Confusing

Clubs day is always a good time to meet new people. I looked after ICF and got to meet some people who said they want to meet new people. Quite fun actually. I won't forget studies. I think I need to focus really hard this year. I was in one of my stats classes yesterday and it was so much harder than previous year. It's also because it is like the final year before you finishes your degree. Aah.. that is really scary. There's my geology lab which was quite confusing as all the topics are new. Of course, I would have to know the basic of the rocks. Sigh.. anyway, I think I need to go now as I got hair appointment.

Sleeping time


So I am moving out into a house with friends. And I am renting a house which is unfurnished. That means I would definitely need to buy furniture. The first thing that I would need to buy is a bed. That is the most important thing because you would need to sleep on a bed on the first night you arrived the house. You definitely don’t need other stuff on the first night. Isn’t it true? For those who have moved from house to house, they will definitely know.

So, I should probably refer to this website on beds. The beds shown there are so amazing and looks so high classed. There are leather beds, foam mattress, style beds, etc. There are really different types of beds from antique to leather beds. They also have bedroom furniture for those who wanted to decorate their room. There are the next day beds, next day mattresses and special offers on sale. I should start looking around if I really wanted to buy one when I move in. Even better, the delivery is free if the orders are more than £499. I think I probably will buy more than that as the house I am moving into is unfurnished.

Beds

Classes

Just thought I should drop a few words here. I started having classes yesterday and enrolling for the year. It was so hot when I arrived. I thought it would cool down a bit. My friend has said it was cold but it wasn't. It was only cold in the morning and hot during the day. Hot till I feel dizzy.
At the moment, I am still feeling dizzy and jetlag. I went to bed early. Oh by the way, know what? I guess I was just so blur till I put in the wrong side of the contacts into different eyes. No wonder the dizziness. So stupid of me. Today is the second day of classes and clubs day too. Hopefully there's more people joining ICF this year. Anyway, I better go now. Class starts at 9am.

Black Friday

Are you the kind who likes shopping a lot and yet feel that you don’t want to waste any money or feel that you burn a hole in the pocket when you shopped? Well, there is a black Friday website which can help you save money while you shopped. The black Friday is the day after thanksgiving and has a lot of items on sale for shoppers.

It is a hassle when you shopped and yet you have to stand in line. So shopping online is the best solution for those who hate to go out to the shops and be squeezed by the crowds while shopping.

By the way, this site offers email alerts for customers and would let customers know when the new black Friday ads has been posted. It is really consumer friendly and it is definitely useful when you are planning to buy lots of stuff for holidays, for example, Christmas.

So far, I haven’t found my favourite merchant as I haven’t browsed around properly. I am sure I will find something I like after I finish browsing around the website. How about you? What is your favourite merchant? Which one do you like? Tell me about it.

Still here

What a day to start with. I dreamt that my teeth are coming out bit by bit. It's not like one tooth coming out. It is more like the teeth has long strings which I can pull. And I really have no idea why I kept on pulling when I know that my teeth will be gone in minutes.
I did keep touching my teeth and some of it were gone already.

Ah.. just when I was about to pull more, I woke up. My alarm woke me up, telling me it is 9.30am. It's not that I don't want to sleep in. I wanted to get up because today is my birthday and I wanted to go online. I am so excited because my friends wished me happy birthday. One of my closest friends commented that I am getting fat.

I know, I ate a lot. I have been eating non-stop since I got back in November. Who wouldn't want to eat home-cooked food. I had a lot of cravings while I was away. So when I was back home, I listed out my cravings. Not pregnant, it's just that I wanted to eat. :)

Concrete Garages


When I first moved overseas to further study, I did not know how houses outside my country look like. I don’t think I expected to see anything different or the same. When I arrived in New Zealand, I was so surprised to see the houses there. It was really different. Each house has different designs. I am just amazed at how many the architecture can think of the designs for the houses. So last year, I travelled to England. This time I expected to see different type of houses. But I haven’t really seen a lot. The houses designs are really amazing. There is definitely difference between the houses in New Zealand and England.

One thing, so far I have not seen garages in London. Ok maybe not in big cities but probably more in smaller cities or towns. In New Zealand, some houses have garages and some don’t.
And I find that some houses are small and yet have no garages. I think those who doesn’t have garage for their houses should have one. Concrete garages can be an alternative. Since some places in New Zealand have strong winds blowing, I think concrete garages should be strong enough to protect the car and whatever things the family has inside.

