Flew Back Malaysia For The Weekend Just Like A Star

Yeah, that's right - what the title says. Lol. It wasn't for stardom purpose or to show off that I had money. It was because I had problem with my visa where I applied offshore and came onshore after that. They told me if I wanted my Visa then I can either leave the country for 1 day or re-apply onshore which is 450AUD! That's around rm1000 and they wouldn't refund my previous 450AUD. All that just for an e-mail.

Luckily AirAsia was there to safe me. Thanks Tony, you're much better than K.Rudd. The fair was only 76AUD for 1 way excluding Tax. Including Tax was only 152AUD. Total for a return is only 353AUD which is 100AUD cheaper than what I have to pay to reapply a Visa so I grabbed the opportunity and flew back for 5 days lol. That gave me the opportunity to get back the taste of Nasi Beriani and Roast Pork Rice before I even forget how they taste like.

The funny thing is that I was suppose to book a Thursday ticket and ended up buying the wrong time. Had to flew back on 0045 on Thursday which is a Wednesday midnight flight. Darn the 24 hours system timing. This is where i first met LUMAE who apparently bought the wrong ticket as well. *evil laugh* We got to each other better in the plane and coincidently she is from Kuantan and INTI Nilai as well.

I also had to finish my Modelling assignment for my Engineering subject before I flew back. Here are some pictures of them and I'm happy with them. I thought the software was hard to use but it turned out to be not that bad. It gives you the power to create 3d objects.

Snowboardin' in Mt Buller, Victoria

Hey readers, sorry for not blogging for so long now. I was kinda busy with my stuff so did not take the time to blog.

I had this trip to Mt Buller last weekend which is on the 2nd of May. It was the earliest time it snows and the resort is opened only for the few days and the snow started to melt away. It was a 3 hour drive from Melbourne and we started our journey around 6 a.m.


It was heavily fogged in the morning where we literally were covered by blanket of fog/mist/whatever.

Things started to clear as the sun began to rise but fog is still visible within the distance.

We stumble upon snow whilst we were going up the mountain. There were lot of people there before us. Had to queue a long way just to rent the equipments.

I found out snowboarding was kinda easy. Ski lift was only 20AUD that day whereas it will be 99AUD during winter time. I had to pay another extra 30AUD for an instructor to teach me for like 3 hours.

Tried the water surf boarding style but did not really worked well. It was hell tired. Felt a couple of timesss(with multiple 's') but i guess it wasn't so bad considering so many other people who rolled down with me.

and it got me down on my knees..like literally begging for mercy.

Pictures from Australia!

Hey readers, I'm here to upload some scenery pictures that I've taken over the past time since I came to 'DownUnder'. I wish you were here! *sarcasm*

Picture 1's Description : A nice cloud formation. I feel that you can see the earth is actually flat in Australia. It would have been better if superman was flying by.


Picture 2's Description: Lavender in someone's backyard. Went and stole a picture of it. It does come in all type of colours and it smells like grape.


Picture 3's Description: Upclose of the lavender. Wow, They are actually flowers.


Picture 4's Description: A cottage once used to rare cows.


Picture 5's Description: It once said that dinosaurs roam this land. Now use your imagination!


Picture 6's Description: Picture isn't that good. Blame my phone camera. If it was any clearer, you can actually see the word 'End of the World!' written clearly on it.



Picture 7 & 8's Description: Winter came a little too soon. Mist in the morning gave us visibility only up to 500 metres.




Picture 9, 10 & 11's Description: Winter then went too soon and will be back. At the moment it's Autumn. A perfect harmony between a chrysanthemum and dandelion. Symbollizes a king and queen living in the same castle.

Picture 12's Description: It's a wrap!

Note : 15+.All picture's description contain non reliable information. It is only used to make the author of this post a fool.

Kangaroo Meat

Have you ever thought that you will get a chance to eat Kangaroo Meat? Fotunately enough, I ate it before. Not only once but twice. It is not a taboo here. In a matter of fact, It taste good and it is a good alternative to beef. This is because it is high in protein and is low in fat(only around 2%). Not only that, it also contains highly concentration of conjungated linoleic acid(CLA) which I do not know what is it; all I know that it prevents cancer and reduces body fats. Wow, just imagine eating and losing weight at the same time. Besides that, you still get to reduce your chances of getting cancer. Where can you find such food(or meat to be specific) in this world? Read more here.


They do sell it in supermarket and it is already seasoned.
Of cause, eating this MIGHT also get you into trouble(such as the one below) once awhile so be prepared.
But think at the positive side - at least that is not HINDRAF or BERSIH.

I think hinduism does not worship kangaroo as a god. Not that I know of. So they have a alternative to beef and another variety added to mutton curry - 'kangie' curry. Kangaroo meat might be a taboo for some who have not eat it before or to those who thinks that they are too adorable to be eaten. Fear not anymore, I got a solution just for you. I present you....



KangaCow! Eat me as I taste just like Beef - only much BETTER!

New Banner and Shortcut Icon

I have came up with a new banner for my blog. I did this by getting a abstract wallpaper off the web and slice them up with photoshop. Gave them some transparency at every layel and there I go - A new header =). Give some feedbacks on it.


Another thing was the shortcut icon. Credit goes to kenwooi for providing good instruction on how to create and make one. For all of you who do not know what is that, then check out the image below:

Yep, it's the icon right beside your url. Now go ahead and try to make one yourself if you haveyour own webpage. It's cool.

Easter Holiday & Mid Semester Break

Sorry for the lack of blogging lately - Easter Holiday cum Mid Semester break was OK. Well it was OK because I do not need to attend classes but it was kind of boring at the same time. Well, I didn't actually buy easter chocolates because I wouldn't want to pay extra for some chocolate that is shaped into bunny, eggs or chicks whereas you can get the same chocolate for a cheaper price in a bar shape. Fortunately, my sis had people pouring this kind of chocolates to her and I was glad to 'test' them out.

First came a golden bunny that was overhype but it was sweet while it last.
Then comes the egg which is white. White egg has less cholesterol and that's a myth. I saw it on the TV the other day and they said that white egg and darker egg are the same. Dark chicken give darker egg.

And all of these goes to my stomach. Which is fat now and full of cholesterol. Haha =D

I promised ah meow more pictures on my university so am going to post them up now. First I would like to show a map of the campus i am in :


First picture I would like to show is building 63 which happens to be the faculty of Information Technology.


Then come the internal part of building 10 which is the campus centre. This is the 2nd floor of it. It is usually packed with peeps during lunch hour and people will be sitting all over the floor.



Outside building 10, there's a cool painting on the wall with numbers and a stick which when the sun shines down, the shadow on the stick will show what time it is. I find it quite accurate.
Inside a computer lab but I couldnt remember which building is this in.
and building 29.


Picture taken from the bus loop. This is building 11 (Menzies) which is the tallest in my campus.

Sunset taken from the balcony of the place where I stay.

And another thing I would like to share is that I took herbal soup with crocodile meat. It tasted bitter and there were slimy skin around. Couldn't tell whether the bitter taste came from the herbs or the croc meat. Well, I guess it couldnt be from the croc meat because everything should taste like chicken.

poem for you

i am not going to compare you to a summer,
nor to any weather,
as you are my four seasons forever,
making my life even brighter.

we've been together,
for a short time no longer,
hoping the relation will get stronger,
as we move down further.

I hope that you are happier,
hoping it will not be over,
this is for you;my only dear lover,

poa miao er.
