Life 2

Random thought of the day ( I m not seok) Quote of the day ? nts is doesnt blog liao la wat for bother???





Right..


Happy Birthday to "Kowa Xin Ying" last last last last friday i think. Nice surname.


A Singaporean, doing medicine, study A level in (dunno how to spell) ladies college.. yay did edexcel board, wat else to say ? New friend from Imperial!




Me, Melissa Chua, Xin Ying, Ke Lun and Jiun Siang `end`









LifE goes on as usual. Now London doesnt look any special to me... Weather cold warm cold warm. Sometimes sunny sometimes rainy. Lectures, maths alot, computing and electric engineering like shit, medical science the only subject can slack. Weekdays, try not to spend 1 pound and weekend can spend. Lets show you all some example of my spending a week:




Oct 21- 28


  • Groceries 9.46

  • Shared cooking for a week 20.00

  • Dinner on friday 6.00 pounds a meal

  • Dinner Sat 10.50

  • Bus 1.00


total= 46.96 .......yea tats basically wat i spend and planning to reduce it . Note all currency is in GBP.



Weeks passed through fast...Weekdays wake up,breakfast. go class, lunch break 2 hours cook wash up, class again. Evening come back rest a while, cook, wash up, talk - room work study online, sleep. Then weekend, no need to sleep; have fun. Weekdays again ....


Then u can say my life = a function of time = periodic (coz its repetitive).


Let life, L=f(t)=sin(t), try to change my life with respect to time: f ' (t)= cos(t)

change it again f " (t) = -sin(t)

change third time f ''' (t) = -cos(t), change it once more f '''' (t)= sin(t)= f(t)= L ... thats my same life again.

this implies no matter how time changes, my life is still the same... omg tedious... haha









Even more random pictures aroud London.




Seniors partttttttty......!!!!!!!

Yes, 1st time seniors invite us to their house to have a party. Party means drink alcohol. Any party without alcohol here is not defined as a party. Any alcohol that is more juice and water is not regard as alcoholic. So our party = alcohol, lets just say our seniours invited us to have a night to taste all different alcohols ( strong ones included) that u cant afford it all in once in a night in malaysia. Its drink all u can.

So we reach the apartment, hell lot of ppl, want to walk in also hard, and oh one of the seniors recognised us, 1st thing is not inviting us in.. He went away a while, come back: " Nah, drink 1st" (handing out 1 bottle of carlsberg beer). So I took and tought that was it and we will have a long chatting night. When we reach the kitchen, my frens who were not holding any drinks were given a cup which they filled with black coke like liquid. Oo just some johnny walker and coke.

Ok finished my bottle and put on table. Now hand empty, so wan to try some cool cocktails they've made, and I took a small shot cup, pour some and drink some.Then pour the other flavour and drink some. Another senior saw me,- " Hey y r u not drinking? take tis take tis" (another bottle of carlsberg beer) "eh tis is my 2nd 1 liao" ... "WAT ? 2nd only?? omg. .. take somemore!" . So ended up 1 hand holding carlsberg bottle 1 hand holding a cup of coke + alot of johnny walker. Slowly drink, then finish liao.

Tis time, u can c everybody face turns red, and u noe the 'high' is in everbody. Now hand hold empty cup, see watever, DRinK !! ppl c ur cup empty, pour.. ... until all the ready mixed cocktail finished. But the whole table is wif hell lots of johnny walker ,swing, vodka, wine, orange juice, coke, apple wine, raspberry vodka etc .... wat to do next ?watever we see, we grab, and pour into the cups and drink, see ppl's cup empty, just pour. When u see anybody facing u, shout : DRINK LAH !!

Then there was tis fren of mine guy, who tried not to drink at all. Haha. Got forced to drink shots of vodka, ppl just shouting :"f*cker, y u dont drink?" and hold his mouth, pour. haha.

However, 1.5 - 2 hours later, everybody was too dizzy to stand up. I been to toilet 2 times urinated damn lots of water and alcohol. Bad feeling starts to come. 1st feel dizzy, some ppl KO on the bed or floor. Some talked like mad, some rock the room with music. One of my friend, want to vomit liao. Some dizzy too and try to hold him upright and to the window. Aww... bluer bluer ... things flew out of the window. 20 mins more, I feel more and more uneasy, although drank alot of water. Dont feel like going to the toilet, and I know sth was wrong. 5 more mins, tak tahan... walked towards the window, cough cough, *** ****** *** oops I vomitted my 10 pounds dinner out of the window. Straight away, a girl push me aside, and she too vomitted even more... eww... lol
3am. Ok or not brudders? At last we carried 2 of our quite drunk frens to walk back to the halls. 30 mins back le.. we managed it. Not a bad experience.



