N.Ireland - Belfast

so here's the looong belated post on my mostest favoritest bestest trip...to Belfast^^

everything started off quite randomly..i forgot where we got back from one night,everyone decided NOT to study and was lazing in luyi's room together with Wern.when suddenly we(or was it me?)came out with this idea of going Ireland in June.

check Ryanair.eh,got cheap Glasgow>Belfast flights.Dublin>Glasgow flights also cheap wo. SET! despite the indecisiveness of certain people,the 3 of us decided to book our tickets straight.and the decision was proved later to be one of my best decision ever made! =D

do NOT underestimate 3 girls.bleh. here you go!the 3 of us.

some random emo/artsy-fartsy shots...

by luyi...
by yours truly...XD

shortly after we landed,we took a looong bus journey ride to Ballintoy.looong as in reaally looong.from kuala lumpur to kedah like that.no highway.only cameron highland-like roads.but the last 2hrs ride along the coastline was very scenic.Wern had fun looking at me go "waaaahhhh.."

reached our hostel in the evening.didn't do much besides walking around the fields and see the sunset.did i mention the town we were in consisted of less than 50houses?but it was good..we had horses right infront of our hostel and sheeps right next to it.and the air stinks of sheep/horse/cow poo.cool stuff eh?my dream vacation.X)




Carrick-a-rede robe bridge. Soo scary can...*fakes scream* X) u can actually pay an extra GBP 1 for a cert to certify that u've crossed to bridge. ^^"


doggie:" hmph!i don't wanna play with u...wern jie jie...wern...weeeeerrrnnn jie jie don't run.."

"three black sheeps three black sheeps...lalala~" eh no,wrong song..
these sheeps were literally baa-ing right next to our hostel.eheheh...

how can angmoh trip be complete without alcohol kan?

got ourselves drunk with only a few sips of irish whisky..the whisky was nice.better than scotch but still..i prefer normal beer lah.
then we went to the famous Giant Causeway...which really left me in awe.those stones are really pentagon/hexagon-ish in shape!Best creator award can..God's Great^^




it was a pity that we only had less than 10min there...the public bus service just have to end so early.before 6pm?!#$#^%&!!!

unsatisfied,we decided to check out this Larrybane place near the rope bridge.got lost...
and we ended up here(or were we already there?)...perfect camwhore place!hohoho....u wouldn't wanna know how many shots we took at this spot alone.


i like this shot can...dunno why ^^" happy kan?

then next shot got story wan...i saw this nice cliff lar,so i proceed over without thinking...then this 2girls keep on shouting "eh careful...eh don't go over lar,very dangerous leh eh.." i insisted la aburthen...then after i got my shot......as usual,they also want one.- -" bleh XD
there u go...this shot.nice kan?



left Ballintoy early morning the next day and headed for Belfast city centre.


Belfast Wheel and the City Council building.

we walked n walked n walked and finally sampai Belfast's Big Fish.poor fish...have to bear with our pattern yang berbagai-bagai.

we posed with Big Fish.
we jumped with Big Fish.
we kissed Big Fish.-____-"
shortly after this shot,a wee boy in bike came over and asked "why do u wanna kiss the glass fish?*innocent innocent*" paiseh sial...X)


nothin better to do...we walked towards the Queen's University.

"wheeee~~ngor graduate jor!" eh no...wrong uni.

The Queen's University,Belfast.
really really nothing to do jor...so we went to the Botanical Garden.^^"

The 3 Flowers.

I mean the Real 3 Flowers lar ok..bleh.

so kyuute lah the taste!

Kopparberg pear cider.
a swedish cider.
a gem indeed.

quoted from yannee "the taste is so kyuuute!"

love it.love it.love it.buuurrp.

luckily it was a late discovery.if not I would have turned into an alcoholic long time ago for sure. ^^

random stroll

Ahoj!

housemates were all away for their vacations..and when people around me worried that i would be lonely at home,I had The Fionna next door.and being with The Fionna means doing random stuff.real random stuff..

