vyjayanthi

I googled vyjayanthi on google and got this image, I guess I'll credi this to Silver's blog : http://thatsilvergirl.blogspot.com


I've been watching an Indian drama from Singapore online called vyjayanthi.
truth be told, this is the first time I'm even watching an Indian drama, since I'm a Chinese lol. But, I really like Silver Ang, hence I started watching it.

Since I'm in the UK, and I can't access some shows online, saying it's not available in my region, but luckily I was able to watch vyjayanthi.

For 3 days I've been watching it and have just finished Episode 25.

BUT, where are the other episodes?! I'm pretty sure there is at least one more, as I saw 'to be continued' whereby vyjayanthi's dad asked her to go back to China? ... What happens next? .....

Now I'll never know ... sigh :(

Can someone please tell them to upload the rest of the drama?? :(

That aside, Silver acted really well! I was really impressed! I was saying on facebook about it, and surprisingly I've got a friend who actually watched it as well and said about how impressed she is with Silver's acting.

She really deserves to win for the upcoming awards.

Somehow the life in the drama, I felt, kind of reflected a bit of her life not so long ago, when she was going through hard times, betrayals and all. But I'm glad that she has picked herself up and not let these setbacks affect her. Silver should know that she's so much better and I'm proud of her :) She will always be my idol! :)

Anyway, it's 2.42am now.

Goodnight!!

UPDATES

Hi!
Yesterday I went to Stuart's parents house and then together with his parents and sister and hi, we went to a pub restaurant for a meal.

everyone ordered a starter each with a main.

i had calamari for my start and had sea bass with mash potato for my main
it was so yummy yummy!!! hehehe. and orange juice :)

Thank you Mike for the meal!!! :) :) :)

after that we went back to their place and watched come dine with me, and then man utd vs bar with them in the living room lol.

3-1. oh well. what can i say LOL.

watched chuck after that and it was 11pm plus, they gave us the comforter sheets if we wanted to stay over, but we decided to go home.

so today we went to the metrocentre to paperchase, to buy materials for his mum's card for her birthday next week.

had subway and played some arcade and home sweet home.

Well, now I've finished all my assignments and dissertation, so I'm just waiting for graduation on 15 July now.

my parents are coming on 7 July, and I'll be meeting them in London, and touring round for a week before coming to Sunderland for my graduation and touring the north east for 3 days. Then, we're going to Scotland, then Paris, then to Amsterdam, and back to London and to SG! :) I will be back for a month.

during the last 2 weeks, bf will be coming over!! and then we will be returning to UK together. As, I will have to start my Masters in September :)

Thats all for now :)

I've done quite a few things like attend Laura's 21st and Tori's 21st birthday party with lots of photos but I had been so busy. But now I'll make time for that.

And also, Hannah has gone to Belgium to work, and also to be closer to her bf who's from Belgium. I miss her so much :( .

Oh well, ok.. talking to Jolynn on MSN now.. so i'm signing off! :) bye peeps :)

London Baby!

Yo! So, as you know we stayed over the night before at Stu's parents house and yesterday Mike ( stu's dad ) droveeee us like the speed of lightning to the train station LOL! because this stuart was trying to set up his computer and we were almost late! luckily Mike drove as fast as he could, speeding even. HAHAHA! .

Lukily we made it in time with 15 mins to spare. and we got toasts and bread/sweet for the train ride.

It was my first time taking 1st class, and it was just awesome! :). Free wifi, complimentary drinks and snacks, and you could order anything on the menu too ( but this you have to pay ) . lol.

Once we reached kings cross station we went to the toilet ( had to pay 30pence to get through the toilet entrance barrier! ) lol!

