"I have already chose her, but did she chose me?". 
Those words from Avatar struck something in me. I just returned from watching Avatar in 3d and the cinematography was amazing! It was actually my first time watching a 3d movie in the cinema with the supplied glasses and I literally thought I could touch some of the objects on the screen. It took about 2 hours and 40 minutes and I was seated on the left wing next to the wall in the second row which wasn't the best place to be but the movie was worth it. The plot had similarities with The Last Samurai in animation style. And halfway through the movie during the kissing scene, a little kid shouted out, "They're kissing!!!!" and everyone started laughing. Hahaha.


I wonder what I should do for New Year's. Half of me wants to watch the fireworks, and the other half says to stay at home . I seriously feel annoyed + disappointed the last few days. Things have not been favorable to me. Even I stuff up at simple duties at work. Sigh. I don't feel as appreciated as I used to and I feel like I'm being brushed away many times. I don't even know if I'm important anymore to be cared for. I wish things would go back the way it used to be. And I'm trying so hard to make things right, yet my efforts don't seem to be heading anywhere. And recently I've been having thoughts of packing up and moving to another uni in perth to get away from here. Sigh. I wish I didn't have to go through this shitty phase and wish things we're how it used to be. I know I've got great friends to count on and they have been reliable even though I have been neglecting them for a point in time. But there is only so much one can do and right now, I don't know how long I can hold on and keep my sanity.  I need help soon.


Life feels like shit right now. 


Can't wait for 2009 to be over.

I just tried my luck with night photography + a nice stroll with the cool wind and it turned out pretty good. I'm really happy with my new lens and it's ability to take really amazing photos though my skills may be insufficient in handling it.










Maybe I should quit my course and start learning photography. Who knows I can be a freelance photographer and get to snap photos after photos of Victoria's Secret models. Drools.....

Sorry for the emo rants and bitching. I just had to get it off my chest in a way which I seldom do online. To make it up for the readers, I will be posting food pics of my homecooked meals. And for 2010, I resolve to get in shape as well as learn more recipes which I hope to share tantalizing images that may stimulate your mind and taste buds as well. 
I'm still contemplating whether I should watch the fireworks or not. Anybody needs a date on 31st Dec?

I am too depressed I don't know where to start. This whole year has not been good to me. In fact, I just had the worst birthday and x-mas ever in my whole life! I have never felt so rejected, torn, backstabbed, ripped to shreds not to mention a few in such a long time. I can't wait to move on and start a new life which obviously will take a long time for me to recover from the shock from the looks of it. At least someone else will be happy with this choice. Good luck to you know who. 


Guess I'll spending my NYE alone this time. I don't even feel comfortable being alone anymore. I used to be able to suck it all in but now I wish I was back in KK, along with the friends and family who didn't judge me and accepted my wrongs and for who I am. This year has totally been such a challenge for me, both physically and mentally. I'm so determined to get back on my feet starting 2010 and be more self independent. I don't want the same mistakes to repeat again. 


Why does this happen to me??


WHY WHY WHY WHY????


FUCK MY LIFE!!!!! 
and have a wonderful new year.

X-mas is just around the corner!! Ho Ho Ho..I wonder how christmas will be like this year.


On a side note, I finally got my new lens!! The nikkor 35mm f1.8G and it's awesome! I'm pretty sure I won't be using any other lens soon as the clarity of the pictures are just too damn good! I had a chance to use it when we had our long-awaited gathering with the GJ crew at seoul ria on monday night. It's been about 2 years since we ate there as a group. Missing out D though. Hopefully we'll have another chance once he comes back from Indo. After dinner, we had another round of mahjong at my place. 4 hours of mahjong from midnight till 4am and I still had work at 12pm.


And work was so tiring! I didn't even felt like leaving for work. Sad to say many "incidents" happened at the workplace. Highlight of the day was when the escalator just in front of our shopped got stopped abruptly and many people fell over backwards. A large crowd was attracted and someone broke the leg and many people got injured and actually bled on the escalator steps. Once the crowd dispersed, I actually noticed cleaners scrubbing away the dried blood on the steps. Apparently people are gonna sue Westfield mall who in turn will sue the escalator company. Talk about playing the blaming game.







I love this shot!

So my birthday has come and gone. I hope I feel a little wiser than before. And though I didn't celebrate my b'day on a grand scale, it was still with the people that I care. Tara and I were closing at bondi on a Friday night, and coincidentally, it was her b'day on that particular day! Too bad she had to work till 10.30pm with me.
But at about 10ish, I saw some mysterious figures lurking around the corner outside our shop. I "acted" surprise when 3 of them came walking in with a cake in hand. Thanks to Liying, Meike, and Kenneth for the effort of surprising both of us. DJ was on hand to join in as well. So we closed the shop in time to eat the cake and just chill at the shop by ourselves and decided to play pool later. =)


Saturday felt just like another ordinary day to me. We decided to take a walk and act like bloody tourists carrying our cams from Circular Quay all the way to Botanical Gardens to the CBD. And we had Ayam Goreng 99 with Windy who's leaving back to Indo this monday! Headed home for games with Kenny and Windy who decided to join us for mahjong!!! I have never played mahjong in my life and it was so much fun!!!! Specially rubbing the dice for good luck and all that crap.
We'll miss our 4th kaki since she's leaving already. Need to find more players!
















