Why, hello there. Haha :)
It appears that I haven't updated my blog since freakin' June. That's what.. 4 months now? Shit. I really gotta stop doing this. I always have the habit of being lazy and not update, and then for some reason I'd just suddenly start again. But seriously, knowing myself, I reckon this habit is just gonna keep repeating itself.
So anyways I'm updating now cause I have this assignment that requires us to create a digital portfolio and we can use Blogger to do so. Obviously it reminded me of this blog and so I thought, why not?
Okay.. updates.
Well, I've been in Melbourne (which is like my dream come true. Yes, it sounds corny or cliche but it has always been my dream to further my studies here ever since my visit when I was 12. No kidding) for like 4 months now.
It's awesome here. I'm loving the weather.. though it's crazy ass! Loving the company.. most of my friends here are from KL and Singapore, except those at church cause they're all ABCs (Aussie Born Chinese, for you noobs who don't know what that means). Loving the shopping and the fashion. Loving the fact that I get to see more of my Aussie cousins, Nicole and Alice. And well, actually I practically love everything about this city.
So I'm doing my Bachelor of Communication (Advertising) in RMIT. Uni is fun.. tough but fun. Everyone's friendly and all. The Aussies are pretty intimidating though cause they're work seems a whole lot better than what I come up with. Makes me feel inferior. But well, so far so good.
We only have a couple more weeks left for uni. Can't believe time passed so quickly. Tons of assignments to do and complete this week and my habit of procrastinating ain't helping at all. Sigh. Really gotta be serious and finish everything this week. Gotta stop watching tv too.
I'll stop here for now. Will try to blog more often. Hm.. my blog need a face lift too. I getting bored of the colors and especially the header. Let's see what I can dig up.

Revenge is not so sweet
WHATHEFREAK?!!!
I bloody love Transformers man! Yeah, as you can guess, I'd just watched Transformers 2. Watched it Adrian and JonT.
This was damn last minute actually. I'd just had lunch with my mum and a family friend at Sakae Sushi @ the Curve. Oh btw Aunty Doreen's her name and she was so nice. She said lunch was on her since I'm leaving to Oz soon. And I had tons but she kept asking me to eat more! She's nice like that. Thanks heaps!
So anyhoots, I was on the way home from lunch when Adrian called. Mind you, I was already near the toll to Kepong and it was 2-ish. So he said he had an extra booked ticket for Transformers 2 at 3.30pm and if I'd want to come along. Like DUH! I drove home to change (I was in shorts and didn't wanna freeze my ass off) and left for MV straight away.
So yeah, the movie was BLODDY HOT!!! Yes, it was a tad draggy during the war scenes but overall it's no doubt pretty awesome. And the humor was just as good. I just don't get why everyone says they're disappointed. Stuff you and your disappointment!
Okay here's my advice: To not be disappointed with any sequel of whatever movie, just don't get your hopes and expectations too high. If you don't expect too much then you won't be as disappointed. DUH! Easy as pie *rolls eyes*
I ♥ Megan Fox!

"Life's a climb, but the view's great."
Travis Brody, HMTM
Travis Brody, HMTM
I watched Hannah Montana The Movie just now. Yes, I watched it. Wanna judge? Stuff you! Whatevs.
So I personally think that quote is so true. Life is no doubt full of trials, errors and tribulations but most of the time, the rewards are awesome to receive and/ or accept.
The movie was unexpectedly good. And the ending, especially when she sang 'The Climb', was so tear-inducing la. Fcuk! I cried like someone died. Haha. Anyhoots, I love that song la. If you've watched the movie then you'll really know the meaning behind the the lyrics. Awesome stuff.
Oh ya! I almost lost my phone too. I watched this at Jusco Metro Prima and today the patrons were particularly few. So in the cinema hall that I was, there were only 3 people, including me. So yeah, I decided to get comfy and put my legs on the seat in front of me.
On the way out only did I realize that my phone wasn't in my pocket. I knew I must have either dropped or left it on the seat (after replying my friend's message) in there. So I rushed back in and asked the guy to let me in again to look. That fool slowly took his time and called more fools to go look instead. Eventually, I found out that my phone has already been found and was kept in the office behind the ticket counter. Bloody bastards had to freakin' waste my time! Stupid.
So I got my phone back. No worries.

