Holiday updates!

Wow, I thought that was the end of my blog since I haven't really been updating eversince I return to this land of "humidity, traffic jams and summer all year long". It's really good to be home because God knows how homesick I was back in Melbourne.

Though I was longing to be home, however I don't literally stay at home most of the time since I'm back. I must say that the food here has been treating me sooo good that I think I can possibly put on a kg a day. However, because of the climate change that I have to adapt (which I think I have failed to adapt) has caused me to cough for almost a month. Yeah, it was a chronic cough and now I'm getting better....but it doesn't seem to recover completely.

Despite the bad cough, I still managed to make it for the fruity's birthday, Yvonne Liew. It was her 21st and she obviously thought that we would just bring her out to murni and not for some good dinner. We actually had this promise a year or two ago to go to Jogoya together and now that we're financially more stable, it's time to go there as a group for the first time. I never expected my first time in Jogoya would cause me to go through a 3 days indigestion and bloatedness. Probably because I haven't been having buffet for a long time, so I'm just not really used to stuffing too much food into my stomach at a time. sigh, so that made a bad buffet.

Apart from the bad buffet, we also went up to Genting Highlands for some camwhoring and play some games I never expect I would still play at this age. I don't know what is the game called, but if it was me, I would probably name it, " I don't care how much I need to pay, I want the bear!" Don't get me wrong, I am not the crazy one. It's the other two girls :)

Okay, that's all for now. Will update again soon! Don't give up on me yet!

转身的微笑

芦苇坡柠檬草同夕阳的奔跑







日记本里装满的是我傻傻的笑
弥漫的恬静空气里我会明了
只有你才是我春日的骄傲
细雨天懒花猫你淋湿的外套
我在对面的街角数着我们的时光
那个夏天的恋人啊你不知道
你的行囊里放了我的味道

你怎么了 我还在为情祈祷
想回到从前地方 却还是被遗落的小猫
我身锁我等在 你永远不会来得到
我影子我是振救也微笑
旧照片字迹好手机也快感冒
有一连串的问号也和心情一起熬
那个冬天的恋人啊你还在吗
白雪覆盖了你回过头的瞧

你怎么了 我已随着风儿飘
突然间又慌张了 抓不住你给我的讯号
你喜欢的街道也融化在我的眼角
你划过鼓声般的静悄悄
街尽头最后的拥抱我失去最后的力量
你始终不说无法留在这里的理由
已烦恼了那么久我许你自由的希望
就让散步的小路在冬天尽头消失掉

你怎么了我已随着风儿飘
突然间又慌张了 抓不住你给我的讯号
你喜欢的街道 又出现在我的眼角
我爱你还是如此静悄悄
我躲在月亮身后看着你

karaoke on Melbourne cup day.

Hello! It's off day again today! I told myself that i am not going to stay at home today NO MATTER WHAT because I'm so sick of wearing my Maccas uniform and the cap with the letter M on it. For me, I find joy in choosing what top to match which bottom, eventhough it's only a simple and casual top with a very ordinary skirt.

It's Melbourne Cup today hence the public holiday and road blocks everywhere. Suyin came down so the three of us together with Yiying went for karaoke session. Now that I realise, we have never been to karaoke over here together.

Oh before that, below is a random picture I took when I was out at Chaddy with Suyin last week. This kid's shoe is from Adidas and it looks really weird, or some may say, cuteee.

I don't think I need introduce her anymore

the long lost and found skinny buddy, Yiying.

Beauty Solutions.

I don't know what make-up base works for you, some of you may use base powder or some other make-up base but for me, Bio-Essence's Tanaka White Skin Perfecting Lotion is my sunscreen, make-up base and complexion highlighter. Besides giving me a fairer complexion, it actually works so well as a sunscreen and make-up base. I apply it before I put on my foundation and after moisturizer. Mind you, this lotion is NOT OILY at all. The only flaw of this lotion is that it is not suitable for dry skin. If your skin is dry, you may find it look abit flaky and creating an uneven skin tone. If I feel that my skin is really dry, I would apply moisturizer before applying the lotion, otherwise, I would go without the moisturizer. The lotion works perfectly. Oh, I forgot to mention that the price is really reasonable, check it out at Watsons and Guardian in Malaysia.

what are they waiting for?

Facebook used to identify party brawlers


POLICE have released video footage of a violent brawl at a 21st birthday in which 10 men attacked bar staff with weapons.
The girl hosting the birthday party refused to co-operate with police, but a victim identified his alleged attackers when police showed him photos from the party posted on the birthday girl's Facebook page.
The brawl occurred at about 12.30am on Sunday, August 16 at the Equinox Bar in Melbourne's CBD.
A group of men carried out the unprovoked attacked after a bartender spoke to them when they smashed a window in an outside smoking area, Detective Senior Constable Evan Billinge said.
The video footage shows the men using a large ashtray, chairs and tables to attack a manager, bar tender and patron.
All three victims required medical treatment for lacerations but did not suffer serious injuries. Det Snr Const Billinge said it was disappointing the host of the party had not been co-operative.
"We received unsatisfactory co-operation from the female, it was disappointing,'' he said.
"Some photos taken by guests on night were posted by the lady who had the 21st on her Facebook site, the victims identified the picture.''
Police have released images of three men whom they believe may be able to assist with their investigation.

