Every year on 5 November a failed conspiracy against the monarchy is remembered with fireworks and bonfires, even though the event took place 400 years ago. Why did the Gunpowder Plot take such a hold on the national memory?
Want to know why? Want to know the history... haha.. please visit
The Enduring Memory of the Gunpowder Plot.
So now in the modern time, people sort of have bonfire to remember that day.
There were few places having such gathering. But the problem was, we didnt know where excatly it is. And according to Brian (which I dont know whether is true), those places werent organized by professionals, its a place where all people gather to light the fireworks.
We went searching for places to see... I called Stacey to know where the place was and she told me somewhere I dont know... haha... Bt as she said so, its rather late for us to go as the firework display would end by the time we reached there.
I even called Leah's mum to check whether does Warwick Street has anything on, cause Veronica & Brian told us thats one of the place (they went patroling in the 2 seater car...) .
We ended up buying our own fireworks to play -_-''.
Chinese will always be chinese... Always trying their ways to earn more money & save more on production. The fireworks we bought was FROM CHINA & there were a few packaging inside which we think will have different kind of effects & patterns. Mana tau... actually all of the are the same thing.. just pack in different packaging...
At first we couldnt decide where to play cause we saw one family playing in their backyard and the BOMB was soo loud (we thought ours would be that great) & the car alarm went off. THe Veronica witness a house caught fire cause of the fireworks... haha...
So we decided to go to Heaton Park. It was soo dark that I couldnt see the road. And there were a flight of stairs towards the basketball court. OF all days, I didnt bring my Sony Ericsson mobile, at least with that I can use the flash as torch light.
We spent about 30 minutes there seeing the stupid fireworks... which is so a waste of time & money.. oh yah, that stupid box of stuff cost £8... haha..
Someone uninvited came that night. Hahaha... And it was of course the bitch, Pat. WHy is she here? Cause Adrian's new girlfriend happen to be her friend. ANd the HK gf invited her here. I didnt speak to her, nor look at her. Seriously, I didnt look at her & she didnt dare look at me. I really felt disgusted to look at her bitch face. The minute I heard her talking, I felt like vomiting >O. Only now I realised how much i dislike her.
THe way she dress was sooooooo CHEAP. She's like trying so hard to show off that she is rich... Ya right.. Wearing like a slut... Typiccal kind of clothing... Which I think its soo not for girls at the age of their early 20s. She;s trying to dress classy which she failed TERRIBLY... haha...
What ever, didnt bother about her at all... I hope she doesnt come again.
ANd if she does, dont try to talk to me or even make me angry, cause I wont hesitate to humilate her in front of the public.
Guys will be always guys... Adrian didnt want to purchase the fireworks cause it wasnt cheap. But he then decided to do so just to impress his newly girlfriend. Somehow, I dont tihnk he is a good guy.. I mean in terms of relationsshipp... cause he sort of take it as if its just a game... ANd the way he treats girls... No no no for me... haha... Tell you guys next time... haha.

