My new Desk

2008-03-31T01:32:00.001-07:00

In a few days time, which is next Sunday, the Time line will change from 3 hours difference to 2 hours difference !! i m very glad because 3 hours difference is quite alot and i cant chat with my family at the right time and all.. when i can chat, they cant coz it's 9am here and it's 6am there... or when they can chat, it's time for my bed... 2 hours will make quite alot of difference... From what my friend said , the time keep changing when the weather and season changes... =.=

I received my LCD monitor few days ago, and it's really good, i can see small things in my work and i feel that my school work really improved... :) This is my new desk...

The smaller screen is my MacbookPro, with Tokio Hotel's Bill Kaulitz in it and the larger screen is my Dell LCD with the Twins, The Veronicas...

When all else fails, i will watch shows like desperate housewives or LOST.... so that i can observe lots of ideas and use it in my design... that's why watching shows is very important as you grab more and more stuffs from it, learn more not only from enjoying the movie... no matter what movie it is, it's all worth it ..

And of course, i didnt buy all of those, it will cost me a bomb, i borrowed some from my Friend...

Aunty Jolynn invited me over during the weekend, i guess it wont hurt to go .. hehe... in a few more weeks or even DAYS time, my sister hsu pei will be coming with Jong Tau and Ann gee will also be coming.... and den few months time mom and dad will be coming to settle the apartment thingy... wow.. and jUNE I am going back home... for my holidays !! weee

i am very excited about the time changes... hope it comes really soon !!

take care all
LOVE YOU
Bryan

Bad Hair Day

2008-03-27T05:43:00.001-07:00

It is Freeeeeezing today, SO freezing that i woke up around 5 times during my sleep, my feet were stone cold frozen, coz it's 9 degrees today and it's just so cold, but it is better than being Hot... haha.... So today i woke up at 1.30am,3.20am,4am, 6.50am, and 9.30am.... i get prepared for class and *PoOf* a Thunderstorm started... it rained heavily and i need my umbrella...

The wind was strong and it blew everyones hair till it is so tangled up and... everyone here has bad hairdays except for the balds... Lecture today was a tutorial, the students were divided into 5 teams and each team receives an object, ours is a measly little cloth, and we need to Sell that object as creative as possible.. So we thought about ideas on the ways to use it , like putting a rock inside the cloth and swing it like a weapon, or using it as a filter where you pee on it and it filters the dirt and clear spring water will come out ... or even using it as an extra handle when you are in the tram or the train.... the rest of the groups were having a piece of rock, an umbrella, a sticky tape and a macintosh mouse...So after that class ended and i, Ivan, and Amy went downstairs for a cup of coffee while i ate a plate of lasagna for lunch...

Soon after that we parted ways, i walked to Sanity ( A music/video store that i always go ) to check on my order status for my Desperate Housewives Season 3, and apparently it arrived and i forgot to bring my vouchers here, so i had to go back to my student hostel, grab my 10 dollar voucher and bought it for only 55 bucks, with another 2 vouchers, one is a pair of tickets to the movies worth 30 bucks and one 5 dollar voucher... that's what i like about Sanity, they give alot of good services and alot of junks and freebies...

After getting what i wanted, i went to the saloon to get my hair done, i am sick of my black hair and i need to change it, and my hair was getting long and untidy, especially when the wind blows, it makes me look as if i just woke up .. So i dyed it Redish brown and the hair dresser gave it a cut.... I love the color on my hair, it looks so rich and classic, but the hair cut was ugly... anyway i will fix it later on...

When i got back home, i found a slip underneath my door, it was from Dell.

When i was out, they were here to deliver my LCD Monitor that i ordered, and they didnt give me any notice or calls, so i need to make a delivery date and they will be coming tomorrow ... between 9am and 5pm so i need to stay put in my place just in case they arrive...

I need to change the place where i put my printer and all that coz the monitor will be a large one and i am afraid there wont be much spaces for the printer... maybe when i get my stuff, i will go to bigW and get an extra table... for my printer..

So that's all there is, there isn't... anymore!!
Thanks for your time reading bl0ggers!!

Love you lots
Bryan

Happy Birthday

2008-03-24T20:45:00.000-07:00

Happy birthday to Me...
It's my 19th Birthday and times flies..and my DS was spoiled, i brought it back to the shop today to change it, unfortunately, they do not have any black ones anymore, so i have to choose another color, and i got a white one... The reason that it's spoiled that it gave a very funny sound when i On it... it's not normal and it's more screeching... i wonder why...

Then i got home with my new DS changed, i on it and it gives the normal sound back again, and it asks me to change the date to todays, which is my birthday, i changed and i reset it, and i on back again... and the sound came back.. the screeching sound.. Then only i realized that i've changed for nothing, the sound changes when it is my birthday.... what the?

