Picture This

Halloween Night

Saturday, October 27, 2007

Alas, the day where we all have looked forward to has come to an end in mixed fashion. Jon Sum celebrated his 21st birthday dinner at Forefront yesterday with a bash. There was plenty to come soon after the dinner......

Hurried back home and got into our costumes for the Halloween night at VII. We all had different approaches to our costume choices. Me being the Magician, Ben the Baby Tiger, Jon self proclaimed a caveman but he was actually a Baby Bear, Marc being a prisoner and Aik Sin being a typical panchat.

Marc certainly can pull a prisoner disguise well enough. As so:

The hype was all around and it even prompted Wy Keith to go. Can you imagine someone who hates clubbing, loud music and alcohol chooses to go? Special appearance by Wy Keith in a Scream costume.

Anyway, let the pictures do the talking.

Overall a fun night but it would have been better if there was no drama involved. Bleh

Shall cut the story short, I was issued a fine on the tram because I didn't have a valid ticket but my case was I was about to buy a ticket and the freaking inspector didn't "allow" me. Argh

AUSD $162 and there is no way of escaping it. And if this was in Malaysia.........
You know what I'm talking about

Anyway, appealed to the infringement notice with all sort of randomness I could pull out of my ass part of it being true but added more spice :)

....But the result was a disappointment

I could have taken this case to court but going to court during the exam period and the fact that I'm going to fly home soon would be stupid. So I paid the fine which means I worked for one whole day just to pay this off. Sigh.

And what did I learn? VALIDATE your Metcard

Tsubi Sales 07

Saturday, October 20, 2007

Late nights, early mornings = gg
I'm losing my voice
I only had 3 hours of sleep for the past 2 days
I am screwed for exams

At the brighter side of life,

I went to the Tsubi/Ksubi sales at Docklands at 9am today.
And the store only opens at 10am. Hardcore much?

And I decided to splash the cash that I've earned from bartending and from the hospital
Let me introduce myself,

Hi my name is Marcus and I'm a shoppaholic

Yes, Tsubi's retail price is around AUSD $250 - 320 per pair.
But I got it for a bargain :)

Opening - No More Sorrow

Random post but yeh, witnessed a car smashing a tram from the apartment

Linkin Park @ Melbourne

Monday, October 15, 2007

The long wait for Linkin Park Live has come to an end as we witnessed a sold out event by LP in the utmost screaming manner! Chow Vi bought these tickets for us at the beginning of the semester and I've been waiting ever since for this concert and it was surely worth the wait.

Had McDonalds for dinner and hurried our way down to Rod Laver Arena as we wanted to get to our seats without being worried of the crowd flooding in. Oh, 'us' were May, Chow, Aik Sin, Jon, Keith and Ben.

The concert began with Chris Cornell from Audioslave performing as a special guest for Linkin Park. I had no clue on whatsoever he was singing except for that one hit wonder which has a good tune to it. Anyway it was bloody boring for a guest star which resulted Ben to his usual antics of sleeping in major events.

Anyway, the pictures below will sum up the night.

Overall, a truly great experience for me! This is probably the first concert I've ever been too and it was amazing. Well, the only drawback that Linkin Park is probably not the best of bands to sing along with but heck.

Might upload the videos on Youtube later in the afternoon.

Happy Birthday Aik Sin

3 Cheers for the birthday boy !

Aik Sin turns 19 today :)

News Update - Ben's shameless advertising

Adios

Center For Clinical Studies

Friday, October 5, 2007

The lack of update in my blog is due to my absence for the whole week. So what did I do?

Now tell me, where can you find FREE breakfast..........

....FREE lunch, FREE dinner.....

....FREE dessert....

....a place that allows you to do your assignments without getting distracted......

....a place to play air hockey, pool, table tennis, etc for free.....

.....get FREE super fast internet connection.....

....play FREE console games....

....play board games for FREE...

...get visited by volunteer visitors...

...as such...

Where?

Only at CCS

But what must you do to get here?

Follow the code of conduct and donate your body to science

But how long for?

Suffer 5 days at the center carrying an infusion and a portable ECG so nurses can monitor your heart rate in case the drugs kill you

Prime example of a lab rat: Ben Sum

The lil devil that was following our tail for the past 4 days

Damn it!

What was in the infusion?

Apparently an illegal drug which is 'suppose' to regenerate tissue cells for a patient who suffers brain tumor. It is not official yet therefore its being tested on us.

Drawbacks

Getting infused and walking around with the drip wherever you go.
Not able to shower for 3 days
Bleed like a soldier every 1 hour and so
Lie down in bed whenever you're asked
Do stupid responses like squatting down, touching your nose, standing on your heels and squeezing the doctor's fingers
Getting woken up in the middle of the night

and a lot more..but heck

End result?

Getting my veins inflamed
Arms are bruised and sore

And all this for AUSD $1,500
Pretty sweet huh? How hard is it to earn money these days. Tsk
