Outdated...

Last night when I made a call to mummy back at home, it was then I realised how outdated I am... My aunt (mummy's cousin) gave birth to a baby girl during Chinese New Year... Hahaha... I just knew it yesterday... The conversation was like this...

Mummy : Xiao Ling Jie Jie, Xiao Fen Jie Jie and Xiao Jin will be going to Taiwan in May...

Me : Is Xiao Ling Jie Jie allowed to board the plane?

Mummy : Why not???

Me : She is pregnant...

Mummy : She gave birth to a baby girl during Chinese New Year...

Me : ..............

Gosh... I am just like "katak bawah tempurung"... The same case happened when I called granny last night...

Granny : That day Ah Hao brought his wife for a check up because of high blood pressure...

Me : Why the sudden high blood pressure???

Granny : Because she is pregnant...

Me : Which Ah Hao??? (

Granny : Your grandaunt's son lah (mummy's cousin as well)...

Me : WHAT???!!!! =.= (It's out of my expectation anyway, hehe... I didn't mean anything else)

Oh my god... I knew nothing about this as well... I am only away for 6 months till now and sooooooooo many things happened back in Malaysia... I am now so excited to go back Malaysia because I will be expecting three newborn babies... Yup... There will be 3 BABIES... Hooray... My cousin who will be getting married during summer had his wedding photo done as well... Hahaha... Congrats congrats... Both father and mother side family is expanding and expanding... I am really really happy... :D:D:D

This weekend, my family will be going for this Qingming at Bukit Bakri... My sis, Shi Han emailed me and told me about this... She told me that she will help me explain to my grandpa and grandma on why I can't be able to make it this year... Owhhh... So sweet of her... And and and my family will be going to Bali in June without me... How sad... I have never been to Bali before... :( Never mind then... I am sure papa will bring me there again... Hehe...

Take care and miss ya people... I seem to be typing quite a lot today... Have so much to talk about suddenly... Hehe... Muackssss...

Shi Hui~~

Recap...

I finally understand the concept that emo person are not supposed to stay at home for too many days without going out... This will lead to being even more emo... Hence, these few days I have not been staying at home much...

18 March - It's a bad bad bad bad bad bad day to the extent of indescribable...

19 March - I went for a jog with Siok Kuan, Huay Jiun and Wan Lin which turned into a walking session... But it's good enough... We walked for more than 2 hours... Great feeling... Since it's spring now, can go out more often... After walking and having dinner, we played Wii for about 3hours at my house... Gosh... The game is super addictive... It's full of dancing, shouting and cursing... Hahaha... We had great fun... =D Anyway, I am not addicted to it because I suck at playing games... =(

20 March - Went to the city centre for no purpose... Just to have dim sum at Dynasty in the afternoon... Hahaha... Had a walk at Cabot Circus and as promised last night to Huay Jiun, I did not buy anything at all today... Woohoo... A new record broken... This is because I have over-spent this month... I need to cut down on my expenses on clothing and shopping... But it's a good experience as well... Should learn to save for rainy days... Not forgetting to wish Mr Lau Weng Kien a Happy 22nd Birthday here... Hehe...

Spring is here... Should not be so gloomy and emo anymore... Must smile cheerfully like those flowers and shine brightly like the sun... By the way, the sun is a bit annoying these few days... Super glaring hot that reminds me so much of Malaysia... Sigh...

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

Hello SPRING <3

HOORAY!!! HOORAY!!! The long awaited season is here... Finally got rid of the freaking cold winter... The sun winks and smiles at you early in the morning... The colourful flowers taking turns to greet at you every morning... Even strangers become friends... I met the old man that I will meet at least once a week on the way to UWE and he started by waving at me and then he talked to me this morning... He reminded me so much of my great grandma... I presume he is more than 80 years old...

The jeans had to be hung behind the door for longer times... The thick jacket will soon be making their own ways into the luggage or maybe being ignored in the wardrobe... Say hello to short pants and t-shirt... Hoodies, here I come... Hahaha... Everything seems so good although the sun sometimes irritates me as though it is going to burn my face anytime... The cold wind annoys me too when it is not supposed to blow... Afterall, this season beats winter... Two thumbs up... The best thing of all, I AM OUT OF LOVE... Hahaha... A nice way to welcome spring... A relationship that expires after two seasons... Braving through the cold weather with me but unable to withstand the heat...

On the other hand, I have not been having quality sleep lately... Been having dreams the moment I sleep till the moment I woke up... I can even have many many dreams during my two-hour nap... This is so unlike me because I am those who don't dream much during sleep... Hmmm... Something must be not right somewhere that I dream so much... In short, I can hardly have a good night sleep... Pissed...

Take care people... Miss you, miss you, miss you... Muacksssss...

Dublin Trip 19-22 February 2009...

Finally, finally, finally... If I am not going to write this today, I don't think I will have the mood to do that anymore... But I wouldn't want to be smacked by anyone here, I am forcing my fingers to do the typing and at the same time my brain to do the reflection...

Leprechaun... The ji xiang wu of Dublin... =D I mean the hat, not me...

