I received a text message from Mr G (see description of him from 2 posts ago)today and he congratulated me for my 1 week (= 7 days!)anniversary in the new place I am staying in (yeah, a bit strange but nice at the same time).
Woohoo! 7 days in my new place! But I haven't even spent much time here as I have been really blessed and been really busy meeting people and going to lotsa places.
Anyway, as a treat, I will treat y'all with 7(not-so-)interesting facts about me which are all from today, yes today, as in, of this day :-
1. My new favourite song is First Love by Utadu Hikaru - I uploaded it to my iTunes last night
2. I met an Irish guy today. He has nice blue eyes.
3. Someone complimented me on my accent "I love your accent!" - note : it was a girl
4. I bit my fingers repeatedly today to stop myself from cussing cos I was so annoyed about not being able to find a suitable ATM machine - it took me 30 minutes...I was ready to explode!
5. I received a wedding invite from someone I met in Australia!
6. I walked 20 minutes to the gym, in my gym gear, but in the end, I didn't even go in to do exercise cos I got hungry and went to the supermarket instead! haha!
7. I should be watching "This Is It" - the MJ film - right now with some friends, but I declined politely.
...And there you go...lucky number 7...one week down, 25 more weeks to go...

I Have A Secret
Everyone has secrets. Everyone!
It just depends whether they decide to share it with anyone.
And just imagine, if they shared that secret with someone...and then that someone shared it with another person and so on...
It wouldn't remain a secret anymore...
And so, I will be one of those annoying people who says, "I have a secret BUT I can't tell you!"
Don't get me wrong...I am a big blabbermouth and am dying to tell someone my secret...but it's just not the right time, not yet...too early...argh...!!! It's driving me up the wall though cos I need advice...
Can you guess what it is??
GUESS GUESS! Makes it more fun!!!

Chivalry
Sometimes I get really annoyed with girls. Girls who manipulate guys. Stupid guys. These girls know fine well that these boys will do anything and everything for them, but these girls will not be clear about where their friendship/relationship stands. And then, the girl will use and abuse the stupid guy till she finds a boyfriend and then, the stupid guy will be lonely again. Wake up stupid guys!!
On the other hand, I also get annoyed with guys. Non-committal guys. Guys who will date stupid girls who fall for their "I will always love you" line, but deep down inside, this guy knows fine well, he could never be with this stupid girl forever, but says these stupid corny crap cos stupid girls will fall for it, but runs at the sound of commitment. Wake up stupid girls!!
I like to give the "I am a manhater, not a maneater" vibe...but in fact, I like guys. Hanging out with guys is more fun than girls. And then, I also think guys like hanging out with me too......BUT...yep, there's a BIG but...
I have realised, in my story, that there are some guys who like to hang out with me cos they have a hidden agenda!!! Yes, they do. At first, they will be very nice and do all these nice things for you.
But when I make it LOUD & CLEAR (which is usually very blunt - I am what the Malaysians call "perasan"), e.g. "I ONLY like you as a friend; I will never ever fancy you...", there are 2 ways the guy reacts.
1. Still treat you as nice - either in hope, they will change your heart and win you over (it's a challenge) or that they are genuinely a nice guy (rare!)
2. Stop doing nice things and treat you like crap (very common - avoid these guys at all costs!)
I encounter a lot of the number 2's (PUN INTENDED!)
Anyway, I was reminded the other day of the word - chivalry - defined as respectful attention especially towards women
And guess what??? Since I started travelling in mid-July, I have met many new and colourful characters and then, I have met some chivalrous guys!!!
Obviously, I have met some nasty guys...nasty, nasty (I know who they are!)...but the chivalrous guys...wow...impressive!
I present to you the single guys who have made "The Chivalrous" list :-
Mr A
- The guy who sent me a facebook message, out of the blue, and described me as "stunning" even though when we spent time together, I had this ugly swollen eye thing going on and no make-up and geeky glasses look!!
- Chivalrous because he sees the beauty within
Mr B
- The guy who doesn't "allow" me to walk home by myself after a night out even though I live in the city centre and insists on driving me home
- Chivalrous because of his caring nature
Mr C
- The guy who initiates saying grace every time we eat together
- Chivalrous because he respects God
(- He also helped me when I was stuck in this social dilemma...but that's another story)
Mr D
- The guy who had a morning coffee waiting for me even though I already told him that I was gonna be late meeting him AND he opened car doors (we only got introduced the day before)
- Chivalrous because of his gentlemanly nature
Mr E
- The guy who has offered me unlimited Diet Coke (my favourite soft drink...shh!! bad for your teeth!!)
- Chivalrous because of his generosity
AND the non-single chivalrous guys :-
Mr F
- The guy who took care of everything AND carried my luggage when we went on a 24-hour trip together
- Chivalrous because of caring and gentlemanly nature
Mr G
- The guy who came over to help me move into my new room AND re-arranged furniture AND changed lightbulbs for me
- Chivalrous because of his helpful nature
In conclusion : Chivalry FTW!!!

