birthday wishes

Hi ma,

Happy birthday! didn't realise that you are getting old and your grey hair is getting a whole lot more... How good it will be if you are here in the UK to enjoy all these that i'm enjoying, rather than you being alone most of the time at home.

I'm sorry and happy birthday! Hope you like the flowers that i've ordered for you.

my new work place

Just within a week of work, I've heard lots of gossips about one another... oh dear... looks like everywhere u go, there's bound to be gossips... especially if you put a bunch of girls to work together... i better watch my mouth and be careful with what i say... i think the people there are quite sensitive towards the things you say. Joke or not, you'll never know how they will react to it...

Other than the gossip thingy, they are generally ok... they treated me good despite me being the odd one out, the work is not too hard and the working hour is quite alright.. at least it's more human and don't have to wake up at some odd crazy hours like 4am!!

I'm doing both reception & serving breakfast & dinner as well. It's fun because i get to learn to cook some english dish with some funny names on it. :)

This is where i work:

crazy

my new colleagues say that I'm crazy to ditch the hot weather in Malaysia to come to the cold & gloomy England..

hahaha...

I told them i like the weather here because it's cold, then one of them say: "wait till winter, see if you will still say the same"

another say: " you like cold weather? you should go to Russia then"

hahaha...

can't wait to experience winter...

freeze my brain out! =D

church

I miss going to church... i really do... :(

i miss all that happened in PCC

I miss Pastor Isaac, Pastor Lydia, Pastor Thomas

I miss the Jr Cids team

I miss the kids in jr cids

I miss those that I've known in church

Those that became close to me...

I wonder if I'll be able to make such friends here...

Lord... help me out here...

before & after

been busy working.. the shift is quite odd for the time being due to training...
I'm in the training to become chef.....

hehe... no lar...
i'm currently working in a small hotel where i am the receptionist, the chef, the operator and also the waitress.... and i'm happy with the job... siau right?

I've also moved in to a single room, staying with a total strangers without him by my side. I think i can manage alright...

As my place is not too far from the hotel, therefore i'm spending 10 minutes walking down hill to work & probably 15 minutes up hill back home.... oh well.. need those exercise after feasting for so many days or weeks...

In Penang, i have a double bed room, sharing with a friend i know, a sit down job that only needs to answer phone and sell some pcs & a nice white myvi to drive around and i'm not happy with my life.. (i do miss my car though)

now, everything is reversed and i seems to be happier.... so at least i think i am right now...

weird right?

UK..... it's a crazy place...

Employed

I think I've got myself a job... however, I'm not too sure if they are aware of my visa status...

hmmm.... I wonder if I'll be employed and made redundant in few days time? :s

*slap*slap*

I think I still don't believe that I've got the job... The reason perhaps is that I haven't seen the acceptance letter and the way they hire me... a bit not systematic... so... dunno if jadi or not one...

Just don't wan to put too much hope on it just in case it's a false alarm.. :(

Anyway... all glories still have to go to God! :)

I was thinking "God, if this is not the job You want to do, then let it be... "

Then, she called & told me that I'm hired...

I shall confirm everything when I receive the acceptance letter..

doubtful little me... sigh...

Lake District

To write about our trip in Lake District is like writing a thick novel.

Alot of thoughts about u guys when we were there. It's no doubt the most scenic place I've seen so far and there's many things that can be done there with a group of friends.

It's a waste really, just to go hiking with only 2 of us, when it's gonna be soo much fun hiking with many close friends.

It's a waste too, to go rowing with only 2 of us, when there's so much water to be splashed on all of our friends!! :)

Camping sites are plenty too, but what fun will it be if it's just the 2 of us?

We miss u all...

new friend

I found a new friend few days ago when I was at Lake District.

The first time I met him as along the way to the lake. There he was, sitting on top of the road sign, all by himself, wet because of the rain earlier. He didn't say anything. He just smiled at me.

I walked over to him and I took him home. I gave him a good shower under the hot water and have to put him on the window to get dry.

He's too adorable to be left at the cottage and therefore I brought him back to Southport.

Meet Marky, Teddy's new friend. :)

holiday is over

holiday is over and reality must comes now...

I've managed to went for a job interview in a hotel in Lake District. So far so good but fingers crossed for good news on Monday.

The sooner I move out, the better it will be for everyone...

Can't wait...
