~ Tow Away Car Story ~
First of all, I got parking fine AUD$55 in the city to look for my laywer. This time is even worst than you can think of, I'm the only friend among the circles to get my car towed away last frriday because of seeing my lawyer in the same street - Albert Street. Guess what's the total costs?
What will you think of when you first notice that your car is not at the parking lot? For me, I was like - "Oh shit, my car got tow away!" Yupe, I didn't thought of - my car got stolen, I need to call the police to report. I didn't go blank in my head, I was clear and I was looking for the road sign saying that 4pm - 6.30pm (Clearance way). Hrmmm.... bad luck. Have to call my friend to pick me up from the laywer's place. Turn out that it was traffic period when I have this stupid incident, I just have to take train to go find my friends to ask them - PLEASE SEND ME HOME.
Having a car can spoil your knowledge of taking public transportation, my friend have to navigate me to go Parliament Station to get a train and go BoxHill station. On the way to the Parliament Station, I notice there was a staircase to go down underground but I don't know whether it is the station that my friend was talking about. So, I ask a couple that was just next to me (they are not couple, they are just friends) whether it is the right station that I was going after. They were very nice enough to help me out the stupidity of mine all the way to BoxHill. Luckily enough they were on their way to the same destination where I was going to stop by as well. Guess what, they were at the hospital, NO WONDER they were so nice. Weird but I really thank them for helping out.
I was in the train, underground train, makes me a little bit scared cause of the London Bombing. Well, I was just standing there all the way to BoxHill not wanting toget a sit even though there was available seats. I was still standing and thought of - since I have a car of my own, I have stop taking public transportation cause places that I was living need to have a car more convenient than taking a public transportation.
Then when I was in the car, I thank God for giving me a car cause I don't have to go through all the hassle of taking public transportation and ended up having blood around my body just like the London Bombing accident. I'm just too emtional when I do, see, sense and touch something in my life all the time. Not too good for my attitude I guess.
Eventually,it was a once in a lifetime mistake and not bad being the first person in my circle to have this mistake. Good lesson to learn from and I'll be the popular friend to search for the car if it gets tow away. I learned a lot of interesting things in Melbourne which I have no guts to do that in K.L. (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia). If you know Malaysia well, it is a bit too dangerous for girls to get crazy unlike here. I dare to do things more and it is always safe over here even mom said better don't do this and that.
You might as well says that I don't even want to go back to Malaysia if I can, I feel like staying put here forever and not going back home. Here is HOME for me, plus there are nothing that can make me stay back in Malaysia. Previously there was, now - NONE. Bad news and a little depress but i have to forget and go over it. Yupe, Adriana Tan is going to walk away from the one thing she hope for badly.
Anyway, forget about my depression cause it's not that important as well. So, remember the costs that am suppoer to tell you? Yupe, it is AUD$275 for the tow away, parking and stupid hassle plus a parking fine whichi is AUD$105. All together added up is AUD$380. Another AUD$100, I can pay for my next month's rental. Bloody useless sign which was a few steps away from the other road sign that I shouldn't be noticing at all. | | |

~ Blogging, blogging, blogging ALL THE TIME ~
Why do we have to write bullshit stuffs here and nobody really read it the whole passage? Do you? I don't, not all the time. Try to read my first and last sentence, guess what am I talking about!
When I read my friend's blog, I really don't read all of it. Just some of the interesting parts. Still I understand what was the missing parts talking about. Somehow or rather, the first and the last still links together which the middle will come out the whole conclusion of EXPLAINING things. Explaining, explaining, how weird it can be to do the whole trouble for the exam essays. Do you really count how many words you have written for the onlyone essays, doesn't it take up your extra time of counting IT, when your maths are the worst in your head? Believe me, I did that and I gave up counting half way cause I just simply use up the time for stupid things. Damn hell with the techers, I don't care whether it's less or more, I just finish what I have to finish. It doesn't mean that I didn't follow the instructions, I will get ZERO MARKS for the section, right?
