Visa Approved

Yesterday, the postman came bearing something that I have been waiting for 7 weeks.

My Post-study work permit arrived yesterday and now I am legally allowed to stay in the UK for an extra 2 years! 2 years with the permission to work too! Isn't that great??

Now, all I need now is a JOB to support me!!! Can't stay here without making any money right???

So, wish me luck people! I really need it now!!!!! No money, no FOOD. When there is No food, I will be too weak to give you warm cuddly hugs!!!!!!

Cheers people!

Weirdest Dream

This dream I had last night was the weirdest dream. Usually dreams seem to be very vague the moment I wake up, but this one was so weird that certain parts was so clear that it kind of made the hair down my spine stand.

I can't remember how it all started, but I remembered this part where it was another world war or some war that involved everybody. However instead of killing, we were all gathered to this big field. Once at the big field, everyone was given umbrellas. However, the umbrellas that were given out were of different designs. Some had sports pictures on them, some had ducks on them, and some had other designs on them, which I can't remember.

Once everyone had their umbrellas, there was this huge gust of wind that blew everyone up into the sky. This is when everything gets a little interesting. The umbrella with different designs were actually your destiny. Like if it was a picture of a sport, it would actually mean that the place that you were going to, you'll be a sports person. Like if you had a duck on your umbrella, it doesn't mean that you'll be a duck but more of you'll be able to swim but not able to keep your breath under the water (like a duck).

I don't think I was dreaming of me particularly but it was like an outer body experience, but looking down at people that was not me. I felt like it was my parents but the people didn't look like I knew them.

Don't you think its weird?  I know this whole image of the dream is like a jigsaw, so I might edit this post when I can recall maybe different parts of the dream......all I know that it is really creepy...Is it talking about the afterlife? 

 

              What design would you want on your Umbrella?

The temperature dropping!

These past few days, the temperature has been dropping quite drastically. It is only autumn and the lowest it has gone was 3 degrees celcuis. I remember this time last year, I was still able to go out with a thin cardigan but this year, my scarves and thick coats are already out!

I really pity new students who are coming from places like Malaysia to have such a horrible fall. Not allowing them to adjust to the weather. Since it is already so cold now, I really wonder what will it be like during winter...*shivers*

With such drastic weather, everyone is falling sick. It being so cold and not drinking enough water makes the body dehydrated. Everyone is complaining sore throat or a cold. Like me, I think I'm slowly going down the same path as them. So I need to drink loads of water and also I need to boost my Vitamin C intake.

Anyway, to those who are sick, get well soon. To those getting sick, drink loads of water and stay warm. To those who have no problems, have fun!!

Cheers!

Happy Birthday Janushree!!

Here to wish you Happy Birthday! and Congratulations to graduating! Hope you had a great birthday! Hugs and kisses and cheers to many more years of friendships with you!!!

Love ya!

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.

The famous lighthouse at Whitley Bay

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.

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!!

Lake District

I know that I went to the Lake District before my Europe tour but i totally forgot to blog about it until recently, i had to make a mental note "to blog about Lake District"!!

So yeah, the next day after my parents arrived from Malaysia, we headed off to my cousin's place in Preston. Since she was only about 1 1/2 hours away from Lake District, it was convenient to drop over her place. So we took the bus to Preston from London and arrived there almost 10 and stayed over her place.

The next day, we went up to Lake District. The view there was wonderful and I really enjoyed the scenery. However, the weather was not the best. It kept on raining and stopping and raining again. Pictures taken were not that beautiful compared to if there was beautiful sun!

The lakes and hills were so beautiful, makes you wanna build a small little cottage up there and wake up every morning to the magnificient view!

We spent the whole afternoon there, driving pass hills and lakes and stopping for lunch/dinner. This area is huge and having only a day there sure wasn't enough. I hope to go back and see more of the area!!

Got home almost around 9 and everyone was already exhausted. Since the next day we were going to drive up to Newcastle for my graduation, we headed to bed early for an early start in the morning

Day 6-8 Paris

Day 6-8 of the European Sampler

Left Switzerland early in the morning for Paris and it was definitely a VERY LOOONG drive at it was already evening when we arrived there in Paris. Stayed in this hotel called the Kyraid Hotel which was a tiny hotel compared to the one in Amsterdam (it was true what the tour guide had said about the rooms becoming smaller as we went on with our tour). However, the hotel was located in a place which was very convenient. The metro stations were just 5 minutes walk away and they had tonnes of Cafe's and Restaurants there.

