Love and marriage

A sunny morning! Well..my throat was still sore, i guess it really takes sometime to get well.

A slow and easy start for a day!

I finally got to sort out the money transfer problem of RHB! It will alleviate my financial problem for a while. Thanks to the RHB phone operators!!

My cousin brother Grant is gonna get married next year in November. I were caught up in a whirling vortex of emotion. A mixture emotions of happiness and sadness, ie happy for his love fulfillment, sad for losing him as fei yong's exclusive big brother! Oh...i know i am kind of silly at the moment! Nonetheless, i will still send you my warmest regards! I definitely will attend your wedding!

What is marriage? A legally binding contract? A prove of eternity love? A next logical step after several years of dating? I really have no answer. For me, marriage seems so distant. Not to mention the right person is yet to come, but also the degree of faithfulness i have in marriage.

I want to emphasize that i am not from a broken family. Instead, i have a loving parents and a lovely sister. Why am i so sceptical about marriage? Perhaps it's the ubiquity of divorce nowadays.

I,take you, to be my wife/husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part. From the moment you say i do, you are bound by a vow. However, how many of us can deliver such a promise? Sigh...It seems grey but this is truely how i feel lately.

Love is complicated and when you get emotionally involved, it's gonna be miserable...Perhaps, we just remember the memories that make us smile and forget the memories that make us weep.

You are not the one for me, but i am glad that you ever held my hand and be part of my life before! Thank you!

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it's happened...

Just an ordinary day...

My migrain was gone but my throat was terribly dry still. Ah... Gu Gu Fei Yong was still sick..

It was an ordinary day, nothing special happened! I did my laundry, surfed net, prepared dinner, wrote my blog and went to sleep. Sound so boring huh? It seemed to be but i was relaxed! If compare to my life now with my life in Malaysia as an external auditor, it is deemed a vacation to restore my energy and enthusiasm. At least, i have ample time to admire the beauty of this nature! Perhaps, the ordinary life is the most easiest life to seek happiness and peacefulness.

So what life do you yearn for? I just yearn for my life to be filled with joyfulness and serenity which make no tears, pain and grief. Is it possible? I doubt so...

I cooked braised potatoes chicken tonight and it was yummy!! Oops, i didn't take the picture to tempt you guys! Hehe..

Sick...

After few days of staying up till late night and the exposure to cold weather on Monday, i was sick. My throat was terribly sore! I think my body was making its complaints.

I started my day slowly! It really made my day after a video call on MSN with my dearest friend, Tania. It's sooooo good to hear her voice! Ah...i miss you guys dearly!

I met a net friend for movie. The movie we watched was Beowolf. This movie is not as good as i expected. I am not sure if it is because the company was not right or the movie itself is not spectacular enough to make me engrossed! Nonetheless, this was my first time watching movie in London and i am truely grateful to the net friend for buying me the movie! However, i don't think i am gonna meet him again as we don't seem to click.

My condition was deteriorating. My throat was unbearably sore and my head was spinning! I hope i could get well soon, i hate the weak Fei Yong!

MK, thanks for making me the chinese herbal tea. Your thoughtfulness really warmed my heart. Love ya...

On the tube to meet the net friend, an indian guy asked for my mobile phone number. Well...a piece of evidence to prove my gorgeousness and prettyness! Haha...i am a bit carried away now...


Tuesday 27 November 2007

A very tired morning! I slept at 3am this morning! What the hell was i doing? Writing blog~~~

I was in a rush this morning as the worker from Pest Control Company came 30 minutes ealier!
I was making up at that time!!! Hence, i didn't even get to have my breakfast? Gu Gu Fei Yong can be very grumpy in two scenarios, either she is hungry or tired! So, i was sooooooooooo grumpy! I didn't smile as lovely as i used to be when i left the house.

Arrived at Green Park tube station. I was starving!!! Luckily, there is a Mark & Spencer opposite the tube station and i decided to grab some food! Here are the bread that i bought.

Bagel and blueberry muffin

I had my breakfast in Green Park. It is such a joy to have meal in this beautiful park! The serenity of the park is such a solace to me! Pictures of Green Park are as follows.




I went to Buckingham Palace afterwards and the pictures are attached as follows.


The outlook of Buckingham Palace

Queen's Memorial Statue



It's a shame that there wasn't any guard changing service today. Otherwise, i would have witnessed the grandness of the service.

Buckingham Palance is the place where Princess Diana ever resided and this is also the place which imprisoned her happiness. When she was able to escape and pursue her own happiness, her life is taken cruelly and mercilessly. Nonetheless, her courage and determination in being herself always remain in my heart! Princess Diana, may you rest in peace.

