VaRiatiOns oN mY GuiTaR FrEts

I feel utter remorse at what I've done. The sense of guilt is so overwhelming, the very thought of it haunts me even in my deep sleep.
I just want to say, I'm sorry for...

buying a 8 inch scissors!! LOL.


This might be shocking for you, as even I couldn't believe my own eyes when reading this myself:
In the UK..
I have to be over 21 years of age in order to buy a pair of scissors?!
What happens if I'm at the age of 6 and I need a pair of scissors for my cut-and-paste art project?
I'm not really ranting, I just find it hilarious to be mentioned here.

However so, I confronted the risk of violating the law, and bought the scissors anyhow, because...
it literally says MOOOO~Childish or cool, it depends on your judgement.
But I just feel that, why not make my dull-looking pencil box a little more interesting with a pair of cow-like scissors?
Haha.
The best part is that, the scissors comes with a tag, stating this:

Haha. Am I eligible to use it then?
Anyway, I really do need a pair of scissors (I've been cutting stuffs with nail clippers since I got here.), and it costs me one pound. Give a tick for buying necessities at a reasonable price :)

At night, I headed to Alexandra Palace, near Wood Green for the Germany Beer Festival and obviously, the FIREWORKS DISPLAY! :)
This looks like Sakura petals falling down from the sky..

A typical animal cell with a nucleus. haha
The Universe :)
Spot the love! Love is in the air :D
Last but not least, some of the friends who came along:

Cheers people! :) C'est la vie~

It's either I'll post it now even though it's passed midnight ( the wee hours ), or, I'll procrastinate and will never ever complete the task anyhow. I shall not pick the latter.
As straight forward as the title of this post can be, I just had the best weekend ever in UK!! :)

It all started from 30.10.2009. The auspicious day. Yean Hui's birthday :)

As what Cheok Ee has mentioned, the surprise was a success! Okay, she referred it as a HUGE success and she even posted it on facebook!

I told Yean that I'm departing from London to Bath around 5pm, and will be arriving at Bath around 8.30pm. That's a lie. In fact, I departed at 230pm and reached around 6pm. Opps, I ''cheated'' on her. :P But my intention was good. I have to hide myself, and surprise her!

Credits go to Cheok Ee who generously contributed her kitchen and Sin Yee who selflessly went all the way to the city to lead me to the university. Thanks to them, I was able to cook.

Alright alright. I know some of you may go: ''Daniel's cooking?!''. ''Are you seeeerious?!'' haha. Yes I did. And perhaps it's beginner's luck, it actually tasted good :)

The masterpiece:


Humongous mushroom stuffed with chicken and pepper, baked with cheese.
Roasted chicken (Thanks Wey Sian for the best sesame oil ever!)
And, Broccoli, her favourite.

I surprised her at the entrance of her accommodation hall with a rose.
Then we had dinner in her room :)
Oh ya, I cooked breakfast the next morning as well. Toast, Broccoli, and Eggs for both of us.

Anyway, I shall make this post short.
No doubt I had a pleasant evening.
Thank you for being so lovely.
Happy Birthday, once again :)
You know I love you.


Then..
The Nottingham Malaysian Games was a blast!
I carpool-ed the University of Bath's bus to Nottingham. And I feel a little bad for being only in the opening ceremony, then we headed to the city.

So, the blast I mentioned.. is actually referring to the fact that 31.10.09 is like a big reunion day!!
I had a splendid time meeting friends from all over the places! And also, knowing new friends as well. It just made my day! :D

-The Reunion-
Firstly the ucsi gang.
Yean Hui, Cheok Ee, Kenny, 194, Ang, Jackie, Sin Yee, Yun Yi, Jing Hui, Chiew Yee, Mei Chi, Corrinne, Wan Hui, Aileen, Aik Jin, Xin Yuan, Paul Aun, Nadiah x 2, Farah, Mutheerah, Fadhil, Izyan, EG~ Ili, Datin Yasmin! Hui Yun, Siew Leng, Sheila, Ayunni.. I think the list goes on.


Then, I was utterly excited to see familiar faces from Kwang Hua Klang!
Voon Huey! She's wearing bright pink :)

Jin Liang, Wey Kiat, Wei Jian, Wei Zhe, Yern Peng. Siew Leng's from Kwang Hua too, so she should be mentioned twice. Haha.

I met Ming as well! My Thai roommate back in Singapore Dunman High Hostel. He's the best! Thanks for bringing the whole gang around the city :) We should hang out again!

And Ik Hur. She's simply a nice friend to mix with :)

Not forgetting the friends I got to know from the BTN camp. Ainun, Aiman, Kai, Adeline, Hui Pin..

I met Ally and Nicole too. They are from London.
And, Sara, the girl who I met 3 years ago during the ASEAN scholarship interview. We talked to each other while waiting for our our turn to be interviewed. However, since then we didn't keep in touch, at all. Untill today, we met again! We were like, ''you look so familiar'', ''I think I know you'' and so on! Haha.