Got ready for dinner had chinese there, since my aunt couldn't stand the western food anymore. So had chinese and after that we went off to see the Eiffel Tower in the night. This was not part of the tour and it was all on our own. Took the train map and figure how to get there. Thankfully the metro system was easy. So managed to find Eiffel Tower and took pictures. By the time we got there, lights were alright out and it was really amazing. I never thought that this day would come, me being in Paris because since young, you always see thousands and thousands of pictures of it but never saw yourself being there. But I guess this was it. There were sooo many people there and the queue was incredibly long. My parents didnt see the need to queue and go up so we took the pics all around it, trying to get the best angle.

After photo taking, it was already around 10.30, so we said that we better head back before it really gets dark. So we took the train back to the hotel and called it a night.

The next day, we had a city tour. Went to Notre Dame first. The tour guide said that the buildings in Paris were just cleaned so Notre Dame was really relatively white looking compared to the usual greyish dirty looking. If you've watched Hunchback of Notre Dame, this is where the story was pictured. It is still a church that people go to and the architecture in it makes you feel so spiritual the moment you step in it. I know I've been to churches back in Malaysia but this one just makes your hair down your spine raise up in awe.

After all the snap snap of pictures, we hit the road again for some more siteseeing. Pass the city town and the famous Arc de Triomph. and we reached this place to take pictures of the Eiffel Tower. Managed to take some fun pictures there (if you have my facebook, you'll see all the jumping photos), and some family pictures too. I wish my whole family was there to have a picture taken!!!

After that, we were on our own. The bus dropped us somewhere near the The Lourve and we were on our own for the rest of the day. So walked around The Lourve, didnt go in because mom and dad were not that interested to go in and the group of friends that were with us were also not interested. So we just took pictures of the famous pyramid that is there and left for Sacre Ceour, another church. This church was on a hill and the view that we were able to see was fantastic.... It was pretty packed and people were not exactly in the church but around the church just chilling!

After the church, we split with the group of friends and we went on our own. Mom wanted to find this market where they had all the painters and artist. So we went in search high and low, and finally when we found out where it was, it was up on the hill on the otherside of the church. By this time, we had already come down from the hill. So imagine this, we went up this hill (quite high okay) to see the hill and then came down thinking that the market was not on this hill. Then we went up the hill again (this time on the other side) to find the market. This definitely tire my parents and my mom out, even i could my legs shaking already with the amount of steps that we had to climb. The artist there was really nice to see and watch too bad some of them put up notice that photos were not allow to be taken. I guess its all about copyright :P

After walking around the market, they were already tired and was thinking of going home. But told them that it would be a waste to go back to the hotel so early (it was only 4pm). So we said we would go to the Arc de Triomph to take some more pictures, since we only passed it and didn't manage to take any good pictures. Reach there and the amount of people there was crazy. I guess its the craziest site to see being that it is actually a roundabout. Another crazy part of this site or maybe the roundabout is that the people on the roundabout must give way to the people coming into the the roundabout. What madness is this? So means that there is constantly cars coming into the roundabout, and it is not like there is only 4 exits to this round about. i think it was more that 4 (maybe 5) and constantly giving into the people coming in is going to give the person on the roundabout a headache! I think I would be killed trying to cross that street!

We then walked down the town just to have a look. Found LV shop which was rediculously expensive yet still there were so many people in there. I personally never liked LV because of its LV being printed all OVER their items.... to just let you in how much things were, just imagine a keychain that has a small little LED on it cost 150 euros (thats about RM 650). We just went in to show my aunt how much things can cost and she got a shock and kinda hint that she wanted to leave the place. Walked around some more after that, into Toyota shop, some other car show. It was really nice. Paris is definitely a very nice place. Even when everyone goes on about how rude people there are, we were lucky enough that we didnt come across any! People that we ask directions for were nice and friendly, which definitely changed my view on them as being rude.

