Work hard, Play harder, Eat more




I began my first filming project in Murdoch University. Finally after so many years, I am back studying what I love most! Well, I am now doing a topic on the Pros and Cons living in the Student village.. yes, I know... Cliche.. Boring.. Whatever! What's important to me now is I am filming again! I get to hold the camera, I get to direct and I get to edit!! Not just standing around trying to help or look busy back in MediaCock.. I guess I need to pay more attention to the shots and my planning... I am getting lazy nowadays! Life here too SLACK ar!!

Nowadays, I am checking out the good food here.. and guess what I found? Chilli Mussels! Fish and Chips! hmmmmm.... GOOD SHIT leh! Goodness! I think chilli mussels are the ONLY supper that's worth it and worth going for again and again! I still miss Geylang's Beef Hor Fun, Katong Laksa, Marine Parades Char Kway Tiao, Bedok's Oyster Ommelette (I admit my spelling sucks ok???) FOOOOD! Something here is seriously LACK of!

As for playing... What have I PLAYED? Except going to the beach, driving around Perth and crashing around in student village and the 'tavern', NOTHING MUCH TO PLAY! Yes, there are clubs here.. But if you are a Singaporean, you will still prefer Phuture in Zouk and Ministry of Sound back in Singapore... The music there flows! For here, I don't know what the DJs are doing, they are mixing different genres of music together like RoJak (is this spelling correct???) !!!!

Well, but overall, I am still having fun leh! Please don't be jealous peeps, at least you guys are sleeping in your own cosy big bedrooms, mine's SO SMALL!

Chan's Back!




Hi! for all of my friends who think I am not writing any nonsense in this blog, well, I am telling you, "I am going to write some more Nonsense again! Since I am so bored in my new Habitat, living in a period called the quarter-life crisis, in this quarter-to-perfect apartment in my quarter-to-dead-of-boredom life..

So, maybe some of my friends might think, "Where the hell is Zhiwei?? He disappeared in Singapore!" Well, let me tell u peeps, I am IN PERTH NOW! STUDYING FOR MY DEGREE!! so, if you want to find me, please book your tickets for a flight to Perth to visit me, because I am tooo POOR to return back to Singapore, and I am trying to escape the Army! hahaha! (hate reservist... is this the right spelling??) ARMY SUCKS! I am so happy I ORDed!

I am living in Perth for the past 3-4 weeks, do you know how is it like to live in Perth? It's like sitting at your crouch, eating nothing (because everything here is expensive?), watching TV(some stupid local programs), looking at our Singapore sea being polluted by the oil ships out there 24/7... YES!! It is BORING here!! Not to rub it in, but everything here except the alcohol, is PARKING EXPENSIVE! yeah, PARKING EXPENSIVE! In case you don't know the meaning of "PARKING", I give you a clue. Read this aloud to yourself, "Ayam PARKING we tart dirt". If you get the meaning, yeah, that's what I am referring to.. PARKING EXPENSIVE!

Other than that, check out the beaches in Perth, it's B-E-A-UTIFUL! It's something you will think it's worth living in Perth. I am heading to the BEACH once EVERY WEEK! And I LOVE IT! However, summer is coming to an end.. DAMN.. I LOVE the summer, although it's PARKING hot... it's like 43 DEGREES here! 43!!!!

Well, I am going to end here and attach 2 recent pictures of myself and my 2 funny frens along this post... just to let you know the shades I am wearing is RAY-BAN! You have to know this, whoever wears a RAY-BAN will definitely LOOK COOL, FEEL COOL and ACT COOL... Trust me!!
