So.. today I'm awake early!haha.Actually just finished a few games of Dota with my housemates.Now I'm feeling as drowsy as ever.oh well.. I've got to update as often as I can... otherwise why blog!I mean if not I could just do a diary.I chose it this way I have to do this this way.haha.I had long breaks today.I also settled many things today.The one thing that worry me most was the statement of fees I was supposed to get before the holidays last week.I've faxed it back so my parents could pay the bills.Since I'm back in Perth,I've been back to eating just pies diet.hahah it's not exactly a diet but it's the cheapest food stuff around that could be purchased.Poor me!.. that's right.=)

Sneaky people always have their way behind things.They earn money dirty, and on the next day, dirty money could be used on the streets.It's the easy way out.They earn money the same as you do... just faster,much faster.It's just like racing but not being able to see the headlights of the other car.That's most embarassing.I guess that's why they people want to modify their car even if it's costly.

ahh.Now in Perth.Thought I had a day rest before school starts.I didn't know I had school today.That's really a setback for me as soon as I enter the house.Hahah.Anyway I was very tired cause yesterday I unpacked all my luggage.It takes a long time.So what about the world today..all I can say.. if time flies.I'm back home! after some long lessons.

I went to Carousel today to pay my bills during my break.hehe so you can think for yourself how long the break is=).I ate good food today!

Talking about how time flies.Two weeks have gone past!Oh well.. haven't really done what I want to do,met all I want to meet.. but yup.. have no regrets coming back this holiday.I'll be going back tomorow morning.It's an early morning flight.At about 12.45am I'll be leaving the skies of Kuching... or a more common phrase, the land of the hornbills.

Since I'm lazy,I am going to risk not knowing the weather when I reach Perth.Hot or cold I don't know.Anyway.. today I went to the schools sports day.We were up early today.I woke up at about 5.20am and got ready by 6am.Tzy Shih ,Tzy Zhing came to pick me and Melvin up.Quite amazing we woke up that early just for the sports day.After all, we are no more Lodgians.We arrive in Jubilee ground at about 6.40am.That's early as the school sports only starts at about 7.30am.We just sat there and waited.How patient.This year's champion is red house.Damn oh well... it was a close battle between the red and blue with the difference in several points.

Later on ,we went to eat at Hai Pa Wang which is located near the stadium.We ate good food!But we ordered too much.A pity we couldn't finish.A few moments later we heard of an accident.Well we went to take a look at it.It was minor in the sense that there are no injuries.The cars however.. look quite bad.

Have you ever heard of last minute shopping?My luggage sort of quadrapled after that!haha I exagerated but.. it's quite frustrating to see your luggage increase in size doesn't it.It did not quadraple but I've got more to carry.I think I need another luggage.

The tendency to play games is a real scenario.That is addiction.Addiction is no good as the phrase go...' too much of everything is no good'.I don't know how many people actually accept that phrase.I for one do not.Imagine if I had a mountain of treasure.. that would be good.Actually , in my opinion, it depends on how we manage them and also on what game we are playing.Games can mean many things.For a hunter a game might be a deer?For meanies a game might mean just criticise for the sake of hatred.And for certain people, relationships such as friendships can be game.Therefore games are wide issues.They are not just what people view,have fun and play in televisions or the computers.Depending on the game you play,you will show your personality.Nothing else to say.. but some games requires big risks.

Derek | 1:48 pm

If anyone should shout out their opinions... they should.I mean isn't that what a blog is all about?Anyway it hasn't been that way.Nobody wants to tell total truth in their blog.Why?Obviously.. the truth isn't very nice and friendly.It's a total turnover.Sometimes, you could say it shows the dark side.

The worst case scenario is 'blog confrontation'.These things happens when someone pulls a trigger and starts off a big issue.Bah.. anyway... it's quite offending.It is like criticising publicly.Rumours spread hell fast.And who knows, the victim might just walk the streets without knowing that they are more famous than a celebrity."Everyone know's who you are,you don't know who everyone else is".That's a scary feeling.That is what I think.Maybe some people prefer to be famous.. I don't know.But.. to me what's worse than losing privacy?

Yesterday, I went did mention that I went to Tzy Wen's house in the morning.After that, at 10pm last night I went to the open air market.There I met up with lots of people.Adrian went too.. The group which is about 15 people.We did nothing much.Just had a drink and update each other bout what's happening and at times and hear some stupid jokes.

After that I went back.I took a ride in Melvin's car along with Adrian,William and Elsie.Luckily his free music service wasn't effective.haha.His Ipod ran out of battery so it isn't as loud as before.Luckily haha..not that I hate music but when you be a passenger in his car,you will know.haih... youngsters these days=p hehe.