So, I've graduated last year end. Didn't seems that hard in university life as I was doing more practical assignments then theory. Let say that I didn't finish a book for the 2 years course over here in Melbourne, Australia. Fantastic, HATE me, just go ahead. I have friends that are majoring in Economics, Law, Marketing, Finance, Medicine, Pharmacy and lots always said that to me - "Good luck with your exams". At first, I was so scared to tell them that I don't have exams and I don't need to sit one like you do. Semesters and semesters gone by, I just have the guts telling them this answer - "Yah, like as if I have one. I'm a Contemporary Arts student, I DON'T HAVE EXAMS. So, keep you lucky charm for your ownself". Then, they will ask me lots of questions about why I don't have exams, what am I studying, why only have practical assignments, why this and why that. I'm like - "WHY DO YOU ASK SO MANY QUESTIONS, nothing that I can help you".
Friends, trust me, if you HATE to study or touch a book for even less than a seconds. I recommend you to major in Film Studies, Drama, Dance, Art and Photographic.These are the few majors that rarely have books right up to your nose. Not that I'm saying that my major is great or what. But it's just helps you alot to win a degree back to our parents, after that, you can just go for another degree in another major as you like. It doesn't hurt to have two degrees in your life. Think of it though, it's just AWESOME when you introduce friends, uncles or aunties, family or whatsoever people that you're a BACHELOR OF CONTEMPORARY ARTS - MAJORING IN FILM STUDIES, is seriously AWEEEESSSSOOOOOMMMMMMEEEEE! How many people you know that studies that exclude me, of course.
I'm proud of it and I rely that degree a lot to find my dream. If it really happens before I age till wrinkles coming out day by day or maybe seconds. Oh my Lord, please make me stay young forever till my death day! Yeh, doesn't mean that my outer look must be young, I meant my mind and heart have to stay young, so I won't get cheated by my children - if am planning to have a few or one or maybe not. Talk about having children, I guess the best thing is to have one by your ownself and the rests, just adopt, see how many children in this world without parents to pamper. Thanks to our great 1st sexiest woman in this world - Angelina Jolie for her great contribution of adopting her 2 children. Now what, the rest of the celebrities are doing the same old thing like Angelina Jolie. Then, what will happen next, think about it, the cycle will come back getting pregnant and not adopting any children. This will be recycling quite a lot of things and DO NOT DISPOSE THINGS TO THE MARS cause we're going to live there one day, if am still alive by that time.
Anyway, my life has been usual as am working part-time here and there. Bringing my pet dog to visit his friends or brothers. Visited his daughter not long ago and guess what, he wants to HUMP his own daughter. Oh please, don't get angry with him. How does he knows its his daughter when he didn't know he is a dad also. Doesn't mean that the daughter is living with him means he knows that ia his daughter. They are animals and they don't know what is call their own species of family. They only know who are US. Get it, that's why dogs are man's best friend. But what happen to the word of "WOMEN"? As usual, because woman are from MAN and MAN is from WHERE?
Well, guess it, what am I talking about? | | |

~ Movie Series / TV Series.. or whatsoever Series ~
Born without understanding any words what human beings are saying, developing day by day to understand the words. How awful to understand human speaking language when you just come out from the womb. Most of the LUCKY BABIES got to welcome by their parents, I don't think the babies will understand what is call - "Hey, welcome to the world, baby" by their parents or parent.
In my case, I think I just understand what is - HUNGRY and I NEED FOOD ASAP! Yeh, extraordinary case but it's worth a single minute just to wait for my milk in the hospital. Then, year by year, I grew up and am growing up still until my DEATH DAY. I understand words by words and learning every single words which I still don't understand it. How amazing that the Dictionary actually add the modern words in it which don't think really need it to be, I guess...
