Cambridge Trip

Thursday, Before Leaving Glasgow

I met up with GL, PR, GG for lunch and we went to the Bothy Restaurant near Byres Road, and i passed GL a luggage bag for her to help me keep over the summer after that i went home to continue packing and do some last minute watching of Scrubs and slept for awhile.

and then after locking my luggage bag and packing my laptop

At on;ly 8.45 pm, I realised i misplaced a key which i (stupidly) put into the bag i gave GL ( which contained a bunch of unused locks and keys), so then i panicked, asked AL for help ( THANKS SO MUCH) as well as GL

The Amazing race to Byres Road, Bus no. 18 was delayed for the ride back and forth and i had to be at the station by 10.30 pm! Gosh, so with the help of AL, who met me infront of tesco with my luggage bags and GL, i made it on time for the bus to cambridge.

AL was very sweet and helpful to accompany me all the way there to the bus station without her i would not know what to do.

Conclusion: Stefanie = Stupid.

Thursday, Friday Long Bus Ride

It was a really extremely long bus ride down to cambridge, about 10 hours in total, 4 hours of sleep. And very tiring although it was just sitting all the way. I did listen to my ipod, drank water and used the eye - mask thingy to block out light and the airplane cushion It was dark so, no reading, nothing much to do on the bus ride, except sleep. Arrived in London for 2 hours, and i think personally it is better to travel in a pair, as in, why are toilets one flight of stairs down ( as i have 2 suitcases) so to make sure i have all my luggage and all, i had to lug my luggage bags down to the toilet ( Buffed up) and back up the stairs again.

Friday: Arrival at Cambridge

Arrived about 10.30 am, was completely exhausted and needed the toilet ( toilets in a bus is rather… unhygienic and disgusting really), my bro was already waiting for me then we went to his place Made lunch which was curry chicken and some veg from sainsbury’s (which was really really nearby), after that had a nap and then went for ballroom dancing practice for the May Ball

And for a very long time, i slept extremely early ( bro pressured me to) from 9 pm to 9.40 am the next day.

Saturday: Malaysian Society Garden Party

had breakfast. which was a sandwich and bought some yoghurt.

After breakfast, did some laundry and helped bro by following him around, took some pictures of the area

 

 

Took random shots, we were rushing to the garden party, so my photos were rushed as in using the antishake photo mode

Nice turn out though

We then arrived at the party, it had, quite alot of food ( Chicken curry, acar, satay, drumsticks, strawberries and chocolate fountain, marshmallows, drinks)

there was also a giant size jenga, 4 in a row game..

Guess who is in the second pic from the left? : Nicholas Liew ( Oh well, he says he wants to meet us DJians when he is back in Msia ! as he says he would like to catch up with everyone and go mamak!)

Food:  rice and curry chicken with acar, satay, chocolate fountain with strawberries and bananas, burger patties, etc.

Came back to bro’s room, watched a few episodes of house, after that watched Indiana Jones and went to meet bros friends to play silly games* ( Mafia the whole night long)

Sun 15 Jun

Bro’s Excerpt ( email to mum)
Go to church in the morning, then lunch in Hall followed by punting in the afternoon (with snacks and juices from Sainsbury’s). Then went to dinner at a friend’s place (the same one who wanted to cook Malaysian a few weeks ago) and made dumplings, lettuce, Estonian meat cake (!), had more strawberries/melons/pineapple with ice cream, came back, went to another friend’s room and played silly games. Then watched Hairspray (again on Stefie’s computer). Slept at 3 am.

Punting : it was difficult LOL and using a long pole!

 

Mon 16 June (MAY BALL)
The queue to the ball was very long. A parade of people best dressed in gowns and suits ( Dress code was black tie: bow tie, and plaited white collar long sleeve shirt and suit. Fancy

After that, ( my HEELS was killing me, fashion hurts) and then we headed for the food, which was Greek and Turkish : Salmon/Swordfish kebabs) and so much more which was amazing.

The fireworks was so BEAUTIFUL! really enjoyed that

 

there was also oysters, a hypnotist ( this show was awesome and hard to believe really! but true), classical music, scottish dancing : ceilidh, and bumper cars plus inflatable hot air balloon. there were dance floors, drink bar, i had champagne and some orange gin ( tasted)

 

Ball was from 9pm to 6 am ( stayed there the whole time) and there was breakfast as well!

Tue 17 June
Sleep! woke up at 3pm cooked lunch which consisted of black pepper chicken and veg ( tasted great)

18 June

Left cambridge for london and from london to heathrow ( another amazing race as the bus almost arrived late at the station) RUN RUN.

