Here I am, another entry. I think people have given up tagging. haha! I totally understand tho, I have sort of given up on this blog. Which is very sad really, I've had it since 2005. I'll be going home to brunei soon tho so I'll definitely be blogging more often. I think it's the layout! I need to change it. I will as soon as I settle back home :) :) I already have an idea for the layout already. I wish I had JASC on my mac so I could just get it over and done with. Grr.
Tonight, we had a pleasant surprise at dinner. Christmas themed! :) Scotch broth, Turkey with cranberry sauce and gravy.. chocolate and cheese cake, and we even go party hats and novelties! Ah.. sad times tho. I am no longer a pescatarian. I have decided to give it up completely so I'm having meat (when I have to). So its been 11months and 8days worth of not eating meat. I think that was a pretty good try, right? :) I think I won't be turning vegetarian in the near future. However, after my education and everything I think I'll give it another shot.
The trip to Loch Ness was an amazing one. The sight and sounds.. okay. not really sounds. but the sights were absolutely breathtaking :) It was a very rushed day nonetheless. Set my alarm up at 5am but only woke up at 5.22am with the cab coming in at 5.30am. Had to get ready in 5 minutes! Made it down at 5.33am. Impressive eh? It was all good tho. The train ride (2.5hours) wasn't too bad as I was super exhausted and therefore fell asleep like a baby :P and when we reached there and had lovely breakfast everything was good again :D
I have been eating and drinking unhealthy amounts of just about everything! it is quite worrying :P nobody is going to be able to recognize me back home! I'm serious! :P it's quite horrible but I am looking forward to all the glorious food back home! Really :) :) :) I already told my mom that the first thing I wanna do when she picks me up from the airport is that I wanna have lunch!!! :D I am thinking either the fish ball place (Yit Sum) or Teo Poi Hoon or somewhere with dimsum! I'm not kidding. I MISS DIMSUM! I can't find any here. I miss RICE porridge and CAKOI. Oh my god I miss cakoi so much. SO UNCOOL! but yes.
Tonight is going to be a quite night :) it's been two weeks.. and it's been a fast two weeks. Happy two weeks even! So we're heading out for a walk by the beach and I am certain I am going to freeze my ass off but it'll be nice to just head out and breathe in some fresh air and everything. :)
Lots of love,

3 songs I'm currently addicted to:
Paramore - The Only Exception.
Ke$ha - Tik Tok
Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc.
I don't even think anyone reads this blog anymore. My bad :$ I'm a horrible blogger. Can I even be considered as a blogger even. Ha-ha.
Anyway, was going to make myself a hearty bowl of porridge with tons of honey, but I hear talking in the kitchen and I am feeling extremely anti-social right now so I scurried back to my room.
This weekend is going to be lovely, having yet another pub-crawl this Friday with the girls + M and Fabian. Loch Ness (Esther!!! I'll try to spot nessie for us! :D) on Saturday as well as a Birthday Party at night. I'm pretty excited. Any reason for alcohol is a good one. Hehe
Also, watched Paranormal Activity last week cause M and I both agreed that horror movies should always be watched in the theatre. And, so we did. Damned movie totally let me/us down. After hearing all the raves about it. Totally didn't live up to its 'title' Scariest movie of 2009? Me thinks, if it really way 2009 must've been a really bad year for horror movies. Honest to god. The damned movie didn't even freak me out.. not even a little bit.
Tomorrow however, M is bringing me to watch 2012 which is quite a pleasant surprise cause we've been watching movies on our laptop almost every night (^_^~) and after skyping with my mom who says that 2012 was good. I was like," I wanna watch 2012!!!" and M is like,"okay, let's watch Thursday okay? why don't you check the time?" And I'm like :D :D :D yey :D hehehe He thinks we should watch 2012 on the big screen cause its the sound effects that should be focused on (or some thing like that)
19 more days till I'm back on Bruneian soil! :D I can't say I'm overjoyed but I'm definitely looking forward to it. I am missing SO many people. Like, excessive miss! I wanna go up to them give them a masssssssive hug and talk about everything without worrying bout lousy internet connection or the time difference. :) I am also missing a bunch of food. I woke up with the biggest BIGGEST craving for fried Bee hoon kosong just two days ago. It was horrid! Whole morning all I could think about was fried bee hoon T_T it's so depressing.
Found a place just now with Mia, where we can get good and cheap sushi! The place isn't very lovely but the food is and they serve like korean food as well so I'm going by again sometime this week to pick up a bowl of japchae for myself :D I cannot wait! I absolutely LOVE japchae! :D heheeee
But yes, tonight is a quiet night. Just had a two hour chat with Alice. M is out with the boys tonight and is going to get excessively drunk so I will not be seeing him tonight. First time in like a week+! gosh. Haha Needy much? ;p hahaha but yeah, I'm just kidding. It's all good :)
I'm in a good place now. in a pretty good place. I like this place :)

Your head on my chest,
I'm tracing crop-circles into your skull-
I wonder if you can hear my heart;
You say it's beating ," I love you, I love you."
That maybe true,
But I think it is saying," Don't leave me, Don't leave me."
because everyone always does.
And I'd like you to stay.

