Life of A Man (Joseph Vincent)

i refuse to believe the fact that i was back in Brisbane for a month already.

and for a month, i abandoned my blog.

i am not sure if i am glad to be back in Brisbane but I miss my parents and my sister dearly.

It feels different not having them by my side, not eating proper meal and not commuting by car any longer.

I am usually reminded that there is sunshine after rain....and after a storm, the sun will shine again. It may take a few minutes later, a few hours or even a few days but it will happen eventually. I might be seeing my sunshine soon for everything went pretty well lately. Despite the occasional ups and downs, I am handling it way better than before, for experiences make a person wiser.

I know my parents are checking my blog regularly and earnestly waiting for my updates. They aren't using skype and I couldn't see them visually for 9 months. It sucks and i miss their faces badly. So, here I am, back in my Blog.. stuffing as much pictures as possible to let them know I am doing great here. So worry less about me and be healthy back home.

In fact, in three words, I can sum up everything about my life: "It goes on"

rural awareness trip to maleny, sunshine coast.

lectures in a cinema-like theater.

the loser punishments. (outing with my pharmacy coursemates)

Korean International Dinner, we won ramen!

i am not sure if anyone realize, but my circle of friends is changing. For better or for worse? I could never figure that out, only time will tell.

and so, that simply sums up my one month in Brisbane.. and though it was more than that, I am just too lazy to upload the pictures in my blog.

Till then, I shall return to this blog real soon (I hope so)

Long Road (W-inds)

i am back in Brisbane for my 3rd year.

i felt lonely without the company of my family and my buddies back home.

well, that's life i supposed.

everything has a new beginning and an ending.

right now, it's another new journey.

it's going to be an extremely long tiring road.

if only i could fast forward everything...

You're the best of my life (Lee Hyun)

i am flying back to Brisbane tonight.

it had been 3 months since I was back in early December.

i came home with the feeling of betrayal, lost and skeptical of everyone around me.

But after 3 months, i am leaving home today as a new person with the trust build by my family and friends. A friend is indeed one who believes in you when you have ceased to believe in yourself.

my summer break in Malaysia began with a 3 days 2 nights trip to KL. it was so short and brief that I earnestly yearned for a longer trip with them. During that brief period, my mind was free from worries and laughter didn't seem fake at all. Sincerity brought the joy in friendship.

despite being so drenched out from the earlier KL trip, we challenged our bodies for a cycling trip in the forest. Though we wasn't exactly cycling due to exhaustion, I knew I was having one the best time of my life. I learnt that best friends are like diamonds, precious and rare while false friends are like leaves, found everywhere.

I met with my childhood best friend and I knew her since I was standard one. Both of us skipped Standard Four together and that's how our friendship blossomed. I couldn't agree more that the best antiques are old friends.

There is nothing half so pleasant as coming home again. Words could never described the comfort of seeing your parents and sister. Those familiar faces assured you that you are safe and well taken care of. Home is where the house is.

My dear sister who is a friend and defender of mine. A listener, a counselor and a sharer of delights and sorrows too. And seriously, the best thing about having a sister was that I always had a friend and I was never left alone.

No matter how far you proceeded from your starting point, the heart still misses the beginning of everything. Though we left school for nearly 5 years already, the familiarity never changed from the ringing sound of the school bell to the teachers who taught us.


Just when i lost faith in friendship, I found the true sincere ones who love me for who I am. Who stood up for me when I was betrayed, lost and sad. Who showered me with hope and love. I am thankful to be surrounded by amazing family and friends. I promised that with my return to Brisbane this time, I will be a different person, a more mature and a more forgiving one. A more independent one and most importantly a more optimistic one. Though it will not be easy, but I know my family and friends will be there by my side throughout my journey.

Final words for my high-school friends, "If all my friends were to jump off a bridge, I wouldn't jump with them. I will be at the bottom to catch them."

Goodbye my home and Malaysia, I shall see you again in 2012. =(

Really Really (Dalmatian)

I really wanted to attend Beast concert badly. Really really badly.

Lost in Love (Dalmatian)

revamp my blog with my very first hand-drawn banner.

named it quirky buzz because i am a fan of quirky fashion, though i never rock the fashion well.

i decided to keep my blog as simple as possible because I desperately wish my mind is as simple as that, just like an innocent child.

Sis is leaving this Sunday and I felt lonelier than ever.

Could I freeze the summer breaks and never return to Brisbane?

團圓飯 (178 Reunion)

Beautiful (B2ST)

As CNY is just a few days away, I can't help feeling happier than ever. Explicitly delighted, ecstatic and intoxicated.

