can't sleep. wanna write bout this big fish

i was on the queen mary's on thursday nite in the embankment for an event i wasnt prepared to go.
there was like free finger food. the drinks as well. there was fake money to go around to play with the casino tables they set up for the event.
they had poker. which everyone was dealt 2 cards and it goes on and on.. ( this is where i lost all my fake money on. )
they had roulette and the girl was nice enough to lemme try spinning the thingy. but i wasnt any good at it. sides i lost at that table too.
then i went with my colleague to play blackjack. ooo we were on a roll .
first play 20 etc.. ( fake money so just put only la) then when we got tired of playing.. we put all one shot. and then when we won, we still doubled up.. till i managed to get about 1.3k. geez.. if this was real money .. i think i can make a living. lol
anyways, i lost it all at the damn poker table. sien.
but that aside. i had to lose all of them anyways,since the event was coming to an end.
and when i went back home. and last nite or wassit this morning. the first time i dream this bloody big fish tour.
my friend brought me to see this pond and pushed me in the pond. so that i can enjoy the freak tour. gee..i swear it was so real that i thought i dreamt i was blogging about it the next day. and i wanted to bring some of my friends to see that big bloody fish. i think ahh.. this is caused by too much work. for the past week, i have been working last usually till after 10. today was finished at 1115pm. siao..
since i'm still awake.. just finished dinner. thought i'd just try to remind myself that this week wasn't futile at all.

note: i told my colleague about the masters course
he asked how much was it.
i replied : 8-9k kua.( of course i didnt put the kua at the back. he won't understand me)
he said... that's crazy.. that's a lot of money . i didnt have to pay to go to uni. they even gave me money to go to uni in my first year.
i said : wtf ??!!???
he asked why i wanted it.
i say it's cause it would be easy for me to get a PR next time.
he said. i think u better go find a girl. then get ur ur brit passport then go study.
think of how many dates ur 8-9k can buy for u. lol
i say .. right.. now to find a girl. british one. tell her i want to marry her cos i want to get the citizenship so i can go to school for free. lol
WTF...
weird conversation i tell u .
anwyays, time to go watch anime again.

i don't think the ang moh are aware how much we foreigners have to fork out to go to uni. a lot of my friends go "shit! That's a lot of money!"

I heard it's not that straight forward to get PR anymore even if you marry a local. Not sure.. cos i'm not bothered to check.. heheheh

anyway.. good luck =)

yup, they don't know how much we have to pay through our noses to study in their universities. but they're prolly puzzled to, as to why would we want to study there? funny, how the heck do you explain to them - "uhmm... dunno. i don't like the local universities?" =P

anyway.. poker! hehe. i used to play stud poker in the casino. and blackjack. the rest, i dunno how to play =P
moo: when u marry a local, it's not just PR u're looking for.. it's naturalization kua ?
luck ? hehe. i might need lots of it.. considering this is a big city.

jon : hehe yeah my friend must be lucky to not have paid to study.

piffy: what local uni. i wanna get in also not qualified.. :P sommore i dropped out of college.. sien.. lol
i guarantee u know how to play strip poker laa lol

Mr. Kipling's Battenberg Cake. looks nice..

hmmm been so busy on friday forgot to update. will post 2 post to console myself today. to the cake. cake looks cute. but tastes horrible. maybe it was because i bought it cheap from sainsbury . it's original price was £1.29. but i bought it for 49p. cheap as i was. maybe that's the reason the cake tasted bad.. but the expiry wasnt till anohter 2 days time. :P anyways, it tasted like smelled like cough syrup. u know those red coloured ones. tasted okays. the outer layer is just icing erm or rather sugar.. no ideas waht that was but it was SWEET. then inside, just like the normal sponge cake. all in all.. i wouldnt buy it ever again. :P here are the pics.
