On friday, managed to meet moyar and sasa for a dinner and had quite a nice talk. Went to Mr. Curry at Central to eat and I would have to say that I seriously prefer Curry Favor that's located at stamford house. It's been some time since I went to eat over at Curry Favor.... boohoo....

Oh ya.... I also attended the theory lesson for my driving and it's really damn long lohs!!! I was there from 1300h to 1730. It's been some time since I really had such long "lectures". hahaha.....

Also heard from my mum that one of my cousin died in a car accident. It is definitely not a good start for ox year. Haiz.... I seriously hope that my family can have a better year this ox year as compared to the rat year.

Just finished reading "The Boleyn Inheritance" by Phillipa Gregory. I would think that it's a sequel after "The Other Boleyn" because it talks about the wives that King Henry VIII married after Anne Boleyn, namely Anna of Cleves and Kathy Howard. I prefer the previous book since it is more exciting although I still manage to finish the book. I think I don't really like this book because it portrayed one of the queens as a stupid woman and the other an ugly one, which to me, is totally pointless.

I might be getting "The Constant Princess" to know more about Katherine of Aragon and maybe "The Queen's fool". Sasa is lending me another "bibliography" of King Henry VIII and it may give me some new perspectives on this King that reformed religion in England.

31/01- met up with primary school friends and it was really weird because it has been quite some time since we have met up with each other~~~ It has been more than 10 years since we knew each other and it's really scary when you think about it!!! But it was quite nice to just update one another about what's happening in our lives. I think they are planning for a meet up on july and hopefully more people will turn up! (only 8 turned up this time when there's like 45 people in the class!!!)

01/02- Lots of preparation for the family gathering because my mum was preparing like 7 dishes for 30 over people!! It was really crazy with all the preparation and stuff and I was damn sleepy (slept only like 6 hours cause of the msn reunion with 6D people) haha.... But I'm glad that all went well and I think everybody enjoyed themselves. I love the tahu goreng and still think my mum makes the best tahu goreng ever!!

Damn lazy today because of the overusage of energy yesterday and decided to sleep all the way today. hurr hurr.... more updates later~~~

Yesterday watched casablanca on dvd and I would say that it's quite different from the films that we watched these days. I think it's a movie that's made during WWII and it's in black and white.... I don't really know the details but if you're interested, you can always wiki to find it out. Anyways, in this film, there's a lot of things that are not spelt out directly and it really depends on your observation to catch those tiny details in order to really enjoy the film.

For me, I have to admit that I'm not a really observant person because I don't usually want to use my brain while watching the films and thus have missed out quite a lot of hidden meanings that are underlying in this film. But nevertheless, I managed to finish the film in the end (though I don't like the ending X( ) Oh... By the way, it's a romance story and it has quite a lot of small twists here and there. The most important detail that I must add in is that this film is voted the BEST romantic movie made!

Going to meet michelle for lunch tomorrow (AT LAST!!!) and hopefully there will be lots of chatting and gossips with her!! I still need to meet lydia to pass her her prezzie lor!! (Reminder to oneself to do it!)

Not much happened this chinese new year but I seriously hoped that this ox year will be a better year than the rat year because quite a lot of unpleasant things happened last year.

sasa said that this year is a good year for rats so I'm really looking forward to a career that I want! Jia you Jia you!!!

happy advance "niu" year to everyone!!

Just had reunion dinner with my family and it's really enjoyable except that we are all damn full now!!

going to m'sia tomorrow so won't be updating that much..... But enjoy the niu year o!

Today is a fruitful day because I'm helping my mum make butter cookie!




Beautiful right?!~!!!
Going to make more tonight!

Could not meet up with sasa and becky for east coast because I'm not sure whether I'm contagious and I don't want to make anybody sick for their cny. I miss my stingray!!! Cannot eat anything that's seafood for now. boohoo~~~~

More bad news for today, I just realised that I have Shingles which is like recurrence of chicken pox and went to the doc to confirm it. The doc said that it might be due to insufficient rest which led to my immunocompromised status. Why does all these misfortune have to happen to me on my birthday!?!

Today's my chinese birthday but it ain't a good start because I just found out that my cat spoilt my bro's charger and I need to get a replacement and so far, I can't find any of that online. SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!! waste extra money for no reasons at all...
shitty feeling!!!!

Oh ya... finished reading the curious incident of the dog in the night-time and I think it gives a different perspective of human because it is written by a dyslexic person. I think that we never understood how their mind worked because nobody that is dyslexic has written a book or should I say published a book. I think the main reason is the general trend of dyslexic people having a hard time with learning languages as the words seems to be jumping whenever they read. I guess it also happens to the author but one way or another, he managed to write the book. It's an easy read so if you have spare time, go read it!

Feeling ache on my back now. Not sure why but there are two bumps that are on my back and I'm wondering what bit me. Hopefully it's not a spider or something venomous. Hopefully I don't die of this thing. Too many freaky deaths in recent years and it's kind of scary now.

I'm going to miss the chinatown trip with kelvin and all because I just realised that my mum is not making pineapple tarts today. They are only making it on saturday and I think someone won't be too happy when he hears this~~

Since I am so free nowadays, I probably will be the person that updates almost everyday. Anyways, went for a haircut at yishun with my mum yesterday. I didn't change my hairstyle because I want to make it grow longer therefore, I just cut off an inch or two. The cut was pretty fast which made me felt that the 16 bucks spent was not worth it. Nevertheless, I know that I needed a haircut anyways. X)

After which, I went to fuji xerox for an interview for part time project coordinator. However, when I reached there, I realised it was an insurance company and it made me shrink. I really don't want to do insurance related stuff due to the mindset I have of insurance agents. I contemplated for a while whether I should be going but decided to just go ahead with it for experience.

I have never experienced group interviews and this is my first experience. In a way, it is less stressful because there are other people who can speak up if you don't have anything to say. The interviewer commented that I have a nice smile X) hahaha..... and I can either con people/ get conned due to my spectacles. I WANT TO GET CONTACTS!!!! sorry, out of point. Anyways, I don't think I will do it and yea lor.... try to find other jobs. Why is there nobody hiring me? Feel so sad lor..... boohoo.....

