a good haircut day

after lamenting that my friend has bad hairstyle, my sister suddenly asked me to go have a haircut. okay. since it is near and free, might as well hop on.

i think this haircut will put my mum to faint if i to cut this all the time. i manage to convince her by saying this hair will not last long because my hair grows very fast. for friends who know me for life, i bet this is the first time me doing this right, right?

please say it looks like a spider web rather than a pakua like my mum. 

blogger is feeling good.

post christmas

it has been 3 days since christmas passed by. quite a good one. a bag from my brother. i have already expected it. for my siblings, we have a ritual which we do not tell each other what we are going to buy for each other. and since i have been lazing around the house whole day. while cleaning, i accidentally saw a parkson plastic bag. when i look inside, it is brand new bag pack. for an instance, i thought "is it a new bag my brother buy for himself". then, the light bulb lighted. AHA. it must be my christmas present. and from my sis, a belt and wallet. what i got for them? eau de toilette, which is literally aromatic waters or layman term puts it as perfume. it is what i saw for bargain during my flight from sydney back home. 20% discount is sufficient to push me to go for them as christmas present. something unique and classy for the first time.

today, the wind blows strongly. the situation that best fits how strong the wind is, is after sweeping the floor for ten seconds, i can see dust and particles on the floor. oh great. the chinese new year wind is here. i am looking forward to my trip to Taipei. weeeeee..... it has been so long since i last travelled to new zealand. and i might be able to meet a friend there. nice. bus ticket from malacca to lcct: bought (so awesome that malacca central decides to operate a direct bus service from melaka to lcct. kudos Transnasional) . the last thing left to do is prepare a luggage bag. the truth is, i have not unpacked my luggage because my cupboard is too small to fit my clothing in addition to my CNY 2012 clothes. so, what clothes comes back from sydney stays in the luggage. weird but true. i have too many casual clothes. and the thought of changing my whole closet comes to my mind before packing in sydney but my guilty conscience takes over me.

according to a men's magazine, for a young working class, it is time for me to drop the label and go for simple T. a thorough search in my wardrobe reveals a childish part of me. i have lots of printed T shirts. still, let's see how my consumerism behaviour changes when working starts. for now,i think my wardrobe is good. enough to be the trendy working class. =) do not get me wrong, i do not go for expensive labels. a simple Giordano will do for me. i am not the type to go for AX yet. perhaps in the future.

blogger is tinkering with the thought of bringing his travelling book along. so far, it has travelled to 2 countries. it has to go further and hope it doesn't end after the third. the blogger hopes santa will treat him good and brings him a samsung galaxy wonder phone. pretty please. i need it.

the most wonderful time of the year

it is definitely the time of the year that i cherish the most. christmas. wheee..... presents bought and wrapped. cards written and sent! though i leaked my intention to send a card to a friend because i need to confirm her address. it was meant to be a surprise just like how i return back home. turns out she had an expectation i will be sending her card. cheh! you are taking me for granted. i shall not send you next year. =)

and the television shows and movies adds warm to the season by spreading the joy of christmas. all this years,christmas=holidays=eat=family=mahjong. no difference in comparison to chinese new year but with christmas you had gift exchanging which to me, is more meaningful that the cold hard cash. it is true with cash, you can buy the things you like but with gifts, thoughts have to be put into the buying process. it adds virtues of sincerity and heart into it. unless one just recycles the present.


while some believe it is a time to be spent travelling, i personally would prefer stay at home. it is the time of the year to get together. people are spending less time with family members in my opinion. there is nothing wrong in pursuing one's dream but in the process, be reminded that family should have a placing in one's heart. i am not sure what i am crapping about. time to end my post.

oh, i visited midvalley megamall yesterday. the christmas decoration is awesome. it takes the theme of fairy tale which has garden and stone poles. good good. unfortunately, yours truly has no camera at the moment. not a fan of photo taking.

blogger is off running to help his mum in the kitchen to cook chicken rice.

irony

the irony of general fellow malaccans leaves me unimpressed. what are you doing? driving on the fast lane at tortoise pace. where goes the community spirit which encourages understanding and logic. driving in melaka puts my adrenaline to a high level.