I mean...who on earth will walk 30min at 12am in Glaswegian weather for a bowling session when he/she knows very well that the bowling alley is very likely closed?

random rite....?

hahahahaha....anyway,it was fun.I wish to have more of these random walks...good bonding sessions.
all of us...from left:Peter,Angeline,Pavel,Alicia,The Fionna,George(?),Fhern,Me,Bao.
I wished that one day when i stumbled upon this photo again,I'll be able to recall their names..=)



with the bowling alley closed,we decided to teach the Czech fellas whatz the meaning of camwhoring...

we thought Peter would be a good candidate to hold the camera since he's the one with the longest arm...

erm......maybe not...
Peter's 2nd attempt....



okaay..still unsuccessful.


the professional-camwhore-Malaysian Fionna decided to give it a try...


masih tak boleh...-____________-""""




impatient and unable to understand the fun behind camwhoring,George decided to snatch the cam and just take a photo of us instead.hahahaha...XD

mah champion.mah boi...=D

him last year.dumb Piers&Amanda..who didn't put him through.


him this year.the audition and he got through.

him during the grand finale!it was electrifying!

George Sampson.winning routine.winning determination.and of course,winning smile.aww...=)

Britain's Got Talent 2008 Champion.

reminiscence.

spot me...*winks*

was procrastinating not to sleep browsing through random photos in my collection and came across this...oh gosh,how long was this...3?4years ago?I missed them...i wonder if they feels the same?

how long more when I'll post up a photo of my p105 frenz with exactly the same message?

dang..sky's getting bright liao.better go sleep.

tulips..lotz of them.heaps of them.apa colour pun ada..gigantically-sized.

but for some..Volendam's more like a shopping paradise.It was a total souvenir shopping spree..not for me lar of course. X) ignore that bag I was holding.I was just helping.honest!


- some artsy-fartsy shots.



One of the best place I've been so far..Colourful.Lively.Varieties.Friendliness.

but this is too much!

we allowed you into our country (legally/illegally) for you to make a better life...
but useless you couldn't get a proper job.or did you thought that Malaysia is a place for easy money?

and when useless you couldn't get a job or just simply doesn't wanna work your black hairy ass off for some hard-earned money...you decided to spend your last Rm10 on a big parang and earn quick buck.

worthless,useless f*cktards!How i wished the tsunami had washed your whole nation away!for now..i wished that the whole bunch of you would starve to death and rott in HELL!bloody worthless...gah!even assholes worth more than you!at least they give us the ability to shit bloody hell...

I swear I'll never hold pity for any single one of you anymore..photos with half your head deflated?pieces of your rotting brains(oh you actually have one?) scattered on the roadsides...serves you RIGHT!

I'm sorry but this has gone too far...

If I'm granted one wish...

I wish I'm back home right now.
never in my life had I feel so helpless...so far away.

got this from crz's blog...

If we win, we praise God.
If we lose, we praise God.

makcik that ASS-U-ME

There was this makcik who came into the shop to get a few pieces of Lionsdale t-shirts.It was pretty obvious that she came from the same country as I am...so being friendly,i sorta made a wee chat with her la while she was payin for her stuffs.

"Jumpa lagi." was the joke she cracked before she left.

true enough.moments later she returned.

and she claimed that there was a mistake in the receipt.
2 same shirts with different prices.

yea no doubt.I do admit that Lionsdale tshirts do look the same most of the time...but I pointed out to her later on the differences in design+the different barcode.

and the VERY THE OBVIOUS DIFFERENT PRICE TAG.

dei...the font is at least size 20 ok?

at first,I felt abit apologetic..but the more she accused,the more pissed I became.(oi,makcik..ingat pasar malam ka?)She insisted that it was our fault to put 2different clothes in the same rack,and insisted that the 2shirts were the same.-____-"

"I assume they are the same"
"I assume they are of the same price"

dei...does 5.09pounds looks anythin like 3pounds to u?

we told her right from the beginning there were no way of a refund.and credit notes were the most we could give her.repeated a few times somemore ok...frustrated,i actually repeated the same line using bahasa melayu.

and i assumed she abit terasa lar(coz she replied me in perfect grammatically correct english)...maybe she thought I was assuming that she couldn't understand english or something...

in the end,she still ASSUMED that the tshirts were the same because they were of the same material and put at the same rack...and still INSISTED that it was our fault for making them looks the same+not giving her a refund.

