The titles of my posts are getting pathetic-er by the posts, dontcha think?
I have a practice biology ISA test tomorrow, but dont we all start to blog when that test or exam is coming up?
I’ve read through my notes, so fingers crossed it’ll go well!!
Its almost half term! Plan is to go to Scarborough to visit Helen for a day or two, then down to Manchester, to see Flora and Lewis, and then come back to Northampton for a few days, and finally got to Bristol to visit jenno.
Hopefully my workload will not be that heavy!!
I still got UCAS applications!! i cant make up my mind where I should apply for the remaining two unis!! Dont ask me to apply for LSE because I dont even feel like going there so why waste a choice? I dont have confidence in myself. I’ve always believed that I was born with average IQ. Never dared to dream so far. I’m applying for Warwick already so shut up! What if I dont get the required grades? What if they dont accept me? What if I am not good enough? It always sounds easy doesnt it. Its also easy to say, isnt it? “study hard yeah, its a once in a lifetime chance and you’ll regret it if you dont do well. Only 3 months ma, time will pass fast! Its not like that. Its not fast when you’re here, its not easy when its YOU who’s studying, if only life was as simple. Sighh…
last saturday on the way to badminton, they were setting off a hot air balloon! I remember een saying she wanted to go on a hot air balloon! You guys should all come here to northampton and we shall go up up up!
Anyways, picturessss!! Havent posted pictures in agess! Not many tho. I’m not really a picture person!
not in order,
Wellies and waterproof jackets. Biology field trip
Quadrats and rulers!
Stan boy!! Sorry Lester, Stan is not my boyfriend! hahaha
EEN!!! hot air balloon!
In front of Naz, while waiting for Angie
Part of my room (before it became messy)
backyard!! Trampolineee!
Sigh, I better go to sleep now! Its freezing!
I am supposed to be doing my homework now, finishing off those few questions that need handing in tomorrow. I am drop dead tired, I bet its the jetlag kicking in. I felt so tired in class, to even keep my eyes open was a struggle!
I am so stressed out! I havent dont my personal statement! I havent started researching about anything, I have NO idea what accounting is about, my room is in a mess with books everywhere, my eyes hurt awfully, Helen has left for Hull, and I am all messed up! I know. What a way to start huh!
Settled into the host family already, they are a really nice family, being really friendly and hospitable, doing all their best to make me feel at home. Mrs Parker lets me use her dishes, her shampoos, her washing machine, her microwave, her everything!
I come home every afternoon to open the back door so that Stan, their huge black dog can go out for a little walk in the backyard! Both mr and mrs parker are teachers so they and the two kids will be out of the house for the whole day, which means I have a lil privacy during lunch, which is a good thing I guess.
Its right opposite the school which means coming home is but a 1 minute walk across the street, which is kinda nice.
I fear of gaining weight. Only here for 2 days and I can so totally feel the weight in me. No, I havent been eating much!! Like usually for lunch, I have a sandwich, soup, and a salad, and fruits. Yeah talk about that appetite. But after I came, I had a soup and half a sandwich.
I guess its just the beginning. I dont know why my appetite is so good when I am here. Sadness..
ok.. my eyes are really tired. I better start with that homework. My desk is a mess.. Never knew life was so hard.
I’ll try to take some pictures and post them when I have time, when I am not jetlagged anymore!
Edit: I just realised I didnt post this!! I went basic necessity shopping today!! I totally regret buying paper and notebooks in WH Smith. It was a total rip off!! Reminder to self, never buy from WH Smith again! instead, go to Sainsbury’s!!! OK I am starting to sound like an auntie! off to copy my econs notes now!
I guess when boredom kicks in, you’ll have nothing to do but blog huh.
In fact, I have lots to do. Eve’s house is in a mess cos of the boxes and my suitcases lying around the living room, the kitchen is sorta in a mess cos of my attempt to make bagua last night (though I dont know if it is a success or not cos I cannot eat and eve is on a detox so she wont eat it! but by the looks and smells of it, they should be good, or at least edible!) the dining table has all these letters and catalogues and stuff, I’m still trying to finish the food before we have to leave, etc.
