Lucky me

While I blog surfed a few days ago, I came across this extremely emotional, and at the same time, disturbing blog. The blog was written in the form of a letter addressed to the writer's father. Here's a few lines from that blog:

'Dear Dad,

... you must understand the feelings I have when you sleep with my closest of friends... [DISTURBING]

... I remember when I was a 10 year old boy, I saw mom lying lifeless in that wooden case before she was put under a pile of earth, and I remember the look of indifference on your face as though all this didn't mean anything to you... [EMOTIONAL #1]

... you gave him [father's boyfriend] all the repect, attention and love you never gave mom, and you told me at the age of 8 that I held you backfrom pursuing your "ideal lifestyle"... [EMOTIONAL #2]

... you don't want me to finance you when I graduate, and I take great comfort in that. At least I'll have spare cash to splurge on Prada. [Well I can understand why. This season Prada produced an amazing collection.]

Yours truly,
A son who doesn't acknowledge your existance.' - From Justme.

I am grateful that my parents are still happily married and more importantly, not gay. My dad is the one and only 'yes man' who thinks that yes means yes, no means yes and not really means yeah sure. The closest thing to a no I've ever heard from him was, 'I'll let you know tomorrow.' Of course, he then conveniently forgets to call you back. When you try to call him few days later, surprise surprise he says he lost his mobile, which reappeared 2 weeks later in the pocket of his work-shirt! Well, if you were my dad, you would do that same I think.

My mom is a housewife/driver/office lady/office boy. She is the one and only warm-blooded robot. Since we stopped hiring indo-maid when we finally understand the importance of respecting human rights and equality (...when we moved to a 3-bedroom Condominium), I haven't notice any difference with regard to the household chores and maintenance. I think that's because my mom is now our part-time maid. I don't intend to use the term 'maid' with disrespect, but my dad actually has to pay my mom to clean the condo and do the laundry; cooking cost extra.

I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY! If Kate Moss and my parents fell off a boat and I have to choose to save either one of them, I would go to the lifeguard for help because I can only swim when my feet are able to reach the ground.

Ps. Prada Spring 2007 collection is out and looks like the Kate Moss inspired short shorts are 'IN'.

I am back!

My semester one has officially ended as of today. Right now I will just do what I always do, which is not think about the results until they get released on the 13th next month. Other than exam preparations, I've been busy putting my hosting skills in practice. Chan, a friend from KL, has been here for a week and I think we had already been to every shop in the CBD at least twice, if not thrice. I shopped so much now I am worse than just being penniless, I am also in debt! My friend, Darren was right, basically I just swapped my gambling and tennis addictions to shopping. Speaking of gambling, I have already taken Chan to the 'Asian playground' (aka Crown Casino) several times already. When you think about it, it makes perfect sense if you are a full-time student and does not like working part-time to go gamble when you need extra cash! Well, I guess I could get a part-time job, but then that won't make 'perfect sense' to me. By the way, this is hippie Chan:

I am planning to take Chan up to Sydney sometime next week when some of my friends are going to be there. That means I'll probably need to have a haircut early next week. I am trying to get this hairstyle I called 'Cactus Jam Hair'. If you often go pass Cactus Jam at QV, you'd have probably saw this saleperson who has this cool hairstyle. It's short around the side and back, slightly longer but not spiky at the top with a middle length fringe at the front.

I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY! I wasn't lying when I said there is a 400g Calbury Milk Chocolate pack:

It's only Wednesday today

This week has been an emotional rollercoaster, and it's only Wednesday today! I had my first exam on Monday. From the moment I exited the exam hall, I knew my 'carelessness' will come back to haunt me. Depresssed and in half consciousness, I went to have a haircut at Melbourne Central. You know why hairdressers are always smiling and happy? That's because they rarely have bad-hair-days. Thus, I hereby declare: A good haircut is the new anti-depressant!

Yesterday I spent the whole day preparing for my second exam, which I had just now. In the afternoon, I went to get some tickets with Tommy for this party that I am going to this weekend. I was feeling excited about the party and also my exam, until the Martina Hingis v Kim Clijster match that night. All you need to know about that match is that; I did not sleep well last night. Anyway, when did Martina get the nickname 'Chucky'!? I read that she got that nickname because of her bulbious forehead. You be the judge:

Today was like hell, waiting for my exam to start (started at 2:30pm). The exam questions were quite straightforward but they weren't easy. At one point I had to tear out two pages of what I wrote and start over again. I was relieved when it was over and went straight to gym. When I got home and logged onto my Monash portal, guess what I found out. Remember the 7000-9000 words research essay I did on a topic I couldn't care less? I got the result back and I was surprised. I guess that shows you how good I am at bullshitting, and also the academic standard at Monash (which is extremely high and reputable! Just in case there are some Monash students or tutors who read this blog ~ HA).

I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY! Study smart, not hard.

Stop talking... I am eating

I just finished a 150g NET Calbury milk chocolate in under 45 minutes (plus dinner and a few 'snakes', and miso soup with tofu). Someone ~ present me an award already! I tell you, I can eat and snack like no other and anyone who knows me know my RULE: 'Go away! Order your own dessert'. That might not seem fair, but I just don't share!

A blog I read today quoted Karl Lagerfeld saying, 'There is something distasteful about their inability to control themselves [overweight people]. To be thin takes control and rigour.' I don't know when that freaky, wrinkly and ugly monster crashed onto our planet, but I think it's time someone ask Ultraman to exterminate him. Skinny people have better 'self-control'? I bet to differ. Just look at thinny whinny Katie Moss who snorts more powder than the powder she puts on her face. Further, it's only a matter of time before bony Naomi Campbell stops throwing phones at her assistant, and swaps to daggers instead.

Melbourne is on SALE - again! 10-20% off everything at Myer and 20-30% off selected items at David Jones. It ends this weekend - I think. I hate shopping in Melbourne though. Anyway, check this baby out:

It's only AUD23.59, and I think you'll have to order it online from their website.

I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY! Sorry Kate Moss, I am so going to hell for saying what I said.
