Nintendo DS Lite - black

Woo la la.. I've just bought a DS Lite today during lunch :) I wanted the white one, it looks really cool. I find it looking like an apple product! I have a white ipod nano! But neh, the white would get dirty easily. So I settled for the black, and no regrets! :)

Mark, my colleague, was in New York the past few days on a business trip. He was supposed to help me get my DS lite there but unfortunately his card had problems with NY. Anyhow he managed to help me get some DS games on my To Get list! Cool! So with the DS games, I definately gotta get the DS lite itself then.

The DS games were much cheaper in US as compared to UK. So I managed to get Harry Potter, Brain Academy, Meteos for £45. That's quite a saving!!! Imagine one game alone could cost about £20 each in UK. My DS had an offer, one game (I gotten Brain Training) + DS at £110, otherwise it would be £99 for the DS alone. That's cool I got 4 games + DS for £155! (All figures are rounded off to the nearest) Now I have a new companion on transportation with me :)

So.... Look out for my reviews on the 4 games in blogs to come.

lovely surprise from the mushroom

:) I got home from work today. Passed the stairs and saw there's a package from Singapore for me. I wonder who could it be from. I picked it up, opened it, and *tah dah* a pressie + letter from Lisi (mushroom)!!! Aww.. how sweet of her! I love surprises :)

It was a lovely scheduler. Perfect! Just what I needed! However here's the twist. If only Lisi had mailed it out to me earlier, I would have been happily filling it out with ink NOW! Unfortunately I bought a similiar scheduler over here too just a few days ago, and ink's already terrorizing within it. So I'm gonna be Super Panda for the next 12 months at least before I turn into Between You and Me. Haha... Thanks Lisi! *MUACKS*

* mushroom = lisi
pea = me

Holland VS Portugal - World Cup 2006

Oh my God! Albeit I'm not really a soccer soccer person, I must say I've never quite enjoyed tonight's match more than ever!

Cristiano Ronaldo crying for getting off the field (bet he should be crying now how lucky to be kept off the remaining of the match and not getting yellow/red card/s), 16 yellow cards, 4 red cards (2 each team), fighting going on behind the referee's back, 6 minutes extra time. Never been more amused. I was hoping that Holland would stand a chance to win, but it seems pretty unpromising as the game played along. I had wished to see both Holland and England playing against each other in the next match. It's been a really entertaining match nonetheless. Never laughed nor cried nor felt more anguished this ever.

I just so loved it when the commentor said,"16 yellow cards.. who cares... it's been ridiculous!"

Hell ridiculous it's been! That's right! LMAO!

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - book 6

I can't believe the ending to 6th book! Dumbledore's DEAD! Snape KILLED him! I wish it wouldn't have been so. It was so shocking! I was devastated and sad that I teared during the last 2-3 chapters. Dang! Shocker! Heart breaker! But it's been marvelously well written. Great book! I can't wait to read the 7th book when it comes out. And of course like me, there are many other Harry Potter readers out there who has the same belief as I, i.e. Dumbledore's not really dead!

So, check this site out: www.dumbledoreisnotdead.com

"Song" below inspired by above aftermath of reading the book. *giggles*


Title: Beach longing

Whenever I ever wanted to be alone, feeling all down and lost.
All I ever wished to do was to be there by the beach.
Sitting down on the soft sand, facing the waves before me.
Listening to their sound of music, soothing it may be to my nerves.
At least they allowed me to seek some solace and comfrot from.
With no need of a permission or what so ever.
I can freely set my heart free from my sufferrings.
They spread their invisible arms around me with patience.
Alone in their presence I can find myself facing all day.
Admiring the beautidul dawn to dusk I can.


P.S. "They" referring to the waves/beach

cookies

Made some cookies! It had been fun trying to bake! Woo hoo.. It's been over a decade!

