this morning i woke up...i straight away recall that i was in a dream...and its just so real that because of the dream, im all in a down/confused mode...
i couldnt remember exactly how the dream went, but as i remembered it, me n my whole family except my dad was at malacca, we wanted to juz take a plane back to JB (WTH???)...and at first take off, i took out my mobile fon to turn it off, and suddenly, there was some electrical failure in the plane...they blamed my phone...but HEY, i was juz turning it off! we had to abort take off...and we all went back inside the airport....
thats not the whole story...
in the plane...i was sitting next to a friend of mine...a good friend of mine...i didnt recall her in the previous scenes before we boarded the plane...but she was just there when i was in my seat...i haven't talked to her for awhile now...last we met, or 'almost' met, i was angry at her...well, in the dream...between me and her was just...(now that i think about it) awkward...
yup, its a weird and stupid dream (take a plane from malacca to JB?) - but dreams are always like that anyway...they rarely make sense...having said that, dreams can be really powerful... they can affect you like its real...the thing between me and that friend of mine...gosh...im so confused now...
i think i also had a couple of dreams before that, one i remembered had my dad in it...but i couldnt remember how the dream went...
dreams... *sigh*
have you woke up from a dream crying? or smiling? or angry or frustrated?
when i was small, i remember i had this nightmare one night...it was the end of the world...flames and chaos everywhere...there was this evil 'thing' flying over the whole area...throwing flames and killing people while laughing...i remember i lost my whole family...i woke up crying...
a few days ago...i dreamt i was killed...
i was in a bus, and sensed that someone was trying to kill me...that someone made a series of efforts to kill me in the bus without being noticed, one of his attempts, he tried to wire up my seat to electrocute me, with a very lame excuse given by the electrician to put some wires on my seat, but i sensed the plot, and moved to another seat...then he asked this mad man with a pair of chopping knife...but i fought him off...
then i shouted, "who is it who has been trying to kill me?show yourself" ... a man stood up, took out a gun...and shot me...i remembered saying after that, "isn't that easier if you want to kill me?"
-i have been having too many dreams lately-
p/s - when am i going to dream that i am a manchester united winger? =P

Visit Malaysia Cyber Campaign
I was resting awhile from work juz now and i found out about the Visit Malaysia Cyber Campaign.... (check out the site at www.vmcc.com.my )
So, i decided to be one of their link partners by putting up the banner that you can see up here =)
From my point of view, this is a very good idea in spreading the news of 'Visit Malaysia Year 2007'... generally, this tactic is called viral marketing (click on the term if you wanna know more about viral marketing)...and it can create a very huge hype if executed effectively....
Don't we (you readers who are malaysian) love our country? Don't we think others shud experience it too? Good stuff is to share =) Do join in this wonderful campaign and do our part to make VMY 2007 a success (ahaha...poyo sungguh)...hahaha...no, serius =

