Imagine..

Imagine a big field filled with deep green grass, covered with blossoms blooming over the place, and placed in the middle, a grand piano with its keys sparkling for its master to take his place.

Standing there by the field, you see him walking to the piano, your heart beating as he sat down and lay his fingers on the keys, ready to play. He looked at you, his eyes shining and smiled with a wink. You stood there frozen, as his fingers played with the keys, a beautiful melody dancing around you, sending you off to your fantasy world...

Close your eyes my love, and imagine... Imagine life being so beautiful with nothing to worry and fear is no where near.. Imagine.. and Live..

---------------------------------------------------------------
Just something I suddenly came up with while I was listening to Yiruma- River flows in you. My mind imagines and wish someone would actually do that to me, but it will always remain to be a dream.

Inspiration is the key, Motivation brings you to do it, and determination makes it happen.

Live to be inspired, never give up and catch your dreams..

Time to go on a diet!!!

Hey all,

OMG~ Its time.. TO GO ON A DIET!! I just saw a picture of mine and was comparing it to how i used to look like and Now, Im chubbier than before, and the worse thing is it shows in my cheeks and face.. NOOOO!!!

Anyways, I was so frus that i went to search for some diet tips and found this website that shows 7 ways to lose weight.. Here it goes..

1. Drink water
No, you don’t have to fill up like a tub, but ensure that you drink 8 to 10 glasses of water every day. Don’t substitute for juice. Your body should always be hydrated. Your kidneys will thank you as it can easily flush out the waste. With adequate water intake your body will be able to metabolize fat more effectively. And if you have a glass of water 10-15 minutes prior to your meal, you will feel full once you start eating. Another fun fact, did you know that you can lose 62 calories by drinking
ice cold water?

2. Eat 5 times a day
Start with breakfast. The more you eat for breakfast, the less food you will want to eat at night. Please, don’t skip this meal as you’ll end up devouring everything in sight for the rest of the day. You don’t need to gobble up 5 large meals. Eat sensibly so your body doesn’t crave for food. If you treat your body right it won’t demand for more attention!

3. Use weights
Needless to say, exercise is crucial to weight loss. You can’t expect to sit on the couch all day, sip water and lose weight. Join a good gym that lets you work with weights. It will help you build muscle and your metabolism rate will increase. You’ll soon see the fat come off and in its place muscle will develop.

4. Smaller plates
The hotel industry has changed the way we look at food. Today a regular burger can feed an elephant. Well, almost! Check your portions the next time you dine out. You don’t need to finish every morsel. So, what you should do is ask your waiter to put half of your meal into a doggy bag before it even makes to the table. This way you will not be tempted and you will feel full eating less. And you will have something for breakfast too!

When eating at home, it’s better to get rid of the huge plates you usually use. Substitute them with small ones - when food starts to fall off, you’ll know it’s enough. Try to get these new plates in dark colors. Dark blue will be your best choice since it’s the #1 color that fights off the appetite. Avoid red/orange/yellow colors in your dining area - they are the ones making your appetite go sky high! (Think McDonalds’ logo - the colors they use are not a coincidence!)

5. Read between the lines
Food and drink products are all out to get you. They scream ‘Buy me! Buy me!’. It could be ‘fat free’ but it could still have a lot of calories. You need to analyse the nutrition label on the cover. The number one example of this is sodas. Find out what’s good for you and what isn’t. Knowing in advance can help you stay away from products that are calorie-enriched. Oh, and when shopping for groceries, avoid the aisles with cookies, frozen pizzas and ice-cream - it’s not the best place to test your will-power.

6. Keep a journal
It helps to document what you eat. This way you can keep track and evaluate your eating habits at the end of each week. Ask your dietician to look at your journal and suggest improvement points. I found it helpful to measure myself with a meter every morning. Every time I skipped dinner, my waist was a little bit smaller - and that’s what gave me the strength to put my appetite under control.

7. Don’t punish yourself
Go easy on yourself at least one day in a week. If you begin to dislike your diet then there’s something wrong. Find a diet that suits your body type and your lifestyle.