Tried 3 seperate attempts (on different days). First attempt had been horrible. I put too much margarine, but it's still tasty. So for the second atempt I put in lesser margarine. And tried putting in some butter for the third attempt as I havne't enough margarine. Tsk tsk... I brought cookies to work from the second and third attempts. They all at work loved my cookies! Even my housemates! *beams* Now they call me the cookie queen. Haha.. My colleagues call me Cake Biscuit (as it tasted so) or Cookie at times now.

But I think my third attempt was the best batch! I'm defiately gonna try a forth attempt! Might try putting a chocolate chunk in each cookie next round. It only gets better. Hee.

Here's the simple recipe I found online:

Soft baked choco chips cookies
1 cup margarine
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup vanilla custard
2 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
2 cups choco chips

1] cream margarine, sugar and custard together
2] add eggs
3] add rest except choco chips
4] mix well and add choco chips
5] drop by teaspoons onto cookie sheets
6] bake at 185 degrees

P.S. it was mentioned 1 pkg vanilla pudding, but I couldn't find it, hence used the vanilla custard as the substitute, which I would say turned out really well :)

In the London oven

I’ve never like to curse and swear, but fuck it. It’s like being in an oven out there, especially when you’re stuck in the tube for a fucking hour!!! When it finally budged and got to Acton Town, the whole station has to close. Oh lovely! I love getting delays in an oven due to rail signal probs. Then I hafta walk all the way under the fucking hot sun all sweaty to catch a bus to Shepherds Bush in the fucking hot bus. But I had a fucking pleasant journey in the oven again to Oxford Circus station to change to Bakerloo line to Piccadlilly Circus. Don’t one just love the transport system in London? I know I do. Fuck cares.

*shrugs*

*clears throat*

So… hows everyone coming along back home then eh? Bet the SMRT is never that bad like what happened to me this morning trying my fucking best to get to work in time only to end up near 2 fucking hours late!

A list of choices

Life is about choices.. summer is here. We are all braced with many choices in life... so here's a list of mine. Tsk tsk...

I would either have to get a new pair of jeans or shed some extra weight off
I would either have to get new skirts for the summer or get my mum to mail over some of mine from home
I would either have to get a new pair of sunglasses or squint my eyes under the sun
I would either have to get a new TV or make do without cartoons and drama in my life
I would either have to get a decent shoe rack or scatter my shoes all over the room
I would either have to get a big towel to lay on while tanning or remain fair in the rare UK summer
I would either have to get nice summer dresses or miss out on the perfect chance to ever wear them here
I would either have to get more shorts to wear at home or keep wearing the only pair without washing for weeks
I would either have to get summer open toe footwear or let my feet stink beneathe my covered shoes

The list of things (materal) I want in life. The list goes on and on for sure...

Officially a year

With reference to this previous blog of mine - a month into london , I think it's time to review it once more. As of 24th May 2006, I've now been living in the UK for a year.

Here's my review from last's year's:
Now a month year into London, so what's it about that I'm missing from home? Family and friends excluded as they have always been missed.

1. Radio Stations & Music Variety - There's alot more black music here, not that I have anything against them. They are nice.
   I take that back. I love the music stations here! I think there are lesser radio commercials too! Cool! But I do miss hearing chinese songs over the radio back home.
   


2. My PC & broadband! - I miss stoning in front of my PC in the wee hours doing nothing! Hahaha!
   No doubt about this still! Though I do that here but it's just not the same as back home!


3. Shopping - It's so much cheaper back home!!!!
   Correction: Things back home are getting more expensive. You can get things cheap if you know where to find here. But I think Bugis area is getting greater than before to shop back home. I like it there still.
   


4. Authentic Asian Food - I MISS nasi padang!!!! Pineapple rice!!! Some chinese food here don't even taste nor look chinese!!
   You betcha! I want my nasi padang still!!!


5. MRT & SBS/buses - I miss the aircon and speed. It's stuffy in the transport here when the weather gets hot. It's much cheaper back home too!!!
   The tube/transport system here practically sucks especially during the weekends, what to do since it's been a really old system. Way back...


