But I realize uploading the photos to my computer, then on to the blog, then writing a review about it... is such a hassle. The blog's a big huge mess! What started as strictly for my baking and threading stuffs, turned into a totally personal blog where I'd bitch about politicians, and people.... I realize later that those things are easy things to blog about. You don't need pictures, just ramble on and on and on.... But dedicating your blog to a specific topic, your blogging style becomes limited. I thought of doing up a whole new blog from scratch, and create a better vibe... but its so sad to leave behind the stuff I've written.... All those memories!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the hits I used to get last time. Feels very loved when people started linking back to you. Or I might just clean up this blog. I don't know.... what do you think?Aishahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17726286080878810668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714354173649625114.post-65030402553691542722010-01-15T14:30:00.003+08:002010-01-15T14:45:08.467+08:00New Year PostOMG!! Its been a long time since I blogged. I've been addicted to Facebook! Thankfully, I haven't picked up on the Twitter thing yet. But I don't think I would any time soon. <div><br /></div><div>Well, the start of the new year, I've been rather upset. Upset with my stinking life!! While my friends are getting married, building a family, building careers, I am stuck in this shithole. I went to a former classmate's wedding last month. And I reminisce about the times we had in poly. I recall how she would chase after boys, but they just don't see her anymore than just friends. Must have been sickening for her. When I was dating my boyfriend, she just got her heart broken. And now she's the first one to be married. LOL. Then it finally dawn on me... its been almost 4 years since we graduated!! FOUR!!! Stop dreaming!!! <div><br /></div><div>I am so pressured to get a job, settle down with my long time boyfriend. I told him when I turn 26. 26 is a good number right? My friends will be settling down with babies by then... Aku lambat 2 tahun. :( Insya'allah panjang umur, murah rezeki! Btw, another one of my primary sch classmate just got engaged. One more just delivered a beautiful baby girl (quite huge!) and another is about to. I am so sad! This is so DEPRESSING! No one's making me get married. But I'm just worried... what if?????????</div><div><br /></div><div>I have no hobbies as of now. Maybe just to eat less. </div></div>Aishahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17726286080878810668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714354173649625114.post-57027180525157576672009-06-23T15:17:00.003+08:002009-06-23T15:43:43.680+08:00I scratch your back, you scratch mineI've been having this problem with a certain someone I know. I think I've been extremely nice to her. To the point where I'll collect her books on her behalf because I was around the neighborhood so she won't have to travel to school for it. I even went out early from home to pass her her stuff at the train station before I make my way to school. But I realize she's not the sort who will return the kind of favor without me even asking her!<br /><br />I did it as a friend, and out of courtesy.<br /><br />I'll inform her if I'm not going home with her or will be late. But she wouldn't do the same. Most of the time, I'll see her just went off without me. Only to ask me through sms, "Where are you. I'm at the station". WTF. I go home without you lah!<br /><br />When she's late for class, I picked up a copy of her notes. But when I am late myself, would she? Never! I'd have to text her for it. Sometimes it really pisses me off. Just like on the train yesterday after school. We got to know this new girl in class and decided to take the train together. And just like how she'd behave, she ignored my presence so she could talk to the new girl. Then when the girl alighted, she went back to ignoring me again.<br /><br />A bit chibai right you forget about me because you have immersed yourself with your cliques. What's wrong with telling me, "Hey I'm going off for dinner with my friends". Rather than making me wait in the fucking lab for the email I never got to receive from her just like how she promised. Only to go back home and receive an sms 5 hours later saying, "Hey I'm sorry. I left early to go have dinner with the rest".<br /><br />And the best one yet... is when I wanted her to share with me the info the lab demo told her about an experiment, she'd either say, "nanti kejap" or "I don't know". Then why was she haggling around the lab demo for?<br /><br />Chibai.Aishahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17726286080878810668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714354173649625114.post-14940923685862701022009-06-17T01:11:00.003+08:002009-06-17T01:26:51.157+08:00Why I Like Xiaxue's blog Over Dawn Yang's?Ok, I remember now why I like reading Xiaxue's blog compared to Dawn Yang. I came across a comment in XX's blog. And the anonymous reader said something like, "Xiaxue is ugly, and heavily photoshopped. Dawn Yang is a natural beauty and she look exactly like she did in photos".<br /><br />Ok, I find this comment the most hilarious thing ever. I tried to give Dawn Yang's blog a shot. But I have no interest in the things she blogged about. Fake eyelashes aside, I think I prefer XX's because of the content. She makes funny jokes, and thought provoking entries. Had she not brought up the matter about Ipone's inability to accommodate long fingernails, it'll never have crossed my mind! And I am amazed at her photoshopping skills. And most importantly, she wrote entries that any normal person could relate to.<br /><br />Dawn Yang's entry after entry; about dinner, lunch, breakfast at the most expensive restaurants. I don't know if she is actually paid to review about their food, but her entries looked so lifeless, and I am like... so what? As if most of her teenage readers could afford half of what she could, or experience the things she did. I seriously think Dawn Yang is a big show off. What do people actually see in her writing? I have no idea. She does not make a good story teller. Maybe a pretty face you'll love to see pasted on your bedroom wall.Aishahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17726286080878810668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714354173649625114.post-72728431039700708822009-06-15T17:20:00.002+08:002009-06-15T17:37:10.828+08:00Adelaide's Tourist Attractions<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiv38ZEqNHpZ2AmKVRx_ijH7XcekuQNu7JHN1TKgsk-BI81hpkYo4qIdk6GANYd9oMQqPh3NqKq3ffyTXZNQFCwt9MhN76aS1W6icFx_1I5OIGnq7mBynB6UxFKjXNyZjj3bshD67V-w2E/s1600-h/Copy+of+Adelaide+2009+%2872%29.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiv38ZEqNHpZ2AmKVRx_ijH7XcekuQNu7JHN1TKgsk-BI81hpkYo4qIdk6GANYd9oMQqPh3NqKq3ffyTXZNQFCwt9MhN76aS1W6icFx_1I5OIGnq7mBynB6UxFKjXNyZjj3bshD67V-w2E/s400/Copy+of+Adelaide+2009+%2872%29.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347481870241194994" border="0" /></a>They refer to their neighbourhood shops as Deli. Here in Singapore, its Mamak shop.<br /><br />I remember telling my boyfriend how much I missed the times I had while in Adelaide. Though I hated the transport service cos it takes forever to arrive (sometimes disrupted by the strike) and the train stations smelt of urine, I loved the weather, the people, the driving, and the shopping experience. The people are so nice even if they don't listen to you 90% of the time. They'd go "yeah, yeah, naw, yeah".. or "naw, its alright". So you know they're not interested and wants you to piss off. HAHAHA. I love the sunshine, and the breath of fresh air when you walk along the beaches.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh322uCe4_IdK0WBM_kOtQq9EjyRIRF8yMBMkgEyCmMAOdEnX2jUQrjmXx3zFo85dpNQVmAmFQ0aA5QTkfVyA-zWMERchdVGwbQiQZspW_JXayLb1OcPltxfRTHXD1ZSA-Php0p4ioHQTJp/s1600-h/Adelaide+2009+%28223%29.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh322uCe4_IdK0WBM_kOtQq9EjyRIRF8yMBMkgEyCmMAOdEnX2jUQrjmXx3zFo85dpNQVmAmFQ0aA5QTkfVyA-zWMERchdVGwbQiQZspW_JXayLb1OcPltxfRTHXD1ZSA-Php0p4ioHQTJp/s400/Adelaide+2009+%28223%29.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347459179891935634" border="0" /></a><br />You'll never get lost in Adelaide if you have a GPS with you wherever you go. And the driving experience is so smooth. You don't have rude drivers on the road; at least that was what we experienced when we were there.<br /><br />When we were in Adelaide, we bought a tourist card from a Tourist Centre for $79 per person. It was worth it, because we went for a jet ride and also boarded a sailing boat along Glenelg coastal.<br /><br />Each cost almost $90 each. So the Tourist Card was a blessing! Otherwise we'd have to pay almost $200 per person. With the card also, we visited the Train Museum in Port Adelaide, and we also visited Gorge Wildlife Park. The Train Museum was at first a really stupid idea, cos we wanted to kill time while waiting for our turn to ride 'Hel-a-va' Jet in Glenelg!! Its an enclosed speed boat, where the driver will take you for an F1 ride but on water and he'll make 180 degrees turn!! SHIOK!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4DTNKKgvwg2PF0sqx10fWs1JDUwv5-MXnuOPf_wO6_CjP5hwYHDZvcyma6g6b_Lf0WYvVnwB3i3xSNGfDAdKZ1U_K4WGFkpFZOB94Fbd3fSfAdIBxYkvkVHED0eFUSC5zg8dmTwCGfykg/s1600-h/Adelaide+2009+%28272%29.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4DTNKKgvwg2PF0sqx10fWs1JDUwv5-MXnuOPf_wO6_CjP5hwYHDZvcyma6g6b_Lf0WYvVnwB3i3xSNGfDAdKZ1U_K4WGFkpFZOB94Fbd3fSfAdIBxYkvkVHED0eFUSC5zg8dmTwCGfykg/s400/Adelaide+2009+%28272%29.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347461864949229762" border="0" /></a>Glenelg is now a place for the rich. Man, the apartments are so beautiful and looks expensive. And with a view to die for!<br /><br />We thought we'd give 5 minutes for the museum. But instead we took a whole hour!!!!!!!!!! It was so interesting! When you look into one cabin, you want to look into a million others. I have never rode in a long-haul trains before. So it was such an experience. To be able to see what 19th Century trains look like inside and out, and the coffins they used to transport dead people, and also the cute tickets that were given out to passengers. It was so interesting!! We even rode the mini train which was meant for kids. HAHAHAHA! We are Singaporeans man!