Doesn't this looks amazing?

Debt free

Ever having problems with financial situation? So if you have financial problems, debt management plans can help. There is information on IVA advice, debt advice, downloadable debt help guide, debt consolidation, credit card debt help, debt management, citizen advice on debt advice, personal insolvency in Scotland, debt solution and debt help links.

They don’t charge you for the advice given or even pass your information to third party so there is no need to worry about anything.

What they can actually do is to cut people’s debts, often by more than half, freeze the interest that you pay eg credit card or stop creditor action against you.

So far, I haven’t had any financial problems. I am still a student so I still depend on my parents to support me. But let’s say if I were to have financial experiences, I would certainly go for the free advice debt management plans has.

By the way, there is a forum where people can chat among each other. You can ask for advices or give advices to each other. If you have questions, you can turn to the faqs for answers. If you cannot find your type of questions, you can always call the support. I am sure they will respond as soon as possible.

I just find this very amazing.

Travel things you like to know

So, you like travelling to new places to see wonders of the cities? Before this, travellers are probably sceptical about the places they are going to visit. I mean, who won’t be. I travel too and I would like to know what is there before I go to the places. Example, when I went to Milan, I expected to see spectacular views of the places, it turned out it weren’t what I expected. There were lots of vandalised walls, the underground trains were mostly vandalised as well. Definitely it is not what I expected. I think I expected too much. You should have my face when I saw those vandalised things.

Sigh, anyway, back to the topic. So you can read whatever was reviewed on travelling on The Innovative Traveller. There are reviews on telling you on lost luggage if you do lose yours. Or a review on how to deal with motion sickness if you have any. Now, don’t you think it is really good?

Maybe you would even like more to know about the secret lives of travellers. You would want to know where they have gone and what they have been doing, right? How about knowing where the entire lost luggage goes? You would be wondering if no one came to claim their lost luggage. If it is me, I would want to know.

Anyway, for short, the innovative traveller is definitely an exciting new travel resource for compulsive and curious travellers. They do cover a lot of topics which curious travellers would definitely read. Oh by the way, do you want to read a review on someone learning from people who lives in airport? I do because sometimes I wonder if people working in airports do stay there more than 12 hours. It is almost like living there because they work for more than 12 hours.

The Innovative Traveler


Accommodation

I wish to update on the findings of accommodation but so far, haven't really found any that we like. There's still some more but my flatmate hasn't seen them. Let's hope that the house she is going to see is good and satisfy both of us.

Definitely will update if I have news.

Let me describe a bit about Marketing Minefield. They aim to help entrepreneurs and small businesses to plan promotional strategy through providing expert articles and advice on almost all the promotional possibilities open to new businesses.

There are a lot of articles on advertisings ideas to student marketing which I find it very useful. I could even think of starting a business now and read more articles from Marketing Minefield on the marketing tips and strategies.

Maybe I can make the dream of having cousins' business...

Rants

Sigh, I am losing my mood each day. I am supposed to be excited because my birthday is coming and two friends are coming to London. I was excited to be going back to New Zealand for the start of the year. Actually I am a bit sad to leave the comfort of home. But at least I have a purpose to continue life. My studies.

Well, at least I haven’t lost my mood over blogging.

Reason for the loss of mood: my flatmate and I decided to move out after our homestay family bought a house which I assume to be far from university. They wanted to introduce some other homestay but we would be separated. So we decided to move out on our own.

My rants: I wouldn’t like to consider as homestay because we are big enough to look after ourselves. We only want to move into the place because there are two rooms and they include food in our rent. They set up rules for us as well. So that is considered as homestay. One more thing, I did not know anything until my flatmate told me. How come the homestay family never emailed me?

My wrong-doings: Maybe I did decide too quickly and did not even ask for more opinions. I should have been more careful and I do admit I am wrong there. Sorry for the problems caused but I should be allowed to let out my feelings here in the blog where I did say once that it is my place for ranting.

Decision: We decide to re-apply to go back to Ilam Village for our rooms last year. I have a feeling that we won’t be able to get our room type back. However, there are more rooms available in the brand new apartments. I don’t really like the new apartments because it is not central heating and there is no washing machine in the apartment. But what to do? It was really a last minute decision. Besides this, we also look out for rooms available outside. I have emailed them. The only thing to do now is waiting for reply and later setting appointment to see the rooms.

