the vines

i like this song. but just watch how different these 2 clips are.

now this is their recorded version on mtv. pretty sweet rite? now embrace urself for the next vid…

yes its the same band. somehow their live performances suck. to me at least. some ppl say its good. coz it shows emotions apparently. well, u can show emotions without falling and screwing up ur guitar’s tuning am i right? and i nvr really liked bands who trash their equipment. tats y i lost some interest in linkin park after i watched live in texas =\

itu bawah bawah: part3

we got a car! we got a car! we got a car! ling wanted to get the cute lil 3-door toyota yaris hatchback. but unfortunately (due to the utter cuteness of the car i figured), they were all out on that. so, due to budget constraints, instead of opting for the chrysler, we got the

3 door hyundai accent hatchback! it looks pretty different from the accent in malaysia. was quite a decent drive i must say. but wat do i know, i’ve been driving protons and peroduas all my life =P was searching bout the net for the top picture when i stumbled on this. presenting… the hyundai accent sr turbo concept!

i just love those little blue lights underneath the headlights!

sunroof! sunroof!

tailights could be better. oh well. sucker for white here =]

subtle blue. nice! although its blue, it doesn’t look lala at all =P

looks pretty sweet to me. man, i cant believe i actually like a hyundai. hahaha, maybe its the white. i’m a sucker for white, if u noticed most of the new stuff i have =P WHITE IS THE NEW BLACK!! hohoho~!

so the 1st place we went, perth zoo! hehehe, and to think that b4 i got here, i was thinking that i was just here to spend time wit ling, but i guess ling had other plans for me =] sigh* what would i do without her. so here and some of the best pictures of the zoo animals. more can be seen on my flickr at that side tab

arr! i’m a tiger! arr! i have stripes! arr! i’m colourblind! arr!

this is a skink. somewhat a pest in aus, sold for hundreds of ringgit in m’sia

miniature penguins, or more commonly known to the polar bears as bite sized penguins! the most sought for snack on a lazy afternoon! =P

we got back home for a short nap after that. or so it was planned. ling was gonna bring me to hog’s breath, apparently their steak is pretty good. but… we woke up at about 8 something, by the time we reached, the kitchen just closed =( so instead, we went this place with all these chinese food restaurants. the place to go to look for food late at night =P i was expecting average chinese food, but it was actually nice!! haha, yeah we ate some salted egg squid thingy and other stuff. only can remember that dish =P no pictures, too busy eating =D

and so another day ends. stay tune for more of ozzie. wat can u expect? a nice vintage car museum and maybe my poser shades =P

itu bawah bawah: part2

day 2: i was brought on a tour around Curtin University of Technology, and i was pretty impressed… one thing i like about this campus, no security guards! hehe, but then the students have to pay for parking. aihz, and the free visitor parking is super far from any building =(

i only got to see the parts that my ling knew of, obviously. and tats only about 20% of the campus. yeah its pretty big. no pics of the campus though. would look kinda silly taking pics there =P

interesting things about Curtin:

1. you can buy porn calenders in the campus bookshop
2. you can request for a campus bus to fetch you back home if its late at night (yeah, apparently its pretty dangerous there)
3. there’re cool places around campus, like a saloon! (heh, although mmu has its barber in hb3 hehehe)

well, that was my morning. since we haven’t rented a car yet, we stopped by at coles to buy some stuff to cook for dinner. reached home. mandi. zzz =D

did lotsa sleeping throughout me holiday here. which is good. don’t wanna burnout here =P

woke up to find my ling busy cooking in the kitchen d. she’s so nice. let me sleep a lil longer while she starts cooking 1st =] so i became her kitchen helper. the menu of the day was baked potatoes and pork steak! only 1 word i can say: AWESOME! my ling use to only know how to bake stuff wan, and now she can cook too! WOOHOO! i’m gonna die a fat satisfied man X-P

watching moulin rouge after dinner reminded me of how much i enjoyed watching movies with my ling. although sometimes i end up watching it myself =P can u believe halfway into the show, she paused the show. i thought she wanted to go pee or something, mana tahu, she paused the show, den slept there.

-_-”’

i could stay awake, just to hear you breathing… yeah i could =]

itu bawah bawah: part1

arrived at perth airport at 12 something m’sia time, +1 hr perth time. for the 1st time i felt the spirit of Malaysia Boleh! haha, this sudden surge of patriotism came from a visual comparison made between KLIA and Perth Airport. For all u ulu ppl out there like i was, yes KLIA is indeed a world class airport! i mean, just seeing the size of it, i think KLIA is like, at least 10 timez bigger. serious!

well, the flight here wasn’t too good, wasn’t too bad. i think something’s wrong wit my body’s pressure and balance. i can’t sit on those gila gila pusing kiri kanan upside down inside out kinda roller coasters, neither can i dive deep into water (tried doing that will snorkelling in perhentian, ears couldn’t take it after about 3 meters deep).

the takeoff was alright, just the normal feeling in the ears u get from driving up to genting. but the landing… that was… pure pain >.< from the time the plane descended from 20000 feet to landing, it was torture all the way down. i thought maybe the plane was descending a little too fast, hence the pain, but everyone else on the plane was ok. haha, i guess i’m just meant to be a wuss =P

after getting of the plane, and doing all the mumbo jumbo (baggage retrieval, passing immigresion, etc) i imagined my ling to be waiting for me eagerly at the arrival gate. i could just see it in my head: it would all be in slow motion =P i would appear at the gate, looking downwards (trying to be macho), then as i look up, i’ll see her running towards me. i’ll dropped my hand baggage to the ground, just in time for her to leap into my arms! wow. but as i looked up, all i saw was aussies. so i waited.

and waited. and waited summore. hehe actually not that long la, about 20 minutes nih. she called and said she was outside in the car already. went out to look for her. she saw me. she walked, not ran. she hugged me, but didn’t leap into my arms. aihz, how reality always falls short to our dreams =P and i cant believe the 1st thing she said to me when she saw me. “why your hair so short wan?” -_-”’

heh, oh well. thats my ling i guess =] always more critical to the way i look than me. won’t change anything about her. she looked more beautiful than the last time i saw her. despite her saying that she’s fat liao and all, i was just happy i could see her in front of my eyes at that moment =D her fren simon picked us back to her place. i unpacked, bathed, bla bla bla. then we went to bed =]

coming soon in part2: curtin university & perth zoo =P

p/s: pics in next post! =]
