Nana de Memoirs~

What should I do with my blog? I dont have the interest to update it anymore, so should I delete the entire thing? But, I don’t want to be so cruel to it at the same time. I want to keep blogging and yet there is nothing interesting about my life. 

Moving into 3rd year in university,things seem to be even more colourless since there is nothing fresh and exciting about studies. Imagine you spend 2 years on doing the same thing again and again, go to school and come home from school…how can you be excited about it still? Joining club is even a horrible thing for me to do…I am way toooo lazy to socialize lor…I always think people around me are very superficial and fake, they greet you but do you think they sincerely wanted to do that? I dont think so at all! They greet and just left you behind without bother to know about you even more. Everyone just care about themselves, not YOU!

I know it is very negative of me to think like that, but who would care about those strangers who walk pass by at the campus everyday? So, it is better to ignore and save yourself some saliva and time. Lucky, there is Ah Boon to accompany me. Someone who I am willing to waste my saliva and time on. Pheww, if not, I will be all alone for another 2 years. But hor, he likes to order so many food whenever we are having dinner or lunch at the restaurants! I will always get so stuffy and feel like throwing up after the meals. He gets his karma also la from doing that, now he has bloated and squash-shaped face! AHHAHA…I think his mother would be so happy to see this! He used to be skinny and has palm-sized face…But that was just something he can think and dream about! Welcome to the bloated face group!

Enough with the bad things,now to the good stuff. Good news is, my skin is getting better and better everyday!! Yay! I am sure no one cares about my skin as well =P….Who cares, good news should be spread! I don’t know whether it’s because of the facial treatment or the product SK-II…I think both did contribute to my getting-better skin. But it is hell freaking expensive to get the treatment or SKII…so ended up me have to spend countless amount of money on them. Still better than doing nothing and to let my skin rot just like that!

And recently, I am not bother to put up any makeup as well. I stop putting on mascara, eyeliner and stuff. It is fcking troublesome and will make my skin worse somemore. So that explains why I look pale and deadly all the time. I really impressed with the old-time me, I used to gazillions stuff on my face ever since i started to dance. Without any makeup,it means less time for camwhoring! Who will want their ugly pale face being captured and kept as memories? Geezz…

I want to make the post longer so dont mind with the nonsense stuff. It is already a blog that has nothing to be excited about,so why not making it even more worse? Negative plus negative can be equals to positive. I am gonna add more and more negative stuff on it!Haha =__='’

Teheee! Pale right?

Wow… So long since I was last appear on this page. So long that even myself have no idea with the happenings in my life. 

Wondering how is everybody is doing? Losing contacts with so many of them… Slowly I am getting use to this simple life of mine. It’s simple as it sounds,trust me.

My life=Adrian+Miumo+Job+Food

I missed everyone at home. Was in depression past few weeks because of the ultimate homesick. Lost all the appetite and the lust of gnawing…Am I making the right choice to stay for another summer? I swear I am gonna have fun till my ass drop off when I am back at home!!! Gonna make and save enough money to express all the miseries built in Canada.

It’s true that nothing much happened during this summer, but at least someone is right there for me. Someone who fills up all the empty spaces of my life and adding it with colours at the same time. 

Yea, I was talking about the guy hiding behind. 

He’s gonna kill me if he sees this…MUAHAHHAHA

The heart is to cover my blemishes! >.<

最近迷上了看小说，一本述说着那时，当时的小说。看着看着…突然觉得自己老了。

好想回到脸上挂满笑容的那时，当招摇的服饰和五颜六色的胭脂都跟你扯不上关系的那时。好想回到在太阳下活蹦乱跳的当时，当昂贵的美白产品和乱七八糟的保养品和你沾不上边的当时。

现在的人都过得很辛苦，时不时都得检查脸上的妆是不是花了，头发是不是乱了。镜子上再也看不出自己的真面目，都是被化花了的脸蛋儿。 头发的颜色再也不是当年在母亲怀抱里所看到的。

简单也可以很幸福，但是幸福的定义却被我们给扭曲了。当我们不再为了一颗糖果而开心，为了一件新衣而欢乐，这些简单的美好已被我们抛得远远的。这被扭曲的幸福；我们现在眼中所谓的幸福，竟是能被金钱所换取的。当然，没金钱能力的人就因此觉得自己不辛，就因此失去了享有幸福的权利。就因为入此，世上不开心的人也越来越多了！所以在现今社会，我们到底是幸福还是不辛？

