An Escapade to the North Part 1

As promised, I am writing this regarding my recent visit to the North.

Guess which country? Hint: I mentioned it in my previous post.

Jeng! Jeng! Jeng! It's ICELAND! :D


So let's start with a bit of introduction to this country (and also I know all about this country lol).
1. Reykjavik the northernmost capital in the world.
2. It is one of the most LGBT-friendly in the world with its previous prime minister being the first openly lesbian to lead a government. *clap clap*
3. The population in Iceland is only about 300k people which I think is quite a nice size.

The trip started off from Luton aiport to Keflavik airport (one of the two airports in Iceland). It was the most scariest flight I have ever had to date. Due to the high wind turbulence intensity on that day, the airplane had a few drops with a moment there were a few successive drops. My heart almost leapt out, like seriously! Then this mid-thirty lady just one seat to the right below me started to get hysteric. She was like, "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! I am going to die! I am going to die!" and then she kept asking an air-steward whether the pilot had encountered this before. "Has he done this before? Has he done this before?" I looked right to my friend and we were both laughing (quietly of course!). lol. Calm down ma'am! When you have decided to board the plane, that means you have given your complete trust to the pilot. That's what I think. There is nothing that can be done at that point of time. Oh and when we were laughing, my friend pointed to his headrest. The lady was clenching on the headrest of my friend's seat and got hold of his hair. LOL. Luckily the cabin crew managed to calm her down before creating havoc in the plane.

We then landed and got the Icelandic Krona at the bank in the airport. A small tip for anyone who is going there: it's better to get your money changed there as the rate is better. :) First stop was Blue Lagoon. It's an open air hot spring whereby the colour of the water is milky blue, like Dynamo colour. On the journey from airport to Blue Lagoon, the views were quite nice at some point where you can see mountains almost completely covered with snow. The less attractive views would be the barren land. Seriously, there are just rocks, black soil and snow. Nothing else lol.

At first, we didn't really intend to get into the hot spring but then when we were there some of us (me included) were like "Aiya. We came here already so must go in." Then I experienced something new (I think this is the only thing I tell my cyber hubby on viber)! You need to shower before you dip in. So me and friends went to the locker room area to put our stuffs. The first thing that greeted me was this fair ass that was literally in front of me. OMG! Then I went to the shower area, there were naked men taking shower. There are doorless ones and of course for more conservative people there are those with doors but no lock ya. :p If my friends weren't with me, I would have ended up somewhere else instead of the hot spring. Damn it!

Okay V. Don't stray away. It felt nice dipping into the water and for once my muscles (more like fats) relaxed as I have been pushing myself too much during term time. It is quite a big area and the water is my chest-height (I'm around 6 feet by the way). I spotted quite a number of hotties, some with well-built body and some with pretty face. Had the urge of just grab one and you know..... Haha. Also spotted two gay couples (judging from my gaydar). One guy was rubbing the other's back. Awwww. Sweet la you guys. Made me jealous. If only I have one then. If only. :( I wish I could stay a bit longer in there. If cannot touch, still can see ma. Better than nothing. Haha. The views were really nice during sunset and of course you can see couples cuddling and kissing. Ughhhh! Made me sad. *cry*


To be continued soon.

2013 New Year Resolutions

It is Wednesday afternoon and I just got up from my 1.5-hour nap. *stretches body* *opens up curtain*

I see my two other friends in the back lane of the house like right now. Seriously?! *minimises windows*
Will be right back.


Back to my blog post. :)
Yeah, I have gone back to school and been pretty busy lately. Just finished my exam yesterday. Phew! It is one of those important papers that I will have to get at least a 2.1 grade in order for me to get an exemption of a professional paper. Ugh! I revised the same set of lecture notes and online notes for 5 times in total over the Christmas break and kept myself studying in the silent zone of the library for a few consecutive days (something which I have never done before!) and AND resisted the use of Grindr and Jack'd (this is the main point)! Please pass me, okay! Thanks to Rich (not his real name, of course) for helping me throughout.

Remark: A list of names will be published soon *hopefully in the next post* as to who the people that I refer to are.


So, here is a list of my new year resolutions:
1. Get a First Class
2. Get into a relationship
3. Care about family
4. Leave my footprints in London
5. Keep my body weight below 65kg and tone it
6. Learn about the British culture
7. Know more friends
8. Be more courageous
9. Collect more passport stamps
10. Spend Christmas break out of my room


First one is the most important of all. Staying on track for another First Class is a no easy job but I will try my best to repeat the feat again this year. A 70 plus is good enough but it will be better if I can break into the 80 mark barrier. A £1000 is waiting for me if I can repeat another miracle.

A boyfriend, hopefully for this year! I have that one person in mind right now. Not sure if he feels what I am feeling towards him. Hope he does. I have been telling myself not to mess up again this time as he is superbly down-to-earth and I might end up staying together with him this September onward. I don't want any awkward moments with him.

2012 was kind of a bad year to dad. First he fell down at home and no one was in that time. I only got to know it through my cousin after a week or so. Parents have been telling me to keep them updated of my stuffs over here but they broke the rules. Sien dao. Then when I got back home this summer, he kepoh went to help his workers and ended up having his hand inside a machine. I always tell him to stay inside his office but .....  *sigh* stubborn dad!

I bet this is the more hilarious thing! I have not been on a proper trip to London yet even though I am now here for my second year. Really have to get my ass off to London!

*weigh myself* 66! Oh my goodness! I swear it was 65kg a few days back. :-( Need to cut down on chocolate and ice-cream (Ben and Jerry is half price now wor!) Was at 68kg in mid-August and managed to reduced it to 62kg before I flew back and now 66! *sob*

Number 6 is because of *cough* someone. Not going to elaborate on that. Teehee. =D

More friends! Oh yes please! I have never thought of being able to get to know so many (at least not one) friends through those dating apps and one of them is HIM!

Be more vocal and defend myself for what I think I am right. Guess I was quite brave enough to come out to two people last year. More to come?

9 and 10 are almost similar. Might be going to Italy during the Easter break and have in mind Portugal straight after summer exam. Time for some eye candies. lol. I have been spending two consecutive Christmas break staying in my room revising for exam. Not again this year!!!

That is all for now. See you. x
