hahaha didnt expect an update huh?
I was reading through Joshua’s blog and came across a picture of a disgusting toilet bowl!
It makes me dread miri so so much!
If there’s anything about UK that I love, it will be the almost always clean toilets and the super fast internet speed (a whole album finished downloading in 2 minutes mad or not)
You know when you go to Parkson, and u feel like peeing, and then u go to the toilet. And when you’re almost there, say around the lifts, you smell it. The STENCH! Then you walk in, breathing at a minimal rate, and look for the cleanest toilet among the four. You walk in. The toilet bowl has stains from people stepping on in. toilet paper is not avalable, there is no toilet seat, there could be unflushed pee, anything could happen. You pee trying to take minimal time while holding your breath, quickly zip up when ure done and leave.
Sounds like torture, no?
The toilets here are different. Theyrarely smell of ammonia, there’s toilet paper, there are toilet seats (not that I directly sit on it. I line the seat with toilet paper!) and the thing is, the people are so considerate that they flush, and they dont make a mess! They line up before the cubicle, so the first person gets the next free toilet, instead of lining up in front of a cubicle. always sucks when someone arrived later than u getting the toilet first just because she lined up in front of a door that had a faster person behind it.
Screw miri toilets and their disgustingness… especially the kopitiam ones.
Oh, remember a few years back when Miri had a draught and there was no water everywhere?
I really really had to go when I was in Bintang, and there was no water, so the toilets couldnt be flushed. you wouldve thought there would be no one peeing right. hahaha you are damn wrong. there were damn lots of people. But thats not the point. The point was, I was desperate to pee… and after checking every cubicle, I knew I HAD to choose one. They were all filled with shit.
And I peed into a toilet bowl with shit. Ok I am gonna puke now I dont know how I even got the guts to do that. I hate hate hate it when there is even like a black stain of shit somewhere on the toilet bowl. Disgusting!
Internet! And who would NOT love the internet speed?
In addition to the fact that I have resits after the xmas holidays, I am in fact 50/50 about this trip back.
I’m so looking forward to seeing friends and family, but also dreading it because I know that I will play too much and not study!
but dont worry, I’m still going back, no matter what! It may have dirty toilets, but its still home.
Its already Sunday – the end of Half term! where did all the time vanish to?
5 more weeks and I’ll be home. Sounds too good to be true! damn. I just counted. Its 6. Oh wells…
I went to manchester and scarborough to visit people. shopped a lil too much (in fact not really, cos I only bought a shirt, and 4 pairs of shoes.) And went to london again yesterday!
Nothing much, just pictures of the beach and some mouliu things, like colourful doors by the beach and huge furry white dogs and people. Then i went to manchester! To see…
these two people!
This picture was taken in GBK – Gourmet Burger Kitchen.
Lewis was DAMN lame! He suggested to the waitress that they should call their restaurant ‘Gourmet Burger King’ or ‘Great Burger King’ or ‘Genuine Burger King’. The waitress just nodded and tried to look interested! ahaha… but I still miss Grill’d! Mighty Melbourne yo!
We shared two burgers among three people so they cut it in half for us. I preferred the beef one but Flora said she liked the lamb one more. sigh.. all these lamb people (hint:eve)
And a salad because we are healthy!
Manchester was mainly about eating I guess!! Gained weight!! Yeahhh I can totally hear that thought in your head. “riiight, like she is not fat enough”
Then London yesterday! After lunch Alice and Tracy wanted to go shopping, Oxford Street. But I was broke and I didnt feel like shopping! So I went to Rendezvous for sugarfree cappuccino Ice cream, then I went to watch happy Potter and the Half Blood Prince. yes i am THAT outdated! It was nice I guess…. I dont really ask for much when I watch movies so I cant see why youre frowning in disgust then I said it was ok.
Then I went for forzen Yoghurt! hahaha… talk about eating. Walked around and met up with Alice and Tracy again in Chinatown.
I think I have reached a stage where I am SO sick of complaints! Why do you have to complain about everything? Food too cold, food not nice, too little people, too many people, train too early, ticket too expensive, line too long, shop too crowded, other branch too far, this branch have to wait too long, like seriously EVERYTHING you do you can find a thing to complain about!! Not gonna mention any names, but yeahh!