My next destination was Hyde Park. On the way to Hyde Park, i shot some pictures.


I think these two pictures are to commemorate the soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the war. A salute from Fei Yong!

Hyde Park is absolutely a place for you to seek serenity and tranquility.


The lake side in Hyde Park really took my breath away!


Walking in a beautiful park really soothed my soul. Watching dog swimming in the lake and a young lady teasing a bird did put a grin on my face. Life can be that easy huh?

Put aside your troubles and seek for transitory tranquility. Once you have found the serenity, it's time to bounce back and face the predicament.

ps: I expected our room was in a mess after the fumigation. However, it was clean and my bed was swapped with CJ's which make the room slightly spacious. Thanks the cleaners for doing that and it meant a lot to three of us! Thank you!

Sunday 25 November 2007

Washing, drying, washing, drying...

Today was such a boring day! We were supposed to accompany CJ to do his shopping in Oxford Circus. However, our plan came to a halt because of stupid bed bugs and stupid landlord. Yeah, you are right, we were attacked by bed bugs and three of us were bitten severely by the f******insects few weeks ago. Our room was fumigated before but it seems the fumigation was not effective AT ALL!

Hence, our 'nice' landlord engages a Pest Control Company to fumigate the whole house on Monday Morning. Before the fumigation, we needed to wash all the linen, mattress protector and our clothes. So our precious time were wasted on washing and drying the clothes!

We have two washing machines and one drier in the house for the usage of 12-13 people. You can imagine how long it takes to do the laundry! We need to be effective and efficient in estimating the best time to put our clothes in the washing machine and the drier! We went up and down for more than 1o times a day! Bloody hell! I was very pissed for doing all the stupid things just because the house is not clean!

A warning to you guys! If you or your friends come to London, NEVER EVER stay under 'Accommodation London'. Well...if you like to sleep with bed bugs, there's another story! Please bear in mind guys!

I really hope the fumigation tomorrow can get rid of the bed bugs FOREVER! Well...at least for six months! I don't want to be bitten again! It's such a nightmare!

Annoying day!

Emotions were running high...

I try to make my stories today simple and concise.

This morning i was sentimental as the gloomy weather made me felt so and the fact that i am still jobless!!! Ah!!!!!

*Thanks MK for giving me a warm hug. I knew i behaved like a little gal who demanded attention this morning!

CJ got his salary and he wanted to treat us! Wow..we were very excited about it! Initially, he planned to take us to a western restaurant in Covent Garden but there were heaps of diners and we needed to wait for 40 minutes to be served! Well...we succumbed to our hunger and decided to go to China town. I took some pictures in Covent Garden Market as the Christmas decorations are lovely.

Shot in Covent Garden Market_2


On the way to China Town, i noticed something amusing. Take a look of the picture.



Do you know what it is? It's actually a public toilet for male! Wow..it is just located at the street, and guys, if you wanna go to the Gents. Try this! It's cool. There's a black using the Gents when i took this picture, obviusly he's in there. He yelled at us as he thought we were shooting him! I apologized and he seemed excited when he saw me. He even pointed his hand to his lower part with a disgusting smile. Well...i think you know what i meant right? F*** off! What a disgusting black

We witnessed a huge crowd of people protesting on the street and it's about ' Stop violence against women' What i found amusing is, there were cops escorting the crowd!! Can you imagine? It will NEVER EVER happen in Malaysia. You will be put into jail if you do that.Take a look of the video clip.



Huge crowd protesting near Leicester Square

After wandering in China Town, we decided to have our dinner in the same old place, Wong Kei. I think this should be the cheapest restaurant in China Town that we can afford!


The outlook of Wong Kei

Well...let me show you the handsome guy who bought us the dinner.

Charming CJ


And the dishes we ordered.

Sweet and sour pork rib, stir fried bean sprouts, chicken cashew nut and pork


We were so satisfied with this dinner and thanks CJ! When i got a job, i definitely will treat you guys for something better!

We went back home happily with the sense of satisfaction.

MK was obsessed about self shooting tonight and i guess it's because of Gu Gu Fei Yong! Take a look of our picture.



Ugly and mischievous us


Pretty and gorgeous us


My self-shot pictures.Hehe..







