Is Homeless- NOT!

I finally have a place to stay next year.

You are an ANGEL, Nas. Srsly :D Nas’s cousin has kindly allowed us to rent a 2bdroom flat next year for just the same amount as I’m paying here, just without the bills. AND the place is practically perfect. Okay, so I haven’t seen it yet.. but Nas said there is a supermarket, laundromat, post office, bank and even tube station rEALLY nearby. AND the rooms are bigger than the ones I’m staying in now.. AND we get our own lounge. WHEE~ I’m so glad I’m going to be out of these halls next year… AND i’ll be with someone that I am totally comfortable with. ^^ I’m tres excited. :D

I was so worried that i’d hav no where to stay next year and those stupid ppl i emailed about seeing hses nvr replied me either, so its so awesome that i dont hav to go thru the hassle of looking for a place by myself and probably almost getting killed/raped in the process. also, halls only reply if u hav a place like in August which is quite useless if u ask me. cuz it practically gives you NO time to look for somewhere else to stay.

AHH.. you have no idea how much i love Nas rite now :D AND her parents might put her cat with us which will be UBER double awesome. hehe.

Gonna view the place probably sometime next week. Cross fingers, hope everything works out well.

Extended Weekend

Melissa came for a sleep over on Saturday. It was really fun. We met for a picnic at Hyde Park first with the GISians, then later went Covent Garden to look for gifts for Alex and Cheen since they were holding a dinner the next day.

We got them this squishy ball thing where when you squeeze them, they change colour and become swollen and disgusting looking. It was so cool!!

That night I intro-d her to Sims 2 and we created a JR Sim and made him go on holiday and live with us and stuff. hahaha. It was hilarious how close we got the sim to look like him :D Didn’t get a pic, but those of you who know who JR is, just imagine him like a sim except slimmer and with brown hair. hehe.

The next day we went shopping and I bought this nice dress for only £5. Damn nice :D and it worked really well with my £1 necklace, Melissa’s earrings and her belt. hehe. You can’t really see the dress though, but what it actually is is that there are four holes on each side of the sleeves and the dress goes to about above knee and its nice, light and cottony.

While waiting for melissa to get ready, I cam-whored in her room. Hehehe. She’s got this nice long mirror which I want!!

Once I move wherever next year, I don’t care, I am for sure getting one. Hehe.

I also bought these super cool earrings, but haven’t got the chance to wear them yet, I didn’t want to over dress for the dinner, so lucky I only dressed like this. But then the weather got facking windy the next two days and I didn’t have any clothes to change into… because, i stayed at Angel for the next two days. I shall explain why soon. hehe.

We went to Mayflower for Cheen’s/Alex’s dinner. The cake was huge and cream filled. over whelmingly creamy. Haha.

This be Cheen and her cake. The dinner was actually suppose to be just Cheen’s bday but Tian told me it was for both people, so me and Melissa went and bought two presents. Anywho, The cake was sooooooooooooooo creamy!!

Other than the fact that the cake was VERY gelak. I think it was a really good cake. And 10 of us managed to finish that HUGE thing, without any cake remaining. Amazing, no?

But the sponge cake on the inside was quite good. Me and Melissa shared one piece. Wanna watch it disappear? hehe.

 

 

 

 

Meet Melissa and watch how the big cake will soon disappear :D

 

  

After dinner, we went to the arcade to play pool, Bishi Bashi, racing and table hockey. Cheen also tried this “torture chair.” We thought it would be actually electricity shocks, but she said it was just vibrations. I was too scared to go and try myself. hehe.

 

That night, we went back to the Angel flat and cleared the floor in Cheen and Sam’s room and created our own mini disco while drinking the night away. We created our own mini Club Atmosphere with the whole shuffling music and the like. We all got tipsy drunk and went to sleep at around 2am.

So that was night one over. When we woke up the next day it was Monday. Monday is Bank holiday so we stayed in and played mahjong then later went outside to play basketball. LJ and Melissa versus Me and Chris. We lost… only because I suck at bball and Melissa is a netball player and LJ is a bball player. Hehe. Chris is good, but i suck… So perhaps the teams weren’t so fair.

