Story of 3 weekends
Hey everyone, been really busy lately with tests and assignments for the whole 3 weeks, even tho i went out on the weekends but i just didnt have time to blog about it.. so ill be blogging about the whole 3 weekends..XD.. hopefully its not too long to read, but ill try to keep it as short as possible.. :)and it wont be as funny i guess cause my head has been clogged up with my work... cant think... neeed...alcohol... XD.. anywayz.. the first blog will be the oldest one and the last will be the newest one... so here goes...
First WeekendAlvin's latte, look how artistic they are....
Xin nee and Alvin
Jeane and Alvin
Mercadante's specialty the chocolate pizza... at least of whats left of it.. XD
Yeah, i got tricked by them.... dont belief them when they ask i if u want the specials or not.. lolz
Best restaurant in Lygon St (currently and according to Jeane)
It was finally a weekend me and Alvin could meet up with Jeane and Xin nee, and it was not me who planned the outing.. but i had to remind them about it.... anywayz.. everything is soo fuzzy now.... what happen ar?? .... oh yah.. i had to go all the way to the city to meet Alvin as i was scared he didnt know where he was since he didnt really stayed in the city, then we went back up to Lygon St to meet up with the gals to have lunch.. and let me tell u what lygon st... its a street where all the expensive italian restaurants are.. and Jeane brought us to a place that had the worse pasta ever.. and like i said... IT WAS EXPENSIVE... well.. it was ok la.. once in a while and its their first time there.. so cant blame them for choosing the wrong place to eat.. we some more had to wait for a long time for the food.. service was kinda terrible.. should ask gordon ramsay to go kick their asses and scold all the F words he wants at them.. haha.. that will be soo cool.. Anywayz.. after lunch, The girls had a craving for more food.... like wow..... they ate more than me.. and they wanted to eat some more.. (hehe.. trying to make them look bad and fat.. :P) but couldnt blame them for that craving cause as u can see from the pictures above.. we went to mercadante.. superb restaurant.. and we kept on asking Jeane why we didnt go there earlier.. LOlz.. and she said she forgot about it.. so anywayz.. we ate some more.. and we ordered the chocolate pizza.. their specialty and it was really really good... (*sorry got no before pic, everybody couldnt wait.. :p*). After that, basically everybody went on their own ways.... but since Alvin hasnt seen the girls room yet, we decided to follow xin nee back to let him see the place( my actual plan was to escort xin nee home to make sure she reached home safely..lolz.. ) and we just basically chatted in her room until evening then me and Alvin left for the city in search for dinner... walked all over the city looking for cheap japanese food, and when we finally found one.. it was cheap and nice but...... the portion was soo small.. luckily we had all ate a lot for lunch, so it didnt really matter.. then we headed back home after that... :)
Second Weekend
China protest in the city
China protest in front of the library i was going to study in later in the day...
Her "hongkie" friend, taking a little nap due to the amount of reading... which was only a little bit.. XD...My new gf.. possibly... XD... just kidding.. that's chung yee.. we studied together for our test... she cute right?... haha.. XD.. (*thinks to self*.. she reads my blog... oh shit!!), she actually is my lil sista... u rock girl!! :)Ok, second weekend, my first assignments, all done.. now freaking tests were coming.. =.= .. sad uni life, so.... anywayz.. went to church as usual, went out for lunch with my cousin, didnt plan to have lunch actually but since chung yee also had just finished church, had to wait for her... so went to eat.. then came out of the restaurant after lunch.. we saw a wave of people on the road, at first i thought it was a parade or something but after focusing(*was thinking about something.. :P*.. shh.. secret... haha.. ) anywayz.. back to my story... after focusing, i noticed it was a wave of chinese people singing their national anthem, never in my life have i seen so many of them... wait.... i did see alot of them in
Beijing haha.. but its like all the chinese in Australia turned up for this protest...it was amazing to see such a large scale of protest... havent really seen one in my life before to tell you the truth. Anywayz.. i just didnt really care about the protest and continued to go support China with them.... Oops.. ermm.. i meant i went to the library to study.. and there is where i met up with Chung yee.. havent seen her since prom last year.. She still looked the same.. cute.. haha.. :P, so we chatted for a while, listening to her stories... and then we started studying when her friend from hong kong arrived and just chatted in between studying as usual and had lunch again... not for chung yee cause she didnt have anything to eat.. so had to accompany her and then later back to studying then i accompanied chung yee to the the tram stop to make sure she got on the correct one( she doesnt come the city often.. so quite lost.. :P) and safely before i headed home myself..:)
Third Weekend
As u can see.. vietnamese spring rolls on the right, prawns and oysters in the bag
Look at all the yummy food.. that hasnt been cooked.. had a hard time cooking..Lolz..
