Welcome to Queensland, Australia..

I've not been blogging since May 2010 after a bitter incident. I didn't know how to continue blogging as my mind was totally blank. Suddenly I just ran out of ideas. I didn't know how to express myself anymore.

It was not until last week when a new friend of mine suggested that I should start blogging, with my new environment as a start that I begin to think " Yea, perhaps it's time to revive my blog'. So, here it is, brand new Jeremy who is currently reporting from his new niche aka new room in a foreign country.

Brisbane River

I'm no longer reporting under my bed in KL but rather reporting from Down Under, the Koala and Kangaroo land. Welcome to Australia.

Uniting Church

I arrived in Australia on the 11th of July 2010 after a memorable and poignant farewell conducted by my family members and friends. My parents were the mastermind behind the extravaganza. I should write more about that in my coming blog as there were indeed plenty of things which I would like to share with.

Brisbane City Hall

I'm currently staying in a peaceful and serene hill city called Toowoomba. This city is located approximately 1 1/2 hours drive from the river city Brisbane. Brisbane is the capital of Queensland, Australia.

Casino, formerly Treasury Building

On the first week when I arrived, I stayed with my ex coursemate aka Vincent Leong in Brisbane. Thanks to his hospitality for allowing me to bunk in at his lovely little house located at 115 Munro Street, St Lucia, Brisbane. Otherwise, I would have to sleep on the street, crawling like a shrimp during the cold winter night.

Thanks to Sing Yew for giving me a lift from Brisbane Airport to Vincent's house lest I would be lost, wandering around the kangaroo land like a loss soul, not knowing where to head to....

2 April 2010 surprises...

Last Friday was kinda surprise for me. Things just happened without putting a thought to it but I quite enjoyed all the surprises. It was a fun day, 2 April 2010.

It started off with room surveying. Looking for houses was rather funny. The one who wanted to look for a room just kept quiet but the one who accompanied actually discussed the details with the landlord. At one time my friend and I really thought that we were property agent, looking for room for this lamb, lol... We surveyed and finally decided to pick betel nut.

So sorry that we didn't go to Sushi King, but to the hawker instead. I should have remembered that parents are coming over and that I must have dinner with them... Hope the impromptu meet up with parents was not an embarrassed one. The char koey teow didn't spoil the mood I hope, haha... I just got to know that normal restaurants ( not mamak) also serve Teh O' Ais Limau, one drink that I all this while though was only available in in mamak stall =.="

Sometimes impromptu plan would work better than a pre-arranged plan. At least you wouldn't have high expectation. Clash of Titans, I didn't even know whether it was an animation or a movie but I just told my friend that ' Yea, count me in, I'm coming for the movie'. Because of that, we ended up in GSC cinema, IOI New Wing. It was a nice movie experience because the theater was new, and the seat was comfortable. But the best part was watching with a lamb, @.@. strange huh? ^^

Clash of Titans tickets, as usual, I keep ticket

What a tiring but an enjoyable nite....

Greatest person in my life

I would like to dedicate today's entry to the most important person in my life. He is none other than my beloved father, Mr Wong Fook Chiew. Today, 17 March 2010 is his birthday. Born in the year of Tiger according to the Chinese lunar calendar in 1950, he is 60 years old.

Already half a century old, I think he's fit to be called Senior citizen now. My dad's special to me. He has sacrificed a lot, painstakingly ensures that all his children get the proper shelter and education. He is a responsible father who willingly sacrifices for the betterment of his children. He saves every cent he earns just for his family. He has never spent lavishly for himself. When we were small, I'd never seen him having designer's clothing nor accessories. However, when his children wanted any branded stuffs, he would be ready to fork out the money. He spent lavishly on his childrens' food but for himself, he's contented with only a glass of water and a loaf of bread. This is my dad, who is never putting himself above us. Simple and caring, as long as his children and wife are happy, he's happy.


My dad's a responsible person. He ensures that everyone in the family is always in good order. He has never for once complaint for taking the responsibility as the head of the family. Whenever we have problems, he's always ready to guide us through, giving his lectures and opinion based on his years of fruitful experience.



Dad was not born with silver spoon in his mouth. He started working at a tender age to support the family. Born in a family of 10, there were plenty of mouths to feed. My grandpa was not a successful businessman. He lost his grocery business when he returned to China. Having divorced with my grandma due to some problems, my dad together with his siblings moved from the shop house in Ipoh town to a smaller village in Pasir Putih following my grandma. Life was hard then but they were not perturbed.



Dad worked hard and earn his living by working as newspaper vendor while studying part time in a private Chinese school. He studied until Form 5 and graduated eventually from the high school. He worked as an apprentice in an electrical company where he picked up his skills as an electrician. After acquiring enough skills, with his business acumen, dad started his first electrical company. From then on, there was no looking back.


He worked hard for his family and eventually raised us up to what we are today. Dad has scarified a lot indeed. It was him who moulded us up to be a successful person. Life would not be complete with this person. I'm really proud of my dad. He's the embodiment of love, the epitome of joy. He bought us much happiness, and he's our beloved dad.


Thank you for all the sacrifices. We love you dad.

Greetings to all!!!

Procrastination is the theft of time - that is the word of wisdom I learned back in my high school days in St. Micheal’s Institution (SMI), Ipoh.

St. Michael's Institution, Ipoh

It really reflects my attitude towards my blog as I've been delaying it for very long time. Always wanted to write but never have the will to do so.

I'm Jeremy Wong, hailed from Ipoh, the land I called it home, where people idle around, enjoying life in a very simple yet interesting style. I'm based in KL currently.

I know, it’s either I do it now or I’ll never will. So, what would be a better day to start blogging if it’s not in brand new 2010?

So, this is it- not the late MJ’s rehearsal concert but my very own blog: Jeremy’s Niche: Chronicles of my simple life, style, and events, reporting from the comfort zone below my bed, my Niche.

Welcome to my Niche. Not to forget, a happy new year to everyone. May this new year be fruitful and bountiful. All the best and stay healthy always....
