my 100th post!!
everyone congratulate me! :)
i just spent my whole saturday at home. it feels great to me! i know it sounds damn weird, like who thinks staying at home is fun right? but i havent had this luxury in ages, and am thus embracing it!
woke up on my own pace at 11am, and went to work out in the gym! (i aint feel no thinner damnnit!)
came back bout 2+pm, then immediately msn video-ed my family, who are still happily celebrating
cny back home! no fair!
bout 4pm, attempted to study... but to no avail! was like partially chatting online while doing maths.. man, ive really no discipline! :(
and i dunno what i did, its 3.02am now? but im feeling happy cos its been ages since i chatted with so many ppl and all! talked to many old friends and lse-ians! feels good to actually catch up once in a while. havent been socialising much hehe! and since i cant go out for lunches and all, the only other best alternative is to go online eh! hahah!
anyways, was invited to
chris' open house last night. his new place is the bomb man! just 4 stops after king cross, and only a lil <100pounds a month! and the environment is lovely and his house is cosy and his housemates are nice (according to him). so happy for him!! :)
since it was the first big party since he moved in, he and his housemates invited friends over, and my goodness- there were
so many ppl from
so many countries!! when we first arrived, we met this japanese girl yumika (i think) who is a fan of malaysia and the malay language! thats definitely a first for me! she bombarded hel and i questions on msia which we gladly answered! our country, must feel proud right!! :)
also, besides meeting christelle, seb and puru, there were sebs housemates, their teacher and many other ppl la (from japan, korea, america and all over france) cant remember half their name after only one day, so confusing!! but it really felt like an international thing! haha.
sebs housemates
the girl is really quite open la, she was putting her leg up high even when wearing a skirt!
i passed my cam to this guy, suppose to take picture but my cam was in video mode, so vid it is! ;)
puru, me, french dude, christelle
i think the french dude is trying to hit on her! :P
then i was talking to sebs and chris teacher (forgot his name). its like, hes from costa rica, shifted to paris for a few years and since the last 3 years have been coming up to london once a week to teach! he even interviewed bill gates once cos he has some connections with microsoft! hmm. while talking, i was constantly sharing my big fat packet of crisp with him hahah, so that i will eat less :P
IT student-parttime-teacher, seb and his friend enjoying! (no idea who took this pic!)
hel and i are such lousy drinkers! both of us shared like an orange vodka and an orange malibu and we already got so red!! i felt quite horrible after a while, so went to puke in the toilet. (his toilet is so clean omg im impressed!!)
thats when i saw christelle and lucy (??) chatting on the stairs and of course, went to join them!
lucys from cannes in france and from what im told, its hot and sunny all year round and more importantly, its famous for its film festivals! shes seen johnny depp, angelina jolie and brad pitt up close before OMG!!!
and, shes only 17 and is actually on her hols.. i was so shocked cos i thought she was around our age, 19-20ish! really such a friendly girl as you know some angmohs can be stuck up sometimes! :)
pk, chris' korean housemate thinks we're like posing for some kinda band!
time passes by just like that when we were happily chatting and enjoying. it was a lil after 1am that hels and my "asian flush" receeded, and it was safe to go home! haha. before that, a group pic!
hel, i, puru, seb

WAIT!of course, the pic wont be complete without the host himself! :)
all in all, i really enjoyed my time there. chris was so nervous at first cos there were so many ppl and he wanted to make sure everyone felt comfortable. but yeah it was worth all his effort! i felt more exposed to all the different cultures out there, and the things other ppl do for their own reason.
cant wait to go to paris during easter!!!
thats all for now, hugs! <3

ahh, omg.
finally.after god knows how long, ive turned my blog (yet again) into a simple, basic and easy-to-read one. sometimes in life, the simpler the things the better :)
and omgomg, take a look at my archives! dates to waaay back since june 05, never realised! i amaze myself sometimes ;p
i am a free girl now! my last day @ starbucks today! haha, yes i can foresee your reaction by now- "but she jsut started riiight!"..
