38 Degree Weather?

Strangely enough, when I walked into work today, it was very similar to a furnace! That was quickly changed.
Honestly, I was expecting 38 degree weather to be a bit more extreme, but I'm not complaining :)

Anyway, I have yet again found ANOTHER joy in life! My tip to people will be, if you are really eager to try something, just go for it. For about a year, I have been wanting to use that boogieboard given to me from 'Uncle Sam' when he left for adelaide but have never had the guts to try because of the fear of looking like a total fool. Well, when you are wearing a rashy and holding a boogieboard under your arm, you look AWESOME! You must see me :D I joke. But it is surprisingly easy and surprisingly fun! But we must remember, it is surprisingly tiring too. Especially when the waves turn HELL random. But serious, whoever has a board... PLEASE COME TO THE BEACH WITH ME! I'm going again on new years day!

That reminds me... what should I do tomorrow? Happy New Years with who?
That is a mystery :)

Youtube

A big FUCK YOU to youtube!

As if delete my Enter Sandman video!
Don't give me this BULLSHIT about copyright issues.
You can shove it up your ASS!

I was having such a good day too. I slept the whole day, now I am TOTALLY awake.

Anyway... a friend really likes the photos I took yesterday, and they asked me to follow them to shoot models! I hope they are serious, because if they are, I'm quite excited :)


Again, last night I was up till about 3am watching "Whose Line is it Anyway?" on youtube, man it is such a good show, but everyone has to go to sleep some time. Anyway, as I was turning off my computer, I saw some weird strange object running across the floor. I froze for a minute, thinking, what could it be? and then it continued crawling to my dog's bed. I honestly couldn't tell if it was an insect of a lizard, because it definately looked like a lizard and moved like a lizard, but it had those two spiney things that come out from the butt and it didn't have scales. It was NOT a cockroach, because it had FOUR legs! I ended up getting a fly swat, because I wasn't sure if bug spray would kill it, and swatted it :) It was still twitching, and it seemed to have claws. That serously freaked me out. It had like black crap coming from it's ass. I seriously didnt know what the hell it was. So I left it there for the person who wakes up first to figure out what it was and then I went to sleep :) I was contemplating whether I should take a photo, but comon, it was 3am in the morning!

Today, I told my mum that it was me who killed the 'monster' and she started telling me off! LOL! She said it was a cricket, but I insisted that it was a monster.

I win!

Nightlife of Perth

There might not be a lot to do on a Sunday night in Perth, but many people seem to be out and about with things to do. I see people fishing, having barbeques, couples making out. Never thought that a Sunday night would be that lively.

Going out and taking some snapshots has been proven to be beneficial to me. I am able to experience photography at night!

Here is my best picture of the night, in my opinion. If anyone is up for a road trip, count me in :)

Saturday Night at Home

The title tells it all.

When times get tough, we build card towers :)

This maybe took 10 tries :) SO APPRECIATE IT!

25th December 2008

Woah! Merry Christmas!

It has been a year ALREADY!

My Verdict

Pancake is good!
Turkey is good!
Ham is good!
Chicken is good!
Sausage is good!
Vegetable is good!
MY POTATO SALAD IS NOT GOOD!

As if give me mayonaise instead of coleslaw!
I KNOW my potato salad is AWESOME!, if it was made with coleslaw!

Question... Has anyone received a present that they REALLY wished they didn't get?

Christmas Time

20mins till Christmas, and I'm starting to fall asleep already!
Came back from a long day, which started off with dim sum! Oriental Inn, a GREAT place to eat... *shifty eyes* if you dont get it, I think you need a lesson in sarcasm.

Half the day I was at church. Playing random stuff on the piano for an hour before everyone came back. It put my brother to sleep :) thats how good I am :) BAHAHA! Mass was fine, it was just hilarious when Joe saw me when I was standing and we just started smiling. I think I was extremely happy that the people who I invited to come, ACTUALLY came! Keep in mind, I was occupied the whole mass and was not able to host them! (I'm such a bad host aren't I?)

Anyway, the 9pm mass, Fr George said something extremely interesting. He told a story about a man who found pigeons that kept bumping into the window because they were in search for shelter during a really snowy day. He wanted to help the pigeons, so he tried to lure them with food, but they didn't follow the food, they still kept bumping into the window. The man then tried to scare the birds into the garage. He scared the birds by running around and waving his arms, but the birds scattered in different directions. Then the man said to himself

"I wish I could be the bird to lead them to shelter".
Then, he thought to himself,

"Now I know why Jesus whas made man".
You can figure ;)

Actually, it took me 20mins to write this post, I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and hope everyone stays safe of the season :)
Please tell me what you received for Christmas :) I'm pretty curious aye... :)

Kimochi Baby

Woke up at 6am to Work Work Work! Funny to see I don't really care about customers anymore. Asian customers are the worst, so they receive the worst treatment :)
White people are so cool :) they are friendly and polite :)
So strange at work today, the Christmas spirit just hit me randomly. I think it was because, everyone that received their TER score scored very good! Congratulations to Noelle! I won't post what she got, but she should be VERY proud of herself :)

Anyway, kimochi baby, my whole body is aching... IT'S GOOD! Moving my arms is a pain but it's good! :)
Anyway, who was up for dinner at Tony Romas? I was! The ribs there are extreme! Exquisite! There was a lot of kimochi everywhere there :) Green beans are the best! I should really take a picture of it!

