Minami Kuribayashi - Unreal Paradise

5 people; 3 girls, 2 guys.


2 interlinked rooms; 1 with queen sized bed for 3 girls, 1 with 2 twin beds for 2 guys.

3 cameras; limited pictures. We were all busy shopping that we didn't really take alot of pictures.


Day 1 - On the way to LCCT

My first time visiting Bangkok. First time flying with friends. Our first time flying abroad with friends. Anderson's first time on a plane.

Naturally, we were all excited about the trip, which was supposed to be HatYai at first but ended up Bangkok.


Day 2 - Shopping in Platinum Fashion Mall

We stayed in Swiss Lodge Hotel on Convent Road in Silom. Approximately 5 minutes walk to the Sala Daeng skytrain station and very convenient everywhere. There is a 7 Eleven almost every corner of a road, no joke. So don't ever use 7 Eleven as a landmark because you'll bound to get lost, like we did on our first night back to the hotel.


Day 3 - Checking out from hotel

After over an hour turning round and round, we asked a taxi driver to take us back but he said that its just one turning more instead of cheating our money to drive us there. Hotel staffs are very polite. Majority of the Thai people working in shopping malls and markets are very helpful and well mannered as well.


Day 3 - Duty Free LCCT

I totally have a different view of Thailand now. =]
Detailed post with camera pictures soon. Love lots.

Yu Kobayashi - Sora no Kotoba

Sawadeeka~~~~~~ =D

I'm back from Bangkok! 3 days of absolute shopping is no joke. Legs are aching from walking, neck and shoulders are hurting from carrying heavy bags.

But I enjoy that sensation, seriously. I love to walk! I love to take public transport in Bangkok! So easy and convenient.

Will update properly with pictures soon. =]

Joke of the Day

Custom at airport: Ada beli baju baru kah?
SG: Ada! Banyak baju baru!

Psst, if you don't get it, nevermind. It was very funny at that time. Luckily we got off without getting taxed.

Love lots.

PS: I got to be on par with the clouds. I love that feeling. And I'm really happy that I get to see it again in December.

Stereophony - Tsukiakari no Michishirube

Done with finals, finally!


Trade Finance paper yesterday morning. It wasn't a hard paper actually but I messed up a formula, which might cost me some marks. I think passing wouldn't be a problem for this unit, but then again, its an Economics unit. I think I did well for my past Economics units but turned out only a Pass. Unpredictable but hoping for the best.

Right after my paper was taken by the invigilator, I felt a huge burden lifted off my back. My stomach actually growled abit.

Was supposed to head straight home to get some sleep which I haven't been getting due to late nights studying and also insomnia, which has come back to haunt me recently after a few weeks of good nights sleep. Went for movie with the Monash gang (minus Pui Yee because her last paper is today).
We watched 2012 in Pyramid. I think its a pretty good movie, with its bits of jokes and tearful moments. It actually got me thinking, if the world really comes to an end in 2012, I would totally start cursing God for not making it later. I mean, my 5-year Japan plan is supposed to be achieved in 2013! FML.
Anyway, thanks to Anderson for movie and SG for lunch and Queenie for transport home!
Found out that there are hidden talents in this bunch. I feel so useless now. Lolx.

Bangkok on Thursday! Doing research now~~
Love lots!

Malaysia Boleh Moment

I am still alive, banging head on wall though. Trade Finance is giving me headaches!

Anyway, everybody seems to be going crazy over the new BlackBerry. The packages from Celcom and Maxis seems very yummy as well.

BlackBerry Curve 8520



Even Malaysian producers wants to be a part of the Berry craze that they decided to come out with..


BlueBerry. Made in Malaysia!

Malaysia Boleh~ *smirks*

PS: Volleyball quite nice to watch. Japan vs Thailand earlier on StarSports, very interesting.

Big Bang - Sunset Glow

Super sleepy now so just a quick update.

Commercial Banking & Finance paper was totally unexpected. After putting in so much time, I was totally dumbfounded when I saw the paper. The questions were really indirect and I didn't know what they wanted. And thus, I didn't get to answer certain questions. I think it would be a borderline pass, or atleast I hope so.

But I was aiming for a Distinction for that unit. Sigh.

Financial Management paper was next. I think I did okay. It didn't go as well, but it wasn't as bad either. I managed to answer all the questions but there are just certain parts which I can't figure out how to do no matter how much I poke my calculator or stare at the question. Tough luck. Passing should be no problem, I hope.

Today's paper, Managerial Economics. I wonder why Economics units are all 2 hour paper. Its just practically impossible to finish the whole paper in 2 hours. 5 questions with sub sections, every one involves drawing atleast one diagram and loads of explanation. I ran out of time before I even managed to finish. Haven't experienced that in a very long time. I'm having doubts on this. Since Economics units are very hard to score, I really don't know what to expect.

