oh no, my mum woke me up so early today, 7:30 nia, and i slept oni by 1:30am last nite -.-" but there is a reason behind it, my grandpa, grandma, uncle and aunties came to my house to talk to me through webcam, tis is the 1st time, feeling quite good hehe. later, i went to asda and oriental city as well to buy groceries while waiting for helene to reach our tube station. to be frankly, she is so brave lo, follow 2 guys go to their house alone, and the most important is we just know each other for, erm, 2 days. luckily it is me haha, if not, let ppl "eat away" edi :P

28/9/07

today is quin leng's "big day", but too bad, i m too far from malaysia, cant celebrate with her loo. Ling Ying told me she is sad, but li and i din call her, haha, paiseh ler, i got plan to call edi 1, just tat it is a bit later. SMS? it is a bit too little for our frenship ba. anyway, tis is my 1st time ever calling to malaysia on the street for such a long time and quite good i think, i din ever talked to leng thro phone for such a long time, although it is just a few minutes. If i was lying on my bed by tat time, mayb i can talk longer ba, i was really very cold, talking on the street, raining somemore, aiks...

about class, really wtf, my lecturer is wasting my time today! especially after lunch break. He gave us a question, dragged for 1 hr, teaching ntg, but talking some crap, then call for a tea break again. After the break, holyshit, he gave us some "kindergarten" homework, then let us off 30 mins earlier, omg... If i know i sure go bek earlier, use the time to tok to "sao sing lui" better la -.-

27/9/07

today is very cold! the wind is trying to tear my skin off, ouch... Ntg very special happened, but i managed to know 2 malaysian today, 1 guy and 1 gal, haha, at last got a gal in our life in london. She is a very special case, coz she got the same problem, or shd say, we r in the same situation. We stayed in the same hostel, we find room ourselves on the spot and we got the same feeling, tat's london isnt a good place to stay. but she is much extreme, she will go bek by november, dun even wan to sit for the exam here. see la, i m not the only alien who cant adapt to the lifestyle here, but almost every malaysian i know here got the same feeling.exactly like wat i said, this is a good place for tour, but not a good place for staying, boring~~~~~~

26/9/07

oh gosh, i slept for 5 hours oni, then canot sleep back edi, the alarm clock inside my body is so powerful! aih, who call me sleep so late last nite, make ownself suffer oni... well, a peaceful day passed boringly with my routine lifestlye - eat, study, cook, wash dishes, wash clothes, online chit chating etc. Cheng asked me y dun go out for a walk, hmm, actually y ler? lazy i think, becoz it is freaking 20 mins walk from our house to tube station + 30 mins train to town centre. the situation will change by next week, it will be 5 mins walk to tube station! there might b some changes to my free day's activities by then :)

today is very cold, the temperature maintained at 10-12 celcius for the whole day, my fingers and toes frozed for almost the whole day, even glove and socks cant help much. suddenly, i tot of having a warm huggy, who can give me one? definitely not a guy :P

今天是中秋节，所以我决定打华文，要应景一点。

中秋节是一个向来我都不会太在意的日子，21年来，今年的感觉最强烈。可能人在异乡，感觉就比较特别。一说到中秋节，第一个会想起的应该是月饼吧，于是我便想趁着逢周二我都会去asda，顺便在oriental city，一个专卖亚洲产品的超市买一个月饼，很可惜，那里的月饼都是一盒一盒卖的，没有散卖。一盒月饼的价格是18磅，若兑回马币，便是大约130令吉，哇，好贵哦！其实，价钱都还是次要啦，最主要的是两人根本不能吃完一盒，于是，我只能很无奈地打消这念头。算了吧，我总算吃了一顿丰盛的晚餐，就算补回了啦，哈哈。

以前念书时有念到一些关于月圆，思故乡的名句，我都还回给陈老师了啦，正所谓：有借有还，再借不难，这才是君子所为嘛！现在，我多少能体会一点，一点而已哦，毕竟我并还没离开家乡太久。不像我家里另外两个中国人，他们都来了几年，看得出他们还蛮想家的，其中一个还结了婚，有了孩子，相信他的感觉会更强烈吧。

24/9/07

It is raining heavily this morning! 1st time ler, i woke up at 7am, but sleep back at 8am, becoz no way i can go to college like tis, i dun wan to fall sick becoz of this. So, we went to class at 1pm, when the sun is shinning brightly, i love the sun like this.

We met a malaysian today! but kinda funny haha, he is same class with us, but we know him through kevin, wat a joke..but, the class is really kinda boring, plus the lecturer's accent is a bit difficult for me to catch, we went back 1 hr earlier, but we din go bek str8, we went to ASDA, somethg like Tesco, things r quite cheap there. just tat it is a bit far, it is bloody 30 mins walk >.< if i m not mistaken, i din ever walked for so long, just to buy some groceries, not even once! and now i hav to do it twice everyweek, dam tiring ler.

Btw, tis is the tiring day as well, we hav to carry our 30kgs of luggage from our lousy hostel to colindale, altho it is tiring, but i m happy to carry! at least tis is wat i ask for hehe...

11/9/07

aww, a tiring day! today, we went back to tower of london! just for the sack to buy some souvenir, i spent 20 pounds again T.T but, at last we sit and enjoy our lunch in a restaurant, although we din eat something really good, just fried chicken, fries and soft drink, but at least we dun need to eat in the hostel, which made me lose appetite everyday. U know? when luck comes, it really cheered up ur mood! we got 2 choices today, one in colindale as well, kevin found it for us, just around 5-8 mins walk from his house, although it will be a bit far for us when we r going for class, but i think it worth! just 100 pounds per person for 18 days, fully furnished and we dun need to carry our luggage here and there anymore, at last... another one is from the agent i mentioned yesterday, altho it is some kind of attractive deal, but i asked few person's opinion, every1 is supporting the colindale's deal, and i really feel good with tat place, so i rejected the agent. actually i m kinda worry with tat agent oso, coz he asked for cash! 520 pounds per person ler, we r new to tis town, scared to be cheated oso ma, 2 person's total equal to 1040 pounds wo, it is such a huge amount!

10/9/07

there is a person, an agent for lca student wo, he found us a twin room in Old Kent road, 5 mins bus from lca, his offer is quite attractive! 260 pounds per month, fully furnished + wifi, we was so excited, but too bad, he just got the property and it is currently under renovation, really hope tat we can shift out of this place asap, we have xtended 2 more nights in a 4 person's room, hmm, at least better than 10 person room lo, rite? it is 19.5 pounds per nite only, still affordable lo...

Oh ya, the agent text me at last :) we will go for another viewing by tmr, hope tis time we will be able to settle down lo, god bless me...
