why are overseas trips soo frustrating?

It's only a couple more hours till I get on that goddamn car and speed off to the airport... the only problem with going off on an overseas trips are... well the packing of stuff... and truthfully it is irrefutably the only task that is worst than doing assignments...

I always find out the frustration involved in packing for overseas trips EVERY year... *sigh... you would probably know by this point that all I'm gonna do in this blog is nag and throw tantrums...

First thing first... make sure that when you are packing you planned the storage ahead from purchasing the goods... see... the thing is you might find that the airplane luggage poilicies have indeed changed... from the previous 30 kg per person to only 20 kg per person... we are talking about Qantas here... and mind you this is frustrating for me since my home country has WAY too many relatives and friends to share the goods with and noticably all my goods are basically chocolates and err... more chocolates... plus some popcorns courtesy of Kernels this year... and do you know how heavy chocolates are?!? They're bloody heavy! And for your information I can't use a luggage coz the luggage itself weighs a ton (slight exaggeration) but honestly... in the end all the things inside that cardboard boxes are going to be spent giving to people!! So much for sharing and caring... and it's like this EVERY year too!! *hicks poor me... oh well... I guess I gotta live with it...

Second when you are packing make sure that you are the only one there packing the stuff... coz you know it wasn't very helpful with a lot of people sharing their opinions on what should go where... and it's annoying! Ok ok... I know that I'm being harsh talking about this... but anyway... if you're really good with packing stuff make sure you're the only one packing it and seal it completely so no one would be able to peek inside and re-assemble where everything are...

Third... hmm... come to think of it there is no definite third but yeah... I guess that's all the nagging and tantrums over... I guess... I know that by the time we get there some of my stuff would probably be removed because all over I have 25 kg worth of stuff in boxes... (which is better than the previous 32 kg of stuff) and I still hate Qantas for having that policy of 20 kg per person... hopefully they will allow me with this slight overweigh of luggage...

wish me luck~

Hi Hi ^--^ it's late at night... I'm bored and I thought I might as well do this since I got err... nothing to do... It's some of the drawings that I'm kinda proud of but need improvements too... so... I guess I'm gonna embarass myself by showing this but... enjoy ^--^

I was soo obsessed with Ragnarok Online Game at that point that I just want to create some kind of characters... and here are the results:

There are actually two Sages that I made because... well.. I was just retarded at the time... =__=

The following two are just the ones that I'm kinda semi-proud of...

2 more days...

*sigh It's only 2 more days but my mood's not lifting... I'm soo tired... from running errands and unfortunately laziness from shopping... yes for your info I haven't shop around a lot... Most of it is due to the easiness in obtaining the products from the nearest local supermarket and my lack of physical exertion has forced me to just do it tomorrow =__=" yes if any of you know when it's exactly ONE day before I take off... funny how life is right? So tired and yet I make not much effort in attempting to buy these things to bring back home... Plus I don't wanna shop all alone TT__TT

Yeah anyways... today's a bit weird coz I don't feel like doing anything which means I am writing this half alive... actually thinking back to yesterday this is about the same feeling I got yesterday... Gluing myself in front of the computer wondering what to do and in the end I just basically glue myself in front of the comp with no intention in doing anything... SHIT! I just remembered all the things that I have to do...
- reconfirm my seat (even though I was positively assured that I am booked on that date I am still concerned yes... paranoia)
- clean up the room (because it is indeed my couz's room and I haven't cleaned it up... half of the stuff was already crammed into a storage box but I ended up with the same amount of stuff but different ones... hmm that's kinda confusing)
- have to buy the stupid, goddamn, bloody chocolates and hopefully a good box of cherries... (yes... cherries)
- have to quickly choose my elecs for next year... (yes pathetic really but I'm doing it the last minute)

And as you can see from the above list it may not sound much but it is indeed... but nonetheless if you know about my laziness you would also know how I work... and thus motto in my life... there's this philosophy in Indo that says (in Indo): "bersusah-susah dahulu bersenang-senang kemudian" which literally means "working hard first before you have fun" see... my motto is this... "bersenang-senang dahulu bersusah-susah kemudian..." so... if you catch what the previous one means than you certainly would know what this one means...

Whereas... my cousin's motto is this: "bersenang-senang dahulu bersenang-senang kemudian" ^--^ I won't tell you what it means you need to know it from the previous translations I've given...

Alright that's all for today's chores and tantrums... I'm off... the net I meant...

