Tonight..

Tonight is my last night in Leeds.

I've packed most of my stuff and we have also cleaned the kitchen... It's quite clean now! Never seen it so clean since last September, when I moved in! hahahaha! I am glad I won't be seeing my flatmates again! I guess I will only be keeping in touch with one of them. Definitely not the girl from hong kong..who left early and left her mess and boyfriend behind! Yeah! The boyfriend is still staying here! grrrr Doesn't he has his own flat or room?!?!? grrrr It's ok if he is staying here and does not mess up the kitchen!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Yeah.. so anyway, I can't believe i'm moving out tomorrow. It seemed not long ago that I moved in and Mr Fat Fingers was helping me unpack my stuff... and urging me to say "hello" to my flatmates cos i was so shy then! LOL!

Tonight.. i am also missing my family a lot. My sister sent me photos of my mum, grandma and nieces. I miss them so much. I can't wait to be back at the end of the year to see them again!

I can't wait to finish my dissertation too! ... if i ever get my "engine" to start. I just find it so hard to start work! Argh! Maybe it'll be better when i work on it from the office from 9 to 6. That will definitely make me do some work I guess.

Can't wait to be back in Herts tomorrow! Can't wait to see the dogs too! And bring them out for walks!

Goodriddancebye flatmates! & Goodbye Leeds! I'll see you in Sept! (when i come back to hand in my dissertation!)

eh?

So today I was walking to the city center to meet my friends for dinner.

Along the way, I saw this black guy with 2 bags of groceries from Morissons. Suddenly he stopped me and said... "Excuse me..." And i thought he was asking for directions or the time so i said "Yeah?" And he went.. "You look beautful" and i went.. "What? huh?"

He: You are beautiful
Me: Oh... er.. thanks.
He: Where are you going?
Me: huh? er.. i'm in a rush.. *prepares to run off*
He: Wait wait.. where are you going?
Me: Er i have to meet my friends. I'm running late. Bye!
He: Ok. You have beautiful legs! (i was wearing a denim skirt.) Bye!
Me: ..er.... thanks. *smiles*

and i hurried off. Actually I wanted to tell him i think that I have fat calves and thighs but i was scared haha and actually kinda embarrassed so i left quickly. I am not used to people stopping me in the streets and compliment me! :D

The other day, I was in the photocopy room and a PHD student from Nigeria talked to me. He took over one of the practical classes last semester and he said he remembered me because I'm so beautiful! LOL! I didn't know what to say because I'm so not used to that.. and i was nervous..cos it's just me and him in the photocopy room! Then he asked me loads of questions like "Are you from Korea?" "Are you married?" "Do you have a boyfriend". It was a bit weird... but luckily he didn't stay too long.

I don't know how to handle situations like this... It's just too weird for me because I've never seen myself as thaaat pretty! I mean.. no one will give me a second look in Singapore! I'm not used to people telling me I look beautiful..well except for Mr. Fat Fingers hehe.

Funny dream!

Last night I dreamt i was back at my ex-company.
I was talking to my COWorker and our conversation went like this...

COWorker: Everyday must change panties one. (i dunno why the talk about panties!)
Me: Yah. Everyday must change. If only we can change our boss (Dick)

Then Dick overheard our conversation and sacked me!!!

Ta ma de! How can kenna sack like that??

When i told my girl friend about this dream.. she said I still cannot get over him. HAHAHAHA!
I don't know why! I just can't stop hating this irritating piece of...BLOB!

Oh yeah... While walking around Manchester the other day... i saw a card with the word "SKIVING" written on it. I was tempted to buy it and send it to Dick. In it, the msg would be...

Dear Dick,

When I saw this card, memories of you flooded my mind.
So i have to send this to you.

Cheers,
Fat Fingers

But i didn't lah...cos like so boh liao like that..hahaha

2 weeks!

Yes 2 weeks from now, i'll be saying good riddance bye to my flatmates!!

I can't wait to get out of this flat.

