End of Holiday

Just finished ironing my shirts for the week. Everything feels so dull today cause it's the end of my year end holiday and it's back to work tomorrow. Argh....

Well... I had my time in Scotland but it just happen that there isn't any snow for skiing. Spent quite a lot of money during this month... I've been going out every week and I've been spending about 100 pounds every week.... It's just not like me....

Hope I can save enough money to bring back to Malaysia in CNY. :D

Christmas in UK

Many probably wonder how British ppl celebrate their Christmas, or how Christmas is like in Britain. Is it more happenning?? Is it warmer feeling??

First of all, you'll always see this so called Christmas market. They sell stuff produced by local farmers, such as cheese, (disgusting) sausage, (ugly) painting and crafts, knitwear and even liquor (YES, they make random liquor with unknown alcohol level... see how dangerous it is). Anyway, normally you'll see Christmas market 1 month before christmas in every town and city.

The people in the stalls are all farmers disguised as artists. They're fucking stupid and have absolutely no idea of running a business. The photo below will explain what the fuck is wrong. My friend is looking at something and the owner just sit there and do nothing! What the FUCK is wrong with her?? She's not even doing anything!! She's not even trying to persuade my friend to buy anything or persuading others to come to her stall. I bet she's only interested in how many sheeps she have.


In Christmas eve itself, the photos below will explain how happenning the city celebrates Christmas.

Yes. The labels are right. You don't see any decorations or anything as you've seen in TV, or probably the ones you see are from america rather than poor British. The streets are quiet and the whole city turns into a ghost town. Even rubbish man don't collect rubbish.

British actually hide in their pathetic small home with their families during Christmas. Hmm... Sounds more like Halloween to me.

Anyway, to all my readers and viewers, 'Merry Christmas and may the force be with you'. Haha... That's a bit futuristic... HAha...

Christmas Trip

Haven't been blogging these few days as I was busy arranging plans for Christmas.

We're planning of skiing in Scotland. But the problem is, there might not be any snow in the slopes. Argh... This really puts us off... This sounds ridiculous, but I hope it's gonna get colder and colder these days... Or else our trip is gonna be fucked!!!

If the ski slopes is really fucked, I guess all of us will just have to learn something called 'The Art of Doing Nothing'. I know many ppl have tried it in sandy beaches or somewhere with a warmer climates. But learning 'The Art of Doing Nothing' up in the highlands when it's cold... Haha...

Following photos are some that I've got when I went skiing in Charmonix, France. I guess it's too ambitious to hope that Scotland will look half as good as this.

Anyway, apart from skiing, we're going to Edinburgh for the Hogmanay. Biggest New Year's Eve in the whole UK. Can't really wait for it. I've been told that they close off the streets by 6.00 because the streets will be full of people... I mean ppl standing next to each other marching and can't do anything... Haha.... Let's just feed in to the crowd ... Haha...

Christmas party

It's the time of the year again.... Christmas... My office is having 'Secret Santa' among us this year, which means everyone will have to buy someone a present. I don't know what to get for my colleague. What if she doesn't like it? On top of that, my friends are exchanging presents too. So, another present for a friend. I'm really stuck in what to buy for my colleagues and friends, cause I hardly buy presents. In chinese culture, we don't buy presents, we just give money. Haha...

The following are some random ideas that I had in my intoxicated mind, but most of them seemed to be too random and impossible.

This is said to be the coolest christmas present... Haha... Only in America??

Secret gift for my colleagues.... Haha...

This will be nice for the girls. It even squirts white stuff... How cool is that??? And I guess this should be quite cheap.

I hope I can find my christmas present here.... Haha....

I guess I'll just make something and give it away as a present. Maybe a cheesecake or I'll cook something? Buying presents just isn't my thing. It's always the same old presents... chocolates, wine, gadgets.. At the end of the day, it'll be forgotten and thrown in the bin when someone moves houses. Better to make some food which can be eaten straight away or shared among everyone. Haha...

Secret of Christmas

Christmas is coming soon. I'm not a christian, but have anybody ever wondered what does Santa Claus, flying reindeer, a pine tree, presents, socks and all those stuff have to do with christmas??? I thought Christmas was just the birth of Jesus Christ.

So I started doing some research on my own. So who is Santa Claus? From what I've heard, Santa Claus is some generous guy who likes giving people money secretly. He help the poor secretly by dropping money or gifts into ppl's house without them knowing it. And this later on were turned into giving presents and then exchanging presents.

So what about flying reindeers? Before I explain anything, have you guys ever heard of 'Shrooms' or 'Magic Mushrooms'? It's a type of mushroom, which will make someone hallucinate and has been used as a drug a long time ago. These mushrooms are very rare. Shrooms act as 'catalyst' and your body doesn't absorb anything from it. So, certain ppl claim that it's safe.







Now back to the reindeer business. Reindeers like eating these mushrooms. They can sniff them out and always dig them out and eat it. And yes, the reindeers like to get high and hallucinate. When they get high, they'll just jump around and runs around happily, although I've never seen one before. Haha...

So how do people find these mushrooms. Remember me saying that shrooms cannot be absorbed by the body... Well, what the ppl in the past did was to either to use a reindeer to sniff out these mushrooms or drink their urine.... Haha... Yes, you can drink the reindeer's urine and get high, and use your urine again and again.....

So, when the people drank the urine and started hallucinating, they 'saw' the reindeers flying. I guess that's the story of the flying reindeers. And probably, that's what people do during christmas in the older days. Haha...

Anyway, if anyone of you ever wondered how it feels like to hallucinate? Well, follow the link below and follow the instructions. I think it's cool. Haha... Stare at your palm after staring at screen, you'll see your flesh moving. Haha...
