明天老公要去上班了
这一去又是两个星期
雪又要一个人度过这漫长岁月
现在已经是冬天了
今天的温度是3.5度
非常的冷
我的大雄不在我的身边的两个星期，我看我会冷死
星期五，我们去了Glasgow
很喜欢这个城市
大都市，很多购物商场，很多不同国籍与种族
这里的人很友善，在pub里面喝酒会莫名其妙被邀请加入别人的party
满好玩的
这里的clubbing恨棒，很多人这样说，虽然这次没有机会去clubbing，但是看到很多club外面打排长龙，应该很不错！
这次去Glasgow是为了看老公的偶像The Skids
70年代的他们很红，很多粉丝从英国各地来观赏表演
老公在网上认识了其他粉丝所以约在星期六中午聊天喝茶
一大班40岁以上的男女（除了我外）为了他们的偶像集聚一块，讨论他们的偶像，为什么喜欢他们等等，分享与炫耀他们的收藏，很多人还穿着有他们照片，团名的衣服，老公也穿了
演唱会的名称是Homecoming Live 2009
整个项目有大概9各不同表演者
The Clyde Auditorium
22:30 DEACON BLUE
21:55 LLOYD COLE
21:20 THE SKIDS
20:45 JAMES GRANT
20:15 KEVIN MCDERMOTT
19:45 MIDGE URE
19:15 THE BLUEBELLS
18:55 TOMMY REILLY
18:20 HUE AND CRY
18:05 RED HOT CHILLI PIPERS
大多数都是自弹自唱，顶多两个人表演
但是到了The Skids出场的时候
现场马上热了起来
大家又吹口哨，又鼓掌，显然看到他们的偶像很兴奋
就像老公一样，为了这个表演，他期待了很久，还驾车来回7小时
看一下他们的表演把！

这里的大型演唱会不像亚洲的那么讲究舞台设计和效果还有服装
觉得他们在乎的是才艺
昨晚的演唱会，最便宜的票都要30英镑
表演嘉宾穿着t-shirt,jeans也有些穿西装的,抱着guitar就开始表演起来了
我们昨晚没看完全部的表演
因为最终目的是The Skids
但是我有观赏前几场的表演，真得很不错
昨天老公很兴奋，因为表演后The Skids特地去跟老公和他的朋友坐下来喝酒，聊天，这是老公第二次跟他们近距离接触，我也跟粉丝与团员和家眷聊天喝酒，昨天很多人请喝酒，非常 high.他们非常亲民，没有架子，其中一个年长的团员看我有点微醉，就叫男生们不可以再灌我，还叫老公要好好照顾我，或许在那里我年纪最小也是唯一的亚 洲人吧！

在一起那么多年，昨天才知道原来老公会打桌球
人生中有很多第一次
跟老公也有很多
昨天，我们第一次一起去Amusment Arcade.叫做珊瑚岛但是这里没有郑惠玉也没有李南星
我们一起进鬼屋，一起玩游戏，但是老公不玩电玩，只玩吃角子游戏
有点小感动，因为老公不是那种会玩小孩子游戏的人，很意外他肯跟我进鬼屋。
虽然昨天晚上为了一些事情吵得很厉害，睡觉也不讲话
但是今天早上起来就没事了
如果昨天吵架的时候发小姐脾气，说了不该说的负气话
今天应该狠糟糕吧？
老公从来不会道歉，但是早上带我去吃Mcdonald，我吃Hot Cakes with Sausage,他吃Big Breakfast. 午餐我们去一间至少有30年历史的连锁餐厅吃，老公还为我点了Pancakes with maple syrup and ice cream.
或许他还有大家认为我很好哄，带我去吃东西我就会原谅他。
其实两夫妻吵架，吵了就算了，不要放在心里也不要给对方脸色看。所谓床头吵架床尾和。早上起来要见面，晚上睡在同一张床，因为吵架而给对方脸色看，闹久了，误会更深，怨气更多，反正他都用他的方式道歉了，何不大大方方的接受，两个人又开开心心的在一起？

Asia and UK banking practices
I just tried opening a personal savings banking account with Abbey and the application was rejected because I have no record of credit references.
Now,what are they talking about??I have just moved here for 3 months, what credit reference do they want? I am not asking for a loan or applying for a credit card, I just need a savings account where my salary can be deposited when I get a job!
In Singapore and Malaysia, you go to the bank, they serve you and the account is opened immediately as long that you bring the required documents.
However, here in UK, you have to make an appointment to have the bank advisor to help you with the account opening and once the paperwork is done, they will write to you to inform you whether the application is approved.
In Asia, if you were to inform the bank that you have a million dollars to invest/deposit into an account with them, they would wine and dine you, even go all the way to send someone to attend to you personally at your convenience.
However, in UK and probably the rest of Europe, they will probably want information on how and where and when you got this sum of money. No doubt that this is a precaution against money laundering but it definitely makes life very difficult.
Now, I have been advised to go to Lloyds or HSBC where they have a special account for new immigrants to UK but the admin.charges is about 5,6pounds per month!

