titles is tadaima... meaning i'm home.. actually need to check on this cause sometimes i find it read as todaima... とだいま...

anywya.. am back from australia. got back on the 23rd, and since my parents were in my hometown i had to go over to my aunt's house to wait for them. and ended up going for a movie in one utama with my two cousins, ben and yen ling...

so what did we watch? infection..... hahha nicole kidman was inside... well after black sheep.... i was kinda sceptical... and was hoping that it wasn't a stupid movie...

it was a thriller i would say.. and well it was ok.... alien infections.. waht more can you get out of it? sounds like alien haha...

overall wasn't a bad watch. the best part?? it was free... :p muahahha.. courtesy of my cousin - ling... and after the movie, window shopped and actually shopped a bit.. i bought a blouse from padini :) my cousin ben makes a good boyfriend ahha.. shopping with two girls... :p so patient.. [somewhat like gene :) - i miss gene... i wanna go out mamak ==] ... anyone up for grabs? haha he is 4 years younger than me though.. 19 years old only ekke...(muahaha.. advertising my own cousin :p )

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

maxis broadband is still being a pain in the ass, the day after i got back ie on a monday, my dad called maxis and asked to upgrade to their power package. 3,6 mbkps apparently, when it is at its best service.. the cost RM98....

and it takes a week to update.. so we will see how it goes then...

computer seems to have slown down.. for no good reason... don't know what's wrong with it... == havent been able to download manga and anime cause of teh connection.. so am scratching my head.. guess teh weather here is too hot for my shiro chan (白ちゃん :p)

so anyway... my trip to australia.. was quite fun.. minus.. some really stress enduring moments, courtesy of my relatives (non stop with the trivial arguments... ==).. but overall it wasn't a bad trip... learnt how to read maps properly, already learnt it on my europe travels... but improved better here... (take that des!!! i can read maps okay... kutuk me somemore... *blek* >P you SHOM muahhahha )

picked up my old hobby of reading again... before i left i asked my dad to buy me a book to read incase i got bored at the airport or while travelling, so i got john grisham's a time to kill.. watched the movie eons ago. and thought taht i would get his book, since i havent read anything besides law books (well not really law books haha as i hardly study after all...), manga (a lot of these especeially shoujou genres ), some fanfiction, (especially fan fiction on ghost hunt, la corda etc...) and harry potter (thanks to the deathly hallows...)

while i was in australia i came across an interesting book that really captured my interest, as some of you all know my nature...

it is called the tales of otori, about a feudal japan in a fantasy world.... got the prequel called heaven's net is wide.... it actually is a trilogy, somewhat like lord of the rings?? ahah..eastern style.. written by an australian author.. and well.. for someone into japanese culture.. at least i could conenct with teh story, since i used to read up on feudal japan, having an itnerest in that as well... easier to imagine how everything was like as well :)

was a really nice story, and i actaully now feel like getting my hands on the other books to find out what happens in the whole thing...

am kind of lazy to write a sypnopsis of waht i read, cause i know that it will be a 5000 word essay or even more.. so click here... if you havent already clicked on the link above...

basically the story are bout clans fighting each other, for teh control of the country, alliances formed, betrayals.. deaths, lost of loveds ones, new love found, learning patience, and deviousness, plots for revenge.... and well.. really an interesting and captivating story, try to read it if you can, and if you have an interest in fuedal japan...

as for me... i will start visiting bookshops looking for it now haha..or if all fails i will ask my brother who is in australia to buy them back for me hehehe ;p

my hobbies are all expensive... == books arent cheap.. anime and manga as well... learning to dance, play piano or to do sports cost money as well.. might as well sleep???? ;p
well no one to do sports with me aslo == and i have no sense of coordination... sad ya... == years of slothing around brought that onto me i guess...

on another note.. satoshi kun... (智君)　ie chee yong aka ccy is back in malaysia !!! yea!!! welcome back for the holidays.. :) at leasst for teh time being i have another teman... (not that the others are not good temans ;p)

and well... another friend to go out with at least... so won't be so bored at home i guess... but i also need some time to catch up on my studies.. missed 5 classes due to my trip... so well... can easily read to catch up i guess... and well... they do have make up classes in november.. we will see how it goes...