6. Fruits - Much cheaper! So much more! I want my papaya!
   Exotic fruits like pineapple and papaya and yes, watermelon are rare here, you'll be surprised! And they cost!


7. Bed & Pillows & Bloaster - I MISS my baby bloaster!
   *sobs* But I have my own room now! So yippy!


8. Beaches(Sentosa) & East Coast Park - I MISS Sentosa which had been at my expanse! I MISS all the blading at ECP!


9. Playgrounds - There's one in every estate/neighbourhood you turn into back home! It's hard to find a decent one here! I wanna play on the swing!
   


10. Weather - Though the weather can be stinking hot back home, but it's always summer all year round, just 2 seasons - rainy and non-rainy. I kinda miss those stormy weather at times, especially in the mornings! Snugging beneath my warm blanky with me baby bloaster! I miss the consistence in weather too albeit the fact that I do enjoy the different seasons here. Think I like it here in late Spring - early Autumn. Winter? No thank you. And dang, it's never even snowed here, real snow! None. I must make sure I get to try snowboarding out this time round! Hmm... Come to think of it, this year's Spring is really late. Last year this time, the trees would all be green and full, now those outside my house are still pretty bare, not as full blown as last year's. Oh dear...
    

Ah, but there must be stuffs here that I'm enjoying and liking! You betcha!

1. Cherries & Strawberries - It's their season!! Much cheaper too! YUMMY!!!
   You only get those in Spring mostly. It's nice, I'm finally able to taste fresh cherries and strawberries again :) Just had one minutes ago.


2. Pastry, Cakes, Cookies, Desserts! - Simply heaven! Yummylicious! Wide choices! I simply LOVE the carrort cake at one of the cafe at Sloane Square!!!
   ARGH! I've put on 5kg since last year! I'm horrible! No. THEY are horrible! They can't do this to me!!! (They meaning the desserts, etc.) BTW Krispy Kreme Donuts are the BEST donuts one could ever have in life!


3. Marks & Spencer - LOVE it though not cheap! The food! The sandwiches! Best!
   No doubt M&S is good, but I've found pleasures in the other supermart/sandwich shops here like Waitrose, Pret A Manger, Eat, Fresh & Wild, etc. Yeah! Sandwich here rules!


4. Fashion - Dress as you like! So much more shops, varieties, choices! So much much more! Men here dress up more too! Cool~
   I love looking at people's dressing here! They really good at it! And the guys are so cute here. Hee hee... my eyes are going ga ga... ha ha!
   


5. People - All sorts: weird, funny, scary, cute, charming, cool, interesting, shocking, rude, good, etc. Different mixtures, more than Singapore!
   Yeah, it's fun meeting all sorts! And I have really great new colleagues, and I still keep in touch with the ex-colleagues too. I've been hanging out with them, new or old. And housemates too. Making new friends too. So it's been really keeping me busy.
   


6. MTVs - Yeah and certain shows too, like Will & Grace, SATC, both sexually hilarious.
   Unfortunate to say, I don't have those to watch anymore since last July. But I like some of the local programmes/documentaries. Little Britian's wicked! And the cartoons too! A pity the TV in my room has died on me. So goodbye to Mr. TV!


7. Supermarkets & Sandwiches - Too many choices!
   Yes, refer to #3. I've never had such a hard time with deciding which sandwich or bread to get. I'm spoilt for choices! Wraps are great too! *beams*


8. SALES/Shopping - Only time when things cost cheaper : sales!
   Definately! H&M, Primark, they have been filling my wardrobe. A nice dress at H&M range from £15 (approx. S$45) onwards. That's cheap! But wait... wait till you've heard about Primark! Imagine a pair of shoes for as cheap as £6 (approx. S$18 ), a nice necklace from £1.50 (approx. S$4.50), bags from as cheap as £3 (S$9). Heaven! TK Maxx is another killer too! I try not to get in there and stay away from it as far as I can. However, I gotten my fav. Miss Sixty jeans there at slightly less than £20 (approx. S$60! Imagine you get those for S$300 at least from the boutique!) Now I'm just waiting for the sales to come. I've been spending too much in 2005! I'm now trying real hard to save and not spend too much so that I can go travel more. So far it's been.. hmm I better not say. Let's just put it that I've managed to get to Italy, Paris and Vienna to date in 2006. (I've not spent money on shopping in those countries! WOW! Amazing! How unlike me!) Also planning a holiday or 2 or 3 to look forward to in June/July/August.


