Goodbye Malaysia, Hello England.

6th September 2006. was the day i said 'Goodbye' to Malaysia

i rained 3 times that day. it seemed like the sky knew i leaving and that they were upset too.

i was surprisingly numb. i couldn't feel upset. no idea why.

got into a huge arguement with the boyfriend that morning. i guess we both we so stressed out with each other and the fact that we would be apart until December, was killing both of us inside. but still, I was surprisingly numb.


after a quick stop at the salloon and then to settle some bank account errands at HSBC, we got dressed, picked up Gary and headed for Yi Keong's convocation at the Sunway Lagoon Hotel!




Me, M.S.G., Yi Keong aka Yish and Gary.


He's so adorable! congratulations! :D

the boyfriend had not had anything the whole day and it was already 4 in the afternoon. So...



...he curi makan!

I surprisingly bumped into Justin Oei who happens to know Yish as well!



Shortly after that, the boyfriend had a call from Hing to go yam cha.


In front of Seaview restaurant. see it's still raining outside. aih.


aih. i miss him :(

well unfortunately ive forgotten to bring down the camera to take a picture with Hing, but oh heck. ;p

"I missed my class this morning which was suppose to be 10:10 this morning so i told my mum who took leave today to be at home that it was at 1645 instead."

ceh. and i ingat you baik sangat to call us out for a drink. ish. *smurfff*



anyway, had to start to pack so left shortly after i shared a bowl of 'low she fun' with minced pork with the boyfriend. ;p and my girls gave me a surprise visit at home just before i left the house to the airport.


I was still in my towel. -_-



The girls, Sue and Elaine together with Shuf, had bought me this lovely present and card.

and in that present was a gorgeous pinkish-purplish scarf from Esprit! Ive seen that scarf before and i know it's not cheap! >.<

ah girls. just wanna say thank you for that wonderful present and that it's okay that you girls couldnt send me off. and that you girls shouldnt have spent so much on that present. thanks. :( AIH.

on the way to the airport, we were singing, talking and laughing. the boyfriend drove us; me, my mum and my sister. dad left early with the MAS transport. and i was still surprisingly numb.




even after taking some photos at the airport, i was still numb. i couldn't cry. thats until we had to part and when i hugged my baby sister.



taken by my lil' sister, vee.

but when i got on the plane, i was numb. i surprisingly couldn't feel sad as we departed, and i don't miss the boyfriend which i always do even if we're apart for only 5 minutes. O_O

well i started taking pictures in the aeroplane because I had this chance to sit the new model of 747 and it was extremely gorgeous!



isn't cool? just a click of one of these buttons, they will automatically adjust your seat for you!

for example, can you see the button with a fork and knife? or rather the one that has a bed picture on it? the fork and knife button would put your seat up right position, comfortable to eat while the bed button would let it slide down. chun huh?!



mummy lazying around. ;p


Supper with some TV! ;p


Ravioli! Yum!


isn't the biggest strawberry you've ever seen?! O_O

had a short nap after that and woke up just 2 hours before landing in London. i felt like having maggie soup and i requested it to a stewardess. shortly after that i received this message on my TV!




haha! cute huh? i didn't know they could send messages through the TV!


mama smurf posing. ;p

before landing at the Heathrow airport, we got to sit in the first class for about 10-15 minutes.


Damn they've got an extra and a more comfortable pillow. crap. >.<



The 14 inch TV for the first class passengers! damn. >.<

we arrived at Heathrow airport and had a hussle with the health control department, which was scary by the way. we over heard the lady at the counter telling off this international student.

"what do you mean you don't have a offer letter from the university and no accomodation yet? THIS IS ENGLAND!"

fuyoh. garangnya.

after that, we rushed to catch the coach as it was waiting to take us to the hotel for a night's stay before heading for Bristol the next morning.


Copthrone Hotel, London.


The hotel lobby and cafe.




-__-

we decided to have lunch at Bugis Street for Singaporean and Malaysian cuisine.



mama smurf, papa smurf and the smurfette.

a walk around London and to China Town.





On the double-decker bus.





Apparently trishaws are famous here too! O_O


China Town!



In one of the restaurants that apparently has the best Peking Duck. The owner is from Hong Kong and his workers are all from Malaysia! O_O
L-R: me, dad, Hari and mum.

i saw the cigerette box Hari had and its odd when they've got warning printed in BIG bold letters and yet he's still smoking his way happily. haha!




BIG huh? *winks at Hing and Jan*





And finally the English cab. we had to try one. ;p


And it's PINK!


"Look ma! Wheeee~!!!"