After the walk, we headed back to the hotel and had a very nice dinner and retired all early to bed. It was still so early (i think it was only 10.30pm) that i couldn't sleep since it was still bright outside so i just flicked through channels till i dozed off...

Morning came and it was time for us to head back to the UK. Some of the tour members were going to leave from Paris back to their respective homes so it was kinda sad that we were all going to part ways. Friendships were definitely made and with the power of Facebook, it would be easier to find each other. After breakfast, we headed to Calais again, go through passport check and back to Dover again. Reached London around 5 and everyone was hungry. Brought them to Kaisu (the place that i went with my friends) and it was good!! At last 2 ko enjoyed her food....:S

Anyway, that marks the end of the European Sampler. Sorry it took so long for me to update the last part of this tour. But there you go!!! Enjoy the pictures....

Day 4-6 Lucerne

Day 4-6 of the European Sampler

We are now on our way to switzerland....sceneries changing...hills come to view!!

As we make our way to Lucerne, it becomes hilly and mountains are visible. Didn't see much as i was sleeping in the bus...very typical of me to be sleeping in a moving vehicle...I'm sure my sister can agree with me!

Arrived at the hotel just in time for dinner and a stroll around the area after that. Being the summer, the sun sets very late, so when its around 9+ the sun will only start setting. The hotel that we were staying overlooks Mount Pilatus and it was really beautiful.

The next day, we went to the Lion Monument, which was done to remember the Swiss soldiers that died during the French Revolution guarding Louis the-dunno-number-what, King of France. It was such as sad monument as the face of the Lion was so sad, it was already near death, looking all defeated.

After the monument, we were brought to this small town to look at some Swiss knives and watches. World famous right? yeah, but they are not cheap, especially the watches... the knives were still okay but the watches...hmmm....no money how to buy?

Finishing to what was suppose to be shopping, we went on a additional excursion on a river cruise, which allowed us to see all the beautiful sceneries. It was so beautiful that it made you wanna go " The hills are alive, with the sound of music, the songs they've sung for a thousand years"...seriously...no kidding!! I know i might not be in the correct country being that the movie was filmed in Austria, but I definitely had that feeling.

Going up Mount Titlis was next in the additional excursion. We were expecting that it was going to be cold (Switzerland immediately sounds cold to you, what more up in the mountian full of ice), equipped with our winter jackets, we went up the mount by cable car. We went on the cable car that was the world first rotating cable car. The floor of the cable car turns, which allows you to see 360 degrees of the mountain, which was good, because they squeeze as many people in the cable car as possible that you are not able to move so the cable car moving was the only thing that allowed you to see the whole view.

When at the top, it was warm!! the only thing that was cold was the snow/ice that was there. Still a lot of snow for snow fights and also snow man but who wants to do that when you have this amazing view right in front of you? You felt like you were on top of the world and it was so breath-taking. You really felt that you were on top of the world because you were so high that clouds were below you! The summer sun made it warm enough to sit out the bench to have lunch, which was so relaxing. Makes you wish that you had a house there for the summer, because I dont think that you'd wanna stay there during the winter (chills down my spine just thinking about the winter there).

Headed back into town again after that to do more shopping. Went around town and in the end managed to buy a Swatch watch, that was the only swiss watch that was affordable and Dad bought it for me! Thanks Dad...I've NEVER had a branded watch in my life (you all must go like, you're kidding right?), so I was really happy and I love my watch very much!!

This ended the day and everyone headed back to the hotel. Some headed to a folklore dinner to hear some yoddling but we stayed in and had an early night for we were heading to Paris in the morning!!!

Selamat Hari Jadi

TO ERA NATASHA!!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 23 YEARS YOUNG...DON'T WORRY..WE'RE STILL YOUNG!!!

HUGS AND KISSES..MISS YOU LOADS AND HAVE FUN ON YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!

LOVE YA!

Day 3-4 Cologne

Day 3-4 of the European Sampler

The Journey to Cologne took about 4-5 hours and arrived at the hotel just in time for dinner. We were welcomed with a dinner buffet with German sausages! YUMMY!!

