Hello?? Is there no one from the UK here?!?- Part 2

[princessKitty]

A-hoy all UK-ers! :wave:

We have made part two of this thread as the previous thread has almost reached the 500 post mark. Here are just some of the post that was in the first part of 'Hello?? Is there no one from the UK here?!? ' thread.

dana: our school is really good with open days and things. they tell us when each open day is and what is happening there. to be honest i don't really like queen mary (QMU) and hahaha i used to live near that area and let's just say it's a bit.... dodgy ;p

wowowowow imperial!! go girl!!! imperial is such an amazing uni!! my friends goin there this year to do something down the mechanics route ^^ king's isn't bad but going to uni in london cost SO much money :( i could live for 3 months at warwick with the money i spend on accomadation alone if i went to a london uni :S

princess kitty hey thanks so much!!! are you in uni yet??

shez: Nope, not in university. Don't think I'll ever go, I don't like studying and the thought of studying an honours degree for three years, living on small pennies is daunting.

By the way, did anyone go to the marathon? I watched a bit on television and heard about Jade Goody. She didn't recieve any training, well, ony for a bit, and she just went for the 26 miles. She had to have medical attention about halfway through. Still, she made half-way, I probably couldn't even make a quarter way let alone half.

We have got the marathon to~ Not sure when it is.
Good luck everyone who is taking their exams right now. Its stressful but in the end its worth it....

princesss kitty yea i know what you mean, uni is good for some and just hell for others....

i used to live around to 19/20 mile mark but moved house and now live NOWHERE near any marathon places.... grrr

Jade Goody annoys me, but she's been the most outstanding contestant... in the sense I still remember her. =PP

Shez: It's good that your school does tell you which open days are around etc, but also take your own initiative! I only started looking around during the summer of AS and it was either, the open days had already passed, or they were occurring right then, but were fully booked. But with the school, I went to Bristol and Nottingham, which were two amazingly different but awesomely pretty unis. Call me superficial or what, but I can be. =) Oh and indeed, QMU area is dodgy alright. I'm not convinced when friends tell me it's a good uni, but for me, the area has to be taken into account also, area + uni = decision. Which other unis are you interested in?

Before I turn this into a uni thread. XD

Marathon. I remember prepping myself up for the Race for Life in Hyde Park for women only, and not going through with it because I didn't want to do it all lonesome. So if any of you guys would love to run 5 miles for pure satisfaction, in mid September I think, then hollah at me. I need to do this in my life. I just have to.

Hi, sorry for butting in here, but I just wanted to join in this thread because I've never known anyone in the UK that listens to any overseas music, let alone Jay!

Dana: 5 miles is very long! I don't think I can last for that long. you'll probably end up having to carry me all the way to the finish line.

Wai Ling:
Yes, I listen to music from Hong Kong, Japan and Taiwan since I was about 13.
I remember my first album was Joey Yung- Like Joey. That was the first chinese modern album I listened to. I liked it very much and started to listen to other chinese artists like Kelly Chen, Miriam Yuerng and Eason Chen. Now, I listen to a wide range, depending on my mood. My favourite genre is rock.

In my local libary, they have chinese albums and before, I use to take them out and listen to them. The libary was quite good actually, they had quite new ones.

5 miles isn't thaaaaaaat long is it?
I'll have to try it and see. ><

Wai Ling: By that do you mean you're in the UK and you don't know anyone else who listens to foreign music, or do you mean you do not know anyone in the UK and certainly did not expect people here to listen to foreign music?

The nation is either swept up by revision, exams or Big Brother and Strictly Dance Fever (<- I like. ^^).

SARAH, WANNA START PART 2?!

Dana: 5 miles is very long, Southend pier is 1.33 miles and that to me is very long, if that is long then 5 miles must be very very long. :tongue:
I've been watching a bit of soccer aid and it's quite funny seing celebrities taking on the role as a footballer. All for good cause though. :happy:


Why does it always have to rain on bank holiday? :dry:

[shez]

hey!!! i went to the other thread and it was closed :( hehe then found this one!!

Wai Ling welcome to the thread!! so no1 from the uk?? hehe well here we are!! we're not aliens or anything so feel free to discuss anything with us!!!

dana yea warwick has a GREAT campus when i went to visit it but it was weird that none of my friends liked it.... hmmmm *ponders* i haven't visted UCL or kings yet and have NO idea when the open days are....

everyone: hmmm i was browsing around and lotsa people are having meet-ups and i was wondering if we should have one too..... because it's nearly the summer holidays and it would be great to meet you all face to face :D lemmie know what you think or if u have any ideas....