Finally i have reached the third weekend, pheeww.. got soo much to type.. and im doing work at the same time... so thats why its taking such a long time to finish this post. Anywayz, the third weekend was the most tiring one i guess but it was fun at the same time. Woke up at 8.00 am on Saturday which was suppose to be my wake up late day but had to wake up to help my cousin out with groceries. Went to Footscray and Moonee Ponds to get the groceries, it was amazing to see all kinds of food that were sold including the types the vietnamese eat and most of them actually look like malaysian kuih but they have their own names. After all the shopping we came back and got ready everything and went to play computer games.. XD. Needed a rest... come on people.. i need to rest.. dont think im lazy.. :P . After playing games for about an hour or two or maybe the whole day, its all very fuzzy now.. :P but anywayz all of us had to get ready for the arrival of my cousin's gf and parents. I had to carry everything down to the backyard and then later help cook the sauces. After that, we just waited for them to arrive and when they arrived, the rib - eye was thrown on the the "barbie"( i dont know how to spell it yet) in other words the grill to cook and i was the cook!! i was everything on that day.. lolz.. thats why so tiring.. had to cut the meat in half cause it was too thick and in the middle wasnt really cooked as it was still frozen i think.. and after the scrumptious meal, we had desert made by Kary my cousin's gf... simply sweet and delicious i might say, a bit too sweet for me.. but i liked it nonetheless and the parents chatted after that while i sat there listening to the stories that were told... pretty interesting to learn more things about the world and the experiences they went through while they were young or even in their everyday life. At the same time, while i was chatting... i was thinking whether if this is what i should do for my future gf parent's....is god training me to do all this for the future?? Why was i the one doing all the work? Lolz.. anywayz.. it was a good experience i guess.. learned a lot and had a tiring day... was soooo tired that when i my head touched the pillow i fell asleep straight away and to tell you the truth, that was the only day that i have a great night of sleep...
The shop next to this bread shop(Above) This shop sells great pork rolls(below above.. hehe..)
If they were to join together
This was when i was shopping with my cousin in Footscray, we wanted to have some pork rolls which is basically a small baguette like bun with pork meat, chives, and some other crap. I dont care what they put inside, just as long as it tasted good and this is way better than Subway. According to my cousin, this is the most famous shop in Footscray and sells the best pork rolls and you should see the number of people queing up to get the rolls.... man.... amazing.. but as i was entering the shop i noticed the shops neighbours sign was called "du thuan" and i started laughing because the bread shop name is nhu lan which is a funny name already but imagine if the bread shop was to combine with its neighbour and dont know sell what... they could name their shop "Du lan".. (if u dont understand what it means, go say it to one of your friends to see their reply).. with all their workers in the shop looking "du lan" all the time when they make the rolls for u.. haha.. but seriously.. its a good roll shop.. its really good.. if u come here next time.. ill find a way to get u there.. cause i currently dont know how to get there by public transport.. hehe.. always follow my cousin..
Anywayz.. thats all for this post.. will be back for more when i have time.. hopefully ill post more on Autumn in Australia soon.. its a great time of year now.. weather is perfect.. love it.. sorry dont have great pics of it yet.. still waiting for the leaves in parkville to turn orange and yellow... it will be super beautiful then.. looks like i got to walk there everyday from now on to wait for it to turn those colours to show it to you all... anywayz.. jasonk signing off and riding into the sunset in the beautiful season of autumn.. take care everyone.. and have a nice day!!.. =)
It was beautiful when i was looking at it.. didnt come too nice on phone..sorry.. :)

goodbye;
My chocolate easter bunny.. :)
my bed.. 2 beds stacked together... so can fool around when my gf comes.. :P
My bed from another angle and i have a couch to have different fooling around positions... XD
My studying place... look.. so clean.. =P
The blurred picture of my shirts and next to it is the cupboard where i keep my pants.. purposely blurred it so u cant see the mess me and my cousin made out of that rack.. XD
MY CRIB IN AUSTRALIA
Hello everybody… or.. YO MAN!! ( JAMAICAN TONE)… A week for passing up assignments… What a stressful week.. Luckily here still cold and nice.. so no complaints… just hard to get up from bed every morning… =P … Anywayz.. daylight savings is coming soon so there will be only 2 hour difference between here and Malaysia… which means….. I don’t know what it means.. haha.. guess I can talk to sze and gang already.. woohoo!! Guess they will also be busy with assignments.. and stuff… oh well.. at least can chat more I hope.. but u know what… daylight saving sucks in a way… even before April Fool was able to play a prank on me.. technology played a big one on me.. On Sunday, I was suppose to wake up early to go to church but lol and behold.. the time on my clock phone when back by one hour… Therefore alarm rang late…but I didn’t know at that time.. I thought I actually woke up early… then when I reached church.. everything had started and I was wondering why church had already started when its only 9am ( actual church time 10AM).. then my cousin had to tell me that the electronic devices actually had thought that daylight saving started on that day so there was mayhem but he only told me after church.. so I was practically thinking what the hell was happening… did church now start earlier or something.. lol.. quite embarrassing in a way... even in train stations and public places around Melbourne there was mayhem because of the automatic change in time.. and I thought the Aussies should be prepared for the change.. haha…. It’s my first time experiencing a change in time… so it was quite funny in a way of what had happen the whole day…
Pretty cool and busy holiday week for me I might say… but sadly I couldn’t make it for the Sydney trip.. damn.. I wanted to go to my Uncle’s place for the holidays but something came up and therefore had to postpone my trip and stay back here to finish my assignments.. L .. Oh well… there is always another day I guess.. but at least I got to speak to my uncle in Sydney so it still lighten up my day.. Most probably will go at the end of the year to celebrate the New Year’s there.. or maybe not.. but see how it goes… The fireworks is going to be ‘awesomer’ than the Moomba Festival one…. And I want to see!!! And the view will be perfect since my uncle stays in a big bungalow overlooking on to the Sydney bridge and harbour where the fireworks happen… Now u all know why I want to go.. haha.. Beautiful area from the pictures I saw.. T.T.. Havent been there myself cause my parents don’t want to go…. Only been to Sydney once in my life and its pretty cool if u were there to visit but never thought it as a place for studying.. too crowded.. not as peaceful as Melbourne.. J but maybe it has changed for the better… who knows.. I haven’t been there for ages so there could be changes.. I hope.. that’s why I wanted to go!!!!
