19. a very new chapter

i finally got to update my blog after so many days..

Day 1

i arrived here in st mark & st john after 13 hours of flight and 6 hours on bus...it was quite a long journey but thank God we arrived safe and sound=)it was really a challenge dragging a 30 kg bag to my house..hee...but managed to do it somehow....good thing i don't have to carry it up flights of stairs though...

got settle down and unpacked all my things...walked around and explored part of the campus...didn't really know where we were going cause we had no idea where is where(me being poor in directions)...

had a gathering cum dinner with the seniors..finally got to meet them after contacting each other for so long..heheh...went for a campus tour in the dark with a few of the great and friendly seniors...can hardly see anything but got a very rough idea on where is where...will have to figure that out tomorrow...

slept rather early cause of jetlag...have to get used to the time difference...hehe...


Day 2

cooked our first meal today...fried rice for breakfast cum lunch...

started our orientation and there were a lot of talks...but it was very different from Malaysia as they are very particular with time..therefore they will stop when it is time instead of going on and on telling the same thing and wasting our precious time to eat or sleep..the weather here is pretty much like Cameron when it rains...chilly but fun..hehe...but it can get very chilly when the wind blows...some of the lecturers said that it is considered warm to them and that we still do not understand the meaning of cold yet...wonder how cold can it be when it is winter...

had a very wonderful lunch with the lecturers..lots of wonderful food..maybe cause i was feeling hungry all the time....i ate very big portion but it took only a few hours before my stomach starts its music again...gosh....had heavy breakfast but ate so much again for lunch...


Day 3

had bread with sardine for breakfast..and went for an official campus tour with steve...it was fun time....came back for lunch break but there was nothing to eat..felt so pathetic that i have to "beg" for food...lol..thanks uncle for your cupcake=)...it was really delicious...but it now sounded like any food is heaven to me...heheh..had another talk from the student union and came home to set up my wireless connection..heheh...finally i got to online after so many days...=)

just cause the line was good and all of us were able to access the internet, we had a conference on skype...felt so nonsense as we were so nearby but yet skype-ing each other...hehe...can't help it cause the far ones at home are sleeping soundly...heheh...so will have to wait for the right time to be able to talk with them online....

had a great and delicious dinner with the seniors in House 26...nice time meeting them as they just came back from Malaysia for a 2 month break..yummy yummy...=)


*************
just for information, i'm now staying with 3 other malaysian housemate...2 seniors (kak jah and kak ab)and another one my classmate from ipkb(farah)....everything is so far so good...will still be having my orientation...tomorrow we will have the chance to go visit Princetown in Dartmoor and Tavistock...

have not organised my photos yet...will upload some photos when i'm done doing it...feeling kinda lazy for that now...lol...

thanks again everyone for all your kind wishes...i'm doing great here...will continue to update my blog if i'm not too busy yet..heheh
