A Walk at Brighton

Nice and colorful huts.

Havent seen sun sets for a while. Sun setting onto the horizon.

Was so so hot yesterday. Walking up and down the stairs just to get my self a comfortable place to sleep. Was sleeping down stairs as it is alot more cooler. After a while decided to get my stand fan down as well. In the evening mel called to move things over. Finally both the room is newly painted. Felt that the weather is alot cooler outside. Decided to go brighton beach for a jog. Was there from 6pm till 8.30pm. Was reading in the car as it was quite windy. Feel so comfortable that I actually fall asleep. Woke up only when renald called for dinner at Star East in Glen.

Shopping at Chadstone

Slept at 4am the night before. Suppose to wake up 6.30am to avoid the traffic at chadstone. Next I realise was already 9am. Traffic was so bad when I reached chadstone. After a few minutes at the parking area, I decided to turn out and look for parking at the housing area. So so packed in chadstone and the queue at lacoste and oroton is unbelievable. Practically there is a security personal control the number of people going in and out and the rest of the people who is not allow to go in will have to queue. After two hours walking around, decided to head home instead as the things that I was looking for do not have any discount. Instead of buying on that day and I have to queue up to pay , mights well I go in some other day when it is not so pack since the price will be the same anyway.

In the evening went for movie with mel, kevin and kee. Watched “The Golden Compass” in Glen. After movie went to giap’s place for dinner. Finished up the christmas potluck leftover food.

Holiday!!!

Finally I smells the holiday after waiting for so long.  Went for lunch wif colleague. 15 minutes before lunch time everyone was in hurry to pack up. Waited for so long and lunch only started at 2pm.  Lunch was good as it was a 3 course meal. Appetizer started with smoke salmon.  Main meal was grill turkey with cranberry sauce.  But I feel the turkey is a bit dry. Nice catching up with the rest of them. Colleague whom I see stress through out the year, finally I see a smile on their face. Before the dinner ends, everyone was so happily greeting each other. Met up with susu for dinner after coming back from lunch. Was kinda surprise when I heard that she will be coming over to Melbourne for holiday. Went to Springvale for dinner. Wanted to go glen for bubble tea. Apparently it will be closed from 21 dec to 2 jan. Feel so disappointed as that was the only time people is actually free to hang out. Brought them to Dan Murphy instead. After coming back home, susu gave me a bottle of Jacob’s Creek, Sparkling Rose that she bought in Dan to try. Not too bad. Started to enjoy wine now.  Around 1+am christie asked me if I could bring her to maccas as she was hungry. Decided to call kee and shuk along as well.

It was such a nice weather to sleep in this morning as it was raining heavily outside.  But got to push my self to wake up as the landlord came for inspection at 9am this morning. Went to Wah Kee for lunch after that as christie said that she wanted to say goodbye to wah kee auntie before she leaves. Sent christie off to the airport after that.  I nearly got my self into accident because of one fucking fella who did not look at traffic light when he cross the road. Hell, he was crossing a 3 lanes highway without using pedestrian traffic light and he was crossing right after the traffic light . I do travel at the speed limit set when I am at a traffic light and the traffic light is green. Imagine what will happen to him if he was hit at 80km/hour. Practically from 80km/hour, i need to jam break my car to around 20km/hour and avoid that fucking fella within just a few meters away. Luckily during then there wasn’t any car beside me. If not I gonna fucking swear at that guy for getting me involved in an accident.  After sending christie to the airport, went to asian grocery to get tang yuen as today “guo dong”.

Kee suggested that we should cook porridge for dinner today.  Had tang yuen after dinner.  Gerard and Allan joined us after dinner. thanks to melissa and kee for preparing the tang yuen. Was taking a nap at kees place as I only had 4 hours of sleep the night before.

Talk to my parents yesterday. To my surprise suddenly my mum asked me if I wanted to go back this holiday as I have nothing plan out yet. It is more like those situation if there is air ticket for tomorrow, she would want me to fly tomorrow.  Since she has already asked me to go back, so I just try my luck and see if I can find any seat. All booked out till early Jan. I mention to her that if she really wants me to go back, I can just go back for a week before they leave to houston. In a way I do understand why they hav such thought. That was one of the reason why I wasnt surprise when my mum suggested it. We are children to our own parents now and in the future we will be parents as well. Think of how you would want your children to treat you then you will understand your parents alot more then what you are now. I appreciate alot on what my dad and mum has done as they have been trying very hard to pull things together and I know this is not easy at all. At times I know mummy is not easy to handle. That is one of the reason why my dad wants me to be around at times as there are certain things that I am able to convince her.

ps Sometimes I wonder if it is worth trying if I know what the consequences is.

A night cleaning at home.

