I hate weekends... :S

The title spells out everything... I hate weekends!!! True... This is the second weekend I am in Bristol... I don't know... Weekends tend to make me miss home more... Next week is Hari Raya... But there's no break for me at all... Everyone back in Malaysia will have public holidays but not me...

Weekends give me more time to think about everyone... My dad, my mum, my sis, darling, dear, aunties, uncles, cousins, friends, neighbours, whoever you can name it... Even the dogs or cats on the road can be missed... Speaking of it, it has been quite some time since I last see a cat... I can always see dogs near my house but people here doesn't like cats it seems...

Sigh~~~~

Oopss...

I left out something in yesterday's blog... Something more interesting than my shopping trip... Hahaha... Well, I was sitting in front of the laptop chatting yesterday after the shopping trip, and my room suddenly turned dark... Common sense told me it's power failure... Never ever I anticipated that it's actually the problem with the bulb... Gosh... NO choice... I don't want to live in dark... Immediately grabbed the phone and callled my landlady... Smart of her... She reminded me that I have a table lamp to survive with... Hahaha... That's the consequence of being panic... Sigh... I learnt my lesson... :S

Failed... :(

Today I went to Cribbs Causeway with Eng Soon and Sprina... It's a very big place with plenty of shopping malls there... Got Toys 'R' Us, The Mall, Asda WalMart and so on... Can't remember all the names... I only knew that The Mall is a great place to shop... It's a place like Mid Valley or One Utama... Haha...

And guess what... I failed my first shopping test terribly... I simply could not resist the temptation... Or maybe it's simply too irresistible... Sshhh... Better keep this a secret... Even though I tried to convert pounds to ringgit malaysia, but somehow I still bought it in the end... Hahaha... Of course I feel a sense of guilt... Sigh.........

Now waiting for my parcel from Malaysia... Can't wait can't wait... I want my rice... I want my noodle... I want everything from Malaysia... Hopefully everything reaches me... Haha...

Good night everyone... Take care and miss ya... Muacksss...

Spaghetti for life...

Hahaha... I guess I am really addicted to spaghetti or I am forced to... Been having spaghetti almost evryday... But somehow the more I eat, the more I like it... The amount of tomato paste that I had here in a week is more than what I had in my 20 years of life... Can you guys believe it??? When I was in Muar, I only had spaghetti 3-4 times only throughout my 20 years of life... But I've been having 5 times of spaghetti when I am in Bristol for only a week... And I have finished a bottle of pasta paste... Hahaha... You guys may find me pathetic or simply too lazy... But seriously I am not... I feel that spaghetti is quite healthy because I can choose to put in a lot of vegetables... Rice is fatter than spaghetti, right???

Been adapting well to everything here... Hmmm... Eng Soon told me just now that the temperature may dropped to 9 degree Celcius tonight and now my foot is feeling cold... Can feel the wind coming in from god knows where when I didn't even open the window... Semester going to commence next Monday... Can't wait can't wait... Daniel said I can't wait to see British lengzai... Maybe it's true lo... Hahaha... Time for me to bath n sleep early... Good night everyone... Take care and miss ya... Muacksss...

p/s : So far there are only spaghetti and BBQ spareribs in Shi Hui's menu... :S

Hmmm...

Hmmm... I have been here for almost a week... Cried for how many times... Don't know... It's countable but I don't think it's a good idea to reveal it here... Haha... Just the thought of calling back home can make me cry... What do you guys expect??? Seriously speaking, I miss everyone especially my family... I cried when I webcam with them... I cried when I read the email from my sis... Omg... Semester oh semester... Can you please commence asap??? I need to have something to do... Shouldn't have fly here so early... Haiz...

I miss the food back in muar... Even those I don't really like to eat can cross my mind... I miss chilli... From chilli sauce to cili padi to sambal to curry... It makes me drool now... Haha...

Been busy visiting Sainsbury's almost everyday... And I only realised that I actually have talent in cooking... I can cook my own lunch and dinner... Although so far only has spaghetti and BBQ spareribs, I am sure one day I can come out with a very nice spaghetti... By that time, if I choose not to be an accountant, I can be a cafe owner... Who want to chip in capital??? Feel free to contact me... Hehe...

