29 Sep 2009Friday, 18th September 2009 It was a Friday night and I spent it blogging whilst waiting for some form of cards-related drunken debauchery to begin, when Ethan messaged me on GTalk telling me that Ivan had just came back and that they were going out to Docklands. It must be around 10pm when that happened, [...]
I’m still too incessantly busy to piece together a proper travel post, but pictures and some smaller details would have to suffice. So on the 6th September, a Sunday, I got up at 4.30am (had only 2 hours of sleep) to get ready for my Mt. Buller trip organised by my accommodation—we had to pay [...]
I forgot to write about this before, but I had attended two workshops organised by RMIT some weeks ago. One was a “How to Find Part-time Jobs in Australia” workshop where I did utilise the knowledge I have gained to try looking for some jobs but I decided against it in the end—as it is [...]

30 Aug 2009The week before I surrendered my soul to a half a semester-long imprisonment in the jail of studies and assignments, I had a blast going out and enjoying myself in the city of Melbourne, aided mostly by the Melbourne board of CouchSurfing. I’d have liked to go into detail of my days, of the conversations [...]
Despite all the turmoil of being thrown to the deep end of the pool where I’m very much left to my own devices, when I’m feeling more settled with the roller coaster of emotions (which pretty much boiled up on the recent weekend) finally dissipated and I can take a step back and gauge the [...]
Yesterday I was still in that awful concoction of homesickness that led to an intense bout of depression – so despite having befriended Alex (having a new friend is always an achievement in a completely foreign country) and inspected an accommodation at Walsh St, I walked towards the direction of CBD, and passed by: Flagstaff [...]
WARNING: 77 photos ahead. On a bright Monday morning few days ago at about 8.30am, Esther came literally a-knocking on my bedroom door – I roused, ate breakfast, chatted with Haensly while Esther tried to get some shut-eye, then when Heng was dropped off by his mum and Ding and Andy arrived, I went with [...]
Day 4 – Monday, 19th January 2009 Our last morning in Hong Kong began with us waking up at about 5.30 or 6am to get ready by around 7.20am or so, when our tour guide Garry would arrive to finally make the necessary last minute arrangements to send us back to the harbour. Final shot [...]

31 Jan 2009Day 3 – Sunday, 18th January 2009 I woke up at about 9 or 10am – I couldn’t be bothered to check the time, after the insane rush tour yesterday through HK plus the bit where we got ‘scammed’ quite a bit of our money, I’d prefer to relax as much as I could. My [...]

26 Jan 2009It’s the Chinese New Year. Subang Jaya is blanketed with a silence I never imagined I’d revisit again during the two major festive seasons in Malaysia, namely Hari Raya and Chinese New Year – it was when I took out the trash earlier that I noticed how strangely quiet my neighbourhood was, there were these [...]