I'm thinking that, now that I've hit my 30s (ok, I've been in my 30s for a decent while), it's natural for me to go through a third-life crisis at least once a week. Where should I be? What should I be doing? What more is there to life? What's it all about, anyway?
I have to say that I have never been especially ambitious in life. I've never needed to be the top of the heap, never yearned for fame. Money, well... who doesn't want that? This lack of ambition, however, is a double-edged sword, as I've never had anything pushing me in a certain direction.
What do I know? Well, I've never been afraid to explore and move around, although, the older I get, the more I think I really ought to settle down and I did, Twice. I can't help but think, though, that all this moving around has done me good. It's made me very open-minded about new situations. The only problem is that I yearn for something different all the time.
I also know that I've always liked solving problems, organizing events, writing articles, and meeting people. Cooking, traveling are my passion and the favourite is being with my hubby, doing things together that we both like. Being together, just the two of us, quality time.
Anyway, so what am I saying? Well, I think it'd be cool if we could just meet people and trade jobs for a day. Like, constant secondment, a little of this and that here and there. I suppose that would mean that long-term projects would need to be put on hold, and I'd never want to leave anyone hanging. I just like change now and then.
Some countries give you the opportunity to take a career break to try something else. Sometimes, these breaks last a couple of years. I'd take that. My only problem is that I'd want a break every few years. I'm sure there would be a limit.
At this point in my life, I think I'd like to try:
* being a mother again! I have been praying hard for it and every month,when I need to reach for a sanitary pad, the pang in my heart hurts.
* having a satisfactory job, I mean job and not career, something that will bring in at least some money for me!
* bringing a project from sheep to sweater
* running a B&B
* writing my own biography - friends been encouraging me to do that for years but 1) I don't know where to start 2) I'm lazy but seriously, where and how to start?Can someone give me advice?
* a travel writer, but for seaside retreats, weekend getaway for family or romantic getaway for couples
* an event planner with a team of people
I suppose life takes its own turns, and I should just wait and see what happens. The more proactive thing would be for me to find a goal and work towards it, but that, grasshopper, is the problem. My only goals in life are peace, mental stimulation, and a good laugh daily. Believe it or not, it's the last requirement I have the hardest time with. It's really easy to slip into melancholy.
The rub - wanting what I have right now. In Soak Up the Sun, Sheryl Crow said,
It's not getting what you want
It's wanting what you've got.
Which reminds me of something else - I wish I knew how to look as good on a surfboard as she does!
So, struggle on I will, but not without wistful gazes into the past and into the future.

非常想念日本餐
嫩滑的生鱼片
这里的不好吃也很贵
在这里，没有朋友，去clubbing都是跟老公去,两个人真的很闷，喝着饮料，看人家在玩。
想念跟大家去玩
开开心心在一起的日子
St James，Sportsman的欢乐时光
$8誉满邡的美味套餐，一大班一起吃晚餐的感觉真好
20多个人在Bintan为我庆生，两个小瓜也玩得很开心，大家都晒到烧焦还差点回不来
然后又一班人去Bintan,喝了太多酒让你们看到了另一个雪
十多个人一起去Bangkok,在地铁里，还有Paragon的疯狂让人家以为我们在拍片！吃了很多很多东西，拍很多照片，笑到肚子痛。真的非常的好玩，很快乐
8个人去Hatyai，拍了很多照片，去了很多地方，吃了很多东西，当了一天的皇帝，还有人很可怜，一个吐到乱七八糟，另一个还被脱裤子。
一整巴士的人去Sibu，潜水，吃东西，在海边给浪打
去Kukup吃海鲜，玩游戏，聊天
去Batam吃东西，购物
在家亲自下厨为你们准备火锅，鸡贩，炒虾面，面粉糕，家庭便饭等，记得最多人的一次是妮子的21岁生日，将近50人,我的屋子爆满！
很多很多的美满回忆
在这里，让没有娘家的雪更无助
人家夫妻吵架，受到委屈，没回娘家还可以去朋友家窝几天
雪只能默默地哭但是还要人家面前假装没事
强颜欢笑，晚上还是同睡一张床
老公不是浪漫的人，做错事也不会道歉
常常以为雪只是多愁善感，哭了就没事
很多时候虽然雪躺在老公怀里，等老公睡沉了
眼泪就会默默地掉下来，老公也没发现我在哭
有时候当他知道我哭，心情不好，他认为是因为大姨妈！
别说谈心，连个聊天的对象都没有，工作也找不到
雪感觉很孤独，无助
