First Time

Long time no hear frm me, eh? LOL

well.. since the last time i updated... alot of stuff has been going on.

I went ice skating for the first time in London. Went with Dion, Chen tze, Melissa, Bonnie, Eliza, Joyce, Sue Ping, Ashwin, and me. It was really fun but i got a HUGE bruise on my knee >.<" The day after we went Westfield. Europe's largest mall. The place is huge. its bigger than the whole One Utama... and its got so many different branded names.



that big chunk in the middle is the aerial view of the place. and its got about 3 floors too.. can u imagine how much of a heaven this would be to a shopaholic!?

the second time i went to westfield was with tian han (my new boyfriend). we were walkin around and this promoter girl invited us to the openin of a new shop- Brandy&Melville. The clothes were rlly nice too. There was drinks served and marshmallows and strawberries dipped in chocolate. and the best part was they were served by hot male models. and at one point one of this male models took off his shirt! FUCKING HOT. OMG. ive nvr been that close to a hot guy shirtless. EVER.. i rlly wanted to take a pic.. but i couldnt sneak it. fuckk i couldnt stop looking. it was so hot. i felt quite bad tho.. cuz my bf was standin rite nxt to me :(

ive been hanging out with too many people not in my uni lately. mainly malaysian. i m no where near getting a british accent. haha.. mayb my manglish will b gettin stronger >.<" fuckk. im goin bak to malaysia for xmas holi. the plan is frm dec 21 to jan 10. so if u want me to get u guys anythin frm uk.. say now!! son's already booked orange chocs frm me. haha. work is piling and my procastination habit is rlly takings its toll.. i hope i dont end up failing this course >.<" i didnt slp at all tuesday nite >.<" and managed to write a 1300 word essay including research in 4 hrs. it was shit. i m goin to die >.<" well..anyways, i'm off to my bf's place. :) thts my mini update. im probably skippin on a lot of things hehe

sue ping, melissa and eliza

House Party at Wui Seng's

On Friday me and melissa met up and went shopping at H&M at Oxford Circus. Right after we finished shopping we went outside and as i was puttin on my jacket, this dude (not british) came up to us and was like "hey ladies, i like your style." wtf.. O.o We quickly walked away haha.

After that, we went to a house party over at edgeware road. it was rlly fun! tons and tons of people there. i got to meet alot of new ppl too!!

tho the ending was a bit.. ngeh.. i think the fun from the rest of the day overshadowed that part. :D there was shisha, mahjong, poker, wii and some pot all throughout the apartment. after my experience on gettin pissed drunk, everytime i smell shisha i get a bit of nausea.. so i avoided that room. instead i played the wii with melissa and some new ppl that i met, COOKING MAMA n Wii Sports! haha its sooo hard >.<"" my arm was so sore. not tht i got to sleep much anyways. so anyways, instead of blabbing away.. here are some pics :D

the guys playing mahjong. in the pic from left to right: Deno, Me, Chris (standing) LoongJie (sitting)



Us sitting around after most of the people had gone home. Me and Melissa



High as hell. Melissa and Me



Yay! Group pic. Left to right: Kumalen, Wui Seng (behind), Melissa, Deno (red), Me

The next day, clare came down from Essex and we went to chinatown for shopping. I've stocked up on instant noodles.. so i won't have to starve.. especially since i'm out of microwave foods and its pouring outside so i cant go out and buy anything >.<" i forgot to get ice cream tho. ok, drifted from topic. haha me and clare went chinatown to shop around. She too stocked up on instant noodles. after that we went to visit melissa at her halls. we hung out at the hall's bar where i discovered my new fav drink; ARCHERS! haha. with coke its rlly nice too. cuz its sooo sweet. yum :D there are pics. but they're all on clare's camera. ok.. im getting a bit hungry. i shall leave you with a picture of what we (me, chen tze, ashwin, joyce, sue ping and melissa) cooked last last week on our cooking day.

Ta Da!!

alone

Its hard to be alone.

Especially when you feel out of place

and the one you want is off limits.

