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...

Sigh sigh.. Wonder how’s my life gonna be once I’m back home after getting so much used to the lifestyle here.. I know it has only been a year, but then I kinda like my lifestyle here.. So carefree with not much worries… lol.. Anyway, I hope I can get myself a job soon so that I wouldn’t be bumming around at home for so long.. It’s really boring staying home doing nothing and also without income.. Can’t really spend much.. lol…

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...

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...
