Things i spend money on #3

I was so used to standing at the platform waiting for LRT for ages, or waiting for buses which I never know if they are ever existed!! One thing for certain, Malaysian public transport is just a pain!! Those leaders who have got driver driving their big cars would never know how depressing we, the Malaysiana are becoming. Traffic is disaster around city centre as it starts to get busy at 630am. People are leaving home early and getting home late. We are expected to pay toll fees, loadsa fees and stuck in line for ages to pay!!! Such a shame!! We are paying to be stuck in traffic, I'm especially sorry for those who live in Puchong, Cheras and PJ. Even the great government has been claiming that spending billions and billions on motor-way projects will gradually improve traffic situation. Hell Yeah!! BUT if you are getting sick of driving to work or school, please be prepared to spend extra hours waiting at stations if you're thinking of taking buses or trains from A to B or to C. Change your mind yet??!!


#3 Transportation

{Underground is just superb, you wouldn't need a car to go around London at all. Imagine to have a day-trip in Kuala Lumpur without a car??! I would rather stay home than to be frustrated!}

{12 lines of services, you'll never get lost! Remember to stand on the right side of escalator!! Me mostly travel with Circle line, District line, Piccadilly Line and Central line within zone 1 & 2}

{London-----}

{Transportation fares might be costly, but I'm paying without any complaint. If you know what i mean!}

{I know nothing much about Bristol yet...there's a large Urban Outfitters outlet, this is all matters.}

Things i spend money on #4

I remember I used to buy a lot of pop magazines when I was still in high school. I spent £1.29(RM12) every fortnight just to get a copy of Smash Hits, it happened all because of 911 (I'll blame it on RIM chart show. since then I couldn't get enough of English songs!) I was such a big fan but then I missed their showcase and concerts all the time! I wanna give Fei Wen a big hug for getting me the concert ticket even though I couldn't make it in the end! I still keep the ticket in my diary...thanx Fei!
then it was Westlife. I started to buy a lot of magazines, visit the official sites, joining different fan group on Yahoo!, stay tuned on MTV and Channel V all day, listened to the radio non-stop (speaking of which, I won plenty of Cd's and tickets from radio stations. the delivery man knows my place so well that he would just show up at my door without calling asking for direction. I was 14 the first time I ever won something. it was 911's showcase tickets and shame I was pretty weak by then my dad wont let me go, saying I might pass out or something that he didn't wanna see me taken out from the venue by paramedics on tv :S) and I started to have some pen pals from the UK. it was pretty lame I know but I was hoping I was actually writing to some of Kian's closest friends or so. mhaha...I was so young back then that's why!! since I was still a student it was quite a burden to post 5 letters a week to the UK but lucky me found a way to re-use the stamps over and over again!!! I would applied a thin layer of glue on top of the stamps and asked my pen pals send them back to me. soak them in the water for a while and wait. Voila!! the post stamp then would be gone!! I don't know if its illegal to do so...but this is what I called RECYCLE!!!
but it's so strange that I couldn't seem to find any Smash Hits here in Wales. OK! is one of the populars...but pop news nowadays means nothing much to me. I try not to miss a issue of Grand Design just to keep myself updated to the building design trend. I bought a few novels and have some sent from home. I'd just finished 九把刀《等一個人咖啡》...reminds me of my best friends.
I always wanna write more about times when I was 15...it has to be the most memorable year, when I met the most good friends, had the best times!!! 3CE, 1999...I miss you guys!!!!!
#4 Books & Magazines
{Lindsay and big boobs Jordan on cover all the time...make me sick!}


{GD...GDE...GRDES...Grand Design...}

{The book is a million times better than the movie, My Sister's Keeper. i got the Danielle Steel's at a charity market for only 50p!}

{They are some of the best I've ever had!...thanx dear!}

Things i spend money on #5

I spent my last week staying up late in front of my lappy watching TVB for hours and only head to bed at dusk - it just happen way too early now, at 4am! I wasn't taking care of my body - consequently it fell sick! I've been having really dry throat for days. It was sign but I couldn't be bothered to give it a rest. Next, running nose. Last but not least, mild fever!! (I know I wont miss it even though I've been drinking like a fish ever since I got sore throat).

I'm not talking crap yet! This is what I really wanna write about! Where has my money gone to???!! Yes! Spending money is so much fun!! I'm still a fan of writing on pieces of material. (Respect Mother Nature!!) No doubt e-cards are more versatile and environmentally friendly compared to traditional greeting cards. But I do believe nothing beats the feeling of reading a card - a piece of card, made outta paper which was sent from miles aways, with a post stamp on the envelope. No words could describe this feeling.

THiS is why I like spending on cards! I have never seen so many beautiful cards in my life! It got on my nerves whenever it came to choosing a nice greeting cards in Malaysia bcos there was hardly any...and I would spend so much time on picking a card which was only decent and average. BUT what happen here it's the other way round. I could spend like an hour in a card shop and still cant seem to decide which one to get cos most of them look so appealing to me!! It's harder than choosing between a denim or leather jacket!

#5 CARDS & POSTAGE


{No offence. You would never failed in spotting ugly cards here :s They are cheap, though}
{You can get some decent cards with just £1 from Card Factory}

{I haven't been to this yet...you could get most of the party accessories you need I guess}


{Clinton's is my favourite of all. It has got the most attractive cards ever!! i buy most of the cards from here though it cost me more. A single birthday balloon would cost £20.}