Doing cross stitch at the moment to pass time and hopefully get a job soon because I think my parents are a little worried for me. Haiz.....

yesterday was an unfruitful day because didn't do the whole day (due to super nua kuan)

Anyways, I managed to eat my chicken cutlet which made me very happy!! hahaha....

Did I really grow fat? haiz.....

Yesterday was a relatively busy day because I went to change my address on my IC and Finally went to register for driving lessons and all. Haven't got my PDL because the office was closed and I shall get it done on monday. In exchange for doing the above two activities, I changed my tuition timing today which I overslept. Haiz.... Reason being I didn't know how to use the new phone and the alarm didn't ring in the end. I felt quite bad actually and I shall have tuition only next week.

Anyways, I went to meet lab friends for steamboat and it was really a nice meeting. Get to talk crap with them and seriously overate again. It was not really like cheap because I forgot that it's a saturday. Also passed them the souvenier from paris and seriously hope that they like it.

After which, I went to ktv to sing and found out that the medley by gu ju ji is very interesting. Shall go to youtube to learn how to sing it! It was quite a crazy session and the first session with alex. Enjoyed it alot although I think I keep offtune *OFF*. must work on it man! heehee.....

No jobs on classified today. Sianz.... Should I go into teaching straight or should I be more patient and wait?

oh ya.... forgot about the incident where I was rushing to get my phone cause it's ringing and I knocked into my mum real hard. I felt pretty bad about it because my mum has been complaining of pain after that incident. I already asked her to see a doctor and I can't figure what I can do to make her feel better. Haiz.... Hope that she feels better after a while~~~~

Also met up with primary school friend and talked about what happened in the past. I think it was a nice chat and hopefully I get to meet more classmates at cny gathering!! It has been too long since the last gathering and I'm glad that tianz is organising once again!!

Today's program is quite jam packed because I need to go tuition, careerfair, steamboat and ktv! I'm sure to have lots of fun and I think I will be damn tired after that. I'm not sure about whether I want to go to the careerfair actually because I'm sure there will be lots of insurance companies present in the fair and I really hate to be "pestered" by them.

Decisions and uncertainty is driving me crazy!

Just came back from clubbing with ivy and sasa and realised that I have grown old because I can't dance as much anymore. I also looked like an auntie carrying a freaking big cotton bag and dancing away with it! the drinks are also real low on alcohol so we weren't close to high when we drank finish the two drinks. Velvet underground was quite boring because we didn't like techno music.

Ivy has become really pretty (she is already very pretty and sweet le) even though she complained that she has a tummy (which I can't see at all lor) Really glad to meet her this time round because we didn't have much meet ups since university and I'm really glad that we both made an effort to meet out. Maybe I should take more initiative next time to meet up with her! Forgot to take pictures! Alamak!!

Next time I think I prolly will just pub~~~ Too old for this crap

just went to buy my cny clothes with my mum just now! Yes!!!!!!!!!!

Bought two tops, two dresses and one pair of shorts! so happy! I have settled my cny shopping. *Happy*

hi guys, just in case you haven't heard any news from me......

I'M OFFICIALLY BACK IN SINGAPORE!!!!

It is great to be back but I have to start worrying about jobs and things like that. hahhaa...... so guys, do sms/ call me for meet ups (if anybody still remembers me that is)

Got comments that I got officially fatter so please be mentally prepared if you're meeting up with me. keke.....

just a small update from me (cause i hurt my finger and it's actually quite painful as I am typing this entry cause there's inflammation.

Anyways, just an update for you guys, I went to york and now I'm in manchester! haha....

York is a beautiful place and it's really nice just to walk around the city centre and on the city walls...... It's just so nice that I want to go back the next time I'm in the UK. You've got to see it for yourself because photos don't do it justice. It's just such a peaceful place that I want to spend my retirement there man!

Manchester, on the other hand, is a very industrialised city. In terms of buildings wise, it's can't be compared to york at all and everywhere is shopping malls and more shopping malls. I'm going to the uni of manchester tomorrow and I will find my way to the computer dept! that's where my dad studied and I'm really quite excited about seeing what's there!!!

That's the update for now and really kind of tired so won't be updating the pics until i'm back in sg/ i'm stuck somewhere and had the time to do some computer work. keke....

my grandma passed away on 4th of October. She has struggled with this illness for a very long time and I think she is a strong fighter throughout these 2 years. I just hope that my mum is feeling alright because she is very attached to my grandma.

Everything was normal as we are getting hang of doing the chores that are required of us at the job. We have managed to find a place with free WIFI so that we could all our parents after our work at Premier Inn. I called banedon yesterday and it felt like years that we are apart. I seriously have missed him a lot and hope to be able to call back more often! Didn’t call my parents because they are in Malaysia and I didn’t want to disturb them while they are working. We also managed to cook our dinner successfully without much hassle and problems like having burnt meat or inedible vegetable so I have concluded that we are quite good cooks!

But the only major issue I have with the house is the tenants, especially the bitch that live beside us. I am sorry to have used such a harsh word but I really think that she is a bitch and there is no word to substitute it. We got told off when we accidentally used her cups because we thought that there are from the landlord; she ordered us to do the chores (you think you own the house is it?!!!) and she even tell us to keep the kitchen clean cause she found a strand of hair in the sink. Freaking irritating lor! I mean if you cared so much for such things, go and rent an apartment by yourself rather than cramp in a small place with us. I mean there are things that we understand but I think there should be a certain degree of tolerance between tenants. You don’t freaking own the house and you shouldn’t be ordering us like we are your servants. YOU BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Hope you go back to the hospital and give us peace. Additionally, the kitchen belongs to all of us and not yours so please exercise tolerance. If you are unhappy, you can jolly well complain to the landlord and get the hell out of this house and get your own house! I will not tolerate such behaviors and shall try my best to get you out of this house for the short period of time that we are staying.

I am just very angry with her behavior and I will grab any opportunities to tell her off.

Besides the irritating tenant, we manage to do our laundry and get our laundry line up. I am actually quite proud that we did it all on our own. I really think that the landlord is nice but I wonder why he didn’t choose his tenants more carefully.

