Trust, it has always been an issue for me when it comes to being in a relationship. The track record shows it all, that all these while I've always only been in a one-sided love affair; that all these while I have never fully had someone's heart; that there's always someone else. And its always me finding out about it but looking for another excuse to let it slip away when they call for an end.

But this time though it was a rough start, I have a feeling that it wont be the same again.

Thank You, P.

of change growing..

verb (used with object)

to make the form, nature, content, future course, etc., of(something) different from what it is or from what it wouldbe if left alone: to change one's name; to change one's opinion; to change the course of history.

to transform or convert (usually followed by into): The witch changed the prince into a toad.

to substitute another or others for; exchange for something else, usually of the same kind: She changed her shoes whenshe got home from the office.

to give and take reciprocally; interchange: to change places with someone.

to transfer from one (conveyance) to another: You'll have to change planes in Chicago.

We can look at change at so many ways. Based on perception, there is no right or wrong to how one choose to look at it. As for me, I look as change (for the better) as growth.

Everyone has their moments of growing up. Whether it be physically or even mentally. I always see growing up as something very positive. Not just because Im short and thats why growing ~~vertically~~ is of course a wonderful thing. But because as we grow, we get to see things in a much bigger picture, we get to see things more clearly, we do things with more sense and more consideration. Yes, it sounds oh so complicated. But thats what growing is all about. Thats for me at least.

Growing, learning. It doesnt happen if you just sit there and wait. You learn and grow from an incident, from a lesson, or from a person. Not knowing that you have so much more to grow, might save u the hardship of going through the whole process. But that makes you one step less from being more than what you can be.

of a phase...

2011-10-21T02:24:00.000+11:00

This, phase, has already brought me nothing but feel crap about myself.

And if it were to be a catalyst to lose what I treasure so much now, I dont know how am I to live through that. Just thinking about it now is killing me already, of losing what I ~~foolishly~~ unknowingly got.

Of something quite interesting..

2011-08-08T22:49:00.000+10:00

Ive been approached to take up something that seems to be very heavy, or so I fell it is. The idea was presented of not the most ideal way but nonetheless very tempting. Something that has never crossed my wildest dreams. It was offered with good faith that I will be able to take that role. But very likely, I'll be accepting what's been put on the table. Not for the glitz and glamour, but for a purpose, to finally put what Ive learnt so far to use; to finally be in the hot seat and being able to overcome what it brings; and finally to make myself feel, confident.

This opportunity didnt come by just because, it was based on the track record that Ive long achieved from a place which I believe is still an incredible stepping stone for many. A place where I practically spent my teenhood growing up. A place where my life took its ultimate turning point. A place where I'd stil go for refuge, for guidance, for warmth, for comfort, for love. A place where many years back, till now, I will feel safe outside my home. I thank the people who helped mould what is of me now. The falls Ive gone through and the leaps I took, there isnt any one that I'd turn back to and regret, as it has made me, me today.

Even if this might just be a plan, or just a proposal, but the faith that has been rested in me, is already rewarding enough to know that I am not just another guy, but rather, one who people can trust and count on. Im quite contented with that, already.

Hello Readers, (if there's still any)

I havent been posting much on this blog because I now have another one where I post my photos.

Its been a new found love for it kinda makes most of my days here in Melbourne knowing the interest i take in is being appreciated by people of the world wide web. Do follow for I have been updating it quite frequently and it somewhat shows what Im doing day by day. They say a picture says a thousand words, so I hope mine will too, telling the stories and lives of the subject in that tiny frame.

of Winter so cold and yet so warm - DAY 1

2011-07-13T19:42:00.001+10:00

One morning I woke up during SWOT-VAC (study without teaching vacation), and I thought to myself, I need a holiday, a getaway from all this sleepless nights, taxing semester buried with work and stress. So the first thing that came to mind was a week's off from work at both jobs and probably a road trip or two with Blair. The big question was, WITH WHO? Going through my contact list, I couldnt make up my mind with who I should plan this getaway with.

Later that day at work, I received an email on my BB. Usually I wont be any keen on reading mails at work, but it came from a certain someone with the subject: "Melb". I excused myself to the back and read it right away. It says:

"Would you be kind enough to host me from 29-th June till about 9th July...? :)".

One of the greatest line of words put together I've ever come across! It really was like god-sent. I was super ecstatic. So from then on, emails were travelling back and forth umpama cendawan selepas hujan planning out what and where we can go for the 10 days.

For almost a month I was looking forward to the day I'd pick her up at the airport. It was one of the foggiest days I've ever experience having been in Melbourne for almost a year. So there I went4 to the airport with the excitement of a kid. Thinking to myself, whatever that I planned out, wherever we go or do, its gonna be the best 10 days of my life.

After picking her up, out of a sudden, it was like winter turned to summer. The sun came out and Im pretty sure there was a rainbow somewhere. The weather was marvelous for the first half of the ten days.

Came back to my place to drop the luggage and off we went on foot to discover the great Melbourne city. I made it a point that we were gonna discover cafes that are mentioned on blogs and also Urbanspoon. So to kickstart our little adventure we went to a place called Hardware Societe. I thought it was gonna be rather secluded as Ive never heard of the place before but it was a full-house during brunch! Here's some pictures we took to tingle your taste buds.

Tal's Hot Chocolate

My Latte

My Bircher

Tal's PWT Baguette

The happy kid

Yes, if you hadn't noticed the someone that I was so excited to host was non-other than Crystal Chow!!

