Responsibilities...& Fate

2008-01-11T22:46:00.000Z

I'm not in my conscious mind,
Malibu, Malibu, Malibu,
One after another,
Knock, down it goes.

Every yawn,
Tires me more,
I'm blank with words,
Thus these I write.

My worries,
My problems,
Who knows?
No one knows.

I keep it to myself,
Keeping a jovial face in front,
A fate I cannot proceed,
A responsibility I abide to.

This road,
Has diverted many thoughts,
Many of you wonders about my choice,
But I assure you this,
I'm sure of what I do,
What is best,
Not for myself.

I hope,
God hears my prayers,
to put my fate on hold,
While I finish my responsibilities.

A companion

Happiness is with no definition,
It's a matter of thought,
How we see things,
And how we analyse it to be.

To me,
It's hard to be happy about everything,
It's easier to just hold on to one,
And the one thing I hold on to,
Is my passion.

To keep it working,
To keep it healthy,
Brings me happiness,
From other's happiness,
A kind of shared joy,
I loan from people I see through it.

It will never betray,
Or lie,
It just brings more joy to ease my day.
And I hope it will continue,
To company me as I'm alone in the new place.

One smile,
Travelling miles,
Ring - goes my phone,
You made my smile done. =)

A shape in many

2007-11-09T03:25:00.000Z

Irregular shapes of the world,
Every corner it covers,
Mine, a heart shape among them.

Never had I outshone any,
I am a lovely sight never the less,
Hovering in the air,
Can you see me now?

Eternal marks I leave,
Vividly in those who found me,
Only to have the loveliest moments,
Lasting till the final pulse.

How are you...

2007-11-03T23:05:00.000Z

Dark and gloomy autumn night,
Stars are beyond sight.

I stood there blank in my head,
Took out my phone,
And dialed your number.

Not knowin wat to say,
I just wanted to hear your voice.

How are you?
Are you enjoying yourself?
Is your day beautiful?
I hope so =)

That moment I long for,
Never had the guts to let go,
Always looking back,
Those crowds cheering on,
Watching me running on,
I still can feel it in me,
But years gone by,
I now realise those are just history of my life.

Used to think I can never not do anything,
Nor nothing I cannot do.

I now can finally let go,
You made me realise there's more to life,
Than those small pesty stories,
Clung on my back.

Swept aside,
I feel lighter,
Feelings made known,
That's what matters.

Every few seconds,
How I glance my phone,
Hoping to hear it ring,
Hoping to see your name on the screen,
Everytime it happens,
I jus smiled without a fuss.

How are you today, tonight...?
Everytime you worry,
My heart aches,
Hoping I was there to cheer you up,
Wanting to see if you're alright.

Honestly, I havent felt like this in a long long time,
You know its true,
I hope...

...I miss you...do you? =)

I will not write much here any longer. Am going to be busy these few days, and days after but all I want to say is, my last weekend has been a blasting great one. Can't wait looking forward to the next one. =)

Amsterdam Trip

2007-04-15T19:54:00.000+01:00

The 3 days trip to Amsterdam was great all in all but few factors really drived me nuts...first day of arrival, we arrive at the Schipol Airport, and from there we went straight to Keukenhof, a large floral garden with loads and loads of, well...flowers~ anyway, I don see the point as the flowers there are everywhere here in Leeds, Tulips that grow out of my front garden are as equal!! Anyway, it was a nice place to relax, definitely not for teenagers, well maybe girls...but anyway, it was a nice place for me to take pics though...HAHA..

After that we headed back to check in to our so called 5 star hostel that doesnt know if they are a hostel or hotel themself so they put up their sign as a hotel but it was searched as a hostel on the net. To me, it was more of a hostel as it LOOKS like one! But service was good. Oh, it was located right in the famous Red light district! No pics though as they do not allow ppl to take any. So, the famous red light district is really one that you have to see to believe, there are tonnes, hell tonnes of them selling oneself! right at the window! I recon the whole place is as big as the size of the city centre in Leeds...you can find all sizes, colours, bla~bla~bla~ and theater for live shows if you're interested...may sound obscene to most ppl back in Msia but its a tourist attraction place, so, everyone pays a visit there to witness the famous street...I'm not encouraging anyone to go buy services there! Hell no! You see kids with their familiers there as well, I mean tourists..

We also visited the Windmills and Wooden shoe factory and my best stop, the cheese farm!! Oh, my....there are LOADSSSSSS of cheese from white to black and infused with various flavours! Nothing much to comment about these places anyway.

What I don enjoy whilst my time there, and what's driving me and most nuts is the way they do business there! Right, went to Mdm Tussauds in London two months back, it was a great experience. Mdm Tussauds in Amsterdam, DONT GO!!!! not even half the size of London's and heck it costs the same!!! and if they ever ask you if you wanted a picture taken by them, just say no!! It costs even if you dont buy, unlike London you decide if you wanna buy.

And KFC, ah, sauces are charged at a blardy 0.30 euro...and thing is they dont tell you! They charge you after you order! Tulan! Pao and two other, went to buy mineral waters in a supermarket, it was tagged there, 0.79 euro, but when they took it to the counter, they were charged 1.04 euro!!! Then we were wondering why, but anyway they paid for it first and later found out, if you recycle the bottle in the recycling bin in the supermarket, they will pay back the other 0.25 euro!!! They really just sell WATER!!! SO MISLEADING!!!! They should just tagg on 1.04!!! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!! An advice, never buy anything or pay anything until you've confirm the price with the person or you'll get slaughtered!!!

We also went to the Heineken factory, it was a great place...nothing much to see though but a place worth visiting for only 10 euros and 3 pints of beer/pepsi, and a souvenir.

