Milan: The Shopping Paradise...

for the rich and famous!

Summer Trip

Pit Stop #3: Milan

Hello readers! Just to say that I'll be extremely busy until September 17. That's the date for my submission of my dissertation. I hate to admit it but yeah I'm not doing so good at the moment. I have three weeks left and it seems there isn't enough time for every single thing. FML. Right after that date, I'll have fun like nobody business ;)

Jumping shot at the Duomo

I know I look funny with the tongue out (It's reflex!)

Seriously, among all the places I've visited, Milan is the one with the least photos. The city is much modern compared to the rest and well like the title said, it's all about shopping so there isn't much to sightsee anyway :p

Depart from Madrid to Milan with Ryanair. Arrived early evening, supposed to check in at Hotel Diablo BUT when we arrived there, there was no room for us. Apparently previous occupiers lost their passports the night before while partying so they had to extend their stay. The hotel booked us into another hotel and after another half an hour walking (He told us it only took 10 minutes! Big fat liar!), we finally arrived:

Hotel Mayorca

It's more expensive than the one we intended to stay but it was covered. However, there's no free breakfast nor wifi, as offered by the previous one. Somehow, don't know how or why, Dionn and I managed to access their internet though! So freaking happy :) ~~Facebook>Pet Society / Restaurant City...~~

Dinner for the day : Aperitivo (Happy Hour)

Aperitivo is highly recommended to anyone who's heading to Milan. Happened between 7-9pm in local pubs and bars, one has to pay for their drink (cocktails, beers, etc) and get to eat for free! It's not just only a dish or two. It's ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET!!! We ate a lot of dishes and their desserts were good too!

Duomo

-Us-

Day 2 in Milan was a 1/3 sightseeing, 1/3 locating places and 1/3 shopping. We did not take turistic bus here because it was expensive and most places are quite close to each other. So we walked, stopped and walk.... Here were some of the places that we've been to:

Castello Sforzesco #1

Castello Sforzesco #2

Galleria Victorio Emanuele #1

Wikipedia called this place the mother of all shopping malls!

Galleria Victorio Emanuele #2

Interior

Galleria Victorio Emanuele #3

Gucci Cafe

*surprisingly, the menu isn't that expensive*

Lastly, our lunch:

I regretted not buying anything in Milan. I only bought special edition Coke bottles for Jon. Mom and Dionn bought heels that has the 'Made in Milan'. T_T I should have buy a pair!!!!

PS. I still prefer Barcelona/Madrid over Milan :) Things are too expensive for me in Milan, but in Spain... IT'S DIFFERENT!

Goodbye!

Summer Trip

Pit Stop #2: Madrid

Catedral de la Almudena

So here is a quick update of my trip to Madrid, pit stop #2. I've forgotten to mention that we travelled from Barcelona to Madrid via ALSA coach, departing midnight and arrived early morning. Voila! Save a night from staying in hotel.

Plaza Mayor

However, we arrived way too early and we weren't allowed to check in until after 4 hours or so. So we went breakfast at McDonalds and wondered around Gran Via and omg the area is one hell of a shopping area!

Lunch

Pizza

Paella

First day in Madrid was rather casual. We made it the 'Shopping Day' and hence not much photos was taken.

On the second day....

Going places with local turistic bus (again)

(I'm very sleepy now so coming up, less text and lot of photos!)

Our first stop: Plaza de España

The two buildings behind the sculpture is supposed to be Madrid's prominent skyscrapers.

To me, they look like normal ordinary buildings though, sorry =(

Caught sight of rainbow!

Ps. The necklace I bought the day before! It was less than 3 Euros! Super cheap! Nods!

Templo de Debod

With mom at Palacio Real

The other side of Palacio Real

Plaza Mayor

and it's LUNCH TIME =)

We ate paella again because there're so good.

FYI, two different types of paella!

Our journey continued and we rushed ourselves through time because all we care about then was SHOPPING. We were trying to do ~~all~~ as many sightseeing as we can before all the shop closes...

Arc De Alcala

Stadium of Real Madrid

The under construction: Plaza de Cibeles

I think it looks cool that the whole structures are wrapped in such a way =)

Last photo:

The reversed side of Spain flag,

Final ride on the turistic bus,

First and last ride on the roof seating,

Off we go to shoppppppping!

Goodnight now!

Hola Barcelona!

Summer Trip 2010

Pit Stop #1: Barcelona

Casa Batlló

So my summer trip has finally ended. Before I go on babbling about how much I'm left behind from doing dissertation, I'll pretend that I'm a carefree person with nothing in my mind except reminiscing my summer trip. Lalalalala~

Depart for Barcelona on 17 July 2010. Arrived in Girona, took a bus to Barcelona city centre and by then, it's evening, which means no sightseeing but hey, there's food =)

Tapas!

Dessert

We ate at a place at place called LIDO which is near to where we've stayed. It was introduced by the receptionist of the hostel and food was great and price was okay too. We even ordered Sangria which is a typical wind punch in Spain and I LOVE IT.

Breakfast in the morning @ Bracafe (sounds a bit obscene I know)

Single Day: 22 Euros, 2-Day: 29 Euros

Our trip has been made easy when we've decided to go sightseeing with the turistic bus. Mom has hurt her leg before she came over so we have to minimise our walking. It was all worth it as it stopped at all tourist attractions...

Casa Milà

Both Casa Mila and Casa Batlio are the works of Gaudi who are very into waves. It's surprising to me that both Casa are just around random shops and buildings. The next stop was also the works of Gaudi (he's like the Ronaldo of Spain- even my mom felt for him and talked about Gaudi throughout the trip -.- ):

Sagrada Familia

Park Güell

This is the best shot of myself from the rest of the trip!

Mom. I. Dionn

Weather was very and extremely hot. I've never been this hot since I'm in UK and totally forgotten how hot Malaysia has been. Thanks Spain for 'reminding' me wtf.

The closed Camp Nou stadium (Barcelona FC)

Sightseeing on Sunday seems not to be such a good idea. Everywhere we went, it's packed with people and even the stadium was closed early T_T. We could only snapped photo from one of the gate.

Plaça d'Espanya

In another way, being in Spain on a Sunday is good too because that's the only time you get to see:

Bull Fighting

I 'WAS' very excited about it. My image of bull fighting is just the bullfighter; swinging around the red cloth around the bull and avoid being hit by the bull.

