Be A Fool Once But Not Twice

Half year has gone and I thought I would get better one day, but I failed... I failed big time. It even gets tougher for me now, all alone in England walking after your footsteps. How many times when I walk on the street, breath in the air and hoping you are the one who I am going to see after a long day. I have so many things to tell you but you ain't there/anywhere for me anymore. No more jokes, laughters, arguments and discussions for a while already. We used to be so good but why are we not talking to each other now...

I am not okay. You are fine, I know you will.

xoxo, wanted to call you an idiot but I am missing this idiot so much

Living In A Coldness Outside, Warmth Inside


Heart it now ♥


Hello peoples... to those who have knew me for ages or whom is getting to know me thru my blog, I kiss your cheek two times :) This is how people here say HI when they see you... I am practicing so practice makes perfect kisssssss :)

Do you know how much I jealoussss of people in Malaysia?? Sooooo damn much!! As much as the urine that you have just pee in the toilet bowl. Hahahahahha~ Really, I was the little creepy girl who used to admire countries with four seasons... especially Winter (but I heart Autumn the most)... It was so romantic in my imagination... hold hands walking on the street... my freezing hands in his pocket. Isn't it sound so sweet during Winter?? Yea yea yeaaa.... movies are all bad influences!! Hmph** But I could not disagree with that thou because I ain't here with loved one, so, I interpreted the wrong messages. LOLs.

Anyway, my point is to tell you that the weather in London is getting colder and colder... is 4 degrees now. I hope there's no (-) degrees for this year, I am not prepared for this hard time. Well, I should put it this way, I can bear the cold but not the wind.. when the wind blows.. I can feel myself shaking (not the cradle will rock) Hahahaa...Telllly-ble (terrible) isn't it...?

Now you know where am I coming from when I mentioned, I am so much jealous of people in Malaysia. I am positively missing the bright x sunny Sunshine in my lovely hometown lorrrrr (look I still speak like a Malaysian). I miss you like crazy~~~ Weather is cold, my bed is cold, fingers are cold too... Fortunately my heart is warm inside, as warm as the chair which you have just sitted (gosh I am enjoying using stupid description). Hahahaha! They say a change of place will definitely change a heart of someone too..? Do you think it will..? No matter what, I look forward for an excellent change of myself, a better person that makes you adore me more & more... *Crossing our fingers* Deal?

Classes have started this week after last week's orientation. The feeling of going back to school is a mixture of anxiety x contentment. Anxiety because my last sitting in a class was 5 years back, I could barely remember how I did it to my graduation. Contentment, as this is a dream came true to me, to sit in a hall with hair all tied up, nerdy spec and making notes as fast as I can. As long as I have the heart of learning, exploring abroad with all kinds of different cultures ; tremendous difficulties will not gonna shake me off easily eventhough you were chuckling at my back, pointed at my age :)

Till then, if you are keeping a dream quietly, ever think of make it a ''Dream Comes True''? It doesn't mean you have to give up certain things to achieve it, is simply building another possiblity to yourself. Not believe that dream will finally came true? Well me too... Never-ever believe in it till it happened on me. A dream will always be a dream if it's not told or created. In another way, perhaps you can be someone who help others to make their dream comes true too.

For what I had or almost have it in my hands, every appreciation goes to my family & friends. They have been so wonderful in my life.

To my readers who are living in Winter, keep yourself warm. In Summer all year long, get yourself naked!!! LOLs

xoxo, when a man/woman loves their children, endlessly they dedicated.

First Time In Hatfield Where I Had Feel For

Hatfield @ Herfordshire

Introduction of Hatfield: Hatfield is a town and civil parish in Hertfordshire, England in the borough of Welwyn Hatfield. It has a population of 29,616 and is of Saxon origin. Hatfield House, the home of the Marquess of Salisbury, is the nucleus of the old town. From the 1930s when de Havilland opened a factory until the 1990s when British Aerospace closed, Hatfield was associated with aircraft design and manufacture, which employed more people than any other industry. Hatfield was one of the post-war New Towns built around London and has much modernist architecture from the period. The University of Hertfordshire is based there.