天啊！为什么我们一直憧憬的美好未来会变得如此下场？长大了不就是能变得比以前快了吗？长大了不就能实现以往的渴望吗？当时你很渴望的望着玻璃窗里的巧克力蛋糕，为什么长大后会变得如此没价值？以前很渴望的自由原来是虚幻的，反而长大后被束缚得透不过气来！

我恨我自己也是个迷途的羔羊，恨自己没能力不让自己被迷惑。这是多么残酷的现实啊！ 

我希望有一天，我们还有能力再次拥有一次简单而不带着面具的笑容。当然，这或许就是当你坐在轮椅上，至少能做的。但是希望这一天来领之前，我就能摆脱这要人命的束缚，放下这压死人的背包，真真确确的笑着。

希望。。。。。

Besides the greens, lakes and the river in Peterborough, friendliness is another asset of this small little county.

A friend from Toronto visited last week. He was like: I noticed something weird in Peterborough. Everyone smile at you on the streets! This can never happen in Toronto. If you do this people, people will just looking at you, freaked out. 

Haha. Very true. People smile and greet each other, not only on the streets, but on the bus, in the mall, parks or mostly everywhere in Peterborough. 

Actually, I have a story to share. A story where the friendliness goes wild here. 

I was with Mr. Gan on the way walking to downtown. I was practicing how to smile and don’t ask me why XD So, there was this old lady and his husband, sort of, waiting to cross the road. She was like waving, smiling and looking towards my direction. I thought there was someone behind who is her friend or something like that. But NO…she was actually do that to me. Sorry…I didn’t mean to make you misunderstand, I was just practicing my smiles and too bad she saw it and thought I was doing it to her. What a cute misunderstanding.

It could be boring sometimes, but this is the place for me. 

My first GUESS watch! And my most expensive watch ever… My previous was a Swatch one and was a gift from my sis and I have to say it’s not cheap as well. I always think it’s unnecessary to get a pricy watch but something more practical. But, I totally loveee this watch!!!

Of course…I dont pay for this since I am a stingy person. Adrian is the one who would willing to sacrifice his wallet. I could see the blood oozing out from the wallet now!!! Poor thing…

Obviously I took this photo at 8 o’clock. 

Bling bling.

Looks nice on me???

And while deciding on which watch to get, the salesgirl suggested me this model(the photo above). I was like: Hmm…it’s too fancy.

Not long after, I request to look at the one I got. She was like: Haha…so you were saying that one is fancy but in the other hand you picked the one which has the biggest blings on it!!!!

I think she was annoyed how I turned down her offers and disagreed with her preferences. But, it’s true that I always have contradictions thoughts..lol

.

.

.

Not only giving me a present without a reason(such a sweet thing eh?), he made me dumplings as well on 端午节. They looked so cutee…hahhaha

See how it’s wrapped. As if the rice is trying veryyy hard to escape out from the leaves.

LOL…I guess the rice suceeded to escape afterall. 

 

Thanks alot…Mr. Gan. 

 

When can I finished talking about my trip to London. I starting to get annoyed and even lazier to update about it.

Fine, I just have to force myself through the way and finish it up asap! 

So, we went to this market. It’s the biggest market I had been to in my life. Perfectly suits my interest, this market made a good impression and actually my favourite place during the trip. I totally love this place and will definitely return again if I ever have the chance to go back to London. You can find almost everything you can think of in this place. Nonetheless, paying so much for market thing isn’t a good idea though, of course after the currency conversion.

It rained!!! London’s weather is more unpredictable than Canada…Fine, I was lying. It snows in June in Canada. lol

Mind the crowd. It’s really crowded.

Food stalls along the river.

Hi~Peace~

Nom nom nom…Too many food stalls, can’t decide which to get!!!

I like how the ventures sell all these funny stuff. 

Interesting stores outlook. 

A weird way to end a blog post. I am not good blogger after all…=p

Things I found out while I was traveling on this alien piece of land. There are actually many differences between Londoner and Canadian even though they share almost the same culture.

So, here are the things that I stereotypically differentiate those 2 different kind of people. 

 

Londoner cross the road without looking at the traffic light signs.

Canadian refuse to cross the road even there is no car when the red sign is on. 

 

Londoner wear coats and suits all the time.

Canadian in hoodies and slippers even when they are working. 

 

Londoner are less helpful but the other ways if you have lotsa money, for example: staying in a 5 stars.

Canadian are so enthusiastic in giving their hands even though the place you are staying at is a 2 stars.

p/s: this is probably due to the reason that most of them are foreign workers. They dont care if their attitude spoil the tourism or not. 

