THANK YOU God!
THanks for the sun!!

This is only 1 Nov
and it's already negative

I thought somebody told me that Coventry will not go under 0 degree.
LIAR.

Today before I went out
I didn't check with the weather forecast
so basically I was walking in the wind with one sweater on only
Luckily seems that I don't have any pneumonia symptons up till this moment.

So
Maybe Lau A is right.
The autumn in Britain is colder than its winter.
At least we hope

(Anyway, I like cold weather!)

This is my Life, not yours

Look how desperate I am
I tried to play with my own shadow last night
anyway
I had a great time (!)

 

Yes
The sun now goes down at 4:30pm
And I will be 8 hours behind HK time
Every now and then
I am enjoying my solitude
and Play with it.

 

Today my dearest JimJim phoned me!
Actually I was quite blue in the morning
but the phonecall has definitely exerted some miraculous effect on me!
I was like a songbird afterwards!
Congratulations JimJim!
You are my REAL brother (in terms of your good results in RS )

How I missed my family when the sun sets so early in here

Thanks to Dearest Cerys
These are now mine

 

Some Recaps of my trip to Nottingham to visit Dearest Lau A and Yeung T (with guest of honor Wong C)

Can you believe that? On Saturday morning, I went out at THIS dark!!! It's 6:45 in the morning I guess.  But the sky just won't turn bright until 8am.  And it's like there is a SWITCH or something, the sky just "turn on" all of a sudden at 8am.  No intermediary.  British.

I am really sorry, Thomas.  You were a good cameraman! (People dressing up like in ancient RobinHood time~~~ Nottingham Castle@Once-in-a-year Robinhood Festival)

Can't-be-more-typical British Sunday scene @ Wallonton Park in Nottingham (with Larger-than-human deers)

Nice pair of legs, aren't they?

 

OKOK
The weather in here started to get really nasty
BUT lucky me!
I managed to take some sunshine photo before these days gone~~~

I can't believe it!  The sunshine is never too much here!!!

Really.  Can't tell how beautiful it is when the weather is real fine.  I mean, I love my campus and the place I live.

Lonely, but awesome.

Whistle for the Choir    by The Fratellis

Well it's a big big city and it's always the same
can never be too pretty won't you tell me your name
is it out of line if I was to be bold
and say you would be mine
And though I may be a beggar
and you may be the queen
Though I may be a downer I'm still ready to dream
And it's three o'clock the time is just the
Time it takes for you to talk

So if you're lonely why do you say you're not lonely
Oh you're a silly girl I know I heard it so
it's just like you to come and go
And know me no you don't even know me
Your so sweet to try oh my you caught my eye
A girl like you is just irresistible

Well it's a bit bit city and the lights are all out
But it's as much as I can do you know to figure you out
And I must confess my hearts all
Broke in pieces and my head a mess
And it's four in the morning and I'm walking along
Beside the ghost of every drinker here
Who's ever done wrong
ANd it's you woo hoo who's got me going
Crazy for the things you do

So if you're crazy I don't care you amaze me
But you're a stupid girl oh me oh my you talk I die
YOu smile I laugh I cry
ANd only a girl like you can be lonely
ANd it's a crying shame if you would think the same
A boy like me's just irresistible

So if you're lonely why do you say you're not lonely
Oh you're a silly girl I know I heard it so
it's just like you to come and go
And know me no you don't even know me
Your so sweet to try oh my you caught my eye
A girl like you is just irresistible

The trouble with love is

I dedicated this entry to the one I love
of cos that particular one
you know who I mean

A box from Hong Kong with no simplified Chinese on it!

Wow~~~ Doraemon's box!

Your handwriting hasn't change a bit, just more ugly

So you two finally meet yourselves!

Kero kero kero kero...Tama tama tama tama...resonance together
(Pumbaa: Can we eat some bugs first?)

I can't believe it! You are killing me mate!

How I wish you were here

 

A little updates on my room
since I have received my parcels from home finally
I have made it a bit more "home" than before

There's a bit of "dyed hair" on the top of their heads
(Cactus Twins: We are from Nottingham!)

Yeah! My own beddings! Zoo!

Ric..ric..Rice-cooker!  And on the right are my Chinese herbal tea packs!!!

A comparison of my working area before and after

 

Have watched "Little Miss Sunshine" in Arts Centre last night
Love it so much
Yes
everybody pretend to be normal.

