haacheww

Just finished my lunch with chicken and baked beans. Mmm.. delicious..



Oh did i mention? I cooked curry chicken on Saturday (pic above). Like one of those mum always cooked. Bcuz the curry paste is from msia!! Had it with rice and lettuce. Tasty food, coupled with the nostalgia of home.


Speaking of home, i shud really stop bawling all over my phone conversation with..... though. I ve been attending lecture with red eyes n pinkie noses these few times. Honestly, i hope to be home for Easter holiday. But i know it's just too costly. I don't know. I noe i shud not waste money, but being at home gives me lots of lots of happiness and pleasure. Can i be selfish for this? Im terribly homesick. N if u r wondering y am i planning for easter holi when christmas holi is not even here yet, it's bcuz i hope to gain advantage of the earlybird discount for air tickets.

Did nothing much productive on sunday. Not any academic work but spent my free time cooking more healthy food, cleaning my boots and shoes, wiping my shelves, arranging my books and wardrobe nicely. Oh, i realised that washing shoes is not an easy task. I shud appreciate it more when i hv kakak to wash my white school shoes every week.

N tat's the new member for my shoe 'rack. The one on the left end. It costed me 27 pounds hmm..
A clearer view of it.. Feel sorry to wear n dirty it..

Should have really started with revision since half of the term has passed. Gnawing guilt, has been procrastinatin n wanderin all the time. Being a superb dreamer now. Please, please make sure i m on the track of picking up my studies this week. Otherwise another beautiful week is gone. Hey but im going for nott games tis sat n oso halloween party tmr. Hehe. Let's see how adamant am i. Hv a nice day =)

fall of little snow flakes

Well, for this week, im bringin u my first snow in uk. It was on Tuesday afternoon, i was busily ploughing through my seminar readings. Then royce msged me n told me that it seemed that it was snowing outside. Immediately I turned my head to my little window, it was raining. When i looked clearly, i saw rain with little droplets of ice. N without warning, the ice droplets became snow, fluttering down from the white sky. The transition was just in split second.

I quickly took out my coat n grabbed my camera. I went down to see chiew yi and both of us ran out of the hall. People must be wondering why these two young girls stil went out despite it's snowing outside. But we couldnt care, we werent sure when will the nx snow come, nor for long will this snow lasts. We just couldnt miss the golden opportunity. Soon, we were busy taking photos for each other and camwhoring.

It was really cold. But the beauty of snow just overrode me.

But after a few minutes, I saw people around me. They were taking pictures too. Everyone was excited and White Christmas feel is in the air. The little garden looks so romantic, isnt it?

Grasses and leaves were no longer green..

Let's see where these icy footpaths wil bring us to..

My flat 87! N my little apple green brolly..

We din stay too long outside as it's really really cold. When i was back to my room, i sat down beside my little window n observed the whole picturesque. I cant find the right word to express this, but i was feeling very good. The snow came just in time. Just before that, i was rather depressed to hang up when i skype with my family. Amazing, i hv a kind of feeling where the snow was a gift of comfort for me, pleading me to be strong and positive. The trickles of snow led to a big grin on my face.


Snowing stopped in the evening, but snow was there to stay (cuz it takes time to melt). With the light effects now, it was even extremely beautiful. Picture contributed by royce..
Story of snow flakes to be continued..

Wednesday was cool. Went to late night shopping with royce. But before that we had dinner in xanana. Well, believe it or not, eating outside (even if it's on campus) is already a form of luxury to us. I ordered a baguette which costed me 5.95pounds! So u can see, it's really luxurious =( I have to apologize as no picture is provided bcuz i was too hungry tat nite. Gobbled up my food once it's in front of me. SHame on me, i noe.. Anyway, the nite marketing was quite riveting, except tat the horrible strong winds.