Its been ages since I’ve posted a picture or two on my blog huh. It always amazes me how people can post tons of picture in a post, take xiaxue for example! she has tons of pictures in a post! I’ve tried once or twice, but when I felt like I already uploaded a lot of pictures, I look back and its only a mere 7 or 8 pictures. lol
One day aaron asked me how to use xanga. He said he remembered I used to have a xanga account. LOL. that was aaaages back! I went back to read it and realised how my writing has changed. well, cant blame me, I was only 15 then. I bet when I come back to read what I am writing now in 3 or 4 years, I would chuckle and say the same thing to myself, “so childish *rolls eyes*”
How was Holland? Holland was AWESOME! It definitely brought back memories we had there, memories we made there, and no doubt created more memories. We took a minicruise to Rotterdam, and from Rotterdam took a coach to Amsterdam, where we spent a day walking around, and in the evening, took a train down to Voorschoten to look for Uncle NK.
Amsterdam is a place best explored with a bicycle imo. Bicycles >humans/pedestrians > cars. There are Bicycle paths everywhere!! We didnt tho. We just started walking and walking and walking till we reached Chinatown and saw this restaurant and walked in to ask for dimsum. It tasted like shit. Then after dinner, we walked around and saw so many other nice big chinese restaurants. LOL…
somewhere there
So by evening, when my legs are gonna break, we took a train all the way down to Voorschoten, Uncle Nai Kwong’s little town. He brought us from the train station to his home. Nice and cosy house. It was neat, and nicely decorated, and definitely cosy. Auntie was preparing dinner, so we went to shower and stuff, and came down for dinner. A proper home cooked meal in ages (few months lah, but still ages to me) !! An after dinner walk around the neighbourhood, saw wierd looking houses, nice apartments, Uncle Michael and Auntie Lee Lee’s place, fields of Lavender, canals, and all the nice things you could get. Went to sleep all ready for the next day, which was nothing much.
Auntie Khau Tze took us around, back to Leidschendam to see our old house!
Anyone remember the hospital near our old house?
I bet mum remembers it!
We went to the market thingy.. I dont know how to spell it but its something like Hobbema, and we had fish! the type that we used to eat as a child! walked around looking at things, they had EVERYTHING there. Clothes, food, fruits, vegetables, nuts (and who could forget nuts in Holland. I couldnt find the one that we always went to, so didnt buy much fresh nuts. only the packed ones), antiques, bags, fish, meat, you name it they got it!
After that we went to Leidschenhaag to walk around.
In front of Hema and V&D
Bought some things, walked around, and headed back home.
Bah, this is getting boring.
Lets see if I have any interesting pictures.
Trains here have two floors. Good idea for more seats huh!
everybody meet coco
Bart and Bobby. LOL do I need to tell you which is which?
lost your bicycle somewhere in there?
Yeap, theyre all bicycles!!
Bah, bored already. C ya guys sooooon!
I wander why everytime I feel like blogging, I log in and I have no idea what to blog about. My Life isnt as happening as it seems… while other teenagers enjoy going out clubbing and dancing, and karaoke-ing, I on the other hand enjoy baking, shopping (bet everyone likes doing this), cleaning (for goodness sake! I spent last night vacuuming this small house and ended up in sweat! I swear its friggin hot today it was like 28 degrees!), and having alone time. BAH. I am getting old!!
Today Eve n I were in town and we actually found this candy store that sold any type of candy you could think of. And the best part was………… yep! you guessed it, they had sugar free ones! A whole (little) part of the shop was for sugar free stuff! so picked a few candies after having dimsum (yum!) for lunch! Went to change money for Amsterdam/Holland.
When we got home, eve started going through her bag. Then she said “shit, where’s my phone?”
I looked at her for a minute, then said “want me to call it?” “yeah”
so i called… it went through, but it wasnt ringing! SO! we thought it was on the bus! and started to panic and all getting bus times and where it should be now and stuff… then when we were about to leave the house to chase after the bus, Eve looked down and there it was, on the kitchen counter.
Pff… what a day huh!
bah cant be bothered to update.
Jenny says my blog is dead.
Well I guess so, looking at the amount of effort I put into updating it. Lets see, thats none.