SATC
So, I moved into this place in the city centre of Sydney! BEST location ever! Expensive too.
I have 2 male flatmates, 4 female flatmates and 5 chickens living in this house!! YES, for real!!
Anyway, so on my first day of moving in, I had my tv on (yes, I have a tv in my bedroom) really loudly, while I was vacuuming. I also have Foxtel - Aussie digital receiver box (yes, I know, digital tv!...and I also have a dvd player...yes, I know!)
Sex And The City the Movie was on in the background while I was vacuuming amongst all the mess.
I finished vacuuming and went downstairs to the kitchen to get a cloth and multipurpose spray. I was there for 5-10 minutes cos I met another flatmate and did a wee chit chat.
I come back upstairs but before I even open my door, I hear the loudest sex noises EVER!!!
Yes, the stupid movie had this bloody loud sex scene!!!!
My window was wide open and it is on the ground level where I HEAR people when they walk past so OBVIOUSLY they can hear what goes on in my room!!!
I frantically look for the remote control to turn down the volume. I scrambled through the mess and turned the tv off!!!!
Felt so embarrassed...
People who may have heard will either think :-
1. I'm a sex fiend!
or
2. I watch porn at LOUD VOLUMES!
It would be okay if I was a true SATC fan at heart...cos you know, I will sacrifice myself for SATC any day...but I don't give a damn about Sarah Jessica Parker and her friends!!!!
And now, guess what? The guy who lives directly below my room has been chatting me up!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Soon, Soon...
I am working on this crazy new project of mine; but getting easily distracted by lots of things - mainly, meeting new people and forming friendships.
It's really hard to get a balanced lifestyle.
My parents ask me constantly, "Have you got a job yet?" - and when they say job, they mean dentist job.
I don't REALLY want to get a job yet cos I need to spend time studying for this new project of mine.
But at the same time, I need the money.
Making friends require lots of money!!! Seriously, it's like a non-stop eating fest in Sydney. The food is bloomin' AMAZING!!!
Anyway, I think I need another couple of weeks before this project can be started.
Just wait for it...
I also got an idea for my book!! Woohoo!!