And I woke up this morning. someone nudged me on MSN. she said “Oh thank god you’re online! Are you there?”
I thought, wow… emergency issit? Then she said,
“pictures”
=_______________________________________________________=” Give me a break willl ya?
Enough rants. sometimes I complain too much. but about relevant things, so it makes sense.
I am tired, I am exhausted!
Today has not been a good day. Cant say it has been a bad day, but it just wasnt good!
Kay, the plan was to go to oxford for the day, for visiting. So we bought couach tickets online for 8.30am.
This morning, woke up, got ready, and called the taxi by 8.05am. “alright a taxi will be on its way”
wait …. 8.10. wait…. 8.15… so we called back. “your taxi is on its way”
wait….. 8.20. wait…. 8.25. Friend asked me to call another taxi company. “alright, a taxi will be there in 5 mins”
And guess which taxi came first! the second company we called. BAD SERVICE OR NOT!!
In the end, we missed our coach, by just a few mins. So we decided to go to London instead! So we bought a group ticket, return that includes underground fares. costed 15 pounds.
Arrived London, went shopping, all was well. We had La Tasca for lunch. Waited 1 hour plus for the paella! which in the end turned out quite bland, but its ok cos we ordered 2 and they didnt charge us for 1 of em.
Had frozen yoghurt =D and walked around covent garden.
Then we walked all the way to primark. My feet were hurting badly. Anyways…. after primark, I realised, I LOST MY TRAIN TICKET. This means, no ticket to get back to northampton, and no ticket for underground! Ended up using my oyster, AND buying another ticket back. means another 15 pounds, yes even for single journey.
I also made my railcard. And I wanted to pay with my debit card. Guess what, they dont accept solos. So I had to use my credit card!
And now, I am home! I’ve got bags everywhere! the heaters arent working (but I’m fine!) I am exhausted, my laundry basket is full BUT I have no mood to do it at all cos the last time I did it, it rained and I had to dry it inside and after 2 days it was still sightly damp!
And the family is coming back tomorrow means they will have lots of laundry. sigh. I better get to sleep. wake up early tomorrow to do laundry. And make soup (hopefully)
rant rant rant. goodnight!
Pack pack pack. Packing is so frustrating isnt it.
I’m halfway there!!
I’m going “panties, check! tanks, check! cardis, check! jeans, check! what else have I not packeddd??”
Jenny’s leaving on the 20th and according to her, she’s all packed! besides her underwear and her pillow (smelly one) and her face wash. Why is it that easy for her? Memang prepare early!
Anyway, I’m so in the mood to blog right now. I just e-mailed Mr. O’Hare to ask about my accomodation. I got what I wanted. Thats why u see this big =D smile!
I made yam puffs today!! I had NO idea that cutting yam makes ur hands itchy! Suffered quite a lot after that. And the process is hard! I totally appriciate Yam Puffs more now. LOL!
And mum made black bean soup today! My love. But she didnt put enough beans and there were so little beans! D=
So many people are going to UK this year!! And they are all starating Uni! D=
I know, I’m 19 and still doing A levels. As much asI say I dont mind, I really do mind actually. Daryll’s already halfway through, and I’m not even in Uni yet. Thats why its crucial that I sort out my subjects this instant. MRS CARTER REPLY MY EMAIL!!!
Ok. I must go think of what to pack!
As you all know, we just had our mocks last week.
I know, I should be feeling good and relieved, nice and happy.
Today was disappointing, actually yesterday was already disappointing.
We got our Bio papers back today. I got C’s for both, 58% for one, and 54% for the other. OH MY GOSH I know right… To look on the bright side, most of the class failed, and only ONE person got an A, and that was like 70%.
I know, its so depressing to get such results. I’m feeling guilty about easter holidays now as i didnt get good results, but whats done is done.
Its only the mocks, I shall work harder, and what doesnt kill you only makes you stronger! Right or not’??
On the other hand, I got 91% for statistics!! Yalah its statistics only, but I looked around, and the two girls next to me got Cs!! So i guess the 91% is good enough!
Almost As for economics as well!! Tough luck, thats the way life sucks huh. 74% for microeconomics (which I am pretty please with, seeing only ONE person in the whole AS level got an A, and I’m only one mark away!!) and 66% for macro, which I think is a miscalculation, yes I’ll go look for my teacher tomorrow.Plus I think macro is damn hard can… stupid policies and recessions!