After brunch we took a nice long walk to the centre of it all, Melbourne Central. This is a shot of the infamous shot tower.

Melbourne Central

Tal with the big clock

The next stop was at the Victoria State Library and out of nowhere, "Beware The Rhino" was there. We decided to take a picture wit it just because and without knowing, we actually submitted ourselves in the running to ~~ride the rhino~~ win an iPad2! We even got ourselves new ~~pajamas~~ I <3 Trams t-shirts!

Our picture with the Rhino

Tal's in awe of how epic the LaTrobe reading was

In front of the State Library

Later I took her to the Unis that were in the city. RMIT of course to start with. There's nothing much to show since our campus IS the city itself. We then head to Melbourne Uni and swung by Trinity College.

Us in Trinity College

One thing I like/love about Melbourne is how artsy the whole place is, from awesome lanes of grafitis, to random statues along the streets, to a random giant purse on Bourke St.

After a long walk it was already time for the sun to give way. We then head to Federation Square and then down by the Yarra River where I'd used to end some of my days in the first semester.

Us at Federation Square.

The FREE t-shirt we got

We stopped by at Mekong for fur before going home to freshen up after it got dark. The plan for the night was non other than bubble tea with TekYit, WeiNian, Alicia, Aaron and Siew Hong.

Tekyit and Tal at Fed Square

That was the first time I saw the real side of Alicia and how she can make you ROFLMAO. The whole bunch then walked along Yarra River and we ended up at Crowns where Wei Nian was so excited to show Crystal the fire that'll go off every hour. Here's a clip on his big epic fail.

Of going green..

2011-04-22T22:32:00.004+10:00

Lately, I've been so drowned with work and assignments and studying for Mid-Terms and preparing for the International Varsity Games (IVG) organized by MASCA (Malaysian Association) till I had hardly time to take a breather. Mainly the killer is work since I started with the supper shift at Old Town Kopitiam. Working from 12am-6:30am bringing food to drunktards after they finish clubbing and also cleaning u after them, is hell.

Though its killing me, but I dont think I'll give it up, or not just yet. Just last week, I just had my wages raised at both the places I'm working. Though not much at Shuji Sushi, and a little more only at OldTown, but I'm really embracing the fact that my work is not going unappreciated or unnoticed.

Working in the F&B field, you're bound to get the funniest comments/replies/requests you'd ever see or hear. One of the most annoying one and the most common is when I'm working at Shuji Sushi where I get Mainland Chinese coming in to the shop.

Me: "Hi how are you?"

Customer: "I want a Teriyaki Chicken Roll please."

Me: "One Teriyaki Chicken Roll, anything else?"

Customer: "......"

Me: "Would you like that to have here or take away?"

Customer: "Yes."

Me: "Sorry, have here or take away?"

Customer: "Yes."

Me: *#$(*&^%*

But all in all, I'm enjoying the whole experience, earning those $ to pay off for my new toy, who I've yet to name. Yes, I just got myself a new toy! Well, since my Compaq finally took its last bow somewhere last week, I got my hands on the new early 2011 Macbook Pro! Owh yeah bayby! Finally after a few false alarm from the Compaq. Got the 13'' one with i5. Loving how you can swish and swoosh your windows on a Mac. And the backlit keyboard?! ftw! Still got alot to learn how to use the Mac though. Any one who's kind enough to give me tutorials?

My Mac in the dark. <3

The Apple Banana Crumble ShuHua made as my bday cake. Orgasmic!

So other than getting the Mac, another change recently would be how I went GREEN. So I turned 20 last week and the basketball gang and their GFs got me a new pair of shoes from Puma and also... GREEN HAIR DYE!! So I just bleached my hair two days ago and finally dyed it with the hair dye they bought me. Its just semi-permanent though. So it fades as you wash your hair. Still looks cool though! Here's how it looks like. Style is inspired by Victor Kim.

Took it while I was on my way to work. Have to clock in again in another 45 mins. Mid-night shift, and its Good Friday! God help us.

till my next post, Happy Easter!

2011-04-12T21:49:00.003+10:00

So its been ages since I've updated Baaaaym. Would like to apologise to those who constantly drop by for a check. Havent really found anything significant to blog about, most of my updates are up on Twitter and pictures taken with Blair are up Facebook. Am hoping this would be a post that'll get the ball rolling again.

So, turning 20, the leap from teenhood to manhood. Feels like a whole load just got piled up on my shoulders. All these 20 years, I've gone through so much, falling and standing up again; people I loved and lost. All these made me what I am and soon will become one day. At times I'd feel like I could just go back in time and change some of the chapters, but thinking it through, I wouldnt have lived my life any other way.

So this post goes to all those that played a part of my life. Thank you all so much for being there for me through thick and thin, ups and downs. Love you all heaps!

Dayuummm,

It's December already..

It feels like just yesterday I arrived in Melbourne and was in disbelief while walking down Swanston Street sesat-ed.. And today it's already 5-6 months I've been here.. 2 months going into working at Shuji Sushi.. Few KGs gained since I weighed myself during the medical checkup back in Msia.. (Of course the weight gained now is all good)

Today at lunch with Ellya and Bernard, we were just talking bout how the year's coming to an end.. And out of nowhere "OMG Jem, you wont be a teenager anymore!?!"

Hmmm, makes me think, was this phase of my life well spent? Two words;

Hell Yeah!!