*although in this case, the cloth was in pink/yellow*

Sorry, we were sitting quite far although we paid 30 euros for each ticket

(very expensive to me because I can buy clothes with it okay)

IT'S MORE THAN THAT.

The bull will be killed and throughout the almost 2 hours show, 5 or 6 bulls was killed.

It was killed with spear and dragged away by horses.

I'm not trying to be sentimental and all but killing innocent bull just like this is not right. Imagine for this show, 6 bulls were killed. The show runs every Sunday and let's not just forget this is not the only place to catch a bull fight. Nevertheless, this will be the one and only bullfight show I'll have ever watched.

Dinner for the day at La Rambla

Second day in Barcelona was a rather slow pace one because we've visited most of the places that we wanted to on Day 1.

Breakfast at Bracafe again =)

Random photos for Day 2:

Art/Photo exhibition at Caixa Forum

(no photo policy inside the building)

That covers most of my Barcelona trip. The only thing that spoilt my mood was my broken contact lense. It was new and broken when I opened it from its seal. So for the first day of the trip, I only have one proper eye sight, which is very hard because so much energy has to be placed on it to see things clearly. My fault for giving up my specs (It's a trip and I don't want to be nerdy okay!)

Got to go bed now. Goodnight!

Congraduations, Jon!

noreply@blogger.com (Devonn) — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 00:12:00 +0000

Proudly presenting:

THE GRADUATE, JONATHAN!

Attended his convocation last Thursday at Bridgewater Hall.
His family was here. Mine (my mom + sis) was there too to celebrate with him!

Earlier today (Friday)(woke up at 4am), we went to Newcastle to attend my sister's one. Photos are with Jon and he had went off to travel with his family to Scotland =(

All their hard works for the past 9 months had finally paid off. It's funny how I'm not graduating yet because most of my friends and my sis too had graduated. Even though I'm finishing this coming September, my ceremony will not be soon. Apparently I've to wait till next July? Lol. AND Jon's cousin thought I'm graduating too and bought a gift for me! So I've got my one-year earlier graduation present! Teehee!

Off to bed now. I'm off for my summer trip with my mom and sister in less than 6 hours!!! *VERY EXCITED* *nods*

BYEEEEEE!!

A New Place Called Home

noreply@blogger.com (Devonn) — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 14:28:00 +0000

It's been a week since I've moved out from student accommodation. I've spent too much money for my new home but nevertheless, I'm really loving it here =) Here are photos of my flat (and yes, just photos):

Living room #1

Living room #2

Living room #3

From here, you can see that the living room is connected to the kitchen. This is perhaps the one thing I don't like about this house. When cooking, all the smokes and smells from cooking spread all around. It'll be perfect if there's a sliding door or something to separate these two =)

Kitchen #1

Kitchen #2

Kitchen is rather small and there isn't enough space to use when cooking =( Maybe because I'm so used to big cooking area in my previous student hall =(

The walkway that separates the living area and bedrooms

# Door on the right is the toilet

The toilet

I dislike the very dim lighting in the toilet

Angela's room:

Her room has greater light exposure than mine

Master bedroom:

I'm writing this post at the table on the far left =)

*It's my study table till September*

I've been delaying my dissertation for 2 weeks because of moving out and next Monday is the due date for another 5k words *bang my head on the wall* Sorry for the simplicity of this post but I've to go now =)

PS. Sis will be here this weekend and my mom is coming next week and we're off for holiday then (CANT WAIT!)

noreply@blogger.com (Devonn) — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 18:28:00 +0000

So now I’ve moved out from my hall. From packing stuffs to boxes, to uploading them to new place and downloading them from new place to install appropriately… OMG MOVING OUT IS VERY TROUBLESOME! And I don’t want to do it anymore anytime soon.

Imagine also checking letting sites every single day and calling them all the time to book a viewing appointment. Some of the agency can be f**king annoying because

They don’t call you back that appointment has been cancelled as the place has been taken and wtf I only found out when I’ve reached that house;
They don’t call you to arrange for an appointment even when they say they will;
Most of them made me REALLY PISSED because of their British accent and they can’t understand me even if I speak very clear English *bang my head on the wall*
They waste a lot of my phone credit 5) I called an agent before to tell them that after viewing, I like the place and would like to have it. They took my details and never call me back when the place was taken. F**K’em!

Phew! Now that everything had settled down, I’m so relieved. Body ache + muscle cramp at the moment. The only disadvantage is that there isn’t internet connection now that I’ve typed this post via Microsoft Words and now borrowing a connection of a friend to publish. So cham right?

I don’t have photos for my new house yet so for this post, I’ll reminiscence my ‘home’ for the past ten months: Cambridge Hall of Residence

Descriptions:

1. I stayed in North court

2. I’m in D block

3. I’m on the highest floor- 3^rd floor WITHOUT lift kthx (lots of exercise here okay)

4. Lots of Malaysians are staying here

5. Lots of naughty, mischievous, idiot, brainless ‘angmohs’

Okay. This need explanation so here is the breakdown:

a. My flat’s doorbell sounds like fire alarm which sucks. These people rang them a lot for non stop in the midnight (3am or so). HELLO? We need sleep okay!
b. Once, the hall way of the 3^rd floor was very noisy so Jon went to peep from the door to find that one ‘siao kia’ peeing at our door! I cannot tahan wei!
c. Once in a while (probably once in a month), they broke the glasses on the door to every floor. Don’t know what’s so fun about this -.-
d. They are like beggars that like to ask for cigarettes from you.
e. They party and drink like nobody business (actually this is not a problem to me if they do no harm but when they party, they get drunk and it leads to point a, b and c.

My lovely noticeboard

6. While I’ve requested to stay with international students, my flatmates changed from time to time as they were here for a short term. My flat is for 5 people only and towards the end of my stay, I’ve had 2 Austrians, 1 Canadian and 2 Chinese from China flatmates.

7. Certain flatmates can be very frustrating and they can made me (very) angry -.- :

a. The girl left red stain (you know what it is) and even her pee on the toilet seat
b. The boy do not aim properly too and leave stain too -.-
c. (very disgusting) The boy did not flush properly after releasing something big and did not even take the initiative to brush it off
d. When defrosting a chicken, they left it on the table, without any plate below it and the blood just flow freely to the drawer, under the microwave….and recently they did not close the freezer properly so the blood flows out from the freezer and all over the floor
e. They again did not wipe the dining table after use, leaving cooking area very wet or just leave leftovers on the washing basin.

