I absolutely love this video. ZOMBIE RAAAVE!
Breakdancing skeletons losing their arms halfway. Hahaha.
Anyway, this is London E, and i'm going to see him tomorrow at The Espy! Free! Yay! Gonna drink at Ting's house first. Ahh, my first DNB gig here in Melbourne. And since I studied on the last day of school when everyone else with a social life is out partying now, i'm going to enjoy myself guilt-free tomorrow, until Sunday comes around and I again realise i'm running out of revision-time.
But The Espy really is a cool place. During Easter Sanjeev showed me the place.. It's like a derelict theatre building with a huge open concept with several rooms all done up in different themes.. And the character of the building still remains - peeling wallpaper, wooden beams and floor, booth seats etc. Very very nice place.

Rest assured (or not), I am not dead. Time has begun to vegetate at home (not like I wasn't doing that already) and study. I've got a lot to cover, and so little time. Thank the moon, stars, milkyway, etc that i've already made it in. All I need to do now is pass.
My bed, even though you can't really see it, is pimpin'. Backside tore when I bought those covers but i'm so happy with them. Chinese emperor style sheets. Complete with a new double-sized comforter. I was using a comforter meant for a single bed, plus the shittiest mf-ing pillows in existance for the past 3 months. Courtesy of the million hours I spent in an orange vest, freezing my butt off at various tram stops around Melbourne I can actually afford things now!
Autumn's ending and winter's rolling in.. Am getting the hang of the cold, temperatures of 17 degrees are normal t-shirt weather now when it's sunny. I'm getting used to dressing appropriately... But I miss wearing shorts and dresses. Whenever the sun's out you'll see me sprawled somewhere on the grass basking like a.... lizard.

Because I am genius.
I'm just going to listen to Weezer, maybe play air guitar in my underwear, and curl into a ball and maybe die.

brought to you by....
My brand spankin' new phone! Phone plans here get you way better phones.
Nokia 6500 sliiiide.
Stylo ah! Anyway....
Here's the promised update. With photos! I know I have my D80 here but I don't exactly carry it everywhere... So my 3.2mp phone camera will have to do.
As some of you may or may not know, I got a temporary job as a tram person counter. Pays ridiculously well (think $18/hr), shifts are 3 hours each. It's an unbearable 3 hours. Doing shifts alone makes me bored out of my mind. Made worse by the cold. I have to pad up like a retard, and on top of that wear my bright orange vest. On the bright side I get to see random places around Melbourne.
First day on the job... My shift was at a tram stop in the middle of nowhere (or so it looked). It was so ulu the tram tracks looked more like train tracks. Had to wake up at 5.45am to get there on time.
On the other side though..
The CBD! Where everyone was going. And where home was :(
Yes I really was that cold. I was wearing gloves too. The expression of course is nothing new. My vest has a cigarette burn because Ting used the for the last survey. Hahaha.
I myself have been chain smoking courtesy of the boredom. I plan to quit. At some point.
The next day I had an evening shift... This is what it looks like at 3.45pm at Federation Square. It looks like 6pm! The days are getting shorter and shorter.
See some banners in the background? It had something to do with logging in some other part of Australia. There were girls singing something about a possum riot. It was quite catchy actually, better than the Sri Lanka protest that happened there about 2 hours later. Unfortunately they didn't hold up any trams.
Day 3...
I finally accept that it's autumn. Ephraim says it's winter but I doubt it. Hate the shitty weather. Next week looks like it's gonna be sunny for a change so tram counting won't be so depressing.
Okay less about the job and more about happier shinier things;
Pancakes fail. But I got it right after this. And after getting pancake batter all over the stove... and my pants.
The Horn in Collingwood! Lovely place, great ambience and a fantastic resident band, The Black Jesus Experience. The drummer was damn cute. They had Ethiopian themed food and beers imported from Africa, how cool is that.
Bad photo... This place is called Seamstress on Lonsdale Street. You may or may not be able to see all the kiddy sized cheongsams hanging from the ceiling.
Right outside my apartment entrance is Carlton Gardens. On a Sunday a few weeks back I took advantage of the lovely sun and read a book while listening to Jack Johnson, and ate some strawberries and hazelnut chocolate spread. After awhile I stopped reading and just people-watched. In the 2 hours I was there, I saw 2 couples getting their wedding photos done. I'll have more photos of this place up soon.
More recently I met up with Deb and Hongqi (from TPJC Student Council) for some Thai and dessert after. We went to Laurent Patisserie which was in some lorong along Bourke Street. ALL the desserts looked fantastic. And it wasn't that expensive. I had creme brulee for $5.50.
Raspberry puree on top, vanilla creamy thing on the bottom :D
Most of the time I have lunch in school alone, so if the weather's nice I sit (or sleep) on one of the many lawns around campus. But most of the time i'm at Union Lawn.
Zzz. Was baking in the sun.
Hug mug at Max Brenner's! Had coffee with Ephraim before meeting 2nd newfound white friend Andrew for dinner. It was some coconut cream chocolate thing and it tasted larvely.
I've been here... what, 3 months already? And i've made 2 white friends. School's full of them, most of them irritate me so to actually befriend someone is pretty amazing. Andrew's been in most of my chem tutorials and ALL my chem practicals yet never spoke to him till very recently. Unlike most ozzies he's quite witty and makes for good nonsensical conversation. Now all I need to do is teach him Singlish *rubs hands together* mwahaha.
Anyway, sorry to disappoint, that is all for my big Melbourne update. I know it's not much. But i'll definitely do a proper one once I get paid. Cos i'll be buying some big pimpin' bed sheets! At that rate i'll never wanna get out of bed.
I am definitely the ultimate domesticated goddess already. I planned out my meals and bought so much food today. Found my samabal oelek (will do round 3 of mee goreng mamak), bought a taco making kit, some blue brie cheese and crispbread (SO YUMMY) amongst other things. Strawberries and apples. In an attempt to snack healthy again. It failed miserably the last time, and the past few weeks has seen me putting on a couple of kilos.
Despite that i'm making some creamy chicken pasta today (the way Aresha made 'em) before heading to Federation Square for another African Drumming gig. Wish me luck :D

