Wow..Today was really a day for fiesta!!! We went to Birmingham, which is a 20 minutes journey from Coventry by train... This was the first time I ate for so much, till my stomach felt painful..hahha..£5.99 per person..it's absolutely worth it....

Now, my cravings for Chinese dishes have gone...got a variety of food there...beef, chicken, sizchuan noodles, meat balls, fried rice, sausages,char siew, ice cream, chocolate cake, salad, fruits, coconut milk, red beans and so forth...I really couldn't take it but ate a lot..seized the food here and there...hahhaha...

Anyway, I enjoyed the time here while travelling with my best friends..so long I didn't spend such a happy moment with them already...That's was the main reason why I liked this journey, although we didn't manage to visit some of the historical places there like the others..Chatting and creating fun moments with them is much more important than the others...Yeah!!!!!!! :)

Today is the first day of winter here...Nonetheless, the snow hasn't come yet..maybe in December only then I can see how the snow looks like...There is one theory I couldn't understand about..Why the people here need to rewind their clocks (including me) one hour earlier? It started on 2.00am yesterday...Then I need to adjust my time again to 1.00am..Why???

The breeze is getting colder and colder..That is the sign of the becoming winter season. I went out this morning and finally bought my own printer...yeah...Next time, I wouldn't have to go to the campus earlier to get my printing done..

I still have not bought my winter jacket yet. Yesterday I found one, but it's £40 in price. I had to think twice when I saw the price tag. I'm afraid of buying the wrong one..huhu...

Today, I learned something negative, yet it's too undeniable to be trusted in our lives. Best friends are everywhere, but true friends are hard to find indeed...

A lot of changes happened here. Class is being shuffled randomly again to form new group members. There is a new grouping or 'gang' whenever it comes to group work. Old friends are no more clinging to each other. 'They' have their own partners or new groups. There are some close friends of mine, but I can sense that the distance between us is growing further apart everyday.

Still, I admired and saluted so much one of my boyfriends. He was one of my best friend here. However, he was the one who did not portray the personality of hypocrisy. He was a very honest and straightforward guy. He could survive on his own, I believe I could achieve that level too. Only time matters. Why I said "despair of humanity"? Because of the changes...relationship between friends..and that was the main reason why I want to be independent and brave enough to stand alone...

I did not want to talk about the incident on why I got this kind of 'negative' perspective..maybe it's not a bad thing at all....I learn...we learn........

However, I know that I am not alone each time... I know that God is with me, watching over me....

Today, I went to Leamington Spa right after I finished my individual tutorial. It's was half an hour journey from my university. My main purposes for this visit were:

-A part from travelling
-buying my winter jacket
-buying a printer

Unfortunately, only the first objective could be accomplished..the other two? I tried my very best to look for it, however, the ridiculous prices set me down. They were too expensive!!! Money-sucker I can said.....
For example, the winter jacket costs around £40 to £90, while a Canon printer can be £40, excluded from the ink cartridge and printer cables..oh my goodness....

Hopefully, there are someone who will be going to the car boot sale this weekend..I really want to get some cheap stuffs there......huhu

Today I learned something...the irony of friendliness..somehow, I realized that I was not mature enough in my way of thinking, in the sense of imagining the 'truth' and 'reason' that lied behind..

When someone is trying to be nice to you, it's not necessarily good.
When someone is trying to be nice to you, it might be the 'truth' that he/ she wants to cover up.
When someone is trying to be nice to you, he/ she might want to 'drag' you along to the club.
When someone is trying to be nice to you, it might be the 'guilt' that stems from the heart.
When someone is trying to be nice to you, he/ she might be the forgiveness seeker...

That's the irony here.....Nonetheless, always be optimistic in mind..it's much more better..only if you are too 'innocent' enough to be fooled..

Today was really an adventurous day for me!!!!!!! Stratford, here I come!!!! I could not imagine that I could GO and SEE for myself the beautiful and classical birthplace of William Shakespeare! The Elizabethan era, Sonnet 18, still remember??

7 landmarks of Stratford; Shakespeare Birthplace, The Royal Shakespeare Theatre (The Globe-Shakespeare's perfomances), Anne Hathaway's Cottage (Shakespeare's wife), Hall's Croft (Home of Suzanna, Shakespeare daughter), Nash's House (the place where Shakespeare died), Mary Arden's Farm and Holy Trinity Church ( Shakespeare's Graveyard is here!!!)... The only place that we missed out is the Mary Arden's Farm, as we didn't have much time to travel..The time we took to Anne Hathaway's Cottage was superb long...Luckily, we managed to catch the last bus back to Coventry at 6.15pm...Reached home at around 8.oo pm...

It's really a worth-to-it journey. The scenery and landscape there were extremely beautiful and full of uniqueness...really obsessed to it..

Alas, it's Friday already..It was a really exasperate week for me...Study 4 days per week, but free on Wednesday...However, there will be some individual tutorials on Wednesday... I really want to have a good rest.

The course subjects are getting tougher and higher level, particularly on Sociolinguistic and Second Language Acquisition...Owh...I did not like this..Even the phonology part drives me mad...

When it came to group work, I didn't like it..as I felt that I didn't contribute of that much brilliant and superb ideas to my group..There are some 'dominants' in my group who really score high in their way of thinking and pouring ideas..I felt like a bit left out...huhu...
Deep in my heart, I could only praying that I could reach that level as soon as possible...I am still learning, I know that..........................

10/10/09...so, today was the biggest day for my big brother! Happy graduation day, bro!!! Congratulations!!!

Unfortunately, I couldn't go to his convocation, as it was held on October...I believed that I could share his happiness if the convocation could be held on a bit earlier, as like other universities....but, what a luck.......

I still got my hotdog lip from yesterday onwards, haven't recover yet...I wonder why I was allergic to the Neutrogena lipbum...What was the 'illegal' stuff right there??
This was the first time I was allergic to something...

The lady doctor gave me two options, either apply vaseline or consume Piriton tablets..So, I bought the medicine and tried it on..It's getting a bit better now, but still not my normal lips..feeling weird and dry...

One thing I dislike here is the PLAIN WATER...It tasted WEIRD..so, actually I didn't drink much plain water right here because of its taste..I would love to drink plain water, however, the taste refrained me to do so..Hence, most probably I would mix some blackcurrant juice in it..(it helps me to get off my dizziness sometimes..)

Hmmm...I miss home so much...I can eat whatever I want, cook whatever recipe that stung in my mind...These few days, I couldn't manage my diet well..especially when I had to travel by bus to my university everyday..only yesterday i ate my first RICE dish here...really didn't have energy if I didn't eat rice for days...only ate maggies for the past few days..

Hyhh..each time I got into the bus, I felt dizzy several minutes later on...travelling sickness again..I really don't like the feeling..Feeling dizzy but have to travel again...For instance, today, my roommate and I forgot to get down on the correct pit stop..As a result, we had to walk far enough till we found our hostel...I had not eaten my lunch yet, that's why I got my gastric..damn painful...but still had to walk and walk with my gastric and dizziness before we reached the hostel...huhu...

So, right after I got into my room, I just lied down on my bed and wanna had a good rest..but the hunger+gastric led me to the kitchen and cooked some food to fill my stomach first, even though i was damn fatigue that day..........

Somehow, I figured out that it's hard to find a good buddy at your side all the times, especially the one who truly cares on your feelings and needs. Maybe I myself didn't portray as a good friend though.
I felt like crying...

What a tiring flight and procedures that I have went on...

The Heathrow airport here is really different from KLIA..It's huge, long and complicated (however some parts are systematic)...
For the first time, I took such a long journey...(11.55pm until 1.15pm on the next day, however the MAS services provided are excellent)
For the first time, I saw so many foreigners there...
For the first time, I need to adapt in such a cold country...( I'm so shock of the wind/ breeze there)
For the first time, I need to communicate to the white people ( some of them could be understood, some speaks really fast, and some I could only understand halfly...hyhhhh...)

I felt inferior since I arrived here. I admitted that I was not really that PRO in LISTENING to native white people...I felt scared and nervous..huhu...I tried my very best to get use of the environment and new life there...

Ok...so I would like to stop here fora while...continues on the next day. My shoulder felt damn tired after walked here and there...........

For my dear family and best friends,

Thank you so much for being my supporter all this while...Thank you so much for being honest to me, straightforward...thank you for correcting my mistakes...thank you for bearing my immature attitudes...thank you for taking me out...TQ....

Guess I wouldn't have so much time to update my blog after today...but anyway, I will miss you all!! Take care ok! Love you guys! :)