I felt pissed mentioning them and thank god I only have to bear with them for ten months. Nevertheless, I am quite happy with my stay in Cambridge Hall larh.

My awesome kitchen:

Toilets and shower room which can be very disgusting at some points by irresponsible flatmates:

Nothing much to say and I felt bad using friend's internet connection like super-can-die without internet attitude -.-

So I've to go now. Need to heat up bah kut teh for dinner =)

Will post my new place soon =) (let's hope it won't take me ten months)

Me vs. Kokeshi Doll

noreply@blogger.com (Devonn) — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 16:27:00 +0000

I know this is lame but I've forgotten to include this picture into my previous post. Hahahaha! We are identical okay! I wished I was in kimono as well though >.<

Firenze SMN

noreply@blogger.com (Devonn) — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 15:36:00 +0000

Pisa-Florence-Pisa

DAY TWO

All set and ready for another day of discovery!

So on the second day, we planned for a day trip to Florence, famous for Michaelangelo and more churches/heritage/buildings....

What we need for a boost in the morning was nevertheless:

Breakfast! Duh!

I ate panini and I remembered I ordered Ginseng tea which doesn't taste like one.

Waiting for train to Pisa

Train from Pisa - Florence (€11.40 return)

And check out the time. We initially planned to leave early morning like 8a.m.

It's still morning though =)

The ride took about an hour or more. I couldn't remember because I was sleeping *yawn* and here we were at Florence:

HAHAHAHA!

It's so funny because this is NOT the right stop and we thought it was. We (okay the rest but not me) camwhored so much at the station, only to find out later that we're supposed to stop at Firenze SMN, another stop after this. LMAO

A-ha! Finally at the right station!

Photos of Attractions:

(sorry but I'm lack of words to express now)

Located just across the train station:

Museo di S. Maria Novella

The most significant of all:

S. Maria del Fiore (symbol of the city)

@ The Duomo (Yes, Pisa has one as well)

Inside the church #1

Inside the church #2

The Dome which I did not climb =(

It has more than 414 steps. I don't mind going up but I don't like coming down these stairs (kind of phobia going down -.-)

However, Jon, Yenling and Angela went up:

When they came down, we were all hungry =(

Q= How to look for a fine restaurant?

A= Look for one with toilet! Haha

It's true because toilet can be very expensive here. Imagine per entrance is €1 (which is close to RM5).

So here we are at yet another Italian restaurant:

Another round of pasta, lasagne and pizza (not in pic)

Then: ICE CREAM for dessert =)

Yum, yum, yum =)

Then, we moved on for more attractions (yes more pictures, less writing):

Ponte Vecchio:

~the only bridge that survived the WW2 in Florence~

Palazzo Vecchio

Town hall of Florence

Copy of Michelangelo's David statue at Palazzo Vecchio

(We didn't get to see the real one as we ran out of time and it was further from where we are)

Venetian mask

Before we left, we passed by the Duomo again, less crowded and group photo:

The masks that we've bought with a polaroid of Jon & I (yeah, the Leaning Tower again)

That's all for now. Sorry for the lack of creativity. I have to proceed with my dissertation now. Bye =)

Trip to Pisa

noreply@blogger.com (Devonn) — Mon, 31 May 2010 14:04:00 +0000

Pisa-Florence-Pisa

Hello! My blog has been pretty dead for quite sometime. Imagine this is only my second post for May and uh, today is the 31st!

So last week, I was on holiday at Pisa, Italy. It was a three days two night trip. Six of us travelled together and we are:

Yen Ling, Dionn, ME, Jon, Angela, Joyce

Yen Ling is Jon's classmate and we hang around quite pretty much- we made prawn mee together before (which I would blog soon *I hope*). Angela is Jon's cousin and at the same time, she and Joyce are my sister classmates since in TAR College and they are in Newcastle (Northumbria Uni) to study Degree together. Fuh.... what a long explanation to clarify the relationship -__-

Fantastic ice-cream =)

The three of them travelled from Newcastle to Leeds and Jon, Yenling and I traveled from Manchester to Leeds. Well, we were flying with Ryanair and we paid £27.30 for a return ticket. Cheap right? Dionn and I supposed to plan for Prague too but the price went up so soon T_T

Train from Manchester to Leeds

*my eyes were so small*

At Piazza del Duomo

Hahahaha! If you would have noticed, I CUT MY HAIR. Fringe this time. Despite many arguments whether to have a fringe or not, I go on with that fringe! £23 okay! So expensive! But it was my first hair cut in UK after EIGHT months! My hair was so ugly before this cut okay -_- I'm lovin' it!

4a.m. breakfast at Leeds train station

We arrived in Leeds train station at about 2a.m. Our flight was 9a.m. T_T We hung out in the station (okay, I was sleeping most of the time because I had sore throat and headache). After breakfast, we took bus 757 to airport; checked-in and FLY!

Snowy/Icy Mountains

View from airplane. Super chio!

After about 2 hour 45 minutes of flight, we arrived in Pisa! =)

We stayed at a B&B called Gate 52, it's very near to the airport and going to city is walking distance only. Room is comfortable, nice and cool too. Highly recommended =) After some sleep, it's time for adventure!

Lots of photos from now on:

On the way to Cathedral Square:

Town filled with old buildings renovated as shops with many many windows!

The Arno River

Lots of souvenir!

After walking and stopping for photos (lots of photos actually), we finally arrived at the Cathedral Square/ Piazza del Duomo

The famous Leaning Tower

Or known as the Torre pendente di Pisa

It's so famous that I've to take photo of it again

and AGAIN

and AGAIN!!!

Okay, one last one:

for this post only =p

At the Cathedral Square, there are other heritage to see apart from the Leaning Tower.

The Duomo

The Baptistry of St. John

The 'no trespassing' grass side at the Cathedral Square, which obviously we had trespassed

~Sorry~

Time for jumping scene!

This is the best shot compared to others, so I'll only put up one!!

Eh, wait a minute. Jon is really good with the jumping shot! Seriously!

It was so good that I think it can be part of an advertisement:

See? I told you guys so!

