LIFE IN UK FOR THE FIRST TIME

6 JANUARY 20009

A unusual morning with full of anxiety,,i woke up at 6am in the morning,,a funny feeling in my stomach makes me awake all of a sudden,,

It was as usual as any morning,,i didnt care of my stomach,,,not when i had more important business to do,,yes,,it was today that i had never dream of,,it was a today that i never expected,,

8am-KLIA-my parents and i had reached the airport,,my stomach grumbles again,,,i went to the toilet,,,and i vomited,,Later,,we sat at KFC talking about do's and dont's, London,,the weather, London,,the accommodation, London,,

9:15am-i met my friends,,they were kah ming, min ee, kok wai and jack

10:30am-we check-in,,through customs and board the flight-747 aircraft carrier,,and there we go,,,LONDON,,HERE WE COME

11:30am-my stomach feels funny again,,,this is what i thought,,i suppose the food from yesterday night was rotten,,,but later i realised it is actually the nervousity of my body and that night,,,my chemical process in my body changes,,it seem to make me more adaptable when in London(i found out when i was in London the 2nd day)
Anyway,,i vomited in the plane------toilet

LONDON's time 4pm in the afternoon-which means 12 hour flight from KLIA

we touchdown in a very usual and formal way,,this is the first time i traveled so far
this is where it all begin,,,my right foot on a ground i knew i had to walk on this ground,,perhaps,,forever,,

LONDON was indeed different from MALAYSIA,,the culture,,temperature,,civilisation,,whatever you name it,,,only 1 thing remains,,is that we are all humans,,

LONDON is a metropolitan city,,too metropolitan qua,,you will find all nationalities in here,,some of it I BET IT IS YOUR FIRST TIME HEARING IT IF YOU HEARD IT,,thats why this is where you need to socialise,,to get to know friends-preferably asians,,,haha,,,be careful,,you might bump into someone highly dangerous

LONDON is a very well connected by the TUBE-an underground train,,,some TUBE had a 100 years history already,,i coudnt believe it when someone told me,,the tubes here varies according to the line,,,some travel from north to south only,,south to west only,,west to north only,,east to south only(you make the direction yourself-N S E W)

LONDON citizens are very civilised,,not like KL-you have acah and amah,,,London's population is highly educated, polite and manored people,,you may ask anyone on the street for directions,,,or anything except,,,CASH

LONDON is where it all started,,i took the tube to my temporary accomodation,,and when i reached there,,that hotel closed,,and kah ming and i was left stranded there,,guess what,,we had a friend there,,yay,,it was howe howe,,he brought to a Malaysian Hostel,,just for stranding malaysians like me,,,to stay
The Malaysian hostel,,too bad,,only allowed 2 days stay,,after that,,,GET LOST

2nd day-we(km and i) went to college to settle stuff,,there we met a girl called wendy,,it was the first malaysian i know,,that was living here,,she brought to a place called manor house(because my malaysian hostel expires tommorow morning),,
The landlady had a TEMPORARY vacant double room for me and km,,it was ok,,we agreed to stay for a week,,,//remember i said that im more adaptable,,it seems i dont feel homesick or very cold in London,,plus this 2 days journey to get a hostel did not make me feel very tired too-chemical process in my body changed thats why

3rd day-This was a morning i was hoping to get a permanent accommodation,,the landlady the told us there will be a single and double room available,,but then km wants to join the rest of our friends-jack and kw in BAYSWATER,,so let it be,,

4th day-The landlady mistaken,,the TEMPORARY room i and km staying was booked by a malaysian fellow who dont want to share with me(of course,,km had left to BAYSWATER,so no worry),,but me,,i had to camp over the landlady's house for 2 nights,,

7th day-THE TEMPORARY rooms expires,,so i move out to the double room available,,because the single room can ONLY be occupied end of January,,it will be for 2 weeks in this double room

FROM 8TH DAY to 21 DAY-it was busy weeks,,i went to SAINSBURRY(A DEPARTMENTAL STORE,LIKE TESCO) to do groceries,,IN UK,,there are 5 DEPARTMENTAL STORES-MOST EXPENSIVE IS WAITROSS,,FOLLOWED BY MORRISONS,,THEN SAINSBURRY,,,THEN ALDA,,THEN TESCO-THE CHEAPEST),,but sometimes i find sainsburry OWN BRAND is cheaper then TESCO,,you can compare their OWN BRAND,,which could be much cheaper then others,,eg sainsburry pasta, siansburry mee, sainsburry bread

LIKE ANY OTHER STUDENT IN MANOR HOUSE,,i get to know more malaysians living in this area,,we,,students overseas,,unite always,,here is a dinner a friend cook,,we went to her place to eat




CHINESE NEW YEAR TUAN YUAN FAN-we went to BAYSWATER to find km and gang to eat,,it was a potluck party




FURTHERMORE,,my friends and i went to the national art gallery,,this is a picture outside the art gallery*(inside the art gallery, cameras are strictly prohibited)





MOREOVER,,we went to CHINATOWN,,this is a restaurant we went to eat some chinese food,,price around 5 pound each dish,,



FEB 1 2009-i fetch my sister back to oxford city near LONDON at 1pm,,,we reached OXFORD at 4:30pm,,we ate dinner there,,,and then i went back to LONDON at 8pm,,,i reached LONDON at 9:30pm,,,GUESS WHAT,,it was snowing drastically,,here is a few pictures of my man make snow-man