Places of Interests: 
  • College Lane Campus and de Havilland campus of the University of Hertfordshire.
  • Hatfield House (Is where the Tomb Raider and The Batman Begins casted)
  • Mill Green Museum and watermill.
  • The Galleria.
  • Hatfield Business Park, former de Haviland plant, later became Base Systems Hatfield and was used for the filming of Saving Private Ryan(film) and Band of Brothers (TV series).

My visit to Hatfield on the first week was a very unexpected trip I should say. However,  it was truly an amazing experience in Hatfield with my old mate -Yi Ping. She's my primary school mate and we have not seen each other after so long, probably 10 years? I think it counts about that after we left school in Year 2000. Again, this is the power of facebook :) She called up and I was joking to her that I miss rice so much (Fyi, I am a rice bin), and she's being so helpful by offering a few days of overnight at her place in Hatfield. I took her kind offer and I was so happy when I know I am going to see my old friend on the day itself! In the evening, she and her husband - Eric drove over and pick me up at my house, we headed back to their home for homecook dinner and the entire journey took us about 45 minutes. So we blah blah blah in the car by doing some catch up and Eric told me 45 minutes is not consider far if you are driving in England. Hatfield is 20 miles (32 km) to the North of London.

In Hatfield, me x Yi Ping spent almost every day hanging out (except on Friday we stay in and chit chat) at the nearby supermarkets and The Galleria for groceries shopping and some outlets shopping. I did not buy much because Hatfield is a comfy small town and all I wanted to do is to get my daily needs and send them home so I can stuck myself in the house without walking on the street and get strike by the wind while looking for foods. That was a nightmare and I would never ever want to look back.

Lovelocker's sharing: During winter, the sky gets so dark at 4pm. It was last Saturday night when I got back at 6pm (I thought I was still early?) but when I walked out from the tube station, I freaked myself out and started to curse... then started to pray.... LOLs!! Puhhhlease please let me safely reach home. By the way, I started to run when I reached the corner of the street.. :P My brain only gets to fuction at this moment by strucking all sort of spooky ghost images in movies.. Therefore I took a deep breathe... and suddenly I was not racist because I pray to all gods. LOLs

The 5 days x 4 nights of hospitality at Yi Ping's house was very comfortable yet a good enjoyment. She has a very lovely house which she and Eric spent a lot of time for the selection x renovation before it became such a multi-functional house. I was lucky enough to have enjoyed their hardworks :) Besides that, Yi Ping's cooking has been missed after I returned to London, especially her corn soup x taiwan-style beef mee hoon x hot & spicy steamboat. Yumyyummmy.... Sincerely thanks to the husband and wife. I look forward to meet them and their baby-boy soooooon! :x

So Hatfield has reserved my first week in England so I am thinking where is next? London is fascinating, indeed a metropolitan city with its unique history. Sometimes, a city girl do wish to revel out of the busy city. People say there is a place called ''City of Masks'' and described as ''Undoubtedly the Most Beautiful City built by man''. Woooooooah....Being one of Europe's most romantic cities, how can I not paint my story in this city of canals? Is time to work hard and stretch myself for my studies, later reward myself a holiday in Italy -  一大粒 ! Hahahaaahaa

xoxo, aza aza fighting!! See you panda eyes :)

When In London






Hello everyone!! This is a hello from miles away and yes I have finally settled down in London. The house that I am staying in, is located at Tottenham Hale, only 20 minutes tube to Oxford Circus (near to my school).

