d-day... oh i can't wait.

lots of things running through my mind.
im thinking of all the things i can do and should be doing, once my exam is all over. okay... since jules would be here, i guess i have to/must start playing tennis again since the optifast remedy is abit too pricy for me. sadly so.
other things to complete... ummm. its all written down on a piece of paper somewhere. i'll find it later.



the season 1 of HOUSE has finally come to an end. i thought they would immediately screen season 2 during the summer, instead its some lame medical show, "strong medicine", with female "heroes". maybe i should read more instead. tsk tsk.

okay i better be heading off!

life's a dream...

hidden persuasion...


martyrdom... its funny, just today on the abc channel there was this documentary about martyrdom being a religion. the journalist approached one of the iran army general asking him on his oppinion regarding the issue. and he said he was proud of them folks... and he told the them that america better be careful... they be a threat to the americans.
americans dont try to be funny, coz we be killing ourselves... hows that?! now lets see who you at war this time.

my fingers are tied in a gazzillion crossing knots. hope i'll get the job!

christmas is just around the corner. this would be my first sweaty christmas at aussieland. my house is gonna be packed!
since jm and sis would be away this friday, i think i'll head down for the christmas lighting ceremony on friday... santa's gonna be there! then again its not like i care. he's fat.

ugh. first and only paper is next thursday. then i'll be free from this 'orrible "no man's land" dilemma.

is this true?! we've been fleeced...

REASON WHY IN SEJARAH OF MALAYSIA SINCE YEAR 1999 Study about HANG TUAH is MISSING ?????

" The Truth Reveal (with evidence)"
In June 1998, the government of Malaysia had hired a team of experts
Received: from local by SmtpFwd via local research project to
compliment the history studies that we undertaken in our secondary
school. The objective of the research is simply:

1. To find prove and evident that show the Malays are the origins of
Malaysia and they are the first race and religion that lands their
foot in Malaysia.

2. To further strengthen their claims, first they need to find the
grave yard of the Hang Tuah, Hang Jebat, Hang Lekiu and etc..to show
the existant of their pioneer.

3. The Batu bersurat in Terengganu, reveals that the islamic religion
has landed in malaysia for a hundred years ago which furth! er
strengthen their claims!

That is why, we are taught with sejarah (history of malaysia)!!!!

BEWARE & OPEN YOUR EYES!!! go ask your brother, sister, niece, newphew
and etc. etc, since the year 1999 (if i'm not mistaken) or year 2000,
do they study about HANG TUAH anymore????????

Why is that popular subject GONE????? Missing in action??????? or
Evidence reveals something different that causes the government to
stop the syllabus and HIDE the TRUTH????????


Here are the Evidences of the findings by the team of scientists,
archaeologist, historian and other technical staff from the United
State, United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, Yemen & Russia.


The evidence are:

1) They finally found the grave yard of Hang Tuah, Hang Jebat and
etc..., their skeleton had been analise and samples of DNA had been
taken with the results show:

Hang Tuah, Hang Jebat, hang Lekiu and mates, they are not Malay!!!!!!
They are CHINESE! (islamic)from china!!! and why are they here in
Malacca????? Because they are in a misison to protect the UNGRATEFUL
MALAY from the potential attack of SIAM (Thailand)!!!


So Hang tuah is not malay hero!!! they are the protector of the
useless and ungrateful Parameswara (who is from INDONESIA)landed in
Malacca and claim the land belongs to him!!!
The hang tuah bunch of people are all from china, they are being
assign to malacca because parameswara request the Ching Dynasty
Emporer for protection!!!

This is why the Hang Tuah series of history is MISSING from the SEJARAH!!!!

2nd. Evidence:
The researchers hired by the government found the oldest tomb
stone(grave yard) in Kelantan in year 2000. Suprisingly the tomb stone
are at least 900 years old!!!! older than the so-called batu bersurat.
and the best thing is, it belong to the Chinese.
Being landed first in Malacca doesn't mean malay is the first in
Malaysia cos during that time, the road is too long for them to see
the other side of the coast!!! ! where the chinese has landed far
more earlier.

