2007年最后一天
在还没跨越那界限前
珍惜最后的机会
完成未完成
美好，待续......

离谱

这家伙在KL的价值少过RM1
在英国的身价是 £0.75
£0.75 = 大概RM5
贵得离谱
都怪我想吃得离谱

回顾

一年的尾声
不禁回顾一年里的点滴
与现在相同状况的开始
考试埋没所有迎接新的一年的活动
2007年的开始和结束都在为考试忙
许许多多有深刻回忆的日子在脑海中徘徊
因为离开而存有依恋的农历新年
不属于自己的2月14日
不断为离开作准备的日子
土生土长的吉隆坡人第一次登上国油双峰塔的兴奋
6月20日第一次冲出亚洲
踏出那一步之前深受家人支持的感动
一份让人有勇气和力量的礼物
曼彻斯特的初体验
药剂行里打工痛苦的开始与渐渐进入佳境
网际网络成为最佳的联系工具
电脑前无止境的等待
8月19日回家的兴奋
如获重生的重逢
遇见那身在南半球不知何时再见的表姐
9月再次离开的不舍
体验诺丁汉淡淡忧伤的秋天
异乡生活里的材米油盐糖
最后
冷飕飕的冬季
还有
备战状态中的假期
无法轻松微笑的圣诞节
一年夏秋冬
人生里最不平凡的第二十一年

枯萎

当
艳红的花多一朵一朵凋谢
翠绿的叶子一片一片枯萎
是不是意味着结束即将来临？
陪伴了我三个月的玫瑰
是否无法陪我度过冬天？

Christmas Eve

Since it was Christmas, 1 day off from study was allowed. We decided to have a nice meal on this special day. After hunting around Nottingham city centre, we had chosen a buffet restaurant. 7 pounds with a large variety of food! We were too excited to see so much food and end up with over eating…-_-”

Everyone got this in the restaurant.

Chicken tikka salad

Curry chicken

Rice

Turkey with stuffing and cranberry sauce

Chocolate ice cream and frozen chocolate sauce

Christmas pudding

Fruits

Me! In the city centre.

The Christmas Waltz

Artist: The Carpenters

2 days to Christmas. Trying to create more Christmas feel by adding a Christmas song to my blog.

Mery Christmas may all your dreams come true!

冬至

2007年12月22日
真正的冬至
两粒小小的汤圆
大大的满足

戒

一个活在戒里的人
上限与下限
为自己设下许多框框
戒埋伏在生活上
与思考上
灵魂困上许许多多的枷锁
也许应该释放灵魂
逃脱界限
创造新的无限

miserable winter

Words are just not sufficient to describe my feelings. How much I miss home? Indescribable. Especially when I feel 10 tons of pressure. I miss everything I do to release pressure when I was at home. Food, piano, exercise…..

My life is just miserable in this winter break. Winter is the best time to hibernate, but instead, I have to lock myself in my room, just to reach the targets of works I set for myself. Work, work and work…Can’t do anything I used to do to release pressure. No piano, no Tong Kee egg tarts, no Mc Donalds, no exercise, not even walking around in my house. Yes…I hardly step out of my room!! I’m trying not to go to the living room because the living room is just too cold.

I’m actually quite looking forward for tmr cuz it’s the day we have to go out and do groceries shopping. Yes, finally stepping out of the house for the first time in the week. I’m definitely going to get myself some nice food! I need something to brighten my day and ease my sick for home.

希望的力量

很久没有注意力宏的新闻了，无意中然我发现这则很有意义的广告。
一则王力宏为世界展望会到寮国拍的40秒广告。
儿童是这世界未来的希望，帮助他们等于帮助这地球的未来。
一点点的力量，就是他们未来的希望。

Christmas @ Nottingham

One week to Christmas and the atmosphere had filled with Christmas decorations. I was shopping alone in the city centre on last Saturday. Loads of people shopping for Christmas present…I’m wondering is there anyone going to get 1 for me?

Random

2007年冬天
某个漂亮的早晨
勇敢地将手从口袋里伸出
冒着手指僵硬的危险拍的

房间里的最后一朵玫瑰
也是最美的一朵

我的特制cheesy pasta
Pasta + sauce + ham + onion + corn + mozzarella cheese
放进oven bake 10-15分钟
简单方便好吃
但最大的缺点是：不能常吃
因为乳酪高卡路里，容易致胖

Trafford Centre

I was looking at my pictures, and found these, which I never post about. Trafford centre, a huge shopping centre in Manchester. The decorations are really nice…and lots of shop over there! It’s a shopping paradise, I shall say. I think it is worth to visit if you are going to Manchester. It’s very easy to get there, just take bus no 250 and will take you straight to the mall.

