life

"Try to imagine a life without timekeeping. 

You probably can't. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car. You have a schedule, a calender, a time for dinner or a movie. Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. 

Man alone measure time. 

Man alone chimes the hour. 

And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. 

A fear of time running out."

- Mitch Albom "The Time Keeper"

a fear of time running out,

sadly true.

dst

this morning I woke up and checked the time from my phone.

10.30am.

and when I walked to my desk and read the time on my watch,

11.30am.

where did my one hour go??!!

and that was when I finally realized daylight saving starts today.

Brief synopsis:

"The idea of "Daylight Saving Times" (DST) was proposed by George Vernon Hudson in 1985. DST was first implemented in Germany and Austria-Hungary on 30 April 1916. A lot of countries uses DST at various times since then. The whole concept of DST is to let people enjoy more sun and enable people to fully utilize daylights in the winters and autumns when sunlight is more scarce. 

Adding daylight to evenings benefits retailing, sports and other activities that exploit sunlight after working hours."

"Daylight saving time- Wiki"

and that was when I realized we're now eight hours apart

why make skyping so hard wor :(

at the same time this is kinda exciting hehe!


I'm reminding myself to say "pardon" instead of "what" so constantly i'm going to have a stomachache.

little updates

1. made a friend from HELP. such a coincidence and what a shame we didn't discover her till week2.

she's an Indian and sometimes when I talk to her, I talk too fast and suddenly I'm talking in Chinese,

and suddenly I realized she does not understand Chinese.

2. I don't have a full-length mirror in my room. which is causing me problems. Sometimes I annoy my housemates by asking them how do I look and continually changing and asking and changing again if I think I look weird. Other times I check my attire at the glass walls near the bus-stop. Other times I'll talk to laiminhou and see if i look ok through skype webcam T_T

3. Watched Cats yesterday night. 好欢乐好喜欢哦. goosebumps crept all over myself when I finally finally got to listen to the live version. and how spectacular and amazing the musical was. the colours, lightings and all. the only thing is.. in addition to the many things happening on stage, I had to keep my eyes on the subtitle beside the stage. my eyes so busy. haha

4. I like sitting beside the new hongkie friend I made. Although I don't think he likes to be disturbed T___T

5. skyping with everyone. and realized that what an impact we both had on each other. I really miss my best friend in uni. of course i think the same way of you. 在这里真的想不到有谁可以像你包容我的鲁莽和笨拙but at the same time又不忘奚一奚落我.我在这里真的比较小心呢. 在这里真的要放精一点因为我有时真的孤立无援 T__T 我真的很想把你打包来英国. 每次你说你也要来我认真认真觉得你有一丝来的希望. 真的遗憾没有办法在大学的三年都粘在一起.. 可是真真幸运我遇见的是你. 以后可能没有那么多共同语言, 可是请不要放弃我okay. 还有谢谢你做了我一年四个月的糖粘豆.我真的很想你 :(

好怀念呀

话说前几天把Manchester去了一去啦

和可嘉去把嘉敏见了一见

见到好朋友感觉真好 T___T



一起说着说着走着走着时很没有压力的

一起讲着没有人明白的语言

真的很开心的

我并没有不喜欢我现在的生活

我很喜欢交新朋友

只是我更加喜欢你们

话说我每次看到我的housemate阿或者朋友阿

有朋友和男朋友来找

我真的很羡慕的leh.

你们全部赶快存多多钱来这里玩啦

我很挂住你们阿

我在这里看到很多很美的风景

我很想给你们看的 T__T

我在这里很好

只是有时偶尔会想念大家

得知很不好的消息
发现自己困在这个一直下雨和家里有七个小时时差的地方
在10,000公里外只能对着科技知道关于你们
连一个拥抱都没有办法
很远很无奈很无助
请大家好好照顾自己
要好好保重 
在那么远我真的做不到什么
感觉很不好

hello!!

这里很好  只是有点太安静

这里下的雨也很安静很安静

他就是默默的下雨

如果不用眼睛仔细看你不会发现在下雨

不像在家假设下雨他就下很大一场

打雷打鼓酱大大声怕没有人听到酱

可是这里真的很安静

没有风扇的声音, 没有车辆的声音, 没有鸟叫, 没有狗吠

没有邻居念经的声音, 厨房的声音都听不到

晚上只有发神经的洋人有时大喊大叫,

或者打字的声音 ,电脑在扇风的声音

还有晚上躺在床上一只听到肚子在叫,

一直叫一直叫.

最开心是Enrica来问我要吃东西吗?

或者和我讲话.

不然这里真的很安静

有时安静得有点太寂寞

 

不过我很好

我明天就去玩耍咯!!! :D

hello 4:56am in malaysia

okay before I start studying.

well I am a really lucky lucky girl, I met really good people here.

First of all I have leekherjia, who is still ridiculously unpredictable and annoying.

thanks to her I got to meet a lot of new friends,

and her kind housemates that are nice enough to cook dinner for me so often;

Hali, my mean Asian friend.

With her people won't label me as the pitiful pathetic lonely Asian girl in class wtf.

My housemates, that invite me to dinner when they see that I'm not cooking.

Especially Enrica that really helped a lot. Couldn't be more thankful.
*wipes tear dramatically*

 

the kelian part is.
I don't eat really well here.

I bought a lot of kit-kats and walkers&kettles chips because they are so fkin cheap.
and will eat them instead of real food.

I don't often have proper meals here. To me, rice and lauk-pauk is so luxurious.

and Hali is so hardworking sometimes she freaks me out wtf.

That's why I am going to study on the third week of the semester. wtf

Other than that I am doing really good.

Except for that tiniiii winnii moment every morning I wake up, I miss home.

 

 

Leaving all of you Malaysian things behind isn't easy though.

I'm learning and
kept reminding myself that this will most probably be the best two years of my life and I will not waste it by whining and missing home most of the time.

 

 

 

Oh and that day I went for a walk in the city with my camera and i-pod.

contented with a good bowl of bibimbap.

Oh by the way I'm not sure why my nostalgic heart includes korea too wtf.

I miss korea T.T

 

Till then :)