Who would expect that Facebook does 'miracles' at times like this. As the few of us were reading the piece of news above along with the news video footage, we couldn't help but to think what the news was meant to tell. Originally, the news was released to make a big hoo-haa over the matter because the birthday girl who posted the pictures on Facebook refused to co-operate with the police. The police probably believed that releasing the video footage would give pressure to the girl and make her confess the truth.

While we were watching the news video clip, we happened to see a poll at the side of the page. It was a poll to ask nations to vote whether the new bar at Docklands should be approved. Some have argued that the purpose of the entire news was not to catch these criminals and put them in jail. It looked more like the authorities were using this case to tell nations, " do not blame us for early closing bars and strict bars license grant." Some argued that the news does more good than harm, pictures, videos are up, so it's time for justice, catch these criminals then!

There were a few questions running on our minds. Why do they need the birthday girl to be the witness since there were already videos and pictures of the criminals? If there isn't enough evidence, it isn't right to release the pictures and videos on the news because that would be similar to defamation, is it? Is there nothing else they can do besides waiting for the girl to confess the truth?

I wish there's something more effective done than just making these criminals 'famous'.

off day with shopping.

Ahhhh...finally a day off from work! I love work because it's happy to see money flowing in my account and I thank God that my account has never hit deficit since I came over.

So since my account is doing well, I decided to spend my day off with the other shopping partner in crime, Tan Su Yin. It's been ages since we both went to a shopping mall together. Though it's freaking troublesome for me to get down to Oakleigh and catch a bus to Chaddy, but it's all worth it coz the both of us seldom spend quality time together :).

So we went for this unagi bento lunch and started our shopping spree. Two changes I found in shopping partner, big appetite, big spender. Why did I not realise that last time? I still remember how Von, Sy and I went shopping and we just grab a bun from Bread Talk and that's it, shopping all the way. Today we had lunch and two hours later we had tea.

I think the time of dilemma was during the cosmetic shopping. We saw great finds like 9 piece gift set from Clarins, Artist make-up set from Estee Lauder, Chanel's Masque, Bobbi Brown's concealer and many more. Gosh, they were sooo tempting! Sy was having a hard time deciding which to buy and I was doing my best to explaining to her which is good for what :D. Later, she randomly suggested that I should share all my beauty finds on my blog so that she can read. I thought that it was a good idea since I have nothing really much to share nowadays lol.

One of the products that I must share is the Shiseido perfect smoothing compact foundation. I was contemplating between Shiseido and Chanel since the price difference was only 10AUD. But this compact powder not only has good coverage, it also comes in a very nice case. The effects turns out great every single time I use it because it simply moisturizes and it never turns out to be flaky. SPF 15 helps to prevent your skin from exposing to UV rays too. The only flaw about this product is probably the lesser choice of shades. Only about 3 to 4 I think. If you're after more shades, probably the newly launched Advanced Hydro-Liquid Compact would be just nice.

A date with spring.

Spring spring spring. Just like any other girls, flowers melt me each time I see them. Blue roses are my favourite, white tulips are my love. I don't know why blue and why white, but they just complement the flowers so well that I can't take my eyes off them.

So it's spring over here in Melbourne now. I was just mentioning on Facebook the other day about Melbourne having winter all year long. Well, it's true because autumn felt like winter, winter is winter, and spring feels like winter! It's so so cold! But thankfully today's weather is just nice for a visit to the tulip farm :).

I'm finally done with the entire sem so the tulip farm is a good getawayyy. I'll show you today's love :)

wiki and adverts

I am so so so sick of the Internet. So here am I blogging, taking a break from the assignments.

My assignments can be very interesting if you have a fast and stable Internet connection. But not everything goes your way all the time, right?

Everytime we want to find out about something, we google it. And most of the time, the first source that comes up to you is probably none other than Wikipedia. I've read thousands of wikipedia pages, but never wonder how people contribute in Wiki pages. Not until my assignment requires me to set up a Wiki page and edit it every fortnight. Now I feel like I hate html codes so much and guess what, Wiki page has everyone's all-time 'favourite' , references. By now, all the referencing methods are at the tip of my finger, but they will be forgotten very soon, as soon as I complete this sem. It wouldn't even last up to next sem. Just don't ever tell me any work in the internship needs references.

Another assignment which dues on the same day as my miki page,...I mean, WIKI page is the advertising assignment. You wouldn't believe how many advertisements I saw this morning. More than 100ssss. I think the worst part of the assignment is having to find your own adverts and make sure it somehow relates to the concepts you have studied, interpret them. No not the end yet. Then alter it and change the whole meaning of the advert. Half way through in the library, something great happened. My monthly cramps came attacking me until I couldn't bear the pain so I had to pack and go back to my bed and curl like a ball. I think after this assignment, I would not look at advertisements the same way again. Oh but before that, I won't look at adverts for a month!

