January Recap of being back in Subang
In: General
31 Jan 2010In unchronological point forms, this is what I’ve done this month ever since I returned from Melbourne and Brunei: – met up with the u8 gang at two Friday night mamak sessions at Tanjung. The first on the 15th was a small group with Jon, Ding, and Wai Hong (where we eventually returned to Jon’s [...]
The Great Southern Touring Route – Day 2
25 Jan 2010Sunday, 3rd January 2010 Invariably all of us were rudely woken up by my handphone’s alarm to How I Met Your Mother’s theme song at 5am, but as I was sleeping on the top bunk above Estee (and the double decker bed does not have a ladder, so climbing in complete darkness seems foolish), so [...]
The Great Southern Touring Route – Day 1
18 Jan 2010Saturday, 2nd January 2010 Despite telling fellow road trippers to wait at the Southern Cross Station, in front of Hungry Jack’s, at 7.30am sharp, I managed to wake up at 5am, turned off my alarm and fell asleep, then woke up again at 7.40am when Esther rang me up. fml. I was seized with a [...]
Detaching from Melbourne/Brunei
In: In Transit
14 Jan 2010I never thought this departure would rattle me, but it did. My entire 5 days in Brunei was pleasant and entertaining thanks to Desmond for the most gracious hospitality I’ve ever encountered—something I was very surprised for as his dad insisted on paying for all of my meals—and his friend Pei Yi, who accompanied us [...]
At the C6 Gate of KLIA
In: In Transit
10 Jan 2010My menial 8-hour flight from Melbourne to Kuala Lumpur was punctuated by an incident when I wanted to purchase a AUD$9 meal (some BBQ chicken) and the air stewardess told me that they don’t accept foreign coins. This put me to a spot as I only had mostly coins with me, and how the eff [...]
A Melburnian Rebirth
In: Melbourne Life
8 Jan 2010Still swirling within that vast spectrum of emotions, I had some final arrangements done to my room: the professional steam cleaner from FastTrack (a wog I believe) dropped by at 7.30am sharp. I had to help him carry some heavy artillery (I exaggerate) to begin that steam cleaning process, which involves spraying liquid on my [...]
Cling and uncling
In: Melbourne Life
7 Jan 2010I cling and uncling to what I’m about to exit. I’ve begun packing most of my belongings—mostly apparel and souvenirs—on Monday, a day after I returned from my Great Southern Touring Route trip with Esther, Esther’s aunt, and Estee, and I felt ready to leave. But as usual my heart oscillates between a rank sadness [...]
Fireworks Storm
2 Jan 2010I was in front of my laptop at about 8.45pm on New Year’s Eve when I heard my name being yelled from outside my window. Sliding it open, I discovered Ivan literally right in between the birth of a storm, him breathlessly talking about a beautiful sight of a low-hanging moon. “This is crazy,” I [...]
