Leaving on a Jet Plane..

Firstly, I would like to wish my brother who is currently studying in Aussie a very Happy 21st Birthday.. hope u had a blast... all the best with your studies and take care..


I dun have a current pic of u.. So i just borrowed one from your facebook.. dun mind rite.. lol...

anyway, in less than 24 hours, I will be on the plane flyin back to malaysia... wanted to stayed longer here in the UK but then with the visa getting denied, i have to shorten my stay here... i just hope i get a job fast when im back... it's really hard to get a job here in the UK especially with the many rounds of interviews u need to attend before u are actually hired.. and the rejection letters i got over here, countless... but nonetheless, i am gonna miss this place so much... I have had some of the best moments of my life here in the UK.. the study life, the drinking sessions, euro trips and knowing a whole bunch of wonderful people..

none of this are possible without the support of my parents.. i would really like to thank them for giving me the opportunity to study abroad and all these wonderful experiences... they have given me all the support i need, financially and also mentally... thank you so much...


the best parents one could ever get...

Anyway, got to go do more packing now.. will be a long day tomoro.. have to wake up freaking early to catch my flight… till then.. … hopefully I would have saved enuf money for Italy trip next summer… byebye UK… cheers..

Guilt free shopping...

went down to York last sunday with Ming Jun and Peggie Chang... went to the designer outlet to do some shopping.. it's not as bi as the one in cheshire oaks though.. but it's not too bad there... they have loads of branded stuff like ralph lauren, burberry, fossil and etc.. managed to get a pair of pants from Ralph Lauren for 20 pounds.. what a bargain.. lol.. then we walked around the town, went to the famous York cathedral and clifford tower... passed by the York Dungeon and ming jun started scaring peggie by telling us that normally after 7pm there will be someone bringing tourists around telling ghost stories.. lol..

The cathedral was nice although i'm not really into all these... took some photos around.. but then it started to rain.. wat a spoiler.. anyway, it was a good and memorable one although it was really tiring after that.. lol... here are some of the photos that we took the other day... most of it are already in my facebook profile.. just gonna upload a few here...

National Graduate Fair, London

and this fair is pure rubbish.. ok la it did help me out a bit by providing me with the new 2009 graduate employment and training book to help me sort out the companies that I can apply to.. other than that it was a complete waste of my time.. found out about this grad fair last week and registered for it.. then i followed some of the guidelines provided in the site... I was so hardworking in correcting the mistakes in my CV and spent a bomb photostating few sets of it coz apparently they do have immediate vacancies and they accept CVs on the spot.. so i did it nicely....and i even wore my suit to the fair coz they said that its good to give a good first impression..

heck, when i reached there, there was a long queue at the entrance which i thought was fine.. so we happily waited and laurent and his friend starting making fun of this indian guy in front of us coz by his looks he is definitely not a fresh grad.... we were wondering wat the hell is he doing here... is it because of the bad economy crisis.. lol... then once i got in, i saw some wearing casual wear and some in suits.. so i approached this company and started asking some questions.. and then i proceed to ask if they need my CV and all they did was gave me a brochure and asked me to log on to this website and apply for there.. wth... and the same goes to the rest of the companies.. sigh.. and the immediate vacancies i was looking for was hidden at one corner of the fair, printed on a normal A4 size paper like the classified section on the Star newspaper.. stupid..

then i saw this booth where they offer to check your CV... so i went to have a look and i got the shock of my life when i saw the small fee they need for one on one consultation for your CV was 80 pounds... crazy fellas...

then we head down to Leicester Square for food.. my first meal of the day at 1pm.. lol... went to this restaurant called Wong Kei.. price was alright but then the food doesn't taste good.. the vegetables are so soggy... another total waste of money..

as for today, after browsing through the mag, i happily started applying for jobs online but i never submitted a single application due to the tough questions they asked... omg.. it's worse than the exams i had in leeds... end up watching dramas again..such unproductive lifestyle... sigh.. neway, it's late now... got to hit the bed... nitezz ppl...

Kenny boy's big day...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KENNYYYY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU... lol


the 15 year old giant... sigh.. all my brothers are taller than me... y leh??? lol..

It's my youngest brother's birthday today... just wanna wish u a very very HAPPY BIRTHDAY.. all the best in your PMR... do make us proud k... hope you have a great one with your new God of War PSP and the good food u will be having later.. and try to exercise more during the hols... you are gonna have more stretch marks than a pregnant lady... haha.. anyway, study hard and take care....

.

Sleeping Disorder???