I wouldnt trade anything I went through with anything else. The ups and downs I went through with family and friends. Lessons I learnt. ~~Friends~~ Kalyana Mitras I got to know to share the ride on the rollercoaster we all know, life. Moments where I hated life so much to the moments where I feel I wanna just freeze that specific moment forever.

Though I've been through so much, I know, it's just the start of a journey of many more love/hate, hot/cold, high/low.

But I know, with the foundation built and the ability to differentiate what's wrong or right, smart or stupid, yes or no.. The rest of this journey will be another hell of a ride.

Of a dumb customer..

2010-11-16T00:02:00.003+11:00

Just a random but rather moving event for me..

Was working one day in Shuji Sushi during the ~~crazy~~ daily lunch hour. An Indian guy came in the shop and he was standing a distance from the counter for quite some time. After a while, he stepped up to the counter and I acknowledge him like how I do with the other customers. "Hi, how are you?". He just kept quiet and signaled me to get him writing materials. I was puzzled. So I just did as he said, not knowing, he was dumb.

He took the pen and started writing on the pieces of paper I got him over the counter. The first one says:

Because we dont have our own toilet in the shop, I had to direct him to the toilet available across the street at the city library. So he went out of the shop and crossed the street to the other side, either my instructions werent that clear or his understanding of English wasnt that good, he went on walking along the street and passed the library. So I thought that was the end of it.

Moments later, he came back and I was relieved. He walked over to the Baine Marie counter and wrote again on the piece of paper I gave him earlier. He writes:

Pointing at the Okonomiyaki aka Japanese Pancake.

I said Japanese Pancake and he didnt seem to understand me, but he nodded anyways. Then he asked:

"No pork?"

Then I nodded. At this time, my colleagues were all confused thinking what was I doing passing notes with the Indian man.

He then walked over to the sushi rolls counter and pointed at the Cooked Tuna rolls indicating he wants two of it.

Finally, he asked how much it all cost by showing me the money sign with his hands. To make it easy and prevent any misunderstanding, I just wrote it down:

So that was my encounter with a dumb person..

Of plans for the next few months..

2010-11-14T19:12:00.005+11:00

So the holidays began last Friday after I sat for my last paper for my Finals for my 1st semester in RMIT, Melbourne. Right after I exit the exam hall, it felt kinda surreal. The thought that I'll be on ~~vacation~~ holidays for 4 months (November2010-March2011), phoah.. It's no difference than being going for a vacation overseas for 4 friggin months! Like, what the hell am I gonna do for that long??

Lucky enough I have a job, or staying back instead of going back to Malaysia would be a ~~stupid idea~~ big waste of money. (Salary's able to cover rent + expenses + occasional shopping) *wink* First week of holiday, I've already worked 8 days in a row!! It would've went on if I didnt ask for a break today.

Was supposed to go to the Melbourne Zoo with Bernard and some foundation students but the weather's been gloomy this weekend; which is good cause it was HAWT during the week!

Anyways, I didnt wanna waste this 4 months by just working and bumming around. Somehow I'd like to make the best out of it. But I dont really have anything in mind.

Ideas, dear readers?

I started a "One verse A Day" every night where I'll read one verse from the small Dhammapada booklet I got from KokSing, JinHwa & OiYing as a farewell gift. With this at least I know I'm still close to continuing my journey in Dhamma knowledge attainment and my spiritual side. That reminds me, I gotta look for a Dhamma youth group somewhere around here. Hmmmmm..

I'll be posting each verse I read on my Tumblr.

Another item on my "list" would be exercise. Havnt been losing that much sweat since I came over. Other than when I play basketball with the guys of course. Managed to have a few sweat sessions with jogs by the river since the holidays started. Quote "serenity with a touch of bliss" by @isawshereen. Indeed..

What else?

Planning to give Xueli a visit for Christmas and New Years since she says there's gonna be a coolio music event going on over at Gold Coast in January. Probably consider giving Juliet a visit too over at Tasmania one of these weeks. Where else?

Anything or anywhere I should go/achieve during these months?

A story that worth too much for a tweet..

You know those supervisors when you work in a restaurant? Those kind when they come in and you just pick up a piece of cloth and start wiping anything you can find? Yeaps, we have one where I work. She's Korean and she's somewhere in her 20's. I'd say.. she's attractive.

Okay, story is, I was scheduled in to work today for closing. So I was refilling the drinks in the fridge and the supervisor, Eva, came to the fridge and opened it to get a drink. She looked at me and:

Eva: "Do you have a motorbike?"

Jem: "Errr.. no?"

Eva: "Owh, cause your hair looks like you're a biker."

(She complimented my hair when she interviewed me last month and a few days back saying it's funky)

Jem: "Owhhh.. haha.. Thanks.."

So I thought that was the end of the conversation, *relieved, then out of nowhere the unthinkable:

Eva: "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Jem: "Hahaha, I wish I had one!"

What came next shocked me till I couldn't say a thing...

Eva: "How bout me?"

I was stunned-shocked, and just went "hehehehe..." and walked off..

Eva: "Why you laughing? Is there anything wrong with me?"

The End...

I really think it's the hairstyle.. Gotta thank TaeYang.. ;)

Of Visit from a Dear Friend..

