在异国的第十天

Posted by peiying Wednesday, September 29, 2010 2 comment

在这里已有十天的时间
格拉斯哥   我还未走透的城市   
那哝哝白人的风俗  口音  世态  这里应有尽有
这里并没有天天下雨  偶尔也会有晴朗好天气

在这里  每天都要步行  要走好几白米才能到city
在这里  每天 9 点晚上就会入眠  太阳还没升起就会起身了
在这里  所有素菜都只是用热水汤过就能进食了
在这里  饭菜都没有添加太多的调味料
在这里  许多的杂货  食品都很便宜
在这里  和 housemates 相处的很愉快  获得我一直想要的自由
从来都不知到原来我可以这样的过日子
不止是习惯  而且已渐渐喜欢上这样的生活方式
可是  就不知道为何   总觉得缺少些什么



我依然很想很想家
很想念妈妈  很想念怡保的老家   
而让我超级想念的是马来西亚的美食
老是盼望着这个学期快点完成   那么  离回家的时间就越近
还记得第一次在这里和妈妈网上聊天  眼眶的泪就不由自主的流下
我不敢让妈妈看见  只能把webcam 移开些。。。




讨厌的是  这里有好多人抽烟  真的很多很多
不管男女老少  满街都是吸烟鬼
不喜欢走下走下就下毛毛雨  
害怕半夜三更楼下的醉酒老外敲打我们的大门
可恨的是  突然间火警会无缘无故的响起
吓得我  魂飞魄散! 


怎么说  现在就对此地评论好与坏还是言之过早
我还是新人一个

so days are filled with constant gaming sessions on bejeweled, mousehunt, msn and repeated episodes of FRIENDS. it's like all of a sudden my study days are over, but yet, not qualified to start a job-hunt. hadn't been updating my blog, had no mood to (considering the 'happening' ways i live my days)


just settled much of the hassles last week, be it the visa application or some not-so-last-minute shopping. it's saddening to realize that there's a limit as to what you can transfer over to the new habitat. i have to leave behind my favourite piece of shirt, shorts, handbag, and what killed me most - my old pillow!!! :( 


i guess this year marks the beginning of a different future for most of us. have been hearing friends leaving overseas for work and studies, some aren't planning to come back, stories of various flaky interviews, some even started to plan about registering for marriage, those who left somehow had plans on coming back for good whilst others are already deciding on which place they would move to for permanent. and ALL of these are decisions made on their own. 


all of a sudden, i felt that these old friends of mine are all ready to discover their respective new chapters of life. and what am i still stuck with? and even till now, i constantly still have thoughts of us gathering together, gossiping secrets with a bottle of vodka in hand, us fooling around and rolling on the floor over some dead funny jokes. 


i couldn't help but to agree that working life does make a drastic transformation on us, how we speak, what we speak, we start to think ahead and beyond what was laid before us, we make substantial decisions, we finally realize the importance of responsibility, and in fact these are what actually shaped us into (finally) an adult. 


i was often judged as the forgetful and can't be bothered type of person. i MAY BE, since i'm not even sure how old my best friends are (well, at least i remembered your birthdays :O), i can't remember the time of my best friend flights, be it back or leaving kl. but those wonderful days we had, those trips we'd been to, those nights we gossiped under the blankets, those tears we shed, those silly jokes on tvb celebrities, those gambling games which we had won each other's money and yet could still joked about etc. are all still very vivid in my memory.


so much so that i hated separations, these changes are inevitable. we, are no longer the 'we' we used to be. we, at the present as well as the future will start to encompass the new people we met. 


there's just so much to hold back, you couldn't help but learn to let go. perhaps it is also time to start accustoming myself to changes.


time to grow up. 



massive cash burning month

Posted by peiying Sunday, August 22, 2010 1 comment

life is THIS dull when you have limited cash to spend, and you have enormous number of things to be done only if there's cash. well said enough, as some of my friends who were previously notified, in less than a month's time, i'll be blogging from the land of kilts and bagpipes, freezing my ass off when november approaches. 


shopping will never be enough throughout the whole month, and the singapore trip last week was trully worth it since i'd brought back piles and piles of my cousin's autumn-cum-hopefully-sufficient-to-last-for-winter clothings. that saves me from having only bread for the following months this year.


besides, there's also a handbag bought after a 5-day singapore charles and keith marathon. i literally went to ALL the charles and keith outlets in singapore only to find THE bag, which in turn i'm very happy with my buy. this trip down south wasn't as fruitful as the previous ones coz i was kept reminded that shopping in the land of kilts and bagpipes is more worthwhile. 


just to make things worse, the rm160-left-in-the-account me basically had to fork out another few thousands for a new laptop (which mother board died due to overheat), air ticket and for visa application. damn sien ok! why is it that the fees kept fluctuating and now that it had rose to 1055!!!!
_____________________________________________________________________________


wasn't in the mood to blog when i have to strain my eyesight staring at a 10.1" netbook screen, hence this mid-month entry. so basically this explains that i'd finally gotten myself a new HP laptop.


HP Pavilion DM4-1002TX

it wasn't a hard choice since there's not much models for me to choose in malaysia, let alone   my stubborness on having a HP Pavilion series laptop. so, i'm again happy with my buy :)
there goes another 3k :(


burnt! the hole in my pocket can now fit in a cow's head. 

tagged: 7 random facts about me...

Posted by peiying Monday, July 26, 2010 0 comment

yet, second round replying to a tagged post.. specially dedicated to the pretty who tagged me --- xiao li!!! there you have it..