We then went to 'i can't remember where' but the place where he was supposed to have his meeting and I sat and waited for him at a Mcdonalds. I had a Grilled Chicken Salad in Mcdonalds :)

When he came back, we went to Oxford street to look around as I wanted to get something for his parents. Our initial idea was to go to another train station called Holland.. Something where there is a Singapore Chinese Restaurant lol. But whilst walking along Oxford Street we saw a Singaporean/Malaysian eatery and had a look. We decided to come back here to eat instead. I also saw a shop called Wasabi and they sold sushi and other japanese food! I took a tray and put 6 pieces of sushi in! lol! 2 salmon, 2 octopus and 2 mayo crabmeat. it was not bad! haha. We continued walking and saw Whittard of Chelsea! I remember buying this set of coffee for his dad for Christmas last year. and one of presents for Stu's birthady was a box of coffee too ( different from his dad ). And they loved it so much. So we went in and they had samples to try as well. I bought a tin of cranberry and erm.. I can't remember now. LOL. But it was instant tea. YOu could have it hot or cold. It's in powder form.

After that we went to some other station to see the St Paul's Church, took some photos and walked to the Bank station to see the Bank of England! It is the bank that deals with the whole world's $$$ ££££ !!!!!!!


I had Singapore Fried Vermicilli and he had Beef Rendang with rice. We also shared a plate of Satay! Yumz!!!

As for drinks I had teh tarik!! And he had hot lemon tea! :) Because I went up to order and they brought the food to us. When the drinks came it was amazing how the person knew that I was the one who wanted Teh Tarik LOL.. or maybe not. HAHAHA!!

After that we had take away as well. We ordered 2 Hainanese Chicken Rice and 1 Singapore Fried Vermicilli. 1 Chicken Rice was for us the next day, whilst 1 chicken rice and 1 singapore vermicilli for his parents :) .

After that we were changing trains to get to the railway. My legs were killing me. We checked the board and it said that our train was on platform 0. We thought.. Hmmm.. The thing is not out yet.... but when we asked it was in fact platform 0 lol!

We hurried ourselves and Stu almost got us to board the wrong train at platform 1! Then I was like " This is platform 1!!! " and we hurried to the one at the right which said platform 0 and he re-confirmed with the captain and we hurried in to the cabin, yes we finally made it for our 8pm train back to Darlington :) .

When we went to London, we shared the table with another couple opposite us. But this time round there wasn't much people around and we had the whole table to ourselves hahaha. But, the seats opposite us, were actually also reserved like us. That meant that there was supposed to be 2 people sitting opposite us. Stuart checked the reserved ticket and it said that they were supposed to drop off at York station. But when the train left, nope... no one. lol! Oh well.

Charged my Itouch and was playing Wedding Dash the whole time for 3hours. lol! And Stu was reading news on the laptop.

When we reached Darlington station, Stu's dad was waiting for us in the car. I think it was about 11pm already. He drove us back Thanks Mike! :)

Gave him the tea and food, and he wanted to try a bit and I dished out some chicken rice and vermicilli for him and re-heated it in the microwave. He loved it haha. Unfortunately, his mum was asleep already.


This morning, I heard that his parents ate more of the food lol. Anyway I had half of the chicken rice I shared with Stu. yum yum!! His other half is still in the fridge because he has an operation later on today, and he's not supposed to have anything to eat or drink except water. And again his dad will be driving us to the hospital and back later. Bless him x :)

Took lots of photos, and I will upload them when I'm free. LOL. ( I wonder when... ) .. Because I've still got lots of uni work on hand to do!!!

Tata for now :) x

Baby's New Hairstyle

So we're going to London tomorrow as he has to attend a meeting, thus he went to Tony and Guys today for a haircut. From the previous post, you can see that he brought those 2 pictures to the hairdressers and this is the result. lol! It's more to the shorter fringe kind, because his fringe was quite short in the first place. All that's left is for him to grow his fringe out and it'll be perfect. But for now, it's still perfect! Because I can help him style it! hahaha! His hair has more volume now, after putting the magic powder in his hair.

This was before I styled it for him though.

His back


His side


Top


And front :)



Nice? haha.

Ok we're going to his parents house now. I miss them! *hearts*

Bye!! :)

Random Blabber

Ok, so I was going to finish up my production file as well by yesterday, so that I could submit it all today.

