La Hawelli Curry Night

~An update on events pre-exam~
It was a curry night at the curry mile in Manchester which is Rusholme. It was organized by one of my old PBL classmates, Abhi.(for some reason, she enjoys scaring and bullying yvinne and me.. the Malaysians.. sobs.. haha) It was just a get together of a a few PBL groups she had been in and it also served as a belated birthday party for one of the girls.
The curry was to start at 7.30pm. I had yet to leave my Salfordian flat at 7.15 pm. Goodness, it would take an hour to get to ther curry mile. Finally the tram came and we headed off.
we were more that half and hour late. whoopsie~!~!~!~
I was very nice to meet my old PBL group mates and also some of the friends we had studied with during our postings. Yvinne and I were seated across from this two boys. They knew a couple of Malaysians in our year and had a couple of malay nicknames they learned for each like Si Puteh and more...
They seemed to have a fixation on using the word "lah" (we have brought the "lah" to England.. maybe it will catch on.. haha)
They tried to learn many word all through the night. It was hilarious... Imagine someone saying "si CoMel" in an english accent.. and due to they love of the word "lah".. they insisted on saying it as "si comel lah" haha
They also learned how to say "cun chick" and more... all in preparations to speak to malaysian girls... :)
Finally, he was put to the test, he was to be videotaped trying to pick up a girl.. which in this case was a stuffed hippo which was given to the birthday girl. He was to use all his new words... it was a hoooooooooooooooott~!~!~ there is a video
i am contemplating on sharing it.. but he seems really eager not to get it publically displayed...hmmm
It was a nice night and for that few hours, the stress of the exam had escaped me until i set foot into my room again..

Mission Impossible III

well, surviving winter in the UK, i always thought i'd never be able to go out of my house without my armour to battle the cold until summer came around...
for the past 2 days we have been experiencing malaysian weather here... well, yesterday yes, it was hot and humid and.. wow.. no more wool and jumpers...
the weather today is ideal, it's just perfect, the sun is bright and warm... but there is a chilly breeze that help cool us as we walk the daily long walk to HOpE HosPital YvInne and I take....
Progress test is coming up... no clue how in the world we are to prepare for that one..
Went for MI III yesterday... the super plan was for us to watch the 8pm MI III at AMC, unfortunately, we... got out of the house a little late.. say about 7.45, the plan would have worked if the tram came around immediately... that way we'd be at AMC by 8.10 and would have missed the commercials.... and be right in time for the movie...
Our tram stop is one stop before the last one before the trams turn around and come back to take us to the city. We saw a tram going towards the end and we delighted that if it came back within 5 minutes or so we'd make it..!~!... minutes went by..
where was the tram...
i think it went to eccles (the last stop) .. to die..
finally 20 minutes later came a tram to take us .. for..... MISSION IMPOSSIBLE III....
We missed the 8pm show so we watched the 8.40 one..
MALAYSIAN AIRLINES was in MI III... i was so proud..
during one of the scenes... filmed in SHanghai.. there was a Malaysian airlines signboard in the background... unfortunately it was backwards as it was facing the other side.. but which malaysian wouldn't recognize that logo...
hehe..
that's all fer now

my friend is a racist....

i was having lunch today when someone said
"what is the difference between a bucket of shit and and indian?"
the answer was the bucket...
arrrrgh....
i guess it's just that generation...

blog title says it all...

i'm having one of those moments... feeling real alone... ever know what it's like to be in a room full of people and yet still feel all alone...
I realized one thing whenever i feel this crappy, you know what makes me feel betteR??? it's the one and only thing i have found so far and even at times it doesn't work.. it's playing with a little baby.... yeah... or a cute little child... not those that could bite me and scream at me... or worse kick me when i'm down <---- haha.. but just a sweet little angel child....
i really really don't like feeling this way....
here's my theory...
it's brought about by a freakin' landslide of things.. most importantly, hormones... female hormones... this kinda feeling comes about because of something like that...
it's also because i'm too free.. and i spent the day bumming in the house... actually it's been days... have been unwell, vomiting and nausea.. so, haven't really been out...
it's always good to get out... and of course thinking too much... i thought about so many things... esp my life while i was in IMU... it was so wonderful... so much joy and fun... the people the places... going out with friends... the company... the comfort.... so many things i miss....
should stop thinking now......
anyway....tomorrow or so i know this feeling won't be there and i'll look back at this and go.. "what the hell????" y did i feel so screwed up?
yeah well, then this post should go away... but.. till then.... it's here....

alright then... top is an introduction to the character who may appear in this blog... my housemate... the Tang family cartoon... muahahaa... and i don't know what other pic to put... just testing this...
anyway....
second consecutive day of blogging... not too shabby... haha... wonder how long i'll keep this up... anyway, spent an entire day at the GP today...
woohoo... can't believe how fast time flies...
had a pretty good lunch... twas free~!~!! hehe... drug reps seem to come down to medical centres and promote they're new drug and the best part is they come with lots of goodies...
had a wonderful lunch of various cheeses, choc cake, crisps.. cold cuts... the variety was awesome... for a medical centre anyway, compared to haha hospital canteens... lols...
the best part... coffee... yum,... can't get enough of it..

