I am now at Siew Wen's room,surfing internet.She went to work.Her room is occupied by me,so quiet when she is not around,i am thinking,she must be so tired.She needs to work,needs to finish her dessertation,need to think about long distance love,need to worry about mum and dad's burden.I wish she no need to go work,but at the same time,i wish to see her success deep in my heart.I know she could do it,chances are around for her to grab.Today she went out to work at 6.30pm.Taking her dinner in rush.Till now she hasn't come back yet,a long day for her i supposed,need to stand for 4 hours plus.Pampered people like us sure tiring,but still---- Wen,i knew you can do them well.Sometime i think may be i am giving her too much pressure,but i want to see her success.May be to her success in different view,i wish i could be like her,in UK stay back,am i too selfish???
I just scrolled and read Dick Woei's blog.I realised so many people wish to go back packer travelling.I have been doing that for more than 5 times i supposed.He said it's fun to find the way out on map.When i am they,i didn't feel the join.Now i know how much people wish to do so,i should treasure that.I know i am lucky,i am putting my foot print most of the continent.I am luckier than my parent even.I don't know what and how i gonna be in future.I just wish that i could give my parent and my kids the same as i had.I must treasure the backpacking time,every time i do enjoy travelling,seeing new people,new things,but i never think that learning a map will be fun.Woei's blog just enlightened me.I will treasure these for this coming trip.
I love my time in UK now,i wish i could stay here,i really enjoy staying abroad.Like Er jie said especially London,may be,but i am not too sure,i felt like i like to stay abroad,i love the life i can still go park at 9pm at night,the sky is still bright.The enviroment is safe and clean.I wish i could stay abroad,i don't know where,i like place with moderate temperature like now in London.
I will make my way out,try my best.At the same time,wish Siew Wen successful too.I knew you could,my dearest Sis!!!
I am currently enjoy myself,it's so fun,to stay surrounded by lake,it's so picturesque,on wednesday the weather was good,but we woke up late so only manage to take a few photos,yesterday we went to Wantage to meet Da yi and the husband.We went around Oxford,a place that i wish i could further my study.Oxford is a university city.I have never dream of i could go back again after my first visit in year 2005,i love that city.It's so nice and lively,a lot of youngsters around.A lot of people visiting,most of them are students.Thanks Yiyi for bringing us there,thanks Da yi for the Dim Sum.We had lots of fun.Yesterday night,we had wine,we had spare rib in apple sauce,i love that,we had stir fry vegetables with mushroom.I love that,thanks Yiyi for preparing all these for us.I wish i could stay longer,time past so fast.Tomorrow i am going back to London,will be going to Glaslow,hehe,Wen should have just tell more lie to let me stay longer here.I really enjoyed myself,sleep late,woke up late,go out and i have so much fun with Yiyi around.But too bad,bad timing:(
I wish that the next time when i started working,i could spend Yiyi like how she treated us,bring her around the nice coffee shop,bring her around for nice restaurant,bring her for nice place to take photos.I wish i can do so.I will do so!!!
I am now so relaxing.Seeing the lake,typing,and so tranquil the whole area.It's so fun.I don't know when will be the next time i will meet Yiyi again.It's always sad to say good bye:(

She planned this surprise for me,we had fun the whole day yesterday.She pretend to bump with me at H&M in Oxford Street.Then brought us to Temple in Oxford street,but it's lunch hour,so the temple was closed.Then we went to Leceister Square to meet Yiyi's friend-Joanne,we have fun having her around,a 40 years old lady who is non stop laughing telling joke.She bought us Toffy muffin and coke for our birthday,Then we went to Laban contemparory dance school,where yiyi used to dance Ballet.They were having summer school,it's so amazing to see them dance.Then we went for musical show-Billy Elliot,it's a really good one.Yiyi bought us so many food,chocolate,juice,ice cream.We enjoyed the show.
After the show finished,we went to Chinatown to have late dinner(supper) i supposed.We have porridge with yao char kui,then we have 'wat tan hor',then we had deep fried ribs and prawn wan ton,everything is good.But so costly for Yiyi.Really felt so pai seh for that.I chatted with yiyi all the way from London back to Isis Lake,the journey doesn't seem far become we keep talking and talking.Then come home,another surprise.We had present in each of our room.So caring Yiyi we have,she made our bed,nicely place the present.We took photo,open the present,then chit chat and laughed a while.The sky already turn bright,we only go to bed.It's really fun and memorable birthday i have.Never expected that this 26 birthday would be like that,thought it would be ordinary one,but i got one feeling that told me that Yiyi is back in UK,i don't know where is this intuition come from.Amazing:)

I am turning 26 years old today.This is the 2nd birthday that i didn't celebrate at home,first one was in Australia back in 2003.This 2nd one is a bit different because I am here with Siew Wen,she said we must celebrate our birthday every year together.
Thanks a lot to Alvin for taking so much effort to made us surprise birthday party.Felt so grateful to know him,today we went to Kesington park to picnic,then we went for boat paddling,then we went to Camdem town,then we went for Crepe in Hampstead,then we went to Asda,i wanted to buy Siew Wen a cake,but she said not,we will buy Haagen-Dazz ice cream to substitute our birthday cake.So each of us choose a tab of ice cream for our birthday:)

Made a few wishes,wanted to made more,but everyone is waiting,hehe,shy:P.But hope that all the wishes will come true.I love my mummy who brought me to the world,thanks to her:)
Yesterday 1.25pm,i reached London Victoria Station.When i was busy heading to underground station,Siew Loo called me,she asked me have i arrived?I really felt like i am home when i was there,i had great time enjoying my time with Siew Loo and family.I miss my family so much,i miss everyone talking and no one tends to listen,everyone just wants to talk,i miss home so much.I had fun spending a week with them,since the day i arrived,aunty had been cooking good food for me,prawn,fish and soup.I regret not taking the photos,i pai seh to take,later aunty said i am sam pat,whahaha,but i should have take as memory.Aunty is a good cook,though she claimed herself not.
I saw so many things differently,how success is this mother,how different is Loo towards her baby.Enviroment made people grow.About myself,still the same,i am turning 26 tomorrow,what have i done in this 26 years,i am yet to be successful like everyone else did.I still haven't start working,i still haven't finished my degree as well.I must learn so many things,to earn money,to see the world clearly,to give the best to my parent.
I have plenty of plan this summer,but i haven't been doing any since last 2 weeks,better get myself get things done,or else i will regret as i didn't take those home cook food by aunty:(
I miss my back home friend so much.Hope that everyone is doing good:)
World is about money,no money,no luxuries,no money,not going to be pretty.Thoughother ethnics is important,but if got no money,where to stay,where to walk,nothing at all....
Work harder and accordingly to the brighter side:)
I am now in Siew Loo's house.I went to Birmingham with Wen and housemates.It's fun outing.After that,met up Siew Loo,she didn't changed physically a lot though she is already a mother.We had our lunch in Malaysian restaurant,Loo had prawn noodles,Wen had tom yam bee hun soup and i have char kuey tiao.Wen is tremendously happy with the tom yam soup.
I am enjoying myself spending time with Siew Loo and family.I miss my family so much.So noisy,everyone wants to talk.I miss when our family outing,we will be like that too,quarelling,giving suggestion and idea.Everyone wants to talk.
Seeing Loo became a mother is not easy,she changed a lot,so caring,so different.Everything the daughter will come first.She likes to buy toy for her daughter.