Err...How bout some space? ... thank you ...
Today is the first day of working for me! =)
I started work at the Tourism Malaysia office here in Sydney...my work consists of some book-keeping, answering phone calls when they come in (my comp is at the front desk), and pretty much helping out kak wati or anyone with anything that i can...
i was very very lucky to get the job...and i hope all goes well in the lead up to me going back to malaysia later in january...there still currently are many clouds of uncertainties hovering around...and i'm not sure if its gonna drizzle, rain cats n dogs, or shine...
i work 9-5, monday to friday...and as far as i can recall, i have never worked like this before...sure, near chinese new year at the pasar was a hectic period with eaaarly start to the day and late late breakfast with non-stop work...but that's helping out my dad...and it only goes berzerk on weekends...
the day started very early for me...before i went back to sleep again, and woke up, still very early for me...but it wasnt long till i was on the bus and on my way to work...
845 am ... i arrived at the office to be greeted by kak wati...and soon i was on the go...learning what i have to do...doing it...lunch time came all too soon (time flies) ... and after that...i resumed working...and hey presto...its 530 pm already! All in all, work was good...everyone was nice...and i hope i did well for my first day (i handed all employees their december salary!) =)
i took the 292 bus back...and reached home by about 645pm... i was sleeping all the way on the bus...and was extremely lucky to wake up when the driver stops at macquarie center...it was kinda tiring...maybe coz im not used to it yet...and the peaceful sight of herring rd apartments greated me...ah.....home sweet home...
as i approached my front door...i noticed the stove ventilator was on... "adoiiii..." it must be 'them'....and when i opened the door... "sigh" ... it is 'them'...
my hongkie housemates (2 of them) were cooking, and as usual...they were cooking for a whole batalion of army...ok, it was juz 6 person (them included), but it looked like they were cooking for the whole army batalion! but its no surprise...i have had many hongkie/mainlanders as housemates before...and when u put 2 of them together...juz 2, u ALWAYS get chaos in the kitchen...
so i went in, said hi...they asked me if i was at work or something...blablabla...i was kinda annoyed already to be frank...come on...the house is for 6 person...there is only enough space for that amount of person...when 2 housemates take up the whole space for ALL 6 housemates who pay rent and call that place 'home'...isnt that bollocks??
perhaps sensing my frustration...the more thoughtful of the 2 hongkie asked me, do you want to cook? i said yes, trying hard to be nice, since he is nice enough to ask...and he asked me.. " oh, what do you need?" (while looking around the packed and messy kitchen).... so i replied, "err, how bout some space?"....
so i managed to get some space and went on with my chopping and cooking...not much really...cooked instant noodles only....and iron-chefly, i finished my signature instant noodles+pasta in about 15 minutes =P it wasnt pleasant cooking though when you need to rush...so many things in the kitchen, in the dining room, and people at the living room hogging the TV (which is provided by the uni) playing the PS 2 <--as usual...the whole place so, noisy....so....chaotic....sigh...
so i brought my dinner and a mug of hot tea into my room...turned on my laptop...opened a movie...and watched it while eating....didnt finish the movie....showered n all...and hey presto, its already 9pm!
wudn't it be nice to come back from work to your home, your own home - which for me is a quiet and tidy place, not so energized surrounding so i can chill out...all this made me wonder...i think that's exactly how my dad feels...he works really hard all morning till noon...and when he comes back, finds a messy and noisy place (courtesy of yours truly - me n gang) ...
gosh...
i guess i learnt a few lessons for myself...be considerate if next time i 'am' the crowd...and housemates comes first, then guests - coz each housemates shares the right, equal right, to call a house their 'home'...

all over again...
The past week is all about building towards this friday...i would be farewelling some of my best of buddies in my whole stay in sydney so far...
1st year...i remembered being alone when i arrived...i remembered it was the time to get out there from my comfort zone and change my situation...i made some great friends...
2nd year...i remembered that life was more exciting...the 1st TESL cohort arrived at macquarie uni...some of them went on to be among my all time best mates...
now they are leaving...it's just so difficult to express how i feel inside...i dont know how life will turn to be...hmm...i think i've rambled about this enough two posts ago...so tonight, i've decided to go check out some quotes about goodbye...
...'enjoy'...
Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetime, is certain for those who are friends. ~Richard Bach
We only part to meet again. ~John Gay
Why does it take a minute to say hello and forever to say goodbye? ~Author Unknown
Nothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make the latitudes and longitudes. ~Henry David Thoreau
How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard. ~Carol Sobieski and Thomas Meehan, Annie
The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be the beginning. ~Ivy Baker Priest
No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each other's worth. ~Robert Southey
Only in the agony of parting do we look into the depths of love. ~George Eliot
But fate ordains that dearest friends must part. ~Edward Young
A man never knows how to say goodbye; a woman never knows when to say it. ~Helen Rowland

