Life: Another Buffet with Family

My family and I went to a buffet dinner at Parkcity Hotel and had a great time. I took my camera with my 'cus my mum wanted to take picture of us as a whole family. However, as events turn out, my brother had to leave first. Leaving me and my parents. Therefore, at the end my dad took picture of me and my mum. The picture below is of a half eaten cookie.

Tonight is kinda special 'cus it is meant to be kinda a 'good luck' dinner for me and a birthday dinner for my mum, which I totally forgot until now... Anyways... I had a great time.

Life: Possiblity in Accommodation

Took them in Leeds, again... We went to a farm where our host work as volunteers. We get to feed them for free... which was so kind of them.

There exist a possibility of me finally getting an accommodation, with what appears to be a Dutch. Also the house mates of mine are of vast nationality. Singaporean, French, New Guinea and English... Which is wonderful news... I just hope that everything works out!

Life: News From Accommodation and Laptop Back

Taken in Leeds again... The sign post leads to where we saw the cliff and the vast greenery.

News from private accommodation as in that there are good available housings around the university. I think I have a confirmed accommodation and I need to tell Miss Yii that the accommodation is settled...

Got my laptop back.... I think they changed my screen... seemed different then the old one...

Life: Update on Everything

Taken in Leeds... Without doubt...

Ok, first thing first, my laptop is fixed and I'm ganna get it tomorrow.

Then I had several replies on the search for accommodation in Adelaide, which is good news. I am yet to hear any reply from Flinders Housing... so... Dad is deciding on whether to let me live in the ones in city centre... the main problem is transport...

Tonight I might talk to Wendy... won't know how it goes 'cus the internet is plenty crappy...

Life: Accommodation in Flinders Giving Me a Headache

Not sure whether I posted this up before... pretty sure no... Anyway, taken in Leeds again... I like it 'cus of the blue sky... keke...

Currently, the Flinders' Housing has yet to offer an official reply stating that they have or have no accommodations left. However, it is getting closer and closer to the date when I am to leave for Australia. Therefore me and my parents are trying everything to get at least an accommodation for me to live in. This includes getting off campus accommodations and probably city centre flats (which means I am to travel 1/2hr transport).

Both me and my parents are getting frustrated with the Australian system and also very disappointed with it. They could have informed us earlier whether we will get an accommodation so late (or beginning) into the year. Then we will have enough time to react to the situation.

Oh well... I'm suppose to write up an e-mail to the Flinders Housing people... Sigh...

Life: Singing Last Night

This is a picture I took on my Leeds' trip. In the cannon/valley which I don't remember the name.

As the title suggest, me and my brother went out karaoking yesterday night, that is why I did not update the blog yesterday, thus missing two days of blogging.

I bought the "Fantastic Mr. Fox" movie... Hope it's nice 'cus I'm ganna watch it tonight.

I thought of a movie... More like a parody of all the 'superhero' movies nowadays... It involves

- a captain with the power of electricity with a bad fashion taste ( leading to the rest of the members wearing really bad 'suits'...)

- a mind reader/controller who have agoraphobia(fear of people or crowds)

- a telekinesis who is blind

- a flyer who is afraid of heights

Made it up thinking that it would be fun... lol...

Thoughts: Nothing Much... Again.

Just like the title mentioned... nothing much today... sigh...

I thought of the TV series I made up last time... I figured that it should be quite boring if the story wasn't written well...

Brother is singing at the top of his lungs again...

Hooked back on Law and Order: CI, one of the best TV series I've seen so far...

Thoughts: New TV Series?

Two sheep (no 's') in Leeds, they were so close to the car that we could get real close to take pictures of them. However, as we stoped the car to get out and take pictures of them, they kinda shun away from us. So I had to zoom to get a good picture of them... so cute...

I thought of a new TV series... I came up quite suddenly... Guess it could be a cross between "Pushing Daisies" and "Ghost Whisperer". It started as a line came into my head "I face death, everyday. You can guess I'm a mortician or a homocide detective, but that would just be too good to be true. No, I am just a caretaker of a gravesite."

The storyline is something like a gravesite was left for the main character though family business, or something like that. Then one day, she was caught in an accident and dies. Suddenly brought back to life by a so-call angel, who actually not suppose to let her die but still did. She then started to be able to see or talk to the dead. Thus, having to work at the gravesite, she also has a side job as a grieve counselor (same job as the angel in human world).

It shouldn't be as dark as the "Ghost Whisperer" or as light as "Pushing Daisies". The main character is kinda dark (i.e. listens to metel rock and wears dark clothing) but she keeps postitive attitudes at all time and keeps the grieving less... grieving...

Dunno how it sounds... Boring?

Me and Waterfalls?

Dunno what to put on so here... a picture of the waterfall in Leeds...

Nothing much today... Didn't go out 'cus dad's gone to KL. Finished the painting that dad wanted... Going to shop to work tomorrow...

Life: Came Back from Visiting Grandma

Surprisingly I still managed to find a couple of Leeds' photographs in my old laptop... Love this picture 'cus it shows the girls and the hosts having fun... Sam realised what I was doing so she's laughing at the camera...