Okay, let me show you some good adverts I came across :)

Are you sure it's thattt juicy?

LOL. I don't think you can do that if you can't find a parking space in a mall.

Okay, this is one of the best ones I saw. What's the chances of you not using a mirror but the back of it? Unless the Car Paste Wax works better than the mirror :/

Internship?

I guess God just keeps pouring his blessings over me, again and again. About a month ago I received an e-mail from The Sun and they offered me a one month internship starting from December. I thought that was it, since I've been waiting for so long and The Sun was the only one responded.

Two weeks later mum called and told me The Star called up and said they're taking me in for a 2 months internship. Was all hyped-up because it's the leading newspaper eh? But gosh, Pheleo Damansara. The last place you would wana go is that place, 2nd USJ (Usually So Jam). But I had no other choice. Would you give up The Star and go for The Sun solely because of the jam?

This evening, mum called again. It was an answer that came from Media Prima. Ntv 7, news and current affair department. Yes yes! Finally a tv station, no newspaper! But wait, news and current affair department? Entertainment, can? The thing is I have to send all my reports and folios back to uni, and one of the assessments requires me to observe the newsroom. Think Entertainment got newsroom? Oh well, I think I can never run from it. Whatever it is, God was already giving me so much, be grateful please.

Now, how to get there? There's Benny to Pheleo Damansara. What about DU? Sis said, " ehh you can take bus lah." WHAT??? noooooooooooo.....

歌詞

受過傷　銘心刻骨不敢再去妄想
童話原來不可能以與現實成兩樣
而他偷偷來到共我分享
沒預計你願破壞形象

＊明爭不到　如果可暗鬥亦好
學習算數亦怕共敵人走到這一步
迷失　怪自己竟心軟做到
原諒你情人同時迷著信你很好
(原諒你當我沒到還在意怎修補)

由我放虎歸山　根本再沒可能安心渡一晚
無視我難離去快樂變黯淡得與失之間
能愛你的空間　一早已遞減
如果感動不散　才做個後備情人我不貪
沒有他難道我能夠親眼

REPEAT＊

由我放虎歸山　根本再沒可能安心渡一晚
無視我難離去快樂變黯淡得與失之間
能愛你的空間　一早已遞減
如果感動不散　才做個後備情人我不貪

由我放虎歸山　根本再沒可能叫錯失驅散
無視我難離去快樂變黯淡得與失之間
能愛你的空間　一早已遞減
而我自己不慣　無謂繼續錯下去不要他
別再花如浪費時間
沒有他難道我能夠親眼

McCurry VS McD

(CNN) -- McDonald's probably won't be exclaiming "I'm Lovin' It" in this case.

McCurry restaurant owners A.M.S.P Suppiah and his wife Kanageswary Suppiah.

In a David-and-Goliath match-up in the world of fast food, McCurry -- a small Indian curry shop in Malaysia -- has won an eight-year legal battle against the hamburger giant.
McDonald's claimed that the prefix "Mc" in McCurry trampled on its trademark. The country's Federal Court on Tuesday ruled that it didn't.
"We're very relieved -- much, much relieved -- that this eight-year-old saga is finally over," said McCurry owner P. Suppiah. "We're a typical South Asian-Malay cuisine. No way people walking into McCurry can confuse us with McDonald's."
The sparse 24/7 self-service restaurant in the capital, Kuala Lumpur, is popular with blue-collar workers who are drawn to its affordable fare, such as biryani rice and fishhead curry. Its logo: a chicken flashing a thumbs-up.
The eatery opened in 1999. McDonald's filed suit two years later.
"We were shocked that such a big giant wants to take us to court," Suppiah said. "We felt that we had nothing in common, because we were not selling any Western fast food."
The hamburger chain, which has 185 restaurants throughout Malaysia, said McCurry was violating the prefix "Mc" and that McDonald's had the right to protect it.
McCurry, in turn, said the prefix is common and is part of last names all across Europe. Furthermore, it said, the "Mc" in McCurry stands for "Malaysian Chicken Curry."
A lower court ruled in favor of McDonald's, and Suppiah appealed. An appeals court in 2006 overturned that ruling, prompting McDonald's to appeal this time.
On Tuesday, the Federal Court -- the highest in the land -- held up the appeals court ruling. McDonald's said it accepts the judgment.
"We respect the finding of the court and beyond that have no further comment," said Liam Jeory of McDonald's Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa region.
Suppiah said the ruling means he can now add other McCurry locations, with its slogan: "Tasty and so Gooood."

A Malaysian would be happy and proud of McCurry. Those working for McDonalds should support Mcdonalds. I guess in this case, I am giving my thumbs up to McCurry. You do us proud.
