English Tea is All About the Flowers
Sister did something very nice to me yesterday but I should not reveal it too explicitly here in order to protect her "name". Hehe, thanks for being to thoughtful and I hope it didn't bring much trouble. It wasn't boring! It was bonding session. =) Hugsss
We went for a tea say about 5 something in the evening.
Now, when she first came back to Malaysia earlier this month, we went to Gardens in One U, and had their special promotion menu - tea buffet. Each of us could order either tea or coffee and have various unlimited lousy cakes and scone. It was English style. She said we will be doing this a lot in London. True enough, we had tea again yesterday!
The place was lovely. The have many sections and the most particular and interesting section would be the toilet. Yes, the toilet. It's considered an open toilet but then you will have your privacy protected as well. Haha, confusing but true. To enter the toilet, you just have to walk up the stairs, and this, is not covered. Then, you will see a few capsules around. Now, that is where you pee or Bang Sai! How cute! I didn't dare to take photos but really, SO CUTE!
Back to English tea. One thing I am not worried about drinking English tea is because the tea is made from flowers. Oh wait, even normal Chinese tea is considered made from flower too right? Hmm. Oh well, at least English tea does not make me develop insomnia! That's the relief part. So I can go on drinking as much as I can, because the come in individual jag! And the small little cute sugar. Hmm, I feel jakun-ness in me!
And I still am not use to the flower tea taste. But it wasn't that bad. Maybe I should learn to love it and develop the "tai tai" lifestyle for my future! LOL.
We went shopping too. Entering a few shops reminded me of 2006's boxing day. Although the place was not as crowded as the previous visit, but there was still sale and there was still lots of people. Who says economy is very bad in London?
Haha, not for me to judge though.
Am beginning to accept certain thought I have to adapt to. Being me, it's hard. But I guess I have to learn.
Random.
So, what did I do the whole day today? I was lazing around the house enjoying my newly found show. Then, I cleaned the house. Or shall I say I attempted to clean the house? It seemed a bit tidier but nothing much can be done still because I have no idea which stuff goes where. Sigh.
Again. Random.
Have I ever mention about the scary postman here? Everyday, if there is mail for the home, I will get frightened at least once when the post man delivers the mails. The door has this small little space for letters to come in and post man just have to push it in GENTLY without making so much noise. Nope, doesn't happen here. The post man simply delivers the mails as if he was about to tear down the whole door. And really, everytime he stops by, I thought somebody is trying to break in! So good for a heard work out huh? Lol.
Wonder how are parents coping back home. All their children are away at the moment. So carm. =)
Oh, it's 30th! Family portrait is ready! And tomorrow is labour day right? Hmm.
Happy Labour Day people working back home!

The Blister and The Weather
So yesterday, I decided that I should get out of the house. After finishing the chores at home and after lunch, I went out.
You see, my sister's house has many interesting roads around that I have yet to see because the bus routes we used will stop right in front of the house. If we were to continue sitting on the bus, there will be another whole area on the other side of the town. So I happily headed down that road, not knowing where it will lead me to. Oh, the bus says it will head towards Wapping.
As I walked, I felt my blister pain I got because of the basketball game. My socks were too short. I took the risk and forgot that the blisters have not healed yet. Sat down on some random chair and put some plasters on.
Then, I passed by a kindergarden. Since I arrived, and even when I came here 2 years ago, I have never come across any school at all. I could hear the kids screaming and laughing. I could even hear music! But they were all outside at the playground. It was hardly visible for me to see the whole school but at least, I found a school!
Then, I walked down further, not knowing which direction I should head to. This is tough. Directionless again. But then, I knew I was in those kind of neighborhood. Out of town. The neighborhood that I wouldn't be able to find when I am in London town. And, I managed to see the name of that neighborhood. Yeap, it was the Wapping Neighborhood.
They have small little shops around, groceries, laundries. I even passed by a Hospital Center. This is some scene that London town does not have. It is so quiet. And I think this is the kind of place where everyone in the neighborhood knows everyone because some guy just randomly stopped at a shop and started chatting with the shop keeper. I must have been an alien there and they must be wondering who the heck I am. That was when I started to feel uneasy. I felt that I have to get out of this place FAST!.
And, I think I got lost for a while. The place really was quiet. Not many people around to roughly guess which direction I should go. So, I depended on my sense of direction. And luckily, I found my familiar territory.
Decided to just head towards the garden by the River Thames so that I can sit down and see the view and read my book. But my plasters were not useful anymore and I was bleeding. So I headed home first to change to a longer pair of socks. I even changed my jacket because the jacket I took from my sister's closet was a bit too warm for me.
Destination two was easy for me because I found this place last week. The difference compare to last week was that, the place was empty. Hmm, because there was no sun? Haha, see, the obsession for sun for people in London! LOL
So I sat there, looking at Tower Bridge and the ships around. Hmm, my plan was to hang around until dinner time. But I couldn't. It was getting colder. And I don't see the fun in staying out here reading my book when I can actually do it at home, comfortably.
So, I headed home.
I am thinking twice about staying here for 5 months. Will I last? Hmm, shall wait and see.
Oh, I passed by this duckling family! so CUTEEEE...

