Anyways, other than that... i've been playing fm while working. which means... lots of FM and a bit of work.

GoogleEarth pics..... keeping myself occupied...

Where i lived last year: The blue spot on the bottom is my room last year. the one on the top is alice's.
so yea... heres half of the university on the left. the halls of residence on the right side. sum1 remind me again which ones the library? :P hehe jus kidding. i've been. :D

Where i live now. 8cloud green, cannon park, coventry UK, CV4 7DL. (if u wanna send presents!!!) hehe. anyways... the blue dot is me again. and... the yellow line is the path i take to the uni. the top left corner is tesco (a place i visit more often than school). and behind our house is... well... a cemetary... :S

My house in thailand. for safety reasons... im not gonna point out where exactly, but sum of u may b able to tell.

So yea... last weekend was Samaggi games... sportsday for thai people studying in the UK. ok, watever, ill jus get to the picstures...

some of the people from warwick...

Met up with old friends...

me n nakorn playing badminton. Blue dot = me again. we came 4th from almost 20 unis :) (fluke)

Thw warwick team... hmmm... im the one whos moving on the far right.

Me and Ong - "Killing thaisoc president"

And i had some time to stop by at a zoo. This is me and one of the mean, i ment... very mean... and bloodthirsty (and small) monsters; praer. hehe. just kidding... no seriously.. i am!

A picture i put up on my room. Bought it from thailand last year. its nice...

My growing plants... :)

just a random picture... my mouse [edited].

A cool lamp i bought from thailand :D hehe... its so cool! i can even style the fur :P

Well... i didnt know what to make that day... so decided to make 'goong pud phong curry' but the problem was the prawns were too frozen n all stuck together, so i had to defrost all of it, which wud mean i need to use all of it. So... change from prawns to chicken :P hhahaha... dunno why. but yea... turned out OK. hopefully next time i make it with prawns it shud b better.

Cant wait to get back to thailand!!! miss my alice so much!
Thats me n alice in my kitchen (UK).

And after a long day of shopping in birmingham... we ended up eating at... Nando's, Bullring...

Thats all for now then...
Will be home in less than 3 weeks!!!

It's been a while...

Sat, 11 Feb 2006 10:20:09 GMT

So yea... finally decided up update my Xanga... now that i have work to do, its an excuse not to do it:P
Been back to thailand, n been back heree in the UK with alice... now im all alone again... hmmm... anyyyways, lets get right to the pictures b4 u guy get bored!

Back in those days... :) bank sean me toshi @ dreamworld. this was i dunno about 5 years ago? hehe. of course i also edited 5 years ago using paint... hehe.

Same as above, on the Hurricane... i think it was this time that we set a record of going on 20 times... till dremworld closed... hmm... n the controller guys were pretty helpful too, kept us going round n round... hehe... so yea...

And...... heres nakky eating noodles at bps...

And pong^......

And while in thailand... we went to take pics @ uSmile

Im jus being random now... n heres my MSN pic... edited from a pic i took in france. hehe...

And so... heres alice on her graduation day! Standing in the uni... and yea... look at those shoessss... hahaha... the temp that day was around 0 celcius, and there were sum frost on the ground. after a while... as u can expect... it became too cold so wen went home...

so... this pics in my room... alice giving her feet a rest ;)

More pics from gaduation...

and more...

and finally sum1 takes a pic for us... ... hmmmm... one of the very few pics we got together that day.

And..... inside the Warwick arts center...
hmm... people here dun really buy flowers for graduation but they all seem interested... about 5 people came to ask where we got the flowers from... hehe.

And... one of the new items in my room that i brough over with me this time... if u cant tell its a hanging lamp shade... it came in lil peices of plastic n i had to put it together here. :) other thins i brought over includes a coat tree (abt 10kgs :P ) and a shelving unit. but didnt take pics of that yet.

Potatoesss... it is their last picture before they were mashed... and eaten... :)

So..... i was home alone... n bored, n missing alice... so i started cookin myself a proper meal. Todays menu... beef steak, medium-rare, mashed potatoes, and fried asparagus... then...

