Goodbye Malaysia Hello UK

Well ok so im sure you people out there are just dying to know whats been up since I left for the UK right? Well i've been here for almost a week and i've FINALLY been able to log in to put a new post.

But First: To those of you who dont know I finally got my video camera! (YAY!!) i got it about a week before I left Malaysia. if your interested its the Sony Handycam HDR-SR5. I was supposed to blog about it but i never finished writing it lol.

Anyway. So far so good. People here are nice n helpful. The weather is ok. Im used to the cold. No problems there. Campus is pretty big so its annoying that I have to walk from one end to the other all the time. And NO. I dont have a british accent. yet. ;)

Ive taken a few pictures here n there. But ill upload them later once the internet in my hostel is up n running which should be tomorrow. Public transport is really great (but expensive). Actually EVERYTHING is expensive because of the 7 to 1 exchange rate. Things here are generally one-to-one currency wise so its quite nutcase for me. Imagine paying RM14+ for a return bus ticket!! (its actually £2.70 but i feel its high even in pounds)

I've yet to get a new phone or number. Since im getting a contract phone i can only get it once ive got a bank account. Anyway things close up pretty fast here. the library closes at 8.30pm!! the city centre aint dead at night but evrerywhere else is. Even in the city most shops/offices are closed. One thing la. Malaysia's banking system is certainly better and more efficient than in the UK. Yup! belive it its true. (or maybe its just HSBC UK) lol.

anyway cant think of stuff to write about. so thats all for now.

Cheers!

Bon-Voyage one by one

Aaah one by one everyone is leaving. Time sure flys and as the time for me to say Goodbye Malaysia draws ever closer, I see myself having to bid farewell to many people; those who are leaaving before me, those who are leaving after me, and those who arn't leaving at all. Its certainly a sad time, and whilst many people will be excited about going off overseas, Im in no hurry to leave.

Yesterday was Hooi Tzings farewell (well the one she held for herself la). We had fun, but its quite sad a moment. I've known Hooi Tzing for such a long time (FYI longer than Derek which is already LONG). We took some pictures n all but u know we gona do this wif everyone. At least if you leave later u have a bit more time to say goodbye to all the people you care so much about in this world, but if your leaving soon, you find time to be REALLY insufficient to do n say all that you want to do n say. Even if your not leaving yet you'll find yourself saying goodbye one by one to all your friends. Well ok la im being dramatic. Its not like were going off for good and will never see each other again n stuff but just how often will we get to see each other? How will we be keeping in touch? Ok la you say so many of us are going to the UK or even Ireland but still.. the British Isles are BIG. Its not like you can just pop over now n then so conviniently! Even though many of us will be in the same time zone, in Uni we gona be very busy I doubt we would be able to keep in touch. What more for people who are back home or worse AussieLand?? Die lor 10 hours time difference!! No way to MSN man....

Aya im just ranting. But then again I guess this whole post is just gona be a whine n rant. Tonight I sed goodbye to Hooi Tzing. Jolynn is leaving 2 days after Tzing. Then of course theres Sarah who I have absolutely no chance of seeing before I leave for UK. Watabout Faye n Min-Soon? 17th is soo freakking close. At least I managed to see Kenny one last time, and have a proper goodbye(to a certain extent la: these type of things you can never be happy wif it). I really hope I can make time to go up to KL one last time. And of course my melaka frens who are oh-so-busy wif STPM...

Anywayz I dont really know where Im going wif this post la. Im just rambling cuz of all the goodbyes that are in store and the sad feeling you get. I still have to rush off n pack! I havent started at all. But my house is getting messier from all the shopping being done. (im just leaving the shopping bags around here n there). So Ill just post a few more pics. I havent quite decided what to post, but chances are its going to be about recent events wif frens n all the people I care about and are going to miss. Next chapter of my life is about to unfold, and its pretty obvious that its going to be a difficult and emotional transition.

~Baron off~

PS: DONT GET LONG-JOHNS!! repent your evil ways before its too late! Long-Johns are the most obsolete n idiotic form of clothing ever! Dont get it!!!

The Many faces of Hooi Tzing!

Me n Kenny! Great pal. Im gona miss you...

Haih! Sarah! Im not gona get to see you again before I leave!! *sob*

Pei Yuen: Yet ANOTHER person Im really gona miss once I go UK

I wonder when the five of us will be able to get together again like this...