No Memory

Have u ever been SO drunk that you have no idea what the hell you did last night and how the hell you ended up in a strangers bed?

after drinking all these on an empty stomach... welcome to complete memory loss.

ingredients to this concoction are:

a bit of apple shisha

One Malibu Coke


3/4 can of beer
(any beer will do)


THREE and a half cups of JD on the rocks. yum.

and an exciting game of "I never.."

felt like shit the next day and till today i stil hav no memory of what the hell happened +.+
this is the first time ive ever gotten so drunk... EVER. apparently there are videos too (which i dont have) gawd. i m never drinkin tht much again. i dont even rmbr pouring the 3rd glass of JD.
anyways, this all happened saturday nite when i went over to LJ's place with some friends to just chill out since we didnt hav enuf cash to go clubbing. 5 guys and 3 girls. rlly fun. wel.. the part tht i rmbr was rlly fun. haha

***

anyways, im missing out on Ministry of Sound London tmr because ive got an early lecture+seminar in the morning and if i go i will definitely KO during class. so.. im not going :(

i also am suppose to b doin research on UK's poverty because World Poverty Day is coming soon, so we're suppose to write a news feature on it. well... as procrastinator, i haven't started. woo~ big surprise.

some of my lectures are quite fun. for our first lecture for Story, Sound, Image, Text (SSIT for short) we watched an episode of The Wire. Its basically to analyze why they make this show this way and how it attracts viewers and stuff. And then for the second lecture, we watched an episode of Friends to analyze TV Series's technique. how AWESOME is that. haha.

Then, for our first lecture in Media and Society, where we learn about influences and effects of Media, we played with LEGO! haha. The guy who thought of the whole idea is our lecturer. David Gauntlett. They even did a news coverage on him!! Go here to read the actual article: http://www.artlab.org.uk/lego-thes.htm

The dude with the glasses? Yea, he's David. My Media and Society lecturer. Coincidentally, one of my SSIT lecturers name is also David. But he's a different David. haha.

bla bla bla. i miss malaysia :(

oh and for those who don't know. Me and Ashwin broke up on the 28th. I guess sometimes even the most beautiful things can fall apart.

Last Days in ExxonMobil

My last days at ExxonMobil...

I dunno what i feel. Its been about 2 months there. I became friends with so many people there and then suddenly I have to leave, fly off to UK. As a leaving gift, I got some trinkets to remember them by. One being a Zara jacket which is REALLLLYYY nice.

Another would be a scrapbook that Amily, Jen and Su Yen put together. Its really nice. They got each of the people that I work closely with to write a message in it for me. Its so sweet. I was so touched. They put this together in 4 days... and i didnt even suspect anything.

Working here was fun. Maybe sometimes it can be stressful, but most of the time it was quite fun. The people here were all so friendly and nice. They really make it easy to bond with you. I guess I wouldn't really mind coming back to work here.

***

The last week here, everyday we'd go down to our 6F recreation floor where they recently put in a new pool table and a foos table. I taught them how to foos, tho i myself suck at it :p

***

after work on my last day, we stayed back late where they presented me the scrapbook. then we went downstairs to the smokin area outside the office and just lepaked around with Lum. once he left, we went upstair to 6F to pool and foos. then dinner at Sakae Sushi. just cant put it into words, but i had alot of fun. im gonna miss working. hopefully uni will be just as fun :D

NICOLE is LEGAL?

Get ready world, nicole is EIGHTEEEENN now. hahaha she's gonna be even wilder than she already is. =P

MISS U NICOLEE.

HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY!

UPDATE

ok so i havent touched this blog in ages.

I'll finally update la.

So what have I been doing this holiday. I've been working. I have a 8-5 job at ExxonMobil from Mon-Fri. Pay is ok. Everything is good. Been there about a month+ now. I dun wanna leaveeee. I'm actually enjoying work there. In the beginning I didnt like it, i didnt wanna go to work and i felt rlly out of place. that was because as a newbie, there wasnt alot of work for me to do. and the fact tht i couldnt speak malay meant i couldnt answer the phone and talk. yes, I'm in customer service. I handle applications and complaints for this card called the Discount Card which lets lorries, buses, taxis, etc. enjoy diesel subsidy. So yea.. they come here to complain or to apply la. When u cant speak malay, that is the HUGEST disadvantage EVER. But now.. i actually have work to do, I have cases to handle and im making friends with my collegues as well. There are 3 other girls arnd the same age as me that are working there as temps too. but they'll b leavin in jan while im leavin about 2wks into sept. I come in late and i leave early. haih, right when u start to adapt, u have to leave.

-the other temps-

Good news is, Ive been accepted into Westminster. Now i'm waiting for my visa approval and my accommodations approval. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let everything be ok.

So yea.. that the career side of my life.

Love side. Me and Ashwin are dating. (Yes, i'm announcing it to the whole world) Been one month+ now. Things are going great. Love love. <3

-me and ashwin-

Family side.. my brother has started ADP in Sunway. Hope things are well for him. Its only been like the first week.

