Say something

I ve been listening to this song over and over again this past few months and I really cant get over it. Its really that good. This song really brings back memories and also how much I love a girl  but we can just only be friends. Its sad sometimes but I guess what is meant to be is meant to be. I don't want to go over those boundaries and spoil the friendship of what we have now. I know you readers out there would be saying u kinda deserve it since you don't want to do a thing to get out of the comfort zone but its not like I haven't tried before. I did and got friendzoned but until today I still love her. Some people would think that the things I do for her kinda shows I want to make her like me but its not that all. To me, the things I do just gives me happiness and I really don't expect much in return. I don't expect her to suddenly fall in love with me with what I have done. I am just doing what I can do in my best abilities to make everyone happy around me. I have been that guy that has always been a bad liar and always don't feel really nice to keep secrets from someone unless I have to. In this case, I have to. In fact, I already tried to cover up most of my tracks so she will never find out what I really did. Its those secrets that I will take to my grave and regretting at the same time but it has to be done to preserve that friendship. I know I don't have good looks or even possess the best body shape but that is not the end of the world I guess. There are always ways of changing. Afterall I guess I have stumbled and fall and im still learning to love and still have lots to learn

Anyways just a random rant I have... and to end it ill put the last part of the lyrics in


And I will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbye

Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you

Wantilan Bali 

Tried this place over the weekend, never knew there was a balinese place around Hawthorn. The moment you get into the restaurant you feel that comfortable ambience and the classiness of it. I actually miss food in Bali so it was pretty much a good thing that i manage to find one out here in Melbourne. 

 The menu 

The bar and the decorations in the restaurant 

The nice table setting and the menu  

Ok, so we started off with drinks and the one on the right was the Es Teh while the one of the left was the Kopi Bali which in my opinion was one from a box and the other was watered down coffee.. didnt really like  it 

Next up, the food!! It came pretty quickly and the first dish was the Be Celeng Guling which was Balinese suckling pig. I miss the Babi guling in Bali, this one on the other hand, although tasty but the crackling was so hard. Instead of being crispy, it felt like i was biting on a rock. and on the side was sweet potato rice which was just normal rice with sweet potato in it. Nothing really special. 

Then came the Wantilan bebek goreng. This one i would recommend as it was pretty crispy and tasty. Although cant be compared to the one in Bali but for Australian standards i would say that it was pretty good especially with rice. 

The gado -gado was just a simple vege dish i guess. Should have gotten the plecing kangkung instead. At least the gado gado still lived up to its expectations but nothing to shout about really. 

All in all, had a pretty good meal for Aussie standards. This place is a little bit pricey but with good service and ambience it levels it out. Food wise i would say it was a decent meal but if you have never tried Balinese food before, its a good place to try it. I give Wantilan Bali a 6/10 

Have a great week!! 

Gypsy and Pig 

So basically this is my first review after so long, so here goes... 

Me and my friends went to this place called Gypsy and Pig which was in Melbourne in Hardware Lane. Apparently this shop was owned by a Japanese chef that used to work in a top class restaurant but he went for a long holiday and when he came back he decided to open up this shop. 

I must say this place is abit pricey for students which is about in the range of 20-30 dollars per meal but the quality of the food is definately worth the money. The pork that is used for the dishes here are not ordinary pork but black pork or also known as kurobuta in Japanese which is prized for its juiciness, flavour and tenderness which definately what i had in the dishes i ordered here. 

The setting and menu 

the picture above is the picture of the chef and his assistant. This shop isnt really that big so it feels very cozy and the ambience was great. If you want to try out this place, u might wanna book in advance cause they really dont have that many sits. 

The different type of sauces and the one in the winnie the pooh honey pot is the so called "nectar" for the katsu or fried pork loin 

the stewed pork belly with half boiled egg. $25

The katsu / pork loin.$27 for the whole set 

I would really suggest coming here if you are really into katsu. The quality is definately there and the flavours from the ones i had were just awesome!!!! i give it a 9/10. 

IM BACK!! A small preview of whats to come

So its been a while since i have even bothered to post anything here but since i have gotten a new DLSR.. and also starting to explore places around Melbourne, i have decided to start this blog up again. 

Pretty much what you readers would expect from this blog would be more of a food blog and hopefully i can update as often as i can with new and exciting places. 

So here are a preview of some of the places that i have been... 

LAO TUO JIA 

Hand made noodles with chicken and potato

 Lamb skewers 

 KITCHEN INN 

 Kampua special with Teh C Special from Kitchen Inn 

 Fried bee hoon from the Taiwan Cafe in Boxhill 

 2 Kampua Special 

 Kolo Mee with their special beef soup from Kitchen Inn 

Mud Cake from Universal.. surprisingly good 

These are one of the very places that i have been recently.. i have a backlog of other good food places that i might load it up after my exam.. cheers and have a great day !! :) 

Thoughts

Sometimes the beach tends to have this calming effect on me.... It gives me that time to relax and think what i have achieved throughout this few semesters...

