World Premier "What Happens in Vegas"

Yesterday, cos now already pass midnight, after school, i went to Leicester's square as there was a premier at 6pm according to the newspaper i read on the tube to uni. that morning. I arrived there around 4pm and there's not many people gathering yet. However, i had to stand there and wait if I wanted to be in the front row... Well while i was waiting, I called to BlueWind to ask whether she wanted to come or not? The answer was NO! But we talked on the phone for nearly an hour as I got nothing to do and so did she... Well enough talking here are the pics...

Day Light Saving!

Today at midnight, in UK, we have to change the time again... This time we have to move the clock one hour forward... Hope K1 know about it....

I now understand why they have to move the clock backward and forward! The reason is because now the day is start to get shorter and morning is earlier that why they have to set the time one hour forward...

So when will we set it backward? It will be after summer... Actually, this also happen the same in Cambodia and other countries all around the world. However, in cambodia we don really care about it, that why we ignore it...

Now have to sleep earlier cos they steal one hour of my beauty sleep! Lol

Half Trip to Hogward!

I think most of you already know what this post mean, right?

So where to begin? Ummm, as you all know i am one of the Harry Potter fans. So what else should i think of doing when come to UK, country of Harry Potter. Going to the places that mention in Harry Potter book and show in Harry Potter film are all on my to-do-list when in UK.

After many attempts, I have managed to find Platform 9¾, the gate way into Harry Potter world. When I first came here, I have tried like 3 times to find this platform, but can only find platform 8. I was wonder where the hell is that platform 9 and 10. However, on the fourth time, lucky day for me I guess, I realised that I have forgot one thing. I haven't look closely enough at the sign at platform 8. When I look closely, it said, "Platform 9-11, please walk along the platform 8". Then I think to myself, OMG HERE WE GO!... I found it... here some pics:



Other tourists, like me, getting pic of them go to Hogward... Lol

Me no one help take my pic, so have to do by myself. Later when K1 come we will go again and she can help me take pic of it and I take it back for her... Right K1?

Here for you guys! You can use Photoshop to edit it...(If you want)! It doesn't look exactly the same like in the movie cos now the station is being refurbished for the up-coming Olympic Game 2011 or sth, in London.

Hope all this pics, are enough to make all harry's fan want to beat me up... Lolzzz

UK Earthquake!

Hey click here to read the full story from BBC about the even of the earthquake I just post... It was said to be the biggest earthquake in UK for nearly 25 years.

Wednesday, February 27, 2008

Dear Oh Dear!

You guys would never believe this! Guess what I just experience?

It's an "Earthquake"! Yes an earthquake I tell you. It happened just now, right before I post this one. I just can't wait. It was approximately 1am and last about 10sec. Here's the story...

I was watching a cartoon on Dailymotion.com when suddenly I felt something strange. Kinda weird feeling. I felt a bit dizzy. I thought it might be because I stay in front of the laptop so long that why! But then I heard some sound outside, sound like the antenna on the roof is shaking, you know the metal hit one another. And I said to myself, "Yeah! I definitely feel dizzy!"

Then the chair I was sitting on was moving from side to side as I am not heavy enough you know... And when I looked at my closet and saw the hanger wasn't stable as it should be. Now I realized it. OMG it's an earthquake, but just after I realized it, it stopped.

I ran down to my friend and asked them whether they felt the same. And first they said yeah they felt dizzy, but I said no you idiot, it's an earthquake. One of my other friends didn't even realized it, cos she too busy chatting with her bf, but she said she knew it because her bf told her... Lol

Wow what a great experience! The first earthquake I have experienced, 27 Feb 2007, 1am.

Strange Weather!

Wow wow wow! The weather here is totally strange! I don know now it is spring or not, but if not, it is coming soon. However, the weather start to get cold again... What wrong with it? It is cold and foggy!

One night this week the temperature dropped to 2 degree and some part of UK is -0! Can you believe that? I think it may be because of the global warming things! Now the climate of the world is changing! Maybe later there will be four seasons in Cambodia and only two seasons in UK and other countries that use to have four seasons... If it really happen that gonna be... don know how to put it...

Oh oh I will probably have internet connection on Monday next week! Can't wait!! ;)

Holloween!!

Well in UK, People don't bother much on Holloween. Only some shop in London, especially toy shop, decorate for holloween. At the river Thame, where there are London Eye, Big Bang, there are some people dress up for Holloween to advertise their store.

Tall: Hey what are you looking at?

Short: Wow so many people! I'm so hungry...

Oh my God! Where is his head?

Two girls: I don care, I think he look better without his head!

Others make themself look like status. For status you can find them every day, but mostly at weekends.

Birds: Is this reall a statue? Well it look so alike.

Statue: Hey birdy! If you shit on me, you will be my dinner.

Birds: Help! A statue can talk!


London Eye and Big Bang at night!


Instead of Holloween, they all prepare for Christmas. On every channel on TV, there always be an Christmas advertisement. People start booking for their Christmas items, toys,...