Anyways, I managed to finish “The Other Boleyn Girl” by Phillipa Gregory. It’s a captivating book and I will recommend it. I’m just glad that sasa bought the book and thus we are able to read it. It makes me know what happened to Anne Boleyn in her lifetime and I seriously didn’t know that she is Queen Elizabeth I’s mother. So if guys are interested, do grab the book and read it. Actually, the main character of the book is the sister of Anne Boleyn but the author acknowledged that her main reference is “The rise and fall of Anne Boleyn” so I think the author is trying to do a third person perspective or is it second? Not too sure about this perspective thing but it’s nice. heehee….

From this book, I realized that how fortunate I am as I don’t have a female sibling since I think rivalry between female siblings seems to be very strong from I observed in my workplace. I will definitely be jealous if I have a female sibling who is prettier than me. HAHA>>>>>> I am just glad that I am only being compared to my cousins whom I don’t see very often in the first place.

I may be starting on the half blood prince that had been long due since I didn’t have the urge to get the book two years ago. I hope that I will remember the previous episodes of Harry Potter so that I will know what is happening. Just hope that it will be a good read too~

We went quite early to our workplace the next day because we didn’t want to be late but we ended up waiting for like 1 ½ hours before we start work. Apparently, they only start work at 830 (which dragged to 900) and we reached there at 730 but we figured out that we should leave a good impression at least for the first day. =p

We were introduced to some of the staff like Kam, Debby, Karen and Jenny and they are quite friendly except that we couldn’t really catch what they are saying because they slur A LOT!!!! Anyways, we sticked to Karen for the day of work since another new girl was following Kam.

Housekeeping is actually much more complicated than I thought and I realized that I didn’t have the strength to do all the things. But as a kind reminder to all that is going to live in a hotel, inn, whatever la….. Please remember to wash your cup and spoon before you use them. I don’t want to elaborate since it may be against our policy to tell everybody what is going on but you should get what I mean right. I didn’t really like to wash the bathroom because it was kind of troublesome and we need to check out whether there is hair in the bathtub. I prefer doing vacuuming and making the bed. Same goes to sasa because we expressed the same feelings after we discussed about it.

It was around 2 when we left the Inn and we went to Loroughbrough to get shoes for sasa and bank account as they don’t do direct payment to us. We went into Barclay and the person told us that we needed to prove that we are staying at certain place before we can open an account. But we just moved in two days ago and thus cannot produce and form of letter to show that we lived there. We then went to HSBC and I got my bank account done. It was actually not very good to open an account with HSBC because I wasn’t able to get a debit card for free because Barclays actually offer free debit card. Felt kind of cheated and wanted to close my bank account with HSBC after going through all that.

We then went to buy sasa’s shoes which cost 2 pounds lor! Sasa is exclaiming that this is the cheapest shoes she has ever bought even if we converted to SGD. I can’t get that pair of shoes because my feet are too big =(

We then went to shop for groceries and hangers (need to hang clothes) and we are going to make salad later on. Hopefully everything goes well and we will have a very good meal later! will update later on how dinner went!!! keke….

Back, dinner was filling! Only the eggs were imperfection as we didn’t fully cooked it. I still love my brussel sprouts and think that I prolly will get them more often than I thought of!! the marinated potatoes is very fragrant and I think I might just forget about peeling my own potato in the future! Feeling sleepy but stopping myself from falling asleep since I don’t want to get fat as I think to wear many layers when winter comes.

The clothes didn’t dry at all and we had to bring them back into our room. I figured it might be better if we brought it in our room so that we can have more moisture as it’s very dry out here.

We moved our butts to the rented room early next day and we told Tina (my supervisor) that we would be coming on Monday to start our work. After putting our bags in the room, we went to shop for rags, plastic containers and chicken (for dinner). It went fairly well and we cleaned up the area and started unpacking our things. You will get to see the picture of the amounT of milo we had in our drawer lor! I slept in the afternoon since there was nothing much I can do and read “the other Boleyn”. I am reading this book because Anne Boleyn (Mary Boleyn’s sister) was beheaded in Tower of London and I want to know why is that so (prolly because she said the wrong thing~~~) It was kind of sad when I read this book and actually didn’t feel like reading anymore since I know that Mary (main character) is not going to have a happy ending with King Henry. But I would say that the book is captivating because I read till 100 plus pages that night.

The other tenant is an Indian and he is quite okay except that I can’t really fathom what he is trying to say because of the british accent. We asked about sharing the wifi but apparently, he is too nua to do anything. I really hope that we can go online soon since I want to contact my family and friends!!!!

Nothing much happened actually, just a little worried for Banedon since he didn’t pick up my call when I called him in London and also for the job the next day.

After waking up, we went to Castle Dunnington to find accommodation since it is the nearest VILLAGE. It is really a village because there is only one street that has shops and all the others are houses. It was hard to find rooms to rent because the agents only rent by the apartment/ houses and we figured out that it wasn’t worth the money,

We went back to Premier Inn and acted kind of pitiful so that more help will be given to us and fortunately, one F&B staff offered to bring us to Loroughbrough to look for rooms. She told us that the chances are higher because Loroughbrough is a town (bigger than village) and it is a university town (students coming back to school now) Thus, we headed there to just check things out.

When we reached Loroughbrough, sasa and I knew that this was the place for us because there are more people (we are more used to having people around us) and there are more shops around us (it’s a good way of killing boredom). We went to Cinocafe (Italian café) and had some drinks while sasa and Rachel(F&B staff) start calling landlords. (The hot choco they made are really quite nice, I would say). Anyways, we had two potential places to see since many of them are unwilling to rent to two people or do not want to rent for a short period of time (3 months).

We walked to the first place and waited for 30 minutes before calling it quits since it was rather long and we didn’t want to hang around stoning away. When we were walking to the other house, the landlord called and we met him along the road. He said that he would be dropping by the other house to pick us up (apparently, both landlords know each other and are friends). We went on to go to see the 2nd house and didn’t really like the place. Firstly, the stairways are really narrow, there are 5 people in the house, the kitchen looks dirty, the loft (attic) has poor ventilation and we had to bend our heads to get around. I think the last point is really the reason why I didn’t want the place. After looking around, the other landlord came to fetch us and we were glad that he made a trip down to fetch us because we prefer his room. Reason being it is nice and cosy, we don’t have to bend our heads, it’s not situated beside the main road, the landlord is very nice, there are only two tenants currently and the rent is 80 pounds cheaper. Everything is good about this place and we decided that we shall rent this place immediately.

