Delayed Posts and Polo Rocks

Dear all, whoever reads this, and you.

Half Term in Edinburgh

So yeah, I went to Edinburgh for my half term break if some of you didn't know that xD And yeah, IF you read my previous post, I almost died getting there.

So yeah, here's on what I did in Edinburgh. I HONESTLY didn't do much xP Because like, most of the time I was just sitting around in the house bumming around, and I enjoyed it personally. :) Despite that, I DID certain things, so here's a list of em.

-went shopping for clothes and winter apparel
-had awesome food
-sat in MANY buses
-lost my camera and found it again
-tried Haggis
-went to MANY charity shops to look around
-visited Kirsten and stayed a night
-visited Jade and stayed a night
-recorded 2 songs with Jade while staying the night


And yeah, I guess that's pretty much about it. I'm definitely NOT going to be putting up pictures here, so here's the link to the photo album on Facebook on my trip there :D

Turbulence

It was supposed to be a short flight to Edinburgh for my half term break to visit a few people. Kirsten, Jade, Rachelle and Aunty Sue. So, this evening (Friday evening) Uncle Paul took me to East Midlands airport to fly over to Edinburgh.





We were up in the air when suddenly the plane started shaking. I thought it was just the usual small lil, bumps when you're on board an aeroplane. But after a while, when it didn't stop, I started to wonder what was happening. At that time, the captain announced and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please remain in your seats and fasten your seat belts as we're experiencing a bit of turbulence".

It didn't stop and the captain's voice came on again. "Ladies and gentlemen, apparently we're experiencing a pretty serious turbulent zone, please remain seated and calm".......and that was the last we heard of him for a long time.

People started crying and some were turning their phones on to call family and loved ones. I seriously didn't think it was for real, but seeing the intensity of the people, I whipped out my phone and started texting my family and Angie. I told them what was happening and asked them to pray.

Things didn't get much better because the air stewardess' were all making sure people had their seat belts tight and secure and their seat was in an upright position. I realized that this wasn't something small...

You know how you watch movies and see people in this sort of situations? Yeah, it's true. I started telling my mom and Ming Han that I loved them, and apologized for everything wrong I did. And really, just to let them know, that in the event of me not landing safely, that I loved them very much and tell all the people whom I know and love, that I loved them as well.

We were up there for quite a while and even one of the air stewardess started tearing in her eyes. People were REALLY high strung and I was panicking as well.

After a long time, we finally landed and needless to say, I thanked and praised God for bringing me back down safely. I thank everyone who helped to pray for me and really, when you go through experiences like that, you learn to love and appreciate so much more.

I'm really grateful to be alive. And I just wanna say again, that I love all of you :) Thank you for being in my life.

A Real Macperience :P

Excuse the uber cheesy title, but well, I smiled to myself when I thought of the title of this post when I decided to blog what happened. XD

All of last week, I've had problems connecting to the internet in my accommodation for some particular reason. I was sick as well, so I decided to just use my handphone's 3G to make it a portable WiFi connection. Finally, when Uncle Chris passed me the new MAChine, and it still couldn't connect, I decided to take it to the college IT Department to get some answers >:D

So I got to the office, and asked for help after explaining my situation. To cut the story short, I was in the office for an hour and a half with literally the whole IT and tech-team. We were gathered and were surrounding my computer, and 3 other computers that had two screens each, monitoring all connections of the college server. It was pretty intense honestly, and it was pretty cool to watch them go through every option they could think of and do it.

We tore down connections and IP addresses. Restarted multiple connections and tried to connect with my computer. We failed. One of the guys attending to me said to me: "Pretty cool to have your very own IT and tech-team eh?" Lol. I was pretty honored to have like, 9 people attending to me :D

So finally, one of them went upstairs to the top floor to restart the main server. And they changed the IP address of the connection of The Gables. Anyway, I went off for class and the guy said he'll let me know wen the internet is back up.

I got home after class and checked out the connection. It was working :D ANDDDDDDDDDDDDDD...it was so much faster. I asked my neighbor on how the internet was. And she said that the internet was down for 2 hours during the afternoon..and no one knew why...


Or did they? :P

A Visitor from Malaysia

So hello people. How art thou? I'm blogging with my new machine and I'm pretty ecstatic about it :D It was brought here by Uncle Chris :D (some of you know him as ANC' Lead Pastor and Elder). I was pretty happy to see him as well, because he left to somewhere before I came to UK.

As you guys might have known, because I was Facebook-ing about it, I was down with a fever from Monday night. Thankfully, I got better yesterday (Wednesday) and was well enough to go out for dinner with Uncle Chris and his sister and her husband, and their daughter.

So at about 6pm, they came to take me from The Gables, to Leicester to have dinner at a Chinese restaurant. YAY MAN! I was pretty happy when we got in, and were greeted by an elderly Chinese man who spoke Cantonese. It was a small little restaurant which had an upstairs area as well. I didn't really take a picture of the place because I didn't wanna seem 'jakun-like'

I'm not sure if you've noticed or realized this, but every time you're somewhere NOT in Asia, and you see other Chinese-looking people, it's like..you've seen an angel or something. Because when we walked in, all the Asians were staring at us with shimmering eyes. I kid you not.

Anyway, we sat down and ordered some dishes. I have to say that I almost wept with tears of joy when I tasted the roast duck. Not so much because it was insanely great, but rather because it reminded me of home and the Hokkien Mee shop, Uptown DU that we always go to for dinner :/ AIYOH. I think I'll just let the pictures do the talking.

Here ya go:
