The sun is rising.. After a dark quiet night, when everything is resting, and the only things you hear are the sounds of crickets, the hooting of an owl, the sudden cry of a young innocent child. The quietness increases its silence when the night gets older. But the sun is rising. The only time when everything wakes up. The silence is finally broken. A new day is awakening. The sun is beginning to shine again...
I get to go back! Woo-hoo!! How good can things get?? After all the things I've gone through in just within 3 months, everything is starting to get better: my studies, my social life, and this.. I admit I really miss going back home, where the first person I see is my mother, or maybe my relatives or family. I've realised how important my family is, how much I value them to my other priorities in life. I can't wait to go back.
Well, as you can see, I'm happy today. Even though I skipped a 2-hour lecture this morning, I don't really care.
The past 3 days, I've been spending time with Wen Ching in Stratford. By far, those 3 days were the best 3 days since I've come to England. Her housemates were so welcoming, the house was so cosy, and the bed was so comfortable! (Don't mind me.. haha)
After my test on Friday (ended at 4pm), I packed my bag, and met up with her straight. She was in the Music Centre then. My packing took quite a while, and her bus leaves at 4.30pm, so not long, we ran to the shuttle bus. (I had to do this cuz it won't cost me anything to travel there. hehe..) It didn't take a very long time to get there. On that night itself, her housemate, a guy from HK who's a really good cook in the 'family', made a really nice dinner. I complimented his food, it seriously was good! Later on, at about 11pm, we were in his room, drinking an Australian red wine (which tasted really bitter, not nice at all), and then some lemon flavoured vodka. We had snacks, like Thai Chilli flavoured chips that I got in Morrisons (we went there before we went home) before I set into their household. We had chats till about 1+am. I jumped into bed, and fell asleep in an instant. (Wen Ching told me I was snoring that night.. Haha! Guess I was too tired on that night... hehe)
On Saturday, we woke up at about 11am. The day was for Ching and I to go shopping around the town. For such a small town, the shopping experience is already enough for me. I got (finally) a pair of really simple (but nice) boots from Clarks. Damn are they comfortable (but for a high price after conversion)! Considering the many uses of these boots, I think they're really worth it. And on this day, I was trying to find stuff that I can bring back home, but I ended up getting chocolates and biscuits instead. The things there were too expensive. I thought to myself that I should get souveniers next time I get back instead of this time. Touching on food, we had lunch at McD. Ching knew someone who is working there, and she offered us to order something that needs to be made (so that it needs to be paid) and gave us stuff that was on show for free. OMG... We had 2 burgers, one 4-piece nuggets, 2 fries, one hot chocolate and a sandwich (costs 2.99) for just RM 21!! That was SO worth it! Haha...!! For dinner, we cooked noodles at home, but it was just alright... Ching didn't know how to make proper ones... Haha! (kidding!)
On Sunday, I had lunch at a Chinese restaurant. The waitress is SO LCLY. She's a Chinese, and after we spoke to her in cantonese, she still spoke to us in a (fake) British accent, which disgusted me so much. The food wasn't that nice AT ALL, but at least we had a chance to eat some tofu (which can't be found here, and even if you can, it costs a bomb). Oh well. Then we went to Starbucks to get ourselves a nice cup of hot chocolate and some goodies to eat (and they were really good too!). After paying for it, we had to leave straight to the train station. The train was already waiting there till it departs at 4pm. At that very instant, I didn't want to leave, because I had so much fun, and it felt to comfortable living in that house, and all her housemates treated me so well, like a well-honoured guest. I appreciated all the things they did for me those few days.
