The Days of Recovery

It really takes a lot of self discipline to make sure you blog, especially for me, where I want to remember every single day of my experience here in London.

And when I fell sick, all I could do with my laptop was to click here and there for a show to be played, and then, fall asleep in the midst of the show.

And when I am recovering, I got lazy.

Oh well, that's also because there is nothing to blog about the sick days. LOL

But I am all well now.

Just got off the phone with my mother and apparently, my little cousin misses me a lot. Wonder how long would that last!

Back on the updates.

On Friday, sister decided to have some quality time with me before she start her studying venture. So I was placed with the responsibility of finding a good restaurant with offers for dinner. And then, I also had to look at the timings for movies as well. In the end, whatever I researched did not come in handy because we changed the whole plan when she came back.

Instead of the place I found near Regent Street, we went to a Thai restaurant nearby our place, with the view of the Thames River. And after such a long time, I was served with hot yummy food.


The fried rice was freaking yummy! And the fried noodle really tasted like char keoy teow, just that it's a sweeter version of the one back home. Sister ordered a glass of wine while I ordered a Thai tea.


After dinner, we headed back home first to change my coat because the weather changed. It was getting cold and surely I would be freezing with the jacket I brought for dinner. When we came out, I asked sister if we could take a picture in front of the house, showing off the flat's name. Hence, the pointing from her. But, the label was way to high and I have very lousy skills so in the end, the picture turned out to be some crazy "drunk" girl taking photo with me. LOL. (she turns very red even though she had very little alcohol).

Headed to Leicester Square for a movie. I researched about the timings for Star Trek but we ended up watching X-Men. Cinemas back home are way nicer than the ones here. And they also have many advertisements before the movie. I still prefer GSC.

Because I had a sleepless night due to the stupid tea, I wanted to sleep in the next morning, which is the Saturday morning. But then, I had to get out of the house because of certain reasons. I was actually clueless about where should I head to. Looked online for some gardens or parks, or even markets. But in the end, I just walked around town. Which town, I surely do not know.

And all the shops were actually closed. On a Saturday afternoon. I knew offices would be quiet but even normal shops were closed. Weird. After walking about an hour, aimless, I decided to go to the small little park nearby my place. The park was right opposite the Thai restaurant we went the night before.

Sat down and read my book for about 3 hours. Felt the heat of the sun and also the cold breeze of the freaking strong wind. I wanted to read my book until 5:30 p.m. because the story was getting really interesting. But the wind was too cold that I had to leave for a warmer place. In the end, I went to Waitrose for grocery shopping aka my dinner ingredients shopping.

I bought Egg noodles and some pork meat with orange juice. Because I was about to cook my tomyum noodle.


This would officially be the first time I am cooking, all by myself, a meal for myself. While I was preparing, my sister's friend asked a lot of questions and even warned me not to get food poisoning before he left. Well, I am still alive now so the food should be alright!

My appetizer (food I was eating while waiting for the water to boil):


This small little bucket of oat biscuit actually saved me from hunger every now and then. Yummy!

And my meal: Tomyum egg noodle! And boy, British pork is not nice at all! It has some funny taste which I thought the meat was not cooked! I still have some in the fridge and guess that would be dinner tonight! By the way, the meal was good! Haha


It will not be Vern May without desert, what more when there is ice cream at home! For the past whole week, I did not touch the ice cream at all because I was sick. And yesterday, I couldn't refrain myself from eating it. Oh, yummy!



So right now, it's a Sunday morning with great weather. I'm guessing everyone in London would be so eager to run out of their house for the sun. I'm not too eager myself because I see sun everyday back home. LOL. But I'm really enjoying the cold breeze so might go for a small walk later.

I had so many thoughts this week but this post is getting lengthy. Shall keep it for another day then.

Oh, should I go home earlier? I'm thinking about August. And hopefully, that call would come and it would not be a disaster for me!