as for my little baby.. hehhe.... he was so happy when he saw me... and though a little naughty, still cute nontheless :)

currently my maternal grandmother is staying over and with the maid as well.. haha so, ive had no nagging so far kekek.. thanks to the maid muahhaha.... >:) and well all is fine at teh moment, recently went to the dentist for a followup for my retianers..and was told i can actually slowly reduce the time i wear them and eventually get rid of it all together..(i've already been "reducing my time" muahahha,,,) when i go travelling anywya, i don't wear them haha.. too much of a hassle... but since i have the green light to reduce and in the end get rid of it... >:)

and that concludes waht i've been doing for the time being, as said i will upload pictures and blog about perth.... western australia later... need to collect pictures from my relatives first,....

time for dinner.. till then... 待ったね　：）

-Oracl3-

warning do not read, if you don't like people bitching!!!!!!

title reads as BAKA, MAKUSHISU WA BAKA!! well erm,mmm literal translation is.. idiot... maxis is an idiot...

for the non malaysians who .....well i don't know if you guys still read my blog haha.. but anywya FYI maxis is a handphone company in malaysia like O2, T- mobile, vodafone etc...

so ya and they are being idiots now.. and i oh so wanna bitch bout it.. hence this post... well i m gonna bitch about a movie(s) when i m done bitching bout maxis.....

well... maxis..... they not so recently had this broadband service... wireless they call it... gives u a modem that accepts signals from their satelite and lets you go online and surf etc...

so since my dad promised me broadband when i got home... he did keep his word and viola.. i had my broadband 2 weeks plus upon my arrival back in malaysia... so yes the reason for my disappearance is explained.....

no broadband equals dail up, which equals to super slow connection, which equals to cindy getting hypertension, cause cindy is an impatient person... although she tries her best to be patient, it still gives her hypertension when the page takes so bloody long to load, or doesn;t load at all...(well it rarely doesn't load at all, unless the dail up really can't take the web page's..... technical word......... errr size????but cases of it not loading was like one in a hundred).

so it was still tolerable... cindy could go do a crapper come back and the page might be 90% done.. it was fine.. at least her msn was still connected even though it took 20 minutes... and well she could chat while waiting for the page to finish loading.... go brush her teeth... get a cup of water.. what ever... it was slow... but her hypertension wasn't that bad... till maxis comes a long....

(note: i don't actually suffer from hypertension.. it's just my way of saying that my blood pressure is so high, i could get a heart attack & that my blood is boiling, cause i m so bloody pissed.... )

simplest solution.. don't go online that often... so i was hardly online, and was really happy when after waiting for so, so, sooo, soooooo long, was even on the verge of calling up maxis to scold them asking when is my broadband comming... it came, and oooo it was faster than dail up definetly.... :)

i entered my gmail quite quick, facebook, yada yada.. msn... the moment i m online my msn is conencted... oh it was ncie.. so decided to try downloading, tried it from anime eden, downloaded an anime which i m currently watching called kaze no stigma... it took a whole night....in fact half a day,, but at least it was done.. i could watch it.. so i thought.. well i could live with this i guess.. all i have to do is leave it on at night while i sleep and let it download... that could work, well unlike the UK, i can't download a few at a time, only one at a time.. but i m fine with it, as long as i could download...

so happy was i, that it was like the sky had fallen down, like the earth had crumbled to peices... like, volcanoes all over the world had erupted spontanouesly... like.... well you get my drift....

when not even 3 days after acquiring my broadband, my msn could not connect online, if it did, it was disconnected after a minute, i resorted to meebo the online messenger, it lasted longer, maybe 5 - 10 minutes and still got disconnected...

gmail... was super hard to enter, refreshing teh page at least 4 times to enter was becoming a norm...

maxis claims it isn't their fault, so explain yahoo to me will you??? what about livejournal? it takes so freaking long to load, that to even load the page to delete the 300 odd messages that i had acquired while being stuck on dail up, is impossible....

downloads are at a stand still.. i had to try at least 3 times to download one volume of manga... even a chapter of manga cannot be done...!!!

so what more anime.. i tried for 2 days to download my next episode of kaze no stigma.... it dies after at the most 13% downloaded.. i use direct download cause i don't bit torrent... i tried to download that same episode at least 5 times already.. so yes i m pissed...

