My True Feelings
Friday, May 27, 2005
One night before we set off to cardiff, i was in the discussion with mr Antz where we should plan to go during the weekend.
Mr L kor kor told me that they were be going to Carephillary Castle and cardiff during the weekend. So, i quickly send sms to Mr L. To my surprise, he was leading a group of 8 people. That's was a BIG group! And i think i keep smsing mr L kor kor till mr Antz ask me who i am smsing.
We didn't book the ticket online. But we saw £5 offered by the trains online. And there wasn't enough time for us to book through online also. He intend to go to 3 places. OK, listen up, is 3 places. and he didn't really put the journey time into consideration. And when i pintpoint that, he then notice it. But still, wanna proceed to visit 3 places. If he feel that we could actually visit so many places, so be it.
So we set off around 8++ if i dun recall wrongly. Walked all the way down to the trains station. Mr M ran all the way down the trains station as he was late. Fortunately, he managed to catch up with us, otherwise, he will be spending his weekend searching for his own activities.
The train ticket was simply too expensive for us to afford it. One ang mo lady suggested that we should take X40 bus down to cardiff. Though it was a 4 hours ride, but the cost was onli £10 to carmenton and we need to take a train down to cardiff central which cost another £11.40.
We didn't bought the return ticket. And finally we reached cardiff! I was thinking maybe we could join mr L to the castle. since antz say he dun wan to travel, so be it.
Cardiff was quite crowded. Antz and I went to search for the visitor center to look for the accodomation and as well as ask for the attraction here. To my surprise, the staff at the visitor centre told me that the accodomation is full because there is 3 soccer matches here!
Alrite, so we went to the travelodge to book that room. So, i sms Mr L that the room is full. To my surprise, he also couldn't find lodging over his side and planning to stay overnight at the train station. I asked mr Antz if there is any more room over at the travelodge since Mr L is asking for it. Mr Antz told me dun have and we are the last one to take this room.
After settling our accodomation, everyone was starving! To think i had my breakfast cum my lunch at 3pm. Before that, i went to buy one muffin as i knew that i going to get gastric pain.
We got our room keys around 6pm if i dun recall wrongly and i realised that Mr L that side have difficulty searching for the hotel and i was passing msg to them that they are searching for the hotel. And mr Antz could even ask me y dun ask Mr L they all to come to travelodge as there is some room?
I quickly sms mr L, but too late, they got their own accodomation.
Was supposed to meet Mr L for a drink since this group of guys planning for a drinking session. When i told mr antz about it, he change his plan and tell me not to go as it is very dangerous to walk in the night. I was already pissed off by him.
We went out for dinner and i asked them if they wan to have dinner at the city area and can meet up with Mr L group. Mr Antz wan to go to cardiff bay. Was it very hard for them to meet up just for dinner time? I couldn't really understand. My tone changes when i talked to Antz. "just now i asked you wanna go for a drink, then u say u dun wan. Now you want to go. wat do you want?"
I think the whole group know that i am not happy about it. Mervin suggested to go dinner at central area and everyone agreed.
We went to mermaid bay to have dinner. 3 guys in our group went off. After dinner, Mr L group went off, leaving 3 of us there. We walked all the way back to hotel. As we walked, it was damn quiet. I could hear the noise behind us and i asked Mr M and Miss J to walk faster. As the wind kept blowing, we ran instead to keep ourself warm. Before reaching hotel, i suggested that we went to cardiff bay to take photo. But the night scenery wasn't that great after all.
We reached hotel and ask the 3 of them where they went. In fact, they went to the chinese restuarant to have their dinner and kept telling us it was damn cheap! Argh... ask us to go sooooo far, and yet, they went off to have dinner elsewhere with a reason that telling us that they can't find food.
Oh well....
The next day, Mr Antz was suggesting to go to Carephillary Castle where i object and said it was nothing fanastic. Hahahha... I think i purposely object to his suggestion and then they had no choice but to go shopping instead. And Mr Antz was giving me 3 options. and I know he waiting for me to nod my head for one option. but i was ok to anything and let the rest decide. I dun wan to give suggestion nor bothered with any suggestion that he suggest.
So we ended up shopping in cardiff. We went to have dinner at pizza hut and realised we had onli less than 10 mins to take one bus back to cardiff central and to think Mr Antz can asked us to eat slowly till Mr M cannot ta han and suggest that we ta bao back. Mr M already cannot tahan Mr Antz thinking!