Hm, my love story, basically i’ve drown many times in love, but im loving it, this is a beautiful song. Im glad i met you, finding the person i really love most and a wish that i would want to spend with someone i love most for the rest of my life. You picked me up when i fell, you were always there by my side. wo ai ni.. sniff*

I really hope the future goes well for us!
5. What was high school like?
How Far We’ve Come: Matchbox Twenty

Well, high school was amazing! and this song so does fit it! This is like on the way to school this song, “We are going to find out Let see how far we have come” in our lives, after highschool, most of us parted our ways to different colleges, and our different roads our lives. Mayshi, Jun Ai Future Docs, Kevin and Nimalan Future lawyer so many friends pursuing their dreams and their lifes. Miss all of you back in high school.

And Going the Extra Mile ( Let’s See how far we have come) i miss prefects! oops next song d..
6. How can you get ahead with life?
Where is the Love: Black Eyed Peas

Don’t judge and you will not be judged, dont criticise and be who you are. Love others as others love you and love your enemies, look for the good in people and trust that they have qualities to admire and do not judge books by the cover. I think this is important as a future doctor and important for me to accomplish this values. Love is what makes the world go round. ” Whats wrong with the world we live in” i think that what ever happens war etc and all, and esp the previous tragedy in Burma, Andrew yap who passed away, I find that there is love that binds us together and makes us steadfast in our beliefs!

This song was played at a Confirmation Camp, and it reflected the whole world.
7. What’s the best thing about your friends?

I’ll Be the One: Backstreet Boys

My Friends are my LIFE!

8. Describe your grandparents.

Hot Street: Michael Jackson

Gosh, i dont think this song is appropriate but oh well, sadly to say i was young when both grandparents passed away. My Grandpa was a tap dancer acc. to my mum :). so i can imagine him dancing like Michael jackson lol
9. How’s your life going?

Holding on for you: Liberty X

“Minutes turn to hours, time keeps marching on, im still here alone still waiting, million miles away, temptation all around.. im holding on for you”

11. Will you have a happy life?

Circle of Life: Ronan Keating ( From Lion King)

” It is the wheel of fortune, it is the leap of faith to find our place on the path unwinding”

I hope so, to me life is like a number 8, there is the curves and bends and there is a part in the middle which converges and you have to choose which path you have to take and sometimes you are back to square one. I love ronan keating songs! I can predict the future , but there will be happy moments, sad and challenging moments. Its a circle of life, live life to the fullest and be who you want to be! “Some of us fall by the way side and some of us soar to the stars and some have to live with the scars” never lose hope! This is a great song!!

12. What do your friends really think of you?

Far Away: Nickelback

Yes, physically im far away. lol a million miles away from home. Im sorry guys and girls im far away and not at back home with you all back home. When i’m back lets go yum cha!! like yi ting says lol.

” Last chance, for one last dance”

This reminds me of prom night 2005, i wished i danced with all my friends, wished i have known those i dont know a little bit more better before our ways parted. 

So far away…
13. How can you make yourself happy?

Call me when you’re sober: Evanescence

Okay, lol ( stefanie shakes her ipod vigorously!) ahah i dont mind if people call me when they are sober lol, i need to help them get home if they had to much alcohol lol. and definitely drinking does not make me happy lol. Drink Ribena its good and full of vit C! I make myself happy by switching this song to the next one lol.

14. What should you do with your life?

Bubbly: Colbie Caillat

” You make me smile..”

OMG, my favourite song. I want to be bubbly lol. Hm, i want to be a doctor yes, and getting in to med school was one of the hardest things in my life, but i want to care for people, this song is my personality! I want to treasure my life, make the best of it, learn from mistakes and learn to move on and let go.

“Wherever wherever wherever you go…”
15. Will you ever have children?

Who Am I: Casting Crowns

“I am the flower quickly fading..still you here me when im calling, Lord you catch me when im falling and you tell me who I am”

16. What does your mom think of you?

Speed Demon: Michael Jackson

I think this song speaks for itself and for me. I pray  for all my enemies and my friends, those i have hurt due to love and those i had grudges on.
19. Whats your personality like?
Animal Song: Savage Garden

Bring out the animal in you, I was put forward a question once, what animal would you like to be? i want to be a squirrel lol and eat nuts. I want to live ! definitely not like an animal la all wild and that lol.