complained to my dad, who recommended upgrading the maxis as well... so i told him, and he agrees to do it after i get back from australia... FYI maxis has 2 packages, one is where the connection runs on 354kb, i think.... the other is 700 something kb... they recommended us teh lower one first to see how it works, if we don't like it we could pay more and upgrade it...

so we will see how it goes then... as far as i m concerned,,... it is not the fault of my computer cause the memory or what ever is sufficient, i mean i hv 1gb RAM.... even if i change my desktop picture everyday and activate the screen saver, it should not be a big deal.......

and i always hv at least 15gb of space on my computer.. heck in the uk even when i only had 3gb of space on my com, it was still fine!!!! a few things slowed down but it was still fine...

i mean.. hello, even on dail up.. even tho it took ages to enter msn, gmail and yahoo mail.. at least in the end i got in.. and i stayed in.......unless i got disconnected....(which was not as often as this actualy, i seem to be getting disconnected every minute) compared to this... msn cant even connect..... arghhhhhhhhh

so if you guys have yahoo messenger or google talk.. please look for me there... email me for my id for both messengers... the only reason i could stand my dail up all these years was cause while waiitng for my page to load i could at least still chat to friends... now i have reallly nothing to do, while i wait...i mean... it was fine for the first 2 days when i used it.. WTF is it doing now??????

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

十一日九月二００七年：火曜日

that day saw me heading to the curve (kind of like a shopping complex in malaysia,with a lot of restaurants to eat and a cinema in there...) with eeva to catch a movie...

we arrived at the curve and met up with des, suki, david alex "junior", alex, alvin, katherine.... ermmmm can't remember, i think that was all of us... they are all my juniors from the university of reading, twining with taylor's... so well thought that since eeva asked me a long for the movie, might as well go along cause i don't know when i will be seeing them next. and i do get along with them reasonably well, so why not hang out with them :)

so met up at cine leisure ?? it's called that right?? anywya.. ermm apparently des suggested to watch the movie black sheep but there was none showing at 9 something, the next one was at 1150pm and we've already missed the 7 something one, so we decided to watch something else, and after that if we felt like it, we could watch black sheep..

so looking at the movies showing... non appealed.. then someone suggested secret... well i heard from my friend wendy that it wasn't bad... and well yee sin's friend kok hong, was wacthing it when i was in leeds, and he said it wasn't bad...

well the fact that jay chou was inside.. turned a lot of us off, but some people praised it.. so we gave it a try....

my rating... jay chou still cannot act, he is a peice of stone as usual.... but the story was.... ok i would say... alot of lacunas... i mean grey areas...... well...unexplained areas.... yes that's the word... there were quite some unexplained areas which alvin explained later.. it was ok, and wow the piano battle was chun!! i mean i will give credit to jay chou to say that he has skill with the piano.. that's all i will say.. it was really nice the music, but as alvin said nodame cantabile had better music.. but that was an ochestra.. i would say... the music for this one wasn't bad...

oh by the way.. we went to dragon-i at the curve to eat, and well the juniors actually had some meeting going on, bout using their law debate fund for a dinner.... so des and i were just specatators who were eating haha...

but anywya some of them left and it was only 6 people for the movie... me, eeva, des, suki, alvin, david and alex "junior" .... well err eeva taught me that haha.. cause there are 2 alexes in their batch and since "junior" was from the january batch and not theirs.. (like david) so i didn't know them either, until yesterday.. but they were nice people :)

so anywya was saying we discussed secret for a bit.. and well.. decided to watch black sheep then... cause apparently it has a 4 star rating....

alvin wasn't free and david ahd to leave.. so that left, des, me, eeva, suki and alex..... to wactch.. the lamest show in my life....

i thought this story about this werewolve eating a whole platoon of soldiers lame... this was lamer... killer sheep... WTF

OMG man... i wasted 1 and a half hours of my life on a stupid show, where sheep fart, CH4 (methane, well they do, cow's as well.. they are one of the biggest contributers to green house gases... bla bla.. kyoto protocol... bla bla... you know the gist... and no i didn't learn this from the movie, i learnt this in pre U ie SAM but they did mention it in the movie) and you set them on fire.... getting bitten from a sheep turns you into one.. and i think the guy buggered the ewe..... =='

so ya.... OMG, all of us came out saying how lame it was.... that was so not worth 9 bucks man... god... i don't want to think bout it.. so bloody lame... arghhh..... lame lame lame... don't wathc it!!!!

