Would appreciate it very much if...

No, no.. I did not forget that I own a blog make it two blogs. Its just that nothing worth mentioning happened lately. In a way I should be thankful eh? That nothing very bad has happened on me.

Anyway.. I know you guys are so sick of seeing Koichi's email to me whenever you visit my blog, so I have to update something la.

Like the title said.. I'll appreciate it very much if


People stop sending me scam messages. Hello? If u really need money that badly, the first thing you should do is stop texting people about them winning the lotto or something. I bet you'll be able to save a lot of money from there. I receive two of those scam messages last week. Geez..


Sushi Zanmai maintains their standard. A couple of days ago, I had one of the best meals ever at Sushi Zanmai. It's been long since I had really good Tamago Mentai sushi! Sometimes they serve really little mentai on the sushi. But my last visit was really good. It would be great if the amount of mentai given everytime I visit is as much as what is shown on that photo.


Last Saturday, I had to attend a compulsory lecture in my university. The cafeteria is not open so I had to walk out to one of the restaurant nearby for lunch. I ordered green tea and guess what came? Green tea with sugar. I was really shock when I took the first sip and my face changed immediately. I don't even add sugar into black tea, so sugared green tea is very very weird to my taste buds. Its true that some people do add sugar into green tea, but for me, No No No! It tastes more like syrup, seriously.


Somemone help me eat this please? I made these marshmallow cause the initial plan was my friends coming over for a couple of rounds of Trivia Pursuit (Wii game). But the plan did not went on. So now I have lots of marshmallow inside the refrigerator.


Give me a break.I am tired.
Why is mid semester break so far away?

This week..In a nut shell

This week started with an argument with my grandmother. As usual, her biological clock is 12 hours off. She was whining on and on about my maid forcing her to bath. I couldn't stand so I corrected her. "It's PM not AM!" And guess what she replied? " How dare you side the maid. You're so cruel and heartless. bla bla bla Thunder will strike on you." I got angry, raised my voice and say "I'm not scared, I didn't do anything wrong." and she replied "You're a small kid, you don't know. I tell your father!" But too bad for her cause everyone knows about her 'jetlagness' except for her. Quite sad eh.

So that leads me to the question of "Is it okay to do/say something really bad if you're old? Should people be respected for their age? I know when you grow old, your brain will probably not function as well as when you're young. Alzheimer bla bla bla. But is stubborn-ess embedded along with old age? I thought that senior citizens should be wise and experienced. That's why they're respected right?

ANYWAY,next.
This week was filled with lots of 'waiting'.

On Wednesday morning, I received an email from Koichi.

At first, I was like WHAT? Koichi. And then I realize it was Tofugu's Koichi writing in to inform me that I did not win in their giveaway. Haha I knew that I didn't stand a chance cause other's are so creative. But I was really looking forward for the release of the results.

And then, I waited for the pair of fake glasses I ordered for my sister, waited for my yesasia stuff to come and waited for my camera. Everything came before Thursday! Which was really great cause I really need the camera this weekend and have been waiting for Yesasia for a couple of weeks.

Talking about Yesasia, I manage to find some really steal deals last month.

Koichi's Ayakashi single for only $3.50 and Kanjani8's Muzekinin Hero for $10.50. I ordered it on a Saturday and on the following Monday, the price went up to $10 and $19.50 respectively. Phewwwww.. saved some money there. Haha I also bought Garasu no Shounen, Tsuyoshi's Utuskushi ware no Sora, Rilakkuma sticker and a birthday gift for a September born haha. I might send it early to u this year hahah I don't even know whether u have it in your collection or not hmmm


Anyway..thats all for this week I guess? Haha gotta go check out some readings on the Frankfurt School.

Six Feet Under

I know, I know..I've been abandoning my blog for way too long! I'm so sorry but I'm very occupied with assignments. and I've played too hard for the past few days Currently I'm working on a paper that requires me to write about realism and issues of representation of this TV series called Six Feet Under.

Six Feet Under was a little disturbing yet unbelievably real. I guess maybe it's because the discourse is related to death and it's a taboo topic for many. It has a lot of ideologies behind it. Maybe I should write this for my TV studies major assignment next time.

On a random note, has anyone watched 'Inception'? is it still on cinemas? If you've not, better go and catch it. It's very Christopher Noolan-ish and I highly recommend it. After watching it, I can never look at dreams at the same way anymore.

Anyway, I gotta go bury my heads in books that talks about death. I promise a proper update next week! Haha

Confession

If you can't even plant your feet steadily on the ground, don't even think about floating to cloud nine.

