updating... its been a long time...

hey everybody!! its me fabian.. long time i have not shared my information and life ongoings...1st of all.. so happy that such a blog was initiated... we should have done this right from the beginning but its just as good now! the last time i mailed was before the 23rd of december.. thats was before i left for london..right of the night prior to my flight the following morning i had a palatable dinner with all my workmates (cuisine de france) in a restaurant called 'Bourbon'. pretty grand restaurant where i had a slice of tenderloin myself... the best of that night was that alcoholic drinks was bottomless... aha.. we all had loads of fun sharing each others stories despite nearly every1 else were much older(like late 30s so so)did not get a hangover the following morning though and in no time i was already in london.meeting up with some ol pals where we were able to mesmerize one anothers past times after quite a long time was great! during that night i dined with a friend of mine in the angus steak house... it was quite an expensive dinner being about 20 plus pounds perhead but the main problem lies on the meal being not satisfying enough... or maybe its just me. barely a day i stayed still, i hit the following day's noon bus to sheffield. xmas eve was pretty boring as all we had to do was playing monopoly, cards, chit chatting and as usual complemented with a couple of beers... xmas was wasted as i got out of bed after sunset(about 4). however it did not really bother me as there was nothing else to do and everywhere were closed out for the auspicious day anyway.boxing day was my chance to explore the shopping world of sheffield.. loads of ppl were on the same tract.however selection was quite limited and i only managed to get myself a hoody combined jacket. normal daily lifestyles went on before i hit the final bus to edinburgh. so happy to see rachel jie jie... edinburgh is extremely beautiful. the place just looked magnificent and classic with alot of history and heritage. had some karaoke with jie jie and her frens besides helping her to prepare her turkey despite i was not much of help besides providing strength to carry the turkey out of the oven at certain intervals. 'Haggis" was a new dish i tried and pretty good it was. probably we do have something similar over at my place just that they do not give it a name.. my place is overloaded with potatoes! i enjoyed my time in edin burgh very much... the hogmanay was spectacular as well just that i was a lil drunk that nite... could not manage to concentrate and appreciate the moment sufficiently... but is'nt it not suppose to be like this??not to mention the previous night was interesting as well.. there was an enormous 'hot' event there where they had hydrogen creature like balloons parading around, stages with dancing performances, being messed up by hair stylists and the highlight of the night was i suppose...'the Keeley dance'. not my first time though so certain moves i was a lil informed of and the crowd was huge. tammy's presence made the holiday more interesting as well... other stuff that jie jie brought me to check out was 'mussel inn' and 'chocolate cafe' if i did not named it wrongly. both these were totally new to me. the stay at jie jies place really enlightened me up and i definitely did not expect that much before not to mention jie jies hospitality as well. hoped i could have stayed there for a longer time bofore i remembered it was the end of my holiday.After arriving bakc to Belfast the girls were not really happy with the condition of the house.. and so was I! messed up! at least we had a cleaning spree with the rest of the house mates the subsequent day. i felt very bad throughout their stay here as i was not able to spend time with them besides during meals as i had to prepare for my examination. hopefully they showed themselves around well enough and seemed satisfied. the most miraculous day was the 2nd nite here where it snowed and snowed and snowed! never this has happened in Belfast since the past 5 years according to some locals... jie jie and Tammy's lucky moment here i guess. jie jie and Tammy were busy with her friend dining being well acquainted where me and my house mates rushed to the Lanyon buliding(university's main spot) to play snowfights with other malaysians and china friends... loads of fun it was! upon coming home we had snowfights with neighbours as well till my arm was hurting... however the white moments did not last too long... temperature fluctuated and everything was melting which all ended in the next two days... :( after their trip here has come to an end, it was my turn to begin hard core studyin... days were limited and the pressure was kicking in deeper and deeper... after 10 days of stress and sleeping disorientation i am now back to holiday state... :) prolly time for me to catch up with things and settle unfinished business... being the second day of holiday right now... i have not done much.. juz lazing around, playing computer games and drinking with frens.. all which seems a lil monotonous nowadays.. perhaps hopefully something new and fascinating will make its way into my life soonnn... thats all from me right now.. saw the dinner that mum, dad and stef jie had in shangrila.. must have been a nite to remember... love and miss all of you!!! :) love son and bro.