匆匆

渐渐六个月
夏季匆匆
秋季匆匆
那么不知不觉的匆匆
回首
已是寒冷冬季
当你没发现这已经是冬季
我不禁失笑
还有满满的感慨
因为
时间总是匆匆
还没来得及握紧
已经流逝
那么无声无息
不留痕迹

蛋白质

不由得你不信
生命是由这些奇怪的物质构造而成的
简单得说
它叫蛋白质 – protein
详细得说
它是由carbon, hydrogen, oxygen 和 nitrogen组成的
最简单的材料
却是最复杂的组合
构成让人无法理解的语言

像人类社会那样
组织里的成员
有些的贡献很重要
有些的存在可有可无
寻寻觅觅
觅觅寻寻
藏在组织里重要成员的秘密讯息
我还是看不懂
生命的密码
就是那么复杂

冬 • 期许

零点的窗外
水珠凝结成了霜
呈现那晶莹透彻的图案
美丽得不可思议
我望着窗发呆
忘却了寒冷
这个冬季
幻想那梦幻的一片白茫茫
我期待…

Chocolate Fondue

I miss this so so so much!!! I must eat this when I’m back to KL!

Downtown Kuala Lumpur

Somewhere I used to familiar with......

Bendera Malaysia

The skyline of Kuala Lumpur

KLCC...one of my favourite places

当无法后退，我只能告诉自己勇敢前进
当离家很远很远，只有想念的心才能让自己靠近
当我听见你的鼓励，前方再也没有什么好害怕的
加油！

曾外婆

我真的气到无话可说了。我的曾外婆今年102岁，当年从中国越洋过海来到吉隆坡，为了生活过了很多辛苦的日子。经历无数艰难的日子，用尽自己的青春，终于把孩子们都养大了。可是，现在却还是过着很可怜的日子。可悲的是，正在制造悲剧的就是她辛苦养大的孩子！

年迈的她由4个儿子轮流照顾。虽说照顾，事实上是4个儿子把她当皮球丢，没有人愿意负起照顾妈妈的责任。重男轻女的古老观念在他们心里仍然根深蒂固，所以女儿没权说话。可怜的曾外婆双脚已经走不动，但每个星期都要搬到不同儿子的家去住。去到儿子的家也没有一间属于她的房间，在他们眼中只是一件碍眼物。终于在4年前，二儿子的家空出一间房间，让她长期住了下来。我们都以为曾外婆的日子从此以后会好过一点，但是世事总是难以预料。

儿子们的纷争从来没有停过，60多岁的人做的事情却好像小孩堆泥沙那般儿戏。吵架的内容好笑并充满戏剧性，不可思议也无法想象。大儿子说骗到妈妈的钱是他的本事。二儿子说妈妈在他的家住了4年，每年要收1万2千，4年一共是4万8千。永无止境的吵闹，最终妈妈被抛弃在那摇摇欲坠的祖屋，无人看顾。骗妈妈的钱是一种本事，我想最本事的是这儿子够无耻。供养妈妈的费用是1年1万2千，那么试问妈妈养你的20年要怎么计算？

人老了，曾外婆最近心脏和肺的功能都不太好，前几天进了医院。可耻的是，竟然有几个儿子不闻不问。厉害，果然够狠心，够忘恩负义。出院后，曾外婆又被抛弃在那祖屋，一个人。陪着她的只是一个无法沟通的印尼工人！当我从妈妈那里听到消息的时候，我气得七孔升烟，火冒三丈。我明白自己没有本事，没有能力照顾我的曾外婆，不然我才不会看这些老舅舅的脸色，自己把曾外婆接来奉养。我鄙视这些忘恩负义的老舅舅，但愿他们有一天会受到应有的惩罚。

亲爱的曾外婆，请原谅我身在外地无法去看你，很希望我回家的时候还能见到你。我为你诚心祈祷，祝你身体健康。

My Cameras

My first digital camera, Sony DSC-P200. Actually, I shouldn’t say ‘my camera’, cuz this is a family camera, but it seems to be mine becuz I was the one who use it the most. Haha…I had took a lot of traveling pictures and PharmNotts pics using this camera. And becuz of this camera, I became the photographer of PharmNotts! Always get lots of inspiration when I was holding it. Love it!