mr ambulance driver
Oh you probably would've guessed it already, we didn't get the apartment. Ohwell.
My mom once said I've got good control over my emotions and that'd make me a good doctor. Well, let's see how that holds true in the next few weeks.
Okay anyway. Let's talk about the weather.
Even the news said it's fucked up! It's not supposed to be this cold yet.. Just on my birthday it was like 32 degrees.. And beginning of last week it was about 25-26 degrees. Now it's 14 degrees in the day?! And last night was 3 degrees. Eesh.
Erich the Neighbour took me out for drinks and that kept me warm, even walking back in 6 degrees was alright. We went to a lovely little sake bar, then a place called Seamstress, both of which were on Lonsdale Street. The bars here are so nice! With the themes and all.
Back to the weather. I've gone to Big W thrice in three days to check if they'd stocked more cheapo heaters for cheapskates like me. Nada. I don't want to buy a $60 heater... I don't need THAT much heat. Turns out I can actually tolerate quite a lot of cold despite my skinnyness. I just need to eat proper meals. And wrap myself in a few blankets like a cocoon when I sleep. Waking up in the morning is the HARDEST thing. Oh and getting out of the shower too.
;
Was checking how much my readership has died due to the lack of updates when I saw... THIS..
Sigh. Time to move!
I'm having a series of serious life-suck moments this week. BUT!
THE FLAMING LIPS ARE COMING TO MELBOURNE! END OF JULY! $80 ONLY :D:D:D:D
I can't wait. Not at all. I can just see myself screaming... "SHE USES TAAAAAAANGERINESSS!"
One of my favourite bands of all time. I never thought this day would come. I can strike them off my "Bands To See Before I Die, Or Before They Disappear Into Obscurity" list.