A hilarious yet moving story about an every-now-and-then malfunctional family.
And I particularly like the "rolling-BUS"!!!!
In fact I feel that this movie is quite a must-see
touches your heart instantly

 

Upcoming movies in arts centre:
The Queen (how dare! the real one hasn't die yet!)
The Departed (hahahah....陳永仁 and 劉健明 played by de caprio and matt damon...really no comment)
Marie Antoinette (The eyes of Kirsten Dunst really kills)
The Wind that shakes the Barley (Must-see)
All the King's Men (Jude Law and Kate Winslet, though I don't like Sean Penn too much)
Breaking and Entering (another Jude Law, with Juliette Binoche)
The Prestige (Wah! Hugh Jackman and Scarlett Johansson and DAVID BOWIE! Playing magics and throwing some oranges!)
Scenes of a sexual Nature (Hello! Ewan McGreggor! And I guess this time he is also "Nude"!) (Anyway)

They are also showing Kekexili here!
What a good choice!!!

巴塞羅拿拿拿拿拿~~~

wow
Finally have my FIRST football viewing in UK!!!
Tonight the SUPPOSEDLY great match of UEFA
between Chelsea FC and FC Barcelona.
So disappointed.
I mean though Chelsea scored, both of them weren't quite in their shape!
ESP. Ronaldinho! Has he been to a club before the match AGAIN?
I am not a fan of both clubs, but I just wanted to enjoy the match!
My Spanish friend definitely supported Barcelona, but they really sucked in this match!
Anyway
it's not one of those "Dead or Alive" match
so we'll see.

I wish I could watch Liverpool or Arsenal some other times!

 

特別通告：
peter仔（個人覺得呢個稱呼好80s）
你原來去左加拿大讀書？
真係好好好久無見
我MSN係iris_cyp83@hotmail.com
你add我我地再慢慢傾
我而家臨老去左英國讀書

尋晚訓唔著
於是上左amazon.co.uk去驗證下我張debit card究竟買唔買到書
驗證方法如下：
1. 選書
2. 付款
3. 輸入郵寄資料
4. 成功購入
就係咁
我為左想試下張debit card掂唔掂
而買左30 pound書
（註：係英鎊唔係重量）
30pound即係大概450港元
在香港應該買到4-5本英文書左右
但係我已經買到9本書
真係得人驚

其實
我好想買gerrard本autobiography
不過而家只有hardcover
而本人唔想捧本咁重既書回港
所以唯有等了又等
仲有jamie oliver本新書
我揭過真係正到乜咁
amazon仲要做緊半價！
我覺得自己忍到唔買好犀利！
拍手！（算啦，買左我咪又係得個擺字，i will never be a good cook！）

英國乜屎都貴
淨係書好平
上網買仲要有free delivery
攪到人成日手痕痕想上去買d一世都睇唔完既書

 

講開訓唔著
其實已經持續左一陣子
我懷疑係衰多野諗
晚晚係咁諗係咁諗
攪到失眠
但係失眠亦要睡啦
我又唔係個d練仙唔訓都得既人

我而家又訓唔著啦
唔通有遲來的jet lag？

啐啐唸

這是可愛的台灣女孩給我的鳥結糖
上面寫的是台灣話諺語
「毋棄嫌，菜甫罔咬鹹。」
意思大概是「吃得苦中苦，方為人上人」
每一條鳥結糖都有一句唔同的諺語
我唔捨得食啊！

那碗奶白色的好似湯的物體
其實係我實驗薯蓉失敗後的產物
我稱之為「粒粒薯奶」
味道好似薯仔味既奶，仲有薯仔粒添
營養價值勁過娃哈哈

我家窗前的日落
我想開始習慣用「家」這個字去稱呼我的宿舍
我好喜歡那棵樹
西班牙人說他要把自己的小盤栽剪成那棵樹的模樣
我說你不如在房裡種一棵
他說我家有個農場種蕃茄種葡萄種樹乜都可以種
我說我家有茶餐廳有熟食要甚麼只會買不會種
他沒有說香港人真可悲

星期天那裡也沒去
你看我在做甚麼？
在這裡生活嘛
悠然自得無無聊聊是空氣和水
呵呵呵
我將我潛在的hea能量及無聊指數無窮無盡地導引出來

至於readings嘛

 

電影《children of men》
不知道香港會不會上映
是《y tu mama tambien》的導演alfonso cuaron新作
clive owen julianne moore還有michael caine
對不起
有時候michael caine總是讓我想起miss congeniality裡的glide, glide scene
這樣是否有點低裝

