Stress levels are rising~
Tried to study in the mech eng study room but it was full. Decided to go to level 6/7 to find an empty drawing room but the 4th years were using them for their final exams. Everyone was revising n under 'hardcore' mode.
Ended hanging out with Adward n Clement until 2ish when we actually found an empty room, but were chased out soon because of some bio-engineering lecture.. read more mechatronics, but i don't get it at all! i hate electronics!
Everyone else seems to be on past papers now n i reflect on what i have done.. i haven't touched any papers yet! time for me to get working...
if only i could tell u how i feel...

EPL title race becomes interesting
A penalty was awarded against MU due to a hand-ball inside the box by Carrick.. Ballack was there to take it again n he scored.. the atmosphere in the bar went crazy after that goal.. there was this sudden surge of noises n celebration everywhere! even the bar-tender had to tell the crowd to calm down!

JOHN DYKES!
We decided to walk around leicester square after lunch.. but the group got seperated. Jas, dave n i were walking behind the rest n soon they disappeared.. but anyways, we had fun walking around.. walked from leicester square all the way to oxford street, going into random shops like ANF, YSL n River Island. Lingered around that area until around 5ish.
Made my way back to my hall.. then met nigel who asked me whether i wanted to go to gloucester arms (a bar in gloucester road) to watch the manu barca match at night..
Grabbed a quick dinner.. then off we went to Gloucester Arms at 6pm by tube. Reached the place at around 6:45pm.. it was lucky that we went there early or we wouldn't have gotten any seats. Met up with Amresh n the malaysian seniors, ZhernYong, Kok Ding n XL who saved seats for us..
Ronaldo to take the penalty.. this was the TV in the bar.
Ronaldo shot n it was a pretty bad miss.. he shot wide n it hit the post.. DESPAIR! the score was held at 0-0.. manu could have taken the lead at such an early moment of the game.. the game was dominated mainly by barca with possesion of around 65% to barca n 35% to manu.. Messi was incredible with his footwork.. i loved the way he dribbles n controls the ball.. just immaculate! Ronaldo didn't have such a good game today but thanks to Rio who did amazing defending n Van der Sar for saving those wonderful shots, the score ended as 0-0. Manu had a terrible match n Barca could have got the lead several times! i was quite surprised when Messi was substituted for Bojan though.. he was having such a good game..
Anyways, the highlight of today wasn't the dimsum or the match i watched in gloucester arms.. it was this... i saw two commentators in the bar i was in.. someone from ESPN (i watch that back in brunei!).. n to meet them in real life!!
i can't actually believe nigel n i actually went n talked to john dykes n steve mcmahon n asked them for a photo! they even told us that they will be there for the chelsea manu epl match this saturday!

Chelsea with the advantage...
Reheated the cream chicken nigel n i cooked yesterday, cooked burgers and curly fries while watching the match. Liverpool was dominating most of the match n it wasn't long before Kuyt had an opener.. thanks to Lampard who was caught in possession of the ball at the edge of the box after Terry's header. The 1st half ended with the score of 1-0 to liverpool.. not very exciting football from chelsea..
The 2nd half soon started, our dinner was done n we were gobbling it down mad.. i was dam hungry.. the play so far wasn't that threatening or exciting other than chelsea players whacking liverpool players' faces.. torres with his pretty face.. haha.. nyways, the half got more exciting after the joe cole substitution. Chelsea had a string of chances but they went to waste.. thanks again to Lampard.. there were a couple of chances here n there by both sides, but chelsea looks to be a better side as time went closer to injury time. Cech was on-form n blocking wonderful shots from gerrard n torres.. but i noticed that he seems to have a problem with corners.
Riise on the ground after his own goal
Hopefully the Manu Barca match tommorow is going to be more thrilling, with more goals!
keeping my dreams alive~

Malaysia's food-testers*
Went jogging out with nigel.. didnt have a clue where we were heading in the first place but ended up in camden town. Saw the Sainsbury there which was extremely huge, probably bigger than the one in gloucester road. Went in to look for reduced* items.. i only brough 5 pounds, so ended up only buying the reduced brocolli.
Took the over-ground from camden back to caledonian road then jogged all the way back to the hall.
One of the dishes i had for dinner...
Close up of the kuey-tiaw/ carrot cake-looking dish..
I have been eating alot quite recently.. on the way to become Malaysia's famous food-testers (inside joke).. haha