But movies are just one of my favourite time to spend with. Non stop watching TV all the time even when I'm eating, studying, visiting and what can I think of. It might be good to have TV in the toilet and shower room but just didn't buy the portable TV for emergency use. To think of it, dad always tell me one sentence - You can leave without a year to watch the TV shows as they will still show it after a year or two, so you still won't miss it. That was when I was in Form Three taking the PMR time, believe it, I DID NOT watch or touch the TV for that year. Not even stepping into the cinema at all with friends even though am invited for it.
How amazing when am addicted with TV and just stop not watching or touching it. This might be painful for me but I did survive for that year and concentrate on my studies. After that, don't rely on my dad's saying anymore, went back to the addiction. Dad always joke with me that I will become a broadcaster one day in one of the Malaysia Channel News or overseas. Dad and mom never agree me doing or becoming one. Eventually, I rely in my belief of mind and heart which I ended up taking a Degree for Contemporary Arts - Film Studies major. Yupe, I WANT TO BE ONE... Like the Asian lady in CNN news and she was GOOD. I was not keen of news but she influence me of wanting to be like her. I think that she is still there, ask my dad, he knows who is she. Anchor-women for the news channels that knows several languages back in Malaysia. How amazing these people can work for different language in one news channel and became praised by oversea visitors that know Malaysia well whilst their work/stay there.
Well, I might be happy to have a degree that is different from many people for Asia country cause many people in this world know and understand that Asians ain't that keen of wanting to take up that major which I DID. I just told them - Maybe I'm just one of the extraordinary Asian that just don't do the same thing like the most Asians. They agreed in it but they were glad to see Asians keen of taking jobs like that.If the one day came, unemployment issue mostly attack at US (the Media people). In my mind, no one will live without US as we are the greatest source that they can be connected in this WHOLE EARTH or even other balls flowing next to the earth.
Next, Tom Cruis is with David Letterman. Got to watch that, seriously crazy loyal Scientology follower that is not getting a marriage date by Katie Holmes. Yupe, I DO FOLLOW THAT bullshits from the MEDIA people. Anyway, happy connecting by US, and don't get grumpy when it's ewwwwwwww movies. | | |

~ Winsons Prom Day Trip ~
Well, it's been a while since I really go to anywhere away from Melbourne hectic city noise. This time it's the country side which is near to the sea of Victoria. A place where more accidents happened every year in Victoria then any towns that occur. True enough that the place is nice to visit and overnight but it just darn bored. At least, not as noisy like the city and getting fresh air from the sea blowing from. Nothing to complain but to run away from the city life.
Went there as I wanted to visit one of my regular customers whom the husband and wife always have dinner at Galangal Restaurant every Wednesdays. It's just a knowing people in one of the town and advantage of getting to know the place easily rather than going alone without any knowledge but from the Melway (Melbourne's map).
Graeme and Sheryl Anthony's Holiday Inn is a nice warm welcoming Inn to stay put for a night with the 3 hours drive from Melbourne. In between there are lots of smaller towns, food is cheap, big, fresh and the feel of "WOW" feeling rather than having the same old cuisines or fast-foods that kill people more every year because it doesn't provide healthiness to human body.
Tong, my ex's classmate back in Kuala Lumpur was with me and his new here, took a chance with him to travel around. Had a nice time meeting up with Anthony's customers whom always there every weekends. Chit-chat with them and every one likes TONG.... Tong, what medic you gave them? Send me some when I next see you to get the Naruto remaining lost episodes.
We all went to Agnes Fall which is a fall we can't get near it in wet but it's good to have something fresh home feeling to look at. Wind Farm, yupe, Far far away and too way big to stand underneath the 33m long blade which might chop our heads off. MAYBE only! Want to check out the pictures, go to this website: http://adrianalynnal.multiply.com/ under Wilsons Promotory picture folder.