Okok... The Dublin trip was organised by my friend, Wan Lin who plans to go there and visit her friend, Hong... So she asked us whether to join the trip or not... Without hesitating, I agreed to go because it's Westlife's hometown... Hahaha... We left Bristol on Thurday afternoon because we need to take a cab to the airport which is one hour from the place we are staying, Filton... Our flight is at around 7pm... The journey to Dublin is about 1 hour only...

Spot my double chin... Wakaka... We are in the flight to Dublin, by the way...

A must take photo at Dublin... Spot the building which looks like needle...

From left to right : Siok Kuan, Shi Hui, Nicole, Pay Chee, Huay Jiun, Wan Lin & Chi Ying..

Guess how many of them are my darling??? Hehe... =P

The customs at Bristol Airport is so troublesome... Have to take out so many things... Fine with it... The first fright we got when we reached Dublin was the landing of the plane... Scary enough to make your heart jumped out... After that, I was being interrogated by the custom officer for quite some time... Maybe I have some face problem... Sigh... Annoying enough... Took our luggage and then took a bus to somewhere which I have no idea... But the place is within walking distance to Hong's place... So, we waited for him there... Put the luggage at his place and we went for dinner... The highlight of Thursday night is the dinner part... Hahaha... Had char kway tiao which cost me 10 euros... Hahaha... Super duper expensive and satisfying... Although it is not the original type that is available in Malaysia, it is sufficient to satisfy my taste bud... Too tired... After dinner then we went home.. Rested and chatted at home...

*Sorry... No picture of the char kway tiao... Too hungry...

Some very random and silly pictures... =D

Behind us is the Lovers' Bridge...

Very very random... Spot the 3 models at the back... Wakaka...

The next morning, we had Irish breakfast... It's the same as English breakfast I think... Sausages, egg, bread, etc... Nothing special about that... After the breakfast, we went to The Body's exhibition... Hahaha... The name speaks of itself... It's about human bodies... Dead bodies were preserved and being cut here and there to enable us to see the organs, muscles, bones, etc... Sounds scary but it's not as scary as I perceived it to be... At least I learnt quite a lot from it... After the exhibition, we went to Jameson Distillery... Jameson is a type of whisky... We chose to visit this instead of Guinness... Don't know why... It's a nice place... And I was chosen to be one of the tester... In the end, I received a certificate stating that I am a qualified whisky tester... So funny... After visiting that distillery, we went for a walk at some streets there... Had dinner at one of the pubs... Nice dinner... Hehe... After dinner, it's about walking again... But we reached another pub to have some drinks because Hong is going to introduce some beer...

That's the Irish breakfast... =D



Notice the left hand side of the background...

That is where the exhibition is held...

Jameson Distillery...

Sorry... I can't remember which stage this is...

Boohooo...

And my certificate...

The dinner... Stew beef with Guinness...

Saturday morning, we had breakfast at some Chinese shop serving dim sum... The best thing about the breakfast is the you tiao... Nothing else... Today is shopping day... But the whole morning was wasted on the road and waiting for bus... The bus services in Dublin is so inefficient... Ended up have to take luas... Something like I have no idea how to explain it... Tram??? LRT??? MRT??? Train??? Whatever it is, it is called LUAS... We went to this largest shopping mall in Dublin... Big enough but didn't really buy because it's not worth spending euros on something you can get in pounds... Hahaha... But I ended up with a jacket also... Another highlight of the trip is Jo's Burger... It's a yummy yummy and big burger... Omg... The tastiest burger I had ever had... The thought of it can make me drool... After a big burger, we headed to Hard Rock Cafe for some desserts... Hahahaha... How not to gain weight in Dublin??? It's a food paradise... After that, walk here and there again... We headed to another drinking place after Hard Rock Cafe to have a try on their local beer... Sweat... Being asked for identity at the entrance... We looked too young... Wakaka....

The breakfast... Forgot to take the you tiao picture...

This is Jo's Burger... Yummy...



Hard Rock Cafe, Dublin...

Outside Jo's Burger...

Sinful desserts...

Not forgetting souvenirs and photo taking... And I had the nicest hot chocolate in Dublin as well... Gosh... That's why the trip is so fun because the food there is really nice... Oh ya... we witnessed a demonstration at Dublin as well... It's about those people protesting against the government paying money to the bank to get out of the recession... Sigh..

Best hot chocolate I ever had...

Came back to Bristol on Sunday morning... Had another fright when we reached Bristol airport due to the landing again... Super no skill... Sigh... By the way, we nearly missed the flight back to Bristol... That's the worst fright I guess... Imagine the plane has shifted and it's no longer parked at the departure gate... Hahaha... So funny...

Overall, the trip is fun and nice... Dublin is mostly about walking... It should be sufficient to burn the calorie we had there... Hmmm... Next trip should be Manchester and Birmingham... In planning stage now... Holidays coming really really soon... Take care people... Miss ya... Muacksss...

Shi Hui~~

P/S : More pictures available at Facebook... =D

What a day....

