Happy Birthday Di!! (belated post: 23rd of September)

Happy Birthday Hsei Di!

remember this? makeup session with my sister!!

Now, you're 20! I can't believe it! I've known you since I was 8 and you were only 5! This means that I've known you for 15 years now! Amazing aint it? From climbing trees, playing masak-masak, to crying over boys and now in different parts of the world. I haven't seen you in sooooo long and really miss our countless sleepovers!! I think when we meet up again...we need at least 2 weeks of continuous sleepovers to catch up on all the miss-outs we've been missing on each other!
Love ya and and tonnes of hugs and kisses!

Whitley Bay

Hello, Its Me

Today, a bunch of us went to the beach for some photo taking since a friend of mine just got an SLR camera and wanted to practice.

It was a fun day and the weather was great, comparing it to the days before when it was really sucky...

The whole place was so peaceful yet lively. Watching families together playing on the beach made me miss home and my family. Seeing couples strolling the beach together made me wish i had someone to cuddle. Tourist going around with their back-packs makes you wanna go somewhere. Most importantly, being with friends at that moment just makes you feel friends are important too, and should never take for granted of the bond shared. Definitely stirred loads of emotions!

We walked so much that now even sitting on the sofa blogging, i feel that i'm still walking! Its been a while since i last walked sooo much! its crazy!! but i guess all that walking burnt off all the Fish and Chips I had for lunch.

Anyway, will post more pictures once i get them from my friends...

Hugs people and have a good Sunday!

Enjoying the MUSIC!

Since I am Jobless and on the internet like most of my day, you guys must be wondering what I do on the internet. Besides chatting, surfing the net, Facebook (i'm sure everyone agrees that i spend most of my time on facebook), I also go on Youtube. I have been going around Youtube listening to unsigned singers. And so far I've found a few people that have been my daily dose of life.

I might be doing a little advertising here for these people, but I believe they deserve it. It is pure talent and the music industry really need all these people....I guess that is my opinion. Listen to them and maybe you'll be an addict to their music like I am.

Well, if you are too lazy to click on the link above, I'll just give you one song from a duet by Cathy Nguyen and Randolph Permejo, called "My Everything"

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!!


Wishing all of you a very happy mid-autumn festival.
Laterns and mooncakes should be everywhere by now in Malaysia...
At least I've eaten some mooncake already!
Enjoy the weekend!

Life oh Life...

I know I haven't done any blog post about me recently accept all the travel blogs so i guess i better start saying something before my readers start asking about me (ie, my dad, mom and my sister (they are my main readers))

I haven't started working yet and it really sucks...money keeps on going out withour coming in is just sucky and i really can't do much about it since my student visa is running out. I've already applied for my post-study work permit and hopefully that would be approved and i'll be able to stay on for another 2 years. When I get the visa it would be easier to get jobs because people would prefer to employ you when you already have the permit to stay and they don't have to worry about employing an illegal immigrant or have to apply a work permit for you.

So far, job hunting is still ongoing and it can really be disappointing. Sometimes it is really frustrating when even a part time sales assistant job that you applied for is ust rejected. It makes you feel unwanted and wonder what is wrong with you. Sigh Sigh....I REALLY NEED A JOB!!!!!!

Being jobless makes you really lazy. On top of that, the weather these past few days has been horrible and makes you even more lazy! it rains and rains and rains. Last weekend, it rained for 2 days straight without even stopping and it just made you wanna stay at home and DO NOTHING!!! It is realy and i really hope that the weather improves. I know it will become colder but if it doesn't rain I won't mind. But knowing the weather in the UK...rain is part of the country....without it, it woulnd't be UK right?

The house that i'm currently staying in is my friends place, and i have been bumming here for 2 months plus and will stay here for another month before moving to another more permanent place. At least i've signed a contract for it. It is just a 5 minute walk from this place and it is also with friends. It doesn't really make any different...

Anyway, about this home we are staying now, it is really cold and the house insulation is not good at all. Sometimes, it is colder being in the house than being outside. I really wonder why? SOmetimes even turning on the heater does not do the trick! The only way to keep warm is to shower under the hot water and coming out and covering yourself head to toe under the duvet! I wonder how it would feel during the winter!

Anyway...nothing much has happened to me other than bumming around, I know my dad and mom would go " haiyo..spend money not earning money"....hehehe..

About my mom and dad, They are celebrating their 32nd wedding anniversary today!!! But as far as i know, they are not together at the moment, My mom is in Singapore and my dad is back in Labuan (due to his work). They are my parents and I love them to bits! Thank you to the both of you, being the parents that I love so much and all the support that you have given me. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to come abroad to study and hopefully I'll make you proud by getting a decent job earning decent money! I miss you both dearly and really hope to see you guys soon. I am glad that i was able to see you guys in July but you know that that 2 weeks was definitely not enough to catch up on one whole year of my life here in the UK!!

From the bottom of my heart, I LOVE YOU BOTH!!