The trip to visiting grandma wasn't that bad... Maybe I imagined too much... But anyways... I still managed to entertain myself through my book and TV. I feel much better too... after visiting grandma 'cus if I didn't, it would be disrespectful. Got lots of pocket money too... lol... that is not the only reason I visited grandma.

Here I would like to wish that she lives as long as possible and lives happly...

note: I'm hooked back to NCIS... skipping couple of unentertaining episodes...

Life: Sent Computer to be Fixed

I don't have any pictures to be put up as I just sent my computer to be fixed... Its ganna take 2-3 bloody weeks... my gosh...

oh well... I'll be going to my aunt's place in Sibu tomorrow so... will keep up the update when I come back... Which will be on Sunday... Hope I survive...

Thoughts: Very Annoyed With Luggage and Accommodation

Took this in Leeds... As I was thinking about my accommodation and scrolling through my picture vault... I thought, won't it be nice if I could live in some place like this.

My dad started questioning about my accommodation and plans on my baggages... I told him that I dunno what to do and will contact Miss Yii about the accommodation. Then they (my parents) agreed with me that probably sending my luggage through air flight is the best plan as my accommodation is going to take a long time to settle and till then, I won't know the address. Will write to Miss Yii now and look into the baggage company on how much the shipping fee is going to cost.

Me and Photoshop

Even though I have photoshop... I'm still having problems on how to open it??? need to ask the professor in shop...

Life: Driving on the Road

I wanted to talk about the driving I did today and this is the picture I thought of. I took it as I was going back to my accommodation and saw this unique looking cab. Great, isn't it?

Anyways... Dad took me on the road today and my engine died a couple of times. Sigh... I was so desperate at one point where the engine died at a traffic light. I started getting depressed and pessimistic which I told my dad that you shouldn't have let me drive... Lots of cars were honking behind me... sigh... Hope I would get better... Realising that nothing works perfectly on the first time and lots of practice is needed.

Thoughts: Stargate Universe

This picture I took in Leeds with Samantha... Funny... Well, what I wanted was someone to take a picture of me and the tree. Then Sam decided to barge into my picture... thus ending up with this hilarious picture...

Started on Stargate Universe and found myself to like it a lot. Robert Carlyle, the actor who plays Nicholas Rush in the TV series also acted in "28 Weeks Later" and a very old but famous movie "The Full Monty". Everett Young played by Justin Louis is the actor who played Jigsaw's protege Art in "Saw". They were both excellent actors and the other actors weren't that shabby. Which puts Stargate Atlantis way behind. This is probably another TV series that I would look forward to. Hope the quality stands up.

Life: Visiting Grandma

This was a picture taken during my Leeds HOST trip. This picture was taken by Jiyoung I think. With Marie. That was one of the best time I had.

As Chinese New Year is closing in and my date of leaving to Australia is closing in too, my family starts pushing me to go to visit my grandma in Sibu and I am to travel alone. My brother said that its time for me to grow up and start considering how my parents feel when I was reluctant to go. It is not that I'm inconsiderate, its just that I'm reluctant. Okay, maybe I am being a little childish and irresponsible, but I just don't really feel like going there. It is going to be so... awkward. I guess I better suck it in and head for it. I'll be leaving on the 15th...

Thoughts: Leaving Next Month

This is a picture I took of the Newcastle airport and the reception by the University of Sunderland. I remembered that we (me & dad) went there by bus along with the other Sunderland students who arrived that day. I still remembered my astonishment when I arrived at The Precinct (I remembered that I had a hard time spelling the name...). Can't believe that it was three years ago. Felt like it was only yesterday.

I'm still a bit nervous about going away, though I've been doing that for three years. It felt like time pass by so... fast. I kinda look forward to it and also I felt that I didn't wanna leave this place.

Accommodation still isn't fixed and my laptop is still flashing! What am I suppose to do?... sigh...

Life: Two Movies in a Row with Family

I took this picture when I was in UK during my graduation trip with my family. It looks a lot like the skull church in Barcelona, Spain...

Today I went to the cinema with my family to watch Sherlock Holmes and Bodyguards & Assassins (十月围城). I liked 十月围城 better because of the actors... each and everyone of the actors were excellent, most of all the father 李玉堂. His acting was exceptional. As for Sherlock Holmes. It wasn't that great because Guy Richie changed the character a lot and he's previous films were much better. Robert Downy Jr. was still great. Loved him and Jude Law in this film.

My mum was a bit of a screamer in the cinema... Told her to stop it and was told off by my brother... saying that I shouldn't do that for different people handle these situations differently then I do...

The bloody screen is still flashing and no idea when it will get fixed... Also waiting for the quotation from the baggage company... How long should I wait?

Thoughts: What Will 2010 Bring for Me?

This was a picture taken of my brother trying to be funny, looking up the kilt. Taken in Scotland.

Today is officially 2010. I dunno what this year holds for me... I have many places to explore. Firstly, I will be getting my 'P' license tomorrow. Then I will be going to Australia. New subject, new environment, new life. I guess you can say that I'm a bit scared and you could say that I'm a bit excited too! Will see how things go as the year goes along!

Also, I hope that I would be able to keep this going.
