Its not the coffee, I’m ready to tell now…

Shivers, restless nights, mind flinging here and there and the worst, DENIAL! For the past 3 days, that was what I’ve experienced and its only now that I found the guts to write it down. I thought it was the coffee I drank. Remember my incident of drinking Coke and coffee on the same day and resulted me laying on bed the whole day? The shivering gets worst the next day. “Is this what they called depressed?”, I was thinking. Nuh… it’s the coffee. I convinced myself to sleep early and I’ll be better tomorrow. I will…

But, it was till there the day after. Worst, I even felt like going home straight away. NOW!!! And soon, I learn from Charles that I was actually, HOMESICK! In the state of denial, I told him I am NOT! But that night, I had some thoughts playing in my mind. Actually, I am! I admit now, I am homesick. I miss everyone back home, EVERY SINGLE ONE!

I haven’t laughed like a mad guy like I used to in UTP lately. I am more quite (which is not me at all) and I can’t predict the path in front of me. I am left clueless every single day. Do I need to come this far to miss my family? Do I need to come this far to learn the true meaning of friends? Or is this a punishment for me to receive for my past? I am not going anywhere further if I do not resolve this issue now. Am I strong enough? Am I ready for this change of phase in my life? Am I living a life I really wanted it to be?

Here you come

You make me waited so long. I was alone through these cold winter nights. I shiver, tremble and at times I cry. It was so cold, so cold that I wish you were here for me. And finally…
YOU ARE HERE MY SPRING!!!

That simply means off goes my thick winter clothes and long pants. Its time for T-shirts, shorts and even sandals to lecture everyday! Oh my, I love you my SPRING!!! For me and someone else (*cough * cough), it’s a beginning of a new chapter of life from here onwards. Cheers!

The Unspoken Secrets

Everyone has it. The difference is how much they wanna share it with others. I always do share with others. However it will be not a secret anymore. But then again if rules were meant to be broken, then secrets are meant to be spread. I am gonna spread a few now, like spreading the Victoria Secret’s fashion ads.

1st hush-hush
Tell me seriously, how many of you guys has a dish washer at home? Not even a handful rite? I was lucky enough that my apartment has one. The first few weeks here, I have totally no idea on how to operate it. So, I washed all my dishes manually. Then, my Korean housemate told me that he knows the way to run it. Great then! I tried one day, and guess what happened?

Am I like Paris Hilton trying to use the dish washer. Muahahaha…. =)

2nd cloak-and-dagger
You guys know how much I love to snap pictures rite? But you might not know that I love to keep funny candid pictures as well. Dah banyak dah mangsa aku dan Charlz… Here, have a look!

3rd mi mi
I always have the desire to pursue my studies in music (Jay Chao wannabe). But since PETRONAS came into my life, my ambition fades. But at least my spirit is still there. Up till now, I have composed about 3 songs (including one for Erti Merdeka TELEKOM 2003) and I still keep my wish to write a song for Jac one day. Nyeh… nyeh… nyeh… A dream too far I guess!

Posted in conjunction with Jay’s new movie, Secret aka Bu Neng Shuo De Mi Mi

I miss...

I miss my nasi lemak. That is the first thing in my mind every morning when I wake up. Not that they don't have nasi lemak here, its just different from Malaysia's! Two different extremes, way too different and what a 'cheap' price I will have to pay for it too. Because of that, I'm back with coffee. My choice, a cup of black coffee plus a spoonful of milk. I do not know what sophisticated name for it, its just coffee according to me. Nyeh... nyeh.. nyeh...

I miss my gang. Do they? At least I know Azhar & Dinesh is. So nice of them to keep me updated with what's on at UTP. Haven't heard much from the others though... I hope you guys are doing fine. Before I left, someone told me to bring all the video clips that he recorded when we were at UTP. He added that I will laugh watching through Azhar's Bloopers and our mission to hang an unclaimed underwear at Chia Ming's window. Well, I did laugh and tears followed next... Whateva I see here, it will definitely reminds me of someone; even the Street's name. Here, have a look...

I miss my motor. Walking daily is a torture for me. I've gotta walk so darn far from one class to the other. Sigh...

I miss singing along in the room with someone who appreciates the same genre of music with me. I havta sing alone like a mad guy in the room! So sad! =(

I miss having dinner with the people I respect and adore. When the clock strikes 7p.m., I still wait someone to knock on my window pane calling me for dinner.
I miss someone who could tell me to be serious in class. I miss so many many things… But, I won’t miss one thing – MY INTERNET connection at UTP! Wakaka…

I've been eating well

The first day in Adelaide, I bought for myself a loaf of raisin bread which costs me $4.50, equivalent to RM13.50. Then and there I told to myself, “Gosh, I’ll have to cook from today onwards.” And so I did.Here are my gourmet dishes with exquisite taste and super duper temping. (Jim, now my turn pulak...)

And above all, its home cooked and lots of money saved. Wanna try some? Cheers!

7-8-07

Its raining out there tonight. Perhaps, it should rain a little in my heart today. What's today’s date? 7th August 2007, exactly one month after I said goodbye to my parents and a few great friends at the Penang Airport. I could not control my tears from flowing down to my cheeks. And I still remember Mak Teh laughing at me cause she thought that I am gonna be strong and not gonna cry. Too bad, I did cry.

On the night flight to Adelaide, my heart was filled with regrets!
If just I did not take this offer.
If just I continued to study at UTP this semester.
If just I could go to Queensland instead.

The first few mornings when I woke up, I felt like reaching for my baggage and hail a bus to the airport and go home. NOW, HOME!!! But, I learn to be stronger than that! Although, I constantly dreamt about home and yes, my bed at UTP, I kept telling myself, “…its only 6 months, 6 months…”

And now, its 5 months left. I can smile from ear to ear now. To celebrate my anniversary here, I had lunch at the Mayo Café at my uni. There was this offer going on, “Tight Ass Tuesday.” Yup, ass! Lol… Here people very open one! Chicken Snitzel with Chips for $5.50.

I was more than happy and I guess I will have to appreciate each and every minute I’m on this piece of land. Cheers!

Mr. Liang goes to the beach

It was finally time for the beach, Glenleg. The visit was organized by the PETRONAS SOUTH AUSTRALIA’s Club (PETSA). We were introduced to the other scholars and yes, we had FUN! It was sunny and breezy today. What a nice day for a trip to the beach. All those scholars decided to play volley ball and Frisbees. Me? Apa lagi, photo shoot by the beach lar… Nyeh nyeh nyeh…

She sells seashells by the sea-shore…
And he sells nothing by the sea-shore…
But I saw no pretty chicks in bikinis. Never mind lo, I find my way out. Here’s what I found!

Undeniably, it was a beautiful day and I enjoyed it to the max! Living life without stress is the key to success. Every week go visit a place, and you will definitely be fit for classes. Next weekend, Port Adelaide awaits. Btw, guess what I'm gonna bring back for u guys as souvenirs. She sells seashhhhhhh.........
