Intro post

-

Hello hello! Welcome to my humble blog.

I am a very humble person wtc*.

I am a working holidaymaker from Malaysia and currently struggling in UK. This blog will be the place to jot down my journey in UK or if I am lucky, Europe as well.

This blog was supposed to be "launched" once I reached London but as usual I was too depressed to do anything about it. Things have been difficult but I am still in one piece typing this entry now -.-.

For people who care or maybe curious- NO, I haven't got a job yet. Went for tons of interviews with recruitment agency and different companies but still...there's nothing T_T I wouldn't deny that I am disappointed - Super disappointed actually...

I've started to feel stress becoz I am running out of $$$. The rent here is expensive as well as the transport. I was so stressed that I couldn't eat and sleep well -_-. It never happened to me since long time ago, couldn't eat? Can you imagine that happening to me -_-.

Anyway, I have had many dramatic days in London and I believe there are more to come. So stay tune and I shall update frequently (I hope la..hahaha).

Okay, let's tell you one of the dramatic stories. Today I went for an interview in the city. I took a bus but the traffic was so bad I have to get down the bus and walked super duper far to the nearest tube station. It's alright I tell myself - be strong be tough and smile. So I took the tube and reached the place and it started to drizzle. I walked for 15-20 minutes yet I still couldn't find the place. I kneeled down to open my bag and get my umbrella ...guess what? My bra strap loosen! I wanted to laugh out loud. I was 10 minutes away from the interview yet I was stucked at nowhere holding a almost broken umbrella and with the fear of something might fall out from the shirt I am wearing (you know what) -_-. I was almost blown away by the strong wind and wanted to give up at the end but thank GOD (Guan Yin in this case), I made it to the interview. AND I am feeling a bit sick now coz of the rain -_-, wtc. HOW? drama or not?

*wtc = what the crab. Wanted to use wtf but I guess it's way too rude, told you I am a nice person...wahahah.

Oh, and please say hi to me if you are here =)

Hey Mei,

I just found your blog (after googling for something else) and went thru it thoroughly since it's still quite small in size. =p

I have to tell you that you're a very very vain girl but I totally love you for that because you're very open about it.

Nevermind that you think you are lacking in confidence, but you have no idea how BIG your courage is.

I admire your strength to carry own. Some girls will just cry and take the first plan home.

Don't give up, ever. Things will get better .... as I can already see.

Mei, like you said, if this doesn't kill you, it will def make you stonger.

Good luck!

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