If you want the black and white evidence of the truth reveals please write to:

The Federal Association of Arc & Research of Michigan, USA

-forwarded mail


its true. the hang tuah epic was the only thing i liked about history. the rest was boring and confusing.
im curious, was the hangtuah story really taken out from the sejarah melayu syllables? i doubt the chinese would actually bother about this issue even if it were true. as long as the money continues to roll in then there shouldnt be a problem. maybe we could get even with a revised NEP.
dont worry, pak lah will handle this. he looks chinese to me.

thanks anton- the china rock man, for the forwarded mail.

it begins on the 18th...

i love enya's music. its so mysteriously magical that it could take me places, beautiful places. i always feel like im floating when i listen to her music. its intense, and simultaneously soothing.
i can always remember the first time i met her. it was in singapore many many years back. the song/ mtv was "anywhere is" and it was screen onto a big huge screen right in front of the museum. the mtv really went well with the song. the theme for the museum was about dinosaurs. and i clearly remembered that we took part in this lego competition to contruct a miniature lego dinosaur. it was pretty exciting. i remember next to us was this mother and her little boy. it was a one lady show. she was quite good, her dino was red in colour adn it was a t-rex. sadly her problem was that she couldnt get the little dino to stand, tsk tsk, unstructurally sound. the head was too big. so anyway, we won.
the singapore trip was strange. i could remember playing basketball at one of the HDB flats. and singaporean guys cant play basketball for nuts. i remembered that they sucked pretty badly. and the 3point line was cacat. it was so easy to score.

i'm still deciding if i should go marketing or continue my work at the business school's library.

for Her...

I needed the shelter of someone's arms
And there you were
I needed someone
to understand my ups and downs
And there you were
With sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotion
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby
I close my eyes at night,
Wondering where would I be without you in my life
Everything I did was just a bore,
Everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before
But you brightened up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I want to stop and thank you baby

You were better for me than I was for myself
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby

tie a yellow ribbon... 'round the old oak tree

A few days ago i had to unclog my kitchen sink. i was waiting for my sink to be clogged up since march, and it finally did. THANK YOU!! Theory proven.
as usual black water leaks out as i unscrewed the deep seal P trap (haha! i still can remember the term after 2 years), or was it an S trap? whatever.
Anyway, what came after the black water was totally unexpected. aside from the leftover rice, there were chopsticks, straws and a satay stick plus a bunch of hair- i dont want to know where it came from. well... that's what you get when you don't use a sink trap/filter. shucks! i should had done this when my housemates were at home. nvm, wait another 10 months and i can re-prove my point.

ugh, my hands are so coarse and peel-y it don't feel whenever i scratch my back. plus the increase of moles all over me just proves that the future aint so far away (note to self: sunscreen).
i just realise that the crispy chicken rice shop on swanston is pretty good. i can still taste the chicken in my head. plus 5 dollars including a softdrink is pretty okay. and to think that i actually considered going down to the KFC on bourke street.

aside from my graduate trip to Beijing. publishing a book when im 30 would be another goal to achieve. i dont know how on earth will i be able to do that with my bad grammar and limited vocab, but i should. less things to hassle when i reach my 40s. i'm actually pretty anxious in hitting the big 30. i dont know why. just another phase of life i wanna get over and done with.
they say that a man gets more attractive as he gets older. in fact, it actually makes a guy younger. who would had known 2 years ago people thought i was 30, but now at present times they mistake me for being 18.
30 is the age similar to when a girl turns 21. then again i take that back, girls arent really all that adult when they hit 21. they only assume/ pretend to be.they are dirty. girls make a big deal being 21 and guys sigh when they're only 21.

i've got two funny jokes to share... from yours truly Dr. Gregory House.

joke 1.
Patient: it's like my heart is on fire. like it's, oh i don't know, like..."
Dr. House: Burning?
Patient: Exactly!
Dr. House: hmm. Sounds almost like... heartburn.
Patient: so can you give me something?
Dr. House: like a thesaurus?

joke 2.
Dr. House: Ah, a rash, call a dermatologist. If it's wet, keep it dry. if it's dry, keep it wet. if it's not supposed to be there, cut it off. i never could remember all that.

i still wonder if moths really do produces itchy powder. i just killed one.. and there were powdery remnants all over the table.

its late and im a coke addict...


oh before i sleep. i should intro... my doofy bro. muahaha....

*YAWN*

its a hot and sunny day...


for once... proper feedback. i should try to avoid creating the obvious. stay away from the expected. and my housemate is complaining that he has to wear underwear. yes its tight, i know.
btw, the image is a progressive sketch from my design. i still cant put it down. if i never draw the live, i would run out of paper just the way i use my toilet rolls. mayb i should start using recycled paper. excuse the big text. standard procedure.
i borrowed 2046 but yet to watch it. its good... it better be. and am watching this new korean drama serial- Lover's in Paris. its the first serial that im pretty interested in watching. well it hasnt gone draggy yet, and i guess english subtitles always help. however, there are certain obstacles that prevents us from finishing it. sigh.
oh man, its really hot here. i think i'll use the living room instead. my room's an oven.

Aja!

