Today Dan had his last paper… finally the last paper to go, and he will be a free man to WORK… MERDEKA … MERDEKA … MERDEKA [is this familiar to you… after SPM..haha...]
When I was walking towards the bus stop, the bus just drove pass me… Right in front of me!!!! I was like – HAR!!!!! Bus drivers in UK are really mean & bad… They will not wait for you although you are only a few steps away from it. There was once I saw the driver waving bye bye to the person who was running towards him… SO BAD la… That’s why got to learn the smart way. Never run after the bus cause its such an embarrassing act… haha… I never run after bus – everyone who followed me to Kasturi for tuition knows that… haha… Particularly Shu Ni & Ah Mou… hahaha….
As its Saturday, that means I got to wait longer for the next bus to come… Thou today’s not hot, but its freaking windy… = (
But guess what, something better happened… That’s why sometimes something happens for a reason, and it might be for a good reason … haha… Mr. Oakley was the driver for the next bus [Hui Wenn knows best who he is… haha…].
While I was in the bus waiting for the red light to turn green, I saw Dan, Tommy & Adrian walking to the other side. I wanted to call them but couldn’t do so cause I was basically in the bus full with HUMAN BEINGS… wouldn’t want all the attention on me… haha… maybe because we are brother & sister, Dan seems to feel the existence of me and he looked into the bus and found me = ) – Sam Leng Gam Yeng…

We then walked to ICHIBAN for lunch. Everyone seems to be CRAZY… they basically talked bout NON SENSE… really crap man… made me nearly choke to death when I was eating wantan mee… They were joking about Adrian trying to flea back to HK because of his gf… Guess how is he ‘going back’, like what they show in the TVB & HK movies – SAMPAN driven by Thai… haha… just imagine suddenly Dan called Adrian then while they ar chatting suddenly someone speaks Thai… haha… & the sound of the motor… haha…
They even crapped about the way back, from UK back to HK passing Pacific Ocean… haha… Then got waves… tidal waves… tsunami… sharks… haha… Now imagine when they are talking on the phone suddenly Adrian say [in Cantonese] – Eh sao sin zu sin, yao dai long lei gan, qi dit sin keng… haha….[English translation – Hey dude, talk later there is a wave coming, call you back… haha…]. And bare in mind it’s a sampan not a ship… haha…
I guess they have just become insane cause they are finally FREE… free from studies and got to work to earn money… all really sot sot de la.. kept on talking stupid things… haha…

After crapping, Veronica came and meet me in the snooker center then we went shopping = ) . As the grand sale will be next month, Veronica and I decided NOT to buy clothes this month. Wouldn’t want our money spend in a wrong way = ).
The sales here work this way. For example Topshop. They have different stages. For the first stage would be CERTAIN items on discounts and CERTAIN section BUY 1 FREE 1. then the 2nd stage would be 10%, 20%, 30%. The 3rd stage would be 50%, 60%. The final stage would be BUY 1 FREE 1 & 70%, 80%. So much better than Malaysia’s sale huh… haha…
For this month I aimed for a shoe. Only shoe no clothes [I hope…haha]
Today when I went to Topshop, it was packed. There were so many things to buy!!! I love their accessories. They have much compared to Malaysia’s Topshop & they are nicer… haha… of course la.. aiseh…haha…
Went and have a look at the buy 1 free 1 section. It was just messy [as usual I guess…]. If I would have extra money to buy I believe I can buy a lot of things from that section. At least I spotted a skirt that is really nice. But, I had a deal with Dan that I will buy only shoes… so… suan la… next month baru buy… haha…
I saw a really nice pair of earring, wanted to buy but looking at the queue just changed my mind. Would get it on Tuesday after work… haha…
Of course I wouldn’t miss the shoe section. I saw this really nice ballet type of shoe, had a try on it and it didn’t look good on me… haha… then I spotted a sport shoe type of shoe. Looks a bit like Adidas’s shoe, so basically it’s a simple design sports shoe… its 25pound… but then I decided not to rush, wouldn’t want to miss any other nice shoes wouldn’t I .. hehe…

We then went to River Island. Man the shoes there were really nice & expensive. 50 pounds oh… but its realllly really really NICE… its just over my budget, so got to give up… hope that when its sale… the price will drop… haha…

Next stop was Accessorize. I WANT TO ROB ACCESSORIZE ah… love all the accessories and bags ah!!!!!!!!!!! By the way I got a pair of dragonfly earring from Accessorize yesterday [right after work… haha…]