And i must say, i am at least improving, hopefully i can do better for my next job and be a greater person than who i ever was....

Sometimes i really try my best, but it never turns out that way and it can be pretty demoralizing.....

but at least i learned and understand of how this world can really be when we let our guard down....

At least from these events i can learn to stand on my own two feet and said that i have done this and in a matter of time i will accomplish whatever i have not done well in..

As the sun set, i see myself appreciating more of this world rather than the people living on this earth...

Life as we know it depends on how we treat the land we live on, its not always about earning that cash and be the most ruthless in the world and by dominating this world, where will u bring those earthly processions when it ends when we are still around?

Who are we to pollute this beautiful planet that we live on.....

Maybe one day, earth will just turn into Mars, a planet that could have had live forms...

So cheers to life and mother nature who created this beautiful scenery for us to witness and be amazed by it...

Without you

Bucket full of tears

Beauty and the Beast Duet originally by Celine Dion & Peabo Bryson COVER

TO make You Feel My Love

When the rain is blowing in your face

And the whole world is on your case

I could offer you a warm embrace

To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear

And there is no one there to dry your tears

I could hold you for a million years

To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet

But i would never do you wrong

I've known it from the moment that we met

No doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry i'd go black and blue

I'd go crawling down the avenue

No there's nothing that i wouldn't do

To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rolling sea

And on the highway of regret

Though winds of change are blowing wild and free

You ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy make your dreams come true

Nothing that i wouldn't do

Go to the ends of the earth for you

To make you feel my love

To make you feel my love

By Bob Dylan 

NEW YEAR!!!

Happy new Year everyone!!! My new year resolutions... i cannot be bothered about posting new stuff unto my blog.. yes.. im getting lazy during the holidays mainly cause i got so many other chores to do which has killed my interest in almost everything.. all i want to do is shut my brain off and stare at the "box with colours" in front of me ...

Anyways since its the new year.. i would like to say that it must be the year that i change for the better. Time to leave my past behind.. no more gf means more freedom to find a new one i guess haha.. but oh well like what my friends have told me.. enjoy the single life.. but i cant help but to feel lonely inside sometimes because i have been lonely my whole life.. i mean besides always being with my parents, life has always been pretty quiet as i dont have any brothers or sisters... so in all my relationships i have pushed myself to always cater to my gf and really care for her.. sometimes i feel that is my moto.. to love and care 100% for the one i love.. which in the long run never did me any good.. as it never lasts long.. maybe cause i still havent found the right one huh.. hmm.... oh well.. time will only tell.. we will always fall but that to me is the most awesome part.. it teaches u many lessons and u learn to be a better person and learn to be more matured.. haha..

Well.. i would just take this opportunity to thank my ex for teaching me alot of stuff of being a better person and i really did appreciate the stuff learned and i dont whole any grudges against her.. she was just awesome even though she had flaws.. who doesnt... we are all imperfect. Thats how all relationship grow anyways the fact that we have to live and learn and know each other pretty well.. for me i guess because we just had different paths to follow which made us not suitable after a while.. and sooo it has lead to the end of my relationships and into the single life.

There are kinda rumours going on that i actually like a girl but truth is.. i just feel that we are friends.. nothing more.. I was just being a little bit caring cause she had problems thats all so i hope that rumour would just die down afterawhile but i cant be bothered now anyways as i have new targets of my own.. wahahaa.. yes.. im desperate some might say but hey its good to have crushes once in a while. Good to keep that heart pumping... hahaha.. but..

THE MAIN AIM IS TO GRADUATE!!!! OMG!!!.. really wasting life to get stuck in monash.. if i continue the lecturer would be my best pal... keep on meeting the lecturer.. lolz.. and oh yah..

I WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE TO THE BADMINTON CLUB AND ITS MEMBERS AS I WOULD BE STEPPING DOWN FROM MY PRESIDENT POST!! 


Unfortunately that was one of the conditions that my parents had given me in order for me to return to Australia to continue my studies.. So i would like to apologize to everyone for pulling out now and thank you to everyone who voted for me.. I hope i would still be able to help the club out from time to time and regretly never got to show my promise of running the club to please the members. 


And i think that should be it for now.. kinda regret with some of the things i have done in the past but what is done is done and now i have to move forward... into the future...of 2011.. hope its going to be a good year seriously.. i need all the luck i can get!!! .. and also to everyone.. i hope this year would be another great year for all of u and i wish u all the best of luck and also find enjoyment everyday!! :)

Singapore

 Singapore, went on Saturday with my parents to see the christmas lights.. awesome time.. saw alot of girls and basically alot of people.. for some of u that still dont know which is unlikely im single now and hunting HAHA.... ended with both sides agreeing to it.. still best friends tho.. but i still feel kinda weird talking to her.. so might just give excuses to avoid her awhile.

