Back to London ~

Yes, after 1 week + of non-stop traveling - I am back to London. I miss London so much. At least I don't have any communication problems here -_- Summary of my trip: Berlin - Lovely people and nice (cheap) local food. Oh, and the so famous Berlin Wall. Prague - This is the most beautiful country out of the 4 Vienna - Gosh, people that I've met are rude, things are expensive and I even argued with an old man in the toilet (will elaborate about this when I have time)!!! Don't think I will go back again. Budapest - Something different compare to other central Europe countries. Really old buildings, underground & etc etc. I enjoyed walking in the biggest market. No time to write a longer entry, I will leave London again tomorrow morning. Sorry as I have no time to reply to comments & chat msgs. You can email me at slimmestleg@gmail.com . I will be damn free to reply your email @ the beginning of Nov....haha..sleeping time.

Hiya!!!!!!!!! Greetings from Prague =)

How's everyone doing? I am using the hostel Internet now. Typing slowly coz I need to figure out the keys on the keyboard (Czech keyboard.. -____- ) By the way, I got bitten again ..this time my left ear is swollen. WHY? I have asked myself that question so many times -___-. I got to go now. We will be heading to the Prague Castle. Have a great Sunday everyone!

Very busy ...

Today is my last working day in London! Thursday I will be off to Berlin following by 2 weeks travelling. Have shipped some of my stuffs back to Malaysia. Now I am busy preparing my upcoming trips - have to do lots of research - tiring. But from tomorrow onwards, I don't have to wake up early for work...something to look forward to =). Sorry about the bits and pieces...I am just too busy...(yes, it's an excuse :p)

Bed Bugs are Back!

Forgive me for not blogging properly. With the return of my "best friends", I have no mood time to blog. I CAN'T WAIT to ENTERTAIN them and make sure they go to hell home happily. Especially when they have brought me lovely gifts - 5 bites on my left hand, 2 bites on the right hand and 2 bites on my right leg. How can I not thank them in return!!! So kind of them to visit me at the beginning of this chilly autumn. They must have been thinking by lingering on me in the midnight will warm me up. Pierces through my skin to injects its saliva and suck my blood to ensure that I won't oversleep. Leaving me with red itchy lumps love marks to represent its undying love. Love that has been following me since my arrival in London. Oh, how can I not be touched?! I can't stop cursing missing them every time I scratch caress the lumps love marks. I can't wait to tell the whole world I hope you will rot in hell love you! I can't wait to squeeze you to death to s

Bitten by Bugs Again!

Yes, this time is my left hand. It's swelling now and I can't stop scratching it. My hand is painful and stiff when I try to move it. It seems like I am loved by the insects here. I have done all I can do, cleaned the bed sheets, changed my pillowcase and vacuum my sleeping area. The bug is still around and I have no idea how does it look like. This is worse than my previous bed bugs case -_-. Will be back when I feel like typing more. Tired. I have taken the antihistamine tablet that makes me feel drowsy and sleepy. Nitez all.

A Bad Week for Me

Sometimes I do wonder how not-so-good-things (I don't want to say bad coz I know I am luckier than many ppl in this world!) can happen to me all at once. 1. Bitten by mysterious bugs - My right hand was swollen and I couldn't stop scratching my hand. It was so itchy that I scratched my hand subconsciously while I was sleeping. The red blotches started to spread the next day and I was forced to take medicine. It's better now but my left hand is still scratching my right hand (why does this sound so wrong -_-?). I realised I am so prone to being bitten by bugs in London - beg bugs, spiders & all kind of weird bugs. I don't know why. The only explanation is - London hates me. Actually my cousins experienced the same thing as well but I am always the one with serious allergy. 2. Hostelworld Booking error - I was surfing Hostelworld for the past few days and realised their system has a very serious bug. If you open Hostelworld in multiple windows at the same time

