Yes. I got a job with suncorp stadium. Surprising eh? hehehe. Probably not. Well, to inform you all what kind of job it is, it's called a runner. What do I mean by that? Well, all I have to do is bring food to the customers in the corporate box while they are watching the games or bring alcohol to customers as they order it. Today, I was doing alcohol which was way much fun than bringing food to customers. The reason for that is, when you are posted in the food section, you have to wait in line outside the kitchen and once you are needed, you then only enter the kitchen and take the food to customers and line up again.

As for the alcohol section, I move around alot and continuously enter the fridge filled with alcohol and soft drinks and prepare drinks ordered by customers and deliver it to their room. Sounds easy isn't it? I can tell you, it is. I guess I never really enjoyed working before and this may be the first job that I like working. Especially the people I work with. Funny people as well as easy going, which includes my supervisor. Well, the match that day was Australia vs South Africa and from what I heard, South Africa got thrashed in that game. The atmosphere was excellent really. With the roar of the crowd and mexican waves. Still, I think football (soccer) would still produce a better atmosphere from the crowd such as chanting, singing together and so on. But thats just me :)

Oh...my supervisor is only 19 years old. The youngest among us which is probably the reason why he's a cool guy. I love working with him but then, my shift might switch around so...I will see if I have a chance to work with him again. Well I'm tired from working so I'll stop now. hehe. I'll update the site as soon as I can. Cheers ^_^

HELLOOOOOO~~~~ EVERYONE!! Well, Italy won the World Cup which was unexpected for me, but then again, they were one of the favourites to win as well. But about the incident over Zizu head butt on Materazzi can be debatable. FIFA said that the decision of the red card was not based on video evidence but was spotted by the fourth official on the sidelines. A fifth official was available to watch the video replay but was not allowed to intervene and the fourth official is not allowed to watch the replays to make a decision. What kind of rule is that? Still, what made Zidane explode is the question that is going on around everyone's mind and if Materazzi said something extremely bad, Zidane should have head butt the guy in the nose and break it, instead of the chest. I would applaud him for doing that. Well, the World Cup is over and its time to step away from football for a while till the new football season starts.

Lets begin with today. Today is not a very interesting day for me as I feel extremely lazy which is not exactly a nice feeling. I took an effort to call Suncorp stadium office to apply for a job there and I am sceduled to have an interview on Wednesday morning 10am. So early!!! I don't want to get out of bed but what can I do? I do need a job anyways and it would be nice if I can work on the day Robbie Williams visit Brisbane and performing in the Suncorp stadium and I could probably watch it for free. Even though I never really listen to his music, its free and why not? heh

Finally, after all these months, I took an effort to find a job but not too excited about it. Who would be excited about going to work anyways? I could be wrong. :p There are those that look forward to it. Still, Suncorp job won't be sufficient as the time I work are only during the time where there is a game going on. So, to kill more time and get more money, I'll need a second job. That is still in progress and I shall see if I'll pursue it further which I hope I will. Also went to Indooroopilly to change my phone line from a plan to a prepaid account. The bills were eating my cash away and an advice to people. A plan is not worth your money unless it is cheap. If it is not, better not get lured into it. I spend more money for that bloody phone than it is worth. Don't worry to those who think my number has changed. It has not.

Lets talk about another random thing. University stuff. I know, boring isn't it? Well first of all congratulations to those that did extremely well and those that passed their exams. For those who didn't, well... good luck with it again. As for me, I did alright. A bit better than I expected but what the hell. My GPA is already down the drain even if I do extremely well for my final semester here. Earlier today, I tried to enroll to the courses I intend to do for this new semester and what do I encounter? That one of them was not available or offered in the second semester which I think is needed to complete a second major. Bad luck? More like being lazy to check if it was offered or not. I choose subjects by not finding information about it because I feel that I don't need to, but more like picking them up blindly. Well, all has been well till this one happened. If I am not able to complete my second major as I intended, I'll just say "screw it" and just dump my plans of a second major away as I don't want to extend getting my degree for another semester. Whether that is going to happen, I need a reply from an advisor from UQ.