The day has almost comes to an end- with an Italian dinner =)

Pizza I (this is the best pizza I've ever eaten)

Pizza II

Seafood Risotto

Peso la Pasta

(the name is something like that)

That's it for today. I've just realized that my next submission for my dissertation progress is June 6th and I've always thought it's going to be June 12t. I'm dead again -.-

Ciao!

Backkkkkk!

noreply@blogger.com (Devonn) — Fri, 21 May 2010 02:01:00 +0000

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JON!

Hope you'll have a great one even though it won't be a grand one ;) We'll so something about it tomorrow, ok?
Thank you for loving and taking care of me all this while, and let's hope we have many more years ahead. I know you are kind of at the state of can't-bear-with-me-anymore since I'm so old-fashion in many ways. Something is definitely wrong with me :(

Hi people! Sorry that I've left my blog on hiatus for almost a month. Busy with assignments and many other things. Plus, my life isn't as interesting as all other people out there so yeah, you can stop reading after this one if you want to.

Next week is going to be a great week for me. Meeting with my sister and together, 5 of us (include Jon, Angela and Joyce) will head to PISA =) Ok, now at least it sounds like I'm going to have something to blog about.

I'm off to bed soon. Meeting my supervisor tomorrow to work on my dissertation. My mind has literally give up dissertation =( It's the one thing that I'm always demotivated to do and thinking of it makes me regret taking this master course -.- I suck and I'm weak =(

Anyway, before I go, yesterday it was my pet's birthday:

Paiseh! It's not Furby. It's my pet from Pet Society. Hahahaha. I even helped her to celebrate at her home:

Specially set up for her birthday. I did it in 10 mins so not bad la horh?

Looking forward for my break next week!

HERE I COME, THE LEANING TOWER!

Night

Easter the Eastern Way!

noreply@blogger.com (Devonn) — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 13:57:00 +0000

Few weeks back during the Easter break, I went to town and like an insane woman, I bought 2 boxes with 15 eggs in each of it. Yes, I'm going to use all of it at once ;)

I'm using all of them to cook:

HERBAL EGGS!

Okay. Don't expect me to know how to read all the Chinese words, I'm a half-ripe banana.

So what you need are these:

- pre-packed herbal eggs ingredients (like the one I was holding)

- rock sugar (get it in Chinatown)

- eggs (15 eggs will be enough for a packet. I have 2 and hence 30 eggs)

- a huge pot to boil all the eggs

- patience (because it has to be simmered for at least 3 hours T_T )

With all patience, here it is:

All ready to enjoy =)

Jon and I got the whole pot to Jon's house to share with everyone and we had lots of fun that night =)

When everyone has their eggs, we went down to ride on BICYCLE (as if I know how to ride ><)

I envied the fun of riding a bike!

It's kind of embarrassing that I'm the only one who do not know how to ride a bicycle. I've learnt it before, with the mini wheels at the back (four-wheel bicycles) when I was very young. AND I've learnt on two wheels before, but it was a child bike so it was small AND PLEASE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION MY HEIGHT THANKS!

We did many silly things which we filmed rather than captured in photos and I don't think all of them want to be seen in the video here. It's really funny and omg we are all legal adults but still acting like children... Haha

If you wonder where I were in this photo, can you see an extra hand right below Jon's arm? Haha. I fell T_T And the hand was not mine either. It was YenLing's and I was right below here T_T (Double slam?)

These are bunch of crazy people!

Gtg now. Work on dissertation =)

Turning Two-Three

noreply@blogger.com (Devonn) — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 15:23:00 +0000

Happy Birthday to Me!

(oh it's belated now)

So now I've turned 23 and 4 days to be exact...and I've been non-stop grumbling about how old I am getting but my friends would just go you don't look old at all which is a relief. So sometimes, when strangers/new people guess that I'm a high-schooler, I can't help but to be on cloud nine *daydreaming...*

Me and my Asda birthday cake

Thanks to Winnie *hug*

So my birthday wasn't a great one to start. The day before, I was so frustrated with preparing for exam and still doing so when it's finally 19th. I ended up sleeping only at about 5.30am and forced myself to wake up at 9a m: still not done with exam preparation and headed to *coughcough* library to continue...

Then, there's the exam from 1.30pm till 4.30pm. I think oldness contributes to tired right-hand when writing in exam. Urgh, I can't feel my hand!!!

This followed:

Thanks Andrea for the lovely cake!

That's me cutting the cake with a not-so-appealing face from youknowwhatreason

Then, I'm off home. I was really tired and sleepy and that's when I felt like all I really want for my birthday is a good sleep! However, Jon planned for a dinner with my friends and off we go....

Not quite yet. We stopped by the park near our hall and this beautiful tree was irresistible, I wondered if it's a sakura tree? lol. We were camwhoring for as long as half an hour, at least!

* I remembered I've edited a group photo with the girls but couldn't find it. I seriously think I did....*

This is where we headed to: Samsi Restaurant.

We initially wanted to go to another Japanese restaurant but it's too far away on foot. So we opted for a nearer one, just to try it for the first time (for most of us). Oh, US means all of us here:

Top row: Winnie, Simon

First row: Jin, Cheryl, Yenling, David, me, Jon, Aaron

I felt guilty a bit going here because the food is pricey. Very pricey actually :( I didn't know so I'll just say thank you and sorry to those had celebrated with me here! Paiseh larh....

Aaron playing with the DSLR...

*sorry larh, I don't know how to describe the photo...*

And this is my food!

Mixed seafood sukiyaki. It was really good!

I've actually shared my food with Jon but his unagi rice bento was not photographed. The bento was average.

Mixed sushi & sashimi set

It was £16.90 T_T

But *point* there's my favourite inari!

When we are all full and energetic, it's time for more photos at the restaurant:

See no evil, Speak no evil, Hear no evil

Haha

Our attempt with 'peace' pose cum act cute.

Nampaknya tak jadilah >.<'

So that's all from the restaurant. There's another mini celebration back at Cambridge:

Thanks everyone!

ps. I hate you all for making me blowing the candles over and over again =p

The birthday song moment

The rest of the photos below were taken for playing with slow shutter (enjoy!):

Simon supposed to be hero releasing his super power...

David with his 'thing', Aaron with his peace sign,

and eerr.... I'm not sure what Winnie was drawing

Photo's blurred but I put it up because Yenling got burnt :p

Me as a butterfly....

