just how many days already??

i actually do have things to blog about but i forgot to blog every. fucking. time??? this post is gonna be like bursts of days hahaha

ok rewind a few days ago. i finally got to try the beef long ribs from red's true barbecue i've been dying to try out!

it was actually not bad and they have like many different sauces to go with different things. the onions rings were super crispy but they were not as sweet as i would like onion rings to be. but 10 points for the crispiness. i struggled with picking between onion rings and mac and cheese, but i chose the former because i wouldn't want 2 soft things going together. maybe i'll try it the next time i go back for the wings.

on the same day i bought a book. well not sure if it's considered as buying since i didn't have to pay for it because i got the stamp card completely stamped. that was £10 off a purchase and the book was £9.99.

as if i don't have other books i haven't even started reading? that day i also received all the dvds i ordered. so apart from beauty and the beast, and the circle (which aren't out on dvd yet), i've got all the movies that emma watson starred in! at least as a main character.

sometimes i wonder why myself? (some of the movies were a little boring and tbh emma was a little kayu in some of these movies LOL don't kill me, i still love her very much, i do think she acted well in certain movies....) ANYWAY now i just need to figure out how to get these back to malaysia.

a couple of days later i went out for lunch. i was craving for cheong fun and korean food, so once again i had to pick between those two. but i went for chinese food anyway because cheong fun!

yes there was cheong fun but it came after i took this photo. i really liked the chicken feet hehe. so after lunch that day i went to sports direct to get the precision mitts because yokkao sells them for $104 (!!!) and the everlast ones from sports direct were on half price.

possibly not as tailored to muay thai training as yokkao's but hey, i ain't a pro yet so no complaining. £15 is about a quarter of $104, so why not? can't wait to train with someone!

and then i ordered a couple pairs of harem pants for traveling because i heard they are light and thin, and dry easily, unlike jeans.

i really like this pair but they have yet to arrive. i hope it arrives soon so i have time to send it for alteration but hopefully i wouldn't have to. the other pair though, has arrived today! YAY but it's super big and long (that's what she said HAHAHA jk)

i really love this rainbow one but it's BIG AS FUCK?? the pants itself cost £15 but i just sent it for alteration (because i really love it that much) and it costs £22, which surpasses the original price of the pants LOL fml. i'll think of it as a £37 pants instead, that'll make me feel better.

if all else fails, i'll just fuck it and take my jeans with me LOL

anyway i have training this evening! i've gained weight because i've been fixing my craving and it isn't a very wise thing to do hahahaha! plus, after training tonight i'll be getting a drink with a friend (all dem sugars) and tomorrow i'll be having lunch with a friend (and her friends) for her birthday. AND before the lunch we'll be watching beauty and the beast AGAIN, my 5th time tomorrow. well, i'll be visiting metrocenter this saturday (which is emma's birthday, btw) to watch it AGAINx2 for the 6th time. I KNOW, DON'T JUDGE ME. i'll also have a look in primark to see if they have the stuff my friend is looking for. of course, it is also a must to visit GAME to see if there's any interesting offer.

ahhh looks like my weight lost has to resume next week...

thus it is monday again...

so it's monday again. a new week has begun! i look forward to my weighing tomorrow LOL. come to think of it, it's already april 2017. how time flies. i still remember the first day i landed in newcastle like it was just yesterday. but that was almost 3 years ago. oh wow.

anyway, today i got up earlier than expected (as usual because of my shitty sleeping pattern), so i went out to print some stuff, submit my essay, and get some groceries. i bought more stuff than i originally intended to so i bore the consequences by carrying all the heavy shit back. i didn't even get to buy my seafood. or have a look at ear studs at claire's (i wonder if the discount voucher is still valid), or browse for books in waterstones because i have the stamp card fully stamped. i might do it on wednesday or thursday. this week's meal will be turkey and beans chilli.

then i went for training. i was super tired because i didn't sleep well, though i did take a nap on the floor but it wasn't enough i guess. ah it's my final month of training before i leave for good. i'm actually pretty sad about it. i suppose i've grown to love the gym. i came back and had tesco's chicken dinner, it was just, plain.

so i plan to watch beauty and the beast again. i know, i've said this like 10 times before but i really can't help it!!!! emma watson is completely captivating and absolutely beautiful. I AM IN LOVE. it's her birthday in like 12 days, so maybe i should watch it again on that day to celebrate her birthday HAHA. speaking of emma, i ordered all the dvds of the movies she starred in. LOL what an impulse but at least i've done it. i'll get the harry potter box set when i get back to malaysia. i hope beauty and the beast gets released in malaysia too, otherwise i'll have to ship it from amazon....

right, just another 3000 words to finish my dissertation! go go go !!

so i got a new fridge

right basically i didn't get a new drawer. i got a whole new fridge. and i when i was trying to turn on the fridge, i couldn't reach the switch at the back so i used the mop.

i broke the mop.