We booked bowling for 7:30pm but ended up reaching there at 8:00pm. We are very efficient at arriving on time :) I totally fail at bowling, but I make sure I have a dam good time! Who seriously gets a gutter ball TWICE?!?! I reckon my cousin was the best! Getting 137 points (if my memory serves me correctly).
Good seeing Ming and Kevin Koo again! :) They always make me smile like a mofo.

So, who is up for some singstar? ;)

3 Days Before Christmas

3 Days before Christmas, and there seems to be a lot of hype about it now!
It's good to see people are happy, people are welcoming.

After Christmas, New Years comes along, and it is where everyone makes their New Year Resolution. I always end up forgetting mine. But I will most probably post what my Resolution is, just for the sake of me trying to remember :)

Please do comment your New Year's Resolution :) It will be interesting to see what yours are :)

My 2am Blog

Lol! 2:30am and I'm blogging!

Christmas is literally a few days away and I'm not REALLY into the spirit. I'm happy and all but where is that hype? Mind you, Christmas is a great time!

I can tell you right now, talking to me when it is past midnight, you can get a lot of sh*t out of me. Honestly, I think this is the ONLY time I give time to myself, besides in the shower :] (I love that place)
Sitting on the computer, talking to friends; friends who actually give back... This is when you start thinking about things you wouldn't normally think about.
Hehe, thanks Dim... even though I know 100%, that you are not reading this post!

Anyway, I haven't actually been able to use my camera to it's full potential! One thing I would like to try this year is...
Modelling shots of friends! I know that sounds pretty weird, but I just think it would be fun and it would also be giving back something to my friends :)

My main concern is, my friends feeling uncomfortable with me with a camera. So anyone who is reading this have any suggestions, it would be much appriciated :)

Holidays

UPDATED! Mangomuncha made me do it!

Just like mangomuncha, 2am blogging is a time where you sit on the computer, thinking about things that have happened to you recently. 2am time seems to be one of the few places where I actually get time for myself, with my dad snoring in front of the TV and the dogs are fast asleep, it is a great time to go through things that would normally take up too much time during the day. You would expect more to be done in 24 hours but it goes relatively fast.

The reason why I havent updated for such a long time is, it wasn't such a GREAT time to write about things, and I did not have much inspiration. But it has come to my attention that there is no REAL need for inspiration when it comes to writing blogs. It is up to you to write something that is meaningful to yourself and just go with the flow.

Anyway, now is a good time to reflect upon 2008. It was a year where friends were made, and friends were lost, where things were achieved and things were left undone. Things happened to me where I never expected to happen. Also, what else was learnt was, everyday is a gift, and should be treasured. I know that this is a very cliched saying, but life is fragile and can be taken away extremely easily. I might re-cap on what happened during 2008 in a later post.

Anyway, Friday was my sister's birthday, and Saturday was my uncle's birthday. Who would have known I could eat so much ice-cream cake! It was to a point where I was starting to not like ice-cream! But I believe it was the iceing.

Anyway, I have realised that these holidays so far have been just as hectic as the uni semester. Produce a video for Noelle, who is sadly leaving Perth FOREVER because she doesn't like it here (I joke), help out with A.S.I.A business, which I am quite disappointed in, also preparing for the festive season. Great times, which are meant to be filled with laughter and happiness. Yes, much of it is laughter and happiness, but there's just something that isn't right about it. Something is missing, and no, it is not a girl, as some may think, but something else that I just can't put my finger on.

We'll see what happens during the next few weeks and I'll try to keep myself updated :)

On a lighter note, part of producing a farewell video is to actually show people the video! I do not take full credit for this, only partial :) Please tell me what you think about it, either here or on the youtube page itself.

My World Youth Day Experience

This is going to take a while, so I have decided to slowly write about it.

It started off on Sunday night where we arrived at the airport. Went into the computerised check in point just to find out that MY NAME WASN'T THERE! At this point I was still calm because I was told to manually check in and it work :) Then I had to check in my bass and it had to go through a drug screening thing o.O Why though? Me? Hold drugs? I don't think so.
Anyway, went upstairs to find out our flight was delayed 30 mins? That was alright. So we were waiting and waiting, then BAM! It was delayed again. I actually fell asleep for 20 mins in the airport and then woke up. After I learnt to play this awesome game. It is very much like a verbal snap. It is quite intense but I'm too lazy to explain it here. Our plane got delayed again but luckily it didn't get delayed any longer. All up, we were waiting for our plane for 2 hours extra. I couldn't believe our plane was a Jumbo! I didn't care that I was sitting the furthest back >.<

Left to right: Some guy in PJ pants at the airport, Photo of the coach, Sydney Airport sign

Anyway, this is about Sydney not the flight. Arrived in Sydney and got driven to our destination. I actually slept most of the trip but that isn't important. We stayed a primary school called St. Michaels. They couldn't have catered for us any better! We stayed in a demountable and it was room 8! We had a piano and it was our change room! For people who were part of the catachesis animation team, we had practice, for the rest of them, they went site seeing! Well that night, we were welcomed by a HUGE dinner prepared by the community, which I think was very kind of them. Everyone was so friendly and not afraid to talk to us. At the dinner, I met these American twins. I was amazed because they were AMERICAN! My first taste of the international people at WYD! After dinner, we found out wat our showers were. They were wooden boxes with shower heads. Luckily they had a gas heating system in it. 3 people were able to fit in at the same time! LOL! So we showered and went to our rooms. More happened but long story made short, we went to sleep.