After handing the money and stuff, we went to get linens, pillows and quilt (very cold lehs) and luckily Rachel brought us around to buy them cheap. It’s about 25 pounds in total and we are happy girls!!! Oh ya…. the other landlord was damn fierce and seriously, I prefer my landlord!! we went back to our room after the purchase and started to get our linens and stuff on our bed. We even tried to vacuum the place but it ended kinda disastrous. HAHA…… We then went back to our room at Premier Inn to get ready to move in the next day.

One more thing, we met one of the tenants and she don’t look friendly. BAHZ………….

I suppose I slept too early last night and woke up like 5 plus in the morning. Since I have not much to do and the sky is still dark, I decided to lay on my bed and stone. Just a while later, the guy that is sleeping above me started snoring and the other man woke up and sweared “F*** you” and I think he can’t go back to sleep after that since he decided to wake up and shower. Another thing that I note is the guy slept naked! I didn’t actually see him naked but he was wearing their boxes and stuff while lying on his bed. I woke up to wash up after sasa woke up since we need to catch a bus to Premier Inn (our working place)

Breakfast was provided so we were eating cereal and bread. Sasa was toasting the bread and suddenly, she realized that the bread is stuck in the toaster. We tried kinda hard to get it out but to no avail and we just left it there =p. It’s kind of bad but we didn’t want to be involved in any sort of trouble. hurr hurr…..

Anyway, we headed to the Victoria Coach station and I think sasa is a little tired since she was trying to catch up with me (her bag was heavier than mine and I felt bad about it actually) Anyway, we got on the bus and travelled to the Derby and the journey took around 4 hours. When we asked the bus driver where we should take our bus from to reach Premier Inn, he gave my friend a “what the hell are you doing here?” look. When I asked her later, she said that the bus driver said that we should have alighted at Leichester because there’s a direct bus from there. Being left stranded on the bus stop, we popped by a tourist centre to ask for more directions. We successful got onto to the bus we wanted and travelled to Premier Inn.

Upon reaching Premier Inn, we were greeted by the receptionist because she was kind of expecting us (not many Asians travel there apparently). We then sat down with the F & B manager and the housekeeping manager and interviewed us (actually it is more like talking than interviewing since there is not much skills involved in housekeeping). We told them that we didn’t have accommodations for the night and they gave us a room for three nights immediately. We are really grateful that they are able to make such arrangements since we were quite lost at that moment on what to do.

We went to our room to put our stuffs and the receptionist actually printed some rooms from rent in Loroughbrough (pronounced as Lufbrurrr) As we didn’t have internet access, we actually wanted to try asking whether they can let us use the net for a while since we needed to contact our family but apparently, they can’t allow that. As the night gets darker, we also became hungry and the F&B staff actually recommended some takeaways from some pizza place and we ordered Hawaiian pizza, garlic bread and some peach and mango drink. It turned out not bad although it was kind of expensive but we figure that we didn’t have much choice since they were expecting us to order rather than let us eat our biscuits in our room!

We turned in the night rather early since we are not used to the time there.

Just arrived in London today!!!! We were actually very excited about it until we saw the queue for the customs! I think there were 70 or more people before me and we had to wait for one hour before it’s our turn. Just when we were relieved about having to reach the counter, the person directed us to the health control department. We were like *^&%&#@#@$#%@ because we had to wait for another hour before we finally pass through the customs. While we were complaining about having to spend like 2 freaking hours before passing the customs, some funny people approach us and ask us funny questions like where are you from, why are you here, which flight did you take, etc…… When we reached the baggage retrieval place, we couldn’t find our baggage since we have been stranded at the customs for 2 hours and decided to approach the customer service. Seriously, I think that they are really kind of racist or should I say that they have the super bo chup tone I have ever heard lor! Anyway, we found our baggage being placed outside the conveyor belt (I think it has been circulating for too long a period of time) and realized that my bag was kinda dirty. I’m just glad that they didn’t attempt to cut my bag up and my straps are still intact.

Anyways, we went to buy the oyster card and boarded the tube (aka mrt) Everything was good. The train didn’t contain dubious figures, no urine or feaces on the floor, seats have cushion and even armrest.
p/s: It is more comfortable than Singapore actually.

We headed to our hostel first before going for the interview since our backpack was rather heavy. Sasa’s one was 16kg and mine 11kg thus we figured we can’t walk much if we carried them along. We got bad news that we can’t check in cause we can only do it after 2pm but LUCKILY, we can deposit our backpack till we check in later.

The interview didn’t go as well as we expected since the first thing the interviewer asked was whether we had experience in the first place and when we answered no, he became kind of reluctant to employ us. Another minus point is that he wants us to run all over the place to get to the venue of the catering place and it’s as if we know how to navigate around lor! He asked us to think about it and get back to him after we have discussed because he even suggested that he might only take sasa since she has experience in serving tea and coffee. I’m thinking “Does it take a full range of training to train me? Maybe they need us to remember tea names like Earl grey and fermented tea and stuff like that…” Anyways, sasa and I discussed and decide to forgo this offer since it’s gonna be very hard to navigate, only one of us might get employed, they don’t provide accommodation and the jobs seems to be a little unsecure since it will be very dependent on what kind of assignments they have.

We then decided to walk around London since we are already out and went to see the map. While trying out to figure where the hell are we, a staff from starbucks offered us a sample of mango+orange drink and seriously, it tastes nice~!!! (we may be a little thirsty to care about how tasty it is. keke) We started our walk to Tower of London and London Bridge since they are located next to each other and I am kind of excited to see the London bridge. What I actually know is that the Tower of London is a place where Queens are executed, princesses were murdered, they make mint (coins) there, there are a lot of traitors being brought in there (they even have a traitor’s gate for it!!!) and they store a lot of jewels inside a room). We didn’t bother to buy tickets and go in because we reached there at like 5 plus and the place looks too huge for us to finish exploring.

We then moved on to the London Bridge and it was painted blue! OMG!!!!!!!!!!! It was kind of gross~~~~ but I figure if they didn’t bother to reconstruct it, the song that we always know will be become  London bridge has fallen down, fallen down ……..

We decided to search for the Monument which commemorates the fire that engulfed London a long time ago and apparently, the structure is so insignificant that we totally missed it. Maybe we would be going back to London in search of the Monument! We then head for the London Eye since there is so much hooha about it. Before heading for our destination, we crossed a millennium bridge that allows only people to walk across it and we saw Tate Modern collection. It was a power station before it was converted into museum and we didn’t went in to explore since we were quite eager to see the London Eye.