Don’t you think my font looks nice? Hehe..

Chinese New Year

During Chinese New Year (CNY), my parents and I went to Leicester Square to have a look at the celebration. It was really crowded. I could hardly walk properly among the crowded people. I nearly lost sight of my parents, I think. Anyway, we waited to see the fireworks at 2pm, then headed to Burger King for a late lunch.

Valentine's Day

Almost everyone seem to be blogging about Valentine's Day. Well, alright, I will wish everyone Happy Valentine's Day. Honestly, I don't feel anything on that day. I just feel that it is one of the many many days.
Sorry to make people feel down about me saying this but this is what I think. No, there's no nice photos of Valentine gifts like her, her and her. Anyway, for those who celebrate, have a great time.

Cathedral


This was taken at the Duomo Cathedral. I asked my cousin what is the real name and he said it was Duomo Cathedral. Don't blame me if it is wrong. No, I am lazy to search through internet. Well, the purpose of all these blog is to reflect my thoughts, not according to facts or anything from internet. The architecture is really nice. We were allowed to walk on the roof of the church in which D koko commented, he felt rude to walk on church roof. I have no comment for that.

21

Reading this cousin’s blog about hitting double-2 this year really make me think, I am turning 21 soon. I don’t think I sound or act as a 21-year-old woman. Woman? I thought myself more like a high school girl. Maybe the thought of others influences my thinking. Not that I am praising myself. It’s true as to what they said. I know those are compliments and I really appreciate very much. Thanks to them. It makes me feel young. At the same time, I really need to feel 21, quoting cousin.


Smorty

I have always like blogging so when there was a chance for me to earn money while blogging, I took it immediately. I did thought about this in the first place and I figured since I have always been blogging, I think I can maintain my blog so I decided to try it.

So when I saw smorty from my cousins' blog, the rest is history after that. I browsed around the website and found that smorty is a paid blogging site where I can get paid to blog about anything. The blog advertising is very good too.

So, I thought I should try this out. Smorty is a service connecting advertisers with bloggers. They have opportunity tasks from advertiser which bloggers can get paid to write about opinion posts and they will need to link
back to the advertisers' site.

I used to get teased about my written English. I always have problems with grammars and sentence structure. I started reading more articles and other people's blogs. I think doing this can help me. Also, if I choose to write more often, I could also improve my English. So I thought while I need to improve my English, I should take up Smorty to write more and also helping advertisers to advertise their things.

Modern Furniture

What a good opportunity. This morning, I just got a message that I have move out into a house. This could mean that I probably need to buy furniture for the rented house my friends and I are going to move in. So where am I supposed to go find the furniture while I am still not back at university to decide? Well, I was thinking that modern line furniture can help.

You see, when it comes to furniture, I prefer modern furniture. Maybe comfortable and nice. There is a great variety of modern furniture stock at modern line furniture. They have unique and exclusive models on colours and styles. One good thing is that they can deliver for me and it is fast too.

What I can do is, I just choose whatever furniture I like, get it shipped and when I go back, I don't have to settle any furniture already. Isn't this good? Plus, they also offer flat fee shipping cost anywhere for any order size. So it doesn't matter where I get it shipped to, it will be the same price, I think.

It's a lesson

Look at what happen to these umbrellas when my cousin and I took them out on a rainy, windy day? It’s a lesson to be remembered. Really, sometimes I think I don’t learn anything because I still bring umbrellas out though the wind is really strong.



Photograph enlargement

Anyone would love to have their family digital photographs enlarged, printed out and hang in their house, either it be the bedroom or the living room. I am not sure how some people may do it but that is me personally. I mean, you are often in the living room; either watching television or reading or doing something else and you would glance at the wall to see your family photograph, right?

When printing your photographs, you definitely need photographic paper because it provides the most accurate or direct reproduction of your image. Professional photographers often favoured them as it makes the photographs look nice and professional.

Bonded to optically clear acrylic, a wonderful, contemporary effect is created that is like having a photograph behind glass, but with no frame.

Therefore, we can rely on them to produce the best and confirm which photographic printing paper is needed for a certain photograph. They supply the relevant fixings together with detailed instructions as to how to hang your photographic print to its best effect.