[ftlouiea]

Sarah: I just realised... why did they call it Soccer. It's kiiiinda alright for people to call it Soccer when Americans and Aussies are around, but this was organised in UK. GRR. But that match was more entertaining than the FA Cup final, no pressure and everybody genuinely were in to the game. ^^ So many past players <3 but boo Maradona.

Shez: UCL and King's are pretty. King's more so. ^^ But a meet up? I don't think I'll be able to make it on this side of the holiday because of exams till the 26th, then a few days preparing everything for my holiday. After results day sound more like it? :happy:

[princessKitty]

Dana: I'll tell you who is my favourite player > Ally McCoist. He is soooooooo good! After many years of retirement and a beer belly, he is still able to run on that pitch and score goals! wow. Is either he is a very good footballer or the goalkeeper is very rubbish. *coughspatrickkieltycoughs*. :whistle:

[shez]

dana hehe only a little suggestion ^^. seems everyone's so busy this summer..... :|

i don't actually know where king's is :| there's a campus somewhere so i really need to go and find it or else won't have time *sniff sniff* hehe good luck in ur exams!!! i'm smack bang in he middle of mine at the moment!!!!

[ftlouiea]

Hungry for Hungary. MWAHA. Yes. I'm talking about football. Boy am I now proud of our boys. I don't know about you, but I never took a liking to Rooney. So GO THE THREE LIONS!

Sarah: Aww Kielty is so ke ai. At least he didn't let more goals in, was that McCoist's goal? I was too busy booing Maradona everytime he appeared. But Schmeical! <33

Shez: I only visited the Waterloo campus, but the other two campuses are the main ones I believe. Strand? :unsure: But GOOD LUCK for all exams! Exams suck. =X

[princessKitty]

Dana, you will have no problem with your exams because I know that you are a bright girl and that you can pass it in no time. :hugz:
Rooney *coughsshreckcoughs*, well all I can say is, I just hope his foot is ok so he can play for England during the games. The thing I don't get it, whenever there are substitutes, they always get the best players off!? Owen? Gerrard? Hello Sven?!

But the substitute with Crouch was good, he scored the third goal! :rolleyes:
ole, ole, ole, ole.

shez, I admire you, you have exams and still have the time to come on!! huggy. :hugz: (sorry, I just love hugs.) Are you doing A-Level exams or GCSEs? I heard that A-Level exams are like the hardest out of anything.

[Galzs_revolution]

hey guys.. newcomers? hehe.. i'm going to uk for uni this sept.. and i'm wondering is there anyone live in nottingham or bath?
my knowledge about uk is kind of limited though, but well just wanna say hello.. in a few months i'll become one of u guys, living in uk i mean.. hehe

[ftlouiea]

Sarah: It's giving our good players a rest when we know that the other team can't conjure up any more magic to win against us. :rolleyes:

Hi Galzs_revolution! :wave:
Get cosy with us if you're residing here for the next... 3 years of your life?
If you have any questions about how it's like... feel free to ask! Where are you coming from? :unsure:

1st June. Does that mean 5 months just passed REALLY quickly or is it just me? o_o

[princessKitty]

Galzs_revolution: hiya. :wave: If you are going university in that area, then there maybe some residential placement available for you locally, you'll just have to do your research! Or you can stay at the halls of residence at university whereby you pay rent each week, downside is, you'll be sharing with other people but in some people's opnions, univeristy life is a life-changing experience so, up to you. :happy:

Dana: 1st of June and I still see people with coats and scarfes. >.< Oh by the way, I went to Carnaby Street today...........where Jay was! I was like on Regent Street and saw Carnaby Street sign and said to my friend, hey, was where Jay was, so we walked and I stood on the spot of where he was. :rolleyes:
Ok, leaving fan mode. :tongue:


Annnyyyywayysss, world cup in 9 days. :bounce:

[Galzs_revolution]

hey guys!

ftlouiea yea i guess.. don't know if its good or bad.. guess i'll have to experience it myself.. haha.. i'm from indonesia.. not such a great country, but can't erase its existance. lol.

princessKitty i know they are probably not big cities like others, such as london and manchester.. hoho.. but oh well.. yeah i've been researching round.. i'm sure i can't wait to go.. lol..

[shez]

hey people!! guess who's back?!?! MEEEE!!!
dana oo waterloo campus hehehe i still haven't gone to the open day yet :(

princessKitty: hey!!! hehehe exams were SOOO hard!!! i was doing me ASs and have started the A2 course already >____<" it's SOO hard!!! i'm dropping chemistry but i think it's needed for a lot of biology based subjects so i'm a little screwed..... :(

wasn't it SOOOOO hot yesterday?!?!? the hottest 12th June in a century!!!!

[ftlouiea]

Galzs revolution: Be proud of your country. And bring your culture here to those that will be your friends in Uni. :rolleyes:

Shez: Are you making the Biology VS Chemistry choice? I'd choose the latter, biology is damn frickin' hard.