Hello! :) :) First, I feel like SUCH a glutton. I'm eating every minute of the day and it shows now :( quite depressing if you ask me. But, what to do! what to do!! Hmm Been having wonderful weather for the first 3/4 of the week. The minute the weekend looms in the rain and the wind just keeps pouring. Most uncool.
So, what have I been up to? The usual, university life. Only except, this week is reading week and therefore I only had like 1 set of classes to attend. It was very nice :) I honestly cannot believe it's Saturday already! one more month till I'm back in Brunei!! :) :) Back to Kolo Mee, lo han chai fan, roti kahwin, cakoi!!!! buttermilk buns. Oh gosh, I am so excited for the weight gain when I hit brunei soil next month :)
Last night, headed down town to catch Chicago the musical. It was really really good! first time ever catching a musical live tho, definitely an experience :) Also, the christmas market is up and running already and there's food from all over! Scottish, italian, french, german, spanish, oriental... and then little stalls selling knick knacks and whatsorts :) it was really good.
Right now, I'm debating to whether I should finally start my essay due in one day or not do anything at all. SO DIFFICULT. Gah~ the life of a procrastinator.
Heading out for indian food tomorrow night :) then possibly catching New Moon. I might actually have to catch New Moon twice because I promised two different people that I'll watch it with them. Damnit! HAHA oh well :) I love movies tho, so it's all good.
Also managed to watch Dogma again, with Max. :) I loooove Dogma!! Only the best movie ever!!! :D Altho, Max did bring up some interesting questions and I guess that's what happens when you actually watch the movie with someone :P
Yeah alright. I will go procrastinate a little before settling down to start my essay. Or watch a movie. Or both. hurhurhur.
Lovelove!

For a bit, then that's when you have people who come round to pick you up.
People who have mcdonalds with you at 10pm,
People who go crazy buying crisps and maltesers and tons of beer,
People who sit with you talking till 3 in the morning.
Comforting, hugging, telling you that you're worth so much more.
People you can count on.
People that you learn to love.
The sort of love that don't runaway just cause you're not within a 15 minute radius from each other.
The sort of love that stays and never leaves.
The sort of love that doesn't make you feel like complete shit after wards.
The sort that makes you happy and makes everything so much worthwhile.
The sort that stops all the lingering horrible thoughts at the back of your mind.
I'm grateful for these people, my friends.
I love them to bits and pieces.
Here's to a whole new chapter of my life.
It officially starts now.
It officially starts now.
Lovelove,

I know, I know. Updating twice a week! Amazing innit? haha Em, yes. I'm home on a nice rain-less saturday night. Decided not to go out at all because, I am having a massive headache so I'm opting for a more relaxed chilled out evening/night. :) :)
So far, today I have watched Seducing Mr Perfect with the ever so gorgeous Daniel Henney, My Sassy Girl (the english version) altho, in my opinion, I rathered the original/korean version. Seemed more realistic, if you know what I mean. It still made me cry tho. I had slightly puffy eyes at dinner and Mia was like wtf haha. After this I am going to watch Windstruck (lovely movie!!!!) and Konstancja should be coming over at about 9ish. So I am all sorted out for this evening. it is all good :) :) :)
Heading out for Sushi tomorrow night with the girls + Fabian (Mia's puuuuuuuuurrrrrfect boyfriend. HAHA) I am excited. I love and MISS sushi so damn much. Eventho I only just had it two nights ago.... at like 10 at night :P haha it was spontaneous ok! :) But it was all good. I have missed those little rolls with seaweed and raw salmon... and gosh! But yes, so I'm excited bout tomorrow! Will take pictures if I can :)
Speaking of pictures, y'know how I completely killed my poor Lumix camera? Yeah, had to buy a replacement or else I won't have any pictures at all and we all know pictures are so very vital especially on a night out and you wake up wanting to know what exactly happened the night before? you get what I mean? :P haha
OH also spent the afternoon sorta "bonding" with the boys from my floor. Haha watching InBetweeners which was hilarious! it was so typical boys it was funny. And having instant super noodles with chocolate and everything unhealthy. But whatevs, completely LAZY today! I even went to dinner in my home clothes! haha that's how lazy I am today. All I did was pop on a jacket and was out of the door. :P I am horrid but meh.
Some pictures from last night :) :) Went out with Konstancja. Started out with a beer tower (5pints of beer for only £10!) and it was finished in about an hour while having LOVELY meaningful talks bout life. Then we headed over to a house party where, things were interesting....... hahahaha Only a few pictures tho. The rest will be on FB! So you'll be able to see them. Kons will be going thru each picture to see if they can be posted up ;p hahahah gosh.
gotta love her ;)
Lots of love!

