Just heard a great quote from Criminal Minds:

"Scars remind us of where we've been; They don't have to dictate where we're going."

G.... C. D.

Simple simple chords.

Makes such a simple feeling a ten-fold.

Don't get what I'm talking about?

Six strings. It plays my heart.

of burning bridges

I quit my restaurant job recently. I just think it's not worth it anymore. I mean... I'm 24 for god's sake... How long do I have to wait on tables for. It's just time for me to do something with my life. I've been careless. I've allowed myself to fall into a comfort zone. And by letting this happen, I let people take advantage of me.

Though I am still rather clueless as to what I should do now, I feel better in a way. Weird, I know. But hell, I am the definition of weird. I would love to plan my life, but I love doing things spontaneously more. Sure, this is life. Life is hard. Life's a bitch.

I say life's too short.

Yes, of course I have to be financially stable and all. But I am a Psychology & Marketing major. It's like unconsciously I wanted to be mentally troubled and be forever stressed. If I wanted a more "normal" life which included a 9 to 5 job in a cubicle for the rest of my life (though never having to worry about money), I would've studied accounting. Both my parents are bankers... go figure.

I am the black sheep of not only my family. Compare me with the rest of my cousins, uncles, aunts... I am the only one who stands out. I think I would actually disappoint them if I got a 9 to 5 job, got married and have kids. Instead of "Wow, you're doing bla bla bla in Australia?!" I'd get "Oh, that's... good. (awkward silence) How's the weather there?". Hehehe...

I used to hate being different. Now I'm loving every single bit of it.

bits and pieces

I've been thinking recently, what am I doing with my life? I've been working for almost 2 years now with the same old boring so-called-marketing job and of course with the usual waitressing shit. I hate to admit it but I'm getting tired. What to do... getting old la can?

What do I have to show for this 2 years after graduation? In fact, what do I really have after 23 years of being alive?

I seriously can't think of anything.

But hey, things should get better right? I'm too young for a mid life crisis, if this is one, doesn't that mean that my life expectancy is only at 56 years? Gosh, I AM thinking too much...

But as clueless as I am right now, I am rather happy. I've got a "stable" job, I have the qualifications, I enjoy my bubble tea & coffee with friends, the occasional routine clubbing and hell, I've got a gorgeous girl to call mine.

I guess I just need a little more time to figure out what I can really do with myself. Too many issues at once nowadays... mainly financial issues. So many plans, so little money...

Well, life's unfair, I've already accepted that LOL.

Anyways, a little bit of advertisement here: G.rabit's new arrivals are in! New pics are at the blog, do visit it and become a fan of it on Facebook.

Yeap, I've got a little business venture going on =)

Genius Housemate?

It's a lovely Sunday morning and Sam just woke up and was making breakfast.
Here's what happened:
Me: *sees an egg in a bowl of water* "Is that a half-boiled egg?"
Sam: "No, it's a FULL-boiled egg"
Me: *blink blink* "Don't you mean HARD-boiled egg?"

XD

cruel to be kind

I actually did think a lot before I decided to write this. Because I have to consider the feelings of 2 people. 1 who is very important, the other, I really don't give a rat's arse but it will affect the one who is important.

If you really care about her, really love her like how you've said in the past, present and in the potential future, you should know how she thinks and how she feels.

You've just become insensitive and really just emotionally rash in whatever you've done. You think by sending her that sms today would make yourself feel better? I know you're now wallowing in guilt and wishing you could just crawl into a ball and die.

But then again, you could've wanted to do that just so that you MIGHT get SOME kind of attention from her.

Guess what boy, grow a pair of balls and man up. I'm more than a man than you will ever be. (Now, THAT is a personal attack direct to you.)

it's a funny thing

Everything really does happen for a reason. If there really is a God, then I finally understand why I went through the things I did.

Sometimes, God sends people who are clearly wrong for you, bad for you even. But there is always a reason behind it all. I can truly see it now.

He sent someone who was just an introduction to love for me, then there was the one who was so important that I couldn't breathe without her. And just because I couldn't breathe, He took her away to teach me that I can indeed stand on my own 2 feet. And she taught me that even if 2 people were in love, it doesn't mean that they must be together.

Then there was the one where I had to hide in the shadows with, I'm surprised I lasted that long. But I learned that I could make a difference in other people's lives and even help them to be a better person. Along came the not-right-for-you-but-you-are-just-desperate-enough-to-accept. I don't think I need to explain that now, do I?

The one who really seemed like THE ONE came along. I learned that when I am blind, I'm not only blind, but crazy even. The one who made me throw everything aside but somehow I knew it would just end. I just refused to accept it.