Well, I guess I can get used to the life in Bristol... Don't worry... I won't make it a Blur Life... Someone told me before that I can actually survive wherever I go... Just dump me anywhere and I can make the best out of it... I guess I won't disappoint you... :P

I told myself that if my dad sends me here to train me to be independent, then I should not disappoint... Make the best out of the time I have in Bristol... I might like this place and stay here for good since I got mummy's green light dy...

So, readers out there... I am fine... Doing really great here except for sometime when tears can't be controlled well... I am a human being... No doubt being controlled by emotions sometime... Take care and miss ya...

Life at Bristol...

It has been almost one week since I first stepped on the land named Bristol… Departed from KLIA on 15 Sept at 10.05am Malaysia time… The 13-hour journey was indeed tiring… The feeling of uncertainty and excitement filled my mind… Reached Heathrow Airport, London at 11pm Malaysia time… Waited for more than an hour to get through the custom… There were really many students arriving on the same day… There were UWE ambassadors who were already waiting for us at the airport… Took a coach to Bristol… Again the journey took us about 2hours to reach Bristol from London… Here’s a recap of what has been happening…

15/09/2008
Tory came and picked us up at UWE together with Eng Soon… Headed to the city to buy duvet… Got the keys to my house… Sprina and Jocelyne put up a night at my house as their landlord couldn’t pass them their keys on that day… Quite satisfied with the condition of my room… Spacious room and spacious bathroom… Haha… Unpacked my luggage, bathed and zzzzzz…. Tiring day as I had a bad jetlag…

16/09/2008
Woke up quite early… Around 6.15am Bristol time… Can’t sleep… Haha… Gave mummy a call and cried… Imagine I cried when I told Sprina I want to call home… Haiz… Shame on me… Got ready to go out… Had breakfast at McD… Met Siang Chuan and another senior there… They are working there… Forgotten our passport and progression certificate.. Went back home, took it and went to UWE… Went to Sprina’s house after that… Their landlord fetched us to Ikea… Bought some necessities there… Tory came and fetched us back after that… Had dinner at McD as it is near to Woolsworth… Went there to stock up whatever is necessary… Still feeling the jetlag… Imagine I feel sleepy when it’s only 4pm at Bristol… Sigh… Slept quite early… Tired…

17/09/2008
Today we are going to UWE for the induction and campus tour… Gathered at the bus stop at 8.30am and walked to UWE… After luch, we went to the city… Bought myself a prepaid sim card to be used here temporarily… Headed back home after coming back from city… Had a late dinner at McD again with Eric and Sprina… It’s getting colder and colder here… I managed to force myself to sleep at 11.30pm… :P

18/09/2008
Woke up quite early… Around 7am.. Called back home to ask mummy to send me some stuff… Surprisingly, I didn’t cry… Met Eric and Sprina at King George to walk to UWE… I just accompanied them to hand in their bank application form… Went to Sainsbury’s after that… Bought chicken, mushroom, vegetables and spaghetti… That will be my dinner for a few days… Able to go online so had a chat in msn for a while… Cooked spaghetti for my dinner… First attempt… It wasn’t that bad la… Haha… Oh ya… I finally see sun in Bristol… It’s a sunny day today...

19/09/2008
Managed to sleep in till 9am… Ed came at 10am… Signed the contract… Asked him about the internet but he knew nothing.. Nvm… I’ll just wait for Ann to come back… Met Sprina at King George again to walk to UWE… Had my bank account number… Banked in those bank draft that I brought here… Hopefully will get access to the money asap… I m going broke… Still owe Tory money… Haiz… Went to Sainsbury’s again to restock… Went back home quite early… Went online and chatted with my small sis back home… Saw mummy and three small sis through webcam… Haiz… Cried again… Chatted for quite some time... After going offline, went to prepare dinner again… Had spaghetti but with different ingredients this time… Haha… I’ll come up with Shi Hui’s Special Spaghetti soon… Haha… Btw, it’s a hot hot day today… :)
Will keep you guys updated.. Take care and miss ya...