Anyhow Anyhu... hehe..
Cleaned the apt today in preparation of Tan Sri and Puan Sri Tang's visit... well, cleaned half way then got carried away on the computer.. so yvinne handled the rest.. good job babe... sorry.. not my fault.. the computer got me...

Do you know... ???
di sini tiada Dust Pan like in Malaysia??? Wierd fact.. or maybe it's just that i haven't found it. ..
We got a teeny one... where you gotta squat on the floor and use a little brush to sweep it in... haha... You didn't really wanna know about that right???

Going to continue my quest to become a bloggerpert... gonna try to add a pic... you see it, it worked .. you don't damn i suck..
lol
hugs y'all

So, yeah well, i'm in manchester already... time has flown by so fast. Currently based in the hospital of my choice... thank God... and living right behind it... (ain't that nice??? ) Well, so much for all the footwear in Malaysia.... ain't no cheap shoes like Malaysia here... hmm, bought shoes.... if gaya then darn painful to wear around hospital... and the "click clock click clock"... goodness...

It's a real potato life... jacket potato, mashes potato, fries.. it's like the main side dish to every meal... has about 2 weeks of jacket potatoes and baked beans... was down with a massive cold as soon as i got here... well, a couple of days later.... sick of it now....

miss malaysia like crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.... miss home, family, friends, the life, mid valley, one u.. the late night movies... the mamak food... the feeling that you're safe and protected in your own country... miss all of that.. miss all you IMU ppl...

I'm still trying to work this thing.. perhaps with the aid or Chia Ming the computer whiz, i can actually maintain this site well and keep it up to date... *hint* chia ming.. help~!~!~!

it's been ages

I'm well aware it's been ages since i wrote in this thing... hmm... don't know y i haven't actually..
the truth is .. it's been so long i forgot my password... haha...

Last night was the mini tremor night... which meant there was a severe earthquake somewhere else.. that may have harmed the lives of many...

Followed Dexter, Lawrence, Hong Chee, Jack, Ai Lee, Etc... to go get ball clothes for the ball yesterday... just realized boys have such a limited varity of shirts and nice ties to choose from...
there was a beautiful white shirt in Topman though... call me boring but i think a gorgeous white shirt with a simple tie that matches ur date's shirt is the way to go..

Waiting for my ball dress to be ready... haha.. anxiety... shouldn't be a problem... well i hope anyway..
i'm really bored right now..

Well, back to last night... i was in "mamak" when the vibrations and swayings of our vista towers had occured... felt nothing... guess coz i was closer to ground... heard the higher floors experienced it more.. hmmm... like Bernard and how he had to run out in all he had... hehe... sorry Burne...
Hopefully another tsunami does not strike... it's really sad how the people who were just recently hit and are trying to pick up the pieces in their lives to go through it again... the poor things...

Semester 5 final is about 11 weeks away... really worried about it... stressed... reminds me... need to go study...
till i look in here again.. *ciaoz*

black feet and delayed motions

sitting on a high chair at the age of 20... plus.. and exclusive on mothaphobia

okay.. IMU Cup is gonna be over soon... phew!!! i loved it and all but i think it has put my studying on way too long a hold... not to mention well deserved sleep...
allow me to whine a minute here of how much my neck hurts..
oh yeah, tennis for IMU cup was yesterday... I umpired a couple of games... here's how it went..
while getting up onto the umpire's seat i almost toppled it on myself... then, while i was umpiring a game i suddenly noticed huge things flying in the air... birds??? perhaps... bats??? err not sure... but there was a nagging thought in my mind.. MOTHS.... for those of you who don't know me that well... i've got a massive MOTH phobia.. moths and butteflies.. once in my apartment... i actually was so scared i sprayed the moth with ridsect or Baygon and ran to my balcony and started screaming... hahhaha.... i think i kind of wet the Moth's wings ... muahahhahaha... *i'm not mean!*
Oh well, back to the topic... so, umpiring tennis tournaments. .. yeah.. towards the night i had incredible difficulty in seeing the fast balls... hmmm possible presence of night blindness... i'm so so scared to get a score wrong while umpiring...
hmmm.. in a day... i ate mcdonalds 3 times... grrrr.. ... but yummm... i don't know what i'm typing...
okay... i'm too lazy to continue typing... ciaoz