Specs:
- Effective 7.2 Megapixel
- 3x Optical Zoom
- Carl Zeiss "Vario-Tessar" Lens
- F2.8-5.2, 38-114mm (35mm conversion)
- MPEGMovie VX (Standard / Fine)
- Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0)
- PictBridge (USB Direct Print)

As I’m going to study in UK and obviously we can’t split the P200 into 2, I decided to get a new camera. This is finally ‘my camera’. I got this from my parent for my 21 birthday present. This brand new camera has an important mission to complete: to record what I’ve seen and what I’ve tried in UK. This is very important to me because moving away from home to study is a different stage of my life.


I’m here to introduce my camera…..


Tada!
A Sony DSC-W90!!!Oh yes, it’s Sony again…haha…I’m a big supporter of Sony. Sony T-series is nicer, more slim and stylish but I still prefer point-and-shoot camera. Why? This is due to a simple reason, cuz point-and-shoot camera is able to capture more light as the lens is able to move. So, the quality of the picture will be better when taking pictures in a dim environment.

Specs:
- Effective 8.1 Megapixel
- 3x Optical Zoom
- Carl Zeiss "Vario-Tessar" Lens
- 2.5 inches LCD screen
- 31MB Internal Memory, Optional Memory Stick
- Face Detection
- Double Anti-Blur Solution
- MPEGMovie VX (Standard / Fine)
- Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0)
- PictBridge (USB Direct Print)

Obviously, W90 is much more powerful than P200. It’s so cool to own a camera with face detection and anti-blur solution. The people of the pharmacy in Manchester where I used to work thought that KL is undeveloped place, and they are quite surprise to see me holding a much advanced camera than theirs. Wahahaha…They don’t know that KL is actually a much bigger city than Manchester. I’m not from kampung, ok? My W90 never makes me feel upset and it managed to complete its mission on taking 1000 pics in Manchester within 2 months! I’m bringing it to every where I go, can’t live without it.

The most wonderful melody…I should say.

北京

仿佛没有尽头的长城
有过皇帝足迹的天坛
皇帝皇后阿哥格格的红墙黄瓦
深陷幻想中的古代情节
还有
美味可口的北京烤鸭
犹如看表演的包饺子过程
记忆仍然那么新鲜
不知不觉已经渐渐离开我365天
总有一天
我会将这些记忆
在我眼前再上演一遍

思念

8小时的时差
10589公里的思念
很远也很近
很浅也很深

冷静...
控制...
忍...

欢欢

亲爱的阿欢
还好你有陪我越洋过海
来到这里
快乐或伤心
总有你在我身边陪着我

End-of-Semester Syndrome

这次病得不轻
严重的End-of-Semester Syndrome
主因是功课太过繁重而呼吸困难
连带副作用包括睡眠不足、情绪低落、精神恍惚
没有解药的不治之症
是否唯有逃离才能换我完整的灵魂？

University of Nottingham

Jubilee Campus

Jubilee Campus, where the business school located at. I’ve only been there for twice. It’s much smaller than University Park campus, but it’s much nearer to the Nottingham city centre. It’s not as beautiful as I thought…kena tipu by the pictures they printed on the info leaflet about the uni. University of Nottingham has 3 campus, and I haven’t been to the last one, Sutton Bonington campus..dunno when will I be there. Perhaps, time will tell…

昨天

回忆的陷阱
沉默
沦陷
光阴一点一点倒退
过去一点一点重现
那么靠近
那么虚幻
轻轻碰触
也许能握住
也许会破碎
虚幻与真实的朦胧
好像只是昨天
却也非常遥远
过去那段渐渐遗失的光阴
在我心里
原来还有这么一段美丽的天地

雪花

11月中旬
漫天纷飞的雪花
徐徐降落我手心
晶莹透彻的美丽
满是无法形容的不可思议
看着雪花渐渐融化
心中仍然无限惊喜

人生？

查阅电子邮件的时候，看到这几则很有趣的漫画。于是将漫画转载，与大家分享。图片也许不太清晰，若要将图片放大，可以在用滑鼠图片上按一按。

霜

空气中的水珠凝结成了霜
小草覆盖着闪耀的水晶
白茫茫一片的清晨
白色圣诞已经渐渐向我靠近

Nottingham Games

Since the campus of University of Nottingham is so huge, it’s impossible for me to explore every where already. Well…I shall say…this is my 1st or 2nd time being here, the large hall of the sport centre.