About Relationship~

Haha, I just digged out one of my draft entries and decided to publish it since I have written more than 2 paragraphs..Don't waste ma... I've been thinking a lot recently, about what's happening around me, about the world, about love, about life ... the list goes on. My body and mind are tired, I know it's time to go to bed but I really wana write something. The urge to voice out what's on my mind is too strong T_T. BUT please forgive me if you don't know/understand what I am writing next. Few days ago, I was being told that one of my good friend just broke up with her bf. They were together for 4 years and now ended up walking different paths. I know some of you will tell me time will never be the main reason of a break up, there are many couples/husband & wife that go separate ways even after being together for more than 10 years. I was just wondering what's the reason given by the person who initiates to part ways, "we are not meant

Visited Countries

Image
visited 15 states (6.66%) Apparently, I've only been to 15 countries and only 6.66% out of the total. I am almost sure that, there won't be a 100% for me. There are places that I will never consider of going ... (but it will be a different saying if I am being sponsored =p). Being a working holiday maker has allowed me to travel to many Europe countries and I am glad I have taken up the opportunity. Just a little sad that I won't have enough time to leave my footprints in all the Europe countries. There are things and people in Malaysia that are holding me back. It's just time for me to go home after leaving my country for almost a year. Counting down ... to the day I am a free man/woman again - 22 days to the day for my undone Europe trip - 24 days to the day someone will be here - 38 days to the day for my 2nd part of the undone Europe trip but this time, with you - 40 days to the day I bid farewell to London - 53 days to the day I step on my home soil once again - 55

Tonight, I Have A Date with ....

Myself~ Fei has gone out for a date and CJ is in Cardiff now. So I am home alone! I am actually suspecting it should be flat alone instead of home alone. Seeing that my neighbors downstairs have just moved out few days ago (they scolded us elephant -__-!) and the neighbors upstairs are not around (if they are, we can hear them walking around - like elephant..ahem, you should be able to get what the whole elephant thingy means...hahaha). BUT, I am feeling absolutely fine! So don't sympathize with me, especially on this miserable rainy day -_-. I have good plans ahead to date myself -__-. Dinner: - Leftover Pork Chop rice with gravy from last night - Home cooked white fish soup with lettuce (of course by me~) - Sweet and sour prawn balls! Argh...can't wait to eat them all. I have set a target to settle all my house chores before touching the food. I have to clean the bathroom, wash the floor mats and vacuum the flat. After that, it will be my home alone time, I am already thinki

SORRY!!!

For the lack of updates. I was off sick from work for 2 days and also busy planning for my October trip. My days in London are numbered so I have a lot to do before I leave. I have to go out for grocery shopping now. Should be able to sneak in blogging tonight. Stay tuned!

Travel Pass for DOG?

Image
One fine day, I was loitering around Arth Goldau station while waiting for the train to Milan. Arth Goldau station (Switzerland) is a small train station in a rural area - nothing to scream about. BUT, as the usual busybody, I managed to find something new (at least new to me -_-). Can you see anything special? Something that we will never see in Malaysia -_-? That's it!! Day Pass for Dogs -_-. Apparently, you have to pay for your dogs to bring them with you on the train. How much does it cost? CHF 32.00/Switzerland Francs. It's enough to pay for your weekly car petrol. BTW, CHF 32.00 = 15.92 pounds = RM 98.48. Bear in mind, it's only a day pass -_-. One last question: Does that mean the dog is entitled a seat in the train?! Any idea? ~It is not down in any map; true places never are - Herman Melville ~

I am having PMS!

Sorry, no mood to update, having PMS, can't help it. Everything seems to be wrong - people who walk slowly in front of me, the summer-like-winter weather, the list of Paris hotels that make me headache, the crowded tube, the Converse I wanted to buy no longer selling on Amazon, have to drag myself up at 6am tomorrow morning & etc etc ... Although everything go according plan ... I still can't help to be frustrated . I will be away for the long weekend, heading to Edinburgh and Loch Ness. Hopefully I can get to see the legendary lake monster -____-. Have a great weekend all! ~Anger is a killing thing: it kills the man who angers, for each rage leaves him less than he had been before - it takes something from him - Louis L'Armour~

Guess what is my favourite color?

Isn't it obvious? P.S. ETNG, I've fixed it!

