| We had something different for lunch, GREGGS. Haha. Walk out from the office at 12.30pm to Northumberland Street to get some breads. Its my first time going to Greggs during lunch hour. Man the queue is LONG. Luckily Guai Lou not as 'good' as Asian. I can see how chaotic the shop will be if its in Malaysia.Got myself a Chargill Chicken Wrapped. MAN THAT TASTE SUPER SUPER GOOD!!! Always I have Cheese and Onion pastry, decided to try something different. Will get that more often =) As we spent more time during lunch time, I was very behind (as usual). WOrk my backside up during the whole afternoon. But my frustration is not as big as Stacey's. Her wrist is hurting her + bad mood = HELL. She got so grumpy and frustrated that she curse curse and curse. While I just kept on typing with the usual speed and ignoring her. Now I am starting to learn that, sometimes dont put too much preasure over yourself and do things the usual way you do. It might cause me to go home later, but at least I wont feel streesss. Its not taht you wont be able to go home when you finish late. So why all the preasure and fuss? Although there is a certain level of preasure (definatlely) but dont take it too seriously. After finishing the batch, I started packing my stuff. Its my last day in Linda's team. From the 1st March onwards, we are offically under Helen. As I am off from Monday to Wednesday, I got to moved my stuff there today.When I pass the piegon to Linda, I was kinda sad. I hav been under her for a year, that sure means something. After all she's a not bad manager who gives us chocolated during Easter =) and being nice to us all. Before I leave UK, I will definately see her and give her a present as a token of appreciation of all the things she done for me. When I went to my new desk, I finallly understand what did the other stuff mean by the P1 stuffs being irresponsible. They make a mess out of your desk by throwing all bands all over the table and papers clips all around. AND they are REALLY noisy >,<. Besides the people, the other thing bad about the place I am sitting is - THE PHONE. Its not bad, just that I am afraid I need to pick up the phone calls when it rings!! AH!!! I dont want!!! Reason 1) I dont know how to take message 2) I dont know the people there 3) I am afraid I cant hear the Joddy slang!! 4) It will definately effect my output if I got to pick up the calls.!! If I am really call to pick up the phone, I will definately tell Helen I CANT!! The funniest thing when I know my seating is - SHIT, I CANT SLEEP AT WORK ANYMORE!! Cause its delibrately next to the manager's table!!! AH!! Did they do it in purpose or its just a coincidence!! Now I got to think of a way to make myself AWAKE for the whole day!! After work, went to Boots to check whether can we buy diabetic medicine without a doctor's prescription. Apparently YOU CANT! Its for Chef's mum in China. Guess why? According to her friend, he/she had this medicine from UK and 'recovered'. Its impossible to recover from diabetes. So, I ended up going to DP and got myself a jacket and a pair of socks. Hehe. I over heard something in the changing room. A mother took her daughter for shopping and the daughter tried on a skirt, and the mother was like crazy over the daughter's look on the skirt. Kept on saying, " You look so gorgerous in the skirt, you really look so beatiful. OMG, it suites you... YOU must buy this.. How much is it?? Oh, no matter how much it is WE MUST BUY it cause you loook sooooooooo beautiful in it!!! YOU DESERVES THAT no matter how much is that!!!!! ..." I had goose bumps in the changing room. How I wish my mum's like that, especially for the YOU DESREVES TAT NO MATTER HOW MUCH IS IT!!! I really miss those days where I go shopping with mum and she pays for everything! And a person to give you a second opinion. I found this little jacket and couldnt decided whether should I buy anot... if someone's there with me, I can decide better. Cant wait to go home!!! |

