V8S YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

2007-04-23T18:42:00.000+08:00

hey guys,

The weekend was awesome!! Worked at the Placemaker's V8 end of an era challenge! Basically, it was going to be the last V8 race in Pukekohe, which is one of New Zealand's legendary racetracks. I was working as a caterer for the VIP Corporate boxes and the pit lane as well! So I got to see the racers, the VIPS and the rich and famous!

The Raceway

The VIP arrives...

We were working in one of the biggest satallite kitchens there at Pukekohe. There was the main kitchen that catered for the grandstand caterers, which was 2000 people. My kitchen was the second biggest, with over 1000 VIPs and racers to cater for.

I was working as a commis chef under one of Neopeople's head chef, Tim Edmonds. Tim was a cool as chef and he was cursing non-stop about the lack of efficiency of the front house staff. We lacked of runners, kitchen hands and the fucking waiters were just too pussed out to lift up a hot tray with a towel. We had to be in Pukekohe by 6 a.m to prepare all the ingredients set everything up.

Thats the size of the kitchen and the useless front house manager

There was heaps of car crew pits where I was working.

Hey guys,

SOrry for the late update. Its been busy nowadays. Restaurant practice has been on full forward speed for the last few days, but heck Im doing my best and I feel so damn good about it! Went to Lee Riley's 18th party at Cock and Bull Botany. Was pretty much a Howick College reunion. Here are some pictures!

ARRRGHHH FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!!

I can't load pictures. Damn it. Might have to do that sometime soon. Anyway, the good news is, I'll be cooking for the corporate VIPS during The Placemaker's V8 Supercars Challenge at Pukekohe Raceway! Woohoo and its a damn good pay as well! hahaha wish me luck for that !!

Anyway, I'm feeling real depressed during these few months. I realised one thing for a fact is that I just went through a rough breakup and things haven't been going too good for me since then. I fell in love for the first time, and the breakup wasn't expected at all.I felt heartbrokened, and that particular feeling was foreign to me. It was the first time it happened after all. I thought I got over her when I was back in KL for a few months, and it never actually struck me whether or not I've fully moved on with my life.

Till that one particular day, when she randomly messaged me on msn asking me about how I was and how the trip back worked out. We were suppose to meet up for coffee the next morning, and I was actually hoping that things could patch up, and to think I was saying that I've fully moved on with my life.

Then she messaged me. and the content of the message struck me hard. I was heartbrokened, again. She cancelled the meet-up, because she reckons her boyfriend does not trust her that much to allow her to see her exs. That was her excuse, and she said she does not want to put their relationship. It hit me hard, and it made me kindda realise a real important issue about me then. I was actually living in the past. I was hoping for something that I will never be able to get.

You know what Jen? I know this is going to sound so rude to everyone but FUCK YOU!!
You were my true first love, and you broke my heart the day you lied and said you loved me when you didnt. I'm not gonna get my hopes up anymore. Im not gonna be the dumb fool living in his past while waiting for something impossible to happen. Its time to move on with my life. Its gonna be hard work, but I know I gotta do it.

WORST WEEKEND EVER.

2007-04-12T10:40:00.000+08:00

FRI NITE:

Mike from tech had drinkups at his place, so I decided to go cuz I haven't seen that fool for ages so I took a drive because Kerrin was already there and he didn't want to drive due to alcohol influences. Chilled there for abit, had a whole load of trash talk with the boys. It was an all good boys nite, until we decided to cruise to town just for the fun of it. That trip cost me heaps as well. Came back to find the beloved car GONE!!!! No use talking about it, because its gone, and I don't have insurance, because I was getting it done after the easter weekend!! So fuck that!

Sat:

Went down to Hibiscus Coast to check a Levin out with Kerrin, Ioane, and Spenser. Was a decent buy for Spenser because the car was in a prett mint condition. Went down to Victoria Market after that because Ioane needed his chinaman glasses and I needed a new cap, considering my old cap, uniform and jacket was STOLEN WITH THE FUCKING CAR. Gosh I am so fucking frustrated right now!! Anyway, had a couple of Js there and felt pretty baked after that. Scored myself a stussy cap =). Dad called when I was there and I told him what happened. Got one helluva scolding from the pops. Decided to head down to Kez's place after that for drinkups and chill around. After that, Kez was heading off to Lee's place for drinkups, and I had to head out to meet my HBC mates anyway. So fucked off to Cock and Bull for drinks with Simeon, Jack and Ben. Met Kylie and Lareece there and we decided to hit town for the drum n bass gig in Fu Bar!! I currently hold the record of the oldest girl hookup when I got with ........

