What has the world come to? Assassinating a country's leader to prove a shared belief isn't exactly going to put a full stop to all the chaos.
What a way to send off the year 2007.
Anyway. I need to start thinking seriously about my new year resolution. All the magazines are pouring with tips/ideas on deciding ny resolutions. Sounds so easy but really: who is going to keep all those "exercise at least 3 times a week" resolutions? So I figured I'll just make mine as realistic as possible this year.
Looking at pictures traveling to exotic places for holidays really make me want to pack up my bags, book a ticket, and just GO somewhere. Yes I know I just got back from Thailand. But that was with a tour! Backpacking throughout Europe is still somewhere near the top of my "100 things to do before I die" list, and I'm still in search of a backpacking partner, and hoping to fulfil that in the next 10 years if possible. Anyone keen?
I had my medical checkup for the visa renewal done yesterday, x-ray today. The doctor had to try twice before getting any blood out -__- and I was trying to convince myself the whole time that I wouldn't have another panic attack again.
Which didn't work, of course.
Right after blood was taken, I had that feeling again. It felt like someone had cut off blood supply to my brain, and the nerves are trying really hard to connect with each other. Heart pumping harder than usual. So hard that I can actually hear my heartbeat, and I had to steady myself against the table. I managed to say to the doctor "I feel faint" before lying down on the bed for a few minutes until it went away.
Some say it's haemophobia, a phobia of seeing blood. But I didn't even had a chance to look at the blood-filled syringe!
But still, thank God it wasn't as bad as a few years ago when my vision was reduced to black and white, just like a tv channel without reception. Static. Hearing very blurred. Imbalance, extreme dizziness.
Anyway. Had my first movie since I got back this time. Alien vs Predator 2 isn't as good as I'd expected it to be. The movie itself: 6.2 out of 10. The fact that I'm also complaining about the small screen, horrible sound system, uncomfortable chairs, lack of headrest, noisy people, and mobile phones going off makes it about a 5.5 out of 10.
Worst of all, there isn't anything worth discussing about AFTER the movie. Oh, one particular movie trailer was funny. It started off looking like 300; muscular guys wearing Spartan outfits, then out of nowhere appeared a girl who looked freakishly like Britney Spears shaving herself bald while holding a baby, who was later kicked down the well by the supposed King Leonardis. Yeap, another one of those "epic movies" not worth watching at the theatres.
25.12.07
Merry Christmas everyone. =)
It's a good feeling to be celebrating Christmas here again, after having spent the previous 2 years overseas. There are more events happening, more planning to do, more drama (obviously), and more food. The only thing missing is the Christmas spirit.
Saying that I miss Nations Christian Church is an understatement. The fact that I even managed to be part of this big family I never thought I'd have is something I take for granted all the time. And being back here, though surrounded by family and friends, I really do miss going to home cell every Tuesday, miss being at Friday music practices, and just being around people who understand me and make me laugh.
I've grown even more attached to the group of people I've been spending for the past 2 years than those I'd known since primary or secondary school. Funny, isn't it? Perhaps being far away from your comfort zone makes people appreciate what they have even more. Right now, being thousands of miles away from you guys make me think back on the funny moments we'd shared throughout the year 2006/2007. A nostalgic feeling, really. I can't imagine how life would be like once some of you graduate next year. As cheesy as this sounds right now: As our lives change, come whatever, we'll always be friends forever.
Now I know why people say that university years are the best years of your life.
The few repeating questions I always get since coming back here:
Anyway, had dinner at Merdeka Palace on Christmas Eve. The food was so-so, the highlight has got to be the part when a choir group (from St Peter's? Not quite sure) came in and sang the audience a few beautiful carols. Very well done. I loved how so many instruments were used: 2 guitars, a voilin, a flute, small set of drums, and those cute shakers that make "schk schk" sounds. The Santa Claus was quite entertaining too; he was very BLACK and said hohoho in the weirdest way.
Christmas day service was held at church this morning. It was a last minute thing asking me to play the keyboards, and for some reason I was nervous. Playing the few songs I'm comfortable playing is not a problem at all, but asking me to play the Christmas hymns/carols without any accompanying instruments and I'll freak out. Worst case scenario would be if they started singing in a different key than what I've been practising. Which happened AGAIN, of course. Thank goodness it didn't take me long to figure out that the aunties and uncles sang in D instead of the usual G for "O come all ye faithful." Oh also please, choose more cheerful and fast carols for Christmas next year.
Also, one thing I'd notice that's so typical of the programs and events organised here: people put so much effort in planning that all emphasis have been shifted into making sure it is PERFECT. At the end of the day, they want praise for what they've done, they want confirmation that nobody could have done better than themselves. That's why I said that though so many Christmas events had been organised, no Christmas spirit could be found. It's so sad, really. When everything is swept under the rug, things just go downhill from here unless someone bothers to stand up and turn this thing around.
21 days to Dunedin. Ah, I can already imagine myself unpacking into the new big-as room waiting for me there.

The few repeating questions I always get since coming back here:
- So where are you studying again?
- So WHAT are you studying again?
- Oh. Biotech? WHAT exactly will you do once you graduate?
- Oo. So don't want to come back liao la har? -__-
- When are you going back again? Why so early?
- Any bf yet?

let the reunions begin
Still no pictures, guys. Sorry! I'll find a way to get my camera charged and transfer pics to a cd or something. Dial up also is no good in uploading pictures.
Patience, Jocelyn. PATIENCE.
Anyway, had the first (big?) reunion with secondary school classmates just a while ago.
It was supposed to be a small gathering, just the 5 of us: with Jess, Josephine, Ching, and Yee Shien. But turned out that almost half the class went there, including some whom I haven't met for at least 5 years. I didn't expect to meet Siew Chien there anyway.
Ching, next time let's meet somewhere ELSE other than Expert at Jalan Song, ok.
***
I'm surrounded by Christmas events.
Christmas dinner, this Saturday.
Youth Christmas party, 27th. Bring satay and a friend. -__-
This morning, packed 514 mini presents for dinner guests. My fingers hurt now.
25th. The BIG day. Playing keys again (besides this Sunday).
...did I miss anything out?
Oh. and more reunions of course.
Julianna, we must meet again now that you're back from kiasuland. You do the planning this time. haha!
Pancakes, I'm still putting together our list of places to visit and things to eat. Not sure about Damai beach anymore as there have been a lot of cases of people drowning (?) Will discuss that with you guys later ok?

in Kuching
Sorry for being MIA for the longest time.
Not having my laptop with me is torturous. Not being able to get online to check emails and chat is double the torture. What happened to my laptop? According to the repair people, my laptop has adapted to the cold weather and therefore stopped functioning properly since arriving here in Msia. The motherboard crashed, the laptop kept auto restarting every few minutes, then few seconds. I had just got it back few hours ago, installed a cooling pad, kept a usb fan nearby, and turned on air-conditioning to 19 degrees. All these to keep my laptop running smoothly.
Gosh, EVEN my laptop is rejecting the hot and humid weather here. Yes, I am falling sick again. Happens every time I go back home. I haven't even had laksa yet!
Anyway, I just got back from a 10 day trip to Thailand and KL on 14th Dec.
So much details and photos taken, but I'll probably only blog on my adventures and post pictures after I get back to Dunny. Dial up here is pretty bad, and I still need to transfer pics from camera to laptop as I'd forgotten to bring back my memory card reader (and handphone charger, ipod charger, AND camera charger). Yeap, that's how forgetful I am at times.
The luggages have all been recovered, thank God. Missing luggages are REALLY very common nowadays it seems. When we reached KL (from Bangkok), my cousin's luggage went missing too. While they were at the lost and found counter, we saw a couple retrieving their luggage, and all its contents were missing! But my cousin got back his backpack a few days later and had AirAsia deliver it to our hotel so that was solved. I went to pick up second missing luggage (May's box of precious chocolates) few hours ago, and not surprisingly saw another girl flying from London missing her luggage. Her dad was furious: "So you mean that you don't know where her luggage is?!!! Wa, you know people just came from a 20-hour flight from London....!!!!" Something is seriously wrong with the cargo-handling ability of our airport crew. Either that or the system used to handle luggages needs a complete makeover.
Christmas dinner organised by church is held this Saturday this year. Would it be any different (other than location) this year?
Oh ya, congrats on your graduation Chyi Chyi. Saw your pics on the blog, u look so cute with the robe on! haha! Wish I was there!
Not many are back in Kuching during Christmas time. Most are coming back during CNY. bugger. I'm heading back earlier this year as my parents are coming over for CNY too. Well, there goes my ang pow for 2008.
Waiting for the Pancakes & family to arrive at Kuching sooooooon. haha! Yes I shall be the tourist guide who barely knows a thing about attractions in Kch. Looking forward to that and many gatherings to come.
PS. If you don't have my new handphone number yet, let me know on msn or facebook.
PSS. I miss broadband connection. I miss Heroes!!!

Frustrated
My journey back home was NOT a smooth trip.
1. I almost missed my Auckland to KL flight. Well, this is mainly my fault I admit. My flight from Dunedin/Chch arrived at Auckland at 1.20pm, and I thought that would be enough since the connecting flight leaves at 2.20pm. Now I know that 1 hour is NOT enough at all. I got to the check in counter only to discover that check in was closed already. Fortunately after countless "I'm sorry!!!" to the check in people (1 was very rude "Yea, you SHOULD BE!!!"), another couple and I were escorted to the plane (announcement: can the passengers of bla bla please come to gate XX, the passengers are waiting for you...). It was crazy, running to the departure gate as I was told the plane would leave in 7 mins and I was already DEAD tired to run all the way there.
But Thank God, I got there in time, and the flight itself wasn't that bad. Watched 3 movies and didn't manage to sleep.
2. The flight from KL to Kuching was delayed. 15 minutes, wasn't that bad. But still, my muscles were aching, I was hungry, and all I could think of was lying down on a proper bed.
3. My luggages went missing. This pissed me off the most. Everything from my clean clothes to hair straightener all in the big luggage, but when I called the airport again just now, I was told the luggages are still in Auckland. I'm speechless.
Girl on the phone said luggages will be here by tomorrow. Please let it be here by then, before I leave for Thailand on the 6th! Honestly I think this is MAS's fault, not Auckland airport's mistake. Besides me, another girl traveling from Sydney and a family transiting from London were also missing their luggages. A coincidence that the luggages that went missing came from international destinations? I think not.
So I'm doomed to wearing the same clothes for 3 days.

Christmas at the Octagon 07!
The horror of packing is consuming me. Help!!!
My room is a total mess. I'll have to pack Waszowski soon. I'll have to take down the mirror on the wall. I'll have to dismantle the L-shape table. I'll have to pack my speakers. My gosh, I can't imagine listening to music on the laptop without my wonderful speakers anymore. This is bad.
Truth to be told, I hate being on planes. Not just that, the waiting in airports, walking from one terminal to the next. Gah, so nostalgic. Hiro, I beg you to come here and transport me back without having to waste a perfect WHOLE day travelling. Did I mention that I don't particularly like long-haul flights?
Anyway, Christmas at the Octagon was held this year again on the 30th of Nov. Once again Nations Christian Church was part of it and they put together an awesome band to perform a few Christmas Carols to entertain the city.
It was wonderful. 9 beautifully sung carols, kids jumping around, adults wiggling their butts (no, I did not record that on video), "toys" (Little red riding hood, Cinderella, Bo peep etc) going around keeping kids happy, great sound system, not-too-windy weather, a 10-metre Christmas tree, people of all ages and races, and of course great atmosphere. Who would want to miss watching the mayor lighting (switching on the lights) the big Christmas tree?
Cinderella so pretty, right?
Not-so-little red riding hood. Pretty too.
Cinderella and her escort. Hmm.
Michelle & Raymond on stage. With glitter. haha!
The ever fabulous Jo singing.
And also not forgetting, Christine who just loves furry outfits. We know you do.
It really was a day to remember.
Chyi Chyi, May, and I went to Starbucks for a quick coffee session before the event. While we were happily enjoying our fraps, I saw 2 very macho policemen chasing a guy, and one of them pinned the guy onto the floor, handcuffing him right then and there. That is the closest it gets to 24, believe it.
A few minutes later, another guy with a bloody forehead followed more cops to the scene. There were at least 3 police cars around, and at least 200 busybodies (mostly high school students and people drinking coffee at Starbucks) looking curiously from a distance while the policemen nabbed the bad guy.
The cops here are seriously so much better looking than those in Malaysia.
"Look at his tight uniform!", says Chyi Chyi. Tsk tsk.
We're very 38 people, ok. Cannot miss out on action.
*more pictures of Mr Policeman and Christmas thingy on facebook*
Not sure what the bad guy was arrested for, the news showed nothing yet. Very curious. Anyway Chyi took a few pictures for me (including the policeman who could pass for a Baywatch lifeguard anytime. hahaha!). It was an entertaining afternoon indeed.
May had to leave early for work, so we decided to watch a movie to pass time. My gosh, I expected so much more from the movie Beowulf. It would probably be worth it if it were in 3D version. The storyline was good, ending was sort of expected, effects were ok-ish, but somehow I just expected more from all the hype and advertising. A 6 out of 10 from me. 4 of the 6 comes from Angelina Jolie's character. She sure is a convincing villain.
2 more days and I'm back in Kuching. Wow, feels a little surreal. Last time playing the keyboard at church tomorrow this year, I'm going to miss it a lot.

Worried about not being able to attend Hillsong 08.

I tag no one.

Is it 7 more days to Kuching already? WOW.
hyper-optimistic me
I blame myself for getting excited too easily, or maybe I'm just putting my hopes way too high.
Here's why.
A few days ago, I was browsing through the Hillsong church website when I found out that the early bird registration ends on 30th Nov ($179, extra 20 after that).
I got overly enthusiastic and began the crazy hunt of cheap air tickets to Sydney, checking out backpackers prices, and even searched for train fares to the Acer Arena. Then I sent out a message through facebook to a few friends, hoping that they'll be as enthusiastic as I am and grabbed the opportunity to attend Hillsong Conference 2008.
It was a last minute plan, I admit. And most people aren't keen on spending about $800 going to a conference, not to mention skipping 1 week's worth of lectures. But there I was, praying for a miracle that more people would say yes.
I am disappointed.
Not at you guys who couldn't make it, don't get me wrong. I fully understand your responsibilities and important things to do. I just thought that He would make it happen, and make it possible for us to travel again before some of you guys graduate next year.
Oh well. I might still go, it's my dream to be part of the conference ever since I picked up my first Hillsong album. Worst case scenario, I'll fly off to Sydney by myself and meet up with friends over there. *hint hint, Jess*
All hope is NOT lost! I still have faith that I'll attend it, some other year if next year is not the year. ;P

Comical
These look familiar?
For those who don't know already, these are the Pon and Zi comics- they've become quite popular recently, a fine way of replacing words.
What shocked me was that the artist is actually an 18 year old guy called Jeff Thomas.
About him:
He-eeeey. My name is Jeff Thomas and I'm 18 years old. I'm currently taking classes at the local community college to build an application portfolio for ACCD in Pasadena, CA, where I'll be majoring in illustration if I get accepted. When I'm not drawing Pon and Zi, I like to do more serious illustrations and work with acrylic. I also play cello, bass, violin and piano, and I'm currently recording an experimental electro album. (I've got a music myspace profile and my project is called Disregard for Gravity, so look me up! I'll have something to listen to posted soon!) When I need a break from everything, I like going to shows or just out for coffee. I'm lame like that. Hahaha.
So he sounds just like any other normal teenager, figuring out which path to take next; be it music or graphic design. Talented young man.
There's even an online store on his website where you can buy prints & other cute-sy stuff.
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to watching the movie Beowulf (3D version). Reviews have been good, and I've never watched a whole 3D film before. Surprisingly, there hasn't been many good movies this summer. Not yet, maybe.
Christmas in the Octagon is coming up too! Should be helping with ushering this year too, and the music team have been practising quite a lot, can't wait for the event on the 3oth of Nov. I'll confirm the time soon, so if you're still in Dunedin, just come along (5ooo showed up last year) and see the lighting of the big Christmas tree!
Untitled.
You never fail to surprise me every day
Little obstacles pop up along the way
I worry, complain, and sigh
Yet You assure me never to fear
For what would worry add to problems?
I'm beginning to have more faith now
Leaning on Your Word, I do
Reminding me of Your never-failing promises
You show me that with faith comes hope
Joy.
Just knowing that I'll never walk alone
My future, my aspirations, they're all in Your hands
Gratitude.
I'm forever changed by Your blessings
So I'll put a smile on my face
To remind others that You place the stars in the skies
And it's You who give the sun its rays
For You I'll live
Always.

Missing you guys
All results are out (unofficially) now, I can't say I'm happy with them. Could've done better.
11 days to go before I head back to Kuching. Everyone's asking if I'm excited or not. Normally I would just say yes (followed by a silent "duh"). I haven't seen my parents, friends from back home, or ate Msian food for 11 months now, so yes I'm anticipating it, but far from excited. I know the things to expect when I get back- routine gatherings, yeap-I-expected-that questions from aunties, other questions Ihate can't be bothered answering (see below), and also entertaining people who love to show-off.
You would want to think twice before asking me:
Q: "So where will you work after graduating?"
A: "I wish I had the answer. -__- It depends on what company's offering me, whether or not I'll continue on with postgraduate studies bla bla. Ask me in 2 years' time again, I might have the answer then."
Q: "Why are you going back so early? Don't want to celebrate CNY here issit?"
A: "That's because I can. Staying in Kch for too long translates to boredom. My parents would be spending CNY time with me anyways, and I'm not big on traditions."
Q: "Any angmoh bf yet?"
A: "NO, and I'm not planning on getting one".
Q: "Wa, why are you still so dark?"
A: "For your information, the sun can also be found here".
Speaking of those who like showing-off, I try my best to ignore them. These kind of people adds spice to their life by exaggerating theirs and making others seem puny. Which is a complete waste of time if you ask me. Oh by the way, knowing ministers or important people doesn't make me go "WAHHHHH, really? So jealous of you lah". You're most likely to get a "Oh. ok." or just a big fat pause (and an irritated look) from me.
Thankfully there aren't any show-offs I can find here, but there are heaps back home in Msia. That's why thinking of going back gives me the headache: the thought of talking to/entertaining them. Bleh.
I miss you flat 4 people! =(

Summer's here
Warning: Post may cause some to salivate.
The weather is so pretty today, it doesn't even feel like Dunedin. haha! Summery days like today don't come very often, 10 days the most if we're lucky. So I did the unthinkable (well, 5 years ago it would be)- I wore my shortest skirt out. ;P
Yan signed the lease today, 1 less burden for us! Mick Walsh (the agent for Edinburgh Realty) was probably quite shocked as wedemanded requested for many changes; namely a range hood, new carpets and curtains. haha!
Then we went shopping for a while to kill time before meeting up with Ms Dying Fishy aka Chyi Mei for dinner & dessert at LoneStar restaurant. My 1st time dining there, and the food was every bit good as people has said it would be.
It was a relaxing chit chat time for us, 3 girls chatting away, making quite a lot of noise I'm sure we bugged a few couples paktoh-ing next to us. haha! With all these good food, it's hard not to get fat!
Ms. Dark & Ms. Fairlady. I'm jealous of your fair-ness!
Greedy eyes.
Group pic! We all look so happy here teehee
What I ordered: yummilicious lamb shanks
What Chyi ordered: lamb
Dessert! Chocolate fudge with ice-cream & cream. *slurp*
Cheesecake w/ strawberry & chocolate sauce. Desserts served there are so RICHHHH!
No wonder a dessert plate costs $10.
LoneStar.
Not sure why I took a picture of the receipt. Could be the colourful jellybeans
We took pictures with a penguin statue on the way home along Princess St. I never noticed it there before, no idea when it got there. haha! Pics can be found at CMei's blog. Ah, the life of pigs: we talk, we sleep, we eat, we shop!
12 more days to Kuching! Packing status: 10%.

The search is over
Good news!!!
We finally found the last lucky flatmate for 2008!!!
*huge sigh of relief*
*A big applause to Yan for making the right choice* hahaha!
It truly is God that's making this possible. After weeks looking for a suitable flatmate, including posting up flyers up last week around uni, we thought we might have to pay for 1 month's rent (or more) as people are going back home and it's a fat chance we'd find somebody in time.
Then, out of the blue, 2 days ago, Kitty asked for my email address, saying Yan wanted to ask me something. At first, she asked me about staying at the new flat for a few weeks before term starts as she's staying too far away (Pine Hill) and needs to get to work. Then somewhere along the conversation, she mentioned that she hasn't signed the lease yet and would LOVE to have a look at the flat.
So we went to the flat yesterday (tenant wasn't in) and today, thank goodness there was somebody at home. Yan immediately agreed to stay with us for next year! =D
It's so ironic: now that we've found a flatmate, I've received 2 texts about people wanting to flat with us. I've taken the listing off TradeMe. =)

Food, oh glorious food!
South African food courtesy of Rachel =)It's called vetkoek (literally translated means "fat cakes") haha!
Ramon's speciality: seafood laksa
Yum. Very yum on cold (summer) days
We eat a LOT. Steamboat dinner, few months ago.
Chap Goh Meh 2008 dinner =) It was gooooooooood.So many pictures that I'd love to post up, but would take ages to upload. I might put more on facebook soon. :P
You're 19, Ron!
I've been playing about 10 hours worth of Halo 3 in these 2 days.
I didn't expect it to be that cute: little cute aliens jumping around, shouting "traitor, traitor!!!"
Hehehehe.
I even dreamt that I was the alien traitor guy (the arbiter), which I played the role of during the missions game.
***
Anyway, the results for 1 paper (genetics) came out a few days ago. To be honest, I expected better results, considering quite a few past year questions came out and I thought I did quite well for it. Oh well. Maybe God's telling me NOT to concentrate on genetics if I do the last research paper thingy.
At least Halo is taking my mind off the ugly result. U-G-L-Y, you ain't got no alibi! (Studholme chant)
***
Last but not least, happy 19th birthday to my dear friend RON!!!
I'm proud to say that you're my first Filipino friend, very glad to have met you outside the MANV101 lecture. Thinking back, it REALLY was random, sitting outside the St David lecture theatre chatting away.
Thanks for being my lab partner for biochem (to help me out when I'm completely blur on what to do next), thanks for introducing me to so many cool Korean dramas/movies, really appreciate your friendship and kindness! Honestly, you're one of the nicest people I've ever met, and also the luckiest! hehe.
You sooooo deserve the trip to the States, Taiwan, and Singapore. Have lots of fun, shop a lot (I know you will ;P ), take care, and God bless you til we meet again Feb next year for another year of Biotech and Manv lectures. =P

Facebook-o-mania
The flat is now reduced to 3 occupants (2 citizens, 1 guest), but it seems like now 2 more people are applying for permanent residency. In other words, Evan and Greg is moving in. Which makes it 4 when the aunty-who-is-staying-at-Janice's-room leaves on Sunday/Monday.
Hmm. Interesting. Very interesting indeed.
Summer in Dunedin. *insert sigh here*
Another big sigh.
First of all, summer doesn't translate to 90 glorious sunny days. It's still less than 15 degrees outside, and that's excluding the wind blasts these few days. Brrrr. Thank goodness I haven't started packing up my winter jackets yet.
2ndly, summer also means time to work. But before that, LOOKing for a job. Passing up CVs, sometimes writing cover letters, filling out application forms, then training for the new job bla bla. I've applied for McD and Domino's Pizza for part time jobs until I get back to Msia, but I'm counting on the quite-ok-looking manager at Domino's (who spelled my name as Joslin) to hire me. Muahahaha. Then I can have all the free pizzas I want! Or maybe not.
3rd. No more mahjong. I miss feeling like an opasan, sitting around the dining table, creating combos of tiles, and saying 碰!
Oh well. I shouldn't be complaining. At least I'm getting paid =)
23 days to go. Wow, the year really has gone by. This has to be one of the best years; be it the flatting experience or the wonderful Lighthouse fellowship. So blessed to meet all of you guys =)
***
Anyway. I found this on Sarah's xanga. Dedicated to all the facebook addicts out there. You know who you are.
My favourite part: "the only trouble is, Facebook, I'm wasting my life away!"
Well put, people.

Lavish dinner
It was originally meant to be "the last supper" literally speaking before the pancakes head back to Auckland today. But since they wouldn't be here for Tao's birthday, we decided to make it a pre-birthday dinner thing.
This time, we decided to have dinner at this posh, yet very laidback restaurant- A Cow called Berta. Yeap, I agree: what a unique name.
'nuff said.
Cutlery. Thank goodness the waiter took away one of the forks/knives so I'd know which one to use. hah.
My pick for the night: Salmon fillets ($34) and a glass of ruby port ($6.50)
Kitty and I. Sorry for the blur, flash would look even worse.
Even the toilet is beautiful. See handtowels and plates hanging on the wall.
That's still the toilet. Wonder what's there in the rattan basket...
chirp chirp.
So full after dinner, but the guys wanted to go to "Yuki", a new Japanese place for more food.
Found this on the wall. So cute!
The pancakes left this morning. Sigh. Flat 4 is suddenly so quiet; no more mahjong, no more having dinner together, no more just going into each others' rooms to chit chat. I'll miss you guys a lot, have fun in Auckland, and will see you all again in Kuching in December! =)

chirp chirp.Sally and I forgot to pay for our ports *again*. We went back to pay for it, and seems like the waiter, too forgotten that we didn't pay. He was so grateful that he gave us discount for the ports, so I paid only $6 for it. *teehee*

Found this on the wall. So cute!Eye Toy mania
This game has taken over flat 4, 777.
The Eye Toy!!!
The Eye Toy!!!
My first reaction when I heard about it: iToy? Another one of those Apple-ish consoles?
It's very cool, instead of using joysticks or controllers, eye toy uses its players as controllers! haha. Using a mini webcam which detects your motions and sends it to the console, of course. Such a cool yet simple idea, I wonder why no one thought about it earlier.
It's fun playing the *childish* games, but the FUNnest part would be watching your friends doing weird actions while facing the camera :P No better way of explaining it than watching it yourself. =)
I laughed until my insides hurt today. Woo, this is the life: gaming, eating good food, playing mahjong, sleeping til noon, playing again.
Looking forward to later on today. The plan: wake up close to noon, have dim sum, run some errands, shopping (!!!), then either more eye-toy or mahjong, dinner at night.
Wargh, I feel like a pig. Feel so bloated (from too much food) and my arms ache from playing too much eye-toy. hahaha!

If you're bored, or just want something to distract you for 10 minutes or so, have a look at the TIME's compilation of the Best Inventions of the Year. Cool stuff.
I'm still browsing, but so far one of my favourites has to be this: the glo Pillow.
Impressive, very impressive. Though it might seem weird lying your head on LEDs, having light instead of sound waking me up sounds tempting.
I'm still browsing, but so far one of my favourites has to be this: the glo Pillow.
Most people hate their alarm clock. That's why Eoin McNally and Ian Walton created the glo Pillow. Embedded with a grid of LEDs, it uses nothing but light to wake you up. About 40 min. before reveille, the programmable foam pillow starts glowing, gradually becoming brighter, to simulate a natural sunrise. This helps set your circadian rhythm and ease you into the day.

Big fish, small fish
The sun is out (and blaring), and someone had a crazy idea to go fishing at the harbour this afternoon after having a coffee session at Starbucks with Chyi Mei.
Rod at hand, ready to fish.
Oops, put the bait on first (we used mussels).
Make sure the line is in place.
Catch fish!
Unfortunately, 2 fishes were way to small for dinner.
We got bored, hence the photos.
New funky hairstyle?
A baby crab crawled out of a mussel! Now we know what mussels eat.
Trying my luck.
So many teeth!
You jump, I jump!
Er... maybe not.
Poor dying fishy.

Even more random: Mr. Skeleto found staring back at us from one of the flats behind.
Tired.
Seems like I can't really stand being under the sun for too long. How to go back to Malaysia end of the year?! 20 degree heat and I'm already complaining...
Lenik the menace is leaving for Chch this Saturday, so sad! She's the first to leave, followed by the Pancakes next week. We had our last flat meeting yesterday, feels so weird to discuss about canceling the weekly $20 flat fund. I hate separations. Sigh.
Oh well. Another month before I head home myself. One more month to slack, shop, and catch up with friends. Oo, not forgetting mahjong, mafia, xbox, ps2, and CS! =D