2010-10-04T00:16:00.006+11:00

So last week was the Australian Football League Grand Finals where Collingwood Magpies were up against the St Kilda Saints. It was said that it's been awhile or even the first time both Melbourne teams are in the Finals so YEAY! Went to Federation Square which was near my house to watch the match.. PACKED AS HELL yo the place!! With scarfs of black and white & red black and white.. The match was really good and kinda enjoyed myself despite the fact I went thr alone and watched the whole match around strangers.. Still seeing the fans jump and shout and jump on trash cans.. *thumbs up*

After the match I promised Hommies (hsemates) I'd make pizza for dinner so I did! FROM SCRATCH.. Owwwwh Yeaaah.. Awesome like that.. ;)

Epically fail housemate - Marc thought I bought the base and started comparing the base with pizzas we can get from restaurants and says those are better and went on commenting on it till we stopped him and told him "Err.. I made from base.. and thank you.."

Later that week was when a dear friend from Msia who came to visit! Shauna Chow!!

He landed on Tuesday and I spent most of my week over at Emily's where Shaun was staying.. One of the nights when we decided to go out for dinner, Me + Shaun + Ellya + Bernard planned to take the tram out to KFC for dinner.. While walking to the tram stop:

Bernard stopped us and pointed on the floor

Jem bends down and pick up what can be seen as CASH

Jem: "Guys, dinner tonight is free and we are RICH!!!"

What happened was we found $110 on the floor!!! wooohoooo!!

So we made our way to KFC and had dinner courtesy of fate and luck.. ;)

It was rather a good dinner not just the fact we had free dinner but we also managed to get to know more about each other.. Well, more for Shaun getting to know the twins but it was all good.. With moments where me and Ell look at each other and raise our shoulders when the guys were talking bout their computer games; to moments where we talked about relationships.. jolly sweet times.. ;)

On Saturday Emily decided to bring all of us to Werribee Park for one of Shaun's last days here in Aussie.. It's my first time there as well and boy o boy when I say the previous owner of the land/mansion was rich, I'm not even kidding!

Captions of pics below tells more:

This was when we were playing in the ~~Big ass~~ park outside the mansion and where Bernard and Shaun piled on me.. grrr

Here's one of the hallways of the Mansion..

2010-09-25T13:11:00.004+10:00

So on Wednesday was where we ~~Cinas~~ celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival a.k.a Lantern Festival a.k.a Mooncake festival.. WeiNian finally got rid of the bed in his living room (which I'm sleeping on at the moment) so he decided to have a "House Warming" since he havent had a party in his place before and since he has the Wii at his place, why not??

So that night we all gathered there and started partying with the Wii and mahjong with chips.. Suddenly we all heard a furious knock on the door and it was the management of the building saying we're making too much noise.. Yes, potong steam much! Eventually we decided to bring the party over to Raymond's place instead since tht's whr they normally have their parties and gatherings.. So off we go with the whole Wii Rock Band equipments (Mic, Guitar, Drums) and the Mahjong..

So the REAL party started at Raymond's place.. We started rocking the Wii.. And BAAAAAYM i so rocked the guitar yo!!! Pics below are some from many of it from the party: more at http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=229225&id=607401804&page=3

2010-09-02T22:50:00.005+10:00

So this has been an interesting and awesome-ful ~~going to end soon~~ holiday week so far..

Let's start off with Candy's visit. She came over for her sis's convo and we (me, Lucas and Candy) managed to meet up and did ~~a little~~ catch up.

On Sunday while waiting for the tram on Bourke st for the weekly basketball session, out of nowhere there was this ~~huge ass~~ parade of lion dance along Swanston. Okay, I know Aussie's like 2 hrs earlier than Msia but CNY in August??

Then the highlight of the week, MERDEKA CELEBRATION at The Billboard with DJ Fuzz and Mizz Nina! The party was.. BAAAAYM! Lucas tagged along and Candy joined later with her sis. Was an awesome night and got home bout 4am. *thumbs up*

The next morning I was walking around the city to look for a charger for my ~~stoooopid asss~~ laptop which is sorta dodgy. I've to like shake it a little and then it works. Once I got on Swanston, I realized that the tents set up for the MSFW was filled with humans. So I kepoh sikit la go take a peep. I tell you, Nothing beats seeing models in their PJs ONLY first thing in the morning.. ;)

And what beats models in their PJs first thing in the morning? BANANAS in Pajamas!!! My life.. complete..

Last night we had our first house party here at home with a few friends over like Robbee, Joshua, Janice, Elaine and Janice. Had an AWESOME potluck dinner with herbal chicken + Shepherd's Pie courtesy of Joshua, Roasted chicken with Perinaise sauce courtesy of Janice, Spaghetti Cabonara courtesy of Elaine, and 2 Choc on Choc cake + Lemon cheese cake courtesy of the hosts. Robbee of course brought booze. Everyone left at about 12ish.

After cleaning up and chilling and mandi-ing. Me, Happie and Cheah Loong were in the living room just having a chat cause we coudlnt really sleep (2am). We were planning to go jogging the next morning. Then the most random thought came to mind: "Let's go jog NOW". Baaaaaymmm!! Being the crazy housemates we are, we changed and got our asses on the streets and jogged along the river. Syokness of running in my shorts at 2am in winter is indescribable yo!

There were trees along the river while we jogged. So.. guess what? PANJAT la!

Us on the bridge over the river..

The view of the city over the river.. *thumbs up* Camera quality not good enough to get it but took anyways..

My crazy hsemates.. ("daddy" was sleeping at home")

Another 3 days till the week's over and I'll be starting class again + work at Shuji Sushi. Fingers crossed I'll get awesome work schedule with Jamie coming over next week and the shopping spree begins!