-________________________-""

*tuuuuut*

luckily Ashley was in a good mood today i tell u...if she started *tuuut*-ing that makcik's nenek moyang cucu cicit cacat or worst,nationality,then I "white white" kena...

ASSUME = making an ASS outta U and ME.
and oi makcik,I bloody did NOT assume u tak paham bahasa inggeris ok?because cikgu david ajar kita tak baik hari hari pakai assume aje.lain kali....boleh guna CONFIRM?

Sports Direct Argyle St.

To everyone in Sports Direct Argyle St:

The short 7months journey with u guyz will be one of my most unforgettable memories i have in Glasgow...I don't mean to sound corny but I really do love every single one of you..

-Ashley...I was initially very scared of her as she was very coool.and being in Glasgow for less than a year didn't help me understand most of the stuff she said..sorry for the hiccups i caused once in a while...but I do love u!thanks for the guidance+help+friendship =)

- ButtCrackDavid the boss!yayaya...he is the one I've been talking about since the first day I worked.cool+nice..from my job interview to the very last moment!I really do hope I'll get a similar boss in the future..really sorry for taking your tolerance for granted most of the times..


okok..prolly the photo of him and me didn't do him much justice..he just couldn't stop talking -___-""

so i shall include another photo of him...

not bad looking huh?

Carol,Sarah,Alana,Lindsay,Pamela,Steven,InnocentBoiRoss,Nicola,
Markie,Tygue,Jamie,Andy,Stevo,Will ,Jade&Tasha(who left before me)..and everyone else..Love u guyz too!sorry for being awkwardly quiet most of the time..I really do hope that our frenship won't end there but I guess I just couldn't get myself 2talk to you guyz more..> <" love u guyz lotz...

I'll definately miss every single one of you.*hugz*

my constant reminder.

There is an endless song
Echoes in my soul
I hear the music ring

And though the storms may come
I am holding on
To the rock I cling

How can I keep from singing Your praise
How can I ever say enough
How amazing is Your love
How can I keep from shouting Your name
I know I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart want to sing

I will lift my eyes
In the darkest night
For I know my Savior lives

And I will walk with You
Knowing You'll see me through
And sing the songs You give

I can sing in the troubled times
Sing when I win
I can sing when I lose my step
And fall down again
I can sing 'cause You pick me up
Sing 'cause You're there
I can sing 'cause You hear me, Lord
When I call to You in prayer
I can sing with my last breath
Sing for I know
That I'll sing with the angels
And the saints around the throne

of 2apples and a big bowl of Greek yoghurt...

shall be my lunch till my Greece trip in June.

for nice photos...determination,YiJie...determination.

study break-spread the gloom

untitled

ok...everyone knows I don't fancy Jay Chou enough to actually google up his photo and post it here....but something happened.somethin totally....absurd.

Mum found this photo in her computer 2 days ago.

and she thought it was a photo of HU YI JIE taken recently in Amsterdam!

and u know what's the most interesting part?

she thought this photo was nice and she made it as her desktop wallpaper.

I met a wee Czech girl today.

Her mum was busy keeping the change into her purse, and so i passed her the bag instead.

"Děkuji."

taking the bag,she gave me her smile in return.the sweetest smile...cuteness!

liar liar pants on fire

Ann called.
a deep breath and i decided to pick up the phone.

uncountable texts,voicemails and missed calls from her but i just couldn't make myself replying... come to think of it,i really don't know why.taking a bus trip alone every 6weeks to the southside just....doesn't sound comfortable.mixing with a whole group of gwailous doesn't sound comfortable.either.

the point is...im weak.aye...i admit my lack of knowledge in christianity,lack of communication skills make me inferior...praying alone,aye sure.praying aloud infront of everyone?neh...