I went for a lunch by myself, had a bowl of fruits and a plate of rice with eggplant and minced meat gravy on top... after eating i went to Big W to buy my stuffs, like the sprayer so that i can iron, and also went to the Art shop to buy a color wheel because i need one for my reference... I cannot wait to see Hsu Pei and Ann Gee, sometimes i just do not understand why do people live in the suburbs, is it because of fresh air? All of my friends stays in the suburbs and it is difficult to find them because it's the... SUBURBS, which is far from the city ... Edwin and his girl friend set sail to Sydney today.. Good luck to them...

I wont be free to online today, since i have assignments to do, but i'll keep in touch, i hope i can experience something amazing to blog out here... hehe...

Take care

Bryan

Desperately Desperate

2008-03-22T17:52:00.000-07:00

I've been doing nothing but watching Desperate housewives these few days... it's Easter and all shops are closed, i want a decent meal also cannot find, restaurants, malls, grocerry stores... 80% closed... all i can eat are fast foods...and i do not have a good kitchen to cook, or even try cooking... Really dislike the way other people live in my hostel... they shout in the middle of the night, they put the TV to the maximum volume, and they talk as if they are deaf, shout here shout there especially those blurdy china girls that talk as if it's public... from my room, i can hear them, i cant sleep, i cant do anything, they are DISTURBING ME.... they seriously need to have an apple in their mouth.... these trashes..

I've been kinda lazy, slept like a piggy coz i cant sleep early... tomorrow i will start to get busy doing my assignments...my hair is growing longer and longer, i want to cut it but i dont want to because i need it to cover my ears... lol ... but in the end i will cut coz it will look untidy...

Hope that holidays ends soon... so bored... just wish that there are no holidays in between the semester, just finish studying and give us a large holiday will be better, coz we cant do anything with 1 week... want to go home? no... want to go out for tour when there are so many assignments? no .. want to party? for me no... it's just pointless and complete waste of time, sleeping is the only thing you can do, and sleeping waste time as well...

I am so bored that i dont even have anything to write coz i've been doing... NOTHING, going... NOWHERE... my friends are all in the suburbs for god knows why, and there's no point going ALL the way there just to meet them...and there's no point for them to come ALL the way here to meet me...

I'll stop here.... i am going back in June the 24th for my one month holiday, and lots of thing i would like to bring here...

Cant wait.
Take care

Bryan

Happy Easter !!

2008-03-18T03:18:00.000-07:00

My holidays started.... i was'nt thinking what to do, i was'nt thinking where to go, i was'nt thinking about my assignments... i was thinking how can i survive my boredom... why have holidays when i do not need it and why there's no class when i need it ... i just do not get it ... haha... but it seems that my friends will be coming down to town and we can have dinner together...

Recently i got REALLY interested in the German language... i do not really care about how people think how bad German is .. about adolf hitler and the nazi nazi what ever... german is a beautiful language, and so is the french language, i would really want to learn it if i have the chance since i am learning French now...and i'm learning it from the german songs from Tokio Hotel which is my favourite band... understood a little but they way they pronounce is like so difficult... Übers Ende Der Welt is pronounced this way '' Youbars AndThey De Zah Voult '' which means the end of the world....

Today was a very funny day... luckily today's weather was freaking good ... so i guess it was nice and cool.... not like the past few days... but according to the forecast i check everyday, tomorrow will be scorching back again.. damn that sun... but the whites seemed to LIKE it ... how could they? omg ... perhaps we malaysians are so exposed to Sunlight that we're so SICK of it... ^^

Classes today started off very lonely as Amy and Audrey overslept, i was alone and the teacher was showing us charcoal arts in making in an animation.... i really dislike fine or life drawing... why do we need to learn it ? i thought foundation's basics was enough... we're supposed to be more into Communication in Design.... but guess every1 has to go through it ..

After lunch we went back for our next session of class.... and the both sleepy heads came and it's media design now... The lecturer was just teaching us about Adobe Illustrator... and using the mac to do our internet details and all those stuffs...

So... when class ended we went back home.... i suppose to go to Edwin's to get some shows from him... unfortunately i didnt manage to get the lost from my other friend.. so i can only watch finish my damages and edwin's and get some japanese anime, although lost total interest, but it's the only way to go through my holidays.... hmm... and just got some american dramas like gossip girl and lost which is the 4th season...i want heroes to come back T-T

Went for sandwich again for dinner at Subway...

this is a 6 inch Italian Herbs and Cheese bread with Meatballs and lots and lots of lettuce,carrots and pickles with some honey mustard sauce and ceasar sauce, 6 inch!! OMG..... i tried eating 1 FOOT before, i can't finish, but i just stuff it in.... i ordered a fanta orange drink since i am sick of plain water.... just want some soft drink for the moment.... i enjoyed the meal, i have been eating subway for a week now... one for lunch and one for dinner... and i'm not sick of it yet.... coz i feel that it's well balanced in the nutritions and it's healthier and it's just 3.75 bucks for what i ate ...( 6 inches )

Ok i'm off with my dramas.......