Our tour guide Joost suggested if anyone wanted to follow him into the town to go look at one of the largest Cathedrals, so most of us joined in. The moment we got into town and saw the cathedral, it was AMAZING! I have seen quite a number of cathedral but i tell you this one is just amazing. It took 600 years to complete and the amount of details you see on the structure just puts you in awe. Its a gothic structure known to the German's as Kölner Dom. It is the largest gothic catholic church in Northern Europe and it is huge. I wanted to take a picture of the whole structure but was not successful. Managed to get my camera to do some stitching work so might show you a part of the building.

Sadly when we got there (it was already around 8pm), it was already closed and we couldn't see the insides. I'm sure that the inside of the church must be as breathtaking as the outside. Walked around the area, which was next to the Rhine river and took somemore pictures. Started to leave the place around 10 and got home to the hotel to rest.

The next day, we set of to the Rhine river for our 2 hour cruise. It was beautiful. the scenery was just fantastic. vineyards, castles and monuments at the bank made the whole cruise very memorable. The amount of history that goes with everything made it all the more beautiful. It shows the age of the country and how it slowly develops to the country we know today. It also makes me wonder how young Malaysia is (dont you think so?).

After the cruise, we headed into Switzerland!! It was a long long drive but when we came into Switzerland, the mountains just blew you away!!!! Tell you more about it in my next post!! Enjoy the slide show (the one above)

Day 1-3 Amsterdam

Day 1-3 of the European Sampler

Left Thistle Euston Hotel (London) at about 9am to Dover (Kent), the port that connects UK to Paris. This journey took about 2 hours and the scenery through the country-side was very English. Dover port was very unique as it had cliffs around the port, which made it very beautiful. The ferry that we got on took us to the other side, Calais in France.

Met up with our tour guide from the Cosmos tour, Joost and the journey in Europe started. Our first destination was Amsterdam, which we had to go through France and also Belgium. It was a very scenic journey and we could see windmills, which made everyone excited about The Netherlands.

Arrived the hotel (the best of the tour) in the evening, and everyone crashed to bed to get ready for the whole day the next day. We were brought to the canal cruise the next day and the local tour guide (Suzanne), gave us a very informative commentary. Things about how the houses in Netherlands were tilted due to soft soil, and how the taxes were paid by how wide the house was, so the we saw the most narrow house, which was like a little wider than a meter. Dutch is not a very easy language to learn, all i can say is that if you are sick and have a lot of phlegm, go there and i'm sure you'll get rid of it soon.

After the cruise, we were brought to a Diamond shop, where they showed how they are polished and valued. How diamonds are valued by the 4 C's: carat, colour, clarity and cut. Its crazy how much a piece of tiny stone can cost a person... I guess guys must start saving from now if you wanna propose to your future wife in 20 years time. i better tell my nephew..

We were left in town for the rest of the day and we went to the book market, flower market and around town. walked and walked till we cant walk no more. Amsterdam is a place were prostitution and marijuana is legal, so there is this place called the red light district where you'll have sex shops everywhere, prostitutes calling for you (they pay taxes too) and people smoking pot everywhere. Free right???

The second day that we were there, we went to this village Zannse Schans. It is a typical old style village where we went to see how clogs (those wodden shoes) and cheese were made. we were also able to see working windmill in there. Windmills were used to grind wheat to flour and also control water. We were able to go in to the windmills and see how things work in there.. very impressive for something that was made a long time ago. After this small village, we went to another village called Volendam, a fishing village. The moment we arrived, our tour guide, showed us how to eat their delicacy, raw Herring (a type of fish). it is served whole (backbone removed) and garnished with onions. It is very salty (fisherman salt them to preserve them) but taste a litte like tuna, just a little raw. good experience, at least i've tried it!

After the walk around the fishing village, we made our way to Cologne, Germany....and that will be in another post, so for now, enjoy the pics from Amsterdam (slide show)

Summer Holiday

Just got back from London yesterday and let me tell you, It has been real hectic.

I'm not complaining but its really tiring. My parents came over from Malaysia on the 7th of July and I went down to London a day earlier to get them. Spent a 2 nights there (one night for my parents) at my Aunt Tammy's place and headed up to Preston (Cousin Pearly's place) for 2 nights. We were able to go to the Lake District to snap some beautiful pictures! Althought the weather was lousy (rainy weather), the scenery was still beautiful.