Yo! Lets get high...

Life

Ah now i've finally finally found a way to upload pics from my hp. (vista SuckS!)
So let me tell you more stories. Once upon a time, on 4th of oct, I went to a boat party on Thames River. It costs, 15 pounds ....=.=" thats the only trip i went ,where they have so many, and seriously cost more than that. Thats quite a big river la, probably the biggest river i seen. Y ? because the 1st river that is not in malaysia that i ever see. Oh ya, our boat docked beside the bank that you can see London eye ! ( u noe the place rise of the silver surfer was filmed)
Its rather long ago, where i dont remember much details of it, but its a nice and enjoyable trip( but not fun coz they all drink and dance on the dance floor and we chat only) Drinks are only free for the 1st cup whether u choose beer - 1 can or 1 small ( really damn fu**ing small) cup of orange juice. And yes we choose OraNge juice! The food? Not much.. just got some smoke salmon wrapping tuna and mayonese, some sandwiches and some sushies.( no unagi, no ebikko, no ebi ten, nth.. got crap!) Imagine we had the party on thursday le, and of course we have class the next day. They all r like dat 1, those medics have dinner on 9 pm till 4 am where classes start 9 am the next morning. Then there was a loop party for malaysian only at 9-10pm on a wed night. Wats wrong wif them ? they wan promote fishing activities!



London Eye !
Me & Wayne, my taiwan friend
Me & Kee Siang(malaysian:-studied in oxford for A level)sounds very geng haha ...
London bridge is falling down falling down falling down.Note: "tis is not London Bridge,becoz it fell down!" Haha, no la tis is seriously not London Bridge, duno wat name it is liao. The real london bridge just like normal bridge u can find in malaysia, nothing special so didnt take a pic of that,coz i only realise tat tat is the london bridge after our boat passed it.

Same as above ^

Ahh... the furthest I went away from my place- London zone 1 is London Zone 5 ! Went to visit my dad's friend with my dad. And I found a place just like home (Malaysia). This place the shopping centre its like selayang mall nia, old old... small. haha mayb smaller. Then you see alot of malay and those ppl who look like those burmese and vietnamese. Surely NASI lemak !! 5 pounds anyone??! Sold by 2 malays. And alot of ppl who seriously look like malaysian.

Look at those pics below, dont be surprise, it is taken in London, Edgware (zone 5). What ?they sell maggi, milo, condensed milk, bihun. bla bla there. Some u can c wat penang address there.

(Somehow it reminds me that the piece of pastry/dessert/dunno wat u called, that I ate on Emirates plane is made and package at pastry pro, taman bukit maluri, kepong, 52100 kl !! Its the shop that zk everyday go there buy flour for his mom to make muffins.)




Maggi! c their price ! =.=" RM 8.40 each packet
Yay! Can make teh tarik liao and milo kao kao.

Nasi Lemak stall.eh, haven got a pic of car u cant find in malaysia. But ho I found tis le, ur favourite car !! Its really rare here, and got 1 "L" sticker there.

I found some pork bones in Cina town... And made ABC soup ! Nice !

Imperial college is certainly crouching tiger hidden dragon. Alot of talented ppl. And alot of really smart until cant describe asses (imagine got ppl claim themselves as nerd: "yes, I am a nerd" omg omg).....

All of my friend (guys) plays piano at least grade 5 le, not to mention most of them 8. Then ... finally i heard the song "secret" played live on piano, and also some ff songs and magna carta ones. Guitar, got ppl got grade 6 le, its a gal somemore. But haha, still cant find a person more geng than me, if not I go bai them as sifu.

quote by me : Cooking is such a nice art, U all must learn. Cook and eat wat u cooked is a pleasure! And of course, a library and knowledge of cooking is out there.

Park














Although I will stay here for 9 more months ..... Today its the 1st time I went to visit Hyde Park, aih consider like some tour la.. Anyway Hyde Park is largest park in London.











What I have to say?? Beautiful. scenic view, nice landscaping.. Yea 1st time been to park so nice !. Imagine.. I might be playing football here for some years.. with all these green flat nice and not muddy grassland. Cool right ?









For your info its easy to get lost in the park and you will take hours before able to walk out. The shortest path to cut through the park takes 30min for a fast walker.



