Back!

To hot and humid tropical weathers.


To stone aged dial up internet connection.


To all my loved ones who have been missed dearly.


Photos will be uploaded some time soon.

Here goes, came home yesterday and got greeted by this huge package which was NOT addressed to anybody staying in this household because it had the WRONG address on it!

Infuriating fact #1: It was clearly wrong for them to dump a package when there's nobody at home to receive it and that leads to

Infuriating fact #2: They know damn well it's their bloody job to make sure the package gets sent to the right address which they didn't since they so darn couldn't be bothered. It was a totally different street for that matter, and the house number was 6-68 while ours is 6! I call that selective "looking" since he( I'm assuming it's a he since females don't usually get jobs like this) completely overlooked 68 at the back. Grrr.. if that's the case next time I become a postwoman I'll just dump the letters addressed to number 33 inside the mailbox of number 3 is it? Such atrocity!

Anyhow, was pretty pissed off and exasperated at the same time initially since the house address didn't even look familiar to me and I really didn't know what to do with the package. It would be totally fine if the house was somewhere along the same road but it wasn't. And mind you, as you can see the package isn't exactly petite. It was actually some heavy duty boxes and there were a few of them. So the petty me decided to be a diva and whitepaged the irresponsible company to call them up and give them a piece of my mind. Alas, those buggers didn't pick up the phone even though it was still office hours. So I just pulled it into the compound and decided to put the matter off.

Then this morning, woke up with much difficulty( hard to get motivated these days or is it just the weather?) saw the eye sore lying outside and decided to look up in the map, take a short walk, find the house and rightful owner then come back again, get the boxes and send it over. And that's exactly what I did. The house was about about 2 streets away but this same street runs through adjacently like this :


No prizes for guessing where I stay and where the other house is. Turns out, the owner is actually a fellow Malaysian going back for good hence the boxes. We chatted for a while and then I felt bad for not delivering straight away yesterday since she was expecting it and actually called up the stupid company called SevenSeas btw ( don't order your boxes from there if you need any, they'll send it over to my house again and expect me to do their dirty job ) and they gave her a whole load of crappy excuses on why they didn't send it to her house. Hmm.. now I wonder what was she going to do about it then. That aside, it may also be why they didn't pick up my call when I called yesterday. All in all, I'm glad I didn't put it off any longer and delay her packing further.
Disclaimer: Not trying to brag about how good I've been. Just thought it'll be nice to share should the same thing happen to you.

On another note, Jie's car got wrecked today while it was being parked at Frome Road outside the Women & Children's Hospital. It was sandwiched when a car rammed into the car parked behind hers and in turn shoved her car forward to hit the other one in front. That has gotta be the epitome of SUEY+ MALANG+ YUN WONG man! Don't you think it's just so totally random to have this car rammed into you car while it's being parked innocently at the side of the road??!! And she doesn't even work at that hospital, was just relieving someone else's duty. And and... it was a freaking HIT AND RUN!!! Thank goodness there's insurance though. But they have to get to the culprit or she'll have to fork in a bit of money as well.
Bottomline is: get your car insured no matter how careful a driver you are since freak accidents like this are just so totally unpredictable and random again. She didn't seem too shaken when she got back. But I thought it'll be good to stay home tonight just in case she needed someone to ramble and rant at and also scared that she'll scream her head off at me for going out when I have a paper on Monday
So a while ago, followed her down to the accident site cos the insurance company sent someone to tow the car away.

Picture ain't that clear since I took it with my lousy phone camera. But the damage is seriously no kidding. And it wasn't even directly in contact with the culprit's car. We were just speculating what kind of vehicle would it be to cause such extensive damange and still got away with it in broad daylight. Might have been a bus or some heavy duty vehicle. Whatever it is, really hope that they catch hold of that asshole soon.

Meanwhile, I've started packing! Yabadabadooooooooooo!!!!!
*jumping up and down in excitement*

Guess who decided to be my little helper?

