Location : Singapore

hello readers,

sorry for being absent for a few days…currently now in Singapore Changi Airport using their free internet service. Flight from London to Sg by Qantas air. I cant say they arent’ good.the flight was too long - about 12 hours. And it was very big flight, can fit about 400 ppl and it was FULL!! The flight entertainment isnt that great compared to Emirates but I stayed awake the whole 12 hours+ journey.

What did I do? 

  • Read Twilight (novel) - Veep! I finished it!! yay!!!
  • Watched a movie by Natalie Portman, very nice…it’s called…The Other Boleyn Girl..something like that, i cant remember
  • Watched Definately, Maybe by Ryan Reynolds. If you’re my generation, and watches The Odyssey, you’ll know who that is. It has been more than 10 year and he changed so much! kekeke :razz:
  • Watched one episode of Dr. House.

That is practically all…yea, i did all that in 12hours+. I just realised travelling with a book is great because it takes the time away faster than if you just sit there looking at people!

Twilight….a teen novel, it’s actually very thick, like those normal thick normals…but it’s teenage, not my type but I promised veep I’ll read it and she actually let me borrow it back to Msia, and it must be dreadful for her to part with her book for the next 19 days!!

ok, got to go now :lol:

reporting

howdy!

reporting after being MIA for a few days! Went to British Museum, it was great but tiring because the museum was so BIG. So many historical stuff like vase and stones and so on. Rabun look at so many things.

Then wanted to go and watch the All England Lawn Tennis Tournament or better known to be Wimbledon. But was lost and didnt have the tickets so, ended up walking around Southfields and bought some gifts for the tennis freaks! they have been bugging me to get this and that, go there to watch….dont even know how hard it is to get there and how expensive, went there and nothing!! :razz: Anway, got the lanyard and keychain and visor. one for each!

:eek: sorrie, no pic.

tomorrow going to Oxford Street and eat duck! Ahaha…a few people had told me that I must go to this shop to eat! and I did - it was great!! the meat is so soft..yummy, going to bring the rest of the comrades to go eat tomorrow!

signing off…

A day with Sherp

it’s the D day! ok, i’m not sure what D-day means, to me, it’s The day. The first day here in London. Tour guide : Sherlene. More like we are leading each other instead of she’s the guide coz we were both clueless. :razz:

First thing first, visited the place I didnt manage to visit the last time I was here - Tower Bridge, London Tower and Eggie.

We stopped in Monument Stop, and walked up, it was the London bridge. Very beautiful and cold at the same time, wind was strong and both of us were shivering…kinda regretted wearing skirts! :lol: The continue to walk towards the Tower Bridge, it was beautiful…

Saw Eggie. The first time I saw was last winter, when Ben told us about it, but never saw it for myself, only in pictures. I wasnt satisfied because others had their pictures taken with Eggie so I purposed this time to take. And when I told Sherp that I wanted to take the picture with the egg, she tought it was the ‘black egg’ but later she found out it was the bigger one behind! ahha…we had a great laugh!!

From there, we walked to London Tower. Very nice, it’s like a mini castle! Didnt went in, just took pictures from outside!

Signing off, will be going out now…bye!

reporting to base

hey, reporting my status - currently in London! Yay!!!! Had a great time, no pictures coz…lame excuse..

we flew to heathrow and just before landing, we had a manigficent view of the London popular spots. I saw the London Tower from the air, the London Eye, and also the palace! It was super!!!! Then, we landed in their new terminal - Terminal 5. It was so beautiful, so big and so new!!!

Custom check was very fast, the queue was fast - praise God. Waited for about 3 minutes and the custom check less than 2 min. Then we were out and the luggage arrived very fast. Was out by 30 minutes. Super fast! It’s so much faster than Moscow airport which at the custom check, we had to wait for more than an hour!!!!!!

Anyway, more cheerful things, bought the underground tickets and now is at home, safe and sound. Had homecooked dinner, thanks to yiyi, and a warm bath. Yay, and internet to use! Double super!

Signing off, need to sleep, will have a long day tmr!

going home

first step to go home, packing! So far, I’ve sorted out what to pack into luggage and also hand carry. Cant bring too much in case need to carry some stuff back from UK. :grin: actually, I planned to bring back most of my books that are not used anymore..hopefully can fit into the bag this time!

packing

This time, I’ll be flying with British Airways.