been running errands like nobody's business. grocery,medicine and prayers stuff. then while surfing through my friend's new food blog, i chuckle when i saw the statement where blog will be updated every 1st and 15th of the month. if you go according to the chinese calendar, that will be the date my mum will specifically buy fruits and pray to my home altar. hence, the similarity lets me wonder why is the date chosen. i am quite certain he is not that pious. but i do know my friend is working hard on his food blog. personally, i am not a fan. give facey. reason being it only talks about melbourne food outlets. besides, i can't see the relevance to me. yes, the word "i" is very important nowadays. if the readers can see no relevance, your blog will be forgotten. considering his is one that aspires to be featured in food blog of the year,i think he has long way to go.

the thing i like is the joke section. short and funny. some have been read ages ago but for new reader, it will be worthwhile. i have no inspiration to join top blogger, i just want a medium of expression.

i feel a bit guilty for not liking the blog. because if i subject to liking it, i feel i am not honest. for compensation, i have listed the blog under my blog list. take a look if you are/will be in melbourne for a food adventure. ohhh, my friend will be undergoing an european trip as well. catch him at drew's travel foodprints. alas, ciao.

blogger feels that he is being very critical to other blogger as he believes if you want to start something, make sure it is done good, or else, don't do it.

ding dong merrily little on high

you heard of this? no? me neither. i have no idea the title while this song is being played on my lappie and vehicle music player. all i know it makes me feel soothing. of all the christmas carols i heard, i prefer this best. though the lyric is a bit odd. it has the same element like "good day o' mate." and the lyric itself has the two words of 'ye ringers'. that is totally odd. but i think christmas songs are created centuries ago and some stand the test of time and their accents remain. good. i like how it sounds. though i have trouble searching for the song and singing along.

blogger in christmasy mood. he find it odd that certain people have started playing chinese new year songs. he is thinking of playing christmas song during cny. but the oddest is the fact the blogger likes the carol which seldom people notice.

for the very first times:

last week has been hell of a week. considering from last wednesday till yesterday wednesday, i did numerous stuffs that can be considered crazy and exciting. for the very first times, within a week i:

worked a fruit picker, nectarine to be exact

~the place is quite secluded. but i stayed beside a lake. perfect.

crashed three different friends' houses, 2 in sydney, 1 in melbourne. i am becoming house crasher. not too bad at all. it gives you the taste of backpacker. hopping here and there. on the way to my friend's place, i saw a crowd surrounding the glass cabinet. christmas ornaments.

travelled on train from sydney-melbourne and melbourne-sydney.

~ the view is spectacular. unfortunately, the journey was not all bed of roses. on the way from sydney-melbourne, the train broke down. i got stuck in the middle of nowhere for 2 hours. and the train backtracked to the previous station ( how cool is that for a backtracking train). and took a bus and reached melbourne at 2am. total journey period: 19 hours. my butt was sore to the core. yet, it was memorable not the least. talked to my friend all the time. the silver lining out of this is that i got refunded for my ticket. thus, i traveled for free =)

brought june in december to visit around sydney.

~a friend has stopped by in sydney to have a look around. actually, the main tour guide is my friend, look. i am just the third party/light bulb. haha..... something is going on but i can't be too sure. her mum was here. hmmm... is it time to meet the parent? ohhh....while touring around sydney, i kept eating and eating from chat thai to sweeties paradise plus pancake on the rocks. all in all, i was stuffed as all the food was munched in a single day. and all these have made me gained 3 kilos.

surprised my mum when i told her i was to come home on 22nd December but in fact, i planned to reach on 6th December.

surprised my friends who were reading this because i am back to Melaka now. For yumcha, karaoke, and movies, please contact my mobile at 016 648 1228. 

bought my christmas gifts for my family. 25% off at international airport on the day i visited. plain awesome. and i got myself a ck spray for 14bucks. bargain.

the greatest event of all, i caught a glimpse of rainbow in the plane on my way home. a sign of welcoming me eh?  

feels great to be home. in two days, i have "telan" durian, wan tan mi and Hassan mi goreng. time to pester my mum to fulfill her promise to make bak zhang for me. 

ohhh, and i have cleaned my room for Christmas as well. december has been off to a great start. for those who celebrate, merry christmas. just in case, i am too busy swimming on the table.