Oh joyous, the weather was so swelteringly (XD) hot. ._. Couldn't breathe, couldn't concentrate. I swear it's a curse for revision. But then today, mild and marvelous. :happy:

[shez]

dana: hehehe yes today was so lovely ^___^ i'd rather take exams in janurary as it gives me an excuse to stay at home and revise.... since it's sunny all i want to do is go out and soak in the sun!!! hahaahaha!!! and the hayfever is just ridiculous!!! OMG SERIOUSLY?!?!? i've already filled in my form to drop chemistry..... i hate the subject SOOO much!!! i think i've got at the most a C in it bcuz the exam was so hard..... (damn edexcel nuffield exam board..... >__<") i find biology SOOO much easier!!! it's my strongest subject at the mo!!!!

i really wana go up north and see what it's like ^____^ i need to go visit durham and manchester :P

[princessKitty]

The weather is nice and hot. :happy: Weather will get much warmer soon. The only thing I don't like about hot weather is at night, I can't sleep. >.<

shez: Exams were hard eh? Well just be glad that they are now over. What are you going to do to celebrate? I am no science expert so I don't know much about chemistry or biology or physics. :tongue:

I'd love to go up north and visit, I only been as far as Leicester. Places I would so love to go is Blackpool, Englands very own Paris. :rolleyes:

I don't suffer from hayfever so I don't know what it feels like. I tan very easily, my skin is like tanned dark, someone thought I was Thai! But anyhow, drink plenty of water and stay out of the sun if possible people!!

[shez]

there were freak thunderstorms here last night and i got scared <(.____.)>

princess kitty: i've been to blackpool!!! it's GREAT!!! hahahaha the amusement parks are AMAZING!!!! i've always wanted to go to scotland but hmmmm lol sounds a bit cold and stuff......

hayfever sucks.... it's like having a cold all year round.... yay.... but i don't burn easily or tan easily.... my skin's a really dodgy yellow colour already so i dnt really want it to mutate into another colour because of UV lights.... ><

[princessKitty]

shez: Tuesday was craaazy. :wacko: It was like so hot during the weekend and then just a couple of days later, the sky decides to open. It was so funny because my Uncle decided to have a bbq on that day, everyone was soaked! :laughing: But it was great fun though, the rain didn't stop us. Most places were flooded.

I love southend. ^^ The beach is lovely, the rides are fun and the shopping is great. when the tide was out, my dad my brother and I walked out, the sand was so soggy it felt like wet mud when walking on it.

[shez]

princessKitty hahaha southend!! WHOOOO! southend is great!! i'm such a little kid i have this obsession with fairground rides!!!

this time of year is PERFECT for going to the seaside!! relaxing and catching up on some SUN!!!

[christinetang]

hello my fellow UKers!

i dont suppose you guys actually remember me but i know that dana and jessca will remember for definite! :D

ive kinda disappeared for awhile because ive been very busy at university so its been hard to find time to get into these forums when you've got heaps of work to complete and preparation to be done each day....sigh but thats over now....phew! im on a early summer break now....wooohoo! i dont go back to university til october i think to start my 2nd year....eeeks! but thats if i pass my first year so fingers crossed guys! :-)

[princessKitty]

christinetang: :wave: What part of the UK are you from? I'm sure you will past the first year. You study for 3 years right? And when will you find out your results? Sorry, hope I am not asking you too many questions. :tongue:

The thing I like about southend is how easy it is to get there. I can just get the train and it will only take about 1 hour and half or something. Have anyone tried bbq on the beach before?

[ftlouiea]

Yamoo. o_o I just realised I'll be at Heathrow in one week, probably sitting on the plane already at this time. And procrastinating revision has resulted in successfully making a few playlists on my MP3 for the summer. I'm so proud X) List goes like this:

Diet music
For acoustics, and basically music that isn't too heavyweight and probably what I want to go to sleep to. I can't seem to go to bed without music on which is a tad unhealthy but...
Guilt-free Happiness
Happy music; everything that the next category isnt
Guilty Pleasures
Happy music, that is pop to the core. Cheesy you might say. =D EG Hearsay's Pure and Simple, my Year 9 obsession ^^ If you do happen to remember them, they are so nostalgic! <3
Hopeless Sentimentalist
Love songs that make your heart break listening to them, either because of the music or they were played in a heartbreaker scene.
Inspiring and Sweeping
Inspiring songs literally, that sweep me off my feet. The strings in F.I.R's Thousand Year Love? Gorgeous strings!)
Love songs without the weight
Happy light happy songs that don't make your heart wrench. Happy lovin' - I like to think of these songs for.
Pumpin' it
T_T
Sad sad sad songs ._.