The weather here is getting warmer.. about 19 to 23 degrees celcius now.. but i don't know why my flatmate still wants to turn up the heater to 20! LOL!
Thank goodness I've turned off the heater...but none of them knows it yet. hehehe

We are going to clean up that extremely dirty kitchen of ours soon. I think I shall be annoying and ask that girl from hkg if she would like to clean the stove because she and her bf are the one who dirtied it. It's so dirty!! It's gross! You can see some sago stuck on the stove! And all the food stains!! Grrrrr

A few days ago, they cooked red bean soup and spilled some of it on the table. They didn't even bother to clean it up! What is wrong with these people? If it's me, i'd just wipe it off immediately! But no, these people have to leave it over night. They only cleaned it up after I wrote a note to say that we have to clean up the kitchen soon before we move out so as not to incurr any extra cleaning charges (which i am not prepared to give!!)

And that stupid bf of hers... can't even pee properly! My other flatmate has been complaining to me about how she had to clean the toilet cos there were pee all over the toilet seat!! She wanted to tell her to do something about it but she felt it would not be too nice to tell a 20 something to pee properly! Anyway the toilet is ok now...quite clean for the past few days!! I think he as stopped thinking with his penis for once and have started to lift up the toilet seat when he pees!

Grrr.. Stupid flatmate and her boyfriend who can't pee properly!! I hope she gets some rashes for being so dirty!!!

So anyway... enough of that... I've finally finished my last assignment for the term... I have just my dissertation to do now and then I'll be back at the office in London in July... can't wait to start and can't wait to discuss more about job opportunities with the boss there!

*******

Mr Fat Fingers came to visit me last week. We had serveral day outs. One was to Keighley (pronounced as keith-ley). We took the stream train and travelled around on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway...in a STEAM train! How every interesting! And very old fashion too! I love it!

We also went to Manchester on Saturday... and there were too many football fans there. Cos the England team was playing against Jamaica that day. I was glad I was in Red and White that day... England's colour and also Singapore's colour!! There were lots of Policemen around too..making sure no one is out and about getting pissed and causing trouble. There were even a few policeman on duty in the train on the way back to Leeds! It's crazy! But everyone was well behaved except for a few Sheffield United fans who kept making fun of Leeds United!! hehehehe

Does anyone remember this??

I was browsing some books on ebay (yes.. things i would do to stop myself from doing REAL work) and came across this! And i remembered I used to own some of these Story Teller mags and cassettes! I enjoyed reading them so much I read them over and over and over and over and over (you get the picture) again!

I am so tempted to get them but wow.. they are really going at a high price! I might just get the cd with the stories (that's £15 for two editions!!) and try to find the mags at a later time when I have more money. I am really skint now. I just spent £15 on 3 Adrian Mole dvds from ebay. I can't wait to watch them!

I also need to get a haircut.. so more £. I also need to spend money on train tickets to and fro London when I start my dissertation research with the co. (But the co. might reimburse me that.. and hopefully my lunch too and also pay me some £££!!)

Aiii.. i better go do my work now...

Mount. Koya, Japan

I was looking at some of my old photographs and came across photos that We (Mr. Fat Fingers and I) took in Japan.
Koyasan is in the World Heritage List. It's about 80min from Osaka. It's high up in the mountain and the train ride is quite exciting!!

It's really a quiet town... and very small too.. There is a cemetry there and there are over 200,000 graves in there!

Anyway, i was looking at the photos and recalled this incident..

We were walking in the cemetry to get to one of the temples...and we saw this Japanese guy about 60yrs old or so... He was standing in front of a tombstone and he was crying... We didn't know what to do.. and he looked at us and we could see the sadness in his eyes. So i asked him if he's alright and he told me that was his family's grave and those little figurines next to the tombstones are his parents and brothers and sisters...

He then shoved me his disposable camera asked me to take a photo of him with his family! After taking the photo, he thanked me and asked me a few questions and we said goodbye and went off in different directions. A few minutes later, we turned around and saw him again! Just behind us! We swear we didn't see him or hear him coming!!! It was so spooky! Mr Fat Fingers and I almost jumped out of our skin. The man came and said thank you to us again! And then he left... and we didn't see him after that. It was quite spooky then cos we were in a cemetry! And it was really quiet!!!!

Hmm.. I wonder how this man is now.. I hope he's ok.


The cemetry in Mount Koya

Very Bad Things

Last night i stayed up to watch "Very Bad Things".
It's a black comedy.

It's about this guy, Kyle, and his friends who went to Las Vegas for his stag weekend and his friend, Michael accidentally killed the stripper and they decided (after much discussion...) to just bury her in the desert. Unfortunately, the security came and discovered the body. Kyle's friend, Boyd, played by Christian Slater, decided to kill the security guard and they cut them up and buried them in the desert.