Take care all !!
Love you lots

Color Mood

2008-03-17T01:17:00.000-07:00

What's your Color?

Blue ? Red ? Green ? Yellow ? Pink ?

Colors are the first thing that you see when ever you open your eyes.... today i felt relaxed because the day after tomorrow we have a 1 week Easter Break holiday, so... today we needed to Rush our assignments... the worst thing is .. i CANT use my internet!! i Managed to call my friends about our research about color moods.... i am so sick of Collage.... REALLY SICK... i've been making like 8 pieces of work using collage like what lecturer wants us to do, i'm not really good with handicrafts and all that and i bladed my finger like cutting fish.... it's swollen and it's getting better day by day... i just hope i have the power of spontaneous human regeneration like Claire in Heroes.... so we were told to make 8 pieces of work, all abstract and no picture images of anything or even the shape, and no typography.. just Colors.... using colors to show a mood or a presentation... first we need to make a female and a male infant, den a male and female teenager, den a male and female adult... ok.. finished that... still have 2 more... Color Mood.... make a color mood choosing a theme... my theme was Love Dream and Sour-Ness....so i made it really sour.... but i am happy with the results, just hope the results smiles back at me the way the lecturer did... HEHE...

Today we drew naked woman again......ok..

Sorry i do not have any pictures... HAHA.....

I just bought Damages the Tv series which i found it REALLY interesting !!! it really makes your adrenaline go right up your brain, with WORDS... Award winner Glenn Close ( Cruella De Vil ) lol plays a very successful lawyer that is trying to bring another one down, with the help of Rose Byrne which did very well for her law and was accepted to Glenn Close's associates of law..... i've just watched 5 episodes so far... and it's really interesting...... alot of talking, but it makes alot of sense... since it's about law.. there are some parts where i do not understand..... =.= all those money terms just makes me annoyed and confused... but i try to understand because there's no subtitles in the australian DVDs.... hehe.... my friend will be lending me LOST and i'm gonna spend my holiday time watching it.... ^^ But i wanted her desperate housewives.... T_T but her bro lended his friends... I think after hsu yi watches Damages she might not wanna be a lawyer.. muahahaha ..

K la ... i wanna watch damages already..... so itchy my eyes...

Take care all.. and sorry for not posting any for the past few days coz my internet was busted and i was really freaked up with my assignements..

Happy Easter !!

Love,
Bryan

Build a Bear

2008-03-09T05:40:00.000-07:00

Today's a tiring day, went out with Andrew to his house in the Suburb called Clayton. It's a very peacful suburb that have town houses and all sorts of asian groceries stores... We took the bus to Chadstone and went into a Large shopping mall to walk around... it's a very interesting shopping mall since it's just two floors but it's like 2km wide, most of the shops are boutiques and i guess girls will definitely love it ...There's myer, david jones, jb hifi... eb games.... etc.

But just this ONE shop that makes me think.... Denise ( maybe ) and Beatrice ( surely ) will definitely LOVE it....

It's called... Build A Bear !! :

What's Build A Bear? It's a shop where u make your own teddy bear !! Yeah, from step to step...sorry about the picture because the shop was closing since it's rather late... but i managed to get in for a few snaps...sisters, have a look, perhaps you would like to make one when u guys are here.. IT'S very expensive by the way.. =.=

These are the steps andrew told me, coz he made it before i guess or maybe he enquire.. :

FIRST STEP :

Check and find your teddy bear, which ones look cute for you, there are many types, as a first step.

SECOND STEP :

Choose the voice you want when you touch the Teddy Bear's tummy !!

THIRD STEP :

Take a Heart and make a wish, put it into the Teddy bear and the machine will start making your teddy bear!!

FOURTH STEP :

The Teddy bear will be placed under this to take a Bath and then brushed up nicely till it's coating's sweet and clean..

FIFTH STEP:

BUY some accessories and clothings for your teddy bear!! Looks nice but it's freaking expensive!! So make sure you get just one first and next time you'll just get another for your teddy bear!

FINAL STEP :

Pay for your Teddy Bear and get yourself a Teddy Bear Certificate. Your Bear is now borned... =.=
All together a Bear might take up to 70 bucks and plus accessories, another 30 bucks so minimum purchase is 90 to 100 bucks.. just for a Teddy bear... wow...