9. (Flea) Markets, Museums, Parks - Awesome! I'm fascinated by Richmond Park.
   The markets about Liverpool street area (Spitalfields, Petticoat Lane) I love! Haven't been to the museums much, perhaps I should look into that. Next garden/park on my list must be the Kew Gardens! I need to find someone to come along with me then. Tsk tsk...


10. Stockings & Boots - Good for the cooler weather. Woo lala! I'm gonna wear those!
    It's cool to be able to wear boots here! And nice stockings/leggings too! I wanna get more boots when the cooler weather comes again. For now I'm happy to have summer come upon the cold UK once more! I wanna go about in short skirts/shorts wearing flip flops! Don't wanna put on winter clothes! Figured I had enuff of those! Had enuff of the cold as well!!!


11. Movies - I have always enjoy going to the cinema, just don't like paying for the extortions that's all. However now that's changed! A few of us from work have gathered and form The Cinema Club, where we go watch movies a few times together every month. We all signed up for this Unlimited Movie Pass, for just £13.99 (approx. S$42) per month we can watch as many movies as we want to! That's absolutely freaking fabulous! Woo hoo! In April alone I dare say I've been to 6 movies already! Be it alone or with colleagues. Now dig this! That's what I call a great bargain! It's even better than the Singapore Film Society I'd join back home.
    


12. Clubbing - I love the clubbing scene here! It rocks! Much better music and crowd as compared to back home. However alot of people do drugs here in the clubs, so that bit I HATE! Drugs and drinking here are really a very big problem. Smoking too. Very bad, but music's great! Can't complain to that. Haha... I love Fabric (a club in London)! There're a number of other nice ones as well. Many.
    

So there you go! I dare say I'm still having a great time here, other than the darn HOT weather otherwise perfect. (It's hardly been very HOT the past year. Hope 2006's summer will be better than last year's) Gimme a few more months before asking me once more. *Grinz* I must say that I really am having a fantastic time back here again after starting on my second new job after 2 weeks break from home in March. Though work's getting very stressful and busy lately, I'm hanging on and trying to keep cool.

Think I'm definately gonna miss my life here in UK when I do go home some day. We'll just see how things go then. *smiles* In the meantime, I'm gonna make whatever time I have here well spent. You bet!

Monologue

"I guess I've muddled things up again without knowing what's it exactly I've done. It just drives me nuts. They never tell me what the root of it all exactly is anyway. I must have been thick. I really haven't a clue. It just cuts a bit of my heart away each freaking time. No wonder I haven't got any senses left. The nerves and tissues must be so hell of a messed up with each shed. Hell have a must been. What does it matter that I cry anymore. But sometimes I just want to do that anyway. At least it made the nerves and tissues connect for once before they get broken off again. It's mad but at least that works like an asprin for a headache. Except that I don't like or take asprins. It's just insane. I need some chocolate - my asprin. Just need the pain to remind me I'm alive that's all.

"It's actually pretty amusing to find myself saying this but in all these years, I've never spent it, that is my birthday with anyone special apart from my dear girl friends whom I simply adore spending time together with. I never get bored with 'em company. We always have fun times together. Smashing, be it just not talking. Ha, yeah, a few times I thought I could have spent it with someone special, say a guy. It had always been a near hit. But they just slipped away. Chickens. Well perhaps I did, years ago once, but we were great mates anyway. I miss him! That idiot has the cheek to spite me by being in the country I'd've love most to be in right now! He's got the guts I say, yeah. I wanna visit him if I can. It's gonna be terrific.