“Animals like children tell truths they never lie”

Bubbly : Colbie Caillat

Colbie Caillat - Bubbly lyrics

Will you count me in?
V1: I’ve been awake for a while now
you’ve got me feelin like a child now
cause every time I see your bubbly face
I get the tinglies in a silly place
C: It starts in my toes
and I crinkle my nose
where ever it goes I always know
that you make me smile
please stay for a while now
just take your time
where ever you go
V2: The rain is fallin on my window pane
but we are hidin in a safer place
under covers stayin dry *(safe) and warm
you give me feelins that I adore
C: It starts in my toes
make me crinkle my nose
where ever it goes
i always know
that you make me smile
please stay for a while now
just take your time
where ever you go
B: What am I gonna say
when you make me feel this way
I just……..mmmmmm
C: It starts in my toes
make me crinkle my nose
where ever it goes
i always know
that you make me smile
please stay for a while now
just take your time
where ever you go
V3: I’ve been asleep for a while now
You tucked me in just like a child now
Cause every time you hold me in your arms
I’m comfortable enough to feel your warmth
C: It starts in my soul
And I lose all control
When you kiss my nose
The feelin shows
Cause you make me smile
Baby just take your time now
Holdin me tight
Where ever, where ever, where ever you go
Where ever, where ever, where ever you go
Where ever you go, I’ll always know
Cause you make me smile here, just for a while

If you are bored and have nothing to do

Dedicated to Ms AL

THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
Blink wildly and then close your eyes really tight for an interesting light show
(Amusement Potential: 1-5 minutes)
See a variety of blobs, stars and flashes. Try to make out shapes and see if your subconscious is trying to send you a message (perhaps that funny shape is saying, ’send all your money to urban75.com’?)
See how long you can hold a note
(Amusement Potential: 4-20 minutes)
Not that much fun, but it sure passes the time. Play with a friend, or try to beat your own personal best. Inhale deeply and then try and make a noise for as long as you can. Earn extra points for making your partner laugh or ending on an amusing note.
Try to not think about penguins
(Amusement Potential: 1-5 minutes)
This is especially hard, because by trying too much, you remember what you were trying to avoid thinking of. If you try too little, you end up thinking about penguins anyway.
Use your secret mind power
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
Pick a passing by and try to use your mind power to command them do something, like drop their bag or knock into someone. The law of averages dictates that sooner or later one of your mind commands will come true, so you can convince yourself that you really have super human powers and waste even more time trying them out.
Pretend you’re a robot
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
Walk down the street with mechanical movements, adding ‘zzzzzt’ sounds with each motion. Pretending to have a motor broken in, say, your left hand can add at least 30 seconds more entertainment.
Scratch yourself
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
Go ahead, scratch yourself now. Even if nothing itches, go ahead. Doesn’t that feel pretty good?
Rate passers by
(Amusement Potential: 10-15 minutes)
Secretly award passers by marks out of ten as you go along, offering (unsaid) expert criticism over their clothing, hairstyle and footwear choices.
Repeat the same word over and over until it loses its meaning
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
Pick a random word out of a magazine and say it aloud to yourself until it becomes a meaningless set of noises.
Pinch yourself
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
What is pain? Why is it unpleasant? There’s nothing physical about it - it’s all in your mind. Plus, after pinching yourself for awhile, boredom will seem nice next to being in pain.
Try to swallow your tongue
(Amusement Potential: 1-2 minutes)
There’s not much to say about this one. It is possible, but really stupid.
Pretend to be a car
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
Make appropriate revving noises in your head as you walk along and add a racing commentary as you pass strangers in the street. Use blinking eyes as indicators for extra authenticity.
Make Star Trek door noises
(Amusement Potential: 1-2 minutes)
Stand by an electric door to a bank or something and make that silly “Scccccccchwop” sound heard whenever people popped on to the bridge to hang with Captain Kirk.
Look at something for awhile, shut eyes, study after image
(Amusement Potential: 2-5 minutes)
Another great time waster. It takes about 30 seconds of staring to create an after image, and the image is then viewable for about the same length of time. Fun to combine this one with pushing on your eyes.
Get yourself as nauseated as possible
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
Best achieved by looking straight up and spinning around. Try to be so dizzy you can’t even stand up. This is also entertaining due to the “makes boredom seem a lot better” effect (see “Hurt Yourself”).
Invent a weird twitch
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
Adopt a bizarre twitch (e.g. flicking your head irregularly, twitching with eye or busting out sporadic cough noises) and try it out when you go shopping.
Make a low buzzing noise
(Amusement Potential: 15-30 minutes)
Hours of fun in libraries! Keeping a totally straight face and looking nonchalant, make a low pitch humming/buzzing noise and see who reacts.
