My Bizzare Brainwork Says » blyton

I was once rich

Eve — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 17:59:50 +0000

I was once rich.

i never expect myself to be richest when i work as a waitress in a village with sheep and horses around me.

*HOLY SHIT! while searching for the photo of the takeaway i used to work for, i realize i lost the whole batch of photos! The photos of me jogging alone, sheeps and country!!*

Just to show you the level of “ulu-ness” the kampung i once lived in was. Sheffield HighStreet VS sadly, Blyton Highstreet.

Can you see the differences?

But i was happy there. occasionnaly homesick but honestly contented and peaceful. I earned roughly double the amount i’m earning now with zero stress, zero overtime. My pay reads nett profit = savings.

6 hours of work and my job scope is watching tv, socialising with customers and eating.

Morning was spend jogging around the neighborhood or going into nearest small town, Gainsborough for groceries with boss.

After work, I’ll be stuff full with food by boss and since my boss fancy seafood, we always have fish or mussels or prawns aplenty. Then it’s msn time with folks in Malaysia who just woke up. Chatting it up with my dearies used to be like my right; now it’s a privileage. I eat whatever I want and turn into shopalholic during offday simply because i can afford ‘em. Not forgetting celebrating xmas and ny very differently from here.

Back in Penang, I now work for a MNC that is “branded” everyone goes GOOd for you!! when i mention the company X.

So what~

I earn so much lesser, with much more expenses, much more stress, and much longer hours definitely. I haven’t been to the gym for god knows how long.

I’m so poor that I have to think twice or thrice before buying a sandwich from Subway, and leaving the shop empty handed. Definately not getting any better when my monthly expenses are sucking the life out of me.

Last night, i just feel like having dinner with a friend. A FRIEND in penang. Who to call? I realized i have no more good friends left in penang. What is happening to my life? Family and friends are very important. Going back to your roots too. I love penang and all the jazz but I’m just in my early twenties. I had this conversation with my friend Kim the other day..same scenario. Study loan which can be paid off in 6 months, but we choose to come home. 7 fucking long years now…

Why did I even allow myself to end up here?

Not being strong enough to stay on for a longer period of time or taking the igs are comfortably seated on top of my list of regrets for my life so far.

In a long long time, i’m gonna blog about something that happen today. Uploading photos i took today. I’m back to the efficient me! Wee..

Have you seen Katie Holmes new hair? I think it’s just a wig but it’s funny the way justjared.com put it. Look! He’s comparing her to the super emo/cute melon cat that’s been around like forever. Katie holmes stole meloncat look…HAhaha

****

It’s one of my daily routine to check my facebook now although i still don’t know my way around it. I get so many request for stupid things that i don’t even bother to click Ignore now.

and today i get this message from a stranger. I feel it’s so retarded for someone like his age(1979) to send something like this lo…

so how r u lately? wat u been up to? so wat u usually do on ur weekend? must be shopping ya or hang out with friend yam char?

since we meet here, mind that we keep in touch by sms or sometime when feel free can give u a call to chit chat with u? cos i prefer to keep in touch by this way. mind that i get ur contact? my no ———— so when me at pg can ask u for cup of coffee mah..
Hope to receive ur sms sometime ya. keep in touch…

AS IF i will give my number to him. Even if i am in msia, i wouldn’t have waste my time keeping in touch with him..Ewww..damn chikopek la some people…

*****

Woohoo..Today i woke up to one of the loveliest weather in weeks! Not wanting to waste anymore time (actually i used 1hr to defreeze from bed ady,haha), i put on a hoodie and ran out. Hoo! I shall take you through my running jogging walking route.

First, i will start walking along the main street. Run abit when i see some car so i won’t be so malu..

This 2 smelly cat was always sitting on the window sill sun bathing. EVERY SINGLE TIME without fail. Today both curl up and sleep pulak. Damn cute.

Then i’ll come to to the end of the village (fast right) and walk around paths like this.

On the right it’s just fields after fields of potatoes or wheat i think. Abit sien after a while.

Walk abit further, you’ll see stupid looking sheep grazing grass and looking lazy. You see the white white dots in the photos, that’s the sheep. They are getting fat and wooly for the winter too. Like us human, getting fat and put on layers of wooly clothes.

And then my mp3 will go “Beep Beep Beep”, signalling me that i’ve walked 30minutes already. Time to go retrace my tracks and go home online be boring again. My tired, panting, fat face.. Around no other human detected, so i can be silly..

So people, that’s how my kampung looks like. 40minutes can cover everything by my speed. Hahaha… Still envy my life here? Come here for 1 week, you’ll go insane.

Lincoln

Lama tak blog about traveling. I prefer to read other blog…haha

So Lincoln is the nearest big city to me that i will go to whenever i can(once a week). In order to get there, i had to take a 1.5hrs bus ride from my journey. Previous monday, i went there to meet 2 of my coursemates. For them, i woke up at 630am to paint my face and wait for the freaking bus at 750am in the freaking cold. I haven’t woke up on purpose anytime before 9am for ages. Oh yes, vanity comes with a huge price tag.