JOE

No Pics because I was kindda wasted when I did it, and I really wasn't interested in girls that are WAY older than I am. The conversation went like this:

Joe: So sweetie how old are u?
Tristo: How old do you think I am?( Best thing to say!)=P
Joe: Hmmmmm, you look lik UR 25 (*Fucking bitch do I look THAT FUKING OLD!*)
Tristo: hmmmmm...urrrrrrrrrrrr :o
Joe: Don't wry sweetie, Im not that old, Im only a yr older than u are!(*GASPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP*)

ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL!!!!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHA WHAT THE FUCKK!! Im telling you, she looks like shes no older than 20!!!!!!

OHHHH YEAHHHH YOU GO TRISTO!!!!!!!!!!

Overall, it was a good nite indeed :)

I need more pictures. time to put my phone to great use!

This 2 weeks have been the laziest weeks of my life. All I do is get blazed, eat and sleep. I need to get a new hobby. SIGHHHHHHHHH. Time to blog more often then!!!!!!!!

Sex on a plate tart =)

2007-04-02T23:08:00.000+08:00

Hey guys,

This is my first recipe posting ever, its awesome and the name was given by my head chef Craig Lucas, because it was just marvellous =) Enjoy!!

"Sex on a plate" warm apple tart.
Serves: 4

500 grams of sweer short pastry
5 tbsp(tablespoons) of pecans,chopped
3 each of : Granny Smith apples, peeled and cut into semi-thick wedges
Blached off in red wine sauce
Red wine & Caramel sauce

Directions:
1)Preheat oven to 180 c
2)Roll out the pastry to 30mm thick and line four tart moulds approx. 7cms x 1.5cms
3)Blind bake by half
4)Line the bottom of each mould with generous amounts of chopped pecans. Place approx. 8 wedges( according to the way you're cutting it) and then spread the red wine & caramel sauce evenly
5)Bake the tarts for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the moulds and serve immediately.
6) To serve, place an apple tart in the centre of each plate. Spoon some red wine and glaze the tart, while serving it with vanilla ice-cream on the side =)

Variations:

You could use a shallow cake tin mould, instead of making a few smaller ones.
You could use apple slices as a topping for the ice cream.

Red Wine & Caramel Sauce

Ingredients:

250mls of red wine
400 grams of sugar
1 tbsp of butter
1 tsp of vanilla essence

1) Place the wine in a small saucepan and simmer for 20 minutes, or until reduced to 1/8 of a cup
2) Place the sugar in a medium-sized heavy-based saucepan.gently melt the sugat over medium low heat until golden brown and caramelised.
3) Add the butter and vanilla essence cook for 2 minutes
4 Add red wine reduction to a caramel and whisk until smooth.
5) Important!! Add cream in order to make the sauce thinner, as the sauce tend to thicken up like rock when cool. So add in gradual amounts of cream. A good suggestion would be 100ml.

Enjoy!!!!!

Olla. I am Fernandooooooooo.

2007-04-01T19:23:00.000+08:00

Sup guys.

Fuck its been a while, so I reckon I should enlighten you about the current situation in my life right now. Course is going ok, people there are friendly and great ecspecially my lecturer Craig Lucas. One helluva pot head I tell you. Always keen for a session that guy! Anyway, yeahhh been passing my course with merits and work is going on pretty good as well. Busy, but still tolerable.

My everyday routine for the last four weeks was :-

1) Waking up at 12.

2) Session at 1

3) Restaurant production at 2

4) Restaurant production finishes at 8. Drive home or car-pool

5) Shiraz or Cock&Bull Bar at 9

6) Session at 11 ish.

7) 1 ish- KO

Thats been about it I guess. Life as a chef. Damnnit. Have a cry about it Tristo.

