boring week…

this has been a supremely unhappening week…

last night went for dinner with Jaqui, Chris, Katherine, Laura, Anna, Dave, Chris n Keith to celebrate Jaqui’s bday. we had dinner at Ginza at Mansfield Road. teppanyaki! the food was really quite good! n the chefs put on lil performances for u while they’re cooking some of the dishes. things like juggling eggs, setting the stove on fire, etc. really cool.

after dinner we headed over to The Hand and Horn. think thts what its called. sat for a while listening to them talk. they’re a really fun bunch. came home around 11ish pm n went to bed. tiredddd…

been working on my essay this week…

i’m so sleepy…

my mom n bro are in london now. they’ll b coming up to notts for the weekend tmw. monday they go back to london n msia.

the chinese are a funny bunch :)

A young Chinese couple gets married. She’s a virgin. Truth be told, he is a virgin too, but she doesn’t know that.

On their wedding night, she cowers naked under the sheets as her husband undresses in the darkness. He climbs into bed next to her and tries to be reassuring.

‘My darring,’ he whispers, ‘I know dis you firss time and you berry flighten… I promise you, I give you anyting you want, I do anyting – juss anyting you want. You juss ask. Whatchu want?’ he says, trying to sound experienced and worldly, which he hopes will impress her.

A thoughtful silence follows and he waits patiently (and eagerly) for her request. She eventually shyly whispers back, ‘I want to try someting I have hear about from odda girls….. Numbaa 69.’

More thoughtful silence, this time from him. Eventually, in a puzzled tone he asks her… ‘You want…Garlic Chicken wif snow peas?’

CLICKKKKKK

sorry i’ve been MIA

end of quite a good Birthday week.

21st birthday

yesterday, i turned 21 years old. it was one of the most enjoyable days i’ve had in years.

on Tuesday i had a group meeting for AGS. had that from 7 to 9pm at the library. when i came out, Keith was there to greet me :D

when i got home and Keith was making a cup of tea i was greeted by this when i got to my desk:

he had left it all here when he came by to drop off his stuff before coming to meet me!! :D

 

balloon!!!!

presents!

he only allowed me to open the presents after midnight. haih. hahaha! then we watched The Naked Gun 2! they’re hilarious la. midnight came, and i opened them! :D pictures later in the post.

in the morning, went for my lecture, came home, grabbed some stuff n headed over to the city. bloody hell it was pissing with rain. so depressing. finally bought an umbrella tho. and a whole lot of other stuff which i dont think i should have spent money on. met up with Keith at the outdoor ice rink where he was skating with his Experian team. hehe. funny stuff. in the rain no less. went home after that and tried doing some work but ended up just pissing abt doing absolutely nothing. at 8pm, me n Kok Shen took the bus to the city. Aaron n Eric were on the same bus too! then we met up with Keith at Soulville Steakhouse. it was good! i had the Sirloin Steak. and a yummy yummy dessert :D brownie fudge sundae. or was it fudge brownie sundae? ah whatever it was, it was orgasmic :D

after dinner we all went home. and Keith surprised me with another present!!! so sweet kan? hehe.

oh wells… 21 years old now. legal and all that jazz. dont feel ANY different tho. still feel like a child :p

Sheu n Sith are coming to stay today!!! :D

more pictures after this :

shortie

the entire weekend was spent mostly in bed :D either just chilling or doing work on my laptop. all while in bed. muahahaha! i didnt even step out of the hse on saturday. sunday, went to eat at Hogshead with Keith. had the All-Day Breakfast and Bread and Butter Pudding then walked home.

the day started awfully man. rain, dark skies… Blue Monday. totally new meaning to it. but right now its really nice n sunny. except that there’s winds blowing and howling like crazy. n i have to leave in abt 5 minutes for a lecture. nice.

i’ll b 21 in a few days. shit. less than 2 days!!! wednesday is the big day. time just flew by. seems like only yesterday that i turned 20. received a few bday cards in the mail.

cheers!

already in a christmas mood :D

its been totally pouring with rain since yesterday evening. its so depressing. it was particularly heavy last night when i was going out. walked out in hoodie, jacket, boots, jeans. by the time i got to the bus stop my hood was soaked and my jacket was dripping. the water had even seeped thru the jacket to soak the hoodie. it was ridiculous. and my jeans were dual-coloured. front half was dark from the water. back half was completely dry. met up with Keith n we went to have dinner at Tamatanga. coz we had a 2 for 1 coupon. all thanks to all the cinema visits. note to anyone who watches movies at Cornerhouse, check the back of ur ticket stubs. most of the time they have that coupon. and Tamatanga is really good. the food’s quite fresh too. only drawback is they seat u at tables with other randoms. but the tables are big enough that you don’t actually get overheard when u have a conversation. if u’re quiet enough of course. should be good for parties. good indian food.

after dinner we went up to the cinema. we watched…… *drumroll*…… A Christmas Carol in 3D!