Meheh backtrack. Hayfever is like a cold alright. Today my nose was running like... like yeah. =X Times like this make you wanna cut your friggin' nose off.

TANNING! I do tan... except now I want pale skin. T_T

XTINE! I DO REMEMBER! AND MISS YOU! ._. You've been absent for long, but at least you've completed the first year. What's the plan for now until October? :D

[Saharial]

*waves hi* am back after aloooong absence >_< am in Londonand I'm Kay. Am sure i intro'd myself before ages ago, but thought i'd say hi again :)

[shez]

heloo kay!!!!! ^____^ i'm shez ^^. this thread has been a bit dead these days....

[princessKitty]

Did anyone hear about the terror plot on UK airports? Loads of flights have been cancelled as a result of this. Main flights affected are those travelling from UK to US. Flights coming from Spainish airlines and Germanys flights going to the UK has been cancelled. Many are stranded in airports such as Heathrow and Gatwick.

At a time where children are on school holidays and people going on summer holidays, not a good time. Anyway, they said that it was a plan to 'commit mass murder' where 10 flights were targeted. Arrests has been made in London and Birmingham.

I guess many of these kind of events will happen on transport, whether it be bus, tube or plane where generally there is a lot of people.

[Cardcaptor Stacey]

I'm from the UK, w00t!! :D Nice to see some people from home

[shez]

welcomeCardcaptor Stacey!!! where in the UK are you from may i ask?

i'm shez, from london, lived here most of my life :)

[Cardcaptor Stacey]

I'm from Yorkshire :P Born and raised here

[princessKitty]

Cardcaptor Stacey: Alright Luv. :tongue:
So how did you hear about Jay Chou? I saw your picture on your space and saw that you were 'non-asian'. Do you listen to his music?

Oh I am Sarah by the way from London, I was also born and brought up here. I have bever been to Yorkshire but would love to go, the lovely countryside attracts me. Oh and it's very quiet too in Yorkshire right? I have many friends I know from Sheffield and Barnsley and Wakefield but have never visited them to their homes before! :dry: They only come down to see me.

[iron]

Wooo UK people. Not met a single person in my life who likes Jay Chou lol other than the person who introduced me to his music.

[Cardcaptor Stacey]

Cardcaptor Stacey: Alright Luv. :tongue:

Hi :) I heard of Jay Chou for quite some time...then after I came home from watching Jet Li's Fearless, I found Jay Chou's MV and fell in love!! Yes, I'm not asian. Yes, I do listen to his music.

Yorkshire is quite quiet, it depends on where you go. :rolleyes:

[ftlouiea]

And what do you think about the recent complaints about the bowled-over-by-fame Jay? :laughing:

Yeah, touchy topic...

I'm sitting here being a bum. So HI! I'm Dana, in London.

[Saharial]

dana *waves* i thought you were further north!!
yay..

i'm in London too :)

[Sugar.Geisha]

That was random. :tongue:

I've introduced some people to Jay Chou... only one has liked him! What is wrong with the world... :-x

[ftlouiea]

Oh well, try and try again! :rolleyes:

I just don't do it. If they like them, then they do. He's my idol. So who cares if no-one else likes them?! It's like preachers trying to impose their beliefs on people by going round every house. But it's with Jay instead~ :laughing:

Oh yeah, I'm from London, in London and studying in London. Just broke off for christmas break actually~

[snootycow]

wahey theres loads of people who like jay in the UK! quite suprised i must say =D and y'all from london!? whats up with that? ha. =P im from leeds, yorkshire born =D

[shez]

oOoooOoh leeds :P further up north then

anyone here about government raising school leaving age to 18?

[snootycow]

i heard about that.. im not sure about it. it might work. it'll give us something to do rather than just being on the streets bored out of our mind and trying to look for a job. it could motivate people to go into higher education too for degrees and all that. but then some kids dont like being forced into it soo.. whaddya do? o_O

[muji]

i live in London too :D (West London, of course :tongue:) however i used to live in the dump that is Bedfordshire. Anyone from there?

[KimchiNoodles]

in an effort ( however much in vain it may turn out to be..) to liven up this thread a little, is anyone going to see Curse of the Golden Flower in the cinema? coming out this friday, if anyone's wondering. not that it's been too hard to miss the adverts on tv, the internet and the papers........

i can't help but say this as a little sidenote: i gave up JCnet for Lent and it's now SO GOOD to be back on here!!!!! X] *ahem* i'm done.

[Saharial]

yeah - ma going to go see the fiklme next week. though i am super tempted to go today after work >_<

[ftlouiea]

LOL
i'm seeing it for gong li's apparently superb performance in the film. am highly happy that the film won't turn out to be a mindless showcase of guys like initial D turned out to be :laughing:

note, the weather is just lovely ^^

[jessca]

The weather's absolutely gorgeous up north in Newcastle too. And the sunsets recently! You get all shades in the sky <3 I love being in Britain sometimes.

