Bah Kut Teh

Cooked Bah Kut Teh. Color wasn't as dark as I made the to look like, but tastewise it wasn't too bad. Not herby enough though.

I'm really craving some ss14 BKT goodness. Good times.

Rain 2 nights in a row. Finally it's cooling down.

Friday Tunes: Hadouken - M.A.D.

Friday tuneage sees a comeback. I guess that's so that my blog will be updated more regularly.


Random crap from Youtube.
Music: Hadouken - M.A.D.

It's not really my usual genre of music to listen to. Quite refreshing. Check em out.

I really hate textbooks with glossy paper. It's so hard to read. Reflects light. And the paper goes weird if your fingers hold the page too long. Especially if your fingers are slighty wet or sweaty.

There are a lot of South Korean cults eh?
I was at one of their events a year ago. To think that they could have brainwashed me. *shivers*

Cheating on my Seiko?

Today wasn't the greatest of days. Why oh why did you have to drop and break on me. At least my faithful watch of 8 years still works, all it needs is a glass replacement.

I broke off the remaining glass so it can now be used, but I must remember not to touch the hands. So I'm not watchless now. I wouldn't mind cheating on my Seiko with a Omega Speedmaster though.

Extended family is bull. Some are nice. Some are just unbearable. You know who you are.

Love vs Obsession

*Warning. Metal Content. Heads up.*


Where do you draw the line? Where does the line between love and obsession stand? How does you loving someone not equate to being obsessed with someone.

I think it's simple. If you love the person and the person loves you too, then it's love. If you love the person and the person doesn't love you but you still continue to love the person, it's an obsession. Or more like it's if the love is mutual, then being obsessed is ok. But if the love is not, then being obsessed is not ok. But who am I to know?

Killswitch Engage - My Obsession
She's my addiction, withdrawals never end
The needle in my vein that I need to live
Her voice is compulsion when I call her name
Now I am burning inside an undying flame
Beautiful sleeper, know that I am watching
You can't escape me, we're bound by attraction

You will always be mine until my dying breath
Possessing my soul, you're my obsession

I can still see your eyes like burning stars
Even in your dreams we can't be torn apart

You will always be mine until my dying breath
Possessing my soul, you're my obsession
When I'm without you, I'm dying a slow death
Possessing my soul, you're my obsession

Wherever you are, I will follow
Now you know true love

Don't be afraid
We cannot be torn apart
Don't be afraid
I know I can change your heart

Out Of Control.

Story of my life. It feels like I don't know what I'm doing.

Australia's not that bad, from the mouth of a Malaysian

If you know me, you'd know that I seem to always complain about Australia and how I'd rather be in Malaysia, and trust me, I'm aware that in the process I'm annoying you. Not everyone would have the opportunity to study abroad, and I'm not being some spoilt unappreciative undeserving brat here who doesn't know how good he's got it here. There are actually things that I do like about Australia. Let me share them with you.

1. Toilet Paper
Australian toilet paper is like heavenly. It's soft to the touch, pampering your behind, and tough, doesn't tear easily. But it cost like a lot. A LOT! I remember watching on some TV show that toilet paper is one of most inflated product, ever.

2. Supermarkets
I think Australian supermarkets are nice. They have a wide range of products, cheeses, fresh foods, biscuits and such. Took down a recipe from TV? All you'd need to do now is pop into Coles or Woolworths and you'd be able to get all the ingredients you need. Well not all the time, but most of the time I reckon.

3. Produce.
There's a reason why Australian Customs are such uptight a-holes. Produce here is very fresh. Fruits, veges. Nice colour, nice texture. You'd be able to enjoy a lot of fruits that we'd have to pay lots for back home at a fraction of the price. It's still a little pricey, but I guess it's okay once in a while. But of course, you won't find your rambutans and mangosteens here. You might, but have to pay ridiculous prices, and you probably won't be able to enjoy them as coughing up that dough might leave a bad taste in your mouth.

4. Seafood
Hands down, definitely beat Malaysia, in terms of size and freshness. Expensive though, especially if you convert. Salmon, Snow Crab, Lobster, Oyster, Abalone, Prawns etc. Sure, no one will be able to cook you a nice plate of Chilli Crab here, but even steaming it is good enough, so I'm not complaining.

5. Alcohol
Need I say? Hunter Valley. Wines. Cheap. I don't drink wine though. It's also pretty easy to get alcohol here, and that's a plus. Affordable when on sale. And there's the fact that certain states in Malaysia (you know who you are) don't permit the sale of alcohol.

6. Cars and Roads
It's cheaper to get cars here as compared to Malaysia. Getting your license, now that's the harder part. But it's not that bad I reckon. Road condition's a little better than Malaysia, though some roads really need more work in Sydney. And roads jam up here too.

7. Entertainment
More options here. You can go for shows, concerts, gigs, plays, whatever. Just look in the Herald and you'd know. We won't get as many cool gigs in Malaysia, because of PAS? lol.

8. I'm sure there's more. So Malaysians in Australia, have your say. Comment. Please?

Well this sucks.

Dang. Can't believe I'm back in Canberra.

At least there's unlimited internet.

Happy Chinese Lunar New Year.

Happy Valentines Day.

Yesterday, I reached Australia. Today, I sent a friend home. Sydney International Airport, I see you too often.

God, you told me not to worry. I think you're right. Thanks.

My days are so limited now. The thought of going back to Canberra leaves me with mixed feelings. It means being away from family and close friends (though I do have friends in Canberra too). And there's also...

However I do look forward to the year ahead. With studies and CIF and OCF, I can't help but feel optimistic. I am really excited to know what God has planned for this year. I just hope I'd be ready to move alongside.

OK enough Christian-y monologues.

Hoping to live a distraction-free final year in Canberra. Then we'll see where we go from there...

Living in the moment, appreciating every minute.

Leaving church, Mono's Silent Flight, Sleeping Dawn played on the radio. I pictured a scene, in the frame there's the man behind the wheel, and it's fixed on him from the perspective of someone looking standing in front of the car as he's driving on. The frames of this scene are a bit accelerated, like someone's fast forwarding a tape, but not that fast. He's crying as he drives. In the end, he dies. I can't decide between either him crashing or driving into the sea.

I must say, I've been feeling very restless and frustrated of late. Aggression and sorrow is being pent up. I get more agitated and have the tendency to curse under my breath as I am constantly reminded day after day the reality of it all. I really wanted to beat someone up today, and in church to boot. God help me (or him, if I do suddenly snap and go Hulk on the douche.)

I'm aware that this post probably doesn't benefit me in anyway, and probably will lead the people around me to not think of me as well as I'd hope they would.

!@#$%^&

Merry Christmas!
