Itz going to be another 3 months b4 he leave the UK for good...
Marpig wanted to throw her feelings of him out of the window and she almost succeeded.
So, one evening, we had dinner over at his house... Duh!! hahahhaha of cos, there were 2 other pple; a colleague of ours and his gf.
The colleague cooked Bah Kut Teh and we had a really nice dinner. Afterwhich, we played majong together. Sharks, our hands touched!!
There was once we went with another colleague and his wife to a themepark.
Marpig, being afraid of heights, being soooo relutant to go on any such themepark rides when in Singapore/HK, actually tried every single rides (including the dreaded pirate ship!!) tt day with him!!
Sigh... too bad we werent a couple... there was a ride tt goes down the water slide (bet u all noe) and Marpig was sitting behind him. Ah!! Had the chance to hug him from behind (Ooolala~)!! BUT, Marpig am genuinely scared!!
Then, when Marpig decided to let go this happened:
One fine Grocery Day, Marpig went to get her grocery in the morning. Just when Marpig finished her grocery and am waiting at the bus station, he came.
So, we took a bus together but he alight first to go to a barber.
Gosh... really makes Marpig felt as though we were sort of destined to meet each other (albeit not be together...)
The world can be so big, so many countries, so many places, so many races etc. To meet a person in a foreign country, to work in the same office, to even meet on an unsuspecting morning can be quite a feat... To become frens or even be siblings, parents, children etc... it is really quite amazing...
So, together with previous bloggie entries, all Marpig is driving at is...
Fate can bring pple together, it can also take pple away from us suddenly.
Since itz never pure luck tt pple became family, frens, colleagues, etc, shouldnt pple try to not take ths for granted and give more of themselves to others so tt they can be happier?

Autumn Leaf
Just a brief one.
Suddenly thought of this one day in the office, looking out into the trees with falling red leaves...
Instead of tossing a coin into wells in different countries boasting the fact tt wishes will come true in doing tt... Marpig think, writing a wish on the last Autumn falling leave will definitely make a wish come true... why?
Building a man-made well, promoting it to become a "wishing well" is not difficult... but finding the last Autumn leave is near impossible...
Hmmm... sounds a bit melancholy and sad... may be this is true... well... no wonder wishes never come true...
Wilful humans...

Mechanical Life
Hmmm... with a new laptop doesnt really mean tt Marpig will be more hardworking in blogging!! Gosh...
Been spending time idling and generally doing nth xcept the routine tasks in life as well as NDS...
Smhow... when one thinks oneself has reach a certain stage or goals, one will start to become... "mechanical" where everyday seems like any other days
Or may be there isnt much challenge...
... A colleague of Marpig discovered she had breast cancer...
Marpig guessed it the moment she saw her wearing a at but did not want to bring it up in the office.
She is quite a nice lady from Ipoh. She came over to work in the UK long time ago. Of course, she was married (to an ang moh) not sure if she has any children but don think so.
In the office, she is quite nice, we'll occasionally chit chat. When Marpig knew about it and discover she hasnt been coming to work, smhow, Marpig feels for her. Could it be tt bcos of Marpigz mom, she especially feels for pple who are sick, who are less fortunate?
Ever since then, Marpig kept her in her prayers as well... gave her a call to ask if she is ok and if it is convenient to visit her at her place.
Smtimes, many pple go through life like a clockwork. May be itz just Marpig being nosy, having too big a heart, thinking she has the responsibility to feel for every1... but... every1 am entitled to be loved. It doesnt matter if we noe tt person inside out or noe for a long time...
Anyhow, Marpig thinks tt wat her colleague need now is support from family and frens. Sigh... If there should come a time where Marpig has cancer... she would also want pple to keep her in their prayers and to support her in these difficult times...
Plus, itz not difficult to give others more care and concern...

