the cable broke down today. no more internet. no more checking emails. no more reading blogs. no more downloading mp3s. no more downloading anime and manga. no more porn. no more google. no more soccernet. no more porn. *sob*

so i shall spend the next week reading books and thinking about the coin that got away. don't expect from me for a week or so. ta.

i saw a 20p coin on the floor outside castle market today. i stopped, contemplated picking it up, and just stepped over it. i spent the next 5 seconds looking at the coin as i walked away, and the next 20 minutes thinking "i shouldve picked up the coin. 20p is alot". and i had nightmares about not picking up that coin. i think im one step closer to becoming a scrooge.

hola! derek ere, reporting in from the 3rd biggest city in espanyol.. valencia! this place is massive and historic! city´s small enough to walk, and its like a maze, with turns here and there, and alleys which lead into squares and main roads. but with every twist and turn i make, there´d be some huge cathedral or church or statue waiting for me on the other side. i can see the reason they call this the historical city of valencia. and food here is... yummm. lotsa cheap and traditional food, like tapas (think spanish sandwich) for breakfast.. and paella (throw rice and seafood on a frying pan, and put it in the oven) for dinner. wonderful, and so much better than ibiza´s food. and at night, drinking spanish beer at street side cafes, with street performers and skateboarders all about (figure they like skateboards here). only thing is, this would be a more non-tourist and more spanish city, and no one here speaks english! so only thing i find myself doing, is pointing here and there, and showing my fingers to ask for price and stuff. thats the thing about travelling alone... i havent actually spoken for a day! i think i might end up becoming a mute soon. haha. anyway, gotta go check out some bullfights. chow.

p.s.- found this damn cool site. check it. hilarious.

hola! its me.. reporting in from a lovely cycafe in the hot and sunny island of ibiza. life here, is wonderful. with the exception that i feel very arkward, and left out. one thing is, ibiza and its people lead a fantastic life. sun, sand and sea by the day.. clubbing by night. its madness i tell you... you can actually see my drool dripping outside every club i visit. u see, in malaysia, everyone goes hoo-hah over rave parties that come once every few months with superstar DJs and goes on till the break of dawn. here, superstar DJs are residents, and clubs open till dawn. hell yea, clubbing till 8am with the likes of PVD, tiesto and van buuren really makes my day. and the sea! the sun! the sand! formentera island, just south off ibiza is really a haven for lazy people who enjoy turning into indians under the heat of the sun. with crystal clear waters and white sand... haha, what else can i ask for. oh ya, there is one thing... ibiza is truly an islaND for beautiful people. clubbing here is a pure eyetreaT, and so are the beaches. now i really need a diet! haha, anyway, gotta run.. checking out some villa castle thingy now. chow!!

u know, i was actually meaning to post several posts for the past few nights, but ive just be so darn busy packing. anyway, heres the lowdown for the week.

firstly, philip's the most luckiest bastard in the world. i mean, anyone would if they won a trip to taiwan to watch S.H.E and my hebe in concert, as well as backstage passes and a chance for a private photo shoot and party with them. argh.. if only i was in malaysia and if only i took part in the competition. hell.. if only.

next up... yesterday was a wonderful thing. i faced the wonderful and other side of the british. you see, i live in sheffield. student city. i'd probably count 400 malaysians and bout 200 or so of hongkies and china students. and lets not forget a hefty amount of british born chinese. so the people i meet here, are mostly other students, and staff of shops i frequent, which are accustomed to us. but, however, yesterday, was a different experience. i was making my way to the tram stop with my friends to catch a movie. 5 p.m. on game day. so the tram was packed... filled with sheffield natives, just back from the sheffield wednesdays game. there was space, of course. and they had to go 'no chinese on the tram' and laughing. bastards. of course, i'd flash them my finger and say 'fuck you mate' if i could, but im in the country which gave birth to hooliganism. ill pass, and take this insult for now. so much for the 'the players and staff of sheffield wednesday supports racial unity' speech which they give right before the game. and later that evening, or night actually, me and some guys went off to the local casino to test our luck. ill not go into that too deeply, but afterwards, we decided to head off for a tram ride back home. so its 4 of us, middle of the night, waiting and waiting. and the tram comes. and goes. without stopping for us. and i enjoyed my walk home. fuckers.

on a lighter note, monday.. we had a drink with dinesh, whom left for malaysia on tuesday. tuesday, i had a very new and refreshing and educational experience with the human anatomy. those who dont understand.. think gentleman's club. im no perv. im just trying new things. wednesday and thursday, was low IQ day.. facing the moron which is my landlord. friday = lepak day. and yesterday = british are racist bastards day.

and to end my lovely post, i just have something to tell all. ill be missing in action for about 3 weeks, so if i dont keep in contact with everyone, i did not get murdered by a one legged, one armed, three eyes monkey, nor did i get abducted by three legged, four armed, one eyed aliens, nor did i get caught for being a secret agent for the government of moomoo spying on the british education system. i simply disappeared. goodbye everyone, and please... don't miss me. because i won't feel likewise. =P

well, the week has been somewhat hectic recently.... ive been having lovely and wonderful issues with this cocky landlord of mine... whose logic revolves around taking over our stuff, and scuffling our money. hell yea, honestly, tell me... whats a basement for? sure... some people use it as an entertainment den. which actually is an excellent idea, minus the fact that its stuffy, dusty, smells bad, and dirty. so what do u do with a basement like that? store stuff, right? but noooo... according to him, basements arent used for storing stuff. its used for storing air.. and anything that would render it empty. his reasoning? apparently, theres some underwater stream under this house, which threatens to put the place in a sinkhole if we actually store luggage there. vapours destroying the wall and shit. oh sure.... but i think he forgot theres no rivers or water spots even remotely close to my place, or sheffield, in that matter... unless the indoor swimming pool of the local sports center is linked to an underground stream, which flows right thru my basement, and missed the neighbours, which are happily storing their stuff away. so fine... i try to erm... drop my IQ to his level, so we can come on some understanding that he is mentally retarded. and he gives me less that 18 hours to removes a nice 50 boxes from my basement to somewhere else (dont ask how 20+ boxes got there in the first place). so, 18 hours to find somewhere else to throw 20+ big bad boxes. even if i put em all in my room, and stacked it to the ceiling, i couldnt fit everything. but well, we managed well enough, striving the whole night, breaking sweat after sweat, with no time for rest, and muscles aching, eyes heavy, and stomach roaring. but we managed. and that retarded fart decided not to show up for the check he was supposed to make. sheesh. what a way to make my day. i think im gonna sell off his furniture and washing machine, so that i can make a buck off it, coz i am so sure, i aint getting my deposite back anyway. argh.. enuff of bitching today. i need sleep. ta.
