Got some weird Pringles from Giant supermarket today. These three Pringles have these taste: grilled shrimp, the blueberry & hazelnut, and soft shell crab.
From the first impression, I can tell that pink pringles are a havock.
This peculiar chips are not the usual chips that you see. First of all, it's pink in colour; and second of all, it doesn't look like a potato chip, it looks more like a piece of cotton-wrap-pink-candy...
And it taste... well, like a prawn. Although a bit salty. So it's a potato mixed with candy mixed with salt and perhaps mixed with some food colouring to give its antiquely pinkish look.
And now, here comes the most stupidest idea of all - the blueberry and hazelnut chips. What the hell is this? What is wrong with the universe?
It's like eating fried chicken, and it taste like fruits. How did people come out with these nonsensical ideas? I'm eating fruit instead of chips.
And the soft-chell crab... well, nothing wrong here. It's pretty good. However, it tasted more like a chicken than a crab.
Oh wow... This is so bizarre.
And Japan... is out of the world cup... (sad sad sad)

Very Sleepy
It's just so weird; I'm on my holiday, and yet I'm lacking of sleep. A holiday is suppose to be a time of relaxation with a great deal of slacking running along side it.
So how could I be very sleepy on a holiday? I have not had a 12-20 hours of sleep when I got back from Perth yet.
For instance, I woke up at 7:50 am today, when I slept at 4 am. That's only 4 hours of sleep. This is madness. I figured this was because of the world cup that's holding my sleep time.
But that's not entirely true. I have a list of things to be done by end of July.
1) Edit H2O movie - this may take a full 14 days
2) Coming out with project outcomes (final year project) - may a take a week to do
3) Edit Amah's memorial service - may take another 14 days
4) Watch movies
5) Running errands for my mum and Aunt.
6) Watch world cup matches LIVE
7) Promote Teh Botol to watson (how to do this?)
Look at that list.... So many things to do, and yet so little time. This is not a holiday, more like work and work with a great deal of stress running along side it.
And also, my nose has been bleeding these last couple of days.. I don't know why. My eyes are red too. And I don't know why.
All I know is Netherlands is going to face Brazil in the quarter finals... Oh God... This is so bizarre.

Two Days in Indo
Finally, after almost 3 years of "not going back to Indo", I decided to go to my birth place, Jakarta. Actually, the real reason why I went back was because my parents forced me to. haha.
But there was another reason why, perhaps the ultimate reason - My grandma (father's side) past away on Thursday morning. So we were supposed to gather in Jakarta for the memorial service.
One of these days, I'll write something about my grandma's journey to home; home is heaven, where one day I'll be there too.
And um.. Most importantly, I've had HOKA-HOKA BENTO (hokben)!!! This mouth-watering japanese fast food was one of the reason why I went to Jakarta too. Because apparently, hokben is only available in Indonesia.
http://www.hokahokabento.co.id/?mod=aboutus&opt=vwSub&cid=2&id=1
Probably their best food was the chicken wing with stuffed meat in it. I hadn't have much photos about it; all I know was it taste wonderfully enchanting with its crispy and juicy tender chicken meat. Haha.
And oh the best part, my other grandma (mother's side), who's 72 years old, has a boyfriend!! Oh my God, I lost to her! They seem to be in loved quite romantically through karaoke and dancing. haha. I saw them holding hands and hugging too.. awwwww.. :)
Anyway, gotta sleep.
Nighty nite

Anyway, I got a haircut, in Marine Parade, @ QB. Cost only $10.

AUD$4
Can you believe that Perth International Airport charge you AUD$4 for a trolley?!
And this is no special trolley. It's an ordinary trolley, and it cost 4 bucks if you use it to carry your luggages.
I mean seriously, what's that for?
Are they trying to bribe passengers or steal money from passengers? Even if we paid that $4, I'd even believed that Soekarno-Hatta has a better shaped trolley than these piece of junks...
(sighh)
Shame on you Perth...