"Yeah, someone special to make my "just like any other ordinary day" (b'day) special. I think that might have just happened this year though it felt kinda ordinary. Just this one day for now. Just this one special day. Only that one day. After that, it just sorta vanished, disappeared like magic. Guess that's when things just muddled up anyway. I don't give a damn. Afterall I've already gotten my special day. To think that I could actually let this slip away? I did anyway. But I'm still saying it anyway. I just blew it away. I just did and I don't wanna give a hoot at. But I probably guess I'm thinking otherwise. Yeah, me. No matter what, the only two memories I wanna hang onto will just be those two days. The rest I just shouldn't anyway.

"The two memories. That one of him giving me my special day, shan't put that onto the table now. The other where we first met and for a brief moment felt my heart skipped a beat. That sweater pullover gave my heart that missed beat. Any guy caught wearing that, any guy, has got me right there and then. It's such tragedy. To be killed by a mere striped soft grey and pastel soft pink sweater. God damn it! Never wear that! I don't want me dead again. Hell of a sweater that is. Never wear it unless one can carry it off well.

"I'm hoping for the better weathers to come which I highly doubt for a million. I'm really so sick of trying to bring up this weather topic. I don't wanna but ain't it fun horsing about with this weather shite. Yeah. Just had some chocolate off M&S. Less than 99 calorie in one small bar. How comforting that hell of a chocolate bar is.

"I must have been going on and on talking like this kinda no arse shite talk. Ha... boy do I love to amuse myself talking like this right now. I swear I'm laughing. I am, but not the loud sorta, or rolling on the floor grabbing my belly and laughing sorta. None of that. Just a short "Ha" or two. Okay and throw in a few giggles. I'm still a girl somewhere no matter what. I have skirts, tonnes, but I'm always in jeans anyway. Blame it on this freaking weather. Well it's this book I borrowed off a friend that I'm reading now. The Catcher in the Rye. Hell American that feels. It's very mental. I'm half way through though. It just kills me in its own way. I figured I would give it a shot by writing something like it in my own way. Except the fact that this sucks probably. But it's kinda fun."

So If you've enjoyed to this piece of crazy shite, you might probably want to go pick up this book I'm telling ya about. Now, how about that? But beware for the book can be pretty mental. Ha... my deed's done. Think I need something else to feed my mind...

He came down off the shower ledge and came in the room. "Hi," he said. He always said it like he was terrifically bored or terrifically tired. He didn't want you to think he was visiting you or anything. He wanted you to think he'd come in by mistake, for God's sake.

"Hi," I said, but I didn't look up from my book. With a guy like Ackley, if you look up from your book you were a goner. You were a goner anyway, but not as quick if you didn't look up right away.

- The Catcher in the Rye, J.D. Salinger

Check out a review I chance upon for The Catcher in the Rye. Holy shite. Smashing.
http://www.tmtm.com/sides/catcher.html

P.S. Am I heading somewhat towards the way like how Holden Caulfield is in the book? Surrounded by phonies too? Ha ha ha...

Life in mono...

It's been quite a while hasn't it?

It's amazing how fast time flies when one is kept occupied. Alot has been going on about and around me since 2006. It's keeping me occupied but at the same time draining and sucking the energy out of me. New job, new responsibilities, new colleagues, new people, new friends, new travels, new clothes.. tsk tsk... I feel so faded and jaded. How I wish I could express myself like before, freely and be more lively. Pretty tough as I'm feeling pretty numb to just about everything, just name it. Feel as if I were a zombie without any soul. But still there's so many things waiting for me to do and to try and to achieve. No matter what, I'll go on. No soul but yes spirit. Hee hee hee... I figured I'll need more rest or sleep to nurse 'em back. Perhaps a hundred years would be about right. Won't it? Hahaha...

As for now, I'm hoping for the better weather to come upon us. At least that would keep me happy. Yes, you can say that I am quite easily contented. It shouldn't be hard. Why should one try to make things difficult for oneself in order to be happy? Hmmm, but at the same time I think I quite enjoy seeing and making myself sad and take pity on myself. Am I not the only one? I want things to go my way! But it doesn't work that way all the time. Thank you.

