Cold, cold, cold...

Winter seems to be really coming... I feel like freezing all the time... No more short pants to UWE... No more short pants at home... No more less clothes... It's all about thick clothes!!! Thick winter jackets... More layer of shirts... If possible, I would like to cover my face too... Can't even breathe properly with your nose... Road being slippery all the time... Hands have to be hidden... Omg... I guess winter is the most suffering season of all...

Yesterday morning on my way to UWE, all the cars were covered with ice... Can't believe it... The previous night it was raining and I guess the temperature was too low, that's the reason why all the water turns into ice and as a result the roads and cars are covered with ice... It's not snow... Too bad...

This morning, I decided to wear the thick jacket which I bought from Malaysia... It's meant for winter... It's a 2 layer jackets and I only wore one of it... All the way from my house to UWE, I hid my hand in the pocket... And guess what... When I reached UWE, my hand actually sweat... Hahaha... I didn't know that this jacket is so warm... Hahaha... I am going to wear it more often now...

Yesterday I went to city centre again... In the last few post, I mentioned that I am not going to the city centre for 2-3 weeks... BUT I went yesterday... Hehehe... And of course I ended up buying something... End of story... No need further elaboration because I am found guilty of breaking my own promise... Sweat... :S I PLEAD GUILTY!!!

Oh ya... Busy weeks are coming... Need to get started with my assignments... No time to daydream and have fun anymore... God bless me... Don't worry... I will have time to blog... Hehe...

Take care and miss ya... Muackssss...

Parcel oh parcel... :D

Hahaha... Today I got my second PARCEL from Malaysia... Happy happy... This time the parcel consists mostly of food and clothes... I really can't imagine the amount of food my mum sent me... From my asam paste, tomyam paste, curry powder, chilli sauce, fried onion, garlic, ginger, anchovies, yee mee, mee hoon, pickled vegetables, white pepper to chrysanthemun tea and herbal tea... Wahaha... Mummy is preparing for my winter... All I have to do is to stock up more canned food... That's it... So sweet of her... She sent me the cream that I asked for... The medicine that I didn't ask for... Hahaha... I am just too satisfied... Then there is this another 20kg which will be on its way quite soon... One more parcel before Chinese New Year... That will be my cookies... I can't wait... There's another surprise parcel that I am expecting from my "Xiao Qi Gui"... Wonder when he will send it... And what's the content... That's the most important part... Hehe...

These few days the weather is pretty bad... The temperature dropped tremendously... It won't exceed 10 degree C within these few days and it will drop to below 0 degree C during night sometimes... Is that the symptom of winter??? It's a bit scary... Just like now... It's raining and I do hear thunder??? Gosh... I am freezing cold now... :S

Take care everyone and miss ya lots... Muacksss...

Two thumbs up!!!

Someone from Malaysia actually told me he had nasi lemak the other day... As a result, I have been craving for nasi lemak since last week... Been thinking day and night about nasi lemak... Can't imagine I am such a glutton, right??? Haha... I actually plan to try cooking nasi lemak next week... BUT, I simply can't wait till next week... Tried to cook my own version of nasi lemak with the limited ingredients I have, which are nasi + lemak... Hahaha... It turned out to be not that bad considering first attempt... At least it has the taste... Quite proud of it but I am sure I can improve on it better... Nasi lemak and chicken curry were my dinner, by the way...

Speaking of lunch, I am even prouder now... Guess what... I had MEE HOON KUEH in Bristol... Omg... Simply too satisfying... In fact, it's one of my favourite food back in Malaysia... Miss it a lot too... Just that I always thought it's not easy to make the dough... But it turns out to be quite easy... First attempt, edible and almost perfect... I am having more and more dishes in Shi Hui's Menu now...

However, I am going to spend lesser time in kitchen... My housemate actually advise me not to eat fresh... Since I am cooking for a meal, why don't cook more and put in the fridge... Just put in microwave if you feel like having it... I can save a lot of time although the food won't be that fresh... Going to try it out next week... See how it goes...

Anyway, I am just too satisfied with my so-called achievement... Last time, back in Muar, whenever I feel like eating anything, I'll just tell my mummy and she'll plan when to cook for me... Now, I have to overcome my food craving by thinking of how to prepare the food myself... Haha...

Good night everyone... Tk care and miss ya... Muacksss... :)

Tomboyism????

