Last night I was busy packing my luggage for London day after.
As it is still quite cold now, I've got couple of thick winter clothing and I THOUGHT they were really heavy. So I decided to just pack in what I wanted and weigh the luggage to see how heavy it is. After packing in 90% of the things I wanted to bring, the scale went up to 45kgs!!!!!!!!!
I almost drop dead! Then I repacked it again and took out what is nooooot that necessary, so that is about 20% of the things chucked out. Attempt two: 42kgs!!!!!!! Watda!
Then I thought...maybe the luggage itself is heavy? So I went in to my brother's room and stole his light-weight bag (100% soft body) and shove in my clothes and toiletries. Attempt three: 40kgs =.= By that time, it was 2am in the morning and I am still struggling on what else to leave behind. I swear, I only had LIMITED clothing in my luggage and I cannot take anything out anymore! I wanted to burst in tears, I was already bursting with frustration! LOL!
Then I thought, maybe I should move it to a smaller luggage? Then I would put less things and it will be lighter? So I took another one of my trolley luggage that was half the size of my normal big-ass luggage. Filled it in and....attempt four: 35kgs! %$&%$!@*&
I stormed in to my brother's room and gave him his light-weight bag and commented "I don't know how people can survive with 20kgs!!!" and he was like "Some people can" Pfft! That helps! Then I gave up and decided to go to bed as it was 3.30am =.= LOL! Considering how small my tiny room is, the whole floor is covered with clothes and bags and what not! I just couldn't be bothered to pack anymore!
Next morning, my mum walked into a jungle of clothes. LOL! She asked me what happened and I said, that small bag of clothes is 35kgs. I don't know how to pack anymore! And she said, "Are you sure? No way! 35KILOS????!" I took a minute to think and I said "Blardy hell! I think it is in pounds! I packed the whole friggin night and I thought the scale was in kilos!" #!#$%^&@
Therefore, weighing scales should be electronic and should indicate kilos or pounds! Traditional scales should be in bins! TQVM!!! I will have to finish my packing tonight! Pftt~!
Just a little reminder of my silly encounters, be it happy or sad, exciting or dull, crazy or brilliant...I have it all here!

Coming home =)
A little over 24hours and I am back to Malaysia! Woooooooot! Excited!
The down side, two and a half hours of nothing-to-do at Dubai Airport =.=
My arms and legs...and pretty much my whole body is about to break! Moved most of my stuff to a friend's place to store this morning and went out the whole day to get last minute bits and pieces. Now I am paitiently waiting for the shipping guy to take the balance of my stuff back to Malaysia. Packing for three different destinations is no fun! Anyway, I would be glad once this load is gone too. Everything else left will be chucked into my luggage! Simple!
I am crapping but I don't care because I am so tired that I feel like eating Malaysian KFC once I touch down...wtf?! I know! =.=
See you in Malaysia!!!