A flipping butterfly *I likey*

This is funny ;)

It's supposed to be boobies but I drew mine too high up. Hahaha

Our bikini attempt with someone drawing a fuzzy background

That's almost all for my birthday. Yenling wouldn't let me go so we're (4 of us) off to her place for some drinks....

and we were busy drawing trees..

Family trees!

I've made a mistake with my dad married to my sister... HAHAHAHA

And the party officially ended around 6.30AM.

Thanks to everyone who had made my day :)

Celebration of Birthdays..all in March

noreply@blogger.com (Devonn) — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 12:28:00 +0000

Yeap. As the titled said, MARCH seems to be a big day to so many people (well, it's considered a lot to me). I've been away to all these birthday celebrations so here's the compilation and a quick one as I don't have time to blog at the moment. Monday is my exam and yes, Monday is supposed to be MY day T_T

Dionn's at Newcastle which I've blogged about earlier

I. Andrea. Jolanda. Fiona. Xuan

Followed by Andrea's. We were at her place in Oldham for movie cum pizza night. We've watched Prime (Meryl Steep, Uma Thurman) and Twilight *wink wink* <-- I think I've watched it 4 times now.

Sherene's 21st Birthday at a karaoke bar which I don't get to

sing because I am not familiar with everyone *acting shy*

B'day girl: Top, far left

Cheryl's 21st Birthday.

Now this is a bit scary. 3x 21st birthday celebration in March. What's with babies from 1989? Lol

Just to show how long my hair is and see: sleeveless! It's not that cold anymore in Manchester...
Oh it's again at another karaoke bar (Chinese and their karaoke obsession) and I've got to sing here! The only problem with this place is the song is so old.....

Gtg. Off to library in half an hour :) Wish me luck!

"Recap of winter trip journey: Newcastle> Manchester> Paris> London"

Day 1

Bonjour!

Manchester to London

If you guys were aware, there has been a serious service disruption by Eurostar, the only train service to Paris from London last December. Their trains broke down due to the heavy snow and their schedule has been cancelled/ postponed. Well, we were travelling all the way to London just to try our luck anyway....

The glass building is St. Pancras International Train Station. We queued for more than half an hour to get into the building alone. Thank god there's volunteers giving out free food, including mince pie (my first time trying and they are yummy) and drinks. It was really cold and Jon wasn't with us and we had so many luggages to carry around. And oh, the queue didn't just end when we managed into the building. It continues for another hour until we reach Eurostar counter and fuh....thank god we managed to hop into one of their train *wink*

Arrival in Paris was a sour one. We tried to get on the taxi, with the address our landlord supplied. We rent an apartment in St. Maur and the place was really cool, with no picture though. So when he saw the address, he couldn't figure out where it is, and attempted to remove our luggages which he has already loaded into his taxi. He's a bit dishonest and I'm pretty pissed with him.

While we figured out the proper address- me calling the landlord, yadda yadda.... the taxi meter was still running. Taxi is so expensive. We did try to figure out our way by using train but then, the lady in customer service counter speaks French and only French.

When we finally figured things out and reach our apartment, the lady in charged guided us through our apartment in French, even when we told her that we couldn't understand at all. I've got to say that French is very ethnocentric :)

Day 2

With the bad experiences, we went on with our free and easy tour. As the day goes on, we think we did great- with intensive understanding of the maps and train routes. Travelling around was a piece of cake then ;)

First stop: Hotel de Ville

A very cool random man with kid offered us help when we wanted to get to Notre Dame de Paris by train and he told us to stop at Hotel de Ville and walked across the river for better view and all. He's right. The hotel was in our itinerary anyway....

Haha. I am too small to be the focus point.

Then, we crossed the river... (ok, now I am acting a bit lame to explain every single detail...)

I like how the trees are in a strrrrraight line :)

Notre Dame de Paris

*my head goes: thehunchbackofnotredame*

Interior of ~~hunch back of~~ Notre Dame

The good thing about Paris is that there's no snow there (I'm in the anti-snow list now btw). The bad news: we weren't having good luck and when we were leaving Notre Dame, it was raining.......

Third stop: The Pantheon

Then, we moved on the Lourve Museum

I think the only regret we really had was not visiting the Museum. It was pretty late and the ticket was pretty expensive for all four of us. So it's a waste because according to someone, it takes one whole day to see everything...... it was later that we found out that students might enter for free. Boohooooo

Day 2

Christmas Day

It's Disneyland

We woke up very early for this but because it's Christmas or whatever other reasons it might be, the train service delayed for so long and we were stuck at the interchange station for close to two hours and freezing..

Lot of photos

Greetings from Mr. Walt Disney and his Mickey Mouse

Arrival

I realized that I have a thing for the 'half hang leg' in my pictures... lol

See! Look at the leg (again)

I'm not sure it's Chip or Dale....

Us riding on a carriage....

Main entrance to Disneyland Park

We bought tickets to both Disney Studio and Disneyland Park and obviously we didn't have enough time to cover all, what's more with the delayed train service.......

Disney Castle

I think I almost closed my eyes, or they're just too small -.-

Winter Show

Palace of Verrsailles

*Super-duper far from wherever we were from or practically just anywhere -.-*

Huge and magnificent garden of Versailles Palace

Moving on to Eiffel Tower and Champs-Elysees...

That's all for Paris! Tata ;)

Sister's 21st Birthday

noreply@blogger.com (Devonn) — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 20:41:00 +0000

So Dionn celebrated her 21st birthday early March. It was supposed to be a surprise (by her friends) but for 'some unexplainable circumstances', she knew something was on. Hint: Angela wanted to text her friend that she could not get candles for Dionn's cake and oops, the message was sent to her instead. Hahahaha

She was still somehow surprised. Her friends managed to manipulate her to think that only 2 of them are coming over to celebrate her birthday at 12am sharp but instead, there were like 10 of them?

There are lot of photos taken with her friends but I'll leave it to herself to post her big day :)

To extend her celebration, we went dinner together at La Tasca and with seven girls and one boy, we ordered about 80 over tapas....and the waiter told us that nobody in the restaurant had ordered that much before. Are we good or what? (Kiasu)

'Part' of our food

Dionn and I

Group photo :)

Present time

From Jon and I

Guess what's inside?

Hope you like it, sis!

And this present didn't surprise her either! She seems to know everything -.-

Off to work on my not-at-all motivated dissertation. H-E-L-P!

