Weekend here I come!!

I had this for my lunch today, quiche with four types of salad.

I seriously love this, especially the cheese inside the quiche, yum yum ~

Between, I'm looking forward to tomorrow because there will be a gathering for students from Malaysia at the campus. So I won't be alone tomorrow night ~

Also, I have got a plan with my friends this weekend~

Shopping and exploring the city on Saturday and they will prepare lunch for me on Sunday.

Awwww, lovely weekend here I come ~!!!

And now I feel bad ...

So, my free and easy Wednesday is going to the end.

I have done nothing today, I mean nothing.

Went to the bank this morning, wanted to get my Atm card and cheque book but I couldn't.

So I went to Tesco again to buy my lunch and some biscuits, then I have been staying in my room, watching movie and chatting.

My plan was to go to the library and I supposed to be there but I didn't and I start feeling guilty now...

What am I doing here? I should have worked harder than others...

I can feel a strong invisible stress around me since the lectures started.

University and high school are totally different things.

Teachers will prepare every material for you to study, write the note down for you on the board, tell me which part is important etc etc ...

Uni? The lectures won't give a damn on you if you can't catch up, they just keep on talking, talking and talking, for the whole one hour lecture.

That's uni, which I'm here ...

I should persuade myself that everything is going to be fine,

I will fully understand what the lecturers are talking about few weeks later etc etc ... I just feel bad ...

Ok, fine ...

Stop complaining here and here's my joke for you guys:

Sam and I were having dinner in the kitchen and he started to sing ...

* Sam was singing for few minutes*

Me: Sam, do you want to know "shut up" in Malay?

Sam: *stop singing finally, laughed * Ok, what is it?

Me: Diam!

Sam: *repeated diam* hey, how about idiot?

Me: Bodoh ...

Sam: DIAM, BODOH.

and it was my turn to shut up and finished my dinner ...

I feel good!

Today is a very rare night that this floor is incredibly quiet.

My floor mates used to party every night, screaming around at three in the morning etc etc ...

I'm so happy with this atmosphere. I hope that it will last longer, even though I know it won't ...

So I'm going to enjoy every minute of today, I'm alone, without any noises.

It's been ages since I owned a quiet space.

Had a tutor meeting in the bar of my hall just now.

My tutor popped out a stupid question for me:" You look like a Chinese."

I was like ... what the hell are you talking and I answered:"Well, I'm Chinese."

Tutor:" So you can speak Mandarin?"

Oh for god sake, of course I can and I can speak Malay and English and Hokkien and Cantonese as well...

The funniest part is even though both of us can speak Mandarin but we still talking in English, it makes me feel so weird and cacat ....

I have a really strange timetable.

Can you believe that I don't have a class to attend to tomorrow?

It's so weird and great, indeed.

What makes me feel good today is I've finally done my laundry !!!

Looking at the clean clothes makes me feel so comfortable and happy ~

And of course, three pounds were gone ... 15 ringgit arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ....

And another thing, I can understand more easily what my floor mates are talking about after some days staying with them. At least I use "pardon" and "sorry" less and I can talk to them more.

In conclusion, I feel good right now ~ !!!! Yeeehaaaa!!!!

Saturday.

Woke up quite early in the morning, had a little chat with Race in the kitchen. That poor guy was having cough and he was still drinking coffee and smoking, and what made it worse is that his girl friend just left him. I feel sorry for him and myself for being an idiot who don't know how to make people feel better. Also, his high speed English was driving me crazy so when I couldn't catch what he was talking about, I just kept on laughing ... ...

Then I isolated myself in my room ...

Kept on changing the movie that I was watching ...

Finding people to talk to on msn and facebook ...

Took a nap ...

What on my mind was : i'm bored i'm bored i'm bored i'm bored i'm bored i'm bored i'm bored ...

And finally ...

After complaining to soo yee how bored I was, I decided to go to the kitchen to see whether there's someone to talk to. As I walking through the corridor, I met Sam so we decided to watch a movie as we had nothing to do.