Best of all, you can just email them. If you happen to have hard copy, you can just post to them. Actually, there is even a better one, just fill in the online form.

Colours

I went to the world's heritage museum in Liverpool last week and was looking at the Colours section. It was saying which is my favourite colour and I was to open the colour window. So apparently that is my personality. A little similar to my personality I guess but why would I want to believe in something like this?

Audio Visual Projectors

I think I have seen at least one projector in every lecture hall in my university. Seems like projectors are really important these days, maybe it was because lecturers use computers or laptops to project their lecture notes or slides for students. I do hope they use audio visual projectors because I think it is easier and lecturers don’t have to talk at times.

Anyway, I think I would like to have one for the use of office. I am sure working people do use projectors. So for those who work in office and in need of more projectors, I think reflex can help because they are a specialist audio visual company and provide high quality audio visual solutions to end user organisations in the public and private sectors. Their goal is to offer our clients solutions based around the latest technology and products and to deliver them to the very highest standards.

Apparently, you can design your own projector and they will install for you. Don’t worry; their engineers are all health and safety trained.

Have a look at the website and look around. They have products which you would definitely want to have a look at. You can contact them at the head office location or call at the telephone numbers for more information or fax them.

Fabulous

Normally when you stay in a hotel, you don’t really book a really fabulous hotel like this.


When I walked into this room in Milan, I was just so surprised that JY cousin booked a really nice hotel room for all of us. There are two rooms but the layout of both rooms is different. Unfortunately I didn’t get the other one. I didn’t change my phone’s time when I arrived in Milan but I changed my watch’s time. So, I set my alarm at 6.30am the next morning for breakfast. But half an hour before alarm, JY cousin called to ask if we were awake. I answered him, ‘But it’s not 6.30am’ and immediately realised that I forgot to change the time on my phone. *grinning sheepishly

Garden Buildings

Are you living in big city or countryside? If you are either living countryside or just anywhere where houses have spaces for gardening space, you should consider gardening. It is definitely good for environment because you probably have heard of global warming. Probably carbon dioxide makes the earth very warm so having a garden in each house does help a little to the environment.

Thinking about gardens reminds me of the empty space in my garden. I should put some chairs and garden table to make it lively. I like high quality wooden tables and chairs so I should consider garden buildings which combine the innovative design with the natural beauty of wood and glass; traditional materials combine with sophisticated technology to create a garden building with a difference.

Besides providing garden buildings, they also have high quality wooden furniture for office, gym or games room. By the way, you get to choose what size you like for your instead of them choosing for you. However, there are limited sizes.

The Garden Escape is available in a comprehensive range of standard sizes, our most popular being: 9.6, 10.2, 12, 13.8, 15.6, 17.4, 20.8, 23, and 27.3 square metres. We also offer a bespoke service which enables you to tailor the dimensions very much to your own requirements and allotted space. These start from 8 sq metres and go up to 30 sq metres.

Stonehenge

So, I didn’t blog much here since my cousins were here. I followed one cousin of mine to Stonehenge. It was nice to see those stones, it wasn’t just stones, and it is the world’s heritage. Taking the stone’s photo from an angle makes it so amazing. Just look at it makes your mouth gap in awe.

It is just such a wonderful view, isn't it?


UK casino online

Casinos just reminds me of those slots in there and once you insert a coin, press a button, you wait for the screen to show jackpot. If you are lucky, jackpot might come out and you are rich. Anyway, I am here to talk about online casinos where you don’t see those things. It is not so bad comparing it when you are playing in person. It just means you have more time for yourself to have strategies to win. The website, UK casino online, casino focus.co.ukoffers online casino reviews and listings of progressive jackpots which you can read or just browse through to get ideas or strategies. Plus, the website will guide you through the online casino bonuses and also teach you on how to cash in on those incentives. I don’t know if there is anyone helping you if you play the slots in person. You can even stay up to date with the current UK casino news and UK gambling information.

I was also thinking, for those who are working during daytime, you might be tired at night and it is a hassle to go out at night to the casino to play. So, with online casino, I am sure it will be easy as to switch on the computer and go on the internet to play just from the comfort of your house. Now, isn’t that good enough?

