Disaster

Internet suck for the past few days. It really really sucked! I couldn't even log into any sorts of websites, what more to update.

Hmm, shopping has been going quite well for these few days. haha..

Of Money, Waiting, Separation and People

Tea Tree Plaza was our first destination. Called Mom before leaving to make sure on anything particular she would want.
Upon arrival, there were already others waiting and loitering outside the doors in the plaza. As midnight strike, the doors opened.

So it was 12.01am. People were dashing through all the opened doors they could find in the plaza. In a split second, there were already people queing up at the cashiers. Most of the racks were almost, (well not obviously) empty.

Just as dawn breaks, we headed to the city. The pockets and purses and wallets were running dry. Done with everything, headed home to complete the delayed daily routine which was to sleep.
Sigh.

You'll never guess what we came up with for our tansportation. It shows off our desperation to shop. Hehe.

Boxing Day celebration. What a day. :)

Today

Officially a year older.
Well yeah one thing's for sure:

SHOP TILL YOU DROP!!!!!!!

Holidays

Internet connection was like damn bad yesterday.
Well, going for our new-house cleaning in a bit. And its on Christmas!

Ohhh the temptation to shop. Its just unbearable.

Happy holidays ppl!!! :)

The Adelaide-Melbourne-Adelaide Drive

Never drove that long in my entire life.

Was supposed to be back by Sun, but for some reasons, it was extended till the next day.


Tiring. But Fun!!

Roadtrip!

Will be away for a couple of days till Sunday.
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee! A Roadtrip!

:)

Tiresome

There was a row today. Like a BIG one.
It kept me late to go shopping, kept me from concentrating on my shopping, kept me from being able to have my own choices.

Sigh.I'm even too even think and write now.

Well, at least I did went to celebrate one of my friend's convocation today at the park whilst taking pictures. That cheered me up. :)

When The Lion Falls in Love with the Lamb

Just watched and read Twilight.

Undeniably, the plot and storyline was awesome.
But not the acting. It was awkward. The space, the gap between, the actions, the words, the look, the face powder.
That was the first thing that got into my mind.

Watch it and you'll get what I mean.

Have You Watched Them Sleep?

Im not sure would you be able to read it by just deliberately reading it out straight from the screen or would you have to click on it to get a better read.

I got this from an email.
Its worth a read. Trust me.

Bag It, Play It and Imagine It

Went cherry picking earlier today at Stella Creek.
It was definitely fun! fun! fun!

Got a whole bag of cherries in the fridge right now.

Shortly after that, we transformed ourselves into kids where we went to St. Kilda's Playground. Mind you, there's also slides, swings, see-saw (this was the BEST part) etc. etc catered for adults and a separate one for kids! Who wouldn't say no to it right? We forgot our tiredness at the moment.
Came home, the exhaustion finally came about. Hahahahaaa!

Right now I'm imagining myself having the double-yummy prosperity burger of McDonalds. Yeah, its only in Malaysia.
On the other hand, I got an alternative to my external right now. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

Enjoying Every Moment? Not!

Re: My Facebook status.

I'm telling my external HDD,

"Please. Please recognise yourself. I want to watch movies!!!!"

It seems that I cant enjoy every moment now.
Haih.

Enjoying Every Moment

Going cherry picking on Sat! But've no idea where.

^_^

Outrageous

Out off everything that I've read, I found that this was the most interesting and should I say, 'outrageous'-Hotel Guests Request!

Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Fla.

A Turkish man dining at Cioppino, a Tuscan restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton, Key Biscayne, contacted the hotel’s concierge before meeting his girlfriend there for dinner.

He said he planned to propose to her that evening and the concierge to arrange for an airplane to fly across Cioppinio’s outdoor terrace with a banner reading “Will you marry me?” in Turkish. The concierge fulfilled this request, but unfortunately, the woman did not find him to be a Turkish delight. She declined his marriage proposal.

For more!

Envy is a Dog's Life

Dogs can sniff out unfair situations and show a simple emotion similar to envy or jealousy, Austrian researchers reported Monday.

Dogs sulked and refused to "shake" paws if other dogs got treats for tricks and they did not, said Friederike Range, an animal psychologist at the University of Vienna, who led the study into canine emotions.

"It is a more complex feeling or emotion than what we would normally attribute to animals," said Range.

The study, which was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, also showed dogs licked and scratched themselves and acted stressed when they were denied rewards given to other dogs.

Other studies have shown monkeys often express resentful behavior when a partner receives a greater reward for performing an identical task, staging strikes or ignoring what they view as inferior compensation.

It turns out dogs are able to show a similar, if less sensitive, response, said Range in a telephone interview.

In a series of experiments using different breeds of dogs, the researchers looked at how two animals sitting next to each other reacted to unequal rewards after handing a paw to a researcher.

Dogs not given a treat licked their mouths, yawned, scratched and showed other signs of stress and stopped performing the task, Range said.

To show this was not just because the animals were not getting food, the researchers then tested the dogs alone and found that in this situation the envious canines cooperated longer before stopping.

"It is really about the unequal distribution of the reward," Range said. "If it was only about frustration they would stop at the same time."

Interesting, aye??

Breaking Free

Stucked

Disastrous!

I had received an sms earlier today saying that "Landslide in Bukit Antarabangsa, 3 died, 100 trapped happend 4am this morning".

I was like..."What?!!! Again??!!!"

And so I opened a local Malaysian newspaper site to get the details.
True enough, the main road access into and from Bukit Antabangsa is now blocked. No access to food, etc etc.

Ohh, God willing. I just hope and pray that my cousins staying up there are all okay.

Of Hot Stars and The Chill

When we landed, as the back door opened, I felt a sudden chill coming from outside. The weather was showing a vast differenct from what I've experienced the past few days.
The past few days had been a total experience for me.

Did not think much about work.
Met uber hot cool 'stars' and characters.

And that's that.
Put the hot 'stars' aside. Put the characters aside, too.
Now I'm home and there's still a need to complete the uncompleted works. Sigh.
Change my thinking for a while and will eventually get to experience the REAL freedom by mid of the month. Well, at least I got till Jan :)

My should-I-call-it-an-experiment on Craigslist is still on the move. Will have to wait till its actually proven!