Personally, I did not see the Singapore Flyer up close but they looked exactly alike! 0_o|||| I know that Singapore is the one who copied the idea but I didn’t expect it to be exactly the same. Nothing much about it that I could blog since everybody has seen the Singapore Flyer. Across the bridge, we saw Big Ben!!!! It was marvelous and there’s nothing I could use to describe it. I think the Big Ben is the iconic structure of London since everybody is telling me to see the Big Ben when we’re in London. Haven’t read my guide on what it is used for and stuff. Once I do, I prolly will update in the blog ( that is if I even remember it at all!! HAHAH)

After that, we head back to hostel since it’s getting late and everybody tells me that London is a dangerous place especially at night and we figured that we shall not take any risk if it is possible. Back in hostel, we just bathed and ate a super duper big burger for 2.70 pounds, it was very filling and I fear that I might get fat when I come back to Singapore. so please don’t be shocked if you can’t recognize me when I come back to Singapore.

Hi guys, still alive and kicking. HAHAHA.>>>>> more updates later

Guess this is the last post for the months to come cause I'll not be bringing my lappie over because my backpack is freaking heavy and I really don't want to add more weight to it. HAIZ>>>>>>> I really hoped that I get to bring my lappie and I am still itching to do it. So yea lor.... I guess no updates from me like for 2 months unless I bother to go internet cafe and pay money to go online (which i prolly won't even consider)

Things I will miss:
1) banedon
2) family
3) friends
4) food (actually, this will be the major thing that I will miss man)
5) singlish culture

I'm really glad that qi lu organised a farewell party for me at fish & co. it's kind of last minute but I enjoyed it alot (cause I laugh like madwoman) and hope that you guys like it too

I want to apologise to michelle that I didn't get to eat our last lunch today as time is really tight for me over here. You will forgive me de hor, lao gong?? I will miss you!

I'm just getting very worried about how things will go today and tomorrow. hope that it will turn out okay and if I manage to go online, I'm sure to write a blog entry. Stay Tune!

I guess more and more people are making their blogs private.... maybe it's because they want to be more open of what they want to say rather than being scared of being backstabbed or gossiped( like wrong spelling). Just that it's rather sad that I don't get to know how are they getting on.

One more week and I'll be in london at this time. So Super nervous about what is going to happen there and coincidentally, it's on 11th of Sept ( seriously Not very auspicious) Still tonnes of things to sort out and I haven't even started buying my stuff. Think I will need to get the things starting from tomorrow. It seems a little late now to go down to lavender to get my backpack. *Pondering Pondering* I am also thinking of how much clothes to bring over there. Guess I have to gauge for myself what will I need over there. Will come out a checklist by today so that I would know what to bring over there. Thinking of buying a 50-60L backpack since it's gonna be freaking cold over there lor. Also need to buy stupid camera. this trip is going make a big hole in my pocket lor!!!! ALAMAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If blogger has problem with the uploading of pictures, I might just go to my wordpress to blog. so stay tuned and remember that I am gonna miss everybody!!

I hate my pimples.... when are they every gonna go away!!!!!!!!!!!

P/s: Suddenly felt I needed to be zi lian~~~~ hurr hurr

FINALLY

Got my uk visa done today. It was a little tiring because I had a lot of last minute stuff that I needed to do and I'm really glad sasa drove me back home to get the necessary stuff. I was actually expecting a long queue at the office but surprisingly, we were next in line after the we got the queue number. Had to also take biometric data of us aka take picture and fingerprints of all.

600 dollars flew away and it also the start of a tormenting wait of one week. The person even told us that the result will be in the SEALED ENVELOPE that we are getting when we collect our passport next week. SO MYSTERIOUS MAN!!!!!

I reckon we would jump for joy if we get our visa approved and probably shout and hug something like that.

BUT YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! things are starting to settle in place finally. so happy. Although I lost 50 dollar because I took leave but I'm glad things are done. heehee.......

UK! HERE I COME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been Super busy these days lor!!!!!
that's why there's no updates from me recently......

After working for john little for two weeks, I decided that it's time to jump to HR!!! haha..... so now I'm working as hr assistant at ttsh. Really quite busy since everybody is rushing for audit. I'm really fortunate to have a temp colleague who is really patient with me.
I think the worse part of job is touching those SUPER old files that had fungi growing on them. Damn gross to touch lor! TOTALLY!!!!
I also missed Half price starbucks on friday. Really quite wasted since it onle happens once a month!!!!

Went to old house to let potential tenants view the old flat and one of them really quite potential. Hope that I get them to stay so that I don't have to worry about this anymore!!! whahaha!!!!

Got back my tuition girl also. Another thing on my mind is to write to community centre whether they will be willing to sponsor a class for me to hold free tuition. just pondering whether I should do it though... I also managed to dig out my marianne chong book from ages ago!!! IT's the most powerful guidebook I had!!!! Going to used it again!!!

Watched batman - the dark knight. Joker guy (that died)'s acting was pretty good, two face guy also not bad. Just that batman's acting was okay. I guess he can't shine much since joker guy really did his part quite well. The overall plot is actually above my expectations. Poor thing that the joker guy died..... Guess the person replacing him will have quite abit of stress.....

Didn't manage to see the kitten that I wanted to adopt because it got adopted by another person. HAIZ~~~~~~~~~~~~ quite sad la..... but bo bians lor..... In search of another kitten!!

Guess that's all for now man.... God bless everyone and I think I have to start working on my marianne chong soon~~~

Dear Friend,

PRIVATE AND URGENT.

I wish to intimate you with a request that would be of immense benefit to both of us. I am David Marsh, a worker at Abbey Bank. London, UK. I was the account officer to an account belonging to one of our deceased foreign customers. While he banked with us, I oversaw his account and other official obligations as my office demanded. Unfortunately, he died with his wife in a plane crash on 10Th January, 2000 (The Saab 340, Crossair flight LX 498 plane crash).

Since his death, none of his relations has come forward (To my knowledge, he had no Child) to lay claims to this money and going through his file, I discovered that he has not indicated any next-of-kin. We cannot release the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased. According to the law, if there are next of kin, they all get an equal share. If there are (mysteriously) no next of kin (claiming or otherwise), the money goes to the state government.