1) Did i told you I won THREE cds and not one? THREE Cube Entertainment CDs, specifically B2ST. OMG. total OMG. I might have downloaded their songs already but winning something you love is an unexplainable overjoyed feeling, way better than having a boyfriend. Liking B2ST since late last year is bringing in so much luck into my life and I might stick with B2ST for a pretty long time. My lucky charm.

2) Unplanned but I ended up meeting 8tv personalities in Malacca. Though they are not the hallyu stars, but seeing someone familiar in the TV with your own eyes delivers this pleasant satisfaction.

3) after back for nearly 2 months, i finally had my all-time favourite dipping food, sate celup.

4) my pre-order from Yes Asia arrived way earlier than I expected, sweet surprise and I'm absolutely pleased that i bought it. No regrets.

5) Korea is famous with the so called bromance (the close friendship between boys, as if they are a couple) and I have my sromance too. Couple specs, Couple shirt.

On, yes May the year of Rabbit bring endless luck and wealth to everyone too. And with each passing moments, Lets embrace the Chinese New Year with a brighter, joyous and colourful Future. Happy CNY! Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Hello (Shinee)

Say Hello to Duffy, from HK Disneyland!!!

Black & White (G.NA)

the annual reunion with my maternal cousin.

but our reunion ain't complete, without the other cousin who is studying in Edinburgh and the other one in India.

and that's exactly how much we grew up.

******

my favourite solo artist (G.NA) released her new album, Black and White yesterday. And thanks to her, 4 minute and Beast, I won a CD from The Breakfast Show NTV7 by participating in the slogan writing. What an awesome way to officiate 2011!and thanks to her title track, I discovered the coolest app in Iphone 4. One freaking awesome, FREE photo app that i enjoy tremendously. Be prepared for the worst.

Bye, there goes my image.

but honestly, I don't care about my image any longer after being ruined by my dearest friend, Siang several times. =)

Black and White Rocks!

Special (B2ST)

stay at this page till the picture moves.

Are you irritated with the moving pic? Lol. I was.

Currently, I'm trying my real best to learn guitar.

Good news: I could play Jingle Bell now

Bad news: My fingers are in pain and it's only the chorus I could play.

I'm being pedophile lately, all because of this Guitar genius. How I wish I was six years younger.

p/s: I am lucky and fortunate that my house in Brisbane was not flooded but Brisbane will never be the same again after the flood. Hereby, I would like to convey my heartfelt sympathy to the victims of the flash flood. May the ordeal ends soon and Brisbane returns to its sunshine state.

Rhythm of Love (Plain White Ts)

Whenever my fringe is up as below (due to the unbearable hotness in Malaysia), mum claims i look like Hwang Tae Kyung in You're Beautiful drama. Very funny, mum.

unkempt sloppy me

p/s: Thanks to the Kecoh ones, No one is as capable as us to produce 211 comments within 3 hours.

Hello Hello (Jang Geun Suk)

I miss my friends tremendously and if it wasn't for my sis, I would have rot back home. At the same time. I am mortified by the fact that I am 21 this year while my friends are 22. Could you imagine that in a few years time, we will be graduating, working, getting married, giving birth, driving our dream cars etc? Time really flies. I do not want to grow old. Stay the same forever and it would be a sweet pleasant dream. Unfortunately, idealistic world does not exist.

And if you are wondering have i abandon the greedy pig in me, I am truly sorry but NO. once a piggy, forever a piggy and in shen's dictionary, that's simply the joy of eating.

Today My Life Begins (Bruno Mars)

here i am, in the year of 2011. a year after a year and amazingly, it had been 5 years since i left school. and yet, within these five years, i experienced more than i ever had. Step by step, leaving the adolescence world and finding the courage to pursue adulthood. and last year, life ain't a box of chocolate at all, tears and sorrows accompany me all long. As quoted in Bruno Mars' Song, "I wondered If I'd ever heal again, just like all the seasons never stay the same, all around me i can feel a change, I will break these chains that bind me, Happiness will find me, Leave the past behind me and so Today my life begins."

And if it wasn't for the support from my family and friends back in Malacca, I would not have hurdled through 2010 easily. Thanks to them, I felt love and sense of belonging. And because of them, I knew I am not alone in this world, in fact I knew I was the lucky one to be loved. And so, for the year of 2011, i promise to ditch the bad behind with a whole new world awaits for me, "Its mine for the taking and I know I can make it, Today my life begins."

since my last post or since my sis was back in Malaysia, I was so preoccupied for the past two weeks, travelling to Putrajaya, Muar, Kuala Pilah, KL and celebrating friend's birthday, Xmas countdown and New Year Countdown. i blame no one, but myself when i put on endless weight.

one of my best old buddy in Malacca, Siang's 21st birthday. Thanks to Onn's extraordinary, astonishing, mind-blowing and fascinating handmade book, this dear friend of mine shed priceless tears on her birthday.

as I am the only one studying in Australia, while the rest studying abroad in north or in Malaysia, reuniting with my whole group of friends seems impossible within these few years. we may seem rather small currently but I am certain that in a few years time, we will be 'one' again.