How Cool Is This??
I was browsing through some EPL club's website when I found a few interesting things:
1- chelseafc.com thinks they are cool - the site is crap... okay, im biased.
2- liverpoolfc.tv is messy... okay, im also biased.
3- arsenal.com has this REALLLY cool feature...check this out...they actually simulate their next match against chelsea using Football Manager 2007 (FM)!
What is FM? It's a game played on pc and game consoles....it's a manager simulation game, where u manage a team and guide it to success...FM is regarded as the best soccer team-manager-simulation game ever. Find out more by clicking here.
Here's what arsenal.com got from their simulation:
Pre Match Set Up - Click on image for the enlarged version
Report
Emmanuel Adebayor got Arsenal off to the perfect start with a goal after just four minutes. Former Gunner Ashley Cole conceded a free kick on the left, Robin van Persie curled a perfect delivery towards the near post and Adebayor beat his marker to head powerfully past Carlo Cudicini. 1-0 to Arsenal!
That silenced the home fans and there was more woe for Chelsea when Andrei Shevchenko limped off with an ankle injury after 18 minutes. The Ukrainian had started brightly and looked dangerous.
Chelsea pressed forward after the break, but they were hit by a sucker-punch just after the hour mark. Freddie Ljungberg's clever pass released Van Persie down the left and the Dutchman's precise cross was nodded in by Adebayor. Two for the Togolese striker - and two for Arsenal.
Frank Lampard went agonisingly close to reducing the deficit with 14 minutes left but his fiercely-struck free kick rebounded off the far post with Jens Lehmann well beaten. A goal then would have set up a grandstand finish but Arsenal held out to record a fine 2-0 victory.

now, that is a cool idea...you would expect to see these kinda fun feature on some random ppl's site or blog blablabla...but on the official arsenal website....hoho....someone there must really have a good sense of humour =P kudos arsenal.com!
hehehe...i guess united supporters would like to see a draw, or at least, arsenal beating chelsea. anyway....i also have a simulation of my own......hehehe....
Pro Evolution Soccer 5 ! After using the Master League feature in PES5...'simulating' from 2006 to 2024 (Yes, i've played the master league from year 2006 to 2024!), I conclude that Manchester United win the treble (league, f.a cup, and champions league) each and every year!
Muahahahahahahahhahahahahaha!
Conclusion of conclusions: Man Utd is the best! The website, the team, blablabla...hahahaha!

Goodbyes and Farewells
it's that time of the year again, when everyone sez goodbye to everyone...but this year, its different for me...i'm saying goodbye to some of my very best friends around...and i am starting to feel d emptiness already...
today i farewelled Mel...and its just sad...she is a friend who really cares, she doesn't call only when she needs anything or any favour or have some hidden manipulative agenda...
dont get me wrong , im happy to help anyone anytime if i can...but if the times i hear from you are only when you need favours...chances are: you're probably juz another person i know...
mel...no...she is the kind of friend who calls and reminds me about classes, about uni, who checks on how life is going on for me...a friend who's concerned of how i am doing...a friend in good times, and bad ones...
how many of such friends exists in your life? i certainly haven't found many...
i am sad that she has to leave, but at the same time, i am happy she is already graduating and entering the next phase of life (sigh, i was supposed to be leaving this shit too) ... to mel: all the best in whatever journey you embark on next - may our paths cross again =)
hmm...
azan is also leaving...tomorrow...now that's another friend i can't imagine not having around...he is definitely a great friend and while he will be back in sydney working...life's just gonna be different...
in the near future...more of the people i cherish having around are going to leave...it's not the happiest of times for me...i guess i just have to move on...not all's lost...i still have some good friends in sydney...and i intend to be a great friend to them, and hopefully to others as well...
think about it again...
its really deja vu...i have a bunch of 'yi sheng yi si' (translated: live together, die together) friends back in malaysia...and we had to say farewell to each other when we all chosed different paths in lives after school...things did change...
i would look back and miss those times...but when i look at the present, change have brought great things, more friends...and now im at that threshold again...i guess its only fair to be excited at the prospects...
