Cuz it makes me happy

Along Swanton Street, beside the City Hall, a giant chess game was going on between a punk and another guy. The board of the game was the floor and the pieces were half a meter tall.

E and i sat to watch... I wanted to play too, just to have something to blog about =)

And i did. People gathered around to watch... paiseh, malu, i'm no great player. My heart was beating so fast. But it was fun. And yeah, i lost.

Stuck around to watch another game and then i camwhored =)

That happened late April. The pieces are actually very light. Wanna go there again!

Late April was eventful. Crazy housemates and i flew a kite one winding Monday afternoon.

Housemates went to Toys R Us and bought a kite. A $19.90 kite!! Shit... can buy 6 kites from Batu Feringghi (however its spelled) in Penang.

Of course, we never fail to camwhore:

Look at our eyes... i'm looking at the camera. HS and CT are looking up but in different directions! Hahaha, makes you wonder is there really a kite in the sky??? If so, is it to the left or to the right? Definitely just posing! Hahaha

Camwhore until the kite went down!

Its ok, we'll do a sad picture.

We got the kite up in the sky again soon...

Really high. That's little ol' me. Home's on the left, just a few houses away. Thats the country side i have to walk through to get to class. Will miss this path some day

Monash is behind the trees. Can you see the railway crossing? This damn train made me late for many classes.

Once i looked in the wrong direction and nearly committed suicide!

Err... if the train comes from the left, it takes ages to reach the crossing, so its possible to run across... but if it comes from the right, it goes by really quickly.

Housemates and i also had a formal dinner at home. Look at the fooooooood! CT 's a gourmet chef!
Salmon main course! Killer good. And why are wedges also called banditos? We also had the alfalfa sprouts thingie for starters.

And camwhored for dessert!

You'll never get to do this in fine dining restaurants!

Last but not least:

The Burns Street girls. Haha, its common for us in Monash University Peninsula to refer to groups of people by the street they live on.

Another example would be the Malaysians on McMahons Street or the Singaporeans on McMahons Street. Its really funny that one house is full of Malaysians, the other has 5 Singaporeans and that they are neighbours! HAHAHAHA. All getting along very well.

it's difficult to find a padang here that's safe enough to fly kite. i'll either fall into some hidden hole or have to climb trees to retrieve my kite. mana fun? *sad*
and the food...*drools*

hehe u take care there!

Hey Soo Imm!
It was fun, but all of it simple almost-free fun. Not much clubbing not shopping 4 me-can't afford it!

In Msia, even if u find a good padang, there'd be no wind!

U take care too! =)