After 2 nights in Preston, drove (rented a car) up to Newcastle and Sunderland for my graduation. The weather was still sucky for us to do any sight seeing. Only manage to go around Newcastle town and Sunderland's National Glass Museum. Graduation came and went and it was good. I'm proud of myself for being able to graduate. Finally, BSc (Hons) Chemical and Pharmaceutical Science Graduate!! Woot!!

We were still in a rush, which meant we left Newcastle the night of my graduation back down to London, so that we will have time in London before starting our tour. The weather in London cleared a little (wasn't as bad as the week before), so we went strawberry picking! It was fun picking strawberries that we didnt realise the amount of strawberries that we picked! i think we picked like GBP 12 pounds of strawberries, and on top of that, we picked blackberries, raspberries (which to me is like cough mixture), blackcurrent, plums and also french beans (which my 2 ko (aunt) was soo excited about -_-")

Next day (this was already on the 12th of July), started our tour from London. 7 days tour (which i think i will blog individually) to The Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, and France. Met some really interesting people on the tour and hope to keep in touch with them. The wonders of facebook again! :P. The tour ended on the 19th back in London and we were all very very tired!

On the 20th, we went to watch Lion King the musical and all i can say that it was lovely. The moment it started, i cried..i was definitely overwhelmed! Enjoyed it really....highly recommended!!! SO i guess 1 musical down, tonnes more to go!

It has been a very tiring holiday, but it was fun hanging out with my parents and i miss them already! THanks Dad and Mom for this trip (my graduation gift) and oh ya, Thanks dad for the watch! me loving it!!!!

Anyway..i will blog again about the places i've been and seen... so do come back soon....

I'm Back

Will update this blog soon..i've been away with my parents and just got back today.....Loads to show and tell!!!!!

Stay Tuned!

My Hair for Graduation Ball

I did my own hair for graduation Ball........ so take a look...it was something simple, cuz i'm not very good with hair...(being that I always have shorthair)....just a sinple bun which i couldnt see until someone took a picture of it.....hahaha..

Comparison

Madness nights!!!
All done with exams, what is left is my personal notes

This is to compare what i had to go through when i was having my exams...and post-exams (when all the books were returned back to the library)

I know I'm lazy!!

I know i have neglected this blog and haven't been blogging....even i have all the time in the world right now!....but i guess when you dont have the time, it the time when you feel like blogging all the time...but when you are free......you just dont wanna do anything!

I've already moved out of Precinct, my home for the past 8 months (almost 9). I miss it dearly. With Ernest and Callum missing already, it is so quiet!! I really miss BLOCK 6!!!!this place that i'm staying (Clanny HOuse) now is far away from town that it is just a pain just to go grocery shopping. all i do is stay at home because town is so far. and from today onwards, there is no shuttle bus that the uni provide anymore! so if i have to go to town, its either walking or taking the metro.

Life has been slow after all the hectic exams and all those moving, but the days passes tooo fast! Now its already saturday and i still think that it is a wednesday! ARGH!!! in like 9 days time, my parents will be coming!! WOOT!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!! so fast!! i really can't imagine lar.......crazy you know.....i really miss them and really can't wait to meet them!!!!

Nothing much has happened lately, just that I'll be on a moving marathon for this 2 weeks. As i just moved in to this place on monday, I'll have to move again on the 3rd to newcastle....i have to move everything!!! crazy.....need to move everything before i go down to London to meet up with my parents. Its all happening soo fast....too fast in fact that i dont think i am enjoying it!!!

So what have i been up to since i have nothing better to do?
I have been looking for jobs, part time and also full time!!! part time to fill my time now, but i dont think that it will happen anymore, since its only a week away from my going down to London. I'm also job-hunting for a full time job that is hopefully related to what i studied. Hopefully all will be well. To those who dont already know, I want to stay here for at least another year to gain experience first, before i decide to go back to malaysia. The course that i took is not that popular in Malaysia, so i guess it would be a good idea to gain some experience here in the UK before tapau-ing what I have learnt back home! If you ask me whether i miss home? YES I DO...i miss my family, my niece and nephew, my relatives, my friends...the FOOD!!! sigh.......i aim to go back to malaysia during CNY next year...is that possible? i really hope so!!!