YELLOW is the color...


i should start learning how to add colour. maybe i should start to learn how to render. make this little puppy glow.

before bedtime...

hehe... sneak preview. thursday is final presentation... ugh. stress...

attacking the TEXT...

its a friday evening. the cats and dogs came out to play right in the midst of our journey back home. i should be doing my model, i feel inspired to finish it up since now with my newly purchased base had already done half of the work for me.
it better! cost me a bomb!! ugh.

finally my first real theatrical experience. went to watch this play by the NewYorkCityPlayers- the Good Samritan, or more like the irony of being a good samaritan. its true... nice guys finish last. everything was near perfect, 'cept for my bowel problem. NEVER EVER should you eat expired fish the day before watching a play. its aweful... i wanted to die. plus there wasnt an interval session inbetween. haha! well atleast in melbourne i managed to watch a jazz performance (instrumental improvisation), theatre, and art exhibitions. i really should remind myself to go visit the SPAN gallery, and i must not miss the tate gallery exhibit. i should walk down the art precinct area more often.
anyway, the best part of the whole theatrical experience was the set piece. i loved it. its so artificially real, every detail of it was well thought. when i was scanning through the space i was thinking back on the 2 sets i've done for ocf... perfect murder & jazz night. ugh. give me a hundred thousand and i would still probably not be able do a very good job on it.
okilar, but i thought the interview after the play was boring. what the heck were they saying? the answers were so cliche, all artist would tell you what they are doing is totally the opposite from mainstream. every creator claims not to do/ create something of the ordinary... who does anyway?! no houselights... creating an interaction between the audience, we architects do that everyday, proclaiming that the inside of our buildings has a relationship between the outside... interacting dialogue with nature/ the adjacent context. Back to the set piece, i do give them thumbs up for that. i've been pretty interested in set designs ever since my involvement in them and seeing the exhibition on Steven Butler's theater designs at the Bendigo art gallery. an alternative option if/when my architectural dream crumble and fall.
oki, what the heck did i just wrote about?! basically the play was interestingly good.

lately i'm suddenly into R&B again. i still think K-ci & Jojo is one of the ultimate R&B dinamic duo. they are unique. been downloading some of the passe artists like... Stevie wonder, Lauryn hill, New Edi, Jon B, Babyface, HumanNature, All4One, Blackstreet, etc. to me R&B = Basketball. the early high school days... thats what happens if you mix around with koreans.

nothing's change...

time is running out. only less than 2 weeks before the semester ends. eek. with me is a book entitled- "the teaching of buddha". this would be a good time to convert i guess. wonder how things would work out if we had the grace of God and learn the teachings of buddha.
during the weekend i watched a spike lee movie- jungle fever. its a movie on about racism, class, drugs and affairs. i must say the dialogues were pretty intense at some parts, kind of reminds me of the Wong kar-wai sort of movies. a whole lot of characters in the movie having their own sketch, but are all interconnected into one big plot.
the main conclusion of the movie would is the argument between what is more of the issue- inter-racial relationships or drug addicts. in the movie everyone made a huge fuss about black people getting together with white people, but all the drug addicts were silently increasing in numbers. people was just being ignorant about the issue. it was like all the druggies were actually running around the streets but nobody could even care-less. however with just one inter-racial affair, the whole town went totally balistic and the focal point was on them.
then the ultimate debate was about black men needing to get a white gal to feel more superior. and there aint enough good black man around, the so-called good ones are dating 10 other women at one go. but then again maybe there are good men around... they could be the garbage man, janitors, etc. blabla...
spike lee is quite a genius. i should try and get hold more of his movies. the soundtrack's pretty poetic as well.

other events. i met ellen at the library. its been a real long time since i've seen her. i use to see her pretty often around the library, but now theres hardly a familiar face around. shucks! she finishes on the 7th. thats 2 weeks before me.

urges. i miss walking around the Ramadan bazaars. all the kuih... ayam panggang... murtabak... etc. just walking around smelling all the food brings so much joy to my tummy. MMMMMmmmmmMmmm...

contesting spaces...



passion versus money. with passion, you'll be remebered; money, you'll be forgotten.

nonsense...

was thinking in the shower. wondering whats all this about people constantly receiving word/ revelation etc from God. these people at every second believes that God speaks to them of what to say. opens up the Bible and tells people but basically repeats the same thing over and over. someone talks about love of how we should instill a lifestyle of love... and then someone comes up and says, " i think God is telling me to tell you that he wants us to love your neighbours".
ironically, these people are clueless in other sorts. things probably that mattered more. or maybe in human standards matters more. If god really speaks to them then why doesnt he tell them things like... "theres a rumour going around abt $900 deficit pls clear it up" or like, "you should be doing this or that etc"...
instead God tells them redundant matters, that seems encouraging but really doesnt help much anyway. its all about throwing bible verses around. and the purpose for? nothing. they dont know what the heck is going on... only know bible verses that dont really tell you specifically what to do. after all that, they would feel like they've been an encouragement to others but actually they had not done much.
eg: someone comes up at the end of the day and says... "God is speaking to me... telling me to tell you guys not to be discourage but continue to trust his word." heck... i tell myself that practically everyday. why not tell me something i dont know. like... campo baeza is holding an exhibition at the artscentre next fall. i mean that would defintely make me feel deeply encouraged, that will definitely instill hope in me to look forward to the future.
in the end, its we ourselves who have to figure it out what to do.
slap them in the face.

a world without thieves...



sigh. my stomach is growling incessantly like a grizzly bear. then again, maybe its more like a puma. anyway its hungry but my kitchen is in a big big mess. terrible.
i'm heading off to the city before i head for school. errands to run. drawings to print. umm.