The house I live in,  I call it an IKEA home because most of the furnitures x kitchen wares are from IKEA. It is a nice house with friendly housemates. Only 3 rooms are taken included mine. I have 3 housemates - they are a pair of couple from Italy whom I had met on my first day. Another gentlemen from Dutch and guess what?? He is super duper handsome (perhaps he's holding a book :P ). Arghhh... misleading huh. Anyway, he was on vacation and just return home so I have never met him until an hour ago when he came knock on my door for self-introduction. I hope I am cool enough when I was talking to him even with my Minnie Mouse hairband.... LOL (so embarrasing)

So.. what have I done in London and how's the New Year celebration? Hmmm... it was an amazing night at my friend's apartment. I met some new friends from Malaysia and most importantly, I had home-cooked dinner (RICE)! Thanks to Ellis for her hospitality and her warmth caring towards a new friend (me). Talk about the last day of 2011 yet my first day in London, I arrived at Heathrow Airport in an early morning. I wandered around because hotel check-in is at 3pm (in the end I manage to check-in at 1pm) Tee-hee~ I took a black taxi to the hotel and do you know the taxi fare was extremely exxxxpensive!! Guess how much???? Is 69 pounds!!!!  $&*^#@!* (Equals to MYR350 per trip) Damn it. There goes my 69 pounds got burned on my first day.

After checked-in, I took a nap in the hotel room because a long haul flight can really make your body get so exhausted. But one good thing was - NO jetlag. I thought I would fall sick but surprisingly I am all well now, except feeling headache on yesterday :) I was suppose to reach Ellis's apartment at 7pm but I over-napped, I jumped up from bed and get ready to leave as soon as possible. Luckily I had some experience travelling by train back in Singapore, therefore, I spent little time figured out the tube map and how to get to my destination - Hendon Central. Everyone was waiting at the dining table when I walk into the room and as usual, self-introduction is a must. After, the dinner started and we talk x laugh throughout the night. And it was my first time watching Sin Cities! (It is a x-rated TV programe showing naked men x women, example hosting a naked pole dancer in the club or silly friends do naked ice-skiing). Yeah you will keep shouting ''What The Hell'' or ''Ohhh My Goddddd''. Back to the countdown, we ended 2011 by welcoming our fabulous 2012 with champagne glass knocking and cheering to a brand new 2012!! Thank you & Goodbye to 2011, I am 30 this year!! OMG... My trade mark song for this year - ''I am not a girl, not yet a woman'' (pass me the mic please). LOL

The tube station was closed after 12 so Ellis suggested to stay overnight at her place since it was late. We had some chats and she shared her stories with me before we heading to bed. She's so much younger than me and I want to confess a thing, a person who leave their home to overseas at early age will eventually makes you grow stronger x tougher x independant. It was a reflection when talking to Ellis, just like me myself back in 20s.. (wow that's 10 years back) And now.. I am at my golden age (No it's not only the guy entitled it). Can you smell my woman's spirit?? (Flipping my hairs) Hahaha. Say YES or I am going to unfriend you in my Facebook.

I know who you are!! You you you & youuuuu.. !

Anyway, the 1.1.2012 is a good beginning to me. It was the day that I move into a place call home in London, the stress was finally relief once I got into my room, cleaned x decorated it and.... unpacked my stupid big fat 32kgs luggage!! hip hip hooray (For V-ictory) Every moment, I pray to God for good things in London, without my family, I have to make it through all by myself (I am feeling tired for the all-by-myself, sometimes). So bless me wherever I am or send me a guidance.

If you are planning to study in London or even upgrade youself with a short programe, and you are looking for a room? I would like to give you a hand, here is the website http://www.britanniatravel.com/halls.html which I got my current place in London. Quite a promising organisation and the person in charge is responsible too. Click on it and go to Accomodation colume, choose which type of room x zone that you are interested and best fit your budget. Kindly just send them an email and he/she will get back to you very soon (Public Holiday is excepted). I hope it helps or at least... give you an idea of the rates.

Now, I am more than happier to share my Part.1 photos taken in London. Due to first day's sickness, sorry that lovelocker can only took a few photos but more to come during my days in London k :)