So after that , andrew and me went to the Melbourne Water festival and enjoyed a Fire works display...
We had dinner at the Dessert house, and we parted ways..

Today's a tiring day...
Gonna dive into my slumber..

Take care, and good night!!

LOve,
Bryan

Last day of my First week...

2008-03-06T02:37:00.000-08:00

Today's the last day of my first week !! Woke up at 9 in the morning and had a cup of Tea and a banana for my mini breakfast, and off i am to class... once enter the building, i saw my friends Amy and Audrey, and surprisingly, the first guy that i met with, Ivan... went over to them and started chatting... Chat and chat untill 10.45am, there's no lecturer coming in... and students began to go out and never come back, the class was empty and something weird is going on... Ivan went to ask @ the helpdesk and guess wad? class cancelled and there's no notice for us.... Mad isn't it ?

So, the four of us, went down to Melbourne Central to a restaurant i've never been before, it's called Bremmers i think, i can't remember the name and Chocolate is their specialty, everything is Chocolate... i was thinking twice whether i wanna go in, coz i'm not really a big fan of sweet stuffs, but in the end... '' Just try lah ... '' hehe... so we went in, i ordered a waffle with this ice cream, and they have their homemade chocolate smudge and syrup on top, it's warm, plus with the ice cream, it's delicious.... i cannot believe it... Amy had a plate of large juicy strawberries and in the middle, they gave this warm thick melted chocolate where you dip the strawberries into the melted chocolate and eat it, i tried one of hers and it's so delicious, although the chocolate is fat free, so there's no sugar, it's slightly bitter and thick, but with the strawberries so sweet... muah* Magnific !!

So we chit chatted till 12.30pm .. waiting for our next class at building 12... we had Theory and History of Design, the lecturers were pretty lame ... trying to make jokes only they can understand...and the whole lecture was about only the lecturers, that's right, the 3 lecturers were just telling us about them, where they study and where they work, what they like... come on la this is a class we dont wanna know more about u except your name that's it, dont waste my 3 hours of sitting down there listening about your background story and ur mother father grandmother etc...

after that , i and amy took a walk around Melbourne since it's still early, and we need to head to Edwin's place to buy his old magazines...we went to the library and used their computers... mac again...crapness... and den... at 4.30pm we walked down to edwin's place and wanted to pay but he wants to give it free.... thanks edwin.

So at night, edwin invited me for dinner at his place, His girl friend ei leen cooked with another friend Sofia... and the tauhu was delicious, :D on my way i bought a wine for them coz going empty handed ain't that nice ya.. hehe ...

I had a nice day, it was tiring but it's worth every second except sleeping....

Take care !!

Bryan

Forced...

2008-03-04T16:40:00.000-08:00

Gonna make this short.... today is a wonderful day, not hot, not cold, nice and warm... yesterday's was wicked coz of our lecturer... forcing all students to get a mac, because he said design is more for mac, it's kinda true, but not all of us are rich... all computers used in RMIT are apple mac based computers, and lecturer needs us to get a mac for ourselves to do our work at home, ok... if cannot he said share one... But the worst thing is that he does not let us use pendrive for our work, he wants us all to get an ipod, at least an ipod shuffle, because he said that he does not want any damages caused to all the computers here, since something like that happened before... and there's like so many text books he want us to get, and also ..... we need an extra large inch monitor, because he said that designs need large screens, so that it's easier to see and easier to design... i really don't get it... but i heard from others that it's actually better...

Graphic Design is one of the most expensive course among all courses....

There's nothing left here anymore...

I'll blog later if i have the chance...

Cheers,
Bryan

Never been so Wide Awake ....

2008-03-01T15:46:00.000-08:00

I'm sorry to blog something that happeend yesterday... Anyway i'm going to blog it as if it's yesterday...

Today, Eric and Maylee are bringing me to the Melbourne Motor Show International.... at 10.45 i waited for them at Seven Eleven.... they arrived at 10.55... after that we went for a late breakfast at Queen Victoria's Market.... met up with Eric and Maylee's housemate and also 2 of their friends... After our breakfast... we head straight down for the exhibition by trams...

We have to pay to go in... luckily i have my student card..... 4 bucks off.... so it is 14 bucks for my entry ( once ) ... outside the exhibition, there are lots of antique cars.... those old old ones we normally see in old movies... haha.. pretty nice... the que was long and there are 3 counters... but we managed to get our ticket and we walked in the exhibition hall.... once you're in there.... it's just CARS EVERYWHERE..... and PEOPLE EVERYWHERE.... I never expect it to be like so large.... compared to the ones in Malaysia, you'll just see crap cars ....