What now... .I've felt very tired to update my blog these few days.It's either too tired or just pure laziness.Yesterday I arrived home at 11pm something.Slept at 12pm.This morning , I woke up at 5am today.Went to my friends house.They were supposed to fly to KL tomorow.Oh well.Guess one of them got lucky and got a JPA interview.So now they will be leaving on Tuesday.Hehe.. good.. at least still have their company till we leave.

Well, we set up our computer's as early as 7am.Quite nice.After that, we just went online.I actually watched some hijacking drama.Something as real as on the tv.Well then that's a fake.But anyway,it's quite cool.We laughed all the way.It's just like a conquering drama.I ate lunch at Tzy Wen's house.It's nice.haha.Later on , we went to eat again.It's just not enough.:).

After that we went to school.Haih.Just..walked around and so on.I'll update more later .. as .. the dya is still young=)

Today I went to play badminton again.However, this time at Sarawak Club.This time William booked the courts cause he is a member.We started playing at 10am this time.Finished at about 12am.It's not as intense as last time but it still takes it's toll on someone that plays just a few days ago.After that we showered.Honestly,the shower room at kgs is better than that in Sarawak Club.

After playing we had lunch at Sarawak Club.I had some fried rice with salted fish.It was quite nice.Melvin had another dish..I don't know what to call it but I know he ordered an extra chicken wing dish.Later on , we went to Sarawak Plaza.Melvin wanted to look for xbox games.He bought 3 games.You can see from that that he is very eager to bring his xbox over.. but can he do that?hehe.

Later on , we had some time to waste before Melvin need to go to school and pick up his siblings so we went to coffee bean and had a seat.Had some time watching the tv there.And we found out.. something.... that time passed so slowly.At 1.30pm we decided to go back.I then went back to my grandmother's house.Stayed there for a while and then followed my mother home.

For supper .. I went to sidewalks again.Went there cause my uncle came back to Kuching today.So.. it's quite a happening day.hehe

Derek | 10:01 pm


Monday, April 18, 2005

Went out to eat supper at 10pm today.Well it was a short one but I met with a lot of people.In short, it was a big group.Therefore meaningful.hehe.I ate gu bak mee there.At least there's something to spice up my day.It's not so boring after all.Also.. got to know that Joel is leaving tomorow..so farewell..hope to see you soon.=)

Derek | 11:23 pm

Skype is a free internet telephony that works better than that of msn messenger.It also works as well as msn messenger in certain chat operations.However, msn messenger is more popular cause of it's long period of existence while skype is just new.Even though that is so, I think that skype will gain on msn soon.This is because it's main feature,internet telephony is enough to attract users.It is free and has a very high audio quality.Well... you can see what skype is all about here

The reason I'm typing about this is just merely because I have very little Skype contacts... and it hurts my eye very much.haha.I know msn is more than enough.. but since I already have that programe in my computer I should use it to the maximum capacity ... rite?

_____________________________________________________________________

I did nothing much today.It was quite a boring day.Well I spent half my day sleeping.When I woke up I went on to the computer.After I got bored , I just went on to the tv.Such a boring day.

Also in the morning there's not a lot of people to chat with.Either they are in school ,or they wake up later than me.Luckily the internet connects the world.So where did I go?I played online games, check out product sites.. -(electronics).hehe.

Oh.. and I read news online.That's nothing new for me cause I don't get newspapers down my doorstep.Cause most of the time I would be at my grandmother's house.Reading all those articles just show us how the world is going on.I'm seeing something in particular about the way the world run.It always reflects inequality.If not.. at most times.

Have anyone felt like breaking down before?I mean.. physically.. hehe not emotionally.Well I felt that yesterday.heheh.To play badminton , I woke up at 8am.Then I went to eat breakfast with my family.Well that's a typical Saturday for me here.My parents send me to KGS that morning.I arrived at about 10am.That is very early.

Melvin , William , (Danny ,Daryl) my brothers and I played badminton till 2pm plus.It was very tiring.When playing, we didn't feel much pain.We just had fun.Later on,it's just too much.10am to 2pm is very long.We didn't really play a game with rules.We just hit the shuttle.. in short,we played for fun only.After that we took a shower.That was refreshing.. but not good enough.haha I still felt very tired.

Later on, we had lunch at the food court inside KGS.The food was nice.. but expensive.Argh..I have expected it anyway.It's a club.We were supposed to leave earlier than Melvin.But, my mother's car ran out of battery, so it ended up opposite.I reached home at 4pm.That wasn't nice...plus.. it was a hot day.

Later in the night I went to eat at Fu Bin.A place behind the astro office.It's quite nice and I ate my full.

Today, I went eat at the foodcourt near pbk.Well I wanted the ch kueh but it was gone.So I took the kueh tiaw instead.hehe.After that,I just stayed at home.Later on in the afternoon, I accompanied my mother.She drove all the way to 13th mile.. just to do her tupperware business.*sigh* poor me.haha.Before that, I dropped by Crystal's house to pass her the Joseph dvd.

