The OX has taken over!

Happy Chinese New Year people!!

Its my second CNY here in the UK.
Its pretty much the same as last year.
Same as in, BOoooOOORrrrrRRING!!!!
Like, who the heck attend classes on CNY right?? *sigh*

I had steamboat with Jme last night for our "reunion" dinner.
2 boring people stuck together in Norwich.
That sounded so sad man. :(

Anway, back to happy topic.
Its 10 more mins to my birthday!!
MY "21st" BIRTHDAY!! ;p

I just got back from dinner with my coursemates where they cooked thai food for me.
I am so full right now that i have difficulty in breathing. =="
But the food was good especially the Tomyam Kung!! *slurrrppp*


Thanks guys!!

Then i'll be having another dinner tomorrow with my flatmates and Jme.
It'll be chinese food this time. lol!
I am so glad that i have people to celebrate my birthday with instead of being alone like last year.

Oh yea, i can finally post up the pressies from my besties!
Its a set of pyjamas and a cardigan instead of food.


Thanks guys!!
I. Heart. U. All.

I'm gonna wear the pyjama top today since its CNY.
The bottom and cardigan sudah pakai long time ago. HAHA.

I hope my luck will be better this year.
I wonder if you guys still remember my series of unfortunate event last year.
It should be good this time since its new year and all.
New Year + Birthday = BEST OF LUCK!!!! *standing ovation*
Ok. Lame. I know. T________T

Oh boy, look at the time.
Its my birthday already.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!
*birthday song playing in the head. wtf.*
May all my wishes come true!!

Craving!!

The one question that i ask myself everyday without fail is,
"What should i cook for tonight's dinner?"

I dreaded for dinner to come 'cos it just mean that i have to think of what i wanted to cook.
I cook my own dinner most of the time to save *cough*money*cough*, of course.
And i am so sick and tired that i always cook the same dish 'cos i don't know what else to cook.
Ok, fine.
I don't know how to cook.
No, i should say i don't have the initiative to learn.

My mum always, ALWAYS asked me to learn cooking from her so i layaned her but never remember. *coughcoughcoughcough*
And when u live in a city where there are like, food everywhere, u just don't feel like cooking by yourself.
So after coming here, i have no choice but to do it. *sigh*

I was craving for some mee hoon kueh (flour cake soup/flat wheat dough in soup wtf. i didn't translate this myself, its from google. *innocent*)
I tried to remember how my mum cooked it and searched for the recipe online as well.

Had some problems when i was kneading the dough but managed to solve it with the help of a flatmate.
Pour in too much water into the dough.
Mistakes on first attempt are always forgivable.

And here is my dinner!!
TADAA!!!!!



Looks good, right?
It taste good as well!! Well, not as delicious as my mum's but STILL GOOD.
Macam cooked by some chef. HAHAHAHA
Luckily, i still have some ikan bilis left 'cos it won't be complete without it.

I'll definitely try to cook some other dish next time.
Maybe i'll be Chef Wen in no time!!
Maybe, just maybe. *wink*

Happiness is when...

...you find smth that you like during sale and its your size!!

I got myself a new pair of boots from topshop for a really cheap price.
Aahhh..
I. HEART. SALES!!

I just broke my resolutions no.5. T_____T
But i think its forgivable because its CNY next week.
We are suppose to get new clothes for the new year so this is consider my cny shopping.
Since my mum expects me to shop, i cant disappoint her, can i??

And i cut my hair already!
Its not really short, just slightly longer than shoulder length.
I tried taking pictures to show but i look really bad in pictures nowadays.
I'll post some up when i have some good photos.

On a total unrelated note to the above, i found this.



This is so freaking nice, isnt it?!
I mean, the monogram one is nice but this, THIS is so much nicer!
It looks different.
I cant explain well.
I wonder when UK will have it 'cos i went to the boutique last month and the SA told me they dont have it yet but some asian countries have though. wtf?!

But that was last month, i found this few days ago and im in love!


Mulberry Bayswater.
Its nice, right?!
A practical and wont go out-of-style bag.
Worth investing.

So, resolutions no.4 must be kept at all cost!!!

Should I??

I plan to trim my hair this coming weekend.
Its expensive i know but with split ends all over, i cant take it anymore.
If i dont cut it now, it'll become worse.

The thing is im thinking of cutting it short instead of trimming.
But i dont know if i should.