Thats the 7 ways! I'm gonna try them soon as long as I'm not lazy.. We all know I'm such a lazy bum.. But its time to get my 48kg back to its rightful place. Gonna go shopping tomorrow and hopefully I wont buy so much junk food, should buy the healthy fruits and healthy food. Haha!! Wish me good lucks!!

Hi guys,

I was sleeping and sooo blur like thinking who would knock on my door at this time.. Then snow told me its snowing outside, she knew i wanted to see snow BADLY! Hahhaa.. So i quickly open my curtains, it was dark and i was blur so not tht clear la.. But slowly the vision got to me, and i saw it!! Slight snow and the road was white.. YAY!! SNOW!! hehehe

Another sighting was when we were in EBL sessions, all the sudden, someone just shouted "Its snowing!" and we open the curtains, and it REALLY WAS SNOWING!! So nice la.. This time it wasnt tht slight but too bad we couldnt go out and play, just coz we were havin classes.. Oh wells, weather forecast says its gonna be heavy snow tomorrow so Im crossing my fingers..

Twilight obsession~

And so the lion fell in love with the lamb…

Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 13, p.274

What a stupid lamb.

Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 13, p.274

What a sick, masochistic lion.

Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 13, p.274

You are my life now.

Edward Cullen, Twilight

About three things I was absolutely positive.

First, Edward was a vampire.

Second, there was a part of him- and I didnt know how dominant that part might be- that thirsted for my blood

Third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him

YAY!! I finally watched the movie!! hahaha.. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH BRO!! U kno how much my love for you have increase la... Obsession is sooo scary man, I watched it twice.. the romance was sooo addictive.. The book was much better definately because of the tension and details but the movie was great!! I never realised how HOT Robert Pattinson is~ hahaha.. London ah London, why you soo big?? Please, let me see Rob when i go london nxt yr~

Im in love with vampires now, and it would be sooo cooL if vampires really do exist, haha.. Last time you would think vampire is soo freaky and scary, thanks to twilight, every girl would wish their boyfriends would be a vampire, who would love them so much and play the piano for them. Thats my dream too girls! But we can fantasize~ cant we? haha..

For those who havent read twilight, read it!! Its an awesome book, and the romance is amazing.. It drags you into the book, initially my imaginations werent like the movie, I imagined the Cullens and Bella's house to be different, the romance and the tension to be a little bit different but nah~ Im not the director.. Haha.. Lets all support twilight saga and hope Stephenie completes Midnight sun for us..

Stephenie Meyer! No matter what you write for Midnight Sun, I'm sure it will be awesome and we'll all support you! Gambatte! Jia you and gd lucks! =D

Lost...

Hey all,

I'm starting to feel myself as a real stupid person.. Maybe what dad said was right, I'm so dumb.. I shouldnt have gotten into a relationship, I should listen to dad, study hard and get good grades for a better future.. Maybe if I was single during my Alevels, I could've achieve the 4 As I wanted. But that was a sacrafice i made, a stupid decision...

Maybe being single would be nice.. Maybe there would be lesser troubles in life, yes, I'll feel lonely but will the surroundings of friends and family balance that? Will I be more happier?? Is my love life in a mess right now?? I dont know.. I honestly dont..

Crying almost everyday recently, wasting precious tears and making myself feel tired, thats not happiness.. But yeah, I guess Im dumb and stupid.. I guess I should have listen 2 dad and wait for him 2 say " I told you so"...

Well, so much for my happy ending yea?

-May out-

I'm sensing history will happen again, it was never my fault but you took it as a joke and threw me aside when you didnt need me... I'm willing to die but I will not do it, i will not be stupid anymore.. I'll live my life like there's no tomorrow and die when god wants me to go to him..

P.S I love you...

