TB

I have given one of my flatmates a nickname. Her name is TB.. short for Thin Blanket.

For the past few nights.. i have been waking up.. hot and bothered...
You know why? Cos TB turned up the heater to THIRTY degrees! Wah lau! 3o!!

I have turned off the radiator in my room.. and it stills feel warm!
I have opened the window too but still it is not working!
I didn't even need my duvet when i sleep!

For the past few nights, i turned the temp down to 15 degrees celcius hahaha cos it's so warm! And the next day i wake up, it has been turned up to 30!!!

So today, i can't stand it anymore and asked who's the one who has been turning up the heat! (i didn't know who at first but i suspected TB through some process of elimination! haha). She said it is her.. cos she feels so cold at night especially her feet!

I asked her "Don't you have a duvet??" she said yes.. and pointed at her blanket..
Wah lau.. please lor.. you are in the UK.. it is cold and will be colder soon..why you use something that is as thin (or maybe thinner) as your bath towel as a blanket?

She then told me to turn off my radiator at night! Oh the cheek! She said her radiator is not working so the accommodation office gave her a heater!

Then why the hell did she not use her heater and turned up the central heater!!! Wah lau....

Anyway she said she will turn on her heater tonight!
So tonight, i am able to have a good sleep! Yahoo!

My flatmates...

- like to leave "skid marks" on the toilet bowl! grrrr...
- didn't clean the stove after cooking.. so it can be quite oily and dirty
- used my wok (they want to share with me) and yesterday the wok was rusty!! I had to clean it up!

I am going to charge them for the things that they are going to share with me. I will have to set up house rules too...

1. Please clean up after yourself
2. .....

er i am stuck now.. what house rules should i have??

finally ah!!

I've finally got internet access in my room!!

I am so glad to be online now! I can finally surf the net in peace and read all the blogs!!

The boyfriend left last Saturday.. so i had the weekend all to myself.. and i was so LONELY!!! I miss him! But part of me wants him to go back soon so i can get on with my life.. and meet more people and make new friends.

My flat mates are ok… but I doubt I will be very good friends with them..

3 of them are from China so that makes them a gang already.

The other flat mate of mine is from Hong Kong. She is always running around.. so I have not much chance to talk to her etc.

Oh and their names are so funny.. Gigi, Lili, Coco and today i met a Bobo. I am sure i will meet someone by the name of Jojo soon.. hmmm

So what have i been doing??

Well, I have been going to the afternoon tea party at the International Students Office. They serve FREE tea/coffee and snacks! So must go lor! Plus.. can make more friends mah!!!

It was quite awkward for me at first… cos I am just not good at starting a conversation.. But it went ok (thankfully). I plucked up my courage and talked to some people. I met some Japanese girls and boys. They were a friendly bunch. I met a Swedish guy too and he asked me lots of questions about Singapore! Heng ah! I know the answers hahaha. And today i finally met someone who is doing the same (well almost the same) course as me! We have not met anyone who is in the same dept!!

Oh and i think it's so hard to cook for one person? I thought it was easy cos i can cook whatever i want and however i want it... but on Sunday i was in the kitchen... pondering for 15min... with the chicken breast on my plate.. I don't know what to do with it!! Should i stir fry it? Steam it? How?!?!?!?!?!?!? I don't know what to do with it!!!!

In the end, i cooked tom yum soup with them....

Oh yeah... some guy from the next block was trying out his new wok... and he set off the fire alarm! haha i think that's so funny.... i hope it will not happen to me.. hehehe

I'm back!!

Hmmm is it just me or are the pantyliners in the UK really big??? It seems so big to me leh.. hehehe

Anyway... i'm having a really good time here in the UK! I'm getting used to the weather here.. no rain for the past few weeks! Yahoo!

Been to Buckingham Palace, Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Hatfield house and Windsor Castle. I love Windsor Castle! It's so lovely! Unfortunately, the Queen wasn't in Windor Castle on the day i was there...i was hoping to see her so i can complain to her! Wah Lau, i still haven't get my bank a/c!! So many weeks already!

If there's one thing i hate about the UK, it will be the banks and their banking system! I dont' understand why i have to wait for a few weeks to get my a/c! Do i look like i am into money laundering? aiyoh....

OK enough whinging...

Let me tell you about my new mission

It its to.....try all the pies in the UK without getting fat!
Wah the pies here are so good!! I love them! It's so good especially with the gravy! mmmmm!!
I had Steak and Guinness pie on Monday and a steak and ale pie yesterday!
And i have put on ONE kg.. boohoo hoo!!

I got fat in Japan from eating too much mister donuts (8kg!!).. now it seems like i have a thing for pies here! Aiyoh... MUST.WATCH.DIET.

Size does matter...

The Boyfriend : Would you like to have some tea?
Me : Yes please.
The Boyfriend : Ang Moh Size?
Me : no.. Oriental size please!!

Man the servings here are so big!
Even the tablespoon at The Boyfriend's house seems bigger than the one i have back at home.. hmmmm HAHA
Oh yah, and in England.. Asian means people from India/Pakistan. For me, i'm an oriental! I hope no one spins me around cos then i'll be disoriented! HAHAHAHAHAHA

And the clothes! It's all size 10 and above! Well.. there are some size 8 and 10.. but i have to see anything nice yet. I have to go shopping more.. if the weather improves!!

