Hey people,

It has been ages since i've last blogged.Been in London for a month and a week. A lot of things have happen in between this period. I am still learning day by day how to adapt to the culture and the weather. Been a month of lecture and i have finished one whole component of my study- cell biology... 27 lectures and nothing went into my brain. Probably got fried in the middle of the lecture due to information overload.

Life here is cool. Went to Ministry of Sound for a nite so called for medicine student gathering. It was pure smoke,loud music, glitering lights... but i enjoyed it somehow or another. At least i have been here and know what is so famous about it. Unfotunately on the way back...we board the right bus but at the wrong side of the road... We travelled all the way to Lewisham the other end of our destination, Oxford Street. We manage to reach back home at 4.30 am although we left the Ministry of Sound at 2 am. To make things worst i have class at 9.30 am all the way down at Whitechapel. Luckily i survived even with 3 hours of sleep.

Then on Wednesday, Princess Anne pays a visit to Pooley House,Flat 02...yeah thats my flat. A royalty from Buckingham Palace. We just shake hands and the with a bit of bla bla bla... she went off . Nothing suprising or amusing or amazing... and the whole university make a big fuss about it.


Hmm, i miss home. I miss my mom cooking for me. Here i have to cook myself. Miss those soups... Living on a budget is not that easy. But spending like 30 pnds a month on dinner is really good. So i guess its worth cooking anyway.

Now im down with cough due to M n S big big big big chocolate cookies which are so irresistable. Sore throat,sexy voice and now...cough! Its a pain! Buying a cough syrup cost me 3.49 pounds... there goes my nice meal!

Weather here is just nice but the wind is evil! I was walking backwards...amazingly... and it takes 7 minutes to go to class instead of 5 min! I spend 2 minutes fighting the force of wind, burning more calories... hence, EATING MORE!

To my suprise, i eat 3 times the portion of rice i eat at home!!! Yes 3 times! Why? I dont know... Maybe cos i eat light breakfast and lunch. Breakfast is always bread or cornflakes. Lunch would be egg or pasta. Dinner would be rice. I have such an unhealthy diet.Hehe but as long as i dont faint i think it still works...


Friends out there, miss you guys loads...from mamak session to shopping spree or just merely a chatty evening... haih...another busy week to go...

Cheers.