And a major THANK YOU to everyone for the heartfelt wishes! Life won't be complete without you all!

Sorry for the lack of updates as I have been neglecting my blog for over a week.
Many events have happened lately, some good, some bad. Sis has been home for the holidays and I'm stuck here just bumming around, cept for the casual work shifts which ain't much. I wish my life would be more interesting. If only I had more money or won the oz powerball. There's so much I want to do: travel around Asia, buy this and that, and eat and eat and eat. Speaking of eating, I am going on a diet plan starting tomorrow! I gave a shocking image to Windy when she first saw me today and said "What has Liying been feeding you???". Does not sound good at all. *Sigh*


Today we went out as we both had a day off from work. Walked around circular quay, checked out the sales at myers and played pool with Kenny, Windy, and Edi. Pictures are of course a complimentary from my camera. =)



View of Circulay Quay, The rocks.




Choc indulgence at Guylian Cafe.


Cupcakes on Pitt St.








It's been a long time since we hung out with the gang and it feels good to see them again. We might have another gathering at my place this Sunday in honour of Tara's birthday which actually falls today, the 18th of  Dec. MMMMMmmmmm.. More food. Screw diet! Heh.


On a side note, getting around and about today will be difficult as all the bus drivers are on strike. So should I let my boss know I can't make it to work due to transport problems or will they pay my taxi fare? Hmmmmmm.


Ohhhh, I might be getting a new prime lens! The nikkor 35mm f1.8G sometime next week! Great for its wide aperture. Can't wait! Guess I've been bitten by the BBB virus. The BUY BUY BUY virus. SIGH!

Finally managed to get a day off this week and our plans to the park were scrapped since we decided to sleep in. What a waste of the day! We only managed to have lunch at KCR at about 4 in the evening and decided to go Bondi Beach. Scrap that again. Ended up at Centennial Park instead since LY has never been there. Hence, most of the photos were taken at the park again.

















We decided to give miss D a lift since she wanted to head to Bondi Junction after work to do abit of window shopping. We ended up having sushi for dinner. Two days in a row of Jap cuisine. Maybe I should head down to Ben's Thai for the yummy 101 dish sometime soon. 
Mr H will be arriving soon on Sunday. I'm sure he has alot of goodies to show from his Singapore/Malaysia trip. Hopefully some nice lens as well.


PS : might meet up with the GJ crew for a spot of dinner sometime soon. It's been way too long overdue!

Bored out of my wits! Haven't got much planned cept for lunch with LY today before her shift started. Decided to have japanese at Ichiban Boshi at Bondi Junction. It's great for a quick satisfying meal with decent prices. I decided to have the karaage-don while she had the salmon don.



Salmon Don $12.00






Karaage Don $10.50


After dropping her off to work, I decided to check out Centennial Park before picking her up and it was hugeeeee!! It's a huge piece of untouched,bare land with endless parking. Had a bit of a go with my camera to pass time.

























Photography is such an expensive hobby that I really need to curb my desires of getting lenses, flash, and all the what nots of any possible dslr accessory available. I'm actually thinking of either getting a wide angle lens which costs about $800 for a really nice one or just a prime lens, maybe the 35mm f1.8.
Sigh. If only my job pays more.

Tired. Disappointed. Annoyed.
Lunch did not turn out as expected to be. It rained heavily after work ended and had oporto for lunch. I'm really starting to hate fast food especially from food courts. My tummy deserves better!
I'm really annoyed at people who are ignorant towards others. I'm not saying I'm perfect either. I do have a bad temper. But in general, people should also be perceptive and know what to prioritize and for who. Not just turn a blind eye and think about oneself. If this keeps up, I might be having lunch alone more often in the not so distant future. I'd rather just cook and eat good food at home than have fast food most of the time outside anyway. For the readers out there, I'm sorry but there won't be any tantalizing food pics of my lunch which I'm sure would have been better than oporto if it didn't rain. 
But I did manage to snap some random shots while walking around and waiting for a certain someone to show up. Who knows, this might be a regular thing. The "waiting" i mean.














Mum called me today after not hearing from her in awhile. Talked to little sis too and she's envious of my dslr. Hehehehe. She even wanted to get me jealous by saying she wants to get an iphone. Tsk Tsk. Can't wait to meet them in January where I can optimize my camera to the fullest. Maybe I should create a family album seeing we don't have one for as long as I can remember.
So where should I take them to?



Don't look back.