Add gravy... yup i made it alll myself, inc the gravy :)
very soft meat cuz it was kinda undercooked... but the beef itself had a lot of tendons, so sum part were sticky...

and then... the part i hate... washing up... well... so much washin up for a person to do isnt it? this wasnt all, i did wash sum stuff first while cookin the others... eg chopping board, knife, peelers etc. This was kinda nescessary cuz... if i wanted to eat all the stuff hot... then i gotta cook it all at the same timeee.. hehe...

one of the three potted flower plant thingy in my room... supposed to have flowered when alice was here... but its a bit slow... so ill post pics wen its properly flowered!

And... hahaha... my attempt to grow 'kapow' (basil) and 'pak chee' (corriander)... so i can cook them... hehe... placed next to the heater so it will be niceeee and warm :D
Anyyyyways, thats about it then... wish me luck for marketing asignment due this week, which i havnt really started yet. and yea... hope to see u all soon!

By the way, check out more pics at www.xanga.com/littlemissalizz
pics include pataya trip with jate bank nak, dinners, siam ocean world, i forgot wat else... hehe...

Well... as u can all see on my MSN name... 4 weeks left... but its actually 26 days, which makes it a little bit under 4 week... i am soooo looking forward to going back!!! (and u know why!) anyways, Slight change of plans, im not going sydney anymore, but insted to bangkok... okok, enough of that... pictures! hehe...
Alright... first... well... just take a look for u'rselves!

Bird feeding... with my lil bro n lil sis... and dont laugh cuz i didnt choose the outfit!

This is the sign infront of nakorn's (current) bedroom... and it has been marked 8/10 by Jo... who has already suggested nakorn to start taking thai language class...

Well... u probably wondering what is all this... hehe... this picture was from last year... in june... wen i had to move out of my old place... this is the stuff for cooking... in the kitchen... and jus incase u were wondering... we do have MORE this year! hmmm...

So... all that fits in here... and plus the stuff in my room... it fits into two of these trolleys. The trolleys are urmmm... from... Iceland (retailer of frozen food, located nearby the Uni). Well, moving out of my place to another... hmmm... yea... its a lot of trouble... the other trolley was even bigger than this... but didnt get to take a picture. I also had 3 more luggages full of stuff... dunno where i got so much!

Anyyyyyways, moving off that topic... this is my little plant... well... my Basil plant (Kapow). I use it to make my pud gapow! ;) the one next to it (left) is chives... good with baked potatoes... and the one which i have tried to leave off the picture is nakorn's basil... which is a bit dead... well, was almost dead till i volunteered to help look after it for him.

So... Food pictures! ok, this is... if u cant tell... my Tom yum Gai namh khon (tom yum chicken with coconut milk).

And while i was sick (health-wise, not mind-wise!)... I made some Joak... with eggs and muu sub...

... Now ... a few days ago was the anniversary of the failed 'gun powder plot' so there were loads of fireworks going off... heres a preview...

Urmm.. now before we jump into any conclusions about the picture above... hmm... ok watever... the picture jus happened to turn out like that! So no i dont take biology and no they do not glow in the dark...!!! (i'm not sure about that tho... maybe if u eat a certain sumthin it will? i dunno...) so yea... moving on!!!

Even tho i do have a lot of work... i still find sum time to jus play around with photoshop... well... heres my phone... in B/W... looks a lot better than blue! why didnt they make it that colour!??!

And my attempt to draw an abstract picture of a couple on the beach... hmmm... tel me what u think...

And this is my new wallpaper... :)

So yea, every1 good luck with your work... and wish me luck too!
That's all Folks! ;)

Tue, 20 Sep 2005 15:21:03 GMT

wow... i havnt created a new blog since my girlfriend came back to thailand and now everything has changed... so fast!! hmm... well... ill stick to the basic black letters n all. dun wanna waste time makin it look all pretty cuz no1 will read this shit anyways. jk. or maybe not :S hehe.

so yea.... well... praer sent me the 'confess about 5 weird things about yourself' disease and the only cure is to do it n pass it on to 5 other people (how selfish!) yea so... here we go... but it is kinda hard for me to think about 5 weird things about myself... cuz im not that weird... but yea... i guess i'll have to try otherwise ill vbe stuck with this disease forever...

1) whenever i am hungry, i want to eat. and after eating... i get full... and yea... the cycle goes on... fascinating isnt it!?!

2) usually at the end of a long day... i get tired n feel kinda sleepy... oh n in class too... yea... i get sleepy and its easy for me to fall asleep so then... usually i just sleep at the end of the day.

