Finally i can breathe again...
my first post in the uk. I was dead worried that my place wouldn't have internet; turns out i could just plug it in and use it!!
i haven't really been doing much in london since it's so amazingly big.unlike kl, london can just swallow you up. so i do get a bit apprehensive going out on my own.
wakaka..my first venture out and i got lost. since i had to go to the strand campus for my orientation, i *dumb dumb* tried to go there using the tube. bleh, everyone says it's like damn convienient, which it is, only i so totally wasn't used to it. besides, it's much easier using the bus from where i'm from.
damn sheet man, so after wandering around king's cross for a while, maybe aboutt half an hour,and not knowing which place to transit, i did try to ask some people, but after a while i just gave up since i didn't have a clue where to go and my orientation was in a half hour.so i ended up trying to buses.
the thing about uk buses is that you have to buy the ticket at the bus stop *there are ticket dispensers for that*. but the stupid thing is none of them works!!
so i couldn't get my ticket...and i couldn't get my oyster card*something like touch and go* since i was running late for my appointment...
it came to a point where i totally gave up. so i went back to my hall to get the exact location of the strand from my place.ish ish which i was doing the whole time trying to memorize the directions, but reading maps isn't my forte...wakakaka....
in the end, somehow finally i managed to find blardy strand!! after 1 1/2 hours when it's like mmmm 2km from my freaking place!!
after a nice kl nanny who could only converse in cantonese and mandarin..
after asking directions from like a gazillion people...
i hate this helpess feeling. it really irritates me.only vaguely knowing where i'm going.. the first thing i'm going to do this weekend is to explore the neigbourhood!!

anyways people here are pretty friendly, wakaka but it's almost impossible to find people who i can truly click with...
seriously these past two years, i've been spoilt for choice chilling with people i love and can relate to. here, bleh...small talk all the way. not that i have problems with small talk, but it'll be awesome to find someone who "knows" you..wakaka thank god for msn video!!
I MISS YOU guys Phreaking much..
i miss my car to...huhuhu...

anyways, i ended up chillin with some people from hong kong. they're really nice and all, but being ex-international school students, they act like international school students everywhere.lol..sorta like you know they have brains, but just no sense...
"seriously, where does the sun rise?"
or
"is that london bridge?"
and we were walking along the thames.there are like probably 5 freaking bridges there..and everytime we'd pass one bridge,
wakaka but they're really funny...

funny thing about the uk is, hangers are really expensive. it costs like 7 ringgit for the wooden ones. plastic ones are almost always sold out..but then stores provide free hangers.. so now i've got hangers from marks & spencers all that places,,,,
the weather over here isn't as cold as i thought. so i haven't been wearing jackets much. in fact, i think uk's suffering from some heat wave. so happy!!
