Half day OFF

The reason of me having a half day off was I got to get the ingredients to make Thai Cold Noodle for tomorrow's dinner with Soonbeen aunty.

Before getting stuffs, I met up with Stacey and Nicola to get lunch together.
Man, Stacey got the tanning thing and she thinks she look gorgeous, but I felt totally opposite.
Westerners just love to tan themselves, regardless wether will that suite them -_-''.

Stacey gave me £10 as present! She wanted to get me a £10 Gift Voucher from ZARA but the lowest price of gift voucher they offer is £25, so she gave me cash instead.
Nicola gave me a birthday card with £1 M&S Gift Voucher -_-''. Thats the style of British, they can give ANYTHING.

When I went Weng Hong, I am suppose to get ONLY a packet of glass noodles. But at the end I spent 8 times the money I am suppose to spend -- > £9.

Hopefully they will ike the cold noodles I am going to prepare. * PRAY *

Exchage - Shipping

Finally got my Euro changed with Wai Lee. Luckily we went to M&S for it as they dont charged commision.
Its only now I only know the Dublin trip is 4 days 3 nights!! AH!!!! Wouldnt that be TOO LONG??!!??!!

After the money matter, Wai Lee wanted some 'shopping'. We first went to H&M, got myself a vest. I know its a out-dated fashion as the fashion now is those small little lacy blouse thing.
That fella over charged me and luckily the SMARTY me notice it and got my money back =).

Then we went to ZARA. GOD!! I fell in LOVE with that dress!! Its those victorian style of dress, where the chest part is tight and the bottom part is those loose. VERY LADY like!!
But its abit too grand to be wore for high street shopping (I THINK) but I sooo wanted to buy it!!!!!
A lady waiting for her daughter there kept on telling me - You should buy that if you LIKE IT! You will regret not buying it! YOU SHOULD BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY!!! AH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats the main difference between Westerners and Asians. We Asians THINK TOOO MUCH!!! What westernes concern is only LOVING IT, ENJOYING IT.
AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That dress is still in my mind, BOTHERING ME!!! AH!!!
But with that price I can get a nice trendy teen-ny kind of dress from TOPSHOP.
SUAN LE BA!!!

Then I rushed back home for the shipping fella who we just called last night and coming today. (That explains all the last minute packing) We are really lucky as the fella-s were just on their way back to HQ and will be driving pass Newcastle. If not, we got to wait for them (god knows how long) for them to come over to pick up the boxes. Shipping to Malaysia
Hopefully they will arrive before we arrive as it seems that the next shipping will be soon, thats why they are driving around to pick up the boxes.
When I asked him about the insurance matter, that abang said - Tak payah bimbang, mesti sampai, mesti sampai, mesti sampai.
I hope and pray and wish THAT WILL BE TRUE!!
Finally got that SETTLE!!!

Last Minute Packing

Dan just called me telling me the shipping guy's coming tomorrow and we still have a carton of stuff havnt being PACK!!!!
Went to Pound Land to get the tapes and strings. I thought it wasnt enough, but I bought too much -_-
This carton is for - Winter clothings, thick wear, scarfs, my heater, boxes of papers and my new boots.
Luckily it didnt take me long to pack all those into the box as basically is just dumping all the clothings into the black bag!

Damn the last minute packing is tiring ~
It seems there are still stuffs inside the room inspite of 4 cartons of goods being shipped back home! haha. weird. haha.

Mops Saloon

Second time having hair cut in UK. This time, I tried Mops, recommanded by Heidi and Shareen.
Veronica helped me make the appointment last Monday. She didnt know we got to book according to the designer and therefore the receptionist decided for me - Sean. I didnt know what is his price, so I called. Dang dang dang - his price of baisc cut is -£45!!! With the first visit £10 off, its still quite costly!!!
Luckily Jess is available and she's cheaper!! £36. After the discount it would be £26.

