My 20th Birthday Wish!

I wish to have a small party at my living room, only both my parents & myself. And most likely we’d cook Steaks, Lambs, Cowslaw, Spaghetti Bolognese, Potato Salad, and Beers for papa =) Furthermore, I’d beg papa to buy Salmon Sashimi (2 portions), White Tuna Sashimi (2 portions), Tobiko Sushi (5 portions, only for this time round), Cucumber Maki & Crabmeat Maki (1 portion for each).

And there’d be Cheese Cake… papa loves cheese; mommy is not a big fan of cheese though; I love cheesy food; and my dogs they love cheese to bits too!!!

Looking back on the past few years, I had always been away from home for my birthday. So, I really want my next birthday party to be celebrated with no one else but my most beloved parents. It’s never too late to realise it now I hope.

Skype Session:

Me: Don’t you wanna wish me a Happy Birthday?

Pa: happy birthday happy birthday

(2 sec of silence)

Me: hahahahhahahahahhaha >.<"

Pa: Cashy, Money, Gro & Muk they wish you Happy Birthday too. hahaha

Mommy: Happy Birthday

Me: hahahahahahahahahahaha *.*

Me: So… are u guys going to bank in more money for me??? Wahahahahahahhaha

Mommy: Ehmm... Go get yourself a proper birthday dinner…

Me: I’d already had yesterday, with Nadia. And I foot the bill.

Mommy: Good.

Pa: Please buy more winter clothing okay.

Me: Yes!

…..

…....

And a huge thank to Nadia. She gathered a few of her classmates (instead of my classmates lol) to meet me at Student Common Room after class today; then there's a mini chocolate cake... and even though I don't really know them well, they'd been really kind to me =) At least I knew they wished me sincerely and gave me a warm birthday hug at the end =)

And of course, a big and lovey thank to my Baby for the little E-card!!! and Thanks everyone for wishing and remembering. So Sweet =)

*Nadia didn't bake this (I'm sure she can bake one better than this lol =P)*

... still looking around?

I never like having myself lounging around in pajamas all day; especially on weekdays. I really hope to keep myself busy doing something GOOD and prove them useful. I understand the need to value other things in life (besides shopping). And I've always got a bee in my bonnet about doing well for my degree studies; after learning the tight competition among the younger generations in London and what I've promised papa. I've learned a lot and am still learning new things in life. I now expect to be learning more and more from my new school as well. (Things have finally turned out to be not-too-bad in my school & I hope that's the true color after all)

It's never easy to achieve my aims in life and I've known that clearly before I came. By now, it should have been time for me to put my card on the table and start to realise what's next after this. But I really find it difficult to consider the realistic ones.

Does age really matter?

I personally reckon it does. Telling my age isn't any big deal at all, and in fact, I'm proud I've never wasted much time in my life as far as for the things I wanted to be done well.

However life is short and time passes fast as you're getting older. That's why I feel the 'rush' in my life! People have been telling me age is not a matter at all wherever you are... but I was thinking what if I can't even achieve any single accomplishment when time actually marches on and it flies. Life's never been sweet!

Bible tells me to give worries to God... and Do Not Worry. Whenever comes to reading this I will then wonder... what's it like to live without worries? okay, I will not think any further about my future from today onwards I tell myself. But wait... tomorrow comes and I realise living needs money; then money will lead to worries!!! Today's a No-Money-No-Talk world; so how am I going to live without money?

What about this huh --- God created me and of course He wants to me learn as much as I could on earth; so since living my life will cause worries, shall I say worries are challenging and challenges can eventually bring me fun... I mean when I have the end results after all the hard work... ???

Long story short, life -> worries -> challeging -> FUN -> satisfaction! Thus, in a way I'm actually having fun while living my life to the fullest.

wahahhahahahahahhaha =P

Liverpool 1 - 1 Arsenal >.<"

The final score was a disappointing 1 – 1. I heard it was a great game: Arsenal could have won today's match (apparently I was told; definitely was not solely my "review").

Disappointment doesn’t kill after all; and I’m really proud of the man who scores for Arsenal. He is my football savior for the day; he saves the whole team. Not only did he save the team he kept things back on track again (imagine if they had lost the game... to Liverpool!!!) Thank God.

Cesc Fabregas really is unique.

So, for post-match, shall I put : Stevie G vs. Cesc Fabregas!
Lol =P

"You save the team!!!"

Come On Gunners!!!

“2” in the UEFA Champions League was magnificent!!! Our wonderkid, Cesc Fabregas, has performed surprisingly well for the club in this new season. Although the team still has long road ahead before they are entitled to win titles; with their current on-form performances and if they keep going better I believe they could win something in the end =)

On form Wonder Kid

There’s a big game on tomorrow yea. I really hope Arsenal to trash the opponent, once again, on tomorrow’s match. What about any one of their players to score a hat-trick? Isn’t that nice to see! As that would also be a return ‘gift’ to Peter Crouch! Lol.

And Chun Kit aka Kitty told me, “This Sunday’s match is all about FACEY!”

Yea… I totally agree with that. So if there’s a minor accident occurs at my side on tomorrow’s match, you probably won’t see me on MSN all next week. Lol =P

Qualms of Homesickness

Well, it’s been a month since I moved here. I’m still feeling horrible sick – Homesick! Every day, I’m persuading my parents to come to London to stay with me.... and more often than now, it goes like this ---

Conversation 1

Me: When do you want to come over? I’m waiting! My apartment is one of the nicest in town

Papa: No no no…. Papa is not free. And remember you’re there to study, okay.

Me: Of course I know. I’ll work hard. Have no worries, I will get a good degree in the end. What about I suggest you guys to come over in Jan next year? …Where I will have a 3-week holidays before I start a new term.

Papa: I’ll see how. Why not you travel around Europe with Nadia during your holidays?

Me: *I stoned for a moment*. This is a good idea but you gotta pay for everything k haha! But if you and mommy are coming over, we can travel around Europe together too.

Conversation 2

Me: When are you coming over? I’m waiting! London is a shopping paradise… only if you have a big sum of money in the pocket. Wahahaha.

Mommy: How nice is it? Are there any sales during this period of time?

Me: Yes… there are sales around but could hardly find those that suit you though. Lol

Mommy: I would prefer to go after winter time; maybe around June next year, during summer time. And most probably will be coming with Teng.

Me: What? June? You can come in Jan if you don’t mind! I will have a 3-week holidays before I start a new term.

Mommy: I’m just afraid the weather is too cold and I will be lazy to get out of the house and go shopping with you.

Me: True. But you’ve got no other choice. I need your companion.

Mommy: Whatever it is, you don’t worry about that first. Concentrate on your studies okay. Then if you really want mommy to go over, you should talk to papa about it. Hehehe…

Conversation 3

Me: Both of you are going to attend my convocation which will take place at Cardiff, if I’m not wrong, and around this time next year, right?

Mommy: No. Papa will attend. I’m not going.

Me: Huh? How can this be?

Mommy: we can’t travel together. We need someone to stay at home and look after our dogs.

Me: Yea I know. But I’m sure both the parents of my classmates will attend the convo. How can I only have papa attending; other people might think that I have an ‘incomplete’ family.

Mommy: They won’t think like you.

=_='

Being independent is not the hardest thing. But since I moved to London, I've always felt a need to feel psychically closer.

I miss the hugs! I miss hugging Mommy from the back and I'd try stopping her to walk forward; I hugged her tightly in bed at night while she was sleeping soundly and in my heart I prayed for her; as for papa, I liked to put my hand over his shoulders and greeted him by calling out his full name ^^; and once in a blue moon, he'd pull me close and give me a big hug.

Lastly, I miss his silly faces; I miss his sexy lips; I miss his smiles; I miss his laughs; I miss the goofy things that he does to me and I miss his hugs!!! I Miss You Neng =)

I want to watch Football Matches like how I used to!!!

Weekends are no longer my happy days!

It's been a month since I watched live football matches!

It's gonna be my greatest entertainment during the weekends;

Thus, I will pay for the TV program!!! Pa, this' my only solution now!

=(

Shut Up And Post

Yes, I'll admit that I'm temporarily in disbelief that if God will put me through this time around. My life's just fine over here. I'm feeling like I've lost my way! What's my aim in life? I wanna become a multi-billionaire; who doesn't want that anyway!... How? I don't know... What exactly do I want to do after completing my degree? I'm not sure about that... What are my worries? well... there's a lot to tell.

I know they are only small annoying problems, I wish to find a way out too, but I can't tell exactly what they are... I've got stuck here!!!

There must be some reason God put me here. I'm going to go somewhere, from here. I hope so! -_- Patience being tested here.

I'm a student again!

