If you ever gonna plan to fly on Qantas A380, apparently the seat 71D is the best seat in economy, it's actually better than premium economy. You know why? Picture below:
I paid an extra $20 to reserve this chair, yes bitches. It's for my flight from LAX to SYD coming back in November, unfortunately there isn't SYD to LAX available, still looking for secret good seats available.

I am currently looking for a brand new laptop for myself to bring when I'm travelling, well I need one to carry my photos if I am going to take photos and all that. Initially I thought choosing one was going to be busy but to pick a model and compare the specs and prices is driving me insane. I'm stuck wanting either an Ultrabook, normal laptop or a Macbook air (the evil in me is speaking).. why Macbook? Well, when I compare to Ultrabook, I compare to a Macbook air and see what's worthy or not, then it gets down to disk space, graphics, memory and the ideal space I needed and so forth. It's pulling my hair, so many models coming out, then ivy bridge came out and many have commented that we all should wait for it if we're planning to get a laptop, we should get one with ivy bridge or prices for non ivy bridge laptops would go down. I'm stuck in a zone, a zone so confused when it comes to technology, I'm suppose to be better and know this and all... well shit, a woman's shopping dilemma is always right inside me.
After delaying for 2 years back and forth. I finally got a booking date for me to get my wisdom teeth out. It's not going to be cheap, it's going to be $2000 and that's going to take a small bite out of my savings as I am currently saving for my U.S trip for near the end of this year (you know hotels, domestic flights, Vegas splurge, fatty American food and junk souvenirs to bring home) but it would be rebuild after I get a pay rise for this year at work and my tax returns which would make it better. Life is a penny. Dental care is probably the shittest ever here, compared to healthcare which is free, there's no control in dental prices and it's not free at all, plus private health care is worthless. I always like to get my teeth cleaned, repaired after sugar hits decay, whitened in Thailand because it would cost me 1/5 of what it does here.
It's not going to be fun, I've read and watched people and their experience and I feel like I am going to shit myself after the surgury however since it's getting worse and my surgeon has asked me to not delay it any time soon as the impacted teeth is starting to hit my other teeth and the bad effects are starting to show.
On the plus side, the surgury would be 3 days before my birthday, so any short trip that I was planning is gone out the window, any alcohol or hard food would be gone and no cake, at all. Everything would be thrown in a blender and turned into shake as my mouth wouldn't stand the pain.
We all go through a period of change, we're all stuck doing the same thing over and over everyday, yet when we want to do something new, we either dream all day about it or never bother making any attempts at chasing our real dreams. I guess I can say I'm one of them. I don't hate my current life, I just feel what I do everyday is tiring and boredom, there's a spark in me ready to explode that I want to unleash yet I hold it back for so long, how long is too long? I'm afraid it will be too late. I want to do what those who wouldn't want to seek, an opportunity that no one can see me try to do. When I was studying to get into becoming a system administrator in IT, people say for a woman it's impossible, let alone a job in IT industry for a woman is rare, and look at me now. I overcome the challenges that was thrown at me. I prove those who had doubt me from the beginning. I feel that there's another change for me, another career or challenge waiting underneath me wanting to come out, should I open that can of whoop ass worms? Time will tell, I will look back at this post reminding myself to do it, and the cracks are starting to appear.
Challenging myself to the impossible, it can take weeks, months, years, sweat, tears, I've done it all. I'm not afraid to do it all over again.

Found this on a forum, hilarious.

