Funfacts

Funfact no. 1: Some people said I gained weight!! Yay!! *pats self on the back* Must be all the rice, milk & butter...

Funfact no. 2: Some people said I got fairer... Which is weird considering the fact that I walked under the hot sun in Brisbane more than when I'm back here in Malaysia.

Funfact no. 3: I got bigger muscles on my arms. From all the housework perhaps?

Funfact no. 4: I can still drive. Haha!! I guess it's a skill that you cannot forget once you've learned it, kinda like swimming.

Funfact no. 5: I've been going out everyday since I've landed. There's so much catching up to do!!

Funfact no. 6: I've been shopping. A lot. Without doing any research, I got myself a new phone the same day I arrived in Malaysia. I know, I can be quite impulsive. Then cosmetics. & more cosmetics... Perfume <3... Clothes... I should stop. I can stop. I will stop! ....Next month. Haha!! There's still stuff on my shopping list, like bags, and accessories... and more cosmetics... XD

Funfact no. 7: I've been experiencing multiple orgasms. Food orgasm that is... Dim sum; Chong Qing steamboat; Kanna's banana leaf rice; Spicy Char Kuay Teow; Indomie; Heng Tai's Kam Heong Lala, & Tom Yam Fried Rice with Extra Sotong; Asam Laksa; Kayu's famous curry & my favourite Roti Telur (The waiter remembers me!! He said "Eh how ar yoo? Long taim yoo no coming..."); Nasi Lemak... There's so many more!!! Malaysia is a food heaven! I have to go... Like how Josh puts it, "I'm having the munchies!"

Madagascar & Lala

Met up with Josh (whom I've known since we were 7 & I'm so nice to layan him everytime he's emo) on Tuesday & we watched Madagascar 2! The penguins are soo funny! It isn't really that good, but if you enjoyed Madagascar, then go watch Madagascar 2. I'm glad I'm in Malaysia. Australia is so backward, Quantum of Solace is only coming out in December in Brisbane. But I heard it's a disappointment anyway. No gadgets, & if you didn't watch Casino Royale, you wouldn't know what the heck is happening.

Oh & I bumped into Elvyna before the movie, met Aik Thai at GSC (he was also in the same hall watching the same movie), & bumped into my cousin after the movie. It's good to see familiar faces! Haha!

After Madagascar 2, we window shopped for awhile. We looked at some shoes, then headed to Parkson to sample some perfume. hehe...

By that time my stomach was growling so we went to Indomie to have our fix. Kam Heong Lala... Yum! & Tom Yam Fried Rice with Sotong... Double yum! We ate & chatted till 2am our stomachs were satisfied & our butts hurt.


I miss this lifestyle. It's good to be home.

I have no time to blog since I arrived in Malaysia! Ok so here's some of the stuff we did before leaving for Malaysia.

1. I ate a burger at McDonalds... with bacon! Tee hee... You cannot get this in Malaysia! Imagine going to a Ramli Burger stall, & you say "Burger babi satu". Nope, it's something I can't imagine happening in Malaysia. Pity, Burger babi has such a nice ring to it.

2. We finally went to the famous casino in Brisbane city. We actually wanted to play Blackjack, but decided against it after we saw how the banker kept winning. LOL. We didn't even know how to play the slot machine. Headed home & had our own gambling session. We used Phuong's limited edition Jay Chou playing cards! Woot!


3. Swam at the Manors. We did some really crazy stuff in the pool which I shall NOT blog about. Haha! Then they came over to our apartment since they haven't been here before.

4. Went shopping with the girls at Harbour Town. Had a really crappy meal. The menu said fish with prawn, calamari, scallops, & fries. Turns out the calamari & scallops were fake. WTF!!?!? It was made from potato & flour or something of that sort. Other than that, I really enjoyed shopping there :)

Thankful

On Sunday, the girls & I went to Harbour Town (which took about an hour or more to reach by public transport) for some retail therapy. Little did I know that a storm would hit Brisbane. The worst storm that Queensland had experienced in more than 20 years.

The funny thing was, I didn't even know that a storm had hit Brisbane when I came back (the storm was in a different suburb), until a few days later. The only thing I knew was it was raining heavily the night we came back.

Phuong (who is all the way in Vietnam, mind you) messaged Hwai Li & I to ask if we were ok. & we were like "Storm? What storm?" Then we looked it up online & was shocked to find all the pictures... Trees uprooted, roofs blown off, people wading in knee-high waters...





I am thankful. God took care of me, & I didn't even know.

Is the grass really greener on the other side?

A lot of people have asked me if I am planning to stay in Australia after I graduate, leaving Malaysia for a "better nation" for a "better life". & my answer to them is "No, I'm going home."