The unexpected.
I have been really busy lately. Mainly with work and a minimal amount of time thinking what the hell am I going to do with my things here in London! I am still looking for a solution.
Knowing my days in London are getting shorter, I did the most unexpected thing EVER! I went to a...bush doof?! -my Aussie cousin said. LOL! No idea what it is called but it is FUN! I would call it pary bawah-tanah but...yeah...kinda scary when you think of it =p So here's the story:
On Saturday I woke up at 2pm (yes, it was very late), washed up and got dressed, all prepared to go out. Then I got a bombastic news and it spoilt my whole day! Didn't feel like going out at all! My housemate, Brindha saw my 'reaction' towards the news and she invited me to go out with her and the rest of the Wood Green gang (another group of Malaysians). I agreed.
We went to Enfield to get a dozen Krispy Kreme because Brindha's friend wanted to get some. We got one complimentary original glazed doughnuts each as the light on the signboard was turned on. Wooot! After that we went to East Ham, an hour tube ride away to feast on an Indian buffet for 5pounds. The food was fantastic! Proper Indian curry, super spicy with tender mutton and chicken. Loves! I even had Payasem =p some dessert thing with boiled milk, sago, sugar and something else. It was fun.
After that they were all discussing where to go. FYI, by the time we finished our dinner, it was 11pm. Hence we took a tube back. However, for some reason, we got stuck in the tube twice =.= the first time due to some medical emergency from one of the passengers, the second was due to a track failure. Wasted so much time! While we were in the tube, one of our friend was trying to get hold of the 'party bwh-tnh' location. He got a call and it was in Oakwood, which is about 5minutes bus ride away from my place. We all decided to go BUT we had to go back home first as we need to change our attire.
I got a call from them and they said, 'Don't wear so nice ah! No high heels, no skirts. Wear trousers.' Owh-kay. LOL! Hence, me and Brindha went out at 3am to catch a bus to meet the rest. The road was super quiet! Once we reached, we begin our journey into the forest. It was pitch black! They brought torch light so one guy was in front with the torch, us four girls in the middle holding hands like UHU-glued together, and another guy behind us with a torch. We can barely see few meters ahead as it was really dark. It was very spooky. I kept thinking what if someone jump out of the bushes and rob us! LOL! *touchwood* It didn't happen =p
We walked and walked and walked till we finally hear some *boom boom boom* the bass =) Then we still have to walk about 10minutes? It was really IN the forest, totally reminded me of jungle treking in Malaysia! We got closer and closer and finally we can see laser lights in the bushes. LOL! Then there's a small hole in the bushes a.k.a. the 'door'. We have to bend down to get in (for free) and the smell of w**d is sooooo strong! Basically people are dancing and smoking and drinking and just chilling in general. They have 'things' there which you normally won't see on the streets or in public. You name it, they have it! *faham2 la* They even have fire performances! Sadly it was too dark to take pictures. We danced for a bit and then we found a spot a little further away from the 'dance floor' and we lay down some newspaper before sitting down.
We hung out in the jungle with great trance beats till about 6am in the morning. LOL! The sky was already bright by the time we left and the party was still on! We were so hungry and yet we have to walk 30minutes out of the location! Got a bus and reached home at 7am. Makan, mandi, and tidur till 4pm. Great day! LOL! Totally an experience. I took a video of the party but it was still quite dark.

Retail therapy...
I went to work yesterday. I hate customers! LOL! Anyway, my shift was a 3pm-8pm so before that I was packing some of my stuff. Preparing for home!!! LOL! So yea...I came back after work and remembered that I left my room in a mess =)
Bags and boxes of things on my bed =S
The 'China' bag my mum asked me to buy...lol!
Jelly Shoes. Metallic off-white colour.
Very comfy!
Thursdays are staff discount days at Sports World but sadly, I only can buy for myself (i.e. my sizes) so don't ask me to buy for you anything! LOL! Anyway, I spent again. Retail therapy for the stress of packing...HAHAHA! I bought couple of beachwear and exercise clothes and a top. And two pair of shoes! =p I'm so excited over the shoes I bought because I am! LOL!
Very comfy!
My first ever pair of Adidas! (and I worked for it! Yes, I'm not that fortunate =p)
Btw, it says 'Basketball' at the label. So much more for me to get it =p
The best part was, it's only 16.14pounds after discount! OMG right?! LOL!
Yea...shopping is real fun especially when you earn it by putting up with stupidest ever customers! Yesterday I had to walk off from my section that I was tidying to stop looking at the customers! I tidied the back, they mess up the front. I tidy the front, they messed up the back! I'm pretty sure they are not buying anything...they just want to window shop to pass time or something! It's 15minutes to the time the shop closes and they HAD to bring their football-team-family to mess up the shop! It's 7.45pm!!! Go back and eat dinner! Sheesh!
Thanks to that we finished like 40 minutes past our shift. Then the day had to end for the worst. My till was down 20pounds and the till next to mine, 30pounds. Super great! Luckily my till was shared with another colleague so hopefully I'm not the one. Got lectured by the assistant store manager and we left at 8.50pm. They better pay us for that 50minutes!
