Japanorama

I've been watching Japanorama on BBC2 every week. It's by Jonathan Ross ( and he has a blog too at myspace!) and it's really funny! He's funny too!

Anyway, watching Japanorama makes me want to go back to Japan! Everytime Jonathon Ross introduced some of the places or stuff in Japan, I'd go.. "Oh I've been there!!!!".. or "Oh! I know this!!!"

The boyfriend and I were talking in bed the other day about what we are going to do and when to do it.. because.... age is catching up on us and if we were to have kids (hehe i want a girl and I want to call her kate..but he thinks Kate is ok but not good enough but that's another story!!), we must do it soon! So anyway, he is thinking of taking a TEFL course (teaching english as a foreign language) and then teach English in Japan and i could become a GIS analyst/consultant there.. Hmmm.. I guess I would have to start to dig out my japanese books (once i'm back in Singapore) and send them back here so I could study them again. My japanese is so bad now... it's beyond belief. (I once could impress the Japanese bosses with my Japanese and also my lame Japanese jokes hehehe.) But never mind, I still can say "map" in Japanese.. so maybe that's ok! Hahaha

So maybe in 2 years time.. I'll be in Japan.. or maybe not. We just say say only lah.. I still want to work in London for now.. because I want to get some experience first! I am also thinking.. after I get married to the boyfriend and become a PR.. maybe i can study for a part time urban planning or transport planning course because I think they are so interesting! But then I'm not looking forward to doing assignments and taking exams and stuff...

Sigh.. I wish I were young again... so I can do all these things without worrying that age is catching up on me.. but then I guess if I were young (again).. i'd probably not have a clue what I really want to do! Know what i mean??

Anyway, check this video out.. Jonathan Ross talked about this comedy show from Japan. It's called
"Oh! Mikey"and it's about this american family (The Fuccons) staying in Japan.. and instead of using actors (as in human beings).. they used mannequins. It's really interesting! I like the part when they all go "HAHAHAHA" together..

Blessed...

I was lying in bed the other day and was thinking how blessed i am...

I have a family that loves me, friends who care about me, a boyfriend who loves me to bits... and his family loves me too (i think!)...
and I have found a job here in London. And I like the bosses (so far!) as they are willing to give me a chance to work and sponsor my work permit.

I have always wanted to study overseas and see how it's like. I've also wanted to have a career in GIS and now I've done it and I have it!

I now have everything I want...... except for money. I have no money!! aaargh!!

So next week, I'll start work officially... so i can earn some £... and start to pay back the loan to my mum.. and also to rebuild my savings...

I'm starting all over again but I'm happy... very happy that I'll finally get to do something that I really enjoy...

It's over!

I'm no longer a student! I've finished my dissertation and have submitted it. Hope it all goes well!
By the time i've finished writign it.. i just couldn't be bothered to check it much or read it again.. it was just too tiring...

I've been spending the past couple of days playing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. This game is so violent man..but i enjoyed it.

So i'm CJ.. this black guy representing the hood! Yeah man! So I was walking along happily along the beach when this chick walked passed me and said "Watch it! Ugly!"...
Grrr! So i followed her and beat her up! wahahahahaha! And then another girl walked passed me and insulted me again.. so i shot her with my gun! Muahahaha!

Don't mess with me man!!!

Ok back to the game...

Star light, star bright, first star i wish tonight...

My soon to be 7 year old niece, aka Mini Me has been writing down her birthday wish... well my sister made her do it...

So numero uno on her list is to have a barbie doll trolley school bag! I don't know why she wants to have one.. i think cos she wants to be her Singapore girl.. hehe.

Anyway she has also written this in her list...

A invisble pen (those that she can write secret msg but others can't see.. so i dunno why she wants it since nobody can see what she's writing? hehehehe)
A new pencil box (I might get her one..)
A Powerpuff girl birthday cake (she's crazy about them but i'm thinking of getting her cupcakes instead..hmm)
And here's what she wrote for her last wish.. "I wish Singapore will be a beautiful place to live in"

Awww.. how sweet of her! hehe

I have no time to go shopping for her present yet.. because i'm still bloody doing my dissertation!! Argh!! I'm kinda stressed now... but soon.. soon it will be over!! I better get crackin' now..

See ya later alligator...

Yahoo!

So i've booked and confirmed my tickets back home to Singapore at the end of this year! Yahoo!
So has the boyfriend!
Oh and I'll be back for 3 months!! or so.

And i've found a job for the next 3 months which will allow me to save some $ for my trip back!
And also the boss has agreed to let me continue working for him when i'm back from Singapore! Yahoo!

So now what's left for me to do is.. to finish my dissertation!!!! Argh! I just can't get myself to work on it and it's due on the 1st of Sept! Actually, i've done most of it, i think! I just need to write it!

My First time...

So I was at King Cross tube station the other day, the day when the UK govt announced that they had foiled the terrorists' plans to blow up planes leaving the UK. I was on my way to work and was stopped by this man. He showed me his badge.. and i realised he was from the British Transport Police!

He asked me for my ticket and young persons railcard (yah i am still "young" hee hee) and then said.. "OK, you may leave now."

I kept wondering why he wanted to check me.... and then i realised.. it's because I was carrying a backpack... It must be the reason... they must have suspected that i'm carrying bombs or something.. But.. why check me?? I'm just a small sized Singaporean girl on her way to work.. hmm. and.. I have such an innocent face! hehe.

Yeah it was quite exciting for me actually because I've never been stopped by a police before! hehe.

Wah Lau eh!!

So last week I had to go to Westminster for an ASSingment and i had to spend a few hours there...

