23th November 2009 - something from my heart

Sorry for not updating for days, it because I have been suffering in tough days. The only thing I can do and let myself relax is watching HK TVB series.

*****

Since you lived in US and now living in UK; which country you like the most?
I got this question from many people since I started my life in London. I didn't know how to answer this question before. But now, I am very sure to tell everyone of you, I like US more than UK.

Why?
The main reason:
American is nicer even though British famous for their polite. For me they are FAKE.

And most of the things in America is bigger than Britain.
Example:
1) Bigger streets (if you has experience drive in both country, you understand what I meant)
2) Bigger cars (because the street in Britain is narrow, so it not a good idea has a big car in Britain, that's why they invented smart car)
3) Bigger houses (I think because US got more land)
4) More places to visit (every states in US has its unique; very fun to travel and visit)
5) and etc...

My current host family didn't give me homey feeling and some misunderstanding occur between me and them; I can't wait to leave. I am counting down to go back Malaysia: count down 76 days

I have been leaving my home country Penang, Malaysia since January 2007. I will be back to Malaysia for Chinese New Year, from 8th Feb 2010 to 25th April 2010.

My friends asked me, after 25th April 2010, where will I be?
Actually I will come back to UK again. Why I decided come back UK since I am not really like UK. A main reason lead me to make this decision is I haven't finish my Europe backpacking. (My previous planning was finish travel the Europe countries before I fly home. But, if I do that, I miss the opportunity to celebrate Chinese New Year with my family. I have been missing from them 3 Chinese New Year.) So I decided to go back for Chinese New Year, after I done my year with my current host family.

The countries I visited in Europe: Ireland, France, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden, and next month trip Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg and Germany. (These countries just a small percentage of the whole Europe.) So, I will come back UK earn some money, then finish my Europe dream, since my UK Working Holidaymaker Visa valid until January 2011.

In these 3 years, many things had change.

The huge change that upset me the most is mental support from my dad, from fully support to disagree my action. I am very upset about it. I do understand that a girl like me need to settle down. He worry about me. But my dream just like a drug to me, I am addicted to it. I don't want to let go.

I knew I will regret in future of either decision I make...
To settle down: I will regret why I let go my dream when I was young.
To follow my dream: I will regret when I stay single and alone after years.

Nothing is perfect in this world. Everything has its black and white...

p/s: You might feel hard to understand what I wrote in this post, please forgive me, I just write out what in my mind without organize them.

Tree Planting

Have you ever plant a tree? I was very excited when I heard about the activity. London Fo Guang temple organized the tree-planting in cooperation with the Woodland Trust. Actually is quite hard, because the soil isn't soft. At the end, I planted 7 trees ONLY, shamed on me~ :p

Venerable (法师）also joined in together.

(right) Kikey said, "See, this is the tree that I planted oh~" :p
(left) My best friend's brother, just arrived London not long.
p/s: Look at the shoes that on our feet. I was wearing wellies (to protect from mud) and he was wearing slipper with socks. :p

# Hopefully can go back visit the trees in future

Nov 5th = Bonfire Night = Guy Fawkes Night

Guy Fawkes Night or Bonfire Night is an annual celebration on the evening of 5 November. It marks the downfall of the Gunpowder Plot of 5 November 1605, in which a number of Catholic conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament, in London, United Kingdom.

The story was:
In 1605, a group of a dozen or so used their religious allegiance as an excuse for extreme terrorist action. They attempted to blow up the government and the monarch in the Houses of Parliament but were foiled. Guy Fawkes was one of a group of plotters, he tried to assassinate King James I by plotting to blow up the House of Lords. But he had the misfortune to be caught in the act and is therefore the one most closely associated the Plot. He was hanged, drawn, and quartered. It's traditional to burn an effigy of Guy Fawkes each year on that date in the UK.

Hope you enjoy the last minute firework that I watched last night~