My sister crossing the railway track. We bought magnets at the sourvenier shop for $3 for our fridge. We later bought 6 more for our fridge also. HAHAHAHA! The shop sells so many cute things! My brother bought 3 train key chains that resembled the museum logo. The guys mending the shop were former train operators. They are really friendly! They know where Singapore is.

It gets really really really cold when you're out in the sea. I was sea sick the whole time. I know I have a sea sick problem since I was 12. So I stayed put at my seat, which is seatless really.

So many ice creams in Glenelg. And they are HUUUUGEEE!! And did I mention the fries are thick too? HEHEHEHEHE!!<br /><br />When we arrived back in Singapore, a week later a hand written postcard from SA Tourist Centre with my family name spelt correctly(!!) made us felt so welcomed to even step into Adelaide.<br /><br />Making reservations through phone can be quite a hassle. Because they pronounce letters differently, the way we pronounce A, they will think its E. So don't be surprised if you arrive at your destination, and then they said your name was not reserved. HAHAHA.<br /><br />To tell you quite honestly, Adelaide is quite a boring place. There's not much fantastic tourist destinations avaliable. To get to one, you need to drive at least 2 hours to Hahndorf, which is the oldest German village town in Australia, I think. When we were there, we visited a German strawbery farm, Beerenberg. I found out about this place through the internet. But never gave it much thought, because I thought it was a stupid place to go to. But... I did go in the end, and I think I enjoyed plucking the strawberries myself. I think we had to pay $9 for a small bucket, regardless of weight!! We had 2 buckets. So we plucked to the brim! And we ate some while plucking. Hehehe.... I have never seen how a strawberry plant looks like:<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2sDWJYGT9iveQwIj8wt-dQNG8WY3e21Rs3jKWUqHt36P67ysnZnmTjqSieKTwX1WvmwOnWqqi9ssS7f-QMKME4Eur7Xe1DlAxQc0g0GcRqE-BZQVtpsa46h9yPSjtV_W9svMZGokgFfvb/s1600-h/Adelaide+2009+%28640%29.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2sDWJYGT9iveQwIj8wt-dQNG8WY3e21Rs3jKWUqHt36P67ysnZnmTjqSieKTwX1WvmwOnWqqi9ssS7f-QMKME4Eur7Xe1DlAxQc0g0GcRqE-BZQVtpsa46h9yPSjtV_W9svMZGokgFfvb/s400/Adelaide+2009+%28640%29.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347464470366110610" border="0" /></a>My family will work for strawberries.

How do you spell Glenelg, backwards? ;)<br /><br />It was one of the weekday, I think it was Wednesday. Public school teachers were having a strike. And so my little cousin had a school holiday for a day!! So we ALL, 13 of us drove 2 hours or so to Monarto Zoo. I did manage to see the feeding time for Giraffe. It was so cool. But I couldn't stay long cos we need to go for our Safari Tour.<br /><br />Actually, to tell you the truth, Monarto Zoo isn't a self drive in Safari like in Jakarta. But we had to board a bus with their tour guide. The tour guide was fantastic!! She was a volunteer for the Zoo and I enjoyed her guide very much.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMpzLBhGB0SoGgP9YINxCa3Kk8exn8oulkRvdegP1FHOaQRVAfiSjrucHxR8by6lGAi7a9muBxr9BqrR4S2SoFiC3S01MVFamhJ_it5xTIGVVRO_k8RrghJ-gfgM8dplYzGAWeOnmhBU4P/s1600-h/Adelaide+2009+%28569%29.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMpzLBhGB0SoGgP9YINxCa3Kk8exn8oulkRvdegP1FHOaQRVAfiSjrucHxR8by6lGAi7a9muBxr9BqrR4S2SoFiC3S01MVFamhJ_it5xTIGVVRO_k8RrghJ-gfgM8dplYzGAWeOnmhBU4P/s400/Adelaide+2009+%28569%29.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347476586923865330" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRC-o4y8CS06jkIfHgUq7UCNh5ivTufgBTqx39cS_Kq1CP-Lxnxu1ik_IIDDfOTTDdaAbCWi-xTuCHG7uq9oPrQkCYlFSrTE654V3v4dXkZeVOnGFl_jPMzzWcat7nGpOiNGMRk5B-UDK7/s1600-h/Adelaide+2009+%28575%29.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRC-o4y8CS06jkIfHgUq7UCNh5ivTufgBTqx39cS_Kq1CP-Lxnxu1ik_IIDDfOTTDdaAbCWi-xTuCHG7uq9oPrQkCYlFSrTE654V3v4dXkZeVOnGFl_jPMzzWcat7nGpOiNGMRk5B-UDK7/s400/Adelaide+2009+%28575%29.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347476580539593826" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPGY1wn-tP60CRthiUKwS5DTBgg5RLsW2CPnPW4Q1ttI58xeo1gBSMwpaXlsz27LgCcDy6Ymfr3tF1a9QwasdGXrpVltxiNbYdvLGOG_tc5NG7QV7oTKud92xDl6ZSwdAtUy8Zz6NKR2wz/s1600-h/Adelaide+2009+%28553%29.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPGY1wn-tP60CRthiUKwS5DTBgg5RLsW2CPnPW4Q1ttI58xeo1gBSMwpaXlsz27LgCcDy6Ymfr3tF1a9QwasdGXrpVltxiNbYdvLGOG_tc5NG7QV7oTKud92xDl6ZSwdAtUy8Zz6NKR2wz/s400/Adelaide+2009+%28553%29.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347476575112051874" border="0" /></a>Hyenas.