oh and i noticed.. maybe cause we wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible, but i didn't see a sign saying, no animals were harmed in the production of this movie...

hahhaha.. and well...lame ass movie... don't watch even if your life is on teh line.. i don't understand how could suki stand watching it a second time.. even if she was forced by des.. if the movie was that lame.. for the life of me, i wouldn't watch it for a second time unless i got something out of it.... ==' but des does have his way haha.. i did mention that in crotia he managed to get a hell of a bargain off a pair of earrings for his sis, and which i bought as well :p

so anyway.. actually on 九日九月二００七年：日曜日 after class i went to mel's house to do a facial, cause my pimples were getting way out of hand.. they sprouted in abundance during exam period and refused to subside... causing me to run around the whole of europe and london with it, and well upon return to malaysia it got lsightly better but was still there and painful..

sunday was my first facial.. and gosh.. are facial's painful, when it came to removing teh white heads..... other than that it isn't bad... quite relaxing :) ......but i will see how my skin goes.. i might go for a second facial to hopefully clear up everything else on my face... when i've braced myself for teh pain... but i guess one can get used to the pain? just like epilating and plucking eyebrows??? intially it hurts till you 're tearing, but after that you get used to it... though it still hurts, but not that bad i guess... i do tear from time to time when plucking my eyebrows... hahha explains why i don't look after my brows??? :p

well as in teh condition 2 years ago with my braces.. no pain, no gain.. sigh, the price we girls pay to look pretty... ==' you guys better appreciate what women are doing....

but anyway.. my skin's condition... i must truthfully say seems a little better... :) thanks mel, and mel's mum :)

so ermm.. that's about it, have to start packing for my trip to australia, and well xian ai invited me for a free hip hop dance class later in the evening.. in ss2 (an area... well it's like wokinghom road, where you have houses on one side and shops... except we have more shops and some of teh shops are like shop houses with 2 floors.. etc... and it's way bigger than wokinghom road.. imagine at least 3 :p)

so we will see how it goes... huey is back from thailand.. but i don't have time to meet her till i get back... so ermm... that's all for now.. take care everyone... :) and well please don't expect souveniers????? hahha there is nothing to buy in australia but those stupid australian koala keychains which are made in china.. hahah.... :p and well.. need to save money la... =='

alritey.. that's al for now, it's almost 1 am here.. got to hit the sack..

btw anyone know what is this west reading times?? apparently they voted me best blog of teh week or something..refer to the comment in the post back in malaysia... 2 posts away from this one... =='

haha anyway went to their site, and didn't see a thing... but oh well.. gonna try to pack a little then hit the sack,,,

おやすみなさいみんなさん！！

-Oracl3-

Title reads as gakkou mou hajimaru... don't know bout my grammar for my japanese, but i meant it to say that school has already started...

so yes school has already started for me... again.... not even back for a month and now i have to attend classes again..

yes, yes, i know soome people are saying.. " i thought you graduated already?"

yes i have graduated already, and i am a law graduate, no longer a law student... need to update my friendster profile haha.. anyway.. as a law graduate, in order for me to practise as a lawyer i need my license, thus i am now in a course called the certificate of legal practise aka CLP, whic is the malaysian BAR. cause i cant afford UK BAR... too expensive... and since i intend to practise in malaysia, might as well take the malaysian bar...

the info on my blog... like the reading time and my location etc.. i will change it next week when i have time..

have to pack for my trip soon as well....

what trip? well fyi for some friends and well... errr.. family i guess from the 13th till the 23rd of september 2007 i will be in perth... yes travelling again, this time with a purpose, i m going to perth to attend my cousin's wedding.the cousin which i was staying with in London, and with whom i celebrated chinese new year with this year :) yup, that's her, am going to attend her wedding :)

which reminds me i haven't called my aunt to ask her what would be appropriate for me to wear.. hmm better do it tomorrow after class...

tomorrow, class??? yes i know a lot of people have raised their eyebrows to this.. for the CLP our classes are all on saturday and sunday, with occasional tutorials on fridays... and the timing is so damn insane.. 6 hours straight of classes,, imagine, classes from 9-2pm...???? arghhh.... over the years we have gotten so used to having at the most 2 hours or 3 hours of classes, a day, and even then we had breaks in between, this is like back in school you know, going to school by 725am and ending at 105pm with a 20 minute break, but i think school was better, cause we changed subject every 40 min or hour and a half... insane...