When we first walked in , the first car we saw.. it's a Bugati Veyron :

pEOPLe are all over the car... it's so difficult to get a picture... i was lucky i managed to knock the kids away... HAHA....
and guess what that is more unexpected....... a proton booth... =.= yea.. as in the Malaysian Proton cars >.< , not even 1 person care to open the car and go in and have a sit coz it just looks so lousy ... :D but i was surprised to see a proton, makes me feel like home .. hehe....

there are SO many cars i cannot show you all, from Peugeot, to Volkswagen, Land Rover, Mitsubishi... too many.... i'll just show you the famous few.... hehe ....

Lining up for free Volkswagen ice Cream... HEHE.... delicious... :

how did the cow changed into a car? well Lembu Kini, lol... you'll get it :

But from all cars i've seen here i like this one very much , a Toyota FT-HS, it's so Cool.... wish i have this one :

After all those walking.... we're tired and exhausted.... for me i am very tired and my legs are swollen because the day before today... i went out with Andrew the whole day walking as well..... so got a little cramp, but i force myself to walk because i don't wanna slow others down... and i am still young.. i cherish my legs well, i walk while i can.... and i do not want to end up in a wheel chair... so the more i use my legs, i'll get healthier in a way... hehe.... Do you realize why i went out ?

I am not interested in cars.... maybe a little if the design is unique and all.... but to tell you the truth, remove all the words from all cars in that exhibition, and i only know the model name of Proton persona, and Gen-2.. :D but i feel this experience is really interesting, and i do want to go out even if i'm not interested in cars, because staying in my room all the time will only make me more homesick and bored, so why not get some fresh air and walk a little ? hmm.... So after we went out from the exhibition all, Eric and May Lee's friends parted ways and we went to Franklin Street's AVIS car rental shop to rent a car because Eric and May Lee needs it for tomorrow.... we got a car and we went to Big W.... they need to get a Heater and so do i but we can't find any.... and after walking around , off we go to Richmond !! a place where the Asian dock themselves... hehe.... alot of Vietnamese restaurants..... Eric and May Lee wants to buy alot of things since they have the car for a day... hehe.. so we went to an Asian Grocery mart, i got myself some jellies, Sultana Biscuits and an Umbrella... and waited for them outisde the mart... when they come out we went straight to their house to rest for a while...

MayLee made me a delicious cup of coffee.... and i watched TV while waiting for May Lee's brother and girl friend to come over and we'll be heading out again for dinner.... they came around 7.15pm and we went out at 7.45pm to a special Italian restaurant which is very packed because the food's great and cheap in a way...

We ordered fried Squid, a seafood pasta , a pizza and a plate of potatoes with pasta sauce or something like that.... the food is good indeed.... but the portion was H.U.G.E..... one small pasta can be shared with 3 people...=.= for 9 bucks... hehe... After that we had dessert, a lemon cake, and then chit chatted till 10 something and it's time for me to head back.... Eric drove me back... and made sure i entered my apartment safely... =.= and they say my street is pretty quiet and dangerous at night... I went in my room, and on my MSN as usual.... i can't '' cannot online '' in a day.. i must at least surf the internet or chat with friends.. it's like my daily routine... like a '' something u must do in a day '' thing... hehe..

I onlined till 1.45am.... never been so wide awake...

And slept till now...... 9am... woke up.... and onlining again..... waiting for Edwin to come over... hope to see him soon..

Cheers all !! Love you lots..

Bryan

2008-02-29T02:38:00.000-08:00

Hello guys.... once again i'm updating my blog..
Ann Gee's boyfriend reached my place at around 11.45am this morning..... went down to greet him, he gave me a pack of peaches... thank you... haha...

Off we go, straight to the NAB, national bank, den to repair his Tag Huer watch.... after that we just walk around the big city.... and ate a full lunch at the Red Roosters..... pretty delicious...it's like KFC but it's actually roasted chicken... so i guess it's healthier....

I watched Jumper with Andrew today... coz the whole afternoon walking will be tiring, so go get a movie will be nice... the whole cinema was empty... only me and Andrew... hehehe.... the movie effects is great... amazing... but i really do not like the ending...

After that we went to Myers.... ( some sort of Isetan , but higher class hehe )... den to JB-HiFi..... and on our way to China town... we need to pass through Melbourne Central.. we saw these guys.. building something... went near and they are actually building a sand castle in ... the mall ? haha... :

And in another angle :

So after that we went to walk around China Town, and ended up eating Malaysian Food pulak hehe....

First time out in town till late night... I'm tired..... 0.0 sorry, can't blog much about today.... hehe...
Thank you marvin for getting me the TTDS, thanks dad for the TT....

The rest of you, take good care of urself... dont do anything silly and make sure you study well marvin and beatrice...

