mug

first thing i see every morning when i get out of my room.
my flat mate is a poser.
although just a few nights ago,i stuck some post its on his door because i found my keys on his bed.
wetherspoons.lovely ambiance,not so lovely burgers.
cheap cocktails for kiamsiap students
ASIANS! :)
Wills memorial at night
what cures a cold,rainy night-warm chips.
oh yeah,chris got smashed.
went shopping on a rainy day w melissa and pia at cabot circus.

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy-i survived flat dinner!
ie cooking dinner (rogan josh,garlic rice,indian salad) for the 8 of us in our flat..All By Myself (fine,dan chopped two onions,and mat chopped some garlic)


"i have to say this LiSha,and i actually mean it as a compliment:you cook like an Asian"
"yeah,and ,well to be Fair,Li Sha is more English than Asian isnt she?"
*applause*
"thank you Li Sha.that was good Asian..Malaysian Chinese food."
"it was INDIAN food,"

AND nat came back from NY with a whole bag of sweets.
our flat shared some bertie botts' every flavour beans ( i had vomit,grass,dirt,pepper,buttered popcorn and cherry) and some chocolate and some toxic waste (sour stuff) and some marshmallow fluff and some snake-candy and some sugarcoatedwatermelonshaped-candy and some Pez..
so yeah,now my tongue hurts and im having tons and tons of hot water to wash away the sugarness.

oh oh,ANNDD ive finished my property tutorial essay ! :)
AND im quite prepared for my law&state presentation already.
so now i only have to prepare for my next 4 tutorials this week ..which isnt Too Bad.

so another YAY for yet another Eventful Weekend!

04 November 2009

just another post.

contract tutorial was cancelled today,and i have no classes tmrw.its a very,very long weekend.the workload is dreadful.what do we mean by monist and dualist systems? i have no idea- i know the English follow the latter and the Germans,the former. who is We anyway ,and why must We go about defining systems ? We is causing Me a headache.

i need coffee with no milk.how Can you drink Instant Coffee with no milk?! i want to say its called Nescafe O back home and that a bout a million other people drink it too,every single day at the Mamak.but i know it wouldnt make sense and my "its because im Asian" excuse has gone bad.
like the potatoes in the cupboard that smelt like cat poo. (whoops)
in the kitchen,kayleigh screams my name over and over again - i always hear your name being called out the most in this flat- lishaaa,lishaaa,lishaaa.mat is back from lectures and gem is taking a nap and mike is in his room and nat is in New York and both anwen and dan are probably still at lectures.Your White Friends! they call themselves. My angmoh friends. my orang putih flat mates.
my coffee is getting cold,and im getting sick of staying in this room with my books.I love Ali Smith,i bought D H Lawrence at Oxfam this afternoon. Second Hand Books are like stories within stories.shelves and shelves of old books and older books and some quite new books that people just didnt want to read anymore. i seriously miss studying literature and writing essays about characters-like my best friends,people i knew about so much more than i know about Ai Ching or MiSha or Ben.or Edward,even .
ive been sent away to Study,but Public Law is a pain : the Crwon's preroagtive in foregin affiars deos not incldue pweor to canhge hte Law. Deep Sigh.in my room,theres A big tub of Rocky Road and a tumbler of warm water.munch,munch as i read about Amber and Astrid instead.
its 5 in the evening,and i still cant answer the question : in the domestic British context is international human rights law different from other forms of international law?domestic British (like tea and scones and cider?)-why am i learning the British Constitution? The British dont know the British Constitution.Im Chinese!(Malaysian?)
so i walk.its dark outside but im going for a walk . the streets are quiet. two women and their children. a girl in pink pushes a little pink toy pram. teenage boys light cigarettes and then ask each other about last night. I walk alone
and enjoy the lights of the shops.I smell Pizza.i had a slice today,Mike offered me some of his lunch. Pia would like that. oh i spend so many days with Pia.who would have thought? I believe in karma. I know its getting darker because the skies arent purple anymore,but dark blue.very dark blue.It gets windy and i go inside a warm WHSmith.i look outside, i love it.i love the cold,and i love how the weather just changes. the leaves from the trees on the way to Tescos have suddenly gone missing. fallen. Its Fall ,after all. its so different from back home. its so special.
Theres no noise,just cars swooshing past so quickly..and so many of them,its difficult for me to get back. or maybe i just dont want to,so i stand there and wait. a squirrel actually runs past me. its so different from back home.its so special.

what exactly is International Law ?
im an International student,and im studying Law.

knock knock.its Dan.he calls me his Little Asian Friend."Hi ".he hugs me. "how was your day?mine was pretty shit."
i laugh.

hello Bristol.

consideration

because i promised Mei that ill upload pics of the posters she gave me :) :

Carm,i didnt wear the halloween costume u gave me in the end.
no idea what to do with the cloth.so i just hung it up .haha
the witch's hat is what gemma found on the floor during halloween.she also found two woolen scarves,and a bracelet.


on the way to clifton village from Goldney

Regent Street,Clifton :



tesco express,where i used to do most of my groceries.
Yay,goldney hall
i love bristol la.

matt: "would you support China or Malaysia in football?"
dan :"shed support England!"

and the sad thing is,he actually was right.
but i just couldnt admit it in front of them

i should read Translations again and sulk about the lost of identity.

8 cases to read before tmrw.grrrrrrrrrrr

on a brighter note,i bought a second hand national geo from Oxfam for only 40p !

i love how people(old,young,ugly or beautiful) here still love the Beatles.

02 November 2009

I once hated sundays.

We just had another flat dinner :)

no pictures this time.It was Mike's turn and we had lasagna,salad,some garlic bread and wine..
while watching Football.
i know.after 9 months,i might turn out being more English than before.
HAHA.
but its so good learning about English Football , English Tea,English Brown Sauce and English school lunches before Jamie Oliver.

its my turn next week and i have absolutely no idea what to prepare for my angmoh friends.i'll worry about that later-time for more contract law .

bathrobe

ok first of all ,thats Daryl.the Asian in all of my classes.Although Singaporean and Kiasu(haha!),hes really nice.
he knows too much about whats gng on in class..which is a huge advantage when you've had accidentally started daydreaming about what to cook for dinner during a tutorial.

today,i had a totally random night out with Joanne,Melissa and Wei Khai..
or as my flat mates would know them as one of 'lisha's asian friends whom she rather hang out with than us'
(Which isnt true btw)

the coronation tap ! *click the link*
yummiest cider.
oh before we could go in,we had to show id.
so i showed the guy my ISIC(without fear because im ALREADY 18 years old!),but he was like "do u have any other sort of ID? like a student card?"
so i showed him my student card,bt i dont get why he preferred that because my ISIC shows my birthdate and ugly face but my student card only shows my ugly face.
melissa and i at clifton suspension bridge.
because it was dark,we couldnt really see much..
bt still a gorgeous night view.
(made me miss being at taman melawati w F4 though!)

thats wei khai - crazy nice. we bumped into him on the way so we just ajaked him to come along. thank god too. its always sweet to have a guy .esp a guy with a bicycle.


joanne :"There! I ASIANISED the shot for you!"
we crossed the bridge and hanged out in wei khai's extremely huge room for a bit.

tmrw morning,im studying contract law :D I LOVE CONTRACT LAW

..very nearly as much as i love literature.
Seriously.

im a huge nutella fan.and because i have no mommy to stop me,i literally snack on Nutella..and finish 200g in a few hours. you know,first time i had nutella was in England years and years ago.i might just Die of Nutella-ness here. yummmmmmmmyy need to buy some more.

30 October 2009
