US of A

I'm back in US! With a pimple on my face..fark!

In 3 more hours, I'm flying back to Uncle Sam's abode. Will be waiting at Heathrow, London for 2 hours plus. It's not that bad considering I've waited longer in Japan few years ago. 6 Hours!!! I've done a thorough clean up of the room and leaving this lovely shelter of mine is definitely saddening. Guess this is part of life and just gotta brave myself in enduring this overwhelming emotions.

So I guess I won't be updating for few days.

Pics taken using photobooth. ;)

Tomorrow is the day I'm flying back to US. Weeee!!! Well, I'm going to miss Newcastle for sure. Actually it won't be a full sayonara as I'm coming back for my convocation ceremony in July. I was just checking out some of the places I could go in Europe before my full departure from this place.

Perhaps Venice? Heard it's so romantic and beautiful. I'm a sucker for romantica. hehehe and of course Marine's place in the alps. Since it's all pretty close and linked together, maybe I should go ahead with it. =) I was checking some rosetta stone language softwares that I can buy to brush up on my language skills. ;). Or I should just join the classes offered by city college in sf? Those softwares aren't cheap at all. It can cost up to USD200. Hmmm..

At the mean time, I'm listening to some italian songs. So soothing.....my knowledge of Italy stems from my uncle who was once married to an Italian lady (they have divorced) and my uncle been living in Italy for over 20 years. Maybe I should pay him a visit? I am definitely curious to find out how my cousin brother looks like. hehehe

Another thing which drives me to Italy is their pizza!!!! The best pizza I ever had so far was from Gordon Biersch which uses the brick "oven" to bake it to perfection. I think that can be considered as "original"?? Not so sure. Definitely have to see it with my own eyes. You know, I really hate pizzas that have been altered, in the sense that pizzas that are of "fusion" category. I know Gordon Biersch serves Thai chicken pizza and to me, it's much better to just stick to the original of cheese, prosciutto or sausage and good old sauce. Man, love it! A thin layer adds to the orgasmic experience!

I really should start saving up for my trip. ;) There are too many places to visit in Europe alone and most of the time, the cities are so beautiful. Living in US, we do not have too much choices except for some buildings, mountains and maybe casinos. =( Gary and I plan to make a roadtrip around US someday, SOMEDAY.

Emptiness

Thanks!

Oh man look at that!


My super super super nice classmate cum best gal friend!

Ok, Marine, let me say something here about our friendship:

It's been super great knowing you. You have your influence on me, hehe, positive influence of course! You are determined, hardworking and really a great companion for anything. I know it's difficult knowing that we won't be seeing each other again, I mean not as frequent, =P, but it doesn't mean we can't be friends anymore. Those strategy classes, the constant yawning, the ridiculous laughter, the group work (in fact thats how we got to know each other) and the days of kicking some asses, I will remember deeply in my heart. =)

Ok, this is getting way too emotional hehe we shall see each other very soon! Let's conquer Alps and of course the places that we wanna go. ;) Do come and visit me in US.

Heartbroken

Hate is not a crime...........

New ride!

So here you go, pictures of the "truck", name is Horlick ;)

Over!

Random Crap

Oh man, I'm so "frugged"

I have 5 textbooks that I'm trying to sell, a printer and beddings (duvet, pillows etc) to give away and possibly some kitchen stuff too.

Exam was quite smooth flow despite the fact that I had to bear with a bursting bladder for 3 hours. Lesson learned. No liquid before exam, especially exam that takes 3 hours to complete.
Weeee, just another exam on Friday and it's going to be over! We have some activities planned out and dinner gatherings with friends whom I haven't seen for quite a long time. Oh, the exam on Friday is just an hour kinda deal, extra "weee" factor to that! ;)

I'm so freaking tired today. Came home and took a short nap before indulging myself with unhealthy activity of watching tvb series on crunchyroll. =P Life is good when there's no stress, just some pampering moments before dwelling back into the reality.

This Friday is going to come fast. I can smell and feel it. It's the beginning of another phase of life and all I can imagine is happiness. At least this is a good indication. I'm thinking of going to Vegas to Celine Dion's concert. Ahhh my idol. Her voice, my God.....God, you are so unfair but you been truly nice to her and indirectly, nice to us cuz she can keep on entertaining us.

Well, really been through a lot for the past 9 months. Ok, I've traveled a lot. =D It's been great being able to go to all the places that I've always wanted to go. Bought a lot of expensive stuff from Europe (*bleeding*). Living by myself for so many months (I've lived with G for 6 years before this). Quite an achievement you know! I used to be a spoilt demanding human being. Even though I knew I could do something, I just let G handled it. It's really that bad. Got my reality check now and from now on, I'm going to be independent and enjoying every moment of it. No remorse. A step I took to reminiscence and mark my step of adulthood. Bravo!

We bought a new SUV today!!! =) It's bigger, gas guzzling SUV. I know in times like these, it's not really too wise to be buying something like that but it's a Lexie so it's going to worth the investment. After all, toyota engine runs for a long long time and we don't plan to discard this piece of machine that soon. It's going to be for at least 6-7 years. Can't wait to plan our winter activities with this new cool machine! It looks something like this: (also same color, white with beige interior)


Yeah, another SUV for us. Actually I really hate small cars to be honest. I love cars that exert masculinity (macho macho) and this fact applies to my choice in men too. hehehe I don't discriminate but given options, that's my preferred choice.

So, that does another hole in the pocket. Dun really know how many more holes can we withstand with all the big budget stuff coming up such as wedding. Any "ah loong" (loan shark) wanna lend me some moolah?

Ok, just crapping won't promise any monetary returns, so I better go and start looking for a job! Anyone interested to hire me?

Ciao!

Mary Jane versus Cali Wedge

Friday.

Last day of class.

Exam is next week.

How do I feel? *-* Not really sure how to dictate my feelings but I think it's lost in the sea of freedom..does it make any sense? It's in between kinda feeling.

Nothing much happened today. Just some mundane grocery shopping with Marine and a lot of walking!

You know, I'm suspecting the girls here don't gain weight that easily because of constant walking. Mary Janes, slacks, hideous bright colored tops, this is the usual scene on the streets here. Thanks to Topshop, they are wearing those vivid purple, green or mustard clothings!! I must confess that I absolutely have no interests with British fashion!! Cali style is still better.

The clock is ticking and in less than 2 weeks, I'm leaving. I'm glad that my eyes won't be blinded by those vivid colors out on the streets once I'm back in Cali but at the same time, there's a sense of reluctance in my heart too. After all, it's been good old 9 months and it just went by like a tornado sweeping all the cows and birds out in the farm. Oooo boy!

Gee, guess it's time to get back to studying, three chapters tonight...Yeah baby! I can do it! Tell me so.....=|

Not So Fun Anymore

Okay so here you go, taken by Connie, a friend residing in HK....

No, Connie is just a friend whom took the time out to accompany us for the shoot, she's not the photographer


We didn't have time to wait for the pictures, so, just this for now until we head to HK once again, possibly July/August...man, talking about being broke...sigh


Enjoy

Reno just last week...

Snowing so heavily as if we traveled back to Christmas time

Double whammy

This morning as I was enjoying my sleep, dreaming of the unnecessary, that f* fire alarm rang for two times! WHAT THE F WAS THAT! That thing is getting out of control!

The constant false alarm is making me a loonie! It makes me feel like the school canteen back in my high school days where the alarm rings and rings for two to three times.

If there's a real fire, trust me, most of the students going to be taking their time walking down the stairs and everybody ends up like fire charcoal grilled baby back ribs! Touchwood..