 
Wanna play ball?

Haha. I love Melissa and her expressions :D

That night after basketball and dinner (which was PizzaHut). We decided to watch a horror movie… and then another… and then another. We watched 3 horror movies in a row. The first one had the most KICK. And cause Chris was sitting inbetween me and Melissa, whenever we got scared and jumped, he’d jump too. Especially when we both scream, he has surround sound. hahaha.

We slept at 4am that night. I woke up at 12:55pm realizing I had a meeting I needed to attend in 5 minutes all the way in Harrow and there was no facking way I could make it back all the way to Zone 4 in time. Melissa and LJ had already gone off to class, so when I awoke and started freaking out, it was only me and Chris left in the room. With no other choice I lazed around the room playing poker on Chris’s phone and bluetoothing his music to my phone. Hehe.. slackers association. Wanna join? :P

Left Angel at 6:30pm. Had dinner with Tian Han and his parents. And now I am back in Harrow… ALL ALONE… which i do not want to be… I’ve been around people for too long, don’t take that away from me…

Fresher No More

So my first year of uni is finally over. I am no longer a "fresher" haha.

NOW i just need to finish my 2 logs for next week...
OH and i need to find a place for me next year to stay if I can't stay in halls again...
AND i have this conference I'm working at over May 1 - 21st...

Okay, so I'm not as free as I had hoped. But ah well.. at least for the conference I’m working at, I’m getting paid… And most people are having exams anyways, so they wouldn’t be free to teman me for anything anyways.

I’ve recently got addicted to Sims 2. I’ve downloaded ALOT of the expansion packs…

And with the expansion packs, I have been playing for hours on end and sleeping at 3-4am almost every night. I got my boyfriend addicted to it as well and I’m now in the process of installing all the expansion packs onto his laptop. :D He’s been really addicted to it as well and that’s even before the expansions. But the problem with the one I have is that I can’t build anything, and that drove him insane. Luckily after installing these expansion packs, he’ll be able to put his creative architectural skills to use and build his house.

Sims 3 is coming out on June 9th. I WANT :D Can’t wait for it to come out. Also Last Day of Work has launched a new game called Virtual Families. Its a bit like Sims but not as good graphics and it runs in real time. I tried the trial for about an hour and it was really fun. It costs about USD14 and since the dollar and sterling are almost dollar to dollar its BLOODY expensive :(

**

So apparently my bf installed Microsoft Office 2007 trial period when he borrowed my laptop and went to work. And then the trial period ended today… And I didn’t know. I tried print screening but it didn’t work. I thought maybe the button on my laptop had malfunctioned… So i went and downloaded another software JUST so I could print screen.. AND NOW I discover that it wasn’t my poor innocent laptop’s fault but it was Microsoft Office Picture Manager itself! So i had to uninstall the whole Office 2007 and reinstall the WHOLE Office 2003.

HAIHHHHHHH…. Now that that’s done. I’m going to restart my computer. :)

Amsterdam :: 11 – 16 April

Day 1 – 11.04.2009 A missed flight

We arrived at the airport 1hr before our flight. Got through fast check in then had a bite to eat and went to security check thinking we had all the time in the world. Just as we passed through security, our gate closed and we didn’t know which gate we were suppose to be at. We ran all the way to the closest gate we could get to and asked someone where our gate was and if we could still get on it. They said we couldn’t as the doors had closed and the flight was about to take off. They said we had to rebook for the next day since there were no more available flights.

what the fuck. i have never missed a flight in my life. i cant believe my first group trip and i missed my flight. we managed to transfer to another airport which had an 8am flight but it cost us an extra £38. So added on to my £88 flight ticket and the train rides back and forth from the airport, this is one bloody expensive budget flight I’m taking.

