Don't cry over spilt milk

Don't cry over spilt milk.

I am not gonna explain, clarify or salvage what i had done. The more explanation, the more excuses it seem to be. As i told you, my blog is me and i am my blog. Blogging is a way of giving full vent to my feelings and also a mean to share my stories. Every single blog that i write exactly reflects my feelings and story for the day.

You might be cross, i know. If you were in my shoes, you would know the reasons.

I am not sure if you are reading this. If yes, let's talk. Don't vanish again.

I seem silly but it's just me...leave me or take me.

Happy new year to you.

Just say so

Just say so if you are cross,
Just say so if you are frowned,
Just say so if you are pissed.

Hide it ruins you,
Hide it ruins me,
Hide it ruins we.

Speak out, speak out and just speak out!!!

MK, thanks for cooking the lovely chicken rice this evening! Love ya soooo much...

Something about me

I am a very frank, direct and honest person.

When i am happy, i give a good laugh. When i am sad, i give a good cry. When i am pissed, i give a pissed face. That's just me. A very expressive person. If you look at my face, you'll definitely know my mood unless you are a nerveless person!

I can be nice if you show me your respect. I can be nasty if you are mean to me! Don't expect to earn my respect if you don't show me yours!

I am Fei Yong and Fei Yong is me. I don't care if you'll like me as that's just me! I have my value, dignity and principle and if you think you can't embrace it, just leave me alone.

I want to shine for myself and NOT for you!

I love the chemistry between us and thought things go well. However, you just vanished without trace and i believe that you are ditching me! Come on, what's the problem of being honest? Yes is yes and no is no. I am not a bugger! You are definitely a good piece of evidence! An evidence of bastard!

A good laugh and a good company did dispel my gloominess

We went to Regent Park again which near Baker Street tube station. It is another breaktaking view of this park. I think one of the few things i love about London is the beautiful park located. If you wanna take your minds off the hectic life for a while, there are always parks available for you to seek serenity and tranquility.





MK and i really had a lot of fun posing funny pictures. Did i look happy? Yes...i was. It is such a joy when you laugh loudly leaving all your troubles behind.





We went to Belgo for dinner, a Belgium restaurant, located in Covent Garden.


I want to specifically mention the special deals of this restaurant 'Beat the clock'. Meaning to say, you pay for the price of the food for the time you make the order, ie if you make an order at 5pm, you pay for the dishes you order for 5 pounds and etc. Certainly, there are only few dishes that fall into this special deal. Look at the yummy dishes that we had.

Bouchee Aux Champignone_a mushroom tart cooked with creamy sauce


Pork & Leek Sausages ordered by MK


MK called this dish as 猪小肠, small intestine of pig. Okie...i know the translation in English seems gross. Just bear with me for all the English reader. Hehe..

Legumes Roti ordered by me

Well...my dish is grilled goat cheese served with roast vegetables in a light tomatoes sauce. It's nice! However, we both prefer the dish that CJ had. It is soooooooooo yummy!

It's so nice to be able to enjoy different types of cuisine and it's gonna be one of our motivations to work hard here!!

A very delightful evening!

ps: Thanks MK for being such a great company today although we did some stupid postures while taking pictures. I think i should definitely have fun with you when i am down. :)

ps: CJ, i hope you are feeling all right. If you need our ears to listen to your troubles.,MK and i will be here! Hopefully, we didn't do anything to upset you! Cheer up!

To Gu Gu Fei Yong:

I know you feel disheartened sometimes either in relationships or your future. Don't be afraid to battle as you are a strong-willed girl who is full of spirit. You are a very unique yet lovely person. It's definitely a great lost to...definitely and absolutely.

He will be here soon. You got to believe...

I wanna believe

Boxing day is shopping day.

Three of us joined one of the biggest shopping events in London. As you can imagine, there were hive of shoppers in Oxford street. We were very frustrated either in the shops or on the street as it was damn crowded!

Oh well..MK and i both wore our newly clothes and boots today. We ever took the pictures in the tube station just to show off. Hehe...Do we look like professional models? No further comment is required. Thank you!



I bought a new leather jacket. Here's the lovely picture of me. Kindly ignore the background behind. I think it's just a passer-by A. Hehe..Am i looking good?

Thanks CJ and MK for being such a good company today.

I wanna believe i can still smile when heart is bleeding,

I wanna believe i can still love when heart was broken,

I wanna believe what i am believing,

I wanna believe you will be here soon.

ps: I thought you would be different, but you are not. No matter what the reasons are, it's over...