It gets bloody hot. Its not humid hot like in Singapore. But very very very stinging HOT! We came back 3 shades darker.<br /><br />A short drive from Hahndorf is Melba's Chocolate Factory. It's not as great as Perth's Chocolate Factory. I love Perth's Chocolate Factory because they had unusual products like chocolate soap bars, chocolate alcohol, everything chocolate. But the Chocolate Factory we visited in Adelaide, was not as interesting. Its like a normal chocolate shop, except they had open factory concept. Much bigger than the one in Perth. You can see their workers make the chocolates and pack them. They also sold quirky chocolates. Like cow's and sheep's chocolate spat. Alphabet chocolates. And chocolate bullets, chocolate coffee. Plus, you can eat a lot of their chocolate samples for free. That is if you're thick skinned.<br /><br />On top of that, we visited Gorge Wildlife Park. It was a family-runned zoo. So it stinked like hell!!!! But they allowed us to feed all the animals we see, unless stated otherwise. We fed parrots, peacocks, Kangaroo and the smaller kangaroo version, I don't know whats the name. We also took photos with Koalas. When I was smaller, I was so scared of Koalas and Kangaroos and Wombats; and I refused to hold them or touch them for a photo. But now... I love them!! They have such a smooth fur. But a Koala's claws can get really painful. But it's so cool to even hold them. They feel as heavy as a 2 year old toddler.<br /><br />I love Adelaide very much. Probably the most fantastic vacation my family ever had to date!! I hope to go back there again.Aishahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17726286080878810668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714354173649625114.post-27025222905691912042009-06-14T19:23:00.003+08:002009-06-14T19:37:09.085+08:00Tuts my barreh, Rape me in my thighsFirst it was Valentina Hassan who trashed one of Mariah Carey's #1 song "Can't Live Without You".

I came across the 2nd episode of the show by accident. I was about to change the channel, when I got hooked to the storyline. Its about a humble postman who found himself in a friendship with an A-list celebrity. At least, that was what he thought: friendship. Instead he realize he was only there to act as her boyfriend in front of everyone, then ignoring him behind closed doors. She was still in love with a wuss who won't stand up to his father to defend their relationship. Instead the wuss was willing to be engaged to a woman his father chose him: a daughter of a successful businessman.<br /><br />The guy who acted as the humble postman isn't that handsome. In fact, he's not handsome at all. Why they decided to go with that guy as their main cast, I have no idea. In a selling-point point of view, when a first time viewer sees the first few seconds, they won't be attracted to the show because the main lead is not good looking. And on top of that, the couple were such a mismatch. The idea of having a weak and dumb looking guy with an over-empowering woman, just makes me feel the 'relationship' will not develop into something serious in the end. Maybe just good friends and nothing else. It won't become one of those friends-turn-boyfriendgirlfriend thing. Korean drama almost always ends with romance. So perhaps in this show, there won't be romance for an ending? Or perhaps he'd grow out of the dumb looking guy and turns into a masculine one?<br /><br />But if they took the time to pay attention to the storyline, then perhaps they'd be as hooked as me. Just my view. I'd give this show a chance. The ending of the 2nd episode just got interesting with a reporter moving in to expose their fake relationship.Aishahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17726286080878810668noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714354173649625114.post-87649391433062188512009-05-28T23:39:00.002+08:002009-05-28T23:43:19.554+08:00Cash Hand-Outs To Dead People<span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" ></span><blockquote><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" >Cash for Aussie 'grateful dead'</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Australian government has admitted that cash hand-outs aimed at stimulating the economy have been sent to thousands of people who are dead.</span><br /><br />The money was part of a multi-billion dollar package under which every tax-payer was entitled to a payment of up to A$900 ($700, £440).<br /><br />About A$14m of the money went to dead people, ministers said, and A$25m to Australians living overseas.<br /><br />Local media have dubbed the deceased recipients "the grateful dead".<br /><br />Finance Minister Lindsay Tanner said that the money would still help Australia's economy.<br /><br />"Even where they go to people who are dead, of course they go to the estate," he told local media.<br /><br />"The estate typically is going to consist of ordinary Australians who will in turn get the payments, and on balance over time, will spend those payments."<br /><br />He did acknowledge that a "tiny proportion" of the money might be spend overseas, by expatriates.<br /><br />But another minister said more than 99% of the money had gone to the right people.<br /><br />Members of the opposition were not appeased.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">"If anybody saw any of the dead out there spending up big at Harvey Norman or Coles or Woolworths, please let me know," ABC news quoted Liberal Senator Simon Birmingham as saying.<br /><br /></span><span>http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8071299.stm</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></blockquote><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /><br /><br />HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!