Having made a very exhaustive search for any family member that would lay claim to this fund, I decided to take chances with you. I seek your permission to have you stand as next of kin to the deceased as I have all documentations including his Certified Death Certificate that will facilitate your stand as next of kin to him. He had a closing balance of £4,633,543.00 Pounds (Four Million, Six Hundred and Thirty-three Thousand, Five Hundred and Forty-three GBP), here in our bank in London. I also have secured from the probate an order of mandate to locate any member of the decease's family to become beneficiary of this fund.

If this proposal is acceptable by you, reply to me as soon as possible to enable us commence.

Regards,
David Marsh

HAHAHA......

Alright! Updates for the past few days

Saturday:

Didn't know that I was going to be jie mei for my cousin until my auntie asked my mum about it. OOPS~~~~~~ It wasn't really clear to me too....

Had the wedding dinner at sentosa golf club. The freaking place is damn posh and they serve in individual portions!! This is the first wedding dinner I have attended so far that serve food in individual portions. The food is of quite a good standard and I simply love the mango pudding (also a first of a kind dessert for me in wedding dinners)They also had young asparagus in one of the dishes. I'm really glad that this is not my friend's wedding or else the ang bao I need to give will need to be damn big lors!!!

I also wore my super high shoes that day and the most most most HIP thing that happened that day was.......
MY FAMILY went St James with my cousins!!!! we went to dragonfly but the songs are abit retro retro kind. The chinese songs are LIVE but they were popular even before my parents were born or maybe too young. WAs sitting down all the way cause I was wearing the super high shoes so can't dance at all..... Stayed there for around one hour before my bro send us home (cause he had a movie appointment so we can't explore all the places) BOOHOO!!!!!!! But the fact that my parents went to St James still stuns me abit... I have a crazy FAMILY and I love it!

Sunday:

Started working at John little and have to wake up damn early lor (remember that I was at St James the previous night!!!) Was 5 mins late cause I was waiting at the entrance (DAMN STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!) until I decided to go to the back to check whether there's a staff entrance. Due to the fact that I was late, I didn't get to hear all the things from the briefing. Was quite lost cause I don't know anything (obviously) and just looking at other people doing the float in. Alot of situations happened as I am not really used to doing cashiering. Had lunch alone at BK cause the senior pack her own lunch from home. Just going to BK, I spent more than my hourly pay. It's frankly quite shitty if you think it that way!!! After that, had a customer was complaining about us (me and the senior) for working very slow (OBVIOUSLY!!!!!!! THIS IS MY FREAKING FIRST DAY LEHS!!!)

BUT!!!!! someone special(SS) came to find me to have dinner. We had dinner at john silver (CHEAPER than BK) and I headed back to work. SS even waited for me till I end work. Really quite touched actually but I was in a foul mood as my toes were aching like siao. In the end, I realised that it's because the shoes were too small (cause feet will expand after standing and walking for some time). Actually, I'm suppose to buy another pair of shoes But I don't really wanna bother since it's only a two weeks kind of thing!!

Monday:

More clear about what's happening in the morning although I still can't do it by myself. Had lunch alone cause different time slots from other people. There were two customers that left quite a deep impression to me.

Firstly, is a lady that wanted to ask whether there are a certain brand available at other outlets. I really REALLY wanted to help but I don't know that to dial landline, I must press 9 first... so I couldn't help much. In the end, she is quite pissed (cause it's really quite a simple thing to do but unfortunately I don't know how to) and I asked her to go to the customer service cause I think they would be more clear. After a while, she came back to buy the ties and I think she had given up on JL totally from her tone as she was telling me that the customer service can't help much too.

Next, its a young guy who was asking for eau de toilette for a certain brand and I REALLY cannot hear him and ask him to repeat. He repeated but I still can't hear so I just tell him that everything is at that area. He asked me whether I understood what he meant then I said, no.... Despite knowing that, he asked me to check whether there is atock for the thing which I didn't even know. I wonder why he didn't ask me whether I have stock for this (pointing at the sample DIRECTly) It will definitely help me in understanding what he meant.

Additionally, don't keep returning stuff lehs.... damn ma fan de lehs....
;p just joking
I think it's a good experience to get although I felt quite useless after the first day.... haiz.....

Went to eat japanese cold soba today, still taste as good as before. Maybe will go down more often in the future since it's quite near. The raw salmon is fresh too.

going to work soon too....at last got money le. keke..... if you guys want to visit me, just msn me to know the location. :D Maybe I could even meet clarissa for lunch some time. heehee....

I also just realised that cashiering isn't as simple as I thought at least in john little. There is freaking a lot of vouchers, cards and valueplus points to be given to customers. Really pray that I am able to get customers that are reasonable and don't ask funny questions. It's only two weeks so let's hope for the best for me!

You may get rants from me in the next two weeks so just bear with me.

I think now I know why people like to watch tiger woods play golf.

The reason: People know that Tiger Woods has a high possibility of doing miracle shots.

*random rubbish*

basically still slacking at home right now. maybe going for the john little interview later and hope that I can earn some money. If I managed to got through, you guys must come and find me hor!!!!! Prolly want to get the one at ps cause I love town. WHAHAHAHA...... actually the one at woodlands is nearer to my house. *consider consider*

Just watched an anime named bartender. Actually, I'm always fascinated by alcohol (since young) and the anime brought it to another level altogether. I don't think I would mind being a bartender in singapore in the future (though I really want to exclude to throwing of the bottle) Or maybe I would start having my own bar lounge in my future home. The layering of alcohol is just plain fascinating. I wonder why did I even want to study life science (okay okay!!!! let me clarify that I didn't regret it except for the job searching part X| I STILL LOVE LIFE SCIENCE!!!!!!) hahaha....

I totally miss my margarita at cafeiguana and really hope to get a drink from there soon but don't want to go alone lehs~~~~~ anyways, after the interview, I prolly will pop by for a drink or two. Miss my margarita!!!! with chips at one hand and margarita at the other, I am enjoying life totally.

Going to apply for visa soon!!! Jiayou jiayou!!!! travelling plans.... here I come.....

no more posting for yi hong, no more motivation for me to write blogs le.... hahaa.....

