i just spent hours looking at the footages of the rally and one of them is the protest for the prime minister najib during his official visit to London. and i just have to vent it out.

in the video there was this scene where our foreign affair minister engaged a conversation with the protestors and it seems like all he got was accusing the people of not perceiving the event thoroughly as he kept repeating that they do not get the picture. given that were the case, and also those tones of reports and video footages circulated on the internet were not the truth as argued by the lofty minister, proved us wrong with concrete evidence please.

upon questioned on the brutality done by polices, he skimmed over by claiming that it is for the safety of people and nation. i appreciate that you government was with good intention of attempting to thwart any possible chaos would result from the rally even though that might be just another frantically organized excuse, but when the thing was carried out with a noble motive like that still happened to be completely ruined eventually, it just shows that you are not capable in handling this situation. i, hence, seriously think that you might need to assign another person with greater mind to carry out the task. if that was already the best talent you could reach, then it is with utmost regret to inform you that you need change the entire government.

please, i was once very positive about our country and appreciated the government wholeheartedly back then. during occasions like Thomas Cup, i would drain every single energy i had within to yell ‘Malaysia Boleh’ out of my lungs because it felt so proud and to certain extent, spiritual. now when i look back, i guess i was just too naïve and brainless. even writing the previous sentence makes me feel extremely embarrassed. and the me now, do not even dare to voice it out, not because i do not support the particular team, as a matter of fact, it feels really ironic shouting that when shit happens back in my country.

pardon me, because i have been longing for a sensible government.

 

ffs

i woke up in jolt every night, for the past 3 weeks. looked at the clock, first thing came into mind was the time left to due date. i had to break down the time and distribute my task within each time frame so that it could be done on time. because time has always been an issue for us, or me. to one extent i thought i could not complete my assignment that i succumbed to applying for an extension. so i walked in student centre with my head down and asked for it. it was so inhumane of them that too many assignments was apparently not a valid reason to get extension for your assignment. i know they are just working under another big devil of unimelb. in the end i still walked out with head down like defeated soldier. they must be thinking i was such a lousy student but i thought the same about me too. icbf.

for that long critical period, stress had overthrown my sleep deprive so much that i barely thought of my bed.  i am surprised still. i close my eyes now and i see the silhouette. tsk tsk tsk.

sorry if it feels a bit random there because i just woke up after sleeping half a day and i feel so light now. assignments for year two thousand ten done and i survive through the past 3 weeks =DDDD nonetheless, this morning, sunny. it is a fresh start, but exams await.

i need to tame the exam, just like i tame the goat.

i wonder how is everyone doing at home, i am going back soooooon, real soon. =]

shanghai recap

few things i learnt in shanghai.

it took me 24hours to experience the hustle bustle city lifestyle before i shouted enough.

pedestrians and vehicles can co-exist on the road. no tolerance required.

traffic rules remain rules. they are meant to be broken.

stalls are allowed in the middle of road, depending on traffic conditions.

honk is the sole and utter language on the road. nothing else is.

never underestimate every single aunty on the street. they have better stamina diehard spirit. and they could be hidden kungfu master.

finally witnessed the long-heard 13billion population. despite the deep chinese culture inherited within, i was totally shocked by the chinese, in many aspects.

if you rip the world expo off from shanghai, it will be just a land with megastructures. no culture. no local cuisine. or maybe i didn’t find one.

all in all, shanghai trip was super tiring but simply fun =D

中国人真的是刻苦耐劳，自强不息。

waka waka

it has been a while since i wrote something here. i went browsing previous posts before this and discovered that i kept making false claims that i was back to blogging. shame on me =D but just guess that i really had that in my mind when i wrote those blog posts.

on the other note, i had been complaining throughout the semester that i always wanted to do something quality in my life, be it assignment or lifestyle, but they barely succeeded given the very evil dominating architecture course i am doing. because you see, melbourne is such a passionately crafted city, with all the great architectures, unique cultures and varieties of food gathered in oneself, and living in this wonderful place, i should not and could not be possibly leading a life as a pathetic student with huge obsession over 3d modelling, architectural style and design  thinking sort of stuffs right. i promised to walk out from this once holiday hits. so, as the result, i am spending much more time managing my life, be more responsible to it. more committed to life, less instant noodle, do a bit reading, maintain personal hygiene etc. things i had been neglecting. so, this is how my holiday started, not too bad actually =]

anyway, peaceful night tonight, with wine at my disposal, cuddling in blanket, nice movie screening, long awaited moment.

signing off. good night

 

hi =]

this is only third week. lecturers are tearing me apart. see what architecture have done to my life. tsk tsk tsk.
picking up my old hobby again. sleep. bye bye!

ohya, this post is solely to say hi to the world. i afraid that i have been forgotten. =D

today

it’s not very often that i can actually sit right in front of the computer with the sole purpose of blogging as it has become few of the last thing to do in my list nowadays. it’s not the thing i will do with kengwei around. he’s such a cheerful housemate, with noise. haha

but this silence brings me back and i guess i just succumb to the loneliness now. but the feeling is good. the freshness of air after rain, invigorating. the company of apple juice, chilling.