Childhood

Just the other day, my cousins and I were talking about my post on Captain Planet and suddenly we were talking about Power Rangers. I told them there are few types of Power Rangers, examples like power rangers time force, power rangers spd, mighty morphin power rangers, etc. Just now, I browsed the channels and found another type of power rangers called power rangers ninja storm. But hey, I wasn’t watching, I just had a look at the title of the programme. My cousins thought I was still into power rangers programme. No, I am not. It’s so lame to watch it but it just reminds me so much of the time I used to watch. I didn’t even realise there were so many types of power rangers.

Online Casino

I was in Liverpool yesterday when I saw casino in the city centre. I wanted to go in but there wasn’t enough time as it was time for me to head back to the bus station back to London. Now, this is the time when I thought, online casino is really a good place for me to start.

Joyland Casino has incredible bonus offers and promotions, starting with an $808 Welcome Bonus for new players. That is really good for me as I will be considered a new player when I joined. And if I have any questions, I could always refer to faq or the help section. So, I should just download the game and play. Hmm.. good.

Insurance

What is insurance? I found the meaning from thesite.org.

In simple terms, insurance allows someone who suffers a loss or accident to be compensated for the effects of their misfortune. It lets you protect yourself against everyday risks to your health, home and financial situation.

So if you ever want to buy insurance, there is a way for you to buy insurance online instead of going to an insurance office. This saves your time going in and out from the house and your money on transportation.

Insurance is here to protect you from all the worst things that could possibly happen to you. Insurance is a state of mind. Without it and you are always worrying, with it and you never have to worry about what will happen to your finances in case the worst happens. You need to feel safe, you need to guarantee your assets, you need someone to have your back, and you need insurance.

There are 4 types of insurance on EZ insurance portal, home insurance, auto insurance, life insurance and health insurance. Knowing that you have these to choose from and to buy, you won’t feel unsafe. By the way, there is even an insurance blog for you to read if you have any questions in mind.

Back

Have been on hiatus for far too long. Maybe not too long compared to the hiatus time in December. But anyways, I have lots to blog about right after I get back from another trip tomorrow. So stay tuned to read about it.

I didn't want to blog night after night, after getting back from the day outing because I was tired and I didn't have the mood. Besides, I want to spend time talking to my cousin. It isn't always I could spend time with her or the other cousin.

By the way, today is first day of Chinese New Year. Last night, we had CNY eve's dinner. My cousins' friends and two cousins were around for dinner which made this year's dinner merrier. I am glad there are more people. It is always merrier if there are more people.

Cash Advance

There comes a time when anyone, I mean just anyone will definitely need to have a payday loan so why not try out this cash advance where you can immediately have cash out to you when you really need money at that moment. The funds are deposited right into the account after you are done with applying and qualifying for a payday loan. This is quick and easy because, in many cases there are no documents to fax. They deposit the money electronically into your checking or savings if you want to know.
Really, these cash advances sites offer flexible payment options and discrete services that gets you the cash for your need.
So, don’t wait now and get it.

I like this kind of option because I always have the chance to go overseas but I do not have a lot of cash to splash for my shopping. Therefore, this is good for me.

I just came back from Milan yesterday and do you know, I spent so much money on my shopping till I ran out of money. Actually, I should have gotten the cash advance earlier on. Never mind, I still have the next times when I need it.

Online Casino

This online casino site is really unique, it has a blog posting about those online games and also has the online casino games there as well. It is dedicated to all online casino gamblers around the world. It is not only based in U.S. They also have unbiased online casino reviews and step by step guide on how to get started, also presenting the rules for all the popular games and best of all, guide you to the largest bonuses and the most profitable online casino games.

Sore feet

Second day of my cousin here, we were so tired from walking around the whole day. We even went shopping in the afternoon. We were planning to go back later and still walk around but decide not to after 6 as we were quite tired. Will definitely blog about it in the other blog when I am bored.

Writing done

I am starting new papers of second level geology this year. Actually, you do have to write essays for geology and that is where I thought that A-pluss comes in. They can help me to do some custom writing because I always find it hard to think of one particular topic to write for a question essay.
Maybe A-pluss can help me for my whole term paper writing. I mean, I know it's not that hard to write one essay, it is just that sometimes I don't know what else to write and what other information I should add in. Whatever assignment, they will sure help you with your term paper topic. A-pluss is actually a professional writing, editing and proofreading service. So, I think I might want to go for it as I can refer those written essays when I want to write a new one or even practice writing for my final exams.