Although... should probably keep schtum until the end of April lest we jinx ourselves and end up with the showers :X

And gosh it's been a while since I've seen anything at the cinema. I think the last time was the Korean film festival back in October? With you, dana haha.

[YeQu]

i live in London too :D (West London, of course :tongue:)

I live in Londond too!:happy: North West London xD Its kinda nice here but I'd like to move >_<

[ftlouiea]

Yes, gotta keep an eye out for the Korean Film festivals they hold :rolleyes:

Managed to catch Curse of the Golden Flower on Wednesday. Pure torture. I am so bitterly disappointed by it all~ :dry: Have you managed to see it yet, Saharial?

YeQu... you may even live near me haha XD

[YeQu]

YeQu... you may even live near me haha XD

Lol really? xD Thats kinda freaky yet so kool to know theres Jay fans near my area ^_^

[ftlouiea]

I'm bombarded with people who love him more than me in uni here, it's fun. :happy:

If anyone's interested, the LKFF (London Korean Film Festival) is gonna be held in June apparently. I've heard about it since it's 2005 stint, and went to last year's, which was oddly placed during september. It's a cool event btw, they showed Windstruck during 2005 (among others) and then had films like Marathon and Typhoon last year. The catch is, though it's free, you have to line up before the film starts outside the cinema. This, in actual fact means, FIRST COME FIRST SERVED. Like me and jecka found out when we turned up to see a near 300 person queue at Typhoon's showing. :sweat:

[Saharial]

OMferakinG

i was AT the typhoon showing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :excited: :excited:

i was at the front of the queue but went for food and almost wasnt able to geta ticket.

i posted my notes of the director Q&A on soompi :-)

i am SO keen to find out this years lineup!!

[YeQu]

ftlouiea what uni do you go to if you don't mind me asking?

[ftlouiea]

Saharial: Was Typhoon really that great then? :rolleyes: I knew there'd be people, but not as many as that! If only Jang Dong Gun had made a surprise appearance... would have been a nice gesture for the premiere. I wish.

YeQu: I'm at Imperial, first year. What's your current status? (<- for lack of any other way of saying it and am too mind dead to think.)

[YeQu]

Wow thats so kool :) I don't study anymore I just stay home haha I'm lazy >_<;;
What do you study in uni? BTW Whats your name? :-) Mine's is Maya

[Saharial]

Saharial: Was Typhoon really that great then? :rolleyes: I knew there'd be people, but not as many as that! If only Jang Dong Gun had made a surprise appearance... would have been a nice gesture for the premiere. I wish.


was an ok film :) worth seeing but not the best - i was there for the Q&A mostly
luckily i wasnt working last year when the fitrst festival was on and was able to get to the doors to be at front of the queue.

there's usually a music event too - so will be going to that again i expect :)

[hk-kc-jc]

Calling all 13 and/or 14 year olds in the UK... or England i don't know.. how did u's find the SATs tests?

for me the hardest was maths... easiest was probably science.. how about u's?

[shez]

Maya!!! what a nice name :P helloooooooooo tis been a long time since i was here last ><"""" there's not many UK-ers around i'm afraid :(

long time no speak dana :P imperial?! that means you're a year above me? i'm entering uni this october =] what are you studying? loooads of my friends are going imperial this year :) you might see them around hehe


hk-kc-jc: heeeeeeeeey :) i didn't do my SATS this year but are they still as important as they were when i did them? (ages agoooo) as in what comes out of the SATS?

[ftlouiea]

Maya, I study Medicine! So I just finished my first year... time flies~

Shez, really? What are you studying? :rolleyes: What are your friends studying? Imperial is the best uni of course :laughing: I have to move out of halls on Saturday morning! I'll miss my beloved room ._.

[shez]

dana: =O medicine!?!?! O____O damn you clever girl O_O i have a friend who is doing medicine at imperial too and should be in your year :P i have people in my year going there to do biology and some to do medicine too :P i'm hopefully studying: geology and biology if i can get the grades hehehe

was going to say.... what is wrong with the weather?! it was pretty overcast and i went to buy a sandwich and it started POURING down with rain like you wouldn't believe!!! i read on the metro that the midlands are getting severely flooded ><"

[YeQu]

Maya!!! what a nice name :P helloooooooooo tis been a long time since i was here last ><"""" there's not many UK-ers around i'm afraid :(

Thanks =] Hey :happy: Yeah I was thinking the same... Not amny Jay fans that are from the U.K kinda sucks :oops:

Maya, I study Medicine! So I just finished my first year... time flies~
Oh wow,Medicine? Thats so kool. I got a friend who's studing Biology and physics... She wants to become a doctor... I think people who study in that area are so brainy... I.E. Your so brainy =P

[hk-kc-jc]

hi shez.. um i don't think they are that important.. they're just the "decision-makers" of what set you're gona be in for year 10. . like top set, middle set..

