I was a WHM too, finished April this year...and now still in london on long holiday. Your bed bug problem....won't just go away without any action. Complain to ur landlord and get them to do something. I suffered for 2 months and it was only then they get professional to fumigate the place. Landlord will have to replace ur mattress, pillow, duvet etc. That's only way to rid it completely.

There is no need for you to be down due to the following reasons.

1. You have a job
2. You will have money soon to survive in this city
3. Your family and friends are doing fine in Malaysia.
4. You can always text your boyfriend telling him how much you love him and i am very sure he is having lovesickness as well.

If a jobless me can be positive in facing this plight and why can't you?

Life is too short to be wasted on worries! Look around, and i am sure you can find something that make you smile if you try not to let your pessimistics nature blindfold your eyes.

Cheers!

siang loong: But it's only Autumn now @_@ I gotta wait till Feb 08. Thanks for the encouragement anyway, appreciate that =)

Bee Khim: So when are you going back? They actually sprayed our room few weeks ago but the bed bugs are still around! I just got bitten yesterday and my right hand is swollen now -.-

Gu Gu FY: Yes. I have a job but I think it takes time to adapt a new environment and the ppl around. You gotta buck up too! Especially when you just bought 2 pairs of nice shoes!!

15 and 16: The bosses and colleagues in the UK are much more easy going than those in Malaysia. The bosses don't treat their staffs as staff but friends. At least that was what I had experienced from the past 2 summers. So not to worry about them.

20. 30 pounds will be enough since all bills and transport had been covered as long as you don't eat out. Life like a student for a month =P

mrbherng: yeah...they are okay. The working life is more relax as compared to Malaysia. What did you do for your summers?

20 pounds -.- that's for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I am not sure how long it can last.

Was attached to a company in the first summer and was attached to a hospital last summer.

20 pounds?? you can... Sainsbury basic cornflakes( 29p) and milk (~1.30) for breakfast. Self made sandwiches for lunch (bread ~50-80p, lettuce ~40p, ham ~ 2.00, butter - you should have it) dinner just spaghetti and some vege (spag ~70p, vege~ depends on what you buy, sauces ~2.00[forget about the use within 3 days once open... keep it properly and it will be fine]) So that will last for a week or a bit more... that's not a lot. Worst come to worst, leech on your friends =P

I am not sure if you read my blog. But, I want to write this out. I've been holding back my feelings and emotions because I don't want to put all the blames on you. It has been 5 months plus since I knew about your existence. I will never forget how I find out about you on his birthday. How you've tried so hard to contact him although you know clearly that he's with me so far away from Malaysia. How shaky was I when I find out about his betrayal. I put all the blames on him at the very beginning. He knows that he's a man with a gf but still he has chosen to betray me to be with you. It's his fault for not being honest and loyal enough. I was heartbroken, I know things will never be the same again. Do you know when I started to have hatred towards you? When you kept calling and smsing him at night - Europe time. Knowing that I will definitely be next to him. Sending intimate sms to him begging for his return. I know you were sad because he's no longer

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

[Jordan] Wadi Mujib Reserve, Siq Trail

I didn't have any expectation for Wadi Mujib Reserve. I thought it would just be another ordinary water trekking trail under scorching sun. Yes, it's summer now in Jordan and we have just experienced 40°c a couple of days ago in the desert 😣 It was only at the Wadi Mujib Reserve Centre that we realised it's an adventurous trail with high water level and strong water current. In fact, it's canyoning that we need to do: climb, wade, abseil and swim at certain places! I was reluctant at first due to the hot weather and had doubts if I could complete the trail. But hubby was keen and my father in law is going too (he is in his 70s!), so there really was no excuse for me not to. My father in law who is an avid traveller and photographer The trail started with a climb down a rock. From here, the water level got higher as you walk/wade deeper into the canyon. At one point, I was almost swept away by the strong water current. I grabbed the rope as tightly as I can a