Easter break where have you gone... Despite having to go back to school today I stayed up last night with a friend watching Black Books(now officially my favourite show, Aresha you'll love it) and Flight of the Conchords till about 4am.
Woke up at 7.45am, 8am, 8.30am, left my friend's house at 9.15am, didn't bother rushing to get ready for school by 10am, skipped the new intro Physics lecture (but I was reading the lecture notes outside the theatre anyway), went for and aced my Bio mid sem test at 11am in 10 minutes, had a huge ass $4 chicken calzone for lunch and napped on the Union Lawn in the sun at 1pm, and stoned for the rest of the day.
Grah, I need a nap.

650 Swanston Street, Carlton.......
Carlton fire house... The Metropolitan Fire Brigade converted to an apartment complex. It has so much character. In the stairwells you can see the actual fire poles. It's such a beautiful building, and it really stands out amongst all the modern apartments on Swanston Street.
It took a lot of effort hassling people to apply with me today. Thank god for Geetha, she's been my lifesaver since I got here. So here it is.....
And this is exactly 2 minutes from school. It has a secure entrance too!
Each apartment has a huge length balcony that spans across all 3 bedrooms. Only 1 bedroom has balcony access (photo below) but I think that was meant to be the living room. But whatever. Whoever gets the room with balcony access doesn't get a built in wardrobe. A pretty fair trade off!
Shit. I hate making plans before even getting an apartment. But I just can't help it. I like this place better than 56 Leicester Street! I just had to ask the existing tenants why they were leaving... And selling off every last bit of furniture. Turns out they had purchased a place. But they did look a bit sad to leave. I can't blame them.
Today was spent running all over the place getting things ready and done. Did a bit of studying for Bio, which seems pointless because I know pretty much all of it already (thank you A Levels) so we just talked about everything under the sun, losing track of time and finally rushing to make it to the property office by 5.30pm before it closes. We barely made it, but getting the application in the day of the inspection is always a plus.
Met Ephraim at Melbourne Central afterwards. He was gonna cook me dinner! Wooo free food... But in exchange for sleeping in the living room yet again. He made some pretty good carbonara after complaining about the lack of crockery in my kitchen for about 45 minutes. Smoked 3 cigarettes within an hour, making up for not smoking the past 3 days. I don't know why but everytime we end up on my balcony, we talk about really deep things. Its strange. But it's good to have thought-provoking conversation sometimes.
So he's gone out and will be back later, and i'm just gonna chill at home and enjoy the remaining 2 days of my Easter Break. I won't be going for DNB tomorrow cos Ting pangseh-ed me for electro but it's cool.. I get to save the $25 for London Elektricity who's playing at The Espy in May! Checked the place out yesterday.. It was so damn cool. Chilled out at the beach too. I found a dead jellyfish and I felt sad for it. So I drew a cartoon jellyfish in the sand in memory of it.
I have lovely hands. Did you know that?

star-stealing girl
But the Easter break has been treating me well. I've made some really great friends. Gerard and Ephraim took refuge last night in my living room after being stranded in the city, ill-informed about the train and tram schedules.
We stayed up till 4am, smoking, watching them take over all my housemate's instruments (I hope she doesn't get mad), watching ads on tv about premature ejaculation treatments. Had nice vibes last night... The kind I used to have hanging out with Raushan, Dan, Vishal and the rest of the boys at Changi Village/Changi Beach/Simpang Bedok or in the car towards our latest adventure..
Had lunch with Sanjeev today! Was so nice to kick back and talk cock with another Singaporean. He showed me the Brunswick area which was actually pretty nice. But according to Jaishri it's all dodgy at night. Had some rainbow Italian gelato which was great in today's weather. I have a feeling it's the last warm day we'll have cos it's already autumn.
Met Geetha afterwards and bought more things to get the apartment more organised. I HATE mess. I hate how the toiletries are strewn over the counter in the bathroom (holder for toothbrushes, hanging storage for toiletries), I hate the mess of jackets I had in my wardrobe (hangers), and in the kitchen (another holder) but they were things sorely overdue. But anyway, I bought them all from the Reject Shop so it cost me next to nothing, until of course they were all added up. :O
I just realized I am screwed for winter because I don't have any woolly clothes or anything close to that. Oh noes.
I want to buy a ladder so I can get to the roof from my balcony. I'd love to lie on the roof, cos even in the city the stars are so nice.