 

Londoner smokes way too often, even when kids are around.

Canadian-Only certain group of people smokes and most of them are males. 

 

Londoner shop on a shopping streets.

Canadian shop in a shopping mall.

 

Londoner called their train services as Underground and have wayyy more complicated routes.

Canadian’s Subway basically has routes that look like a straight line.

 

Londoner have good chinese food everywhere.

Canadian chinese food sucks, even the ones in Chinatown.

 

 

 

 

And finally here comes the second part of the trip! Whoahhhh = =

During our 4th day, we went to this super expensive department stores, Harrod. It shares almost the same level of fame as the Westminster Abbey or Tower Bridge. It is an icon of London which you must visit if you are there.

Inside the stores, you can find most of the branded goods that you are aware with. It worth millions and millions of money btw…So, by owning this department stores alone, you are simply one of the wealthiest men in London.

Like other ordinary departmental stores, there are different departments selling food, clothing, jeweleries and etc… I was most interested in the food department as it gathers every expensive food around the world in this one little department or I am simply a foodie.

 

Look at the peppercorn’s price! My dad should seriously menjaja his harvests di tepi jalan of Harrods.

RM5 or 1.2 pounds for one biji of Siu Mai?!?!?!?

Seriously..WTF??!?!

 Different types of olives. 

Nyum…didnt get to try this. Too expensive man…

A memorial dedicated to Princess Diana and his boyfriend. The glass is stained with Diana’s lip colour and was last used by her before the horrible accident. You can clearly see how dirty the glass was…ewww

The Thai government was trying to promote its tourism to the locals or the tourists. This is what they did…Those people are some sort of products? Why showing behind these windows?

We spent too much time wandering around in Harrods. So this basically ends our 4th day… We were supposed to visit Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey…but too bad, it’s closed and we were too exhausted to go there. 

Oh wait…we went to Victoria and Albert museum and Natural Science museum as well after Harrod!! How can I forget about that??! 

The dinosaur skeleton. Looks like the one in "The Night in Museum". Location: Natural Science Museum

It’s fun to have an escalator coming out from a huge ball?

 

Both the museum are free admission. But, even spending a week in these 2 places, you wont be able to finish looking at everything. They are simply too big and too many things inside. 

Before going back to our hotel room, we stop by Hyde Park again. To be specific, Hyde Park Corner. Not sure what so interesting with this corner, but Nigel told me to go. 

Guess what we found?

.

.

.

.

.

Rows of trees!!LOL Anyways, the park is really nice. But, no matter how nice a park is, it is still a park. What am I crapping here? = =

A male duck chasing after a female duck in a lake in the park.

Random photo of sister taking self-potrait. 

Back to this litlle tiny pricy hotel room. 

Next: Camden market. 

 

 

 

Signs of having a good boyfriend?

1.He plays your game instead of you watching him plays

2.He eats your cookings instead of you eating alone

3.He helps to clean your room instead of you cleaning the mess he made

4.He pays for you instead of you paying on your own

5.He carries the stuff for you instead of you dragging it like a mad lady

6.He does the dishes instead of you having a pair of rough hands

7.He comforts instead of him shouting at you while you guys are in a fight

8.He laughs at your silly jokes instead of him showing whole face of shits

9.He feels comfortable with your face without make up instead of him showing you around when you are with make ups

10.He buys you food instead of you worrying about whether he is starving or not

11.He stops you from eating junk food instead of him complaining you getting fat

12.He dries your hair instead of you looking at him styles his hair for hours

13.He watches your favourite shows instead of you watching his favourites 

14.He gets you medicine instead of him checking on you through phone or msn

15.He holds his temper instead of explodes like a volcano 

16.He talks stupid jokes to cheer you up instead of doing or minding his own stuff

17.He prepares you breakfast instead of hearing your stomach growls and ignoring them

and the list goes on and on…just too lazy to write down all of them! 

I know it’s bad to compare but human are born with this ability. So, why not if this helps to find you a better guy instead of a shitty one? Start and compare!! 

 

Ignoring the fact that sterling pound is much stronger than the dollars, and despite that I have to sit traveling on the air for 7 hours, I went to London.

I sounded like I was so much in pain, indeed I was. This is something I didnt expect to happen, which is complaining and wanting to come home. Same thing goes for my sister, we were both sick and misses home so much. Sucks to the cruelties and the cold treatments performed by the people there.And the crowds and traffics that pollute the nice and beautiful city.

