The beginning

Posted in
Hi guys.

I have now finally settled down in the UK. Starting to get used to the weather, in the process of learning to understand their very british-ish accent and stuffs like that. Anyway, back to the day i left malaysia.

Was pretty surprised that Meng Yue, Yuan Ruh and Kitloong went to the airport to say goodbye. Didn't expect them to do so. Thanks ppl! Anyway... we had my last McD in Malaysia at the airport, ate mooncakes, and i went down the escalator ALONE. I have to mention the walk down. All your friends and family were up there looking at you, and you know that they cant come in to help you when you have problems, and knowing that's where the journey starts and you are going alone, all of this makes it pretty scary and emotion weld up in me.

Fastforward it to the day i reach Warwick. After the DAMN looooooooong flight, i reached Heathrow, and that's when i start to get lost. Campus is really big. Having been driving for most of my time in M'sia, the soles of my feet start to get really hurt in the first day itself because of all the walking i had to do. People here are really different from us. They can be brilliant in the morning, and get really drunk and lost at night. I have flatmates trying to climb into the cupboard under the sink after a cuppa of drinks at one night and going for a math test the next morning! Crazie.

It's really nice for people who's working and spending here. Everything's so cheap! 3 pounds for a Mcd set meal. UNFORTUNATELY, we are not locals. So times it by 7, that's 21 ringgit.
Bad news.

The people here are quite friendly, but most of the times i just couldnt understand some of their british accent that i really dont know how to join in. Ouch.

It's 12 am. Gotta rest. Coventry tomorrow. Till the next!
