GREETINGS BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE FROM THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CITY IN THE WORLD :D
Well not, MOST beautiful but one OF the most beautiful :P
A lil bit on my arrival of my trip before I head to bed :P btw It's 12am in London and 8am in KL so yea, in CASE you were wondering (in which cases you're probably not) haha
I took the AirAsia flight to London for 15 hours. It was immense and utter torture! -___- Allow me to illustrate.
It was a 15 HOUR FLIGHT, my laptop ran out of battery, I have motion sickness so I can't read, I was feeling too dizzy to even turn on my phone to listen to music, my hoodie was too distracting to lean back on, I needed to stretch my legs but I sit in the middle so it's pretty hard, PLUS! What can you do? walk back and forth till people start staring at you like some delusional maniac? Leg space was okay cause I'm short, couldn't say much for the person at the back of me.
TIP : TALL PEOPLE SHOULD NOT FLY AIR ASIA.
So, I couldn't watch anything, sleep, listen to music or read. I was practically staring at the seat in front of me for like 9 hours? -___-
Was so horrible, I only took ONE toilet break, and stretched my legs ONCE, during that toilet break. Not that I couldn't move, It's just I didn't want to, felt so.. numb ):
No joke, don't fly Air Asia, it sucks. So what if it's cheap, I rather eat cereal for a month in London than have to suffer that whole shit all over again.
Thank goodness my parents didn't book a flight back during the Easter Holidays.
But thankfully I didn't think much on the plane, or else my mind would be wandering off about home and my family and friends back there :x The single thought was, HOW AM I GONNA COME BACK IN JUNE D: I don't ever want to sit Air Asia for such a long flight. Ma and pa, if you are reading this, please don't make me go through that again ):
Arriving in London was pretty chilly, through the border was a really long line before we took the overground train :x then later we took the underground tube which was pretty much what I have to familiarize myself with for the next18 months here :P Which was PRETTY exciting, minus the huge chunk of luggages we had to drag round with :/ Oh btw, CREDITS TO LING HONG AND HER SISTER LI CHUN FOR HELPING ME SO MUCH! (((: They really took care of me and helped me a LOT! Without them, I'd probably still be at the airport crying or cursing :/
Oh yea! And at some places, there were STAIRS. Oh stairs oh stairs, art thou a bitch.
THANKFULLY! People came to our rescue! Mainly big strong men :P OH I LOVE LONDON ALREADY! Was skyping with Sarah earlier and she was like, REALLY! In Malaysia, no one gives a fuck.
The sad truth.
THATS WHY I LOVE IT HERE YO! Minus the nose blocks and the sinus, I feel pretty good now!
THE NEXT DAY!
Me and Ling Hong woke up pretty late cause we were all tired :/ then at 12 we went to Tesco! And it was my first time walking in London (without lugging round a 30kg monstrosity) It was pretty near Ling Hong's apartment but the winds were pretty chilly :x But at least I had kinda thick clothing :P
Everything here is.. okay priced I guess.. I REGRET NOT LOOKING AT THE PRICES BACK IN MALAYSIA WHEN I WENT GROCERY SHOPPING! Not that I DONT look at them, I only know prices of food that I eat like the stuff I like or something, I don't really look at fruits or veges ): So when I look at the fruits I go @___@ so expensivemeh? when in truth, after skyping with my mum, she says its more or less the price so yea ): Cause usually when I have a craving for something, lets say fruit juice, I always ask my mum to buy it from the store so I don't really know the price ): Unless its like packet drinks,when i buy in 7-eleven then I'd know :/
After Tesco, we had a pretty good lunch! Ling Hong's sis cooked the meal and Ling Hong helped prepare so again, I was clueless so I stepped aside :/ We ate RICE! :D with some Japanese curry stew with vege and meat, It was pretty good! probably cause I was kinda hungry and I'm not picky when it comes to food when I'm in a foreign country (:
It was very tasty!! Compared to the crap they serve in Air Asia
Thats the Chicken Kiev. It sucks. The vegetables look like pieces of colored crap. And the chicken tasted like KFC, but worse.
HEY! I kinda see the resemblance, see that there's carrot, potato and broccoli in both pictures? Minus the level of suckiness on the 2nd one, its really an uncanny resemblance._.
Oh and I FINALLY called my host parent, whom I'm gonna be living with for 18 months! Felt kinda bad for not contacting her back in Malaysia cause I didn't know how to, even WITH the instructions given ):
I was so nervous to call, was planning this whole conversation like what to say and will she be mad at me for calling so late ): But when I called her she was SO FRIENDLY, oh my gosh you wouldn't believe how nice she sounded! I felt so so happy and welcomed (: (: She says she can't wait to see me! :D I know its just a curtousy to say that, but STILL! I felt so happy!! :D
Oh gosh I'm LOVING it here! Everyone's so nice, and friendly (: I know I shouldn't be so naive but I shouldn't be so negative either right! This year is gonna be awesome (: I just have to be open about it!
Like some of the foreign students who come here, if they complained bout the cold weather and the difference of culture and stuff, they'll only think of home and how much they want to go back (not that I don't WANT to go back). If they do that, they won't be open to new things and new adventures round em :/
So that's why I have set my mind to try love everything here in this new country, and I KNOW I'm gonna enjoy myself here (: And leading to that, I will try so very hard to study even harder this year and challenge myself to stay here even longer without burdening my parents so much (: I WOULD work if I could, but I can't -___- my stupid visa says "WORK PROHIBITED" ever so clearly on it ): So yea ):
So now it's almost 1am here in London at 9am back home (: And yea i do miss home and my family ): not to mention my super loving friends back home ): I love you guys so much, thanks for attending outings with me and helping me through (': I miss you guys so so much! But I'll try not to linger on that thought for long, or else I'd be super home sick and be depressed all the time :/ Especially my parents, thinking they're probably at their favorite coffee shop now with awesome curry mee D: AHH! the tortureee ): And my sister, now in school lah, but probably when she gets back, stuck to Youtube or 9gag. YOU HAVE LEARNED WELL SIS. :)
Okay! It's pretty late and Ling Hong already went to bed but I'm not that tired cause I slept at 8pm just now and woke up at 11 xD but STILL! I have to sleep cause I don't know whether it's my eyes trying to deceive me or are these words I'm typing in blue. MEH! Keep staring at the screen and I'm STILL not sure.
Well goodnight for now! And good morning Malaysians!! :DDD (I sound like a corny newscaster)