Guess which movie we watched?

无间道 ...

sound weird huh ?

and Sam was feeling weird that why they are using "yes, sir" , " thanks", "sorry" in a Hong Kong movie.

He thinks that they should have spoken Cantonese instead of English ...

I couldn't answer his question as this is absolutely no problem for us ...

What made me proud of was he actually think that I'm cool as I can watch without the subtitle ...

The advantage of living in Malaysia ... *sweat*

And now, after the movie, after my dinner, I'm here, feeling bored again ...

Finally I met Malaysians !!!

The induction event of my course has finally started yesterday so I managed to meet Malaysians here but too bad, they are the third year student from Inti, Help and Brickfield. So after the induction event is over, we're not going to meet so often.

There are quite a lot of law student here, most are from different countries and I rarely see Asian. I started to worry if I can catch up the lectures as my English level is not as good as them.

Having burger for lunch these two days. It costs me approximately 4 pounds for a burger here, which means I have to spend about RM 20 for my lunch. Damn it, I can have my lunch in a fancy restaurant in Malaysia with RM 20 in my hand ... As I know this is not a place for me to be spendthrift, I have sandwiches which are from Tesco most of the time, with my beloved Milo. It's just so ... satisfying. Trust me, those sandwiches are awesome!!

My very first lecture will be started next Monday so there are just few days left for me to enjoy. What made me happy today was pps can be used here !! It's sweet , isn't it? haha~

Also, what really made my day was ms. chair has finally created her own blog after all.

Please pay a visit :

http://fishyi-yee.blogspot.com/

Besides, there's one more thing I want to share with you guys. It was a really sunny day when I woke up in the morning today. I was so happy with the weather and I put on a thin sweater and also left my scarf in my room.. and guess what happened next ? It started to rain when I reached the campus .... I was like ...

Oh God, you got to be kidding !!!!! $%$^&*&*%%#$#%#@

Some people here.

Finally I had a chance to explore the city centre of Liverpool today, thanks to my friend, Fahmi who is from Indonesia for being my tour guide. I was so excited when I finally saw shopping centres here. The city itself is a vision, it's a breathtakingly beautiful city and I really had a good time there although I was just loitering around and taking photos with my FOC camera.

Mona asked me not to write about what I had for dinner, what I did today but to write about the people here. Well, I haven't met any Malaysian and course mate so far as the induction event of my course will only start tomorrow. So my only friend here is the guy from Indonesia and some hi-bye friends at my hall, who are from different countries. There're Sam from London, Everardo from Mexico, Melanie, Sarah No.1, Sarah No.2, James, who I don't remember where are they from ... As you know, I'm not a good speaker so it's a little bit hard for me to communicate with them. Some of them are talking too fast, some of them have an accent, which is really too hard for me to catch what they're talking about. Also, I can't talk that fast as they do. So this is the only problem I have here. I try to stay at the kitchen longer to chat with them, so I'll probably get used to it after few weeks. Anyway, they are all friendly and nice.

I haven' done my laundry yet as it costs me 2 pounds for washing and 1 pound for drying so I'll just wait until my clothes are piled. The only thing I washed is my socks and I used the hair dryer to dry it as there's no place for me to hang it here. hahaha.

And they don't boil water before drinking. I must be a freak for them for boiling water last few days...

The sandwiches which sold at Tesco are nice...

The induction event will be started at 9am tomorrow so I really really need a good night sleep as I've been walking and walking today ...

It's 9pm here but it's almost 4am in Malaysia so ... good night and good morning ~

I want to thank seet seet koh for writing me a blog post. I love you ~ hehe

How am I here?

Sorry for disappearing for few days from you guys.

I didn't know that I need a cable to surf on the internet here...

It's the second night since I reached here.

