k So here is my small little room, which is godlike big for a college campus hostel and it feels more hotel-ly than any other room in the campus. There's 20 boys in here including me, and there's 1 teacher, Dr. Pew and the owner, Mr. Owen. This hostel place is called Acton Pigot and it used to be a farm that Mr. Owen owned, then converted and extended into a hostel.
The weather here is hostile and harsh, with nights going as low as -10 for tonight (yesterday was -7) and daytime still being cold. It snowed today though, imagine my surprise when I went to sleep yesterday with the pavement and dirt outside being brown, then wake up and go out and see it's pure white.
And the college. is. fucking. huge.
I mean, it's the length of 2.5 x of stadium putra bukit jalil and there's some room for a rugby field and a small football field. There's tennis courts, squash courts, swimming pool (frozen), then there's buildings here and there and the college campus summore. Acton Pigot is a few minutes walk from campus btw; it's outside of campus.
Lessons haven't started yet, but it'll start on wednesday, and wednesday is only half day. I'll probably spend some time in the nearby town of Shrewsbury to check out what's the place like.
and LoL most of the college ppl are Malaysians. Sure, you can find a few from hong kong and china, maybe one or two from korea and dubai. Most of them are Malaysians, and they come from penang to miri. Got a few kakilang from KL btw. And the girls here I say, look somewhat prettier than you guys punya back at KL. Maybe CBN quality.
Curfew's at 10pm now, but lol everyone else is playing dota LAN.
And before I came here on the 4th, I spent my time walking around the city of Brussels, Belgium and Paris, France. Brussels is a nice place, it's got food, sights, walks, history. The good food there is the belgian chocolate, waffles, and beer. Watch out though, they speak both dutch and french there, with the dutch on the northern side and the french on the south side, but brussels's main language is both. (Gaufres is Waffles btw, if you're going there and u smell something sweet from a stall with the word Gaufre there). The Manneken Pis is a small fountain there, that was crowded by a few hundred ppl in a small cramped street. I don't get why so many ppl would gather to see a fountain of a small little naked boy peeing.
Paris on the other hand, is romantic.
Everywhere u go, there would be at least a couple kissing somewhere, or 2 couples walking down the street holding hands. But, that place was worth it, IT IS ABSOLUTELY beautiful. And it was fucking cold for the entire time I spent walking outside along Champ Elysees. That street was beautiful too. The Eiffel Tower is gigantic, the Lourve is historic, Bastille is tall, Notre Dame is gargoyle-ly, and the Mona Lisa is small. I was somewhat expecting it to be bigger. Don't get what's so enchanting about that small portrait anyways.
After those days, I came back to here in jolly old britain.
K don't wanna waste anymore time writing tis. Time is precious here. And I can use some of it to hone my maggi cooking skillz. Apparently I'm the only one here who has been able to bring in maggi from outside the country. It's illegal, or so my campusmates tell me.
here's a little treat for you guys. It's the pic from whence they took at my BBQ and the pic they koot at yau's farewellparty/xmasparty before i left.
K now i'm off, ciaoz.
P.S. I'm feeling somewhat sad now. My college timetable only allows me to be free after 8 when I come back from campus. In campus I don't think I can get a comp there LoL. So during my 8pm it's your 4am. Kinda depressing really, It's 10.30pm on my side, and your side is 6.30 am.
When I'm asleep, you're all awake, When I'm awake, you're all asleep. When I'm free, you're all asleep now.
Oh cruel fate, why hast thou changeth time to be gmt+8
Bonne Annee btw ppl. I'm gonna miss CNY but I'll celebrate with the kakilang here using maggi instead of CNY food.