On the way back , I ate 'ais kacang'.It wasn't really to fill me up...it was just to satisfy me.hehe.

A project spanning 5 continents is aiming to map the history of human migration via DNA.

How cool is that.=).This genographic project collects DNA from 100000 people worldwide to show a picture of how the earth was colonized.All the data collected will be a subject to lab and computer analysis.Genetic data will then be collected.This project is funded by National Geographic,IBM and Waitt Family Foundation Charity.

Yesterday I went to Tzy Wen's house .I went there,hooked on the internet and went online for a while.Did nothing much then.. was just checking websites on my daily list.Later on , when they woke up,we started playing warcraft 3 again.Joel and Melvin came to join us later on.After that, Fay Ying,Joanne and Jocelyn came.It was just like Tzy Wen's house having a party.Fullhouse!.Actually, we just grouped up there and went to the school.We went during lunch time and left after lunch.So basically we just went to see the teachers.For lunch , we went to the new food court somewhere near Tabuan Jaya.All of us ate 'decently' hehe.. so we do not look like we come from the jungle.

At 6pm we met up at Richmond's place for dinner.At 7.30, we went to watch the Pacifier.It was quite nice.Had a fun time laughing around.What to expect..it's a comedy!Haha.Cinema's these days.. why so little people!!.haha.Opps.. it's weekdays.. hehe I forgot.Anyway, we took the initiative to go and buy the tickets very early after lunch.But it seems that we didn't have to do that.Sigh.. what a waste of time and petrol.That's a good precaution though..I remember I've missed a few movies because all the tickets were sold and those that wasn't,it is not going to give a nice view of the movie.

At night,some of us were still hungry.Tzy Wen,Tzy Shih,Vui Leng ,William,Melvin and I went to the open air market to eat.Vui Leng ate a lot that day.haha.. cause he's going back today.In fact I think he is in Kl already.So after that,we got home.And poor William... got a tummy ache cause of Melvin's loud music!lol.

Many people don't find a chance to see a whole group of friends after their last year of school.Well,if compared to them, I feel very fortunate as I was able to meet the majority of them yesterday at Bing's.

We just sat there and talked.We talked about nearly everything.I saw Indra.I mention him because he is going back for National Service today,so seeing him yesterday was quite special indeed.

After chatting,I followed Bryan,Vui Leng ,Melvin and Tzy Shih to a place called Mini Hong Kong.I've never heard of it before all my life in Kuching!.I was so excited.However when I reached there it turned out to be Fort Maghereta.Dont mind the spelling... I've forgotten.haha.

Sunday, April 10, 2005

Yesterday I woke up at 8am!Earliest since the last few months.I went out with my family for breakfast.Hahah.That's refreshing my tastebuds.=D.After that, my brother went to Sarawak Club to play badminton while I went to Tzy Wen's house.Joel was there.I actually only had a game with him cause he went home early.

I had Tzy Shih burn me a Jospeh Dvd.Thanx a lot!.haha.Later on , we played warcraft3.Not the normal ones but the edited maps.Crazy.. even with cheating with money, we couldn't really win.After that we went to watch a movie.Ring 2."Samara".hahah.Only four of us went to watch the movie.Tzy Wen,Tzy Shih, Melvin and I.Bryan couldn't make it while...Vui Leng didn't want to watch that movie.hahah oh well.Had to admit the movie was quite scary... but I don't get why people go in adn turn on their handphones.It's a waste of money to play handphones when watching a movie.Well if you go to watch a horror movie,and you try to avoid fear ... you might have well not go in.

After watching the movie, we went to the open air market.There's lots of traffic jam.All because of the Malaysian Idol.. we couldn't find a place to park.That's sad.. so we went home.I went back to Tzy Wen's house to get my labtop and my Joseph dvd and a copy of the frozen throne.Then my parents came to pick me up.

I think I would be going to school tomorow.Or more accurately Tzy Wen's house 1st.haha.I would bring cables this time.. if I remember.

Derek | 3:50 pm


Friday, April 08, 2005

I'm back in Kuching already.The first thing I did when I came back was went to eat some beef noodles.=).It's a long time since I had a taste of that.After that I went to my grandmother's house.There I got stuck to the tv watching chinese series cause there is none of those in Australia.My brothers and sister were still in school.At about 15 minutes to 5pm, I went with my mother to pick them up.I didn't drive.I also heard that there's a big thing happening in Tabuan Jaya tomorow.Blur!.After that I went to cut hair.Well it's a lot shorter and generous than the haircut I did in Perth.=).At 7.30pm I went to pick my father at the airport.He just came back from a business trip.Oh well.. might be going for supper tonight.Who knows?*grins*

Tuesday, April 05, 2005

After a long time , I finally have a topic to write about.It's not really a topic, but rather it is a thought.How our mind works.I really have no idea.Most people just follow and abide by the norm.When there's game , we are awake.When there's class or anything concerning study, we start to slowly doze off...either that or get distracted.