Later we went to ZARA [my favorite]. Bought a blouse from it = ). Then I was so tempted to buy the skirts… I HAVE NOT BEEN WEARING SKIRT FOR MONTHS ah!!!! I always wear skirt back in Malaysia and I miss those days… And finally its spring so I can wear skirts… hehehe… want to wear skirt to Paris ma… don’t want to wear pants there … hahaha…
I tried on 2 skirts and I LOVE them… haha… I couldn’t believe that I am wearing S for those skirts… maybe it’s the cutting… I wouldn’t believe that I slim down… haha…
Veronica also got a really skirt she loves it a lot…. But then… we always remember that sale will be next month… so we gotta TAHAN… I LVOE SKIRTS!!!!!
Going to dai hoi sat gai next month… haha…

Finally my SHOES… I found one which I like it and the price is pretty reasonable 25pound. Its pink in color and looks a bit like the ballerina shoe… But guess what, NO SIZE… GEIK SEI LA>>
Suan… I found another one. It’s a closed up shoe and its round headed. Its those girlly type of pretty shoe… and its reasonable… Finally when there was size for me and it looks PERFECTLY on me, the problem of comfort pop up… cause it’s a round headed and my front toes are rather wide [I think] and its quite cram inside. I hesitated for a long time whether to buy or not to buy… after 2nd thought, whats the point of having a nice shoe where you wont feel comfortable [after a long walk]. I wanted to wear my this new shoe to Paris mah!!!! So I decided to go for a more comfortable shoe = ) I m a person who loves myself more than PRETTY [Oi Meng Moi Leng…. Hahaha]

Oh yah, i bought my monthly bus pass too which cost me 34 pound > <' .. stupid betul.. with taht money i can shop ah!!! Suan la.. thats a necessity = (
they raise the price from 31 pound to 34 ah.. ma de.. with that extra 3 pound i might get myself a TEE ah...hahaa...[going to be insane with Shopping... haha]

Will continue my shoe hunt at ENVY. Hopefully I can get a nice and reasonable shoe there.
I gotta shop for a set of clothing to attend my brothers Convocation… hehe… gotta wear nice nice.. pretty pretty.. hahhaha…

Going Shopping = _ )
ManDy

Today was just another typical working day just that it became worse for these 2 days because Stacy is on leave and there is no one to talk with me. Know what, I had key in 2750 data on Thursday and 2500 data on Friday, compared to Wednesday where I just key in 2100 data… haha… all because I talked with Stacy for an hour!!!! Haha …

Spring is here and weather is getting much better. At least it wont rain like it used to be for the past few months and the wind is not cold at all. Instead it is cooling breeze and there is more sunlight. Talking about sunlight, I was boiling hot on Thursday. I got to take off my jacket while walking by the street and I actually sweat a lot… Man, I can’t imagine what summer will be like. Steaming and burning, basically baking every human being…
I think I got to start applying sun block to work, as what Doc Chiang said; sunlight will never be his recommendation to any patient… haha…
As everyone knows [I think], most the houses here don’t have air conditioner like Malaysians do. So I think summer will be just like hell for ME. Luckily I have this 2 in 1 heater fan… which will be dead useful when summer is here.

Back to Spring. The weather here is better than Genting. What Genting has is basically just cold wind without much sunlight, while here it had what you need to be nice… Sunlight & cool breeze. How I wish Malaysia’s weather is just like this, you can walk by the street without the problem of sweating and have a cool breeze caressing your face… Not that its not cold at all la… it can be quite cold when it rains, and I mean RAIN not drizzling… haha…

I went window shopping today after work and saw sooo many things I want to buy. From shoes to bags to accessories to clothing to scarves… almost everything. I swear if I am rich I will just buy the whole ZARA outlet… & Accessorize.
I think my stay here sort of will motivate me to study even harder for my future. Because from my experience of working I understand the fact that life will not be life without money. Some people say being money minded is not a good thing, it’s a evil thing. but bare in mind that money not everything but its something that you must have. Isn’t it??
Study hard to assure you have a bright future dudes… Gambate !!!! Aza Aza Fighting!!!

This is my current desktop. Dan's going crazy with Liverpool [i think]

Liverpool Crown King

What an amazing night in the pub. It’s my first time watching a football match in pub and the atmosphere was just great. Everyone stood up cheering for Liverpool [thou they can’t really hear it in Atastruk Istanbul], they even sing the club song... cool…
Oh yah, I went there with Dan & Tommy and Tommy was supporting AC Milan while Daniel supported Liverpool. What about me? I didn’t take side because I am not so into football. The only time I am in was during World Cup… lol.