ChistmasCarol2009-Poster

yes yes, as ppl have been telling me, its November and still quite far from Christmas, but still! it was quite a good movie. a tad more disturbing than i expected tho. coz i’m more used to the Disney Scrooge McDuck and Mickey Mouse version. where its for little kids and everything’s all cutesy and funny. this one actually followed Charles Dickens’ version more closely i reckon. altho i really havent read the actual story. but still, dark and scary elements were there. if you were Ebenezer Scrooge i reckon you’d probably be scared into being a loving caring person too. Jim Carrey is a major element of this film too. he voices all the Ebenezers (of course) and also all 3 Spirits of Christmas. Colin Firth is in this one too. he voices Ebenezer’s only nephew, Fred.

its a good movie n something i’d definitely recommend anyone to watch.

its dark already here in Nottingham. the ridiculousness of it all. i miss the sun :(

weekend update

on saturday, went to Dogma with Keith, Dave n Chris. had a nice Tuna Melt sandwich. after eating we walked around a lil bit then walked home. bumped into some of his flatmates, Tess n Carol on the way back. very funny but very nice ppl.

went to meet Keith for dinner at Nandos. after dinner n some dessert we went to Cornerhse to meet Dave n Chris for The Men Who Stare at Goats.

The_Men_Who_Stare_at_Goats_poster

quite an alright movie i guess. some funny bits.

sunday was spent indoors doing nothing :D

fireworks, boots, book, moneyyyy

went to the Guy Fawkes Day Bonfire Event at Forest Fields last night with Keith, Jaqui, Chris, Katherine, Laura. met up with Dave n Chris after the fireworks were over.

went to get drinks from Orange Tree once we walked back from Forest Fields. had a very yummy tasting cocktail called Kermit Juice. i want another one!!!

on another note, i’m gonna try to nvr go back to the city alone unless i really need something that badly from the city. i bought a pair of boots for 35 quid. bye bye moneyyyy…. also bought another book. i still havent finished some of the ones i still have…

cheers!

i hate when the clocks go back. it means it gets dark earlier. walked out of lecture at 5 and the sun was already setting. bloody hell man..

went to the doc today to get an opinion on my stupid throat since it hasnt been getting better. been getting worse for the past 2 weeks. it hurts like hell man. pain up to my ears. literally. turns out i have tonsillitis. yippee… mild one tho. so he gave me antibiotics to hopefully heal it. 4 times a day for 7 days. wonderful.

i dont want to studyyyyyy….. so malas la… haih…

back to work.

cheers!

random lazy days are the best

clocks have gone back.

went to bernard’s hse for a bbq today. ended up being WAAAAYYYYY too windy for a bbq tho. so they ended up frying n grilling everything instead. still quite good tho. left after abt 2-3 hrs coz poor Keith was feeling ill due to drinking too much the night before. came back to my place n just chilled for a good few hrs. listening to music, listening to him sing Jay Chou n Wang Lee Hom. hehe.

lately i’ve had this really warm glow in my heart :) just cant stop smiling.

gonna go do some work now. cheers!

lazy Saturday

an update, I didnt get KPMG. passed the numerical test but didnt pass the verbal reasoning test :( those tests are damn bloody hard!

just finished the Deloitte application.. hope that goes well.

spent the day doing nothing at all :) went to the city to satisfy my Nandos craving :D walked around for a bit after that. went to the market in Market Square, walked around Victoria centre for a bit. then settled down at Pitcher n Piano for some hot chocolate.

then walked home! :) i love Derby road. its covered in leaves. was so fun walking in the piles of leaves covering the pavement. yes yes i am weird :D

in other news, i swear i’ve nvr seen as many Ladybugs as i saw yesterday. seriously!!! my window was open and i caught 9 ladybugs when they flew in. NINE!!! and there was even one that hitched a ride on me to my lecture yesterday! it crawled down my arm as i was listening to the lecturer. and there were so many on the front door AND my windows! gosh :) yes yes, i am very jakun. but u dont get to see that many ladybugs in msia at all.

usual boring Monday.