I mean i wanna let it grow longer 'cos i miss my long hair.


but sometimes i miss my short hair too.


I wont be going for such a short length or bob (doesnt suit me) again, of course.
I want smth like this.


Anne Hathaway


Nicole Richie


Elva Hsiao

The thing which i worry the most and has always been the problem is that my hair is too fine and thin. So i cant have those effect after i cut it and that was why my bob failed back then.
Im in dilemma now.

So, should i or shouldn't i?

New Year's Resolutions

Ok, i'd never written down any new year's resolutions 'cos i know i can never keep them.
But im going to do it this time so that i can check whether i manage to keep it or not next year.

Resolutions:-

1. STOP PROCRASTINATING!!
this was like on top of my list every damn year and the fact that its still here just goes to prove that i never keep it. *sigh* why am i like that? -_-

2. Work harder! in every area especially on studies! 'nuff said.

3. Stop being lazy.
do some exercise (tummy, tummy, go away!).
keep my clinique 3-steps regime everyday.
apply the damn lotion every night! (my skin is so damn dry right now)

4. SAVE UP!
planning to explore other parts of europe after my course and if im lucky, i can get a new bag! ;)

5. Spend at most £150/mth
this is the continuation of no.4. i have to cut down on all those excessive shopping.
but like rev said there's always the INTERNET! *sigh*
control, wendy. control.
(i actually failed this already but hey,i just make this list today so the few days before this are not calculated. )

6. Explore more of UK
its my final year here. the possibility of coming back here is very low.
it wont be the same coming here as tourist and as a student.

I guess thats all the important ones.
I really, REALLY hope that i can keep this.
*fingers crossed*

Red Bull is BULL!

i was having exams for the past few days and the night before my last paper, i took a can of redbull.
i was really tired so i thought it will, u know, makes me feel energize!
oh boy, how wrong was i...T____T

i started to feel weird after an hour.
then my hands starts shaking and felt really cold.
heart was pumping fast. head felt like there were millions of star in it.
and i start sweating. wtf?!

then i remembered.
those are the symptoms of having TOO MUCH CAFFEINE!
i checked the description of the can and it wrote - HIGH CAFFEINE CONTENT!
urgghh...

i dont drink coffee so i never knew that i have such a low tolerance for caffeine.
and it has to be on the day of my exam.
i cant really concentrate on my paper.
finish 2 questions and i cant take it anymore so i just scribbled the last answer.
my knees almost gave out on me when i was going up the stairs.

i cant sleep even though i was really tired.
damn....
i will never EVER take redbull again!
but i guess i can always tell ppl -
that was the day when wendy got high on caffeine!
wtf..==

p/s: i am now officially a fan of TWILIGHT! i finally get why ppl are crazy bout that movie especially EDWARD CULLEN! *drool*

So, its 2009 already?!

Its that time of the year again.

Parties.
Countdowns.
Fireworks.
Auld Lang Syne being played, bidding the year goodbye and usher in the New Year.

I was in London this time last year.



I wouldn't say it was a good experience 'cause it was too crowded.
The underground around London Eye was closed 1 or 2 hour before the countdown and only reopened around 1 or 2am (i forgot).
It took me a long time just to get back to my hostel.
The worst thing was, the fireworks weren't that spectacular either.
And maybe i was too far away from London Eye, the atmosphere wasn't that great too.

I expect that people will cheer and wishes people around them "HAPPY NEW YEAR!".
I mean, that's what people normally do and what i did back home.
But i got nothing.
Everyone just stand and watch the fireworks.

Maybe if i was standing nearer to the Eye, it will be better but who knows.
I don't even feel like going there again this year.
Well, i never like crowded places to begin with. *shrug*

So i am now welcoming 2009 in my room while updating my blog.
I.Should.Just.Go.And.Get.A.Life! *sigh*
My life is so pathetic that even i pity myself. *indulged in self-pity*

Ok, enough of self-pity.
What was i saying again?
Ohya, time passes by so fast that its freaking scary.
2008 is over just like that.

My 2008 was not a great one but it wasn't that bad either.
Lots of things had happened.

I had my share of ups --

Visited lots of places in the Europe.
Made new friends.
Experience the student life in UK.

and downs --

Lost someone who is very dear and precious to me.
Someone whom i love and respect alot.
It still saddens me when i think about it.


Anyway, lets all hope that this year will be much better than last.
HAPPY NEW YEAR people!