Bryan

The most important of life's battles is the one we fight daily in the silent chambers of the soul.

2008-02-27T22:37:00.000-08:00

Another example of my day....

Today, i have an orientation to attend in my campus, i was rigidly excited since i've been doing nothing these past few days, so i wanted to see how things are in campus. Woke up early in the morning at 8, on my msn and made myself a Milo again, for breakfast... So after washing up, took a brief chat with Eric through MSN and i take my step out...

One step out and i was standing there.... like a stone ..... thinking '' Oh god it's Freezing ''

I need to head right back to my room, grab my jacket and i have 5 minutes to rush to my campus... and i got there in time.. Started off pretty silly, alot of introductions and all... just for 1 hour, 10.30 to 11.30am .... orientation ended.... =.= i was like WhAt? what can i do after orientation? I took a walk, went into an Asian grocery shop, got myself some chopsticks since i do not have'em.... and a Chocolate Milk for Lunch...

I went home and started onlining again...added Andrew ( Ann Gee 's Boyfriend ) to my MSN, and we're going to meet up in the City tomorrow..... he's a friendly guy and he talks ALOT... had a great time Msn-ing mom and dad today.. around 3 hours... hehe.. or even more....Deciding to return home during my June Holiday because most people will go back that time and there's basically nothing to do here unless u're a shopaholic.. :D

I went to the Thai restaurant at Elizabeth street.. reminds me of the time when dad is still here with me in that same restaurant, eating together... i teared a little while eating my tom yam and fried rice.... no one was there, the weather was cold, and good food just turns bad when you feel extremely lonely....the restaurant was Silent and i dont feel warm in there..... So... to freshen things up and make sure i do not think negatively.... i'm happy that i've a bunch of people back home that loves me, and care for me, so i guess i'm very lucky.... and i went for a walk around melbourne central, so that i wont be overly homesick... haha....

So that's all there is, don't think i'll be too lonely tomorrow, since Andrew here talks so much.. haha...

Cheers All....

Lots of love, Bryan

Interesting ?

2008-02-26T23:48:00.000-08:00

Is my blog THAT interesting that it can actually moves you ? Hahaha.........

Welcome everyone, again, to my blog. Today i'll be just writing down a few stuffs i encountered today... I woke up early in the morning, rather than having Juice, i made myself a milo for a small breakfast because i will be heading down to Bourke Street today and meet up with Eric and Maylee again for lunch.... I need some fresh air... so i guess going out is the best medicine. Since it actually releases my home sickness and stress...

Eric drew a map for me which is pretty funny.. haha.... since i do not know how to get to bourke street... =.= and it turned out pretty easy !! :

We had chinese for lunch, so after that, May Lee went back to work and Eric brought me around for a while.... Thank you for bringing me around...

After that, i walked around the city and bought myself some food and a mini kettle because it's kinda hard sharing 1 small kettle with like 12 people here? Everytime i boil the water, and take a rest to wait for it to cool down, i come back and someone uses up all the water... so i get one personal one so it's easier for me to drink.... But from what i see... my room mates use boiled water for only cooking, for drinking? they just take their cup and drink it from the tap water... from what i heard, it's clean, but still, better not take the risk.

I went to my campus today to proof my citizenship in Australia, this is the ground floor of my campus, there's 4 elevators and it's called the lobby.... :

It's pretty modern ... i have my orientation tomorrow morning, hope i can get some friends... :D a girl friend i hope... haha
After that i went to another campus that has ''THE HUB'' which is a service Info for all students to proof my citizenship... :

The Que was pretty wicked, it's like half a KM...... it doesnt look very long in the picture but from my view, it's like from yuhua primary school to yuhua secondary school.... and it's a QUE... :D

So after getting all things done, i went to Melbourne Central to buy.. dumplings again, but not fried coz fried is slightly unhealthy... so i bought steamed dumplings... one thing good is that you get very cheap dumplings when it's 5 o clock, it's only 4.80 AUD for 12 dumplings... and you can eat it for lunch and dinner.... wow...

About the topic...... people cry when reading my blog? i didn't know that it was SoOoOo TOUCHING...well ok.. it's normal to cry, you wont be normal if you actually dont cry... A '' si zai bao '' like me can make people cry, very geng oh.... :)

Hsu Pei '' xie xie '', thank you for reading my blog, i miss you alot too.... When you were in New Zealand, i felt very sad as well because you're so close to us, playing with us, bringing us around, splashing your face with water when you can't wake up.... i love waiting for your hand-written letters because it always makes me feel warm again and sending back letters on how you spell '' jie jie as xie xie ''... I wanna tell you that, you're always been my inspiration, i was inspired by you when i first saw you designing The Simpsons poster, it was amazing and i was like '' how did you do that ? '' From that day on, i got interested in Art.... and now i'm on my way learning to be a designer, who knows? One day i'll open a chain of restaurants... HAHAHA..... but what does it have to do with design? =.= Don't cry so much ah... later Foo Jong Tau scold you '' sam pat '' again... :D All you have to know is that i love you ^^ I can't wait for you to come over during April....