The whole night I was busy packing my stuff into carton box to be shipped home. I have difficulties in deciding where to go into the box, which to follow me back by plane! Everything to me is so precious! haha. The two hardcover book were almost 6kg I believe ><''. They might got to go back by ship but I am so worried they might get lost on the way back. Why would I say so? From what I heard, the maximum insurance they offered is only £100. That proves how 'safe' and 'secure' the journey will be. And please man, that carton of goods worth MORE MORE MORE than £100 okay!!!! Haih.. but no choice, thats the cheapest way to ship my babes home. Thats why I am using this strategic, ship all Dan's stuff home while 'fly' my stuff as much as possible, lol. (He dont really realize i think. haha.)
After few hours of packing, it seems that the stuff in my room didnt not become lesser but still the same! Haha. It always looked like that there is nothing much to pack, only when you delibrately PACK your stuff only you realize how much rubbish and crap you have. (and those rubbish and crap are soo valuable to you).
Somehow, all in the sudden I got the mood to try on my clothes and match them with accessories. Hehe. (Always do that in Malaysia). I found out that I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR DOWN LONDON!!! The knitwear I bought from Zara seems so weird on me when I wore it! Shit. And the short I wanted to go with it doesnt go WELL when I tried it on! HOW!!! Shit!!! I think I need a new scarf... hmmm... anyway...
At 2am in the morning, we had supper. Haha. Brian cooked fried rice. Salted fish + ikan bilis + chilie padi fried rice. He taught me something new. If your rice's too salty or wet, add cooking wine (Siew Heng Zao)!! It taste GREAT!!!!!! (Mum pass the secret to granny =) )
We then chat and chat and chat.. me, Dan, Brian and Veronica. What is there so much to talk about (what my dad used to say). Issues regarding the people in the house. Things changed, people changed. Everyone (Orang sendiri) got pissed off with orang asing. He used our stuff without asking. And the way he use is just RIDICULOUS!! My mummy brought a whole bottle of sesame oil and that bugger use 3/4 of the bottle in one damn dish! What the heck? Do you ever think of others??!! Then B bought a new Hou Yao and he managed to use half of the big bottle in one dish!! How is that possible!!! WOuldnt that be TOO MUCH!!!! And one more - MILK. HE ADORES MILK!!!! MILK after every meal!! but he wont buy himself!!! 3 liters of milk drank by him him him and him!!!! Rice too!!! he dont buy and kept on using ours!!!! Even when we 'keep' in the cupboard. Onion, garlics and eggs too. Its not us being stingy or selfish. You can use, but with a certain limit and you should know well that you should too contribute!! We arent your parents to feed you!! WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE!!!!
And the most absurb thing was - once B accidentally used his belly pork thinking that its ours (we share the fridge). His respond was - YOU USED MY STUFF??!! What the F!!! YOu can use others others cant use yours? F OFFF!!!!! Thats the most annoying and brainlesss attitude!!! He doesnt pay for the toilet rolls, the rubbish bags, the dish washer. He dosnt do the cleanliess, doesnt take the rubbish out! F !!! You think we are your kakak ah??? You dont even have a KAKAK back at your home while we HAVE okay!!!!! How dare him treat us that way!!! Ths most outrage thing tonight was - HE UNPLUG the internet line all for himself to go play online game!! Although Gary does that too, at least he will stop when we tell him we need to use the internet. I told him I want need to go online to talk with my dad, but he IGNORE ME!!! He said, "I thought you were watching movie... " WTF... Is it only you can watch movie and chat in msn at the same time while we cant!!! F!!!!!
We came to the conclusion that he is just a brat. He is mature enough and doesnt understand the theory of living in a community. He is too individualistic. Almost all Hong Kee are like these. THey think they are in a higher class in the chinese comunity but the fact is that their life's are the most dog life compared to others.
The art of surviving is a long and never ending learning process. You learn all that while in the overseas, away from your family. But obviously he didnt learn anything from the past 4 years. So shallow, naive, childish and brainlesss.
Malaysian have the image of being FRIENDLY and very welcomed by foreigners all because we know the art of surviving in a miex community. We know what to do what to say and how to deal with matters. Thats something good about Malaysians.
Besides talking about annoying stuff, we too talk about crap (obviously). Desperate moments need desperate measurements. People will anything to survive. From being gigolo to selling sperms. ANd that issue relates to the other orang asing. Long story... too private to be post here I guess.

Its our first team meeting in the new team, Helen's team. I would use CUTE, FRIENDLY and FAMILY like to describe the team. Maybe its because the people are not as young as the people in Linda's team. They give me the feeling of being NICE. Hopefully I will do well there. It seems that there is some BIG problem in the team, which is the P1 staffs being very uncooperative causing lots of troubles to the team member. Just pray I will not have any problems with them!!
Today's the last day Claire will be in as a SINGLE lady. WHen she returns, she will have the tittle MRS XXXX. Kelly came in early to decorate her desk with ribbon on top of the PC and directly on top the siling of her table ~ CONGRATULATION CONGRATULATION ~
Older colleagues gave her individual presents while WE the new comer and 2 other guys shared a present - Gift Voucher.
There;s a ladies dinner tonight, but I didnt go cause I dont think I will be able to survive there. Mainly because I dont know them very well and I dont drink. Thats why I didnt go...
Right after work, I went to Natwest to settle things. Boy I nearly lost my heart there. The whole process took me an hour!! First was a mistake done by the person, taking down the wrong banker's draft number, causing the misunderstanding that my money was GONE without drawn by my mum!! ARGH!!!! Hak Sei GOr!!! Then the second misunderstanding was the draft's already secured, meaning the money is sort of frozen and was kept in another account, and the person thought its LOST again!!! Man... Finally at 4.15pm, everything's settle and I should get my money back TOMORROW!!

Right after work, I went to WHS Smith to get something (Cant remember what to get?? Haha). I was looking for a birthday card for Grandpa. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE buying cards. Instead of getting only one card, I got 2 more extra for collection =). I have not stop collecting cards since high school. Cards are so not cheap ><. Thats one of the reason why I dont give it away. I just like to KEEP KEEEP and KEEEP. Haha.
Besides buying card, I got myself a book. Just One More Day by Susan Lewis. Its a true story of a mother, a daugther and a relationship struck by tragedy (copied that frm the cover =P). I havent read it myself, so I cant tell. I believe it would be a good book. I always prefer true story kind of biography than fiction. It just interest me more.
I couldnt believe myself spending 2 hours in the store!!! Got a raspberry juice. Ewww it taste like cough mixture!!!! EWW!!! I wonder does the cough mixture uses raspberry as flavouring. If they do so, they are soooooo wronggggg... cause it taste like HEEELLLLLLL!!!!!!
