Back to cooking!!!

it's been awhile since i've posted something.. my school internet is to be blamed for it!!! =)

it's been such a stressful week!! i mean it was exeat at first then Sharon & I left for Netherlands (whoever didn't know this... YEAH we went to Netherlands).. so we practically missed a whole week of school.. when we came back i was sooo not in the mood to study.. i mean NETHERLANDS man!! i need time to settle down again.. but after that.. who knew i had exams day after day....

anyways.. we decided to cook fried rice mid tests period.. well for me, it was more of a de-stressing period.. in brunei it used to be baking but i guess i have to compromise here.. it was the first time cooking at Bateman House!!! they practically have nearly everything.. except the most essential 0.O... "PEPPER!!!!!!".. well I mainly did the cooking and they did the wash-up.. washing up is such a bore... so yeap!!!

LOVE COOKING!!!!

My exam started and also ended three weeks ago. We then celebrate Gina's birthday in Red chilli (a chinese restaurant). I love their seafood soup there. At first, i was kinda pissed because the waitress didn't understand what i wanted to order. Then they even served the wrong dish but in the end the manager came out and asked again so in the end we could eat peacefully. Overall, the service wasn't that bad. When the bill came, they didn't charge for the service. Damn tan tio(not paying for what we were supposed to pay).

In the past three weeks, many things have happened. Sprained my ankle, argued with someone, then led my break down, changed bedroom.... Talking about changing bedroom, we were asked to change because our original room is undergoing a makeover. New colour for the walls, new lamps, new carpet... I can't wait!!! I like the new room though. it's really damn cosy. Half term is coming soon! Going down to London again and going to celebrate my first chinese new year in UK; first chinese new year eve without my family. T.T... shall end abruptly here..

ps: LOTS OF PREP(HOMEWORK) TO DO!!! STRESS!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR..

I know i'm late...

So, here comes 2010....

First and foremost...

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!

Looking back, 2009 passed by rather fast than i could imagine. It's a year full of slacking i swear. Getting into college, waiting for O level results, chinese new year spent with lots of awesome people, lots of parties, going in and out from moe, waiting for their calls, waiting for an answer, FULLLLLL OF WAITING, going overseas with friends for the first time, spending huge amount of money, going abroad to study, meeting lots of new people, see another part of world with my own eyes, learning new things, learning how to be independent, learning how to adapt, learning how to give and take, learning how to....... lots more. It's never ending...

So i've been thinking whether to have a list of new year resolutions or not... I clearly know that i can't fulfill it or make it happen. Well, there will be less disappointment when there is less expectation isn't it? HOWEVER... I'm still going to list down things to do/things to be done/wishlists for this year.

1) Save money $$$$( to fulfill point no 3)

2) freaking get a driving license

3) get latest iphone

4) ace every tests/exams

5) Stronger relationship

6) Stronger friendships

7) Everyone in my family to be happy and healthy

8) Have a better temper

9) Be slim and pretty

10) Lose weights on the thighs and tummy and face areas; around 5 kg. ( to fulfill point number 9)

11) To get a nice bag

12) Meet XXXXXXXXXXXX

13) Nice flawless skin (k, highly impossible)

14) Grow taller, jump jump jump!!!

15) Become more mature inside NOT outside (apparently, i don't look my age, I look 22) what do you think?

16) Go overseas with friends again.

17) leave this

18) leave this

19)leave this

20) leave this

Leave 17, 18, 19 and 20 in case i have something to add on....

2010 will be better than 2009.

Merry Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I didn't do much today. Most of the shops are closed. I'm waiting for tomorrow when the mega crazy sales is going on. Yeaps, BOXING DAY.

I will declare bankrupt after tomorrow. I think I'm going out at 12 am when LV shop is open. I don't think they have any sales though and i wonder why they open the shop at such timing. 12 am some more.

I'm going to selfridge, topshop, next, h&m.... basically all the shops along oxford street and bond street. hah.. MAN, I'm seriously gonna be broke. T.T Burning a BIG HOLE in my pocket. T.T

I'm going to save up next year. I WILL I WILL.

I have been wasting my holidays doing nothing productive beside the camp. I haven't started revising my JANUARY module. ALL of them. I think I'm going to continue wasting my holidays sleeping and going out for walks. I just can't concentrate and you can say I'm hiding away from the fact that exam is 2 weeks away.

Right, I'll start after boxing day. Hopefully.

3rd day without you..

You're now in Taiwan.

I haven't got your call.

You haven't reply any of my messages either.

Hope you're enjoying yourself and please take care of yourself.

I know you're afraid of the cold so please wear more clothes.

I'm worried and waiting at the same time.

Please come back alive.