SQ 226
Ahh finally, the moment has arrived. This is the moment I've been waiting for since mid-Feb. The moment of a 4 months-time, instead of a lifetime.
So I looked at my travel checklist, and got myself a plane to catch to Singapore, via SQ 226.... Tomorrow!!
That means I'm out of this hell hole (Perth) by tomorrow afternoon. Hahahaha, I can't stop delighting in myself for going through, a pain-stakingly, the slowest 4 months ever in the world.
And with the 40 days purity challenge, it seemed to be longer by years! It feels like 4 years I've not been back to Singapore...
Therefore, as of 920 pm tomorrow (Singapore time), I'll be in Changi Airport Terminal 3. What else do I need other than arriving at the second world best airport in the world?
Although, I do need a girlfriend now.... haha.. (still pursuing)
Anyway, thanks in advance for Becky who's picking me up tomorrow. (thanks so much!). I hope she brings Ineke along; ah, I can't wait to see this wacky, pretty and sexy 26 year old lady.
She still owes me "Ayam Kecap"... Hahaha, I can't wait to gobble it down my throat and into my everlasting stomach... Yum!
So... remember SQ 226; everytime you see and think SQ 226, think of me will you? That way I can be memorable to you... (haughty moment) ... hahaha..

Misconception
I had a peculiar incident just now, right in front of my apartment.
While I was driving home, there was a road block about 20 metres away from my apartment. But 20 metres before the road block, I had to turn right to get to the parking lot of my apartment. In other words, I'll not be able to take the breath test.
When I was in front of the apartment gate, I realised that my remote (to open the gate) didn't work, the front gate won't open. But the back gate opened.
So I decided to turn around. Meaning, I have to get to the main road in order to enter from the back gate.
Suddenly, just before I reversed, a police car stopped behind me. I was so confused; why would he stopped behind me?
And then the police man came and he spoke harshly,
Police: Hey buddy, we were having a random breath check; why would you get away from it?!!
Will: But sir, I live here.
Police: (a few seconds silence) ... Oh ok... (voice change) But would you mind blowing to the pipe, since I'm here...
Will: Ok...
Police: Have you been drinking?
Will: No sir, not at all.
Police: Excellent.... (pauses).... you having trouble?
Will: Yeah.. the front gate won't open. I need to enter from the back gate now.
Police: Oh I see, I thought you're escaping us... (laughs)
Will: ....
Police: Bye... Btw, Aussie is winning Ghana at the moment, 1-0. (thumbs up).
Will: ok...
And there you go... What a misconception. A pure misunderstanding...
Btw, Netherlands beat Japan!!! Yeeehaaa

Lost USB
Terrible thing happened today - I lost my thumbdrive... I was surrounded with despair, because that thumbdrive contains important files and folders of my uni stuffs and others, although some of them are pretty useless.. :)
But the thing is, I lost it. I knew I had it with me when I left the Science Library at 6pm. And then throughout the night, I left it in the right pocket of my pants. I figured it slipped out of my pants when I was having dinner at the restaurant.
I tried coming back to all the places that I've been, but it's not there. I haven't been to the restaurant though, because it was close. So I'll call them tomorrow.
Aaahhh, I cannot imagine what I'll do without it. I think this is God's way of telling me to buy a new thumdrive... Or is it?
Lord help...
Oh btw, I felt terribly sorry for BP's (British Petroleum) CEO Mr Tony Hayward. He was blasted with criticism by the US Senators and the President (Barack Obama), for the giant oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that was caused by an explosion at one of its oil rig. (Ganbatte Mr Hayward!)

26 Marks
Hmm.... The exam was tough. I gotta admit, even after hours and hours and hours and hours of studying, I'm still clueless on a couple of the exam questions. Some questions were straight-forward and easy to divulge, others required some serious thinking to crack them up.
So the exam is worth 60% of the whole unit (subject); and then another 40% goes to the course work, consisting of assignments and lab reports.
Now I've already counted my course work mark, and I got 24.3 out of 40 (24.3/40). So in order to pass this unit, I need to get another 25.7 mark, or round it off to 26 marks to get a 50% pass.
It is still possible to get that. And, I have this faith that I already pass the exam. haha.
So I don't have to think about it everytime; it's like surrendering my exam to the Lord. I've already gave the best I can, and now it's the Lord's turn to do his best. And I'm sure He won't disappoint me. :D
And.... Oh.. I got $45 fine for parking in the wrong spot.... :D
What a day... haha

