What a day! I have never been as pissed off as I was today. I didn't get any dosage of my Internet routines until now. Yup, I was blocked to go online by those ********* ! Why? I suspected it must be my downloading some pics that Lolly sent me last nite through the msger. Eh, tu gambar aje la, bukannya pornographic pics. Buduhhssss ... I went to uni and there I was in my workstation figuring out what the heck happened to my PC, until I realised that I was not allowed the access to go online. I was on the verge of bursting into anger when I said to myself that it would not help at all. So I went back to the flat and started working on the draft that I have left untouched for 1 week. Well, it is still in progress though. Just bits and pieces to write, delete, re-write, re-type, etc etc etc. Ok, in other words, no Internet is also good so that I can focus better in my work, hehehehehe. Now I am not angry anymore.
Another highlight of the day was the Australian Idol 2005. After sitting in front of the TV for more than an hour, we were finally revealed that Kate has won the Idol title. Bravo gal! Though I have always had my preference on Emily, I thought Kate did fairly well too. She surely has sheer determination to win after trying for 3 consecutive years, and she is just 19. She won herself a contract with Sony (I think) and a Mazda. Emily, on the other hand, has always been one incredible singer. She is definitely going to make it big here in Australia. And I bet si Radio Besar mesti unhappy as Emily didn't win - itu kan fave singer dia. For me, if others can't appreciate the differences in others' talents, then s/he not really tasted what life is. Sometimes, you ought to realise that things do not get around to be in your favour all the time. Winning or losing isn't about being on the centre stage. It's having the courage to face the challenge and to believe in what you are doing that matter most -- like in the Impossible Dream -- as what Kate sang tonite. After the Idol punya show, we watched Queer as Folks and one French movie. Thanks to Super Lolly, now I am addicted to them too.
What else, hmmmm. I had quite a busy week minggu lepas actually. Let's see ... I went out to lunch with K. Yuss and her mates at the Monties Brasserie. I think the food there is quite delicious, and the ambience is certainly great for a get-together. I met Marie, Jean, satu makcik SPore (tak ingat dah nama dia) and Tim. LOL, terkejut bila nampak si Tim kat situ and he too. Makcik-makcik tu semua semuanya dah 60 lebih, but still studying. And Marie and Jean are actually half Abo. although they look as if they are pure mat saleh. They told me about their childhood - and I just couldn't believe what they have gone through. Not a sweet, but an unforgettable one I can assure you. Respect la sama dorang, walaupun dah ada cucu masih ada will to keep their mind ticking. Tim seperti biasa cakap byk and he apologised profusely when I first arrived about provoking me during the one day conference. Come on mate, I am not that easily offended la. Sheeesshhh ... kadang-kadang the state of being overly-concerned macam tu can really irritate you. The lunch went well, I enjoyed the company of the makciks and the chicken laksa.
Apa lagi ye ... ha, I went out to lunch with Sophie last Friday. Lepas lunch ngan geng K. Yuss, I think I should also do that with my other mates. So, I had lunch kat Engineering ngan Sophie. She isn't that bad actually, dia pun tak de kawan. Amin wasn't around and hehehehe, bagus jugak. Kalau bercakap ngan dia mesti tak bleh menang. Ada je benda yg tak kena. But I don't ignore them as much as before. And I think Sophie told him in Swahili that we went out together. Amin kata maybe we should do that more often memandangkan aku dah tak "skema". Cheh! Mulut laser betul. And he said that they have to appreciate the relationship with a Malaysian, duuuhhhhh.
Next, I had a haircut last Saturday. I told the hairstylist to make it short, so short it is now. After months tak gunting rambut, finally ada la rasa ringan sikit kepala. And tak de la selebet teruk sgt ... tapi masih selebet sikit. I really miss my trips to Sam's place. No one can beat him ... but Danae wasn't that bad too. At least it was better that the one that I had at Verona's.
Then, I went to Freo with Lolly last Sunday. Huh ... gi shoppinggg, makan kat Cicerello's lagi. I had seafood tray and Lolly had the grilled garfish. The serving was big ... and needless to say, we all punya perut pun jadi sekenyang yg boleh. Lepas makan, pegi melawat the Maritime Museum. Kat dalam museum tu ada byk maritime nyer historical exhibits. Melaka, Muar, Pahang, Penang, Pulau Sembilan, tu semua ada masuk lam map yg dilukis pada tahun 1657 (kalau tak salahnya). Can you believe that! Terasa macam going back to the past pulak. I was really amazed with some of the artefacts that they have there. Menarik sebenarnya ... Hehehehehe ... I like Freo during the weekends. Ada ramai orang, but semua pun santai saja. We had ice cream from Simmo's at the Cappuchino strip and as usual gi Market Square. Singgah at one secondhand book store - Elizabeth's. Best woooo ... dan jumpa quite a number of Malaysian tourists too. I talked to 2 masa dalam bas. The husband was nice but the wife, aiseehhhhhhh ... show off nyer lady. She must have thought that I might be one selebet looking student who's trying to make a pass at the hubby. Alooooooo makcik, ppl are trying to be nice to you, so tak yah la nak eksyen. Macam la aku ni kebuloq nak sgt kat laki hang. That's the reality here actually. Even the OZs greet and talk to you bila they see you, paling koman pun exchange smiles. Orang kita??? Hampehhh ... dia ingat dah cukup bagus datang bercuti di Perth for 1 week. Kiss my arse la kakak ... I should listen to K. Yuss, tak yah nak tegur orang dari Msia. Dorang bukannya appreciate pun. Kalau Datin tu tak pe la gak, ni alahaaaiiiii ... kerek semacam je . Mentang-mentang la aku pakai baju yg dah faded, jeans buruk, bawak beg plastik hang pandang rendah kat aku. Tak pe la ... biaq pi apa dia nak pikir. Yang aku tau ... the "real" aku adalah jauh lebih vogue dari apa yg dia pikir. Hahahahahaha perasan le plak ... bapak aku kata, biar orang ingat kita miskin, kita tak berduit, kita bodoh, kita tak tau apa-apa, as long as you keep your cool. Yang penting, kita tahu siapa kita yg sebenarnya.
OK ... this is a long post. Better stop here. Nak bobok ...