Today was the first day of my new school, doing BABS 4 (Business Studies). Well, I'm very happy because I've finally come back to the 'working' life... at least now I keep my brain working, having my hands to writing notes, pulling my ears big enough to listen to theories (and not stories) and so on =)

Okay...where should I start? My classmates? yea... today was just my first day and I thought they're alright. They didn't make any ridiculous argument with the lecturer or had any crappy discussion in the class (no worries, I didn't either). I've been hearing a lot about my new school before this therefore I went to school today with preparing myself to be ready to take their shits. But instead I was surprisingly impressed with them. Wow... I hope they keep it up and let me learn more things from them as we go along. They all come from many different countries such as, Eastern countries, South America countries, Asian countries and so forth. So I'm pretty sure there will be different cultural practice and stuffs like that in the near future.

In a minute or two during today's class, I came to think of IAA 58. I wish I was still in Iact, attending the first class, doing the subject of Advertising, by Adeline Choo. The first person I talked to in class was Cyaujiun. hehehehhehee "where r u from?" she asked... I can remember that clearly!!! I love 58. ^.^ and it reminded me of WeiWei too. When my first day going to IACT he was there with me. He looked like my bodyguard. He didn't want to do that at first then I begged him to come with me because I thought I was too shy to enter the college alone and I needed someone I told him wahahahahaha *shame shame* I still remember it was 9am in the morning then we bumped into Gab & Lily as they were also having class in that early morning hehe =) I'm missing you dearly here WeiWei * _*

Today I was told that LSC (the entire college/Uni) will be moving to a new building which located at Elephant & Castle in Mid November. According to my lecturer, the move to a new premises will provide students with better service and it will be better for the environment too! I really hope so. I don't hope to run around in between the current 3 buildings at London Bridge. Although they are within walking distance but it's so cold now and it's getting colder everyday alright. It's not easy for me to walk in cold weather especially when the weather is windy in addition to being cold!

Financial Management and Analysis is a totally new thing to me. I haven't done anything related to figures/numbers or math since I left my secondary school. It will be tough I suppose, but I will have to do well anyhow... I can't afford to fail any subject!!! *choi* lolz

Alright, it's time to hit the sack. Night!

Oh yea... Nadia told me that she will throw me a birthday party on the 30th Oct. She is going to invite friends! She also mentioned to me it wouldn't be just both of us at the party... wow... something is going on for her now!!! She's working out a birthday party plan. lolz =P

Alan & Davy =)

What a lovely Evening!

Alan & Davy came over this evening. As mentioned in the last few posts that we invited them to come over one of these days and we would make them dinner. So, today was the day!!! We all had a wonderful dinner.

A chat here, laughter there. You could just tell it was great! They are really fun and we like having them around us. And guess what… they got us a TV!!! It’s not a new one but I feel so blessed because I have always wanted to get a TV here. And it’s like what… dream comes true! And again, this makes me look up to the sky and in my heart I thank God for the blessings that I’ve been receiving. And I want to bless other people now… anyone that God sends to me!!!

They make a lovely couple; they are so in love with each other and it tells when their eyes look into each other! So sweet =)

ManLye: Okay.. then just a quick one yea. I gonna get a new hair do soon. Because I've received criticisms from 2 persons regarding my hairstyle since this afternoon. So sad!!! So, tell me what should I do about it? What kind of hairstyle should I do this time?

A Lovely Sunday Outing

Today was a lovely day filled with... emmm... how should I put it?!
....
......

a day filled with beautiful weather and finally I got the chance to meet up with Davy and Alan today. It was a nice meeting. Davy cooked our meals; some toothsome dishes! She baked some breads and they're so yummy!!! The curry wasn't too bad and there's rice as well. Nadia and I were well-served after all =)

They are nice people and they are good people to friends with I reckon. Of course, most of time Nadia & I would get to listen and learn about their past and stuffs like that; then they do more of the talking and sharing their stories with us. hahahahaha it's quite fun anyway!!!

In the afternoon, we went for a walk in the park nearby and that park is so big and there's beautiful sunshine (which Nadia doesn't like it), but I only love sunshine whenever I feel cold. lolz. So, I took some pictures in the park.

Let me show you them! There you go...

Squirrels

I was trying to capture our shadows... but sunshine disappeared =(

After 5 minutes...

Nadia: hey.. sunshine comes back and look, our shadow

Steph: yea... let's take a pic of it. get ready ya!!!

Nadia: Alan... do that again pls!

Alan: Ahhhhhh... 3 mad people yea!!!! hahahahahhha