LOL seriously i'm breaking everything just months before i leave. i taped it up and it is still usable though. i emailed them about it, and i'm prepared to pay :(

yesterday after training my trainer gave me a shirt! i'm so happy CRIES a reward for all the bruises.

oh yeah yesterday i watched beauty and the beast AGAIN. TWICE. LOL I AM SERIOUSLY AN EMMA WATSON TRASH. there's more to that.

before the movie, i went to hiyou to get some biscuits and bumped into my friend from penang, whom i made dinner plans with. she talked to this worker lady who's from taiwan and my friend told her that i really love Hebe from S.H.E, and that she thought that I looked like Ella the first time she saw me. know what the worker lady said? she said i look "prettier" than Ella. seriously WTF HAHAHAHAHA that was so funny i had no words!! after i paid for stuff, i watched beauty and the beast for the 3rd time.

after the movie, i met up with the penang friend and discussed where to grab dinner. we wandered around and had a look at many restaurants. we passed by disney store and she insisted she would get me this discounted winnie the pooh plushie as my early birthday present. since it's a disney store, naturally i walked to the beauty and the beast section to have a look. BEING THE EMMA WATSON THAT I AM I BOUGHT THE POP VINYL FIGURE, THE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK AND AND AND....

 the winnie the pooh plushie.

 the figure and the cd at the side.

AND I FUCKING BOUGHT THIS BAG AS WELL LOL. what the flying fuck i walked around holding this bag like a true blue emma watson fan. i don't know if i actually felt embarrassed; i just thought it was very funny.

so in the end we had dinner at cabana but the portion was pretty small so we weren't full. we asked for the dessert menu and never actually ordered anything because i was thinking about the bread and butter pudding from turtle bay next door LOL we paid the bill and went out from cabana. being the indecisive people that we are, we ended not getting bread and butter pudding and agreed to discuss where to get dessert inside the mall because it's cold outside. we were talking and walking at the same time, for some reason we kept walking toward the cinema's direction (where i watched beauty and the beast earlier this day), and she was like "why are we walking to the cinema??" 

me: "because we're used to this route whenever we come up here!"

her: "omg this is the second time you've been here today..."

me: "yeah since we're here let's watch a movie again HAHAHA."

her: "i actually want to watch a movie but i dunno what to watch."

me: "let's watch beauty and the beast HAHAHA."

her: "are you serious? you just watched like, just now!"

me: "hahahhaa i really don't mind as long as i can watch emma."

her: "really? i don't mind either because i planned to watch in on 2D again anyway."

me: "YES but you have to buy the tickets because i think the person at the counter might recognize me, this time WITH AN EMMA WATSON BAG WTF"

her: "LOL DAMN SIASUI."

that's how i ended up watching beauty and the beast two times yesterday. but i must say emma watson is absolutely beautiful. i will watch it again i swear. and buy the dvd. we had a little trouble buying the tickets; we kind of booked our own seats so we couldn't buy them again, so we bought a row up and hoped that no one would buy the seats we originally selected because we were gonna sit in them. but then four people did show up and looked for their seats (the ones we were sitting in), OOPS but they were kind enough to let us have it and they sat beside us instead. sorry LOL

yeah, that's the story for yesterday and today. did all the cleaning today so i don't have to do it tomorrow. yay!

super tired

today was a tiring tiring day. i made curry for lunch, and went out to get more cords to make my cobra knot. not only i failed to make a correct knot (though it's still decent for a safety "chain"), my skin peeled off thanks to the friction while i pull the cords to tighten the knot. i have a spare piece of cord, i'll see if i can make the correct knot the next time.

 i actually had to peel the top layer off because it was hanging....

and there! put on carabiner and it's ready to be hung on my jeans. i hope it's useful. i don't want my stuff getting stolen everywhere i go. in fact, i personally think it's very smart HAHA.

oh yeah. remember i said something about the international travel adapter, handmade braided clothesline, and a super slim power bank?

 this thing is actually pretty cool. and for an international adapter, it doesn't feel too heavy for what it does. now i can go anywhere in the world! well, 220 countries to be exact.

 slide those stuff and the plugs come right out.

 my handmade clothesline with its carabiner! good quality carabiners, too. i might swap it with my safety chain one. the clothesline is about 150cm in length. this looks pretty good eh.