risky business
It's my holidays! Finally. After 6 weeks of boring lectures and tutorials. Then again i'd just sit at home and do nothing anyway. On the upside there's The Two Towers on TV tomorrow night.
Had dinner at Erich the Neighbour's yesterday. Tacos! And it was so simple to make. Just need a blender though :/
His house had no TV. Just a really empty living room. Turns out his TV was the wall, using a projector. He left a message for a friend who owns a restaurant on Lygon Street trying to set me up for a job! Hopefully that comes through cos i've applied for a million jobs and none have called me back. Applied to every single fast food joint, retail outlet, gelati shop, you name it, i've applied for it. And i've branched out even further than the CBD, in St Kilda and Port Melbourne.
But so far things have been nice. Quiet. All I need is a job. Because job = money = social life. I meant to ration my cigarettes for the next week till Meijuan comes back with a birthday present (hehe) but from the looks of it i'll force myself to take a break for a few days.
Things aren't too terrible, am gonna visit Roti the Ferret later at Southbank. Camberwell again on Sunday! I have so little clothes its ridiculous.

a day in the life of me?
Today I made Mee Goreng. Or at least tried to. FAIL for not boiling the god damn noodles first. Also I need seafood. But it's just too expensive.
It didn't taste terrible, it was actually nice. Just didn't taste like the Mee Goreng I was craving. Oh well.
In attempt to clean up the kitchen a bit more, and also to alleviate my extreme boredom, I folded almost all the plastic bags under the sink into little triangles so it'd be easier to put them away and they'd take up less space.
I should've taken those triangles and pieced together a nice giant 'L' so I can stick it on my door.

$10 purple hobo dress
Took this when I was running around Bourke St with Joy, Meijuan and Mickey as they were shopping. The grafitti filled lorongs really make the city nice and colourful.
On my birthday it was a max of 33 degrees, and about 24 degrees at night. It felt almost EXACTLY like Singapore. Subsequently the weather's been chilly, and next week spells no more hot sunny days. Need to invest in more leggings + thicker jackets!
Tomorrow i'm going to cook mee goreng mamak. Am super excited. Still got a lot of chicken rice left over from last week (yes I cooked it) so it'd be good to have some variety. Kangkong tomorrow too.
I'm gonna try my hand at baked apples tonight. Maple syrup and hazelnut chocolate spread! Don't you wish I was your housemate? :D

what? oh... i'm 20.
It was small and lovely, and had all the people that mattered.
I was hellbent on not celebrating, but being invited to someone else's birthday surprise on your own birthday isn't the most pleasant feeling. Neither was imposing on someone else's surprise. But being some of the nicest people i've gotten to know here so far, they included me in everything. Sanjay even bought me a cake!
Ephraim dropped by after school to keep me company as I got rejected by Gelati shops on Lygon Street for jobs. And bought me wine later! He meant to take me out for food but i'd already eaten, oh well. The thought always counts. But we ended up talking for a ridiculous amount of time we almost forgot to leave on time to get to Jaishri's place for her surprise.
Got there, surprise was a success! And they brought out 2 cakes so I got a mini surprise too!
And I got to meet the singer from The Final Eclipse (previously The Suns). Sanjeev, a really funny fella I could mat-trash talk with while we played some strange game involving a tennis ball and 6 people in squares.
Reached home at about 2am with a smile on my face.

