reminiscences

It's pretty interesting to read back the old blog entries I wrote some years (?!time flies) back.

1. how it changed from pictureless to can't-write-an-entry-without-a-pic.

2. How it changed from

"long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to readl ong paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read long paragraph is so annoying to read "

to this:

"ahhh...this is better! Short, simple and succint!"

3. How it evolved from the original layout:

to this:


Looking back at what I wrote in the past reminded me of the things which I had forgotten, the more carefree me, the innocent and more naive me whose only duty was to get 4A's in A levels during that time....

Now I have greater responsibilities, my worries not only lie in passing med school, but also in earning enough money to support myself, in improving my interpersonal skills and relationships, in constantly be on par with others, in whether I get married and have kids in the next few years (?!), in my future career - whether it's in the UK or elsewhere...

ohhhh....how I wish I could wind back time and go back to my worry-free childhood

aiyooo...

see those cracks?

earthquake on my cheesecake!!

sighhhh....

lesson learnt:

1. never use a whisk to whisk the cream cheese batter
2. Never over-mix the batter
3. don't over-bake the cheesecake!!

OR ELSE IT WILL CRACKKK!!! argh!

thank God that we've managed to find a housemate so we don't need to move anymore!!! yayyy...

weather a cyclist hate

5 times a week, every weekday evening, I have been cycling to and fro Royal Mail faithfully except for certain reasons like when I have the monthly thing..you know la..haha:p

I have been through the breezing autumn, the freezing winter and the unpredictable spring.

There are 4 kinds of weather which I hate most:

weather number 1: fog

so far I've only met this kind of weather once when I was cycling to work early in the morning. Visibility was definitely only within 50m. Lights must be switched on in order for road users to see me.


weather number 2: rain

I always moaned when it rains. It somehow dampens my spirit as I was cycling back. Sometimes I wonder why do I have to struggle so much to go back when I could just hop on the bus back.

i'm lucky sometimes when it rains when I go back coz I can change my clothes. But if it rains when I go to work, I have to wear my wet jeans until it get dry.

weather number 3: hail

The hails can be painful and annoying when it hit my face and blur my vision.


weather number 4: strong winds!

This tops my most-hate list of weather. Try imagining cycling up a slope and the wind blowing against you. or try imagining forcing you poor legs to cycle against the wind when you have been standing almost 10 hours. Many times strong winds have slowed my time back home.

sorry ah. no pic of strong winds.

I was nearly like the stick-man in this pic. Instead of clinging on to a tree, I was actually grabbing a traffic light, hanging for my dear life (a bit exaggerated..haha)


The weather which I dun cycle in is snow:

This is the only exception for me to use bus to work as the road will be too slippery for me to cycle. But one of my RM friends actually cycles to work. I find it amusing that he actually chuckled at the times he fell down from his bike due to the slippery road.

So...

Lesson of the day: Be grateful when the weather is nice and warm! Dun take it for granted!

nice website

Nice flash on this Christian website.

I find it really touching sometimes.

enjoy watching =)

postage hike!

Everything is getting more and more expensive in UK. Petrol price is increasing..now it's the stamps price.

Although the price may increase for letters/packets weighing less than 500gm, the good news is, the price for anything weighing more than that will be lesser for first class mail.

new postage price on right, old postage price on left

of coz postage price increase, people ask, 'ur pay got increase or not?'

nahhh..instead RM reduced our break time from 30 min to 20 min. Such 'great' slash in our break time will definitely make the lazy RM employees protest. However, RM came out with a plan for a win-win situation...hehe...

that is...they gave us a lump sum of bonus!!! wahahahaha...but still I kena taxed kau kau

with money, (almost) anything is possible =)