It was now 6.45am Sydney time, which is 4.45am Perth time, and we were woken up to be told about the fire drill. I think a lot of people were cranky. Anyway, after breakfast, went along with Dan, Christine, my sister and some other various people to Darling Harbour. I admit we were pretty random to some other pilgrims. We would be hell friendly and keep asking them for a picture if they had a flag.

Darling Harbour

Americans we saw

OH MY GOSH! FRENCH PEOPLE!

Multiculturalism :)

Pretty cool Americans I met, unfortunately I can't remember their names

I think everyone was feeling the same way we did, which was, Oh my gosh! So many international people. We HAVE to talk to them! It was my first time seeing SO many people from all over the world. After talking and stuff, I decided to visit my awesome cousin with my sister, Barry, Alvin and Nick. Met up with her, and we went to a steakhouse with $7 steak! Went inside, and found out it was a scam! You were required to buy a drink. I was hell cheap and about a lemon lime bitters. After our meal, my sister was stressing a lot, worried about not making it to the opening mass on time. I kept reassuring her that I walk hell fast and we would make it on time but she just walked off to make her own way to Barangaroo. I said bye, and did my pilgrimage walk to Barangaroo :) I was totally alone! I took a train from Town Hall to a station called Wynyard, with a few hundred other people. For some reason, I wasn't scared one bit!

Navigate through this!

I have no idea why I wasn't scared, maybe it was because I was so amazed by the whole thing. People around me were just singing and dancing, I couldn't help but to join in! It is hard to explain what it was like. Try to imagine water, but each water drop was a person, and the water was going down a hill. Think of that but slow it down by about 100. Eventually I arrived at the entrance and saw my sister waiting there. My gosh, it took me about one and a half hours to get from the train station to Barangaroo!

At Barangaroo, I met up with my brother an the others. We went to a different section where we made settlement! Me and Adrian were standing around, when two American girls bumped into us. They apologised and we actually started to have a conversation! I was surprised, they actually wanted to talk to us! Their names were Megan and Hope! We talked about hell random stuff as if we had known each other for YEARS!

Megan, Hope, Me and Adrian

I was still amazed by the number of people there. It was like everywhere you looked were people! The mass began and I was REALLY impressed how it was done. Kevin Rudd spoke and the Cardinal of Sydney celebrated the mass. So World Youth Day official started and everyone was celebrating. On stage, various things happened. Guy Sebastian and Paulini were on stage and at the end, These tap dancing dudes came on and started tap dancing. I wasn't THAT impressed but then they jumped down from the stage to the first level (there were two levels) and they put on these things over their faces. We were all wondering what was happening. Suddenly sparks shot out in every direction! They were sparking to the beat! I was stunned. I thought that was the greatest thing I had ever seen!

SPARKS!

Anyway, that was pretty much the first official day of World Youth Day

to be continued...

Give me a J, J, You got your J, You got your J...

Here is this REALLY awesome Jesus Chant that was learnt in Sydney :)



I shall tell you guys about my WYD experience later when I have the patience :)

Bye Bye Perth

Adios Amigos :)

Another Friday, Another Ordinary Day at Work

A bird flew into work today. It was funny.

Anyway, farewell for two weeks as I will be leaving Perth :)

My dogs can dream, I wonder what they dream about. Random...

Au revoir

Holidays, what more can I say. Either full of fun or the opposite. I must say that the past few weeks have been VERY eventful. Hanging out with Char and NoL was great fun :) we shall do it again sometime.

Also I learnt this awesome cup beat :) it's good fun :) it goes, *tap tap tap tap tap tap tap* something like that. Just joking. It goes like this :)

Hanging out with Char was the most fun I had in a long time. She is like an older sister to me >.<
We hide from cameras

We pimp our rides :)

Anyway, sadly she has left already, but more fun emerged! It is what some call A.S.I.A Camp! Sorry to say, what happens at A.S.I.A Camp stays at A.S.I.A Camp :) But it was a LOT of fun. Feel jealous if you weren't there.

Recovered from A.S.I.A Camp already and another challenge has arisen. WORLD YOUTH DAY! I know Sydney people are against it >.<>

Oh also Amanda's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMANDA!

see if they work.
Valentinos, then Metros. I have come to conclusion I will not go to Metros anymore. I was bum sexed by a stupid fat, smell, sweaty man! Also people like Vivienne go underaged clubbing. Shameful LOL!

Anyway, this blog is over, I have lost the plot.