oh my.
I was conned into this. I thought it was just a drop-off of our entry forms to win a $500 Clinique hamper. I was WRONG.
On behalf of Australian men, they aren't this ugly. Just had to clarify that cos Yigang sounded so disappointed. Hahaha! But I just love these random events. I waitied 30 mins for lunch courtesy of this!
Anyway, I apologize for the lack of updates. There isn't much going on really, and I don't go out much. Save for Saturday night. I had to review a Brazilian dance party for my African Drums elective (it just keeps getting better doesn't it?). Google lied. It said it was on the corner of Elizabeth and Queensberry, which was a LIE!
Bidina and I walked so far from Carlton we ended up venturing into a very dingy part of West Melbourne. It was quiet, dark, and had all the makings of a bad horror film. We made a pact to just make a mad dash back to Carlton should anything happen.
And of all suayness, the club was just a block or 2 away from the point we decided to turn and head back. Then again, if we went there we'd have to walk all the way back through the ulu-ness at 1am.
So Joy, Meijuan, Bidina and I headed down to Cho Gao at Melbourne Central for some drinks. For added suayness, it was Bollywood night. If they weren't so eager i'd have gladly turned around and gone somewhere else. But it didn't turn out too bad, save for the music. But the crowd was nice - random lady said hi to me, I thought she was talking to someone behind me (oops), some boys invited us to Chasers on Friday (free drinks free entry woot), and I made some non-gangster Vietnamese friends. I said I was from SG and they all started speaking Singlish, it was hilarious.
My last $15 of the month was spent on drinks, and the lovely Joy bought me my last drink. I almost got a free drink but he saw I already had one. Nuts.
Walked home mildly tipsy, slept terribly because I kept having the strangest of dreams. The only one I can remember is of having a bug in my eye. And I could seeeee it. Buzzing on my cornea, freaky shit.
Ah well. Tomorrow is grocery shopping round 1, then round 2 on Tuesday at Queen Vic Market. I shall definitely have some salmon and baked potatoes. And pancakes and baked apples on Thursday! My 20th with be a small quiet one. By myself. If I don't end up spending that much on groceries I shall indulge in some sort of dessert. And use my vast imagination to pretend its something Maya baked. Haha.... :D
And I have banned myself from Tim Tams. Healthy (cheap) snacks for the win!

Ah well. Tomorrow is grocery shopping round 1, then round 2 on Tuesday at Queen Vic Market. I shall definitely have some salmon and baked potatoes. And pancakes and baked apples on Thursday! My 20th with be a small quiet one. By myself. If I don't end up spending that much on groceries I shall indulge in some sort of dessert. And use my vast imagination to pretend its something Maya baked. Haha.... :D
And I have banned myself from Tim Tams. Healthy (cheap) snacks for the win!

atheist in the woods
My grandma is so tech-savvy, she sometimes drops me a cheesy forward via email. But this one made me laugh;
An atheist was walking through the woods.
'What majestic trees!
'What powerful rivers !
'What beautiful animals!
He said to himself.
As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him.
He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him.
He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder & saw that the bear was closing in on him..
He looked over his shoulder again, & the bear was even closer.
He tripped & fell on the ground.
He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw & raising his right paw to strike him.
At that instant the atheist cried out, Oh my God!'
Time stopped.
The bear froze.
The forest was silent.
As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky.
'You deny my existence for all these years, teach others I don't exist and even credit creation to cosmic accident.
Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament?
Am I to count you as a believer?'
The atheist looked directly into the light, 'It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christian'?
'Very well,' said the voice.
The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed. And the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together, bowed his head & spoke:
'Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen.'
The end.
I pardon the cheesy font. Blogger refuses to let me change anything about it from the email except the colour.. so.. Oh well.

hiding out in holes
I need to cut my fringe. Do you like my poster? I bought the pillow from Big W... I didn't intend to buy it at first. But the moment I felt it.. SOLD.
I got my lovely table yesterday. I managed to furnish my room for under $300. Excluding Frank, the Chinese mover for my bed who wanted to charge me more than the $45 he quoted. Ugh, Chinaman.
I need to buy a chair and a printer. And a small bookshelf. The previous housemate came to dismantle her fugly table, and she heard me say that cos I had no idea she was outside the main entrance to the apartment.
I MAY need to go to Dandenong for an African Drumming concert tomorrow... Which is like a gazillion hours away in the middle of nowhere. From the street view it looks a bit quiet so I'd prefer to not go alone? Bidina is MIA again.
By this semester I want to have mastered chicken rice and nasi lemak. Then we'll move on the harder stuff like noodles.
I supposedly was going bowling today, but apparently not. Howell. It's about time I christen my new table by studying.
