short update

so what hav i been up to lately?

enjoying every single moment i have left in dear old newcastle.
cherishing every single second i have left in this lovely weather called autumn.
yeah, if u still havn't figured it out by now... *FROM THE HEADER* ... it's AUTUMN in newcastle now.

so, let's see...

... at the end of last month, had a lil' short trip to dublin, ireland with jian, ren & ele. t'was fun and everything... but there's just too many photos and i'm too lazy to blog so much about it so i shall just link to dearrie's page...

SO CLICK HERE TO SEE OUR ADVENTURES IN THE LAND OF THE LEPRECHAUN

...though... i might just get into the mood to blog and more pictures will come up cos i don't quite like some of the pics that jian had put up on HIS PAGE. *grins*

...then on the 5th of this month, had a short one day trip up to the northern-most town of england, berwick-upon-tweed. again there were photos taken and again i'm too lazy to post them up. so there. wait til i'm in the mood. :P

...on the 8th, esther came down from dublin for a short trip of newcastle and i had fun taking her around the place. can u believe that i onli met esther when i went on a holiday tour of china with my parents? and that our parents are now friends??? *lol* photos will come soon enuff... when i hav the mood.

other than that... been visiting parts of newcastle, enjoying my life here... savouring all the great english food that i will miss when i leave... Mmmmm... hot chocolate with mashmallows, fish & chips, pizza hut buffet......mmm... *grins*
shopping...

and also the dreaded packing. i hate packing. especially when it seems that i still need this and that and when i onli have 20kg to bring on board. so that just means i have to ship the rest of my stuff back and it'll take like what... TWO MONTHS before i get them?! how do i decide on what i need and what i don't need? my CLOTHES!!! eeeaargh. so, when u see me in m'sia repeatingly wearing something over and over again, pardon me k? it's not like i want to... i don't have a choice!!!

anyways, i better get back to packing. gonna be visiting birmingham tomoro...

SEVEN AM TRAIN!!! aaack!

a FLOPPY DOG

a TY WHITE TIGER



all except stitch was last seen in a black bin bag. and they smell like me. anyone who knows of their whereabouts kindly please contact me asap. especially if u know where boyboy, stitch and paddy are. rewards are negotiable.

no laughing matter. they have all seriously gone lost. and they mean the world to me.
*prays they find their way back to me*

it's tough, extremely tough, to say goodbye to those u hold precious to ur heart. knowing full well u will never see them again. knowing that there will be others, but these others will never ever take their place.

it may be silly and childish to be crying over lost toys especially when there are others who have lost much more. but they mean more to me than just toys... especially boyboy and stitch. and i do anything just to have them back on my bed again.


comforter of my fears and keeper of my secrets

i want my boyboy back..................

another story... part 2

day 2 : saturday... the real day

t'was a wet and cold night. the weather decides to be funny and drizzles. they open an umbrella and the drizzle stops. they close the umbrella and it starts up again. after getting off the bus, they walk towards their destination.

her legs were already numbed by the cold by the time they stepped into the restaurant. a blast of warm air greeted them along with the deliriously intoxicating smell of delicious spanish food teasing their nostrils. the chitter chatter of other patrons and the clinging clanging of cutlery surrounds them. the lights were dimmed and on every table was a lit candle making the atmosphere in the restaurant a romantic one.

the spanish maitre d greets them and he requests for a table for two. after checking, they were asked if it was alright if they waited for a couple of minutes as there were no tables available yet. she was alright with waiting and they were led further into the restaurant towards the bar. standing around the bar, they decided to get a glass of sangria each.

after waiting at the bar for some time, the maitre d comes along and leads them towards their table in a cosy little corner. they sit and reads the menu. everything was reasonably priced and they choose 3 tapas and a paella. making an order with one of the waiters, they noticed that almost all the people working at the restaurant was spanish.

the food arrives and they were not disappointed. the bread was delicious when dipped into garlic mayonnaise. the same applies to the calamari rings. the sausages thingy that they ordered reminded them of the chinese pork sausage 'lap cheong' which they both disliked. but surprisingly, the sausages thingy wasn't as bad as the 'lap cheong'. 15 minutes later the paella was served and it was a HUGE portion. there was no skimping on the seafood. the prawns and mussels were aplenty and big.

by the time they were done with the food, they were close to bursting. but they were also craving dessert so they decide to take a slow stroll to their next destination before having dessert. after paying the bill, they slowly stepped out of the cosy atmosphere of the spanish restaurant expecting the air outside to be icy cold. but they were wrong. or maybe the sangria was taking effect and that was why they felt rather warm.

by the time they got to their next destination, they were both thirsty. sitting down in the restaurant, he orders a planter's punch and she a refillable diet pepsi. then they slowly read the menu to decide which dessert to order. by the time their drinks arrived, they were ready to order and they both chose to share a tropical fruit yoghurt.

it was about 11pm by the time they went home. and unbeknownst to her, he had yet another surprise up his sleeve for her. hidden deep in his wardrobe was her birthday present. she hadn't been expecting anything from him as he had already planned and threw her a surprise, and had earlier on taken her out for a wonderful dinner with yummylicious dessert.

