What am I?

I picked up a brochure about organ donation in the UK.

PSI: Do it! Register yourself as an organ donor - it saves lives and seriously your body is just going either rot in a grave or be burnt to ashes anyway. Might as well be of some use after death.

Which best describes me though?


















Surely I'm White/Chinese Asian, cause I'm not a White/Chinese Chinese...

Can I tick 2 boxes?

Or Not Stated - I am Scotinese/Chitish.

LoL.

People Power

Today the UK government is going to vote on higher higher education fees.

Thousands of students are going out to the streets in front of Westminster to protest against the increase and the changes which wont help the lower income groups.

I long for the day where Malaysian students have such freedom, power and gumption.

To speak out and not be robots chanting "Aspirasi! Aspirasi! Aspirasi!"

When did the word 'Protest' become such a bad word in Malaysia?

The day our government said it was.

Big Brother is watching you.

Flawed Logic

In true Shelby fashion, I didn't bother getting a jacket for my trip because I have all my winter stuff here, and figured I'll be in the aeroplane and the airport the whole time anyway so it'd be fine. Someone would bring me a jacket when they picked me up.

The one thing I failed to take into account was the EasyJet flight I was taking from Stansted to Glasgow, like AirAsia flights, and I had to go out onto the runway and walk to the plane!
















So there I was in my short sleeved tshirt and thin cardigan, dashing from the airport gate out into the -2 degree weather, laughing to myself thinking how silly I must look. All the locals probably muttering, "Bloody stupid foreigners..."

When we landed in Glasgow, it was SNOWING (just for me) and I had the pleasure of speed walking through it, shivering in delight.

Moral of the story - When on a budget flight, one must always be prepared. .

How did that happen?

Amazingly, somehow I am back in the UK.

My initial 3month trip back in 2009 became 10months, at the end of those 10months I felt tak puas and decided to try coming back.

So here I am again.

Crazy - yes.
Uncertainty - definitely.
Stability - Non existent.

We'll see how it goes. I'm giving myself 6months and if in that time I fail to find something decent then that's me done.

I figure, if I don't do this sorta thing now while I'm still young and commitment free, then I'll never do it.
