Interesting News

Right, this piece of news has been kept from all of you for quite some time. hahaha.... I can stop laughing everytime I thought about it. I went for a movie audition in December 2005. okie let me start from the begining.

This "job" was found in AUU emploment database (from Adelaide Uni website). The Angela Heesom Casting C/-SA Film Corporation was looking for some movie casts. The cast that I fit into was "Young Sue- 19-27 years old Chinese woman. Must speak Mandarin. No previous acting experience required." I emailed them that I was interested in the role. They sent back an email asking for my self photograph. The a week later, they asked me to go in for camera shoot. It was funny and shocking at that time. But truth to be told, it wasn't as "glamarous" as i thought it would be. I went and had a mug shot; yup the type of picture taken by policeman. Literally a front view and a side view shot and at the bottom, a piece of paper with my name on it. they asked acouple of questions like my age, language that I spoke.. etc.. hahaha and it all finished in 5 minutes. It Christmas now, and I havn't heard from them for quite some time. So I'm not even sure if I got the part. sigh... It was fun while it lasted though......

A bit about the movie: The film title is The Home Song Stories.
It starring Joan Chen. The story is about Sue, a glamorous Shanghai nightclub singer, and her struggle to survive in Australai with her two young children. Based on a true story, this is an epic tale of mothers and sons, mothers and daughters, unrequited love and hidden secrets that span continents and decades. The film is written and directed by Chinese Auastralain director, Tony Ayres.

hahah So if you see this movie next time, and you see that I'm not acting in it. It means I didn't made the part (deep sigh... hahaha so close to becoming a big movie star) (*Feels like Joey from friends.....*)

Seriously, deep down inside, I know I won't be choosen cus I don't look like Joan Chen at all. How am I suppose to act as the younger version of her??? hmmmm....but it's the fun of the process that makes life memorable....... winks~*

Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire

Okie I have to admit that i'm so lacking behind the history of my life. So before interesting news that I'm about to tell, a brief update on myself.

Yes I've graduated on the 22 December 2005, Thursday. I'm officially a Food Technologist, who is also a Quality Manager. I am considered a jobless person, as I've yet to look for a food company to work in; but mind you I'm currently working in Uni Lab, doing experiments.
(Pictures of the graduation will be uploaded soon. As soon as I resize and scan some of them.

Blogging (Green with envy?)

(Names of friends, M, N, O, P.....)
A recent "discussion" with my friends on blogs. M says that it's a place for bragging; N says that it's a place to update and share with friends; O says that it's a place to complain.... What do you think?

I agree with all bits and pieces. Currently, I've a friend,S, who is going to marry soon. Her blog consist of her knowledge on rings, wedding gown, flowers etc.... She tells people about the $$ she spend etc... Well, true she's telling the whole world that she spend alot of money, but then, if you're a close friend, she would have told you or you would have asked her about it... I guess there is a fine line between sharing and bragging. A note to the readers *If you don't like what you read, then close the window and don't read*... no point of you reading people's blog and complain that that person is bragging about her life... Good for you *S*, Congratulations and have a memorable wedding!

There is another blog that i came across; people complementing and complaining about their relationship. yes it's true, relationship can be sweet as can be, sour with slight bitter after taste... it's understandable... I would say, sometimes telling another about your heartache, relieves you emotionally. I would agree on the part where you tell your friends about your problem. But if you have a blog that connects you to everyone (friends and strangers; eg. Friendster blog)... hmmm it makes you wonder.....

there are a couple of blogs which are really really funny, i accidentally came a cross a blog (I have no idea who it was)... it consist of self tests.. hahaha, it's those where you answer a series of questions and they'll tell you your personality.. etc... the fella keeps his blog updated with these self tests that he come across... hahah very very funny.... (if i can remember the blog, i'll post it up for you to have a read!)

Well a pre-warning to you readers... next month I'll be bragging and sharing about my graduation day! you'll just have to put up with it!! muahaha

WOoHOo

Exam has finished, Thesis has already been handed up for marking. Now have a 2 weeks break before a major presentation. Time to do some shopping, catch up with friends, which I have deserted for a month. Try to sort out my ex-textbooks!....
What a joy it is!! =)

Huge Sigh......