but we had no choice, the timing caters to our lecturers who are practising lawyers, and i guess for the price we pay... can we really complain?? well we can, but who else would teach us...

arghh man it sucks.. but no choice... today was the first day of class, and it was an intro, and i guess maybe it was cause it was the holidays and we 3 months off... but we... well i don't know bout the rest, but i was like really mushed up.. and almost fell asleep....

the lecturer was telling jokes and all.. as well.. so ermm it was kind of interesting, but i felt really tired.... and hungry... reminds me of the time back in high school where i would go to the canteen to buy something to munch on in class cause i was hungry ahha.. guess i have to do teh same here... ;p

i think i will get fat at that rate 0_o'

so ermm either than that, nothing much really..

when i got back from the UK as mentioned i had jet lag, but i've already managed to get over it, i mean i ve been back for almost 3 weeks already....

and well attended marlyn's party, met a few old mates there, had a blast, my new cupboard came, so i cleaned my entire room, and rearranged and kind of tried to decorate it a bit... took me a few days... =='

went back to my hometown.. finished watching goong.. well am missing 3 episodes.. but will try to download those soon.. hopefully i manage to. cause i have to use megaupload to download it, and well megaupload is totally and absurdly stupid in malaysia. unlike UK we can download almost how much we want, but here in malaysia we are set a quota, and we even need to download this stupid megaupload tool bar, which doesn't work for MAC!!!!so yes.. you know my woe without me saying anymore....

finished watching blood + as well.. although it was 50 episodes, but it's really nice.. keeps you on your toes, and if you are like me, curious, you will keep asking for more, cause the way the episodes are structered are, in the way where the answer seems to want to come out in the next episode.. so i go on watching, but i guess i was really tired, cause it took me a few days to finish it...

been doing nothing much but going out a bit, at one point i went down to brickfields with mel and xian ai, cause xian ai needed to register and i wanted to ask some questions... then went with the said two just a few days ago to a law firm in KL called Albar & partners, for their open day, was interesting, found out what some of the areas of law entails when we come out to practise...

on the 4th huey came over to my house, had dinner in my house and we basically hung out and chatted :) showed her my new yukata :)

i hope next year i can make it to bon odori...

oh finally my much awaited broadband from maxis came yesterday.. before i went to SRK Puay Chai, to help out as a scouter :p we made a little campfire hehe.. was quite fun to get back into the scouting scene, although intially when i first arrived felt a little awkward since i've forgotten quite a lot of stuff hehe, but seing my juniors again, and chatting and hanging out with them was really fun :)

oh wait, was talking about my maxis... broadband.... well... err i still don't have wireless yet, but guess my dad will settle that in due time, as for now, am trying the download rate... and it's 7 -8 times slower than the UK but aiya, anything la, as long as i can download la... slowly lor... :p

considered that i m no longer vomitting blood over checking my mail... hahha... in a way i guess its ok... i really must stop comparing to the UK... but i cant help it.. ==' it's just like in the UK i couldn't help myself from comparing some things from malaysia... it's the same la, when you have experience better facilitties..

i think if, a country had weather like the UK, transportation system like the tube in london, and price err, dollar to dollar but in malaysian money.. it's £1.50 imagine if its RM1.50 right :p so it's cheap right? hehe malaysian efficency in the technological part and for public utilities ermm... malaysian culture and food, evrything in english, fast connection like the UK, but lee way for piracy like malaysia haha.. ;p well there is a lot more la... but i would say that wouldn't be a bad country haha... :p

at least when we walk outside we won't feel so hot, and internet will be fast, transportation, cheap and efficient. using public utilities like the luggage trolley at the airport wouldn't be such a pain (at least when you push it straight it goes straight and not left or right...) Malaysia is rich in culture, so we will have clubbing, drinking but we will also have mamak, and hang out places, malls that close at 10pm :p haha.. but oh well.. that's life la, we can't have everything....

anyway.. just got back from dinner at marco's pizza at KJ with mel, xian ai and wendy... had a shower and started blogging.. got to hit the sack soon for tomorrow's class... :p so till then...

おやすみ
