I worked on my project until morning yesterday (rush!), didn’t realize it was sunrise until I heard birds chirping outside my room.

The birds chirp louder than usual, I decided to take a short video to show to you. I want to do some short video projects. That should be fun, hmmm

Brisbane market is the largest fruit and vegetable supermarket in Brisbane.

This market only opens 3 days a week, and two hours for each session. Very lan si one! This is supposedly a wholesale market specially opened for restaurant owners and small-sized fruit stores. The market only opens to public when “bigger players” done with their purchases.

Fruits and vegetables here sells in a fucking cheap price, especially in-seasoned ones.

We are only allowed to drive 20km/h inside the car park area – many big trucks are constantly in moving. My grandmother can walk faster than truck, hahaha. But it’s a good practice nevertheless.

One thing I admire about the culture of Australia, they obey rules – especially road speed limit. If you drive 40km/h in this area, they will point middle finger at you.

Like this : “NAH” t(-_-t)

Jerry came to this market few months ago. His experience is bit different. He claims he had troubles navigating this market because it was packed with people and huge boxes of fruits and vegetables. People don’t use plastic bags to purchase their items – they use trolleys.

Why trolleys? You look at these photos, then you will understand.

All items are sold in HUGE BOXES! I don’t know how to buy watermelon here leh… hahahaha.

From top right (clockwise) – orange, onion, watermelon, apple, mango and tomato. My dad will be delighted if they sell durian in boxes. He probably will look at me and say “son, my life is complete.” Hahahhaha. He really goes crazy with durians. I probably go crazy with girls (hehe)

The price are usually written on floor with chalk. Very effective and dirt easy solution don’t you think? The unit of measurement is “per box”. If you ask him “how much are you selling this per kilo?” They give you the same respond again..

“NAH” t(-_-t)

We wanted to buy sooooooooooo many things, the dirt cheap price makes every thing so tempting! Even for the vegetables we don’t like! I am a sucker for cheap stuffs, heh. The problem is, we are not able to consume everything in short period of time.

However, we are not going back empty handed.

Bing: “We must buy something”

Jerry: “I agree. Even if we can’t finish the food, we must buy! I don’t care!”

Bing: “Yaloh yaloh. We can share with friends mah. Next time we plan another trip again, and we drive lorry.”

We didn’t spend time hunting for the best price – all the fruits and vegetables offers similar price. We look for the fruits that LOOKED THE BEST. lol.

I chose honeydew, can make honeydew sago. yummy yummy. Guess how much this box of honey dew cost?

$8. Fucking EIGHT BUCKS.

In Coles, they are selling half honeydew for $1.85 – ridiculous!

Jerry chose a box of mango. The price is $18.

In normal fruit stores, its not rare to see price goes up to $3-$4 for one mango. $18 for 12 mangoes? SAP SAP SUI lahhh!!

We wanted to buy more – but we had problem carrying the heavy boxes around. So we ended our session abruptly. We swear we will return with a trolley next time, along with a lorry. Heh heh..

(I had to take this shot, can’t help it)

I HAVE BIG BALLS HAHAHA

Few days after I bought my new camera, LUMIX LX3, Jerry was deeply in love with the camera. He wanted to learn so much about photography, and he almost purchased a camera in one point.

I told him to learn more from Khai, because Khai has the necessary equipments and gears to let Jerry experience more before deciding to hop into this new hobby.

Jerry meets Khai -> Khai lends camera -> Jerry wants experiment -> We went to driving range

Khai (dark shirt) is new to golf. We literally deflowered his golf virginity. Hahaha. However, Khai shows great potential in golf swings – he swing further than any newbie despite his silly stance. First swing can reach 75ft! WTF.

Vincent (white jacket) played a few times with us before. He is getting grasp of the swing, which is good Thanks to Jerry’s awesome tutorial – where Jerry learn everything from Youtube. Hahaha.

Jerry with his pre-swing pose. Looked so pro right! I wonder how many girls fall for him after seeing this photo. This shot is awesome ya? You know why? it’s obvious that this photo was taken by me

Bukan saya mau bilang nama la… this guy is the pro-est among them >:)

But, I got THE pose, but I don’t swing correctly.

One of my friends once said:

“It doesn’t matter whether you hit the ball or not, having the perfect swing matters the most.” ( 不打中没关系，最重要有姿势！)

If you did not hit the ball. Do this -> turn back.. and smile like Korean star

…and say “Haha, that was a good practice swing!”

Not everyone knows, the Brisbane sand storm hit two times. When the storm hits for the first time, I was lucky to be at home.

Unfortunately, the second time when it hits, I was in a car driving back home from Gold Coast. It was midnight and  the visibility was low, we cannot see anything further than 20m. Lucky enough, we reach home without a scratch.

