Oh what?!?

geeeezzz I can't believe Bobby Flynn has been kicked out of Australian Idol!!!

whatt????

yes, I follow Australian Idol...I don't get to watch it every week, like the recent one that passed. Honestly, I also think it's stupid in a way.

BUT i really liked Bobby Flynn...always loved it when he came up to sing!!! really did. He's so unique and original. And just so real. You could tell his sincerity and the fact that winning Idol is not what he's there for. He's the only contestant I've really truly enjoyed watching so far.

it's a sad day. I thought he'd make it all the way, or if not, to the final 2 at least. Now I think Jessica Mauboy is going to win. She's got an awesome voice.

Better future?

When I go back to Malaysia or just meet some Malaysians here or wherever, they just go on talking about how conditions back in Msia are not good and there's just no future. Over here, things are better, no racial bias like there, better education, pension, salary, work conditions etc. My former neighbours told me today how so many people just want to come over here for a better life. There's just no future in M'sia.

Someone told me he wouldn't want to raise his kids in Msia. Kids who'd grow up and hang out by going shopping or to karaoke. His perception of settling down in this place out of M'sia was not for a better financial future but i guess for his kids to realise "what life and living in this world truly is about"....i suppose he can't stand the M'sian mentality of everything and our living in this brickworld.

What can I say? I think I'm just fortunate to have been able to come to Australia to see, hear and talk to different people with different perspectives and yeah, it's a great country, like my 2nd home. But Malaysia is a beautiful country as well and I'm just really proud of being Malaysian, even though what I know of it is not very much. It hits me sometimes...what's my focus of getting out of M'sia? it is for my future? for my life whatever life means to ME? for the future of MY kids?

What's life really about anyway? to live and be happy?

I was watching "The Apprentice" just now on tv. Honestly, I find watching it fun and entertaining but it's always all about winning to the extent of speaking upwards about oneself and dissing someone who does a bad job. People just care for themselves and pleasing and sucking up to people they need to please.

So stupid. I'd never want to be on any show like the Apprentice.

Finally!!

yayy....I'm finally a Permanent Resident of Australia as of today. To be honest, feels not much different. I'll have to go get the new visa label from Immigration, I think and I'm not sure what to do after that.

anyway, i'll email to tell my family now..