At the bus terminal, we couldn't find any bus back to our campus. N i already prepared that we can't go back to campus in time. So be it. I really give up on Mr Antz. I dun wan to decide anything. I left them to think and settle how to go back to campus.
One of them called the other terminal and the other party couldn't really understand Mr Antz english and asked, "Are you speaking English?" Duhz... If not english, wat are we talking about? So Mr Antz pass the hp to Mr E where he started to talk in a slant english that everyone giggled, "Oh whereeeee? Whereeeeee the location?". Couldn't stop laughing.
We managed to board the national express bus back to campus. And along the way, we are fighting to take photo of the sun! See which camera effect is nicer! Hahahahhaha Snap till some camera low batt!!!!
Finally reached campus around 11+++pm

I flew off on the 20th of May and reach London. After 18 hrs or more than that, we stepped into a new world, London. Upon reaching, we had to carry our backpack all the way to search for the hotel that we had booked it long ago. Everyone's backpack was so heavy. The winner of coz goes to Mr M. He was carrying 3 big bags. By the time we reach hotel, everyone was so glad that we can finally put down our stuff.
We tour around the london, where we went to British museum, wax museum, tower of bridge, etc. It's a pity that i didn't get to see the night scenery for tower of bridge. oh well, perhap, i might return one day to london and visit it again bah!
To travel with this group of pple make me so happy and relax. I love travelling with them. To put down work and to travel with a bunch of fun pple certainly make a big different.
there will be certain time where J will asked, "you not tired meh?" or "you dun wan to go back to hotel?" And the timing at that time is 9++pm leh! Isn't it too early to ask such question where we rarely come out to enjoy in london?
There will be times where we will be pissed off by someone who ask how much is the food before we settled for the bill or before even ordered our KFC meal. I just feel wat is the hurry to pay someone back? I just think it is more graciousful to let one person pay for the meal, and the rest to pay him back later when we are back in the hotel. In this way, the outsider will not think that the person who paid the meal kept rushing pple to pay him back, dun you think so?
J doesn't like to owe pple's money. So most of the time, he bought his own train tickets. Find him very "outstanding" indeed.
And during the trip, i also feel that N love to hao lian. sometimes, i cannot stand it. But well, he is better than J. Perhaps, i still can tolerate bah.
Most of the late night was spent playing "Dai dee".
Wat leaves me a great impression is that our Mr L peel the orange for us and feed me. Next followed by Mr M, who in return said, "xie xie L kor kor" which we all burst into laughing. A guy calling a guy kor kor, it did seem funny to us!
I also remember they are comparing the effect of the shot taken by the camera and of coz, Canon is the best after all!
Quite love the shot taken by mr L. It was pretty nice.
I miss the time we are having fun in London, though it was just a 3 days event.
We are split into a group of 3 and waved them goodbye. Each group was sent to different campus and finally arrive at aberystwyth. Took a cab up which cost us about £3 which is about $9++. It not really worth it as the distance is quite short. But well, with our heavy bags, we couldn't really care.
Ok, time to experience school life. So when was the last time i become a full-time student? Think it was about er? 4 years?
Our timetable is as follows:
24th of may, tour around the campus.
25th of may to 3rd of June, we had lecture from 10am to 1pm and practical from 2pm to 3pm.
and of coz there is no lesson on the weekends. Haiz.. for swansea campus they have holiday on monday which all the BCIT pple in aberystwyth envy them.
And their lesson ended today which is i find it so fast!
ok, time to stop here. Will be writing about the weekend trip that i went to visit in another day.

Went to Intel meeting yesterday. Lucky i was not the one who demo ths system.
Seem like the project will be kicked off. But the launched date will be on July 2nd and i wasn't in SG. It is a good chance for me to get bonus but it seem like a bad time for me to fly oversea. Well, leave it to fate. Is it meant for me to get bonus, it will be.

Uncle, who is my colleague was telling me that i could claim insurance for the loss of my stuff at home. And i asked another colleague to verify becoz it doesn't seem logical at all.
My colleague doesn't know and went to ask another agent who happened to do insurance. Becoz if insurance so easy to claim, i might as well lie to the insurance agent that i have lost million of cash at home, and it wasn't burgarly. It was misplaced. And you think insurance agent will pay u? Fat Hope and WAKE UP!
