Well, the flight was cancelled yet again by stupid British Airways!!!! They had only arrived to London on Tuesday night!! What a waste of time!!! :( We definitely did not have enough time to see all of London so hopefully they will be back again soon!! It was fun and nice to have them around!!!

Phewww….that’s quite a lot of pictures! :P Anyways, new year, new resolutions??? I don’t really believe in them therefore no new year’s resolutions for me. The past 2 years have been the greatest of my life!! I have experienced and seen so much and I can only hope that there will be more to come in 2010!!! Life is indeed short and I think if there is something you want to do, just do it!!! Don’t wait around to get approval or to wait for someone to join you because before you know it, you’ve missed the chance!! :) How’s that for a new year’s resolution? Happy New Year everyone!!!!!!!!!!! *raises glasses* xxxxxx

I am currently waiting for my mum’s flight to hopefully take off from Belgium and land at London Heathrow Airport!! I say hopefully because the weather has caused so much disruptions for the past few days that flights, bus and train services has been either cancelled or delayed!! My mum was supposed to arrive by Eurostar yesterday but due to all their services being on cancelled, for 3 days now might i add, she had to book herself and fatty a flight on British Airways today! Fingers crossed the flight will not be cancelled or delayed and that she will reach London safely!! We have already wasted one day that could’ve been spent together!! :( Funny how much the unforeseen snow could cause so much damage especially during x’mas time!! And funny that it would actually snow at this time of the year! I was so skeptical after hearing the news but omg I was such a kid when it started to snow!!

That being said, its started to snow once again today and is STILL snowing!! I love the snow and all but can it please wait till my mum and fatty arrives here first!!! Urgh!! If all goes well we’ll be playing in snow tomorrow!! Yey!!! And I can sing ‘Let it snow, let it snow!!! Will take some pictures of the pretty snow tomorrow morning!!! :) Watch out for lots of christmas pictures soon!! xxx

Oppppsssss…I did it again!!

WHOOPS!! Been slacking BIG TIME!!! We’ve been having quite eventful Saturdays hence I always feel like just doing nothing on Sundays!! Christmas and New Year’s is almost here!!!! I can’t believe how fast time flies. Good news is I will be off from work for two whole weeks!!! Plus my mum and Fatty brother will be coming over next Sunday for a week. And then there’s boxing day!! OMG I am so effing broke now because we’ve been eating out almost every Saturday and buying things!! Definitely need to cut down on that starting January 2010 and start saving. We’ve also just gotten ourselves a new LCD TV and Wii therefore I am more distracted. Forgive me!! It seems now I have too much to do too little time, which is good really!

Will make sure I blog during my 2 week break!!!! xoxo

Forever in my heart..

Last Saturday we had gone to the Vue at O2 to catch the Michael Jackson movie ‘This is it’. Since we could not get to see him Live for his concert in July, I guess this was the closest thing to ever being able to watch him perform. :( The movie showed how great the concert would’ve been!! and I think it only captured a gist of how much effort was put to plan the entire show. It would have been the most magnificent concert I would have ever been to in my life but oh well…. :( I seriously would not fork out £250 for a ticket to watch anyone else perform!!! That is how great Michael Jackson is!! No singer will ever be as good or have so much talent as he did! I hope that in the future my children will be able to enjoy MJ as much as I do!! R.I.P MJ, you will live in our hearts forever!!! <3

We headed for a little surprise dinner I planned out for WS after but more of that in the next post!! For now, I need to get some beauty sleep and energy for Swedish House Mafia tonight @ O2 Brixton Academy!!!! YEAHHH!!!!! Been waiting for over a month now for this event and I am so excited!!!!! Have a good weekend!!!!!

Hello…Is it me you’re looking for?

OMG…We have been neglecting this blog for the longest time. :( I am going to start writing at least once a week now and hopefully more in time. Yes, I know i’ve said it before but this time WS had wanted to stop paying for the server so I had to pay for it myself this time!! And I guess you realize not to take things for granted when it comes from your own pocket! Haha..

Anyway, summer has come and gone, and we too have come and gone. We were back in Malaysia for two months to get the visa sorted out. I had no hope of coming back to London knowing how strict the British high comm is but I guess with a little luck on our side, we made it through! *phew* It was a good two months back home though, after being away for nearly two years!! I now miss the food…and family….and friends……..and FOOD!!!!!! :( But nevertheless, we plan to make London our new home! :)

So here’s to our attempt to make a life here in London and to many many MANY more travelling around the world!!!! Cheers! Stay tuned.. xoxo

Spring time!!

spring-time

Wow…I have left this blog unattended…or rather unwritten for quite a while now. It’s not that I don’t want to blog..I do..really. It may sound crazy but sometimes I blog in my mind. Haha. Now if only they had a gadget that could immediately trasfer what’s on my mind and on to the blog. So I guess it just boils down to me being lazy. Sometime things happen and I want to blog about it but things keep getting in the way and by the time I sit down and blog the feelings are just not quite the same ya know?

Anyways, winter has now come and gone and the weather has been nothing but wonderful for the past week. It really makes me feel ling singing and dancing all day. :) I may or may not have a long time to go here in London, so I am trying to make the most of my time here. Going to all the places I have always wanted to go, eating all the thing I have always wanted to eat, doing and seeing all the things I have always wanted to do and see. Althought it does boils down to me spending money. :(

I now have alot of time in my hands, maybe a lil too much, but i’m loving it! So no taking time/things for granted no more. I hope to blog a lil each week and this is a small step to it… :)

Whoops….Looks like I procrastinated again. =P But I’ve got a really good reason for that! I got so sick during our trip to Paris and it took me 2 1/2 weeks to fully recover from it. :(  I felt myself starting to fall sick in the afternoon on the day we were to leave London for Paris. As usual, I took 2 paracetamols and took a nap, waking up to feel much better. We decided to take a bus down this time as the tickets for Eurostar were insanely priced at £100 one way! The bus ride itself was not too bad, 7 hours on the Bus and another 2 on the Ferry.