***

I want to get out with friendsss. I've been out after work sometimes but rarely ppl wanna venture into KL to hangout. So usually I'm out with Lee, Ct, Ashwin gang. Havent seen SR in so longgg. Haven't seen melissa n eliza in so longggg and alot of ppl are gone too.. Nicole and Gunjan are GONE. and i MISS them!!

- nicole n me -

- gj n me -

bad news about having a job and living with ur parents is tht my social life has disintergrated. if i was living by myself with a job, it'd b ok to stay out late into the wee hrs of the night. but with parents i hav to come bak at a "respective" time and my parents dun like me "hanging out" wif friends... and because of uni/visa stuff i have to stay home and "handle" them. hahaha excessive use of the quotation marks.

its a rlly fun yet at the same time stressing experience at work. I have received some prtty weird comments directed to me. lemme just say first tht i am NOT bragging :]

I was talkin to one of my collegues tht works with me and he told me that at first he thot i was about 20yrs old, at most 22. haha do i look old?! he said tht tho i look young, the way i carry myself and speak to ppl and handle things makes me seem older. huh??? Another collegue also thought i was about 20. heh.
On the phone with a customer, I had just told him the solution to his problem and then he starts saying how my voice is so sweet and everything and how its so hard to come across ppl with such a sweet voice. :s trying to quickly end the conversation, i asked him if he had anymore problems, he said tht he wanted to take me out to dinner or something.. nghh i just told him that i couldnt and quickly ended the convo. hahaha
Something else similar, i told the customer that i would get back to him with his problem and he told me that he will be awaiting "my sweet voice." WAT >.>

[if u havent noticed, all these ppl have been guys so far >.< OLD guys]

Other customers have noticed that my chinese isnt malaysian type at all. they said i must not be a malaysian cuz my chinese is too.. "precise." To get away from speaking malay, i sometimes say i m singaporean XD.
One of them also commented that my english sounds american. hahaha.
Oh. the most annoying things is when the customer starts getting really angry and shouting and stuff and then when you get something done for him he's like really apologetic and saying that cuz of his old age he loses his temper easily and stuff like that. haihh.. wat to do.

haha but im having fun. it helps me take my mind of university stuff and it better than staying at home for parents to nag me. i need to get out with friends more tho. miss being a kid.

Eighteen years of age?!

so im eighteen now... havent done anything out of the ordinary yet? where is the hit of LEGALITY? haha

my bday nite.. went to Space on Heritage Row and clubbed there till about 3++am where there was a fight and someone called the cops, so we all had to rush out in a huge mob. outside the club there was another fight.. the guy was shouting at this other guy, i think it was about why he'd called the cops.

we all squished outside and clare suddenly said "omg, where's melissa?" and she didnt pick up her phone or anything.. we went across the street and ben stayed near the entrance to keep a lookout. sian later called me and he was with melissa so everything was ok. we went to the mamak nxt door to just chill for awhile to breathe. we were also freakin out cuz we left a bag inside the club..luckily there wasnt rlly anything valuable inside, and also nothin to connect us to the bag. chilled at the mamak for awhile. eliza and dani went back first to the apartment me booked. later after chillin out for awhile, the rest of us took a cab back to our rooms. clare to le meridian with edwin. me and melissa to the apartment with ashwin, lee and sian.

haha so im skippin alot of the details. such as the feelings, the blanks, and the extras. but i'll keep that little things in my memory box, not written down for the public to see ;) only the ppl that were there noe wat really happened. keke.

but it was an awesome night. my second time clubbing EVER. and my first time experiencing a raid (kinda, sorta, not rlly) haha. tho that wouldnt rlly b something to boast about. but i do wish i had taken photos.

other regrets about the nite? well yea.. i wish we hadnt done brought that and we did that better and i did something and i didnt do something. haha. but its all done and over with, rite? if i could turn back time, mayb i'd hav done a few things a bit more daringly but who am i to say i would? haha it sucks that i cant write anything down like this.

fell asleep at 5am. ashwin and lee left at around 4ish. tom and sian left some time in the early dawn as well.. so it was just us 4 girls alone in a 3bdroom aptment. dad picked me up at about 12ish.. and i went home and collapsed asleep.

