New Year's Day

Happy 2009! =P

Well, I decided to blog about this whole experience in UK, so that:

a) I can share with all my friends about it, so please don't feel left out!

b) because blogging connects us all

I really hope that everyone won't think it's arrogant or proud-ish of me to blog about it, because I sincerely want to share the experience with you, and when you come down to it, there isn't much difference where we go to, because more important how we end up.

LoL, I sound oh-so-philosophical.

After arriving at the airport, I had to pass the immigration counter (or as they call it, the UK Border) and since it was my first time, I had to go to the Health Control corner (it takes quite a short time, surprisingly, but maybe coz we were quite late and there were less people). Reclaimed our luggage (a combination of two of my bags weighed 51kg, gah) and took a bus all the way from Heathrow Airport to Brighton (about 2 hours to reach).

Well, it's pretty chilly here, but overall, Brighton isn't as cold as in London, probably because it's near the sea and you got the whole sea/land breeze science thing going for it. Heh. The houses here are narrower, and you don't have the kind of land area available in Malaysia. The buses here are punctual, so I guess that's one difference in transportation compared to M'sia =P.

I'd love to post pictures, but then I'd have to get out my memory card reader and load it and resize it and password protect it ... =S

But no worries, I shall do it soon.

Miss all you people loads!

Saras, TJ - Thanks for your well wishes before. Was panicking while packing the other day and forgot to reply your messages, hehehe.

Kitt - I don't think you still read this blog, but all the same... I'll see you when I see you, haha.

Tabby - Thanks for calling. And yes, Rose is attending NS. I'm not kidding.

Happy New Year again!

One more 'thanks' to Gitz, Sarah, Ranj and Erwin ... Rock on, you people!

Beloved Friends

Gita dear ... looking so grown up here =P

Elaine, say 'cheese' to the camera!

Ferzie ... smiling all the way =)

Anna: Argh, someone's choking me!

Ranj, if you make those eyes in the middle of the night, I'm going to run in the opposite direction, haha ...

Aw, Rachel, looking so sweet ...

Ro-Zanne, you look so pretty here! Tabby is a proud godsis. XD

Sarah - back when she was way younger, I think Form 1? LoL

Yeah people, just chill... - Steph =)

shu

I must say, this is quite a horrifying picture of me, but note: This was taken three years ago. THREE.

Well, there you go. Pictures of all these beloved people. I would love to add more, but I really have to dig for photos, haha. I have no idea why, but lately, I'm really into putting up pictures, heh.

So remember the password, people, but try not to circulate it too much, so that I still know who sees this and who doesn't. XD

Have a Happy New Year!

Plea for Inspiration

Yes, you read that right. I need inspiration. Inspiration to write something. A new story. Something I've never attempted before. Something I can write freely. Something that can spark readers to question themselves. Something to open their minds.

Inspiration, people? Any suggestions?

Or maybe I'll just go write a 'Beauty and the Beast' story, or some other fairytale. I need something challenging. Come on, people, ideas? I know you're all smart, so I'm begging that smart part of your brain to come up with something to challenge me, please ...

*begs on knees*

I'll treat you to an ice-cream if you give me a worthy challenge. =P