So…. Since I couldn’t go.. I stayed back to take pictures of the house to show all of u my living conditions here… Of course don’t compare with the student colleges/ lodgings here.. theirs is way way better than mine.. XD… haha… in a way yes… let me explain… my bed.. is consists of two beds stack together like the one in KL last year.. just that this year.. it has shrank to a single size.. Does it mean that im thinner now?… wahaha.. XD and im still wondering why do I always get two stacked bed? So I can fool around when my gf comes over? Haha… just give me one.. should be enough right? Hmm.. guess it makes it more comfortable.. but I don’t really mind.. I can sleep anywhere.. from the couch to the floor if there wasn’t a bed.. it’s just sleep anyways and I don’t get much nowadays.. so no point having a nice bed.. haha.. =P and then.. my studying area is in the kitchen… close to all the food stuff… (*drools*)… im soooo gonna come fat.. but according to my uncle.. It’s the warmest area in the house cause the heater is there.. so that means I wont freeze during winter.. wahaha.. and the good thing about the studying place is that I have my own computer and own place to dump all my junk… just need somebody to help me clean it up once in a while tho.. XD.. yah right.. like I can mess the place up.. I have grown up.. I clean the place.. that’s why from the picture u can see that its clean…u have to imagine that those papers not there tho.. haha.. normally its clean.. just that.. ermm.. well.. its assignment week.. yah.. that’s right… cause its assignment week.. =P.. soooooo… moving on….. u must be wondering where I keep my clothes.. and no.. its not in the living room.. oh yah… I forgot to say eh.. My bedroom is my living room… anywayz.. well… my clothes is outside in the yard….. haha.. no la.. they cannot be that evil right?? Hmm… there might be possibility that they are… anywayz they are not.. my clothes are all in my cousin’s room..(hehe.. an excuse to catch my cousin and his gf doing stuff).. ‘Walks into the room without knocking’ “Oops.. sorry… was here to take my clothes… carry on with ur …ermm.. actions, I will be out after u all are done”.. haha.. XD.. it will be sooo cool… but im not that kind of person… really….who m I kidding.. wahahaha(*evil laugh*) and anyways that’s all I have to show on this week’s episode of “CRIBS”… You all have seen my casa…. now get out!!!... LOL… I always wanted to say that.. Yeah.. but seriously.. that’s my area.. the rest is restricted area.. so cant show u all…(*got thongs and underwear hanging all over the place so cannot show*)…. Oh did I forget to mention.. I actually m currently staying in a whore house… haha.. kidding..kidding.. It’s a very cozy house even tho I have not many luxuries here(MY MERC!!!!!! T.T) but I guess its time to learn to suffer a bit even tho this isn’t really called suffering but im dropping my standards one step at a time… so soon.. I will have to learn to survive with limited supply.. and hopefully grow from there..
Like I said before.. coming to Australia, its not really about looking for hot chicks or to party or to get drunk and party some more… but to me… its about learning… learning how different cultures react or how people here treat each other compared to Malaysia… learn to survive without our parents, although currently im still depending on their cash but sooner or later that will have to stop and I will have to learn my ways through life by working… forget about the luxuries.. forget about depending on our parents… I don’t really want to depend on them.. but its because im not working that I cant support them instead of them supporting me… what my friend said is true.. make money… then have a great life later… but to tell u the truth.. I already have had my great life.. its time to study hard to let my parents have that great life and hopefully I will be able to do well.. its going to be tough but never give up..
Even tho, im still longing for love from my one true love.. im still not going to give up chasing that dream or promise tat I made to my ex… to do well for her… and I will always love her.. ;) and oh yah… do well for my parents too.. :P .. haha..
I want to be able to be like my dad when he was young.. I want to feel the suffering that he had during uni to do well… to strive for the best but I guess.. it’s a new generation where there are soo many kinds of distractions that stop u from that.. but I can see how my uncles and parents studied hard when they were young… and I hope I can follow in their footsteps and be good at this crappy course.. lol..
Anywayz.. its late here.. and I have a curfew… I have to sleep by 1230am.. and its already 1240am.. shit… oh well.. suffer a bit for the passion of writing.. =) Anywayz… have a great week guys and gals and have a nice day!!!