My emotions were running high today. Loneliness and joblessness kept crossing my minds! Is it that tough to get a decent job here? I am sick of agent telling me that ' You can definitely get a job, due to your previous experience and bla bla bla' If this is the case, why am i still remained unemployed at the moment? It must be something wrong! Sigh...i don't want to sound pessimistics but i just want to give full vent to my feelings in a violent outburst!!! Just let me scream...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Love relationships are transitory. Don't ever tell someone you'll love them forever as you'll never know! Time will change a person either physically or mentally...how can you know your love can come to an eternity?

Perhaps, pursuing happiness at the moment is the wisest choice. However, don't ever lose your heart in the middle of pursuing happiness! Once your heart is given, it will be exposed to endless misery. Be only the keeper of your heart!

Gu Gu Fei Yong sounds pretty disillusioned with love huh? Perhaps, she should be a londoner, having fun of love and hidding it her heart...

Loneliness...

I had an interview with a recruitment agency at 12pm today. Hence, i woke up early in the morning and got myself well prepared. Guess what? I put on my newly bought high heel shoes! I looked good! However, the shoes were too high and i was in a hurry...so you can imagine what the situation was...:(


My interview was at Blackfairs, a place where Millenium Bridge is located. Well..i am gonna take the pictures once my interview is over. This morning was freakingly cold and i felt like dying! Nevermind, keep walking Gu Gu Fei Yong, the coldness is not gonna bring down your spirit!


My interview lasted for an hour, and the agent told me that my chance of getting a job here is high due to my experience with one of the Big 4 before. However, i doubt it. If this is the case, why am i still sitting here? Sigh...maybe i don't have any luck here. ><


After my interview, i went to shoot some pictures.

Millenium Bridge

St Pauls Cathedral-shoot at Millenium Bridge


St Pauls Cathedral-a closer look

Millenium bridge area is a good place to hang out if you love riverside. However, i didn't go down to the riverside as my feet were sore and the weather is cold. The sightseeing lasted for 20 minutes.

I finally got back home! My feet were really sore! Well...you deserved it Fei Yong! Who asked you to wear this shoes when you knew that you needed to do some walking? No complaint ok?


After resting a while, i caught a tube to Hyde Park. However, i arrived there at 4:45pm and again, darkness fell. There's nothing i could do as it was too dark and i couldn't find the exact location of Hyde Park! I wandered aimlessly for a while after taking a picture.

Don't ask me the name of this building as i have no clue at all!

Not to go back home just like that, i decided to go to Green Park, a place where Buckingham Palace is located.


After stepping out from Green Park tube station, i was amazed by the magnificence of Ritz Hotel.

The outlook of Ritz Hotel

The grandness and magnificence of this hotel is indescribable! I wonder if i ever get the chance to stay in this hotel. Dream on Gu Gu Fei Yong!


Buckingham Palace is located at inner Green Park and i didn't get to see the palace as it was so cold. Hence, my attempt to witness the renowned palace was in vain. Sigh..


During my short trip to Hyde Park and Green Park, loneliness started creeping in. I was overwhelmed and sentimental. In order not to let loneliness cast a shadow on my heart, i gave a call and text to friends. However, they were not available. I was disillusioned. With disappointement and loneliness, i caught the tube and went back home.


A lonely and sentimental night...

I love Primark

Good Morning!! After several gloomy days, i finally got to see the lovely sun!! I realize how importance the sunshine is, it brings you energy, warmth and enthusiasm! To be honest, i never appreciate sunshine back home. I always found the heat was unbearable! However, it really warms my heart whenever the day is sunny! So you can imagine how weather can affect one's emotion.

I plan to go to Hyde Park today. However, i kept receiving calls from agents and when i could finally step out of the room was already 4:30pm. I guess it's too late to have a walk in the park especially in autumn when darkness falls faster than normal day. So i decided to go to Primark to buy shoes.

I want to tell you guys how much i love Primark. The clothes and shoes here are damn cheap. Not to mention the colourful and sexy lingerie! Well...i will post the window displays pictures of the lingerie later on.

I bought two pair of shoes. One is high heel shoes and another one is boots! It costs 6 pounds and 8 pounds for the shoes respectively. Cheap huh?








What do you guys think about my shoes? Well...two pairs of cheap shoes. So don't expect too much ok? But, i particularly love the boots, i look cool when i wear that...:)

That's all for the story today. I was very happy and satisfied although i am still jobless. I just don't want to think about that as long as i was happy and contended at that moment.

Leave all the troubles behind and cheer youself up! You only live once....

Wednesday 21 November 2007

Frustrated but persistent...

This morning was pretty frustrasted! When i checked my mailbox reading the rejected email from recruitment agent, my heart was chilled! Sigh...it seems that my experience over these few years is not rich enough to meet market's requirements! Perhaps, the lack of UK working experience is the major hindrance to get a job here!