And was really annoyed at their stand. Its ridiculous that they say they're <span style="font-weight: bold;">'committed to responsible drinking'</span>, and because of that, they had to keep out Muslim. Does being a non-Muslim mean you won't get drunk by drinking alcohol? Shouldn't they also take responsibility on the lives of non-Muslims? What are they trying to imply?<br /><br />There's so many Muslims in this world who blatantly disregard the commands in Islam. Drinking in full view of another practicing Muslim. Just look at your nearest local pub. You'll see a whole lot of them drinking <span style="font-weight: bold;">TIGER BEER</span>! And just in case you didn't know, Tiger Beer also employs Muslims in their factories. Stupid assholes.<br /><br />While I think they added that clause to please the Muslim clerics, the way they put it is as if mocking at Muslims for being Muslims. Why not place sign boards on every pubs and clubhouse which states clearly<span style="font-weight: bold;"> "We Are Commited To Responsible Drinking Which Is Why We Need To Ensure That You Are Non-Muslim And Over The Legal Drinking Age of 18".</span><br /><br />Assholes.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheKcVbQjuOIjQFozWVUsMQSzV0ntv9ojEX8etcmCVGOejMwEf2xdvc1k7pY6fxcVZU8TFI5QpoPYmuD8YQeE5Z0TVlQywUQCL72gsb-XWkrVTEqMPEP3rMmsjLNJHSp85TF4fZjfs-qvke/s1600-h/Up+Yours.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 155px; height: 289px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheKcVbQjuOIjQFozWVUsMQSzV0ntv9ojEX8etcmCVGOejMwEf2xdvc1k7pY6fxcVZU8TFI5QpoPYmuD8YQeE5Z0TVlQywUQCL72gsb-XWkrVTEqMPEP3rMmsjLNJHSp85TF4fZjfs-qvke/s400/Up+Yours.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339996899354745234" border="0" /></a>Up yours for discrimination.Aishahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17726286080878810668noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714354173649625114.post-45339420928424919122009-05-25T19:23:00.004+08:002009-05-25T19:40:03.674+08:00I Think KM900 Is Worth The WaitSingtel is selling LG Viewty for $0 for their iOne Plus plan. Starhub on the other hand, is selling LG Viewty for $98 for their 3G PowerValue 100. Both plans cost the same ($25.68) and both had the same plan specifications. But as I went around comparing the same phones with the same value plan from these 2 different service providers, I came to realize Starhub is selling their phones for at least $50 more than their competitor, Singtel. Why?!<br /><br />I love the latest phone by LG which is called KM900. It has functions similar to LG Viewty, but with added functions like Wifi, GPS and has internal memory of 8GB which you can increase by using a transflash up to 16GB!!! That's absolutely insane! What amount of music and movies do you want to add into your phone?! It is nothing like iPhone. Except I like the 3D cube concept. Looks stylish and very funky. The price to buy this phone with the plan I'm using (3G PowerValue 100) is $468.00 w/GST. For the same plan, Singtel is selling this phone for $418. :(<br /><br />Should I wait for 6 months before upgrading my phone?

One MP claimed for a house that was neither in London, nor her constituency. Two MPs continued to claim for mortgage interest payments, after the mortgages had been paid off - they blamed that on accounting errors. Claims for small items have also been ridiculed - including a trouser press, a bath plug and some Hob Nob biscuits.

She told the BBC that "my claim was neither ludicrous claim nor a phantom claim", unlike others featured in the Telegraph. She argued that the furniture which she claimed to replace was "worthless" since it was 30 years old having been inherited from her parents - and so could not have been claimed on insurance.

She received £750 each for the television and the bed plus £2,000 for the sofa.<br /><br />Response: Ms Engel said she had put her expenses with explanatory notes on her website.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">SARAH MCCARTHY-FRY</span><br /><br />Claim: The junior education minister submitted a receipt for a <span style="font-weight: bold;">£100 pair of hair straighteners.</span> But she was told she would not be reimbursed because the fees office was "unable to allow costs relating to personal items, in this case hair stylers".<br /><br />Response: Ms McCarthy-Fry, who is also MP for Portsmouth North, told the Daily Telegraph: "I fully accept this was a personal item that was claimed in error and was correctly rejected by the fees office."<br /><br />http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/8039273.stm<br /></blockquote><br /><br />Why spend so much on a television? How big do you need your television to be?! Or how grand do you want your sofa and dining table to be?! You are no celebrity who makes money by selling your image! These people spend their money because of their own hard work. But you are just an MP. If you're not elected, you won't have such luxury!<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" >Cheapskates.</span>Aishahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17726286080878810668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714354173649625114.post-86986356401729100902009-05-25T15:21:00.005+08:002009-05-25T15:51:46.289+08:00Sam Ronson's TweetSamantha Ronson was in Singapore last week. And she tweets when she was here. I find this particular one too cute not to share:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ2ghD8_noZKEGQgv4ijTuteKbX_m0ieNYuqoikVolBm7lojUg6YZVjhr1y1RsPH9QnmF_zmbVPxzD8GaYbqWTVTDsXdcTXhlT4dtdI3NEdLKPTi4yOvqBZ018PxS10QQrBAQKjwYANnzy/s1600-h/samantha-ronson-tweet-sg.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 82px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ2ghD8_noZKEGQgv4ijTuteKbX_m0ieNYuqoikVolBm7lojUg6YZVjhr1y1RsPH9QnmF_zmbVPxzD8GaYbqWTVTDsXdcTXhlT4dtdI3NEdLKPTi4yOvqBZ018PxS10QQrBAQKjwYANnzy/s400/samantha-ronson-tweet-sg.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339658960313188402" border="0" /></a>It said: "... I promise not to spit or throw my cigarette butts on you".<br /><br />Cute. Well, at least she knew something about Singapore. Man, is that all Singapore is famous for? Ban on chewing gums? At least we don't have people running around removing gums on every possible surface on earth! Ahhh.... at least Hollywood knows us! HAHAHAHA!<br /><br />Anyway, last Saturday, my boyfriend and I bought a tub of cookies and cream flavored ice cream. We ate a few glasses for dinner. Then last night, my dad bought a tub of the same ice cream flavor!! OMG! This morning, I had ice cream for breakfast. I can just live on ice cream for my breakfast, lunch and dinner for the rest of my life. I love ice cream!Aishahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17726286080878810668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714354173649625114.post-73893096059846886102009-05-21T10:17:00.004+08:002009-05-21T10:51:23.952+08:00Kris Allen Won American Idol 8!!!Ok ok. Kris Allen won this freaking American Idol!! OMG! I can't believe it! Everyone in Hollywood thinks Adam Lambert's gonna win. Even Katy Perry when she shamelessly walked on stage with a freaking cape which says ADAM LAMBERT! Kris Allen was probably one of the weakest of the 13 finalists. I thought he's gonna be voted out early in the game. But proved everyone wrong when he kept getting saved for every elimination.<br /><br />Oh, and I saw how Paula tried to put on a forced smile when Kris sang his Idol song. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Paula who worshipped Adam throughout the competition must have felt awful and embarassed when her prediction for a face-off between Adam and Danny didn't happen. And now the second blow was when Kris the underdog won! LOLOLOL!!! In your face judges!<br /><br />I wonder what Kara would say over dinner. Probably, "I felt no emotional connection with Kris' rendition of my song"... blablabla... whatever. Yey! No more Kara!<br /><br />I am so happy Kris won over Adam. Because seriously... who wants to listen to shriekings for 12 tracks straight? I wish Kris all the best and hopefully he won't end up like Reuben Studdard or Taylor Hicks. I think Reuben was the only Idol who didn't guest perform in this season.<br /><br />Ok, also need to add this. OMG!! KISS PERFORMED ON AMERICAN IDOL?!!! Seriously??? Took this suckers 8 seasons to realise AI's potential to sell albums.Aishahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17726286080878810668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714354173649625114.post-34266184623778962602009-05-20T21:08:00.003+08:002009-05-20T21:40:38.282+08:00"No Boundaries" Written By Kara DioGuardi SucksKara DioGuardi, the judge from American Idol 8, sucks. She made a song too big for Kris to even carry! He was struggling with the notes, and just drowning in the song. His voice was cracking, and he looked... like he has given up. Kara's song 'No Boundaries' is seriously a musical suicide. I could tell Adam Lambert is just vomiting inside when he sang this song. It such a crap song. Lame. But he sang quite ok, IMHO. But if he wins this American Idol, he'll have to sing this lame song for the rest of his career! HAHAHAHA! Kara, you suck. Thank God you'll be around for only a season. I can no longer take your over the top spiritual praises. You lame.<br /><br />The song that was chosen by the producer, 'What's going on', was so lame. It doesn't do Kris any justice. And all the judges bashed Kris for being laid back with his vocals when he should have gone big. Well, bash that dude who chose that song for him. What a stupid asshole. He should just stick to being a producer. He has a track record for choosing the worst song possible for a contestant. He should just let the professional do their job. Or even better... let them choose their own songs. Sucks.<br /><br />Quite honestly, I don't care who won AI this year. Neither of them are gonna sell. Their career will end up just like Taylor Hicks. Adam Lambert... I cannot picture him singing anything else other than the horrifying screams. Imagine listening to that in all 12 of his tracks. Madness!! And Kris' vocals is such a softie. The contestants in this season are not gonna be as successful. They all suck. Including Danny Gokey. He's boring on stage. But good with the vocals. But to make someone into a superstar, you need to have a persona which Danny doesn't have. He's boring. Kris is a softie. And Adam is just blooding annoying..<br /><br />And oh yeah.... Adam and his family said that he got his screaming talent when he was a toddler. Screaming non stop over dinner and stuffs... Well guess what? ALL BABIES ARE A PAIN IN THE ASS! THEY SCREAM 24/7!!!<br /><br />Lame.Aishahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17726286080878810668noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714354173649625114.post-88349261847497709222009-05-19T23:46:00.002+08:002009-05-19T23:50:25.383+08:00Vado Camera Please?I've made up my mind. Think I want a Vado camera for my birthday. Or on any of our monthsary. I was thinking, maybe get one for our anniversary. But its way too long. I need one right now because I'm going on a vacay soon! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA! I really love taking videos over photos. I know you need photos to print and show off to everyone back at home.

I hand washed the white dress with painted black petals with bright red centre, which I bought from York Boutique the week before. And to my horror, the bright red paint just came off! It looked like as if lipstick was smeared all across my white dress! Felt my stomach just went inside out. I was so upset that something that cost $70 can't even have paint stick to the clothes. Felt so cheated! Thankfully I managed to wipe every single red smear. But I can't help but be disappointed at the quality. I will never buy another outfit from YORK BOUTIQUE! Assholes.

You Bore MeI wonder why the need for the Pope to travel to Arab Muslim countries to mend ties? WTF? I don't need a Pope to tell me that religion divides the World. It has been in practice for hundreds of years. A Muslim do not need a Pope to tell them this. What purpose is it for him to travel hundreds of miles to apologize to Muslims. Who cares what he says. Cos his followers are not gonna listen anyway. Who the hell cares?!! Probably to spread Christianity?!Aishahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17726286080878810668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714354173649625114.post-3679529771560053332009-05-09T11:40:00.004+08:002009-05-09T12:04:28.247+08:00Will Blog For ClothesGosh! I realized I only blogged a few times on April. And perhaps May as well. Been really lazy to blog about anything. I intended to blog about my trip to Adelaide and my loooooong overdue entry on my last day in Thailand! The Thailand photos are a bit of a hassle, because they are all in my external hard disk. Really lazy to plug it to the computer. I wish I don't have the lazy bonessss. But too bad, I have a lot of them in my body.<br /><br />So last night, my boyfriend and I went to have our dinner together. Been craving for KFC! And I have not been eating the whole day yesterday. So the fried chicken thighs were a welcoming sight. Heh heh heh...<br /><br />Then my boyfriend told me of the sale that were going on at Pedal Works. But when I arrived, there was no signboard of sale pon! I think Pedal Works now carry really lousy ugly shoes. I used to just salivate at their range. But last night, I was really turned off. The shoes were ALL plain looking. No difference between one shoe and another. I didn't get the usual shoe orgasm I normally would have whenever I enter the shop. The shoes are seriously ugly by a mile! What's wrong with Pedal Works man. Sucksssssssssssss!!<br /><br />Next door to Pedal Works, decided to try out York Boutique. Before this, I've never actually liked anything by York, because of the design, the material they use and the price. So I entered the shop with no intention to buy anything. But last night's picks were an exception. I had a big wide smile when I tried on the checkered shirt blouse with a bib and the white dress. I loved it to bits. It didn't bother me one bit that the material was not Singapore weather friendly. All I cared was, I looked kinda good in the checkered shirt blouse. At first, I was kinda sceptical it will look good on my body. Because I have tried shirt blouse before especially from Dorothy Perkins and Target, but it never really fall nicely on my body. But the one I found in York fits me like a glove! Am totally loving it! Can't wait to wear it.<br /><br />And best of all, my boyfriend actually paid for it. HAHAHA! Felt really guilty for spending so much of his money. And with this 2 pieces of clothes, I now realise I will never get a Vado video camera or a digital camera for my birthday.<br /><br />The End.Aishahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17726286080878810668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714354173649625114.post-169873376351622752009-05-03T10:46:00.005+08:002009-05-03T11:22:27.116+08:00You Must Be Stupid To Pay $12 For A Piece Of Chicken WingsI had a conversation with a friend yesterday. And I complained to her how things in Singapore are so expensive. I don't mind paying $12 for a meal if the amount is comparative to the price; or at least tasted a 100 times better. Instead, I got everything in small quantity. I remembered clearly while I was in Adelaide, I paid $10 for a plate of rice with a single side dish. The dish was big enough to feed three people. I'm not saying I want to eat something of that size. But in Singapore, for the same amount of money, I can only get a small serving of rice with tiny amount of side dishes.<br /><br />My frustrations is not just in the quality of food served, but also the quality of living. Housing now cost twice as much as it used to 20 years ago, for just a tiny living space. Plus, you don't even have a garden or a front porch. A four room house now has the space of a 3 room. And to top it off, the design of the interior is so family-unfriendly. Space is normally wasted by beams, and you only have one way to arrange your furniture.<br /><br />I'm also pissed at the quality of merchandise. A handbag made to last for only a year cost $60!! Brandless clothes made of cotton or really cheap jersey go to about $25! A T-shirt made to stretch so crazy, cost at least $15! Stupid. I went to Uniqlo the other day, and was disgusted at the sight of their sandals/slippers. They're such an eyesore! I'd rather be seen in a pair of crocs than that piece of ugly shit. I didn't even bother to look at the price tag. But judging by the basic t-shirts they were selling, I guess it must have cost at least $25 to own a pair of an ugly looking thing for your feet. And btw, the t-shirts were not THAT amazing. But I must say the shirts are. HAHA! But I'm outraged at the price tags for those tees. How much do you thing is the actual cost of the t-shirts if they're selling it for $39? Again, I wouldn't mind splurging on a piece of t-shirt, if it doesn't stretch, colour doesn't run and it has nice motifs.<br /><br />And this piece of information might probably piss off some of you. Diabetic medication in Australia cost 50 freaking cents! Here in Singapore it goes to about $70? I'm not sure. But it cost almost a hundred bucks. Ridiculous!Aishahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17726286080878810668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714354173649625114.post-59663483690451168072009-04-22T13:26:00.003+08:002009-04-22T14:17:26.371+08:00Amazing Race 14 Pit Stop BattleThe feud between Margie & Luke and Kisha & Jen in the last episode of the Amazing Race was really hilarious. Its the case of the reflexes and both got the wrong idea. Both saw the clue box at the same time. And Luke got to it first. Jen who was running to it as well, was not able to stop in time to avoid a collision. And Luke got the impression that Jen pushed him. When Jen didn't. And I find it remarkable that Jen could tell exactly how she got hit. Elbowed and pushed. She makes an amazing witness to a crime.<br /><br />Anyway, Jen further instigated the whole drama by calling Luke a bitch. Had she just left it as it is, maybe there won't be a memorable show down at the pit stop. And besides, Luke is not a bitch. Luke is the dawg (get the joke?!).<br /><br />The second incident that just fueled their anger even more was at the #24 Bridge. This time, Jen got to it first. And Luke who was a second behind was flying into her. And BAM! Jen thought Luke was trying to be a bitch again. But in actual fact, he was not able to stop in time to avoid bumping into Jen.<br /><br />Then at the pit stop, both arrived together with Tammy & Victor. Luke wanted a face-off with Kisha & Jen. Margie tried to stop him. But of course, Luke gets to say a piece of his mind.<br /><br />Kisha smiled at the on-going battle between her sister and Luke. And Margie took it the wrong way. Margie accused them of laughing at her son. You know, I find all this funny, started with a misunderstanding, but when his mother said that, I was so pissed off! That's a baseless accusation she just said. Just because Luke is deaf, whatever everyone else say and do is magnified a million times more. In a normal heated debate, angry people smile at you to make you even more pissed off. That's a natural reaction. But when Margie accused that as laughing at her son because he's deaf... she has taken it too personally. The fight was between two childish individuals. Not between the deaf and the normal person. Because of that, my respect for the team just plummeted down. Sometimes, I feel they are not the victim of bullying. But its us who was born normal who had to be screen for what we say cos people like them might take it the wrong way. Had Kisha been a deaf person, or Luke had his hearing, do you think Margie would have said what she said?<br /><br />Go Tammy & Victor!Aishahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17726286080878810668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714354173649625114.post-24297140680363677992009-04-22T13:03:00.002+08:002009-04-22T13:18:07.639+08:00Nice Moves Mr Policeman ;)I want nobody nobody but you.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ADfl_6-gOlY&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ADfl_6-gOlY&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />I was introduced to this song by my sister.

