Arriving London

This is my 1st time writing a blog. Ive never written in a blog b4, never thought of it at all actly. Coz I always wonder where do these ppl get the time to write about what happen every single day?hmmm...well since I am continuing my studies in London now, one of my best frens, Faizal kept on asking me to start writing a blog. He said that i should write my experiences here n also he wants 2 know wuts goin on n keep up wit me. So, here goes..........(was that too long 4 an intro...?) ;p

Arrived at Heathrow London Airport at 5.20am on 17th Sept 2009. It was a 12+ hr flight! my ass was hurting dy 4 sitting 4 too long..haha..Requested 4 an aisle seat, but when i got 2 it there was this mat saleh couple who asked me if they could switch places coz the guy was having stomach probs n afraid that he would hv 2 go 2 th toilet every once in a while (cirit birit pulak mat saleh ni), "Do u mind?" they said. So i juz said, "not at all" n ended up sitting by th window. I slept most of th time since i was bz packing the whole nite b4 n had no sleep! ade la gak tgk some vidz like the "Micheal Jackson:Unmasked" n listened to kelly clarkson n mliey cyrus' albums~
(dont wanna talk about what happened at th airport.Its too sad~ let it just be between me n the ppl who came) =)

So at the airport,managed to meet up wit other malaysians going to Middlesex Uni who were in the same flight.None of em are malay, n all doing undergrad studies at a diff campus than mine(tegolek!). Yg buat lame nye is going thru immigration, ramai sgt students n diorg check each one punye documents.Me wit my big laptop bag,hand luggage n handbag dah x larat dah ni.Smp2 je we looked for the ppl wit th Middlesex Uni lollipop sign.Found them! they were excited 2 meet us! siap tanye nk air ke x.. i got 1 mineral water..then we waited 4 the others 2 come,meaning ppl arriving from other countries. We didnt wait that long,i think they were from hong kong ke china..then diorg bwk us g kt bus then off we were!!Manage 2 make a few phone calls in the bus to my loved ones 2 tell them I've arrived safely. =)

I was the only 1 who they dropped off at trent park.Smp2 je diorg welcome me n helped to bring in my stuff.I checked in,got wutever papers/info they gave me then this student ambassador named Chloe brought me up 2 my room.My room is at the East wing, 1st floor, no E128.The room is AWESOME! pretty big, with a sink,mirror,big table,shelves n closet.The kitchen,small but compact.ade 3 fridge,2 freezer.BESAR plak tu.The bathroom=HEAVEN! mcm hotel pon ade. I heard later they juz re-did it so 2 yg lawa tu.everything in there is new.3 showers,2 toilets,1 sink. In my room on the table they gave me a lil box filled with almost everything! like a lil 'student kit' they call it.There were even a bottle of orange juice,a thumbdrive,toothpaste,moisturiser,tissue,chocs,soap,tea,coffee,etc.On the table were also an internet cable n a calender.Semua bende la diorg bg.I was impressed!The only thing tegolek about 2day is that I found there were few things wrong about my room.Cold water at my sink is not working and I had no light.It looks as though it was smashed or sumtin coz i found lil pieces off glass on my bed n carpet! I realized pon coz it went into my hand! so i went down n told them bout it.I even asked them 2 vacum coz there were glass everywhere.They said this was all coz they had contractors in 2 renovate n stuff thats y everyhing huru hara skit.Besides that, i went 2 get my student starter pack which again had all infos inside in order 2 get started including a sim card!its impossible 2 not know anything when they give u EVERYTHING! Im so glad i chose this uni.haha!The weather is also cold n am lovin it! n the scenery,oh so cantek!Ptg skit they took us 2 southgate, which is 1 tube stop away, to ASDA since thats the nearest big supermarket n tgk2 kedai2 around there(banks,mobile phone shops,mcD).I didnt manage 2 get a lot but i did get some necessary stuff.Surprisingly ade byk HALAL stuff there! HEAVEN!! frozen stuff n everything..hehe..definitely goin bck there!The student union bar is juz outside my window n I got a mkn voucher so i went down 2 see wuts there 2 eat! Since I cant eat the meat here, I ate everythin vegetarian.

2nd day.Ikut schedule mmg full! pg2 dah g dgr talk.Psl safety,career,health,etc.Met a few new frens,some malaysians some not.After that went 2 th library 2 enrol then straight buat student ID card.After that ade talk lg skit.This time the fireman, police n insurance ppl all ade.The police gave us a marker 4 us 2 label our stuff.They said it will only appear under the blue light! cool huh?Also a key alarm and a survival guide.Diorg ni bagus gile,semua bende bg.Siap dpt Middlesex Uni sling bag dlm ade buku 'study skills handbook' yg sgt tebal OK! That nite we juz had a lil dinner+party at the bar where they had a lucky draw where ppl won champagne bottles,iPods n laptops! I didnt win anything tho. ;p

3rd day.A bus picked us up n we went straight 2 central london.We had a tour of central london where there was a lady in front guiding us on wut we saw along the way.Its was very nice! We went over london bridge n everything! We stopped at convent garden where we all walked around by ourselves.There were so many ppl! Also so many shops. Ramai tourists around. Ade la gk few ppl performing sini sane buat mcm2 tgh2 jln n everyone was watching them perform all around n at the end semorg donate bg duit.Ade mcm market gk there jual mcm2 bende, x terkata! definitely a place 2 go if ure here!

4th day. Its our trip 2 Brighton 2day! It was a longggg 2hr drive there. Smp tertido2 smrg dlm bus. Smp sane sejuk gile!! it was at th sea. sgt chantekkk! sejuk2 tu ade gk org swim! x paham i. ade pier which goes out 2 the sea..kt dlm tu ade arcade,restaurants,shops n a playground at the end.I walked around there 4 awhile then a few frens ajak g mkn.So we went jln2 roun the shops there.Byk jugak kedai kt situ! we walked until we didnt realise that we went that far. Nasib diorg bg map.I found an 'everything 1 pound' shop! so i bought a lot fr there.Things like tissue,sugar,cereal,soup,toothpaste,etc.All juz 1 pound! Then i went 2 Primark since around my place there werent any.I bought 2 boots! a few warm clothing n a mug. Imagine bape byk brg i was bringing with me nk naik bus blk! hahahaha....I almost miss the bus since i was carrying so many things but so far away fr th bus stop! but at the end, puas ati!...

5th day. Im free 2day,theres nothing scheduled 4 2day. So juz woke up n spent time web-caming wit qush. =) talked a bit wit shz. ptg skit i went 2 ASDA 2 do a lil shopping. This time really shopping! had 2 get everything on my list kalau bole n all on my own sweet time. This is the 1st time im going out on my own. Learning 2 ride the tube 2 southgate n taking my time 2 look at the shops there. Bought so much at ASDA smp x larat nk bwk! DUNGU gk i ni...but then i didnt expect 2 buy so much pon. wit all th pinggan mangkuk,flask,hanger,tupperware,rug,baldi,etc. N also i bought some frozen halal food. mcm2 ade,nugget,ayam goreng,sausage,burger,samosa. hehe~ nk blk tu YA ALLAH! dah la byk,berat plak tu...nk jln smp tube station ade la gk cam dr Mcd sec3 smp umah i jauh die. I think i stopped like 5 times kot 2 re-gain strength n juz praying that nothing falls n break! my fingers all dah mati kot coz darah x jln! hahahha....but i did everything very slowly..took my time...1 step at a time..ade la gk org tlg2 skit2..bukakkan barrier n stuff..finally smp jugak!