Right, there is an appropriate time for panicking in your life; and it's currenty happening in my life. Most of it, I blame myself. I should be doing work, but got so caught up in the korean series (Da Chang Jing) that there is not enough time for any of my assignments. It's not one of those short 20 episodes, this has 70 episodes, and took me 2 (night time) weeks to finish watchin. and the consequence is overdue thesis and early morning rushing assignments syndrome. =P okie me back to work!
tata for now

back to boring life

Yup, My birthday was a week ago, and till now I havn't exactly did what I wanted to, and present from home has not arrived yet, sigh..... Oh and after all this, i'm back to uni, doing my honours project.... Yawn... well, if I wanna graduate, I'll have to do it!....

So HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY OLD CHAP!

Impression Night


Sigh, most of my frens didn't turn up for this event... makes you wonder why> It's such a good chance of taking pictures of all your frens dressed up nicely, etc....

Well, here is my dress for the night! and i'm proud to say, I bought this for myself, with me own money ($Aus 250 plus minus). This is the first time I saw an dress and "had to" have it. No regrets buying it, and it better fit my after 5-10 years... and this is the only full length picture i have on myself... the other gal is my housemate (the taller one)... hahah we both enjoyed ourselves I guess... haha....

The night went on pretty smooth, except the dumb DJ never played my requested song... What is wrong with these people and techno or trance??!!My guess is they don't like it, cus they dunno how to dance along with it. They kept playing hiphop on and on and on....

As for the food, like everyone says, the portion is small, but not too bad of a taste. of course there is a free flow of alcohol till 10pm. and i DID NOT get DRUNK! for those of you who are reading this... hahaha...

retry of pictures


Still trying to load pictures, but just can't get the hang of it....

Here is a photo of Malaysian night... nothing much to do..eat dinner, watch show... then go home, didn't win any prize... lalala

Of course my lovely partner, Sarah, we came up with a shelf stable chocolate sauce. the sauce is meant to be eaten with ice-cream.. etc what ever you like. ther are two flavours, orange (which tasted like Jaffar's) and Chilli, gives it a spicy kick! well, the product had a good sales, gone in one week (80 bottles)... hmmm... not bad for starters...

Too Long!

Yes, it's been too long since I've updated myself. I do apologise to myself. There should be every funny, sad, memorable moment that should be written down from time to time. A couple of birthdays had passed, seems like everyone is getting old yearly. Well, mine is coming up soon! I wonder how would it be like?.... people always ask me, long time no see, how've you been?.. the answer is "same old ,same old".... of course there are a number of my friends who are married and have kids already... i guess the sudden discovery of friends married and have kids is no longer a shocking issue since college.. yup, i had a fren who was 17 then, married a 28 year old french guy... (hmmm)... and a fren who was already married (19 years old) with a (1 year old) son... then another got engage to a internet guy, went to USA to meet him and got married with another guy (What The??)..... yes life bits and pieces of interesting teaching values.....

I have recently read a blog from my best friend; here is a theory to think about:
you spend most of your relationship life thinking if the guy you went out with is Mr Right... but if you discovered you got pregnant, all you need is two minutes to know he is the one....
However funny it sounds, it's quite true for some people. of course there is a choice of getting abortion, or not get married....it does make you wonder....

Sunday, August 07, 2005

Wow, sure have been long...

It's been a long time since i've updated my blog. I guess there's too much things to do and work out. Picture wil be up soon I hope, as I meant to change my cd drive to dvd drive, format my computer and redownload all the software... then set up my scanner... only then will there be pictures in my blog. so curently back to computer, key data... man!! life is a drag.....

Kareoke

I love kareoke, there are so many types overhere.... if you wanna eat lunch and sing (there is a place where you can go), if you prefer just singing in your own private room (there is also such places)... and of course the public ones (haven't seen any yet)...... now all i need is to find people to go with..... yes, it's a bit of a trouble to search of people to join you in anything especially if you go onto a trip alone.... i guess i'm sort of a by myself person (i think, did I hear a giggle somewhere?)... anyway, i like walking around by myself in sydney... so nice and in my no time, no hectic sheduale to follow, sleep when i want.... so relax (and that's what holiday is all about)... the only problem is that you have to keep asking peopl to take photo for you.... and you'll be the only one laughing at funny signs and sights.... other than that, i love it here... i wouldn't mind studying here (but the living cost is $$$$$$$$).... price of food is okie, reasonable ranges from $5 -$10 in Chinatown)... it's the accomadation and transport which are $$$.... hmm....

