Watch The Machinist today.
For once, there was no subtitle!!!!!! none in chinese nor malay!!!! Was awesome....... without the sub of course.
Anyways.. the show is abit profound. Not something that you can sit back and just enjoy. Requires abit of thinking and analyzing... :P
Quite ok tho but can be a bit draggy... its drama sort.
go watch it if you got time to spare.

MY most beautiful....
So they say - that they are looking for MY's Most Beautiful Woman!? Really?
Have you ever watched it on TV? Actually I didn't even know they had this reality show on. I knew that Dove was having this campaign on most beautiful woman. Not so much of the looks but also the inner beauty.
Ok, I my brains were working at its right speed and capacity, I believe I understood it to be regardless of how you look, what your age is, what your personality is, you can stand out as beautiful in your own way.
Eh Hem... after watching the show, I see is as a total embrassment to watch these ppl on TV!!!! National TV behaving like total bitches!!!!!
Yeah some ain't young either.
Anyways, There is this one lady a mother of 2, aged 39. Okok I am not that young either. But the way, she manipulates the whole situation and put words into people's mouth, spreading rumours to cause a scene was horrifying. But you'll be gla to know that She got kicked out last week!!! heehhee.
Worse of all even while one of the judges was still talking, she was also talking simulatenously. Teruknya ethics. But you'll be surprised she is of mix race coz she has the last name of Davies but she is actually clad in headscarf. Pretty - alright i guess. But with her personality as ugly as that, she didn't look anymore that beautiful.
Gosh, I believe there are many women out there who may not be as pretty outside but has a beautiful inner self and personality but why these lot was chosen.. only those casting people knew.

Just Like Heaven - The movie
Remember sometime ago, I wrote about this book I bought - Just Like Heaven.
If you don't remember, here's the link to it http://mystic_grey.blogspot.com/2005/08/just-like-heaven.html
Today, I went to watch the movie. Oh How disappointed I was!!!!! The story was totally off from the book. I preferred the book version much better. I mean even the characters in there were like different. In the book, there was no mentioned of a sister called abby.
Gosh.... eventho' the only thing in the movie is the view from the apt was awesome. I totally miss San Francisco. I wish I had an apt that overlook the bay and looked that awesome and a garden on the roof top :)
I guess it best to watch the movie first before actually reading the book - which is the best way to avoid disappointment.

Almost the end
My trip in AU is almost coming to the end. I am back from Brisbane. 2 more days here and I will be heading home.
Its funny how when you're far from home, you keep thinking about home - your plans for home keeps coming up. Maybe its God's way of sending me here to put somethings into perspective.
Brisbane was kinda different from Syd. In Brisbane, they have this suburb call Sunnybank hill and alot of asians there hence you feel very not like in AU :) but the good part is the good food and also ability to get asian stuff - if you live there of course. My friend there works as a real estate agent. She is one smart lady huh.... almost every month she sells a property. She used to be in IT and after moving to Brisbane, she couldn't find a job for 1 year + hence the second year she was there, she actuallydecided to take up the license in real estate and go for it. Always the gungho one even when we were in University.
I have some pictures of Brisbane but shall put it up abit later..........
Today I will be going to the city again to... actually get some more things from St. Mary's Cathedral.
Home Coming is closer now... just days away.

A little bit here and there
Alrighty, since I am in the mood to post some pictures, here goes. Sorry peeps, i no post pictures with me in it ah...
Thats manly beach - went there on the first day. Manly beach can be assesed either by going there via a ferry or by car. My friend's husband drove there and mind you, the roads are abit bengkang bengkok :P. When we drove there , the scenic view was just awesome. You can see bay areas, clove... just awesome. There were people sunbathing at the beach. But we just took a walk and then sat down to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The breeze was very cooling, but without the breeze its abit hot. I had my first taste of oporto burger. (check out the website http://www.oporto.com.au)
Inside QVB - Host many expensive brands. I just walked about and took pictures.

Hyde Park - Very refreshing to find a park in the middle of the city. Alot of birds flying around so I had to becareful not to get poop on my head hehehe. Overall the greenery and the dash of fresh air was good.