I have also been watching series!! on this website something like youtube, but its a chinese one. Dont get shock that i'm watching chinese shows, but I'm not. its just a chinese hosting thingy, but they have shows like Friends and Sex and the City. so that is what I have been watching! they have all the episodes and they are labelled so nicely that you can watch them in sequence! I've already watched Sex and the City till Season 6!! almost done. I started to watch this since i've watch the movie and was in the mood of watching it in sequence! Yesterday i started with Friends. I know my sister would go like " you did that marathon before already"...but who cares....it is my all time favourite tv shows and i dont think i'll ever get bored with them!!

Other than that, life has been boring!! I can't go shopping cuz town is so far and i need money!!! sigh......... someone do entertain me okay?

I just can't believe that I've already been here for like 9 months!! crazy!!! I think time just went by without telling me, and im getting really annoyed!

boost me!

Big Sis turns 31!!

I can't seem to find a pic of just you and me!!! hhahaha...

Happy Birthday my dearest sister!!! I wouldn't know what I will do if you weren't there for me. You are one (and the only) sister that I can depend on!
You're the best!!

LOVE YOU!!!

Happy Father's Day

Daddy Dearest, Here to wish you a very Happy Father's day..i know its a day late but the thought is still sincere. I hope that you have already recieved my card!

Daddy, I miss you and thank you for everything!! Love you tonnes!!!

Muaks!!

Giggles

I know that this is also way before my time....or i guess i was 3 and suppose to me listening to nursery rhymes but this is one the songs that i remember singing to!!!



Thanks to my sister i guess.....TOMMY PAGE......

New Kids On The Block

New Kids on the Block is back with a new album...I know its been a long time and some of you might think that NKOTB are like not even my time yet, but since I have an elder sister who was crazy over them, i was influenced!!

I just saw the new video on youtube and I kept on laughing how old they are and how they are acting like they are in their 20's.... hahahaha...




Che.....you still have hots for Joey?

Sex and the City

Just got back from the cinema....and it was good....If it wasn't your cup of tea, I don't care, i still enjoyed it. It was a show that made me laugh and cry. I really don't want to spoil it for you guys so i'm not going to go into the details.

It was really nice to see what happened after the whole series ended and the show was set 3/4 years later the series ended! So imagine there was a lot of changes like Brady (Miranda's baby) is now no more a baby and that Charlotte's adopted baby (the one that was only in pictures in the series) was already a walking and talking girl! I guess thats all I'm going to say more about the movie....So girls (and guys) go watch it!! Go watch with with your girlfriends (I didn't, but it was good anyway), it would be a perfect movie with your girlfriends... Get dressed, go for a dinner, then to the movie....and if you girls still have the energy, go clubbing afterwards for a girls night out... just talking about it just made me miss my girlfriends back home (you guys know who you are)!!

Go watch it okay???? and HAVE FUN!!!

and oh ya..i just only now know that Mr. Big's name is John James Preston...

Race!

Petrol....

I might be a little behind the news but i heard a few days ago about the increase of petrol prices in Malaysia, which gone up to RM 2.70 per liter!!!!

CRAZY.........I guess people will now start riding their bikes!!! Time to take it out of the closet!!

I still remember when i was young and my dad used to take us out for "round-round" around town in the evenings after dinner just for a drive in the car. But now being that the petrol is so expensive, i doubt parents would do that anymore....

When I pass my driving test and got my licence, my friends and I would go for drives, yamcha and just to hang out. Now, with expensive petrol prices, I doubt that we'll be so willing to drive out as much as we used to...

People in the city drive here and there and everywhere. And with the not-very-efficient public transport, people will not be able to afford to go anywhere anymore..........

How la like that?

Done with the BIG E!!!

On Friday the 30th of May, I sat for my last exams!!! If all goes well...that paper would be the last of my degree....can't believe all this happened so quickly..i never thought that this day would actually come....i always thought that i would be studying all my life..!!!

Anyway..enough about exams!!!! I need to stop worrying, so i'll try to stop now by not talking about it!!!

Friday night was our graduation ball...I personally wasn't expecting it to be very grand but it was just a chance to dress up. being science students, all we wear to classes are just jeans, trainers and t-shirt.....going into the lab is not a place where you'd wanna dress up...

