Festival of Nations..

Ok, I noe today is Merdeka, but then aiyo for the past 19 years I have never found it such a big thing, even when I had to sing tanggal 31 for 11 years of my life. However there will be a dinner tonight in Melbourne Uni and I shall be going to eat Malaysian buffet!!! Muahahha all the Malaysian food that I've missed so much. Melissa will be performing Bukan Cinta Biasa and if I'm lucky enough, I will get to record it and if Sim's lucky enough, he shall get to see it :P

Ok enough about the dinner, few days back there was this festival of nations thing being held in the university. It was blady crowded man as I muscled my way through just to get to Uncle Ong's nasi lemak stall and MOMU's kuih+teh tarik stall. The kuih was rather expensive but it taste great. Maybe I juz havent been eating kuih for such a long time that I felt it was so good.

Its quite interesting to see so many different stalls and it comes to show how many foreign students there are in Melb Uni. It seems like there is hardly any pure Australians. The stall next to Uncle Ong was selling Ramly Burger!!! LOL, by the looks of it they look like they came from Singapore, because the promoter didnt sound Indo at all.


I didnt take much pictures though. This was Uncle Ong's poster. Nasi Lemak, spring rolls, longan drink, wanton, konyaku jelly, hey wait a minute, lets take a closer view....


It says KONYAKUKU JELLY not NEGARAKUKU!!!! LOL....negaraku, negarakuku.....wahahaha.


The crowd behind me, waiting anxiously for their nasi lemak. No, I was not taking pictures of girls, I didnt even look where my camera was aiming, I juz held it up high and snapped a picture, and this was wat I got..You know why so many people waiting for nasi lemak...wait I tell u later...


See the spring rolls and wantons? See the fried chicken and cucmber and longan drink, and hard boiled eggs? See the konyakuKU jelly? Hey wait, where's the nasi lemak?? Relax, I tell u later..


The other shops, the one right in front is the French one, selling crepe's I think..As u can see it was packed...super packed.

Ok now for the nasi lemak. Uncle Ong was a natural talent at doing business. He used all the laws and tactics to attract customers. Bargaining power, he sold food that was getting cheaper and cheaper, and if u buy in huge amount he gives u BIG discount, or so he says..But he couldn't control his kitchen staff. His nasi lemak rice ran out and when people started to order he said 10 min his people are making the rice now!! So I said ok fine, I'll wait since I dont have anymore classes, 20 min later, I saw a girl putting coconut milk into the rice cooker which had water in it!!!! They havent even started cooking!!! Wtheck u Uncle Ong, cheat my feeling ar(Renald's well used line.. :P) So I demanded an answer from Uncle Ong, and he apologised. After a while he said 400 seconds more..ok fine, few minutes, 600 seconds later, they press the on button to start cooking the rice...swt..cheat my feeling 2nd time... He then lost a lot of business opportunities as many people left and Uncle Ong didn't want them to wait for so long so he told people to come again the next day. Forget it, I've waited that long, I'm getting my nasi lemak!!!

After 40 mins I finally got my nasi lemak, with 2 chicken for juz 5 bux, the poster said 6.50 with one chicken..hahaha, I was the "loyal" customer.

Now lets analyse the pros and cons of me waiting for 40 mins for my nasi lemak..

Cons:
1) Waited damn long,freaking hungry, could have got gastric man(ok I'm exaggerating, I noe)
2) Stand like an orang gila there,
3) Being pushed and squashed by the number of people there
4) Opportunity cost of 40 mins
5) Hearing samba songs which really irritated me

Pros:
1) The malaysian girl who was in charge of cooking the rice was damn pretty!!! (I wanted to take a picture of her but no chance la...wasted)

Yeap, I think it was worth waiting the 40 mins (and now u noe why I didn't mind standing in front of the shop for such a long time rite) :P

Talk about nasi lemak, I'm hungry now...ciaoz

Delay...