So after that with nothing to do, we headed back to Angel. Dropped off our stuff then me, Tian, LJ and Chris went to Chinatown for a drink and some pool while Chris fished for players on his racing game. After that had dinner at Young Cheng and while LJ and Chris decided to go back for more racing, I left with Tian back to Angel for some sleep. We would need to wake up at 4am the next day to make it to the airport in time so we wouldnt miss this flight as well.

 

Day 2 – 12.04.2009 Zaanse Schans

After arriving we took a train to the church to meet Sam parents whom were going to be hosting us for the next couple of days. After meeting them we went and sat the Easter church hearing.

After the church hearing we walked around Amsterdam and Sam’s parents treated us all to a lunch. We were originally going to go to a Chinese restaurant for dim sum but the place was full. Instead we headed to this expensive shopping place to eat.

  

After the hefty meal we took the role of tourists and went to Zaanse Schans. I call it The Windmill Place. We took a ferry there and enjoyed the view.

 

After the long and tiring walks, we headed back to Amsterdam for dinner at Humphrey’s Restaurant. For a 3 course meal it was €22. I had escargot, gambo prawn pasta and ice cream. :) Tian had carpaccio, entrecote and chocolate fondant. MMmmmmm…

 

 

 

To end off the day we had Sam’s friend’s boyfriend recommend us a good place and we got a joint of skunk and smoked it in red light district.

 

Day 3 – 13.04.2009 Tulip Farm

Took a train then a bus to the Tulip Farm. The farm was gorgeous. All the different flowers were so perfect it was unreal. If you wanna see more flowers, check out my facebook album and this too..

 

The tulip farm was huge and all our feet were quite sore from all the walking once that was over.

For dinner we had a huge meal made by Sam’s parents’ restaurant the Golden Valley.

Day 4 – 14.04.2009 Amsterdam

It was a free day and we took this day to explore the city with Sam’s friends, Mai and Anita.

We visited the Sex Museum.

 

 

We had fries and mayonnaise.

 

Wanted to go Heineken brewery but it was closed so instead we went to Bar Ca so the girls could have something to eat.

 

After that, we went to eat dinner and then went out to enjoy more of the Amsterdam night life.

 

 

Day 5 – 15.04.2009 Beach

We went to a beach near Schagen (Sam’s place) to enjoy the sun and to cycle for a bit. It was really fun but the water at the beach was freaking numbingly cold.

 

 

For dinner we had all you can eat sushi and then went back to Schagen so Sam could spend more time with his parents for the last night. We needed to finish the rest of the joints and the muffin, so we went outside to sit as we ate the muffin. Later Sam’s friend helped us get out for a breath of fresh air as we finished the last 2 sticks of pot.

The muffin had NO kick. Maybe its cuz we were sharing it, maybe we were conned. Whatever the reason, it was a disappointment. The two sticks had a nice kick to it tho. The gold/silverish top was pure pot and the green top was skunk which is a mix of tobacco and pot. The pure one obviously had more kick.

Day 6 – 16.04.2009 Last Day

We thought our flight was at 6.30 but it was actually at 9.30 so in the end we had a whole day to spend instead of an expected half. We ended up just roaming around Schagen and then going back to the restaurant where Tian read his book, Chris and I wasted time, LJ slept and Sam and Cheen went out with the parents.

And that was it. The end of my really fun journey. Our flight got delayed for about an hour so I arrived back in Harrow at 00:30 London time and fell straight to sleep.

From there we walked to Victoria and then took a bus to Oxford Circus. Had Assa at Tottenham Court Road with Joyce and Tian.

Had sponge cake pudding for dessert all while enjoying Bolt. Shoulda took pictures :( pity… I will next time :D kekek the NEXT time we make her cook :D

Then about 3, she went off to Liverpool St Station to go back to Essex. and she has. now.

Time for a New Layout... Soon

Right.... Too many people have complained the font on this page is too small and I have realized that the column width is too narrow as well making it hard for my pictures to be big and high reso-ish...

SO! I am on a search for a new layout. I'll change the current one soon. :)
