Sheffield ppl

Haha. recently dun blog so much edi... not like when skul open ma.. so free.. hehe..

Now I found that the course is kinda hard ler.. nid to work veli hard to get good marks.. not like my 1st year at Taylor's.. most of them learnt b4 1.. T.T now is like all the things oso new 1.. charm.. nid a lot of effort dudes..

U noe? Sheffield ppl is veli gud 1. haha. I m kinda forgetful ppl la u noe... i always forget this forget that.. within 3 weeks i forgot 3 things to bring back edi. hehe... a goggle, a thumbdrive, n my red aluminium bottle! haha.. again! hehe, coz back in malaysia i oso lost 1.. ks gave me 1.. hehe.. :p now, losing things here is not a problem! After 3 weeks i had lost my bottle, i found it back at the same place! hehe, miracle? n my goggle in uni's swimming pool i got it back after 1 week, thumbdrive left at a crowded IT center after like 3 hours! haha.. sheffield ppl nice ler? hehe.. gud for ppl like me..

aiya, n 1 thing still i dun like about my bank registration for my debit card n credit card at a local bank "NatWest".. other ppl like my fren can get his card very fast n I? first, they get my debit card's surname wrong! T.T from 'Cheng' to 'Chang' ler! haih.. ppl 2 weeks can get their cards edi n me? i m now like 1 months edi still canot get.. summore 10 days b4 i went to report it, then last friday i go check again the manager told me it wasn't in the process of changing! told me to wait another 10days wor... haih.. n summore, in the same day, i received the letter for my registration for credit card (same company). I was so glad they get my surname right by the moment i received the letter. then, when i opened it, it said they rejected my registration! wth, saying sumthing like i m a existing account holder.. haih, my bro told me most probably they messed up wif my bro's account lo.. coz u noe la, UK ppl onli look at first name n surname, like my 'Cheng Khai Chee' onli look at Surname 'Cheng' n first name 'Khai' n treat 'Chee' as middle name. so it will be appear like 'Khai C Cheng'. As my surname n first name is the same like my bro, so.. haih.. keep that in mind if u got bro or sis's name almost the same n u wanna register for sumthing lo... T.T

They were like decided to sell that expensive thing to you edi, then you paid n the thing go back into a room. then they came out n gave u the thing in a black plastic bag n asked to u go out. Make an example, u r trying to get a 60pound stuff then u go out n find out that it is a 1-2pound stuff, wat will u do? angry rite? haha, but u juz couldn't do anything. U got no receipt or anything else. pity? So we juz wanna c how the auction was all about then we juz left there after 10 mins.
