Case of Manohara

What the hell is Malaysia doing?????

Ok, so for those who still don't know about the case, not that you want to care, but this is the issue of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!!!! Hello???? From Feminist point of view, it is believed that women have as equal power as those ascribed by men!!!!

So, once upon a time, there is a beautiful young lady wished to get happiness by marrying a price (Supposedly, it was a dream, but AHA!!! Apparently dreams come true!!!) So, there she was, met a real prince and married without any obstacles!!!

Not quite a story of Cinderella nor Snow White, apparently the princess is bewitched by nonetheless the PRINCE himself!!!!

This is what happened to Manohara, who married the prince of Kelantan (Some part of Malaysia).
She was tortured and hit if she doesn't comply to her husband. Worse, she had to portray happiness in front of public events and in the presence of media (All source credited to Yahoo Indonesia). She was kept away from her family and didn't allow to contact her family back in Indonesia. Seriously, BULLSHIT man!!!!

In the end, she managed to run away from a hotel in Singapore when they visited the father of the prince who was ill and managed to go back safely to Indonesia, so the whole "world" is fussing around!!!

Seriously, why the department of justice in Malaysia is still not yet doing anything???
No matter you are a king, prince, president whatsoever shit, domestic violence should still be treated and prosecuted fairly for whoever held responsible!!!

I am so disappointed on how the case does not progress much in Malaysia. I was studying in Malaysia for couple of years and I love the country a lot!! As much as I love it, It doesn't change the way I think about Malaysia, however I wish something more should have been done!!! I believe any empire from any states of Malaysia should judge this problem fairly!!! SO WHAT if you are a prince?? Not that you are the prince of the whole Empire!!!! This whole thing pisses me off man!!!

P.S: Girls, know your man well before you get married!!!!! Not that I know mine well either!!! :)))

Phiuhhhhhh -.-

Ooooopppps!!!!!

Ignite at Dockland

Ignite at Dockland, a kind of festival to welcome winter!!!!

Apparently it has been held since last year, but I was not here yet, so it was my first time to visit.

I went because I heard there was firework display. For my whole life, I have never watched firework display no closer than 50 meters or even further...sad, I know...
but today, the firework is set from boats in the harbor in Dockland. It was very exciting!!!!

I saw this guy with light bulbs surrounding him. He was the MC apparently..Whooopsss :)



Some lion stuffs..don't know what this guy is doing walking around :)



Preparation for Pyrophone Juggernaut performance.



One of the performances that really entertained me is performance by Sticks, Stones, Broken bones.

This puppet master has a very unique way of bringing up his shadow puppet to live..
Here is a short clip from few performances tonight.





You can also video the firework video that I took in Youtube under Ignite at Dockland firework :))

My Year Without Sex

Yay!!!!Finally I went to watch Australian movie My Year Without Sex using my in-season tickets THANKS TO NUFFNANG of course!!!!!

So I went with my boyfriend (in this cold weather) to NOVA cinema, Carlton. I guess NOVA cinema specializes in screening Australian local movie. I thought it was quite small, but actually it was not bad!!! :))) It was my first time to visit NOVA cinema...LOL and apparently the atmosphere is very Aussie :))

Me, queuing for exchanging the ticket with one complementary ticket...



and I ve got the tickets....



I used flash, hence can't see the details of the tickets :(

The experience of watching movie in NOVA has been fairly impressive for me..
Although it is not as big as other cinema like HOYTS
or VILLAGE but the Aussie atmosphere is there...

I realized there were a lot of elderly went to watch movies, which are really sweet...They are enjoying their Friday night with beloved husband and definitely looked happy.

My Year Without Sex is directed and written by Sarah Watt, starring Matt Day
and Sacha Horler.



This movie will suit family which reflects reality of family issues that commonly happened to middle-class family consists of parents with two young kids.

Normal everyday concern starting how to pay the bills, splitting responsibility of taking care of two young kids with husband working only while the wife is sick.

There will always be something to fight about when you have a family of your own. Distress about how you think your husband is not taking responsibility on housekeeping issue and how to manage your limited financial ability, etc. This is where the relationship between husband and wife being tested. Is sex the only matter in married couple relationship???

If you are curious, watch this movie, especially if you are international people who want to know more on Australia culture (footy :)) and typical family life, you should watch as well.

Go to http://myyearwithoutsex.com/ for more info including trailer..

I will really encourage people to watch as it is funny, witty, and touchy :))

Hope you will enjoy watching it :))

N.B: It has been screening since 28th May 2009 (only at selected cinemas across Australia)

After the movie, approximately 90 minutes, we went down to Piazza Italia, what else if not Lygon st????!!!!!

Went to Cafe Cavallino and ordered pasta and pizza (I don't remember what I ordered, but if you look at the pasta session, there are only few choices for seafood pasta) and the seafood pastas are really lovely :)



Me waiting for the beloved pizza and pasta to come





Plus Pizza!!!! I haven't been eating pizza for ages!!!!! G!!!!!



Go watch the movie people!!! and chill out at Lygon st afterwards :))

Chinese Money Tree

Hahahahahaha!!!! What is so funny???

I just lied that I will not blog for the next few days…but here I am, coming out with new post instead of writing my final project proposal….Ahh, I shall feel guilty by now..