2010-08-31T11:49:00.002+10:00

Manager from Flinders Lane called and from next week onwards, I'll be working in Shuji Sushi!

Baaaaaaaym!

Of updates!

2010-08-30T14:15:00.006+10:00

So it's been about two months now I've been in Melb.

Cliche:

Question: "How's it over there?"

Answer:"Settling down just fine.. Getting used to the weather (prefer it better than the humid+hot+sweaty weather back home)"

So yeah.. Within this two months I've been adapting well with the weather ~~till i can wear shorts and slippers out on a winter's day~~. I've also moved in to my new house together with Marc, Happie, and Cheah Loong! Lovin it very much here where it feels so much more homey and who wouldnt love staying in a house full of whacky people?! Baking whatnots every week, playing Blackjack whenever you're bored, learning Mahjong and winning the people who taught you how to play it, trips to DFOs and snugglin on the sofa/bed and watching movies every other night! (P.s We need more movies!!!)

For the past month many happened.. For starters was what mentioned above, I moved in to my new place.. I also applied for like.. countless job openings and only managed to get ONE who called back for an interview.. It's a sushi place called Shuji Sushi.. They said they'd call me back to let me know when and where I'll start work but so far.. no news yet.. :( Really looking forward for a job so I can start spending $1 to $1 rather than $1 to RM 2.8.. Can cry when you have a meal of Fried Rice for $10!!! RM 28 DEIH!!!

Shuji Sushi

It's the first Monday of my one week holiday today.. Chick vs Dick was my lifeline so far since holiday started last Friday.. The week is filled with awesome plans though.. It's Merdeka eve today!! Gonna be celebrating it with DJ Fuzz and Miss Nina @ Billboard tonight.. *thumbs up* On Tuesday it's dinner/movie with WeiNian and the rest of the gang.. Wednesday is the "Ane Barber 1st House Party" where we have our close Msian friends over to our place (Ane Barber cause.. Marc cut mine and CheahLoong's hair) for a potluck dinner.. Thursday it's bball with WeiNian and the gang again.. That's all the plans for now.. Hope ShujiSushi calls back soon with good news and my shifts doesnt clash with the plans I have.. :S

KayKay and Paul from Chick vs Dick *thumbs up*

Merdeka countdown celebration with Mizz Nina (She sang What You Waiting For with Colby O'Donnis) and Dj Fuzz.

Gonna have my lunch now.. tata!

Happy Merdeka!!!

Of the land down under..

2010-08-11T11:49:00.004+10:00

G'day mates!

Ahhhh.. Been so long since I updated.. Anyways, For the benefit of those who still dont know (wtf??), I'm all the way at the "Land Down Under"! Yesh, been in Melbourne for over a month now..

Just a brief update on what's going on..

Studies:

I'm doing my Bachelor of Business Degree in International Business at RMIT, Melbourne!

Assignments and tests has already started as I'm now going into my 4th week here in Uni.. Have no idea how I'm gonna start those assignments but I'd better get help soon.. :O

Accommodation:

My current room is not bad and it's enough.. for survival.. Got a reasonably sized room to myself and share the other facilities like kitchen and bathroom with 4 other housemates (Though I dont see them much since they hide themselves in their rooms)..

My room

BUT, I fortunately managed to find myself a better offer from WeiNian when he offered me to move in with him and TekYit at their place! It's definitely cheaper since we'll be sharing the rent, I'd have internet (essential), and it'll be relatively nearer to Uni compared to my current room.. Downside is that I'll be sleeping in the living room (which has a bed).. Another offer came by when Marc, Happie and CheahLoong offered me to move in with them! It's really an awesome place and it's a 5-10mins walk to Uni!

price if relatively the same to what WeiNian offered but I get to sleep in a room (which mother prefers).. So now, fingers crossed that the person who's ineterested in moving into my current room is confirmed then I'll be able to move out!

Friends:

Well, I was lonely.. only for the first hour since I touched down! ngehehe.. I'd consider myself lucky for having awesome people here to accommodate me.. People like WeiNian who brought me out for my first lunch here; Lucas who let me stay over the first night I was here;

Here's sexy Lucas..

and I cant thank Ellya and Emily enough for bringing me around to meet their friends and family

(Uncle Victor and his family was also awesome!) and also awesome food! Not to mention letting me go over to their new humble abode every other day for home cooked dinner and sleepovers!

But of course nothing comes free.. :P

Uncle Victor and family

Pongteh pongteh

Yes, nothing comes free..

The amount of love I tell you.. Fuuuuish!

Managed to make new friends as well amongst my course-mates.. David, Angel, Lily, David's friend, Wesley, Kevin and many more..

So as you can see, I've been settling down just fine here.. Hoping to get a job soon though! Fingers crossed again.. :S

Friends and family back home, missing you loads..

Love,

Jem

Of a song called Superman..

2010-08-07T17:06:00.002+10:00

There are no words, to paint a picture of you girl

Your eyes, those curves, it's like you're from some other world

You walk my way, oh god it's so frustrating.

So why do I disappear when you come near,

It makes me feel so small,

Why do I blow my lines, most every time,

It's like I got no chance at all,

If I could be your superman,

I'd fly you to the stars and back again.

Cos everytime you touched my hand,

You feel my powers running through your veins

But I can only write this song,

And tell you that I'm not that strong.

Cos I'm no superman, I hope you like me as I am.