As christie will be moving out, so decided to called landlord this evening to see how is the procedure like. She mention that she would want to inspect christie and julz room to access the damage so that she can deduct the money out from the bond. Melissa’s bond will be given to her and after deducting the money from christie bond, she will return the remainder to christie. Helen mention that the accessment includes the general area as well which includes the kitchen, living and dining area. Supposely I shouldnt need to care about cleaning all this up as the deduction of my bond will only take place when I move out. Since no one is around, I would want to make the house a place that I feel comfortable living in it. Took me an hour to clear everything at the kitchen counter. It is now neat and tidy without anything on the table at all.

Things happen just makes me laugh. More things should happen to make me laugh even louder.

Sometimes i just feel that my life is so interesting and full of wonders. Yesterday I just read a letter from ATO (Australia Taxation Office). In the letter it mentions that I have 3 years outstanding tax return. Sometimes how ATO does things just makes me laugh. They did not ask for my tax return when I first arrive here. They only ask for it 3 years later. Called up this afternoon and the person on the phone asked me to write a letter stating the reason why I should be exempted from lodging an application.

I was so lucky after work today. I realized that my car tyre puncture right after leaving my work place. Can you imagine finally I have another opportunity to change my car tyre !!! Call me a tyre replacement expert. Drive 8  years, change tyre 5 times. Should just make it 8 years and change 8 times. 8 and 8 nice number.

Another thing that I find it interesting is about the potluck that we gonna have this Sunday. Shouldn’t elaborate too much bout it. Nothing actually happens. Just something that is related to me. Things that comes along the way makes me laugh even louder.

Muauhahahahhaha.

Shower

Just came out frm shower not too long ago. Christie just left to her aunt place and will head to the airport tomorrow. Julz still not back yet. Will be having the whole house for a couple of hours. I did alot of thinking during shower and the most relaxing moment is in shower as well. Showering with the music on just makes me feels so nice.Left my bathroom and my room door open.  Of course it is something i cant do when the girls is around. If julz came back looking at me showringi guess she will be screaming. Has anyone ever thought what will your reaction be when you see someone showering or poohing in the toilet ? Those who are staying with me, i guess it is not so lucky for them. Got stuck wif me for another year. =P. I believe I have given them lots of shit. muahahhaa. but i guess that is what makes their life interesting wif me around. =P

Lucky ? hmmm …

I have been through ups and downs in life.  But I still do consider my self lucky as I still have the ability to do the things that I want to do without relying on others.  Since young my parents has expectation on me and my sis. That is one of the reason why I have high expectation on my self as well. Since young if i want something, I got to work for it. Nothing comes free. Usually my dad will tell me if you want something, get good result and we shall talk about it after that. My result for UPSR (4A), PMR (7A) and SPM(4A1,4A2,1B3, 1B4) never dissapointed him for once. Ever since young most of the time my dad wasnt at home most of the time. He only comes home during weekend. But sometimes I do get long lecture from him because of me slacking too much at home. Come to think of it, I  loved the lecturing session. That was when i learned from my mistake. That was when i knew he still do care. Thou now we live far apart from each other, but we still talk very often. Some people ask why I have so much to talk about. There were time that I got drifted away from them and there were time that I got close to them.  Still remember last time when i was studying in KL, my dad was working in China, we doesnt talk practically for months. Only my sis will call them. During then I just cant be bothered.

Initially when i came down to KL to study, I was staying with my aunt for a couple of months. During then I still havent brought my car down to kl yet. It took me two hours plus to get from collage back to her place. Damansara Height -> Bangsar Station -> Kelana Jaya -> subang parade -> USJ. And I got lost quite a few times around the housing area. No choice but to walk back to her place. After a few months, i moved to bangsar. During then I have my car already.  Come to think about it, I really wonder how I actually stayed at the place for a year. Small little terrace house and the room is just so so HOT. The landlord, indian woman stayed there. The house was so warm at night that sometimes she sleep at the living room. Initially she scare shit out of me when I got home seeing someone sleeping in the living room couch. Got close to a group of friends who stays in subang. Middle of the night they will call and asked me if I would want to join them to maccas at centre point. Another reason why we like to go there was because there are car racing along that road as well. Once I saw Proton Satria GTI racing with toyota supra.

After a year my sis graduated and I move out to bandar utama with her.  Actually missed those time when i stayed with her and Jenny.  She just likes to try new eating places. Places that she went with her colleage, during weekend she will just bring me there. She knew that I ’shen chian’ like crazy so once a while she will just buy me dinner.  Still remember during then I only allow my self to spend RM 10 bucks a day.  Rarely go to posh restaurant. Once a while I will only get my self western food at hawker centre. That time I was working at my collage lab. Working while studying wasnt easy at all. During then my collage was paying only 5 bucks an hour. I mean RM 5 bucks. Sometimes I worked more then 30 hours a week. Practically I leave my house at 7+am and only reach home at 10+pm. Sometimes after work at 9.30pm i will just join my friend for supper at the mamak either in bangsar or PJ area. No doubt I had alot of fun working there. Thou pay is shitty but it is a nice and interesting experience.