Then i found out that the bus only goes as far as the next town. So i got down and asked for directions to the train station. I had to walk for 2 mile = 3.2km to get to the train station!! Ok, treat that as morning walk. When i got there, the train just left…… =__= I had to wait 40minutes for the next train at the tiniest train station ever with a weird auntie that kept laughing by herself…looking like this

BECAUSE IT’S COLD!!!!!

I finally got to Lincoln at 10am, an hour later than i expect. And being called a Doreamon by the ‘friend’.. ungrateful bastard..cis..

I was only attracted to the High Streets but the 2 insists on going to see the Cathedral and Castle. Huh…i’m starting to think all the magnificient-ny feeling of cathedral from me is wearing off. It’s just another church. Nothing compared to Sagradia Familia.

We had to crawl up the very steep path towards the castle and cathedral and when we got there, did not go in also. As usual, need admission fees so just stand outside and take photos lah.

The cathedral used to be the tallest building in the world for 200 years and some part of The Da Vinci Code movie was shoot here. Some trivia for the day huh

Then we went lunch and went to the riverbanks for some final photos before parting ways. So sad, no more seeing friends again :( This is Mr.Chua, the fella that change 360degree from the person we all know back in Malaysia. also the fella that called me doreamon.*vengence!*

The riverbanks really nice with swans and some other white bird species swimming around.

I had to go early because i still need to work. But the following is from the previous visit to Lincoln where i manage to shop around alone and spend a small fortune -___-

*****
I have 2 prinsip hidup all this while.
1. Never watch movie in the cinema alone
2. Never eat a meal alone out in the restaurant or cafe or kopitiam.

The 2nd prinsip hidup i had to break it since i moved to KL last time or else i’ll be as skinny as Nicole richie by now.

So i was really hungry after shopping for 3 hours and i randomly choose a place to eat. This old place as u may notice from the previous photo (it’s the black and white frame behind the bridge) looks like nice so i went in.

Kinda sad to answer “Oh, just table for one please” when i was asked but i had a really pleasant surprise as it was their 70th birthday so everything on the menu is 70p. HOHOH

I ordered a latte and a roast lamb. I don’t think you can see how nicely cooked it was from the photos. I hastily took it because i want to eat it !!!

I cleaned the plate alright and it was delicious. The lamb was just nice to bit on and with a hint of mint sauce, it’s just great! After seeing almost every table with a pie, i ordered one too, obviously.

Ooohlalaa..best fruit pie ever. Never underestimate the keganasan of english pies, be it mince pie, apple crumble or this fruit pie.

Although i get to savour such good food, it’s not good enough for me. Because there’s no one around to show the goodness with. To share a conversation with. To share a laughter with. From my eye view, this is all i see…

I’ve been at the table for one situation for quite a long time now. Going back to Asia soon seems intimidating to me. Asian guys seems to be a whole lot of shallow people that only likes stick thin people. God, i don’t ask for much…I just don’t want to die a spinster T__T

But a spanish or latino guy would be nice though.. Hehe..Anyway, this is how dark it is at only 330pm!!! It’s just insane..

Before that, todays newspaper headline was:-

HAHA!! Even after the match the people that sits inside the room to comment said ” We deserved it” Other than dat, they show discarded england jersey on the floor after the match. And whole page only print ” SUMMER 2008: CANCELLED!” no need to go Austria ady u brits. The whole nation is kinda devastated.

Ok, back to what i wanted to blog about.

I think watching too much tv is truly bad. I’ve been watching alot of tv of late and obviously alot of adverts as well. Well, Boot’s advert kept flashing

“tis is the season to get Gorgeous”

and i think watching that too much truly had me buying loads and loads of stuff from them.

I don’t know what got into me last tuesday. I was alone (as usual) in Lincoln and within 4 short hours i spend a small fortune T__T I usually don’t buy anything at all when i go out unless stuff i need. AND THEN, out of the blue, i splurge. The last time i had so much fun shopping was last christmas.

I guess it’s the time of the year where i go crazy for once huh..However, i seriously had fun! and oh god, i now truly believes in retail therapy. I am so happy for once!! This is only part of the stuff i purchased….

Oh i think xmas makes me want to paint everything red. I now have red talons just like last year and i nearly buy a really red lipstick ala Christina Aguilera -____- Nearly ok.. i did not buy it..

Finally i succumbed to the uggs. They named it right. Because it’s freaking ugly boots. HOWEVER, it’s the most comfortable footwear i had before. It’s so warm and soft and easy to walk in. No toe-breaking or heel-breaking in these babies. Kinda like walking around in thick socks. Speaking of that, I’ve been buying socks and tights nonstop recently. Usually i owned like 2 pairs? cos i don’t like wearing sneakers. But now, socks saves life!! I wear them all the time, to sleep, for a walk. Everywhere!!

That’s all for now. I hope it snow soon. I’m all geared up for it! Bring it on, mother nature!!