BTW, have anyone of you guys seen this video about the UPM students on YOUTUBE? Its last year's issue but check it out.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOp_o07cflE

No wonders why heaps of parents prefer to send their kids overseas or to a private college if they can afford it. Is this the level of intelligence we're expecting from a bunch of university students? Especially Abdul Manaf Ariffin. He shouldn't be called a student union leader, but he should be called a fucking barbarian. Has he not heard of the saying "leadership starts by setting up a good example"? What a fucking douchebag. No wonders why most of this people are jobless when they graduate. Instead of utilising their time wisely in UPM to study, they're too busy showing off their pride with large number of supporters and bullying the minority. This is not a racial comment. I reckon its just this uncivillised people that shouldn't be allowed into uni in the first place.

They can't even respect other people's personal space and worst of all, they're shouting like a bunch of hooligans which make them no different than the school-dropouts or even gangsters. I'm sure even gangsters don't shout unnecessarily. This bunch of fucking cunts give Malaysia, which is suppose to be a peaceful multi-racial country a bad name. shame on you wankers.

Anyways, that's all for me this time. Hope to hear from you guys soon! This are some new pics !

quite a while its been actually

2007-02-22T18:36:00.000+08:00

hello there,

Finally returned to New Zealand after a long, enjoyable holiday. Sorry for not telling you guys that I left!! I was on the waiting list and I wasn't sure when I was leaving!! Sorry.

Anyway, classes started last week. Started off with orientation, then introduction to the kitchen. Got a new lecturer, named Craig Lucas. He recently left the industry and was an exercutive head chef for a restaurant. Got my new knife kit, and my uniform. Currently enjoying my course so far. Its been great settling down to the good ol laidback lifestyle. LOL.

Gotta get my life sorted. Damn it Tristo, wake up, move your ass and start working!!!

goneballs.

2007-01-16T15:51:00.000+08:00

hello,

Its been a while, actually its been kindda a really long time since I last updated you clowns so I guess I should be doing so. Hols been awesome so far, meeting up with family, ol friends and juz chilling around. Thank god for hols. My daily routine has been the same for the past 4 weeks and I doubt its gonna change anytime soon. Eat-Smoke- Go out- Chill out - Sleep is all I've been doing for the past 4 weeks. Damn it. Gotta change that routine soon.

The past 4 weeks have been awesome, started off with Velocity KL, where no one in the room was sober. Good shit. After Velocity, came New Year's. Joke of the year -Shermaine Wong. hahahahahahahhahahhaa personal joke. Then after Velocity came the 4 Dicken's reunion at Sri Kdu followed by dinner at Penang Cafe. After, was the form 5 group reunion at Oasis, Bangsar where the bill was amazingly expensive considering the amount and quality of food ordered. Pina Colada was nice and appealing though.

Its been awesome meeting new people as well . Met Fahmy, Matt, Eugene, Nicola, Manda and others during the past 4 weeks. They've played an awesome role in making my hols better!!

Anyway, enough of updating, back to my soap operas. taters.

Bounce with it, Drop with it, lean with it rock with it

2006-11-26T07:02:00.001+08:00

hey guys,

Its been a while since I updated you guys so I thought it'll be nice to do that. So far things are great since its finally spring-summer!! I can finally wear my favourite surf shorts and my
jandals!! Just get the board ready and we're off to Piha for a surf!! Ultimate kiwi lifestyle. Ohh well I'm just enjoying my hols and I can't wait to get back to KL! Glad that its finally over for us, and its time for me to move on. Its depressing and frustrating, but I guess only time can heal it. Its a lesson well learnt.

10 days Countdown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bounce with it, Drop with it, lean with it rock with it

2006-11-26T07:02:00.000+08:00

2006-11-12T17:04:00.000+08:00

Hey guys.

Its been a while since I last updated, so I'll just briefly fill you guys up with some details and updates about my life. School term's ending in 2 days and I'm gonna be staying here for a bit to enjoy a lazy holiday ( Surfin, Boozin, Suntanning, Clubbin ). Its gonna be maadddddddd!! Senior Honours ceremony is this Tuesday night, and I'm getting a gold award in Hospitality! Finally my first golden achievement after 18 years of my life!!

Its been depressing and frustrating for the last few weeks, but things are starting to settle down and they're definitely getting better now. I've been a little occupied with my work (hospitality) which is good because it gets my mind off matters. But I definitely wanna thank those who have been there for me when I needed them. Thanks guys!!

