moisturise!
always moisturise your face, your skin. you HAIR!
moisturising is the key to health.

sorry. just felt bored and wanna crap.

its funny how death is the ultimate destination of our lifelong journey.. that one day we'll all part. yet instead of choosing to walk together to the very end, we go separate ways in search of our own destinies. bittersweet as it was, as strangers we met but best friends we've become and throughout the years, strangers we've turned into. comforting as it seems, like leaves scattered in the winds of life, we struggled to hold on to each other. but is it because of loneliness... or was it mere obligation? perhaps it was all a mismatch of expectations to begin with. one hoping to find, the other just went along. and yet, even in times as such, it is still joyful. since life is one's epehmeral existence on earth, then it is enuff to relish in the have-beens.


heh heh. just wanting to be cheem.
anyway.. ahahaha. huayu! i dreamt of you last night! we were (together with some friends whom i kant recall) at sentosa.. this resort or smtg and it was late at night. your second brother called and asked to speak to me. he asked how are we going back..
damn out of point yar?
hee.. but at least we met - in my dreams! :) you looked the same.. bie2 lai2 wu2 yang4.
HAHA.

:)

peiyun yup, it was snowing the other day. i tried to make a little ice-ball. the snow in nottingham melts when it touches the surface of anything. so it was really wet. but beautiful all the same.

wish you guys were here. haha. then we could make a mini-mini-snowman.

"frosty the snowman..." hehheh.

jiayou dajia!!!

yeah yeah...i'm still around ya?

hello gang!!
i apologise for my MIA. like i told serene. i do read our blog just dunno what to blog. but then they told me i can write anything crappy. yup, so i'll blog more in the future ya?

To serene,
like huimin, yup, i guess i told you what i feel in the phone call. it matters to me. and i'll give it a shot to change things for the better...i will try and i mean it. yup..glad to know that you're not going to give up on us yet.

To felicia,
i realised how much i neglected you.... seems like never even had a proper phone conversation with you before. sorry seems too late a thing to say after so many years. like serene says, action speaks louder than words. so give huimin and me some time to sort things out and try to make changes. do tell us your problems k? cos we are really concern and do want to help.

To huayu,
miss you ya? must take care and wear more clothes..should be rather cold now. is it snowing already?

To the gang,
apologies for this late realisation on my part. guess i was aware of it but never chose to deal with the problem. i think it's time to stop ignoring it cos it's a 7 years friendship already.

meanwhile, everyone take care ya? jia you for those with upcoming exams and test. looking forward to having supper with you all. :)

:)

gang alert!!!!!!!!!

harlow everybody....

after being mia for a while, i decided to, as the efficient and capable kah-giah who has always been planning to overthrow the useless incompetent lao_dih regime, make some noise...

ok apart from these crap, on a more serious tone:-

firstly.. i hate u guys.. namely the couple. made me cry twice in two days with 2 phone calls.... :p
but yar.. thanks for calling and i m glad we talk it out.. and i m glad u see how lousy frens u guys have been and wanna try to make things better. as i say its for YOUR general well-being yar.. so hereby wishing u all the best.. and i really hope u guys can do it.
i know ur course work is busy and u are very stressed.. but who isn't? ultimately its about u making an effort..
WANTING to make an effort..
and like py says.. its been 7 years.. going on to the 8th already.. though we have handled this better this time.. well.. huimin is right.. must target the root of the prob..
AT LEAST THIS TIME U ARE SEEING IT.. and like i say, its an improvement.. although its only like so little.. but still.. sigh.. ok.. *clap clap*
so.... i will be here always.. AS PROMISED (cos serene tan dun break promises and serene tan always sticks to her promises..) and help u all out.
dun disappoint me ok?

next up.. FELICIA (HASSAN) WONG YANXIA...
everyone is very concerned about you - STILL- and we really wanna help.. or make things better. perhaps we have really neglected u since jc.. but i think u have also distant from us on your part.. and we dunno why.. and everytime we ask, u say u are ok.. but somehow are u hiding anything else from us? be open la.. ALL OF US.. i think we shud always be honest w each other.. and communicate more.. i think maybe fel u have always been having this prob.. but we can only help u if we know wats wrong...

it saddens me to see how the couple dun try and u think they are not trying and you dun try...
i can only do this much lar.. despite being THE GLUE.. it can get disheartening and disappointing at times.. and i m sooooooooooooooo far away in smoo! all the more u all must learn to gel without me!!

sigh.. i thot i m the most kiddo in the gang.. who knows at the end of the day, i m always the one who has to step up to settle problems.. i dun mind la.. if it can help u guys.. i really want things to work out k? cos seriously.. our friendships are hard to come by! must treasure ar...

hmm huayu.. no worries k.. this is just a little bump.. and we are handling it maturely this time round.. dun fret there yar? we are ok, and will be fine..
:)

ok words kant fully transcend what i feel.. but i think this is the gist...
everyone good luck for all the tests.
hope u guys feel better. (yesh! i m not that cruel.. decided to reduce ur guilt for once...) ;p

*Just a Reminder

Helloooo!!! :) Haha...I've turned the pages over to the "Just a Reminder" pages already! :) Yup 我会study的,你们不要担心。Yah, and I don't think I have any Eason Chan songs with me now, the "Seven" cd isn't on the cd spindle that my Sange lugged to Nottingham. In my room I guess.