Popsicle that I miss so much, the cheapest ice-cream and yet the one I missed the most while I was in Brisbane.

kawan baik tersayangku dalam hatiku,

cheesy ain't it? oh well, at least my Malay ain't that rusty yet. The awesome two who brought so much laughter, though I only had a few weeks with you guys, you both deserve a lifetime memory in the brain of mine.

and secretly, i miss my other three friends tremendously too:- Jyi, Darlynn and Eunice.

the so-called transportation that i miss dearly: Bicycles. and thanks to these awesome friends, this desire came to an end. I am an official big time loser when it comes to activities that demand energy and stamina. I lack of both, and I struggled like a mad woman, cycling up the hill, across the forest.

being a kid has no age limit, and being a kid occasionally makes you laugh. But well, obviously you need friends who is willing to tag along your childishness. I found mine, no I didn't, more like they unleashed the child in me.

The seamless childishness worsen when the sea-saw was further manipulated as a weighing scale. And the Winner takes it all, the pride specifically.

and nothing could end this post better than a candid picture with a simple smile that friends carved on your face. precious.

I My Me Mine (4 minute)

i am, one happy child.

with

1) a brand new striking red laptop

2) sis's arrival in Malaysia this Wednesday

3) B2st releasing 4 new tracks tomorrow with a prolonged version of my favourite song of theirs " Lights Go On Again"

laughing and smiling have been so easy lately.

till tonight, i am currently replaying five songs in itunes;- prettiest friend (jason mraz), udon ( by dong woon and davichi minkyung), like a star (taeyon & the one), i my me mine & what a girl wants ( 4 minute).

thanks to B2st, i am now addicted to 4 minute too. they're hot. sizzling hot and i somehow find myself drawn towards their songs easily. i am not so 'into' girl bands because i hate girl bands. exceptionally, 4 minute impressed me pretty well, with their vocals and sexiness. hell yes, if you are guy and you do not salivate upon watching the video, you're sick cause even i, as a girl drools over them.

Creating Love

Creating Love (4 minute)

my last post from Brisbane in the year of 2010.
yes i am boarding the plane tonight and i will be home tomorrow morning.
i did a horse book for miranda, it turns out pretty amazing. What do you guys think?
Lame story, i know but it's for a five year old kid.



Perhaps i should have considered kids' cartoonist as my job instead of pharmacist.
Till then, i shall be blogging from Malaysia instead. See YA!

I'll be Back

i'll be back (2pm)



am i blogging a little too often lately? sorry, my bad.
i am TOTALLY excited right now for the fact that i will be back home this Friday. yes, on a plane, across the sea and cuddle myself on my own bed on Saturday morning. WOW, hard to believe but it has been a year. time flies amazingly fast.

my updated playlist (28th Nov)

hey sis, if you are reading this post, please please i am begging you to play the video below. It features MA JUN, yes my gu ma jun from baker king. damn, i miss his incredible acting so much and sis, please do bring the other two cds back so i could stalk on him again.

Nothing could be more pleasurable in a music video when you are feasted with everything you wanted:- amazing vocals, incredibly good looks, sleek attires and pretty actress + my favourite actor, Joo Woon aka Gu Ma Jun. pure indulgence and fan-girling. am i too old for fan-girling?


1) Miss You : SM Town Ballad

2) First Snow, First Kiss : Yo Seob B2ST and Daniel Dalmatian

3) I like you more than anything: B2ST

4) Love again: Kyu Hyun SM Town Ballad



5) I'll Back Off So You Can Live - G.NA

damn, her vocals totally gave me those goosebumps especially when you are blasting it loudly on earphones and i can't stop replaying this song for her impressive vocals and also the lyrics itself which somehow affected me slightly. it feels as if the song was written for me. and everytime i listen to it, it pierce right through me. Shall i quote the chorus here?