Why would anyone want to associate with someone like him, I don't know! I'd rather see a hot girl with grandfather Hugh Hefner, than a nobody like him! If a gorgeous lady wants to be with this man, I don't know what to say. I don't think its for the money, cos I think he doesn't have much. And I don't think its for his looks, cos he's a slimeball.

The last time he updated his blog was last year. But this one dated 5th April 2008, really caught my attention. Almost made me laugh in my own vomit! I find it highly disturbing that this is written by a 30 something year old man! I had a hard time believing.<br /><br />The words you see below are his own:<br /><br /><blockquote>5 April 2008<br /><br />Seriously, Did you wash your assholes today??? I m dead serious!<br /><br />This is the truth...You could treat this entry as informative or educational. I find this a need to educate cause it concerns hygiene. If you feel uncomfortable in reading something i seriously wanting to help people, pls leave my web immediately. I am seriously super pathetic guy in this world..I m not joking. I only start seriously washing my asshole only 1 year ago! Before that, no one actually tell me it is a need to wash certain parts really clean. Have you taught your children the correct way to wash?? Spraying with water alone is not good enough which i used to do that before one year ago because I always feel it is so dirty to directly use your fingers to wash clean the parts where shit comes out. Look how stupid I was and nobody actually taught me about washing myself right. Correct method of washing anus, use soap and water together just like you are washing your hands before food. Can you imagine not washing ur buttocks clean...Most of times it will result in bacterial infection of anus cause by the shit, agitating itch and extreme sharp pain even. Sometimes, even affecting your walking too when you cant close your legs. Why the hell my parents never teach me properly how to bathe myself or m i stupid? I got a hidden secret that a few of my close friends know only. <span style="font-weight: bold;">I used to think that sperms fly around and outside our private parts and i tried to fertilize an unwasted real chicken egg when i was in primary six. </span> I feel so dumb now thinking back the egg may be so dirty. Best part is no one actually teach me properly on how to wash private parts. Yes, you are right...I spray water with abit of soap. GUYS!! WRONG! IF YOU ARE READING THIS, I M YOUR SAVIOR!!! THE CORRECT WAY IS YOU HAVE TO PULL BACK THE SKIN COVERING TURTLEhead all the way AND WASH THE DRAINAGE WITHIN and every portion you can see thorougly!!!! DO NOT B WORRIED THAT IT MAY DAMAGE IT OR LOSE VIRGINITY WHAT SHIT. I lost mine at 22. DUN MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AS ME AGAIN. I SUFFERED INFECTIONS WITH YELLOW DISCHARGES N DISTURBING EXTREME PAIN N ITCHINESS during my secondary 3 or 4 period which i cant really remember. <span style="font-weight: bold;">I have to run to my father for help and finally, he taught me how to wash mine with him demonstrating washing his!</span> But dun worry, I dun have any diseases for goodness sake with recent hospital blood report. You all should thank me for having the courage to tell you things your parents may be so shy to teach you all. Dun be a stupid fool like Steven Lim so old then realize that washing asshole is very important for health and hygience. There are no school lessons at my time teaching us how to waste asshole. The most only teach us how to waste hands. I seriously think it is time for schools and visting nurses to add this in their health education syllabus. Thank you.</blockquote><br />Not only is he delusional, his lifestyle is disgusting!! Its like siting with someone who eats his own booger with his finger. And did you notice that the entry started off as a manual on "How to wash you anus"... then suddenly it moved to, "How to wash you penis". And I find it disturbing that a father would show off his penis and teach his son how to wash his dick head.<br /><br />WTH!?!!<br /><br />I have no intention on mocking him. But he left me with no choice. It made me wonder what kind of upbringing he had as a child. And I shudder to think what kind of a parent he'll become.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFRWtg8ggNUK5b-nAAi-obeG9U-J3pLcJu63saIqNNKg4QSLhT9iuCpxEG39AIgOZbu821ODAc3auUA_yYPeQQKWMg6QNvQrDjXPJyuga77OSgxZ-m7SpkbPWVVDfMZV1bMy2YZNNIYhPK/s1600-h/Stevenwlollipop.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFRWtg8ggNUK5b-nAAi-obeG9U-J3pLcJu63saIqNNKg4QSLhT9iuCpxEG39AIgOZbu821ODAc3auUA_yYPeQQKWMg6QNvQrDjXPJyuga77OSgxZ-m7SpkbPWVVDfMZV1bMy2YZNNIYhPK/s400/Stevenwlollipop.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322609520356197826" border="0" /></a><br /><br />EWWWW!<br /><br />My only advice to him is... start growing up.Aishahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17726286080878810668noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714354173649625114.post-44438200651160811242009-04-03T01:07:00.006+08:002009-04-03T01:37:03.842+08:00Adelaide Trip: 1st DayWe left Singapore for Adelaide, via Kuala Lumpur on 13th March 2009. I have never flown to KL from Singapore before. So it was my first time flying in a bloody ancient mini plane. But I was excited at the same time. Cos I get to check out KLIA.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsDBUNTK-MTC1UJ0juGR4qBjkf51mmpb6WHM9fXv7P8QkTuz0UhpVm3KiL_Fauq3nqNOirxWN0XUVfKqLcvswsGayOSaDfM-uwidQeVldbZSzti0EhfcN8BlY-jqrGHrKvjitaHIaO1fUD/s1600-h/DSC00414.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsDBUNTK-MTC1UJ0juGR4qBjkf51mmpb6WHM9fXv7P8QkTuz0UhpVm3KiL_Fauq3nqNOirxWN0XUVfKqLcvswsGayOSaDfM-uwidQeVldbZSzti0EhfcN8BlY-jqrGHrKvjitaHIaO1fUD/s400/DSC00414.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319218261305584226" border="0" /></a><br />It was a 55 mins flight, or maybe less; wasn't paying attention to the time.