-studio
-adv services discussion
-prayer meet
-assignments/projects
-presentation

okay. i better be cracking on my attachment work end of the year. hmmm.
i wonder where can i get one of those wrist bands... white/yellow/green ones. they look pretty cool. funky.
better head for the city, might stop by for brunch since im there. i wish the market was open today.

**twilight...

it was good to see my tutor after the long 2 week break. and i guess it goes the same for him reading by the way he was giving me a big wave seeing me in the studio. haha. i actually enjoy/ like my design tutor for a change. after 3 semesters in unimelb finally one of them sort of makes sense. first one was a overly cina lady, followed by super eccentric/gay fella, then later a German sausage who have not a clue what he's doing.
hmmm. my schedule for the week:

tue: adv services tute / lecture
wed: lunch with Jensen/ Gym
thu: Studio
fri: PC/MC studies-presentation (that reminds me, i have not finish reading the reader)

i've got a mail from the tennis club. aussie open 2006. wonder if i should go if im staying behind for the summer. it is going my final year here next year. hmmm. $148 for the men's final. heck! why melbourne?! one ticket should be enough, coz its definitely going to be a Safin match. no doubt about that. whoa the championship package is $560. if only it was in ringgit.

A Hymne to God the Father

Wilt thou forgive that sinne where I begunne,
which is my sin, though it were done before?
Wilt thou forgive those sinnes through which I runne,
And doe them still: though still I do deplore?
When thou hast done, thou hast not done,
For, I have more.

Wilt thou forgive that sinne by which i wonne
Others to sinne? and, made my sinne their doore?
Wilt thou forgive that sinne which I did shunne
A yeare, or two: but wallowed in, a score?
When thou hast done, thou hast not done,
For, I have more.

I have a sinne of feare, that when I have spunne
My last thred, I shall perish on the shore;
Sweare by thy selfe, that at my death thy Sunne
Shall shine as it shines now, and heretofore;
And, having done that, Thou hast done,
I have no more.

- John Donne

been reading poetry from john donne lately. haha. half the time i have not a clue what he's saying. but the ones that i do, i think its lovely. so true. so real. so jaded.
i'm getting sleepy and i have to wake up before 10 tomorrow. and i've been waiting already for about an hour to take my shower. my housemates are really slow. and tony's portugese gal has a creepy stare. she smiles friendly yet she wants to eat you.

learning how to stand is why you fall...

its wednesday the first week of the break. man, having hair is so troublesome. what the heck am i supposed to do with it?! but girls dig hair. makes you look more human. and i've a lil zit between my eyebrows. mind you im not metrosexual nor am i vain. its what they call personal hygene.

anyway, later im going over to the studio to see my tutor. i only managed to whip up 2 different proposal. i dont know exactly how many he wanted when he told me to create alternatives. sigh. i wish i could finalized my friggin building then i can go off to doing my plans and sections etc. then later on to meet my groupmate for Adv Services- assignment 2. ugh. i hate ESD!! its totally a bunch of nonsense. archi students just love to use that as an excuse to their design intentions. then they go about designing all these weird buildings claiming that its for "Environmentally Sustainable" purposes. thats just a euphamism. just 10% for 2 A3 sheets of research. waste of time.
tonight, dinner with my ltc group. i still have no idea what to bring! hmmm. probably just get them greentea swissroles or maybe icecream. and i am going to miss this weeks episode of HOUSE!! oh no. the first break of my watching streak. wonder whats this weeks episode about. trying to remember last weeks preview for this week. i know someone is going to be terribly ill i think. doh.

i've been thinking about it last night. and realized that its about time i let go of the group. let them run around on their own. there isnt a strong reason why we should help keep the bond together. they will get their way around strengthening it themselves i supposed. all i'll keep is an open door. or maybe just ajar. whatever suits.

im staring at jon's basketball. and i really dont know what to do with it. i do really wanna play with it, but the courts are just so far away. and who the heck is gonna play with me. actually i dont really bother who but if only the basketball court was 200meters away, i'd be shooting hoops everyday. maybe i should go swimming later. argh!

i'm spiderman...
