Little twink

I must amaze all of you like I've amazed myself...

When I've a tummy upset, I got Yu Yee Oil. When my spectacles are loose, I got screwdriver to tighten. When it rains, I got the umbrella. When I need to write, I've my online blog or my little notebook. When my parents miss me, I got a calling card. When my skin gets flaky, I got my moisturiser. When the ground is cold, I got cover for the feet. Ahh, Singaporean's kiasu-ness... hahah. But come to think of this, I do thank myself for being well-prepared :) Not just me, but also my thoughtful friends with all the little presents.

It's amazing I survived 2 weeks already, and I almost can't believe it. Also can't believe the fact I spent so much on food, and the fact that my bowels work so hard here! Arghh..

Long lunch

My pizza are always burnt!

I'm very impatient when it comes to many things. But I do not understand why I can be so patient when I let the pizza gets heated up in the oven. It's the second time it get burnt, the poor cheese aren't chewy anymore. Dry and flaky! :(

Yeh, my fingers smell of potatoes...

The lemon and lime concentrate is making my stomach upset. I don't know why but I love them when I was in Singapore and now it doesn't suit me anymore.

Rabbit, come here

Besides being lovesick, calling home a few times, being online a lot, made a new french friend, spending lot of money on food... and doing lot of brisk walking, of course!

I walked the Nottinghill Carnival alone today. Its said to be one of the biggest attracting million of visitors in the past. But it was pretty alright, it was drizzling on and off. The crowds were loud and the performers were great. Its not lonely, I find it rather fascinating and easier to lose myself in the crowd than to lose my friend's arm. It was a long parade (like Chingay in Singapore, sad I never even been to Chingay myself). I followed down the road and it was like ants on the other end of the street. Music was loud, there were beer and hot dogs, little kids on parents' shoulder, and lot of curious people (like me). I took some pictures and a lot more video because it says so much on a video clip. The only thing I hate was getting home, the tube stations were closed and buses were diverted. So I ended up spending over an hour to get home.

It is time to get busy, I must find a room that feels like home ASAP!

Strangely delighted

My new phone was singing. The first ever SMS I have got, yet I don't know who's the sender. Maybe I do, but then the number he gave me doesn't seem to be the same as the sender's number!! +49, mmm must be from Germany.

I convinced myself to step into job agencies, each and every I could find. A few are missed because there wasn't anyone at the desk. So I only went to two. I was told to email my CV since I bloody hell (pardon me) obviously know I need them, but I didn't have a hard copy. Whatever! One was testing my typing skills - yes I need some job, anything goes. I was surprised as I never knew my speed. It is 50 words per minute. I guess all the chatting helps!

Little James doesn't seem to recognise me today.. just because I wore slightly differently??! He's so cute, I heard him asking his maid, Helen, "Is that Trixy?? Is she your friend?? Is that Trixy??" Oh, I'm melted.

Oh by the way, the photographs for the farewell party is out. Any interest, click on the link at the right :)

WTF

I just realised yesterday it costs me S$1.50 (not the 50 cents I thought) to send just a SMS (text message) from London back home to Singapore!!! I have already spent S$15 on my card just doing stupid messaging. God, its so expensive. It was free back home!!!

I sent a MMS (to test my new phone) back home, it didn't work!! And it costs me £1.50!! Times 3, and you know how much it costs. Damned... I'm just down on luck yesterday!!

Ring me for free

It's 8pm here... but it doesn't feel like 8pm, doesn't look like 8pm, doesn't seem like 8pm...

I felt I've finally done something good for myself. A good start. I bought myself a mobile line, and... a phone of course. Bloody hell, I shouldn't waste that money right? I reckon it is a good investment and it better be, I'll have to earn them back.

I "forced" myself to go to the malls today. 15-20 mins away. I'm so lazy, but I need the exercise in this cool city, nothing much else I can do except brisk walking! Ealing Broadway (where I shop at the moment) has everything. Its like Tampines in Singapore. I went to every mobile shop I can find and yes I found the phone I wanted!!

Sharp GX15. Ok, they don't have this in Singapore! Its the cheapest I can find with widest range of features. £119.99, do the calculation if you want. It's near S$400 (of cos lesser). Anyhow, I've done a lot for this bloody phone, so it better be good. I took a 20 mins £1 bus ride to and fro a remote shop somewhere in the north to get the phone. Its only where they still have the stock!

Now I can take pictures, do MMS, effects on the photos, and yes finally color screen. Some friends were like "WHAT, your phone doesn't have color?!?" Okay, ya, the old one is still the older version, but hey it works fine.. still lasts me for 2 years now and counting. Definitely, its worth the keep.

p/s: Sorry, the title means "its only free for me.." heh

Chill now...

I didn't have brothers, but I didn't know little English boys can be so loud when they play games. My little male cousins were very much softer, maybe its a cultural thing. The boys were playing Xbox in my room (big enough to have everything), 2 of them I reckon are some neighbor's or friends' kids. Four of them screaming and shouting. Sometimes its cute but most of the time, its a torture for the ears. But look at how they enjoy themselves...

I'm hearing this song on the radio so often that it has became my favourite song now... It goes like, "da da da DA DA da da da.." Sorry I can't figure out those lyrics.. but I'll try to find out what song name that is. :p

Maybe I shouldn't care anymore

I'm upset...

I've too much time to get upset now! Sometimes I don't know why I make things happen this way... I introduced my best friend to my guy before I left on the trip. Now I'm freaking out. I'm jealous they see each other maybe more than I used to see him. I'm worried she wants to bring him home for dinner. I'm depressed when she suggested to do a holiday trip with him. I think I have enough to worry for myself right now, and it is worse to have these extra things to weigh myself down. I am thinking whether it is right I wanted to do long-distance, if it is sensible to introduce him to my best friend, maybe I am that stupid. Maybe I should have been a selfish bitch!

Call me paranoid.

Do you think you'll feel the same way when your partner is going to hang out with your best mate for over 2 mths (ok, alone)... ???

I'm having a heartache now... :( I don't want to share!!

Little boys

I'm staying with my ex-boss at the moment, and he has 3 lovely boys. The last time I was here, I didn't speak much to them because I had a friend for outdoor outings daily. Having been here for almost a week soon, I find them so irresistable. So adorable. I was reminded so much of my own childhood with my sisters.

George, the oldest, seems to be quite a school athlete. He is pretty sensible, and he watchs Olympic at the young age. At 23, I can't be bothered to catch up with the games :( Felix, I guess the middle child is always the rebellious one. He makes good shortbread! And its very pleasant to hear him calling my name whenever he speaks to me. So polite. He's a mini-me of my boss, cute cute cute! Little James has grown up so much within the 15 months. I'm told he's pretty bossy. He was very friendly to me when I first came, but maybe now he's tired of seeing me everyday. Lol.

I think I'll probably miss seeing little boys around when I get my room soon!