"World Peace"

This issue came up with my dear roommate (Robina).... here is a thought. If people (backpackers) can get along with everyone in the room, no matter what race, religion or country, why can't people (the whole world) get along with one another.....

In deep thoughts,
Hai Yunn

okie, I've only got 32 minutes left to write out all i have to write.......I'm currently in the internet cafe checking all my junk e-mails.... i've got sore feet, and painful knees... been walking for 3 days and i think my knees will be giving way soon.... gonna rest thru out the afternoon for the day....

okie... 1st day in Sydney... all i did was to walk around the place where i live YHA Sydney Central... good location... anyway, when to chinatown etc.....then slept in the evening... get to know my roommates during the nite, then more zzzzzzz.....

the second day. hmmmm... interesting day: nearly got run over by a car.. literally a few inches away... (the problem is i wasn't shock or afraid.... the lady behind me screamed.. and I was like: oh a car just flew by... hmm??) it's abit abnormal.... can't explain it....

Still on the second day, i went to the Opera House, the Sydney Bridge, Dalring Habour.... etc... got lost, found my way.. got even more lost.. still able to get home in peace........
Have terrible aching feet with a few blisters... so a word of advice... buy new shoes if you plan to go for loooooooooog walks.

Money Money Money

It's end of the "Financial Year" over here in South Australia; I've just receive my tax refund paper thing. Oh a brief explaination: I've worked a month in University, and I've got paid for work (my own honours project).... and of course you get tax. but if your tax is below a certain amount, it's fully refunded. So obviously mine is given back... (i'm currently $450 richer) muahahaha..... so happy....

bounce bounce bounce.... It definatedly made me make up my mine to work here before i go back to Malaysia. so in total that I've earn for a month was about $3100 for just casual work. Imagine that i'm working permeanent....and thinking even further, you have to times by 3 for RM$.... (ka-ching!)....now where can you get that amount in Malaysia?

I've already bought a 1992 baby Charade with most of my paid but i still think it's worth every penny of it. No regrets!

Pack me bags and head off!

Yes!!! I'm heading to Sydney tomorrow!.... I haven't been to Sydney yet, I sure hope that I'm gonna like it there. I didn't like Melbourne, too KL like (not a bad thing) but the cold weather got to me. It felt crowded, cold and dark. I guess I'm more of a Sunshine person.. hmmm?

Anyway, a weeks after that it's home sweet home in good old Malaysia!... sigh, only back for 10 days, have to meet up with friends, go shopping for clothes, eat "see ham", lala, asam laksa, curry laksa, nasi lemak, "lou min", "ha min".... hmmm tummy growling just thinking about it. So many things to do, so little time.

Oh and my job when I go back is to shower my dogs... yes, they need a bit of washing (so I've heard). ever since my dumb maid ran away, household chores are a pain in the #$%#%... it's actually not that bad, if there were less trees.... but then I've always love a good big garden of my own, with vegetables or fruit trees planted everywhere. The annoying part is where you need to sweep and pluck away the weeds.

Right, back to happy thoughts... I'm going on a holiday!!! not gonna worry aout my honours project till I'm back after then hols!

5 seconds rule

Hmmm went and cooked at a friend's place. Haha don't ask about the taste of the food, there are no words to discribe immature cooking skills. Hmm, maybe we were too hungry to be bothered if it tasted nice..?? =P Anyway, there was an incident that happen that involve 5 second rules.
I guess everyone has sort of a habit of picking up and "dropped" foodand placed it in to their mouth. This gives me an idea; there sould be some new food or food packaging that requires the consumer to bang the thing onto the floor in order to consume it... it's sort of a "shake vigorously" drink... crazy thoughts: too much product development last semester. Oh I did chocolate desert sauce for that subject. there's orange flavour and chilli flavour. Trust me, both of them tasted fantastic (although marks are not given for taste, only the process of deriving from kitchen recipe to manufacturing style of recipe).