 super slim power bank and it's pink LOL

and it's not very big as well. it fits in my money belt; not too bulky. it's perfect if i keep spending all my cash and thinning down the belt to make space for it LOL

i'm really tired. i need to handwash all my clothes for 3-4 days otherwise i won't have enough pants and uniform to wear to training. and i also need to do work... let's get back to that..

hungry

it's 1203am right now and i'm feeling a little bit hungry. so tempted to make tea and dunk biscuits but i'm worried that tea might ruin my sleep because of the caffeine... help? or maybe i should just finish the rotting banana so i can move on to the new comb of bananas.

my work is going according to plan, i'm happy. now i just have to worry about the others for a little while more... also need to plan my trip in detail because i know how lost i can be. i also made a travel clothesline and bought an international travel adapter which is pretty cool. i'll upload a photo tomorrow if i didn't forget. i also bought a super slim power bank and it fits in my money belt which is great news.

time flies it's a little scary. but i guess it's normal.

broke the freezer drawer.

this was such a stupid situation. so i was trying to clear up my freezer drawer to make space for my burger patty, i removed the drawer to rearrange the stuff inside and i noticed that there were so much ice in and around the drawer. i gave it a quick wash to clean it out. before i put in the drawer, i saw that the first drawer was so covered in ice, the ice was so thick the drawer was jammed shut. there was nothing but ice in the drawer and i wondered how my flatmate managed to keep food without freezing it. since i was clearing up the ice anyway, i tried removing the chunks of ice to see if i could get the drawer out. i smashed the ice a couple of times, tried pulling the drawer out for a couple of times... and on my final attempt, i thought that i'd removed enough ice and that if i pulled hard enough the drawer would push through the ice. i exerted a little extra bit of force and.... the handle broke LOL

see those cracks?? shards of ice flew everywhere and a piece of the drawer flew off somewhere i couldn't see. well, i confessed my sins to the guy at the reception to make sure that my flatmates do not pay for my mistakes hahaha!! this freezer is one dumbass fucker i tell you; last year i managed to scrape off a bucket of ice. this time the ice was so thick the door can't even shut completely AND STILL is able to freeze shit up. doing its job right i guess.

somewhere in the process of breaking things, i somehow cut myself.

maybe it's the revenge of the ice, or the drawer. it could be that damn piece of drawer that broke off. oh well. the maintenance people will come and have a look on monday.

i had only one mango for dinner. i thought it would be enough but i was so wrong. i was organizing my room and wanted to get rid of some stuff, i asked a friend if she wanted some extra toilet rolls and toilet fresheners. she said yes so i sent them over and ended up having some wasabi peas, a bowl of instant tomyam noodles (seriously wtf) and half a cup of really weird chinese rose herbal drink AT 11PM. i felt (feel) so bad i'm not gonna sleep until it's past 3am, well 4am because daylight savings time just jumped hehe. from 1259am to 2am. pretty cool.

oh and apparently the european market is on again!!! i shall have a look on monday after helping a coursemate with her dissertation (as a participant for her research). i'm also going to the quayside market (again, i know) tomorrow. i mean, how many sundays left do i have anyway?

it's 3am now, i have another hour to go. maybe i'll give dying reborn a try and hopefully that won't take my sleep away...

swept off the floor!

so today i had training in the morning at 1130am, and it was about kick-catching lessons and how to defend and respond to the kick. so my trainer demonstrated it on me. he caught my right kick, pushed my head down so my weight went sideways, and he swept my foot off the ground! i fell on the floor on my side and the world spun for 2 seconds. HAHA what a thrilling experience. given my weight, the fall was probably quite hard because it took me like a minute to recover hahahaha

after the class, i was hungry so i wondered if i should try the pizza at this cafe that's on the way back. it was a struggle because i just finished training??? i asked a friend and she said YES PIZZA so i went for it anyway. it wasn't a slice of pizza, IT WAS A WHOLE DAMN PIZZA.

i must say though, this margherita pizza was really nice! the base was not the usual thick ones like those you find at pizza hut or dominos, so it doesn't fill you up with dough. would definitely recommend and go back. that was pineapple juice at the back. hmm now i want calamari rings.

anyway my flatmate was singing at 4am and that woke me up. i knocked on the wall and thankfully she lowered her voice. maybe she was half drunk cause i heard her leave around 1030pm last night. i hope it never happens again. well i won't be here much longer though...

oh yeah! i got earth defense force 2 on both my vitas so i can play it on ad hoc with a friend! it is a game about giant insects invading earth and we've gotta defend earth! hence, earth defense force LOL i played it once on a friend's computer and i really enjoyed it. now i can enjoy it again!

i'm trying to get more work done but i guess i'm gonna have tea and biscuits now.