Juicy Talk for Women
This is something for the ladies.
I stumbled across this website a couple hours ago, and I thought it's really an interesting website, educationally.
http://www.cherrytv.com/
It's not about fashion, neither it's marriage, but it's about sex... Sex from the female perspective.
This is not some stupid and horrendous pornography website. Believe me, I've gotten a lot info and knowledge from here.
haha.
Check it out.

Jiang Hua Yi Ma?
Yesterday Gill described a story about how she encountered a person who can't speak English in her blog.
(http://cintakadabra.blogspot.com/2010/06/heran.html).
She said that it was a feeling of "Misuh-Misuh", which I don't know what it meant; but assuming from that situation, I'd say it's a feeling of awkwardness and somewhat, rejection.
Truth be told, I've encountered this situation like more than 5 times before too, so I knew how it felt like to be in Gill's situation.
One of the memorable ones was when I took a cab, but the driver didn't speak any English (or I think he could, but didn't choose to speak it with me). At first it went well:
Driver: Ci Na li? (correctly spelt?)
Will: Hyatt Hotel, Scotts Rd. Can we go by PIE, and then to CTE, then exit at Cairnhill?
Driver: Hao.
Will: Thanks
See, everything went well.
However, five minutes later, the driver started speaking to me in Mandarin about something which I had no clue on. But being a polite passenger and not wanting to feel abashed, I responded to him by nodding my head pretending to understand what he was saying (this is pathetic).
It went well for about 3 minutes. Suddenly, He asked me a question about the particular topic he was talking about....
There was this a few seconds of silence and awkwardness before I responded, and guess what I said... I blatantly told him, "Sorry uncle, I don't understand chinese."
And Ohmigod, his reaction was prizeless. You should've seen the look on his face. From this sociable, amicable man, to a non-talking weird maniac.
To make matters worst, he sped his cab like as if he was Lewis Hamilton. And when I reached Hyatt, I gave him the money, he gave me the change, and he just left, without saying "goodbye", or "thanks" or "have a nice day".
I just felt weird and also rejected somehow... Or did I reject him? I don't know.
Anyway, from that day on, I'm always driving my own car.
And I'm definitely learning chinese (help, anyone?).
Also, it would be nice if my future wife can speak chinese .. :)

3 More Days to Exam
My exam's on the 16th June at 2 pm; and I'm not interested in studying. What's the matter with me hey?
Maybe it's the subject. I'm totally not interested in studying this subject called "Fluid Mechanics". I get nothing from studying this, and yet all I want is to pass this subject. How to pass a subject without studying?
So I'm forcing myself to study a subject that I hate. What can I achieve from doing that?
All I can think now is my business - a business that's not even open yet. But I already see it blossoming into the nation's best industry. Haha... That's faith! Something that I don't have, and yet I believed that it has happened.
On the other hand, what's study? How to study? and How to pass fluid mechanics?
If only Doraemon is by my side now...
Btw, a not-so-hot girl is checking me out! She made eye contact with me and smiled. :)

Heartbroken for a Moment
My heart was broken just now, albeit only 5 minutes. But a broken heart is still a broken heart. (haha). So the story goes like this...
I have a wonderful, beyond wonderful best friend in Singapore. His name is GW. He's married with a lovely wife, who also happened to be my close friend after they got married.
GW and I are probably the best friend in the world. If there was an award called the best friend award, we'd have win it. I bet a million dollar on this.
Anyway, while I was in singapore in December 2009, GW did mentioned that he'd like to go back to Indo for good. But because I was afraid to lose him, I said no. A firm no. I told him that I'm going to start a business, so I needed his help badly... He agreed, but couldn't promise that he'd stay in Singapore.
Months passed, and about a month ago, I started texting him messages from Perth, but he never replied. I thought he was busy, so I just ignored it.
And then, 3 hours ago, I texted him again; and still, he didn't replied... From that point onwards, I was afraid that he moved back to Indo. So afraid, that I started to panic. So panic, that I started to weep. I tried calling his cell, but his number was no longer in use.
I thought the worst had happened to me - I lost my best friend. My heart hurt like mad....
Out of confusion, I stammered upon facebook, and found Becky Online. And she assured me that GW and his wife are still in singapore.
However, I wasn't convinced. So I asked Becky to drop GW and wife a message from Perth saying that his best friend miss him... And I'm still waiting for the news from Becky...
(sighhh)
Anyhow, I lost my mind for a while, the light inside me has left me too; and now I know what empty is... And I don't wanna feel it again. I had enough of this.

