Life in UK...

Well, this is my first post since I arrived in this nice but very the unfamiliar country...let's start from the minute I step into the plane...was trying to sleep once I step into the plane so that I won't have jet lag problem....but there were babies in the plane and it was quite hard to sleep...plus, I think the service is too good...they keep serving us food....there's once the air steward woke me up for food and I was so blur that I thought that guy was Dr .M....haha!! terkejut me....then arrived at Dubai for transit....it was quite early in the morning for the local time but the airport was so busy....probably planes to different parts of UK embark from Dubai and that's why everyone stopping there....we waited at Dubai airport for a good 4 hours and finally board the plane once again...oh ya....btw, my send in luggage weigh 31.4kg, hand carry 12kg, back pack 9kg and laptop bag almost 6kg...man!! dun count the send in luggage, I was carrying 27kg at a time...imagine how tired was that....and din know it's going to be worst in UK....

Finally, arrived at UK....thought got service to take us back to our accomodation....but our senior took us back by train instead....so, with all the luggages, we took a train to our university, and then have a good 10 minutes back to my "house"....actually it doesn't take that long, but because we were too tired, we took our time..by the time we reached home, we have to carry the luggages up to the top most floor, 5th floor to my room...man!! imagine I carry myself...I am so dead but luckily got my senior and a friend to help....our arms were totally detaching....but good also lar din follow the pick-up-service, we get to see and learn things faster....that's why the next day, after registration we straight away go open bank account and then start shopping...get all the necesities...cuz the night before, we have no bed sheet, no duvet covers and we were shivering our ass off at night..yes, got heater...but I only realise that I did not on the heater the next day...no wonder it was cold...haha!! so, we went shopping...there's this store that called Argos....it's like Ikea but somehow it's different....so, me and brenda sitting on the sofa, looking at the catalogue and started choosing our pillow and duvet and covers....then, go to the counter and tell the cashier which model u wan and they print a receipt and u pay...then they will call ur receipt number and u will collect ur stuff....so weird right? I got my V shape pillow and my duvet that is 13.5 tog with duck and down feather....but our pillow is so thin until Brenda said that it's thinner that roti canai....seriously, the cotton will make space for our head so in the end our head is touching the bed instead...wat to do...we wanted cheap marr...in the end Brenda have to abandon her pillow and get a pillow that cost 18 pounds....haha!!! ok, after shopping (where we get the box tissue, toilet paper and bla bla bla....), we started our journey home...ok, that's not fun...with all the load, we walked and took a 7 minute train back.....well, by the time we reached home....our arms were detaching soon...and muscles all tonned up d....

Then, the next day we went to Ikea...imagine...Ikea in UK....yeah, it's not near....we took a 7 minute train then transit another train which take bout 15 min....then walked bout 10 min to get to Ikea...yeah, that's how far...but we still have to go there to get towel rack, laundry bag, hangers and etc....we went with 3 guys....and the way they shop, is worst than a lady.....compare price, frequent minded, betul betul mafan k....by the time we reach home, it's already almost 8.30pm..siao...we went there at 11am in the morning k....imagine carrying a towel rack taking train...yeah, that's how we look like...when we were walking back to the train station from Ikea, we were so tired that we juz dump our stuff on the ground and started to lie down on the grass...even an aunty that passed by laugh at us...haha!! finally, reached home and I was so relief...

There's this night that I went dinner with my relative....we went to Chinatown to have dinner and the roast duck was good....but then, the bill also good as it came up to 70 pounds...man!! it's like almost 500 bucks back at home...siao betul larr...we only have like half roasted duck, "char siew and siew ngap", one veggie, squid and rice....great right?

So far, life is good here...and tiring as well...tired of walking because they dun have much escalator here....from train to get to platform, it's stairs.....I miss Alfred, and Evil Rabbit and even "Lambogini"...(my family should know....they are my cars at home...) it's really tiring....my muscles are tonning up everyday....TIRED!!!! and the things that we need to get seems to be a neve ending story....siao lar!! I AM SO TIRED OF WAKING!! GETTING A BIKE SOON!!! gosh!! and I miss home too...especially my family...and my nice bed and pillow, good smell bathroom...white light lamp....haih........trying to get use to the life here...they seem to go clubbing everynight...

It's seriously a whole new chapter in my life....Cheerz mate!!