I wonder what sort of person have I come to become after this (soon to come) one year away from home, living in the UK? For the better definately! Haha... but it's always very nice to hear from family and friends what have I become. I can be pretty obsess with myself. Self-centered! Narcissism! So what have those who have known me for ages got to say about me then and now? That I've sort of turned mellow? Less lively or bouncy? Tad more serious? Tell me tell me...

Bet you can tell the diff from my past and present blogs anyway. I'm like a case study. Woo hooo... Aite. That's all for now. I'm done with blogging to keep my moodiness at bay.

Ci Vediamo (cya in Italian)

I'm hoping to learn Italian from me housemates, but progress is very bad.

Well well well...

What can I say?
Hell a long time it has been.
For sure that is.
How have I been?
Busy as a bee.
Oh dear, rhymes am I talking in?
I'm afraid not for lame I've always been.
Hahaha....
Lazy is the word I'd say.
Hammer me right hard on my head.
Catch me that is if you can.
Aite, stay tune for more.
If paitence is what you've got.
Who knows this blog be dated once more.


Silly poem by silly me. Grinz. Love it? Neh... I guess not.

Happy Chinese New Year!

I guess it's been a really long time since I last blog in here. First and foremost, I wanna wish all a very Happy Chinese New Year. May the coming of the new year bring everyone happiniess and good fortune. :) I'm sure things will definately be looking more positive for all in the Dog year of the lunar calendar. Things will be turning for the better. Trust me. If not just embrace it with a smile come what may. Darn, have I gone insane with my thoughts. Hahaha...

I'm still in London. Without my family with me to celebrate this Lunar New Year, but fret not for I still have friends here to keep me company. It's getting cold here but somehow I'm getting pretty used to this weather. Imagine wearing a skirt under your winter coat in such harsh weather condition. Thank God we ain't like Moscow, -30 degrees. Man, that's what we should call cold. Think I'm gonna die of heat when I get back home to sunny old Singapore soon. Can't wait to head off to the beach. Roller blading by the coast too! I miss the sensation of the wind blowing across your face, giving you the carefree feeling. Ah! How nice. Mind you, the wind here in winter, no no no, you ain't want it come blowing into your face. Ha!

Ha! Alright, guess I'm being pretty nonsensical. When had I always been sane anyway. Oh dear... Buah ha ha ha!!!

Amsterdam - All that was taken has been lost!

I'm so bloody hell damn sad now! Wails! All the photos that I've snapped on my camera has been formatted away! Boo Hoo hoo!!! I'm so messed up now. £"$"$%"£$

Thinking that I've backed up my photos onto my desktop, I went to reformat my memory card to clear space for more photos in my coming trip to Germany the very next day. Normally I won't have done the formatting until I'm sure I've gotten my stuffs backed up. But this time, think I'm tired out from the straining overnight journey back home from Amsterdam that my mind must have been in space and I didn't realise what I was doing. (too much weed smoking maybe? HA) Imagine getting off the bus for the customs check 3 times flat in the cold wee morning hours!!! Noisy passengers and cramp seat through out 12 hours or more! What's worse, I've gotta get to work right after arriving in the coach station in the morning. Squeezing into the tube with the rush hour crowds with my baggages. :(

ARGH!!!! I just can't believe that this happened! My lovely photos of me in Amsterdam! The wooden clogs, the windmills, the fishing villages, the trams, the building, the canal boat ride, the people, the Heineken Brewery! ALL GONE! Boo Hoo HOoO!!! I'm so inconsolable now! I want my photos back!!! Sobs! Wails! ARGH!!!!

Anyway Amsterdam was nice apart from the fact of my deleted photos, we had a great time. Ate a lot of free cheese in Holland. :) But I'm still very sad now that I want to cry it all out! All the frustration just engulfs me up. Sobs. Miserable! I want to go back to Amsterdam again to get back what I've lost! It's lovely there. :(