BA

It’s 4 hours flight to London and 13 hours flight to Singapore. Wah..13 hours!!! I really dislike flying so long. It’s the total hours of flight if i take emirates. To me, the best so far is Emirates. Of course alot of students will think Thai Airway is the best, I’ve not taken that so I cant comment. But I’ve heard a lot of great feedbacks on Thai Airways, they have direct Bangkok-Moscow. As for emirates, we need to transit in Dubai Airport.

emirates

yay, cant wait to go back home! One more week, and I’ll be home…home!!!! Scooby!!!! I wonder if he stil remmebers me!?! How abt Hei Gou? ahaha….lots to do this time, Passion Movement in KL, visitng church - CHC KL, DUMC, SIB KL and Hope Miri! And wedding to attend, friends to visit, family to meet… :lol:

Currently watching Jikou Keisatsu 2. It’s in the genre of comedy, I suppose. Maybe puzzles and mystery? One of the last Jap series available. Just got it from Ik before he left for home!! Can’t wait to go back, then can watch Forensic Heroes 2..before that need to copy from Piglet! :grin: or piglet’s sister!

sleepy girl

I’m sleepy, as I am typing, all I can think of is changing into my pjs and sleep! I did sleep well last night, maybe shorter sleeping hours than i should because today was my last paper. How did I do? OK, I guess. Result is coming out tmr.

Got my visa to go back home! Yay!!! Actually, at the moment, i want to take a picture of the visa but is too lazy…sleepy…zzz..Shall start packing tomorrow. Lots to do, cleaning the fridge, cleaning the room, mop, clear the cupboard, arrnage notes, clear unused notes, clearning my desk…wah………

I learnt a great lesson today. I was watching this great series Tentai Kansoku about friendship. One part really caught my attention is that, ‘do you treat someone depending on how they treat you?’ I am paraphrasing. But you get my point…do we treat someone well because they are treating us well? Or do we treat them well because we want too? Well, the ‘point’ in the series was abt love. Do you love someone and continue even tho he has stopped loving you? Anyway, just something to reflect, in friendships. Are we treating our friends because of how they are treating you? Or because you really are treating them as your friend? Do you stop caring for them when they stop caring for you? :wink:  kekeke…ok, there is definately something wrong with the grammer but you get my point, right? hoho!! But it’s our decision, before we begin the day, how are we going to treat the people around us, people we call our friends…

Just want to promote - do watch Tentai Kansoku, it’s such a great drama series!!! yay :razz:

As for now, I’m off to bed! Nitez!!!

sleepy girls

food that is yummy!

Exam time = balanced diet!

Did your parents ever tell you that you are supposed to it superly well durin exam time? Some parents will give ginseng drinks, chicken essence or bird nest?

As for me, thanks to KL, who made an extra for me, I get to enjoy really good food during this exam session. Of course it’s not everyday that I can have these food, it’s just once in a while. Other time it’s just milo and biscuit or maybe just nothing at all.

sandwich

Sandwich - vegetarian style, super yummy! Lettuce, tomatoes, stale bread, cheese - healthy lunch! Just one will make you full! :lol:

burgers

Fish burger. It’s yummy!! Yea, it’s 2 for me. haha, I couldnt finish at one go so only ate one and kept the other for breakfast. :wink:

strawberry ice-cream

 This I made myself, that is why it doest look as appealing as the previous. It’s just ice-cream with strawberries. Yummy!! I’ve been craving for strawberries since it was out but because it was superly expensive, about rm 30 perkg, so I didnt buy at all but since it’s only one week before leaving this place, I definately need to eat some. So, bought a few yet, it didnt taste as nice as I thought it could be. Maybe it wasnt that fresh, maybe my expectations are too high. But I really believe that fresh strawberries are very sweet and nice! :grin:

pelmini

one last one. Just made it today, it’s called Pelmini. Looks like wantan but the skin is a bit more harder and there is meat inside. Can try it, boil it, cook it with soup, spicy however you think you like. As for me, this time, it’s just pelmini with cucumber and sauce. My brunch.