We had to take the train to the International Airport or something. Not sure wtf its called. Anyway, its so BIG! It has a number of prayer rooms for Muslims to carry out their prayers. But they don't have a variety of Halal eateries. Anyway, we didn't have time to grab a bite as we had to quickly make our way to our boarding gate which was so bloody far away. My grandmother had to be wheeled around. She didn't like it initially. But she pretty much had a free pass to enter the plane first. HAHA!<br /><br />When we checked in our luggage in Singapore, we were told the plane was almost full. So they had to place us at the end of the plane. It was a blessing in disguise. Because the toilets were just a few steps away from where we were seating, and almost always unoccupied. And surprisingly, there were free seats available at the back. So some people were using the entire row of seats as their bed. They served us dinner with a chocolate bar. And because Australia is so anal about diary products entering their shores, the air steward gave my whole family a truckload of extra chocolates!! I kept eating a bar after another, and felt guilting after. I also found out Malaysia Airlines provided the direction of the Kaabah. Which was a surprise, because Emirates and Qatar airlines doesn't provide such services.<br /><br />Anyway, didn't watch any movies, cos I was so bloody sleepy.<br /><br />We arrived at Adelaide on 14th March 2009, 7 am local time (which was 4.30am Singapore time. My Singaporean boyfriend was either sleeping or playing computer games.) The 7 hour flight was really boring. I wonder how people manage a 23 hour flight!! Crazy!!<br /><br />Anyway, when I wanted to get my passport stamped, the bloody customs officer asked me a million and one questions: Like who am I staying with, what my relationship is with this person, when was the last time I met this person, what places will I be visiting, and who paid for my tickets. Fast forward, we had our luggage checked for food items. They let thru dried squid that stank so bad, dried chilli and herbs, cans of squid, pineapple tarts, potato curry puffs... but not packets of keropok (crackers). Because they said there might be traces of eggs. What stupid fool. They categorize all types of crackers under one. Eggless or otherwise. Crackers = no entry. However in Melbourne, they allowed the same crackers to pass thru their borders. So I think it depends on your luck. Sometimes, they let things pass (for example, the dried squid that can stink the whole room). Sometimes they don't (like our keropok, which they allowed entry 2 years ago).<br /><br />Anyway, we were greeted by my Uncle and my cousin at the Arrival hall. My dad has not met my Uncle since forever. I have never seen him hug anybody like he did with my Uncle. Unfortch, me being the cameraman, didn't think about snapping photos of the events that were unfolded at the airport. Instead, 2 of my cameras sat nicely in my bag. From then onwards, I had both cameras in my hands 24/7, ready to snap any photos or videos. LOLOLOL!<br /><br />We then head over to his place which was at Elizabeth, a 30 minute or so drive from the Airport. But before that, my uncle decided to make a detour to the butcher shop to buy meat for the BBQ later.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ2u81zUGOnYW8d9ZFGvkpVWB6p5b4a7e5dFT-3nWWDJ0CAI4ANwHfLFsiGu9CfWlstCA3ijhR7A96g6XCEIK_o6qX6uM5FnV71kpJUpV-a_an02YLQQFRmFIluGWv0snbA4JOKpNQ5Ixr/s1600-h/Adelaide+2009+%2835%29.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ2u81zUGOnYW8d9ZFGvkpVWB6p5b4a7e5dFT-3nWWDJ0CAI4ANwHfLFsiGu9CfWlstCA3ijhR7A96g6XCEIK_o6qX6uM5FnV71kpJUpV-a_an02YLQQFRmFIluGWv0snbA4JOKpNQ5Ixr/s400/Adelaide+2009+%2835%29.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320145688216236130" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmVh2pjF6vcOy23TbKjLGSFEwE-I49g7ABwi_rYmUCfFNGwtZEJml9Huio7vEiUSboyQV3OYduCUgFEYyFaLq4qPn4OoSmBFVwkGPyMteu5f5-V-QM4vAMD6cFlbmV0UAg82wFdtOTno2a/s1600-h/Adelaide+2009+%2833%29.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmVh2pjF6vcOy23TbKjLGSFEwE-I49g7ABwi_rYmUCfFNGwtZEJml9Huio7vEiUSboyQV3OYduCUgFEYyFaLq4qPn4OoSmBFVwkGPyMteu5f5-V-QM4vAMD6cFlbmV0UAg82wFdtOTno2a/s400/Adelaide+2009+%2833%29.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320145693535320482" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdkT0-CZn6fV-dHgDWS_4RNXEmb0aGNVdYibKp6EfdPaKZTNJ9GuakILpi9OFUwZPESF5D69Nob-S5C-wypw2R9vXGwM7R55Al8fvV34elOdW-UL_-JxRJUJmKSdeUfpghdtS-ed4kWHM9/s1600-h/Adelaide+2009+%2840%29.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdkT0-CZn6fV-dHgDWS_4RNXEmb0aGNVdYibKp6EfdPaKZTNJ9GuakILpi9OFUwZPESF5D69Nob-S5C-wypw2R9vXGwM7R55Al8fvV34elOdW-UL_-JxRJUJmKSdeUfpghdtS-ed4kWHM9/s400/Adelaide+2009+%2840%29.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320145695775879858" border="0" /></a><br />When we arrived at my uncle's place, we were greeted with my other cousins, and my Aunt. Had a light meal before heading out to Elizabeth Mall! The place is so huge, I didn't know where to start first. With only 2 hours, I decided to narrow down my shopping spree to the Target Store! OMG! I missed that place so much! Shoes of various patterns and sizes were fully stocked. Unlike in Perth, where there were not that many varieties available, the ones in Adelaide are. However, because the in thing in fashion right now are ridiculously high heels, I didn't buy any! The only one that I was interested in, were lined with pig skin. :( Felt like crying buckets. As for clothes, not many caught my attention. Actually, none caught my attention. I had to survey the entire shop a million times before I settled for something. Not the same Target store I used to patronize. I bought 2 pyjamas, and a skirt. And I also got myself 2 pair of jeans and a blouse.<br /><br />Surviving with only an hour of sleep (maybe less, it was uncomfortable to sleep on the plane), my whole family just fell onto bed and went to sleep. Woke up in time for dinner.