My Weekend

Dover Trip on 11th Oct 2008
Another weekend again … I almost have the same routine everyday … wake up at 7.30am à eat breakfast à preparing for class à during class à back home à dinner à sometimes do homework à sleep … this is wat I do everyday … finally weekend comes … actually v hav no planning at all … our seniors bring us around … No internet access at home really cause a lot of inconvenience …I have to spend my 1 hour break wisely everytime … precious 1 hour break … v can stay in the computer room … It’s a 40 mins trip from Canterbury to Dover which is a port nearby Europe … actually v thought of going to paris but the time for the ferry is fixed … V visited the DOVER MUSEUM and DOVER CASTLE … the insight of the castle doesn’t seems like fascinating compare to its outside view … it’s only stone wall n steep staircase inside the castle … whereas the outdoor view is one of my favourite scenery since I came to UK … v finally saw the sea !! hehe … and v spent almost 35 mins walking to the WHITE CLIFF where v initially have no idea how to go there … this is a wonderful place … perhaps I was too exhausted walking n walking non stop for almost 3 hours , I kinda lack of interest … but still I was impressed by the scenery … hehe … and finally v have taste the KFC in UK … erm …… I preferred KFC in Malaysia … much tastier … there’s no smashed potatoes here … they have baked beans or the gravy of the smashed potatoes … now the input(KFC) = output (walking for more than 3 hours)… haiz …. On diet next time la… this is wat I think … haha …. V reached home around 9 something …. VERY EXHAUSTED !!!

My 20th Birthday

This is the first time tat I celebrate my birthday in oversea … it was a long long day especially it’s Sunday … v dun have any place to go besides the City Centre where v go there almost 5 days per week …. Although v always visit this place , I still get confused with the shops there …. N my uni too …. I really have no sense of direction …. Whenever I dunno which way to go , I will simply walk till I saw a place tat I wanna go ……. Haha …. Keep exploring n keep discovering …. Since I din go out today ,Vivian and I did the vacuum job n cleaned the toilet as well (Vivian did most of the hard chores.. good gal!!!)after tat, I stayed inside my room almost the whole day watching movie (‘Old School’- very funny movie about sex) & Animation(‘Lovely Complex’-about a tall gal fall in love with a short guy).. my frens felt very strange tat I did not appear in the living room …. Haha…. I thought my birthday will b s usual s the weekend life ….. my new fren Sabrina (with Vivian and CY) made a chocolate birthday cake … it’s yummy .. n I ate 2 pieces …It has been a long long time I ever eat a cake .. everytime I go to the Rutherford College to take lunch , I saw cakes ……. I dunno wat type of cake but it looked very delicious …… hohoho finally I can eat a cake today …. Felt so satisfied ….. I wonder how they made it ……hehe…and v had our dessert too … Sabrina cooked it …. It’s potato with ginger “tong sui”… and v ate curry chicken too ……a taste of Malaysian food ……..i feel so contented … haha …. Although v r far from our home country , I felt contented tat v still can taste some of the Malaysian food sometimes …..the most surprised event is tat they put the candle deep down the cake n asked me to use my mouth to pick it up…. Actually I was thinking tat they wont do anything to me coz the cake is very precious n al of us r looking forward to eat it …. Eventually they did pushed my head n my whole face cover with the sugar n chocolate powder ( which they placed on top of the cake) ….. I have to admit tat I’m too careless .. hehe ….(mayb I keep thinking to eat tat cake) … hehe …. I WANNA THANKS TO MY FRENS , VIVIAN (making the cake and wedges ), KATHY (pc karaoke) , PHEI SZEE (curry) , YEAN ZHENQ (did the cooking) , SABRINA (cake, dessert & chrysanthemum tea) & Cheng Yuen (mysterious gift) FOR CREATING SUCH A MEMORABLE 1ST OVERSEA BIRTHDAY !!! It’s a tired day ….it’s 12am something now .. gonna sleep …. Tomorrow will b the start of my second week uni life ……….

simple but delicious !!!