The nite actually ended up with a conversation with wendy, who woke up early in the morning to complete her assignment tasks. Wendy, muz gambate ya. N thx for the company, extremely when u r busy. Im also adapting to the new style of academic n social life here. However honestly, I think i need to open my eyes more. Ask more, venture more, plan more, and have myself instilled with greater determination. Stop wandering, stop procrastinating, stop wasting time, stop giving excuses etc etc.

The story of snow flakes continue. Undeniable, snowing made everyone excited. However, my worries began. It shouldnt be snowing in October. Does it mean the weather is changing? Oh dear.. Im struggling to withstand the cold of autumn, i really dont know how am i going to survive and withstand the negatives in winter.

This issue brought me to coventry 2 days later, which is the lovely Friday. Royce n me went to city center to get sum THICK winter coats to keep ourselves warm whilst the temperature is decreasing. Yet i din bring a coat back with me. Boots and tops instead. In the realm of financing, I was quite fed up with shopping with converting currencies, as the result wil always end up with the costly GBP.. Nevertheless, shopping was fun. At least, homesickness n loneliness were banished aside.

Well, it's currently saturday morning n i really hv to start working on my assignments, readings and exercises again. Am feeling rather guilt-ridden and terrible cuz i ve been spending extraordinary much tis week. N doing nthing much productive in terms of my academic studies. But im happy. I promise i ll budget properly for the nx few weeks. Time for bed, n i ll start working on my to do list tmr. Sweet dreams ^-^

im hvin tvb in my arms again

Time whizzed so fast. It has been few days more than a month since i left my home sweet home. Can i regard it as I ve survived my first month here.. despite there's a lot of cryin involved..

Frankly speaking, I still miss the comfort of home, esp with the daylight saving, time differs by 8 hours now, n im feeling further n further from home. But the good news is that, crying stopped for few days ade (3 days i think). So hey, pizza, i kept my promise :D From all your messages, I would like to apologise as I made pinkie feelings and pinkie spliiling in the pinkie closet a sad place for these few weeks. N im making everyone worried. Sorry. Stimes the whole tidal wave of negative emotions just shooshed up and made me cry. But for some reasons, Im in a good track of gettin thru all the circumstances.

Firstly, i hv to thank JL for showing me the light to my happiness. He got a nice website for me where i can stream n watch TVB dramas LEGALLY! Yes, I was extremely crazy n almost cried blissfully when i saw all my tvb idols again. Oh dear, is tis going to make my blog looks like yong's blog??


At least watching dramas is steering me away from the feeling of being lonely here. Yes i know what u r thinkin, i promise that i ll control myself so that im not too addicted to it ok ( i am, actually).. So now, im enjoying watchin my favourite 'ur class or mine' by the never fails to humour, joker bobby au yong n deng tsui man..


I drew up my plan where later i ll watch moonlight resonance and also the gem of life, and also forensic heroes II. Wow.. so excited to mention about tvb dramas. I duno if i can reveal the url address here (cuz pinkiecloud's blog is not for advertisements), but well, if u want to know, email me personally =P

On a happy note, Im glad that I am going home for Christmas. I ve confirmed both my flight and coach ticket. So everything is settled and pinkiecloud is awaitin u guys to hold banners to welcome her home at terminal M on the 7th of Dec k.. Hehe.. I do wish to spend my holiday to tour UK n experience Christmas here, but I wish even more to go home to see my family and frens, eat well, sleep well and be happy again. Nevertheless, im stil not in my best moods. I know i shud be happy and stop complainin bcuz there r some poor souls out there who r going home after 10 months overseas.

I felt blessed that despite being away from home, I still have a big bunch of friends whom i can turn to whenever i need help. Thank you to tony n robin for being kind so share a cab with me yesterday. N also to angeline, who's a bruneian gal who spotted the whole splash of homesickness over my face n gave me a good dose of moral support. Though tis' the first time i met her. I would say almost everyone is helpful and friendly. Though there were bad situations, but im grateful that there r good ones too. Jz like wat ying said, it rains b4 the rainbow. I know that the world is still nice and pretty. Just like the paper flowers i did during craft on wed.