The first time I came into the sport centre through the reception! If not because of this Nottingham Games organized by Malaysian and Singaporean Society, I really don’t know when I will visit here. Okla, I have to admit that I’m not active in sports.

I was in charged of netball, which was totally in a mess! 4 blur volunteers who know nothing were dump at the netball court and forced to start working out what was happening. We don’t even know what are the rules and regulations of netball! Thanks to the organizer!

I think the picture above was Warwick against Manchester. Omg…Warwick was really good, but….they still lost to Manchester. Anyway, I’m a supporter of Nottingham and I’m glad that they played very well too. Please don’t think that it was a nice-weathered day becuz the team were wearing t-shirt and shorts only. The windy weather was killing us!! We where standing in the wind for the whole morning!

The scoring sheet.

And finally…nasi lemak as free lunch for the volunteers.

My Way

主唱：曹格

电脑那头不断重复传来他的声音
那独特而又磁性的声音
让人一听就难以忘记
一人分饰二人的角色
仍然是那么完美的配搭
唯一不完美的是
我没有这首歌的歌词
他的深情
我
抗拒不了

Christmas pudding lakemead yogurt

Looks quite tempting from the packaging…that’s why I choose it as my snack cuz I feel hungry after shopping for a few hours in the Nottingham city centre.

I thought it will be something looks like the picture shown on the packaging…

but….

Nothing is similar!!! Feels like kena tipu on the moment I opened the packaging. By the way…the yogurt is actually very nice! yummy~~I like the raisin and the brandy in the yogurt. Perhaps I’ll consider buying again next time. (I thought it’s nice, but Hui Lee said that it taste a bit strange…)

秋天的颜色

泛黄的落叶
淡淡的忧伤
秋天，让图片代我的文字解说

呼吸

如果可以
逃离这拥挤的空间后
我要用力呼吸
不理那空气混浊不清
也不理外头有多少有害物质在空气中漂浮
我要大口大口呼吸
将那把我攻击得不堪的廉价香水的臭气从我的肺部清理干净
别怪我一时太长气
是因为我无法透气
都怪那不懂得分辨气味的家伙坐在我附近

玫瑰

虽然还是很用心灌溉
盛开的玫瑰花还是枯萎了
也许我们只能一起携手度过这秋天
无缘一起度过那寒冷的冬天

我还是傻傻祈祷
但愿明年春天
你还能绽放让人动心的笑容

无痕

金黄的落叶
徐徐坠落
点缀着绿色的草原
告别那盛开的季节
缓缓迈向句点的孤寂
缘起缘灭
不留痕迹

算我倒霉
不能怪别人
别期望可以依赖
自己的事请自己负责任

静止

夏天到秋天
从远到近
时间匆匆流失
4个月消失在转眼间
11月的脚步渐渐靠在我身边
2007年最后的两个月

然而
我在这孤独的空间
仍然会想念
仍然会怀念
我那熟悉的街道
我最爱的味道
还有空气中漂浮的味道

每当我走在诺丁汉的大街上
吉隆坡的街景仍然浮现我眼前
一切那么靠近
也那么真实
并未察觉已渐渐走远
时间
仿佛停留在我离开那一天

blur perfect

站在最适当的位置，配上最灿烂的笑容
虽然照片模糊，但却仍然完美
真的，我很喜欢这张照片

手

22x2 = 44 只手指
22 只手不代表22个人
22除2 也不等于11个人
我21岁那一天
大家贡献自己的手拍这张照片
构成很有趣的一张照片
一个多月后的今天
它才成为我的收藏品

Nottingham

Part I

Since I have been in Nottingham for more than a month, I think I shall introduce some of the places of attraction in Nottingham.

St Mary Church.

There are lots of beautiful churches in UK but I think most of them are not allowed to take pictures inside the church. So, St Mary Church is one of the special churches to me cuz photography is allowed.

Well, it’s painted on the wall, the oldest inn in England.

Robin Hood, that’s what Nottingham is famous for.