Sigh.... I guess I have not mentioned this in my blog today that today (09/03/2009) is the submission date for my assignment in this term or should I say university life... Although I have one more on the 30th, that is an optional re-submission... It's not the official one... Anyway, assignment deadlines are not the main point of this blog...

I was happily printing my assignment last night and checked the content for god knows how many times to make sure I don't miss out anything... Well, the printing, checking and hand-in processes turned out well... I have no complaints on that...

BUT... This morning when I attended my first tutorial session, took out my files and TO MY SURPRISE/HORROR, I can't find my precious Doraemon pencil case... I thought it was hidden somewhere in my big bag... But it was me who left it case on my table in my room... Blame it on my itchy hand to take it out to fill in the assignment cover sheet this morning before coming out and forgot to put it back... Gosh... I seriously cannot imagine whole day of class without my stationery... So sad... Managed to borrow a pen from my friend... Half day gone and I am attending class with only a pen instead of my usual dozens of stuff on the table... No ruler, eraser, highlighter. pencil, etc, etc... And my pen drive is in my pencil case... I even made sure that it's right in my pencil case before I slept last night as I am worried I need to print some additional stuff for my assignment in the uni... Who knows, I am at uni today bringing my notes and myself and my assignment... I am moody because of this... :(:(:(

I just need to grumble a bit on my so-called bad day... Hehe... I never realise my pencil case can have such a big influence on me... Sigh... Take care people and miss ya... Muackssss...

Shi Hui~~

Stubborn???

Can I ask you guys a very simple question???

AM I STUBBORN???
If yes, to what extent and in what way???
Please leave your answer either in Blur Chat or just leave a comment...

I have been condemned to be the most stubborn girl one have ever met which left me confused for quite some time... Please help me... Thanks... =D

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

Shi Hui~~

Tomorrow... Again???

Mission failed... I am not done with my 4500 words report till now... I wonder how many tomorrows it has been... Sigh... =(

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

Shi Hui~~

=P

Current status : I am done with my 1500 words reflective and I need to go to bed now... Tomorrow I need to finish off my 4500 words report if that is possible... About 1500 words more to go... For everyone's information, I have been sleeping so much for the past few days... Hahaha...

Good night people... Miss me, miss me and still miss me... Muacksssss...

Shi Hui~~

As random as it can be...

Just a very very very random post because I am so sick of my 1500 words reflective log... Yup... You didn't see wrongly... That day was 700 words which I had already handed in... This is for another assignment... Sucks to the maximum...

Some super random pictures from my folder...

Helloooooo...

Just in case any of you can't remember how I look like... =P

Still the same old me... Maybe with chubbier face than before...

For your information, the stew beef with Guinness is awesome...

I am craving so much for this HK style rice from Kim Gary... The only one that can make my younger sister finish up the whole portion including the corn and brocolli... Sisters like it, Mummy happy... Hahaha... =D

Another one from Kim Gary... I don't remember the name some chop rice... Die die also must have this when I am back in Malaysia... And it must be a treat from my Jie... Wakaka... Preferably at Mid Valley or Pyramid bacause I can at the same time go shopping there...

Hahaha... As I mentioned earlier, this is a very random post... Sorry if I annoyed anyone of you... You guys read it at your own risk... Too bad I am wuliao now... Pardon me... Thanks...

Take care and miss ya... Muacksssss...

Shi Hui~~

Yo...

Yo yo yo... Hahaha... I am done with my IF assignments... Wait... Still have 700 words reflective to write but that's not so important... Blog first... Write after this... Kakakaka... 9th of March still have one more assignment submission... That will be my final year project aka research paper aka dissertation... About 3000 more words to go... Jia you jia you!!!!

I have been asking my housemate to go city centre with me on the 10th... I am praying that she is not working on that day... She will be leaving to Paris for 10 days... Sigh... Days without her will be so so so boring... Imagine me facing that dirty housemate everyday... I have no idea what will become of the kitchen and bathroom... But never mind... He has got on my nerves now... This morning I just told him off for banging the door all the time... I did mention that in the previous posts... Imagine one morning almost 1o times when I was still sleeping... After I woke up, it's still the same... I got so pissed off that I went downstairs and told him off... He said sorry but then I don't see any difference till now... Sigh...

Then just now, he was cooking two types of curry at one go... My housemate texted me and told me that we have no place to cook dinner tonight... So, I went down and have a look... Indeed the ktichen has turned into a post war site... Faint... It's soooooooooo messy that I have no eyes to look at it anymore... Initially I have the plan to cook chicken curry and my housemate will be cooking tomyam... Both of us ended up having KFC for dinner just because of that housemate...

On the other hand, I kind of pity my housemate... Both my housemate and I have been sort of ignoring him today because he pissed us off so much... Normal time, I can stand him but not when I am having assignments and PMS... My housemate is even worse... She totally cold war with him... Wakaka... But then again, the dirty housemate actually cleaned the whole house today as promised because he will be out of our sight for 2months... He will be having his final exams for 2months and he'll be anti-social for 2months... Yay... I am actually quite happy... I hope he can stop cooking for 2months too... =P

Take care and miss ya... Blog again soon... Muacksssss....

Shi Hui~~