The Dream
Recently, Ci Bombie updated her blog on this magnificent topic called "dreamz" ... (http://lissabombie.blogspot.com/2010/06/dreamz.html) ... And somewhere in the middle of her post, she said to never drop the dream if we have one.
Well, I actually have two dreams. Not small, but big dreams. I'm not even sure if these can be achieved. But I will not drop them. I'll pursue one of these dreams.
The first dream is to start a business. I want this business to grow and then be listed in the Singapore Stock Exchange if it got bigger. But the thing is, the business that I want to start is a restaurant business.
It may not look convincing for a restaurant to enter the stock market isn't it? But when I looked at Mcdonalds, Subway, PF Changs, Jollibee, starbucks, and even breadtalk, I was confident and sure that it can be done. Nothing is impossible. I may have to change the restaurant format to a fast-food restaurant style instead if it's needed. But again, impossible is nothing.
The second dream is to be an academy award winning film maker. Oh yeah... This is no joke. It's been my dream ever since I was a teenager. But this dream faded away for a while when I entered the polytechnic in 2005; my parents wanted me to be pursue education instead. haha.
Suddenly in 2008, I was stunned by a film called "Slumdog Millionaire" that won 8 academy awards including the coveted best picture award. I was so amazed and confused, because the film was low budget, no major artists appeared on it, and yet, the film was met with universal acclaims from critics and audiences before it won 8 awards. How did they do it?
Apparently, when Danny Boyle (Director of Slumdog Millionaire) was asked, "how did you do it?" by a TV presenter, he answered in a word, "Persistent". And then he smiled, before he left. Upon hearing that, I was determined, but don't know where to start. Anyhow, I've got the magic key, persistent.
So after watching the academy award that year (2008), I was speechless. And this dream came back on to me again. However, I'm not sure if this dream can be done because of the complex nature of reality. Let's face it, I'm not an american or a british to start with. (haha)
Anyway.... (sighhh).... Those are my dreams; and I won't drop them.
Alrighty then...
Gotta get back to studying.

The second dream is to be an academy award winning film maker. Oh yeah... This is no joke. It's been my dream ever since I was a teenager. But this dream faded away for a while when I entered the polytechnic in 2005; my parents wanted me to be pursue education instead. haha.
Suddenly in 2008, I was stunned by a film called "Slumdog Millionaire" that won 8 academy awards including the coveted best picture award. I was so amazed and confused, because the film was low budget, no major artists appeared on it, and yet, the film was met with universal acclaims from critics and audiences before it won 8 awards. How did they do it?
Apparently, when Danny Boyle (Director of Slumdog Millionaire) was asked, "how did you do it?" by a TV presenter, he answered in a word, "Persistent". And then he smiled, before he left. Upon hearing that, I was determined, but don't know where to start. Anyhow, I've got the magic key, persistent.
So after watching the academy award that year (2008), I was speechless. And this dream came back on to me again. However, I'm not sure if this dream can be done because of the complex nature of reality. Let's face it, I'm not an american or a british to start with. (haha)
Anyway.... (sighhh).... Those are my dreams; and I won't drop them.
Alrighty then...
Gotta get back to studying.