My first rainy Christmas in London

A rainy Christmas day. Three of us celebrated Christmas with our housemates. It's a good experience to mingle with them. Oh yeah, most of our housemates come from Australia. Typical Aussies...

The Christmas lunch consisted of Turkey meat, salad and baked potatoes + carrot! Well..a very typical Western meal but it's nice though!

We were home for the whole day as there were no public transport on Christmas day!

We had our late Christmas dinner at 10pm.


It was lamb chop, broccoli and pan-fried mushroom. I would say our Christmas dinner is much more yummy than the Christmas lunch prepared by our housemates! Hehe...Oh... thanks for MK for preparing such a delicious meal for us.

Dessert was caramel creme bought from Asda. Yummmmmmy!!!


We set up MK at 12am as it's her birthday!!! She was very exhilarated as her dearest Buri gave her a very sweet surprise. You can really see her contentment by looking at the picture. Wow...Gu Gu Fei Yong was so envious! How i wish i was pampered and showered with such an unconditional love.



Long distance relationship is tough, it can be surmounted if two hearts have a deep affinity.

Christmas Eve

Three of us counting down to Christmas! We were supposed to count down with our housemates. However, they seemed to count down in their own rooms. Well...

This is the Christsmas tree in our house.


Three of us besides the Christmas tree.

Beer that we drank. It seems like Kok Family loves Heineken. Hehe...

Cheap snacks that we ate.



Alien fingers! Don't doubt, it's my finger. I would appreciate if no comment is made for this picture!


Merry Christmas!

A boring count down! However, we were having fun!!!

Happiness is having fun with your mates and laugh at each other cheerfully.

ps:Happy birthday CJ, hope you get well soon...

A misty Sunday and an unsettled heart

A misty Sunday.






Bought a pair of boots again from Primark. I think i am obsessing with boots now.




Misty Sunday, gloomy Fei Yong and an unsettled heart. I need the courage to love and be loved. However, it brings only disillusion.

Love makes you weep in an endless night and scars a bleeding heart.

Roots

We went to Oriental City as MK was gonna treat us for dinner!! It was a cold and freezing evening. However, we will grit our teeth and bear with the coldness just for the free dinner!!!

Oriental City is a place where you can find authentic Asian food and stuff. It's like a chinatown.

Let me introduce the pretty gal that bought us the dinner tonight.

Our boss tonight_Mei Kuan

The food that we ordered.

Kim chi fried rice and Japanese bento + soya bean milk

*Mum, i miss your home-made soya bean milk...

We were so satisfied after finishing the sumptuous meal. Thanks the generosity of MK. Loveeeeeee ya!!! Give you a big kiss and hug!!!

Today is also winter solstice in lunar calendar. The significance of winter solstice for Chinese is the reunion of the fanily members and the commemoration of the deceased. It's also a tradition to eat glutinuous rice balls. Here are the glutinuous rice balls that we bought from Oriental City.

Glutinuous rice balls

There were two types of rice balls in this bowl, red bean and sesame. It's sooooo delicious!!! I wish we had bought more!!

My thinking and my actions seem to be open minded to you. However, i am still a traditional oriental gal deep down. No matter who you are, what you do and where you are, don't ever forget your roots! It's the origin to prove that where you belong.

Don't ever forget and don't ever get lost...

Dilemma

I attended a job interview this morning! It's a job recommended from another agent. If i can get this job, life will be much more easier! As my commute to work will be reduced substantially.

The interview went well and i really hope the feedback is positive.

I was kind of exhausted when i reached home. Well...i received a call from my agent again asking me if i have singed the contract. To be frank, i am not ready to sign as the outcome of this morning interview is unknown. The agent was kind of annoying as he kept pushing me to sign the contract by saying nuisance, such as the company needs the contract before Christmas in order to get the procedures done. I was in a dilemma as if the contract is signed, i am legally bound and what if i get the job offer from the interview that i attended? My mind went blank and i was utterly confused. Finally, i made a decision! Not to sign the contract today until the outcome of this morning interview is known! I am gonna ditch the agent today!

Needless to say, the agent kept calling again for several times and i finally answered the phone by telling him that i had posted the contract! Guess what? The agent said it is ok as long as i had the contract posted today! Apparently, he made up the story by telling me all the stupid things!!! Damn it!!

I received a call from the agent who arranged the interview this morning! Actually, i was expecting a positive feedback but it turned out to be negative! I was quite satisfied with my performance. I think it's because of a minor mistake that i made. I was disillusioned as it bursted my bubble of getting a job in central London. Meaning to say, i need to wake up early in the morning, ie 6am, to commute in this bloody weather! Oh my god! I am gonna pass out now! Don't want to think about it now!