Normally, squirrel and pigeons are commonly found in Malaysia, but who can take a pic of a squirrel back in Malaysia (note the brown 1 which run damn fast) I say you pro. To take a pic of the cute fat grey squirrel here.. 3 year old child also can do it. Those pigeon and squirrels arent scared of human.. u can get to touch them if u con them by pretending u got food for them...(but after a while they will just walk away and wont bird u la ) Pigeons also, u need to swing ur leg to shooo them away when they are blocking ur way.




Royal Albert Hall - the hall once Siti Nurhaliza got perform in it 1 .

Nah.. Since today I m holding a camera, so sun bian (conviniently) take a pic of this car.. that can be seen near my halls and college very common 1. Oh its a ferrari.. any1 seen this model before in Kepong? Malaysia ?( behind actually is a porshe 4wheel )

College


Imperial College - My college!




Its been 10 days since I was away from Malaysia. So I should have something to talk about London de.




Although this place rain alot, the humidity here is rather low. 1st week,my lips dried and got some coaggulated blood on it. You wont like this feeling. The sun here, is with high intensity too, its really bright when the sky is clear. But the thing is you can sit under the sun at noon and feel so cool.



Mechanical Engineering ?? Yes tis is my place to study for the next few months...








Some Pictures around my college.

Cant believe that more than half of the people in my class are Asians. Malaysian - 6 Singaporeans-6 Hongkongs - 6-7 China- 5-6 Brunei -1 Indians - more. Even before we start real lectures we have a maths assessment. walao 18 questions give us 50 mins only. Alot question are A levels de.. but screw it , forgot all. And here, if you dont know how to answer, you have to write sth like : "I dont know how or I am clueless or I have no idea" to let them know you duno how to do that question.


Hmm...wan pee ? Go find toilet lo.




Oo .. this is what I found it different from malaysia's toilet because they have this(durex) vendor in it. and something to wipe your hand(when u pull.. some dry cloth will come down and some wet cloth will be re-rolled in)



The place I live in is call Southside Hall.. with 3 sub halls which sound like those in Harry Potter:- Selkirk, Tizard and Falmouth-Keogh. With those doors you just need your college card to unlock the main gain and your room door( works like touch and go) . The card is so important it is your library card... your card to assess to your class building... your card with some pounds in it.... no card means no need to go back room.

Sien












YeA... Sien is claimed to be the word I used most in msn. Since like everyone who go oversea have to start a blog, I start in this sien friday night. After 10 days of busy, at last come back to some sien.. yay !!










Always thought I was dreaming to realise the fact that now I am already in London. I have been admiring universities in the UK so long ago and always wanted to go there. I cant believe I do step on Imperial College now.








Feeling homesick ??? Nah...




Hard to adapt? Ok la.




Tough life? Its been nice here.




Cold? Getting used to wear shorts in room now.








The only shitty thing now... I think i failed my maths assessment and have to take extra classes.




There are so much things to talk about London. You cant find anything similar to Malaysia. At least I can experience some campus life which I never had. Wah... you will feel the ulu (ness) of SMKB or Kepong, even kl people here dont know where the **** is that. Good as I seem like the only 1 who study in a sekolah menengah. I regretted so much. I should have fail my LAN super kao.. A couple of my friends know how du lan I was when I did my LAN. ( LAN means male erectile organ in cantonese).








Its good that I know how to speak cantonese, there are alot of hong kong people.. hmm... pretty girl ? No wo.. Although Dr Tofu's report* rejected ts hypothesis, but it seem quite applicable here. haha!








1st impression. When I go to my accommodation, they give you a file with hell lot of useless welcome and info letter. Then there was a small red packet drop out also. It reads "Pasante Healthcare" Strawberry. Wtf ??! Took me a day only i realise ..oh its a condom.




2nd impression. Right in the evening, bbq dinner welcome. Thirsty. Look at the table... All wine bottles and beer cans. Living in Malaysia for so long you should know how exp are those things, and we pay so much for tuition fees.. hey feel like wan grab all !! But unfortunately,I cant drink alot. @!$#$$^&*!! waste.




3rd impression. Look at the door. Just like those glass pushable doors in malaysia. Try push cannot. And its simple, place your card near the sensor.. you will hear tiii....LED turns green, then the door will open for you. I neva seen such auto doors in Malaysia.. cool!








ZzzZzz zz ....... sleepy de. Thanks everyone who came for my farewell and to the airport (my official gratitude) Anyone who I didnt meet, I hope we see each other again next year.








*drtofu report- If u dunno, just ignore it.