An A and a B for psychology, not really satisfied, but having 3 subjects on ONE day, biology, economics and psychology, not being able to even touch psychology because of bio and economics, and sitting for the paper depending purely on memory, I would say, not bad huh… perasan.
I’ll work harder I promise!
Dont miss me too much!
Dont you guys think I’m slowly fading away from Lee Hom? CANNOT! I must be obsessed again!
Watch this watch this. Must kay. Its filled with my love and the only way to get all the love is to watch it.
kay whatever…. I’m sitting alone in my room. Feeling as lonely as ever, because I have nothing to do, I have nothing to think about (or rather, I do have some homework but I’m not in a ‘homework’ mood now), and the heater feels like it has a grudge against me. But no! its turned on, and its burning. Sigh, maybe its just me.
We went for dimsum today, nothing much. The table literally sat in silence, the awkwardness… the porridge was nice tho. Then we went to the market to get some fruits, then to body care to get things, and took a taxi back cos it was freezing cold. When we got back it was about 3.30 so we said we’ll go change for badminton. But one got lazy and another two got lazy, and in the end, we ended up sleeping like pigs. I cant believe for once I was online in the afternoon and NO ONE WAS ONLINE!!
Anyway… food from CNY eve. I swear Shin Roey’s cooking is like restaurant cooking. Just LOOK AT IT!!! ZOMG.
Fried Squid with salt and pepper I think.
Crab and prawn salad
steamed cod fish
Sour and spicy soup… damn nice… sorry mom, but its defo better than yours. haha…
Soy sauce chicken
Sambal prawns
brocolli and mushroom
fried glass noodles best thing on earth
sambal squid.
Besides dinner, we just shopped around leanne’s apartment in london. Found this place that sells sugar free frozen yoghurt, just like ice cream, but without sweeteners, and has fresh fruit instead. I swear it is like THE BEST THING EVER MADE. On the first day after a salad me and eve were already quite full, so I ordered a single, which was obviously not enough!!!
The next day I went back to get a double. DAMN DAMN NICE…. okay I’m thinking of it now.
Sorry bout the lack of pictures, but hey, at least there’s pictures of food!! I’m not in picture moods recently… I feel fat and ugly. serious.
sigh, I am going to weep in a corner.
Oh, oh!! Happy birthday bro!! heres to wishing you bully me less and get married soon!
Do you ever feel unappreciated?
I do.
I feel like sometimes I do things, and people just dont appreciate.
But enough of the depressing stuff…
Manchester was GREAT GREAT GREAT!!
Despite the cold and strong winds (that destroyed my umbrella LOL) the shopping is awesome! the city feels good, the english is wierd, but its MANCHESTER!
me and eve spent quite a few hours at trafford centre, but only managed to finish not even half the mall.Impulsive buys, and unnecessary trying of clothes, I saw this SUPER AWESOME dress in Mango and tried it on. Looked good as well, but the price was 100 pounds. Not really worth it.
Food wise, I must say, the dim sum is good! 2 consecutive days of din sum is definitely fattening. And I know I definitely gained weight over the weekend.But I hate it when I come back, and my friends keep saying”ni fei le”. Its ok if they say it once or twice, as I notice it as well, but they keep saying it that it becomes like a friggin chant.
Its not like I WANT to get fat right, and its not like I dont get it when you say it once, so there is no necessity to say it so many times.
And when I get hungry at night, they ask me to not eat. Which of course, I dont care.
but wth, I’m sick of hearing that.
Pictures arent loaded yet. Didnt take much anyway.
But nonetheless, thank you Lewis and Flora for being such good hosts, being so hospitable, and such good company, and being helpful. Manchester is definitely on the list for a second time. I havent even explored the city centre yet!!
ok damn tired. ISA (bio practical tomomrrow)
see you guys at home in 3 weeks! I cant waittttttttttttttttt!! <3 <3
I know, I shouldnt be here right now, as bad results should only make me work harder.
But I have the attention span of a fly, and this house, Victoria house DOES NOT make it better.
Mr Murfit just gave us our Microeconomics paper back. I was expecting an A as I got 97% for the previous one (not being a show off but wtf I dont care if you think I am one cos I’m not in the mood to argue anyway) and how much worse could I go right?