When class is boring...

[Winter 2009] Manchester

noreply@blogger.com (Devonn) — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:07:00 +0000

'Paiseh' for this dragged cum outdated trip to Manchester post. Wait a sec! This doesn't sound right as I'm already in Manchester so it shouldn't be trip 'to' Manchester but trip 'around' Manchester -.- Talking about living in Manchester, I'm surviving pretty well right now and OMG: 6 months are how long I've been here. And horh, if it wasn't this trip to/around Manchester, I wouldn't have so much to say about Manchester.

Just a quick recap: My mom and bro were here to visit my sister and I so our itinerary was Newcastle (without me) > Edinburgh> Manchester> Paris> London. So from the itenerary, you can see that I have NOT talk about Paris and London yet. I'll try to get through it by next week (I'm not promising because I'll break it anyway. If you have been following, I've mentioned that I WILL BLOG ABOUT in several occasions but I did not so yeah...FML)

Albert Square during X'mas

Christmas Market at Albert Square

When we were there in the afternoon and heading somewhere else, which I can't remember where anymore. When we returned there on the next day, at night, the whole thing was over. Damn suey.

End of Christmas Market.

And we wanted to try German sausage and other stuffs -.-

Oh. I remembered where we were heading to: Chinatown: to take photo with the huge Chinatown sign/gate and then to buy tofu (because I'm going to cook for my family *proud of myself*)

Picadilly Garden #1

Picadilly Garden #2

The reason why there weren't many photos is because: WE WERE SO HUNGRY AND CAN'T WAIT TO EAT.......

INDIAN BUFFET!

Omg. I am craving for roti canai with dhal and kari ikan, magee goreng, chapati, kari kambing..... so friends: remember to bring me for a (or many) date(s) at mamak when I'm home! I only manage to eat kari kambing. No roti canai ;(

Me with a happy + not-so-proud-of chubby face

Happy and Very Full Family: Dionn, Mama, ME, Benny

Minus dad, abang, ah shou, Ryann and Haowern...and FURBY!

Oh when my family here, the snow was pretty heavy which was not a good news. We planned to go to Old Trafford Stadium early but the weather did not permit it...

Note to Sabine and Stefan: See our D31's TV!

View from my room's window

So we couldn't get to the stadium early.... but we managed to get there later anyway :)

Question: Do I look like my mom or not?

All of us :)

We went for both the stadium tour and museum and since Jon is working there, we managed to get staff price for our tix. Instead of the normal £10 plus entrance tix, we paid £4.25 for each ticket only :) Super duper dai!

PHOTOS FROM THE TOUR + MUSEUM

In the plastic bag: Man U Monopoly

So basically that's all for Manchester. Hahaha. Now Manchester is boring to everyone. Thanks to me :)
PS. I've NOT been to Manchester Museum which was omg-so-near-to-where-i-lived yet; have NOT been to the strip club yet, 3647364 things not done/seen in Manchester. FML -.-

Homecooked meal for mama, bro and sis and also Angela

Baby snowman, Medium snowman and Big snowman

Built by friends (so geng right?)

I am currently working at another MMU's campus and it looks like it's almost time go finish what I'm doing since 9am and go home :)

Busy, busy, busy

Well said through pictures. Off to bed now.

Happy Chinese New Year

noreply@blogger.com (Devonn) — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 01:30:00 +0000

Aloha. HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR. I hope it's not too late although it almost comes to an end...it's the 14th day of CNY wtf but still, it's the thought that counts, right?

I have had quite a blast on my cny celebration. Spent too much money too. Now I really need to keep myself grounded -.- Oh, not quite yet. I'm now in Newcastle and just got back from York. So, SPEND SPEND & SPEND.....

So basically, for the 'family reunion dinner' the night before cny, we have the Malaysian gang + 2 China girls for steamboat (aka hotpot to the British/Europeans).

Preparation:

Guys can be so..... *shakes head*

The menu (part of the menu only actually... )

Jon and I

And when food was ready.....

We've used this special soup called 'Xiao Fei Yang' (roughly translates as Fat Little Sheep?) and omg it tasted so good (if you can take the spiciness). After food, we were drinking and we played different types of games. One of it was pretty kiddish but still fun: 'PING PONG PIANG'. Err... I won't explained how the game is played but who ever loses has to make ugly face....

And as you can see, I'm one of the *coughcough* ultimate winner as I am not in the hall of ugly face's picture *sticking out tongue*

As simple and kiddish as our celebration sounded, we managed to hang on until about 6a.m. in the morning. When Jon and I woke up, it was already noon (on first day of CNY). I've never woke up so late on my first day of CNY before. Always very early but in Manchester, there's not much celebrations or CNY atmosphere going on so it just looks like another ordinary day to me which was pretty sad. I don't get to eat ba gua (dried meat), pineapple tarts, kuih kapit, etc.

So, Jon and I die die want to do something more special. So although it was late, we still head our way to Albert Square and Chinatown because friends told me there were CNY celebrations going on.

When we arrived Albert Square at about 4, nothing much had left :( HOWEVER.....

I was given a big pack of Soya Bean drink from one of the vendor. Haha

Better than nothing :)

So out of nothing, we took some photos before we left for Chinatown

Yeah that's me being very Chinese: wearing RED on the first day of CNY.

Jon was also wearing a red/white checkers top.

Thank god we made the efforts to Chinatown despite my boots hurt my feet to hell (£5 only what). It was so happening over there with lion dances, fire crackers, etc...

The 'angmohs' so happy to see the artificial firecrackers.

Lion Dance!

err....Dragon Dance!

I didn't find them very fascinating because in Malaysia, 2 person will handle one lion dance. The one in Chinatown was like a mini version only but of course, I have to consider where I was at the moment. I was really shocked when I heard the red firecracker though and more surprisingly....

As soon as the red firecrackers finished, fireman was there to put off the fire -.-

Lame or what -.-

When I walked closer to the scene, I realized that they light the red firecracker inside this 'cage':

After the whole lion dancing action, both of us actually waited for more than an hour for the grand finale: FIREWORKS display....

While waiting....

I am not camwhoring. Jon was testing his camera...

The fireworks was 'so so' only. There were few times where there were failure and they didn't shoot up as they should. They just fired on the ground, super scary. And the countdown by the host was like shit -.- After counting 3, 2, 1.... everyone got their camera ready on the sky but we had to wait for like another 30 secs for the fireworks to work...... seriously FML..... FOL (our)!