Starting from the beginning is always tough! We are bound to face difficulties, frustration and setback. Needless to say, negative feelings such as depression, homesickness and loneliness start creeping in if one's emotions are not handled well. Hence, how do i feel now? I was worried, panicked and upset this evening but after thinking carefully, i realize that it's definitely not the end of my life here!! Absolutely not! It's a slow and lengthy process in getting the right job and it really tests my patience, persistence and emotions. However, I have faith in myself! I am not the most outstanding one, but i am definitely not the worst one. I just need a little more patience and time.

I will stumble and stagger along the journey and when i do, just shower me with your love and i will bounce back and continue my journey...

Remember to smile, no matter how busy you are...

I woke up early in the morning for an appointment with the recruitment agent which was scheduled at 9am. As you can imagine, how tired i was. Luckily, this morning was not that cold and i was able to locate the office.

The meeting with the agents was great and i got to meet with more than one agent. It seemed that i can get a job easily. Well...Fei Yong, just be neutral just in case they can't find you any job, Right..be reserved!!!

After the appointment, i hanged out near St Paul Cathedral. It is an ancient church. Needless to say, the magnificience of the church is imaginable. Look at the picture and you will know what i meant.





There is an admission fee to enter the church and it costs GBP9.50 per entry. Needless to say, i was not gonna pay for that! However, i was able to take a picture of the interior of the church! There were people praying inside and you can feel the holiness of the church!




After shooting this picture, i just realized no picture is allowed to be taken in this church! Oops!!


I went back home after taking few pictures.


Remember to smile, no matter how busy you are...the city is hectic and hectic lifestyle makes people forget to smile. A smile can warm and brighten up a person's day and it brings colour to a dull day. However, we tend to forget the simplest thing that a baby does all the time.


A smile make your day, a smile make you warm! Have you smiled today? Just remember that your smile might brighten up a person's day and someone might fall in love with your smile. Let's smile as what i did in this picture...don't fall in in love with my smile okie...:P


Tuesday 20 November 2007

Gloomy weather but sunny Fei Yong...

I woke up at 12pm after staying till 2:30am last night! Don't ask me why, i was just writing blog and doing other stuff.


MK and CJ had gone to work and i was home alone! No worries, Gu Gu Fei Yong will definitely spend her time meaningfully and happily.


Well...i decided to practise Yoga as i haven't done that for a while. I was not focus enough and was distracted for other things, such as sending text, answering call and etc. After one hour later, i finally got to have my breakfast! My favourite meal in a day. I made a sandwich today and here is the picture.



Gu Gu Fei Yong's brunch-sandwich

Okie..i admit that the picture of this sandwich looks yucky! But trust me , the taste of this sandwich was marvellous! There were lettuce, tomatoes, hard boiled egg and Old English Cheese inside! Ah...i missed the taste of this sandwich! I know you guys must be yawning now but just let Fei Yong to be proud of the sandwich that she made for a while. Mmm...................................... :)

After the brunch, i started my job hunting online and sent few resumes to couple of recruitment agencies. I got a call from one of the agents immediately after i had just sent the resume. The agent acted swiftly! We had a short conversation about my position before and he decided to meet me at 9am tomorrow morning! Oh my god! It's so early. I can stay up late but don't ask me to get up early. ><

After surfing net for a while and it's time to prepare dinner! Today dishes are stir fried mee hon (vermicelli) and sardine with onion. As me, CJ and MK are big eater, i decided to cook the whole pack of vermicelli that we bought from Chinatown last saturday. I faced a major problem. Our frying pan in the kitchen is not big enough to cook all the vermicelli! After having second thought, i still cooked all of it and the process of cooking was tough! I needed to stir the mee hon constantly and the pan was not big enough. As you can imagine, i made a mess on the stove.

Messy stove after the cooking


Well..who cares as long as the dishes i served tasted yummy! It was the thing that did matter to me. Have a look of my dishes.

Stir fried mee hon and sardine with onion

Don't judge the book by its cover guys! It tasted really nice! Trust me! I am an honest person, and you definitely can trust my cooking. A piece of advice to all the males who are reading this, you should cherish and love your girlfriend or wife if they know how to cook! It's not easy to cook a delicious meal, never!! The process is so lengthy! So...all the males, don't be picky and fussy when you taste the dishes that your love one cooks! You can only comment, if you know how to cook! If not, just shut up!!!

A salute to all the women who is a good cook!!! We are definitely better than men!!! Haha...

