There's always something you've got to give up, if you want everything you want

This is probably the truest thing I have heard. I do not know its origins neither have I bothered to research it because I Have been too busy packing and whatnot.

Anyway, I realised today when I had to take cat to the vet to get him desexed, that at the end of the day, there is aways something you've got to give up if you want everything you want. I want Bud to be with me in Malaysia, so I had to desex him, that meant going through what I find to be a horrific experience for him as well as me. I GET IT that he's going to be a calmer more affectionate cat but I can already see he has lost that THUGgish ruggishness about him.

UGH. Freaking feline overpopulation. Rudd will be a total arsehole if he decides to make it a law that all cats are desexed because you know what?! Now we suffer from OVERPOPLATION, but give it 20 years and people will be claiming that the feline species is close to extinction. I think that if people can believe that Jesus turned water to wine or bread or what not (basically magic; in which if the secret was found out, could lead to devastating outcomes, hence the famous magician quote "If i told you I'd have to kill you" ,which really makes you wonder what REALLY went down). Cats were MEANT to breed the way they do. Stop trying to play GOD will you?! It's proven to NOT Have worked.

EFF you desexation...now my kitty's got bebolagoreng.

I float like a butterfly but sting like a bee

So it has been a solid 5 years almost that I have been living in Sydney and this saga shall come to a temporary end in less than 4 days. My mind has been a boggle of activity and I'm not surprised that things haven't really set in yet. I guess part of the awesomeness of the situation is that I now have my residency so I can tell Malaysia to eff-off if things get to bad without the hassle of applying for a visa etc.

I must say, I am the most fickle of people. Prior to news of receiving my residency, I remember freaking out all the time at the thought of remaining in Sydney till whenever. Now, I am dreading what I wanted to much before! Sydney has been good to me. I have grown and developed as well as accomplished key objectives, that being a degree, and my residency. My luck that I found love along the way! So now I have it all....

I have met such strange, smart, interesting, beautiful, engaging, educational, inspiring and of course effed-up people in Australia it almost makes me cringe to think that I will now be amongst Malaysians!!! When I lived with Krystal (who is Canadian) we actually took a bike ride with Mark (my housemate/landlord) pub hopping for beers on afternoon/evening. How awesome that was!! Very random and not something Shalz does...but who can say no to Krystal?!?!?! I'm so glad I didn't because it was such a memorable day

When Krystal moved out we had Diane(Francais) move in and when she moved out, Lisa and her boyfriend Ryan moved in. Here's us at the swings doing what we do :)

I live in the coolest house with the coolest garage where everyone seems to float around instead of the very comfortable lounge room with it's sofas and such. Our common room, my refuge, the place where I started creating my designs.

THEN we have my brothers, who are both here in Sydney now who I will miss terribly much. I am such an emotional person and when my brother Sachin(left) left Sydney temporarily years ago I spent days locked up in my room on my bed crying. Now I am leaving, but it's okay because I will see them back in KL. Phew...

AHhhhh Epping Park and our sessions. Regardless of season or weather...buddies + scotch = Hallelujah! (It's times like this I'm glad Mum has yet to reach the stage of reading blogs and Dad, I'm sure your time in Colombo back in the day was spent doing very much the same thing :P

Glorious Sydney....where hired dancers can ACTUALLY dance and are ACTUALLY hot, not your average Chinese speaker dry-humper that you see at your average Malaysian club.

Sydney, where I met the hottest, hippest German gay man. Michael is such an amazing person. He carries himself in the most respectable way and it is SO attractive! He should be an ambassador for Gay rights man. He is the most demure and classy person I have met. Surprise surprise he is supremely Gay as well. Shows you huh...

Sydney is also the place where I met the BIGGEST slut-bag EVER, and believe me, i have seen some messed up chicks. This one takes the cake. Shocking because she gave me the impression she was this innocent Singhalese chick but in reality is an ass-ram-rodded-whore. Shows you la! Just because you look innocent and come from Sri Lanka does NOT mean you are in ANY way a prude.