It aint no lie, I have to tell you how I feel,

But each time, I try it gets a little more unreal,

You say my name, oh god I can't stop shaking,

So why do I disappear when you come near,

It makes me feel so small,

If I could read your mind,

Girl would I find, any trace of me at all.

If I could be your superman,

I'd fly you to the stars and back again.

Cos everytime you touched my hand,

You feel my powers running through your veins

But I can only write this song,

And tell you that I'm not that strong.

Cos I'm no superman, I hope you like me as I am

A recording me and Shaun did over at his place..

Shaun is a very talented lad.. (and very much single and available)

Getting to meet people like him and others was certainly no coincidence.. It was a blessing..

And I cant thank them enough for shining with me along the path of this friendship that we have..

Saturday, 17th April 2010

Went out with Fuuhh for lunch before picking the rest up for ~~Helena's initial~~"My"and Charissa's birthday celebration. We went over to the Curve as planned to catch a movie. You should see/hear how they decided which movie to watch. Brutal! Anyways, we ended up watchin When in Rome starring ~~the hot~~ Josh Duhamel and Kristen Bell. Guess it's not a bad movie considering I think i watched it with the right person? Hmmm.. One of us of course took the movie the other way.. Hang in there Lawerdo! ;) So the night ended when i had to send them home one by one. Pimp no? :P

7/10

Owh, I got to know Darren and Nic too!

Lunch date! ;)

Notice the bag I'm holding? There's a coolio shirt they gave me for me Birthday. Thanks ya'll! xoxo

Sunday, 18th April 2010

It was a day filled with A.W.E.S.O.M.E! It was SMKSU's Sports Day @ MPSJ that morning, so I drove sis, bro and Char over and stayed to watch the whole event. Was sesat-er than Saturday cuz I was there early and people I knew was still sleeping when I called them. But Jas and Char was there already so yea it wasnt that bad. Fuuhh was sweet enough to teman me despite busy selling her coloured drinks! Sung, WeiShen, and YingHao was there too a little later after that! we were saying the marching standard has really gone down compared to the past years.. *shakes head* So later some sprinting events, I went over to the Interact store to ~~help out~~ stand around. Got some nice pics from there and also a nice burn. *psssss* Had to leave early around 1pm cause Jamie was already heading over to the house to pick me up for the Sound of Compassion concert rehearsals. Here are a few of the pics from Sports Day! More in my Facebook.

A very yeng picture of John

The coolio Alumni that attended Sports Day

The Drinks before it's filled... icy coolio

My sis's the Ratu for Hang Tuah!! *proud*

The "unlike my year" marching... ;)

Reached Sentul in about half an hour and got there the same time as BISDS. Just before we rehearsed, Simon poked my stomach and started runnning so I chased him! We ran all over the stage and he jumped a few flights of steps and tripped over the "Suei" carpet and fell dramatically! Evryone was asking what happened so I decided to reenact the whole fall. Again, pics are on my Facebook. Rehearsals for us sounded messy so some of us panic dah. LOL! took a nap while waiting for the show to begin and somone got a really nice shot of it! The event started right on time and it looked to turn int o a bug success! Back stage we were all having fun singing to songs from MJ to some pieces from iGemz to Jason Mraz. Coolio no? Just before the performance most of us were really nervous but once we took the stage, it was uber-awesome fantastic-wth-omg-this-is-it!!! It was so fun being on stage that we felt it was shortlived. :( It's ok, next one in BANGKOK!!! The night ended with a blast when all the performers took the stage and sang Heal The World since it was a Haiti Relief Fund event. From the faces I see, I could bet with you that we had the time of our lives!!

The reenact of Simon's fall..

See those shimmery costumes...

That was how I spent my first weekend after UFP.. ;)

Of getting wet in boxers when you turn19..

2010-04-17T03:48:00.006+10:00

Readers,

Remember when i was ranting/complaining bout having to study on my Birthday? And that i'm not expecting anything? ngehehe.. Here's what happened when the clock struck 12:00am on 12th April 2010..

My sis came in the room while I was in my room ~~on9-ing~~ studying for the finals, "Ko, mummy got something to tell you.." I smiled to myself, here we go!! Once I stepped out of the room, I saw bro at the corner of my eye ready with a piece of cloth and the next thing you know he covered my head with it.. Then, I felt 3-4 people holding me.. While I describe how I was feeling under those sheets, here's what happened:

While walking I started hearing people talking.. And it sounded rather familiar so I roughly had an idea who they were so I went "OMG, I'm in my BOXERS!!!!!"

Then I could hear them giggling and I knew pictures were being taken cuz I could see the flash.. *chi-chak*! I should've posed man.. :P

Unexpectedly they took me all the way out of my house onto the tar road! Reminder: I'm in my boxers, outside my house with people taking pictures of me at 12:00am!!

Once they counted 1..2..3.. I expected whipped cream again.. but..

*SPLASH!!!!!*

*Splashie*

Wet wet wet.. omg.. I'm in my boxers and i'm all wet outside my house with 10+ people looking at me!!

Okay, I swore there were about 5-6 pails before i took out the sheets and the last one came after I took out the sheets..

Yes.. Very Wet.. Not very cold.. Thank goodness!!

Then.. "Happy birthday to you..."

*pheeeew*

Cake!!! *slrrrrp*

Yes, so after that I went up to change into dry-er clothes.. And just when I came down.. -.-" Here we go again.. Cake in your face time!

Look ma! No hands!!

Yesh, so that was how the day started!