Last semester's Macroeconomics, I thought I did well but I only managed a semi-strong Pass. I was expecting a Distinction. So..let's pray hard. =/

One more paper on Monday!

PS: Yesterday's United Chelsea clash was awesome. United played extremely well, the best this season, but they lost 1-0 to Chelsea. Chelsea played well as usual. The match was great, quality football, in my opinion.

The downside though, was the referee. Referee was super blind and I'm talking on both teams' perspective. He didn't blow on the fouls that he should have and blown on those which doesn't seem to even exist. Why did Drogba get a yellow for getting kicked in the ribcage? Why did he give a free kick that caused the goal? Why didn't he see the way Chelsea players were trying to pull down United players from the neck? Blind, I tell you!

My Top 5 Treat List <3

Christmas is coming! You know what that means, right? =D

Well, instead of a wishlist, where usually people don't bother because the things are either too expensive or you people are just too stingy, I've created a treat list! I shall drown you with the top 5 treats that I would like to treat myself to..or atleast try to.

Here goes!

1) JAPAN TRIP!

I've been stressing on this over and over again since I don't know how many years ago. I really want to travel to Japan and I mean the whole of Japan in one go! I've got to admit that its an almost impossible thing to do in my current situation due to financial constraints, but hey, I believe that nothing is impossible, remember?


So, Japan, I want you so much! And I'm not going there just for the sole purpose of shopping, rather than that, I want to eat eat eat! Imagine all the fresh sashimi and the okonomiyaki and the yakisoba~~ *drowns in own drool*



2) A New Pair Of Jeans!

No, I'm not joking. As have been mentioned before, the pair of low rise jeans that I love, that makes perverts grab my ass, that I can't seem to fit in properly anymore, was bought when I was in Form 2. Now, think about it. I am now almost completing my 2nd year Degree in Monash. Thats almost 6 years ago! And when I was in Form 2 (13 years old), I've got no boobs and no ass. But now at 19, I've got my curves and thus, to fit in to that pair of jeans is just impossible!



I've had my eyes on GAP or Levi's but its so expensive that I just can't bring myself to splurge. Or maybe I'm just hoping somehow I'll shrink and get that perfect fit again with my old one. =]

3) Mini Cooper in RED!

Its my dream car. I love how cute and small it is. With it in my favourite color is just heaven. I'm actually not a big fan of driving, I prefer to be driven around. But there are just times when you wish you had a car so that you don't have to always rely on people to fetch you around.


Ever since I got my driving license, I've been driving my mum's car. But its annoying because she needs to drive to work and at those times, I don't have a car to move about. Not to mention Malaysia's public transport system is a total failure when compared to easy commutable countries like Hong Kong and Singapore. So, I want a car and since I want it, might as well get my dream car.


4) A Trip To Old Trafford!

I'm a United fan, as you all know. And one of my biggest dream is to watch my team play in the Theatre of Dreams. When I saw United in Malaysia earlier this year, I was almost in tears. Its amazing, but I know that the atmosphere here and in Manchester is totally different.


And I really want to be there. Probably if I'm lucky enough, I get to actually touch the players, eh? I think being there and watching them play against any one of the other Big 4 would be great.


5) A Dell Inspiron 13 Laptop!

I really need a new computer. My desktop is beyond godlike slow and I'm not exaggerating at all! It takes about 10 minutes to start up and another 10 minutes to shut down. And its super lag that most of the time everything just hangs. And you know how annoying that is when you've waited hours to stream your animes or dramas and suddenly it hangs?!?!? Then have to wait don't know how many hours again to stream is and prays to God that it doesn't repeat itself!



So, instead of wanting a new desktop, I thought that a laptop would be even better. And what better than the Dell Inspiron 13.

As I'm a university student, I need to be able to access to the internet to do research and assignments anywhere anytime. This laptop weighs only 1.8kg! That allows me to bring it along with me wherever I go; university for classes, travel, even in the toilet!

And I'm always stressing on graphics and picture quality, right? Well, the Dell Inspiron 13 gives me maximum satisfaction in this aspect. It comes with a 13.3" Hi-Definition display! Imagine that! Crystal clear~


Somemore somemore, I can totally enjoy high speeds with the Intel Core 2 Duo processor. That would probably mean a hundred millionth times faster than my current desktop! And you know what?!?!?! It comes in my favourite color too! Amen!


Now, tell me. What is there not to want about this gadget? In my past post, I mentioned that its not impossible to be perfect, it just depend on how we define perfection. Well, Dell Inspiron 13 certainly is my definition of perfection when it comes to a laptop.

Love lots!

Anyway, back to studying! Love lots.