<br /><br />And hence concluded our first day in Adelaide.<br /><br />Later that night, we all had trouble sleeping, and waking up. Took us 2 days to adjust our body to the local time.<br /><br />Check back my blog for Day 2 in Adelaide!Aishahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17726286080878810668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714354173649625114.post-54578042227591539482009-03-27T02:24:00.005+08:002009-03-27T02:32:44.707+08:00Guitar Heroes!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWmHFx5Q8yB5O5O229Pok4BeGzerPQSJa1wC2OpM4ilGYouKjuF09B1KUR-8eNf1gTYtAxuynXApZndMt78VlTHpSOC_BEM4foh3WP14dTNa-eY6nbax6bDFj1_p-jSVUCHXAS9dXSJzvy/s1600-h/guitar+hero+iii.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWmHFx5Q8yB5O5O229Pok4BeGzerPQSJa1wC2OpM4ilGYouKjuF09B1KUR-8eNf1gTYtAxuynXApZndMt78VlTHpSOC_BEM4foh3WP14dTNa-eY6nbax6bDFj1_p-jSVUCHXAS9dXSJzvy/s400/guitar+hero+iii.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317565985919486898" border="0" /></a><br />Ok, since I've been staying over at my aunt's place, I have been rotting at her place playing Guitar Heroes. But be forewarned. It is only addictive for the first couple of days. After that... meh. I've only mastered the Easy Level. Medium is still too difficult for me.<br /><br />In Adelaide, instead of watching Aussie tv shows (which I never like to begin with), I played Wii Bowling everyday! HAHAHAHA! I love that game so much! All of my relatives had a go on that thing. Even my grandmother!! And she score a strike on her first try!Aishahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17726286080878810668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714354173649625114.post-4803205597003168972009-03-27T01:01:00.006+08:002009-03-27T02:12:54.129+08:00TwilightBelieve it or not, I am still living off my suitcase. I have not slept on my comfy bed ever since I arrived home on Sunday morning 22 March 2009. Instead I dragged my luggage down to my aunt's place which is just a block away from my place. Why, you wonder?<br /><br />Because the common toilet in my house was undergoing a renovation the week I was on vacation. And when we came back, they were at the stage of putting on the tiles. Thank God we missed the hacking process!! The renovation took almost 2 weeks to complete. This is probably the third time my friggin toilet had to be renovated. This recent one was because the Town Council wanted to upgrade every single friggin homes in Tampines. We now not only receive new parks, lifts on every floor, new paint works... but new sewage pipes and for a few hundred bucks a new toilet. Those whose toilets are affected had to go down to the makeshift toilet and bathroom facilities they provided for residences. I have never stepped into the hell hole since I am staying at my Aunt's. But I assume it stinks since a hundred of us had to share 4 bathrooms.<br /><br />Voting period for the toilet upgrade started end of last year or something. Can't remember. My dad was against the upgrade because it only meant inconvenience to home owners. But more than 75% of the residence voted yes, so renovate it is!<br /><br />Anyway, since photos of my trip is still in my camera (and I am lazy to upload anything into my computer), I have decided to blog about the movies I watched on the plane home.<br /><br />Initially when I was on the plane to Adelaide, I watched Slumdog Millionare. But the subtitles were too small to read, and I pretty much dozed off 1/3 into the movie. I think its because it was past midnight and my eyes just can't stand anymore tv time. So when I took the plane back, decided to watch Changeling; followed by Twilight. Now, Changeling is a really moving drama. Made me wonder how it felt like to be Christine Collins. To lose your child and not knowing if he is still alive.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaXrJ_HZKAzqOYF3rk2-lryXEyX-jifDkMVi5F5um5bmcMVvNGxnevRlu6Ic38XkMhckDgRpan90sSFSVq1Y6Udq2IFUdXRt-VT6Z1-94rJHj3cBpDlnLJvdMlGdBPN1Qs1FmniSB6jssF/s1600-h/Twilight+poster.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 270px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaXrJ_HZKAzqOYF3rk2-lryXEyX-jifDkMVi5F5um5bmcMVvNGxnevRlu6Ic38XkMhckDgRpan90sSFSVq1Y6Udq2IFUdXRt-VT6Z1-94rJHj3cBpDlnLJvdMlGdBPN1Qs1FmniSB6jssF/s400/Twilight+poster.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317559594153053794" border="0" /></a>BUT Twilight was... my cup of tea. HAHA! Hate to say this, but I love corny movies. A LOT! Now I can't wait for the sequel! The plot is really bare. But the chemistry between Bella Swan and Edward Cullen is just so amazing! That, and Robert Pattinson is really hot. I can now understand why girls all over the world is so madly in love with him!! Eventhough Edward was just a character, he got me feeling so fucking jealous when Bella and him were locking lips! Why can't that girl be ME?!! LOLOLOL! Only he can pull off the 'I just got out of bed' messy hair, and still look cool. Sexy. I think he is perfect for the role. Because his jawline made it look like he's got fangs. The conventional Hollywood vampires would have fake fangs fitted and shown off in movie posters. But Robert Pattinson had it natural. His jawline is vampire stuff.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOdyMpnwL1tQk0226Q075S_Vm7mQyVLFxs4OBmKtlOfwCqtGlWWz0l3VUrejv4IaA_diI2OEvzvO7zyrDf1MxksGswRbTl0EHrWfKUnp3KX_RQpeQcL4Xyt0W2TlV6aESlHEQkDnj7T_mf/s1600-h/Twilight.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOdyMpnwL1tQk0226Q075S_Vm7mQyVLFxs4OBmKtlOfwCqtGlWWz0l3VUrejv4IaA_diI2OEvzvO7zyrDf1MxksGswRbTl0EHrWfKUnp3KX_RQpeQcL4Xyt0W2TlV6aESlHEQkDnj7T_mf/s400/Twilight.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317556657163533426" border="0" /></a><br />Don't you just love it when your other half swoops in and saves the day.