However, I am running out of groceries. Or rather, im lazy to do grocery shoppin. Keke.. These few days, I ve been having canned sardines, baked beans n sum ready made food for my meals. Although these are amongst my all-time favourite food in the world, some change would do me good. N esp that all these r unhealthy. N pinkiecloud doesnt want to get sick. Fine, fine, fine, i ll go to tesco nx week n stock up my groceries.
N i couldnt belief that we r having 5 times of fire alarms in 4 weeks! Omg.. Out of 5, onli 1 is actually a drill. It is really annoying.. Jz keeping my fingers crossed that fire alarms wil never ring when im having my shower. I wouldnt know what to do.
In the realm of emotions, im stil adaptin but i am improving. Thanx for all ur support and encouragement. I dun mind u guys spamming my chatbox either. I enjoy reading all ur messages, n though it might jz be a simple msg with one or two lines, it does make a difference.

to pizza chow

Im sorry im crying again today, and tonight. Im trying very hard to control, but it's really very difficult mar.. Im sorry la, I oso dowan to be hampau jeng like chong kar yan, but i want to be as sweet n pretty as her. I promise i ll try my very very very best to overcome everything ok?

I stil remember one of the silly games that we usually play in class during school time. We always compete to see who's the first one to be able to hv their tears dropping first. Usually either u or lin will win the game, n everytime i ll be the last person, n not even able to hv tears even more than 1 hours was given to me. BUt i guess if we hold the same competition again now, i ll surely win le.. Cuz yunyun is really like hampau jeng now.. Should grab tis opportunity to go for actin audition now..

Dun nag at me anymore la.. (though it's very motivatin..). I ll really 'dik hei sam gon' in order to learn to be strong n tough. I noe im very lucky compared to u (cuz u onli go back after 8 months in aussie), so i muz be grateful n be happy lor.. Yalar, i wil de la..

N to everybody, i promise, i ll keep my tears and learn to stand firmly on my own feet. The scenary is very beautiful here.. See.. The trees r waving 'hello' to u..

As what mum said, i shud be grateful that i hv the opportunity to be in such a beautiful, enchanting, lovely environment.


Trees with orangie-red leaves..

N to ying, sorry la as i complained bout u in my blog, but im really glad to have ur company last night. Thank you very very much ying. Happy holi to u.

lai lai han

Pig jeng was so kind to chat with me last nite, at least she waited for me to cook n eat my dinner as well as to bathe. However, she is oso cruel bcuz she doesnt help me to realise my wish. I wanted to watch 'yu dek tong hang' with her, cuz i really really miss tvb, but she couldnt help me, she's not willing to get a webcam for me.. N she even made me so kan jiong by saying kok juin onn is very jin kak in the episode. Guys, scold her for me.. She made me cry last nite.

I shud be studyin now. After the person who promised to turn up didn =( That's the horrible time difference's goodwill. So i came bloggin here. Actually I wanted to study n determined to study but most of the time i just couldnt concentrate. THe readings werent going into my mind, n i also kept procrastinating. Haizz.. U noe la, online, chit chat, eat eat sum tidbits, cook cook sum food for tea time, taking breather, sleep, clean up my room, lai lai han etc etc. Time passed so fast doing these activites. Then the work has to be delayed ade.

Im not sure, these dancing thoughts keep gesturing n i couldnt focus on what i should. Oh dear. Is it that im not prepared to study mentally? O is it bcuz of homesick? O is it jz that im lazy.. Herher.. i duno y. DO u guys hv such experience..

pinkiecloud is angry

Pinkiecloud is angry bcuz pinkie daddy n pinkie mummy doesnt allow her to change to day flight due to security reasons. This is bcuz the day flight requires pinkiecloud to go to bus station after midnight.

Arrggh...