it wasn’t like that couple of hours ago. darryl was here as the guest of the day. woke up with someone there playing dota, as if beckoning me to join him even though i wasn’t fully awake. but of course i would join even without invitation. had several nice matches that we forced people to leave games, as usual =D afternoon, darryl wasn’t feeling well, taking the absence of congee at nearby restaurants as reason, we headed city for lunch before he went back. but the company dissipated as soon as he walked away from me.

at that moment of time, i was thinking if i could follow darryl back to his home and attend church tomorrow? haven’t been to there for ages already. but that request didn’t get initiated. if only i could bring along my laptop. so on the street resonated with the chatters of thousands people, i shielded myself against the noise and walked back to my house. and then call it a day.

tomorrow will be a busy day. have to get everything sorted out well tomorrow, hopefully.

hmm, now that i feel weird that the excitement didn’t surge along the completion of my last exam paper. i gotta feeling playing behind is obviously futile. i think i know why. anyway, off to bed now. good night.

p.s i almost forget that blogging is as easy as this. it had been a while now. people, i’m back to blogging. for the moment =)

adelaide

i went adelaide last week. unlike melbourne city, that place actually gave me a peaceful and quiet town image, which is very much like kuala terengganu. no high rise buildings, no huge shopping malls. but those undulating landscapes and breathtaking sceneries are everything we need for a runway from melbourne.

i can’t put the whole trip into words here because i can hardly recall what i had been doing since first day. and also i’ve never got a itinerary. lol. close to my heart, i know that i enjoy the whole trip though. with companions around, i will never relate the trip with boredom.

i was brought to many places. as much as i enjoy exploring places in adelaide, szeyin’s kaki-kaki mahjong definitely did add some sparks in my trip. i met some people there and had a bit more understanding towards their drinking and mahjong culture.

also, i was surprised when elisa actually planned the itinerary for us and kept reminding us to confirm our route ahead each day because most of the places we went are no where close to the city hence we do need a careful planning and best with a gps. but what szeyin did was a map made with several lines. very yeng ar, like me. who needs gps when the driver herself has such awesome built in navigation system. lol

as i said before adeliade is a wonderful place to escape to and words can anymore express how i wanted to embrace everything there. so, i decided to show it with action. 

oh adelaide, you remind me of terengganu.

adelaide actually looks nicer than those shots. the sole problem is my camera because the photos i took always differ from what i observed with my eyes. so, just try to imagine adelaide is maybe 5 times nicer than those you see.

lastly. thank you. i love you. it was so fun hanging out with you.

that’s pretty much i want to tell about the trip.

p.s we are not couple. i am lucky to survive through the days that her bf didn’t slaughter and chop me and feed those pieces to penguin. =)

450ml

Below is the blood donator’s card i received once i registered to be blood donor last year. very much like the card in japan or throughout the world, the card serves as our blood identification card that could avoid all the hassles the next time you donate blood.

i can still recall the time when i donated my blood. i hopped into the centre with a friend and volunteered to do something for the needy. the moment when i went in there, i saw a really long queue to the door and i found amazing that the love is still full of love because that day was not a special blood donation day that people just join the crowd to donate blood. in fact, that was a fine boring weekday.

and of course me being a foreigner, the staffs in the centre responded meticulously by carefully obtaining every single detail that might potentially diagnose an infection or bacteria or virus in my blood. but they were so regret of their thoughts because the result turned out to be perfectly perfect and the all indexes indicates that my blood is the blood that they have been always looking for. i could see that from their eyes.

so, to support my statement above, they decided to go against the norm where they took 450ml instead of going according my weight’s allowance, which is 400ml, which is also 50ml more than chai ei. that’s was cunning of them. also, they even persuaded me to join their frequent blood donor club by giving me the card in advance and arranged an appointment for me during my last birthday. so called to contribute something meaningful during my birthday.

unlike the cute nurse chai ei got in japan, the staff helpig me was an old middle aged lady, with a really stern look but soft and kind inside. i noticed that from her angelic smile when she walked away from me, trust me, so angelic that you can never imagine. i do prefer a cute japanese nurse to chit chat and share a lot information with me though. after that, my blood started to ooze into blood package and the process was another ordinary boring process which took maybe 6-7 minutes because i remember i watched 2 channel v songs. i’m not really sure.

and another thing i must mention is that the nurse there were really responsible and caring enough that they gave me a list of numbers and addresses to contact just in case i got sick and uncomfortable after donating my blood. a thing that i couldn’t experience when i donated my blood in malaysia. tsk tsk tsk. however, i was not to heong like chai ei that he went to a long distance run right after his donation. hebat betul engkau.

p.s. this is a response post to chaiei’s 400ml.

p.p.s. the 450ml part is totally my imagination but my precious blood and indexes part are true.

p.p.p.s. i just finished my exam and i am very happy.

post-assignment

hi! i am writing this because i just handed in two major assignments of this semester. i feel so good now.

the two assignments are the poster which i had been working for the past ten freaking days. not exactly throughout the 10 days, because i had another assignment which weight less but still a lot. the past 10 days, i think no words can describe how torturing it was. you can only attest it by yourself because no matter how people describe it to you, it somehow sounds exaggerating. anyhow, i screwed the another assignment. i disappointed my tutor i think. she expected something from me she said before and that motivated me so much that i kept cracking my mind to impress her. but now, tsk tsk tsk.

so, can i show you the poster. because i have no other photos to upload recently. of course i can. lol

another assignment and then exams and then holiday. holiday again!