(I know) you probably got a lady,
(I know) you probably got sick of me,
Even though the tears are rushing to me
I'll Back off so you can live
That is all I can say
I'll forget you so you can live better
So that you'll be happy without me
The love that you tossed away, you can take it
Don't even leave a trace behind and take it all
Don't even say you're sorry
Don't worry about me

6) Growing Pain Theme Song : B2ST (sorry no mp3 version, in fact i had to rip it from youtube video)

Angel

Angel (by Super Junior)
What would you feel if you come home everyday and discover lots of drawings under your room door?
i find it cute.
extremely adorable.
and that's exactly what i am experiencing right now.
the small kid that i am living with will always slide her drawings under my room door.
random but it just makes me smile seeing cute surprises when i am back home.

and this giraffe would be my favourite by far.
seeing her just reminds me so much of my childhood. i even actually watched 'Barney' with her, one of my favourite cartoon way back time.
and sometimes seeing her just reminds me that i have grew up a lot.

and so i decided to drew something for her in return.
honestly, i had not drew for ages.
and you are so welcomed to laugh at my so called masterpiece.
well, it is meant for a kid so it is meant to be a kiddy drawing.

she told me she love horses and i decided to draw one for her.
i am 'so' laughing at my own drawing now.

So Today

So Today (Ft Island)

after much hassle, i settled down in a small new room. nothing fantastic about it, but warm and cosy enough as my shelter for my 3rd year as a pharmacy student. in fact, i am renting a room from an Australian mum and living together with her and her 5 year old daughter. it feels different to be in a Caucasian home and living with someone whom you hardly knows. And honestly, i hope i make the right decision and will not regret about it later. the house is filled with Christmas decors and kids drawings which makes it really warm and cute in a way that i really enjoy it somehow. The landlord has two dogs too, a jack russell breed and another brown dog which i fail to identify the breed because it hardly moves. Thank goodness they are small because i am not really good with animals. i adore them but i am afraid of them at the same time.



i am bored to hell staying at home alone, my friend who rented the other room from the same lady was out whole day accompanying her relatives from Malaysia while my other friends are either back in Malaysia or on holiday. i am practically stranded alone, watching movie, stalking people on facebook and playing some war games which i am being defeated repeatedly. pffft. and worst part, i have to do all these again and again for a week till i board the plane back home on 3rd December. and seriously, why no Korean bands releasing mv at this time when i need some entertainment the most?!!!??!!!



pardon me for my boredom but i am scrambling back watching more and more movies. and if i happen to put on lots of weight for gluing onto the bed most of the time watching movies, don't comment me when i am back cause i know i did. thanks and i'll be back blogging nonsense real soon.

Lights Go on Again

after the long hiatus, i am finally back with my blog. i am done with my second year as a Pharmacy student and hopefully it would be the official end of it. how depriving the year has been. and after all the shit i been through, it just feels surreal that i actually survived through this depressing year. life is great as for now (except for the searching house part) and i can't hardly wait to be back in Malaysia, reuniting with my family and my good buddies back in Malacca in which I assumed have changed tremendously - physically and emotionally. and most importantly to brush up my driving skills, guitar-ing skills that have never gone better, and hardcore watching korean dramas.

as i spend most of my time lying on the bed recently, listening to music and doing nothing (true bliss indeed), it came to me that i have so many good things in my life which i overshadowed it with all the trivial shits that I had. I have the best parents, the most awesome sister, 'kecoh' gang back home in Malacca, iphone4, sony cam, ipod, Hugo Boss orange perfume (thanks to roomie as my birthday gift), tonnes of clothes, shoes and bags. Though i used to hate my small eyes so much ( as my friends always questioned me the same thing regarding my small eyes: "The things you see izzit smaller? is the building shorter in your eyes?"- NO NO NO!), i start to realize the coolness of having smaller eyes. Though not electrifying like the huge sexy eyeballs, at least i have been mistaken as a korean for so many times in my life. I adore Korean girls for their beauty and to be mistaken as one of them even by the Korean themselves, it's a true humble honour.

(my greatest fetish over guys in uniform- drools..........)

current addiction owned by B2ST boys.
with tonnes of boy bands in Korean industry lately, there is hardly one that I would actually extremely fall for apart from my craze over DBSK during high school . there are so many new bands and i personally feels it jeopardize the music industry slightly but i should probably change my perception now as B2ST is seriously one of the best band of all time. six amazing boys with most amazing vocals, body, and humor. and the best way to judge a group's talent is through their live performances, not mv.

i am so owned by the hot rapper. and since it has been part of my habit sharing great Korean songs in my blog, i shall do it now too. listen to those songs and i bet you guys will enjoy it if you have the same 'laid-back' taste like me.

1) Lights Go On Again - B2ST
2) Beautiful - B2ST
3) Women...Know - AB avenue ( the girl in the mv is extremely gorgeous)
4) I'm going crazy - Seven
5) Angel - Super Junior
6) Tell Me Your Love - TRAX
7) It Hurts - 2NE1
8) You won't answer my call - 2am
9) I'll be back - 2pm ( no matter how much i dislike this band, this song gets really addictive)
10) W0W0W0 - Shinee (jonghyun's voice is real gold)