Gender gap
To all the dad's out there, especially mine..
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
I found this comic via Google and unfortunate as it is, it's pretty true. The stuff Marv and I get for our dad ain't always as nice as what our mum gets. It's the same for birthdays. Sometimes we forget and he gets nothing. Though I know he won't read this, but on behalf of the both us, we're sorry if it hurt you in any way. And no matter how much we think or say that we hate you, deep down, we still love you.
Happy Fathers Day pa.

Overweight issues
I started packing my stuff for Oz today. And man, it's bloody boring! So here I am taking a breather and.. blogging.
So yeah, I've only started packing today. I've been so lazy about it. And thing is, it's not the only thing I have to do. I still have a few other important stuff (none of them related to my flying to Oz) to settle before I leave. Ugh.
Anyways, I've been folding clothes all day. And it's this constant, routine-like movements of taking the clothes off the hangers, folding them and then putting them into the luggage is what makes packing so boring. Okay, I've gotta stop complaining :(
Change of topic. My dad has just flown down to Oz this afternoon. He's tagging along with one of my uncles.. the rich architect, Uncle Ambrose to be exact. Most of my dad's expenses for the trip are paid for by him. Yes, including the plane tickets. He's my dad's brother-in-law and their like BFFs. Go figure.
Anyhoots, my cousin (Uncle Ambrose's son) and his girlfriend are also flying down later today. Yes, separate flight. Weird right? I know. And btw, they're Aaron and Samantha. Sammie's studying in RMIT, like me :)
So yeah, that's why my uncle flew down. He needs to be there to find and buy an apartment for them. And, like I said, my dad's just tagging along. So cause he's going before me, he helped me bring down some stuff too. But it ain't much. I've still got lots to bring down on my own.
Gotta get back to work. Sigh.

Safe as home
I am HOME!!!! Back from Europe and home sweet home. We didn't get dinner on the plane so my dad took us to Kana. Good old mamak food.
But uhm.. I wished we could've stayed longer in London la. I really, really love that city. Love it!
Shopping there is bloody awesome! Heck it's the freakin' birthplace of Topman la. Their Topman outlets are damn 7 huge and so are their choices. I was like a kid in a candy store. No shit. Good thing I got my share of retail therapy cause my mum offered to pay some. Lurves! :D But I still want more time in there la. So darn much to see, yet so little time.
Oh and btw, everything is dirt cheap for them Brits! One branded top can cost less than 20 pounds.. and I stress on the 'branded'! They have this budget brand called Primark. A tee there can cost as little as 3 or 4 freakin' pounds! Their plimsolls and sneaks are only 2.45 pounds. That's what? About RM14 for a pair of shoes? Like wtf right?? Sadly I didn't get anything from Primark. I'd missed every chance I got. Crud!
Anyhoots, food is also damn cheap too. A pack of candy from Marks & Spencer costs less than a pound and a McD or Subway set meal is about 3 pounds plus.
Food is also cheap in Munich. The pastries were super yummy! I liked Munich too. Also wished we could've stayed there longer. I especially liked that it was cold there and everywhere was so clean. Awesome place.
Paris was.. hmm.. so so. Not as amazing as I'd originally expected, quite disappointing actually. The metro, especially, is bloody confusing! The people you ask sometimes don't even know themselves. But it's not true that they say all Parisians aren't nice. Most of the people my family and I have met are pretty darn nice.
And then there's Marv's place. Feldberg, Germany. It nice and.. green. Really-vibrantly green, green. And I mean the plants, trees and all that. We had a nice view from our window. The hotel, Familotel Feldberger Hof is really family oriented. You can literally find kids running everwhere. Every night halfway through dinner, there's this sing-along circle in the lobby which is really cute cause all the kids are so into it. Oh and they allow dogs in too. Dunno about other pets, though.
Btw I can tell you this.. Marv is living a damn good and pretty relaxed life there. He only needs to work during breakfast and dinner when we were there. In between he had plenty of time to relax and all.
Okay, enough rambling. Gotta get back to satisfying my 2 weeks of internet and Facebook deprivation. LMFAO!

Euro trip
I still can't believe that my family and I are flying to Europe tonight. Well actually the flight's at 2am on Tuesday, so we'll be at the airport tonight.
And yes, the flight's at 2am. We'll stop in Dubai at 4am (Dubai time) to transit. The following flight, which will take us to Munich, Germany is at 8.35am (again Dubai time). It's gonna be a long, LONG night.. and flight!
Okay, gotta go now. Still got lots of things to take care of: gotta type out the itinerary for Paris and finalize the one for London, and buy the stuff that Marv needs us to bring over. Damn 7 stressful la! Sigh. But what to do, I'd procrastinated. So I'll just have to accept the consequences.
Cya in 2 weeks! Bye.

