Hibernating

Image
Its Saturday mid afternoon now. I just came back from Shien's room at the basement floor. Sorta helped him up with his packing since he is leaving tommorrow. But he shu-ed me away because he claims that I am disturbing him ! haha..Anyways, later abit I will accompany him to a nearby taxi rental office to make a booking for tommorrow morning 6am. His train departs at 8am to Belgium, so he will have to leave the house at 6. Its incredibly fast that one week has just passed by, and it seemed as though he arrived here yesterday morning. Anyways, just to share my thoughts a lil, I think I am already used to London and its weather, although its chill cold, but its fun! Everything has already settled down to the bottom - accommodation,handphone,internet,cooking utensils, and all other survival items. haha. There was once when I was in class and the lecturer was teaching, my mind wondered a little further. I was telling myself "Hey, look at where I am now. I am in the class listening ...

Chinese New Year Celebration !

Image
Hola everyone! Its Chinese New Year! Gong Xi Fatt Chai to all of you. How was everyone's celebration ? Enjoyable or not ah ? Better take hold of this chance to win more money this year, when I am not around. Because the next Chinese New Year I will be back and NEVER hope to win. Just pray to lose LESS. haha. Joking! I am sure everyone did enjoy themselves in the beginning of the year of OX. I wish to share my first day of the Chinese New Year experience with my readers so here it goes. Well, nothing extremely exciting on the first day of CNY. My day started only during lunchtime, because I stayed up late the previous night. Haha. Basically theres nothing to do during the morning of CNY - no prayers,no breakfast. Kinda boring so decided to sleep on. Lunch time, Shien and I went to a nearby Thai restaurant by the name of TukTuk. If I am not mistaken, this restaurant is owned by a Malaysian. Nothing great about lunch. Chatted with Shien throughout the meal. Shien's mouth never sto...

My Weekends

Image
Its saturday evening now. Enjoyed my relaxation time in my room the whole day. Did nothing much. Was just in front of my laptop surfing, chatting, played games the whole time. Oh ya, just for your information, I had already picked up Shien from the Queensway tube station just few streets away from my hostel and he is sitting next to me right now enjoying his HannahMontana which is some gurly show to me. This afternoon,I have ordered my new handphone via online,together with KokWei. Alas, among all the research and enquiries from Liang, I have found the ONE! Its a HTC Touch HD phone. More like a PDA with a Windows function. Cool! And its arriving on Wednesday. Here are some tease pics! Many friends and family asked me how my Chinese New Year plan was coming up. When they asked me, I didnt realise that the Chinese New Year is THAT soon.Its only 2 days left! Monday is the first day of CNY. OMG. This is the first time in my life that I am not going to celebrate CNY wi...

My connection is FAST !

Hey ya guys! Its time to update you all! haha.. As I am typing this, I am feeling extremely excited about my just acquired internet. Its is damn fast. Imagine a download speed of 800kbps ! and upload speed about 400+kbps! Thats like 5-6 times faster than my home in Malaysia ! Hurray.. Now I can webcam and chat with ya all smoothly. Cheers! Todays class was interesting, as p3 should always be. The lecturer talked much about the Toyota,Honda,GM,Benz,BMW,LCA college itself comparing with Kaplan, Tesco blablabla. Its very interesting to know about the ups and downs of these entities in reality. P3 is the only lesson which I will have full concentration that will make me willingly sit still on my chair albeit the 6 and a half hours of class straight ! Theres another good news I have just received earlier yesterday. Shien is coming back to London to make a visit before he transits to Bristol on the 24th of Jan! He will be leaving for Bristol on 1Feb 2009(staying over for a week). Hurray. So ...

Ken's Departure

Image
My cousin, Ken, reached London on Friday(16th Jan 09). He hanged out at my place for 4 days 3 nights which means he has just departed this afternoon at 12 to Berlin(i think its berlin). Throughout these few days I did not feel lonely and stuff probably there was a close company from Ken. Of course I dont because Ken has been bringing me to all sort of places throughout London - ChinaTown,Musicals,Coffee Sessions,bookstores etc. Although some of those places might not be interesting or bores me a little, at least there was someone to communicate with. Today, 20 Jan 09 Monday, my cousin left London for Berlin at noon. YuenThern and I managed to walk him to the Paddington Railway station. Both of us then went to Tesco to get out ingredients for lunch and dinner. The purchasing power of the pounds is really great. I took quite an amount of ingredients and meat and eggs, the total was only 10.15 pounds. Yeah, if converted that would be almost RM60. But for the London-ers, its really cheap f...

Saturday Night

Image
Its saturday, everybody's shopping day! I woke up at 10 in the morning. YuenThern, my roomate overnight at his aunt's place. Which means my room only has 2 occupants which is me and my cousin,Ken. I lazed around, went online, and watched some Korean drama. Around 12, I was very hungry already so Ken decided that we should cook mushroom pasta(i think its called pasta, not sure what the Italians call it). The ingredients were bought the night before while we were on our way back from Leicester Square. Ken fried some mushrooms and onions and of course with an amount of oil, boiled half a packet of macaroni, while my responsibility is to watch over him. HAHA! After that, he also heated up the mushroom sauce together with half a bottle of fresh milk and combine both together resulting in MUSHROOM PASTA ! Sounds yummy ? it is actually. But theres only one problem. I felt my stomach was overbloated just after eating 1/4 of my portion ! The cream and the milk really takes effect quick....