As time progresses..
i never imagined that to happen.. but i guess i was wrong. its not up till today that i have noticed how those who were close to u can be gone in a flick or change completely as a person.
its sad for me to see someone with so much hope ruin his life like this n yet i cant do anything about it. those who know what im talking about might think its a small matter.. but i guess life goes on.. time progresses.. i have to accept that fact..
alot had happened.. i cant bear to talk anymore about this.. i will cut it short here..
recalling too much of the past will not accomplish anything~

the hidden piece..
i cherish every moment we had together..
but yet, i regret that we didnt have enough.
i would like to thank u for being such a responsible n caring person..
for all the things u have done..
for all the love u have given us.
for all that, will u always be in my heart.
it has been hard for us when u left..
but we're coping n hanging on.
u will always be my role model..
n be the one i look up to.
how i wish u were here to guide me through those big steps in life..
how i wish u were here to see all that has happened..
n be part of the vision i once imagined.
now, what's left are memories..
those memories that will be kept forever,
those times when we were together.
i will make u proud..
i will follow ur steps..
may u rest in peace,
u will always be missed n loved.
there's so much more left to say..
if you were with me today face to face..

nothing special
Went gyming.. saw brandon n billy playing badminton in ethos gym against two other people.
Walked to gloucester road Sains from ethos to shop for my weekly groceries.. (weather was perfect with a beautiful sunset as i walked there). im cooking spaghetti this week. Nothing really special.. but m thinking about cooking seafood spaghetti some time before i go back to brunei.
Didn't do any work today, getting worried about the exams.. the plan is to get to work for the next few weeks until the exams.. hopefully im able to do that without much procrastination..
Just had my dinner n finish keeping the food.. im really tired now n i need my rest~ as for now, see u guys.
if only my wish came true~

Epic Battle: 2-1
the score was levelled at 1-1 until the 71th minute. It was a free-kick to man utd outside the arsenal box, with hargreaves n ronaldo to take it. Everyone was anticipating ronaldo would take but instead hargreaves turned n shot.. dipped over the wall n curled away from lehmann. What a fabulous goal! Everyone was cheering like mad by this time.. the fun is yet to come with the trickery from ronaldo. during the dying minutes of the 2nd half, ronaldo came up with his dancing skills, cross-overs n all sorts of amazing footwork! The match ended 2-1 with man utd winning. the chances arsenal will come back for the title race suddenly diminishes.
Went gymming n swimming after the match since i was already in ethos. Met brandon there n had a talk. its been a long time i talked to him.. anyways, this was what i had for dinner, hopefully a better one than i had...
Potatos n miced beef with lettuce
searching of a new hope~

Out Dining~
Worst thing that happened today was that i had stomache.. i think it must have been the food i had for lunch. even nigel had it too.. hopefully it is not the curry chicken or we might have to throw away 2 whole pots =(
Went out for dinner in china town with nigel n my malaysian friends. Had crispy duck n other sorts of chinese food! The meal was quite good compared to the food i had for lunch.. When asked what i want, all i said was as long as it's "clean", can eat already.. due to the incident i had this afternoon..
Now i am back in my boring hall again, listening to the same music.. the new album of jay chou seems to be a hit for me now with the songs 'Cai Hong' n 'Bu Gong Ying De Yue Ding'.
still waiting n wishing~

Tired~
Had lunch and watched tv. Suprisingly, my hall showed some swimming competition. i cant remember what name the competition was called but it seems to bring up memories of me swimming back in the times when i was in brunei.
Called back home today but reception using the 'pineapple card' was so bad. i couldnt hear anything my mum was telling me, but i think i got my message across. Hope all is going well in brunei. i cant wait to go back early june after my exams! it's getting closer day by day~
My day was then followed by gyming and swimming in ethos gym. Was totally drained out after all that. It's been quite a long time since i went to ethos for some exercise~ Came back to my hall at around 9ish after shopping for food in somerfield. Cooked curry chicken while having my dinner of roasted chicken which caleb marinated.
I am so worn-out right now, goodnight im going to sleep~
hoping that day will come~