Haven't sleep yet!
Wow wow wow.. I did not sleep at all for the whole night. It's now 8.45 am on thursday 10/6/10. That's means I've been awake for almost 18 hours. (plok plok plok) ... This is my personal best achievement.
More importantly, my assignment is done. I saw my friend's assignment, and she has so much to write about. I looked at her first page, and I think I'm already losing in number of words... Her paragraphs were thick. Mine seems modest, averaging at about 3 sentences per paragraph..
But anyway, I'm not going to change my mind. I'm handing in my assignment at 9 am. And then got to help my friend finish her assignment. That means I won't be able to sleep after this.. (sigh)
I'm thinking of sleeping at lunch time, and then waking up at 7pm later tonight, have dinner, and then go back to uni to study again... :D ... life is good.
Good morning btw... :)

And I'm still stuck in the computer lab with a tub of sad cookies, a big-can of red-bull, a bottle of ABC chilli sauce and pizza from pizza hut. And an empty water bottle.
But still, I can't write up this assignment! I've got 7 - 8 hours left before submission date.....................

1.01 am
It's 1.01 am, and I've just finished the first question of part A... Oh God... I still have a long way to go for this assignment...
Apprently, red-bull is helping me to stay awake; but the will power inside of me says I should go home and forget the 20% assignment. But I still want the 20% mark.
How how how???
What's the difference between reality and model?

Bubble Tea Dominos and DVD rental shop
I may hate Perth for its sudden quietness and boring-ness at night, however I'm still grateful for a few things in here.
One is the bubble tea. It may cost a whopping $4-5 a glass, but it sure is helping to ease the boring night style here. My favourite one is the lychee milk tea with sago. Sago is a term that they use for "Pearl".
Two is the dominos pizza. I always had dominos pizza every tuesday as it has special discount rate - it cost only $6.95 for a large pizza. Can you believe that? It cost almost $20 in Singapore. And also, dominos have thin-crust pizza, which I love for its crispyness.
Three is the DVD rental shop. I cannot imagine living in a country without having a rented DVD store with some adult-content in it. (haha)
And the list still goes on... To be honest, Perth is not that bad. It's just the night life that makes it so dull and lukewarm. And quite frankly, I'm the batman type of human.

What if I Date a Caucasian?
This thought entered my mind when I was lying down on my bed last night. "What if I date a caucasian?" I thought to myself. Will I get a kiss on a first date? Or if everything goes smoothly, will I be getting a "bing-bang-boom"?? If you know what I'm talking about. (haha)
Because from what I've seen on films and rom-com movies, they seemed to suggest that everything start with a kiss - on the lips. Not a peck on the cheek. And then they moved on to the living room, or the bed or even the car to complete the transaction. (haha)
Anyway, I always thought this kind of movies are always giving us false hopes that are really implausible to us, the south-east-asian cultured citizen. I mean, can we give and receive a kiss just to tell the world that we're now in a relationship?
Sometimes I don't even know why the kiss happen. For example, from the movie Notting Hill, Julia Roberts gave a passionate kiss to Hugh Grant five - ten minutes after they first met. I mean, how is that possible? You just met this whole new person, and then bam... the kiss... This is something that is not going to happen in our asian cultures.
Or is it?
I may be on a limb here, but I thought that the asian cultures of dating has been rather secular lately. However, for my friends and foes who are members of the church, they seem to think that a first kiss should be reserved for the wedding day.
I don't know if this is some sort of spiritual activities that they are following or not; because I've seen american christian friends who kissed when they're dating. And it looked good. Real pleasure and romance and beginning.
So what if I date a caucasian?
Hmm... Apparently, not many caucasian females want me; this is because of my terrible weight attitude that may trampled them to flat if I landed on them. hahaha

Long time never blog
Oh man, I've been rather busy these past 3 days that I've no time to blog. I've had 3 days of non-stop activities till 11pm at night. And by then, I'd be really dead-bit (tired).
I think I spent almost 3 days of serving the Lord. Playing music and directing a movie. I may be tired, but I'm definitely over-joyed!
The movie is called "Helping Jesus". And I think it will be a hit in the church among the youth. I can't wait for the teaser trailer to be released...
It's now 11.11 pm on sunday, and I can only write this much. I can't think of anything else to write at the moment. All I can think of is sleeping. I woke up at 7am, till now (11.12 pm). I really need to get some sleep.
I can't wait for that person to arrive though... :)