The nun teaching Sunday School was speaking to her class one morning and she asked the question, 'When you die and go to Heaven, which part of your body goes first?'
Suzy raised her hand and said, 'I think it's your hands.' 'Why do you think it's your hands, Suzy?' Suzy replied: 'Because when you pray, you hold your hands together in front of you and God just takes your hands first.' 'What a wonderful answer!', the nun said. Little Johnny raised his hand and said, 'Sister, I think it's your feet.' The nun looked at him with the strangest look on her face. 'Now, Johnny, why do you think it would be your feet?' Johnny said: 'Well, I walked past Mom and Dad's bedroom the other night. Mom had her legs up in the air and she was saying: 'Oh God! I'm coming!' If Dad hadn't pinned her down, I recon we'd have lost her." The nun had to leave the room.
In 2008 Barack Obama said, "Government whistleblowers are part of a healthy democracy and must be protected from reprisal." Obama has since prosecuted twice as many whistleblowers as all previous US presidents.

I honestly feel as the technology age is booming, freedom of information is more accessible now as to what it was 20 years ago. It's becoming a threat to governments around the world, including some Western governments, who have preach so much about 'democracy' is slowly becoming a militarist state. This is more than just whining about small minority of corporate greedy people, this is bigger than that.
As you know, my mobile phone's power on button is broken - due to the effects of being in an Odd Future mosh pit. Anyway, to get it repaired is such a pain in the ass, that's the taboo of buying shit from the internet, especially when the product company refuse to repair my phone even though it's under warrantly, but the fact the phone was not purchased here and the serial has confirmed it's from Thailand, I have to go all the way to Thailand to get it fixed (yeah that what HTC told me), well I can go to Thailand if I want to, but the fact it will cost me a plane ticket I rather buy a new phone instead. I mean, Blackberry and Apple have great support when it comes to hardware/software faults, you can buy their product from a third world country and if you're still under warranty, they'll fix it for you. At the moment, I am currently in contact with the phone seller, hopefully they can ship me the spare part so I can get it fixed.
In the meantime, I'm stuck with the use of a no power on button, it's pain in the ass, why? Because whenever my phone sleeps, you would need to power on button to switch it to be awake, instead you would need to take the battery up thus having to do a reboot of the phone every time, or alternatively, plug in and plug out it's USB connector that's attached to your PC if you're near one.
So I went to look around in the Android Market if there's an App for something like my situation, and to my surprise there is! It's not the best, but it's what I could use for the time being. So, thank goodness for Android, because if some shit happens, there's always an App for it.
We need a new generation of politicians and leaders to lead us, not as a country but in the community and for everyone else as well. Nowadays, we have old fart politicians who aren't socially connected with the people and is delusional enough to try to introduce new laws and legislation to the public that is deemed an enemy to free speech. The government should be afraid of the people, not the other way around yet we're slowly letting them take control of things that shouldn't be in their control in the first place. You look at world news, like in the Middle East, dictators trying to hold onto power and using violence against people if the people are against the government, yet when they get rid of the dictatorship, a new wave of dictatorship has a grip on power and that's another hurdle to combat.
In the U.S, the government wants to introduce SOPA (and all that shit with it) because Hollywood is afraid of the Technology world. They want to slow down the progress of it by introducing stupid laws. Yeah, SOPA got killed, but what makes you think that's the end of it? They'll push more and more, these past generation politicians who are currently still in power won't give up easily. It's also a bonus if money is thrown left and right to get ahead, it works, because money is power, but if no money you don't have the power which you can hold the opposition by the throat. Also, look at Occupy Movement, it first started off as something with a cause, then a bunch of idiots joined and the message got clouded and lost. Protesting and online petitions ain't going to do shit, that's slacktivism. You take action, which is much more than that - do something, go out there and take action what you believe can make a difference.We can laugh now at countries who are now under dictatorship, communism, restricted free speech however one day, just one day our own country could become just like that as well.
It took me all day whether or not to get a digital camera, maybe even years. I always wanted one but from people's experience and how it can break easily from time to time plus most use AA batteries, which I don't like I prefer rechargable ones from the camera, I usually would stay away from compact digital camera and prefer SLR camera. Anyway, I was going through reviews and had to pick between the two, which was Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V and Nikon Coolpix AW100 (This is my preference, although the Sony one was more popular one through review) in the end I picked the Nikon one, why?
Three points that won my heart. It's going to arrive home next week. I'm happy.
Get your shit together with this SOPA madness. We don't want to deal with your mess again as we have already dealt with your other shit in the past.
Yours sincerely, the International community.
If you were to travel alone, you're going to unfamilar territory. The reason why I believe travelling alone is fun, also a bonus if you're single as well (You don't want to be in a relationship and your spouse nags you in the middle of the night due to time zone differences, lol) - it pushes yourself. It challenges how you see yourself, as you're surrounded by people who don't know - hence, you're free to be the introvert or extrovert you're not at home.
I have travelled alone in the past, I felt comfort when I do it because I'm used to it and always up for any new challenges in life. Plus, I don't need to pay for 2 people during lunch, so that's a good thing and I can also have a 5 star hotel all to myself. Downside, you need someone to take photos of you or you're alone with your camera's timer and that shit is hard to get a perfect shot.
That I know is working during the public holiday period for December. Yes, that includes Boxing day, National wide public holiday after that, New Years Eve and New Years day. So I guess you could say I have killed off my own 2011? Well, in my opinion hell no. Most countries don't have penalty rates, which is for those who work get 3x the hourly pay or in my case 1 day public holiday work = 3 days added to my annual leave. So in total, I would get 12 days annual leave for 4 days of work, that's simple awesome and what I intended. To hell getting drunk and wasted on New Year Eve where I've done that already in the past. I'm saving and gaining my annual leave for 2012, so in total, including 4 weeks leave, plus 12 days and if I plan to work in other upcoming public holidays, I'm heading to 6 weeks leave. You know me, I like to use it all at once, so yes for 2012, is going to be a big year for me as I have planned for, and hopefully it all goes well as planned.
Happy New Year to you motherfuckers, from bitchville who's going to be working from home.
These motherfuckers, they're called: Australian White Ibis.
1. They smell like shit, take a sniff and you want to vomit. I have to hold my breath each time I go to their spot, which is where I pass everyday to work.
2. They're ugly and shit everywhere, they're all around the city near garbage bins.
3. They smell like shit. Even seagulls don't smell like shit.
4. They smell like shit
5. All of the above.