It's all good
My study agent just called. Btw her name's Leong Ji Li, from Studylink Sdn Bhd. She damn efficient and has helped me with my Oz stuff heaps! I can't thank her enough. So anyhoots, if you're planning to go study at Oz, go find Ji Li. She'll be glad to help.
Okay. So guess what the call was about?? My student visa was just granted! Woot!!!
Oh and another thing.. some girl from Topman also called earlier this morning. She said that my black hoody has arrived! Double woots! Hmm.. I thought someone said one week? *rolls eyes*
I love it when things turn out right. LMFAO!
Darren out.
EDIT (4.o6 PM)
I quote my cousin's status on FB (she's Aussie btw):
Alice Fong i love those phone calls that come JUST at the right time.
What a coincidence, huh?

I have exactly one month before I fly down to Oz. Yeah, you heard me read right.. ONE MORE MONTH!
Damn. Time really flies.
Part of me is stoked as hell! Trust me. I've been waiting for this moment of leaving the country for a bloody long time. Then the other part is obviously sad to *sobs* leave.
Sigh..

Roos from the hood
Just got back from my medical check-up. Apparently I'm normal, which is good. So now i just have to wait for my visa to be granted.
Went to OU after the check-up. I need more hoodies for the coming Europe trip and especially for Oz. Topman has some cheap, basic kangaroo ones in plain colors which I really like. Wanted the black hoody but their all out of stock. The only, and I repeat, ONLY outlet that still has it in stock is at Queensbay Mall in Penang! WTF?? I didn't know it was old stock.
So anyhoots, I asked them to send it over and apparently it'll take a week the least. Sigh. I hate it when things go wrong. But I told them to send it over anyways and that I'll come back to the store for it after Europe.
But uhm.. I ended up buying the one in grey :D

Sometime foods
Nicky, Lou, Iman and I baked cookies yesterday. It was tiresome (we had to drop each spoon of batter on onto the mat one-by-one, and there was a giant mixing bowl of it!) but was still fun heaps.
We made two types of cookies. Actually, Iman and I made the batter for the peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies. Nicky and Lou made the Famous Amos ones.
So from the peanut butter batter (Ooh, tongue twister!), I made a 'D' shaped cookie. And it turned out pretty good.
D-licious!
I wanted to take another picture of me biting the 'D' against a white background. Only place was the dining room. Sad thing was after the first try, I was wiping sweat from my cheek when the cookie broke. I forgot I was just holding the tip. It fell, hit a nearby chair and "exploded" all over the floor! Poor cookie :'(
The picture I took before the "explosion".
The cookie's "remains".
The bits I managed to save are on the red cover.
Oh and after dinner, we played Pictionary! I love that game! It was fun heaps too but Lou and I kept getting the difficult words. We lost. Duh!

Drama king
What a wacko night!
Just got back from Alex's party at Iman's place and man, the drama was insane I tell you! But sorry. Not bothering to go into the crazy details.
Honestly though, aside from the drama, it was all still pretty fun. So another party like this one minus all the hooha would be awesome! Anyone willing to organize?

Hokkienland
Penang was AWESOME!!!
Well pretty much la, aside from the moments of drama here and there. But whatevs, I had fun heaps!
The beach, especially, was the best! We stayed at this dodgy but still comfy traveler's lodge that's right opposite Batu Ferringhi beach. So we could go to the beach whenever we wanted, 24/7. Our first night itself, we sat at the beach bar drinking and chatting till almost 3am! So fun.
Oh and the food was great too, of course. I ♥ Penang hawker food la seriously. Cheap and so damn good. What else can a foodie ask for? Haha.
Speaking of food, I drank my fill of ambra asam juice there. Haiya ambra, ampula or kedongdong, whatever you wanna call it la. But man, I love that drink. Wonder why they don't have it in abundance here in KL like they do in Penang. Such a disappointment.
Anyhoo, can't wait to do another trip with friends again. They really are very fun. Man, I'm excited already. Woot!

I can't believe I forgot all about it. I was so stoked to go. How could I have forgotten?? Shit. And I haven't packed nothing! ZOMG! This is the first time ever I'm packing last minute. I bet I'll forget something.
Okay. Gonna go pack. Bye.