I didnt have any particular hairstyle I want. Basically is at least shoulder length and fringe, thats all. So Jess told me if it would be shoulder length, the end of the hair that lay on the shoulder will curl out. THen I said above the shoulder will be alright too.
We started with the hair wash. GOSH their hair wash chairs AMAZING!! Its a electronical massaging chair. The only thing about that chair is - NOT ENOUGH POWER LA!!!! But the feeling was still sensational. The roller from the waist up to the back. * Nice *. Especially for people like me who sits all day typing, major back ache.
After the washing, here comes the 'fun' part, cutting off my hair!! The minute she starts cutting, clumps of hairs falling on the floor and I mean ALOT!!!
WHen she finished, I look at the mirror - WHAO!! THe shortest hair I ever had since primary school! haha.
The main prob with my this hairstyle is, the layers cant be seen because I didnt dye or highlight my hair. So what you can see is a head of black hairs!! Thats all!!! Highlighting or dying hair over here is about the same as Malaysia, but I can get a special deal in Msia which is way much cheaper,thats why I hesitated to do any coloring over here.

So.. quite happy with the hairstyle although Brian said me like leng-mui but Dan said I look really woman in it. haha. ANyway I will still be cutting my hair again when i go back to KL. This time with COLOR!!

Oh yah, for the first time, I didnt feeel like buying anything when shopping!!! Haha. AMAZING HUH!!??

New Stuff frm the NET

POWERPUFF GIRLS


I like HIM (I guess)

I left house 3 minutes later than usual time!! And I nearly miss the bus!!!! Its my first time in UK, running after a BUS!! AH!!! Anyway, manage to get on to the bus * luckly *

Stacey's being transfered to Bridge House's Customer Support due to her wrist pain. More oeration work will only her hand.
Actually, I am quite glad she left. Haha. Not being mean, but sometimes she does distract me from my work!! Hence being behind my target, hence you know - MORE PREASURE!! The sad side will be no one to talk about CRAP i guess. Haha.

Anyway, after work is SHOPPING TIME!! Hahaha. Got my pay TODAY. =)
I just realized that I was overdraft for £5!!! Thats so imposssible!!! I know that account's pretty empty, but not overdraft??!! At that moment, I totally forgotten to ask for the bank statement (not untill now!!) for me to check. Damn, got to go get it tomorrow.
That didnt stop me from my semi- shopping spree! Haha.

I think I should blame WAREHOUSE for being just around the corner!! Because of its convenience, I go there almost everyday. ALMOST, thus spending MORE money. Got 3 stuff from there. THATS ALL.
THen when to Virgin Music Store to have a look. Found C'en's stuff and bought the trilogy of Lord of the Ring extended DVD version. Here comes the problem. We had the Extended version of LOTR VCD!! Maybe I can use the vcd set as present for some exchange gift next time! Haha. Shhh..

I nearly!!! Nearly!!!! Bought 2 posters!!!! But I didnt after discussing with C'en on the phone! Haha. Reason being was - I wont be sticking it on the wall, whats the point of buying it?? but THEN, in the bus only I realized, I can FRAME IT!!! then HANG it!!!! Am I brilliant or what?!! =P
So which 2 posters am I talking about?
1- Batman Returns poster! Its not the cinema promotion one. Its a reallly super super super coooooool one. With the bats and lighthing behind Batman.
2- A SHIT saying for all religion and teaching!! HOW COOL IS THAT!!! Hahha.
Why must they be soo expensive... Haih.. each for £3.99 or 3 for £10. The Batman one was £4.99.
GOt to think about it AGAIN. hmmm..

I just LOVE shopping!! Haha!!! Best medicine for ManDy Lim! * wee *
(Dad and mum is soo going to kill me for that statment!! hahaha)

Union Strike

Biggest stike in England since year 1928 (I think) - UNION STRIKE. WHo started it? UNISON. Its a organisation for the public sector. So what are they fighting for this time? The goverment decided to increase the retirement age from 60 to 65 but the amout of pension will not be increase (I THINK!!). I am not too sure actuallyy!! hahaha!! The strike in Newcastle wasnt too bad. At least I didnt see people protesting on the street. Metro was not operating, only BUSES. Thats why that day, for the first time, I see new faces in the bus!! haha. All office staffs in coats slacks. There were rumours Tyne Bridge will be closeD!!! Then the road towards the bridge was totally congested! Honnnnsssss over where and traffic police's on duty. Basically every where was jam! ANd it took me 1 hour to get home, instead of the normal 15 mintues. Overall, the strike was just mild. No violence, like in Paris, France. haha.
