yep, today marks the 1st time i've earned money in australia! whoopeedoo....although it was just a meager sum of $50.
what did it serve to remind me though, was how hard it is to earn money...
what am i working as? haha i'm being a kitchen slave for thai ourimbah...my job's to clean the dishes and do some washing up. it's no easy task though...
the job details may sound simple and easy but that's just what meets the eye...
i work on fridays and saturdays from 6pm until the restaurant closes. the restaurant stops taking orders at 9pm, and then is when the torments starts...once the restaurant stops taking orders, i'll have one huge shitload of plates, bowls, pots, and utensils to wash...
we're all only allowed to leave after cleaning up...but oh well, i earn 50 bucks a night for that, and that means 100 bucks a week...which means 400 bucks a month...which is equal to about RM1.2k..not such a bad sum after converting eh?
and that is even more than what i earned working in fucking billion in form 4...that time i only earned about RM500+ - 600 for a full day job, 11am to 9 fucking pm...talk about exploitation in malaysia -__-''
ohh yeah, it almost slipped my mind...i get free dinner as well! now that's what i call ' will work for food' :p

Tales Don't Tell Themselves
Bwahaha i just got myself the new Funeral For A Friend album, Tales Don't Tell Themselves.

but there are no really really catchy songs as yet

Acquaintances
It is only fair to assume that sooner or later, there will be acquaintances of mine who would stumble upon this blog, either with the knowledge of the identity of the author, or not. For those who found this blog and know who i am, welcome.
for this will be the place that i write whatever i want to, whenever i dont have writer's block.
this will also be a place where i sometimes write about musings from the bottom of my heart.
this will be a place of no censorship whatsoever. in other words, i dont care who reads this, im not going to bother being politically correct.
and really, there aren't supposed to be any who are aware of the existence of this :)

Mother's Appreciation Day
The day this year falls on the 13th of May, which falls on a Sunday. A day which people spend with their mothers in appreciation of all the sacrifices and hardships faced in bringing them up. Regretfully, i am unable to celebrate this day together with my mum this year. If given the chance, i would really like to bring my mum out to breakfast and then maybe a movie and some shopping. It's ironic that i didn't do any of those when i had to chance to, funny that i only think about doing such things for her when i am far away and unable to. I guess it is true that people only appreciate things more when they are deprived of it.
To cherish her more, it is only appropriate that i fulfill my role as a filial son, and that comes with maturity and responsibility. With that, everyday can be mother's day...I'll do my best.
I have the best mother in the world, and i love her dearly.
i'm a mummy's boy :D

biscuits dipped in coffee
the scent of coffee seems to be able to soothe me. it has a kind of therapeutic effect which will kinda calm me down n let me stop and smell the roses for a while. it's kinda bad though at the rate which i consume the beverage, i'll become a caffeine addict in no time. thank god it doesnt seem to affect my ability to go to sleep =3
having a mug of hot coffee in cold weather seems to make it's effect on me much more profound. I had my coffee abit differently today, rather than simply sipping and enjoying the scent and deliciously bitter taste of my cuppa, i dipped biscuits in it...arrowroot biscuits to be more exact and it was awesome...
the coffee made the biscuit softer...just the right mouthfeel if u dont dip it in too long, or else it'll get soggy. the outer portion of the biscuit also tasted like coffee, the scent and the taste...
last time when i was a kid, i used to observe my father during breakfast on sunday mornings or supper. he always dipped his biscuits in his hot milo or coffee. back then, i thought it was a gross way of eating. i mean, not only will u make the biscuit look awful, it'll spoil the taste of the drink! talk about being young and dumb eh...here i am enjoying this method of eating biscuits now. i wont be able to see him eat like that for some time now. those days of being a child...are sadly gone...but i look forward to having breakfast with dad again.
yep, i miss him allright.
dad's birthday is on may the 13th! coming soon~

minit-minit ke tengah malam
juz got the new linkin park album by the name minutes to midnight.
the verdict?
i lurve it!
it sounds so much different from hybrid theory and meteora, and fans are bashing them because of it. well then, it was all done in the name of 'growth' eyh...one man's meat can be another's poison, so we can expect a whole new fanbase for them after this album. =D
i reckon this album would appeal more towards fans of emo music.
fav: all the ballads and what i've done =3

Signal Fire - Snow Patrol
The perfect words never crossed my mind,
'cause there was nothing in there but you,
I felt every ounce of me screaming out,
But the sound was trapped deep in me,
All I wanted just spin right past me,
While I was rooted fast to the earth,
I could be stuck here for a thousand years,
Without your arms to drag me out,
There you are standing right in front of me (x2)
All this here falls away to leave me naked,
Hold me close cause I need you to guide me to safety
No I wont wait forever (x2)
In the confusion and the aftermath,
You are my signal fire,
The only resolution and the only joy,
Is the faint spark of forgiveness in your eyes,
There you are standing right in front of me (x2)
All this here falls away to leave me naked,
Hold me close cause I need you to guide me to safety,
There you are standing right in front of me (x2)
All this here falls away to leave me naked,
Hold me close cause I need you to guide me to safety,
No I wont wait forever
No I wont wait forever
No I wont wait forever
nice song....totally blew me off...sounds good played loud :D