Datelines

Audio CD + Cue Sheet - 4 May 2011

Production File - 11 May 2011

Body, Media and Culture Essay - 19 May 2011

Evaluation - I don't know when LOL


Anyway so I've submitted my Audio CD and cue sheet today instead of tomorrow, as I'll be going to London with Stuart on a first class train tomorrow. It would have cost us a few hundred pounds but because his dad has some points thing so we paid nothing! It's absolutely free! hehehe! Thanks Mike! :D

So excited! I've not sat on a first class train before! LOL!
I'm just going to relax today, though I shouldn't really. And start on the rest of my production file on Thursday onwards. And hopefully I'll be able to finish it by this weekend.

So anyway, the purpose of tomorrow's trip to London is soely because Stuart has a meeting there. Thus, he'll leave me there for a good few hours. I plan to do some research on where I can go and a Singapore Chinese Restaurant we can go!!!! And, where to get bubble tea and stuff like that HEHEHEHEHEHEHE :P

Oh, and because he has a meeting in London tomorrow, and his hair is just really long and messy ( all because I wouldn't allow him to cut it LOL ), he has gone to Tony and Guy to cut his hair! hahaha, I found some hairstyles for him and finally we were in between these two hairstyles.






He printed these 2 out to show the hairdresser that he wants something in between these two, though it kind of looks the same. HAHA! :P
Can't wait for him to come back !!!! He'll be so handsome I reckon! HAHAHAHAHA!!!

And there's like tons of photos I didn't upload since last year and this year, all because I just don't have the time. I'll upload them in June as that's when I'll be done with uni, and just waiting for graduation in July. :)

on 1 April we went to Stuart's cousin's wedding, both at the church and the reception dinner. :) It was awesome! It's raelly different from Singapore's. You don't actually need to wear soooooo formal like the ones in Singapore.

Took a family photo with Stuart's whole family, his mum, dad, sister and him. LOL, at first when they were like going to take a family photo, I kind of stepped away. Then his parents were like, saying I am part of the family and to take this photo with them, awww I was so touched! hahaha!
And, I haven't asked her for the photos yet, but I will soon.

Anyways, this was what I wore.



Stuart is on his way back now, and I'll take a picture of his new hairstyle and update you guys :)

For now, I got to shower and head to his parents house to stay the night as we can wake up half an hour later at 8.30 instead of 8am? lol! That's what he said.

He's also going for a surgery on Thursday, so we would have to stay at his parents house again tomorrow night I think.

Ok that's all Bye :)

Osama Bin Laden is DEAD!

I always wake up to the radio alarm clock ( which plays the radio instead of your usual ring ring ring. lol )

This morning, the radio announced that Osama ( I have no idea why whenever I want to type Osama, I type Obama first before realising my mistake. Seriously! =.= )

Anyway, yes my friends, Osama Bin Laden is dead if you haven't heard about it yet.
I then watched the special section of the news on television talking about his death.

As you all know, Osama has been a wanted man since the 9/11, where planes flew into the World Trade Centre in New York. It has been 10 years since he has been finally caught and apprently killed by the US forces.

Any coincidence that Hitler died on 1 May 1945, and Osama on 1 May 2011? LOL, nah I'm sure not.

A little background about Osama if you don't already know.
He formed the group called Al-Qaeda. In English, it means "the base" in 1988.


"Here is a timeline of events from the group's creation through to the death of Osama bin Laden.

:: 1991: Osama bin Laden moves to Sudan and makes the country al-Qaeda's base. Training camps are set up and preparations made for jihad.

Bin Laden - whose aliases included the Prince, the Emir, Abu Abdallah, Mujahid Shaykh, Hajj, and the Director - stayed in the African country for five years and was believed to have begun a search for nuclear material.

:: 1993: Bin Laden linked by the US to the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Centre which killed six people and injured 1,000 more.

:: 1996: The US identifies bin Laden as the prime suspect in the bombing of the Khobar Towers military complex in Saudi Arabia in which 19 US servicemen are killed.

:: October 12 1996: Bin Laden formalises his campaign against America by issuing a declaration of jihad, or holy war, calling on muslims to kill US soldiers, civilians and allies.