~ciao~

aiyaa so hot

Omg I can't believe how hot today is. It must be a miracle to work outside on this day... It's reaching about 31 degrees now and it's already 5:50! Imagine that... ok I may be exaggerating just a teensy bit but honestly you can kinda feel a cool breeze slapping your forehead once in a while but I think some of the cool breezes just travelled and then said to themselves "it's too hot to continue"... I know that today is not as severe as that day back in December err... which means one year ago when the temperature plummeted to 42 degrees!! Yeah... remember that?!? Probably not... but I was suffering inside the shop with no air con except a few dud fans twirling on the ceiling but producing no wind whatsoever...

Today we went to the shopping mall just to cool it off a bit plus getting this and that for my parents (It's one more week till I go back home! YAY!) and my couz brought along her littlest daughter... the other daughter's stuck home with my other couz and play playstation coz she broke actually cracked one of her toes... yeah ouch... but she seem lively enough to hop-run along the hallway... yes you didn't hear me wrong... hop-run... coz she would actually hop like she's sprinting everytime across the hallway (she always sprint across the hallway you know... kids...)

Anyway... we went to the shopping mall and brought along her littlest daughter... can I call her niece? Coz it's just too long to actually say my couz's daughter... yeah anyways besides the point... we put her inside her stroller and you know when you see the little kids in stroller most of the times they are shouting incomprehensible words and as such funnily enough this little girl doesn't say a word and you should have seen the look on her face... she's dead on serious and always stare at everything... it's good coz that means she's not going to cry or anything... and she's pretty clever too... we gave her her dummy and she doesn't want it and what she would do is wave her hand in a 'no' gesture and have this 'don't give me that' look on her face ^--^ isn't she cute...

Yeah... about the goodies that I'm bringing back home... can't find that goddamn abominable white KitKat... seriously went to three different Woolies and still no clue as to where that KitKat has disappeared too... it's scary really... AND I still can't understand why Indos like white chocolates so much! I mean... white chocolates are really really sweet and I hate them! Definitely loathe them really... They just make me nauseous well... that is if you eat a lot of them and when they contain 100% milk... omg just thinking about it... +__+

Oh and funnily enough you know sometimes little kids can get scared when they see Santa or other really big fuzzy creatures like those you saw when you go to Dufan?!? You know... anybody in weird costumes... funnily enough my couz's daughter didn't cry... ok... maybe when she's seeing it from somewhat far away maybe not but she just stared curiously oh and yes she is definitely not a really social person coz she cried with whoever's new... eg. she cried when she saw me for the first time etc...

Yup... that's all for today... I just feel like yapping away today... okies then... see ya later...

"difficult times lie ahead, Harry..."

Aah... finally... get to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire with Noush...

It was alright... for some reason yet again I expect the movie to be like the book and I know for sure that the hell it will be like the book coz if the book is indeed turned into a movie you would have approximately 4 recesses plus one lunch sessions just to get it over with... But you know me... if they're basing something to something it needs to be meticulously correct and exact... yeah I know... I really shouldn't expect the book...

Anyways... all in all they did chopped up a great deal of stories from the book... like... what was that little house elf's name? The female one plus Dobby didn't show up... and also Sirius did a no-show in this one too... well... sort of... but I guess in terms of actually shortening the story they did a very well done script writing that's what I thought... The movie actually makes sense for those who didn't read the book and a great deal of it is actually quite original scripting... so basically they still refer to the main storyline in the book but all in all they present a totally different story to that of the original book...

It is actually a great movie to watch particularly on the big screen coz there are a few action scenes that was really over the edge sort of technology... although... still have a bit of concern as to Daniel Radcliffe playing Harry though... he looks pale... but maybe that's just me... Hermione has grown! ^--^ and Ron's hair too... hahaha... and the twins' too... WHAT'S WITH THE LONG HAIR?!? I mean seriously even Neville's into the fad... omg... I can't stand particularly Harry's hair!! Gosh... what's with boys sense of hairdos these days huh?!?

Anyways I thought it was great to watch on the big screen and that's it and I'm pretty sure people who haven't read the novels but have been following the movies are able to understand it without reading the novels first... so all in all a great adaptation of the original...

That's all for this movie... cya again when I watch another one... ^--^ haha that would be ages...

Alrighty cya!

ps. Cedrid Diggory was pretty cute ^--^ (maybe he looks better in the movie but he's tall...)