3) wow... it is really hard to think about the weird things i do... i never knew it wud be this hard! ... hmmm... ok... well... number three woiuld have to be... i like school! but i hate classes... they are boring... yea... the best time is school is when its about to end.. the feeling of waiting for school to finish... like all the people looking at their watches and starting to quietly pack their stuff away... etc. u know... just... when it ends...

4) urmm... i can talk. u know... like... i can actually speak... yea... both thai and english! its like... wow! right??

5) well... the last weird thing about me is that i seem to think im the only normal person and every1 is weird (except praer). haahahahaha! jus kidding... praer is weird too but in different ways to other people. and nakorn... yea... he's totally weird! hahaha jus kidding nakky! u'r jus normal weird... if u know what i mean... and... alice is weird... in a weird way... yea... watever.

so yea.. thats the weird things about me... and just to add to this post... hmm... i'll give 5 normal things about me!!!

1) i hate fish from skin to bone... its disgusting and it stinks. i dunno how you weird people eat that thing!! its scales turn me off. (...food wise)

2) i can sing high notes :P hahaha. like the the song.. urmm.. 'loving you' by minnie ripperton... i can sing the lalala part... but of course not the the ahhhhhhhhaaaa part. thats too high... she probably ate a dog wistle when she was young or sumthin.

3) i can annoy people i dont know (and of course people i know... that you know). or do sumthin very normal in public just for the hell of it... like urmm... asking for a discount when i buy sumthin thats 5 baht. or... say hello to people i dun know... or laugh at sumthin sum1 is selling... or take the piss (not take A piss okie?) out of people doing weird things... especially when they laugh funny.

4) hmm... me like to sleep on the floor. i mean... who likes sleeping on matresses? right??? its so uncomfortable.. its like... sleeping on sumthin soft... i mean... who wud like that? so yea... another weird company to add to praer's list: matress retailers... why dun they go bust? they actually make profit!!! how amazing is that?

5) i think the most normal thing today was me writing 4 (and including this will be 5...) normal things about myself. its normal so why write about it?

ahhh forget it... my eyes r tied so i cant b bothered to type anymore. and by the way... does any1 here have a brain? why the hell this u read all that???

oh yea... 5 people i wanna pass this disease on to... is...:

1)Alice - good luck!

2)sean (though shit - find a way!)

2)judy

2)this position is avaliable if sum1 wanna apply... just leave a comment below n ill get back to u

2)also empty and avaliable so u can apply... two places avaliable!! ;)

well... i cudnt b bothered to type the different numbers after the second one so i copy n paste... hope thats ok... :S

so yea... here's an update and actually the first one without any pictures!!! bet no1 read it! hehe. wat a waste of time!

The football feild behind Alice's flat

An edited virsion of Tigger n Piglet... i guess they have to say goodbye to each other too?

So we'r back from scotland and got plenty of pics to share... so... here i go...

Princes street gardens... Not long after we got to edinburgh... picture with edinburgh castle in the background.

View from calton hill.. a little rain but the rainbow makes it worth it. Unlike the rainboe in paris this one is a thick stright rainbow... not bad aye?

Same... view from calton hill... but in the background this time.

And again...

if u were wondering... yes i did edit the color of this picture... :D otherwise it wud look like the one above. thats not worth posting is it? this gives a more sunset/ancient effect to the city

Here's Arthur's seat in the background... and alice and I before we climbed it the next morning.

On our way up... quite a scary walk actually... so i tried not to look down... so i took a picture up... hehe... Theres no pictures from the top worth posting cuz i did make a mess of the pictures i took up there.. haha.. sorry! The view looks nice but its more like a 'be there thing'. Very windy up there, but not so cold... took about 1 hour up and 1 hour down, if u go to edinburgh... dont miss this!

Alice in Edinburgh Castle :)

View from Edinburgh castle

View of Nelson monument and Arthur's seat (the mountain we climbed - well, not climb climb... but walked up... u know...) in the background.

Sunsetting on our way back to Warwick.

Same... this ones really nice... with rays of light the passes through the clouds becoming visible... Original colour... i didnt edit it that much for this... it was a gold sunset.

And again... this pic does look a little like the background of the windows XP wallpaper... but with the sunset insted of daylight.

Alice wanted to eat muffins... so we made it... here's a sample of our chocolate chip muffin. :D

...And this is me... preparing for lunch... :D now u know why they let me cook!