Hey guys.

Woke up at 6 yesterday and had to be in school by 7. Started preparing my pizza and had to leave by 7:45 to Erickkson Stadium because we were running late already. Had a few others finish up for me. Got there, got changed into my uniform and started cooking. The 7 of us, ( Daniel, Alan, Schalk, Craig, Steph, Queenie and myself) worked under exercutive chef Gordon Campbell, who is the president of The Chef's Association of New Zealand. It was such an awesome experience. Learnt how to handle pressure in a commercial kitchen, how to work efficiently, different techniques of searing, and others as well. We finished cooking for 80 people by 12:30. Don't have any pictures of the food because I was too busy to take pictures. Oh well. '

Some of the fools I worked with, and those serving as well

On lighter note, I won first prize in the pizza category at the static image competition during the Employment Expo at Erikkson Stadium!! wooooooo!!!! Here's some pictures!!

Look here suckers!!

Sorry for the lack of updates guys, been real busy lately. Couldnt load any pics up because I was staying with a temporary homestay. They were pretty cool people, but I'm glad I could finally move back to my old crib. Here's some pics of the pets and the surroundings.

Meet Joseph. My favourite cat so far. Fucking adorable.

Meet Farrah. One of the friendliest dog I've ever encountered. Meet Brody. ADD Cat. Gotta be in interaction with a human being at all times

The family was awesome, real sporting and they actually communicate pretty well with me as well. But nothing beats being back at the old place, not having to share the bathroom, I can practically come home when ever I want. Oh well to cut things short, its good to be home. =)

The King and The Queen =)

Chicks that speak Spanish are so fucking sexy. Trust me. =)

Its beeeen a whileeeee....

2006-08-16T14:43:00.000+08:00

I foundddd you, Miss new booooty!

2006-07-30T13:58:00.000+08:00

hey guys,

This weekend was pretty awesome. Came home early on Fri because party got shut down early by the cops. On Sat, met up with Aaron at about 1 with Jon. Went for coffee at Mccafe. We sat there and chatted for ages man. We were talking about how bitchy life is, but how much you gotta love it. Then Clive and Kerrin joined us for a bit. After that, decided to gap the scene back to my new plc to watch Tokyo Drift. Stopped half way to get our fish and chips. After the movie, went to Union Rd to meet up with Jeff and others. Brad, Keenan and Jason were there as well.

After waiting for about 1 hour for LB, we finally got moving to Beachlands for Scott's 18th. Arrived there after 20 mins. Half the world was there. Met people I haven't seen for ages there. Saw Dane, Korbin, Donyin, Kurt, Kyle, and others as well. Met this pretty fine girls from Macleans College there. They were mates with Jack. Hanged out with them the whole nite with Jack and Zane. The party was awesome! Everyone was busy chatting, drinking and dancing! But party kindda stopped when Kyle got bottled by some random dude. So we gapped the scene with Jack, Viola, Danielle and Jen. Drove to this Macleans party but it was over when we got there. So we decided to call it a nite and gapped home drunk. lol

Sunday.

Woke up and had a shower because I had to be at Jack's at about 12. Jack was suffering from a lil hangover. Ben was already there when I got there. We went for Spitfire roast and then just kicked back at Jack's and relax because we couldn't be stuffed doing the movie/project. Then Jen came and joined us and we chatted and hanged out together. Jen speaks fluent Spanish and that is sexy! hahahahaha. SO basically that is the end of my week. This is such a boring post.

This are some pics that I was suppose to post last time.

Lisa, Cher ,Adrian and I!!!!!!

Emma, Cathy, Andi and I!!!!!!

Zane the sicko and I

Say cheese Cathy!

Au Revoir, Chiao, Taters

Sometimes I love you..Sometimes I don'ttttt!!!!!!!!

2006-07-27T12:19:00.000+08:00

hey there,

I haven't updated for a while, so I'll probably update you interesting people about what's going on in my life. Let's start with the hols. I was sick probably most of the hols, but we did get up to some fun during the hols. Went to Code during the first Thurs of the hols with Travors, Jon, Ralston, Carlo and Jodi. Saw heaps of ppl there, and we clubbed till about 6. Then the next day, Felt real sick and I was coughing till I had headaches and tummy aches. Consulted the doctor on Mon, and found out I had chest infection. So I sorta stop drinking and smoking for a bit. The rest of the week was gay because all I did was stay home, watch tv and sleep. It was a boring holiday, but couldnt help it because of the horrifying weather and it was freezing cold.