To those that don't know when uni starts, its on the 24th of July which is in two weeks time. Sorry to spoil the mood of holidays that you feel is going to last forever, it's back to reality for you and for me. heh. Hope you all enjoy your holidays as much as you can. Oh..Pirates of the Caribbean 2 was ok. A bit confusing on certain parts which may be explained next time, I would recommend those who haven't watch it to give it a go. But don't put too much expectations on it.

OOOOKKKKK~~~~ my predictions just went down the drain with Italy going through to the finals. This is how football is like; nothing seems to be going the way you want it when the favourites to win the match loses. Lucky for me, I didn't bet money this year or I'll be having butterflies in my wallet. Oh look, that butterfly looks colourful coming out of other people wallet. Ahemz~

Football is hard to predict I would say. Italy was performing crap during the stages of the World Cup and barely beat Australia 1-0 with a lucky final 20 seconds penalty kick. Performance was hardly convincing and here they are into the finals with either France or Portugal beating the almighty Germans in their home soil. Same goes with France. They performed badly in the opening stages of the competition and never seem like breaking their 8 year goal drought and they manage to beat Brazil 1-0 dominating the match.

Did I mention about diving? Seem's like this match between Germany and Italy had alot of it. Sigh~ The slightest touch and they are on the floor and over reacting. How sad. Why don't you all just throw punches at each other while kicking the opponent balls instead of doing something fake. Heh..maybe thats going too far. Ignore that. Just something for me and you to laugh at. Probably...if you are laughing :p

Well I guess I won't be too surprise this time if Portugal beats France and go into the finals. It would be an interesting World Cup where all the Giants fall apart and Portugal win the finals. It'll be a shock to the world and also alot of money travelling to other stranger pockets. And the losers will be cursing their hearts out. Well thats football for you. Still I love the game and I always will.

Ah yes, how can we forget people trying to cheat in the World Cup faking an injury when there is hardly any contact in the tackle or hand swinging around and players fall to the ground screaming in pain like as if their legs were broken. This is now a major issue in football where playing fair is the thing of the past.

Example of this in the current world cup is Thierry Henry falling to the ground when Puyol hardly touched him (France vs Spain) and the free kick led to a goal. Well Henry is not the only one while others are also doing it too in the last world cup such as Ronaldo or I think was Ronaldo faking as a ball hit his face from an unecessary hard kick from another player because Brazil was suppose to take a corner which the ball hit his shin but instead he grabbed his face and fall to the ground. As amusing as it is, it was stupid and Ronaldo (clarify: I think it is him) got caught for faking and got a yellow card. Well other players also do it over the years as well in club football.

FIFA said they will be doing something about it but till now nothing has really been done about it yet. I have a suggestion for them. How about letting the players cheat in the game and after the game, take action such as banning the player from playing 3 matches and a huge fine to discourage them from doing such play acting in the game. There is so many camera's around that video footage is not impossible to obtain. How about that FIFA? simple solution that you can use to experiment. If it works, excellent, if it doesn't, back to the drawing board.

Ok...time to be away from cheating to the semi final matches. Germany vs Italy and France vs Portugal. Who would have known Brazil actually got knocked out of the World Cup in the Quarterfinals when they were one of the favourites to win with having players such as Ronaldo, Ronaldino, Roberto Carlos, Cafu and others. World Class players such as England has. What happened for Brazil? Soccernet believed it was over confidence in the team. Everyone believe they were the champions again this year, and they sucked that in and played less effectively and underestimate their opponents and fell apart. I think it is a good single reason but then, there are others that state otherwise.

Well it doesnt matter now. Brazil is out and my prediction for the finals will be Germany vs France, but if Portugal gives a shock to France and head on to the finals, I'll accept that :) Anyways I'll end here. Cheerios and enjoy the World Cup. It is ending soon.