So isn't it a public holiday today? Herhherh, who made the ketupats on the calendar?! Haha...it's like one of those primary school art pieces for weaving? You know you know? I miss having public holidays...They haven't had any here yet. It's like the 11th was Remembrance Day, but it wasn't a public holiday. For the end of the Great War/WWI in 1918. The Armistice that marked the end of the war was signed on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Many people wore a red paper poppy on their shirts. So, this is the part of English life that I'm getting to know as my every day reality as well.

In any case, what is everyone up to? Peiyun, what are you doing in school? Still the lab work and tests and anything else? Felicia? How's school? How's everything at home? What's the last movie everyone watched? Serene, how are the projects coming along? Is all still cosy in SMU? Everyone at home fine? Huimin, how's your Mum? Does anyone know what Yimyee's been up to? Hahaha.

You see right, for every email-like entry I post on Yakuza, it's as if I'm writing a gang letter. Haha. For what's going on at my side, well, I plan to do my laundry today. But I've a Tort tutorial tomorrow which I need to work on. So I guess I'll have to quick-quick do the laundry :)

Oh yeah!! Yesterday the Malaysian-Singaporean Society had the Nottingham Games and some of the other Universities' Singaporeans came too!! So it was so cool, like I could hear Singlish the whole day. I met Zhijia as well! Haha...and many other people, like Candice (council), Yvette, Joycelyn (rgs), Shujun (Fleacia will know), Germaine, etc. etc. Haha...yup. And guess what, I played Netball!! I was playing Centre. In the Semis, we lost to Warwick (who eventually became the winners) but we all had fun. So it's ok :) I spoke to Xinhui and Wenqi who are both at Oxford and we're all like..."Yeah, and we all thought we grew out of the Netball Carnival." Haha. So funny right. Reminds me so much of what we all used to do back at Rgs. Wahbiang, I can't believe we were the 209 Ninjas just a few years ago.

Can't wait to talk to you all soon on MSN or something. I hope everyone's ok and happy and cheery. Take care of one another ok.

All right then I have to go and 洗衣服。 Hehheh.

"谁在河边洗菜心..."

:)

为你翘课的那一天花落的那一天 教室的那一间 我怎么看不见 消失的下雨天我好想再淋一遍 没想到失去的勇气我还留着 好想再问一遍你会等待还是离开 刮风这天 我试过握着你手但偏偏 雨渐渐 大到我看你不见 还要多久我才能在你身边 等待放晴的那天 也许我会比较好一点从前从前 有个人爱你很久 但偏偏 雨渐渐 把距离吹得好远好不容易 又能再多爱一天 但故事的最后你好像说了拜拜

Ready for Flipping the Next Page!!

This maroonish-brown page with "11 nov" has been staring O__O at me for a really long time for now. And I just wanna say that I'm all ready to flip it in 2 days' time!!! Hahahahaha.

Think I don't know meh...Happy Deepavali lah muthusamies...herhherh.

And it's Hari Raya on Sunday isn't it? Haha...remember to say Selamat Hari Raya to our friends back home ya.

屠妖节快乐!哈芝(is it called this?)节快乐!:)

Wahbiang, as I type this, my neighbours are singing "Minority" on the guitar. You know the Green Day song?

Oh yeah there's a KARAOKE night going on tonight at my hall too. Hahahaha I wonder what songs people are going to sing..."Bridge Over Troubled Waters"...

OK LAH, YOUR TURN!!

around the corner

hello my gangsters... :)

i was just shopping around the little town beeston yesterday. and i bought :

2 little portions of cheese - 1 smoked, 1 brie
6 kiwi fruits
1 pack of chocolate digestives
2 little packets of rice snacks
8 slices of ham
500ml of lemonade

aiya actually all i wanna say is that i miss you all lah. how come so long ah py and flea like never blog leh...

in any case, the christmas decorations are already on sale here. they've got really cute things. hehheh.

and you all knew from the start that i'd be going home in the summer next year only right. while most students go home for the christmas holidays, it is my choice to stay here for the 3 weeks. i've already considered why i should and why i shouldn't, and the 'remedies' for each. so it still remains my choice to stay in england this december. so it'll be about 8 months before i get to fly back? yup.

the next time you all go out remember to snap pictures and then huimin must remember to post on ofoto or something ok...oh and has everyone gotten to read the gang letter? :)

Monday, November 01, 2004

i dun like the maid.
she says i kant eat the brownies cos i m fat...
wat the hell?
i dun like her.
i think she is just jealous cos i got bigger boobs than her or smtg..
or i look more well fed cos she looks so malnutritioned.
watever.
i din enjoy myself man....
despite the fact that sunday was DAY ONE of serene wanting to be genuinely nice..
it disturbs me that she bitch abt her employers behind their back and gossip so much..
TO US???? strangers?????? or merely "ah yu's good frens"....??????
altho i try to understand cos she is bored and has not much of a social life..
but still!
liking to make chiffon cake w white wine dun mean she is a good maid somehow!
it is deterring me from wanting to employ a maid in future............
and she KEEPS saying i m fat!
wat audacity????
and wat give her the right to control my cholesterol and even fats level?
so wat if i wanna choke up my arteries with saturated fats and eventually die early from heart attack?
walaueh.
wat a bummer.




AND now i just realise that my timetable is VERY horrible..
wtf.
but no worries la..
i m taking it in my stride.
i m sure smtg good will come out of this sucky timetable.
listen to the gut feeling!
