PROPERTY IN LONDON
my property is a house...in sydenham london...
Its a good buy and good investment during the UK financial crisis...my family is lucky enough to come across this house.....
ACTUALLY...this house is my own effort...i found this house on my own...i told my parents..they were surprised because its not expensive....a bonus, a steal for anyone who has the money....so we bought it...
this house is a 3 storey house consists of 4 rooms originally..2 master bedroom, 1 kitchen converted bedroom and 1 clockroom(for clothes)...its a traditional style of a white(kuai lou) house...its is built in the 1970's...not long after world war 2....
my house consists of a garden too..its a very beautiful garden decorated by the precious owner..
this is the view from the entrance of the main door...as you can see... a staircase to the 2nd floor is already seen...the other path is to the kitchen converted bedroom(MY ROOM) and the garage

there is 1 more room coming up which is the garage...im converting it to a bedroom..so there will be 5 rooms..but it will take time to renovate

BBQ PARTY AT BAYSWATER
13 JUNE 2009
I was in sainsburry buying bbq food stuff at 1pm in the afternoon...it was my first time bbqing in london...it was an encouraging moment after a lonely presence in my life....
I reached bayswater at 4:45pm...i was suppose to reach at 4pm..however due to the "malaysian timing"..haha..i was 45min late...guess what...the rest also havent start because they havent bought their ingredients...haha
We start bbqing at 5pm..we lay down the food and ingredients...it was a small BBQ PARTY..but its meaningful to all of us...especially to me
At 5:30pm...though i didnt expect..there were more people coming to the BBQ party..about 3 more people...this ones i do not know at all...
They were friend's friend...and this makes the BBQ party much more meaningful..it was a lucky one though...
We ate chicken, beef, burger, bacon, hotdog...as no matter of experience in BBQing...we burnt some of them...haha..
We spent BBQing for 3 hours..we chit chat and talk about malaysia's economy, how many friends are leaving from uk back to Malaysia...
Here is a photo i want to share

CARDIFF TRIP AND BATH TRIP
26 April 2009
It was a sunday...a special day for today(yesterday i was in a club with my friend romeish in oxford street,,we party all the way till 2:20am middle of the night,,i went back at 3am,,slept for 3hours)
I woke up at 6am..i was very sleepy indeed..but i must go for today's trip..i reached the tube(underground train) at 7am..waited for 15min and the rest turned up..we travelled all the way to south wimbledon as we had rented the cars in that place
We reached at 8:30am..however..it started to rain..just a small one,,heavier than drizzle..as i did not bring an umbrella..i drenched in the rain..lucky did the rest brought umbrella..(i remembered 2 umbrella for 5person..as i skip myself,,2person to 1 umbrella)..
The place where we rented the cars was 15 min walk from the tube station..by the time we reached to that place i was like soaking like a slippery fish..haha..but its ok..im tough..
We rented 2 cars..it was better than expected..a ford S-Max and a Renault Megane..a bless for me as i dont need drenched in the rain...but the rain stop when we finished the process of those 2 cars renting application..this took 45min..
Renault gang
Alas,,at 10am,,we set off to cardiff,,there were around 12people..5 in the renault and 7 in the ford..The journey to Cardiff was just beautiful..because you were in a car..you get to see the scenery along the way..the fields are especially green..very green..and yellow too sometimes due to spring as of now-flowers bloom..
We stopped halfway to get our breakfast..it was a rest place for travellers..i bought a loaf of bread..lol..its only enough for me..this time around i get to more people..there were the usual friends adlan,wendy,elizabeth,lowyin and the unusual friends like vans,ellis,(i forgot his name),.....
We reached cardiff at 12pm(i think)..it was a rural area,,but its definitely better than i expected..Cardiff-was famous for their castle,,there was this Cardiff castle..belong to an old king called Sir******...the entrance fee is 10 pound..a good bargain for students..because this time we took a premium fee..means includes a tour
The tour was led by a guy,,,he explains the castle's meaning and reasons about the rooms-how it was built and why..why the children of the kings are dressed like that..etc
The tour lasted 45 min..and then we are free to explore the rest of the mysterious castle..it was quite fun ans we all know the castle grounds was big,,very big,,and very majestic..we took alot of pictures..
later at 4pm we were hungry...and that concludes our visit of cardiff castle..we went to a pizza place just outside cardiff castle..hoho..buffet lunch cost 7pounds-eat all u can..
I ate 7 plates-5plates of pizza and 2 plates of salad..satisfying,,very satisfying indeed..we then wanted to visit more places...yes..we then visited the next castle in cardiff
This was an old castle,,very old,,older than cardiff castle..due to our late presence at 6pm..it was close..so we took pictures outside the castle...this castle however,,was smaller than i expected..
The ford gang of friends decided to go home after this 2nd castle..perhaps they did not eat enough in the buffet as they say they were cold..so this gang was the unusual gang..haha
Actually,,we also wanted to go home after this..but we spend longer time taking pictures at the old castle..and all of a sudden the 5 of us decided to go Bath
We set off from Cardiff to Bath..it was on the same way back to London..so we decided to drop by..Bath was a place not famous for castle,,,but for the roman bath..as we arrived late at 9:30pm at night...we also stay outseide the auditorium to take pictures
I did not expect Bath was just a small town,,it is however,,very small indeed,,but it was sufficient for a late night stroll at 10pm..haha..
At 11pm we decided to go home..it was said that from bath to london takes 1 hour..this is as we need to catch the tube before 12am...it closed its operation at 12am..
We were late..we reached at 12:05am..and the tube operator told us to take a bus..the car rented was returned as we reached at 12am in South wimbledon..actually among 5 of us..3 of us took the bus...it was me low yin and elizbeth..while wendy and adlan camp at a friend's house in South wimbledon(i think the friend stay there)..so they could give the car back the very next morning..and for the other car-well they retuned home at 9pm..so the car operator was still open..
PS:here i gracefully appreciated 2 friends who drove to and fro South Wimbledon and Cardiff and Bath-Wendy and Elizabeth