I got 70%!! The first word I said that came out as naturally as ever was “shit”. My whole heart felt like it just free falled 100 metres and I was not happy. Two other people got better than me, I presume an A, and the others got Cs and Ds and even Es, but I cant accept the fact that I got 70%!
Which is why I need to throw out all my frustration and anger on this blog. Its the only thing that doesnt say “70 is very good already” back, and its where I always come when I’m depressed. Turns out a blog can be a good friend after all.
I still have 3 more papers tomorrow, and 1 on Friday then I’m off to Manchester, which I am a bit guilty of because I feel like I’m being rewarded for not doing good in my tests, AND also having the opportunity to go back home (but I am NOT going to give that up no thank you I miss my dogs lots and lots I wanna kiss them till I die when I get back ok I’ll stop with my random gibberish). And yeah, they are only internal tests, and yeah I shouldnt be getting that good marks since I dont even put in effort and I just slack (sorry mom and dad ahahha) but I am going to try to study later.
But whatever… I’m feeling much better now.. I shall shower and start staring at my pointless psychology book.
Maths tomorrow. I have a feeling its NOT gonna be good. Why do I get a math teacher that sets questions that are so hard? Pray for me, wish me good luck!
p/s I NEED MSN. 2. more. days.
8.47pm
BAD BAD DAY
I am sitting in my room now pissed because I lost my psychology notes, Damnit damnit damnit…. Damn unpunched notes.
I asked Angela to return the bulb to yuki (super damn kiamsiap, but we’ll leave that to another day) that we were supposed to ‘share’ cos she bought a double pack. If she gives me back my money, then I will take it. If she doesn’t, then I wont do anything . Anyway, it’s the first and last time I’m gonna share anything with her anyway.
The thing is, we both bought the same lamp, from Woolworth’s because it was cheap, 2.98 pounds (and my desk is against the light, so its really dark. And she took a double pack bulb, so she asked me whether I wanted to share or not. I said sui bian, as usual.
I also admit I was quite stupid for just saying sui bian like that.
The bulbs were CLEAR 60 watt bulbs. That could light up a whole room!! And you know what? Its says ‘MAX 40W’ on the light. Kill me please.
Because I got blinded by the light after looking at the shone upon paper for something that seemed like 5 seconds, I tore a piece of paper and put it around the light, to make it dimmer (and apparently I wasn’t allowed because it will start a fire and the fire alarm is loud and blah blah blah LOL)
After dinner, I wanted to do my laudry and wash my towel since I am gonna run out of panties (haha too much info) so I went to get tokens. There were only 3 tokens left, and some of the tokens don’t work, so the warden said I could try. So we went down, I opened the washing machine wanting to load my stinky clothes (haha nola, I don’t even sweat one bit here how to smell?) in and apparently some other brainless girl (sorry if you’re reading this but what are the possibilities of that) put a box of cigarettes in to wash together with her clothes, and there were cigarette packs bits and some cigarette bits, and also he brown bits u get in cigarettes all over the washing machine.
And why the hell would I risk having clothes that would come out covered in paper bits instead of being clean? Told u my day was bad.
Econs is like SHIT. Input, output, GDP, this and that??
I’m sorry mr Simpson but your explanations are just too……… X_X
And to make things worse, the room where econs class is held in smells like SHIT literally. It stinks like hell, and its not the kind of smell that u get used to after a few seconds and the air smells as fresh as ever (like my room. The soiness). IT STAYS THERE… and kills you slowly.
And I’m loaded with homework. AND I CANT FIND MY PSYCHOLOGY NOTES!! All my hard work!
And u know I have to carry my books all the way to eat, then to school and sometimes to Queens building and back to Nazareth house again, its really a hassle if I don’t have a school bag so please send/bring my schoolbags fast. I don’t want to risk losing more notes. OMG…. My psychology notesssssssss!!! And also stapler refills, the small type.
And mom!! I bought you a citrus peeler!! More like for myself because u cant find it in Miri… shall I send it back? Or wait till dec? This whole shop was kitchen utensil filled!! Super suang. But I didn’t really look around. I saw lots of olive oil bottles tho!!
Oh, and send/bring food wrapper clips as well, just a few lah.
