没什么

今天不知道搞什么鬼，真个人很低落，很没心情。
是因为今天是国庆日，可是又没（原因）庆祝的缘故吗？
还是是因为我没全力以赴，导致今早考试不顺利引起的吗？
或许是我白白浪费掉的三个小时 （1小时与朋友想怎么打发时间，1小时睡觉，1小时看哈利波特和吃午餐）？
也可能是因为回家单独的路程上胡思乱想，期望一些欲求不得的东西？
是不是给了自己太大压力造成的？
或许只是纯粹担心着今晚的结局？
相信应该不是荷尔蒙失调吧？
我真的不可以再这样了。

喜欢林宇中歌里其中一句：我渴望拥抱 切切寻找 不安的煎熬 心在片片散掉。

不想了，吃巧克力后睡觉。

保持微笑 : )

MERDEKA!!!!!

i typed this like a week ago coz i have midsems on 31/8..how sad

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Selamat Hari Kebangsaan! Happy 50th National Day!!! Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

When i was in secondary school, they used to give out flyers during the assembly, and we would sing a few patriotic songs, such as the 'tanggal tiga puluh satu, bulan lapan lima puluh tujuh' or perhaps the 'merahmu bara semangat waja, putihmu bersih budi pekerti' and a few others..

I was looking for one patriotic song, which had malay, chinese and tamil lyrics inside. But sadly, i cant find it. Instead, i found these: advertisements from Petronas. Gotta love these classics. i think they make the best festival advertisements. (I have included explainations as some of you may not understand the advertisement and the title are not official ones, i jus gave them one)
(omg, i can't believe the merdeka celebration in uwa actually had the same idea of celebrating national day...sad)

Warning: dont watch all these at one go..it'll be an emotional rollercoaster ride..:)


Merdeka 2004- Love of two world

A love story of an Indian Boy and a Malay girl. But sadly, the boy has to go back to Madras. Years later he came back...starring a M'sian famous singer cum actress cum host show presenter (the last lady you see, who's already married)

I like the background song -Belaian Jiwa


Merdeka 1999- Boat race

Pretty self explainatory


Merdeka - Old times

The group of people who jumped into the river from a wedding procession.
But as they chatted, the chinese guy realise that his indian friend had passed away one month ago at the same hospital. They continued to say that young people nowadays had the same hairstyle but only care about their own stuff.
The last bit was the circumsision ceremony and they were asking about the bit of skin which got cut off....
'Sharing the tears and the joy, one country walking together to achieve common goal'


Merdeka 1998- Made in Malaysia



And these also:

Hari Raya
2006- Reap what you sow

Read the subtitiles


No charge

That was Jawi he was writing.
A bit like mastercard ad..lol
The last bit was the kid at his father's tomb..


Forgiving

The main character is a M'sian actress.


CNY
2005- My Son's Here

Ok, this is hard to explain...it's in Hokkien and Malay subtitles (so unless u know one of them, you wont understand)
The one has a lawyer daughter and a son who sells Ling Zhi (to America, Hong Kong and even knows Andy Lau and also bought a house in Damansara (an expensive place))
The next one has a specialist (cardiologist) son in London who really earn money.
The third one, has a busy daughter who works in an famous auditing firm and earns AUD150,000 a year.
The fourth lady, has a son who always brings her around when his family go travelling. And she complains that it's so troublesome. And she's off to Cameron Highlands.
'The most priceless gift is a loving family'


Fighting Family

Like old chinese films...


2006- Po po (Grandma)

The red thing he was drwaing and selling was Chinese New Year decorations.
The chicken (if anyone is wondering) is an old-fashioned money- (my mum has a pig one..:@)


2007- Abandoned

Background music - dou shi ni
Ad is in Cantonese
Rarely see those people on bikes selling bread, cakes, titbits and other food around anymore
going to kena- going to get it (punishment)...that was weird translation
OMG..durian


Chopsticks

That old guy is an old M'sian actor.

There was one more i remember(by Kancil), set in the old china times, the princesses were pulling up their sleeves saying that it's so hot, but actually wanting to show off their jewelry...it was like 'hou yit ah' (so hot ah)-pulls up sleeves,show bracelet, another one- 'hou yit ah', fan herself and showing off her ring, another one say hai lo (yalo)- wipe her forehead and show her watch (i know, they dont have watch)...lol


Diwali (Deepavali)
2006-Raju Raaju

As they realise the commotion was no wedding, not a party or deepavali, the uncle had a shock.
rofl..this is free country wat (in chinese accent)
Mutton curry & chapati -Indian food
The dance was :Come Come! Come brother, come sister, come children, come come everyone..
A funny clip, made in Hindi movie style..


