Holiday 2008 in Britain

Just discovered that easter break will be on 21-24 March 2008. It is so early for this year.
Oh, 2 more months to go. Have to plan where to go now. Gosh... Will just be back from Spain trip on 9th March 2008, then will travel again on 20th March 2008????

When am I going to finish my research and PhD then???? Tension, if no travel, like 对不起自己。

Hai!"!"!"¬!"¬!"¬!¬

Bank Holiday for 2008 will be as follow:

5/5/2008
26/5/2008

Where to go this time?????

DS Lite Pink

My 2008 present wish list for myself is DS-LITE Pink colour.
It costs £120 in England. Does anyone of you know how much does it cost in Malaysia?????Where can I buy it???
I wish to buy one to play Cooking Mama.

Swarovski Bailee Bracelet

My mom like Swarovski very much. Hence, I bought this for my mom today :

Bailee Bracelet
Rhodium-plated cupchain bracelet with prong-set clear crystal chatons arranged in a star shape; bezel-set, pear-shaped cut clear crystals; lobster clasp closure; dangling venetian box chain.
Article no.: 865041
Size: 18 cm
Regular price:
GBP 75.00
Current price:
GBP 52.50

Dare not think too much.

Although it left 25 days to Malaysia, but I really dare not think of it.

Every time when I expect and plan for something, something for sure will not happen as I wish.

Below is a good case for me:

4 of us were supposed to go to portugal together, but, 3 of them were refused boarding because sye loong opted for online check-in which is only eligible for EU/EEA passport holder.

At the departure lounge, the security guy didn't check my passport and the boarding pass properly and I managed to get in successfully. I thought we were safe, however at the departure gate, they were caught not having a EU passport, but a Malaysian passport. And 3 of them were left stranded in Stansted. The Ryanair manager came to talk to them, and told them that the check-in desks had been closed, and there's no way that they can re-issue a boarding pass to them. Aww... this is a disaster!!! They quickly ran out of the departure lounge and back to the customer service, hoping that Ryanair could put them on the next available flight for FREE.. fat hope! The ground staff told them that it costs £868++ for a single ticket to Porto today at 18:30. This is ridiculous, In the end, they decided to book another flight tomorrow morning to Porto to meet up me.

See, it was really unexpected, no body will think of they will not fly on the same day as me.

Only God knows what will happen next.

Hopefully Virgin train will not have any delay again on the day I gotta take the train from Derby to Birmingham International.

Hopefully I can manage to check in successfully with my name and passport.

Hopefully there will not be any delay for the flight on 31/1/08.

Hopefully... Urgh... can't predict anything will happen then....

So, may God allow me to fly back to Penang on time as plan safely to celebrate cny 2008 with my parents.

They are back...;(

Time flies, 2 weeks already, so fast...

They are back.
The kitchen will start to be messy and dirty again.
The rubbish will start to pile up again.
No one will care to throw the rubbish at all.
The noise will be back again.
The loud music will played again....

Urgh....why so fast????

I wish I can live in the flat alone....

Shopping Spree at London (27/12/2007)

This is the trend or rather say culture in England where there will be a grand super sales after 26/12. A lot of items will have 70% or more discount. At this time, you can get a LV bag which costed £1500 discounted become £150. But of course, in order to get this, you need to queue up early in the morning to grab it.Anyway, I was not that crazy. I just went to the Oxford Street and Regent Street to feel the atmosphere of the shopping spree. This two street are the famous street for shopping and you can find a lot of branded goods here.It was really "people mountain, people sea".I noticed that the street lighting and the complex decorations were not that pretty if wanna compared to those in HongKong, Singapore or even Malaysia. I bought myself a pair of Clarks sport shoes. It is really cheap. It less 50 % . The original price was £36.99 and now I bought it for £16.99. It is so comfortable to wear.

Happy Christmas and Happy New Year to all...

The shortest day of the year - Winter Solstice

"Sat., Dec. 22, 2007, 1:08 A.M. EST (06:08 UT), marks the solstice—the beginning of winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in the Southern Hemisphere"

It marks the shortest day and the longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. The sun appears at its lowest point in the sky, and its noontime elevation appears to be the same for several days before and after the solstice. Following the winter solstice, the days begin to grow longer and the nights shorter.

On last Saturday, I found that the day turned dark at around 3:30pm. But I did not notice when did the sun rise because of two reasons. First is because there wasn't any sun on that day and second I slept until 9:30am. ;p

New RM 50 Notes

New RM 50 Notes will release on 30 January 2008 in conjuction of the 50th Annniversary of Malaysia.

According the the news, it has more secure features compared to the old notes.

The RM50 note gets a makeover with enhanced anti-forgery security features and a design theme reflecting how far Malaysia has moved up the economic value chain after 50 years of independence.

The illustrations on the note include oil palm trees and microbiology technology, representing Malaysia’s economic transformation to the higher value-added activities in the agricultural, manufacturing, services and other sectors.

The front retains the portrait of the first king, Tuanku Abdul Rahman Tuanku Muhammad, on the right. The national hibiscus flower is in the centre.
Songket patterns frame the background and edges of the note to reflect traditional Malaysian textile handicraft and embroidery.

On the back, first Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman is featured raising his hand in proud declaration of Merdeka! There is the logo of the 50th Independence anniversary as well.

I am going to ask my mom to keep the new notes for me!!!!

X'mas Shopping

Time Flies, 2007 is going to end soon. Another 3 weeks more we will approach a new year, 2008.Christmas is just around the corner too. Everybody is preparing for the Christmas. When I went to the town today, I noticed that there was a lot of people in the shopping centre doing the Christmas shopping, buying gift for friends and family. There was a long queue to pay for the goods. I like Christmas very much especially Christmas song and Christmas decoration. I bought some Christmas present for my friend too.

Counting Down....

I am so excited now.
I cant wait for the day to see you!!!!
I am going to give a big surprise to parents.
Hopefully it will not be 一场高兴，一场空。
Cos normally when I am too excited for something, at the end is not what I expected.
But before this day comes, I need to discipline myself to finish all my research work so that I can really enjoy the day.
May god lead my way!!!!

Inductive Reasoning

Trying to find information on Inductive and Deductive reasoning, suddenly came across this application which amazed me.

The google sets will help you to predict other term in the set after you key in a few items in the set.

This is what we call inductive. Conclusions is likely based on premises

My new blogging life

I created this blogspot 6 years ago. That was the first time I encountered with blogging introduced by my best uni mates cum collegues. But I did not post any entry to it until today I decided to start blogging using this blogspot again.
The main reason is because I would like to involve myself in the paid to blog scheme.
I found out that a few of my ex uni mates are so keen to blog and they get paid for it. They are the HEAF family. They manage to earn quite a lot in a month... It is a quick and easy income to me. It is a good way to earn money online too with no capital for it.
Sean aka doggy told me that it does not have any future to blog at blogspot and offer me to park at his domain. But I am so busy to design my own logo to start to blog at his domain. SO I decided to use blogspot first.
Actually, I have a permanent blog at multiply (http://yukiyama.multiply.com/) which I used to write on my daily lifes in UK and travel in Europe. But when I tried to submit to the payperpost, this blog was rejected.
They said that the blog does not have 20 written posts in the past 90 days. Well, I update it quite often... May be they do not accept multiply...
Anyway, I decided to try my luck using blogspot before I have the free time to design the logo for Sean aka doggy to park at his domain.

But I can't start to participate at the payperpost now because they request to have at least 20 written post in 90 days. Hence, I think I will start the get paid career after February.

Hmm.. have to start to blog often to get paid soon...

how r u?? testing now!!!:)