Published: Thursday October 23, 2008 MYT 7:51:00 PM

National Fatwa Council forbids tomboyism

KOTA BARU: The National Fatwa Council has ruled that tomboyism, where a girl behaves or dresses in a boyish manner, is forbidden in Islam.

Its chairman Datuk Dr Abdul Shukor Husin said the decision was prompted by recent developments as there had been cases of young women inclined to behave like men and indulging in homosexuality.

“Parents must guide their children from indulging in disruptive activities that are against Islamic teachings,” he told reporters at the close of a two-day meeting of council here on Thursday.
The meeting was held to discuss social ills confronting Muslims, including the issue of tomboyism. -- Bernama

I stumbled upon this news as I was reading thestaronline... How come they always come up with weird rules??? A girl is forbidden to behave or dress in a boyish manner... I wonder how they define that statement...

For me, they are just being too free... Sigh... I am glad... Very very glad... You guys should know why... Hahaha... Take care and miss ya evryone... Muacksss...

Shi Hui~

Arghhh...

Sigh... I guess in no time my size will really double or maybe triple by the time when I am going back to Malaysia... I keep feeling hungry lately... Whenever I am in front of the laptop, I have the urge of grabbing something to eat... Or I simply place too much food in my room and table... I just simply cannot concentrate...

But it has become a habit to have something to eat when I am doing some research... Yup... I am finding some article but my mind keep thinking of the chocolate on the shelf and the cake in the fridge... This is really sinful... The devil in me is acting up again... Darn you...

I must control again... Concentrate on my articles or else I am going to regret tonight... Wish me luck... Take care and miss ya... Muacksss...

Shi Hui~

I hate the devil in me... :(

Gosh... For the past one month, I have been controlling well when it comes to my favourite hobby, shopping... I was so delighted because I thought I can resist the temptation...

BUT I am absolutely wrong... I am spending like nobody's business especially yesterday... No doubt I do feel gulity... But like what Sprina said, those stuff that I bought are necessities... Bag, handphone, shoes, clothes and perfume... Hmmm... True... But I still need to cut down my expenses especially in shopping... Sigh...

I am not going to city centre for the next 2-3 weeks... I promise... Even if I go, I am not supposed to buy any stuff... Speaking of which, I have the thought of going to Cribbs Causeway... I have one more thing to buy... Hahaha... Go away, the devil in me... Stop enticing me... I must learn not to be led by the devil in me...

I must substitute shopping with cooking... That will be even better... But I will grow fat very fast in that way... Hmmm... I need to search for new hobby... :S

Take care and miss ya... Muacksss...

Shi Hui~

What am I supposed to do???

Hmmm... Tell me... How do I convince you guys that I can actually cooked??? When I made known that I actually tried cooking curry chicken, everyone seems to doubt me... What I received is their laugh first before clarifying with me... Ok.. I admit I use the paste which is readily available... But at least I did put in some effort to try to come out with my own chicken curry... Or else you guys tell me, how do I survive for the past one month in Bristol??? Having instant food everyday??? No way... I hate instant noodles... But I do love pizza....

I need some support... Although the food that I cooked doesn't follow any recipe or what... It simply come out from my mind... Thinking back how my mum or grandma used to handle the food... Some turn out to be quite a failure while some turn out to be a success...

Come on... I even have the thought of becoming housewife in future... Haha... Back to serious matter now... I really learnt a lot about cooking ever since I came here... Method of cooking has never been a topic of discussion in MSN before but now it is... We discussed about the thing we bought at Sainsbury's the other day... How do we deal with it??? How do you cook the food??? It's something I always see my mum and aunties doing... But now I am behaving like one... Funny it may sound... But I am enjoying the whole process of preparing my own meal...

I am getting more and more comfortable with the life I am having now... It may be tiring sometimes... It may be quite empty and down sometimes... But I am sure this chunk of process will be a very sweet memory for me even when I am old...

So people out there... Give me some moral support at the very least... I haven't force you guys to eat my food... But be prepared... You will have the chance when I am back... Just wait and see...

Take care n miss ya...

