Takda Internet Connection ...

I won't be updating as frequently as last time (not like I always do -______-) coz there's no Internet connection at my current place. I am now blogging from work and I have to do it surreptitiously. No pictures coz I can't even plug my USB to my PC - it just doesn't allow me to do so T_T I know I know beri sad right. Sorry, if I didn't reply ur msn messages, blog comments, facebook msgs and emails - I am really not in the mood (sounds so arrogant right hmmm...) in other words, I am very very down at the moment. I just need some time to get over this ... although I doubt I will be able to make it ...

Geramnya!

I've been receiving emails from different ppl asking me questions about Working Holiday Maker. I wouldn't mind at all and I am happy to help but when you were being asked the same question for more than 10 times, wouldn't you be annoyed? Plus, you can find most of the answers from the vfs website. (but of course, if you are my friend, I won't mind at all...wahahahaha *hint* - at least introduce yourself first, before bombarding me with lotsa questions!) The most frequently asked questions: 1) How much should I bring? I have X amount of money is that enough? I've answered this X amount of times and I believe it's being stated clearly on the website - as long as the money you have is enough to sustain all your expenses in UK for the first 2 months. I can only tell you the rough expenses in London but if you are looking to go somewhere else, you will really have do some research yourself. 2) I am working as XXX in Malaysia/ I have X years working experience in X fi

Will be back soon ...

Sorry for not updating. Been busy doing flat hunting coz my current contract ends on the 28th of April *sweat* Will try to update asap once I settle down at the new place. Please continue supporting my blog T_T You should be receiving your postcards in 2 weeks time - yeah, you know I am telling you..lol. 3point8 I didn't receive your address, so no postcard for you eh. Till then, take care and all the best! Luv, Mei

Half Year Anniversary ... in London

Image
Yesterday marked the half year anniversary of me being in London. Time flies like nobody's business without considering my fear of growing old T_T Oct 2007 Landed in London and can't wait to fulfill my travel dreams. Everything look so good! Shifted thrice, from the mini-tiny hostel room to a private studio and ended up in a houseshare with a room that fits 3. Spent most of my savings on accommodation. Experienced having bread and water as lunch. Steal Took the toilet roll from the public loo. Squeezed lotsa Mayo & Ketchup from the bottles in the fast food restaurant when we had our cheap meals so that we can bring the extras home. (can you imagine that T_T) Went for 3-4 job interviews and secure none. Emotion was like a roller coaster. Home sick, love sick and with worries of running out of cash. Nov 2007 Still jobless, started doubting my decision to be here - why did I make such a stupid decision and come here to suffer!!! Badly bitten by bed bugs. Went to the hospi

Today is Snow Day ...

8am. Discovered it was snowing when I was on my way to the loo for my morning pee...lol Backyard Unbelievable. It is April now -_- Still in shocked stage. Is this true or am I dreaming? Picture time! Stupid me wearing slippers -_-. My feet were so numb after a few minutes. It's like a dream or a scene in the movie. Can you imagine when you are sleeping and outside is snowing silently? Snow piling up. snow man =) I am satisfied. At least, I get to see snow in London where I am staying now and not through travelling or skiing =) ~Maybe part of loving is learning to let go - From the television show The Wonder Years ~

Do You Want a Postcard from Me ...

Image
With my signature on it! wahahaha...I know I have thick face and not like I am a celebrity but I've been wanting to do this since this long ago? But I am damn scared, what if no one participates -_-? Then the last resort will be me participating my own contest ... boohoo. Anyway, I am doing this because I am too free have a stack of postcards in my drawer collecting dust and I wana know my readers. Especially what they think about my blog and how can I improve? Plus, comments do encourage me to blog more frequently. So, if you wana receive a postcard mailed by me from London, please read on ~ Nuff said, let's get to the point, the rules are simple and straight forward: 1. You have to be a human...hahaha (don't whack me). Ok ok, I am serious now. You just need to leave comments and tell me what do you think about my blog. Remember, it has to be about my blog NOT me -_- (don't judge me by my blog, I am much nicer in real life...ha ha). 2. You can only post the comment o

Some Random Facts That will Bore you to Death

Image
I've gonna pause writing on my trips for a while. Too many travel entries will bore you right? (ok lah...I gotta be honest, I am too lazy to edit all the photos -_-) So this post is gonna be all about me! So if you are not interested...in me, please skip this entry -_-. To be frank, I quite like writing random facts because it's easy to write and I don't have to do lotsa research (not like I do it all the time =p) plus others can know me better. Wouldn't it be good knowing the real and innocent me *cough* Anyway, some random facts and updates: 1) Guess my age? wtf. I am way past my early 20s T_T 2) My favourite food is still Japanese cuisine. There is a very nice Japanese restaurant near my place called Sushi Say. It is now my top favourite Japanese restaurant in London. Yo! Sushi really cannot make it. 3) I finally bought a pair of trainers that I've been longing for since form 5? I won't tell you that was how many years ago -_-! ( I can't believe I've