And You can ONLY claim insurance provided that you can PROVE that your house broke in.
One colleague even suggested, "y not scratch ur door? that prove got buglar mah."
"her house got guard leh. you think agent will buy the stories?"
"ya hor"
And the conclusion is Uncle still insist that i still can claim insurance. Oh please, if it is so easy to claim, Singaporean will be rich. They dun have to work, They just need to crack their brain on how to claim money will do. Isn't it?

Hahahah.. someone asked me this question. A young guy by the age of 19 started to show interest in this gal.
Well, i would say:
1. Dress well. Who doesn't like their admirer to make an effort to dress up? And to my survey, i realised a lot of gals loves guy who dress up. Some even love the guys who wears uniform! Hm... i should make one survey whether which uniform is popular? Army, police, air force??
2. Be humourous. If without humourous, life will bored, isn't it? A guy who manages to manage to make a gal laugh will have a good impression of him. Dun believe? Try it.
3. Be in happy mood. SHow your nice white teeth.
4. Show her concern. Care for her, look out for her, e.g look out for traffic light, opening the door. Be more gentleman. Always be there for her when she just need a listening ear.
5. Give her some freedom. You can't always call the gal everyday to chit-chat when she is not yours. You can't expect her to report to u where she went. You can't expect her to tell u everything becoz she is not yours. A gal need a lot of FREEDOM.
Unless you are her bf, and tat will be a different story.
5. Notice what she likes or dislikes. If she dislikes a particular things, remember it forever. At least she will notice that you do notice her habit.
6. Be always listening or attentive to her. If she say YES, just do it. If she mean NO, just listen to it. When she just dun feel like going out, respect her. Or when she say she wanna change date, respect her. Or if she wish to go somewhere far away and need you to accompany, just go with her. But sometimes, you got to judge yourself . For e.g. You notice that she like a particular thing. THen you volutneer to buy for her. Of coz, she will naturally reject your offer by saying "No". But if you really can sense that she really like it a lot, maybe this is a good chance for you to buy it for her and she will have a good impression.
7. Be generous. If you are generous enough, we sure have a good impression of you.
8. Be more active. Be more active in helping us buy drink, carry heavy thing or even light things. We dun need you to carry our purse or bag. But we need you to volutneer to help us carry heavy stuff if that is possible.
9. Be more sensitive. You should be more sensitive of her feelings. How she feel about this and that.
try this
If you tend to look at other gender for a long time and then when she look at you, you turn your head. Then she turn back. You look at her again for a few seconds. And when she look at you, u turn back. This time you will notice that she will look at you for quite some times. It works!
How to chase a gal?
Hahahah.. someone asked me this question. A young guy by the age of 19 started to show interest in this gal.
Well, i would say:
1. Show her concern.
2. Notice what she likes or dislikes. If she dislikes a particular things, remember it forever.
3. Be always listening or attentive to her. When she just dun feel like going out, respect her. Or when she say she wanna change date, respect her.
4. Buy her chocolate. I heard gals love chocolate. But I dun like. Dun ask me y.
and wat other things?
Hm... maybe tonight i shall write a brief one. *yawns* waiting for time to knock off.
Maybe u guys can give me some feedback???? or gals who wanan give feedback??? Wanna make sure that my frenz can chase this sweet gal. -
I am grateful that Louis is able and most important of all, willing to help me when i am facing some difficulty. This time, i will owe u one big delicious lunch but you got to wait for this lunch, hahahaha.
Actually, i wasn't that sad when i couldn't find the money. Surprisingly, i didn't shed a tear when i knew the money went missing. Maybe deep inside my heart, i praying that it will appear one day. But in my mind, i knew this money will not appear. The day when the air ticket and the pounds lost, i just keep silent throughout the nite. My family member was a bit "xin tong" for me. I got numb, i think, or perhaps i was thinking of other solution rather than keep on finding back the money for days. Jes was totally surprised that I could actually laugh when the huge money went missing. I also find my behaviour puzzled.
Until one day, i called her and asked about the trip information and realised that her words used was so cruel. Tears started to flow down my cheeks and I couldn't really believe it. She was my kin. Yet, she can say something that hurt me a lot.
From then on, I shall tell myself, I shall not be dependent on her. Or I should say I need to be more independent, much more stronger.