Here, I'd lke to thank all those that wished me days earlier, hours earlier, on time, and late.. :) Whevener it was, I really appreciate it alot.. Love you all!! This year round I was touched in the many ways my friends resorted to wish me.. Lucas Tan recorded a video of himself and posted it on FB wishing me; Shou Yee texted me all the way from the land down under; Emily and Eric dedicated their PM to me in MSN; P'Fern wrote it on her name in MSN! ; Juliet called me from Aussie! ; Not forgetting those who SMS-ed me when it was 12:00am ; The hundreds of wishes on my FB wall (which I replied almost ALL of them) ; the wishes face-to-face in college ; Bryan Lee who shouted from the car when he passed by and MANY more.. Sorry if I forgotten how other special ways did you wish me but it was all very thoughtful and much appreciated.. :)

Gifts I received also sent me top of the world! I got the capo I wanted, the headphones I wanted, Facial cleanser(S) (Is there something wrong with my face that I've received 2 sets of facial cleansers this week?), a Topman shirt.. Lovin them all loads!!

Once again I cant mention how fortunate I am having friends and family like the ones I have.. Love'em all!!!!

But! The celebrations has just started! we'll see what tomorrow brings.. ;)

Thanks buttie!!!

Love ya.. ;)

Of what happens next...

2010-04-16T04:33:00.002+10:00

So in another 8hrs plus will be the end of my University Foundation Program in Metropolitan.. Of course it'll also be the end of my finals (Which i'm totally still not ready at the moment and I dont know why I'm blogging).. Priority imbalanced much?

Anyways, I'm finally finishing college!! Accomplishments? Much.. But still I felt the years in school were still much more enjoyable.. This one year has been full of ~~unwanted~~ drama.. Like seriously, FML? Okay, some might say who am I to rant compared to their lives, but hey! Lemme be will ya? ;P

My circle of friends has certainly spread wide across the globe, well, ASEAN at least.. Others back in Msia, some went off to move on in their lives, some stayed and we built much stronger bonds, some renewed, some expired.. Well, I guess that's life huh? Nothing permanent.. sound so wise.. -.-"

So, to the big question.. What happens next after this? There's nothing certain yet.. Means, I could just stop studying and open like some chicken rice shop.. Okay totally random and wont happen okay.. So for those who went wtf, u can close ur opened jaws.. That reminds me, does anyone even reads my posts? I know for sure someone who does.. I think.. Fuuuhhh! U there? lol!

So yea, my future is totally uncertain after tomorrow.. Degree, okay.. What? Accounting! Do i look like an accountant? answer in my cbox! hehe.. Where? I'm seeing Monash.. Hope my results will be good enough to get me in.. :S But before I start with Uni, I have like 2-3 months with limited benefitial agendas on my schedule.. Thr's the trip to Ayuthayya, Thailand in May.. But what other than that? I'm thinking.. hmm.. a job maybe? But I'd like sumthing REALLY flexible, like, where I can tell the boss, "I'm going dating, not coming tmr" "Okay".. ~~Dream on~~ But yea, sort of looking for something to do.. Suggestions? reply in my cbox.. hehhe!

Alritey, I better get to MGT050.. Tomorrow's gonna be quite a packed day.. With yumcha session after finals, Meeting with the JAP in the evening and skip over to Appreciation Dinner for the Metro Student Councils, then perhaps join the college mates over at Wyman's place for the BBq.. ;)

Pics will be up! Hopefully.. so stay tuned..

Ready to go

See the world behind my wall"

2010-03-29T22:55:00.004+11:00

The Annual Earth Hour was back again last Saturday!

Go GREEN!

wheeeee~~

It was almost a whole day spent with the MOD gang.. In the afternoon, we were in Sentul for our briefing for our Bangkok trip coming May.. Was my fault that we were late though.. sorry.. :S

Then we headed home to freshen up and get changed for the performance at KKBC aka Kota Kemuning Buddhist Centre.. Sampai sana, we nampak no food d when me, Em, and Jam sudah damn HUNG, we went down to the hawker centre and makan sendiri.. XP

Thw whole event was actually an open MIC's Singing for Haiti. This is to raise funds for HAITI as part of the Haiti Relief Event by local Buddhist Organizations.
This event will is held in conjunction with Earth Hour. We sang in the DARK (surrounded by Candles and lamps). Super hooooooott but had fun and benefit-ed from the event. Thank you Bro.Soon for inviting us!!

The song we know by heart..

The song we sang with the heart..

It wasnt 8:30pm yet and the place was alrd lit up with hundreds of candles!

By the stairs..

There were only 5 of us who attended from MOD + D'Melodians.. We went with white tees and jeans.. Not the best idea for an event where thr'll be NO AIRCOND/FAN for an hour.. :O

Emily.. >.>

Cool no?

So they started the performances with the younger kids to perform..

She sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars!! Cute no??

He read a story from the book "Because the bug went Ka-chooo"

Something to do with the environment..

The teenagers did a sketch about the environment too!!

He was readin a poem about the enviroment and going GREEN

She sang a song called "Breathless.."

A girl from Sunway sang "Breakaway"

Together they sang one of my favs "Keep holding on.."

Another inspirational poem..

The group from BODHI presented a few songs in Chinese..

SJBA Choir..

The venue right before it was 9:30pm..

It was 9:30 alrd but they didnt turn the lights off yet (luckily they turned on the aircond) before the last performance..

MOD and D'Melodians!!!!

Like i said, it was suuuuper HAWT!! but we still enjoyed ourselves very much..