So, did my own hair, my own make up, did make up for Wen Ying and got ready!!! Took the cab there and we saw everyone so nicely dress..i was scared that we were overly dressed but when we reached...we saw girls in gowns and things like that...so we went like "phew"... chilled and waited for everyone to come.......took loads of pictures!!! and it was fun!!! the food that night was not too bad....the started was this salmon thingy which was really nice..i really liked it..but it made me miss sushi a lot...i guess there's one thing to do when i go back to Malaysia (dunno when that is though). the main meal was a choice of steak, chicken and a vege something.....i had the steak and it was not too bad...

They had a band playing after the desserts were serve which was nice, they played really nice music but not many people gave response....which was kinda sad....i mean i was one of them lar...but if there were more people on the dance floor..im sure id join in!!

So after that, we headed into town, to this pub called ttonic (yes, thats spelled with double t and not a typo). its where my classmate works part time so got to meet some of her friends that were bartending there...after that, hopped to another pub, Paddy wacks to meet up with some of her other friends. it was nice to get to know some other people and we met up with our lab assistant there....it was nice chillaxing with them ...worrying about nothing !!

But we were too tired so after leaving paddy wacks, they wanted to go back to ttonic, but i decided to go back home....too tired already.......

so home we went , showered and plopped into bed!!!

anyway...enjoy the pics lar....lazy wanna cakap more...hugs!

The more I read about it...The angrier I get!

After reading so many blogs about this Ms Munira girl...it really pisses me off!!!!

She says wearing white blouse (ie the school uniform), will attract unwanted attention, causing rape and such!!!

I tell you, if i see her in person..i would really knock her in the head with my chemistry book!!! I know everyone else would!!

One thing i dont understand is why, she as a women herself would wanna suggest something that would restrict women? why can we do something to the guys instead? why blame the girls?? why can we just dig out the guys eyes? or just castrate the guys? I know its mean, but i just dont get it!!!

Isnt it that the guys are the one who rape not the girls...why punish the girls by telling them that white would attract guys?

Munira, if you cant prove that wearing other colours instead of white will protect you 100% from rape...... SHUT UP!

Go read The Star, Marina Mahathir's Blog, Patrick Teoh's Blog, or even go look at Munira's Blog!

I tell you, after reading all those, you'd definitely think that Munira is proper THICK for suggesting such things!!!

To the GREATEST MUM!!

This post goes out to my Mother!!!!

Mum,

This year, Mother's day means so much to me because I'm in a whole new country,

it makes me miss you even more,

it makes me appreciate you even more,

You used to be there everytime to hear whatever i have to say ( i know i'm very talkative),

Now, everytime when i come home from somewhere,

I dont have you to go " hey ma, you know what happened just now?"

I really miss that!!!

I love you Mum!!!

HUGS AND KISSES!!!!!!

Oh ya, i just remembered that my sister is also a mother! hahahah....i know you are a sister to me but a mother too!! Happy Mother's day to you too!! Love you!

and to all the mothers in the world, you may not be my mother, but i know you mean the world to your kids!!!

SALUTE TO ALL MOTHERS!!!

A little Break

2 papers down and 3 more to go!!!

Thankfully my next paper is next friday, so I've got some time to prepare for this paper, for this is the most unprepared paper...

I really hope everything goes well!! Do pray for me! Thank you!

Besides the exam, things has been rather slow. I guess exams do drain the energy out of everything else... that is why i really can't wait for the exams to be over!! My last paper will be on the 30th of May and that night itself would be graduation night. I know you guys would be wondering why graduation night is so soon, even when we dont even know if we have graduated or not! I guess its just one night for people who have sat for exams to dress and up and let their hair down again! Thankfully we dont have any papers after that, cuz i have the feeling some of them still have papers after graduation night. I really hope the response to this graduation ball would be good!! PARTY!!!

I've suddenly lost my train of thought and just ran out what to say!

I guess i'll just come back another time when i get my mind flowing again!

oh ya, today while i was watching America's Next Top Model on Youtube, this quote really got me laughing :

" that is why they call it cover girl, to COVER UP THE MAN IN YOU!" (I'm not sure if you will find it funny or not, but they were critisizing how this one model can look kinda tranny sometimes.....:P

Hahah...go watch it and laugh!