BUT, found out from qi lu that fa zheng shi lu has part 2 so started watching it....ting ting died! OMG>>>>>> so freaking sad!!!!!!!!!

Flu also getting better le.... Not as bad as yesterday where I kept tearing and using lots of tissue paper.

going to lab on friday liaos. I think I better show up by then. keke.....

I'm going for commencement!! Haven't done anything except registering for the attendance.

Things to do:
1) remember to buy / rent gown on 27th june from 1000-1300h (that means need to go back to nus! SHIT)
2) remember that convocation held on 11th of july 1500h.

Gotta take lots lots of pictures!!!!! whahaha.....
Maybe it's time to get a digicam~~~~

Reason for not blogging: My laptop was kidnapped to my new home. Having problems with wireless setup.
Result: Only my laptop can work in the house now. WHAHAHAHA.....

What happened from the time I last blogged:
Friday:
1) Got my results for the final semester. Didn't get to check it myself cause my laptop was kidnapped on 29th of May.
Satisfaction: None.
Reason: Didn't do well for the modules. Felt that I could have done better though.
2) Attempt to put make up since I am going into workforce soon.
Satisfaction: Not sure
Complains:
1-Look like I have been beaten up
Reason: Put on dark brown eyeshadows + black eyeliner (which kinda smurge for no apparent reason)
2-Look like those going to geylang
Reason: partly due to the clothes that I wore
3) Got a message from someone that I know of asking "how's suntec?" so I replied "it's okay :)"

Saturday:
Did up the cross stitch for the scorpio mini pillow. Haven't had a chance to take picture yet but I am damn proud of it. HAHAHAHA...... Went to my new house. hahaha..... My elder bro rented Indiana Jones (don't know which episode) just remembered that it was about a cult and the leader takes out the heart from the sacrifice. I remembered watching it when I was young as I was traumatised by the "taking out of heart" scene. Slept in new house.

Sunday: Went back to suntec since we were interested in the book exhibition but was terribly disappointed. Half of the exhibition was on children education kits and children books. Most of the other books were in chinese and the only place that caught our attention is times with a very small collection of books. Didn't get anything in the end and I think the exhibition shows that singaporeans adults no longer read english books since there is no longer a demand for english books in major book exhibition or they are too rich to want to go exhibition. Do find out the answer yourself.

Monday: Very bored so spent like 1 hour blogging in the midst of noisy polishing of the glass door.

Was sleepy throughout the day because I had to wake up early(like 8am?!!?!?!) to go to biopolis to get reagent and do a trial run at lab. I guess that god is strongly advising me to stop doing foolish things by sending horrendous huge rains to nus during lunchtime. Guess it's time to move on to find some proper temporary job. I personally find it hard to believe that it is that hard to find temp jobs although I admit that I am quite picky on what I want to work as. But ya..... I really don't work to work as tele surveyor, roadshows... erm basically sales because I don't like to persuade people to buy or fill up form. I mean, is it that hard to find office jobs like admin?!?!?! Haiz... suan liao le la... shall just continue to waste my time until the europe trip.

Things to do
1) Write resume!

Actually, that's the only thing to do so far.....
oh well... I guess I should be more explicit when writing future blogs because joanne knows my blog addie liaos!!! HAHAHAHA..... (as if I really care..... oops)

Robots inspired by animals

see how fast robotics has advanced! OMG>>>>> the fish really look real!!!!!

Yesterday went to the life science graduation dinner. Glad to be seated with yi hong and xiu wei cause I didn't think of who to seat with in the first place...... (you must be thinking that I am damn blur lor.... which I have to admit) Heehee..... Besides yi hong, xiu wei and me, there were another 4 guys that seated with us. Well..... I know the names of three of the guys through xiu wei and yi hong. Not very close that kind but know their names and went to ktv with two of them before. It was fun chatting with them and talking crap like don't wear white bikini or string bikini. HAHAHA...... (I guess it is hard to avoid such topics sometimes when you have more guys than girls)

I think the food was mediocre and the music is simply OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO THE HELL WANTS TO LISTEN TO ALIEN SONGS when eating... they even got kitaro's songs playing.... I mean I like kitaro's songs but not in that kind of setting man! We didn't stay too long as there was no entertainment given and we think that they want to chase us out through usage of weird songs.

Initially, we thought of going to the bowling area because we heard that it's FREE!!!! However, upon reaching the destination, they told us it's for members only so we kinda gave up the idea of doing bowling (okay.... i know i know..... let me rectify that we didn't give up because we didn't have a choice to start with) The next plan was to go for ktv because xiu wei, yi hong and me are ktv fans!!!!! But we can't decide the location since everybody lives very far apart from one another SO we ALSO had to give up that idea. HAI>>>>>>>> Yi hong then suggested that we should do something extreme!!!! Ideas like watching R-rated shows, tamil shows, sentosa star gazing, clubbing and pubbing came up but unfortunately, all of them were rejected.... In the end, we decided to chill out at one friend's place and hopefully sing some ktv.. hahaa....

What greeted us was a golden retriever!!!!! And it is quite big in size.... I thought it was going to pound on everyone it sees because it seemed pretty excited when it sees us.... Was a little worried about that initially until we found out that he was quite a nice and obedient dog and only barked once throughout the time we were staying there. (pretty sure that it was a he) Although he had a DISTINCT smell on his body and his toy, it was quite bearable and the thought of getting a big size dog even came into my mind. (OH NO!!!!!!!!!!! chanting in my mind: I still love cats a lot!) Didn't really chill la cause I didn't touch a drop of water cause lazy to move..... But it was nice to just play abit of cards, talk abit, sing abit and play with dog.

A nice night and yi hong even send me back to my home! Really thanks a lot! Or else I think I will faint when I see the cab fee man~~~~ I shall also learn mahjong next time. kekee...... Really like this kind of gatherings!!!

异乡人 is a good book and I realised that I am really a Yi Su fan! HAHAHAHA........ If you are too bored (like me), you can read it. Hiak Hiak Hiak!!!!! The ending was kinda unexpected and the book made me ponder on the importance of relationship. Is it really that important? Is it really worth the effort to maintain a relationship? Sometimes, I really hope that I will be strong in this kind of thing. SHIT!!!!!!!!!! getting emotional again......

Anyway, I think I will start on 灵心。I hope it will be as good or even better than 异乡人.