Anyway, I came out with idea of blogging today because………………..
I went to IKEA yesterday to buy some stuffs to fill the HUGE empty space in our new unit with my boyfriend…
Bought some household stuffs…and I bought this umbrella that only cost $2.95!!!!


Cheap right??? DON'T BE FOOLED!


I went to the counter and guess what???
The original price was 6.95….It will be $2.95 only when it is ACTUALLY RAINING outside!!!!

It is sooooooooooooooo RIDICULOUS!!!!
That is what happens to people who don’t read the small fonts underneath the gigantic magical value $2. 95!!!!! Terms and condition apply…
But I need new umbrella anyway…

So, I wanted a plant!!! Just popped up in my mind when we were browsing around…
I wanted to make the house more alive..more greeny…so, we decided to have this Chinese money tree…





it only costed me $8.50 + $ 3 ++ for the pot...:0

I remembered I used to see it a lot in my grandma’s house. Apparently, Chinese people believe It will bring luck and during Chinese New Year, my grandma will accessorize it with lots of ornaments hanging on the plant’s leaves…

And out of sudden I remembered my history of having pets when I was younger…

I used to have fish in my mini aquarium and the next day, the fish somehow managed to fly off and suffocated on the floor, in addition, my mum half-stepped on it early in the morning…Too dark to notice it was flapping on the floor…-________-


I also had chicken before…and they also died before growing up to be true mature chicken..-____-

After that, I had beach snails…stole it from somewhere and next time I knew, it sneaked out from its “house” that I built, and eaten by some bigger “who-knows-what” bugs or animals in my house…..


After that, I got myself a proper pet, hamster!!!! It was so cute and I named it happy…but I guess it was not happy enough that after couple of months..It ran away from the cage and I couldn’t find it anymore...That was sad…and I had another two given by a friend but they suffered from disease before they were given and died next day…


HOW COME ALL THE “PET” I HAD RAN AWAY????????

So, I decided to have a plant instead, besides its efficiency (only require water) and don’t need to walk or play with it every time, no hairs flying around, and no issues with landlord or agency. GOOD, at least that’s what I think.
I know taking care of plant needs passion and patience and so, I will try my best to keep it alive…:)


N.B: I wish someone could advice me on how to take care of this Chinese money tree…

Busy busy busyyyyyyy~~~~

I have neglected my blog for soooooooooooo many days I believe...
Giving all the blame to my hectic schedule of moving, working and assignments for the past few days..
I had to work 5 days a week for the past week, I had to move within one day, there was no electricity and Internet will only be made available by next week, I had 2 assignments due with only 2 days gap..!!!!
I had been traumatized by all that and so, I have to postpone blogging and all that because I don't even have time to shit!!!

I even injured myself because of my hectic week and have been swearing at anything I can swear at!!! (Not really, I am not a swearing type of person) :))))

So, I am assuming that I can blog properly after Monday, 25th because I have like MAJOR assignment to submit and believe me this one is HUGE!!!!!

Anyway, wish me luck k!!!!!!

Enjoy your weekends people!!!! xxx

I've got new home!!!!! + Ticket to watch MY YEAR WITHOUT SEX

After my days and days of agonizing, headache, body-ache, days feel like years of deep depression!!!!! Ok, I am exaggerating a little bit here...but can you imagine being asked to move out within 30 days when you are showered by assignments and part-time work?????

Most importantly, you have to depend on yourself coz there is NOONE there to help!!!!
Well not really, there were people offering help, from friends, which I appreciate very very much!!!! Thanks heaps :)))

The thing is, I want to stay in the city cos obviously I don't drive and can't...Don't laugh at me!!! Ok, I don't care if you laugh your head off...Anyway, staying in city is much more convenient for me and more entertaining...rather than cold suburb...(I don't intend to offend anyone staying suburb)...

I prefer the atmosphere in the city and public transport in city to my uni and work is so much convenient, especially I work early in the morning....

After days and days or I shall say feel like YEARS....I lodged two applications and I got back good new from one!!!!! Name me lucky!!!! I have tips for those who are looking for ways to impress real estate agency, but won't reveal now..xxx

Oh, I am not gonna be homeless anymore...HAHAHHAHA!!!! Maybe I shouldn't laugh first...OOoops.....

Anyway, I got ticket to watch MY YEAR WITHOUT SEX from Nuffnang!!!! Thanks heaps to Nuffnang!!!!

I tried the first attempt but I was too late...So I tried the second chance and I got it!!! Woohoooooo!!!!

They gave the chance for the first 20 bloggers to email them first and they could lay their hand on the pre-screening ticket for the movie and It was too late for me by the time I checked my email...:(

No worries, they gave second chance for the first 30 bloggers to email Nuffnang to get the In-season ticket...still not too bad right?????



Still in neatly-sealed envelope....



Upon opening......



I have two of them...So I am gonna drag my boyfriend along...muhaHAHHAHA!!!



What it says...



I don't look as convincing ye???Hmmmm....

and here is the trailer for you to check out :))



So, If you say you are proud to be Australian, you should support Australian Film-making industry and go for the movie!!! I like the movie AUSTRALIA anyway..


Did I forget to mention the movie will be up by 28th of May 2009???