Three down, one to go (:

Oh well it's already over but certain things I can't still can't let go. Felt like I could've done better argh! This is damn pissing me off! You know how people always go on and on bout how their life motto is to live life without regrets (which is so hackneyed IMO), you tell me how to do it lah? It's so bloody difficult okay?
*Live life without regrets is freaking mocking at me right now*
But God has been very merciful throughout this exam period ( wait, it's not over yet ) especially on Monday cos I was almost late!!!! I don't think I've ever been that anxious and fidgety in my life ever cos I couldn't afford to miss the paper!!Come to think about it, even though it was kinda a "relief" to see that I wasn't the only one going for exams, but can't believe the other students were so nonchalantly reading their notes away. I mean, come on, look a bit worried la at least! My goodness, I bet the guy behind me must have been sniggering at me for looking so worried and fidgeting all over. But as soon as the bus stopped, we started dashing for the exam hall which is actually this big warehouse looking hall down at the Wayville Showgrounds and I mean big when I say big. It's like one of those bigger exhibition halls down at Expo. The showground is quite a pathetic looking place too with the front gates bearing this uncanny resemblance to prison gates( you'll agree with me , those who've been there) and the insides are pretty chilly at times.Call me suaku but it was also the first time sitting for an exam not held within the school and this explains why I was almost late cos I had to take 2 buses and all vehicles crawl here at Adelaide, especially so when you're rushing for time.

All in all, wouldn't have got there without God's grace and I'm already so very thankful for that. Also, we were allowed to take in this piece of A4 sized double sided notes for the Info Systems paper. My writing was extremely tiny! Too bad they had to collect it back, wanted to keep it as a memento cos I felt quite proud of it, it's no mean feat k? Ridiculously tiny handwriting and leaving almost no empty margins at all which is still readable albeit by me only. God must have heard my prayers and knows how much we ALL hate IS and how it has the highest failure rate. Hehe.

Count my blessings again for psychology's the last paper and from what I've heard, it's pretty easy BUT that doesn't mean I'm gonna get all complacent and only flip through the notes on Sunday night. Probably should start doing it over the weekend since I haven't touched it at all. And that's also why I'm here blogging.

Some funny stuff from the Family Guy.



Have a great weekend ahead people!

Ah you tube! What I'll do without you at this time of the year when you're supposed to be mugging for exams!

The Back Dorm Boys! The left one is cute!
I still think their early works are the funniest. Guess where they got their names from? Yeah from lip synching to BSB tunes which were the ones that made them famous anyway.






Notice the guy at the back always has to coordinate what he wears with the 2 of them. Haha!



I miss this show!!! Ahh.. reminds me of times back then during prelims and all the way to A's where I will be in the dilemma whether to watch both SYTYCD and ANTM on a Monday night where you're not supposed to watch TV during study times( 8-9.30 pm) and while most of ur fellow J2 hostelmates are mugging away. But temptation always triumphed anyway( just like now) that's probably why I did so badly for A's.
And they are my favourite couple! Too bad neither of them made it into top4.



Bah! Youtube took away the original video. This one has the cuckoo channel 5 logo at the top right hand corner. -_-

Hands down, the most beautiful performance for the entire season and to one of my all time favourite song too!

GO watch them la! Especially the BDB videos :))

Mittens is peeved and is adamant with not letting me blog further bout that.

She is such an attention hog.

♥ me for who

And I'm her.

But I don't want to be.

This wasn't even supposed to be happening.

But I can't seem to get anything right or do anything that will make anybody pleased.

I don't know what to do anymore.

Don't understand wat it means? That was intentional.

Grabbed this off Alvin's (who doesn't have the copyright to it either) blog. Although I can't agree to everything written but still think it speaks for myself as well.
For those who can't read Chinese, too bad la get someone to translate for ya or something.

Woohoo! A mandarin post! Is this weird or what?