:: August 1998: The first acknowledged mass-casualty al-Qaeda attack takes place at the US Embassy in Kenya. A total of 219 people are killed.
A pick-up truck packed with explosives blows up outside the four-storey building in the heart of the capital Nairobi.

Minutes later, 12 people are killed when another bomb shatters the US Embassy in Dar es Salaam in neighbouring Tanzania.

About 5,000 people are injured in the two blasts.

:: October 2000: A suicide attack on the USS Cole in Yemen blows a 40sq ft hole in the ship's hull, killing 17 sailors and injuring 39.

:: September 11 2001: Bin Laden's organisation again uses operatives willing to die - hijacking passenger jets and flying them into the World Trade Centre in New York.

The attacks on New York and the Pentagon, as well as the hijacked plane that crashes into a field in Pennsylvania, claim nearly 3,000 lives - the world's worst act of terrorism.

:: December 2001: An attempted suicide attack on a Paris to Miami airliner by London-born Richard Reid, an al-Qaeda sympathiser, is thwarted after he is overpowered by passengers as he tries to ignite explosives in his shoe. He was later jailed for life by an American court.

One hits Paddy's Irish Bar in the island's Kuta tourist district and the second explodes in a van outside the Sari nightclub in the same area.

The al-Qaeda-linked terror group Jemaah Islamiyah was blamed for the Bali attacks.

:: November 28 2002: A vehicle packed with explosives ploughs into the Paradise Hotel near the port of Mombasa in Kenya, killing 11 Kenyans and three Israeli tourists.

In a simultaneous attack, two shoulder-launched missiles are fired at an Israeli passenger plane nearby, but narrowly miss the aircraft.

:: December 2002: A suspected Muslim extremist, cradling his hidden gun like a baby under his jacket, slips into a Christian hospital in southern Yemen and opens fire, killing three American missionaries and seriously wounding a fourth. Yemeni officials say the gunman is linked to al-Qaeda.

:: May 13 2003: A series of suicide bombings in the Saudi Arabian capital, Riyadh, kill at least 34 people, in attacks on housing compounds for foreigners.

:: August 5 2003: Jemaah Islamiya - the al-Qaeda-linked group thought to be behind the Bali attack - are blamed for the car bombing of the US-run JW Marriott luxury hotel in Jakarta, which kills 12 people.

:: November 9 2003: Saudi authorities claim al-Qaeda is behind a suicide car bombing that kills 17 people in Riyadh.

:: November 15 2003: Terrorists said to be linked to al-Qaeda bomb two synagogues in Istanbul, Turkey.

:: Five days later, two more suicide car bombings in Istanbul hit the British Consulate General and the HQ of HSBC bank in the city.

The series of attacks kill 61 people - including British Consul-General Roger Short - and injure hundreds more.

Analysts say the November 20 bombings showed that al-Qaeda has realigned its sights towards British targets.

Let me elaborate more on what I heard over the news and how the US forces found him in Parkistan. They spent time tracking a courier all the way to Parkistan and found this area near a military camp. The area had very little windows and was sort of 'covered', almost a likely place that someone like Osama would hide.

With permission and orders from President Obama himself, the US forces then flew in several helicopters above the town and explosions and gunshots rocked the air. Now for the number of casualities, I'm sorry if I left any out, because I didn't watch the whole section of the news entirely. It was said that 3 people were dead.
- A lady who was acting as a human shield to protect Osama.
- Osama Bin Laden's son
- Osama Bin Laden himself.

Osama bin Laden is killed in Abbottabad, Pakistan, and thus ends the 10 year search/hunt for this Al Qaeda leader.

The news was showing the people of USA, including army people all out on the streets waving their flags for the celebration of the death of Osama Bin Laden.



People were so happy with Obama that they wanted to extend his presidency status for another 4 more years too.

Obama once said he wanted Osama captured dead or alive!
Well I guess, he's dead now!

The world's most wanted terrorist is dead now!

OH and if you were wondering where's his body, he's in the sea now.