Just as we reached Paris early in the morning, the damn fever started again all over again. Once again, I popped 2 pills and headed to bed straight. Felt much better after I woke up and off we went to Trocadero to catch a glimpse of THE Eiffel Tower. It was freezing cold that day so we quickly took some pictures and headed to Champs-Elysées, known as the world’s most beautiful avenue. Sadly, I did not get to enjoy it much as wanted because I started shivering so we thought we would go to Gallery Lafayette which was indoors. After about half an hour at Gallery Lafayette, I started to feel my body burn. It was so cold outside but I felt so hot inside. By the time we headed back to the hotel I was having high fever! I have not been this sick for such a long time and it was such a bad timing. *sigh* I seriously felt like I was about to die!! I was also having this awful sorethroat and could not speak for two whole days! My poor FI had to talk to himself most of the times. Hehe. The next day was spent in the hotel near Disneyland as I was too weak too go anywhere or do anything. Dear FI decided to head out to the Central Paris to take some pictures for me to see. I felt so bad for ruining the holidays for him. :(

Thankfully, I was up and running (forced myself to be better!) after a days rest, and we headed and celebrated our New year’s eve in Disneyland Paris. It was actually our 2nd time there but still just as fun! We got to ride on the new Tower of Terror which i absolutely hate!! You sit in an elevator-like thing which bring you up and down a couple of times!! My poor heart dropped!! I hate rides like these but I just did it to accompany my dear FI. =)

Well it’s a new year now and time really flies!! SIGH!!! I hope to see and blog more…keeping fingers crossed!! My Dad will be here to celebrate Chinese New Years with us! Hooray!! Can’t wait! =)

*ARGH! I finished typing this post but now Wordpress wont let me upload pictures!! URGH!! Will upload them another time….got to cook dinner now for my dahling….!

It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year !!

its-the-most-wonderful-time-of-the-year

Shit! I’ve got to stop neglecting this website! =P Fret not as I have got 2 weeks off!!! TWO WEEKS BABY!! So no excuses for me! Hehehe!! It’s good to finally be able to rest and relax. It’s 2 1/2 more days to Christmas! I love love love absolutely love Christmas~ Funny thing is, I’m not a Christian. What I love about Christmas is more of the spirit of it. To give and to share! =) Christmas songs gets me all warm and fuzzy inside and I am instantly happy everytime I hear them!! Walking down Oxford Street at this time of the year is just wonderful!!! The decorations are beautiful and despite it being so damn crowded, it’s such a lovely atmosphere. I am so thankful to get to experience this!! Hopefully next year or the one after that would be in New York!!! =)

I can’t wait till boxing day!!! I am usually very very stingy when it comes to spending…hahaha…. seriously!! Ask my dear FI!! But all these sales happening around is making me wanna spend! Urgh!! Luckily it only happens once a year!! Somehow I am also slowly turning into a shoe-paholic!! Help! It must be all these years of me depriving myself of shoes! =P The shoes here are all so pretty unlike the stupid shoes at Vincci back home. Lol. But the price tags are also very ‘nice’. Sigh!

As for new years, we will be heading to Paris!! This will be our second time there so nothing really new for us. I am still excited though cause it’s a break for us after all the work at our jobs! =) Anyways, I will end here with me sharing window displays of Selfridges, Oxford Street with you. Will try to take more picture of Oxford Street this week~


I thought Santa uses reindeers not the tube? Hehe…The tube door in the window display actually opens and closes!

29-november-2008

Back again! Have not really sorted things out yet. My head is at one place and my heart another. The problem with me is, I put my feelings aside all the time. I hide them deep down inside and try not to show it. But I guess I’m used to it now..and I try to think of it as maturely as I possibly can.

Anyway, this post is not about that, it’s a happy one. =) And dare I say that it is the happiest one. Or third happiest one as the other two are yet to come. 29 November 2008. I will remember this day for the rest of my life as I am made the happiest girl in the world. =) No prizes for guessing!! =P It’s a long long long story that will be posted NEXT. haha….sorry to ruin the surprise but I just need to wait for the pictures! I figured we should get back on track in this website again because WS is not paying godaddy.com for nothing!! So, stay tuned for more post, especially the next one as you wouldn’t want to miss it for the world, I know I wouldn’t!!! Cheers~

WHYYYYYYYYY????

Posted by Jolyne | Miscellaneous on Thursday, 13 November 2008 @ 2:15 pm
whyyyyyyyyy

I am back…….kinda….not really as the same person when i left. It has only been what? 2 months? It is scary what this can do to me. I feel angry……mostly at the world…but really…at myself. For failing. For even bothering. Why did I give myself hope when I knew I was destined to fail? Why waste the money that could have been spent on other things or saved? Why put my dreams out there only to discorver it as a nightmare at the end? Why the fuck is this happening to me? I feel so angry inside that I want to do soemthing bad. Sounds so wrong I know. But i’m tired. Tired of always being good. Being good but failing miserably. Life is so damn bloody unfair. Why should I offer my seat to some old lady i don’t even know? Why should I guide the blind man to the post box? Why should I help the scryffy old man on the tube who is struggling to open a packet of biscuits while everyone was just staring? Why should I when I don’t get any help at all?? Sounds selfish…but WHY SHOULDN’T I BE??????? Why why why? ARGHHHHH….sigh…don’t want to think or talk about it. Don’t want any bloody consolation either. Simply because no one will fucking understand what I am feeling now. NO ONE. You may think you do…but you clearly dont and never will. Bye….need to sort my head and heart out………..