New MP3 Zen Sleek 步步高升
You guys must be wondering why I put 步步高升 (Bu Bu Gao Sheng)... cause of the capacity...
My very first mp3 player was 1G, then become 6G... then now 20G... haha... Not that I wanted okay... its because I am forced to... haha...
THe Samsung somehow went sot Gei... I couldnt reopen it... and I couldnt reformat it... so wats the fuss about? GO get a new one la... haha... Thats the beauty of UK... Everything can be REFUNDED or EXCHANGED... and I mean EVERYTHING.... For electrical goods its even better, even after 6 months... any fault, you can still refund or get a new one... haha...
As I've lost confidents in Samsung players, I decided to go for something more practical & reliable instead forloook. No doubt Samsung has the loook, I saw one from Samsung also 20G also £199.90 even better COLOR SCREEEN... But... I went for Creative non-color but much reliable... All the guai lou recommanded me that instead of Samsung or Toshiba which was superb design with the button designed like a cross which will light up when you presss... cool huh... But still I went for something like so NOTHING but the same price...
I am thinking... With the same price but less function, does that make Creative use more quality stuff on their mp3? It must be that way... It must....
The only bad thing about it is... I cant read chinese anymore in my mp3 player >,<.. Samsung has the chinese software in it... And I got to get use with the non-color screeen... And its much bigger >,<... haha.. Fan ah... But the music quality's goood ^^.
I saw the Ipod Nano black in color.. super coool... but not suitable for me... as its tooo NANO... too slim and small which I will break it SUPER EASILY>.... I think my ass or the stuff in my bag is enough to squash it.. haha..
I m thinking of getting those speaker specially for mp3 players.. cause its sooo cooool... haha....
After spending an hour in Dixon, went to Fenwick to get some food stuff... I think what dad said might be abit true... haha.... He claims that I buy things without looking at the price and place... Buy vege frm Fenwick (more high class than M&S)? TOoo rich izzit... haha.... Not taht I want la... cause its dark already.. and its just by the mainstreeet, convinient and laziness are the factors taht drive me in there I guesss... haha... I think this will be my 1st time... and maybe... 2nd? hahhaa... who knows....
Hhmm... wat a tiring day.... Damn glad its night now... and I am going to bed now....
ANd tomooorws FRIDAY>.. WEEE... hehee..
NIght folks....

End of the WORLD
Its a really shocking news to everyone... Well almost everyone except the contractual staff (me). The bad news was the CIP System will be carried out March of 2006, which means about 700 of the current staff will be deployed. With the new technology, man power will be reduced to only 600 people compared to the current amount, 1300.
The minute the manager annouced that, someone gasp really loud... and cursed "shit!!". I dont know why, but somehow something inside me was shaken. I felt so sorry for them, cause most of the are working parents and elderly person. Lossing one income can be a serious problem to a family and for an elderly person, its really tough to compete with the new generation. I still remember seeing a uncle typing using only 1 finger (how to compete with 10 fingers woh!!!)
I remember seeing the faces on their face and the atmospher in the room was soo tense. I sort of can understand how they feel, and I can actually feeel as if I am in their shoes. Why must it be this way? To them its really like the end of the world, cause most of the people had spent almost half of their life there, and now all in the sudden, they are called to leaave?
I heard a lady joking that she wanted to wait till she retired before leaving... but now, looks like she got an early 'booking'.
The system is gonna cause a lot of people to loose their job as it involves a few main division in the United Kingdom, Manchester, Preston, Bolton & Liverpool. Imagine, every division loosing 600 people, 4 divison = 2400 people... How shocking & sad is that...
I guess thats the cons of techonolgy to human kind. Less and less humans are needed to complete the work & technology taking over humans... maybe one day, AI (Artificial Intelligence) will just take over the world... who knows...

Marks & Spencer SuShi
Finally I found a place for sushi!!!! But its abit expensive compared to Malaysia (as usual). After that box of sushi, now I am craving for MORE and MORE...
Damn M&S, 6 piece of sushi (2 prawns 2 tunas and 2 cucumber) cost me £3.80... damn it...RM21 for that craps... but really nice craps.. haha...
I so wanted to learn how to make sushi, but the ingredients wont be cheap at all, futhermore if I do, I need to do for the whole DAMN HOUSE paying ALL by MYSELF... it would cost me a bundle man... Not fair... so I wont do it... hmmph... haha...
I M CRAVING FOR SUSHI!!!!! Maybe I would call Oh-Ma to teach me do... haha... Then eat there enough.. hehee..
My Treasure Box
Got nothing much to post today. Hmm, went and meet Dan & Heidi in Fenwick right after work.
Dan wanted me to buy him a mobile (again)... haha... He was trying soo hard to talk me in, by saying buying me this & that... haha...
I've always wanted to buy another winter jacket, but... I have only 5 more months of cold weather to go through... So, no point buying something that expensive for only 5 months right? I might as well use that money to buy other stuff like bags, perfumes, skirts, pants, accessories... haha... There are soo many things from topshop i want... haha...
Here's my treasure box.. haha.. its actually a lunch box for kids from World of Disney... haha... But nows its my Treasure Box.. keeping all (part) of my accessories...