Not long after, a few of them cracked up and they started killing each other. It's hilarious.

There were many times, they were all shouting and fighting over it that I wanted to just shout "Shut up! & Move on!!" hehehehehe

Yeah, it's quite a good show to watch on a boring saturday night.

FOOD!!!

I have just finished the second last ASSignment for the year! I have one more to go!! It's due at the end of this month! After that I can move on and start on my dissertation!!

I have been missing my family a lot the past few days... and I also have been coming across lots of pictures of Singapore food! First, it was on myalterego's blog! There were pics of curry fish head!! And a few days ago, i saw pictures of Or luak and curry fishhead on Todayonline! Then i came across this blog by Kitchen Crazy Daffy! There were pics of chui kway and kway chup (i like!) ! Then, on Mandrake's blog, there were pics of Lor Mee!

Wah!!!!! I cannot take it anymore!!!

And i also feel like eating chicken rice! NOW!!!! But I can only have it in June! When I'm back at Mr. Fat Fingers'! He better cook it for me! hahahahaha

Yeah besides the food.. i really do miss my family!
Today I spoke to Mini Me on skype. I miss her so much! She kept giving me riddles!! heehehe! It was so much fun!

She gave me this:
Why do lions like to eat raw meat?
Because they don't know how to cook!

HAHAHA!

She's only 7 and has taken lots of interest in jokes and riddles recently! And she kept asking me to give her some riddles! I have been googling for riddles but i am running out of riddles to give her!

So if anyone of you have any riddles (suitable for kids please!), please tell me! With the answers of course! hehehehe :D Thank you!

My Flatmates...

... are not that bad.. actually... I think.

The toilet is much cleaner now...and the kitchen too! I don't know what's wrong with them.

Maybe aliens invaded the flat when I wasn't around and they somehow changed into nice and considerate people... just like the people in the show, Invasion...except those people became kind of bad...

Anyway, i think the toilet is cleaner because the one who has been using the washing liquid to wash her fruits and vegies has stopped doing it.. so maybe she has stopped lao sai-ing...

And I've been talking more to some of them... like "hey, how's your day?" , "when's your exam?", "what are you cooking?" And i talked to one of them about instant noodles too. We were discussing which brand is good and which is hot and spicy!

Everyone seems to be in a good mood... i guess it's because we're all going to get out of this flat and not see each other ever again in 1.5 months time!! hahahahahaha!!!!

I Love Fridays!

because Friday is Green Wing day!

Green Wing is my favourite series on tv now! I like it more than I like Little Britain!
These guys are way too funny!

Green Wing is about this bunch of people who work in the hospital ... and they are a bunch of lunatics! Sometimes the jokes are really crude! So crude i can't get it that I have to ask Mr. Fat Fingers. We'd all be laughing out loud in the lounge every friday night because it's just so funny!

My favourite character is Dr. Alan Roderick Statham (ARS is his initial! HAHAHAHA) He's the guy with the moustache in the clips below!

If you do get a chance, please get the DVD! You can get them at www.play.com other sites. You can also view more of the clips at Youtube.com.

Woohoo!!

I went to look for my lecturer today to ask him if he could be my supervisor for my dissertation cos i changed my topic again... Actually he's the same one i asked the other time but i had to inform him that I'm doing something else...

Anyway, when i went into his room, the first thing he told me was...

Prof: You were very smart yesterday!
Me: Huh? Me?
Prof: Yes! Your presentation. It was very smart! Well done!
Me: Oh thanks! But i think I spoke too fast?
Prof: Yes you did! I didn't have time to look at your maps properly! But they were very good.
Me: Oh.. Thank you!

Hehehehehe! It nice to be complimented hehehe especially by my professor. I hope he will give me good marks for my report too hehehehe

Oh.. I have one and a half more project to do! Then I can finally work on my dissertation!!

R.I.P.

I received a terrible news today...

My favourite tree has been chopped off!!! Because it has died, apparently.. :(

Goodbye favourite tree! Walking around Pegsdon will never be the same again! & I wanted to see how you look like in Spring! Boo hoo hoo!



Anyway, Mr Fat Fingers has been going on lots of walk with his mum and the dogs and has been looking out for trees that I might like! Hahahaha!