Lonely

2008-02-25T20:48:00.000-08:00

Dad woke up pretty early today, in fact he doesn't need my alarm... So after scribling some thoughts, sadly i need to wake up because today's the day i start to grow up. . . . .Today's the day i become lonely, and Today's the day Dad leaves me.

I felt really bad but yeah.. this is life, sooner or later i'll still need to spread my wings, What i miss is the presence of actually having someone beside me, all the time i never experience being '' REALLY '' lonely before, well i do , last year in my hostel , but at least there's Friends.... but for this time? Nope, it's the solitary type of lonely where people around you is just not the people you actually see, or talk to, or even love.... People you see here are just strangers. '' hi, good morning , bye, good night ''

My Hostel here is pretty lousy, there is it's good ways and there are also it's bad... but from what i see here is that the bad is more than the good :P The security here is very very low and people can just walk right in and out and leave without a trace, There are people here with Master Room Keys and i cannot guarantee my stuffs in my room will be still here when i go to school perhaps... But i am happy that it is very small and things wont get lost easily, and the place here is pretty cold when it's cold out there... still.... i prefer one which is Lousier but at least with maximum security..... So far Dad got a 87 Franklin street apartment...so that my whole family can stay in the apartment rather than staying in the Hotels here.. which are VERY expensive....

Dad left at 6.15am, with a taxi that's already waiting downstairs....it's pretty dark and gloomy, windy, chilly and misty... Gave dad a hug and it's like '' hop '' into the taxi and drove away....

I took a walk after having an early coffee Msn with Mom at 7.20am just now..... and bought back some food and instant cup noodles ...after coming in my room, i look around and it's like '' where's dad ? ''.... again... EMO... i crawled to my chair and started weeping a little, den i need to REALLY focus and think the positive way, or not i'll never learn.....

I went for a takeaway at the Melbourne Central for 10 ( huo tie ) - Chinese FriED Dumplings, and ate 5 for lunch, and now i'm waiting for dinner to eat the other 5.......

Oo..... let me give you a tip, i bought something black and shiny, comes with a pen and it has two bright screens......

So currently i'm playing that ** so ..... yea and skyping as well ... Hope i can find a job to repay what i bought ... buahaha....

Dad, thank you for coming here with me, i'll do fine, please take care of your health and be strong.

Love you all always..

Cheers,
Bryan

Coffee

2008-02-24T02:37:00.000-08:00

Why Coffee? Dear readers, thank you once again for coming in my blog. Today, i had a wonderful day, sis's friend , Eric and his wife May Lee brought us out for a slight tour around Melbourne. Very Nice of them. First of all, Thank you Eric and May Lee for taking your time showing us what is and what's not. :P

Woke up early this morning, 8 a.m to get ready to meet up with Eric and Maylee. at 10.10am, I made Milo 'Gao' for myself and for dad for our morning breakfast. After that, we head right down Anthony Street. Oh yea, a picture of the street i stay in, AS promise, haha :

Oooo pretty scary huh ? Yea, dangerous for girls to walk on this street. . . heard that it's haunted... Buahahaha

Oh, where am i ? hmm ... Ok, we head right down Anthony street and turn to our left, there's a bench and dad needs to rest. Couple of minutes later, we walked down again and we saw someone waving at us. Oh !! It's May Lee !! =.=
They showed us so many things today. From sitting trams all over to Brunswick, Lygon, King's, William, Queen's, Elizabeth And mostly Smith street. First of all, we needed to get Winter Wears, Eric and Maylee took us down to Smith Street that sells LOTS of Factory Outlet clothings, and mostly branded at a VERY affordable Price !!

I bought a Windbreaker, a Fleece Long Sleves, a Toque, and dad got a Sleeping bag, from all sorts of brands like Nike, Adidas, Timberland, Mountain Design, etc. I bet Denise will like it here !!