I'm not saying Australia isn't a nice place. I've had so much fun exploring this foreign land & I intend to learn much more about this place, the people, & its culture.

But, I've lived in Malaysia all 21 years of my life. I love my home. I don't deny that there are many things that we can be unhappy or complain about but this is home. Sure there are plenty of system that don't seem to work smoothly, but this is our tanah air!

I've crossed the fence, the grass isn't much greener after all.

Fun & orgasm

Finally! Omg I'm so glad it's over. I'm so excited!!!

Holidays here I come!!

I'm looking forward to it... I was actually smiling to myself in the exam hall ok! & I couldn't concentrate. All I could think of is these 3 months... LOL I know I know...

The orgasm is kicking in, just thinking about it...

Chocolate! For achieving 100% attendance in his tutorial. *pats self on the back*

Ok Hwai Li, I admit I skipped more classes than you, but I know which one can't be skipped! hahaha...

If only we knew which class to skip & which not to. Like Phuong said, they should at least mention it in the course profile. LOL wtf...

Pick Up Lines 101

Josh, remember we were once discussing about pick up lines? You've inspired me to write this post, & hopefully some of you guys can benefit from this ;)

I think the only purpose of a pick up line should be to initiate a conversation with a girl, but pick up lines are not an essential part of meeting women. Ok I shall start with bad pick up lines.

"Great legs, what time do they open?"
Your friends might find this hilarious, but you're certainly not getting anywhere with her by trying this pick up line. Anytime you imply that a good-looking girl is easy because she's dressed provocatively & in a bar, you're committing a huge mistake. If she's hot, would she really be interested in hearing you belittle her? & it's not witty, it's just insulting.

"Hey girl, what's up? Guess what? It's your lucky day. Out of all the girls here, I picked you to talk to."
Confidence is always good, but when it crosses the line into arrogance, you won't be having much luck with the ladies.

"Do you believe in love at first sight or should I walk past again?"
Kind of funny, yes, but you want to know why it's so bad? Too cocky. This type of pick up lines has got egomaniac written all over it.

"Excuse me, I think you owe me a drink. Because when I saw you from across the room I dropped mine."
Not only will this trigger the bullsh*t detector on most girls, but you're bound to get labelled a cheapskate to boot. At this point, you shouldn't be asking her for things but instead, offering to make her life better in some small way - or at least buy her a drink.

You wouldn't want this to happen to you.

If you ask me, men have a tendency to walk up to women in completely the wrong manner. Whether it's out of a fear of rejection or just general stupidity, men often come off as being crude & insulting.

It is important that your first line of communication be one that is easily accepted, funny, or humorous, or something that will make a lasting impression. One mistake that any women can tell you that most men make is that they try to use a sexual pick up line. This does not work with women & is an instant turn off.

What does work however is to use a charming, sincere, & witty pick up line. Another area that is a quick turn off is to use a pick up line that sounds like a pick up line. Women want to hear a conversation starter, not a pick up line. So, make sure that you fine tune your pick up line & present it in a way that opens dialogue & is a form of communication, not a command that demeans the woman's character.

When you first meet a woman, unless you want a slap in the face, your pick line should be complimentary in nature, not overtly sexual. Here are the few good pick up lines that you can use as conversation starters.

"Besides being gorgeous, what else do you do for a living?"
This is a great pick up line because it opens with a compliment & is then followed by a sincere question - what line of work are you in. It is a two fold compliment; the first says that the woman is beautiful, the second that you are interested in her area of work, or her brains. Make sure you say it with a genuine & sincere smile & it will work like a charm.

"Heaven called, they said they're missing an angel. No, seriously, where are you from?"
This pick up line plays on the heaven/angel theme - a very common topic used in pick up lines. But this one leads into a conversational topic. Often, people use pick up lines & then are left dumbfounded with nothing else to say. Always follow your pick up line with a question or a comment that elicits a response.

"I only have a minute before I must get back to my friends, but I wanted to introduce myself to you."
This line is more formal & old fashioned, but it takes the edge off. Most women tend to shy away from men who they think may become instant stalkers. By letting her know from the beginning that you aren't planning on monopolizing her time, she will be more receptive to your introduction & conversation.

"The only thing your body language isn't telling me is your name."
This line is a bit more straightforward & should be used only when you are positive that you & the woman have made that first connection. It is another great starting point that leads into an introduction.

Remember guys, don't take pick up lines so seriously, or it's bound to fail. Let your guard down a bit, & make it clear that you're aware of the cliched approach you're taking. The girl may not swoon, but she'll probably think you're cool enough to carry on a conversation with. The rest is up to you ;)