Funny these two look like the best of friends because the guy on the left is probably the Grossest person I've had to live with. During my first 2 years in Sydney, I stayed in university off-campus accomodation and this guy moved in from France and used to like to cook his meals in the kitchen in his tight underwear. See the size of the dude? There is something extremely repulsive about walking into the kitchen to make your morning coffee only to see Adrien cooking sausages in his underwear. WTF right?! I tell you, one day, I was leaving my apartment in the morning only to find that Adrien, in his drunken state the night before, decided to drag his mattress OUTSIDE the apartment and lie it down right at the door outside the apartment. I found him sleeping on the mattress at the ENTRANCE of our apartment OUTSIDE sleeping with his eye covers in his underwear. *sigh* drama drama drama..

I loved Macquarie University's campus. It is stunning. So green and beautiful...

I've never been a fan of greenery or anything but there's something soothing about seeing so much of green at an educational institution.

Still, I remember rolling on this grass and enjoying it immensely :)

Sydney is however, home to some pretty freaking huge spiders. One of these bad boys showed up in my bathroom the other day. I spent 15 minutes with a broom before I managed to get it out.


Sydney!!! Where the grass is green and Bud baby chills

Sydney has defined, clarified and made me....It's not an easy task accomplishing what I did, alone for the most part at the end, but I did it, and now I am done...

I have to return back home to get the experience necessary to make me more of use to Australia...and then, I will be back.

Our Prime Minister

At this year's National Integrity Convention, our Prime Minister Badawi made a very commendable appearance. I mean, he did promise alot of change and years after his guiding us, I guess we are nowhere worse off than we were before.

In any case, we are allowed to marvel at his idiotic behaviour. I mean, honestly, I think the man looks abit stupid to begin with. He just doesn't seem to be able to live up to Mahatir at least in the looks and personality department.

Anyway, I was just totally amused at these pictures snapped of OUR PRIME MINISTER...VERY VERY VERY DEEP IN THOUGHT...during a PUBLIC CONVENTION....where there would be photographers and hundreds of guests all in plain sight.

Really think he's deeply pondering the issue at hand? Think again...or rather look closer beeyotches....

Yup...the man is SLEEPING. THE MAN...IS PASSED OUT!!!

IN case you needed further reassurance that the Prime Minister of Malaysia was passed out during an Integrity Convention....

At least the man woke up at some point...

Only to fall back into a blissful slumber several minutes later.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! At a point in time when we see a man like Obama take center stage in the US, it really makes you want to stab yourself in the heart when you see dumkunts like this taking charge of our glorious nation.

Obama looks like the missing link from Men In Black. Badawi looks like a reject from a bad Malay version of Harry Potter. It's times like this that I count my lucky stars and consider myself blessed that Malaysia is a weak nation compared to the US and actually relish in the fact that almost everything revolves around the US.

We're screwed

Tokin Bone

So needless to say Bone Thugs were AWESOME at the concert. They started first...well they came after the local acts but who really pays attention to who those even were. So though Snoop had to refrain from pullin out a spliff on stage probably due to his tight visa conditions but that didn't stop the rest of the performers. Alcohol out of blue plastic cups, Layzie Krayzie and Wish put on an awesome show though with the least set up. Had to wait a solid 40 minutes for Snoop to get his arse on stage though. Prolly busy getting his smoke and drink on backstage, OR smoking with Cube, as the DJ (that reminded me of Prabhu oddly enough) kept saying as if it was supposed to make us at ease with the wait. Anyway, Ice Cube was amazing but Bone really did it for me that night. Ghetto and fabulous.

Our Messiah

So Congratu-fudging-lations Mr Obama, and let us hail the new president of the United States. Amazing that 8 years ago the same people voted for Bush to be president. The first African American president, our messiah.

Honestly, this is all not even shocking to me. It was almost a given that Obama would win. Mc Cain and Pailin were a joke really. I'd start hating the US immediately if they won, blaming the whole nation for the portion that won and made them president and VP. It was always Obama...I knew that the day Oprah pledged her support to him. I said "Hmm...Oprah is always right"

They have always spoken of a messiah that lives amongst us, and Obama may just be that man. He is bringing a new hope not just to the US, but to the rest of the world with his stepping in. This man will now have the weight of the world on his shoulders and it will be very interesting to see how his plans unravel throughout his course of presidency.

AND...I suggest a bullet-proof "Obama-mobile" quite like what the Pope uses on his visits to be constructed and completed before Obama and Biden swear into their positions in January 2009.

This man is going to give us as much and if not, then more than the Pope possibly could, and several death threats have already been made towards the guy. GIVE HIM SECURITY!!!