Every thing is good and next stop, overnight at one of the small town near the Torra National Park which leads to the Lighthouse. Never seen one in my life, will have the opportunity soon. Tong, when are you free... to go lighthouse? | | |

~ Mr & Mrs Smith Day Out ~
I was onced invited by my lady boss, Irene to watch movie with her again. Yeh, the Mr & Mrs. Smith movie - Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie (izzit correct?). Conclusion, her whole family and her friend's whole family and her friend's daughter's friend plus me. So, we have 9 people together to have lunch at Pavillion Doncaster as it was Queen's birthday (holiday for some people but not all), and some of the restaurants are not open at that day and time. Yupe, I was the funniest person to join in but well every thing was FINE. After all, I just want to watch movie which is the movie title is ABOVE as Irene knows about it.
I realized that she'll ask me to come along to watch movie with her and I think I never so NO to people when coming to food and movie or play for a day. Previously, I went to watch Star Wars with her and her two children. Pancake for breakfast and Vietnamese beef noodle for lunch, all in her account except I paid for her movie ticket. Not good for her to keep on paying for me even though she wants to but it's not GOOD... I don't think my dad would like it since she's my lady boss and I'm just working for her. Anyway, she insisted of paying me back but I just said NOPE, it's alright. I can still afford movie tickets.
I guess this is call IN RETURN you just have to give back a little, it was right when boss said "Not all the time also have to put it in and never let it out". Well, it was suppose to be a dirty joke in the kitchen while working but think of another sense, it's right that sometimes you just have to give out since they have given me so much while working for them and they treated me very well and like their own kid. Not all bosses can do that, it's a GOOD thing I have bosses like that. Or else, I'll be fired soon enough before winter arrives and now it's beginning of winter. I'm still OK and alive there. Hehe..
Anyway, back to the movie topic. OH MY GOSH, I nearly slept in the middle of the movie. It got so BORING until I didn't get Angelina to turn my mood on to watch her movie. Well, it's my FIRST TIME watching her movie. No biggie deal, it's just crapzzzzz movie.I agreed on guys when they said it's a shitty or crap movie, it is really what they said. I overheard the loud conversation a few rows away from my line which we have to que for the movie. His friend watch the movie before us and his friend just said, "No way, you're watching it. It's a CRAP movie. It's SHIT." Well, well, well, I though Angelina is the No. 1 sexiest girl in the Hollywood 2005 and that's what the guy said about her movie. I ended up not going to have 'the' mood as I don't really want to watch her movie but Brad Pitt. Anyway, Contemporary Students majoring Film Studies just have to watch movie and continue to see what is new in the industry. That's why I ended up watching most of the latest movie with people whenever I can.
So, it was time for the movie and incredibly - it was FULL... or most of the seats are full. 9 of us have to sit separately as there are people more before us, we eventually have to split up. I was nearly sitting quite not in the seat that I wanted and I went all the way down to have the eye to eye screen seat as I don't have to strain my neck watching movie for nearly 2 hours. Irene's son was sitting beside me in the front role near the walkway, and the rest is way to behind us. No worries, I have total control on the kid who is only 10 years old. Hehehe.... his a good kid but too quite for his age. At least this time his not that shy with me since I got to play his portable nintendo.
Remember that is the not too X-rated scene, he was eventually watching them kissing. I was looking at him to see what's his reaction and he knew I was doing so. He didn't even close his eyes which he was trying to peep and I ended up pushing his one side of face facing the other side until it's DONE. It was so cute until I didn't know what was going around with the actors on screen. Another time, both of them stop killing each other and having a wild sex - he eventually used his hand to close his eyes and I looked at him again to see what's going around his mind this time. He was good enough to close his eyes until I have to tell him it's finish. Think of it when I was a kid, between my hands, there are always holes for me to peep on the bad scene. It was cool cause no one knows about it and I didn't understand what I was watching at all at that little 4 years old age time. Hehe...
Anyway, the movie is total shit the hell out of my world this time. None that I can recall excites me at all. | | |