On the day I arrived at the Manchester Airport, I couldn't find the staff from university who should be wearing bright orange jacket as they mentioned through the e-mail. However, I managed to meet another student who was finding the staff too with the help of a kind officer at the information desk.

He's a postgraduate from Indonesia. God knows how touched I was when I finally met someone from Asia...

After lingering around the airport and "enjoying" the cold wind outside the airport, we finally found the staff and we arrived at the hostel safely.

My room was completely bare. Empty wardrobe, empty shelves, empty cupboard ...

After unpacking my luggage, I walked to Tesco to get some bread and milk but I wanted to buy pillow and duvet actually...

So the stupid me walked back to my room and after full filling my stomach, I went out again, to get the most important things.

There's a shop called Asda here, which like Jusco in M'sia but it's smaller.

I got a pillow, a duvet, duvet cover, pillow cover, bed sheet, a kettle, cutlery set, hangers and shampoo and when I finally realised that I had to walk back to my room which is in a faraway land from Asda, I regret buying all those things immediately but I didn't have a choice but to walk my ass off to get back.

I never knew how strong my stamina is until yesterday...

Here's the result of my really hard work:

I have to say that I really really adore myself, hahaha.

I only had a chance to explore the campus today as I have to attend the welcome event.

It's a big campus with nice environment and friendly people. I like that so much.

After coming back from the campus, I went to Asda again to get a pail and washing powder.

I never thought that I have to wash my clothes on my own.... haih...

I had fried rice for dinner.

I'm trying my best not to be picky here but the fried rice really sucks.

Anyway, I managed to meet my "neighbours" on my floor today at the kitchen.

I haven't met any Malaysian so far, they're all foreigner...

So this is a update of my life here for those who concern.

Hope that it's not too bored for you guys.

I'll try to write about some interesting stuff when I get used to this country.

Nagging before leaving.

This will be the last post I write in Malaysia this year.

Everyone says I seem like very excited to leave although I have been reiterating that I feel sad too.

Not crying doesn't mean that I'm happy and can't wait to leave ...

Having farewell with senior three classmates yesterday.

It's been a long time since we met each other.

I have been meeting those who I haven't seen for long time these days.

Sometimes life is sarcastic, I only have a chance to meet them before I leave.

Seriously, we should have met more often, not meet only once when you know you don't have the chance to meet him so often like the past...

I was wondering if I have done something wrong to deserve the punishment yesterday.

Kind of disappointed... but it doesn't matter now.

Mona left this morning. I never think that she will cry for me.

Thank you, really thank you.

You're the one who always be there for me.

I know it sounds disgusting, but you always with me, for better or worse.

I must have done some really good things to have a friend like you.

Take good care of yourself in Johore, eat well and sleep well, treat yourself better.

And my dearest Joyce who always entertain us,

thank you for being my friend for 7 years, it will last longer and longer ...

The time we freaking at the shopping centre, taking photos and eating is precious for me.

Take care of yourself too, and study hard to achieve your dream ~

Remember our future trip !

I will skip the part for Margaret as she's going with me ... hahahaha!

Well, it's really really nice meeting three of you.

Margaret, see you there next week !!! Muacks~

Here for my beloved pendek~

My senior three was awesome because of you.

What I miss the most is when you asked:"陈心怡要去厕所吗？" every period, every day.

Thank you for letting me slept on your bed although I was smelly after school.

Thank you for giving me the amazing memories...

I'm going to miss your voice. Keep in touch and good luck in your studies.

Wait for you there ~

Lastly, thank you all my friends who wish me good luck on my new journey.

All the best to me!!!

Hey, do you care?

Remember how envy I was last time when I saw my friends are studying?

My turn is coming, finally.

When you are leaving soon, you will know who's really care about you.

Some relatives don't even give you a call but you still to greet them every single time you see their ridiculous faces. How sarcastic it is.

Some friends just don't care even tough they know you are leaving.

That's fine. Some people do care about me, at least.

But human is weird.

Some care about you but you don't really care about if they care about you.