Just came back from a game of rounders. It was FUN FUN FUN (although we were in the sun, but everybody loves the sun here!) We won by 1 or 2 points, and the other team was obviously not happy. But oh well, its just a game.
We had universities come to visit us today. promoting their univesities. The representative of Queen Mary’s University also gave a speech. I didnt mind the speech. But I seriously cant stand those people who talk when others are talking. I mean, imagine yourself in his shoes. How would you feel if you was giving a speech, and some group of girls were chattering on about their own life, how their boyfriends love them and would get the moon for them (ok I totally made that up, but they were talking!)
It is damn rude okay! And if people talking is not bad enough, what about those, who say “haiya, fan shi le (damn annoying)” every 0.5 second or so.
The poor guy was literally rushing to get his speech done that he didnt even have time to promote his university much.
Anyway, enough of lowly people who dont appreciate little things in life.
Thorpe Park yesterday was so so. Part of the reason why was cos we’ve been there before so there wasnt really a big hype about it. But we did manage to go on some rides that werent open/had a queue that was too long the previous time we went.
We spent 80 mins queueing up for a new ride, called Saw. Yes, from the disgusting movie Saw. And when we got off the ride (which took like 30 seconds woohoo =.=”) we saw Albee, Alex, and two other girls preparing to go on the next round. They bought express tickets which costed 4 pounds and only waited for what. 1 minute? Silly much
Anyway, I went with one of the girls.(sigh, everytime I bitch I seem to come here… I hope no one from Bosworth reads my blog! Sorry but I’m PMSing) Which was a good thing and a bad thing I guesss…
She was scared of this scared of that. Didnt wanna sit outside, didnt wanna sit alone, didnt wanna sit in front, want to eat there, doesnt want to play this, scared of this scared of that.
Which got kinda annoying after a while, cos if youre scared of this and that then whats the point of going there in the first place? You might as well have fun on the swings in the park.
So yeahhh…
Anyway, gotta go for dinner now. Continue on later!
To the mum that couldnt get any better, to the person who raised me to become who I am today, to the beautiful mother in my life, mummy, I love you and miss you so much. Happy Mother’s Day!
She used to be my only enemy and never let me be free
Catching me in places that I knew I should’nt be
Every other day I crossed the line I didn’t mean to be so bad
I never thought you would become the friend I never had
Back then I didn’t know why
Why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes
All that you did was love
Mama I love you.Mama I care
Mama I love you . Mama my friend. You’re my friend
I didn’t want to hear it then but I’m not ashamed to say it now
Every little thing you said and did was right for me
I had a lot of to think about,about the way I usedto be
Never had a sense of my responsibility
Back then I didn’t know why
Why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes, all that you did was love
Mama, I love you. Mama, I care
Mama, I love you. Mama ,my friend. You’re my friend
But now I’m sure I know why,
Why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes
All I can give you is love is love
Mama I love you. Mama, I care
Mama, I love you. Mama, my friend,You’re my friend
Mama, I love you, Mama ,I care
Mama, I love you, Mama, my friend, You’re my friend
I guess this is much expected. I wanted to update since ages ago but I cant get internet connection in my room anymore. means no more 24/7 online and I can’t access kays.com on the school computer so boo hoo I cant buy my clothes and mom, I can;t get your shrug. But I’ll find a way, cos I am THE VERON.
So, its been three days. Homesickness isnt as bad this time I must say, compared to the previous times. Tears at times, but the only serious time |I cried was on monday. Yalah yalah I know, I’m going back in 2 and a half months, cry what. Its just the feeling that so painful. The ache in the heart. Thank you people who sent me texts before I left!! Made me tear up to know that so many people care. Daddy and mummy I miss you guys.
Gosh, I sound like I’m dying!! haha… The weather is great! Flowers are blooming, I’m sure mum would love to see the tulips. They are absolutely beautiful, big and red!! And the front patch of grass in our hostel that looked like rubbish during winter is all green with different coloured flowers now. It looks like someone just mixed up seeds of different flowers and scattered it randomly over, and taadaa!! You get this!! The weather is so good that I wore shorts, a tank top and a cardigan today!