Interesting Ordeal(s)
Backtracking to almost a month ago when Marpig was just about to develop into a terrible cold, she went to London again for the weekend, herez wat Marpig encountered:
Firstly, on the coach on her way to London Victoria Coach Station (London Vic hereafter), she met an old woman sitting beside her. As it is, itz mandatory to put on seat belts while in coach. Being a typical "Just Follow Law (lor)" citizen + the fact tt there IS fatal accidents for coaches, Marpig and others put on seat belts. This woman did not. At 1st Marpig was just wodering if she is ok since she is sitting quite upright. So, Marpig asked her if she is ok and does she need any help with the seat belt.
"Oh I'm fine. I noe itz neccessary for us to put on seat belts but I just don like it."
Right... 5 mins later, when the coach started, the bus driver introduced himself as well as announcing the bus schedule and where we are all heading to. He also mentioned bout the requirement of putting on seat belts.
Despite this, the woman remain indignant.
Looking out of the window (Marpig had a window seat), Marpigz realised these:
Old pple can be very stubbornOld pple do not like to be viewed as weak
Smtimes, sm old pple injured themselves... but...they deserved it... (In fact, not just old pple)
Marpig am not being evil... just tt smtimes pple prefer/chose to be indignant to certain rules, advice, etc tt were drawn up to protect them. Still, since itz pplez choice, Marpig cant do much.
When the coach had almost reached London Vic, the coach passed by the high streets and came across a shop called "Harvey Nichols". The chattery women behind got xxxcited and go "Look!! Harvey Nichols!!", "Ah!!", etc. Marpigz head turned and to her, itz just "another of those shops" Worse, Marpig did not even heard bout the brand or think itz any special. Hmmm... really... such an interesting thought...
Once Marpig reached London Vic, she wandered watz she gonna do for lunch (actually, been thinking ever since Marpig is on the coach) on a Friday afternoon (Marpig applied a dayz leave to spend longer weekend in London) She was supposed to meet D***kz fren whose supposed to pass Marpigz new laptop but he didnt give Marpig a ring... so there was Marpig walking around, thinking wat she should do (Marpigz sisz is still working though she is supposed to meet her for dinner while BIL meeting his frens)
At tt time, Marpig was really into full-blown cold... watz worse, itz raining... darn tt British weather!! Having given much thought, Marpig decided to go to Misato (rem the very 1st few bloggie entries showing Londonz chinatown) for a big hot bowl of tempura udon!!
Bracing the rain, Marpig went to Misato alone... as usual, therez a long Q. Minus the fact tt Marpigz cold was getting from bad to worse and getting really tired... Marpig really enjoyed the bowl of udon tremendously!! Itz been so long since Marpig tasted anyth Japanese!! *SLURP*!!
After lunch, therez still hours away to meeting Marpigz sis. As Marpig had nowhere to go, so she decided to sit around for a cuppa. But bcos of the bad cold, Marpig felt so sleepy and terrible... Finally, Marpig braced herself to sms Marpigz sis to ask her to KO earlier (she normally KO later than late) so tt they could meet earlier and Marpig could go her house to rest asap.
Prior to tt, Marpig trotted those streets which she used to trot while being the poor overseas student... cant believe tt period of Marpigz life had passed... kinda relieve... but kinda missing being a student...
Anyway, Cold was really bad and Marpig felt like a melted ice cream... totally no strength!!
Met Marpigz sis, went out for carvery. Really nice!! Especially the huge Yorkshire pudding!! yumyum!!
Anyway, main th is, Marpig cant breathe due to the cold!! Went to bed and suddenly, Marpigz sis came in the wee morning with a hot cup of Lemsip (for cold) for Marpig...
... ... Marpigz heart suddenly felt so warm... reminded Marpig of Marpigz mom... who will also make hot drinks/cook noodles/bring medicine for Marpig last time...
Ah~~~ all along knew tt Marpigz sis care for Marpig though shez notoriously known to be a tigress... think itz time to dedicate 3 bloggie entries for Marpigz family...
The story goes where on Sunday, b4 Marpig goes back to Bristol, she went to church with Marpigz sis. :) Really like those times when we both go to church... memories and feelings...
There was a hymn then which reminded Marpig of those sec sch daes...
"... Let the weak say I am strong, let the poor say I am rich, because of what the Lord has done for us"
Quite true... anyway.
Finally, this is the best part. On her way back to Bristol on the coach in the evening, Marpig am so "lucky" to be caught in the infamous M4 traffic jam!!
Why infamous? Right. In England, M4 and M5, the main motorways from west of the country to London will definitely use these routes. Normally, when an accident happens, motorways close for hours or even 24 hours. To think Marpig always thought tt Marpig wont be so lucky but alas.
Supposedly to arrive in Bristol @ 5pm, in the end, Marpig arrived in Bristol @ 11pm. OMG.
Cars cant move nor exit the motorways. In the end, cars got to U-turn on the motorway... unbelievable...
From day...