I've been wondering for days if I'm having sleeping disorder.... been sleeping very late at night and waking up earlier than usual in the morning... i slept for like 5hours everyday?... sigh... been constantly worrying bout my VISA.... the first thing I would do every morning is to wait at the door at 10am sharp for the postman to arrive with hopes of receiving my visa...all important documents there ok.. but everyday, all I got was disappointment...sad..

those bloody home office.. when they wanna take money from you, they do it so fast... today u send in your application, the next day they deduct the money from your account dy... wtf... but then they process your visa slower than a tortoise... not having my visa makes my life so unproductive and lifeless... i just wished the visa would arrive anytime within this week... it's been more than 4 weeks dy..

anyway, going to have a hair cut tomorrow.. couldn't stand it any longer, it's too bloody long... and i need to start working out.. been piling on the fats recently due to excessive junk food eating sessions... sigh.. anyway guys...dun really know wat else to write, nothing much going in my life right now.. till then.. cheers...

AN UPDATE...

Hmm... dun really know what to update about in my blog actually.. my life here is so lifeless... no job, no gym for me to go work out and nothing to do other than going out for a walk inhaling all the debris in the underground tube which is fucking bad for your health.. sigh.. I need a job... DESPERATELY need a job.. i dun care if it's not field related.. i just need a fucking job to pass my time and earn some cash.. it's impossible to stay in LONDON without a fucking job...

anyway, i shall just put a little update about my life here.. well, after staying here for almost 3 weeks, I've managed to explore most of London even though I've already explored it before.. and also I managed to get myself a new toy.. woo hoo.. some car model where u need to assemble it yourself with glue and then paint it with all the colors.. i bought a shelby GT 500 which is an awesome car... it took me 2 nights to finish up all the gluing of the car.. all the details have to be done perfectly.. lol...but i din paint it though.. it's too expensive to buy all the colors needed for such a small thing..


my new toy..


SHELBY GT 500...


it took me half an hour to fit those meters nicely.. lol...

and tat's just part of what i did here.. most of my time was spent in front of my PC watching Hell's Kitchen...and some other movies that I downloaded.. and the new internet that I've got is shit.. o2 fucking sucks.. it's so bloody slow.. i have to wait for one whole day to finish one episode of my drama.. sigh...

and oh, i went back to leeds the other to settle some deposit with the previous house agent and also to meet up with my DEAR friend, MISS CHANG... waited for her for more than half an hour in Lupton, halls of residence and helped her out with her luggage.. u should thank me for that weh.. a meal in GORDON RAMSAY'S restaurant would be perfect way to repay me ok.. i shall wait for u to come down to LONDON to repay me.. lol...

and while i was putting her bags into her room, i noticed one of the locks she had to secure her bag... it was really huge man.. it's like one of those u use to lock ur gate or something.. i guess there must be something really valuable inside.. hahaha.... here's a picture of it...


isn't it huge for a small luggage.. haha...

anyway, i have to say, it was really nice meeting with u again after so long... u looked better than before.. and i really wanna thank u for the toothpaste.. can't stand COLGATE man.. DARLIE's the best.. lol...i also get to know some new people like ur fren and i also met up with my brother's friend, joe who so happen to be in the same class as peggie... what a small world.. lol... hope u have fun in ur uni life here coz i definitely missed mine.. seeing all the new faces in leeds and after going back to those halls of residence, i really missed my days in st marks.. where i do not need to worry about anything other than my exams... lol...

ok la.. i think this is all i can think of for this update.. enjoy.. and all the best to u, MISS PEGGIE CHANG.. lol...

cheers..

New Life in Southgate, London

As you all know, I have just moved down to london recently... I'm currently living in southgate which is about 30 mins away from central london by tube.. it's a lovely place, small town where everyone knows everyone.. sorry la that's how i describe a small town.. lol.. now im just gonna talk a little bit about my life here....

when i first arrived to my new house, the room was a total mess.. dunno if it was once there was an animal living in here.. it was filthy and disgusting... anyway, thanks to the powerful vacuum machine and the my cleaning skills, it is now looking really good and i manage to get rid of the disgusting smell with some of the incense i bought from bodyshop.. tat thing is really a life saver.. lol...

but the bad thing about moving is that, i have to buy new furnitures and also i need to look for a new part time which is incredibly hard since im living in a fucking small town.. sigh.. and the towns nearby are so fucking dodgy.. it doesn't look safe especially in Edmonton where there were few cases of knife stabbing reported.. rules here are slightly different compared to leeds as the minimum age to buy knife and alcohol in supermarket is 25... wtf..

central london is awesome.. i freaking love that place... u can get watever u want over there but there is one turn off which is the PRICE TAG.. it's really omg.. how to afford to buy anything there... and i've been to the IKEA here.. the interior is exactly the same as the one back home in the curve and there's also a huge tesco opposite it.. made me felt so at home when i went there... and i bought a table for only a pound at the bargain section which was really good as i needed a big table desperately due to the amount of stuff i have which is obviously a lot.. to those who stayed with me in leeds before, they know the amount of stuff i have.. lol...

since i havent got a part time and a permanent work, i've been on a tv series marathon.. lol.. first i've finished 3 seasons of BONES and now i'm watching HELL'S Kitchen.. that show is fucking awesome which is hosted by the world renowned chef Gordon Ramsay.. to those who doesnt know how to swear properly, watch that series and after one or 2 episodes, u can swear like a pro.. lol...

anyway, i gtg sleep now.. just a couple of beers with my friends and feeling a lil tipsy now... till then.. cheers ppl..