We walked around AMsterdam by foot, you get a choice of using bicycle, which is the King of the road there, even cars give way, car, tricycle, train, or boat...you decide...

Anyway, all in all it was a nice trip but I just cant stand the smell of weeds there, people smoke it everywhere and all day long!! And I cant stand the risk of getting ripped everytime you go out for something!

Lunch at the Park!

2006-09-14T22:28:00.000+01:00

Beryl had class today, so I walked her and Adrian to FTC. Then, me and Adrian went on shopping and submitted some resume. Then we went to the market and bought some vege and fruits. Bought 7 bananas for 67 pence. Then we bought lunch at Subway and went to meet up with Beryl for lunch at the park nearby FTC. It was raining before we arrive so the benches were wet. Adrian laid the broucher he took from PC world earlier on and lay it on the benches and we sat on it. After lunch when we wanted to clean the bench then we realised the brouchers were stuck to the benches, so we just tear all that we could and left fast! We felt bad, but we didnt know it would stick! Don't know if there any CCTV around, they have CCTVs in every corner here in the UK. My gosh, you're being watched all the time!

Leeds

2006-08-30T10:52:00.000+01:00

It's has really been awhile now, and I know I should have blogged ealier but hey, I'm blogging now. Still there are some pics I can't upload, dunno why it always allow 10 only at a time. Anyway, road to Leeds was great and it was really fun. I have to say this is the furthest by far I've been away from home. Home sick, you ask? Nope, not one bit, but I do miss people back there. Really missed the good old days, well, not really very old, but missed all the fun we had!

Well, I don't feel home sick cause this is really a good chance to learn alot of stuffs I guess, new culture, new environment. Stringent checks at Heathrow, yeah! VERY! but anyway, I got through without much problem, so I was lucky I guess.

On the plane from Kuching to KL, I did feel rather sad but after awhile, I was ok...at KL I had 4 hours till the next flight and it was my first time in the International terminal so I spent my time checking out the terminal, it was great with much more shops compared to the other terminal. Harrods is there, and there are TWO! wao! London only has one Harrod. Oh well, I was thinking of getting a scarf and saw one which caught my eye at Harrods KL, but it's RM149!!! WTF???!!?? So, I didnt get it.

Now, the 14 hour flight from KL to Heathrow, London was not really that bad. Was expecting worse, but it was rather ok, had our first meal at Msia time 2:00am, a rare meal for me! then another at Msia time 10:00am. Too bad camera is allowed to be brought up to the plane now, but we jus cant use it, so didnt take any pics on the flight. Arrived at Heathrow and it was 14 degree that morning, started shivering the moment I stepped out of the gate to board the bus to terminal 1 for my connecting flight to Leeds.

After immigration clearance, I went on to find my gate first, before I check out heathrow airport. There wasnt much to look around in heathrow cause my gate was pretty much at the end of the terminal, so I only hung around that area. What's the first thing I bought in the UK? A freaking BANANA! Dunno why, I jus felt that I really want one in my damn mouth and stomach, my stomach wasn't very well either. So I bought ONE for 59 pence, that's RM4.20 for one fucking BANANA! I could have the whole BANANA tree back in Miri for that price! So I had that, a bottle of mineral water and a bar of Mars for my breakfast that morning.

Then I arrived in Leeds and met up with my housemates, they are very nice people really but sadly they're leaving in Sept and Oct as they've already graduated. So I really have to say I had no problem blending in to this place as they've made it like home the second I came in.

The first few days, went to get the things I need to settle down and registered my papers at FTC and still I'm waiting for the bank confirmation letter to get my account active.

People here are generally kind and polite, 100% unlike KL. There are many things to learn and many thing I find that Msia should use some practice. Like, in a supermarket, or any cash counters, No matter how many cashiers there are, there's only one line, so everyone has the same priority, you wouldn't need to choose "Which line is shorter? Which line is faster?" And, in supermarkets, when u pay at the counter, you need to load your buying into the plastic bags yourself, which solves the problem for extra stuffs loading plastic bags back in Msia. Cut cost ma, then pay higher lo, bodoh really!

Markets here, fruits are great! But, don't touch them, ask for them politely. That's good too cause we Msian has this culture or pressing the fruits, "oh, it's good, it's good" But the moment we press that fruit, it is no longer good! There's a dent and it will turn brown! What else, wine here is cheap! Some even cheaper than soft drinks, Coke is 1.50 pounds, and a wine is round 2.99 a bottle or sometimes Two for 2.99, so tell me, which are u getting???

Walking here is fun, cold but there'r very few flat paths to walk on, its either climbing a slope or going down one, so it can be tiring too. Rain, never lasted more than 10 mins here. And the sky is Oh, so cleaR! I kinda like my room cause the view is stunning, a very good night view and its windy here, I recond my room is 2 or 3 degree below the temeprature outside as I open both windows all the time and there's minimal sun through my room.

These few days its getting cold, around 16 to 18 degree during the day and below 10 at night. It's only the beginning of autumn here. I can't imagine Winter. My gosh!

Bought a England jers for 11 pounds which is really cheap. Anyway, I guess I'll update again, I've forgotten about the time, I need to get to FTC to get a new letter typed, apprently there was a typo with it. Take care there guys, and good luck! Miss ya guys and gals!

Birthday? Well, I'm very touched by everyone's calls and messages. Thank you everyone! Really...

But how sad, this semester, our result is revealed on this very day and well, it isn't as expected but life goes on guys! Congrats to Tara and Diana on finishing ACCA and to the others as well and those who didn't make it through some papers, we'll have to fight on and deal with it. SOB tonight and tomorrow we'll have to start focusing again.

It has been a great and yet terrible day I would have to say. We've worked our ass out and yet...the decision is sometimes too cruel. All I have to say now is, look forward guys. Take care!