This is Dad, Maylee and Eric resting on the Bench on the Smith Street tram stop. waiting for our tram :

And this is Maylee. Eric and Me while dad sits down and take our photo.... :

After all those hustling in and out of various shops, we got little tired as we used up all of our energy, it's time... FOR LUNCH!!
Eric and Maylee told us about the Brunswick Street which is REALLY famous for Greek Food. So they brought us to a Greek restaurant named '' The Real Greek Souvlaki ( Kebabs ) of Tasty Lamb & Chicken Gyros ( Kyros ) '' , it's located on 315 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy. We took the tram there and Oh.... take a look at the place :

I ate a Chicken Salad Gyros Souvlaki ( Means a Chicken Kebab ) while dad had his Mixed of Lamb and Chicken Kebab, and Eric, a Lamb kebab, and since Maylee has a small stomach, she ordered a delicious beef pasta lasagna. The kebab is SO LARGE, it took me like more than 50 bites of 30 chews EACH bite to finish my kebab. I can't explain how big it is, but you can guess :) it's as big as a plate. As the serving here is prety ALOT, so it's kinda normal for the people here.

I took a picture while walking pass the food :

Hmmm yummy.... makes me feel hungry... hahaa.... would like to bring my family here when they come over......

After that, we head down to Swanston street...... where shopping is the main activity here..... THere are lots of famous designer items here, from Prada to Louis Vuitton to Channel, and SO much more..... :

This is me, Dad and Eric on the side of the street :

And it's Dad, Maylee, and Eric on the side as well :

After all that.... we went indoor to Melbourne Central and had a delicious CUP of coffee at Gloria Jean's :

Speaking of Coffee, the coffee here is so amazing. It is so delicious, that you'll never forget how addictive it is.... it's so Smooth and it actually losens your throat, and buying coffee here is like a takeaway, everyone needs a fresh start drinking coffee, either to work or to study or even relaxing. In Malaysia, the Coffee here Is lousy, for example, Starbucks, it actually tastes like CRAP for RM11..... i don't mind spending RM11 for a 3AUD coffee here, coz it is REALLY worth it. You all MUST try the coffee here, tastes so great, you'll NEVER let it go........ :P ( something special ) and oh... the Starbucks here, it's different, as in BETTER.

We had Gloria Jean's Coffee in the Melbourne central. Which is like a mall in the CENTER of Melbourne :

So basically i am done here, i'm tired of typing and i hope to see my family once again. My dad's leaving the day after tomorrow, so i hope i wont cry again...... haha.... I love all of you all, things will gradually get better, i'm almost settled, i hope you all wont get worried about me..... All the best to you who's studying ! All the best to those who's Working, and mom, love you always !!

Best regards. * Cheers *

Wings to Soar

2008-02-23T02:12:00.000-08:00

This is my first post for my new blog. Hello everyone. Hope all of you guys are doing great. I've just arrived here ( Melbourne ) on the 19th of February 2008. I didn't get to sleep well on the plane. It's just pretty uncomfortable. Air Asia really sucks but i have NO choice because of Late Applications. So the day before i left, it was really sad, i hate to leave my family but i think it's time for me to leave the nest.

Mom and me were like holding hands in the car on our way to the airport. I was deeply saddened. Tears came rolling down my cheeks because i am so close to her. I really love her and i'll always do, she's the best thing that's ever happened to me in my life. Of course i do love the rest of my family members. Especially Marvin, Beatrice, Jin-Song, Hsu Pei and Jin-Yen that brought happiness into my life, showing me around, going out for Mc.Flurry, eating in restaurants together. I'll certainly miss all of those times. I love all of you. These are the pictures before i left Malaysia :

Dad, although sometimes you can talk ALOT, as in ALOT. But i know there is Always HAVE a reason in your words. I respect it, and i thank you alot for always being there with me, solving my financial difficulties and so on. Without you i do not think that i am here right now, perhaps i would be working as a salesman, you brought my future for me, to actually understand WHAT'S OUT THERE, thank you Dad, Love you LOTS !!!!!!

Me hugging mom for the Last time ( for the moment ) :

Look at Hsu-Pei's face.. it's so RED... love you :

Owh beatrice is here :P :

My Whole Family :

Denise ''xie xie'' and me again hehehehe :

Me and the Boys ( Jin Song Jin yen and Marvin ) :

So i am OFF..... Good bye Malaysia, and Hello Melbourne.
My elder sis ( Denise ) will be coming over that's what i heard for her Honeymoon with my brother-in-law ( Foo Jong Tau ). But i don't think my apartment here is big enough, but they can come to see it, if they want i don't mind them staying with me. Sorry for posting this a little late because i do not have the internet till now. Mr. Eric which is Denise's Friend will be bringing me and Dad around to buy some winter clothing tomorrow.

Dad made an apointment with a housing estate agency, for the 1 bed room apartment @ 87 Franklin Street. Which is REALLY near to my University. And it's the same apartment as Edwin's. And it's a single room apartment. My dad came with me to Australia since i never travelled alone before......

Anyway... i'll keep all of you guys updated. So do not stop reading !!
Love all of you ALWAYS.

Cheers,

Bryan
