View of the Lake District Between Windermere & Ambleside

Since it’s finally the New Year (based on the Chinese calendar), I’ve decided it’s time for a new look. A new beginning one can say. Still a lot of bugs that need to be fixed…but slowly I will get there. HTML codes are much easier to tackle in comparison to CSS.

I wonder how everyone celebrated their new year this time. I was off this year, but being in the UK it was not a big deal. So just lepak with some friends.

Valentines this year was very weird. Was working in the morning and finished around 1500hrs before rushing up to change and meeting Aunty Susan and Uncle Gavin who came to visit me on V-day for 1 night. We took a drive down to Hawkshead and Ambleside which is on the opposite side of the lake before heading back to the hotel for an hour and a half of rest and getting prepared for dinner. Rakan kerja I yang perancis (A) teman I untuk dinner. Now both uncle and aunty ingat dia balak I. hahahaha. Dinner turned out really great, and I think some people in the hotel (well mainly in the restaurant) had tons of questions running through their heads. Hahaha. We sure like messing around with peoples heads don’t we.

The next day I joined aunty and uncle and we headed across the lake again. This time to Dove Cottage in Grasmere where the famous William Wordsworth used to live (his first cottage) where he lived in the beginning with his sister Dorothy and then his wife Mary and family friend Taylor Coleridge. I bet to most of you these names especially Wordsworth and Coleridge are known you. Taylor Coleridge is familiar to me mainly through his work called ‘The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner’, a lovely piece of work might I say. While Wordworth is very popular here in the Lake District as he helped ‘pen’ this location on the map. After that we drove through Ambleside heading to Coniston where we visited John Ruskin’s grave. Didn’t take any pictures of the grave as I have this thing about taking pictures of graves, mummies etc. One can say just my little way of respecting the dead and letting them R.I.P. Our last destination before heading back to The Belsfield Hotel was the Blackwell Arts and Crafts House in Windermere itself. One word to describe the place… ‘WOW’. The view was magnificent and the whole layout of the house was incredible. It showed riches for the people in those days. Susah want to express, one needs to see it for themselves to experience what I am talking about.

I shall end this post with the most famous poem in the Lake District by Wordsworth.

Daffodils

Well I guess it's about time I updated my blog. I would be lying if I said i didn't have the time to update....just somehow lost the motivation to write. There are some things that no matter how one wishes to express will forever remain in the dark due to the nature of the whole agenda.

Anyways life in the UK is great actually...though not as great as originally planned due to some unforeseen incident. ..but the pay here beats what I'll earn in Malaysia. But one thing that doesn't seem to change to matter which country you're in.... Staff mealls for those working in the hotel line SUCKS!!! hahaha bet many of you would agree. Suprising how "chefs" can actually create dishes that are sometimes just....well let's just say even Jackie would just look the other way. Sometimes I feel I can cook better... and those of you who really know me...will know I CAN'T COOK!!! =p

People here where I am are friendly. But doubt I'll ever get use to the fact that people behind the counters in stores say, " Hi love how are you? See you love" SO WEIRD!!! They are very friendly that well you know seperti biasa... kalau too nice kenalah berjaga-jaga. I've been here for like 2months now and still trying to get used to the Cumbrian accent which can be really hard to understand as it's very heavy similiar to the Scottish accent and being RJ yang pekak badak,,, sometimes I will be like, "I beg your pardon?? etc etc" you get the picture.

Talking about RJ... I can't go by that nickname here because my general manager's initials are that too and that's what everyone refers to him. But I kind of feel calling him RJ hahah so I just go "Mr.J" hehehe. Imagine me calling my managers back in Msia with just their initials...sure kena sound!

On to a totally different topic. Life has taken a very different direction for me. Something that I didn't expect to happen in the near future happened. Well that's life...certain things will always remain out of our hands no matter how we plan or wish them to happen it just will not. How I wish I could believe what I just said, but I would be lying if I said that I've accepted what has totally happened... because I still wish that it didn't and things would change. Anyways lately I've been living my life is totally unacceptable and not me at all. It's like I'm actually outside of my body looking down on my life and trying to change but just impossible.

anyways I'm gonna quit here. Head loaded on all sorts of medication just ain't thinking straight anymore. Sides there is much to be said but non- for the pubic eye at the moment.