Anyways, I still have the responsibility to blog about the trip since it’s a trip that I should blog about =X

Day 1 & 2

So, after 7 hours flight(it feels like forever!!!), I reached the Gatwick airport. There are many airports in London but it is the cheapest to fly there. I paid 600 something for my ticket just in case you are wondering. Not a bad price right? I took this service called Easybus to get to the central of London.

Even though it’s central of London, but I still have to take the underground and change to another line in middle….bla bla bla. Fine, it sounds easy right? Cos I was expecting this….

….the escalator. But NO! In fact, I have to drag my baggages while climbing the stairs. No time to take a picture of the stair, too busy dragging.

Because some stations were built since long ago, and people were not considerate back in those time. So, there is no handicapped services provided. Stairs+baggages=HUGE DISASTER!

 

Typical looking train railways. 

The reason why my sister is flying London is because she has to attend a four days workshop. A workshop which is supposed to help you to search for your unknown potential or to develope your current skills…yada yada yada. She thought she would be able to have free time to explore London at night after the workshop in the morning. But HELL NOOOooo, the workshop is more than 12 hours long which let her not to have such opportunities to do so. 

Consequently, I have to make the exploration on my own. OMG…I am such a lousy explorer when I am on my own! So I ended up going to this park, Hyde Park. The biggest, I supposed? in the centre of the city. They have so many parks by the way.

After snapping this photo, I went off for shopping at the Oxford Street. LOL..And Oxford Street is just another typical shopping street. They dont shop in malls but on the streets…Lame right?!

And went to another Park the next day after shopping once again on Oxford Street. Told you…I am such a lousy explorer. My sister is only free on the 3rd day, total bullshit.

Random photo I took out of the boredom. Nice and quite street though. 

Regent’s Park. Random field I sat on after so much walking without knowing where I should go. 

So, I keep walking and walk and walk…LAME

Not so bad, the view. A lake in the middle of the park. 

 Saw a nest of baby ducks or birds or whatever you called them. They stink!

Flocks of pigeons. And there were random people who speak Malays were feeding them. I was surprised!lol\

Random field again. 

A pass way which I find very nice and quite. 

 

A busy street…this is only a small part of it. Took this from double decker. 

So this end my first 2 days. Park then shopping and then park again…and shopping after that. Nonsense!

Bought this for 20 pounds, it looks so nasty now cos it’s worn out by careless me. And also, London is definitely not a good place to shop. The stuff are way too pricy after convertings! You can get same qualities at anywhere else at better prices. 

 

I have very problemed skin in London. Lucky it’s much better now! My skin was flaky and dried. Pimples growing as well. Really is the pain the ass while traveling far from home. 

A four stars hotel. It doenst look like at all! >.< It’s very pricy again to stay in a hotel in London. Everything is at least 80 above for a decent room. Hostel is another choice for people who want to really save, but sharing room with 10 other people is not going to be a nice experience. You must be wondering, why going online when you have the chance to make precious walks around London? Nah…I am fine. I would just sit and wait for my sister come back in the room. 

Day 3 

Finally, my sister is done with stupid workshop. She thinks the workshop is a total shit! HA!

We went to Kew Garden, a royal botanical gerden located in outer area of London. We both like the place since there is no stupid crowds and annoying traffics. By the time she was done, it’s already 3pm. We gonna miss the opening hours of the garden. They close the garden and parks at night 

The old guy was in shocked!

Flowers growing on fence. They have nice housing area close to the garden.

Flowers blooming in the garden…But we missed the spring flowers part. Most of the flowers were almost dead. 

Swan, the loner in the park. 

So artsy, can?

The photo I am MOST proud of during the entire trip. So studio alike ok? No editings were made! 

The garden is so big that we don’t have enough time to explore every corner of it. And we already too late for the admission to the green houses and stuff. 

Like this particular part of the garden. 

Sniffing sniffing. 

After the garden, we proceed to the Chinatown. After Nigel’s reccomendation, decided to come to have a try on this restaurant’s BBQ duck. It’s claimed to be worlst most famous duck rice! = =

People lining up outside the restaurant wait to be seated.

Queing up. 

And due to the long line, we given up on waiting to be seated! LOL so impatient eh? So, we went to those typical all-you-can-eat chinese restaurant instead. =D It’s cheap and you get to eat plenty of food…and most important, their food tasted better than the one in Canada. So, dont mind eating AYCE in London.

Trafalgar Square. I dont know the history behind this square, and dont know why it’s one of the most important tourists spots in London, and I dont even know what the lions are for… Don’t ask me and yea I am pathetic, but I dont care! 

One from East and one from West meet in the central of Europe…

This ended my 3rd day.
