Bye2 306...

Its nearly 4am and tomorrow's a work day. I just finished some work I needed to do and thought its a good time for me to write something in the quiet...

The weekend has been quite productive although I have not been feeling too well due to the crazy weather :( On Saturday we went to Manlok's brother's garage to pick our old car, the Peugeot 306 up. It was there for some minor repairs before we sell it. Some ppl were interested in it so we thought we better bring it home and give it a good bath... Ended up in the garage for half a day, hanging out and washing and waxing our new car! hhehe...

Nearly forgotten how fun it was handwashing cars. Since we had water restriction due to the drought here, we weren't allowed to wash our cars at home! Had to pay to use the car wash thing. Bloody expensive man! Anyway, washed and waxed it, but then right after we finished it started raining.. lucky us! :(

Anyway, today we had a call while we were out from a chick who was interested in it. We quickly came home and give it a good wash and clean... they came and liked the car and put down a deposit for it while settling their loan with the bank... So, my beautiful red peugeot is gone.. I feel really sad coz i liked it a lot but its too expensive for us to keep 2 cars. I hope the new owner takes good care of it. Although its a good thing that someone is buying it as we then do not have to keep paying for it...

This post is dedicated to my beloved car..




Bye bye my little beaute.... will miss you and remember you always!

OK...OK...

Alright Bie.. I GET IT.. FOOD MELAKA YUMMY... I will be home in a month's time. STOP TEMPTING ME! :P

C-H-I-L-L-I-N-G

I m chillin' at home, trying to blog with Luke climbing out from underneath the computer table. He is forever up to something. If it's not disturbing his lil sister, it would be jumping from the bed or playing with his Thomas the Train. Nonetheless, with all the noise and activity at home, Melaka seems like the best place to chill. Everything is almost slow here-the lifestyle, the traffic, and even the way KL-lites drive around here. It could get a bit irritating at times, especially when u are rushing off to somewhere. But anyhow, it's still a good place for retirement so to speak ;)

Kerang by the longkang was awesome. The bloodier, the better. haha. Went there after dinner yesterday. U'd be surprise how many patrons they fetch. That stall had been there for ages, ever since my parents were courting! Shall post some pics later.

Ok i m having peranakan for dinner soon. Getting my tummy ready for some awesome food again . How not to get fat staying in Melaka? hehe.

Of hot summer nights and ice cold beers...

Stop luring me bie! :P I am coming home in a month, make sure u have time for urs truly! heheheh...

Anyway, today was the last day of the semester and exams for my students in melbourne uni. I have organised a get together drinkies in one of the watering holes in the city.. some place called Mr Tulk. Its quite a cool place located (believe it or not..) within the state library building! Yes, a pub-cum-cafe in a library! Made our way there after work through the crazy city traffic. And of course, we were the first ones there... uni students can never be on time! :P The weather today was heavenly! So warm and sunny (at least 30C!).. great condition for ice cold beers or whatever alcoholic drink u like lah...

And proving me right, only the local students came. All the asian students in my design tute group were MIA... but who cares... its more fun with the locals anyway! hahahaha... talk about being anti-social. I dont understand but most asians they just keep to themselves and wont bother to socialise with their colleagues. So they come and go and not learn or make any friends locally. What a pity!

Anyway... drinkies was really good and fun. One of my students bought me a glass of beer and although I dont like beer a whole lot, I thought I would still drink it.. since he as sincere enough to buy me one... but didnt finish it though.. mebbe 1/2 glass? hheh.. got myself a vodka on rocks instead. LOVE my VODKA! :)

It was a real fun night...tonight, we are just friends... and not tutor-student. Everything was very relaxing, happy and cruisy.

In short, it was a good semester. Most of my students are good kids. I am sure they will do well in the course provided they keep up the effort. I truly hoped I manage to channel some of my passion for architecture to them... or encourage them at least! Quite proud of the work they produced over the semester. Will always have these kids in my heart (since they are my first ever batch of students).

After drinkies, manlok and me walked around looking for food, naturally! Somehow alcohol always make u feel so damn hungry! So we had some crepes.. and after that went to have some hawker food.. i know we got our food priorities terbalik! drinkies, dessert THEN main! hahaha... oh well.. a good start to the weekend, wont you say so? :)