Must be sad news for the England fans as Portugal went through to the semi finals where England fell apart on penalties. Although it was known by most people with the way England played during the competition was less than satisfactory with the players they had and criticized that the chances of them winning the world cup was slim, still, this match against Portugal, they played extremely well.

Some of you might be cursing for Rooney's mistake for kicking the wrong balls and received a red card for his attitude and mistake, that might have led to the loss of England during that match. I would think he didnt deserve the red but its the referee who decides and it can't be changed. Those balls are the future of the player and his kids. 

Although England was down to ten men after 60 minutes, they fought hard with lots of strength and good spirit and even had a couple of extremely good chances, but it wasn't their year or their day. It was all decided during the penalty shootout where England failed to score, as 3 out of 4 shots was saved by one man which I believe would be the man of the night and match; Ricardo. I would feel pity and sadness for Beckham as this year might be his last year leading England in the world cup, but cheer up Becks; you got a hot wife and 3 kids to look forward to. Not all is lost. As for the rest of the England team, hope your new manager will do better than the current one. Good luck in 2010.

When I was watching this match, me and my friends were at Pizzeria at Milton which I believe we were the only group that was supporting Portugal. When England lost in the game, the whole place was quiet except us cheering that Portugal went through as they were more consistant in their performance. Still, after Christiano Ronaldo scored the last penalty shot, we left immediately before the England fans there chase us out :p A well deserved win in any case for Portugal. 

Next match Brazil vs France. This might be a classic match of 1998 World Cup. I would favour Brazil to win but anything can happen with football. We shall see what happens. OLE OLE OLE OLE!!!~~~~ Cheers. 

Been having lack of sleep for the past few days. It's suppose to be the holidays and also the time where I can sleep as much as I want. Well, the reason for the lack of sleep have been because of me going out with friends alot these past few days and it has been an excellent time for me to be enjoying life that I didn't take the time to before. A good price to pay to have fun.

On Monday was playing games with a group of friends and got home abt 4am and slept at 5am. Because I wanted to go ice skating the next day with them had only abt 5 hrs of sleep as I was told to wake up at 10am. Reluctantly I got out of bed and got ready for them to pick me up and what do you know? They haven't woken up yet. Man!! I should have been like them and kept on sleeping. But ah well, Malaysians aren't usually punctual when it comes to a set time.

Of course ice skating was fun. Hadn't ice skate in a while and I believe I've gotten better in it. Although I did fall on my ass once or twice as I love to skate at fast speed and try to avoid banging into people in front of me. Sometimes I panic which I believe was the reason to me falling. Lose concentration and pop! my ass in on ice. The ice skating venue was freezing cold. It's like a freezer in there. I just stepped in and I can't stop myself from shaking. Knew I should have put on more clothes but can't blame myself for being half dead when I just woke up still tired. We spend almost 2-3 hrs skating and getting blisters. Still it was fun. After skating, we were off to Sunnybank to have lunch at a place called Malaya. The have big portions when it comes to food and most of us didn't finish our food except me, Johnathan and Joanna. After being satisfied, finally its time to go home and take a rest. Around 11pm I got a call to go to------->

KLUB KANDY

For those that stay in Brisbane know of this event pretty well. It's hosted by a group of people from Hong Kong and supported by a number of student associations. To be blunt, basically an Asian party. There was alot of people especially Asians and remarkably, less Australians. I would expect Australians to fill up the place as well but was not the case this time. It wasn't too bad compared to the previous one although I didnt show up for it where people can't even move inside the club. To move you have to squeeze your way through everyone. Too many people = crap party.

Since there was not alot of people, it was alright but still, I was tired to even really enjoy myself. Then when we were about to leave, some interesting show occured outside the club. 2 guys got beaten up by 5 other people for some stupid reason. But it doesn't seem to amaze me anymore. I see this most of the time when I go clubbing. Some idiot makes a mistake or did something stupid, then the other idiot just whacks him. Whether the guy getting whacked deserved it or not is another story. Still, some people just want to act tough in front of others.

