Rememberences experienced

SNOW ,, wow sound nice and it's nice also to seeing snow fall, feel like wanna dance. Making snow man, snow ball , angels and etc.. excpet cannot make ice kacang, cendol or ABC or ice kepal.

On 21st Dec 2009, hope not happening again to me, I was walking miles and miles to back home. No bus or any transport, sound not good, eh!!! Yeah, it was... road was covered with ice and it was slippery. My house area are hill, so it's make more difficult as bus can move up or down..too slippery and dangerous. My journey from Greenwich to forest hill was ages for me to walked, but I ve no choice... walking and walking on ice, make my feet felt freezing and numb.

Anyway, this experienced was good to have it hahaha coz I can have it in Malaysia.

Off from Internet

Yeah it was nice off from internet for a few days.. who say peoples can't live without it? Yes, I can do hehehe even it a bit strange. So what I do without Internet..yeah went to holiday.

I went to Barcelona for a 4 days, it was a lovely trip, out from cold and grey weather ... there temprature not so cold and not so warm, about 21- 25 celcius but already make two of us boiling. First night was so cold, second night we were boiling and third night was cold back,,strange and make us wondering.

Barcelona it's a nice city, and I guess better way far from London, interms of cleaness, crowd and for me it's calm city but other than that London are cheap for food and cloths, perfume and etc.. Their metro (underground transportation) are way to clean and just need extra carefull with pick pocket.

On our 1st day..we were lucky because we got a chance to watch a fantastic and spectacular colourful musical fountain near Placa Nacional..

Language mmmm even all them speak spanish but they do can speak english,,so no worries for travellers.

Food...mmm yummy seafood... tapas and paella ve to try it if we go to Spain.. and there are few halal restaurant too.. (need to find it )..

Beach.. yeah next time need to bring beach suite,,nice beaches Barceloneta beach..lots of activities there we can do and see too.

Museums.. mmmm a bit expensive for the entrance but why not just go 1 or 2 museum better than nothing.

Weekend trips with lodgers in UK

I went to watch football match at Conventry (Chelsea vc Coventry city) in Ricoh Arena stadium.

After the match we went for sightseeing,,nice city. We had a chicken cottage for our lunch and dinner.

Next we went to Brimingham, thought wanna watch badminton (All England - Semifinal) but we arrived there late and at same time not enough budget for the ticket entry he he he.

All of us fell in love with Brimingham city.. very lovely and not really pack like London, even we went at night. Will go there again ;p

Am a Nanny

Now almost 2 months, I become a babysitter for a Greek family in London. A bit tough for me, because I ve no experienced taking care of children but Alhamdulillah I manage.

I thought, it was boring but it's not. I need to bring those kids to playground, toy library, music class and to the park.. everyday differents places.

Hope, I can stay longer be a bit ,,,at least for 10 months or even more ;p . They give 20 days leaves in a year,, work from monday till friday (8.30 - 5.00pm) like a office hour.

Holiday Maker

Mmmmm now am almost 4 months, as a working holiday maker..even some peoples said am insane or crazy because just gave up my good life in Malaysia and go to UK for holiday and try to do any kind of job likes waitress, sales promoter or nanny or bla bla bla. Sold my car.. quick a job as a Business Analyst which I earn salary really a lots.. but I don't care, I just want an experienced before I ve a commitment (have my own happy family...he he he)

I had been tour to Scotland, Brussel, Luxemburg, Holland, Germany and France. Than a took a tour in London and some part outside west england.

Now , my turn to work, job hunting with a visa that am holding "Holiday Maker Visa" which allow me to holiday and work in UK for 2 years. A bit difficult for me to find a job now, as now economy not so good (credit crunch),, but I cant give up as I need to earn some money to pay my livin cost in London and pay my debt in Kuala Lumpur.

On last dec 2008, i had been working for a few weeks in cafe as a waitress but cant stay longer as they need me to work from 11am till 12am ... I can do it but I cant stand with the weather, really cold for me.. as I coming from country which have summer for 12 months :P.

For right now ,,, am still on job hunting, hopefully I will get something soon... and I believe there are something for me outside there. GO GO