From day...
To night...
Luckily Marpig had got everyth; water and sm food and most importantly in these situation, NDS!!
From tt delay, Marpig realised, she IS really quite a patient person & have learnt/bcome a very calm and compose person. While every1 bcame flustered and agitated, Marpig remains as cool as a cold soba.
Guess to Marpig, nth can really affect her other than her family...
Orion Affected by Climate Change
A little bit more bout Marpigz Cosy Barn 3.
Other than being a nice cosy place to stay near the office, the window is very much like the one in Cosy Barn 1. Even the bed arrangement is the same; just beside the window tt looks into the dark starry sky.
As Oct comes to an end, BST (British Summer Time) is coming to an end as well. Meaning, UK is gonna be back to 8 hours behind Singapore time.
These few nights have been waking up just b4 dawn ard 5am, when the sky is still dark and clear.
Been seeing many big and bright stars ihcluding an upside down Orion. So, ths don usually have to be the right way up. Who noes, we might be standing on our heads in space!!
One more th... is it bcos the world is changing? Orionz straight line of 3 stars are now bent!! Bout... less than 5 deg. More like a gentle arc now... nononono!! Marpig didnt mistaken!! She noes her Orion!!
Guess shall get a binoculous smtime when Marpigz got the money. Think for star gazing, basic binoculous is a 7" 3 smth specs... argh... quite an investment since could use it for other ths like bird/animal watching next time while travelling.
Oh yes... need to get a camera tt works good underwater too!! Sharks.
Need to really save more!!
Finally, there was once Marpig spotted a green fat catepillar in the fridge. Must have hid itself in the broccoli. Itz been such a long time since Marpig played with one. Now, Marpig am squeamish bout them though they are harmless and cute!!
Anyway, Marpig saw it and got a shock. So Marpig closed the fridge door, thinking, it will be too cold and will just die (sounded cruel, but better than Marpig squashing it)
After a dae or 2, Marpig went to look for the "dead catepillar" but!! Itz nowhere to be found!! OMG OMG!! Wherez it?!
At first Marpig am abit paranoid as to there it went. The fridge is closed, itz cold. No dead caterpillar... hmmm...
Finally, after may be... 1 week or so, the mystery is solved.
Guess wat
When Marpig opens the fridge door one dae, she saw a thumb-sized big pupa!! OMGOMGOMGOMG!!
So!! The caterpillar didnt die and had fell into a deep slumber, ready for metamorphosis into a butterfly!!
So, even a caterpillar, trapped inside a fridge, wanted to continue itz life. So how can Marpig kill it a 2nd time? So, Marpig used newspaper to take it out and let it out of the window.
Moral of the story; Life is precious; even little animals cherish their short life and fight till the end, knowing they will die shortly (butterflies live for a week or so only)
Not only must we treasure our lives, we must also treaure the pple we love. We only live once...

Provocative Thought
Good news!! Marpig finally got her new Fujitsu laptop!! YEAH!!
1) Dont ask the spec; itz a Lifebook E Series... think itz 8410. Yup.
2) Cost bout ~GBP1000 *whew!!*
3) Microsoft Vista Biz... gosh... quite difficult to use in fact... since it requires learning a totally new system...
4) Has an inbuilt camera on top of wide screen
5) More freq blogging once again!! heheheheheheh Since Marpig can blog safely @ home instead of the office which Marpig wont have the time anyway...
B4 Marpig backtracks to bloggie entries tt were long overdued, letz start with a provocative entry.
It happened over a Friday lunchtime where Marpig and her 2 other colleagues (one of them being the bald Msian guy) went for Pizza Hut buffet (costs GBP4.50, pizza only and trust Marpig, the selection is not as impressive as in Singapore)
The main th was, he (hereafter referring to the bald Msia guy) mentioned his church frens (a couple) is going to start a church in Cardiff. (They were Christains) Herez a brief summary of his church:
They considered themselves as Christains
They cannot go to other churches because to them, they believe their church is the true church, aka True Jesus Church
They must marry only and exclusively church members. Otherwise, they have to convert their spouses. (Majiam like Muslim lah)
They do not yet have a proper church, so they will be starting it in their house where pple will go for service and they will deliver the sermons
Conversation bout the new church his frens are starting went ok until Marpig (don noe why) suddenly asked the question, "Will donations be collected?"
"Yes"
*feeling heated* "Right, this is one th I dont like. Why do they collect donations? Convince me and I will even promote your church!!"
"Itz for the church"
"Church?! You don even have a church and itz only pple who set up this church in their home. Do the donations go to any charitable organisation?"
"There are donation boxes for pple to donation. They can dont donate if they don want to. The donations don go to any charitable organisation, it goes to the church"
"What church?! Yje church is set up by your frens. In the 1st place, if you are doing God's work, you shouldnt be collecting donations. Furthermore, those donations don go to any good uses except to the pockets of those pple who set up the church. Right, they get the money as their income, do not even have to declare tax on the money. Worse th is, those pple who donated will still be taxed since there are no proper forms to fill in for donations to the churches (ttz how it works in the UK). They are just using God's name to do what they want!!"
"... ..."
"Why do your church feels so exclusive? Christains. You started another fraction of the already heavily divided religion. If all of you believe in one God, why cant u go to other churches? Smtimes, pple just do/follow ths blindly."
So, the conversation turns sour and we still continue ou r pizza like nth happened. But deep inside, thoughts are stirred.
Really... Marpig just don like pple who keep insisting they are the REAL church etc. Itz load of crap. Set up church in house and collect donations but goes to "church". Pui
So, Marpig am totally not convinced nor impressed.

Oxford Part 2
Perhaps the best place in Oxford which Marpig visited is The Church of St. Mary the Virgin. As usual, one of Marpigz fav haunts while travelling in Europe are their churches. Itz structure, design, feeling it gives one, the sculpture details, words on the tombstones, etc are just so fascinating... even being grotesque (churches in Munich)
Notice Marpig starts to play around with the special effects!! :P The above are pictures taken in the church, next, are just special effects pictures of the surrounding buildings in Oxford.
Looks quite sinister... hmmm... think ttz how pple/films/etc create different moods for different themes...