Love hurts, but why are you still holding on?

This afternoon (during lunch time okay, I didn't curi malas), I was browsing through blogs and I came across a love quote on my friend's blog. "Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." - C.S. Lewis My first response after reading the quote - "I'd choose to be vulnerable even though I know it will hurt. If my heart will be broken, so, be it then." Love hurts because there is no such thing as a perfect relationship. We fall in love, we argue, we get hurt, we patch things up or we break apart with incurable scars - be i

What to eat and drink in Barcelona ~

Image
edit: I realized it is not a short entry anymore after I completed the whole entry T_T It will be a very short entry because I didn't spend much on food and I really regret I didn't bring enough Euros. Tapas! Appetizers in Spain with 100 over varieties. Be it cold or hot dish. Usually the people in Spain will have a pint of beer and a few Tapas dishes before dinner. Go for seafood dishes and if you don't fancy seafood, they have olive and cheese as well. Sipping wine/drinking beer and eating tapas at the same time, it's a great pleasure in life;) Paella A rice dish cook in a frying pan with key ingredients such as rice, olive oil, saffron, vege, meat and seafood. From what I observed, most of the restaurants in Barcelona offer Seafood Paella. Oh, do you know that I love seafood? That's why Paella is a MUST-TRY for me in Spain. Especially squid! Therefore, I ordered the Arroz Negro Paella which is the Black squid ink rice. If you are not as adventurous as me

The recent me & First stop in Barcelona ~

Image
I was being emo the past few days after reading my old blog. 4 years ago, I had so many close friends and now ... haiz. That's why I was emo la -_-, just feel like staying at home and reminisce the past (I know I sound like an old woman but I can't help it T_T). Do you understand the feeling of looking back and realized how much you have changed throughout the few years? I was going through that process and I feel old ... -_- Okay enough craps. 1st stop of the 9-day-trip, I present you Barcelona - the second largest city in Spain. 3am in the morning. I only had 1 hour sleep. The price to pay for cheap air ticket - the earlier the cheaper -_-. That's life, things are always cheaper when there's less demand. Tadah! I was on easyjet . I am not being paid for this okay (not like I have lotsa traffic also -_-). I really think they are okay for budget airline at least there was no delay. After 2 and a half hours - I was in Spain! Plaça Catalunya the main commercial area

A Few Backpacking Tips

Image
We backpacked for 9 days and managed to learn a fair bit from our experience. I've jotted down some points that I would like to share with you guys about backpacking. I hope you find it useful! 1) Time Zone Always check the time difference before you depart. This is very important as you might miss your next flight/train ride/coach if you referred to the wrong timing! Especially when you have to travel to a few countries with different time zone. PLEASE take note of daylight saving as well! 2) Transport ( you can ignore this, if you know how to fly..ahahaha) - Transport to travel to another country: e.g. plane, train or coach If you are traveling from UK, you can check out the following sites - • http://www.easyjet.com , http://www.ryanair.com (budget airlines) • http://www.raileurope.co.uk (by rail) • http://www.nationalexpress.com/eurolines/home/hp.cfm (coach) If you find some of the tickets expensive, do consider to look for tickets that require transit, the

Where did I go?

Image
Edit: the blog is a bit messy now, will do something about it when I am home -_- I was there, there, there and there: So messy. I doubt you know where I went for my holidays -_-. So ... I am back to London T_T Life doesn't stop here, I still have to go to work everyday till end of Sept T_T. Before landing ... to show you which budget airline I go for..hohoho Sorry, no pics from the trip yet coz most of them are with Abi. I am still waiting for him to transfer everything to my external hard disk. We have taken more than 2,000 photos in 9 days...have to la since we spent a fortune on the trip!!! Have to take kao kao and capture all the scenes to cover back what we paid, darn kiasu I know -_-. Anyway, I've bought something for the crabs. I can't help it when I saw them in Venice. They are made from the famous Murano Glass in Venice. Extremely fragile, damn pressure to carry back to London - it doesn't end here coz I still have to bring them back to MY T_T...but for the cra

Back to London ...

after a 9-day trip that consist of 3 flights, 3 train rides and 4 hotels/hostel at 4 locations in 3 countries. One word to conclude all - EXHAUSTED! Just didn't know how much I missed London till I landed on this land again ... More updates...