Mr Q’s car was covered with dust. He need to wash his car. That became our activity for weekend. Hehehe.

He almost cried when we draw silly things on his car. “WOIIII you going to scratch my car!” we continuing draw while laugh, lol.

We went to a Malaysian restaurant called Yahoo. We were very addicted to the food those few weeks. I remember going to this restaurant 5 times a week, for lunch!

I took soooo many photos, until some point, I didn’t bother to take photo anymore.

Yahoo provides the most authentic Malaysia cuisine in Brisbane. No other Malaysia restaurant come closer to that. The food is not only authentic, it’s delicious too!

Can’t wait to go back Malaysia and eat char kuey tiaw ^^;

“老板, zomok 你的炒粿条这样小碟的？给我加大加蛋，两碟！shit!” (用鬼佬腔)

I was wondering, where can I eat 炸豆腐 at Kota Kinabalu?

After our meal at Yahoo, Jerry was covered with sweat. Why? He has extraordinary sensitive sweat gland, especially when he consume spicy food (maggie curry also considered spicy). He ate little sambal, and his forehead was sweating like waterfall man…

“唔點， 我一定要吃冰！！”

We walk out from restaurant, walk 10 steps. Ta daaa!! We reached a dessert restaurant. Haha.

5 people share 2 bowls of dessert. Hmm *sniff sniff* I smell gay. lol. I love that dessert shop, always jammed pack with with leng lui.

Shit! (鬼佬腔 again)

We were so fucking full after eating the desserts (profanity used – I need to emphasize how full we are). We drove to a new car wash destination. Only people who owns car know such secretive place.

Kampung zai like me hardly drove a car in Brisbane. I can proudly tell you I have not explore 50% of Brisbane. If you kidnapped me and dump me at any roadside at Brisbane – I probably get lost and starve to death.

Vincent looks so damn cool when he is wearing HAK CHIU (sunglasses). When he takes off his HAK CHIU, Pei Ling falls in love with him. Hahaha sorry this confuses the readers. Recently this sei zai bao pak toh already. I have to congratulate him!

I feel happy to see another couple emerge from our circle of friend. Hope they take good care of each other and always scrub each other *ahem*

And I want to see little Vincent running around next time I come Australia!! “Uncle uncle!!” wa seh.

I am going back Malaysia in less than 10 weeks time! ^^

While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 year old son picked up a stone and scratched lines on the side of the car.

In anger, the man took the child’s hand and hit it many times not realizing he was using a wrench.

At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures.

When the child saw his father….. with painful eyes he asked,

‘Dad when will my fingers grow back?’

The man was so hurt and speechless; he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times.

Devastated by his own actions…… sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches; the child had written ‘LOVE YOU DAD’.

The next day that man committed suicide. . .

Anger and Love have no limits; choose the latter to have a beautiful, lovely life & remember this:

Things are to be used and people are to be loved.

The problem in today’s world is that people are used while things are loved.

Let’s try always to keep this thought in mind:
Things are to be used,
People are to be loved.

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character;
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

Things are to be used; People are to be loved. is a post from: http://www.ahbing.com

Weekly recap series is a recap of random things I encountered during that particular week. Not necessary interesting, more like snippets of the week – daily little things I found I should share with readers.

I wrote Week#38 and Week#39 here.

Chronically, I shall start with Week#40. Here goes.

Khai gave me some curry puffs. He said “I made it with LOVE, baby”.

Ouhhh hell yeah so sexy!! Free curry puffs, I like! Not you, Khai! hahahaha.

By the way… Khai, is it lembu meat? I cannot eat lembu you know? ^^” I think the fillings are lembu when I ate the first one, but then I don’t care that much la… I just whack everything. Question later.

My 2gb SD card. Torn into pieces. Why?

My hand itchy la.. I wanted to know what’s inside. And I “peel off” the plastics. I found nothing interesting inside, only a chip. I tried to resemble it… but… I… couldn’t….

R.I.P High performance SD Card (Shit I should have peel the normal one – I left my brain inside cupboard that day ba..)

Went to Taiwanese restaurant called 7-8 (去吧). Took more photos for Brisbane Student Guide for upcoming articles.

Week#40 is Mooncake Festival. Prepared some fresh fruits, made into rojak and brought to parties. I ate half of them… hahahahaha. I was hyper active at the parties. Blame the sugar ^^;

Jerry met a girl at Reiji, the girl name is… is… is… Charlene. Charlene has been staying at Annie’s place for one year now. And she still looks the same.

Hm.. why is Jerry so lucky.

Oh, Charlene is a poster, stick at Annie’s house for a year now. Hehe.

Went to a new restaurant at Sunnybank, called Umai. Operated by Taiwanese I guess. Where are the authentic Japanese?! Stop opening sushi shops! I want ramen!!