And on the 2nd hour, i had to use the loo badly and the nearest one is in the tube station.... So i rushed to the loo ... only to find that i have to pay 50p to use it!! It's disgusting! 50p! That's SGD1.50 you know! $1.50 to have a pee! I think that's too much! And you know what.. the bottle of water i got was 44p! And i have to pay 50p to pee it out! GRRRRR! Those are not loos.. those are traps! Traps for tourists and people like me! Gaah!

Ha-Ha-Ha!!

I went to London today.... and was in the bus when I saw an eye clinic in Kings Cross... it was called..

The Kings Cross Eye Clinic!

Hahahaha!
I thought it was funny! I kept telling the boyfriend... "The Kings CROSS EYE Clinic! HAHAHA! The Kings CROSS EYE Clinic! HAHAHA! The Kings CROSS EYE Clinic! HAHAHA! The Kings CROSS EYE Clinic! HAHAHA!"

Get it?

The Kings Cross Eye Clinic! LOL!

I wanted to snap a pic but i couldn't cos the bus was moving off! Maybe tomorrow, on the way to work.. i should snap a pic of the Kings CROSS EYE clinic. HAHAHA. The Kings CROSS EYE clinic!

I am easily amused! LOL!

R.I.P.

KOP from SingaporeSerf.blogspot.com has passed away.

I'm very shocked...

I've been reading KOP's blog and we commented on each other's blogs sometimes.. though not often.

To me, he's a brave man. He left everything and went to Perth to pursue his dreams... and he was really looking forward to his partner's (D) arrival...

I'm sad.
It's so unfair that life has to end so early for someone like him... Someone with dreams... someone who is brave enough to realise his dreams.

R.I.P.

My worst nightmare...

I'm back from my camping trip!!
It was great! except in the mornings where the crows would wake me up with their incessant crowing!! It's quite irritating especially at 6am in the morning!!

Anyway, I came home and found this email sitting in my INBOX..

dear fat fingers...

i can't believe this lor.....how can i not know tt u've a blog?! i was surfing this http://joonelovesfood.blogspot.com/, then i saw this http://www.ihavefatfingers.blogspot.com/, then i think "wei! ihavefatfingers is my friend's email leh! y this person copy my fren?!" so i decided to go in n kpo....only to know that this person is my fren! LOL

My girl friend found out about my blog.. after almost two years haha
heng ah...i never write any bad stuff about her... i think! :D

Camping!!

We are going camping tomorrow @ North Yorkshire! The most beautiful county in the UK!

I've only been camping ONCE when I was in Pri. 5! And it rained and then the wind was so strong our tent collapsed! hahaha And i remembered they served us sotong for lunch during one of the days and being the greedy girl that I was.. i ate my friend's sotong too.... and then i realised my friends were all laughing at me because the blank ink from the sotong filled my mouth and i had black teeth! hahaha

And i was quite annoyed with one of my classmates cos she made us built a tent on top of the sticks and twigs! So it wasn't too nice for me to sleep on!

I am looking forward to tomorrow's camping trip. We are going to spend 6 days camping! We bought a gas cooker along too so we can cook! And also lots of bedding stuff and duvet to keep us warm. It's still quite cold up north.. about 17-19 degrees celcius. I just hope there will be lots of sun. We are going to visit some of the castles too and hopefully Whitby Abbey. That's where Bram Stoker got the insipiration to write "Dracula" ... ooooh!!

We've packed most of the stuff into the car.. Now i have to pack my bag. Mr. Fat Fingers' mum said I should not bring too much stuff along because camping is not really high life. LOL. I always overpack when i go one trips hahaha..

Tomorrow's journey will be ... 3.5hrs! I'm glad they got a new and bigger car just before this trip so there will be more room for everyone! I will chope the sit at the back later.. cos i want to sit with the dogs and play with them. hehe. Plus.. i don't want to be the navigator. hehe I just want to sit back, relax, enjoy the view and my nap hehehe.

So Drama!!!

I am really pissed off with my flatmate cos she has left the flat for good but has left her mess and her boyfriend behind! I have repeated requested them to clean up the cooker especially the parts where they cause the mess..the boyfriend agreed to do it but gave lots of excuses like he was busy etc....

So last friday i sent an email to the accomodation office to complain about her and her boyfriend.. and this morning, i went to the site office to tell the site manager that my flatmate has left the flat for good but has left the boyfriend behind. He laughed and said she should have brought him along and i agreed hahaha. Anyway he told me to complain it to the warden who can help me with this...

So while i was drafting my letter.. the site managers (2 of them) came. They asked me which room is it and I pointed it out. And then the drama started.

Site manager: *pounding on the door* We are from the accomodation office!
Flatmates BF: *opens door slowly*
SM: WE BELIEVE YOU ARE NOT THE TENANT OF THIS FLAT! *in a really loud voice*
FBF: Yah yah yah...
SM: WE WANT YOU TO PACK UP AND GET OUT BY 2PM TODAY!! *still in a really loud voice*
FBF: ok.....
SM: AND CLEAN UP YOUR MESS TOO!!
FBF: ok...

Then the site manager who I complained to gave me a wink... and I gave him the thumbs up sign. LOL!

It was so drama! Like a police drama you know! haha

I am happy that something has been done about this but I feel kinda bad too because i got him evicted... But i know he has a place to go to cos he has been moving his stuff in and out to his new flat/room.

And now i dare not get out of my room.. i am scared that he might start to scold me or something.. Luckily... Mr Fat Fingers is arriving in an hour to help me pack up and then i'll move out of Leeds. Yahooo!!