Then it all went downhill. I lost hope. I couldn't care anymore thus resulting in 2 disastrous ones. One worse off by a mile than the other. And I am just too tired to give anything a try anymore.

Then now.

Now.

Now I realized why I met all those people. And why I had to go through everything.

God purposely sent me all the wrong and seemed-to-be-right-but-were-wrong people because he wanted me to recognize the right one when I see her.

Guess what, she's perfect =)

if you could only see in the mirror...

...what I see.

Let me show you what I can do.

No words, no reason.

Simple silence broken by piano keys.

I will be by your side.

What have you done to me?

You've made me see...

kono sekai wa, hontou ni kirei... zembu anata no tame ni.

perfect.

Slow down girl your not going anywhere
Just wait around and see
Maybe I am much more you never know what lies ahead
I promise I can be anyone I can be anything
Just because you were hurt doesn't mean you shouldn't bleed
I can be anyone anything I promise I can be what you need.

Blur case housemate

This is what makes living with such blur housemates fun:

Sam: *knocks on my room door* Vern!
Me: *opens my room door* Yes?
Sam: Are you in the toilet? *points at the toilet door*
Me: *blink blink*

-3 seconds of silence-
Did you get it?

No?

Read it again, SLOWLY.

BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Customers Say the Darnest Things

This conversation took place while I was working. A customer walked in with her family, her husband and 2 kids.

As per normal, I greeted them and asked the first question that we're supposed to ask: "Would you like to go on the sushi train (kaiten belt/revolving conveyor belt/turn turn sushi/Japanese merry-go-round/whatever-the-fuck-you-wanna-call-dishes-going-round-and-round-on-a-moving-belt)?"

Her husband wanted to give it a try but the wife gave me a very skeptical and concerned look. And then she asked "Are the sushi fresh?"

I told her yes because it was about 6pm and the chefs were preparing the lot for the dinner crowd.

Then she added "I want really fresh sushi, like cold ones."

In my head I went "WTF?!?!?!?!?!" but my mouth just went "Huh?"

Luckily the husband came to the rescue and said "Honey, fresh sushi is warm, if it's cold it means it has been sitting in the fridge."

OMG, I tried so so so so so so so so so hard not to laugh in her face. ARE YOU STUPID WOMAN?!?!?! DO YOU KNOW HOW SUSHI IS MADE?!?!?!?!?!

HOW CAN FRESH SUSHI BE COLD!??!?!!?!

You don't exactly cook rice using a fridge, dip the nori (seaweed) into ice water and freeze every single goddamned ingredient before rolling it!!!

Yes yes, I know. I'm mean. But hey, this shows that customer service is sooooooooooooo not the field for me.

But it is funny how when a customer walks in and we start shouting "IRASHAIMASE!" ("welcome" in Japanese) and the whole restaurant staff chimes in. That's not the funny part. What's funny is that sometimes when we see that there are no Asians in the shop, one of us (usually my MANAGER) would yell out "DIU LEI LOU MOU" instead.

For those who don't know Cantonese, go ask a friend who does XD

The Impossible Has Happened?

Saw this piece of news and I'm rather shocked.

McDonalds losing a lawsuit over the use of the prefix "Mc" in MALAYSIA!

The defendant: McCurry.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Okay, am I the only one who finds this amusing?

Let me explain okay? The judge who overruled McDonalds was Judge Gopal Sri Ram. McDonalds is such a huge ass corporation that you'd they they'd try to at least bribe the judge right? But noooooooo... They lost.

And what was the defendant's defense? McCurry stands for Malaysian Chicken Curry.

ROFL!!!!! No wonder McDonalds couldn't bribe the judge, HE LOVED CURRY TOO MUCH!!!

Okay, lame, I know. Don't read this post then!

Haha! Too late! =P

MIA

Sorry I've been MIA for so long. Been rather busy with work, I'm dead exhausted by the time I'm home. Project365 can no longer carry on because I can barely lift my baby Alpha anymore =(

Anyways, to entertain you guys, I shall be blogging about my experiences working in ZushiBento Carousel.

Top 3 Things I Learned in ZB:

3. Hungry customers are not nice people. Seriously woman, if another table got up and went towards the sushi train and SAT DOWN even before I could do anything, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO??? Sure, the customers changed their mind, WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THAT?!?!?! CAN YOU TELL ME?!?!?! If that's not bad enough, the husband was complaining about waiting so long, I said there's a table ready, I just need 2 minutes to clear it and they can have it to their heart's content. OMG, JUST 2 MINUTES YOU FUCKING AUSTRALIAN RETARDED REDNECK! He just went on and on and on and on about having waited so long. Excuse me, I need 2 minutes to clean the table FOR YOU. Or if you'd rather stand there and complain to me for 2 minutes, be my guest, don't fucking blame me if someone gets the table AGAIN.