I have only sincere thanks to the people of the United States. I have to say that they have given back some credibility to themselves...to me that is. So far we have only them to blame for wars (*cough* Haliburton *cough) and our markets crumbling(*cough*dodgy financial instruments *cough*). REPENT biznitches!

And for all the rednecks out there...YOUR PRESIDENT IS A BLACK DUDE!!

I shall leave this post, with a scary thought...that having Obama as the US president and him being black, that this may actually bring up new issues with the US. However on a funny flip, it turns out that having a Black President ...makes them racialists uber happy because they want to put on their white suits and get their freak on!!

"Klu Klux Klan leader David Duke predicts that a black president could advance white civil rights. as whites would be inspired to rise up and begin what he calls a long overdue revolution. About 200,000 Americans are thought to be members of white supremacy groups." www.citizensugar.com

The 4 Year Old McDonalds Burger

So, I was online today and I was chatting to my brother and he gave me this link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IGtDPG4UfI

Basically it's about a four year old McDonalds burger that this lady has for some reason decided to keep in a lunchbox and carry around with her. She's obviously studying something and I didn't do any investigating into who she is or what she does, but the clip is an excerpt from some shot on Diet.com.

I do not diet, don't know anyone that does, so needless to say, I my interest stopped at the clip.

It IS interesting though. Basically, it shows that a McDonalds cheeseburger, kept just as it was bought in a lunchbox (no shrink wrap, no preservatives added, etc) after four years, has NO mold, NO rot and looks almost like the real thing. Except that it is rock hard.

This lady has 4 year old frenchfries for God's sake! And yes, these fries too scarily look exactly like the fresh thing. I really wanted to feel it myself. Apparently the grease and oil is retained over those years!

F**K! What the HELL does this mean? I do not usually eat fries, and oddly enough, today I got the Hot Ogalo MEAL instead of just the burger. Hmmmmmmmm

Just another shitty little thing about the world that we just will never know the real truth about huh?

Deepavali: What happens when you are left astray in a foreign country with culture that can be confined to sand and surf

Deepavali, or Divali, (Markiscarali) is a major Indian festival, and a significant festival in Hinduism, Sikhism and Jainism. Many legends are associated with Diwali. Today it is celebrated by Hindus, Jains and Sikhs across the globe as the "Festival of Lights," where the lights or lamps signify victory of good over the evil within every human being. The festival is also celebrated by Buddhists of Nepal, particularly the Newar Buddhists. Hindus tend to treat and celebrate Diwali as Christians treat and celebrate Christmas. In many parts of India, it is the homecoming of King Rama of Ayodhya after a 14-year exile in the forest. The people of Ayodhya (the capital of his kingdom) welcomed Rama by lighting rows (avali) of lamps (deepa), thus its name, Deepavali. This word, in due course, became Diwali in Hindi. But, in South Indian languages, the word did not undergo any change, and hence the festival is called Deepavali in southern India. South India celebrates it as Light of Lamps that fills the dark New Moon day(Deepavoli: Deepam=Lamp, Oli=Light(Tamil)). It is also marked in parts of Southern India as the day Lord Krishna defeated the demon Narakasura. Diwali is celebrated on the first day of the lunar Kartika month, which comes in the month of October or November.

I am Hindu, though not a very devoted one. I was born Hindu, and my family practiced the basic customs I suppose, new clothes for Deepavali, lucky colour for the day, and usually a family get-to-gether to cap it all off. I never treasured this much I must say, when I was young. I mean sure, it was great that we got to get new clothes, but since I was quite the tomboy back in the day living in Malaysia, it usually meant mum trying to get me into a skirt or a dress of some sort to be paraded in front of family.

Mum would always do her sambrani thing on Fridays and I love/miss the smell. I miss the dab of thinnuru on my forehead after mum or grandma's done praying. When Thaipusam rolled around, there would be the lure of Batu Caves and I even recall the charriot coming past our house in ss2. I remember because the indian boys from school followed the charriot and discovered where I lived. Yes....