Cold weather, freezing temperature, sleepy and miserable Gu Gu Fei Yong. I can imagine how my life is gonna be in the next few months.

ps: MK got her pay today. I look forward to the dinner that she promises to buy us tomorrow! Wow!!!

ps: Special thanks to Wayne who gave me a good of piece of advice when i was in a dilemma. I should buy you a meal when i get my pay.

Guys are bastard!

Guys are bastard.

This claim excludes my father, cousins brother and other males who i think do not fall into this category. The remainings are definitely asshole and bastard. Don't ask me why as you deserve such a claim.

Thank you!

When we were together...

当我们同在一起,
在一起,在一起,
当我们同在一起,
其快乐无比,
你对着我笑嘻嘻,
我对着你笑哈哈,
当我们同在一起,
其快乐无比。

When we were together,
We were so cheerful,
You smiled at me, I grinned at you,
When we were together,
We were so cheerful.

Confrontation and doubts,
Sadness and remorse,
The fact remains,
Same blood, same bond.


ps: To MM

I had a great evening with you despite the lousy movie and industrious cops. Thanks for blushing, as it proved my charm once again! Well...you can take it as a revenge on your merciless tease :)

It is truely enjoyable and sweet, if you know what i meant (",)

.............................................

I don't want to think as i don't want to know,
I don't want to know as i dont' want to care,
I don't want to care as i can't be bothered,
I can't be bothered as it's your business.

C'est la vie

Ne laisse pas le temps te décevoir
ll ne peut être conquis
Dans la tristesse dans la douleur
Aujourd'hui, demain
Au fil du temps Le temps C'est La Vie

Don't be thwarted of time, as it can never be conquered
Regardless of melancholy and poignancy
Today, tomorrow and year after year
Time marches on and that's life

别因为时间而感到沮丧 它是永远无法被征服的
不管是在悲伤里 在痛苦中
今天 明天 年复一年
时间它头也不回地往前走 它就是人生

My best friend is Victoria's Secret

A laid back afternoon.

I watched Victoria's Secret Show 2007 this afternoon and the show was absolutely spectacular!!! Watching the gorgeous models with revealing lingerie really made my blood boil!!! Oh my god!!! The models are just sooooooooo hot!!!!

Don't get me wrong. Gu Gu Fei Yong is definitely a heterosexual. I just couldn't take my eyes off of beautiful things! Hehe..

It's one of my fancies to buy a Victoria's Secret undergarment. I am so attracted to the sexy little cloth. I think Victoria's Secret is gonna be my best friend soon and i will definitely show your one day!

I want to look good for your exclusive attention...

Harrods and snow

We went to Harrods, London most premier and lavish retail outlet, this evening.


Outlook of Harrods_taken from http://www.harrods.com/



Interior of Harrods_taken by CJ



Outlook of Harrods

You can find all the luxurious items there such as LV, Gucci, DKNY, Marc Jacobs and etc. You name it, they have it!!!


Chanel in Harrods_taken by CJ


Dior in Harrods_taken by CJ


Gucci in Harrods_taken by CJ

The retail outlet is a splendid building and the interior design is marvellous! Ah...i wish i had the money to buy the dress, shoes, lingerie in this store! It's just so tempting!! I hardly took my eyes off from the gorgeous dresses and stilettos! :(

The washroom in Harrods is worth mentioning! It's not the interior design that caught my attention but the perfumes displayed. There are more than 7 types of branded perfumes displayed in the bathroom for toilet users who need a touch up. Isn't that cool?

We stepped out from Harrods after half an hours window shopping. I looked at the sky, a posture that Gu Gu Fei Yong loves to do, i saw snow!!!!!! Oh my god!!!! I can't believe that it's snowing!!!!





After being exhilarated for few minutes, we realized that it wasn't snow. It's kind of foam not snow!!! I think it's a gimmick of Harrods in catering for the festive season. Ah...so disappointed. I thought i would witness the first snow in London.

Cheer up Fei Yong, you'll get to see snow soon!

ps: Met a friend, Mark, a London born, Egyptian guy. He is a chatty lad with a bright smile! He definitely put a big smile on my face during our conversation.

ps: I was bitten by bed bug again!!! The spots are getting severe and swollen than ever! Oh my god, my beautiful leg is gonna be scarred! I hate you bed bug!!!!!

Who can cure my cough and sprained ribs?

I feel extremely unwell. My cough keeps haunting me and i sprained my ribs when i was practising yoga. Whenever i cough and laugh the chest muscles expand the rib cage which cause a sharp pain! The worst part is, i kept coughing today which constantly cause the unbearable pain. Ahhh........................

