Everyone eventually learns from their mistakes but I guess you made the worst decision ever in choosing this path of yours. Your actions have showed how much of a spineless numb nut who can’t stand up to your own wrongdoings.
Please don’t prove me right cause I really hate the idea of coming up to you and say: I TOLD YOU SO!
May be 60 hours late but, I’m back in Malaysia! Calling calling…
So busy, it’s not funny. Backside can explode. Will be back… SOON!
p.s Take care, poh poh. We know you are now in a better place. Till we meet again!
I KNEW we shouldnt have praised Melbourne’s weather since morning, for now it is raining cats and dogs! Pfft, at least we know Spring beckons and hopefully the weekend’s gonna turn out better. And all that I’m ever asking from you readers is a simple prayer for me in landing the job next Monday so I can fund my new Triptych luxury apartment!
Also, never thought I’d do this in the middle of a presentation, but here’s one to you all! Hahahaha just cause I’m done with mine and well, I suppose I could have done a better job but we all learn something new everyday. :)
Okay back to class… 2 and half hours till the ride on next train back home for nice cosy dinner with the rest!
Like the previous year, my birthday was a quiet one just as I wanted it to be. I must apologize yet again for the sudden hiatus as I’ve been swamped with work and also events that I had to attend to. The past weekend has been absolute MENTAL with LAPSAP boys coming all the way from homeland Malaysia just to set the dancefloor on fireeeee!
Then of course, there was also those truckloads of messages on my Facebook which I have yet to reply, but here I’d like to show my gratitude and love to the following people. You guys have been real awesome and thanks for the birthday wish!

Much love to the BACKPACKERS (you know who you guys are!) as well and also to those who personally wished me at VII last Friday and during Merdeka Eve @ CQ itself. Special token of appreciation to Evan for the phone call 9 hours drive away and the remaining GOATBROTHERS scattered all over the world in search of a greener pastures.
Last but not least, the YAPPIES! I may not have been the best son or sibling around but I definitely am trying, just cause you all rightfully deserve better. Am gonna work hard for food on table, and pray even harder for the AUD5,000,000 jackpot so we can all travel around the world with THEATRE OF DREAMS being our first stop!
Pictures taken at VII with ZOMG x LAPSAP on Friday night will be up soon enough, and also Merdeka Eve at CQ which has got to be the most mental party over the past months or so, I dare say. Three cheers for Malaysians who showed the people back home what UNITY is all about!
Hope you had much fun over the past week, Melissa and Fugz! I’m sorry we didn’t get to meet up as often but promise will make it up to you guys when we head home this end of the year, ay!
Over and out, y’all!
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.
And so that’s the reason why.
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..
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!
