...of hypersensitive fire alarm systems here, I've been evacuated 4 times. In 5 weeks. Madness. I just hate the blaring sound of the alarm in my ears... And having to worry and run for my life too, of course...
But at the end of the day, it's all still an interesting experience...

...everyone has their limits, you should respect them.
Just because...
...I can talk cock with you doesn't mean you can direct personal insults at me all the time.
Just because...
...you can sense that I'm getting uncomfortable with your words, you should realize that you're crossing the boundary and should stop and apologize instead of getting pissed off that I'm not as 'fun' anymore.
Just because...
...you need to grow up, I'm gonna go and tell you that now.

...most people subscribe to the belief that change doesn't happen overnight doesn't mean that this belief is true. I've met countless people who have seemingly changed overnight but the shock I feel now just can't compare. Maybe it's not just about change, maybe it's about the betrayal... About how one person is so set in her ways and never succumbed while I was there. Could it all just be a competition? That if she were more like me she would feel compared to me while I were there so she strived to remain different?
Being away from home and the people I care about has really opened my mind. Maybe it's that or reality hitting. Or maybe I'm just growing up, along with the people around me and I start seeing changes that I do not wish to see.
Nah, I think it's more about the betrayal.
Maybe it's time for me to change. To leave this idealistic world that I refuse to believe I am in. I am a realistic person but I might just be too trusting. Shall I start being even more cynical towards life? Could it be that Jelvin's right after all?
I feel like crawling into a hole and stop this change from happening... But as they say in my textbooks, "Change is the only constant". It looks like hiding in a hole is not an option for me.
Chin up!

...life shouldn't be about living in fear or denial, I went for my first ever sexual health check-up today. Urine and blood samples were taken and I'll know my results in a week's time. Should be fine but the only thing that's bothering me is how much it would cost. The doctor couldn't even tell me cos here everything is so specialized and segregated. Sigh... Hope the bill will come soon in my mail and wouldn't cost me a bomb =(
On a worst note (or not), my laptop crashed the other day and I just spent AUD120 today to replace my hard drive. 160GB only. Bleh. Feel so poor. Sacrificed going to Glassy tonight and I'm being forced by Tegan to attend the Black & White Party this Friday. Gotta really look for a job soon!!!

...I've got good reason to, I'm gonna dedicate this post to complaining about THE MOD HOUSE.
For those who are unaware, it's a local fashion label in Malaysia and they have an outlet at Mid Valley. Apparently they dress the newscasters from God-knows-which-news-channel.
Anyway, their merchandise are overpriced and of low quality.
Why do I say that you may ask?
For Chinese New Year this year, I was very unprepared and thus did my shopping at the very last minute. Happily walking around with my mum, we came across this bloody shop after having the yummy-but-also-overpriced durian dessert nearby. The place looked ok but what attracted me to it was that it was new and it had the words 50% OFF splashed all over.
To cut a long story short, I bought a pair of shorts at RM45 (originally RM90) and a dress for RM90 (originally RM180). My sis was furious when I got back cos she said it was way too expensive for something that wasn't special at all. And she was right to say that. And I'd be flaming mad if I actually bought these stuff without the discount.
I've only worn the dress once thus far and it hasn't given me problems BUT on the first day that I wore that pair of shorts, the zipper broke. Yes. On the first day - at my friend's open house where we were pulling an all-nighter. How wonderful. I couldn't unzip my pants and had to hold the effects of processed beer trying to leave my urinary system from bursting out of me. After about an hour, I decided that was it and tried again. To no avail. Frustrated, I just pulled my shorts off, and thankfully they came off cos its material is kinda stretchy *relieved*
When I was free, I went back to THE MOD HOUSE to ask if they could fix the lousy zipper for me. Alas, the salesgirl didn't know what to do and made me wait while she called for help. After about 5 minutes, she told me they could replace the zip for me at a price (!!!) AND I would have to wait 2 weeks for it to be ready. What the hell?! 2 weeks to replace a zip? Bugger... I was leaving for Australia in less than 2 weeks so obviously I couldn't leave it with them. Slightly annoyed, I went around looking for some tailor/seamstress/whatever who could fix it for me in a week's time. I did. And had to pay RM16 for it to be ready the day before I left the country. Wonderful. Now my shorts had cost me a total of RM61 not including the trouble it caused me and the extra transportation costs incurred for me to get it fixed.
Now the part that's cheesing me off is that, after paying RM61 for a bloody pair of shorts from a stupid Malaysian fashion house, the button has broken while I'm in Australia. Yes, BROKEN! Shit man... When it came off I thought I could sew it back but then I realized it's bloody made of plastic and the plastic has friggin' BROKEN! Argh! I'm so bloody pissed off now it's not even funny.
So dear readers, I feel like it is my duty to warn you not to buy anything from THE MOD HOUSE. Seriously. This is History 101. Learn from my mistake.