We went into Chilingham Bar first and found that its almost full house and we wouldn’t get a seat [told them to come out earlier de la...]. So we went to next door which is a lounge. I prefer to be in the bar because the atmosphere would be even ZUN… cause more youngster, which means more giler they will be… haha… but then, I don’t have the say… the guys have the say… so.. Lounge we go…

Before the game started, there was the usual stuff on, like open ceremony, dancing, singing; interviewing the managers etc. from the screen we can see that the atmosphere in Istanbul was so HIGH. The fans were holding the giant club flag thing and cheering for their teams, blowing weasels, singing songs… etc.
I would say the Liverpool fans were the best compared to AC Milan. At least their clothings were better… hahaa… and they have more ‘gah chang’… haha… Scarves, flags, weasels, nice jerseys. Not like AC Milan only flags, and not to mention the flags look like rubbish bag and the colors don’t match … haha… [I don’t know whether I got the right team anot ah... so ... if wrong info pai seh la... haha...].
The AC Milan jersey really look like pasar malam pirated jersey man… haha… the color is like… YEww…. Especially the numbers, with black color outline… yukkss… Liverpool’s jersey is great, red in color [I favorite color], gao SAT… haha…

Every Liverpool fan was devastated at the first half. Especially for the first goal AC Milan scored, it happened within 47secs. Everyone was stunt and just couldn’t believe it. The expression on the fans was like as if its the end of the world. Pity them man… [for that moment]. And Tommy was dead happy… aiseh … there was this girl who supports AC Milan too, she screamed when they first goal. She sort of didn’t realize that she is in England not France… haha… but everyone just basically ignored her…. Haha…

Thou Liverpool was loosing at the first half, I didn’t feel that they will loose the match. Don’t know why I have such feeling, not that I know that club very well, but I just have such six sense thing I guess… hahhaa….
The fans in Istanbul were so pitiful, all the screaming and cheering stopped when their beloved team was loosing like hell. Everyone was quiet and you can only hear the AC Milan fans cheering.

Everything changed on the 2nd half. From the top of the world, AC Milan came back to earth. Liverpool started to strike back, and they strike really hard. Scored 3 goals within 10 minutes, is that amazing or what!!!! The heading one by Gerrard [I think] was beautiful. The first goal scored made every Liverpool fan fully energized. Finally the Liverpool spirit’s back. Everyone applauded, cheering singing for the team, IN THE LOUNGE. Everyone was so SEMANGAT >>!! Since then Liverpool kept on scoring again and again till the 3rd goal… * NICE *.
The game was so much better at the second half. And I was so excited watching it, applauding for them cheering for them…

When Dudek save the LAST & CRUCIAL penalty, everyone just stood up cheering for them... When the AC Milan guy [dunno wats his name] kick, everyone in the lounge was cheering for Liverpool - "Liverpool, Liverpool, Liverpool".. then its a save.. then everyone just " YEA!!! Liverpool Liverpool [their club song, i think].

The game was just a miracle to Liverpool. It was 3-0 at first, which for NORMAL case, it will assure them a win, mana tau, Liverpool Ham Yu Fan Sang… My brother said the manager should take most of the credits, cause he knew how to change the game plan after the 1st half and he knows his player well enough to let Dudek take a super important responsible – THE PENALTY.
But then the cute capten Steven Gerrard gotta take some of the credits too. His first goal just stir everyone's spirit up again... good job... [Kelly's favorite..haha..]

Dudek was so cute at the penalty, or should I say smart. He knows how to play the human mind by moving here and there to confuse the player. He even shaked his bon-bon with wobbly legs for the last penalty.

Liverpool doesn’t have much cute dudes… haha… AC Milan players are just HUGE… don’t know what the hell they eat everyday…
The football player’s figure are the BEST, everything is just nicely done… haha… Nice bicep triceps, six pack, height weight, feature … haha… ZUn ah…
Its sort of a tradision to take off the jersey and swing it when one wins the game... why dont change the tradision to taking of the pants??? gagaga... jkjk...
next time marrying a football play will be Syoik ah… but gotta be a Western football players la.. wont want to have a Malaysian football player as my husband, playing in Stadium Merdeka… gagagaga… not to mention the 'jersey'... haha...

Next Saturday will be a match between England & US. And Dan said he will be going to watch it at the same place & I am following... * Wee * I think I am starting to Love Football...
EPL will be starting this summer, gotta get to watch it in a really stadium... at least once... = )
So looking forward to it... but still finger cross * *

Ziff the Jack Russell

Veronica finally got her dog, Ziff the Jack Russell. It was so funny when I saw her in front of my house with the dog when I was on the way back home from work. As usual, Ziff was busy marking his territory while Veronica just stood there waiting for him to finish his business… haha…
I just can’t believe it; Ziff is actually staying in 8th Avenue. He is a active naughty boy… haha… he actually WHAT WHAT [something to do with SEX] at my place and the situation was awkward. Oh yah, he did it to Veronica…haha… no wonder Brian lock him at the door… hahha… They bought him a new cage with sort of sofa in it… * sweet *
We went for a walk around the house area and he did his big business by the road side. Man his business was just dead ‘NICE’. Its like baby’s shit… and it smells really horrible. Its all because of the dog food he eats. The workers gave him dog’s can food, that explains why his dropping are so ‘soft’ and ‘nice’. Hahaha…