Thank you everyone for the comments but i can't reply to them.. no time lah.. cos not using own lappie at the moment. And gotta chat with the family too. Man, i miss them already! Actually, it's mostly mum's food!

I cooked some rice today and some steamed egg too hehe. Tastes good but not as good as mum's...

Tomorrow i will cook chicken rice.. i hope it will turn out good.. and yah, the chicken here is very big too! and it cost us.. SGD20!!!! Wah lau.. it;s going to be an expensive chicken rice..

OK everyone, Fat Fingers gotta go now..

Take care! & I'll blog again soon....

It started off bad!!! Stupid airline.. but things could only get better from there!!

I'll update more about what happened when i have the time...

I'm now at The Boyfriend's place. It's a lovely place! His family is great! So are the dogs! So cute!! I think one of them is jealous of me.. cos i think she's in love with The Boyfriend too...
And Hedges the cat keeps coming on to me.. Cats are not my thing.. and i wonder where Benson is. I've yet to meet him. Yes the cats' names are Benson & Hedges haahhaa

OK gotta go now.

Will update more soon!!

Last entry!

No lah.. not my last entry for good.. but my last entry in Singapore...

I had a great dinner with the family today...
I'm going to miss them so much! & I hope i'll not cry at the airport tomorrow....

I have so much i want to say.. but i just can't express them out now.. too tired i guess..

Anyway, I hope tomorrow, the check-in will be smOOth hehe.
And the customs officer will be nice to me... I hope they will not make me open my luggage cos there's nothing much inside really....... ;)

Okie dokie... Fat Fingers must go get some sleep...

I'll blog again when i'm in the UK!

Take care everyone! :)

Done!

I've just finished packing!
Man.. i hate packing.. I have to leave so many stuff at home.. but that's ok.. that means i can get some new stuff when i'm there! YAY!

Thank god for Space bags!! Winter clothings can be so bulky!

Anyway, i think i've just met the max. baggage allowance..or maybe might exceed one or two kg. I had to go through like... 454579 rounds of elimination before i could decide what i really want to bring HAHAHAHHAA.

The Boyfriend's mother was so funny... she asked him if she should rent a container for me and put it in her garden so i could store my stuff! LOL. I think that's so funny!

Yeah, i'm all set to go to the UK!

Busy Busy!

I've been so busy.... cleaning the room....
I've not finished packing yet!

I've already set aside all the things i want to bring.. wah.. and it seems like there's a lot i want to bring!! Aiyoh... i must review my stuff again hehehe.

Anyway, by popular demand.. here's the pic of me doing the LOSER sign. (^_^)L.
I have blurred out my face and Dick's face....hehehe.
I shy lah... hee hee (^_^)Y

It's over!

Finally!
It's over!
My last day at work!
No more working for Dick. No more working for a loser!

Yahooo!

I will neither miss Dick nor Work... but i'll definitely miss some of my COWorkers.

They were so nice to get me a present and organised a pizza party too. And a couple of them also prayed for me before i left the the office. So nice of them!

Oh yes... took a pic with Dick. I pretended to do the Peace sign (^_^)Y... and before the camera snapped.. i changed it to the LOSER sign! (^_^)L HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I love that pic so much hahahaaha! Dick doesn't know about this cos we didn't download it into the shared folder.
edit : actually, i have been practicing this (changing the peace sign to the loser sign) in front of the mirror a few weeks ago!! haha. I am so boh liao i can't stand myself! :D

Muahahahahahaha!!

Oh man, i can't believe i will be leaving Singapore in.. 6 days!! I have yet to pack! eeeeeek Well.. i only packed my winter clothings.. and it's already...15kg! Another 15kg more to go! Need to pack my clothes, shoes and bags. Oh and also my cosmetics, skincare products..and some FOOD!! Yikes! So many things but so little luggage space....

I Not Stupid Dick!

Dick to COWorker : OK! I shall pay for lunch! It's going to be my treat!

Wah haolian leh, Dick!
He wants to pay for my farewell lunch worr!

When my COWorkers told me, i was like... "Sure or not?? He's a niao piao leh!!"

But of course, it is too good to be true! Later on, he told my COWorker that he is going to pay using his corporate card.

Chey! It's not from his own pocket.. but for Dick to say he's going to treat us is already very good!!

BUT... today... he changed his mind.

He said he has a budget too... BUT he will still pay with his corporate card and everyone can pay him back in cash.

Hello?
You pay by corporate card, we pay you back in cash.
You claim that lunch from the co, then you pocket our $$$?
Hello? Want to cheat our money? Not so easy lor!
We not dick ok!

August!

It's August already! Can you believe it?

In 21 days i'll get to see The Boyfriend!!
How exciting!

We are so excited!

I'm very nervous about meeting his parents too.. and his brother.
I also hope the dogs will accept me. One of them is crazy about The Boyfriend. I think she will get jealous of me. hmmmm

And i'm also hoping that i will not step on any dead animals.. when i'm there...

You see.. a few weeks ago, The Boyfriend got up to pee in the middle of the night. He was too lazy to turn on the lights.. and on the way back to his room.. he stepped on something squishy!! He turned on the lights and saw a dead bird!! EEEEK! He was too tired and just wiped the guts and stuff off from in between his toes and went to bed!!! Argh! Gross!! He didn't wash his feet!! Ewwwww

Apparently, one of the cats killed the bird and brought it in! Sometimes they bring dead mice into the house too! EEEEK!

Yeah anyway.. yes.. 21 days to go!

YAY!!