A peaceful day with music calming and warming me, which made my heart sunny!

Sunday 18 November 2007

A rainy and cloudy day...

Well...we did nothing but staying at home on Sunday! The weather was really bad, strong wind and moderate rain...if you wanna go out in such a bad weather, be prepared to get yourself frozen! So what did i do if i just stay at home? Basically, there is nothing we go do other than surfing net. Hence, you can imagine what if there is a internet connection breakdown, how miserable we can be!

Me and CJ went out to buy bread, milk and sim card! MK didn't go as she was lazy...hehe...na..she was just too weak for the cold weather! MK, don't be upset when you read this paragraph okie? :) At the time of stepping out of the house, CJ and i felt like dying! It was freakingly cold and the wind was so strong! MK, you made the right decision for not coming with us!! Carrying the tiny and fragile umbrella, we made our way to the telephone shop and Sainsbury and got all the things we needed! CJ, thanks for giving me your advice along the way and i really appreciate that! Next time, i should tell you my stories ahead of MK. Hehe...MK don't get jealous!

Ah...i was so happy that i finally got a new number! Although this is different from what i planned intitially, ie get a brand new mobile phone! It's still better than nothing! Don't feel disappointed for not getting what your want but be happy and satisfied for what you can achieve at the moment and keep marching towards your goal! Hence, Gu Gu Fei Yong, your next goal is getting a brand new Sony Ericcson K850i! Buck up!!!

It's my turn to cook dinner and the dishes on my mind were sweet and sour chicken, stir fried greens and soup. Well...the dishes were just all right as the sweet and sour chicken was not sour enough as there was not enough tomato sauce., the 白菜干(one of the dried greens for making soup) soup was not that well boiled as the 白菜was still not soft completely. Well...no worries, i will take note next time and it won't ruin my reputation as a good cook! Ah...i should take picture of the dishes that i cook next time and you guys might drool when you see that! :p

Sunday night was full of laughters and noise that were mainly made by crazy Gu Gu Fei Yong and positive responses received from CJ and MK who were willing to entertain my craziness and playfulness.

Saturday 17 November 2007

A happy and fulfilled day...

A brand new day! This morning was cloudy however if won't affect Gu Gu Fei Yong's spirit as i am such a positive gal!

We kicked off the day by visiting Regent Park. This was my second time visiting this lovely park and the scene still charmed me a lot!







Ah...Regent Park is such a romantic place. I wish i would be here with my love one..holding hand, walking side by side and admiring the beautiful scene. What would you ask for more?? Sadly, Fei Yong is still single...okie...i got a bit carried away now....

We went to a market in Camden Town, ie The Camden Market. It's a place similar to Pasar Malam in M'sia but it is open seven days a week.

It was raining and we didn't get to explore this place much. Well...i'll definitely pay a visit again to this place.

We went to Chinatown and had our dinner and yeah..the same old place, 旺记! And we ordered three plates of shredded chicken fried rice as usual! I think this should be the most delicious dish that i ever tried in this restaurant!

After our dinner, we went to have a walk around Oxford Circus doing window shopping! We went to O2, one of the mobile telecommunication companies in UK, for a look of the newly launched i phone. I phone is a combination of i pod and mobile phone and it was just launched couple of weeks ago in UK. There were so many people playing around the i phones and we finally got one to play after wandering for a while. The i phone looks like this.


It costs GBP269!! As you can imagine once this little device is launched in Malaysia, how expensive it can be! However, this i phone really caught my attention and interest! It has many fuctions such as internet surfing, photo shooting, songs downloading and etc. I can assure you when you play it on your palm, you'll definitely love it! We took a picture by this i phone and the quality of the picture is indescribably clear and vivid! Hehe...another reason is because of the two pretty gals...take a look of the pictures...


Aren't we lovely? Oh...i am in love with this picture however we didn't get to save this to our mobile phone! Well...nevermind, just let this lovely picture remain in this i phone and i might catch some people attention. Hehe...Before we left O2, we did leave this picture as a wallpaper of the phone.


I think what i forgot to do is to leave my contact number there just in case someone finds me attractive and would like to befriend me. Okie dokie..i was a bit full of myself at the moment. :)

I ended my day with laughters and satisfaction although my job is gone! Thanks MK and CJ for accompanying me today, i know you guys wanted me to leave all the disappointment behind. It's so good that you guys are with me and share my complaints and grumbles. I think you guys still need to bear with me for a while....hehe...

Happiness and fulfillment are easy to grab if you can find your own peace of mind.