 Anywayz, back to Singapore, went to Orchard Road and this pic was taken in takashimaya i think.. cant believe how i miss christmas.. a definite holiday and also the fact where familys all get together to enjoy this moment and be happy about it. Decorations also are awesome where it gives u a sense of peace at least it does that for me.

 This were all taken from the car (very blurry) cause it was pretty late already and there was one more stop that i havent been to.... the Sands hotel and casino!!

 The Mall of Sands, most of the shops are not even open yet but there were all the branded goods from Gucci, Chanel, the works.. downside to it was there was still no place to hang out for coffee and dessert places.. at least open those first!!! a few hawker shops... so little choices.

 With utter dissapointment outside, my parents and i headed to the casino their main purpose actually.. haha ... The front is like immigration, they check ur passport and are more stringent compared to CROWN.

 Inside, should see the massive MARKET inside.. compared to CROWN... it looked more like a Massive stock exchange with thousands of people crowded and hogging every machine and table available.

 This was actually.. a roulette screen in front and hundreds of chairs with their own screens focusing on a little ball... it seriously looked more like people waiting for their passport or a computer science lecture with everybody looking at the ball to guess what number is going to hit. lolz

THis was just the ground floor there was another level and it really looked messy and more like a factory/sweatshop. MADNESS!!!!! but still awesome in a way cause its something different hahaha.. went back at 2am, and nearly got into an accident when i was about to reach my house cause the car from the opposite end actually went over the divider and got into the lane in front of us.. luckily it was a 2 lane highway so manage to swerve it but there was one more car in front of us that wasnt so lucky... it actually slammed into that car. All in all a crazy day but still fun to get away since coming back from Australia. Missing Australia now since here got no more purpose for me already...

Oh yah, just noticed that this past week i have a friend who has been acting weird.. dont know why, but he/she doesnt reply me on msn... Hope i didnt do anything wrong cause i really didnt mean any intention of saying/doing anything wrong.. but if i did.. so sorry....

random

OOOhhhhhh last few minutes before my last exam... hope it all goes well!!!... so many things happening before this...

dont know how to solve this.. started to not wear "my precious" anymore .. could it be the end?

mood is totally emo but hiding it

i wonder if i pissed off a girl just now, feel very bad for not really keeping a promise but had to catch up so can have fun together .... very sorry.. :(

DAMN emo...

GIRLS

Ever since i was young, i always had a trouble speaking to girls with ease besides my mum and obviously i still do now and i never really figured out why.... im kinda like im just like Rajesh Koothrappali from the big bang theory shy as a mouse when it comes to talking to girls. 

  I guess sometimes i feel i am just scared that i will scare away the girls i talk to or make them feel that i am flirting with them even tho i am not. The only girls i really feel safe and can be my funny self is when i am behind the laptop but in real life i cant act like myself in fact actually im quite quiet. I just dont understand why sometimes and i really hate it cause i cant act normal. Like for example, today just wanted to hug and console my friend who has have been problems but i just held myself back cause i THINK its wrong or just awkward and it will give people mix signals. Even last time when i just chat normally with girl - friends i will still have this little awkward moment and not be able to really be myself always look so serious and need friends to joke around before i even joke around... why!!! so sad..

 And i still wonder how i even got a gf.... so weird... maybe i just dont know what i am doing sometimes or maybe just luck? Hmm... Oh well... guess i still have lots of things to learn and change myself so i can be more brave and not scare girls!!! Anywayz exams are here and just want to wish everybody good luck with their exams and hope they are easy!!!

DREAMS

Just had an unforgettable dream lately!! It was awesome and after waking up my heart was actually beating so fast i think i could have had a heart attack. lolzz.. exaggerating too much,but sometimes i really wish those wishes would come true as especially if it could happen in the future. Have u all ever wanted some of those good dreams to really come true? 

 Couldnt really remember the dream exactly but i remember just meeting the girl i admired the most since my first year in uni and we did all the romantic stuff together and they were many obstacles holding us back from telling each other that we liked each other but i was the more shy one that did not want to even ask cause i knew that she did not like me, so i held myself back all the time.

 and then one day (it kinda skipped many events... lolz).. we went on a trip with other friends and all of us slept near each other as the room was small and there were alot of beds and after arranging, my bed was actually next to hers but still nothing happened we just joked around as usual until when it was time to go to bed, i felt nervous but a hand actually reached out and held my hand and our hands locked together and we stared at each other in the eyes and smiled at each other and then i woke up. LOLZ... it was really one of the best dreams that i have ever had although it might look like i watch alot of dramas but the feeling was soo real... just made me want to live in that fantasy forever away from all the troubles that this world has.. OH I WISH... sadly, i dont think it would ever happen... life is real and dreams would never come real.. especially the best ones... just can watch sunsets and always remember that amazing dream...... :)