My thoughts for the pass month (May/June)

I thought I'll just write it down before I miss place them. These "quotes" are my copyright. The inspiration comes from heartache, healing and hmm.... Anyway, hey they are in order:

1. It's 3 am and I'm lying in bed. thinking, wondering; What and where went wrong? The story of my lost life. In a flash, what I have disappears and replaced by questions. When will peace come?

2. This heart was once full of hope but broken into pieces by you. Mended itself and fragiley placed with you again. but it's still shattered by you once again. This time it's healing again under lock and key, where you don't hold the key.

3. The door was once opened to your world, is now closed. Only a window is left open to watch you from a far. Warmest wishes to you from me everytime u turn back and peer in.

Data Data

Lunch time, and I can't be bother to get up and buy food, hhmmm i'll just leave early later. I've been key in data of my HPLC results and I can tell you that it ain't fun. I suppose it's better and analysing the reults and write a report on it. hmmmm Well me will be going off in about 2 hours time I hope.

After exam

Just Chilling over here. hmm,.... just feel like doing nothing, nothing what so ever.

Friday, June 17, 2005

Stress!!!

Every semester is the same, EXAMS!!!!! well, can say much about it... I guess everyone has gone thru the phase.... there comes a point where you can't rememeber anything, and just wanna drown yourself.... sigh..... stress all the way..... and what is worse, I've only got 1 paper that requires exam and I'm already whining and complaining...

More Junkie

Actually, I should have put in bubble tea. I love bubble tea, but that depends on where you buy them... Taiwan has the best bubble tea. Love the food there, love the shopping there....sigh, wanna go there again, but too lazy to meet up with relatives....

My favourite Junkie

10 JUNK FOOD YOU MUST EAT BEFORE YOU DIE!

1. Tim tams by Arnotts
2. Pods by Mars
3. Potato Chips by Rock Deli
4. Starburst by Masterfoods
5. Thins Potato Chips
6. Haighs Chocolate
7. Instant 2 minutes Thai Noodles... (spices up you life! and bum the next morning)
8. Instant 2 minutes beef noodles from Taiwan!!!! (extra yum!)
9. Coca Cola (I'm am a pure CocaCola-holic)
10. Orange Choc Squash by Fanta (depending on individual taste, I love it)

It's al right

I'm happy with the background, it's slightly pale... hmm, maybe some changes here and there later.

First thing first, why am I here? Anyone of you out there has a Diary where you pour your heart and soul out since the age of 7. And you get all fired up if someone reads it. hahah Yes I had a book, and there isn't any consistancy in the dates of entries. As years gone pass, what is the use of telling a book your problems, yet there's no one to advice you. So here I am, being anonymous, I'd like to tell my problems out in my new blog, and if there's any visitors who pop-by, do leave with a few comments, advice before you leave. Thanks!

If there's no visitors, well, at least I know my blog is the same as my secret Diary. no one knows it exist. hahaha...

What can I say about myself;
I'm currently in my final year doing Honours, in the Bachelor Degree of Food Technology and Management. you'll be amazed on how many people can misinterpret my degree with Foot Technology "(If there is such degree). Sigh, and they start to ask question on "do you make fake feet? or analyse feet for some purposes?"....hmmm

It's FOOD Technology. Yes, I enjoy food, that i why I'm in the course. It's quality control course.

Are you still wondering what is it about? okie, when you go into the supermarket, there are rows and rows of food, everytime you buy a product, you know that it is safe, has the same taste as the ones you bought before... all these food quality control are done by Food Techies.....

Still don't get the picture? I'd love to work in large food companies, Cadbury, Coca Cola... etc...you'll just have to accept that.

But my final aim is to be a Dietician and Nutritionist. That's gonna take a couple more years to study. So wish me luck!

Truth be told, i'm not a person with healthy eating habit, I'd thank my genes that I don't bloat up heaps when I go on junkie food spree. There are so many junk food that I'd like to introduce to you readers out there, which you must definately try.

A start of a brand new page!

Welcome myself to my 1st page. With the normal, boring introduction of myself, why am I here? hmm...

All these would be answer in time. This is a trial and error page for me, to get the hang of handling my page, and make it look good!

so yup, you'll be reading from me shortly!

winks~*
