Hey people!

HEY GUYS!! Sorry for the lack of news since I came to UK. Just that I've been a bit busy with two assignments which ended on Wednesday and Friday respectively. So I'm FREE (at least for now...)

How are you people doing? =) Miss me? Hehe, same here. It's been about a month since I came here. It was actually quite a shock the first few days, as I suddenly realized that I am a minority here. Look left and right, all ang mos. But then slowly got used to it. There are quite a few Malaysians here as well, but quite a lot of Chinese I met are from Hong Kong. Lolx.

I am staying at a halls of residence around 15 minutes from college. Walk to coll everyday. XD No choice cuz it is the easiest way. Good exercise as well! =P My roomate's a Swiss. A helpful and not-too-noisy guy. Almost the perfect roomate I could have asked for. The rent is quite expensive (At least for us)- Less than £100 a week! But my aunt said it is reasonable since it is a quiet area in Central London – The Royal Borough of Westminster and Chelsea (think it's called that...), in which rents could probably be much higher...

Oh ya! Forgot to mention my college/halls' location. They are near Fulham Road, Queen's Gate and Old Brompton Road (If these names make any sense to you... ^^) Quite near Royal Albert Hall, National History Museum, South Kensington...

The first week was quite fun. Practically nothing to do, since it was the freshers' week. Then the workload increased rapidly. The lecturers have REALLY a high expectation of you. He taught a series in 10 minutes, and went on while we have XD looks... And how I miss those days when we can just recall a formula, put the values in and get an answer. Now we have to derive an equation from information given before solving it. And the tutor said that that question was very straightforward! T.T

(Siow, a reply to your question :)

How much is a week's expenditure? Hmm... Actually, it varies HUGELY. Say from £ 10 to £ 70 ? Oh, by the way, the area I am staying at is London, CENTRAL London to top it off. About one of the dearest place in UK.

If you buy food and cook yourself, £ 10 a week is more than enough. But IF you makan outside every meal, the second number is just for you. A decent meal is about £ 4. Miraculously (at least to me), I chose the former. Just started cooking since I came to UK. I am still alive and kicking, so I guess so far so good.

But how I miss those days when you could just walk 5 mins from your place to a cha fan store, or a hawker centre, and get a proper meal for RM4; or a roti canai store (there are 3 shops in the street of my house in Muar) Those days seems so far away for me... Sometimes when I really can't eat my food, I'd imagine eating a roti canai, then somehow swallowed it. (Pathetic, huh?)
My breakfast is bread/cereal, lunch, sardine or ham sandwich, dinner cook myself. AARRGHH! I really miss Malaysian food! Someone, DHL a pack of chicken rice to me now! I want a PROPER meal... Guys, seriously, please appreciate the food in Malaysia. You won't know you're in a food paradise until you come out of it.

(Putting that aside...) The temperature is going colder day by day. Now I think the average temperature is 5 or 6 C. But the lowest so far is 0 C, so certain parts of London had snowed, and some had a hailstorm.

Here are some pictures.

Some bridge I saw on the first night on a boat trip.

Guess what this vending machine is...

A closer look at it would be...... XD

Well, these are the updates on my life. Don't know what else to write here. If you guys have any question, just ask. Take care, and cya ! ^.^

(By the way, my friendster and facebook account can be considered dead already. So using them to contact me is a BAD way, unless you want me to reply you say, half a year later? Emailling would be the best. So long! ;)