BUT the results really matter to me because i want to get good ones.. :P

[shez]

maya: i do have a few friends who like jay but they're not very much into forums :S i don't know why.... it's like a huge family ^________^

hk-kc-jc: hehe i remember when they meant the world to me!!!! you'll realise that they get more and more important as you go on *sob* but i guess if they decide stuff like that then they are important!!! good luck for results!!

[hk-kc-jc]

thanks shez... i'm really nervous cos they're nearly coming back.. ARGH!!

HEY!.. i agree.. there aren't many jay fans in the UK.. BUT maybe if jay come to do a mini concert and then all us UK jay fans can drag friends and family to go then maybe he'll be more well-known.. o well just a suggestion for jay to become more popular round here.. :P

thanks shez... i'm getting nervous now because they're nearly coming back!!

HEY!! i agree that jay doesn't have much UK fans so maybe if he come to do a mini concert and then we UK fans can drag some friends and family members to go along and maybe he could get more UK fans..!! YEH .. just a suggestion so that Jay can become more popular round here.. *hair twisting and eyes rolling around the room* and just an excuse so we UKers can get close to him.. hehe

[YeQu]

maya: i do have a few friends who like jay but they're not very much into forums :S i don't know why.... it's like a huge family ^________^

Thats kool =] My friends aren't into him or forums lol I know what you mean,especially this forum,its like a Jay family lol :D

[hk-kc-jc]

Heard about the flooding? it's getting worse and worse everyday... :cry:

lucky that it's not flooding where i live... it's raining so hard that the River Thames and other rivers are rising and flooding areas around.. a bit worrying because i live just outside London.. :crazy:

[shez]

hk-kc-jc: omg i was in shanghai a few weeks ago and jay was also there too (so i heard) something about releasing his new film and stuff..... i guess that was the closest i've been to him *sob sob* unfortunately i was in hospital and couldn't get out of bed so i didn't even get a chance to go stalk him!!! :P

maya: i have no idea why but my friends find it weird that i have 'internet friends' or 'forum friends' :S i love meeting people from all around the world! ^______^ hmmmm.... we'll just have to agree to disagree i guess >_<

[YeQu]

I know what you mean shez,my friends think its weird too,they say they aren't really your friends cause you've never met them and etc.. But I think they are cause you chat to them and have same interests and so on... =]

[FreddyC]

Sup guys and gals, I'm from the UK, currently doing my final year at Durham uni, anyone else here from Durham?

I think the music thats will remind of of last summer that's just gone in Durham will be Jay's music, there would be times when I had the urge to just put on an hour of Jay's stuff and listen it through. Good times.

[vanessAHH!!]

hey hey
Im from Belfast. hopefully be moving to England/Scotland when i start uni in september =D
and i know..1 other person who has actually heard of Jay Chou. incidentally my best friend from Hong Kong haha.

[YeQu]

Hi to the two new comers :-) How are you guys? How did you find out about Jay?

[vanessAHH!!]

[YeQu]

You seriously make me laugh!

[ftlouiea]

Kay dear, are you still very busy? *pats*

Hi YeQu and FreddyC, have never met you guys.. just looking at your Joining Dates just make me feel old .-.

[FreddyC]

Hi ftlouiea, your age makes me feel old...:crazy:

[YeQu]

Hi ftlouiea,we have met before but was brief :wave:
Your not old,you just liked Jay a longer time than us! :-)
How are you?
FreddyC,don't be mean!! :bleh:

[x_.Masa]

@YeQu

Thank youu~ ^^

Ahh my friend first told me about him..
And then I was like blahh don't really like him that much ><
But then a few months ago I started listening to him and he was pretty goood. xD

First listened to Fearless ^_^
One of my favourites xD
What about you? :3

[YeQu]

Coincedence,my first Jay song was Fearless too.My brother's girlfriend sent me that song I was blown away by the music and then I started downloading and stuff.Go tmy first Jay CD for my birthday last year :3
I'm ATM trying to find the e-mail address of JVR to e-mail them in trying to get Jay to play a concert here.I REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEALLY wanna see him..If he don't come here I'll sure be able to see him in Malaysia when I go back home :-)
BUT I'm desperate right now to see him....My love for him have grown so much stronger throughout the year that I've known him.

