2008....with Jett

2008 means a lot to me. It has mature and changed the way I think about life....love...family and friends. I am 30 years old in 2008. I am still living in Melbourne. I am not planning to leave this city for awhile, although sometimes I do feel like I want to go back to my hometown.

2008 - Career. I am now working for Hutchison for 3 years. Geez....something that I thought at first only a casual job while doing my master degree, I am still here. Not that I ultimately love what I am doing... I am just thankful. That I have a job that pays the bill. I know that's real sad. But I am tired of chasing dreams. I want to just be able to lay down...have some cash to spend...and time to be with people I loved... life is too short. I want to live it the way I want it to be.  So...2009? I may look for something new... but on my terms...and time.

2008 - Friends. I have lots and lots of them. and love each and everyone. I may have lost one....( but she'll survive ).... but I have found 4 new ones.. :) I think at this time... I am very thankful that I am surrounded by amazing friends. On my 30th... it was unforgettable. I never imagined that I have so much love from all of them. My friends from KL, Sydney and Melbourne are with me....Thank you so much for making my 2008 so beautiful.

2008- Family. Its amazing the impact that they have on me this year. I missed them every night. Sometimes I cried alone..when I think of mum and dad, my two sisters, my brother...and my nanna. I sometimes have visions that one day...I will lose my nanna...and I travel back home as fast as I could...but its too late. I think the older you get...the more you want to be close to your family. But my life is here. I chose to be here. When I got home this year, I normally get bored only within 4-5 days....but this year... I could stay a month....and I even cried when I left Johor Bahru Airport that day.... One day I'll be back....in my own time....

2008 - Love. Declan... I have found someone that I can spend the rest of my life with....and that's you. The 1st time we met, I thought this is not going to work. Honestly... after being dumped, repeatedly and what Kenny have done to me...I have shut myself completely to love another man. Gradually I build myself to trust you, to love you and no matter what I did...or said....you always with me. You're there when I needed someone. You are my partner....and my best friend. I know that 2009 will only make our relationship stronger.

2009 - Me.... I want a better me. I want to love more and live my life to the fullest. I want to wake up every morning and ready know that I will gave my best today..... laughs, live and love. :7*

         ......Goodbye 08...I will never see u again......

                   .....But I'll remember you.....

                  ...Oh.. Merry Xmas from us....

Merry Xmas

Hari Raya at Home

Its been more than a month since Aidilfitri... I flew home to be with my family :). So glad to be with mom and dad again... the fresh air at kampung... my siblings and relatives keep asking me about marriage...since i am turning 30 this year...gosh... I guess I have to be quiet....unless they really reallly wanted to know...

I love my family.... no matter what... if they wont accept me as I am.... i will be devastated....i will cry for days.... but I wont lie to them who i am....i will give them space... time to think and accept who I am.... and when they realized that I am the same me... hopefully they will understand.....

I saw this link on my last entry about forwarding this blog to JPM...etc.... I don't understand what is that all about. But if someone out there that accidentally read my blog and felt threaten or felt obliged to correct my lifestyle... then forget it... maybe they should try sponsoring a child, or helping the poor people with their energy. It will be more meaningful to life...

Oh... Hari raya has always been and opportunity to catch up with everyone. I didn't went home last year...so this year I took the opportunity to see everyone. To all ....

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri...Maaf Zahir & Batin

love...Jettstar

Now I am back... so many stories to share... from Hari Raya to my 30th birthday celebration on 26th.... stay tuned....

Love...Loving...loved... Jettstar

سورة الفاتحة

"We are from Allah and to him we are returning."

I received a text from my best friend, Sha from KL of her beloved mother passing on Wednesday. Allahyarham was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer last year and her health has been declined eversince.

To Sha... I never seen anyone so strong as you are. Semoga Rohnya ditempatkan bersama sama orang orang yang beramal soleh. InsyaAllah...

New Destination

Air Asia have launched Kuala Lumpur-Melbourne route. Very exciting and me and hunnybear booked our trip to KL again in February... Yay!!! So there you go! Another trip home after my soon to come september trip...

*guess too many destination makes AirAsia goes a bit dizzy.. hehehe...

My Olympiad

Everyone must have seen the spectacular Beijing Olympic Opening and Closing ceremony. China have opened the world eye and deserved a standing ovation for making the 2008 Olympic a mind blowing event. From the architecture of the birdnest stadium, the water cube, to the performance for both the unforgettable event, they are a strong nation... a leader and I have never seen anything like it before.

Australian athletes has done us proud. In 6th place with 46 medals, 14 gold, 15 silver and 17 Bronze all together... some shined more than others especially in un-expected events.