這部電影是講人類的infertility
當然
這是很political的話題
alfonso真的導得很震撼
我甚至有點相信那個生仔場面是真實的
到了最後
電影更很有宗教意味

「耶穌基督以衪的聖死及再臨去拯救萬民」

 

見cerys講開《lucky number slevin》
我又加把口
部戲真係好有「cult movie」的況味
當然
見到lucy liu的當兒
我立刻嘗試代入鬼佬（特別是美國人）的思想框架
無疑
故事佈局及拍攝手法都挺正
當然最正梗係josh harnett

在機上我還看了《nacho libre》
jack black的新片
修道阮修士學人去打摔角
我看在港上映的機會挺微
因為都幾爛
雖然爛得黎都會笑
但有ｄ頂佢唔順

 

一切還好
我正在努力地嘗試精進自己的廚藝
無論是一碟頹意粉還是蕃茄炒蛋
我都會用心做
當然
現在最想的是喝湯

Miss you finally

I miss you very very much.
Give me strength and joy please.

I am croaked

KbabyKbaby:  我真係有追看你的生抽王日記！
　　　　　　在英國讀書，有樣野真的好緊要，就係自己的意志同集中。
　　　　　　佢地可以真係乜ｑ都唔理你，就pack你0係度

　　　　　　不過我祝你的住宿環境會改善一點
　　　　　　無死酒鬼同bi bu 車
　　　　　　keep updating

 

我只係想講樣唔知算唔算無聊既事

英國隊似乎真係唔多掂
尋日對croatia個場
瘀到爆
robinson同neville真係perfect match
pass back個波去龍門
竟然可以構成nerville既第一個國際賽事入球
而robinson就更加之係瘀過俾人入大小龍門
唔該哂～

今日英國既大小報紙係咁踩mcklaren
真係哀哉

更哀哉的是
我似乎無乜機會有波睇
呢度連電視都無
就算我想睇cheap cheap cheap高雲地利隊
我都唔知佢地個場0係邊
天

不過個student union都ok勁
下下星期有the automatic黎玩gig
前幾日又有milburn同the captain
之後仲有the futureheads
都算唔錯啦


I really want the upcoming John Mayer, Damien Rice and Robbie.
But I don't even have Killers, Fratellis, Jet and KT Tunstall.
How sad.
I am in England.

Wonderful, Wonderful Times

Just want to record down a bit of my life here.

Today:

1. Breakfast (Met the lovely kitchen lady again, she has 5 children!)
2. Reading studying materials
3. Seminar (Found out a breaking news, I mean heart-breaking one)
4. Tesco Shopping (it took an hour, and I carried them back like a dog, walking for 30 minutes at least)
5. Tea+Lunch
6. Reading Magazine (Q Magazine & GQ, yes, I know it's a bit of pretentious)
7. Reading Elfriede Jelinek (Yeah! Finally I started to READ something seriously.  It is quite suffocating)

Plan to:
1. Cook 1 dish and headed to my friend's flat to eat together
2. Watch Movie ("Lemming" a French Movie)
3. Do a bit of reading again
4. Sleep (Harmoniously)

 

The last few days:

0. With Lau A and Yeung T spending the mid-autumn festival here in Warwick with me! And with MOONCAKES from Maxim's too! What's more I could ask for?  We hang around together really happily and we cooked a whole lot!

No one can beat that!  We were cooking rice in a PAN! and we have fried cabbages, fried broccoli with egg, and pork chop!  All in Hong Kong style!!!

1. Watched "Volver" (The kitchen paper with floral prints, soaked in blood.  It is beauty and brutality and psycho)
2. Watched "Confetti" (a British mockumentary, quite as funny as our "the Heavenly Kings 四大天王")
3. Queued up at HSBC, applying for a credit card, but after 2 hours of queuing what I got is "You can't have a credit card unless your account has been activated for 3-6 months at least".  THANK YOU.
4. Got some really cheap books from OXFAM.
5. Still waiting for my 34-kg parcel (Gosh! I need to collect it from postroom which is 20 minutes away from my dorm. I know I won't survive!)
6. Did my first laundry yesterday.  It was pretty cool that the clothes are nearly all dried overnight (then you can imagine how DRY it is in my room! The heater I guess)
7. Making cooking my habit
8. Read more on my campus.  There are just a lot of lawn and greens that I should exploit them a bit.  The environment is excellent for reading or just meditating (dreaming)!

I found that MUSIC is quite an essential-survival-kit here.  As the surroundings are always a bit TOO quiet and tranquil.