Ok, i noe i havent been blogging..dota work has been taking up a lot of my time le..I had an assignment due 2 weeks ago and I have another in 2 days...
Anyway, life has been back to normal la, with uni and all, and no i havent watched any korean series for 3 weeks now, good rite.
.
.
Dats cos i was into Harry Potter!!! muahahah i finished the last book in 5 days..the kan cheong-ness juz took control and i couldn't put the book down!! But i guess many of u wont want to know the ending right, so I wont be a spoiler but juz note, the way it ended, JK Rowling has just ruled out any possibility of an eighth book. Suddenly, i'm struck knowing the fact there wont be any Harry Potter..haih = no more Emma Watson potraying a briliant genius or the funny scenes where Ron just wont admit he likes her ^^
.
.
Yea, so Man Utd has been doing badly, spare me the comments, I had enough. But they finally won last night, so worth watching dat game.
.
.
Merdeka is approaching. No, I'm not the patriotic fella whois going to sing loud loud "tanggal tiga puluh satu, bulan lapan, lima puluh tujuh" but I'll be going to a special merdeka dinner in uni. Its a great way to meet new and hot chicks eat all the malaysian food I have missed so much...Rather expensive though, but then aiya, can meet ppl, eat non stop, once in a while can la hor...
.
.
In Aussie right, the phone system ar, very the funny wan..u pay 30 bux, but ur credit can last until 120. So last month i onie used like 100 out of my 120 cap. This month ar, dun say la, my international calls to Weng and Edward, though short, i think my credit is gonna expire soon le...bugger...no money liao...
.
.
Anyway today I experienced a very stupid incident. Just that day I was telling somone(cant remember who) dat one should always keep money in their ATM card. Just incase u forgot to buy ur monthly train ticket and u can always purchase at the spot. I was telling someone to be careful so they wont encounter this kind of incidents. Well guess wat, Mr. Jonathan rushed to the train station(was late this morning) saw that I was in time to catch the express train, then realise my train ticket has expired. Then further realised, my current account only had 63 bux...blady shit!!! I walked back all the way to transfer money to my current account, returned to buy my monthly ticket, and got into my tutorial half an hr late :P Stupidity personified...
.
.
Anyway, not much left to talk about however I discovered something interesting, thanks to Kwan Chian who has lately been admiring Jay Chou.
Be sure to watch the 1st video, then watch the 2nd, cos if u watch the 2nd 1st, u wont understand wats going on. Those who dunno chinese, dun care la, its juz the storyline in the video thats interesting. Those that have adi seen it, well..................just watch again la...

Ok, since i suck at posting videos, I have no idea how to make them under the same one post so dun care la, juz watch on top 1st then btm...then tell me if u find it interesting..

Till then, I'm not hungry..ciaoz

watch this 1st. This is Feng by Jay Chou

My first time(2)

Ok, I juz came back from Monash Multicultural night. Well, it was quite nice I guess cos its fun and the performance/games /dance/food was good.
.
But thats not the main point, after that there was an after party at se7en. So yes, i went to the club and its the first time i went 'clubbing'
.
.
Not that i've never been to a club but just that I've never danced in those clubs.
Unlike clubbing in Msia, Aussie's is much different. Now made non-smoking its so much more comfortable than in Msia where smoke fill ur lungs everwhere. I guess I never really thought much about dancing in a club. Definitely a new experience!! Sure there were some fight induced plus unethical language, but if that is hip I guess there's not much I can do than bare with it.
Something I will consider going once in a while but not splashing out 15 bux everyweek juz for dancing.

Not hungry at 5.10am...ciaoz...

Oops....

Ok, my house internet has got shaped to 64k, overused the bandwidth, and i'll say its my fault...hahaha...too much korean love drama...

Lets do a Cost Benefit Analysis:
Costs of watching korean drama:
- oppotunity cost of time
- usage of bandwidth
- not studying enough
- no chance to read my harry potter
- feeling over-emotional when a sad scene happens
- depression when a series end as i feel an emptiness after a series ends

Benefits of watching korean drama:
- the joy, happiness and feeling good after a happy ending and touching love story

Yup, the benefits definitely outweigh the cost, therefore my conclusion willl be continue watching..

Finished Hello Miss, with the same girl from My Girl, its nice but then not as interesting as My Girl. I'm currently watching Goong and I think its gonna be one of the best, its has an interesting storyline. Girl fated to marry a prince, learn to be a princess falls inlove with the prince, but as usual the prince is cold hearted and likes another girl ^^...

Tonight, Monash Multicultural Night (yea so wat if I'm not a Monash student, cannot go ar? Blow(cui)(I never understood wat this meant but its another term for I want to go why u care!!) ar?). Its my first formal wear event since coming to Australia, but then unlike Msia, this got free flow of wine....hahahahaha....not that I drink much anyway. The picture picture all, see whether can get any la....

Time to eat and wash toilet and wash kitchen...haih....chores, i suddenly feel the appreciation of having a maid back in Malaysia...

Hungry, ciaoz..