My Olympiad for 2008 is Matthew Mitcham, the Aussie who gatecrashed China's party. Not only he won the Gold medal for 10m Diving, scored perfect 10, very cute....and openly gay. So he ticked all my score boxes. Another perfect 10!

 

Ex-Phobia

I am not great with my ex's... in fact I have 4 of them and none remains friends. Don't get me wrong...I don't hold grudge or hate them... I wish them good luck in finding happiness always, but just not with me. Once you're out of the picture...you simply never exist in my phonebook.

Its 2am last night, inside the ever thumping gay club, The Market. I was standing overlooking the dancefloor from the second level, while enjoying my vodka lemon lime...suddenly an image appear right in front of my eyes.... the image I had deleted 4 years ago. My Ex...Kenny.

Now if that happened 4 years back... I would be jumping in joy, hugging and kissing this retard...but last night my feeling was empty. No hatred...No revenge...Not a thing.

He walked and said Hi... smiled...asking how am I doing. I'm speechless. My mind was thinking...."What was I thinking 4 years back??... I quit my job in ASTRO (my dream job), left my family and friends in KL...moved to Melbourne...to an unfamiliar ground...spending hundreds of thousands of my parents money... why?.. to get his LOVE back?... this scrawny prick with Chinatown hairdo boy???? Its a terrible reaction I know... and looking at him standing in front of me as if he wanting to say " Hi..I'm Kenny...Lets be friends again"... It makes me sick to my stomach...

Maybe some people may forgive and forget. Some even can be best of mates...but still...not me... I gave him a cold glance, and I walked away.... No goodbyes...just a smile and "FUCK YOU" playing in my head. At least you're the one with a bad haircut mister!

Adios Amigos....

Taste of Melbourne

Yeah... Today we went up to Taste of Melbourne at The Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton. As always Hunnybear bought us the tickets. Taste is different from other food festivals that I've been to...believe me..they are heaps of them. Taste is more upmarket, people dress up, exquisite restaurateur selections like Jacques Reymond, The Stokehouse, Circa, the Prince, The Botanical, The Court House, Grossi Florentino, Longrain, The Press Club, Nobu, Fifteen and Verge are there.

 

We tram our way to CBD from our apartment, Mark dressed up in white jacket and tight jeans....he can barely sit with his jeans..hehe..it was funny but he insisted

"Maybe I cant walk or sit...but My God I'm Gooorrgeousss!!"

Haha... He did look very good in white, and not many can carry white wardrobe. Peter wore a very nice fluffy scarf and Hunnybear wore a very nice and smart blue Spud shirt ( Peter's design)....

The Royal Exhibition building is very grande. I love the paintings on the roof and how regal the decorations inside the building. Our 1st stop is to get coffees. Mark and Pete decided to have rose from Domaine Chandon. We started with tasting the cheese and chutneys. Moving on to chocolates and other savoury stuff.

Our favourite dish is lamb souvlaki from George Calombaris The Press Club ( he was there...as the photo of course)...We had the Beef Capanade from the CourtHouse was sensational.  However I didn't enjoyed the Beef Tataki from Nobu. 

Our favourite restaurant, Three One Two also have a booth there. We had Apple Confit with Burnt Caramel Creme. A delish dessert. The Dessert Chef from Press Club served us Frozen EggWhite, Lime and Cream that has been cooked in Liquid Nitrogen... its very strange and left a tingly feeling to your tongue....

after a busy eating and tasting, we adjourned our culinary adventure to Madame Brussels, a very chic bar in Melbourne's Bourke Street. The bar is very simple and kitsch. We sat at the outdoor terrace overlooking Melbourne superb cityscape. The Bar look like Alice In Wonderland...with fake grass and hedges. 

 

The owner of Madame Brussels was there, she is very friendly and chatty, saying hi and goodbye when we left. The bar staff are also very friendly there. Hunnybear didn't bring his sunnies...hehe.. I did the I Told You So dance as we're sitting outside in the winter sun... I borrowed him my Dita...for 5 minutes of course!!! LOL...

What can I say... Fabulous Food, Festive Friends and Fun Times.... Now lets do it again...I Love Melbourne!!!!!

Alive and Kicking

Yes uolls..I am still alive and kicking...I wanted to blog but my mind cant think of a topic...too much things happened these few weeks....so little time to write. I am nonetheless been awfully busy with work at the moment. We have launched the new Point Of Sale system at work. I have to work like normal people now... extra hard..no more goofing around.