Last but not least ...

I am in my most anticipated city. A place that I always want to visit. Hopefully it's as lovely as I've thought it is. Many people encourage others to get lost in all the small alleys and to take the gondola around the city. I got my first impression of this place from a music video - Gareth Gates - Anyone Of Us. The Venetian masks and costumes are so attractive =)! Two more days to go and I will be back to the capital of England and UK...yeah and the reality =( Have a great weekend!

I am in...

the Fashion City where I can find most of the famous designer brands =) But no £$£$£$£$£$ to purchase anything. Guess I will have lotsa pasta and pizza for the upcoming days. It's already Thursday, one more day to go and it will be weekend again. I hope you are already feeling the hype over the weekend. One more place to go and I will see you in London again.

Weather Forecast ...

predicts that there are scattered showers for 2 days. When you are reading this, there's a big possibility I am walking through the rain with my Disneyland rain poncho on me. Zurich doesn't sound like a happening place but I can't wait to witness the beauty of Swiss Alps in the train when I head to the next destination. Sometimes I do wish I have a good DSLR camera so that I can capture all the wonders around me. Travelling makes me feel that I am so small in this world =) A tiny human. 2 days... and where am I going next?

Where am I now?

If everything goes smoothly, I should be standing on the ground of Spain's second largest city now. How's everyone doing? What are your plans for the weekend? No matter what I hope you will have a great one. Can't wait to stroll around the city and look at Antoni Gaudi's work. I will leave this city in 3 days. Where's next? Stay tuned =)

I am leaving London ...

in 6 hours time. Very very tired and sleepy now. Wana find out where I am heading? You will know tomorrow =) Have a great weekend! P.S. Miss Fei, please take good care of our territory~

French learns to speak Cantonese ...

Before Chantara left, we decided to teach him some useful Cantonese so that he won't be bullied -_- (yeah, I know we are nice friends..hohoho). Before you watch the following videos, you need to take note that: - Chantara only knows how to speak French, English and a little bit of Mandarin - You have to know English & Cantonese to comprehend what we are saying - You have to listen carefully to catch our words because of the noisy background voice Last but not least, the following videos are just for fun =) Enjoy! ... Normally we don't swear okay...we are good kids! P.S. Just remember no matter what happened, it's not the end of the world. You always have some where to go and some one to turn to. Cheer up and stand tough. ~ I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars - Og Mandino ~ (How true, you won't be able to see the stars if there's no darkness =)) edit: Spice it up http://forum.laven

I am exhausted ...

Image
edit: Spice it up http://forum.lavenusworld.com/ because I cried too much yesterday. I cried for an hour yesterday, pilling up used/wet tissues on my table, released quite an amount of water from my body, had my eyes swollen and I was so tired. ALL BECAUSE OF a silly love drama -_-. I couldn't believe it as well, how I got so emotional attached to the story. Perhaps I am lacking of love chemistry in my life @_@. Sorry for not updating, I have been a liar for many times and I am not afraid to admit it because that is me T_T. boohoo, please accept me for who I am, I know you will...hahaha. Anyway, life has been the same: - went for theater the first time in London. The Lord of the Rings is amazing! At first, I couldn't imagine how they can summarize 3 movies into a 3-hour-play on stage but surprisingly they did a great job. I was amazed by the technology and stage effects. I have no regrets paying 20 pounds for the ticket and we even agree that we wouldn't mind paying more fo

haha, I am so addicted to ...

all the lovey-dovey Taiwanese series. Oh, I just can't help it. Sorry I am not updating everyday because I am too busy watching series online. They are influencing me so much you couldn't believe it. I am feeling so much better about life after watching them...haha. I know it's just a show but it triggers something inside me that makes me feel like being in love again =) I will update more tonight=)