i had been thinking hard...for an excuse,of why i did not reply to her call/text...but i could hear Ps.Liam's sermon..continuously playin in my mind...guess it was God aye?XD i thought i might still be called for stewarding even tho i've missed the meetings+not replying to any of their text/calls but i was wrong...no text calling me for stewarding.

so....finally i decided to give Ann a text.still...have not given up in making a "reasonable excuse"
>>busy with assignments so unable to make it for meetings.
aye rite.

she phoned me up today...somehow after a wee chatting,i told her about the real reason for me not being able to attend the meetings.
she said no problem.and told me to contact jossy about it...and that she will mail me the stuff instead since i can't make it for the meetings.

i almost teared wey...

oklar right now sure u'll be thinkin whatz the big fuss lar...just freaking take a bus and go to the meetings lar since it's every 6weeks,kan?and whatz the big deal with telling Ann a lie/a truth lar,kan?

geez.......dunno lah,i guess only me myself understands whatz happening in my head rite now lah.

say people...

it's just darn frustrating lar,when u know somethin's so good...but yet people doesn't believe u,and then u don't have enough knowledge and ability to convince them to blieve u.absobloodylutely(quoted from minimei) frustrating.

aiyah..the bottomline is...

God is good lah. =)

the last lecture

nice.
=)

my all time favourite...

it was raining heavily.
a very old lady slipped and fell while crossing the busy road.hard.
her old husband struggled to get her back on her feet.
the green light turned red.
and the stupid traffic actually honked them.

i swear i'll never allow my parents to be like them.

Ps. Liam said...

the lowest level of christianity: is being blessed
but the highest level of christianity: is to be a blessing. =)

surprised.

luyi's 29/2 surprise reminded me about this wee surprise i got few weeks back as well...but ofcourse lah,ppl's surprise and mine different lah...mine is just so that i can "stay strong and don't give up"...i dunno about ppl wan lah..

the rumours about the result for our pp3 resit exam were high...we were devastated.yes,not even one from the WHOLE gang of us got a 'pass' for that bloody exam...again.

for this sweet anonymous,thanks alot of the choc...but surprises will only work on me when i get to know the truth in the end...and no,until i know who gave me this,it shall continue to sit quietly on my table.as for the pp3 resit results...i choose to continue to be an ostrich, i.e. I choose not to ask and not to find out whether the rumour's true...till then,i'm still praying for a miracle to happen.

70 words

Speedtest

ok i know i shouldn't be doing this when i can spend that very minute (and another 2minutes used for bloggin) to read through journals...oh well...

nerve compression...sien sial. ><"

"dear God,why did You create 'distance'?"

just when i thought i've found life,just when i thought i've found new friends...just when i realised i am about to leave and move on again.

I was half way rushing to complete my research results.

the deadline's tomorrow.

I couldn't find my soft copy of my microscopic data.

I need to submit my photocopied visa to my boss at work.

HE tell me to stop doing my report and go submit my visa.

the Glasgow rain+gust.

HE tell me to stop doing my report and go submit my visa.

i went.

damn i was down.and worried.and wonder what will happen if I really couldn't find my research data.

him:hiya EJ!good to see you..*a smile that melts my heart STAT*
me: hi dav..*went on to tell him that i was there to submit the photocopied visa*

him:aye,u can leave it to me.oh and the problem regarding your pay's all sorted out ya' know..*THAT smile again...*melts even faster...
me:*went on to the usual "oh really,geez thanks blablabla*

him:*looks at the photocopied visa*!@%^%$^%^(scot-glish which i couldn't understand)..EJ actually look pretty and quite cheeky in these photos aye?*laughs*
me:*terus melt 101%...*

couldn't help but smile all the way back...ah...nevermind the results.

HE really knows how to brighten up my days! =D

ohyea,did i mention that i manage to sneak into the computer lab(there was classes going on) and found the data i wanted?

~sweeeet~

omigosh omigosh omigosh...he actually remembers meeeeee!!!

him:hi, im *not going to tell u who*
me:hi, im EJ(coz pronouncing "yi jie" is too complicated from angmohs)

him:oh yea,i remember u.u were sitting right at the back.
me:*trying to control my excitement while faking*oh really?