However, I did work during the hols for the hosp. department because Mrs Roberts, one of our hospitality teachers managed to get a contract on catering for a wedding. So I worked and helped prepare the finger food for the wedding. Got a few hours for that, and then the following week, we had to cater for someone's cocktail party as well. The people we catered for were filthy rich! The wife of the family works for the school, and she's a teacher. The husband in the other hand, is a chief stockbroker for ASB securities! The house was marvellously beautiful, and he had two wine cellars, and one of them were made of copper! I was doing the bar service, so I had to mix drinks and pop champagnes. We had to work from 11 am - 12 pm, but we got paid really well. All five of us got paid 200 NZ dollars each!( Craig, Queenie, Jeremy, Tarek and I ). So I guess that was worth the cramps and tiredness I had in the morning.

I've been real passionate about my work recently. Its like, I'm planning for my future already. 2 years from now, I'll be finishing my chef traning course. I'm gonna start working as a chef, and probably in the catering industry. Probably gonna start my own catering business in the future. That is a dream that will come true for me. Worked yesterday afternoon after school as well. We had to cater for the school event, because of our reputation. We did the food for the scholarship evening, and we prepared finger food. A lil brief review of what we did.

A tribute to Mohammad Danial Abbas

2006-07-17T14:13:00.000+08:00

Hey guys,

Yesterday and today weren't good days at all. Leyvin msged me yesterday evening and told me that Danial and Fei Cai(Fat boy) got into an accident. It was a case of hit and run. According to Sonia, Fei Chai died on the spot, while Danial was only found 2-3 hours later by an old lady jogging past. Those inefficient bastards, bout time they found them. Anyway, shouldn't be blaming anyone as long as he was found. Danial survived, with a few broken arms and legs, and a broken spine cord.

I couldn't believe it when I heard about it. I cried. Deep down inside, I was praying hard that he would make it through this. I heard he's in a really bad condition. I heard from Leyvin, Sonia and Sheng that he tried to pull the tubes and plugs out because he has lost the will to live due to the long insufferable pain. Hang in there Danni boy, Hang in there bro.

The thing that really saddened me is because I have been friends with Danial for almost 3 years now. I remember the first time I met him, that was at a night market together with Alvin, Aimee and Suren. I met them with Andrew. Danial was the friendliest amongst them, and he would just talk to me and he got to know me better. I remember those days, where it would be Danial, Alvin, Suren, Prasad, Ah Fu, Fei Chai, Jian Shen and I hanging out at the Sec. 17 basketball courts just chilling around, making jokes and having fun. Danial has been a real friend to me and he always made me feel belonged with the group of people although I was new. One of our few highlights of hanging out together was our bbqs at the park together. Alvin would get the food from certain people, while Danial and I would start the fire and wait for others to come. I still remember, Fei Chai would join us now and then, and we would all be laughing together about our " gangster" days. We used to have so much fun just joking around and eating together, while trying to find enough money to get us a pack of Dunnies to share together. Danial was also the first person I was eager to meet when I got back from New Zealand. We chatted and had breakfast together the next morning I got back, and we caught up with each other.

We also had our fun at One Utama, where Danial, Suren, Alvin and I used to go together to meet up with our other friends like Sheng, Leyvin and others. We would make plans for the night together, regardless if its clubbing, or even a bbq together. We spent countless amount of time at the mamak stalls near the basketball courts and have our "Teh Ais"( Ice tea) and "Milo Panas"( Hot Milo,). I still remember, that was Danial's regular drink everytime we hit the mamaks. Bottomline is, I spent alot of time with Danial, Sheng, Suren and Alvin. We were always together doing something. I still remember, when I got kidnapped and robbed by phony cops, Danial , Alvin and Suren went to look for me. They contacted our friends and uppers to find out who were the guys, and which gang they belonged to. I knew that no matter what happened, whether I was right or wrong, The boys would be there for me.

