Oh what a view...SEF free show!!! after the movie night

i know this is kinda wicked..and inhumane..But i had a bloody good laugh..i thought U the world should see. =)

thanks to my panasonic fx-9 and the ever universal blu tac which mounted the camera to the window pane while we switched off the lights and peeped through.



sigh i thought it would go all the way but the flatmate just had to come out and get water...wtf...
what a Make out...

Joel or Joel?

there are 2 ways of pronouncing my name..

1) in british english, it is pronounced as,

hear it

yeah it sounds like a jo with a hint of "L" At the back more like how you say jolok but you minus off the "ok'

2) in french its pronounced as jo-el. like Really!!!
so which is it? back home in malaysia, my Name would be jo-el since i was smallEE... this is mainly caused by the countless times my parents was frustrated and needed me to run errands or for me to pick up after myself. so they call me JOOOOO-ELLLLL. i guess its nicer to shout my name with 2 syllables.

Well. in australia..when i introduce myself as jo-el, they would be, "huh? joel?". so if you dont know me N youre a caucasian (cauc + asian, hahahhahaha, guess all you fuckers are asians too!!) from the commonwealth. call me joel and not jo-el if you want to. Blah!

if you know me well enough and you dont feel embarassed to shout my name in french "JO-EL" by all means go ahead because thats my name i answered to since i started pooping in my pampers. MISS those dayss.....

But either one ill answer too...heck but i think i like french, french toast, french fries, french loaf, french dressing, french kiss, french maid, french .... anymore french stuff??maybe YOU can help.

surfed at torquay beach, Happy St. Patricks Day!!

Torquay Beach


















I finally managed to learn how to surf and stand on the board and ride a wave.. although not a very big wave..but still. Jc and I joined the monash sport day trip to torquay to surf and to visit bells beach, somewhere after geelong.

me and the surfboard. Its 8 feet 6 inches. Long boards are used to surf straight, shorter ones are for style surfing.



Bells beach. One of the most famous surfing beaches in australia. The ripcurl pro surfing festival will be held here during easter. Featuring surfers like Kelly Slater and Mick Fanning

Picture of Kelly Slater doing his thing


Frolicking at Bells Beach


A overhanging cliff which we were afraid of going under to take a picture. A part of the cliff might just fall down and kill us instantly. Thinking of how larnee almost died from ice pieces falling right infront of her.


Revealing perspectives


Jc first handstand!! Congrats bro!!


Marking Bells Beach. Planted my flag.

In the bus after surfing. Wished they let us surf somemore, only had about 2-3 hours of surfing.It was good fun though.


Look what we found at the parking lot of the surf retail outlets. A Porche with a bike mount...Better be some Trek bike and not some cheap made in china one.



Later that night we went to Dooleys, an irish pub for the St. Patricks Celebration. The place was packed and they charged us 5 bucks for cover. Since it was one of the nearest pub cum club to monash uni, we saw lotsa familar faces.

My surf instructor spotted me from the crowd. and i was like.. omg.. wtf are you doing here. Torquay beach was like a 2 hours drive from monash uni in clayton. Todd was studying in Mannix college, so it explains everything. He works as a surf instructor on weekends and gets paid about 20 bucks per hour. He owns 3 surfboards. 2 second hand ones which cost about 300 aud and a new one cost 600 aud. crazy..dunno where he managed to save all that money


Me, Todd and Alex


My souvenir for the day, i feel like an alcoholic!!




So now i have officially surfed dived and skied. I guess bungee and sky diving is next =)

meeting death

hopefully Bearing shades of gray
when everything turns grey
tunneled vision
best if it doesn’t hurt
when you hit the dirt

what happens in the last few seconds?

Reminiscing the past? flashes Of memories like a movie fast forwarded?

Would you be,
filled with regrets? hopes? love? anguish?

did you presence in your lifetime influence others?
for the better or the worse?

did you meet all your ambitions?
were you content with what you had?

have you said your goodbyes?
have you pardoned and been pardoned?
have you lived your life?

you may meet him soon, you might meet him Now

at the final gathering,
sighs and mourns shouldnt exist
Instead a celebration of life that Existed
the good times, trivial moments which made life Worth living and Near misses



















could Be anyone of us...anytime.

Happy 22nd Birthday Bro

One of the few pictures with your eyes open.


Sorry for not able to celebrate your birthday with you for the past 2 years. Nevertheless you should go out and live up to you GM title.

Thanks for sticking through with me thick and thin, all the obstacles we had since highschool. Remember we met in a chess game in Form 1? and you were hugging your square school bag? hahahha.

Thanks for driving me around all the time when i was lost my license, when i come back ill be your driver ok? Thanks for being the walking textbook, following me around the police station, visiting me at the hospital and for many other occasions you were there.

And most of all thanks for being my bro and for everything you have done in one way or another, the smallest gesture or the most subtle favour or even second thoughts before doing something. Thank you for all that.

It hit me that i was leaving malaysia and going back to australia, when i said bye to you when you came over. i guess thats something

Happy bday bro, enjoy your life while you can!