Don't try to defy gravity, It gets uglier when greed takes over.

Thou shall not tempt me.

Pi Pi Pi Pi

Hello all! Sorry for the lack of updates. Keeping two blogs made me realize how boring my life is. Haha but it's alright. I am contented with what I have right now. Anyway, I'm having a migraine right now so I'll make this a quick one.

This afternoon, the Pos Laju guy came ringing on my door bell with a parcel for me. Hmm.. I don't recall ordering anything online. So the first two thing that came to my mind was "Did my sister order something using my name?" and "Did I win something?"

Tokyo omiyage from Kristy haha

I was really excited as I unwrap it because I totally did not expect this! She just came back from Tokyo like 2 days ago? Haha anyway this is what she gave me

A box full of goodies and lots of Kit Kat

It's mine! haha

Inside the box:

Tokyo Banana, Kit Kat, Shiroi Koibito etc

JUMP note book I'm born in Heisei Gonna use this book to plan my Japan trip

And the loveliest souvenir of all, KinKi Kids postcard and Ohkura fan license(not in picture cause I've kept it inside my wallet)

And a huge variety of Kit Kat ranging from Soy Sauce, Uji Matcha, Sakura Matcha, Roasted Soy Beans, Roasted Almond and Strawberry Cheese flavor

So for now lets hope that I manage to find a 'plumber' to fix my leaking and clogged nose so that I can taste the snacks and write a review soon.

PS: Pi Pi Pi Pi is the sound of the post man honking

Shock is real Shock

Break is out and school's in! I'm back to the 'burying heads in scholar's journal's' lifestyle.

My first lecture of the semester is FTV1010, Contemporary Television Studies.About 7 minutes to nine, I entered the auditorium and sat at the fourth seat of the last row, my usual spot. The freshies were making lots of noise, probably excited about their very first lecture while the seniors would just chillax at their own seat.

9:15Am...Mr. Benjamin's usually very punctual. Maybe he's caught in a bad traffic? I thought to myself

9:30AM.. Still no sign of Mr. Benjamin. This is when impatient people starts to complain and grumble. I was one of them.

9:45AM.. another lecturer came in and delivered a lecture on Godzilla and Alien vs Predator. "Trust me,I'm not trying to kill time. It's related to your studies," The lecturer said. But I wasn't really paying attention because I don't remember what Godzilla was about (watched it 12 years ago) and I've never watch the latter.

After undergoing another 2 more lectures, I've totally forgotten about Mr. Ben's absence until 8+pm

Mr. Benjamin,
You're one of the best lecturer Monash ever had.
Thanks for making your lectures and tutorials so fun and interesting.
Thanks for introducing some really awesome movies that I've never heard of
I wished that I was enrolled in your class during my first year and not in my second.
May you rest in peace.

hmmmm

I've been receiving several complains about the amount of dust and spider webs in my blog these days. Haha..nope I'm not abandoning this blog, I'm just busy completing whatever task that I've planned to do this semester break.

Next Monday marks the commencement of my fourth semester. It felt like yesterday I was still worrying about whether Monash would accept my application or not. And next week onwards, I'm already half way through my degree.

Results were released a couple of days ago and thanks to everyone's wishes, I manage to maintain my distinction streak for my journalism subject. However, I didn't do too well for my elective subjects. I didn't do too badly but I was so close to a distinction. Damn!! Ah.. I guess I have to work harder next time to increase my GPA. Talking about results.. my JLPT mock test result will be released tomorrow! Not much hope in that cause I didn't really study and it is a level higher than the level I'm suppose to take. I would buy the lotto if I passed it hahah.

Anyway, I've been fooling around in the kitchen a lot lately. So much that I've earned the title of 'Insane Chef Lee Seung Gi's brother'. (Lee Seung Gi is known for his seemingly abysmal cooking, which often results in food which all the other team members usually end up regretting to have eaten.) My sister's the one who gave me the title.. no idea why brother though haha. Very saddening but its alright..I'll make something better next time hopefully

The four dishes that I've made:
1. Harusame salad

2. Rare cheescake

3. Handmade Udon
Epic fail at the noodle part. But the Udon broth was really good. On par with restaurants one The reason for my failure is because I added too much water. Ahh.. Must be more careful next time.

4. Oyako don
I was watching this Chinese cooking program called "Nothing is Bigger than Eat". Funny name I know. One guy did the Oyako Don and it turned out really good. I was inspired and decided to try it and it turned out REALLY GOOD! I'm not trying to boast but my sister actually recognize this. So, I'm quite confident with this dish. hehehe