Drank Choya today. It has been quite sometime since I drank choya. It still taste quite good but I felt that it was a little strong. Weird.... really don't know why I felt this way.

Finished two more agatha christie's books, namely One, Two, Buckle My Shoe + partners in crime. Although some may feel that agatha christie(AC) books are like for secondary school (which I also felt because I used to read AC's book during my secondary school), it was surprisingly captivating. (maybe due to the fact that I love detective stories) I really find that it's an easy read because I really hate to read books with cramped words + bombastic words. The pacing for both books are also alright although my preference would be One, two, buckle my shoe because Partners in crime is more of a collection of short stories. I would say that the former is quite a twist because I have correctly predicted the murderer for the first book that I read after watching the anime of AC's books. Guess there are more surprises awaiting for me~~~~

Starting on Yi Su's books AGAIN (guess must be TOO ENG LIAOS), 异乡人，or should I say half way through the story. It's quite exciting because I am guessing that the lead male character is an alien since that guy gives the female lead character weird flowers that the girl never seen before. i still don't know the ending (obviously) but then I think I am prolly right since I am a Yi Su fan. WHAHHAA...... Maybe I should start a Yi Su fan club and be the director of the fan club.

I may be starting on other stories that are introduced to me. For eg, the curious incident of the dog in the night time and short stories by Edgar Allan Poe (horror stories). I never really read horror stories before but I think it will be exciting.

p/s: I think too much time has given me too much imagination on EVEN stories!!!!! OMG...... I really should find a job soon and get my butt moving.

went through some rough patch recently and seriously considering whether I should continue on? I'm really quite confused as to what I should do. What difference does it make if I cry and if I don't cry, does that make me abnormal? Being faced with such dilemma, I don't know whether I should react logically or should I react in accordance to social norm.

I have made up my mind on going to uk. I hope I am able to find myself again in the midst of a different city. I hope that I will find the answer that I always wanted to know. I don't expect you to do anything. I just need some time to think over this again.

Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

Take the quiz

oh ya.... I watched ironman the other day and found it quite nice actually. It's a show worth watching in my opinion. Maybe it's because I liked to watch the cartoon last time. I also heard that it follows the actual story. keke......

my grandma is also getting better. phew.....

It felt quite hollow when the exams finished. Not much to do, things to do, work to do.

Yesterday was quite a sad day cause my granny is hospitalised and that the doctors don't think they can do an operation on my granny due to her current condition. I felt upset because my granny is struggling to survive. My mum was also rather upset as she told me that time is not on my granny's side. She is also upset that her children (us la) didn't take time to go and visit my granny more often. Maybe I really did not do my part as a grandchild to go and visit her. Maybe I should just take out 2 hour to to visit my grandma. Maybe I should just not study for my exams and prepare for fyp presentation and thesis in order to see my grandma.

Maybe I really should have done that so that my mum will not be that upset.

I'm officially jobless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! finish my papers in one day! HAHAHA...... I'm just glad it's over for now. But from tomorrow, I have to start worrying about getting a job. Really need a job to sustain my expenses man...

Alot of planning will go on from tomorrow. Also need to collect transcript tomorrow man. haiz.... have to go back to far far nus and also need to collect my stuff from my lab. Really need to clear those things man.

Pretty tired. Shall update more later today

Have been thinking of what I should work as after I graduate and everybody seems to be demoralising me. hahaha...... I'm not sure why this happened too. haiz....

oh gosh~~~~~ I think I have been in slacking mode ever since the fyp submission. Buck up buck up!!!!!!!!!

Anyways, there was a "more fruitful than normal" discussion yesterday on the quotes of Oscar Wilde. I must say that there are some that I don't really understand (mainly due to my limited vocab) but there were some that are very true and funny.

e.g
"I can resist anything but temptation."
"Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much."

The ability of words to mean so much with so few words is amazing.

Not forgetting the 成语 that we always have to remember when we were young.

Chinese rules! HAHAHA.......I think I siao already...

Food for thought: Why do you read novels? For the plot or style? I am in for the former category because I like reporter style (aka Dan Brown). I'm sure that if I continue to persevere in reading, I might start to appreciate the latter which adds more pleasure in reading.

I shall end this post with a quote that reflects singapore's education system

"We teach people how to remember, we never teach them how to grow" - Oscar Wilde

I think I'm a green eyed monster!

whaos.... yi hong's blog inspired me to write~~~~ kekeke......

now have to prepare for the exams and have to start planning for the uk trip. i'm actually quite excited but I was hoping that a guy will go with us since I do think it's safer with a guy around la.... Hopefully, an angel will come down from heaven to help us out~~~~

Currently, i managed to find a roundabout trip on quantas at 1630 per person and that included tax~~~~ HAHAHA..... but I'm abit worried about the lodging and the work we can find there. I might start to find agencies where we can work in hotels or so.... I think it will be better that way cause some agencies did say that they would provide accomodations. so if we are able to settle that, it will be killing two birds with one stone. hiak hiak hiak.... Another thing that worries me is the amount of time we can spend there (due to the tuition grant).

Our current plan is to work for 2 months then travel europe for one month. But I think I will keep the planning of the travel to a later time when we have sort of settled the working part of the trip.

During the wait to go europe, I will be finding temp jobs in order to supplement my europe trip. HOpefully, I can find one straight after my exams. whahahhaa......

my thoughts are in random mode so don't mind me. hahaha.......

next on, marriage!!!! I haven't even plan anything on that! I think I am damn relaxed la...... However, I did set the age I want to get married..... which is around 26- 27 cause I want to do some travelling before I settle down. We do have thoughts to settle at punggol and yishun but the placement at yishun seemed abit erm....... ermm....... ermmmm....... haha... I think I want to do on site survey to know whether it's convenient.

Yi hong, jia you jia you.... having such a long relationship means something. I'm sure something good will turn out for both of you.

it's been a looooooooooooooooooooooooog time since i last blogged.

Thesis submission today was at 3pm and i managed to submit at 2:55pm today..... phew...... was a rollercoaster ride man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's really a relief that it's over but then arh..... i kept thinking about it.

MUST REALLY STOP THINKING SINCE I CAN'T DO ANYTHING LIAOS....!!!!!!!!!!!!.....!!!!!

I just need to get my ass to UK man~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