2. People in Perth don't bother reading. ESPECIALLY ASIANS! OMG, not like I don't wanna help my own race, but seriously, there's a HUGE ASS SIGN that says "PLEASE WAIT TO BE SEATED, THANK YOU". I mean, you can see that the place is already small enough, SO WHY DO YOU WANNA CROWD IN THE SMALL WALKWAY?!?!?! I know, kiasu ma...

1. Younger Asian women who appear with older Caucasian guys think that they're better than everyone else. With their branded bags and noses so high up in the air, they forget that people just see them as an Asian whore. What? I'm being mean? Come deal with one of these women THEN talk to me. Kthxbai.
I know, I'm actually ranting in this note, but hey, feels gooooooooooooooooooooooood to do so ;)

'twas a full moon last night.

Things couldn't have gotten any worse today. It was truly, truly, TRULY fucked up.

I really had a fucked up day.

But a good evening. Nothing clears my head better than to lie down & forget the world with beautiful views of the city. And not forgetting great company =)

Thanks for being there for me.




あなたにも、ありがとうね。。。

of guitars and lonely notes.

Been fiddling with my guitar more than usual. But still not to the point where my fingers bleed, they're just really really sore. LOL.

Considering getting another one, maybe an Epiphone. Yes, still in love with LP after all these years. What can I say?

Updates on Project365:

I miss this woman.

Yeap, had dinner at this Japanese place called Yoshiya in the city. Overpriced and seriously, not as good as I thought it would be. Shall stick to Matsuri next time.






Here I go again, I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today,
It's been 7 months and counting, you've moved on...
I still feel exactly the same.

anonymous numbers.

Got this idea from Facebook.

The things I want to tell a few people but do not have the guts to. I think they should know who they are.

1. You're my first love and you will always have a special place in my heart but I can't just pick up where we left off because my heart is no longer there. Even if it was, it's broken.

2. It all happened so fast and I can barely remember what happened but I'm glad we're still friends. I hope Jun Xi grows up to be a good man unlike his father.

3. You were a rebound. I'm sorry.

4. Two words, drunken mistake.

5. You didn't just break my heart, you stomped on it, spit on it and left it in a corner to be forgotten. But you taught me a lot about relationships and I want to thank you for helping make me the person I am now.

6. I think I screwed up your head and emotions a little too much but I think everything worked out fine.

7. You made me realize that I appear in people's lives for a reason and I'm glad you finally stood up and said "No" for a change. I just wished it wasn't said to me.

8. There's no reason, I just do.

Still here. Don't ever want to leave.

If I can love you this much so far away, imagine what I could be if you felt the same way =)

Project365: No.2

Been a lazy Sunday. So I just took a shot of whatever that was in my room.

Not too happy with the composition of the picture but as always, it carries a message. I doubt anyone would see it besides the ones close to me... maybe not even them.

No. 2
A hidden message or rather symbolism.

Project365: No.1

Okay, I've been wanting to try this ever since I heard of it. And since I've got a DSLR now and I really want to improve my skills, I'm starting Project365.

Here's the first picture for the project:

always Mr. Nice Guy

Can someone please teach me not to be so nice?

People tell me that I'm so nice that I get hurt all the time.

Wanna know what I think?

I don't care.

If getting hurt is what it takes to be close to you, please don't be afraid to hurt me.

I'm used to getting hurt. That's why I'm too nice. But I really don't think I'm too nice.

I just... that's just the way I am. I can't change this part of me.

So just accept me this way? Please?



Anyways... on a lighter note, I've been addicted to B&W photography since I've gotten my baby Alpha ^^ (was gonna name him? her? it? Alfie but the 13 year old dad news came up)

Here's a sample:

My baby Chivas =)

I know it's not perfect but I'm slowly improving!

I NEED MODELS! Volunteers please step up ^^

But I've got no money to pay you la... but profile pictures for you good enough? Hehehe...

My True Self

From this.

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education

You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

The right job for you:

You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:

You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.


How true is this?

You tell me ;)

need for speed.

What can I say about a group of young Aussies in a Nissan Silvia challenging me to a race?

They can't fucking drive.

If a Toyota Paseo which is only a 1.5l engine can win a sports car, it's either the ones driving the Silvia is damn fucking lousy, or the one driving the Paseo has mad skills.

What do you think?



p.s. I drive a Paseo ;)

A funny conversation

This just happened at lunch:

Me: "Your lunch smells really good. What is it?"