Danial my boy, I cannot express all the gratitude and thankfulness for everything you have done for me. All I can do right now is pray for your health. Don't give up on life bro, please I beg you. We will be there for you no matter what it takes, we will be there for you. You are suffering this I know, but don't forget you have us by your side. When I return, I will find you, and you can tell me everything about the nightmare you went through bro. So stay with me, and wait for me bro. Please. Hang in there my brother. Don't give up on us.

This post is a tribute to a real friend, and an associate as well. Rest in peace Fei Chai, and may the lord accept you gracefully into his kingdom. Hang in there Danial Abbas. Don't you dare lose your will to live. Don't you dare.

P.S - I hope you FUCKERS in the TOYOTA VIOS rot in hell for what you did. I hope you all suffer, and I hope you guys suffer alone and not bring anyone down with you. Because you guys are fucking irresponsible assholes that deserves only one place, which is HELL.

A tribute to dads.

hey there guys,

I hope you guys are still avidly reading this blog. Because I'm gonna try and update it more often for your reading. I was sitting in the living room today, and my homestay brought back a couple of singaporean movies their relatives sent over from Singapore. I decided to join the crew and watch " I not stupid too ". To some of you ignorant people, I not stupid too is the sequel to I not stupid, a Singaporean movie directed by Jack Neo, one of Singapore's most acclaimed director and the movie reflects on Singaporeans and their complications in life.

Thinking that its gonna be like another movie that focusses mainly on kiasuism (is a generalised term used on singaporeans that are "scared to lose") ,I didnt expect much from the movie. Instead, the movie touched my heart and I started tearing out. And for all you insensitive guys out there, what the hell is wrong with tearing out?? The movie was outstanding, with amazingly good talents, and they were emotional all right.

The story reflects on 2 different scenarios. One, parents are wealthy, but they're forever commiting themselves on their social life and work. The children are negleted, and the parents do not recognise the talents at all.

Two, The father's an ex-con, thus not able to give the best to his son. However, Both sons( 15 yrs ol') from diff families are best friends, and they have the same thing in common, THEIR PARENTS DO NOT APPRECIATE THEIR TALENTS.

However, to cut things short, as the story progresses, both the sons from diff famillies started to be influenced to being "bad" due to the lack of attention and positive appraisals. The thing that really hit me is that, both the fathers were willing to give up their lives for their sons.
My homestay told me that I'll understand when I become a father, why do fathers sacrifice themselves just for their kids.

That was exactly what my dad said to me before I left. He told me that he loved me and he wanted the best for me, and that's why I had to go. I never stopped blaming him, for taking away my life, my social life and sending me to the ONE country I never wanted to visit till I was 55. But now as the story unfolds for me, I actually understand why the old man sent me this far. He wanted the best for me. He would work and work just to make sure I had enough food to eat, enough warm clothes to wear, and so that I have a place that's comfortable to stay while he shivers in cold, tired from a long day's work, and hungry.

I hope you're reading this dad. I miss you and I love you from the bottom of my heart. I miss kisses you give me every night when I was small, and all the jokes we make about other people as well. I miss having lunches with you at our regular stalls, where you'll let me have the last piece of chicken drumstick available because you knew I loved it. For that my old man, I love you a billion tim tams ;)

This entire post is a tribute to all dads in the world. Just a question when you're reading this post. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU KISSED AND HUGGED YOUR DAD? Ask yourself that mate, and don't repeat the same mistake I did and walk away.

Kuch Kuchh Hotaaa Haiii!!!!!!!!

hey guys,

I havent been updating for ages, maybe cuz of the lack of time management that I have. Oh well can't complain mate. Its the start of hols now, and its been a pretty good term for me. Met a alot of new ppl, laughed about, had the school ball and others as well.

Went for Jake Lawton's 18th yesterday. It was pretty much a cock fest with like 6 girls there. Oh well all good i suppose. It was Carla's last day of partying as well because she will be leaving for Germany the next day. Anyways, have a pleasant journey, Carla and may god shower you with his blessings!!

Finally managed to talk to Jenna after a long time! Had a long conversation with her, and she was asking me bout Kylie. LOL . And I told her the same thing.;) Went to Burger King for a feed during the party cuz we( mua.Brad.Jeff.James.Brett.Jon) were getting the mean munchies. Saw my cousin there with his mates as well. caught up with him for a bit. After that, we met up with Genotala Schnucks( what a name for a duo) and rocked up to the same party. Partied for a bit, and then we cruised to the beach for a bit. Got kindda boring and then gapped home with Jeff and Brad.