Anyways, my head is spinning around at the moment so I'll end it here. Here will the highlight of my ending of this post. Those who study in UQ, results will most likely be out by 5th July. Good luck to all.

You must be wondering who this particular person is? I didn't know myself until I watched an emotional documentary about him. He was a man, a Japanese Diplomat, that I never knew such a man would exist in this world. During the WWII he saved 6000-10000 Jews by defying the Japanese government and risk his life and family against the Russians and the German Nazi by writing thousands of visa's 16 hrs a day for 4 weeks in order to allow the Jews to leave the country away from suffering and murders done by the Russians and the Germans during the war. During that time, he suffered the hardships and today the survivors saved by Sugihara honor him and cannot thank him enough for what he has done. If you would like to read more...here is the link.

I have full of respect for this man

Good day my dear readers. How's life?? Anyways, exams just ended for me and what a relieve. No more suffering from trying to stay awake, trying to keep my eyes on the book and not wonder around trying to find little things to distract me. But with this relieve, always comes a price. Now I am freaking bored with nothing better to do. Trina told me, don't guys love games? Its true that games can entertain me, but lately, I prefer going out than sticking to games. Makes life more interesting for me and be sociable with others.

I remember a guy I met in this game called World of Warcraft said this once, "I'd rather give up sex for WoW". What the hell is wrong with gamers nowadays? A game is better than sex? You must be joking me. There are even cases of people dying over games such as died from exhaustion or starvation and what's worse, committed suicide by jumping down a building with a suicide note "For the Heroes of the Game (World of Warcraft). Is life worth throwing away just for a bloody game? If you are a gamer, play responsibly and remember there is life outside games...and its the only life worth having that sitting your ass down in front of the PC for hours everyday forgetting everyone around you. Its fantasy to be with games...and not reality.

Its true that some people play games for a living as they are good at it and even get paid just for playing games. Its cool to have a future like that without the need to work hard but chances of getting a life like that is very small. There are even people who are married that play World of Warcraft or FFXI online that have kids and everyday they come home from work, the PC is the first thing they look forward to. They dont pay attention to their family enough or even spend time with them. Really, please get a life. Dont waste it and ruin your own family. There are those out there that love you. The game doesnt love you. It love's your money. For those that died cause of the game. I have no pity for them. Its just plain stupid. I don't want a life that revolves around games :D

Well today is the second day of holidays for me and I really need a job or I'll die without money. hehe. Parents told me that they wont give me money during the holidays so this is my only option to survive. hehe....well I guess its my fault that I didn't work hard enough when I got a job before and usually leave that job after a short period of time. Well its a good thing for me to be having a job too. I've seen friends work hard just to earn money on their own and they spend it however they see fit. The good thing of earning your own dough.

Hmm I can go on forever but I'll save those for another time. Signing off

Heylo to all!! I made a post last night at a friend's site about her being an alcoholic which was more of me teasing her about it, but in the end I got a negative response which made me feel guilty. Probably because the way I wrote it made her think that way, so I guess it can be considered my fault. I don't know if you ever read my blog till today, but if you do...here I am to personally apologise to you again....I'm sorry~~

Well Friday night as usual I went out again with another friend to the Underground in the city to have some beers and to chill out. It was a busy night filled with people getting drunk and several guys trying to pick out chicks, get kisses from them and what not. This is one reason why I am afraid certain friends of mine that loves partying may fall into this trap of guys trying to take advantage of girls while they are drunk or too high and may fall into it as there is a point when you are drunk you don't really care whats going on around you. Scary for me in a way...but then again, what can I do? Just believe and hope nothing like this will ever happen to the people I care. Guys like these are just looking for one night stands in my view which I disrespect for such attitudes and goals. Women are not tools!!!

