Giggs = Decisive Spot kick
Ronaldo MISS = Terry MISS
Petr Cech Saved Ronaldo’s = Edwin Van Der Sar Saved Anelka’s

Truly No.1. It’s the statistics that count, no?

FOR IT IS A JOLLY GOOD DAY! ANOTHER CUP TO CELEBRATE THE END OF MAY!
BLUES, FEELING THE BLUES! WE PAINT THE STREET RED CAUSE MAN UNITED WON INSTEAD!
MAN UNITED F.C! MAN UNITED F.C! WE’RE BY FAR THE GREATEST TEAM THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN!

1968, 1999, 2008 For the Red Devils…. As opposed to …. NONE, FOR CHELSEA!

I was just browsing through the collection of pictures I have taken during my summer break in KL, I realized I have tons to update you guys on but I’m afraid it will not be anytime soon! Semester is coming to an end and I have plenty of work to deal with. Well, it’s not like I neglected on my work but the final brief seems to be a potential killer! I can only imagine those who hasn’t been paying much attention to their task list. Havoc!

While I’m away during the next couple of weeks, I’m delighted to have a couple of newly hired guest bloggers who volunteered on keeping Fractionize alive throughout the remaining month of May. I will pop in occasionally and drop a few messages but that should do for now.

Till then, have a great week people!!

my name begins with the letter M for Monkey.

at times the resemblance scares me, the letter M i mean.

first and foremost, i’m not Slinky,Yap Mun Hoong.

i’m just here as a Guest blogger and i will come by every once in a while. (more like every other day when my fingers gets a little itchy) since this is my very first attempt in using Word press and ze very first post, i’ll just introduce myself a little okay?

i actually owe him a favor for helping me when i had problem dealing with Photoshop, and to montage my house model onto an actual site. Well i mean i was shocked at first, about how helpful he was although we’ve never really met. (if bumping into him and Nat at McD’s drive-thru and Sakae Sushi counts)

And that was “How i met your blogger”.

Space within a tree : House of a dancer, Cyd Charisse.

I’ve got a gut feeling that our posts will be contrastingly different, and not to mention the contents as well. To keep this blog alive and keep this a free from camwhore blog (in case its not a familiar term for you, it means self-taken pictures). i’ve always wanted a white background for my own personal blog, it actually enables my pictures to stand out more with the existing borders, so it’ll be really cool to post ‘em up here.

The egg-drop apparatus.

My task was to design an apparatus with materials like straws, satay sticks, thread, and paper. an egg is nicely fitted onto the apparatus (into the straws as seen above) and drop the apparatus from a height of a three-storey building, approximately 13 meters. The egg must survive the fall.

And it did. thankfully!

The Bumblebee.

A chair designed in a 1:10 scale, carefully measured according to my body height and size, then scaled down. I know its getting rather boring,but its a breathe of fresh air right! This chair can be placed in three different positions,so go figure and the black beads are actually used to stabilize and the enhance the overall outlook of course.

So much for an introduction from a girl with the closest resemblance to the letter M for Monkey right. Appreciate feedbacks, and i’ll come by soon again!

signing off with lots of passion wtf.

The season has been a thriller one with so many twists and turns. United kicked off the 07/08 campaign in the most dreadful manner as Arsenal dominated the first half the season. Chelsea were written off after the whole Mourinho drama which eventually saw him departed from Stamford Bridge. Arsenal eventually crumpled under immense pressure from the CHAMPIONS.

Ronny and Giggsy. Such a coincidence, ay?
Home kit as a gift from brother, all the way from Theatre of Dreams!
 
And little did everyone expected the Blues to snuck right behind Manchester United, with the slightest of chance of pipping us for the title.. BUT…. FAT HOPES! T’was a close call though. Gah! I’m still feeling ecstatic over the fact that we are proudly crowned champions of England, yet again! What a grand finale, albeit the fact we couldn’t celebrate the joyous occasion where the trophy rightfully belongs to!

We are Man United! Man United F.C!
The Greatest Team the World Has Ever Seen!

Double joy for Matthew as well, with his brand new 50″ Bravia Sony LCD TV to celebrate with 10th league title! And there we were, donned in RED as the Red Devils clinched the 17th championship in full HD. Football never looked THIS good! Yums..

A prestigious double com 21st May, 2008. Till then, It’s A Blue Day… FOR THE BLUES!