I had a terrible sleep that night. Don't know if it was because of the time difference or rather... hmmm. i don't know. But I was still surprisingly numb. i mean i was sad. and i kinda miss home but it didn't really bother me AT ALL. O_O

and so early the next morning, we had a quick stop at McDonalds for breakfast (which was my last McDs meal too.) and it was delicious as they serve PORK here! *slurp*


The morning flowers by a stall. they're gorgeous and they smell wonderful too. On the way to McDs.


Who say mothers can't camwhore? O_O


Yummmyy!!

and after the wonderful breakfast (which i miss so much now), we headed off to the London Paddington Train Station. It was pretty exciting really.





These were ALL my luggages. mum wanted a photo of me and all of it together. -_- can you count how many are there? O__O


This poor dog was stepped on the tail by that old man. could you see as it winces in pain? :(


Hmph.

The most embarrassing part was i got stuck at the ticket counter trying to pull my huge PINK trolley in. I even had two security guards came running to help pull my bad out of the machine (you know those machines where you have them at the train station after putting your card in to enter?). My parents were laughing at me.

"You're lucky we didn't take a photo!" as my mum laughs out loud and i was free to wheel my luggage away. looking rather apologetic and embarrassed.

-_- ish.








It was about a good two hour journey as we arrived at Bristol Parkway Train Station.

and as we arrived at the University, got my key (which was a key card by the way) to my flat, unpacked my stuffs and headed to a nearby supermarket called Sainsbury to buy our goods to cook for that night!



YES I AM COOKING SALMON!

*smurf proud*


Yup smile for the camera and thumbs up to the smurfette's cooking!! wooohhoo!!



and it was the best meal ive ever had.

It really tastes extra special when its your cooking. HAHA

-------

The next morning, i woke up feeling very uncomfortable. i didn't sleep well again the whole night partly because i slept on the floor the whole night. -_- but i still wasn't upset..

mum and dad decided to cook some food for me so i could heat it up for dinner much later as they were going back to London that evening.


My dad can cook! O_O ceh. berlagak. ;p



A lil' view of my kitchen/hall.



The parents still had some time left before their train departs and decided to go visit the City Center.





We waited like for 45 minutes for the bloody bus and my dad was getting grumpy. We were suppose to take Bus 70 but daddy got impatient and went up on the next bus that came by and it was hillarious because he was very hungry and already kinda angry. he was trying to speak to the foreign bus driver to take us to the City Center and it turned out like this.

"Are you taking passengers to the City Center?"
The foreign bus driver shook his head confusingly and showed dad a list of places he would be stopping at.
"okay but can anyone of this places takes us closer to the city center? we want to get there to eat and walk around."
The bus driver still look pretty stoned up as he clearly didn't understand what my dad just said.
"I WANT FOOD! YOU KNOW CITY CENTER? WELL JUST TAKE ME TO SOMEWHERE THAT HAS FOOD!!" as he did a hand gesture of eating.

it was so embarrassing and funny. HAHA! and the poor guy just shook his head and said no. haha!

-_____-


anyway we soon caught up with the right bus and we were on our way.



Look what i saw on the way to the City Center... a PURPLE house! it's walls were covered in light lilac and with a dark purple door. I know a few certain people that would be definately interested in it so i took a picture. ;p

there was a guy who was walking past it and thought i was taking a picture of him. he posed and waved! O_O
*perasan gila* -___-



At the Port of Bristol. It is in the heart of the City Center of Bristol.


There were ships shipping goods and ferry rides available for tour.


I saw this lil' girl with a father by the port and she look so adorable that i had to take a picture of her. ah. damn i love kids *hint hint* ;p

When walking around the City Center, my UK phone was ringing! 'was i wrong?!' I thought to myself. I took out my phone and it was the boyfriend who was calling all the way from Malaysia!!

"HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABY!"
"Love, what are you doing?! It's expensive! I mean as much as I AM glad to hear from you, it is expensive!"
"For a short while i guess. It's our anniversary ma."

Awwww. What a sweetheart.

After that, we came home shortly as there weren't much to do and ate at home instead.
Dad kept telling me that he didnt feel like going. that he really was going to miss me and that how much he wanted to stay a lil' longer. but i still was numb.

Until... that is when i saw them went up the cab and teared as they waved goodbye...

I broke down.

i came home and ive lost all the will to stay here. everything hit me all a sudden. i was alone and am going to be alone.

I can cook. i can wash. and i definately can clean. im great with my housemates. they're wonderful. well except for one immature greek but still.

I want to go home.




please.


------------------------------


A new housemate came in today! His name was Chris and he is from Malaysia too! but the strange part is when i offered to give him a hand with his three huge luggages and shook his hand for his name, he was shaking. no. more of shivering. O_O the even strangest part is when i asked him if he wanted to meet the others and he said, 'no'.

Weird huh?

well let's see how things go. maybe he's shy. or rather i was too aggressive.