There was one time about 2.30am, the DJ decided to make a contest with $100 cash prize if you can dance dirty on a small stage. It was nice watching these people dancing their @ss off trying to win the cash and some girls even took off their bras to hype up the atmosphere that night. I guess an act in desperation to win the cash I would think. Well, I was drunk on my own as my friend got carried away with another guy and ditched me. LOL! but none the less...it wasn't too bad and I can tell you this, those naked women on stage, didnt do anything to make the night anymore interesting than it was...hahaha!! Didn't know what else to do and went home straight after the contest. Had an ok night anyways.

Well today I spent the whole day in uni today studying for the exam I will be having on Saturday. I wouldn't say its the first time I've done it, but reluctant to even try it. But I guess if I dont want distractions from my PC, internet and PS2 and to do well for my papers just this once instead of getting unsatisfying consistant results over the 2 years I am here. Its time for a change and since it is also my final year, might as well do what I can to become a better student. I guess I will be trying to do this going to uni thing till late night for the next few nights or weeks till the exams are over. I'll probably get sick of doing this but what the hell. For the sake of getting better results!!!

I feel like the things I write is sooo boring. I guess pictures would cheer things up as Ben said and also hoping to improve myself on the things I write. Eventually I'll get there maybe and not bore people to death. If one day people decides not to read my blog anymore I'll be sooo sad..but always a possibility in everything. Well, I'll end here with 1 word...or 2..I don't even know..hahah!! Good night!

Hello my dear friends and readers. As the title implies, its true as you can see in the month of May, I've only posted 5 times. Hehe....I can be a really lazy person and I can't deny it. Though rushing assignments last two weeks was a pain in the @ss but at least I got it done on time. Well it's still not over yet as exams are getting closer and mine starts on the 10th of June at 8am in the morning. Yes...exams...8am on a Saturday. Well there goes my beauty sleep.

Also how sad is it to have your exam beginning on the first day and ends on a day before the last day where most of my friends would be enjoying the holidays during the time they finish their last paper. I can imagine them looking at the clock counting the seconds away until the invigilator says, put down your pens!! and they put out a sigh of relief knowing that its finally over for now. Good feeling isn't it? Unless you are the type that don't sleep last night just to rush and finish studying for today's paper, then you'll look like a zombie without a smile on your face, but just wanting to go home and sleep and smile happily the next day :D..and maybe even call me to tease me about it. LOL!! I'll switch off my phone I swear!!

Well I cant complain about the days 10th, 19th, 21st and 23rd since I had worse times with exam timetables in the past where I had 4 paper in 4 days. When I finished my last paper, my friends just started theirs. It was amusing teasing them about it but it was a nightmare to finish it so quickly and having less time to prepare. Still teasing was fun. Its not fun if it happens to me though. HEH! Well, I got exactly 9 days to prepare my first paper and here I am lazing off and not doing anything productive even though my lecture notes are right in front of me. But can't help it...I'm tired from playing games....hahaha..lame excuse no? but its true....playing games can make you tired especially when you just spend about 6 hrs in front of the PC trying to kill other players ignoring your body needs and pain. My back hurts!! haha..I know I know..its my fault :p

Tomorrow will be going to class from 11m till 4pm...then I'll have to go to play football (soccer) and after that, at 10pm..going to meet a friend to chill and have a few drinks which means, another day wasted. Well at least doing that made me decide to skip playing online game on Saturday where my guild or group always have 40 ppl that I have never met before go and kill stuffs and get good items out of it. Well, studying for the exam is more important now and games can always wait. I better not slack off half way studying to play games as I always did in the past. It can be so distracting and annoying. Well I need to wash some dishes now before trying to study tonight at least 1 chapter of lecture notes before I do anything else. So with that, I'll end today's post with a tired looking face :) Good luck to those have exams soon too as well as those that might be working and hate it :p Cheers

Signing off, Nick