[Saharial]

hehe - all this talk of age makes me :crazy: hehe as i am older than Jay! :oops:

i got into him about Yi Hui Mei time one of my friends told me to get some of his music so i got that album and the broken string EP

it wasn't until i heard fantasy that i got really into him BUT i did actually like his music well before that because my Favourite Leehom track was actually the one written by Jay :D and my favourite Jordan Chan's too

i collect the music jay writes for others - though i am stuck for getting some of the really really early CDs. :cry:

YeQu - i think Jay did do a concert here once but it was one of those small exclusive types that were not advertised. I so hope he comes here cos i won't get to Asia anytime soon

[ftlouiea]

^ @Kay and YeQu

Jay was meant to do this gig on June 13th, 2006... but it never went through, which I can understand, considering it would have been one performance only and the costs for that... i dont know.

Btw guys, just call me Dana!

I'm going to see the Spice Girls tomorrow (lololol) :rolleyes:

[YeQu]

Kay right? sorry I have a bad memory.
He did do a concert here?I guess it was waaaaaaaaaaay before I got into him..I'm trying to make him come here again,I really wanna see him.So far JVR haven't gotten in contact with me :depresse: I wanna see him here cause I doubt when I move to M'sia I'll be able to see him.Lets all hope and pray he comes here soon eh? :glug:

Dana: Yeah I heard about that concert...Too bad it didn't happen...Do you think if there were a lot of sponsers that he would come?What if I gathered the money myself?LOL!

[hk-kc-jc]

Can't believe his concert in the UK didn't go ahead!! But then again.. not many people here know him which is a shame cos there are quite a lot of asian/chinese people here!! I'm actually surprised by the fact that Jay has concerts in LA and places in America which is also an english-speaking country but not in England?!

hmm.. anyway.. hey I'm from London.. real name is Kayan.. (car-yan is how it's pronounced and if i tell you that it is translated from my chinese name, you would probably know what my chinese name is.. haha.. it's quite a common name, i think, in China and quite a lot of chinese celebrities have this name too like Linda Chung - do you know it now? haha)

[YeQu]

Your name is really nice...Never heard it in my life haha and no I don't know your Chinese name!Cause I'm not Chinese!!Do tell me though :bleh:

[hk-kc-jc]

o lol.. well if you were chinese.. i think my english name would be pretty obvious of what my chinese name was.. lol.. do u know how to read chinese, because if you do i will post up my chinese name lol..

do you really think kayan is a cool name? haha.. yh loads of people at school are like wow what a cool name, etc.. but then i think bummer.. teachers can't pronounce my name properly cos of the way it's spelt.. :dry: and a friend of mine even named her little sister after me!! (well.. her middle name was kayan).. but it's still cool that someone wants to copy my name.. hehe

[YeQu]

Sorry dear I can't even read Chinese :roll: I suck haha.I'm half Malay and half British haha...
Hahaha,yeah I know what you mean about teachers not being able to pronounce your name,I had that from Primary all the way till college :roll: I wanna give my child your name haha its really kool seriously :bleh:

[hk-kc-jc]

wow! are you serious? calling ur child my name!! u will probably forget it by the time u do hav one.. haha

[YeQu]

Haha yeah I'm serious!Hey I'd never forget such a unique name [well unique to me since Ive never heard it :roll:]

[hk-kc-jc]

lol.. your name is unique too.. i've never heard of it before either..

(lol.. now you're probably thinking... woah how does she know my name?! lol.. it's cos i remembered it frm this other thread where we were trying to get jay over to england.. u mentioned it there.. hehe)

half malay and half british? wow! i think i'm full chinese lol but i was born and have lived in england all my life! and thanks to going chinese school on saturdays, i've learnt how to read and write chinese! but thank god ive finished cos it was not gd missing out on days where you could have a break from going school.. lol

[YeQu]

hahaha I was actually...Thought you became phycic [is that how you spell it?]

Yup,haha you think?Awe I wanna learn how to read and write Chinese!Haha but not on a Saturday...Saturdays are well were for me laying in days!!..But now that I've moved and working theres no such thing as a laying in day for me T_T

BTW I'm still not giving up on getting Jay there!Though I'm not there anymore but I'd fly just to see him!!Gosh <33333

[hk-kc-jc]

ohh.. so you've moved back to malaysia?

and lol.. saturday is not a good day to go school on.. i've had like 11 years of experience.. painful! haha

[YeQu]

Yup I've moved back for Jay :roll: aiyo...
Haha I can onliy imagine as Iwill never go to school on a Saturday :glug: you no longer go though right?

[hk-kc-jc]

haha.. has jay got an upcoming concert in malaysia or something?

and yh i dnt go anymore.. i like my free saturdays now.. they're all taken up by shopping haha

[YeQu]

haha no I missed it T_T But I'm sure he'll fly by here again soon :D haha shopping!A girls favourite sport :roll:

[British Jay Fan]

I'm from the UK! England to be more specific. Are there many others from Europe here or is Jay not well known here?