Flashing Back: I Have Graduated!
I got my results early January and the convocation was dated on 19th April.
So, on 1st April, a few of us gathered in Help to collect our gown and also, to catch up with each other. Very fortunately, we were given the chance to appear in either newspaper, broshure or any promotional items for Help's Foundation Program.
Why us? Simply because we were their white rats, being the first ever batch of the foundation program to graduate from Help University College.
Yeap, I did appear in Star Newspaper on 19th April. It was a full page with our achievements! Because it was rather hectic for me after 19th, I didn't have the chance to take a picture of it to show my overseas friends! Haha. Maybe next time then.
So, back to the topic, we took many pictures together with the CEO and president of Help as well as the Director of Help's Foundation Program. I don't have those pictures though. But I have plenty with my girls.
Next occasion would be the photo shoot with my family. Boy we had to go through so much trouble thinking how to color coordinate our shirts and dressing. We had to do our own make ups too! But all went well. 30th April is coming soon. And the portraits will be ready.
The Graduation day: 19th April 2009. I made sure I take as many photos as I can with my family because looking through both my sister's and brother's convocation album, they don't seem to have many. But in the end, the important BOY of the house was missing. My brother did not make it!
(Hmm, mummy don't really like to take photos. Can't seem to find just her with me.)
The excitement for us kinda died down on the day itself. Maybe because there were only 4 of us from the our gang, graduating together.
But, some people still came to congratulate us. Thanks Belle, Ming Zi and Mike for coming.
Because they came, we gave them a chance to feel what is it like to be a graduand! LOL. Next year will come soon!!!!!
Congratulations, Class of 2009, Help University College!

It's Gloomy Today!
Since I arrived, there was never a day when the sun did not shine brightly.
Today, it seemed to be gloomy. Coincidentally, I am a bit down too. But I am very sure it is not because of the weather. I am missing my friends dearly. And all the uncertainties are hunting my again. And, it had to be so FREAKING COLD NOW as I type.
Seeing my sister hanging out with her friends made me miss my times with my friends back in Malaysia.
***
Friday was the first time I went out of my comfortable hiding place aka my sister's place. It was a really good idea for her to invite me to have lunch with her. Because, it simply "forced" me to leave the house.
In Malaysia, and as Malaysian, we stay away from the sun. I remember many years back, when we played basketball, we usually chose the shaded side of the court. When we walk around SS2, we avoid the sun by walking inside the walk way.
BUT, in London, that seemed to be wrong. People are just obsessed over the sun. And it amuses me so much. Let me try a scenario..... When you pass by Dataran Merdeka, of course it would be empty, regardless of the weather. If London has such area, I am very sure that "Dataran Merdeka" will be filled with people, as many as those we see in concerts (maybe not that many), when the sun shines brightly. That's not the main point!! These people are people wearing coats and full suites. Haha. Now that, we can never see in Malaysia.
I was so tempted to take a picture of these people sitting under the sun for lunch but it would be rather weird. But I had the opportunity to snap the location the next day. Of course, it's a Saturday, surely the place will be empty.
So, imagine those people, gathering around this area having their lunch. Now, that is hilarious.
My sister's office - Deloitte.
I played basketball on Saturday! After such a long long time.
Finally met my sister's friends. She has been telling me about this routine of hers every Saturday where she hangs out with this bunch of people and play basketball. To be honest, I was really worried and scared. Thank God, I managed to drag myself there and walked out of my comfort zone. Very nice people indeed. I even had dinner with them that night. And my sister left me after dinner for her own party where I was trapped in between going home or joining the rest in their ice-cream session.
I was really firm in going home actually. Felt weird without my sister there. But, I was once again "forced" to join in because a very kind friend of hers offered to send me home, being worried I will lose my way, especially when it is dark already. If I insist on going home, wouldn't it be mean to the kind guy who wishes to join his friends? And, I'm glad I went.
I guess, just Saturday itself, I did many things I do not usually do. The learning process actually starts with all the minor little things. It's scary, but comforting at the same time. At least I'm learning.
Yesterday (Sunday), there was this London Marathon going on. Apparently it was a huge event. Nope, I did not go for it even though it was just outside because it was simply so packed with people. Even pasar malam makes me so uncomfortable, what more this huge crowd?
At night, after the crowd dispersed, I went out with my sister and her friend.
We walked from Tower Hills all the way to London Eye. Hmm, I didn't count the time we took but it was surely a long and tiring walk, considering the fact that the journey led us to a very late dinner (9 p.m.).
At least now I know where and how to walk around these familiar places. =)
Can you believe it was already 8 something as we take this picture? The picture came out less bright compared to the real condition. Long long London days.
It's still very gloomy outside. But I am feeling better now. Plumber came and left. So, time to clean up the house. Till then.....