I've been in Sydney now 5 years. I guess it has always been a question in my mind .... to make a life in Sydney or to "continue" my life in Malaysia. For everyone back home, the answer is obvious, that I should stay as far away from KL as I can. The only benefit is salary I think...so working in Australia would pay you more, but you also have to spend alot more to live, so even that evens itself out. The quality of life here is very "rich". People live their lives but you need money to live it out decently. There are great activities to do, but I guess it's the asian culture that I miss. I miss sitting at the mamak and being able to sit and eat till any hour without the pressure to clear the table. Hahah. I miss cheap food, and good fun. Tacky lights and plastic chairs,

I LOVE Malaysia, and I would take offense if someone decided to go on a "I hate Malaysia" rant. It's okay if a Malaysian bitches about it because we are Malaysian and Malaysia boleh so it's like our "right". Mostly because I think your arguement has to be legit if you want to talk to me about how shit my country is. In most cases, you'd have to have lived in Malaysia for awhile to even BEGIN to "GET IT".

I think if you live in Malaysia your whole life, without ever being able to live or experience otherwise, you end up wanting to run away from it. If you have had the chance to see how other parts of the world operate, I think you end up wanting to go back to Malaysia. I dont know, it happens differently for everyone I guess. Our country is complex, and downright sexy.

Anyway, needless to say, if I was in Malaysia now, I'd have indulged in a very hectic foodfest this weekend and today. :) I want my muruku and kesari and sweets and food food glorious food! All I can do now is wait for mum to get on Skype and hear about all the amazing things she made and then ate, and if didn't eat then saw. *sigh*

Happy Deepavali to me then ey?! Yayyyyyyy

Singh is King: SNOOP, yes, D-O double G

So, I had heard that Snoop had gone and gotten himself into some Bollywood stint awhile ago. I believe this was around the time that I had found out that Snoop was actually touring around Australia and that he would be in Sydney for a concert. To be honest, it doesn't really excite me much that Snoop's going to be there but Bone Thugs have got me pretty hyped.

Since I really don't care much for what happens with Snoop, I thought I'd go ahead and do some investigation into his indian venture. Don't get me wrong I love Snoop but I really do not like the fact that he's gone and done it.

I shall not go further untill I get through the lyrics for this song because I believe it all starts there, as in all my questions about the reason behind it were answered ....starting HERE:

Yo, what up this big snoop dog,

Represent the Punjabi,

Aye ya,

Hit’em with this
RDB, DPGC

Akshay and Snoop D O double G..G

Oh yeah, singh is king, this is the thing,

Yeah, Im just a king,

Sitting on my throne all alone,

Can you dig what I’m saying?

Bring me some grapes over here babe,

Singh is king ,

And snoop DO double G is also the king,

You dig what I mean?

I have seen the video, and put it this way, if you are not a fan of Bhangra, AND a fan of snoop, it might kill you. As with the lyrics, basically, the bits in red are the parts that I absolutely hate and the rest of it is in Hindi so I dont get it anyway, but I am looking at this from a Snoop p.o.v yeah. Only fair since I dont really watch Hindi movies(except for when I was back in KL because they play it on tv with Malay subs), dont speak or understand it and do not listen to Bhangra. I also do not listen to Heavy Metal. That's just me.

For the love of God, what is UP with the wad up wad up stick it stick it?! This is NOT acceptable ...NOT from CALVIN BROADUS.

WHAT HAPPENED?! What happened to the good old days of hanging out sippin on gin n juice.
*sigh*




Okay so I have always found ways to argue things to myself for the sake of my own inner peace. And this time, I have decided that Snoop did it for the money. I mean who wouldn't? He would have really been treated like a king, been entertained by lots of gorgeous Punjabi chicks, all that and a paycheck at the end. And for what work at the end? To rock up and spit out that crap?! I mean, Warren G DID do a track with TOO PHAT. And we all know their aunt had fame and I think they came from a pretty wealthy family so they paid him to do like, a specific number of verses, and he didn't even come down to KL to record it. These idiots actually flew their crew to the states to film. OF COURSE LAAAH got chance to with mister G mah down at the long beach...u kno.....like that la.

SO SNOOP...you are indeed a wise businessman. You're diversifying yourself, trying to penetrate different markets. I get it....will never even download an illegal copy of it off the internet so you can guarantee I won't be guilty of copyright infringement :D I'm all for celebrities and their obscene wealth.

RETARDATION to the MAX! Shah Rukh's a Datuk and Beyonce can't perform in KL?!