Dear Hater...
Although this blog is relatively new, I have been a blogger for over 5 years; writing and recording events of my life. My previous blog is in another location (if you're interested, private message me and I will send you the link)
Writing is a passion of mine. So my readership grew and grew...
People would send me messages encouraging me to blog and I received compliments, which made me well happy!!
So...imagine my surprise, when I received a message the other day saying my blog is "sh*t"
Yes, ladies and gentleman...I received a HATER message!!!
How can someone say my blog is "sh*t"? OK, people have different opinions and like different things, but "sh*t" is VERY EXTREME!
So here are the reasons why my blog is NOT "sh*t" :-
1. Whatever I blog has actually happened in real life! I have not made up any stories. Some stories sound far-fetched, e.g. previous blog talks about sexual harrassment, ditched by ex-fiance, etc etc BUT THEY ALL HAPPENED!!!
2. If I blog about someone, then any feelings I describe about them are true and what I PERSONALLY feel!
3. If I bitch about anyone in my blog, then please be assured, no names are revealed AND ALSO, whatever I say about them, I have already said it to their faces so I am not secretly bitching about anyone behind their backs!! SERIOUSLY I tell it as it is!!!
4. Hundreds of people have read my blogs...from all different countries...strangers and friends and family...but none of them have ever complained!!
LAST BUT NOT LEAST - If you think my blog is "sh*t", this is really simple - DON'T READ IT THEN DUMBO!!!! Jeeeeeeez...

Copycat
This is supposed to be a blog for my travels...but it has been really difficult to a) access internet and b) find time to blog...
I have always dreamt of publishing a novel...and I used to adore writing...writing short stories, writing in my personal diary and writing my previous blog...
So I gave up my job, started travelling and I have immense amounts of free time...but what happens?
The writer in me has died...
Nothing inspires me
Instead, I wanna take this time to bitch about N.
N and I became friends last year after he asked me out for a drink - yes, I know...desperate or what? Basically told him he wasn't my type, etc...so we became buddies.
I say BUDDY, but I think he was still hoping for some chance (NO WAY!)
Anyway, I made the mistake of telling him my plans to travel to Australia - cos he was supposed to go to Korea to teach English (he got the job etc)...
He cancelled the job and decided to LATCH onto me for my travelling plans...
We used to be able to have a good laugh, but after travelling together for a few days and being in each others' faces 24/7, you soon start to see what that person is really like.
Long story short - I think he's a total d*ck and he thinks I'm a total b*tch - it's okay, we tell each other constantly.
WHAT I REALLY HATE IS - People think we are a couple - so to avoid this problem, we are now "cousins" (he DOES call my mum Auntie so it's a half-truth)
When we arrived in Australia, I knew a few contacts so we started hanging out with them...but I left to go travelling back in Asia - Hong Kong / Taiwan / Korea - whereas N stayed on to start his life there.
I am now currently back in Australia - Sydney to be exact. And my word, N has started to do my head in AGAIN!
Why?
He is COPYING me! No, I AM SERIOUS!
Reasons why :-
1) New people always ask me why I am in Australia - so I USED to say that I was hoping to "settle in Australia" - N used this line too...(this is fine cos that may be true)
2) But now, I have changed my mind and started to say "I am here for 6 months to see what Oz has to offer me" and guess what? N has STARTED to say the same words too!!!
3) Also, when I first came back to Oz (for the 2nd time), I said I was not going to stay as I wanted to go teach English in a foreign country... the next day, N declares he is off to China to teach English!!!! WTF??!!!
4) I am flat-hunting at the moment and I went to Bondi Junction and fell in love with it. N is also looking to rent somewhere else as he wantED to be closer to the city. I would see flat ads near the city and send it to him, but he would say they were not within WALKING distance to the city... After I declared Bondi to be my dream flat place, N has been saying he wants to move to BONDI TOO!!!! Get lost!!
5) But then, I decided that I liked this place called Newtown cos it reminds me of Glasgow's West End. It is kinda near the city, but not within walking distance. Guess what? I just overhead N saying to his flatmate that he is looking for a flat in Newtown!!
6) Also, one more thing - N had been moaning about how he didnt want to hang around with the same Aussie people...anyway, I met them the other day and thought they were cool and told N. He then said, "Oh yeah, I'm glad I found them!"
COPYCAT???? Yes I seriously think so!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am seriously not going crazy...but he is starting to drive me crazy! WHY WONT HE STOP COPYING ME???
From now on, I intend to keep my mouth shut about any new plans I may have cos I want a NEW LIFE NOT WITH N lurking around...URGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