秋季

雨后
一地的落叶
蔚蓝的天空
和耀眼的太阳
可是
我的心情灰灰的
走在诺丁汉的街道上
冷冷的

Astro华裔小姐

第10届Astro华裔小姐的亚军，丘涴鋌(右1)我中学的同班同学。过去看过很多人比赛，感觉上选美总是离我很遥远。而这次获奖的是我的同学，这种感觉太不可思议了！恭喜她获奖，我为她而感到骄傲！

怎么感觉怪怪的

红黄白与一片青绿
巨无霸与大自然
不协调的黄绿红

Internet finally…

I finally found an internet service provider who provides service much ‘better’ than streamyx. So, there’s some one who take over streamyx as No 1. Don’t ever think that the customer service in advanced country will be much better than third world country. The customer care line of my current internet service provider (I mentioned before, you know who) has good tactic in ignoring customer’s call when we really need them.

They finally came and install the internet on Wednesday. The way they so called ‘install’ is just came in and plug in the modem, then throw the cd for you to install the cd to your computer. Then, we, as the customers have to do everything else, although we have paid 25 pounds for the installation fee. Damn pk…charged me 25 pounds but do so little things. So, 3 of us (2 housemates) tried to install the stupid software and activate our line from 1.30 pm to 9 pm. We ended with nothing done but wasted our time. 3x7.5 hours = 22.5 hours which is equals to about a day. We tried to call their technical support but no one actually pick up the phone. Stupid…what for they set up a non-functioning technical support line?

Then, the next day we tried to call them to ask about our account status. This is even more funny, cuz they only put tape-recorded instruction to entertain their customers. The tape said: “Please online and check for your account status, thank you.” Stupid…if I have internet, I don’t have to call u la! Waste my time and money again!!!

Finally, I managed to borrow another activation cd from my friends who are using the same internet service provider as us. Then, we found out that this stupid internet people gave us a faulty cd which is not working!!!! OMG!!!! Why are they so so so stupid?? Luckily I am smart enough to borrow my friend’s activation cd…or else I’ll be sitting beside the modem and try to activate it forever.

So, the moral of this story is, don’t get internet from this stupid company. Just go and try others which I believe will be much better. And…congratulations to streamyx that someone beat them in this.

亲爱的不自量

对你真得很失望
自己有多少斤两请自量
懂少少请不要以为自己不得了
请不要将一双狗眼放在额头上

我不跟你正面较量
代表我还可以忍让
请不要向我的极限挑战
我不会是你的手下败将
因为我懂得什么是发奋图强

你不懂世界的宽阔我会原谅
反正你只懂生活在自己的框框
你以为的多姿多彩对我而言只是四四方方
我了解你的眼睛有少少色盲
所以我不会怪你看不见世界有多漂亮

我不懂得用夸大把自己包装
虚心向学使我变强
我有东方人的特点和内涵
总有一天我会将地球翻转

an ending is another beginning

I knew, rumours have been going around. Changing is always the unchanged rule. We, as a human is hardly resist changes on us and our life. I understand the fact that it’s interesting to know from the beginning till the end of the story. However, more explanations will not clear the mist. In fact, it hurts more to both sides. It’s hard to say what is right or wrong, as there are too much misunderstanding and misinterpreting. I shall bring an end to these dramatic changes. That’s all, full stop.

The time will tell. May we get back to the days we had, perhaps.

1095

第1095天
有你有我
从开始到现在
我们一起度过

亲爱的blog
在这个我没有internet的日子里
唯有提早一天为你庆祝
祝你

生日快乐

internet-free days

I’m not ignoring my blog, but I can’t access to internet at home. Stupid Virgin Media…I have been waiting for them to come over to install for a month! We have been calling them for N times, and they say they will get back to us. But yet…till now, they just won’t do what they have said. By the way, they are really fast in deducting money from our bank account. Can you tell me what kind of service is this??

So sad…that’s all I have to say…don’t really know when can I get my internet..haiz~

University of Nottingham

University Park Campus I


Trent Building, the trademark of University of Nottingham. I walk through the building on every morning when I’m going to the lecture hall.

The lake in front of Trent Building.

I don’t think they are swan or duck….so, just call them as birds. We could always see them near the lake. Besides, they produce lots of shit too….always beware…..(Kalau tidak…kena tahi sangat ‘ma fan’ la…)

Me. Why do I look so big??

Portland Building.