Some don't give a damn on you but you wish they could concern you more.

So am I.

I'd rather be alone if the one I wish to care about me don't.

It's no need to be concerned by everyone, just a few, who you really wish them to care.

The only question I have is:

Do you care?

I know you don't, that's the funny part.

Let's grow old together.

Hi there, these are Mona, Joyce and Margaret.

This picture was taken last Sunday, our last date in 2010.

No worries, we will have more in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 ... until we are old enough to travel around the world together, to sit down and count each others' white hairs ~

It's so sweet if we grow old together. C:

A visit to Pd and Melaka.

I was away to visit my grandparents at Port Dickson and relatives at Melaka.

My aunts and cousin all turned up yesterday to have lunch with me.

We had a really sweet talk in the room, we gossiped, and when it comes to funny stuffs,

we burst out into laughter.

It was really a good time.

Grandma always prepare something I like every time I go back.

She made me tong shui yesterday, which was really delicious.

Grandma is an amazing woman, she is one of the people I love the most in my life.

" You are going to a place that so far away from here..." she said.

" When will you come back?" she asked.

" Will you miss her?" she asked my youngest sister.

" I don't know..." she answered.

" I will miss .." she whispered.

Right after that, she walked into the bathroom, took a towel to wipe her face.

I couldn't say a word. I stood there silently, feel touched and guilty, deeply.

This is the tong shui my grandma cooked.

I will never ever forget how it tastes.

This is where I used to play in my childhood.

It's an alley that full of memories.

After visiting grandparents, I went to Melaka.

I had made myself clear that Jonker Street is a place I have to go before the trip.

I was dying to taste the durian puff again...

Dad forbidden me from buying them because of my cough but mum gave me the money to buy it so he grabbed the whole pack of durian puff from me while I was enjoying it.

After begging with a I-will-die-if-you-don't-give-me face, I managed to get another one finally.

These durian puffs are driving me crazy...

My Pd aunts gave me their scarves which grandma bought from India.

I got ang pau from grandparents and them too, which is about 750 bucks.

My mum's brother gave me a Sd card, which is 12 GB.

Surprisingly, I got another gift from my uncle's dad at Melaka.

When I unpacked the wrap paper, I was shocked, seriously.

Mont Blanc fountain pen.

Anyone knows how much it costs...?

It's nice to meet all the important people in my life again before I leave.

I will remember how well they treated me, how much of love they give to me.

It reminds me how blessed I am.

After the two day one night trip I spent at Pd and Melaka,

I know that they love me more than I can imagine, and I am wondering,

what I have done to deserve all this?

I have parents who love me and try their best to give me a comfortable life.

I have grandparents who love me and always ask me what I want to eat when I go back.

I have the world's best friends around me, who support me and love me always.

What else do I need? I have enough.

Thank you, dad and mum.

Thank you, grandpa and grandma.

Thank you, my friends.

I love all of you too.

A whole day with nice friends.

Finally I met my Nana, Seet seet and Lyly today.

We met at Nana's house and we went for the Klang famous bah kut teh,

then we went to subang to pick Lyly up.

Something went wrong with Seet seet's car's air conditional.

It was freaking hot and we actually found out that the air outside the car was cooler than the air inside.

After realising this, four of us burst out in laughter, which actually not that funny....

After that we saw a BMW with some nerdy stripes at the highway.

" WORRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!" we shouted.

" Oi, why we acted like gangster?!" asked Nana.

A moment of silence...

We started to laugh again...

After having cendol and yogurt ice at Pyramid, poor seetseet who wanted to work and poor lyly who wanted to study left early.

So Nana and I started to shop.

We shared red beans ice while we passed by a stall.

So... finally nana managed to satisfy her craving for red beans...

" Eat the ice, don't touch the red beans." nana ordered me.

Bought a sweater at MNG and socks at Sox World.