Weekend!

Its Time to Nut Up or Shut Up

went to watch a movie with Keith, Dave n Chris last night.

Zombieland-poster

its supposed to b a comedy. and there WERE comedic elements to the movie. but i swearrrrr… the amount of GORE involved was just so disgusting. and it was like Drag Me to Hell where i’m constantly expecting some idiot to just pop out on screen and my heart was constantly in my throat like how my face was constantly in my jacket while Keith was busy laughing his ass off at me.

one thing that struck me was how completely different the UK is to Msia. yet again.

the movie was rated for 15 n above. but they dont censor words like ‘Fuck’ and stuff. in Msia immediately they censor it. and they’ll probably rate it for 18 n above due to the amount of gore involved.

oh and also, only in the UK will u find Mercedes Benz, BMW, Peugeot cabs. in Msia, they’re all Protons. haha! unless they’ve been coming out with nicer cabs in Msia la.

i miss home tho.

Gatecrasher Oriental Night

left the hse at abt 7.10pm. met Keith at Canning Circus then we walked to Dave’s place. after a while Tommy n co came. predrinks :) complete with drinking games. and Leonard and Keith harassing Dave’s cat. me n Keith left around 10.15pm coz i had to pass tickets to ppl :D then we queued up with Margaret who was in Notts from Luton for the event. the rest joined us shortly after.

once we got in, the looooonnnngggg queue for the cloakroom began. HAIH. then we went up to the top floor place. damn bloody crowded. but i got Keith to dance!!! wheeeee!!! :D so much for “don’t expect any dancing from me” :p so many ppl were there :D

we left around 2.30 – 3am. damn tired.

missed my 9am lecture this morning :p oops. hehe.

photos!!!

after the cut :D

Monday Bluesss

the day didnt start out too well.. woke up feeling too damn tired with a massive headache. so didnt attend my 9am lecture. woke up at 12pm. went to my remaining two lectures. so now just chilling. gonna eat dinner. then study. hehe. hopefully.

Happy 21st Birthday Desmond!

last night was epic man. hahaha! 64 City Road, Dunkirk for Desmond’s 21st bday celebration. had like, half a beer and a lil sip of some other drink that was given to me. Keith finished the rest for me :D then when the clock struck 12am, all hell was just totally let loose. Des was given Scorpion vodka man. n a couple more drinks. n a tshirt. like, woah after that he was GONE. couldnt walk or stand up, he even ended up with his head on my lap at some point. poor dear. then they finally dragged him to bed. so the rest of us just sat there n chilled. Charles even pulled Iqbal’s pants n boxers down at some point. which thankfully did not reveal nething considering the tshirt he was wearing was quite long. hahaha!

left the hse around 3+am to walk Aaron n Eric back home. then took a cab back.

some photos, not taken by me. i was too lazy to take my camera out. courtesy of Keith n Aaron Liew n several others. will b adding photos so keep watching this till i say dont :)

the weekend is here again.

ah the drinking session at Tommy’s last night ended with me being sick. wtf la. twice in the last 3 weeks… so not good. bleargh. took a cab there. and had a… weird conversation with the cab driver.

Him: so how long have you lived in the UK?
Me: erm not very long. been studying here for the past two yrs.
Him: oh really?? coz you look erm.. very chinese.
Me: erm yea i AM chinese. i’m from Malaysia though. not from China.
Him: oh really?
Me: yea Malaysia has 3 main races. malay, indian n chinese.
Him: oh right right right. i understand. see i only caught a glimpse of you and i didnt expect you to speak like this. i expected more of like ching chong chang to come from you.
Me: hahahaha!
Him: yea but your english is great!
Me: thank you. but we learn and speak english in malaysia.

what is with ppl and thinking that I dont speak good english?? haihhhh… dont judge a book by its damn cover!!! first that american girl and now the cab driver. then the cab driver went on to actually tell me bout his life story like how he’s been living in the UK for 40 yrs now and how he has a family here n everything. funny man.

woke up today with a bloody hangover. nausea is not fun at all. then went to the city with Keith to get something to eat. had the all-day breakfast at Hogshead. then walked around and eventually ended up at this lil bar place. think it was called Malt Cross or something. sat down for a while and eventually left around 7.

gonna go to Des’s thing in a couple of hours.

Keith of course was pissing himself laughing. HAIH. ended up at Fat Cat and each had a Chocolate Brownie Sundae. yummeh.