When can i get well? I miss the noisy and lively Gu Gu Fei Yong!


Sick Gu Gu Fei Yong

ps: I had a good time in take away restaurant tonight although i was unwell. I can't describe to you how enjoyable i am working there. The boss cooked a stir fried chicken with courgette and rice for me as my dinner and it is yummy!!! Both of us enjoy the meal so much!! Thank you Terry!

Steamed chicken and greens + ABC soup

Okie...today's blog is regarding the yummy dishes that i cooked tonight!

The dinner consists of steamed chicken, greens, ABC soup + sauce for the chicken.

For anyone who wonder what ABC soup is, let me enlighten you! The ingredients of the soup are tomotoes, carrot, potatoes and onion. Since the mentioned ingredients are rich of vitamin A, B and C, we call this soup as ABC soup. Hmm..i think it's malaysian kind of saying!

The black sauce as showned in the picture consists of soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, spring onion and garlic. It's a dipping sauce for the steamed chicken.

Fei Yong's yummy dishes

Are you guys drooling now?? Can't you imagine a pretty and sweet gal like me is a good cook huh? I strongly think that my future husband is gonna be the luckiest guy in the world! With such a gorgeous and elegant wife who is always a good cook, what would you ask for more??? I am so carried away now!

Ciao~~~

My grandmum

I rang my grandmum today as i haven't called her since i came here. We didn't talk much and she asked me to go back to Malaysia. Well...i think she just misses me.

My sister and i were brought up by my grandmum and we are very close to her! She's was very strict to us when we were small kids. Hence, i was a very obedient child compare to others.

Time passes in the blink of an eye. Only nostalgia is left.

Grandmum, please stay healthy and well as i want you to witness my achievements.


My dearest grandmum and cousins

ps: My insincere net friend asked me to meet for a lunch at my place. Oh well..i think he just wanted to kill his time by seeking my company. Surely, we didn't meet up as i hate last minutes call and i also doubt his seriousness in meeting me! I also don't think it's a good idea to meet him at my place. What do you think?

Job vs cheese cake + pancake

Job
A happy day for Gu Gu Fei Yong as i got a job offer! My feeling was indesribable, a mixture of relief, security and joyfulness.

It's not the company that i yearn for but it is a stepping stone to a more lucrative career. My ultimate goal is to gain an entry in one of the prestigious audit firm. Keep battling Gu Gu Fei Yong, you will attain your goals eventually! You can definitely shine in London!!!

Cheesecake + pancake

MK and i had been craving for cheescake for the past two days and it was today that we put our desire into action.

Three of us, CJ, MK and me, with our ugly, funny pyjamas and sweater, bore with the freezing temperatures, went to Sainsbury just to get some cheesecake and pancake. Sounds crazy huh? Yes it is!! However, this is the only time we can be crazy and wild. Life is that simple, have fun, be wild and enjoy! Why do we need to restrict ourselves just to satisfy others expectations?

Life begets life. Energy creates energy. It is by spending oneself that one becomes rich_by Sarah Bernhardt



The yummy cheesecake and pancake that lured our adventure

ps: The pancake and cheesecake costed only 32 and 97 pence. Cheap huh?

Boring Sunday

A boring yet relaxing Sunday. Staying in my cosy little room with the company of my cousin is truely enjoyable.

I cooked tomatoes chicken tonight and it is yummy!!! I am a good cook!!!

Relaxed Sunday, rainy Sunday and pretty Fei Yong. What a good combination.

Hello Kok Family

Only MK and i stayed in the room as CJ was out since he had a friend coming to London.
It's a wet and gloomy day as rains came again. I was supposed to met a friend but decided not to as i hate going out in a rainy day and also the fact that i was still ill from my cough.

There was a gathering in cousin sister Fong's place in Malaysia. Hence, my uncles and aunties were there for dinner. We had a webcaming session with them as our loving relatives are so keen to know our condition here. My aunties even asked us to go back rather than surffering in London. Hmm..actually, i don't really suffer here and i quite love the life now. Hehe...i think the elders are just being caring.

I feel proud to be born in Kok family. Although our family is neither prestigious nor rich but this family is rich of love, caring, joy and fun! Let me tell you a secret, most of our family members are good drinkers. We are very excited and crazy when we drink! Hehe...If you wanna go after me, you better are a good drinker :)

Proud to be asian, proud to be chinese and proud to be Kok!! Our blood relations bind us, our unity even bond us.

Cheers for Kok Family.

My loving Kok Family with a drink on hand

pS: Today marks the official 2 months of our arrival in London. I am happy with this decision to come here as no matter what happens, i have Kok Family to back me up!
