It's raining now. Actually, it has been raining the whole day! Today is my 4th day back. The weekend has been great, going out with family and friends, catching up, sharing jokes and games, etc.! Everything is good and I thank God for that!
Today, I am just kinda stuck at home, waiting for the opportunity to go out. I still can't drive out by myself yet and here it is not like in Melbourne where you can just walk out and go wherever in the city or tram/train to wherever out of the city. Talking about that, I will share this plan of mine to just one day sit on a tram/train and just travel wherever the whole day.. it will definitely be fun.. as long as it is not in a rainy day I suppose.
The internet here in my house has been much better, with much more stable connection. But I wonder why it is such a difficult thing for the videos to be buffered. Watching a 40sec video in YouTube would take like, 5mins, AND the buffering has not even reached half O.O! Been accustomed to how the videos got buffered so easily in Melbourne, haha so yup, can't really watch any videos other than reading blogs, getting updated with tech stuffs and facebooking! And chatting of course, but at the moment, can't really chat with anyone so I decided to blog. Had the feel to blog on Sunday night but i ended up dozing off in front of the comp and when I got up a short while later, I lost the feel and just went to bed, haha
The trip back from Melbourne via Singapore was good. And I realised, going on quite a long trip sure will have some interesting stories for people (I put here 'people' because I think mine was not that interesting or not that many). It is fascinating (for me) looking at the people around you like when you're queueing up to be checked in in the airport. And boy for me it was a very very long line especially how there were only 2 counters opened O.O! Singapore Airlines, I think I can understand your perhaps intention, on encouraging people to do online checking by having 3 counters for it, but it was not enough for the people that did not! Thank God after a while (actually, close to about an hour later), the First Class and Business Class counters started letting the Economic people (Class-ists >=/!!) to check in there.
And I now realised I really like to observe people especially when I am passing time like in the lines at passport counters, boarding gates, luggage claim area, etc. as I wait. Human interactions fascinates me XD
I actually thought of blogging about the interesting stuffs that happen to me during my trip back but I now kinda forgotten the stuffs and only remember one or two. So I will see if my memory comes back as I type.
One thing interesting (for me), was when I had my passport checked in Melbourne Tullamarine Airport:
The officer just held up my passport with the page of my personal details and a photo of me opened and stared at me, pretty much scrutinising my face, for like, half a minute? Well maybe not that long but it did feel so and I just smiled back a bit sheepishly I think, then after that the officer just stamped on my passport (with quite a force) and handed me back my passport, while still keeping that face of his that looked as if I am actually an imposter or like, just trying to cheat him or something, haha! So that was a first for me, and I understand and am okay with it since the passport photo was taken 4 years ago and I think I looked a bit different now, especially with my long hair? haha!
And here a photo I found from Google:
This is something you will see on the highway on the way to the Melbourne Airport. On Tullamarine Highway if I am not wrong. I like the wavy thingy. I have been travelling passed it at night times so I did not get the chance to take a good picture of it. So thanks Google! And I will state here that the photo(s) is/are not mine! I am not trying to get money out of this so fly off, legal vultures!! hahaha
Oh and it is sunny now! hmmm quite a nice weather.. I think I have written quite a lot. I can't think of any other interesting stuffs that happened on my trip back other than that I sat between 2 people during my 7hours something flight to Singapore and I sat at the aisle seat but at the last row on my way back home.
I also watched a few movies while on the flight to Singapore. Like District 9, Mary and Max, and A Chinese Odyssey Part 1. I only finished watching District 9 but the other 2:
Mary and Max: I find it interesting though I ended up falling asleep halfway through it (I was sleepy already) but it is an interesting story of a little Aussie girl, Mary, writing to this stranger living in New York City and they hit off well as pen pals in the 80s. And it is interesting as well because you get to know more about the cultures in both countries!
A Chinese Odyssey Part 1 - Pandora Box: is a very famous classic comedy take on the Journey to the West story starring Stephen Chow and that was the first time I actually watched it though I have known about it for quite some time already. Now that I remember again, when I get back to Melbourne I will *coughs* to watch it! hahaha
and
District 9: I find it not bad and interesting. Though some part or elements of the story are not really original. You can say that they are borrowed from this movie:
Yup.. The Fly: "Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid". A classic famous horror movie. Haha I am stretching this post even longer now! I will end it with this:
I want to play this(!!):
hahaha which I am hoping to be able to go out with my cousin(s) to play this in an hour's time!
Only managed to play a bit yesterday =(
Don't think I would forget. I got all the photos from Google Photos! And I will copy and paste it here:
I will state here that the photo(s) is/are not mine! I am not trying to get money out of this so fly off, legal vultures!! hahaha

Hi Ronan! I like people watching too. =) Sometimes I chuckle at the things I observe/discover, and then I wonder if someone else is observing me thinking I'm crazy!
Hi Xiao! hahaha the observer gets observed!
it will be funny looking at that someone else that is observing you chuckling thinking you're crazy!
then someone else observing me chuckling at that other someone else that is observing you chuckling thinking you're crazy will think i'm crazy!
and someone else will chuckle at that someone else observing me chuckling at that other someone else that is observing you chuckling thinking you're crazy thinking i'm crazy!
hahaha i would go on but i will save you the agony =D!
in conclusion, we'll all end up observing other people observing other people observing other people observing other people.... XD!