Light

Deepavali is the festival of light, so they would have lights put up around the house.
For more info on the festival, go wiki.


Pimpin' vs Paarti (grandma)

When young meets old, funny stuff happens...lol chest cold
Muniandy Chinnadorai was his name
murungakai- a type of indian food

These chinese songs were sang by M'sian singer last year to promote patriotism. Who say patriotic songs are boring..

So sad..so many concerts, celebrations, firework display in M'sia...

And raymond said it well. and i must add, in australia, people still have trouble accepting that, people of other races can be australian. It's like: 'So you are australian?' 'Yes.' 'But you are brown?!' 'Yes, but i was born in australia.' 'I see.' =.=''' . You wont find that in Malaysia. Chinese and Indian and other races are accepted open-heartedly as Malaysians. :)

God bless Malaysia!!!!!!!!

Meh Du Ka! (in foochow)
Mai Dit Ka! (in Canto)

back to MY life...

Saturday
Indonesia movie festival. Watched Koper (Lost Suitcase) which talks about the themes of corruption and the never ending, empty pursuit of a better life. Really looking forward to Titik Temu and Kado Kendo (26,27 Sept 07 in Alexander Library-state library). Go foreign language (art house) movie ..!!1

Kado Kendo(Kendo's talent)from melbourne




Titik Temu (Meeting Point) from ECU (or was it Murdoch?)



Went to work. Felt bad for making senpai going home late. Gomenasai.
Found Yasmin Ahmad’s blog. Arghhhh…I want to watch her movies- Gubra, Mukhsin and now a new movie- Muallaf.

Sunday
Went to church. It was er..evangelising?. Then headed off to UWA expo. Dent netball game on the same day. Looked really fun playing it in the rain. Hang out at the dent corner and chat. ISS-MCW dinner at 大长今 a Korean restaurant.

And sigh, I didn’t do any study throughout the weekend

Monday
Had to drill a tooth to make an occlusal Class I restoration (not that anyone understand). Since I have passed one (we have three tries and have to pass at least one), I decided to challenge myself and let the toughest tutor mark my tooth. And I got 41/55 (pass is 33/55 ok) which was …really good…nvm what I said…
Got a really touching msg. I m going to study hard, work hard, live a good life from now on. Hopefully not warm-warm chicken shit :-)

今天，又重见杰伦的棒-ness。也不是啦，只是喜新厌旧。

a new movie from singapore!!!! 881...about opera performance held during the hungry ghost festival (七月歌台)...or at least that's wat i thought
interesting bits: 881 is papaya (i think)... director is a young guy (i tot royston a girl's name)...features May and Choy...

click here (dont know why cannot copy) and director's blog (i like one of the OST)...


and my lecturer posted this a while ago...awesome guy...but after every of his lecture, there's a lot of stuff to go over....

Wk32.5

Ok.
So, FRIDAY
Wagged/Pon-ed my first lec…muahaha…felt so good sleeping in and attending just one lecture at 1pm

I thought I could have earned a bit of money by going to work instead of going to CS quiz night/ ASIA charity dinner/ SMA dinner and spend (around) $10/ $55/ $30 respectively. BUT~~~~ my boss cancelled the job last minute. So, wasted my time. All wells

SATURDAY
Interyear basketball games. Thought I could give them some support by going there and er ..support. who knows? I was the only one..=.=’’’…I thought a lot of ppl from my year will be going…sigh…and even stupid-er..they messed up the bookings for the court. I’ll spare the details to prevent any unwanted embarrassment. And they changed place. And I cant be bothered following.

SO, I went back slacked a while, and went to work…night shift…awesome senpai there who helped me out…arigato deep down from my heart..

And went to my fren’s birthday…in vic park straight after…awesome night…took some photos, met up with some frens, got a bit tipsy and that’s pretty much ..:)

anyone interested? if yes, contact me. deposit first then his face..wuahaha

nice colours & atmosphere

And the highlight of my week…

SUNDAY
After so many stuffups during my week, I was a bit worried that something bad might happen. Not bad, but as in unexpected that might jus throw my whole plans off.

Anyways, a few frends and I went to

60th Indian Independence Anniversary Cultural Carnival..omg so long

It was awesome (pardon my limited vocabulary), and their dress..fuyo..even me as a guy found it colourful. So why did I went? My frends preformed (2 from dent, 1 from med and someone from health sciences), and it’s cheap..ahah..

