sydney/cny

happy cny! i rushed back from changi airport at 4am on sat morning to half-unpack and pack for jb. left the house at 8am to go to woodlands. so lack of sleep!!!! anw the food was excellent as usual and it was fun meeting up with everyone. laughed so much and aloysius is oh-so-cute...he's my lil 5 yr old cousin btw. the way he talks is so adorable. he'd go "silly me" and "hey!" and "it's you again!". gambled a little. nvr win..haha i always lose in gambling btw. can't rmb when i ever won money. that's a real sign that i should nvr gamble. hmmph!! returned to s'pore on mon and visited carol and dawn on tues. gambled at dawn's and yet again, i didn't win. at least this time i didn't lose as well!! i lost and won til in the end i broke even. wtf rite? might as well dun play. cheh!

moving back to sydney. it was awesome. i really liked it there and enjoyed myself although i felt guilty for spending so much money on the trip..the airfare and the shopping!! gosh! but i liked the weather when i was there. ppl are generally really friendly. only the bus service takes too long..like a service only comes every 30mins. but then again, everyone is supposed to drive..like in kl so that explains y there is really not much demand for buses. i enjoyed the company of liz's relatives..her uncle and aunt (bernard n andrea) plus their kids; julian, sebastian, eliza and oliver and their dog, charlie who was so trained and obedient. she could actually wee on command!!! haha. aussies love bbqs. i had 3 bbqs out of the 10 days i was there with liz. learnt about the cricket game cus they are so into it over there. played cricket in the backyard (which is the tennis court) as well....faisal should be proud! haha i finally sorta understood the game. really complicating!!! got a terrible sunburnt at palm beach ( which really resembles the setting of The OC cus they have huge houses near the beach and there's even a place called newport ) which is showing it's ugly effects now cus i'm peeling on my back...damn disgusting.

the lifestyle is pretty laidback compared to s'pore. that's how i wanna live for now. for me there's really no point in rushing and being so damn kiasu...always wanting to be the top..going to the top school etc. it's so dumb. i really dun give a fuck about ranking and i'm quite disgusted with ppl who prioritise it. in the end, u may still become a nobody. watever ur reasons or excuses are, pressure or otherwise, i'll still respect ur outlook on life i guess. everyone deserves their own opinion..just dun sound arrogant and be utterly tactless and making a fool of urself. i just wanna breeze through life and not be caught up in the rat race. just being sufficient is sufficient enough. money can't be brought to grave so can everyone just let me do what i want. let me be happy, not regretting decisions other ppl made for me. i mean, it's about time i stop dreading the days.

move bitch

it's been pretty cold in sydney the past few days except for today which i got a sunburnt. surfing's pretty tough but at least i attempted it. the waves ere are huge and damn strong. grrr...i hope to really pick it up one fine day though. spent a bomb on shopping cus everythign is so freaking cheap. everywhere is on sale. gosh....very bad considering how i'm unemployed and not earnign money. damn!!!

anw, i dunno whether to be disappointed or angry. it's probably my own fault for being so gullible. oh well...i'll just forget about this one this time and not be so silly again the next time.actually, i'm more of disappointed lar..

i should stop running away from my life. my problems. i'm an escapist. i nvr stick til the end to solve something...i always leave things hanging in the air at the last moment and go off. it's my way of not having to deal with my stuff. that's probably why everything is still unsettled. and i dun mind going on like dat. maybe i'm hoping things will sort out by itself but everyone knows they dun.

will someone just throw me a lifebuoy?

sydney! sydney!

so it's confirmed. i'm flying off to sydney on tues. 0950 flight on gulf air. will be back on 27 (fri) 0345. lala. can't wait. it's gonna be a mad rush though. cus i'm still in kl now and will be arriving s'pore tmr at 3pm. then i gotta pack pack pack. sleep. wake up super early to the airport!!!! wheeee.

so we all headed back to wf's place to get ready for sc's surprise bday dinner! it was super well-planned, thx to mv. really sweet of her. hehe. wf had to be "uncle CK", basically the driver...mv blindfolded sc and brought him into wf's car. then me n b went with cw. so we got found our way to starhill/jw marriot...everyone else was waiting there at some grillhouse...the whole bb gang and all. haha and there were fucking surprised to see me too!!! (: haha damn funny..u should have seen their faces! sc was even more surprised when he saw everyone there..he tot he was having dinner with mv only!!! haha. and whoahh...cw paid for our whole dinner..i think there were 20 ppl there man...tsk tsk..he's so fucking rich.

we went to bangkok jazz later..pretty chilled out place. it's ok lar.. didn't drink much..a few sips of wine that's all. was pretty shagged already...i arrived at 5pm and rushed for this dinner but it was worth it!!! (:
