MerryChristmas to all of you!! Surprisingly, this year's Christmas eve is pretty quiet for me. Didn't do much things and didn't even countdown in the club. I guess all my friends are too lazy to stuck in the traffic jam and human jam all around KL. So, in the end we decided to just spent our night at Starbucks. LoL!
Anyway, Christmas eve is not that important and my friends and I have decided to sacrifice our Christmas eve countdown for.........
Steve Aoki!!!
Muahaha....
They called him The Jesus of Dimmak coz he does look like Jesus! LoL! He will be spinning at M.O.S Euphoria tonight!I didn't even know that he will be in K.L on Christmas Day. Since I found out that I had to rush back to Malaysia from Singapore and have to spend Christmas here... I googled "Christmas eve Malaysia nightlife club"...
wweeeeooooowwweeeeettt....
K.L sure never disappoint me on this special day!! At least, I know that it will be a special Christmas night, not a normal Christmas carol songs night thingy! I manage to psycho my friends into going to see him spin on Christmas Day! Why would you wanna spend so much money on Christmas eve and listen to shitty music when you can spend the same amount of money on Christmas Day for some uberly cool electro music? woot woot!!!
I hope he spins a bit more hardcore tonight!
Heh.
P.S: Don't worry Santa, I will be a good girl tonight. ^________________________^
I hate to be here now. Especially when I couldn't spend my Christmas and New year with Kenneth. I had to rush back to KL yesterday because my PR application is running out of time and my agent wanted me to see him later on today!!! I left 6 more days to submit my PR application and I hope that everything will be fine. Anyway, I am so glad that last minute my Malaysia friend introduced this migration agent to me and he is very efficient in everything! No complaint so far.
I really don't wanna fuck my PR application up this time!!! Just a few days ago I have received the most important letter from CPA saying that my Australian degree is eligible to apply for PR in Australia! Woot woot! I can't imagine how some people can apply their PR all by themselves without the help of agent. Hmm... I really can't do this alone as I am not a really hardworking person, seeking information myself!!! I would ruin the whole thing if I would have to apply it myself. Hahaha...
Sigh... I feel so lonely during these coming festive seasons!!! I sooooo wanna be in Kenneth's arms right now at this very moment! I think I am too used to having him around and it's sad that I have to leave again! I am not sure when will I be able to see him again this time. Most probably next year March?
I hope so! I have made up my mind that I am gonna work in Singapore and at the same time apply for my Australian PR offshore. I think it's a great idea that I can spend time with Kenneth while waiting for my PR. I am not allowed to work in Perth while waiting for my PR and my parents are not gonna support me financially. So, it would be a waste of time if I wanted to stay there. What if I have to wait for one year to get my PR? One year without working?
I would die, seriously!
I do have friend who is still waiting for her PR onshore for more than a year now and she is going insane. But she is a lucky bitch! Her parents are supporting her, so she can just bum around everyday! I also have a friend who got her PR after 6 months wait, which is considered quite fast! But, I don't wanna take the risk. 6 months or 12 months, paying rent there could really kill me! I'd rather stay in Malaysia, no need to worry about anything. I am well taken care of over here! ^^
Sianz. If I can't get a job in Singapore, I would have to work in Malaysia. Sianz. Uberly SIANZ thinking about the RM currency rate! I know I will be very, very, very, very, very sad to leave Perth coz I love that place so much! I am pretty sure I am gonna fucking cry a lot of times before I fly back here.
Soon... I have to go back and settle all my shit there and come back to Malaysia for good.
The other day when I watched Twilight for the third time with my cousins, I noticed a song, a beautiful song that I had to watch Twilight three times to be able to notice it! What a waste! But... this I can explain! First time when I watched this movie, I couldn't wait to get out from the cinema as it bored me to death! After a year, I watched it on DVD with my cousin, I left half way as there's no need to watch a boring show for the second time.
Then, for the third time my another cousin who is staying at my house now, said he wanted to watch Twilight before New Moon. I watched the whole movie with him and also explained some of the scenes and story for him as I have read the story books! Towards the ending part, Flightless Bird, American Mouth was played while Edward and Bella were dancing romantically at their prom.
Flightless Bird, American Mouth by Iron and Wine
To tell you the truth, the song and that scene is soooooooo romantic and sad at the same time. My heart stopped for a few seconds when I saw that scene with that song! Ever since then, I downloaded the soundtrack and have it on repeat on my computer. To be honest, I don't understand the true meaning of the whole lyrics! I fell in love with a song that I never understood!
Here are the lyrics:
I was a quick wet boy, diving too deep for coins All of your street light eyes wide on my plastic toys Then when the cops closed the fair, I cut my long baby hair Stole me a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere
Have I found you Flightless bird, jealous, weeping or lost you, american mouth Big pill looming
Now I’m a fat house cat Nursing my sore blunt tongue Watching the warm poison rats curl through the wide fence cracks Pissing on magazine photos Those fishing lures thrown in the cold And clean blood of Christ mountain stream
Have I found you Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding or lost you, american mouth Big pill stuck going down
I have googled the song's meaning and I have read a few of them. It seems like quite a lot of people fell in love with this song and they have deciphered the meaning of this song! I am a lazy ass... I decided to just copy and paste one of my favorite meaning here.
I believe the song represents a relationship in it’s entirety, from start to finish for one person, let’s just say the guy.
The first part of the song, from wet boy to baby hair represents childhood and the loss of innocence. And feeling like you have no voice in the world.
To me, stealing a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere, trying to find the one you love, the one who could possibly be your other half. A dog-eared map is an old one. You can look everywhere, but these are the places everyone has already been so you won’t be able to find somebody who you think is special. Those places have already been looked in, and they’re not for you.
And after searching, in all the places you thought, you find your flightless bird. I find the flightless bird to mean that it’s a special person, a flightless bird, someone who has evolved from their current state (a bird) to become an exceptional, special person. That flightless bird, the special one, is jealous and weeping because they can’t find anyone to accept them for who they are, not normal.
I think American Mouth, means the ability to communicate, how the two lovers understand and talk to each other. Big pill looming I think means the future, what can happen to this love.
The second part of the song is phase 2 of the relationship, past the honeymoon stage. I think the house cat part is an analogy to becoming lazy in love, and not appreciating the person as the one who is your true love anymore. Pissing, ruining the relationship because you got too comfortable.
The fishing lures have gone cold, since you are not trying to catch each other anymore. I think the next line is where the lover realizes that the relationship has changed. I see the clean blood of Christ to means I’ve judged and I want some atonement, to reconcile what we have become.
Finally, the last part,
Have I found you Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding or lost you, american mouth Big pill stuck going down
Since in theory a flightless bird is already grounded, in general terms, the love made them feel like they could fly (at least the flightless bird) And since being made feel like they could fly, it’s lost now. But, American mouth, we can still communicate, this does not have to end, the big pill (the future) is stuck, but we can stop it from going down.
Guess where am I now? Yes... in Singapore again! I think I would be able to close my eyes and walk around the Singapore custom. hahahah... I was so excited to come here because I will be able to see Kenneth again and this time there were so many things to tell him about my Phuket trip and my PR plans.... if he has the time to listen lah coz he will be having exams this week.
Anyway, I will be meeting more friends at Zoukout this Saturday. I even have more friends who used to study in Perth and will be going to Zoukout but I am not meeting all of them. We will go with the flow and if it's fated to bump into each other, we would somehow! LoL! I think it might not be that easy to bump into your friends as this is gonna be a HUGE event. Well, I am not too sure as this is my first time to Zoukout.
Lots of my friends told me that it's nothing special, Perth's events are much better than this! Apparently, they said most posers go to Zoukout! Hahahaha... To show off their bodies, their bikinis, their this and that than for the music. But hey, I go there because it gonna be my first time and Armin Van Buuren will be there.
Personally, I do not enjoy much at outdoor rave, especially when the weather is hot and humid, it just put me off sometimes. But I think I may enjoy myself to the fullest as I have my dear and my Perth friends with me that day! How bad can it be rite?
Armin Van Buuren will be spinning at Zoukout, Singapore this Saturday and off he goes to Zouk, Kuala Lumpur on Sunday! That's pretty awesome!!! At least my friends in KL will be able to see Armin even if they don't go to Zoukout. But it is sure gonna packed like hell at Zouk, KL!!!
Happy Long Weekends to all my Malaysian friends start from today!!!! Party hard!!!
glad that you had fun at Phuket. You should seriously consider having a few days of R&R in Phuket. That's what important when we go to the beach for holidays. If you spent your time rushing then it would not be that fun anymore. Please hurry upload your pictures on facebook. I want to see.
u think i dun wanna spend more time in phuket? money is the problem! more days meaning more money on hotel, food and trips!!! so, 4 days 3 nights is for poor ppl like me to enjoy! hahahaha
I have just came back from Phuket and I have already missing that damn place! I would say that it's a trip that was full of fun, laughter, joy, excitement, mang-zhang-ness, moody, relax, exhausted, great companions, traveling lessons learned, etc. Everything has already went wrong from the beginning when we were at the airport.
We checked in early but we went to the boarding gate a bit late. The flight is 7.10 am and we reached the boarding gate at 7.04am. The people who worked there refused to let us run to our flight because they said that there's no time. HHHHEEEEELLLLLLOOOOOO.... the flight was still there and we only need 2 minutes to run there. They said they couldn't do that because it was too late. When we asked about our luggage he said they would take our luggage out from the flight.
WOW!!!
So, you could spend that fucking time to take our luggage out but you couldn't let us run to our flight? What kind of nonsense was that? FUCKING AIR ASIA! They refuse to answer my question on this though. Plus, their attitude is very bad as if we are some low class people. WTF??!! I had to purchase another air ticket to Phuket which cost around RM300 one way to Phuket. Originally we only paid around RM270 for our two ways Phuket flight. Damn it! FUCKING AIR ASIA!!!
I reckon this is how they earn our money. When we went to the counter to purchase our new tickets, there were at least 20 people who missed their flight! I kid you not! Everyone was in a really bad mood that time and everyone was complaining to each other on how FUCKED UP AIR ASIA was! Cheap airline means cheap service. Now I know! FUCKING AIR ASIA!
After that, we had to wait till 12.45pm for our next flight to Phuket and that flight delayed for another two hours. FUCKING AIR ASIA! They can be late but we couldn't! Lesson learned, be sure to be at your boarding gate 20 minutes at least before your departure time. AIR ASIA SUCKS BALLS!!! They said they have paged for our names but we never heard anything! While we spent our FOREVER waiting for our flight, the speakers inside the airport is shitty!!! We couldn't even hear what they were saying. Too soft and the words were blur. If I were a westerner waiting there, GG to the max! I won't be able to understand a single shit!
View from toot-toot!
Seriously, 4 days and 3 nights are not enough to go for day tours + night tours + shopping + food hunting + bars + clubbing + get a tan + relax + massage! NO WAY!!!! You need at least a week to be able to finish all those. We were rushing the whole time when we were there. On the first day when we reached Phuket, we had to stay in the hotel for 3 hours because it was raining cats and dogs, so we couldn't walk around.
Nice food with reasonable price @ Lair Lay Tong (Highly recommended!)
The toot-toot car sent us around Patong Town looking for the restaurant that we wanted to go -- Lair Lay Tong. He sent us to Lay Tong which is two different places. Sometimes I nearly puke out my blood speaking to them. How I wish I could speak Thai at that time to make my miserable life less miserable. Anyway, the restaurant was just around the corner and he sent us to somewhere far! But we had a great dinner that night, we have ordered deep fried shrimp with vermicelli, deep fried monk fish, kang kung, seafood tom yum soup, chicken wrapped in pandan leaves, minced pork omelette and three drinks. 6 dishes with only less than 1000 Baht! How cheap is that. You have to order the deep friend shrimp and fish, they are their famous dishes.
It was a waste that we didn't manage to hunt for seafood restaurant as we were rushing every night and for the following few nights we didn't have time to even sit at the restaurant for our dinner. Oh, but we tried the Thai Maccas! Their pork burger is superb but the price is hell expensive, I wouldn't wanna have maccas everyday in Thailand. But I was happy at that time coz for the first time their menu is not full of beef items as I don't eat beef! Pork is good!Muahahahhaha.....
Weird. Three of us had to meet up not in KL, not in Perth, but in Phuket! Hahahaha... Funny shit! We were so happy when we see each other there coz it has been awhile since we last met. Before that we have already planned to meet up in Phuket if possible. They make me miss Perth even more when they updated a lot of juicy news to me about the boys. Sigh.. I miss everyone there.
She-Male @ Bang-La Road
There are so many night entertainment at Bang-La Road and they closed at 6am! Woot! Woot! I have only manage to spend an hour sitting in the bar sipping two bottles of Chang beer. You can choose whichever bars that go with your flow! Ah gua, yes! Non-ah-gua, yes! Pretty girls, yes but be careful they might be him! Ugly one, yes! Country bar, yes! Aussie bar, yes! Clubs, yes! And many more. You want it, they have it!
We saw something really disgusting that night and it sort of gave me goose bumps on my arms First, I saw a white guy holding a gay Thai guy and they were kissing away. Euuk! Then, I saw this white guy holding a Thai girl's hand and the other hand holding a Thai gay guy hand. Double Euuk! What was he thinking? I couldn't imagine how is he gonna fuck two of them. So, is he a gay or not?
Unless.... He likes threesome with two guys and a girl... Hmmm... But I swear that Thai guy is a gay! If he is not, I would be able to accept that.
I fell deeply in love with the beaches there. So beautiful and the water is crystal clear! At that time I really thought of staying at Phuket forever and have a relaxing life till I die! Hahahaha....
Fantasea Park. Nothing special. But if you like nice sculptures, you should go and have a look as every building is unique and special. Besides that, you will be able to enjoy a 1 1/2 hours of performance with comfortable seats, nice sound systems, great costumes and stunning effects!
Maya Bay @ Phi Phi Island (where they filmed The Beach)
Canoeing. Best to have only yourself in one boat. Better and more fun
.
James Bond Island @ Phang-Nga
Simon Cabaret. 40 Baht for each of them for photo taking.
Overall, I will give a 7 out of 10 for this Phuket trip. At the beginning I thought I wouldn't enjoy it that much as I have been there with my parents a few years back. But this time I went there with friends and the experience is so different from traveling with parents. There were so many things to learn during our stay in Phuket. It felt like my first time in Phuket!
One day, I wanna go there again. This time I will stay for a week. More photos will soon be uploaded to my Facebook account! I am just too lazy to upload those more than 500 pics. Let me recharge my energy first. =)
If you are interested in booking day tours in Phuket, here is the person to look for -- Note. He is friendly and all his tour packages are reasonable. He will provide great seatings for Fantasea and Simon Cabaret Show.
Patong Cheery Travel & Tour (Highly recommended!!!!) Mr. Puttachat (Note) Mobile: 086 3674337 Mobile: 087 6243662 Email: naranong_2524@hotmail.com
Addesss: his stall is at the junction of Rat-U-Thit Road and Sainamyen Road. Opposite Family Mart.
>>>PLEASE IGNORE THIS PERSON OR THIS TOUR COMPANY<<<
A&M Tour
Their name is Aui and M. They are not sincere as they promised to bring us around Phuket the whole day for sight-seeing. In the end, he only brought us to places that he could get commission and petrol expenses from and refused to bring us to anywhere. They even dropped us off at the airport 2 hours earlier just to get rid of us. When we were in the car asking him to send us for sight-seeing he chose to keep quiet and ignored us. So, be really careful of these people in Phuket! They are fucking evil!!!
Congratulations on your high achievement in IELTS and finally you have nailed it! It's sad to know that you are facing another problem. Was it that hard to apply for Australlia PR? Most of my friends tend to get it quite easily. I hope you get what you want in the end. Try to workout some backup plans just in case you can't get your PR. What are you going to do?
I have received my new IELTS results and finally I have passed everything!!!! Listening -- 8, Reading -- 8, Writing -- 7, Speaking -- 7.5. I couldn't believe it because this paper was more difficult that the previous one. I felt like screaming out loud in joy when I received my results at IDP office this afternoon!
I couldn't believe that I had to sit three times in order to get all 7 for every components. The Australia government is really smart to set up this rule as so many people failed and had to resit over and over again! Luckily I didn't take the IELTS test in Australia because it costs around AUD300 (RM900), but it only costs RM550 if you sit in Malaysia. Save a lot of money if you have to resit.
I sent my second paper for a remark because I only need 0.5 mark in order for me to fulfill the all 7 requirements. In the end, there are no changes to my mark and to tell you the truth, I think that this whole IELTS tests thingy are simply bullshit and the government just wanna earn money from everyone. Imagine how many people are taking this test? How many people who have to resit the test? How much are they making from us?
Just when I thought I have settled my biggest headache, another headache appears. Apparently my agent said that I didn't fulfill that two years study period in Australia. I was like what the fuck man??!!! (Of coz, failed units are not counted.) But even if I don't fail, I would have studied minimum two years for my Accounting degree. I asked before I enroll for this freaking course.
But my agent said that the way University calculate two years and the way immigration officer calculate two years are different. For University, they calculate by how many units that a student are allowed to enroll and it was two years for me. As for immigration officer, the way they do it is by calculating my credit hours and how many exemptions that I have been givem, divided by this, plus that, minus this....
blah.... blah.... blah....
Suddenly... my eyes turn black and I could not see anything at all!!! I couldn't help but think...
DO I HAVE TO FUCKING WAIT TILL I GRADUATED THEN THEY TOLD ME THAT I DIDN'T FULFILL THE 2 YEARS REQUIREMENT? WTF!!!!! WTF!!! WTF!!!! OF ALL THE PAINS AND SUFFERS THAT I HAD BEEN THROUGH FOR THIS ACCOUNTING COURSE AND NOW YOU ARE TELLING ME THAT I DIDN'T FULFILL THE REQUIREMENT?
FUCK YOU!FUCK ME!
SERIOUSLY....
I'M FUCKED!