Hyde Park again
Over Laid Back?
Hmm.. so you're in a country where people are mostly laid back (another word for lazy? is it?), what happens to you? DUH, you will also fall in tune with them HEHEHEHE
Last time I wrote was 2 days ago was it? Or was it yesterday? Its the hardly working that is making my brains acting poofy too?
Anyways, yesterday, we went to Birkenhead factory outlet!!!!! hehe. Really man... its different from what I expected. I have only been to those big huge Factory outlet in the USA and they are extremely worthwhile. Imagine me! A person who loves to shop... ended up with an empty hand :P Pretty darn discipline this trip I tell ya!!!!!!!
I really don't know what happened to me. I see alot of shoes blablabla.. clothes blablabla.. nothing really interest me to just bring out my wallet and buy something!? So different from when I was in Houston in Feb this year. I guess I am looking for something I really really like. Maybe I haven't laid my eyes on them yet? But just like the US, most of the shops here are the same at every mall. Its either portsman, susan, target, kmart, sportgirl... cue..... not cheap either if x3.
Wonder what happened to me!?!?!?!??!
I spoke to my friend who has now resided almost 5 years in AU. She was my ex colleague. I have tried to get hold of her but as usual we were playing phone tags. While I was at the mall getting my lunch. Yeah the mall near my friend's apt. Its like just 5 min walk away. My Ex-col called, lets call her V. V called and started with such an Aussie accent hehehe. Then after awhile she drifted into her malaysian accent. So I asked her.. you have been here over 4 years now.... how do you feel? Feels like home now? I was suprised with the answer I got. She said this... no its not home, its just where I work. She currently lives with her uncle in some suburb. She was living on her own for the last couple of years in a mostly asian suburb and rented a 1 bedroom aprt. Her mom came around most of the time from MY. But i guess after extending the visitor's visa once too often, she had to go home. Since then she moved out from her rented apt and moved to life with her uncle.
Hmmmm... see home is still good? home minus the hot weather would be excellent. But to have home in a hot weather vs cool weather minus family and friends - which would u choose? maybe a few years in the cool weathered country - earn the money$$$$ and then head home :P
If you're still not too old to get a job back home!
I will be meeting up with her on SAT... hence we will be talking abit more.
I head for brisbane tomorrow nite!!!!! only for 3.5 days tho'
I am actually looking back to coming home

Tripping around
We went out to a place called Paddy's Market and Market City. Its somwhere near Hayward ( hope i got the spelling right, too lazy to go verify).
We took the train to Central station. Well, since its been awhile since my friend went to this area, we were trying to figure out how to get around, which train would be better blablaba. Well, this is my first time stopping at Central.
Turn out - the place is china town.
Walked to Paddy's Market, passed by this place called - YHA - mainly for backpackers but look damn canggih wor!!!!! Wonder how much per nite. See I am believer of staying at reasonaly priced or even cheap but safe hotels/hostels. As I believe, when you're travelling, you're not going to be enjoying the ambience of the expensive room, are you!?!?!? If yes, then why come all the way for a vacation!?
Once we have reached the place, we attacked the food court first. I decided on the thai cuisine.... Noddle with 2 dishes - medium size cost me AUD7.90. Eh expensive leh. The Chili Chicken that I took - to my surprised was not even spicy but sweet instead.... not that great but at least the chicken was succulent. The other dish I opted for was the Ginger Toufu. Not to bad that one. But some of the carrots has black black rotting spots on it. Aiyaya.. see everywhere you go, chinese/asians are always prone to cut on the quality to make money! Disappointing isn't it.
Then it was to the floor where they had this Factory outlets for named brands such as CUE, ESPIRIT, CK, etc. I managed to get 3 pairs of cargo pants for my brother which cost AUD20 each. Which is a real bargain leh.
So far I have been very discipline. Most of the things I bought were for people with exception of 2 tshirts since I brought alot of long sleeves and now the weather isn't eventhat cold no more. I can do laundry but I still need enough to recycle around :P
Purchases so far.
1) 6 boxes of PODs
2) 2 large packets of minties
3) 4 kids tshirt
4) 1 adult tshirt for my uncle
5) 1 rose petals rosary
6) 2 tshirt for myself.
7) fridge magnet souveniors for my colleges at work. 2 packs.
Hmm.. i am proud to say so far I have been quite discipline with my own shopping hehee.
i still have brisbane to explore.
Also, since thin heels and pointy front shoes are in fashion - i dont like these sort so which means its good, I won't be buying any. They have those platform - cork heels mules/shoes. So far haven't found one that I have truely fallen in love with.! hehehe.

