So. It HAS been awhile.

this morning I have words, sentences running in my head. What am I going to write, how do I feel, or is there anything that I'd like to share. Three hours later, I still got nothing.

My one month escapade back home is now over, I am back at where I belong and life has to go on. and sometimes, life sucks. One month. reunited with some of the most important people of my life, dined in the most fantastic places, had pretty much everything that I was craving for, went to Singapore, shopped like I was gonna die tomorrow, enjoyed the luxury of driving myself around. going home usually meant having all sorts of good stuff thrown your way.

Four months I told myself, hang in there for another four months, and I'll be back to all the goodness life can offer.

For now it is all over. those nights slugging away with assignments. and those days with my body function purely on energy drinks and triple shots coffees. and those afternoons cramming every bit of information into that little brain of mine. Boy am I glad to have a temporary bid farewell to those days. 

Right now I am home. Taking time off and living the rightful life of a 21 year old woman. spending afternoons in shopping malls sipping coffee and eating cakes. travelling to neighboring countries to take advantage of end of financial year sales, savouring all the food that I have gravely missed. and not forgetting the luxury of driving a car again. ahh home, its good to be back.

not much to say bout my week cept that it was incredibly hectic and I was tired most of the time. so much to do, so much to read, so much to study for. having said that, I did have some good food over this month, and I shall share!

1. Char Kuey Teow. I missed this desperately and I just need to have a fix. I think I've mastered this dish, but dont have the right utensils. still, it tasted amazing, and I'll know what to do the next time I have a craving.

2. I shall declare that herbal chicken soup my all time favourite soup. Best to have in the recent cold, rainy nights.

3. Crispy Skin salmon. <3

4. Taro bubble tea.

5. Reese Peanut Butter chocolate. Holymoly. Discovered another sliced of heaven with this chocolate! randomly picked this up at the green grocer. and I can't wait to get MORE.

Malaysian Kitchen Insiders had a lunch & dinner food festival in one of the alleys off State theater. All you need is $10 per entry and you get 4 dishes in tasting plate size. Quite a steal. We had Satay in chicken and mutton I believe, chicken kapitan (the best of the day), nasi lemak (quite a let down), and vegetarian gado-gado(sry no pic for this one. but it was good anyway). This event is insanely popular among Malaysians in Sydney I must say. the queue was unbelievable. We did the lunch session. Satisfied. Looking forward to next week. Good job on the deco, it was dreamy.  

ohbtw. this is post #100. wohhhooo.

I'm guessing by now most of the people in Malaysia would have known about this Alviss Kong incident that cause quite a stir on Facebook and the news.

And yes. It's 4am and my brother's birthday and I am supposed to get some sleep early cuz hafta get a cake from the city tomorrow morning.

It shows how pissed off I am with this incident for me to stay up and write about it so that I can share my two cents worth of opinion.

Long story short. Alviss Kong, 22 years old decided to take his own life after breaking up with his second girlfriend of 4 months. Prior to his suicide mission, he wrote a long farewell note, devoting his last words to his second ex-girlfriend. He also told everyone his ex was not to blame for his action. His actions was merely to give himself some peace and closure, as he find nothing worthy for him in this world. More detailed news cover here and here.


what I think about this.

I do not fault his girlfriend in this incident. I do not know them personally so I am not in the position to judge what has been going on in their relationship. He took his own life. His girlfriend did not stand by him and encouraged him to jump. Obviously after getting out a relationship, there will be an emotional turmoil going on inside you. You let yourself go for a bit because you want to get those negativity out of your system as soon as possible, then pick yourself up and go on with life. Life is too short to keep dwelling on a petty four month relationship that has no way of turning back. He failed to do that and succumbed to his emotions.

He whole world was blinded. The only thing that he sees is his girlfriend, who she is everything that matters. So when his girlfriend break things off, to him, his world was taken away from him. I personally, do not feel any empathy for him, not one bit. To do what he has done is a very selfish act. The only people I feel sorry for are his parents and family. 22 years of hard work raising, educating and feeding this man, he ended up throwing his life away just because there is a hiccup in his love life. You leave this world, but you left your mess behind for the people who cares about you. You maybe resting in your coffin now, nothing to worry about. But have you ever thought about your parents, your sister, your family, your friends? How much tears and heartache for your stupidity? And the emotional scars you leave behind.

You decide to be a coward and run. But you have no idea of the damage you leave behind.

Wrapping up the month of August.


Uni started at the beginning of August. and during then. I looked forward to it. as I was just too bored with my life. and holy moly. four weeks into the semester and am I feeling the pressure. this two weeks are mainly assignments and class test period. so I guess people will be busy much. as I am one of them. typing frantically of any assignments that was thrown in my way. I don't know bout you. but ever since I started uni, I haven't really been hand-writing anything a lot. most of them are typed. now I find that it is quite difficult to read my writing because it gets so ugly. and not to mention how much my hand hurts writing under pressure. four pages worth of stuff in forty minutes.

in this month. I am also learning to open myself up to people. like being less guarded after a sip or two. but I can be under the influence all the time. or I'll have to see you in rehab. yeh. Idk. Trying to make myself to be initiative instead of sitting there and waiting around.

ALSO. I've join the Apple gang and got myself an iPhone4. It's some awesome shizzz. I'm no good with writing reviews on stuff. but yeh. judging from the hype of iPhones. you'll know how good this thing is.

been paying a bit more attention to politics and current affairs in Aussie and Malaysia too. the occurrence baffles me sometimes. racist issues, political differences, frauds and all that. the world is not such a pretty place after all.





yeh. that pretty much sums up my month. nothing fantastic. but I'm living.

another Malaysian production. yes. I am suddenly gaga over all things Malaysian.

seems interesting. the male lead is kinda cute I reckon. the female lead is pretty too. 

but mostly I'm more into the background, the cultural reflection. 

Have any one seen it?
