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.