The Next Morning
It's only my second morning here and I'm a bit worried already. Not because I'm bored or anything, it's simply because I seem to be developing the habit called LAZINESS.
2 days in a row I feel sleepy at 10 at night. 2 days in a row I waked up the same time as my sister - 6-ish a.m. It might be jetlag but I don't sleep until 1 p.m. back in Malaysia.
I'm suppose to be starting my research about exploring London already. But nope, I have not. I am that lazy. But maybe it's just my habit that I have to allocate a long good time for all this kind of task. And yesterday, because I was suppose to meet my sister in the evening, so I kinda feel a the time is a bit hanging. And today, I might be meeting her for lunch. Hence, I decided not to clean the house or do any kind of research. Are all this excuses? Gosh, I just love staying in the house the whole day. But, part of me want to go out. I have to force myself!
The sun is really bright and hot today. I can actually feel the heat. But then, it's still freaking cold. My hands are freezing actually. And I have to have my toes covered and protected at all times. Hot heat and cold wind. This is crazy!
At least I still did something I planned, making breakfast for the sisteR! Today, I made her wafer. Haha, just have to toast it actually. But at least I am functioning!
Yesterday, went for some grocery shopping. And finally, there is Ben & Jerry's in the freezer waiting for me! Well, there nothing different with the supermarket here compared to home. Just more Ang Mohs. Haha.
And I seem to be talking to people more online when I am here. Being away does have some advantages at times. Brings people closer. I hope I can maintain that. I really do.
Now, off to make my own breakfast!

The Very First Morning
I did not have any jetlag. Hmm, maybe I did. I was sleepy when it was only 10 p.m. here (Malaysia is already 4 a.m.).
For the first time, I did not bathe, wash my face, nor did I brush my teeth before I sleep. I fell asleep on the couch in the living room while waiting for sister to come home. She had to go back to the office a while and only came back about midnight. When she came back, she told me to go to bed and I blindly followed her instructions, without even thinkin about all the hygience matters. I was that tired and sleepy. And so was she!
So, I managed to wake up early today, about 8 a.m. Sister had to go college for the day. So i made sure I wake up to prepare her breakfast and also send her off (one of my goals!). While she was preparing, I went out to the balcony to see the morning view.
It is such a beautiful day. Saw a few father in thier coat, holding their daughter's hand, heading out of thier house. Sister said I am very lucky because the sun is visible (they seldom get to see the sun here, apparenlty). Weather is good at the moment. Not too cold except for night time and also when in the bathroom. =)
Walked sister out of the neighbourhood. I still haven't brush teeth nor bathe yet since the night before. So, I didn't walk her till the tube station. Weird to be so dirty!
The place I am staying is really pretty and beautiful. I'm not really sure how to describe it but surely, it's something different from home. Hopefully the pictures can tell the story.
Am wondering how to handle the house now. Things are everyone. Kinda messy. But have to learn to deal with it because there is really lack of space to put everything in order.
So, what shall I have for lunch? Still full from my breakfast. Maybe a bit later, I shall go out and walk around while waiting for sis. Will see.

The Long Waited Trip
I have arrived in London about an hour ago. It's 3:45 in the morning now in Malaysia but it's only 7:45 in the evening here in London. Hopefully I won't get any jetlag.
The flight was rather boring. No entertainment. Nothing. But I had my laptop and my sister had hers. So we only had maximum of 4 hours of entertainment, out of 13 hours!
Tried really hard to sleep. Managed to but the hours that we were awake were dreadful! Boring. Sien. But overall, the flight was alright. If my memory does not fail me, the space in Air Asia was a bit bigger compared to MAS.
As expected, immigration was not very smooth. I could have been denied entry to London because I am staying for 5 months. They are worried that I would be a burden to the country, or I am actually trying to be illegal here. But, thank God I prayed hard and the nice person allowed me in!
Because of the incident, I begun thinking again. Should I even stay that long? This question has been bothering me for quite some time. And now, sitting here by the window at my sister's place, I'm really beginning to love it here. Shall think about it again.
So here am I. All ready for a new adventure.

family photos
it has been such a long time since our family had a complete family photo. and this time, being in Bali, we tried our best to take as many photos as we can, as a family.
can't wait to see our family portrait taken in the studio. too bad i won't have the opportunity to see it. it will only be ready on 30th! so i will have to wait until October.
and during my convo on Sunday, brother bock might not be able to attend. another opportunity wasted. Haih.....
just a week more! hmm, don't really feel the excitement yet....