Muacksss... :)

Happy Birthday October babies... :)

Sorry sorry for the late post... I suddenly realise that there are a lot of October babies among my family and friends... Hmmm... Starting with Grace, Michelle Lee, Dad, 4th sis, Michelle Leong, Min Lee, Soo Ching, small sis, Mun Yee and many many more... It seems such a wonderful and a month worth celebration... Oops... I guess I am being over... I am not an October baby... :P

Last Saturday, Michelle Leong (sorry I have to put in surname as there are 2 Michelles who are October babies) had her 21st birthday party in advance... Sadly, I could not attend it... This is the first time I miss her birthday party... Sorry girl... I wanted so much so much to attend but too bad the situation doesn't allow at all... BUT my family was there to "represent" me... Erhem... I sound so VIP... Just kidding here... My family was actually invited... Mummy bought her a necklace and I am super jealous about it now... I even asked my sis, when is mummy going to buy me one??? Hehe... No worries... I will get mine soon... As for my gift for her this year, my wishes was actually there way in advance...

Not forgetting that last Saturday was my dad's birthday as well... I took so much effort to type him a letter in chinese and then putting it together with his birthday card... And send him a sms on the day itself... According to my personal secretary in Muar, both mummy and dad felt happy to see the card... Just because they are embarassed to say that they are touched, that's why they didn't say anything... I trust my secretary... And then there are cards for my 2lovely sisters back in Muar who are celebrating their 14th and 8th birthday... Hahaha...

15th October is the birthday of my 4th sis cum my personal secretary back in Muar... She e-mailed me when there's any update... She's the one in charge of telling me the happenings in Muar... She's the one who is worried about my parcel... She's the one who tell mummy what I need at the moment... I never realised she's that sweet until I am here... She's the one I always fight and argue with at home... Mummy said we don't get along well just because she looks like me... Cheh... Anyway, mek er aka Shiyi, Happy Birthday!!! I've done all I could... You go out and find... See whose er jie is so nice... Hehe... :P

Although I am in Bristol, somehow my heart was with them at the moment... That's the thing that made me really comforted... Love can link more than 2hearts together... A million thanks to the postman who sent the cards on time and the flight which carried my warmest wishes all the way from Bristol to Muar... I finally understand what is meant by a simple greeting can melt the heart of others...

For the other October babies, I hope I didn't miss out anyone... Happy Birthday!!! Muacksss...

Quick recap - I am sick... :S

Sorry sorry... I seem to be slacking here as well... Been slacking in my studies as well... Hehe... Hmmm... Not really in the mood... Well, let's have a brief recap on what happend in the past week...

Went to London from 3 Oct till 5 Oct... The trip was overall fun... London is really a very beautiful place except for the dirty air... It's a shopping paradise... Just bear in mind to bring more cards there the next time... Be it debit or credit cards... Cash accepeted as well... Hahaha...

After the London trip, I have been busy coping with myself until now... Had sore throat... Been gulping down almost 3litres of water a day... Sounds like a "water tank"... But I am serious... The sore throat was almost gone... Thank god... But the next thing I hav is flu... Sigh... Had serious blocked nose... Been busy wrapping wantan in my room... My flu does come together with some cough... Hopefully I can get rid of it asap... It's really making me very uncomfortable...

Classes were normal last week... Nothing special happening... But there are quite a few shocking news I received last week... Hehe... Some are funny, some are not my business... Then there's this phone that I am craving for for the past one month is finally in town... Can't wait... Can't wait... I MUST GET YOU!!!

Take care and look forward to my next update... Miss ya... Muacksss...

Happiness... :D

Hi... I was supposed to blog yesterday... But I was kinda busy and got a bit too excited over my parcels from Malaysia... Haha... It was 30/09/2008... The first great thing is that I got a new bed... It was cool... Maybe it's blue in colour... The second thing that got me really excited was that I received my parcel from Malaysia... The feeling was very difficult to be put into words... Hmmm... When I opened the parcel and realised that all the food that I wanted was in that box... Omg... I was really really excited and happy... Enough of that... Everything was going on so well till I chose to put 2slices of pizza into the microwave... A few minutes after that, I smelt something weird... It was my pizza!!! It was burnt... :( The whole house was full of smoke... There it is... The BLUR DISEASE is acting up again... There goes my snack...

Evening time went to Pay Chee's house... Ordered Domino's and waited one hour for it... Shit... I was starving... Haiz... They are so inefficient... Chatted there till 10.30pm... Walked back home... To my surprise, Suhan's sister's family was at home... They were celebrating Yit Mubarrak (hopefully i spelled it right)... It's exactly the same as Hari Raya Puasa... They were having a feast... Cool... And of course there's share for me... Been eating a lot last nite... Haha... Forgiven because there's something worth celebrating... I am always full of excuses... :P

Well, take care and miss ya everyone... Muackss...
