Since the last couple of weeks, I've been living off Eddie (eating all the yummy food he brought home) , I decided to treat him to dinner yesterday. I am no parasite, at the very least I always try not to!
If you all live in Melbourne, you all probably heard of this place call Ying Thai on Lygon Street. They serve the best thai food I've ever eaten. If you come Melbourne, its a MUST GO place.
I wanted to bring both of us there, but too bad, he had meeting till 8pm, and I was too hungry, so we went to eat nearby.
Well, cause I read a lot of random blogs , and how they get their pictures taken by a 3rd party, rather than they camwhore themselves....I thought to follow. Cause it is like narrating a story and us being IN the story, rather than forced camwhore photos all over.
So, I've decided to give Eddie another chance in photography (he is very popular among me and my girlfriends especially, in taking ugly/half arse photos).
LOOK AT THE OUTCOME. FML.
I gave up hope in him holding a camera that instance. Will train him whenever time allows. The more times he hold the camera, the more ugly shots will come out.
(Do you all know, even though you delete absolutely everything on your computer or hard disk, there are still ways to retrieve the data? Unless you burn the hard disk, random people can do it. Eg. my very own brother! So never take naked pictures of yourself at all cost. lol. Or you'll end up like Edison Chen-he actually erased everything from his computer before sending it for repair, but look at all the photos that leaked out!)
And I also decided to get even ♫♪♪♫ :
Okay, food then came, and this is the last photo of our dinner :
I paid for dinner, was being very generous. Look at two other sides ! Tom yum soup and fish cakes (not very nice though).
Total damage : $40.60
T_T
Notice my blood shot eyes? Today, my eyes totally KO-ed. It grew puffy, and more red after that, and worse today! ahhhh. People always tell me the nicest feature of my face are my eyes and skin...well, they look horrible now. Red eyeballs, puffy, + dry skin on my lids and I used new facial stuff that caused a reaction on my skin, making it look like they have rashes all over. Not severe, but slightly noticeable IRL.
=(
Ignore this section if you hate emo post.
....................
Actually, I cried.
I don't know what to do at this point of life. Not going back home for over a year (grandfather's funeral doesn't count, didn't get to spend quality time with my family)...I am extremely homesick. I think of home every single day. sigh.
I always thought to push myself outside comfort zone, but it's tough.
The camp....actually left me in shock. It was an eye opener...but I just can't be like them. I can't dance with just undergarments. I can't talk like them. I can't freaking understand almost all their slangs. I am not open enough.
I told one of the guys "my boyfriend was quite pissed at me cause I went for the camp".
He told my boss' partner infront of me " her boyfriend was like cutting her up for attending Aa Camp".
Me " WhaT?"
Him " you told me your boyfriend was cutting you up just now"
Me " er?"
Him "Cutting you up, you know, angry?" (with a slight irritated look on his face)
WTF !! Not only that lah, there are loads more that I can't even remember.
I know that I am here in Australia, that I should talk they way they talk, to try to blend in, but I just can't. I have my own limits, and its not very high to change myself completely, to turn into an Australasian. I love home. They are people who are embarrassed of home and their own mother tongue language (not all, most that I've met).
My boss appointed me as a Marketing/ PR Executive/ Social Face, but I am afraid...I can't do it.
I just don't understand Australian culture...and I understand Malaysia way better. ... sighness.
I look so tired, depressed and stressed nowadays, that my friends just call me to go back and catch up on sleep today. Even when I told them I need encouragement to exercise, they said no. Haha, what am I doing now? I love torturing myself with no sleep and then complain about eyebags.
Girls...or is it just me :) ...

Hm... somehow, I got more fun with you than my Australian fds. Perhaps, my English isnt too well to understand every words that they said, but it doesnt mean I'm that stupid. Sometimes they will treat you like a dumb. I hate that.
For the culture issue, I discuss with Tracy. We found that we have the culture shock with Australian. And we have the culture shock with our fds in HK as well.... weird. She n I develop a new different culture... =_="
yeah, my english isn't all that great when I am around those local asians, too. BUT ITS NOT ENTIRELY OUR ENGLISH'S FAULT, IT'S THEIR SLANG!!!!