"Ah nothing like the wind against your bare nipples"

" Ooh look at my sexy pelvic vein...want to lick the sweat off my chin? "

"I could be your ONLY dreamlover ;)"

KUALA LUMPUR: Bollywood idol Shah Rukh Khan will now flaunt the prefix 'Datuk', a traditional title conferred by the Malaysian royalty and akin to the British knighthood.
The Indian heartthrob will receive his Datukship from the Malacca head, Tun Mohd Khalil Yaakob later on Saturday.
He has been listed as an artiste from Dreamz Unlimited, his filmmaking company, in the list of recipients. Shah Rukh will receive the Darjah Mulia Seri Melaka (DMSM), the third highest title.
He is among 77 recipients of the title.
Khan, 43, is a highly acclaimed Indian actor who works in Bollywood films, as well as a film producer and television host.

___________________________________________________________________

Tell me guys....do the pictures above in ANY WAY show a person deemed "DECENT" by our wonderfully Malaysian standards?

The Guy is shirtless half the time, the rest of the time alternating between pelvic thrusting and jumping around like a nutcase singing with glee. If not that, then he's beating a bunch of men up.

I am SO confused...artists such as Avril Lavigne and Beyonce Knowles aren't allowed to perform because of their sultry outfits and just because of the hyper-activity that apparently goes on with these concerts.

F**K all these double standards. Then you go and give a punkpunde like Khan here titleship in Malaysia all because he literally SHOOK HIS ASS around during a video IN WHICH HE DIDNT EVEN SING IN! I mean, he LIP SYNCHED around Taman Gajah for five minutes, so he deserves this title??

I swear, you get more posts of this freak shirtless if you google "Shahrukh shirtless" and you dont even get one of Beyonce if you google "Beyonce shirtless" What the hell kind of message are these older assholes sitting as position of power sending off to the rest of the world about Malaysia?

We need to slowly shoot dead all the wrinkly farts sitting on their inflated prostates and fake book of bullshit guidance and replace it all....

TIME TO CLEAN THE F*****G SLATE guys not add dumkunts to our list of already huge dumkunts

Cookie

So my little sister/only sister comes in the form of an African Grey parrot Cookie. This addition to our family came when we were living in Hong Kong in 2001 and my brother Sachin managed to convince my mother to let a pet parrot into the household.

See, the odd thing with my family is that they are a huge fan of "odd" pets. I mean, I remember begging for a dog for years when I was younger...but NOOOoooo..I was never responsible enough to have a dog or a cat, so I tried desperately to flag down strays but they were always flea infested and that is never a good thing. Anyway, prior to Cookie, we had been through turtles and parakeets, as well as a stray dog we tried to keep that we named Spike and a stray cat that I found named Pussy. I know...IT scratched me one day and I never saw it again....

Anyway, so now we are into our like what...7th year with Cookie, and she is a NUT. I mean, this bird is so unbelievably human-like it's crazy. She eats what we eat, does what we do, and my mother gets on Skype and makes us talk to her! I mean....*sigh* I'm not really sure what it is but that bird has got us hooked :) She still kinda has this thing with me...I personally think because I'm the "other daughter" and whenever I'm back home mum is always too busy with me to give her the attention she normally gets.

In any case....I guess I love her....all I know is a world without Cookie is something I can NOT imagine!

MAX PAYNE Oct 16th 2008

Max Payne in the cinemas. Just when you thought nothing would beat Sin City....nyeh heh heh. I must say, I haven't been this excited since Transformers came out and probably wont be untill the next Transformers comes out, with the exception of Max Payne.


There IS a higher power because Mark Wahlberg is Max Payne. He is mucho the hotness and I'm lovin it.

Don't want to bring the hype up too much JUST IN CASE the movie is a huge let down. Well, I dont know what would be a letdown in watching Wahlberg on screen for a coupla hours, especially if he sheds pieces of clothing. :)

What about that tatt??

Tattoo time: Thambi has one, mum has one, everyone seems to have if not want or plans to get one. This time, I'm doin it.

I am an extreme procrastinator. This tattoo idea has been lingering for ages but I only decided to sit down and design myself my tattoo yesterday, since I'm supposed to get it done today. Part of the reason why I'm up so early in anticipation. My stomach is already doing the butterfly jiggy and 2.30 is hours away!

So I'm just gonna pop the pics up and I'll see tonight if it has materialized. Another step to ensure that I do in fact GET IT....today.... :)