OHYEAHHHHhh!!! Germany!!!!!!!! hahaha I love Germany wooohooo!!

On lighter note, had to go to school to cook for a wedding today. I was the only one from my class to be there, but it was all good cuz Steph and Tarek was there. We worked non-stop from 10-4 and I am so freaking exhausted! Anyway, came home and was on the phone with Caris for a bit. And now I am on the comp feeling tired and plan-less for the night. Remuera plan was cancelled. Probably gonna stay home unless Abby comes over ;)

Adios senors and senoritas!!

Booootyyyyy!!

empire strikes back!

2006-05-23T18:19:00.001+08:00

damnnit. Long have I stood there and laugh, when I suffer inside from all the humiliation you've caused me. Just because I laugh and don't do anything, it doesn't mean I don't give a shit and you can go on doing it. Can't help it, I'm like a soda bottle. you guys have shaken the bottle heaps of times, but always remember, one day when the bottle goes POP!

Before you know it, you see the worst of me. So don't push your luck. I'm not gonna stand down and keep quiet anymore. This time, I'm sure I'll talk. Damn skippy I'll talk.

empire strikes back!

hey fools!!

Saturday night was gay for me. So gay I tell you! We went skating at Meadowlands as usual. Saw this two hot chicks walking past and Zane made the dumbest bet ever. It was bout their ages! So i skated down with the boys to ask them how old they were. I thought one of them was a mom, and Zane thought she looked 19. Guess how old they were.

14 YEARS OLD.

I know. We got them all wrong. So we just laughed about it and went to KFC for a feed and drinks as well cuz we were all tired and dehydrated. After KFC, decided to cruise down to Cyber for a game of Counter Strike and DOTA! I know some of you guys will think that DOTA and CS is gay. However, there's nothing better for us to do at tht time anyway. So we buzzed out on CS and DOTA. After that, Zane and Jack had to gapped off because they were off for The Bleeders. I stayed with Jon and Aaron. We were suppose to go for this dude Liam's party. But Aaron had to gap home, and James couldn't drive because he did something with his car. So I cruised with Spenser to his girl's place, cuz this other chic was there as well. And he didn't want the other girl to be lonely ;)

Did I mention the other chick was hot. South African. ummmm Damn they turn me on ;) So we were there for ages juz chilling around. Hooked up with that chick, while he was having fun with his girl ;)

SUNDAY = Gay Day

Church was extremely long. I was loosing my patience cause the message was extremely long today for no apparent reason. Damn it. After that, went to Botany cause Jon wanted to buy a jacket, and I just love shopping ;) I bought a new hoodie ;) Aaron and Spenser picked us up and they wanted to go to Otara to get a tinnie. Those bastards. Why can't some people have fun without any drugs. We went back to Meadowlands and met Jack there cuz he was pretty keen to meet up. Had a couple of DOTA games and we all gapped the scene after that cuz we were all tired from the weekend.

I just finished watching The Sum Of All Fears. Don't you think that movie is brilliant? I just love the cast, the storyline and the scenery. Damn I gotta visit Russia some day. It just looks so beautiful! Anyways, I'm off now. Gonna need my sleep for class tomorrow. Michelle Rodriguez is hot ;)

Adios Amigous suckers!

Hour longgg feverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

2006-05-06T07:28:00.000+08:00

hey fools!

Its was one of the buzziest week I've ever had! haha I finished class early yesterday, which is right after lunch. Jack and I decided to cruise down to KFC for our regular MAORI FOOD which seems to be one of our favourites. When we were eating there, Joanna and Stephy showed up to order some food as well. Man Joanna is smoking hot I tell you! Oh well, we had a short conversation with them before we decided that we should go for a walk to Botany! BTW, to my KL friends, the distance from Howick to Botany is like from Sri KDU to One Utama! I know we're insane, but thats part of the package isn't it ;)

Well on the way, we decided tht we should just walk randomly instead of having a destination. So as usual, we got lost at this random place called Our Lady Star in The Sea Primary School ! WE decided to act retarded just to see how good our drama skills are. Well I can say that we pulled it off pretty well!!! Everyone was looking to see if we need extra help and stuff. hahahahahahaha that was so funny I tell you.

