Dublin

Our flight was at 7.50am and it was not NICE at all. Its.....

Thats all I wrote for my Dublin trip. hahaha!!!!
The fact is that I am just too lazy to post a post about the trip.... juz too lazy...
Dublin is a very very very busy city... the traffic is what you expected frm a big city like London & KL. Cars, buses, tourist buses etc everywhere, just that they have one transportation added in the chaos - tram.
Basically the trip was really tiring, non-stop walking and non-stop of visiting, sight-seeing.
I didnt really enjoy the trip (which is expected) as I wasnt with the right people... but I hav no choice... so nothing to complain about I guesss...

Overall, its a pretty nice trip, but not an enjoyable one... =(
Which to go back again??? Maybe not... hahaha...

Notes: Pubs, museums, foood, disagreement, shopping.

Happy 19th Birthday

Happy Birthday ME = )
This post gonna make me sound so sad! Haha. When everyone thought there will be a great celebration or what so ever, there is actually NOTHING. Haha. Not even a CAKE. Why is it so sad?
1st - I didnt mention it to anyone
2nd - My only family member is working
3rd - I dont bother to celebrate or anything.

To me, birthday means an ordinary day. The only difference is just the PRESENTS. Thats all, so i am not really sad when there is no celebration. That doesnt mean I dont like celebration, just that if there is NONE, its not too bad.
I didnt tell anyone is because I dont like the feeling of owing someone something. Telling them means expecting something from them, making them feeling the obligation of MUST celeberate my day, and thats something I dont like.
Besides that, I havent even finish packing for my trip to Dublin for tomorrow =).

So, a NOTHING 19th Birthday +_=

PS:// Thx soo much for the cards!! They meant so much to me and I will treasure them.

What a day in Spring - with SNOW!! Luckily it wasnt for long. As it was snowing and rainning quite heavily when I was on my way out, I took the cab instead of bus.

I think its really weird of me being puntual, if not why she wasnt in when I arrived exactly at 3pm?
We were suppose to make kimchi today, but a few people turn up that day, and that made it too many people for kimchi making, therefore we just had dinner there.
OH yah, I took the Thai cold glass noodles and Heidi brought a bottle of liquor which taste abit like bailey just that its Choclate. (Forgotten whats the name, its from M&S)

Heidi and I were like crazy old lady when we saw Liam. He's another British mix Korean little boy and I swear he will be a 'killer' when he grows up cause he is dead CUTE!!! His mum is reallly pretty as well, who spent 1 year in Taiwan learning Mandarin (thats why we couldnt speak Mandarin if we were trying to talk bad about them =P ).

I think today is the day I might actually consider murdering a child. Why? Cause Leah just get on my nerves!! At first we were playing (still alright) but then she got aggresive and was turning to be 'VIOLENT'. She wouldnt let me stop and kept on tickling me and that got me MAD! Till the extand she hit my head (I think) and said "You can go home now?" (Cant really remmber, but it sure is something not polite) I got really angry at that point and actually wanted to go home. Luckily Heidi's there and tried to smooth things out.
To be honest, I DONT LIKE HER!!! But cant act nasty to her isnt it, cause I am well educated by my parents =P haha..

After dinner basically is NOTHING TO DO, so they played Narnia. Something went wrong with the sound system and they worked prolly 10 minutes trying to fix it. As I've watched it and dont find it NICE at all, I went and help aunty with the cleaning in the kitchen.

Being Saturday, all the cabs were fully booked till 1am. Thats why I got to stay back till 12.20am (again) to wait for Dan to come and fetch me back home with his takeaway driver, Dicky.

Its just another typcial Korean dinner night, just 2 things different. The people - Liam, mum and the korean dude with a newly arrived Korean girl (super polite ans sweet - totally my opposite. haha) and of course the FOOD. This time she cooked the kimchi in a pot with other stuffs in it which is SUERP SUPER NICE!!!! Somthing like tomyam but its not sour. * DELICOUS *
Wait for me to do it for you folks when I get back. haha =)

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.