惡作劇2吻 They Kiss Again

Image
edit again: After watching more episodes, I realised is not the girl that is lucky, is the guy. He is fortunate to have a girl that's loving him unconditionally. edit: I am going to watch It started with a kiss tonight!!! Yesterday I told myself: To sleep at 11pm - Failed To read some blog revamp related articles - Failed To cheer up - Failed To make a hot drink for myself due to the cold weather - Failed To enjoy the remaining time in UK before I leave - Failed To contact my friends - Failed To stop isolating myself - Failed haiz, how la like that? All because I ended up watching 惡作劇2吻 online T_T- the famous Taiwanese series. You know there's something about watching series, once you started you can't stop. I got so addicted to it I kept watching until 1am -_-. There were 20 episodes and guess what, I watched the first one, half of second and then skipped the rest straight to the last episode...wahahha. Come on la, I know the guy and the girl will live happily together no

Words of the Day

Have you stopped learning?

Image
Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been thinking a lot recently ... okay, I admit I am just too lazy to write...wahaha. Anyway, I am still well and in one piece. Things I've done for the past few weeks: - went for a Organ Gala Concert (it was OKAY though I did yawn a few times T_T. The play was good it's just the lack of artistics appreciation in me *shy*) - went to Wimbledon, saw Rafael Nadal & Roger Federer - did lotsa research for the trip end of this month (will let you know where I am going, if you are interested) - went to the Emirates Stadium just to take pictures of the Arsenal logo - sleep, eat, shit and my tummy is growing like I am pregnant now -____- I am really thinking a lot recently, I realised I have stopped learning since I left uni/started working. I do learn new stuffs at work but the learning I am saying here it's to master something new that's not related to my job at all. It's a very sad case that I don't really have a hobby now (s

Daddy's Little Girl ...

that's what I am feeling today =). Used my dad's supplementary credit card to purchased something online coz I left mine at home. I asked him whether I should transfer the money to his account or pay him back when I am home (reason being, he used to say it's better to keep the money in UK coz of the higher interest). Daddy's reply "For your dec birthday la"... I am damn touched lor T_T. I couldn't remember when was the last time I used my parents money - not that I want to, it's just that it was so long ago I couldn't remember how was the feeling of being pampered and sheltered like I was a little kid. I am financially independent since I started working and I know that I should be contributing to the family instead of asking money from my parents. So, it feels really good to be treated like my parents little girl again =) P.S. Later on, evil me was thinking I should have swiped for another item before sending my dad the sms telling him the amount

Being Twenty Something ...

Image
Do you know that it actually takes a lot of courage (or maybe stupidity - I never thought of the consequences) to be where I am now? I am never a brave person so I have to be honest to you I am actually damn scared now T_T. When I am here shielding myself from reality, most of my peers in Malaysia are getting closer to their targets in life with excellent career prospects, financially stable, getting married, forming a family and so on ... Then I w ill start querying myself - wtf am I doing here -_-? I start to wonder what I will be facing when I am back to MY. I knew from the beginning that, once I made up my mind to be here I should have had prepared myself for the worst when I go home. But still, I can't help to be worried T_T. Career, relationship, money & etc etc, I don't feel like I am standing firm on the ground now. Everything just seem so unpredictable. I still don't have a decisive direction for my career and I am missing my ex-colleagues/best friends a

World Naked Bike Ride ~ la la la

I know what is on your mind now. It's obvious that the title leads you here and makes you continue reading this entry, don't deny it -_-! My entries have been lacking of photos recently. So to make up for it I am gonna bring you something happening! Nevertheless, this is only for 18 and above. If you are below 18, sorry la - please detour to somewhere else or else don't blame me if the following corrupts your mind -_- (anyway, I don't think my readers are that pure and innocent...trust me, this is a compliment..hahaha). Last Sat, me and cousins decided to tour around London. What? I know I have been staying here for like 8 months ++ but it doesn't mean that I know London that well -_-. Just like I haven't been up to KL twins tower before T_T. Anyway, we went to Hyde Park for the World Naked Bike Ride. YES, NAKED bike ride. People are doing this annually for the purpose of getting people to pay attention on certain issues - encourage ppl to cycle instead of drivi