有人對我說，"你以爲你出國就了不起了？"
出國的人，沒有什麽了不起的，真的，出來有段年頭的我也沒有覺得出國有什麽了不起的。
但是，出國以後，我們每個人都很了不起。如此說是因爲，我們有著其他人不能體會的辛酸苦辣，也看過和經過太多氣憤無奈。可是從來不願說起，並不等於我們沒有故事，恰恰相反的是我們的故事太多，已經不再爲此大驚小怪，或者應該說，我們沒有時間也沒有精力再去想如何訴說了。
­
外國人
­
不論是自己向往，還是因爲其他的原因來到國外，從到了異國他鄉的第一步，我們就有了一個共同的名字，外國人。外國人，顧名思義就是外面國家的人，一個本不屬於本國的人，外面的永遠和裏面的有著所謂的區別。本國人口頭上是很注意回避用"差別"這個詞來形容這種所謂的區別，回避使用帶有優劣色彩的辭彙，然而這又能如何？實際生活中，赤裸露骨的差別何處不在？租房子，進學校，找工作，就連消費都包括在內。外國人這個名字，隨時提醒著我們這裏不是家，所以不要幻想平等，不要奢望同情，最後能幫自己的只有自己，要漸漸學會自己疼愛自己。
­
扭曲的心
­
不得不承認我們的心是被扭曲的，至少不是正常的，我們生存在一個本來不正常的環境裏面。從踏入別人的國門，我們就要學著精打細算，學著兢兢業業，學著潔身自好，學著面對油鹽醬醋，面對鍋碗瓢盆，面對人間冷暖。摔倒了爬起來，明白了懂事了。摔多了，習慣了，堅強了，也孤僻了。大事小事都要靠自己，所以我們越來越堅強，堅強的不習慣別人的關心；時時刻刻都要保護自己，所以我們越來越自戀，自戀的忘記了還要關心別人。我們的浮躁，我們的自私，逆流而上，讓我們孤僻的美麗可憐。這不是歇斯底里，一夜之間自己曾所熟悉的擁有的都消失不見，取而代之的是另一個和自己格格不入的世界，誰又會笑得很舒心？
­
天堂不在國外
­
國外不是天堂，即便說給出來旅遊的人們，也不會相信，反而換來的將是一句不知好歹。我們不是來旅遊的，我們都明白接著要在國外走過的這幾個灰色春夏秋冬將要如何堅強面對，這裏沒有天使，也不是天堂，至少對於我們這群被稱作外國人的群體來說，這裏絕對不是天堂。就連我們自己在明白的時候，也已經是在國外翻打許久以後了
­
時間
­
國外的時間流逝的很快，一天分三十六個小時來用都不夠，因爲我們要花太多的時間精力在一些曾經覺得微不足道的小事情。洗衣掃地，燒水做飯，縫縫補補，我們的理想不算偉大，只期望偶爾某個早上能偷偷的睡個懶覺。夜裏打工回來，總會是比較興奮的，即便是自己想要去睡覺，也睡不著。身體很累想要睡去，精神卻還在折騰。於是每天上床睡覺的時候，才發現又預支了第二天好幾個小時。
­
網路
­
上網侵蝕了我們每天很多時間，這仿佛聽起來對於喊著沒有時間的我們，很難自圓其說。那是我們僅存的一點僥倖心理在作祟，讓在不經意中還渴望有人和自己一樣，在地球的某個角落發送著SOS或者渴望著回音。於是我們揮霍著寶貴的睡眠時間，遊蕩在一個不存在的感情世界裏。或許網路裏面的我們，才是真實的，因爲這裏讓我們感到安心，這裏沒有天堂沒有地獄，沒有國界。在假的世界裏有著真的我們，暫時逃避開真的世界裏面那個假的自己。
­
朋友
­
對於在外面的我們來說，有兩群朋友，國內和國外的。每次回國，封印的記憶被打開，見到國內朋友是一件多麽幸福的事情。只是隨著在兩個不同環境成長的我們和他們之間，共同語言越來越少，當自己滿懷激情的要把經歷和感受說給他們的時候，反而讓朋友們感到莫名其妙，雖然每次朋友都會微笑點頭，但是直覺告訴自己，他們不會懂，就像自己很難理解朋友們的許多想法一樣。在國外的朋友就不同了。經歷相同的事情，接觸相同的時間，共同語言就會多許多，然而離的越近，摩擦面也就越大，好在雖然時不時吵到面紅耳赤，幾個小時以後，大家又都會回到不分你我，因爲心裏都明白，處一個朋友是如何寶貴的，快樂是因爲兩個人的快樂，悲傷是因爲兩個人的悲傷。蝙蝠不會和鳥兒飛翔，也不同於獸類的習性，能和它爲伍的只有和自己一樣的蝙蝠。
­
戀愛
­
­國外的愛情，來的太快，走的更快。這裏沒有親情，缺少友情，愛情的成分就自然膨脹。脆弱的人把愛情當作良藥，堅強的人把愛情當作遊戲。這裏的愛情就像被飼養的肉食雞一樣，有了目的的成長只是一個簡單的程式，幾天就可以養肥一隻白白胖胖的雞，幾天也可以培養一份看似親密無間的愛情。結果，和肉食雞乾燥無味的肉質一樣，催化起來的愛情也是難以下咽。
­
想家想父母，但是不懂得如何能確切表達。即便在國外學了許多語言，卻發現自己的表達能力越來越差。"慈母手中線，遊子身上衣"這裏面的分量，心裏明白，也想說，說不出來。想家的感覺很美，就像圓月的深夜，想要沈浸在這個美麗中，卻有冷風時時提醒自己，這是外國的月亮。家，對我們來說，是藏在心裏最暖的一個寄託，不敢打開這個盒子，一旦打開，眼淚就會有流下來。然而，外國不需要我們的眼淚，只需要我們汗水。親情也自然就成了一個被禁忌的話題，成了扭著心頭的痛。
­
我們需要的不是同情，而是認可。