BRIGHTON TRIP
11 APRIL 2009
It was easter day for britain...as the locals celebrate their easter day with easter eggs,,we, the malaysian group, plan a trip to brighton(south of London),,
We were ready at 7:30am,,most of us arrived at the bus station already,,though 1 person was left out as she was not at the bus station,,it seems that later we found out she only wake up at 11am,,
The bus station was called Victoria Coach Station,,near the famous Victoria Tube Station,,at 8am,,we board the bus and off we go to Brighton,,
The bus journey took 2 hours,,it reached brighton at 10:10am,,at first,,i thought brighton was going to be an eye-opener place,,however,,it was a seaside town,,stone beach,,but its good enough,,because this is my first time in brighton,,
Brighton was only famous for the brighton pier,,a place for fun fair and casino,,we spent most of our time there,,some of us played the dangerous stuff like booster(a long rectangular machine with 2 ends,,at each end there are 4 sits,,so 8 sits total,,and it swing 360 degrees,,i hope my description is good),,haha
I went to play the casino,,a slot where 2pence penny was to be found,,put a 2p pence inside and see whether the machine push my 2pence to other 2 pence,,wait for other 2 pence to fall down,,thus earning some 2pence penny,,lol,,,i lost 1pound worth of 2pence playing that...
Later at the afternnon,,we went to eat the world famous Fish and Chips,,,it was located near brighton pier,,so we went there to have our first meal on that day,,there were 2 choices for their recommended dish,,either cod or haddock,,i called haddock,,it was tasty too,,,
Later we went back to the beach after the meal..it was drizzling..my friends and I were lazying around the stones,,oh yeah i forgot to add that along this beach,,there were many stalls selling some sea food like jelly eel,,the price of the jelly eel was very interesting,,because the more we visit the stallk,,it seems to get cheaper too,,haha,,some of us bought during the earlier stalls and then realised it was so much cheaper at the end,,,
Sharp 4:45pm,,we had to leave brighton and board the bus back to London,,That day was still fresh in my mind to this day i wrote this blog,,