Well, these few weeks me and decky has been shopping a lot. Since he got his 30% pay increase last month...Almost every weekend has been spent in Chapel Street, eating and shopping simultaneously

"Congrats for your new fat paycheck! sweetie" 

We bought new Vera Wang Champagne flutes from Chaddy... Funny, the old lady that works as the promoter there were extra friendly she nearly knocked down all the other expensive glassware. Pheww....lucky she didn't break anything.....

I also got myself a new Nintendo DS Lite in Crimson Red!....I am not a big gamer but this game console plays cute and funny games... plus..it will become handy when I'm travelling back home to KL in Air Asia.... 8 hours in budget airlines with no TV!!!! So I travel prepared...either more games or sleeping pills....

The last time I bought myself something extravagant is my iPhone.... Its nice but not fashionable. I need something out there...and I know what I need... DITA Sunglasses. Yeshhhh!!! I soooo wanted these wicked pair of sunnies.... I begged Adrian and Jo (they're still in States at this moment) to find me a pair as in Australia it retail at $400.00. They called Decky and told me that the price over there are the same! Bummer!!! I knew I couldn't afford $400! But then last week Decky told me he saw a warehouse sale for DITA sunnies!!!! I was ecstatic!!! At 9.45am...we already in front of the warehouse... I saw mostly womens collections...I felt cheated...then there is the sign

"If You Want Anything That Is Not On Display But In Catalogue Let Us Know"

OMG!! I asked for the Dita Cruz in Black and 14k Gold...but they dont have them... Damnit!! Then the lady took out a Targa... I tried it...love it bought it! I got it for only $240!!!...Lucky I didn't bought it from Chaddy for $400 the previous week cos the bitch wont even give me 10% discount! Haha... Lucky Me...

Saturday morning, we meet up with Isabella and Mark at Oriental Tea House for yumcha...Enjoying the beautiful winter sunny day.....enough shopping for now...at least. I am still eyeing that FENDI wallet from Bluefly.com for $179.00...

Shalt I Commit Another Sin???

Pro and CONS!!!

Hmmm.... now its been a week since I've used the so over-hyped iPhone... Really.. I got them more cos I'm curious about this device...so call the BEST PHONE IN THE WORLD!... Here are my findings

PRO :)

1) Its has a massive screen...streaming YouTube on a mobile phone never looked so crystal clear...

2) My Gmail on the go! Loving it how I can easily look up my mail..open PDF files and scroll thru my plane tickets on the screen.

3) Easy connected to WIFI...it automatically connects to my wifi at home once i step in my door.

4) Great pic quality for 2Mp...yeah...and I can blog it straight away!

5) Can add up applications, the possibility is endless as long as I prepare to spend some money on iTunes...

6) I have my ipod, camera, phone, calendar, gps in one handy device.

7) SMS function that looks like balloons, love it cos I can track sms from one person to another....very smart.

8) Zoom in and zoom out screen very accurately. I can zoom in almost everything..from pictures to websites...can copy a photo from web directly to the phone.

9) Maps, Safari and Geotagging works amazingly together... looking for a restaurant? just google the name, find it and then the Google Maps will pin it for you...and find u the way!

10) Software update and back up phone data really easy as it sync with iTunes almost everytime you plug in.

 

Now the CONS :(

1) Cant sms while walking cos its really hard to hit the correct keys...to Eddie..yes..this one cant sms while driving either!!

2) Too many tap functions..sometimes it took me awhile to work out how to key in new things..e.g budgets and stuff.

3) Keeps on saying "Network Lost" on my 3 network...needs to configure manually to go Roaming and will take ages to search for network. The signal strength is sooooo poor that its keeps on lost in space....

4) Ring volume not loud enuff, 1 small speaker only. What a shame..and since Ringtones can only be purchased via iTunes and Australian version dont have any yet, I'm stuck with the shit standard ones.

5)  Bluetooth doesn't wanna talk to anything else! can't transfer files or photos taken from the phone to anyone..Can only receive things via iTunes ( this is a big bummer for me)

6) Freezes on me twice this week...luckily we can RESTORE phone via iTunes but then have to spend 30mins transferring all the shit back to the phone. Waste of Time

7) Big...yeah..I love motorola v9 cos its slim and sexy...now I'm carrying a Flat Screen TV...oh and its glossy finish attracts fingerprints and scratches...I hate casings...and I rarely drop my phones.

8) No streaming or downloading iTunes on the go!...WTF?? Just YouTube works...I cant access Mobile TV from Planet3...the only thing I can do is check my account usage and some other limited functions. So whats the use of having 2Gb download from my plan anyway?? damnit!!!

9) cant be used as a MODEM...Means when I am back in KL..I have to bring my keycard or Nokia N95 8Gb to be used as a modem... HMm...back to Nokia.. the faithful one...