FAVOURITE AT THE MOMENT.
I am SO GOING to say this everytime SOMEONE pisses the crap outta me.
(I do hope I don't burst out laughing afterwards tho, I always do when I say it right now :P)
Absolutely BAWLED my eyes out during their wedding. It was so beautiful T.T
Jim & Pam 4EVA! :) :) :)
Halloween 2009 has certainly been the best SO far! only really really bad points are that I completely screwed my camera up so that probably means no more pictures till I bring it back to Brunei to get it fixed :( :( This sucks, maybe I shall invest in a cheap one in the meantime :P but yes. But it was great nonetheless! Everyone was SO dressed up it was SO cooL! The streets were filled up with like the weirdest things ever! A flashes, a milk carton, an energizer battery, and everything. Went as the Incredibles tho (if you're a fb friend, you'd probably see the pictures on the ever legendary facebook :P) with Becky and it was SO FUN getting dressed up with friends :) will defo dress up next year again :)It was really funny cause thruout the night people kept asking us which incredibles we were and like, we kept saying we were Limited Edition ones called Galaxy (Becky) and Milky Way thanks to chocolate bars :P ahahahaha and we had special secret powers :P there were tons of other incredibles tho .. like there was this guy with lights around his logo! it was so clever! hhaha
I will blog more often, keep checking back!

Will blog soon!

Hello, hello :) It's that time of the week again, except I didn't exactly blog last week but yes. Have been extremely busy and tonight is one of the few nights I'm not exactly doing anything.It's nearly 11pm and I'm sitting down with my shorts and a bowl of super noodles (instant noodles) blogging, listening to music, thinking, and most of all.. missing a shit load of people and wishing you guys were all right here with me, cramped pack into my little room :) I'd imagine the things with you guys, individually. I dream about walk in the parks with Dennis, hand in hand whilst talking about everything and nothing at all like we always do. I dream about walking up and down Union Street, shopping and having a ball with Amilyn. Fawning over books and walking about the campus with Rebecca. Eating and eating and eating while talking and laughing really loudly till people give us dirty looks with Chloe (and shopping too!). Meeting up in quaint little cafes with lovely soup especially and really good desserts with Fauzi. Walking about M&S with Diana, discussing groceries! and all the products. I honestly, really miss you guys. And if I've not mentioned you, don't worry about it. I miss a shitload of people now. Can't possibly list everyone out ;) If you think I'd have a reason to miss you, I probably do. :)
I must say tho, Emotional Eating will be the death of me. That's fo sho'. I have just finished the whole bowl of super noodles (which was very yummy btw) and I'm still hungry! it is so uncool. I had a foot long sub for lunch, ice-cream sundae and cheese baked vegetables for dinner and about 4 slices of toast with margarine for breakfast. My eating habits are extremely appalling but hmm. What to do? -.- Oh well. At least I have been trying to get some uh physical exercise into my life. Not that it will be much of a help considering me eating.
The thing is, since tonight has been the first night in many nights I'm alone in my room and of course I sat down and thought about my life. And I was thinking about so many things it sort of overwhelmed me. Alice comes in to have a little chat, I talk and then I burst into tears because some things are just so overly frustrating. I'm not home-sick. It has nothing to do with Brunei. But, just some of my issues over here. I wanted to be able to call either Chloe or Becky because they always have something to say to make me feel better. But I can't because there's the whole 7 (soon to be 8) hours difference. No, I wasn't gonna wake them up just to listen to me whine about how undecisive I am and how I'm not ever sure about my decisions and all my what if's. No, I'm not all that selfish yet. Not yet. But Alice was a pretty good replacement :) She listened to me, gave me honest replies, I burst into more tears, we talk a bit and then she leaves and I start my emotional eating regime. Just stuff myself till I can't feel anything. Till I feel sick and want to sleep and I don't know. Just that, if you know me, you'd know I absolutely hate making decisions. Especially when the decision depends solely on me and no one else can make the decision for me. I hate it.
I'm still unsure about my decisions. Time will only tell if everything will be alright. Halloween's in a week. Brunei and Christmas and family and friends in about 2 months. Am I excited? I don't know. I certainly can't wait to see the bunch of you :)
I guess I'll go. I'll post up pictures real soon! :) Its been a while since I've put a whole bunch of text up, I'd be guessing about 5% of you would read this whole thing. It's alright, you don't/didn't have to read. :) I love writing, it takes my frustration off things something. Like a diary, my blog where I just jot things down. Express myself..
Lots and lots of love,
Amelia x x x