It was awesome. Performances:classical dance(the best I reckon), bollywood dance (my frends were in there), Punjabi folk dance, contemporary dances, instrumental and vocal medley (powerful voice), bhangra (supposedly the most popular dance), Goan musical performances. And there’s samosas.

the classical dance

the dance my frens were in...they r like the talk now & videos
will b circulated around the common room..lol

bhangra

the concert hall itself..:)

And to quote my frend…how does it feel to be a minority (me as chinese) in a minority? At home…awhhh~~

And I realize something. ‘Boys and girls’ doesn’t really apply to me anymore. It’s ‘Ladies and Gentlemen’ now. Well it’s jus what you want to think I suppose.

Really had too much sad stories these few days…random blogs, songs, mv, & GREY’S ANATOMY!!!! Sigh…

And jus before I slept, a rumour has it that there will be a meteor shower. I would really like to see one. I’ve seen Haley Comet but meteor shower is totally different. Like how they show it drama, it’s so romantic, so mysterious, and making a wish on a meteor jus seem so ..awesome (lol). Ah ..dreams

I’ll post the photos up if they are clear enuf & if I have time & if I have the patience...(edit: up)

a song to share: 李吉汉-随意门
i dunno why suddenly so crazy about it.

妄想与计划只是一线之差。计划得太完美就是一种妄想。实际的妄想可以是一个好的计划。

Wk 32

The week that was:

MONDAY :
had a practical lab. learnt how to use high speed drill to drill a tooth. we all finished quite fast (it IS high speed). so what do you do when finished your practice, have lots more of extra teeth and have a high speed drill in your hand? you drill somemore...(me only actually)

smiley face

coconut tree and sun

a(n anatomically incorrect) tooth on a tooth

oh, they are the same size as our normal tooth, each of them is about a five cents coin that big...so they are quite small...talk about skill

went to Curtin clinic (which sadly wasn’t in Curtin) to play around with the dental chair. second step towards becoming a dentist


TUESDAY:
ended early as always. so, went to watch simpsons…it was really funny. it was nice to have a break from the nothingness I have been experiencing since wk 1.
how do you address a parent? surname I suppose.
slept very late that night to finish an assignment


WEDNESDAY:
actually, shud hv wrote it here. slept very late to finish a stupid dietary analysis- effects on oral health.

For those who are reading,
these may cause tooth decay: carbohydrates (rice, pasta, bread), sweet stuff (soft drink, fruit drink, ice cream)
these may prevent tooth decay: meat, oily stuff, nuts, fibrous veges, fruit (try to avoid acidic ones), milk (& cheese & yogurt), tap water, sugarless chewing gum

slacked the rest of the day- watched ‘Thank God You’re Here’- got my weekly dose of laughs

China started their countdown to next year's Olympic on 8/8/08- talk about triple fatt. come to think of it, they are really lucky. 1. if China was in the southern hemisphere, it would b winter and they cant have summer games on that date. 2. the next oympics is in 2008 not 2007 or 2009. 3. if their lucky number was sth like 13 it jus wont happen -13/13/2013...

THURSDAY:
nothing much except that i was late for lecture, was too tired to listen to the same lecture, slept half an hour before sitting for a quiz which didn’t even require much learning (ok, a bit, but it was fairly basic). oh and finally got our clinical coats..:) third step..

to Singaporeans, Happy National Day. see, we Malaysians don’t hate you. we jus don’t like you…jk

went to this National Day Parade event held by SSS. was interesting but boring at the same time. they broadcasted the NDP live (with 5 mins delay). at first I thought it was in the morning until I realise it’s still bright at 6pm in s’pore or m’sia. there’s food. roti prata, laksa, ramli burger…mamak style with all the shouting, smell, and cheap price brought to Perth.

a poor shot

changing the pheme password is jus annoying

The week that will be…coming soon.

今天

今天超冷，冷到讲话都冒烟。出门到进lecture hall，一路上傻乎乎的吸呼吸呼，自己傻笑。

今天超闷，别人也有同感。上lecture都懒洋洋，lab也是无精打采，不知道是不够睡，还是学的东西难到闷。

今天的晚餐很失败，煮出来一塌糊。

今天有大领悟。脑里突然出现孟子说的一句：天将降大任于是(edit:斯)人也，必先苦其心志，劳其筋骨，饿其体肤，空乏其身，行拂乱其所为（其实还有下两句，只是我们没有学：。。。其所为，所以动心忍性，增益其所不能）。我天天凭毅力读书，天天上课昏昏欲睡，天天下午肚子饿，天天觉得生活无聊没意思，可是还是好好的活下去，不打抢，不喝酒，不赌博。看来，天要降大任于我也（还是已经降了？），乃呜呼哀哉。。。

今天想起之前，玩着电子钢琴时，以为作了一首曲，还蛮好听的。再弹第二次时，才发现，原来自己在弹着是由D大调卡农移调下一个全音的C大调卡农。顿时失望一下。

今天要变明天了。。。