thanks so muchy dear moo!!! i loved the dinner... just me & you. and i love toby and me parker 17 jersey!!! thank u thank u thank u!!! *kisses* and *hugs*

another story... part 1

she talks about shipping things back home sometime soon. and he asks if she wants a box, to which she positively responds. he suggests on carrying the box back to her house later... after going for a movie. she questions the logic of it as it means carrying a huge empty box all the way to town and into the cinema. and he says to drop the box off at aunties' place while they watch the movie and then after that collect it. she remembers that aunties are working at night and won't be home... he calls them anyways and arranges the whole thing.

they rush out of the house. movie starts in 20minutes and they are late. they walk extremely fast while he tells her to go on to co-op to get the popcorn and water and to meet him at the cinema while he goes to drop off the box. she says alrights and they go on their separate ways.

he calls. tells her to buy the movie ticket first becos he's on his way to the cinema but the movie was about to start in 5 minutes' time. she buys the tickets and he arrives. they enter the cinema for green street.

the movie ends and he calls aunty e to collect the box as they were heading back to her home. aunty e was at home and so they walked over. she rings aunty e's intercom and aunty e opens the downstairs door for them. they take the lift up to aunty e's flat and knocks on the door. aunty e takes quite some time to open the door and when she did, the flat was in darkness and aunty e says that she has just returned from a neighbour's place.

they enter the flat and removes their shoes. aunty e mentions that the box is in the living room and she asks to turn on the lights. she turns around to flip the light switch and then enters the living room...

"happy birthday to you..."

10 things that irritated me lately

no. 10
long legged mosquitos in my room! they enjoy entering thru the windows and flying about not leaving at all... even when i catch them by the wings and while screaming throws them outta the window... they fly right back in again!

no. 9
how rude some people can be sometimes... and especially once they see that u are not a local...

"hello! are u alright?" (smiling sweetly)
(looks at greeter and noticing that it's a chinese girl...)
"..."

"hello! can i help u?" (smiling sweetly)
(looks up & walks away) OR (looks up & ignores)

for goodness sake! all i did was greet u asking if u're alright! the least u could do would be to give a reply like "hello" or "i'm alright thanks"! how rude can u be?! don't u hav any manners at all!?!?

no. 8
idiot landlord opened my room door for workmen while i was not in WITHOUT INFORMING ME IN ADVANCE! even worse, they cut a hole in the wall and left my room all messy and dusty! called the idiot when i came home and his idiotic explanation was that it was an emergency cos the ceiling downstairs was leaking badly so he didn't need to inform me in advance and that the workmen would be returning tomoro to fix the hole in the wall and he will then clean my room up. when i told him that i would not be free tomoro, he said to leave my damn door OPEN!!!

had jian come over to watch my room while i work and surprise surprise! NOBODY CAME TO FIX THE STOOPID HOLE!

thanks dear... and i'm still sorry for being mendoksey. if i didn't ask u to stay, ur hse wldn't be broken into... xxx.

note : i still see the hole in the wall as i type this... GRR!!!

no. 7
idiot landlord had the cheek to call me to ask for me when i want to pay him my rent for next month when he STILL CLEARLY HASN'T FIXED THE HOLE IN THE WALL! and immediately came over ON TIME to collect the money. kept eye-ing the money (i pay by cash) when i decided NOT TO PAY HIM YET and ask him WHEN HE WILL FIX THE DARN WALL!

"tomoro i'll call the repairmen and ask them when they will be coming" (still eye-ing the wad of cash in my hands)
"and then will u CALL ME and LET ME KNOW IN ADVANCE WHEN?"
"i'll call u when they need to enter ur room to fix the wall" (STILL LOOKING AT CASH)
"NOT WHEN THEY NEED TO ENTER... call me ONCE YOU KNOW WHEN!"
"alrights alrights...."
"ONCE YOU KNOW WHEN THEY WILL COME!"
"ok"
"fine... (hands cash over and wait for receipt) ... REMEMBER, ONCE YOU KNOW WHEN"
"yes" (smiling happily at wad of cash in hands)

ARRRGH!!!

no. 6
stoopid boss reduced basic pay from £30 to a bloody £18, YES! EIGHTEEN POUNDS!!! but raised commission from 7% to 10% AND FORGOT TO TELL ME ABOUT IT MAKING ME WORK A MONTH FOR LESS THAN WHAT I THOUGHT I WAS EARNING!

note : cannot complain to any enforcement agency cos this job don't have to pay up taxes...

no. 5
idiot landlord (hmm, he seems to be irritating me a lot this month) has rented out 2 rooms to TWO CHINESE GUYS!

ok... the guy upstairs is really nice and all... he pass the housemate test a bit...