Went to london from like 17th-19th Oct 2008 because there was the BSU raya function at Dorchester Hotel on the 19th Oct. Was nice to see my dear aunts again.. Saw my 3rd aunt when i arrived coz Uncle Michael came to the train station to pick me up and we went to see 3rd aunt, steady la them, can recognize me after not seeing me for 10 years, and I didnt send them a picture~ Maybe its cause I look like my mom? Anyhow, 1st night we just had some chinese food and then go to their house to hang a bit.. Next to their house was a plant called "Kelloggs" which I thought was the cereal brand le.. Sekali not long when i went to the chem eng exhibition in Birmingham then i realise tht "Kelloggs" was actually a chemical plant for oil and gas industry!! So dumb la me.. but yea, LAME~~ My aunt and uncle lived a bit outside of london, so here are some pics!

On my second day in London, I met Michael Harry after 10 long years, change already la!! Too bad Amy is in Warwick, so far she's the only family whom I still havent see in the UK.. Hope to see her soon in Christmas/New year tho.. hahaha.. We went to Chinatown coz my big aunt wanted to bring me to eat dim sum~~ Yumm~~ hahaha.. It was gd tho, and Michael and I took a picture with the Chinese Arch, we did the asian pose too!! *Peace*
Chinese Arch

May & Michael

Haha, thats me and my cousin!! =D Second day went by quickly as we walked around China town, went to the Museum nearby, which had LOTS of things from different parts of the world, made me feel like I was travelling tho.. Haha.. And then we went to like LSE to tour around the small university.. My cousin is doing his PhD in LSE and he was an Oxford student before, smart eh?? Haiz.. If only I was like them~~ *Dreaming*.. So just walked a lot in central london and thts a day gone! Oh ya! Ah kian yiyi came to london that day at a very last minute decision and then we met her, thts when i changed my accommodation location from my 3rd aunt's place to where my small aunt was staying.. Her frenz all sooo cool la~! Syok also hang with my small aunt..As seen from my previous blogs.. HAHAHA!!

Next day was the hari raya day! And typical me, woke up late and had to rush things to go to the celebration. I didnt know I had to get the tickets from Brunei Hall, so I tried my luck going to the hotel and it worked!! They had our tickets there as well.. I was sooo glad to see all my friends back from Brunei and we started to cam-whore around the places, pictures can be found in facebook coz I dont have them. I've been in the UK for almost 2 months and I havent been to Brunei hall!! Cannot la me~~ Hahaha.. Brunei hall also invited a indonesian band which seems to be famous but i have no idea who they are.. So I sort of ended the day by visiting Hyde Park with ah kian yiyi and took vain pictures again lo~ The autumn leaves sooo lawa... So it was quite nice to be there..

Haha, Im sooo vain right?? And such a poser, even my friends like Della are calling me poser.. Hahah, but nvm, i enjoy it!! Have to enjoy my time and study hard while I'm still in UK!

Thats all for now!! Byeee..

Portsmouth

Hey all!

Well, now its time to story about my trip to portsmouth and these other places.. Anyways, after we got back to southampton from Bath, Nick called Auntie Kian and was asking whether we wanna go jalan with him.. So it was between going to portsmouth or getting greek food in southampton.. coz Nick owes me greek food!! Hahhaa.. Note: Try greek food with a greek, coz they know what is the best. Anyhow, we decided to go to portsmouth coz there was this synappel tower (sorry i dont know the spelling) but yea.. it was like the mini version of the dubai one.. So in the end, trip to portsmouth won! hahaha.. Eventually, we found steki (an awesome greek restaurant) and so, it was a double win!! Visit to portsmouth AND greek food!! HAHAHA!! Here are some pics of the tower, the pirate ship and a bit of food.. (Pictures can be found on facebook)

100,000 reasons why I regret not going to Bath for university...

So... I went to Southampton last thursday and then we had a great dinner party.. My aunt was awesome man! She cooked dinner for like 12 people in like 2 hours? and there was soo many good food, we had chicken curry, salmon with some kind of spices, baked cauliflower and broccoli, greek salad and soo much more.. Had red wine tht nite too! Hahaha..