Updates
I am already into the 5th day in Syd.
Yesterday I took my adventure trip down to the city again. This time the plan was to go to Darling Harbour and Sydney Opera House.
As usual, I left the Apt and took the train to the city. By now, I am already a pro at readin the notices at the train station(eh hem). One thing good is that it scrolls and shows all the station that each train is going to be stopping and also the platform number to board the train. Its very efficient and accurate. I love it.
I usualy stop at Town Hall station as its central and I can then decide to walk to which ever destination and come back here to board the train back as I always bought Return tickets. I find it funny to use the word "return" as when I was in the States, we always use the word "round trip". Sounds better tho' roundtrip and made more sense.
Anyways, I reached Town Hall station (mind you it has lots of exits, you might get loss, if you do just set your bearings right and start walking :P) I went to have breakfast-cum-lunch at Mc D. WOO WEEE.. i just loved the chicken sandwich so.... yummy and the bread is so soft!!!!!!
I then went to the information stall at George st. and asked for directions to Darling Harbour. The lady - an elder lady wasn't too friend. Anyways, i took the sydney map and walked down Bathrust Str as per her direction. All the way straight and I reached the sign that says DARLING HARBOUR... cool!!!!!
Walked around darling harbour. Walked across the bridge there(can't remeber the name, will look in the map again).. and then after finishing off with darling harbour around 2pm. I walked to the other end which is where Syd opera house was.
The weather was blinking hot!!!!!! and the walk to Syd Opera house was one long long long one. These were all done by looking at the map and observing the road names.
By the time I got back to the apt and a total of 5 hours walk. My face is now sun burnt and arms shows evidence of my short sleeves. Go figure, don't even get a tan in malaysia when walking in the city but get a tan here in AU. Ai yayaya
Today I didn't do much except going to Westfield mall near my friend's apt.
Bought PODS!!!!! 6 boxes until the lady at the check out counter said, u sure must like PODS :P
I din'd bother to answer besides just smiling of course. Its sometimes good to act blur or stupid hahahaha.
tomorrow, I am going to Paddy's market.
I do have some photos taken but I shall... put it up another day. Its almost 11pm here and I am dead tired....
p/s I do miss home! Its right when they say,your heart grows fonder with distance. I cant' call my mom everyday now can I!?!?!?!?
Shall update more tomorrow and also next week, I fly off to brisbane to see my uni friend who now resides in Brisbane with her husband.
ciao for now.

My 3rd Day
Today is my 3rd day here in Sydney.
Time sure goes by fast. I arrived on 30th Oct 2005 and today is already nov 1st 2005.
Today I took the Train from Hornsby where my friend G and her husband G lives. Before the actual event. G's hubby, took the pain of explaining to me the train routes and the stops to get off depending on the places which I wish to visit. Even took me on an orientation to the train station the nite before to show me the sign boards and tickets stuff. I totally appreciated that effort. :P
Since today is All Saints day, I wanted to attend Mass. I have surfed the web and know that St. Mary's Cathedral is in the City itself. It would be a good opportunity to attend mass since I am heading out to the City anyway. I found a really interesting item there at the St. Mary's Shop - rosay made from Rose Petals which is from Fatima ( a religious place in Europe - i think its Italy but not sure :P)
The train ride on the cityrail too me 40 minutes from Hornsby to Town Hall. There were other stations which could have been a alternative to Town Hall which of course depends on where you want to get to. I choose to alight at Town Hall bcoz I felt that it was easier and more central since I was going to walk around the city.
Arrived at Town Hall station around 11.30am. Alighted the train. Blur like sotong. Then saw the sign that Said QVB Exit. Took that exit and ended up in another mall called Town Hall Square Mall. :P
Today as just a day where I explored what Sydney has to offer. Pretty much I went to just around the Retail district.
Tomorrow I shall go to Darling Harbour and Sydney Opera House