The Penang trip is finally confirmed. Yipadee-doo-dah-yay!
It's gonna be five of us: me, Lou, Nicky, Alex and Iman (She's a new friend. And she's from Maldives. Sweet!) We're going this Friday and will be back Sunday. Now for the shocker.. we're leaving at 4am. Yes, 4 in the pagi! No joke.
Yeah, my friends are crazy, I know. But that's why I love them. Cue: Aawww! :D
I'm so stoked! Woot!

Pentheraphobia
That's the fear of mother-in-laws. I was curious whether such a fear exists. So I googled it and apparently it does.
So I watched Monster-in-Law with my mum this afternoon. It was one of those special Mother's Day movies. Plus I had always wanted to watch it but never got to.
I thought the cat-fights and its results were bloody hilarious, especially the swollen lips. Cause uhm.. well I can relate to that. Used to wake up on some days with swollen lips when I was younger. Dunno why it happens, though.. it just does but very irregularly. Maybe it's some allergic reaction too, but yeah, was some random shit. But obviously mine wasn't as swollen as that la. DUH! Okay, I think I should shut up about that.
Anyhoo, my favorite was Ruby, the assistant. She actually has the balls to talk back and bang some sense into that uncontrollable biatch of a mother-in-law! Wanda Sykes plays Ruby and she's one of my favorite actresses and comedians.
Btw I found a second Monster-in-Law poster:
I like this one better la. The tagline's obviously funnier and I think it's somewhat more easily understandable. Okay whatever. Bye.

Monster-in-Law
After years of looking for Mr. Right, Charlotte 'Charlie' Cantilini finally finds the ultimate man of her dreams, Kevin Fields--only to discover that his mother, Viola, is the woman of her nightmares. A recently fired news anchor who is afraid she will lose her son the way she has just lost her career, Viola determines to scare off her son's new fiance by becoming the world's worst mother-in-law. While Viola's long-time assistant Ruby does her best to help Viola execute her crazy schemes, Charlie decides to fight back, and the gloves come off as the two women battle it out to see just who is the alpha-female.

After years of looking for Mr. Right, Charlotte 'Charlie' Cantilini finally finds the ultimate man of her dreams, Kevin Fields--only to discover that his mother, Viola, is the woman of her nightmares. A recently fired news anchor who is afraid she will lose her son the way she has just lost her career, Viola determines to scare off her son's new fiance by becoming the world's worst mother-in-law. While Viola's long-time assistant Ruby does her best to help Viola execute her crazy schemes, Charlie decides to fight back, and the gloves come off as the two women battle it out to see just who is the alpha-female.
Special ladies

Even if sometimes we don't show it, we do actually love you.

Shit happens, sometimes it sucks
Just got back from my church's Family Day. We had it at the Taman Bukit Maluri open field. Was tonnes of fun! And to think I told them I wanted to help out with the telematch instead of playing. They didn't let me of course. No regrets there.
Plus I really thank God that the Penang trip was postponed or I wouldn't have been able to go. Some things do happen for a reason and it's nice when the reason's good.
So I was in the Turtle group. They made me leader, which I wasn't surprised of considering I was the oldest guy there. My group had 2 guys, 2 girls, one grandma, and 2 little boys. Pretty odd group, I know. But hey, we won consolation. It's not first prize, but not too bad for the odd group huh?
Things I didn't like? The weather was hot balls at one point. Man, I hate the heat! It makes me sweaty and sticky like that.
Also the last race had one of each of the team members' ankles tied up. We had to run half the field and the top three teams get extra 10 points each. Cause I was the leader, I was first in line and had one of the dead knots tied to my ankles.
That's when shit happened. During the race, that knot got tighter cause some dumbo beside me (who wasn't even supposed to be racing in the first place) kept on stepping on the string when we ran. And that fcuking hurt like dog! It was so tight at one point, paranoia made me think the string had started cutting into my skin. Note to self.. never again take part in a multi-legged race, nor a 3-legged race for that matter.

Parsletongue
Guess what I've found..
Another trailer for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince! Woot! I'm such a Potter freak, I tell you. Lol.
This trailer's simpler la. I guess you can say it's more straight to the point. But however it is, it's still another awesome trailer that is causing me to get more and more stoked on watching the bloody movie! So yeah man. Can't wait! Can't wait! CAN'T WAIT!
Freak :P