Piracy. A word that's an enemy against big companies, entertainment industry and all alike.
To me, it's something I have to choose and prefer, because the option of doing it legally costs twice more than the origin of the product (for example, television, movies, music) or is restricted for people like me legally (see: Hulu, Netflix and etc).
People who are against piracy and believe ISP should be hold accountable for it, it's basically like saying a phone company should be at fault if two criminals who planned to rob a bank used mobile phones to communicate eachother. It's a dumb statement to begin with.
If getting access to all these movies, television and games the same prices and release date as the US at least we didn't have to pirate these things. Pay TV and free to air TV here is poor and outdated. Anything brand new is unavailable due to copyright restrictions that these big companies hold against non US citizens. PC games companies have learnt this and taking the best approach, having all games available for everyone around the world at the same or at least identical price! This is what other forms of entertainment should do, instead of suing customers or ordinary people just because they download a couple of copies of movies that's not available for release in their side of town.
So two big fingers at corporate companies who are small minded about the technology age.

2011 in review - Singapore and Thailand
Which reminds me, for 2012 and beyond I need to visit more countries in the years ahead. Saving up is not a hassle for me, it’s the limited of getting days off that’s a problem to me.
I’m quoting James Bond because my sister named her pug James Bond and he’s sitting at the CEO’s chair, he took over my position for a shoot for his new puppy business card.
Took a photo when my computer parts arrived, it feels like Christmas has come very early for me.
Miss it dearly. My piss looks like this after drinking it. I made an attempt to make it back home, success!

The home is located in Gapyunggun, Gyeounggi-do, South Korea. The intention was for the design to become a part of the surrounding context, which consisted of the river and mountains.