After dinner we went to play on the racecourse, childhood all over again. guess what we played!! Ice and water!! ahahahah I know, childish much. OMG, this makes me miss high school SO SO much. Asai, treasure hunt, hide and seek, REMEMBER guys?? Li ke was right, sigh, maybe I should get into tribal wars. hahaha… I said MAYBE only =P
I got my first late today. Officially broke my record of being perfect. for two terms I didnt have blue forms (didnt do hw), green forms (bad things in general) and lates. But today, they were SO strict, and we got a late. We were only 2 mins late anyway, and by the way they were done writing all the stuff, we were almost 10 mins late. Oh well…. there’s always a first for everything!
Okayyy… I’ll find a way to get internet cos I am suffering from IWS. I really really wanted to update when I just got back, but I couldnt access internet in my room, so I didnt. But here I am now!!
I’ll take pictures of flowers for you mum!! I miss you guys sooo much!
Update!
I can online in my room. MUAHAHHAA… see, told you i’m THE veron!
I bet you guys are screaming “Time for an update!!” huh! * moment of perasan* hahah okay whatever.
I am so so so so so much relieved now. I just had three papers, three different subject in ONE day! ok how unfair is that right… by the time I had to sit for my last paper, I was already half asleep, my brain could not function properly and I just wasnt in the mood to write. But everrything’s over now so wth, why bother.
And now, I only have statistics left. woopeedoo…
okay, half term was not bad actually! I went down to eve’s place and had a salmon overdose. saturday sunday monday I had salmon, tuesday we went for steamboat and I ate like humungous amounts of fish (hey its not everyday u get fish here kay!) wednesday we went to london for japanese buffet, and guess what we kept ordering. Right! SALMON SASHIMI! Thursday eve steamed codfish, and Yvonne baked Salmon, and on Friday, we had CHICKEN!! hahha a rest from all the fish.
Wednesday in London was awesome as well! We went for dimsum, and frozen yoghurt, and coffee at Paul’s and Japanese dinner. And while waiting for eve in David and Goliath (damn cute store that sells tee and tanks with phrases like “you rock” “you rule” that came from a ruler and a rock. Geddit??? ) I was outside watching this streeet performer doing some stunts. Anyway, the weather is getting better! no more darkness at 5, rain rain rain, and cold strong winds!
I know, sounds so good. But mum and dad, I’m ready to go home. I HATE IT HERE, because no matter what I eat, no matter how little I eat, no matter how miuch I control myself, I still friggin gain weight!! This is so unfair ok, I get all the crappy genes with slow matabolism and my friend there gets the super fast metabolism (she’s 30+ kgs, she eats chocolates and junk food everyday and she doesnt gain a friggin GRAM)
When I went to Notts, all I ate was fish, oats, boiled vegetables, salad and fruits and chicken, and fried vegetables as well (other than the wednesday lah) but most of the things werent even fattening and I friggin gain. I come back here, eat half the amount i used to eat, I GAIN. WTF IS WRONG WITH MY METABOLISM HELLOOOOOOOO??? damn pissed can! Sometimes I just hate my body that much. I’d rather be short and skinny. Screw models who are tall!
Didnt take much pictures cos I’m not in picture moods. oh, and some of them are still with eve.
I dyed my hair purple! But it turned out red. Oh wellll…. tata guys.
31 more days till easter hols! cant wait!
I’m counting down my days.
18 days left. Sigh, I wish it were 15 (if I went back on the 12th) days, but oh well, to look on the brihgt side, I get to go to Notts to see eve and flora.
I love eve’s room!! ok I said it. Its cosy and big, well decorated, and feels like home cause everything is placed out, perfumes, necklaces, etc.
I ahve my jewelry all in the jewelry box that I cant be bothered to take out of the cupboard every morning just because I’m too lazy.
Oh well…
18 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Manchester!
Lots of shopping, as usual.
haha photobucket not working. Too bad, you guys’ll just have to wait!
To my shopping buddy, to my chili’s buddy, to my buffalo wings lover, to the girl with the cutest sister ever, to the best baking companion anyone could ever find,
HAPPY 18th TANTAN!!!!!
You’re legal! I cant wait to go for more shopping afternoons with you! Have fun being 18!
Lots and lots of love, Veron xoxo
And other November babies, Li ke, Lee Na, een, errrr….. adakah saya lupa orang?