to keep it short, (starbucks = 20 hours a week > hours of lecture and class combined) -> not enough time = really slacking in studies -> nervous and stressed yvonne!
its no good for me, altho it was really a great experience working there! :)
my boss, antonio and i!
anyways, cny celebration was quite good here in london. being typical msians (you know laah), food will always be our main priority. so i had cny dinners on wed, thurs AND fri! (working on weekends boo!)
i was working on wed tilll 9pm as well. cant believe i missed the "hoi-chionging" of the cny eve reunion dinner!!
and because i was in a rush to go back, i slipped and fell on my butt in work while cleaning up! now if only my big butt was there for a reason. but nope, the fats didnt prevent my butt from hurting. it is not sunday and my butt STILL hurts! surviving with juns counterpain cream! :*(
anyways, this was what they had!
really malaysian food!
the chinese sausage thingie! lap cheong! and fried popiah!
hustle and bustle @ 3.22
i have
no idea!
we then proceeded to juns room for some drinking session! i shot this smirnoff with jonson- only that it wasnt really a shot. was prob 3/4 shots tog. it really looked very little at the beginning (maybe cos the cup was big). everyone was like 0_o but i still insisted that it was little.
so after 10 mins, i became this.
cannot tahan le! the alcohol suddenly just went up and i was sooo dizzy! bleh, damn uncomfortable lor, so i went back to my room - only to watch gossip girls! *quite addictive la drunk also wanna watch :P*
of course, not going back before taking some pics!
thurs was night out for us! the 16 of us had dinner at golden dragon, and it was really good and expensive! hahaha! 20 pounds per person le! :S
chinese celebrating cny in chinatown with the atmosphere!
the early birds who were actually not that early ;P
hsienloong, jun and xiong doing their thing ;)
pork leg something something with the hair thingie! so cny-ish!!
bravo if you actually understood, haha!
my babe and i!
yisiin in cheongsam looking damn bloody hot!
the girls!
our half of the table!
jonson, me, hel, yisiin, agnus, loong, jun, xiong, zhuhann, frank
the other half.
frank (again), cheamingzhuhann, eevien, amanda, michelle -(huiyingbenny)
after dinner, we retired to my halls common room to play jonsons poker set!!!! buy in was 5 pounds.
i had the beginners luck man! look at my pile at first. lost all of em at the end!
i had the sudden urge for krispy kreme! maan, its so unhealthy living near tesco!
heart shaped doughnuts for valentines!! <3
the girls in the whirl!
amanda, yisiin, kim, cheaming, eevien, agnus, hel and i!
on the third night (youre getting sick of all the food arent you!), it was another potluck at holborn, and hel and i were suppose to cook curry chicken! did kapitan chicken in the end!
2 pots le!!
at that time, we really hoped that it'll turn out well, so we decided to..
"jaga" the chicks the whole entire time ;P
as usual, we were running a bit late. teehee, you know girls! we had to carry the two freaking pots for 15 mins to holborn okay! damn heavy! but when i reached there, it was all so worth it!
another totally-malaysian feast!
xiong, michelle, reuben, benji, kareen
food
TADAH, almost gone! everyone praised our chicken ok! :)
yisiin and i!
she has got to have the hottest body on earth la, seriously! big and small,
at the right places!
i put this picture up for a reason. before going, i attempted a white speg top and my google jeans. it was omfg absolutely hideous. cant wear speg tops, hands too fat; cant wear tight jeans, thighs too big. even wearing a normal tshirt and skirt is not a remedy (as you can tell).
thus, today, as of 11/02/2008, yvonne tee is officially starting her first ever diet! not just any diet, but a
VEGE DIET! only fruits and vege and water for a week, nothing else.
yes, absolutely nothing.
nothing you feed me shall falter my determination.
i am so sick of my bulging fats and ugly thighs and round face and fat arms and stretchmarks and spare tires. i know ive said that i rather enjoy food, but this is getting
out of hand!
thus the diet. wish hel and i luck :)
okays, will update more soon! my god, hope i'll have enough energy tomorrow and not die of starvation! ;P
byee~
xoxo, yvonne.