This is your promise.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm feeling really x12392394609642079269 cold now. It's snowing outside and if I'm not mistaken, the temperature is -5 degree celsius. OMG OMG jumping up and down, swinging my hands, shaking my head, placing my face to the heater(which is not working) to make me feel warm. Psychologically, putting my face near the heater will make me feel warm. Ok, this is when someone who is feeling too cold that whatever they say is not making any sense.

I swear my feet are freezing. Oh, hi newcastle. At least this is better than the boarder of Scotland which i went for the last 3 days for Christmas retreat and it's snowing everyday. We had snowball fight/war. HAHAAH... Good times. Walking on the snow, looking back all the new footprints made by you, seeing so many white for the first time, forgetting about the cold, forgetting about the past, forgetting about anything that's troubling you. Suddenly, you just feel the burden on you shoulder being taken away and carried away and you're free, so free. You feel a sense of peace; emptying your mind and allowing the still air and the beauty of snow and the silence replace the noise of our busy daily lives, the worries, anxiety, the workload, pressures and everything.

It's so amazing how snow is form from droplets of water and fall freely from the sky so gently, softly and slowly. This reminds me of the wonders of God. His creation so beautifully made, our lives He carefully planned, His promises to us. What more can we ask for? What more can we, someone who don't deserve the gift from Him ask for?

`You are beautiful beyond description,

Too marvelous for words,

Too wonderful for comprehension,

Like nothing ever seen or heard,

Who can grasp your infinite wisdom,

Who can fathom the depths of your love?

My world is your world

I was in gina's studies and this is the wall in her studies. The poster belongs to Debbie. It was last week of term and no one has any mood for anything else. I'm not a BIG FAN of Taylor Lautner but i have to admit that his body is HOT. I went 'gaga' over his body when i was watching new moon. The picture is for the sake of posing la.

One day plus to London and four days plus to Newcastle and then... EXAM!

Exam really spoils the whole holiday mood. I really don't like the fact that when you just return to school, the next thing you know is exam.

Mock exam is over. We have mock exam in the last week of term. WTH right? Again, spoiled the mood of looking forward to holidays. On the brighter note, we don't have prep time and we can do whatever we want and of course what do we do? PACK!

Guess wad? I don't know why is it because our school is damn poor or damn liu bin( money face) that they are opening the college house( where we stay) for people to stay during the holidays. In other words, it's lets. URGHH. IT'S DAMN ANNOYING. We have already settle down and put our stuffs in places and now we have to remove everything. YES, EVERYTHING. This includes the poster you put on your wall.

We asked for meal leave yesterday to catch paranormal activity. OH PLEASE, if that's scary. Let me show you some other asian films. I thought it's really scary and i was so anticipated for it and in the end, i nearly fell asleep for the first 3/4 of the movie. I was so looking forward for some horrors. It's really disappointing. I seek for extreme thrills, horrors and whatever you name it. I am planning to go to London's tomb. GOOGLE IT. Apparently, it's the most scariest place in London. They even won the award of being the scariest tourist attraction or something and it's near London bridge or directly below London bridge.

K la, im still looking forward to holiday minus assignments, essays, revision etc.

This partner beside me is a big fan of Taylor Lautner/ Jacob/ muscular man slash this slash that.

Love my life now. =) Really love everyone around me now.

So, im the one blogging now, how sad.

I hurt my arm while playing badminton. Thank God i have with me this chinese medication, i'm feeling better although i still feel kind weird. You know when you twisted your hand or dislocate any of the joints ow whatever you get this pain. So ya, that's it.

Uhmm.. We went to sheffield today and did some christmas shopping. I did not buy much. I just can't wait for holidays to come!!!! Before that, i have to go through mock exams and a lot of stuffs which i seriously can't be bothered to do anything about it. But still, we have to go through all these. Up coming events that i'm looking forward to are ice skating and meal out this tuesday, boarders christmas party, secret santa(exchanging presents), pantomime(i have to do make up), red day etc.

I think i should start writing a wish list. So, anyone of you planning to get me a something for christmas can have an idea what to buy. MUAHAHHAHAHAHA...

Half term

Half term ended a week ago. I spent most of my money on food. I can't resist good food thats worth the price and so i gave in. We ate in restaurant basically everyday and each meal cost about (+/-) 7 pounds which is Bnd 17 dollars. It's the money that i can really eat a lot in Excapade! Well.. It's the normal price in Uk.

On the 23rd, the last day of school, we caught quarter t0 5 train from York to London. It took us 2.5 hours to reach London. This is the first time i sat on a train in Uk and it didn't give me a good memory. When we board the train, there were like so many people inside and people could just sit on your seats and you don't know about it. This happened to me. Being a stupid first timer, i was really confused because the aisle was full of people and having a medium luggage with me didn't help AT ALL. I was basically stuck in the middle of nowhere, no place to sit and people were looking at you, couldn't move forward or reverse. Luckily, there were people who are nice enough to help you out and finally we found our seats after about 30 minutes passing by rows of seats dragging the not-so-heavy-not-so-light luggage and the distance is less than 20 meter.

In train

Reached London safely. Next day, we went to thorpe park *yayness*. I couldn't wait for this day and I was really looking forward to it cos i was planning to go for all the rides. I was really excited. It cost me 24 pounds. It's consider cheap. It's worth the pounds.

Queuing

Behind me is stealth(most thrilling ride BUT I didn't get to sit on it cos it was under maintenance;@#$!*#)

Hui Yi, Herng and me

SAW- new ride(it's really not scary at all)

Quite like this. It's nemesis inferno.

Other than that, I like rush, vortex and samurai. Omg, spells fun.

Posing while waiting for the others.

Next, we went to tidal wave. The water is like so damn cold; freezing cold!!!

All wet

After changing and drying up in the toilet, Herng and I took pictures.

We had the time to take picture cos we went for the tidal wave for once while the others went twice.

That's basically the day. We went Nandos to eat after returning to paddington from thorpe park.

Celebrated Mayang's birthday as well.

Happy 17th birthday.

These are shopping time. I didn't take lots of pictures cos it's either i was too tired or i couldn't be bother to do anything or I was busy shopping.

Where are you?

When the leaves are falling.

Where are you?

When the sky is turning grey.

Where are you?

When no one is there for me.

So just tell me,

Where are you?

Sip of death

Sup, people.. I'm back... *waves like mad woman*

I have been neglecting this blog for quite sometime..

No worries.. I'm back to keep you update even though facebook most probably updated you guys already.

And as you know, I'm officially 18. I know I'm legal now. When I'm legal, the first thing i want to do the most is get a license and vroom vroom... drive!! Oh well, so i couldn't learn driving now. I'm so gonna learn it when i go back to Brunei.

What's the feeling of being 18? Hmm.. nothing much i would say. It's just like any other day. Maybe i didn't get to celebrate it with my friends and also i'm away from where i used to be so i don't really feel anything... Just a year older and the earth is still revolving, time still keep going, sun still rises in the east... Everything just have to move on; it doesn't stop there. No, not on 22nd October 2009!

What's special is I am the oldest in my year. I was off schedule the whole day on my birthday and didn't study at all and the people in my year sang happy birthday song to me. Well, it was really special at that moment. Get a different group of people singing birthday song to me is actually unusual as i have the same people singing birthday song to me the past few years. Not saying that it's not good when i actually miss it. I didn't have a birthday cake which is totally different from my previous birthdays. First time without a birthday cake feels really weird to me and new to me. Anyways, we don't need cake to call it a birthday, do we? Well, at least it's not bad I have presents and cards and money. HAHA.

Before half term, the boarding staff organised this cluedo night thingy and we had to dress up like the character assigned to us. I'm marcie masseur; someone who works in a Spa. So we were invited to Belinda bucktooth's wedding reception and on that day itself, Belinda was killed. One of the guests is the murderer or it could be the host too. So at the end of the day, we had to guess who is the killer. I guessed correctly!! The reward is haribou gummy. Well, better than nothing.

Three lovely host(teachers)

Bai bai, snow and raihan

This picture was taken when I wasn't ready. Spot the skull and the candle!

Lin yue the rock star(she is the murderer)

love long mirror

the long mirror outside our rooms

In the duty(living) room with wana, Cassie and Mrs Pywell at the back

My senior bought the hand in york dungeon if I'm not mistaken

This is just trying to be a model..

It was a good night as we didn't have to do our prep(homework). Then Mrs. Pywell decided to check our rooms and it's seriously in a mess cos before that we were busy finding clothes for the night and heels and things were all misplaced like clothes on the floor, one side of the shoes near the cupboard, the other is missing, make up on the bed... etc. Well, at least our room is not the worst. In fact, it's the most clean one among college 1. We're proud of it, yes.. we do. Even though i admit i have the most electrical appliances and things with wire or cables laying on the floor and sometimes got tangled up and it's all in a mess but without those hairdryer, straightener, charger and so and so.. My world is going to turn upside down... well not really turning upside down but you get wad i mean.. it would be really inconvenient.

So, after the cleudo thingy, we went straight back to college house and I was playing with my friend's wig. Omg, shouts cool. It's Snow's wig. Yeaps scroll up to the picture up there and yes, Snow is wearing a wig. I was having fun examining the wig and play with it as if it was a toy. The wig cost about 50 to 60 pounds. Awesome much. Anyways, I'll end this post with a picture of