BUT the guy I HAVE TO SHARE THE SAME FLOOR AND THE TOILET WITH.... AAAARRGGHH!!!

he has a gf who stays here ILLEGALLY... THEY DIRTY THE TOILET EVERYTIME I CLEAN & BLEACH IT... THEY HOG QUITE A LOT OF SPACE IN THE KITCHEN... the gf leaves her hair stuck in the bath tub... they put their shoe rack just outside their room... HELLO! THIS IS THE FIRST FLOOR!!! WHO PUTS SHOES ON THE FIRST FLOOR!!?? now i have to smell their shoes everytime i want to return to my room... HE SMOKES IN HIS ROOM!!! and the smoke floats and finds it way into my room... he is ONE WEIRDO... i'm rather afraid that he's a closet pervert... they open all windows in the house and then goes out leaving the windows open... are they not afraid of a break-in?!

note : and that is why i don't want to leave my room door open the whole day...

no. 4
being 'attacked' all at once suddenly one night when i went down to the kitchen to cook my dinner by the chinese people. weird housemate having steamboat party and had a bunch of frens over and decided to be bold and start asking what things in the kitchen are mine and what can be thrown and why there's not enuff space in the kitchen.

ok, doesn't sound very over when i typed it out but try imagine tt u're A GIRL in the kitchen FULL OF CHINESE PEOPLE stuck right in the middle of them all and they keep asking u questions and oh, did i mention that u're STARVING cos they were hogging the kitchen for the past 3 hours already? and it's already 10pm and u just want to have ur dinner?

no. 3
phone operators.

there's the operator in mas manchester office. she put me on hold for a good half hour before i realised that it's 5.30pm and she must have just tell me to hold while she packed up and left for home. GRR...

and o2... left me on hold for ages just to ask her manager on something really simple... MY FREE MINUTES FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE!!! GRR!!!

no. 2
received a letter from a debt collection company lately on behalf of o2 for a sum of £498.01. YES! FOUR FREAKING HUNDRED AND NINETY EIGHT POUNDS AND A PENNY!!! and for what? for a line i opened up in my name on @!# behalf way back in march (i think) which i never used. and guess what? @!# went back to msia lately but failed to pay the bills...

for june : £166.55
for july : £192.10
disconnection fee : £139.36

omg. and i hav only 7 days to contact the damn company to pay up or face court action...

actions taken : call @!#. call debt collector for extension to investigate the matter... got a further 7 days. call debt collector to extend further pending transfer of money from msia. had to pay £10 as goodwill. got a further 5 days. finally paid up everything.

no. 1
calling @!#.

once i got that letter... had to look almost everywhere for @!#'s contact number in msia. took almost 3 days before finding the right number... called and called and called... no answer... then FINALLY @!# answers!!! was frenly... until heard about the debt... claimed to have PAID THE MONEY before leaving uk but CANNOT REMEMBER THE EXACT AMOUNT OR WHAT BANK! claims to cannot find the receipt but will look for it and then call me back next day.

no call back next day... or the next. in fact, DOES NOT EVEN ANSWER ANY OF MY CALLS... as the 7th day looms closer, began calling @!# 3 times every half hour until phone runs out of battery while at work. but before that.... there was this one time... MIRACLE! FINALLY SOMEONE ANSWERS THE PHONE... says "hello?" hears my voice, and BLOODY HANGS UP! calls back thinking mebbe phone outta batt or outta coverage............ phone rings until it disconnects!

did my research discovers @!#'s mum's phone number and dials that number midnight uk time, 7am msian time. dad answers and passes the phone to @!#... asks dad who it is... reply... PHONE HANGS UP! calls back can't get thru... calls @!#'s number and @!# FINALLY ANSWERS... sounding all sick and tired. excuse given for not answering phone calls for past few days... "was in singapore". BULL.....

"cannot find receipt larr... how?"

thank god for jian who finally talks to @!# cos he cannot stand the way i'm handling it... and @!# "dad going overseas today"... "aunty gone on holiday". gee, how convenient.
finally agrees to pay...

calls back next day... "hello?"
in background... dad's voice "who is it?"

wow... dad gone overseas but can still hear his voice. amazing.

finally remits £458.00. dammit... i STILL HAVE TO PAY £40!
question : if u hav paid, why would u do a double payment?! u would be more worried as to why o2 claims u havn't paid!!!

until now still havn't forwarded a copy of the tt receipt...
STILL DOES NOT ANSWER CALLS... i want to claim my £40 and more for having to terminate the contract. hmm, i think i should claim for the amount of money i spent calling @!# and o2 and the dect collector too!

ANSWER THE DAMN PHONE!

will be calling @!# mum soon...

psst : u guys in msia... i might need to recruit some debt collectors to do the debt collecting for me. dinghy... amazing how what we were talking about some time ago actually came true.

note : i've thought about it over & over and the more i think about it the madder i am. some people would think that as @!#'s fren, we should not be talking bad about @!# behind @!#'s back BUT consider this... did @!# ever considered US as FRIENDS in the first place and not put us into all this trouble. even NOW, contacting @!# is almost impossible. protecting @!# who didn't even think about US at all is useless now. in fact, protecting OTHERS from @!# would be a more sensible thing to do. so this is it. the story as it is. feel free to disagree and disapprove BUT things have gone this far and my patience and kindness has been stretched wayyy beyond my limit.

lobak gou... thanks so much for being angry for me. thanks for helping out. thanks for supporting me. xxx, pau.

and there u hav it, the top 10 things that have been irritating me lately...