Nana bought a nice dress at Lola, and a dress at Springfield and a pair of jeans at Dorothy Perkins.

For those who wants to buy a nice jeans,

I strongly recommend that you buy from DP as the cutting is nice, comfortable and most importantly,

it only costs RM 79 !!!!

It's the promotion during Hari Raya.

Chop chop!!! It's a SUPER BARGAIN !!!!

As it was getting late, Nana and I decided to go back but we spent about half an hour,

finding the main entrance so that we could get a bus or taxi to ktm station.

There were two much-money-is-the-priority taxi drivers who didn't want to send us to KTM station

but luckily we found a Chinese driver who was kind enough.

After taxi, KTM, Nana's mum's car and my car, I reached home at 1015.

I spent my whole day with the girls, who I really like.

This will be a memorable day for me,

hope you girls can always be happy, laugh always, like we did today.

I have a dream.

I have a dream.

Growing old with my love one.

Strolling in the evening, watching the sunset.

Holding each others' hand, for better or worse.

It's my dream since I was young.

As I grow older, I know it's hard to commit as I've missed a part of my heart,

I have forgotten the feeling of love.

The deeper I fall, the deeper I hurt.

The last ten days of mine.

Ten days after by this time, I am already at the airport, waiting for my flight, kissing and hugging all my dear friends, struggling to say good-bye.

Well, it's a little over lah...haha.

I'm excited.

A totally different environment, different people, different culture, different food ...

I like new things.

My parents asked me to change my departing date so that I can go with Margaret and her sister but I said no. Not because I think that I'm smart enough to handle all the difficulties, I just need a chance to learn.

I remember last time, I used to blow my trumpet, saying that I will go to a foreign country, all by myself.

Believe or not? It actually happens now...

Sometimes life is funny.

When you are trying hard to get what you want, you get nothing.

When you are not looking forward to it any more, it happens.

I am a lucky person. What I wish for usually committed, of course, I do experienced some disappointments. But life isn't perfect, does it?

I have a chance to be a better man.

People I really want to thank to are my parents. I can only say thank you, really, really thank you.

I tell myself not to cry every day. So, don't blame me if I don't drop a tear that day. Trust me, I've been practising for months to have this skill. Don't cry leh, I will take good care of myself and time flies, we will meet each other again.

Besides, tell me anything you wanted to say, don't bottle up your feelings.

Treasure the last ten days between us!

For Nana and Seet seet, write me a blog post lar ~

For Dek dek chair, create a blog and write one for me lar ~

For others, well, you can chat with me, talk to me, call me, see me, ignore me, whatever ~

Some precious moments to tell.

I have a sudden desire to talk something about my high school times with Ms. Chair.

She and I were classmates since senior 1 but it was senior 3 when we knew each other well. The relationship between us is inexplicable, yet incredibly nice.

I remember the time when we walked back to her rented house after school every Wednesday. She used to bath for half an hour and I would lie on her bed, had a refreshing nap while waiting her to come out from the bathroom. Sometimes I grabbed her biscuits or bread, and of course, she grabbed mine too. Then we would walk along the street, chatting, sharing the juicy gossip while waiting the car.

I remember the time when I used to call her the day before exam, asked her which part to study, asked her if she had finished studying ...

I remember the time when she taught me maths and book-keeping early in the morning while she was having her breakfast.

I remember the time when we were in her cosy yet hot little bedroom, eating and chatting, stop thinking about tests and exams for a little while.

I remember the time when she asked me to go to the washroom with her almost every day, every period.

I remember the time when we laughed as if we never know what sorrow is.

I remember the feeling when I knew she cried for me after I left earlier during the graduation trip.

I remember the time when we scolded each other with all the vulgar words we know, and burst into laugher after all.

You may be wondering why do I write this.

Well, it's just a little something to say to my friend.

I wish our friendship could last for 10 years, and another 10 years, and another 10 years ... and when we're old, we will sit beneath a tree, chatting and sharing, just like the past.