I think I find something new about myself. I don’t think I will LOVE small dogs anymore. Not that I don’t like them, but I don’t have the same feeling towards small dogs compared to the big dogs. I tend to fall in love easily with a huge dog than a small dog [Maybe still yes to small cute little fella like Shi Tzu].That’s why I would say that I don’t feel the connection between me and Ziff. I do like him, just that I don’t love him… Okay I don’t love small dogs doesn’t mean I don’t love my beloved Fifi at home… although she is a small dog. She might just be the last small dog I ever love… haha…
I miss Fifi so much… thinking of her greeting me at the gate wagging her tale & her ass together just make me want to cry… I really miss her a lot… when I go back, I will be shopping for dog snacks for her at Pets Wonderland… haha... Enjoy shopping her food although that’s not for me… haha…
I always feel that the bond dogs and human beings are so special and should be treasured for ever deep inside our heart. And its not easy to get a special bond with a dog. Who ever have a dog, please treasure him or her like nothing else because he/her will the best friend you can ever find in the world.

A Good Start for the Day

Man… I wish I have such a start for everyday … haha… wondering what??haha…
Today’s different than other days.
Finally I met a friendly cat, a cat that is willing to let me to stroke… have quite a lot of bad experience with cats [Chong’en’s cat is a good example]. His name is Felix, a black and white cat. I was on the way to the bus stand and there he was, sitting on the wall, waiting for someone to stroke him [I guess]. He is such a pampered cat. Kept on curling around my legs wanting me to touch him, isn’t that sweet or what…= )
Of course I did stroke him until the bus came and came the next good thing of the day – a cute bus driver. The first person I met of the day is a cute driver…haha… it made me forgotten to take my daily Metro newspaper. Pai seh… haha…
Isn’t that good, to see a cute dude early in the morning. It just brightens my day.

One day before I leave Newcastle, I got bring out some guts to take a photo with all the cute drivers and by the way there is only 2 of them…haha… Not to mention all of them are No.1 bus driver which happens to be one of the most skillful driver among all the other drivers. Why would I say so? Its because No.1 drivers drive double deck buses in a super narrow road with super sharp corners… doesn’t that make the 2 drivers even COOLER… haha….

Today Stacy and I had our review. Mine was like the usual review, setting the new target and getting some feedback for Linda.
But this week’s review for Stacy was just different. She cried during the review and why did she do so? It’s all because of Zarna… and I am really surprise with it. I know something is between both of them, but I never thought that it affects her that much. From what she said, Zarna is being sort of unfriendly to her. Whenever she has a bad batch, she wouldn’t be supportive but sarcastic. Indirectly she is applying pressure on Stacy which that makes her uneasy with her work and ended up with a bad accuracy. Luckily I wasn’t in her situation. Maybe it’s because I just don’t bother about her and basically doing my own work… If Stacy won’t get her accuracy back up, she might just loose her contract… and that’s the least thing I want to see.
And guess what, I found out that more and more people don’t really like Zarna. Even Gary who sat next to me doesn’t like her, although I thought he likes her… Man… what’s wrong with her man… okay, she might be a bit sarcastic, a bit weird, a bit unfriendly, but why can’t they just ignore her??? I guess British just want everyone to be friendly…

Today Kelly passed a big bag of chocolates for our group. It’s sort of a thank you gift for the money we gave to her as a wedding gift. Guess what she did with the money. She bought a baby parrot, which is so cute. Inside the bag was a thank you card, she attached the photo with it. The parrot is green in color and its just adorable…
This is sort of the British culture I guess, whenever there is a function or celebration on, a brown color envelope will be passing around with a message on it to call you to DROP some cash it side… then later a thank you card will pass around to thank you for your generosity. Hahhaa… kena a few times liao... haha… force to indirectly… haha…
I got 5 pieces of chocolates for 3 pounds… haha… that’s for Kelly wedding gift. Then another 3 pound for Alystair’s present as he is leaving this Friday.

I just love chocolates… it can just make your day Happpy… Nice … and beautiful whenever I feel down, having a chocolate will just lighten my day… But the fact is just so unpleasant, cause too much of chocolates is bad for you… its fattening.. haha.. but it taste just GREAT!!!! I think almost everyday I am having chocolates…hahaha… I LOVE CHOC…!!!! Hahaha

Dancing is just so nice… hopefully I can enroll in dancing class when I get back…
But first thing first, gotta get Kaki first… and a partner I guess… hahhaa