[hk-kc-jc]

YeQu .. yh lol.. shopping is definitely the best sport im good at.. hehe

British Jay Fan.. hi and welcome to this thread! hehe.. im from england too!! to answer your question, there is a lot more people who live in asia than people who live in europe here.. but still.. there are nearly 300000 members here so i would think there'd be about 40% from europe and america and the other 60% to asia? haha..i don't know.. just guessing..

and yes unfortunately, jay is not as well known over here but hey.. me and u know him! yh.. how did u know him since he hasn't had any concerts or been promoted over here in europe?

[British Jay Fan]

Read my thread in the newbies forum to find out how I discovered Jay...

[YeQu]

Kayan: Haha you and me both!!Gosh I love shopping till I drop! :roll:

British Jan Fan: Welcome to the thread!I live in London for 19 years of my life :roll: I just recently moved country to be closer to Jay :roll:
Erm,hope you enjoy your stay with us here and make loadsa new friends from all over the world!

Hey Kayan how did you find out about Jay?

[hk-kc-jc]

umm.. long story..

i went to hong kong in summer 2002 and that was when Miss Hong Kong Beauty Pageant was on and i remember him being a guest on there and he was playing the piano and singing 'Return to the Past' and i just fell in love with him since then.. but then i forgot about him when i came back to england lol.. then.. when i went back to hong kong in 2006 i remebered about him cos he was on a massive billboard advertising a phone or something and that's when i remembered him again then i went crazy when i got back to england cos i started to download every single album of his and chase up on all his details and news.. and joined this forum.. as you can see i joined in october 2006.. and researching too much on this guy explains why i have such bad eyesight now!!

[YeQu]

Hahaha!Aiyo Kayan your so funni...Jay gave you bad eyesight? :roll: so you've basically known him since the first album right? =)

[hk-kc-jc]

lol.. well since his third, Eight Dimensions, but yh.. during that period of being crazy over him, i learnt every single name of his songs.. it was MENTAL!! LOL

[YeQu]

Owh I see...I've liked him since the "fearless" song haha...And I only got into him cause my brother's girlfriend in S'pore sent me that song! :roll:

[hk-kc-jc]

lol.. yh i love that song too.. that was the first official cd i bought of his fresh from hong kong.. it was the Fearless EP with the november's chopin mvs on it.. i like the way his voice goes up high.. makes me get goosebumps.. lol

[YeQu]

Lol!My first Jay CD was er...Ye Hui Mei hehe fresh from S'pore :roll: I got that as my birthday present 2 years ago :roll:

[hk-kc-jc]

LOL.. then after that i forced my dad to buy On The Run from yesasia since he had an account and then he got Capricorn when he went to HK this year.. but im planning to get all his CDs.. from jay to whichever ones i aint got cos some of the songs that i have downloaded are scratched and i just feel that i'd be a gd fan if i actually bought the CDs.. lol

[YeQu]

Haha I have all except Jay and 8 Demension :D I got everything else...and I didn't buy them except 2 :roll: The rest I got as presents same with the rest of the merchandise I have of his :roll:

[hk-kc-jc]

OMG!! i didnt realise i had so little merchandise of his! and ive just reliased that ive got all his DVDs apart from Kung Fu Dunk which i will get very soon..

[YeQu]

Haha when I was in London I could not find Jay anywhere so I had to buy off the internet..I mainly bought from yesasia but my stickers I got it from a girl on here :D

[hk-kc-jc]

ahh cool.. yh.. i think it's stupid that there is no jay merchandise sold over here in london!! u have to get it over the internet which is expensive cos of all the packaging fees and stuff or you have to get it fresh from somewhere and i'm not ALWAYS on holiday!! gosh..

[YeQu]

VERY late reply haha sorry!
I knowwhat you mean..When I was over there I could not always buy merchandise I had to wait until I got money or my mom had some spare to buy me a gift...Jay gift xD huhuhu...I'm glad I dun need to do that now though when albums or DVDs come out I still purchase off yesasia cause they got goodies man!

[hk-kc-jc]

LOL.. yh whenever you pre-order something off of yesasia, theres always a free gift that comes with it.. lol.. which is gd but then i like getting it from a shop.. lol.. how awkward

[YeQu]

Why?Do you still get the extra free goodies?Hahaha!!Am just greedy I think LOL!

[hk-kc-jc]

lol... nah so i can choose the best quality one thats y .. haha... cos sometimes wen u order stuff online they come thru all bahsed up which i dnt like haha.. jst to be odd.. =)

i dnt always get free gifts with it in shops but sometimes i got a free poster cos i spent x amount of money.. etcccc.... =P

[YeQu]