*grins ear to ear*

omigosh omigosh...excited can?!

hm...just to give you the level of his good looking-ness...let just say...
he beats the "3As" handsdown.no doubt.

ahh....*faints*

Happie 3rd Anniversary,peeps. =)

and

Happie Valentine's..mwah~*

I might not be blessed with a pass..
but I'm blessed to have a bunch of peeps like u...

thanks for all the effort gals...i thank God for you, you and you.

but lets continue to pray for a miracle...lets have it His way.

Happie Chinese New Year,peeps.

1st time not celebrating chinese new year at home!ahh~good ole Sitiawan...

i actually made an effort to look for these programmes in Youtube!the more traditional the better!and i replayed and watched the whole thing over n over again!

homesick aside,how many of us will actually watch those chinese new year programmes shown on RTM2 every year?not me...

now i learnt to not take things for granted...

hApPiE cHiNeSe nEw yeAr everyone! =)

I can't possibly handle another failure.
not now...

Lord,I need a miracle.

Why do i have teeth that's so special?WHY?WHY?WHY?

my set of teeth are well taken care of since the day i was born(even when i'm toothless!) and now my toothache is driving me nutz!

just because of the darn special teeth i have.DAMN THANG!

The thought of spending prolly three hundred pounds to get a hole drilled into my perfectly fine tooth and kill it pissed me off.real bad.

ARGHHHHHH~!!!!!fcuk.

i thought i've done my job pretty well...
but guess i'm wrong.
in fact,i'm way far from what i thought i've achieved.
i'm running out of idea what i should do to achieve anymore...by just being myself?
ya rite.it just sound oh-so-utopian.

guess the fear of being disappointed is still lurking...somewhere.

am i still expecting too much?or am i really still not good enough...to be called as a qualified pal?

cultural shock

yes yes,after reading suechoo's blog regarding this matter,i thought i should blog about it too...since there may be a few of you peeps there who read my blog but not hers XD harharhar...

for those people(prolly only my mum back in msia) who still keep contact with me either through msn/skype know,i am currently in a busy and totally stressed out mode. since the beginning of january,i had been busy with

-15days of 9-5pm research lab
-pP3 resit
-research project method draft
-biopharm5 class test preparations
-3 pharmaceutical care portfolios and reports (2000words each)
-cpP evidence-based medicine report
-pharmaceutical care case presentation preparations

ohwell...this is part and parcel of being a FINAL YEAR UNDERGRAD u might say...

yea,prolly thatz how we are brought up since our 1st day of education.

heavy workloads?too many exams&assignments?
i guess sleeping an average of 4hrs/day for a week+caffeine overdose will do...
the bottom line is,we somehow gonna COMPLETE the whole damn thing.no questions asked.no fuss.mou dak keng!you know how we are also taught since young to respect ppl who are older than u,respect the cikgu(even if the suck).....nilai hormat-menghormati have the most subnilaiS i remember XD long-life SPM Pendidikan Moral.

today...
is my 1st time of actually having students complaining to the cikguS about heavy workloads>cikguS had meetings with students>vote>agree to look into the matter and reduce the workload if possible.

whoa~geng chao!

yea i admit that i actual admire the freedom of voicing out your unsatisfaction and opinions here in angmoh-land.my gosh,imagine if we were to do that back in IMU......prolly gonna get a good-long lecture or somethin... 3big people from pharmaceutical care came to the class and wanted to discuss the matter with us the students.but i guess matters become a wee heated...so the session ended with a vote (who would prefer to have a lighter workload?DUH!) and the lecturers agreed to give us a feedback next week.i think the session left the msian students dumbstruck.cultural shock kot...

sure gonna have to belanja the home students lor if the lecturers really decide to reduce our essays from 3 to 2...one thing tho,freedom of speech aside...i still think there's a need to have the basic respect when talking to the elderly/cikguS...even if u're extremely unsatisfied...