Now I really feel like 'balik kampung' to experience the REAL THING (though it's illegal but I can assured you everyone enjoyed them especially fireworks!)

First day of CNY would never end just like that. We continued our steamboat (we bought too much ingredients, that's why).

Our style of 'yee sang'

Me with prawns -.-

Oh when I arrived, my friends who watched Chinese Zodiac's show told me thatt as a Rabbit, I should not wear RED in the year of the tiger The 'ong' (lucky) colours for rabbit are grey and green -.- First day of CNY already so 'suey' -.- FML.

After dinner: Games!

We have: football, poker, snooker.....apa pun ada ;)

Doesn't look like accommodation hall for university students right? Hahaha

Off to bed now. Goodnight

[Winter 2009] Edinburgh Part II

noreply@blogger.com (Devonn) — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 00:21:00 +0000

It's day T.W.O in Edinburgh. Our pres-scheduled plan was supposed to see us in Loch Ness but then, we have like 101 reasons not to go at that time. One which makes up like 100 portions of the 101 is the WEATHER. It was so cold that all of us were freezing and we were told that we would not get the best view of Loch Ness during the winter cum snow. So that's when we've decided that we were not making a trip to Loch Ness; not seeing Nessie :( We'll do it in the future, I supposed :)

Day two was fun and we had the whole day visiting different places in Edinburgh. All prominent places, I think.We were lucky to have Eddie (Angela sister's good friend who had settled in Edinburgh for few years already and also the photographer of the above photo) to show us around :) (No photo of him to protect his privacy and integrity *haha*)

In a way, I really like Edinburgh :) It seems and felt different from other city. I'm not sure if it's because of the heritage or what, but I just felt more peaceful in Edinburgh than any other place. Perhaps, it felt more native?

The first place we stopped at was the parliament. At first sight, it doesn't look like one. It looks more like a place where Picasso get his inspirations from, seriously :) The place was really huge with unique design and everything over the top. Unlike the one we have it here and here -_______- The only image I can see from those pictures linked are images of politicians having catfight, which I've watched in youtube *shakes head*

The place was not that big but we spent a lot of time inside. Either we really find it fascinating inside or we were so cold that we don't feel like going outdoor -.-

*Be honest: Am I rounder?*

Dionn & I

Next short & quick stop:

Holyroodhouse Palace

*The place where the Queen will stay when visiting Edinburgh*

Next: dunnowhereisthis

Like I said, we have a friend who brought us around and with someone to depend onto, I did not really see what this place was.

Okay. The place is called 'dynamic earth' where you will find out anything about protecting the Earth, I supposed?

We headed to a Museum of Edinburgh/Scotland (I can't remember which) after that. No photo because everything inside is typical museum stuffs -.- BUT when we were leaving, heavy snow stroked! Wait, not quite right... it's HEAVY SNOW + HEAVY RAIN. It was so scary because the weather looked fine just before we went into the museum. We spent like 45 minutes inside (despite being a typical museum) and once out, it's like we were in another place.

Once the rain stopped, the heavy snow did not but we were so excited (snow amateur wtf) so we ran out one by one to have our photo captured! Shiok!!

Mine!

We were under the museum's shelter for sometime before getting elsewhere. It was really heavy that my photo above would not be able to present it as it is >.<' We were starving after the snow and after lunch, the sky turned dark (about four?)

So we headed to new town again (we were there every single day).........

Scott Monument

surrounded with........

Fun fair!

NOT FORGETTING.....

Edinburgh Castle (again and I've told ya!)

So our Day 2 probably ended after a walk at New Town and also the worst fish & chips dinner at Old Town. (Writing 'Old Town'; now I missed Malaysia Old Town's Ipoh Hor Fun T_T )

Day THREE was the last day in Edinburgh. We proved to have not plan our trip well as we have the whole day in Edinburgh without anything much to do. Our train back to Manchester was later in the evening so here are photos taken on day THREE:

Visiting Bobby at Greyfriars Kirkyard

I have once heard story of Bobby from Seakchiew and I'm not going to tell the story over here. Summary: Bobby spent 14 years guarding his owner graveyard before it died. Wikipedia here (and my summary is quoted from there as well wtf).

Bobby's Grave

In National Museum of Scotland I

In National Museum of Scotland II

JK Rowling's 1st Harry Potter's inspiration begun here!

Piper playing Great Highland Bagpipe

Right opposite our hostel is Museum of Childhood. That's where Devonn turned 8.....

Haha. Laugh all you want but it was really fun :)

Lastly, you would have guessed which spot *coughcastlecough* that we've been seeing everyday...

The mighty Edinburgh Castle.

HAHA *slap me*

Before I forget, here's where we have stayed in Edinburgh:

Err...too small to see? It's the small door with orange plat leading towards upper floor, between the light blue shop and 'The Tappit Hen'. It's called Brodies Hostel and the place looked fabulous to us. Room was fine except with noisy heater. We loved the well-equipped kitchen and the location as well as clean shower room :)
Warning: This is just how I felt about the hostel. Take the recommendation or just leave it. Everyone has different expectation so do not complain how bad it was, etc if you are there and unhappy with what it has to offered because of how good you thought I've said it was supposed to be.

Inside the hostel I

Inside the hostel II

*I'm rounder, right?*

Malaysians were here before (like-duh). Here is the proof:

Spot the 'Ringgit Malaysia' game.

If you can't spot it, here it is.

ps. If you are bored of me wearing the same winter coat, there's more on the SAME WINTER COAT in my upcoming posts. So it's either you bear with it, or just don't look at me -.- Explanations: No money and I was glad I didn't buy many of coat since I don't wear it anyway at the moment. It's not thaaaaaaat cold anymore *rolleyes*

pss. Talking about my winter coat, it's from GAP okay and *proudlyandcoughcough* it was from the children's section which I can fit :) More importantly, it's like 50% cheaper than the adult one. Now I am fking proud of my height wtf!

Next up: MANCHESTER (Sounds over the top but I've been here for close to 5 months already ...)

Now: Busy with assignments and dissertation is starting soon. Chinese New Year is around the corner and I don't feel it at all -.- (nor Valentine's Day). Have to do research now, kthxbai!