1. FOOD
basically i have no specific preference for what kind of food to make a position in my 'must-have' list. but i think i do have the ability to 'eat' with my eyes. whenever food are served, i could more or less determine if the food is delectable by just looking at it.. :)

2. OCD
erm.. well, not sure if these criteria meet your definition of OCD..
i couldn't tolerate people who hasn't bath to sit on my bed
i couldn't tolerate any toilet with a stained tile
i couldn't tolerate when there's (much) hair on the floor 
i couldn't tolerate people who never filter their words before uttering
i couldn't tolerate it when my decoration stuffs aren't placed the way i want them to be
i couldn't tolerate it if my jottings are not written in a straight line

well.. if the above affirms that i am a person with OCD, then i think i should halt my list here... :O

3. 贪新忘旧
often will i find myself coming up with excuses to get the new version of something to replace the old one (sometimes even if they are still working fine). 
i.e: if my current highlighter is in the condition with 1/4 ink level left, i'll venture to the bookstore and get myself a new one BUT must be of the same shade.. OCD again? @_@

4. music is my life partner
nothing describes me better than the music i'm listening to at a particular moment. very often will i find myself revealing the vulnerable side of me via this channel. but i AM loyal to songs which i liked. repeatedly listening to them never makes me sick. NEVER! 

5. strong withhold onto chinese traditions
not that i am anti-angmoh... but i don't see the necessity for worshiping foreign cultures when you can't even fully comprehend your own. well.. i am proud to declare myself a chinese, a descendant of the 5000-years-civilization wisdom...

6. dislike making explanations
unless being constantly confronted, else, i'll never bother making explanations, for people who understand me well will NEVER require me an explanation. think whatever you want, can't be bothered too much.

7. superficial to a certain level
i admit that i am superficial at times. wanted people to recognize my pros, for the purpose of gaining confidence i guess. in return i'm never reluctant to acknowledge the second person's talent as well. fair and square.


海洋天堂

刚看完周杰伦的《说了再见》MV,发现原来MV里出现了个李连杰!!!
这下就知道这MV不简单啊。。


原来这首歌是一部由李连杰主演的电影《海洋天堂》里的主题曲。
从预告片看来,好像是一部感人肺腑的电影。描述着李连杰饰演一位患了晚期肝癌的父亲,辛苦养大他22岁的自闭儿子。


光看故事大纲都挺吸引人。况且李连杰终于能摆脱他惯用的卖点 - 武功,让大家对他演技再一次刮目相看。




期待能在线观看叻。。。

换个方式看未来

Posted by peiying Wednesday, July 21, 2010 0 comment

7月20日   最后一天在IMU上课了

和 5 年前的中五毕业心情没什么两样
没有特别的不舍  也没有特别的留念
或许是太忙得关系   使我把心情给埋没了

去年的同一天   记忆中   我做了人生最勇敢的事
365 日后的今天  说真的  我依然无法忘怀
那一天的对话
又是一个学期的过去  怎么时间走的那么快
我好像  被时间给抛弃了  独自一人原地踏步
转眼间  两个月后  就要和家人朋友  说再见

前几日  才刚与生平最要好的一群朋友聚会
作了一些  无法想象的冒险活动
回想起来  是哪来的勇气啊。。
什么时候我愿意把生命都寄托在一条钢线上
单靠一两条绳子  被挂在高空中。。
出乎意料的是  我竟然毫无惧感的想完成每一关考验

再想  也许是觉得剩下的时间不多了
还有多少的机会能和好朋友一起疯狂呢
这  不是偏激  而是事实上告诉我  
人  一旦分开久了  生理和心理上都会有所改变
刚回国的朋友  态度上的确和离开前有差异
已经离国的朋友  心理也渐渐有所调整

谁能保证  我们以后还可以  无所不谈 
不如好好珍惜眼前所拥有的这一刻 
别再扭扭捏捏了
________________________________________________________________________

最近妈妈一直劝我  要用功读书  
妈妈是唠叨了些   
可是我就是这么犯贱   
若没有外来的压力  就没有推动力去全神贯注在书本上
不知不觉中  思绪就会开始天马行空   想些有的没的
尤其是在听歌的时候 

我就是爱发呆  
我很爱听歌  因为听歌时分  能献于我无限的想象空间 
当我幻想时  反而心情可以平静许多
当我开车时  我不爱说话  但  收音机一定要开着   
最喜欢   在遥远的路途中  听着 ipod  慢慢的进入睡梦中
我爱观看美丽的照片  那也是我想象的灵感泉源
这一切  都是因为现实生活中的我们
都被太多因素限制了
为有在自己凭空想象的时刻
寻找一些些自由吧。。。

毕竟处女座的人  总是爱  用观察和思考去衡量一切
不怪的我呀。。。 

the call of the foreign land

Posted by peiying Saturday, July 17, 2010 0 comment

july marks the final month of my studies in malaysia. in less than 2 months time, i'll be off to a land so foreign to me, a land that i'd only heard of all the fantasies it'll bring, a land where the whites dominate, a land 10000km away from local good food.. *sobs*

so much need to be done, much more revisions for semester exams. praying so hard that visa application could be settled in time, hopefully it wouldn't take me the whole august... please don't jeopardise my holidays!!!

strathclyde- where i'll stick to till 2012 :(

really am hectic this month, and presumably for the following month as well. who knows the next entry will be coming in from THE foreign land...september perhaps?