Manu vs Roma- What a Bore!
Went to brian's hall located in euston to catch the manu vs roma match coz my hall doesnt show sky sports 2. Big Tv with couches lined up as if it was a cinema.. quite a decent place to watch football.. The match was bore.. nothing really happened except for the tevez header which lead to a goal and the time when Roma was awarded a penalty.. Rossi was there to take it with Van der Sar in goal, n he missed it totally.. it went way over the bar.. everyone in the room was basically gobsmacked.
As the time ticked, the match got so boring until Yheu shen snoozed off on the couch! Even the liverpool arsenal match was much better.
Another day of not touching my work at all.. i feel terrible. i should start~

Champions League~ Liverpool vs Arsenal
Had my dinner while watching the liverpool vs arsenal match.. was late for the kick-off. 40 mins of the game had already gone by n the score was 1-1.. was hoping for it to play till extra time then penalties but my hope was shattered after a torres blast inside the box at 69th minute.. i have got to say the 2nd goal by arsenal was incredible.. theo walcott running past 4 liverpool players from defence.. then crossing the ball to adebayor. Nigel n i were jumping up n down, celebrating then out of nowhere a penalty was awarded in the arsenal half. As usual, gerrard took it n scored. arsenal was demolished at the end by 4 goals to 2.
So, now for the champion league semi-finals, its going to be chelsea vs liverpool. Hopefully, i can watch the manu match tomorrow.
Catch up~
Chatted with alex on msn at around 10pm n ended having a convo through skype which ended at 2ish.. exchanged songs n talked bout the usual things us guys talked about. It seems like a long time that we have spoken.. n its good to finally catch up with the recent alex who hasnt changed much himself.. still the same old alex i knew in brunei! hehe.. thats not a bad thing.. ok..
Nothing much happened recently.. it feels like my life is a bore, staying in london n supposedly trying to study for my exams, yet i cant.

Got a song playing on my blog as well.. thanks to fred n the site imeem.com
Had dinner in brunei hall n hung out in chia's room which she shared with suang n e-rue.. chiann n shin came in as well. The so-called 'satellite', Chia was using suang's internet, snooping around blogs n looking at my paris pictures on facebook.. soon we were bored, went out to burger king for ice cream, then came back. We were looking at suang's pics on her computer.. then suddenly the door opened without a knock! ohh ohh.. to my surprise, it was the warden! Caught in a girl's room in brunei hall, he asked me what i was doing here, then left.. Phew~ i was stuck for word at that moment, luckily chia quickly answered, "he needs to get his luggage".
Stayed for a little while, then i went back to my hall..

Back from Paris~ Final Day
We reached the train station at 12:45pm with around 1 hour to spend as our train would depart from Paris to London at 2:13pm. I settled for Haagen-Dazs ice cream while waiting~
On the way back to London...
****Sleeping Beauties****
Boon Jing n Alan with the PSP...
Fiqah n Ilyah.. Fiqah with her finger-licking good chocolate!
Sortie = Exit
Back from Paris~ Day 4
Us guys and girls split ways... they went to the girls section which was in another building..
Bridge connecting the guys and girls section..
Time for some ice-cream! GELATO!!! mmmm...
Our last night in Paris was amazing as we went hunting for "good n nice" food recommended by the receptionist in the hotel. We had some trouble finding the place, but the food made up for all the walking.. it was FABULOUS~~
The address is:
le bar a huitres,
33 St Jacques,
75005 Paris
(We stopped at Luxembourg Station)
Spider crab and Whelks!
Our half dozen of snails!
Pot of Mussels with cream sauce...
Chia n her snail!
mmm... yummy~~
Still hungry for food.. we ended going to Mezza Luna, an Italian restaurant serving wonderful pasta.
Boon Jing, Alan n I
Steak with cream sauce n spaghetti~
Satisfied customers! Magnifico~
We headed back, all of us extremely full from the wonderful feast we had. Had a crazy night there, the girls came over to our room because they wanted to disturb us.. but instead got themselves into Boon Jing n his Ju-on! haha.. Boon Jing decided to tell ghost stories.. got them all really scared until they didnt want to go back to their room!
To ligthen the mood up, we ended up playing a game of posing... each of us had to do 5 poses under the spotlight...
These are what i think were the best poses by each person including me! =)
Me
We would have continued doing stupid things the whole night through, but a call from reception came, telling us that someone complained that we were too noisy~
The night ended here.. The last night in Kyriad Hotel in Pigalle!