New Life

It’s about 2 weeks since I came to UK . I started to adapt to the life in UK but not the University life . I din actually join any of the club or society coz I can’t get transport to travel to uni at night . Most of the activities are hold at night . And I can’t actually get into the subjects tat I have here . Most of the reason is tat I din take further maths and eco during A- level . There’s a lot of students from China in my class . And the students in uk are very active . They like to ask question in the lecture . And they also seems like did a lot of revision everyday . everyone seems to b very hardworking . I’m still in the mood of holidaying now . Have to wake up la !!! I feel very tired n sleepy every night n I sleep early everyday too… My life really change a lot … and I have to force myself to wake up everyday . and the timetable is so packed . sometimes I dun even know I have class . For instance , the Algebra lecturer cancelled the class on Tuesday 4pm but he sent a mail at 2pm to inform us there’s class at 4pm . oh my god !!! Who else will check the mail at 2 pm ?! It’s really a disaster tat my house still dun have internet access . I feel like I have been left out from the real world . I dun even know a bout anything from my home country and also my family , frens and relatives . It’s very hard to contact them . Luckily I bought a skype phone tat can talk to them when they online . Some how I cant use it coz usually I will b having class when everybody is online . wat I can do is to access to the internet whenever I have an hour break . I really miss the food in Malaysia . prawn mee , pan mee , laksa, curry chicken , nasi lemak , ………………etc ……one thing tat I really like to live in Malaysia is the food . hahahaha… I can even get to taste food from different countries too such as Korean (bbq chicken is yummy!!!!!!!), Japanese , Italian ………. Most importantly it is cheap too ……. The food in uk is very expensive …. Although the raw food “sounds” cheap (around 1.50pound for small pack of vegetables) , it’s quite expensive in Malaysia lo……. I try not to compare the price ….. but it’s impossible currently at this stage . I have a sudden feel like I will prefer to stay in Malaysia to study for anything ….. haha…. Coz everything is convenient in malaysia …… It’s easy to get a meal or anything to eat …… I cant find any place to have supper here ……. I mean some place like mamak stall la n I miss the time tat v yum cha together at night…..some more I eat bread everyday too ….. N the most common food I can find here is sandwiches …. No doubt the sandwiches here r quite delicious ……. But currently I found tat there’s small variety of food ….. Perhaps v will have some fun over here too ..fun due to our mistakes…… pouring too much salt in vege , wash my clothes in washing machines without soap ,…… life without parents assisting will b a disaster ….. but this is the time for us to learn to b independent …..

Start Of Something New II

25th of Sept 2008

Today we went to a place called ASDA in town . It’s a hypermarket like Carefour . After doing our shopping , we went to the bus stop n waited for the bus . after about 30 mins , there’s no bus came and most of the ppl waiting disappeared . We decided to take a cab back to our house but most of the cabs r occupied . So , my fren asked a person waiting and she told us the way to the nearest bus stop tat v can get to our bus . Then v started walking with our shopping bags in hands . walked and walked and walked . after an hour, I supposed tat the distance is from my house to Cheras , v finally reached City Centre Bus Station . We r very exhausted somehow v r glad tat the weather is cold here so tat it’s quite comfortable walking to City Centre . V met a fren in the bus stop n she was came from ASDA too ……… most important is she jus got down from the bus and she told us she jus get to the bus 15 mins ago ……….. SWT ….. speechless v got up to the 22 BUS and headed back home . Life experience …………. Haha … and I can keep fit too…. But it’s useless to me , coz input more than output … haha ……

23rd of Sept 2008

We had a dinner for international students in Uni at 7pm . This is a very dramatic night we had . Firstly , my frens and I came back late from the City Centre in Canterbury . When v reached home , it’s already 7.15pm and v changed our clothes in a highest speed . After tat , we walked al the way to the bus stop near our house but most of the bus will come at 7.45pm . So v decided to walked till v reached the St. Dunscan bus stop which v can go by Uni bus . As v were crossing a roundabout , a car came out of no where n nearly knock my fren . the other fren and I were shocked at the moment and we quickly ran across it . The driver of the car stopped his car aside n ran towards my fren n asked her whether she is fine . He is a responsible person and I never see such person in my home country . PPl in my home country will run as far as they could if they did anything wrong . haha . I think this is quite common here . we should learn from him . Then I quickly asked him whether he could take us a ride to our Uni bcoz it’s very cold at night n 3 of us were wearing high heels n dress . Luckily he is willing to fetch us . although he dunno the way to our Uni n took the wrong turn , he seems so polite to all of us . we were very lucky to meet such great person. Finally , we reached the Uni at 8pm and v managed to enjoy our dinner . we had a ‘great’ life experience in UK . Haha . And 3 of us decided not to go out at night again since the transportation is inconvenient here . haha. God Bless tat v r safe .