09/09/08

Just wanna wish my dad a very very HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD...
Hope you had a great one and take care...
and dun let kenny have all the cakes, he's getting too fat.... haha..

Goodbye Leeds..

in exactly 7 hours, i will be on the bus (hopefully the bus driver will be kind enuf to allow me to enter due my massive luggage and all the bags of stuff) down to london to my new home.... cant wait to enter london... hoping that i would have better luck in securing myself a job there since that's the capital, there should be more job opportunities than here in leeds....

anyway, i will be back in leeds in another 2 weeks maybe cause i need to settle the deposits, the council tax form, show them the gas and electric bills... there's so many procedures just to get my deposit back.. stupid agency.. to those of u coming over to study, dun ever register with PRIME properties when u are going for a rent contract.. that dude is so unorganized and useless.... and also my dear friend, Miss Peggie is coming over for her final year.. haha... cant wait for my gifts from malaysia, rite miss chang... lol...

anyway, gonna head ot bed now.. gonna get some rest as i need to wake up damn freaking early in the mornign to catch the bus.. ciaozzz...

Sigh...

I've finally let go some of the burden before i leave this house in leeds before i leave to london such as sending out all my parcels to my new house as well as all the bloody gas and electric bills and the most important thing the visa application.. hopefully i will get an answer soon from the home office... AS for the packing part, that's wat i bloody hate the most.. i've placed most of my stuff in 3 boxes and when i tot it was enuf.. no.. i still have whole loads of stuff in my room rite now with me.. i wonder how the hell did all those stuff comes from.. lol..

Yesterday was my last day in Sentinel Car Park, after having worked there for 2 and a half months.. it was really a pleasure working with those guys.. they were really funny fellas with all these jokes and mocking each other even though most of them are pensioners.. lol..

It's gonna be a new life for me in london after staying so long in leeds where I had the most fun in life.. I'm gonna have to look for a new part time work to support my livinig here while I look for a permanent one.. to be honest, I fucking hate to look for a job here... all i ever get are rejection letters saying that they need someone with experience.. how the hell am i gonna get my experience if I'm not given a chance to gain experience.. fucking nutcase...

Life was so much easier as a student.. cant believe im saying this but i think i had more fun as a student than as a grad except maybe during the exams part.. lol.. now, i have to worry if i could land myself a good job, will i be able to support myself, how's my future gonna be like and etc.. it's just so depressing.. sigh.. guess that's part of life...

sigh.. i know it's all pointless here.. im just simply rambling about my life here.. dun get me wrong.. i love my life here, it's just that after getting so many rejection letters for my job application it tends to get on my nerves at times..

i think that's enuf rubbish for one post.. i shall get back to my packing now.. till then.. cheers...

Trip to Camden Town

I have finally got all the documents and payments settled for a new place to stay.. will be moving down to London next month... lol.. anyway, went there last friday to settle all the stuff and managed to stop by Camden Town where it is famous for all the goth and punk styles...

That place was amazing... u get loads of cheap t shirts and gothic clothings.. there is also a famous lock known as the camden lock.. These locks is also known as water elevator to help boats move to a higher level of an uneven river... not gonna explain how it works coz it might end up being too educational... lol..


camden market.. the entrance to the petaling street of UK..


the busy street...

we saw loads of ppl with weird hairstyles and clothings and big boots... tat place somehow reminded me of petaling street back home where u get to bargain for a cheaper price and also there's loads of chinese selling all those adidas bags and other sort of clothings.. lol... it's amazing how they manage to sell all those since the copyright here is so strict... i saw some of the brits here was trying to bargain for the price of a adidas bag... din buy anything there though...


the collection of boots..


a nice big dragon in front of a chinese restaurant..


camden lock..


the lock..


laurent in front of yumchaa cafe...


lolita...


laurent so wanted to buy this to fulfill his fantasy.. muahahaha....

after that we just head to some chinese restaurant for dinner and went home feeling freaking tired having walked the entire day.. even brought laurent to Soho coz he wanted to have a look at the red light district and also the gay bars.. it was freaking disgusting when we saw 2 dudes french kissing.. eww...

and oh before i finish.. i went and work for this catering last week as a waiter for a football match between hull city and fulham.. and god... i dun think i ever wanna work as a waiter anymore.. it's so freaking tiring and you have to carry like few dishes on a tray and balanced it on your hand.. but the cool thing is that i get to watch the premier league match in the VIP lounge and the girls are hot.. lol...

till then.. cheers...