Men and Breasts
I was watching Notting Hill last night. And somewhere in the middle of the film Anna Scott and William Thacker had an interesting conversation about nudity. It went like this:
"Anna: What is it about men and nudity? Particularly breasts... How can you be so interested in them?"
"William: Well..."
"Anna: I mean, seriously.. They're just breasts, every second person has them. They're odd looking, they're milk from your mother. What's all the fuss about?"
Later that night, I went on thinking about this particular thing - the breasts. Well, I love them; and I can't say no to them :D ... But what would a woman think of this?
You know, I'm in my 33rd day of the 40 days purity challange; and I found this topic a really interesting one because I myself is so addicted to nudity, particularly the breasts.
So it really hits me when the dialogue ended. I just can't understand, why am I such a breast man???? Why do I get turn on so easily when some one says breasts or boobs or Mount Fuji??? And why do I get turn on by women with big breasts, boobs, and Mount Fuji??? This is not right!
And women, don't be fooled by men who said that they don't like breasts or nudity for that matter. Because let me tell you something, as a man myself, I loooove them! There's nothing more romantic than women who can "do" us... (no joke)
Finally, I'd say that women are so lucky, you just look down and oh... there you are - the "little girls". How you get any work done with them is beyond my imagination. (haha)
Btw, this is no offense to those women who are flat-chested. You do not need to worry, the right guy will come along. And how do you know whether that's the right guy for you? If he loves your flat-chested "breasts", he's definitely the one.

Notting Hill
I've just watched Notting Hill. And I thought it was unique movie. The plot was simple and I think that made the movie stands out from the crowd.
The movie centred around the most-famous actress in hollywood Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) who met a local guy, William Thacker (Hugh Grant), in the town of Notting Hill. William Thacker owns a bookshop; and one day, in one a million chances, Anna Scott, visits his shop and buy a book on Turkish holiday.
Anyway, along the line of the movie, Anna Scott, the world famous actress said this breath-taking sentence that blew my mind away:
"Don't forget, I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her."
The fact that she said this made me realise that no matter how successful our lives are, we still must remember that we're just boys and girls who longs to be loved.
All in all, the movie was bright and smart; it had clever and witty dialogue to apprehend Roberts and Grant's characters.
Ahh... What a film.. I'd rate this 3.5/5 stars.

Peeing Without Barrier
I realised that not many guys read my blog. So I think it would be perfect to post this as it allows the girls to understand what's happening in the men's bathroom.
Ok so here is the thing - the standing urinal.
Oh it's not about its design, neither its quality nor its brand. It's more of the privacy kind of thing. I cannot pee in a standing urinal without a barrier; some people call it wall or shelter. Anyway, whatever you call it, this wall acts as a protection so that no other men will see our "Gun", if you know what I'm talking about.
Usually, this wall is made from hard quality materials like marbles, through simple wooden planks. But whatever the materials are, it still does its job to protect our privacy - covering our "guns". I wonder why men toilets nowadays were built without fixing those walls/barriers to the standing urinal.
It's just really disappointing to learn that male toilets doesn't have a covered standing urinal. Because everytime I'm in that situation, I'd resolve to using the cubicle which requires a lot of water to flush. This is a waste.
And I think it's safe to say that I'm not the only one complaning about this problem, because I've seen other men walked right up to the cubicle instead of the urinal to pee. Probably they have smaller "guns", that's why they may feel diffident about this matter.
You get what I mean? It's just weird peeing standing in a urinal without a barrier. Imagine you pee next to your boss without the wall... How does that feel?
The bottomline, standing urinal must have side walls to prevent other men from seeing our "guns". Otherwise men would see it and talk about it to their friends, partners, wives, and even write it in their blog!
Oh btw, once I peed next to this caucasian in a restaurant. And guess what, his "gun" was so long that my palm weren't big enough to get a full grab of it. I wonder how long it would look like when it's fully erect...