10) I have to be a Vodafone customer for 4 months!!!! Yikesssss!!!

Hmm.. thats what I can find...will update with more goss and gross abt this phone.... ciaoooo!!

***Techy Jett****

Rectangled...iPhone

Yes.. we had been defeated and succumb to the rectangular gadget called the iPhone. We were at Myers in Chadstone, yes... out in the suburbia when we saw this huge poster outside Myer

"iPhone Available In Store"

and we decided to give the sacred iPhone a visit. Being at Vodafone asking about the services and product...I almost felt guilty of having an affair from my relationship with 3!...haha...

The guy at the Vodafone dealership wasn't very approachable at first but after a few questions he gets into it and started asking if we wanted to sign up today.

Dealer : So are you guys looking to get one today?

Me : Errr....we're actually wanted to get 2... Hows the contract and cancellations?

Dealer: Who are u with atm?

Me : Oh...we're with 3!... Still on a contract and will probably sign up for a new number...

Dealer : Oh..yeah..3 are horrible...yada..yada..yada...

Hmmm.....If he only knew he had lost the sale for bagging my company....hehe.. We decided to think about it...

Plan... Sign up with Voda on $69 cap contract for 24 months...iPhone installment for $7 per month... unlock iphone for $75..... cancel the contract next month....

$34.50 + 7.00 x 23months = $954.50 hmm....

Then we went to Vodafone outlet in Chapel St instead

signed on the contract for $49cap...$10 instalments for 24 months.... so..it worked out

$24.5 + 10.00 x 23months = $793.00!!! Thats cheaper than the iPhone outright on ebay!!! Yayyyy!!!!  

Belon Belon

Hmm... keles sangat kan nama tuh...Belon-Belon....Actually its about last tuesday when I took Veuve to Fawkner Park before I went to POS training in the city.<------- VICTIM  

Its like everyday cold winter morning. When we reached the park, I saw 2 huge air balloons floating above the footie field. Suddenly one of the Hot Air Balloon tried to land near Veuve whois busy doing no.2 ...hahaha

 

Poor puppy was scared shitless...cant move cos he's still doing his unfinished business...as the huge balloon emerged closer and closer. Veuve start barking and running away back to the apartment... I panicked...between picking up his dropping or chasing him before he reached the busy Commercial Road...

I shouted!!!! Stay!!! He keeps barking and running further...He then stopped... Phew...I had to calm him down and put the lead back on him....

Silly puppy...scared of hot air balloon...another tick on the Veuve Phobia Handbook!! 

It's Raining Again

 

Eat More....

Yeah it has been really cold winter...this week at night will be as low as 3*c... I never recall the last time I have to wear gloves out but now I have been wearing my warm mitts for several times.

Our schedule has been busy this week. Started from Tuesday night, Jo and Adrian took me and Dex to Giuseppe, Arnaldo & Sons, an amazing Italian restaurant at Crown Casino in Southbanks. Amazing not just for the food, but the service and the ambiance. The finest Italian experience in Melbourne...and more upmarket then Lygon Street ( little italy).

As always, dinner with the Beattys always "happening" and spectacular. A bottle of Moet..a nice white and finished with moscato.... I did went overboard with grog these few weeks. Too much reasons and excuses to celebrate and drink I supposed.

After dinner the for musketeers went up to the casino. I have never been to Crown Casino ever. I never liked gambling, I think its a waste of $$....no one that I know ever become rich from gambling... but hey... since I'm not in Genting Highlands...( I'm not allowed to enter the casino in Genting Highlands....) I might as well have a look. Adrian played Blackjack and I ended up winning $3 in the pokies machine! hahaha.... I am sooo lucky!!! NOt...

Last night...we went out again for dinner. This time to catch up with Emma at Soul Mamas in St Kilda Sea Baths. No alcohol which I made it really clear. My liver needs a rest. Soul Mamas serve beautiful vegetarian dishes... everything from Malay Tempe ( I ordered those but cant taste the tempes) to green salads. They serve their foods either in a silver tray like the indian restaurants or a massive bowl. I opted out for a bowl that is $16 for basmati rice and 4 dishes. We had Vanilla tea.. Its nice to see Emma again, she has been very busy with work and stressed out. Poor Em... Glad its the weekend now.

LV- Damier Graphite

Wahhh......found this in Details Mags.. This gray and black checkered collection was launched early this year... made it to Paris last winter collection....

Collections of messenger bags, wallets, duffels to motorcycle helmets and iphone case!!! A Must have...

I wonder if Louis Vuitton has a tri-fold wallet as I want something small for my little cash... hehehe.....

Shopping anyone???