Anyways, this post is suppose to be about Bath. What happened was this trip was soooo last min! Me and aunt just got up and we were like "so whats going on today? On for Bath?" But both of us were sooo lazy coz we got to bed like wat? 4am!! It was crazyyy~~ I wanted to go to Bath, coz i wanted to see what i missed out.. If you dont know, Bath was like my 2nd uni choice just after Manchester.. Anyhow, we decided to go and the coach was about to leave in like 1 hour.. So we jumped out of bed, quickly got our showers and then got ready to catch the bus.. When we got to the coach place, we were like 10 mins early before the coach leaves, sooo what we did, we went to Asda cafe, quickly ate breakfast in like 5 mins, go back to the coach place, got our tickets and hopped on the coach to Bath... On the way, the countryside is beautifull.... let me show you...

So, we reached Bath like around 11ish am? And then our adventure in Bath begins... BATH WAS AMAZING!! ITS SO BEAUTIFUL THERE!! I regretted a bit as I was convincing myself that Manchester University is one of the top 3 schools of chemical engineering in the UK.. But really, bath is soooo awesome, the scenery.. We walked around like sakai for a while until we saw the hop on hop off bus, so we got ourselves tickets and went sightseeing... You can see more pictures in my facebook tho..
Those are just a bit of Bath, check out my facebook pictures if you want to see more.. We spent the whole day just sight seeing and taking lots of pictures and most importantly, SHOPPING!!! hahaha!! Aunt got herself a new red bag whereas I got myself new boots! heehhehe.. soooo happy... I've been wanting boots for soooo long already and I got them from this shop call "Pink Lemons", cool name eh? hehehe.. At Bath, I found this shop which had my name "May" on it, it was "Alexandra May" but yea, you all know im "Annie May"... So close yet so far~ ehehehe.. We went around a bit and when we got hungry, we went to this space called "Sally Lunn", somehow it was a cafe and kitchen museum which was sooo cooL! People were lining up outside to get seats, however, I been a smart person, I cut the queue and went to sit on the seats.. HAHAHA!! OPPSS!! I didnt know we had to queue actually, i thought it was a self service thing.. hehehe.. Can you see the "Alexandra May"? I had Sally Lunn cream tea and auntie kian had The Bath cream tea... They were both awesome.. Never had clotted cream before and it was really nice.. Hahaha..

During reading week...

Last week was reading week, basically where we should stay at home and read.. But instead of studying which I WAS SUPPOSE TO DO... I went off to southampton to find my dear auntie kiannn.. Hahaha..

Thats my dear aunt kian on the Hop on Hop off Bus in Bath.. Well, I went to southampton and the first thing we did was have star bucks!! Hahah.. Later on, we went to asda since she had to get some stuff for her last min party.. Was nice since I met lots of new friends(who were my aunt frenz) and then it happened to be richard's birthday the next day!! Happy Birthday Rick!!

We kept talking till like 3am i think since it was suppose to be Mariam's farewell. Everyone was like "Mariam, don't go, we'll miss you!!" Even some of them cried!! hahaha.. Eventually, something surprising happened and I will let you know! Hehehe.. Anyways, there's more to say but I'm sooo new to this blogging thing.. It feels weird to be writing posts! Haha.. Maybe will get the hang of it soon?? We'll see..

The Beginning...

Hey all,

Hmmss.. Was thinking whether I should start blogging or not and then decide, what the heck, just do it. Been travelling a bit recently so wants to write the high points and low points of each places I guess? And how "exciting" my life have become ever since I came to Manchester, UK.

Been enjoying a lot since I've arrived and haven't started studying like a proper university where I should be hitting the books every now and then.. But Yeah.. Reading week just ended yesterday and you'll be surprised how a week can just leave just like that. I went to southampton to visit Auntie Kian, and eventually, during my 4 days there, I went to Bath, Oxford, Beaulieu, New forest, Portsmouth and Lyndhurst. Will put up a bit of pictures but then full pictures can be available in facebook =).

Enjoy and thomas.. hehehe.. I finally decide to blog!! *SURPRISE!*