What's the difference between them both?They both require participation.Without participating, there will be no results.Of course people give excuses saying that games are more fun.Oh well, there have been people talking about learning the fun way which requires the teacher to teach in a fun way.It have not succeeded.No matter who you go to,the smart people, the average, when you ask them about study, they will sigh and complain.You don't and will never see that when you ask them to play games of any type.

My conclusion, it's really hard to keep diciplined for books.

____________________________________________________________________

I just endorsed my ticket today.I went and ate lunch at Taka and then returned to the city.Melvin went shopping for comics while I tag along.I got a drink cause I was super thirsty.And guess what.. now the weather is super hot.It's crazy...unpredictable.Of course , if you have tv in your house that's a different thing.But for me it is unpredictable.

Derek | 3:35 pm


Monday, April 04, 2005

I just finished super strings of test today.I made such a fuss about it and now it's over.sigh.Guess that's life.heh.I'm happy it's over.=).Which means in this few days, all I would be doing is to countdown to holidays.

Tomorow, I am going to skip school.I have to go to the MAS office to endorse the ticket... if not I can't get home.Well... it's not a serious matter anymore since my exams have passed and all.Yeah.Feel so relieve and relaxed now.The only other test left for me is an english test.Even if I wanted to study.. where could I study from.Maybe blogging is good practice?

Sometimes I wonder whether we are blind.Just now during break, I went to the International Student Office.I went there basically for an interview but well there's more.Since I had to wait , I went to use the computers that were available.Melvin also used them.Jacqueline was sitting next to us but it was only after Pei Ren came in and said .. ,"wa... everyones here"... it was until then that we realise each others presence.And that was so funny.Soon after that Beverly came in..what a coincidence.

I feel so lazy now that all the test is over.Maybe it's just the holiday mood .. I don't know..=)

Derek | 6:13 pm


Sunday, April 03, 2005

Yesterday was a long day.I was supposed to go to the city to do a bit more rather than to go see Melvin suffer from getting a tattoo.*Grins*.Well I watched him suffer his ordeal for an hour.. I am so patient.Anyway, I was supposed to endorse my open ticket to get back to Kuching.Unfortunately the MAS office was closed.That, actually beats my purpose to go to the city that day.

Hehe.. Luckily I had another purpose.We had something up our sleeves.A surprise.

Early in the morning, at about 11.00am , Beverly came to pick Melvin and I up.We went for lunch first.Well notice I didn't mention breakfast.We skipped it.Hahah..it's normal!.After breakfast we 'patiently' followed Beverly around shopping.What to do... she had the car.haha jk.We just had to spend our time till 2pm.Then,I watched Melvin suffer.hehe.Zhang Xiang actually took some photos of it.

Actually, I came to city innocent.Till after lunch when Derek Sim called Melvin,talked to him and then asked for the phone to be passed to me.Well when he told me I was quite blur cause he wanted us to be back late.I certainly can't do that... cuz by 3.30pm we had nothing to do in the city.However we arrived in Vickery at about 4.30pm.That was so early but that doesn't matter .When we arrived home,Jacqueline arrived soon after that.I wonder why he didn't suspect anything.hehe.Well, we sort of contained him home by playing computer games, chat in a group and so on.We managed... for some time until he got hungry.He wanted to go Northbridge for dinner. ... we delayed him... till the other organizers are back from buying back pizzas and the cake.When they came back, I just felt so relieved.They hid the pizza's and the cake.Since Melvin kept saying we were going Northbridge, we just followed..(end of surprise?)..no.We walked out halfway and then,Beverly got a phonecall,Jacqueline forgot her handphone!I forgot my jacket!.So we went back.hahah

Then, the lights were turned off and the cake came in and some 'idiot' asked,"Who's birthday is it?".He was really blur.. it was his.haha.The plan to eat at Northbridge was canceled.We ate the pizza's and had some lamb.I didn't touch the cake though I was so full.

After that we went to King's park.We went there for a walk and for the atmosphere.Nice view and cooling.What else did we get.... We got to see some drunk barbaric women.When we saw them, we felt so uncomfortable so we moved and went to Northbridge.Not to eat.. but just to drink bubble tea and play cards.

It was an interesting day.That was good.But I wasted one day of study and tomorow I'll have four test.It's like...................... argh.But after that I'll have a relaxed week and I'll be going back on the 8th April for the rest of the holiday.

p.s About the tattoo thing.Just read it and know it.Don't spread it around.