[mom, dad, me]
when i went upstairs, my bro was watchin tv. i got wished happy birthday. :D i was a bit concerned tht i'd done something wrong cuz the whole car ride when my dad was sendin me home, he didnt say anything or ask about anything... both my parents didnt even wish me happy birthday until dinner time when i asked "why dont we get cake?" and my mom went "why? for wat occasion?" *stab* then my dad came down and was like "why don't we just go eat next door?" *double stab* i had to say something.. i thot mayb they were jokin or something.. "don't i get to choose where to eat for my birthday?" "ohhhhhh. haha its your birthday today. thats wat you get for not coming home. haha. happy birthday, dear." so mayb thts more of a *half stab* so in the end my mom didnt really ever wish me happy birthday. i mean.. its no big deal..theyre my parents, they live with me everyday of my life. it kinda goes without saying.. no?

so anyways, we went to Dragon-I to eat then had Häagen-Dazs ice cream cake. i gues it was their own way of sayin sorry. we had no candles in the hse tho. its ok.. i can compromise :)

***

graduation dinner was before clubbing. that was fun. it was at le meridian. gorgeous setting. everyone was dressed up really nice too. Ke Ni got her dress all the way from Raymond. how fucking sweet is that!! and the dress is gorgeous on her. if the pics a bit blurry, she's the one on the bottom row in the beautiful long red dress next to ji eun. so hot. wow. girls missing from the pic below are lakshmi ( sick) and ran (AWOL).

saturday nite, as a whole family celebration thing, we went to Lemon Garden in Shangri-La for an all you can eat buffet. sooo goooddd. sooo fulll. there was a huge chocolate fountain and their ice cream had so many toppings. other than desserts, the food was good too.. HUGEE oysters. yummy prawn and sushi. the pasta was good too. they had everything from chinese to indian to japanese and to western cuisine. just delish. by the time i was finished with desserts, i was so sick of chocolate. haha. luckily they had calamansi flavored ice cream which was sooo sour, it was good. hehe.

the chocolate fountain

sigh. such good food. about RM98 per person. :O!!
its ok. i forgive them now ;)

last fri had a BBQ/Pool party at Vista Kiara which was really fun. So funny watching the guys play twister. they werent spinning the board, but instead just deciding by themselves which is the hardest position to put the players in next. haha. the put perry and dana into the WEIRDEST positions. haha. poor boys :P (surely they secretly enjoyed it. keke)

...so wrong...

on saturday i went thru a whole revamping and changed my "image" haha. won't give away any hints. hehe. you all shall see when u meet me. :P

comments i've recieved so far:
* dana and clare: you don't look like ellie anymore
* gunjan: it doesnt reflect your inner you. you're more spice than sugar and thats not what your image is showing

haha. suspenseeee. i also got my dress and shoes for the grad dinner. :D

*-*-*

its so weird.. school's over.. and yet ive been goin to school for the past 2 days at normal morning times =.=""

monday met up wif melissa and eliza just to hang out.. and then "after school" we went to the sunrise courts to play some volleyball.

tuesday morning trained a bit with clare, joyce, melissa and eliza.. then we met up at school with the other team players at 2:45 then went off to the austrailian int. schoool where we played some friendly matches. best out of three. the guys won 1/3 matches, the girls won 2/2. then we played 2 sets of mixed teams. we won both of those :D so overall.... well. GIS WON~~!!
there might be another match soon against them.. so that will b cool. hopefully we can go :D

wednesday (today).. i was suppose to clean my room (didn't, of course) and then wait for the maid to come... my dad wants me to still keep my notes. he wont let me throw them away or recycle them until im accepted into UK... what am i gonna do with my notes even if i dont get accepted =.="" the fucking annoying thing is that my notes are in no particular order.. he wants me to organize them!! i DONT WANN~! =.= my brother isnt even takin the same subs i am in A'levels.. so its not like he can use them...

thursday morning i have to go to the dentist and then straight after, i'll be meeting up with melissa, eliza, ro and sian. i hope the dentist appt goes by fast :(. then i gotta rush back home at 2ish to watch the maid clean the hse and shit again =.="" its so rushed.. wat the fucking point is it for a maid to come 2 days in a row.. she wont have anything to do!!! >.<" stupid mentally. gez.

friday is the grad dinner nite. the plan timing isnt confirmed yet.. but i'll be going to eliza's house with my sleeping clothes and stuff then her dad is going to drive us to the apt we'll b staying at and help us check in and everything. where i will drop off my stuff... then depending on the time.. i'm going to try and buy my contacts on that day as well.. since i dont have time on thurs... i shoulda snuck out and got them today :(. friday night, after the dinner, i'll b going to heritage as a little present to myself :D i still cant believe my parents actually allowed me to stay over this nite hehehe. happy happy

$$$ CASHHH $$$

got the hint? :P hahaha
busy busy week. hopefully everything goes smoothly.

Gay Marriages

got this off son's blog. read it first before judging.

Controversial Issues:
1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, liposuction and air conditioning.
2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.
7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.
9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.
10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans...

Re-post this if you believe in legalizing gay marriage.