It's DOUBLE N! Remember that!

noreply@blogger.com (Devonn) — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 14:21:00 +0000

This post is short as it is meant to be short as I do no want to say anything else but this(nothing serious so go on, read it :)

Forget about how people always pronounce my name wrongly. They usually called me 'Dev-Vern' (Dev as in how you pronounce Devil's 'Dev' and my name seriously sounds like 'Devil' then -____-

Just remember that my name is spelt with DOUBLE-N at the end.
It's D-E-V-O-N-N, remember that.
Surname is LEE and it is just DEVONN LEE, very easy to remember, right? *I hope*

Forget ONE N and when you are attempting to access my blog with just ONE N......*shakes head*
See it for yourself here. You don't have to click if you are under 18 and oh, aren't you tempted to click even more when I said so?

Thanks my ex-flatmate for letting me know ;)

Winter Trip (Quickie) Part I

noreply@blogger.com (Devonn) — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 02:39:00 +0000

My winter trip begun with:

Yeap! All the way up...to the north.

Upon arrival, the sky is getting dark already, so we didn't have much time for sightseeing that day. We were just walking around the area nearby our hostel and stopped at:

The Edinburgh Castle

I guess this castle is place that nobody will missed when they visit Edinburgh (duh!). It is so significant that:

We were there again later that night! Hahaha

And talking about photos... we were supposed to have more photos for our first night in Edinburgh but there were all permanently deleted... so yeah, less photo.. hence shorter post this time :p

At the castle's compound, you can get really good photo of the entire New Town of Edinburgh:

Another one; for the night version:

Well, probably the pictures didn't speak of the beautiful scenery so much but when you are there, you can really feel it :)

Apart from visiting the castle, we stopped at a nearby 'magic shop' (sorry, but I didn't get the name). It was really cool though (just a bit further down from the castle, on the left) and I love this picture very much:

Cool isn't it?

(I was wearing my glasses though)

Before we went back for dinner (we cook our own dinner and...supposed to have photos...), we went to New Town to get groceries and also to visit:

The Christmas Market

Alright. I need my zzz now.

A bit of my update: I've just submitted an assignment last Monday 9hate that assignment for many reasons..) and yes, THAT'S NOT ALL. There's another one due on the upcoming Monday. New term had started and assignments are pouring in... INCLUDING DISSERTATION! wtf!
I can't think of a topic that I want to do yet... any suggestion? It's such a headache :(

Anyway, got back one my assignment sheet! It wasn't a brilliant mark but still, I'm satisfied :)

Off to bed. 9am class tomorrow.
Coming up: More of Edinburgh :)

Eyes on Manchester (I)

noreply@blogger.com (Devonn) — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 01:32:00 +0000

Sorry guys! Without realizing, it's been a month since I have been missing in action. I was REALLY BUSY with being a nerd and all. Thanks to my procrastination, I was rushing so badly to finish 3 assignments and I am keeping my fingers cross that I am going to do just fine :)

So here is an outdated post about my trip around Manchester. Err, I don't think it should be called a 'trip' since I am from Manchester after all.....well whatever...

Dionn and Angela were here visiting us back then. So Jon and I were acting as tour guide, bringing them around and visiting few places. Yeah...only FEW places as time was limited and they were here for a short trip only...

Obviously, lots of cooking involved. Oh by the way, I learned how to cook ginger chicken (something very Chinese-ish), I might show it next time (I am fking proud of myself, can? :) )

Guess where we were heading?

Old Trafford :)

As you can see from the photo, it was pretty late when we arrived so we didn't head for the museum tour but we weren't intended to go at that time anyway... we are going tomorrow (or later today) actually :)

So we were just walking around and checking few section in the stadium.....

Right after that, we headed to the nearest shopping complex:

Paiseh but you obviously can't judge the location by its interior :) It's Trafford Centre actually! My bad but it was dark so there's no photo from the outside....

My hair was ugly >< (Now even uglier -_-)

We ended up shopping till the mall closed... with few bags.....

Bought a GAP winter coat which you'll see me wearing

in all the time in the winter, so no need for me to show the pick-up...

By the time we got home, we were so hungry and we craved on something that we missed badly from home:

Roti Canai + Curry Chicken + A1 Soup

(yum yum yum)

Apart from that, we visited All Saints Park (sounds so great but nah.....it's only a park outside my hall)

*Autumn*

Took a few shots:

I love this one :)

Well, it's winter now and it's snowing! Freaking cold and the park is all white right now. More pics next time. I am off to bed.

Oh, my mom and brother are here! We are heading to Old Trafford tomorrow, then the day after to Paris, and then on the 27th to London and I wont be back to Manchester until Jan 3rd. We've just got back from Edinburgh yesterday. I officially hate snow right now, too cold to bear with :(

Goodnight

Jacob's Body is Hot!

noreply@blogger.com (Devonn) — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 12:36:00 +0000

So I have watched New Moon on the day it was screened. It is obvious New Moon is going to be a BIG thing because every corner in the cinema is very New Moon-ish....

ALSO.....

Me With the huge banner, right by Edward's side =)

The show is kind of disappointing. The show is pretty static, there isn't much action, Bella looks freaky when she's having nightmare....
JACOB'S BODY IS SUPER HOT! HOTTER THAN EDWARD'S! SERIOUSLY!

New Moon is the first show I watched in UK and I had a good time in the cinema. I like how the staffs talk to the audience before the show starteds, introducing New Moon (everyone was shouting) and then asking us who's Team Edward and then Team Jacob. The answer is obvious: Team Edward (I'm in)! Edward's fans can be really REALLY fanatic:

It's only a cardboard!

Thank god there wasn't a long-winded part on the whole Jacob-Bella part. I don't know if it's only me but among all the books, New Moon is my least favourite >.<'

I can't wait for Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.

Updates on me: I am trying to stay home as much as possible to complete my assignments. I have one due on the 7th December and another TWO on 14th December. It's War Mode people! The blog will be mia a while after this...

Oh before I go, I think people hate Jane very much. If not, please explain this:

I seriously think the girl portraying Jane is very pretty. She reminds me a bit of Natalie Portman + Dakota Fanning. I might have seen her in other movies... I wonder who's so mean.....

ADD ON: Alright! She's DAKOTA FANNING. I may be Twilight fans but I do not follow up on the movie okay!

New Moon is Coming!