It just feel so good having able to meet all the buddies again.
The feeling of getting excited when bumping into a friend along the streets is simply exhilarating!
Fate works miraculously.
Forever Friends, to all :)

p/s: I had my chance to walk a dog for the first time! Sadly the photos are not with me.
And for more group photos, do visit my facebook profile. There's tonnes lots of photos.
Last but not least, I wish my family back in Malaysia can have the chance to taste my cooking :) I'll wait till the time comes..
May all be well and happy.

It's not something recent that I have an urge to write this post.. yet it didn't came out earlier than the present, due to the fact that, I have no idea how should I begin to pen down, and where should the full stop be drawn.

So, screw the emoness. (Okay, Obviously I don't mean to be that rude.) And Start posting it right now!

As you may already know, I'm flying to London Heathrow Airport, UK on the 24th September 2009. Time of flight, 10.05am :) It's a brand new journey that I'm embarking on, and I do wonder what lies up ahead.

The past thursday, I was there at KLIA to send my friends off to Manchester. We were classmates, clubmates, and such close friends. Yet, we'll be departing to different places, mine being London, and theirs Manchester. Hence, the separation.


One phenomena that I observed: The ones that are boarding the plane soon were rather less emotional than the ones left behind. I just can't imagine what would the scene be like, when my time of departing comes.

Nonetheless, I'm here blogging, implying that I'm procrastinating in my packing and stuffs.
Perhaps, given the option, I would rather get my things done so that I have the time to spare to hang out with my friends, and my dear family; and not living in the virtual blogger world, overly reminiscing the past memories, or ponder too much on the future ahead.

Hence, main priority given to spending precious time with everyone before I fly, then perhaps I'll blog about it later on alright?

So, no worries that I'm abandoning my blog. I'm just living the fullest out of my life.

Counting down:
5 more days to go. :)
5 more days of being in Malaysia.
And 5 more days before a new chapter of my life begins.

I assure you, ALL of you will be dearly missed.

p/s: Ended up I didn't really touch about the emo stuffs after all. :)

Take care

Alright people! This marks the sudden reappearance of me back to my blog!!
It's been..say, 3 months since my last post?!! haha. And it ain't a good thing anyway, as i WAS once a frequent blogger.

All this while I've been enjoying reading others' blog and commenting on them. Then, I figured out that I should do my readers a favor by updating my blog too. On top of that, I find that my blog is absolutely the best way to keep my parents, family members, and friends updated while I'm in the UK in the near future.

So, do forgive me for my disappearance, and I'm sure I'll update more from now on! :)

Here's something cheerful to share. Came across this in my bro's blog.
The Voca People



I find it such entertaining and pleasant to listen to, until the extent that I'll log in to youtube to watch the video over and over again! XD

Then today, I came across this:

The Voca People Remix *speeded up*



HAHAHA! It's just too cute, don't you think so?? I had a very good laugh! I hope you have it too :)

Updates:
1. I'll be starting my degree on Pharmacy in the School of Pharmacy, University of London on 1st October this year.
2. I've been offered a place in the International Hall as my accommodation for the first year of my course. It's a nice place I heard, come over if you're in the UK. :P
3. And, I have a second blog! arisen-thoughts.blogspot.com Enjoy reading~

That's all for now. Cheers! :)

As you might have already known, there's a new member being introduced into the family recently. And it's no other than a pet dog indeed! And I'm sure you had realized, there were 3 of them and we're only able to keep one of them due to some constrains. So, just in case u are not up to date, puppy 3's the one who we kept and named NiuNiu/NeoNiu. To find out the exact pronunciation, do not hesitate to call 017-2923xxx. :D

I'm officially addicted to Britain's Got Talent! I've even skipped this year's American Idol to watch each and every act in this talent show! Utterly excited about the show and I wish I could vote as well! Perhaps next year then, when I'm there in UK! I'm a great fan! XD

And the musical: Prince Siddhartha now showing in Istana Budaya is the one thing I know I'll regret if I haven't been there to watch it. I was mesmerized by the 佛曲弘法：称赞如来 held last year just nearby UCSI, and gained much faith and inspiration from it. On top of that, I was genuinely touched, deep down my heart, for Lord Buddha had given His words of wisdom in the 45 years of teaching the Dharma, leading all beings on the path to the end of sufferings. And I know, this musical is one I wouldn't want to miss!

But still, life isn't perfect and this is the condition that spur us to attain perfectness. Sadly, the last show will be held on this Sunday and I have final A level's exam on the next day. So blogging here, to aspire that, if you're reading this, do you mind telling me is it possible to get a copy of a video perhaps? I do believe that there'll be DVDs on sale, for people who do appreciate the show, but not having the blessings to watch it, which obviously I'm referring to me myself. :)

This is a short post indeed, as I've been busy watching BGT on youtube. haha. Highly recommended by me and I bet you'll agree with me once you started watching. I hope you guys out there will like it too!

In short, I'm a fan of art, performances and of course, TALENTS!

Cheers!