E: "Tuna casserole. Want some?"

Me: "I can't. Still on a vegetarian diet."

E: "So no fish?"

Me: "Nothing that breathes and moves"

E: "But plants breathe, and they grow."

Me: "Nothing that moves on its own free will"

*silence*

E: "I can't think of any vegetables that move on its own free will"

Me: "That's why it's called a vegetable"
Funny? Yes? No?

Maybe it was his facial expression that cracked me up XD

a brief update.

Can't update as much because I'm still waiting for my internet connection at the new place.

New place is huge and cool. But really empty as I do not have money for furniture... yet.

Had to deal with a few issues, regarding a certain someone. Actually there's more than 1 but hey, I'll get through this.

Did I offend anyone? Or did I do something to make someone feel as if I was referring to them?

Or did I really did just appear in your mind?

I hate myself for feeling like this.

Damn it.

Nuffnang Perth Bloggers Meet

On Wednesday, 21/01/09 I went for my first Nuffnang Event =)

You guys know how much I support Nuffnang and how excited I was when I knew Nuffnang was coming to Australia. So, when there's a Nuffnang meet in Perth, HOW CAN I NOT GO LA?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Held at the Brass Monkey Bar in Northbridge, Perth.

David, one of the local partners for Nuffnang Australia gave a short talk.

I was of course excited to meet Ming and a picture with him is a must-do.
One co-founder down, one more to go XD

From the left, William, Eugene, Me, Martyn, Mesha and 2 of the youngest bloggers at the meet (sorry I forgot your names).

I also met Bret, he's a marketing consultant here in Perth. Hope to be able to learn some stuff from him =)

I talked to alot of new people that night and had fun. Was rather nervous about going because I didn't know anyone but it turned out great.

And proof that Perth is so damn fucking small, Mesha, the first blogger I talked to at the meet is a friend's friend.

I really hope Nuffnang will have more events in Perth... it seems to be the forgotten city of Australia, we keep getting left out of everything =(

So yea, if you have a blog and you're not with Nuffnang, do sign up & join the community ^^

Roadtrip 2009!

To kick start the new year, I went on a road trip with my house mates and friends. We decided to go down south to Margaret River for the sceneries and wineries (oh, that rhymed! XD)

I know I have not updated for a while, but there's soooooooooooooooooo many pictures in this post, so please forgive me okay?

Not such a good start, got caught for speeding...

700 bucks!!! That's robbery!!! Sighz... double demerits ma...

Samantha, Keeran, Chi Chi and Ming.

I hate summer... way too many flies and they love hanging around in your face...
Stopped somewhere near the Margaret River town for a picnic lunch and flies decided to be the uninvited guests.

I find this sign very funny because it's next to the Gent's. Do you get it? Yes? No? It's okay, I can't explain. Hahaha...

The first stop in town: To get MAPS! And for accommodation, which by the way, were all full ):


This is one good way to market your product and make money. I mean, you're paying for a poster of logos of wineries while helping them to promote their products. Clever right?
Pay to work for them -____-

We stopped by this place which made handcrafts out of glass. Was interesting =)


The glass that this lady blew was so thin like plastic but breaks just like how glass does. Kinda makes me wonder what if it cut someone... that wound would be deep...

Next stop, Leuwin Estate!
Was kinda disappointed because my Tourism lecturer had praised this place so much but it was not up to expectation. Oh well...

The fly dance is the dance where you swat the flies away from your face XD

This is a nice one of all of us =)

Second winery we went to: Voyager Estate. The wines were just okay but the scenery there is beautiful!

Need I say more? XD

Perfect for weddings.
I'm very happy with how this picture turned out =)

Like I said, perfect for weddings.

Then we went to Mammoth Cave, which was such a great place to escape the heat. It was so cooling inside.

Can you see the lonely soul waiting?
There's an alien-like figure in the picture sitting alone.

The entry to the cave was 19AUD which included this MP3 player of the history of the cave for you to listen to while you walked around. Very interesting history of the cave and there were fossils in there too. But I couldn't see it clearly...

This is a slab of mineral which experienced discolouration which they called the Mammoth Shawl. There was only 1 in the whole cave.

Next stop, after trying to find accommodation in so many places, we gave up and decided to drive up North towards home. On the way we stopped at the Busselton Jetty.

It is supposed to be the longest wooden jetty in the southern hemisphere.
Can you see the end of it?

I just like this picture. No idea why =)

That's all the pictures I have of this trip. Hope you guys enjoyed the pictures, that was a really long post!



p.s. It's a new year, while it was not a pleasant ride recently,
I'm glad things are well between us. And that's all that matters.