After that, had to go to Woolworths to stock up my fridge. So Jack came with me. Bought some coke and we decided to go skateboarding after that! So went home to get my deck, called Jon and off we went!! It was fun I tell you. The feeling of falling. Orgasmic. Well, we decided to eat Asian after that because Aaron the Wasian (Asian-wannabe kiwi) wanted to join us for dinner and insisted that we should eat Asian. SO we ended up eating at Duckling King. AFter that ,had a game of DOTA with Jon and Aaron, and off we went home. I guess that summarized my day :)

Its amazing how bitchy some people can be. Just because they hate someone, they have to be stupid and start a smearing campaign against the person. I'm talking bout you Ling. Don't worry, Ill be by your side and we'll get them back. This I promise you. We'll get the back good. Don't you worry.

Anyway, I'm off now. Gonna have lunch and its Skate time for Zane Christensen, Jack Herewini, Jon Chen and Tristen Won!!

Cheers suckas!

COLD TURKEYYYYYYYYYY

2006-05-02T17:49:00.000+08:00

I'VE FINALLY DECIDED THAT I SHOULD QUIT SMOKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know, I rock ;) Oh well, yeahhh I can't afford to go on with my smoking habit anymore. Its wasting too much of my money and my precious time ;) I know, bout time I quitting. oh well , never too late ;) Frankly speaking, I'm starting to hate the smell that I used to crave for :(

Anyway,
Today's another stupid random school day. Its the 2nd day since school started after a long ass 2 wk hol. So yeahhh. Caught up with heaps of ol friend. And the best part is, THE FIRST FIGHT/SCRAP IN SCHOOL YESTERDAY! First day ! Howick what! hahaha anyway, school is exceptionally boring. Luckkily, I have my friends to entertain me like Jack the Black ( He's doesnt look black, He acts black ) ,Clive the Safar, Gryska and others as well.

Too sum all these up :
I MISS MY KL FRIENDS :(

hello cunts!

2006-04-11T17:30:00.000+08:00

hey cunts !

Its been like fucking ages since I last blogged. Been really bored and busy at the same time. Fuck I know that doesn't make any sense,but fuck it. College is getting real good for me. There are many windows of opportunities there. I reckon people that say that college sucks are really pussies. Just because you can't socialise and make the best outta yourself, you call it gay. Dumb fucks. Anyway, yesterday night was awesome. The cafe was good, and the crowd was absolutely awesome. Just so you know, a cafe production is when hospitality students run an event where they prepare food for a certain event, just like a restaurant catering service. The girls from other hospitality classes were SMOKING HOT! They were all friendly as well, got some numbers from there ;)

Today wasn't too bad I guess. Was late for the 1st class because the fucking weather was ab-so-fuckin-lutely ridiculous! When I woke up and washed up, it was sunny and that was a sign of good weather. The next thing I know, when Aaron picked me up, the weather changed drastically to afucking depressin cloudy mood. Damn it! So I had to drive home to get my fucking jacket! Damn it! Anyway, after that we went for a class trip to a factory to observe the food safety programmes and make evaluation. I love class trips =) Anyway, after that had lunch with Razia, Jack and Ivy at class. We had Tikka Masala =) After that classes went on as usual and college ends ;)

New Zealand isn't that bad after all. I've been partying and having fun like every damn week . Oh well that 's what happens when you're 7th form. You get invites to all the parties, free booze, the girls and of course, the atmosphere :D But its never gonna be the same like my last year in Sri KDU . No matter what. Picture this :

1st thing I do when I reach Sri KDU is to disturb Ling and manda =)
2nd thing is to have a smoke slightly before class

The rest of the day will be spent hanging out with Nick Ng, Isa, Alex, Min Ern, KY, MJ, Ling, Shaz, Kelly, Kim, and other ppl as well;) How heavenly is that when you have nothing to worry about and life is just fine with loving ppl around you ;)

Totally not like now. Gotta worry bout what I'm gonna have for fucking dinner, whether I will have enough money this week. Damnnit I hate it ahhhh!

Adios amigos senors and senoritas. Kakanabose!
