Birthday 2010

Only 4 people celebrated with me, a 100++ people posted on my wall, and a few texts got through to me.

Thank you for making this a very unique birthday experience, although it felt like another day for me as I had work, dinner and now I'm going to study.

I appreciate everything that all of you did, and more to come. The comments and posts were fabulous!

Thank you all!

I will update again whenever I have the time. My first paper is on this coming Saturday, so if you haven't wished me yet, just wish me luck and that's just good enough!

.. And Another One.

This is what I got for my birthday, originally:

Just simple decorations of the guitars that I'd never own in my life .. Because they're either limited edition, or just bloody rare. The one on the left, the rose pedal Ibanez JEM, would that the designs were printed off from Steve Vai's parent's curtains from their home (!!!), and his triple neck guitar. Just that I didn't like the idea that they added frets to the neck on the far right. IT's supposed to be a fretless guitar, but whatever! Decoration purposes! A good icon to celebrate my 22nd birthday!

Then, my recent eBay fever (again). Scoped around for random figures, and saw this one on.. 'sale'. It's a buy-one-free-one sort of a deal. I've got the Walmart Masterpiece Skywarp, but I couldn't be bothered with opening it.

This, is MP-08. Takara Masterpiece - Grimlock.

OH yeah. <3






I was a bit lazy to take more pictures, so this will have to do.

I know I'm damn happy, and I need a bigger table.

Ever felt like you are somewhat awake, but you refuse to learn anything new?

You know you can go on physically, but mentally, you perform worse than a chimpanzee.

What have I done to deserve this?

I hate being optimistic.

Well, that's enough of complaints. Go into war with my final quiz. Then exactly one week to go through 12 weeks of shit, then finals.

Woopee-fucking-do.

Meandering Thoughts.

I don't know why I put in so much effort into the things and the people around me.

I don't really feel appreciated in return sometimes. That's the sad bit.

The saddest bit is that I've been always feeling this way since forever.

The only cure is for me to stop everything and retreat to my guitar.

Sure, the guitar isn't the best form of "emotional" or "social" return investments, but it's the only thing that keeps me happy and understand others better.

But yeah.





I'm back to my old working schedule like in KL. No off days, work and studies back to back.

It's not like I never got used to it anyway.

This gets me about $600 per week average (which is my current working schedule), and hopefully.. This does not screw up my education.

More to like, I don't really give a shit no more.

I'm a bit outdated

Quickie.

I'm going to make this a quick one as I'm blogging from my phone.

Just minor updates because I haven't updated my blog for quite a bit. But I think I'll be just fine:

I am currently juggling 2 jobs, along with my main "occupation" (as they would call it here in Australia), a Full-Time student. At least that's recognized.

Benefits of juggling 2 jobs - increase in pay. I have been working in an underpaying job and it doesn't really get me much, but I've made it through somehow.

Outcome: earning nearly $700 per week (shyly at $692 actually).

Now with this one, I'm actually able to get Christmas presents for my family. Only if I want to. I know I've already thought of my brother's gift. Heh.

Besides that, perhaps another iPhone.

Now I just spoke to one of my mates in an unknown retailer and I'm able to get a 15" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz 250GB HDD (which is not even in the list) for $1600-1700. Which is about $500 cheaper. I compared it against Malaysia at an exchange rate of 3.06, and I only managed to see it as MYR200 difference here.

Since it's easier, I might just get the MacBook first. Or not. Save up straight for the iMac.

Dilemma and decisions

Also planning to get a car here for convenience. Not entirely my idea, but better to be safe than sorry.

.. Or not at all. Depends

Well, that's about it. Besides that, I also came up with an idea for my daily routine. Sleep at 6-8pm, get up at 3am, slack off and do whatever required preparations for uni before work (if I have work)

That is most probably going to be my upcoming schedule during the study break in 2 weeks time.

Please don't think of me having 2 jobs is insane. No sympathies. I really hate it when people do that. This isn't compulsory, but this is my own decision.

Besides, Mike Portnoy once worked 3 jobs to finance his dreams.

I should too.

It's been way too long.

This is my first time being sick nearly all week long in Australia. And I thought I was getting better. Bloody BS-ing myself.

Well, hopefully today's going to turn out well.

Hopefully.