After the show we managed to convince Em to drive us down in her 5series and we went yumcha while i left my car at Kota Kemuning.. Met up with Roland at USJ and then Em drove us back to KK to get my car and we all headed home.. ;)

Though the whole of MOD and D'melodian wasnt there but it sure was fun!!

Saya Baba Saya Nyonya

2010-03-26T18:18:00.007+11:00

Saya Baba Saya Nyonya

Saya Nyonya Saya Baba kawan lama
Jatuh cinta nasib kita mana sangka
Baba tinggal di atas sana, Nyonya tinggal bawah
Sama macam satu rumah tangga

Bila bersama sini, malam pagi suka hati

Dalam tidur kita sampay dapat bersatu mimpi

Kalu siapa iri hati kita begini

Tak perduli tak boleh dipisah lagi

Cinta Baba pada Nyonya selama-lama
Macam crita dulu kala tak sengaja
Forever we will be together cinta kita forever
No matter when love without end
You by my side all day and night
Baba Nyonya cinta selama-lama, cinta selama-lama

The ever wonderful Buddhist singing group ~ Messengers of Dhamma

With the singing group from SJBAYS ~ D'melodians

Rocking it at:

United Nations Day of Vesak 2009 will be held in Ayutthaya, Thailand on 22 – 26 May 2009 with the theme Global Recovery: A Buddhist Perspective.

Of an hour of Zee Avi..

2010-03-22T03:29:00.003+11:00

The benefits of having a close friend who's bitch is working in universal is that we get to enjoy happening concerts like the one me and Jamie attended just yesterday..

Yes, it's a really sad fact that i didnt know who Zee Avi was at first when Jamie rang me up that day.. But thankfully after browsing through some of her amazing videos on www.YouTube.com, it was good to know i knew at least one of her many wonderful pieces - Bitter Sweet.. A few more Favs i fell for after listening to her songs would be Kantoi, Poppy & Honey Bee..

Got there earlier since Michelle had to work so me and Jamie had our dinner at Fridays.. Bloated much! Owh Owh! Attention to all friends, Me is going on a weight gain plan.. so FEED ME!! Reuben joined us when we were still makan-ing and little after that we were in the hall..

The concert was Emcee-d by one of the Asia's Biggest Loser contestant.. He's alright.. ;)

The show was all good.. Could've been better but who am I to complain yo? It's free!! The setting would've been perfecto if there were couches and carpets for us to have a chilling night.. *sweeeeeeet*

Anyhoos, after the show we got to meet a friend of Chelle's.. Before I tell you who he was, when the mention of his name, I had this vision in my head that he was this tall hip-hop lookin dude.. Was kinda shocked to see otherwise but he was still cool nontheless! Managed to berkenalan with him too! presenting.. DJ Uno.. ;)

Well, let's get to the pics! (though we werent supposed to bring in any DSLR but *pffffft*)

Consider myself lucky getting to know this cool peeps.. ;)

~~Rockin~~Singing it out..

"Kantoi.."

Lovin this edited pic.. macam some album cover no? :P

Of Retards and more retards...

2010-03-18T04:02:00.004+11:00

I didnt know why, but when i woke up today, I just felt SUPER.. haha! So was looking through the closet and searching around.. nothing beats the "S" when u feel super.. ngek ngek..

i was HIGH yo! haha

Passed by concourse and they were selling phones for the 2nd day.. something caught my attention.. Think.. dirty.. *slrrrrrrrrrrrrrpp*

I think it means your finger dancing over the keypads.. But some of us has other ideas.. ;)

Reached col an hour earlier cuz couz starts his class at 10 and mine's at 11.. Hung out at the Resouce with Sasi + Brian + Nick.. Put on the iPod and there goes me SS-ing in public again.. singing to every song that's being played.. and duh? share the love! So gave Sasi the other side and there we go singing together! Went to our little "canteen" and makan a little cuz class goes on from 11pm-4pm with NO BREAKS! wtf.. There, we sang louder to the sounds of Muse + Simple Plan + All American Rejects.. If only i could dance, i'd be on the tables bustin some moves man.. I just felt so good today.. ;)

Okays, I was so high that I was doing the Sorry Sorry dance over and over again.. Told Adam if i learned how to dance the whle thing, i'll dance on the stage in the Lecture Theatre.. For Real! After class, still feeling that energy in me.. I just DONT KNOW WHY! Jie, started with her "来来来我跟你拍照.." So, knowing me, POSE! =D Let the pics do the talking from now...

Cool Hipidy-Hop look...

They just like it when I act like a retard.. Then I'll go "errggg... Jie Jie.. Jie Jie.."

Here's another one..

Hope tomorrow is another picture productive day.. But it's gonna be a LOOOOOOONG day indeed!

Fuuuhh.. ;)

And so, it was set.. jeng jeng.. wth.. -.-" Macam going for some treasure hunt.. haha! Please bear with my lame-ness.. Am currently brain dead.. :O *drools*

This movie awwwwee+some!! Probably rate it higher than Alice.. Noo, it wasnt cuz of Edward Cullen.. It was just the whole storyline and the setting.. My cup of tea.. Happy moments.. Teary moments.. Moments where you just wanna pull the theater chair out and throw at the screen..

I rate this.. 7/10

Again i stress, not cuz of Mr.Cullen

We had a quick dinner before we all went in the cinema.. We were all lazy to make a decision so we just settled for McDs.. ;D
