Up and About

Hey guys! Sorry for the hiatus~ It's not that I've been busy but I've been LAZY! I've been going to places as you can see on my Facebook (didn't plan to upload them but my mum have been pestering dad to show her my photos but I didn't so now I did). So far, been to York, Whitby, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Cheshire Oak(a designer outlet mall), and will be going to Cambridge this weekend! Since I'm not entitle to be a member of Cambridge University, taking a photo there and pretend that I am is already a thrill to me *muka tak tahu malu* The following weekend, my friends and I are driving up to Scotland! Yes, the land of Lochness and pipebag! If I'm lucky, I may get the chance to see her! Beautiful creature of the mystic times =D

 As much as I love being here, I still do miss home. A house is not a home. I realize this now. But I am thankful to my parents that I'm able to be here. Helping me get a degree and letting me explore the other part of the world. I enjoyed myself so much that I wish you are here with me (whoever that's reading this). I want to be able to share this beautiful place and experience with you. One of the best experience was to be part of the Olympics Torch Relay! 3hours or more wait was a kill but when the torch bearer jog by us, it's nothing but proud. Once in a lifetime opportunity.

My friends and I have been cooking together a lot these days. Almost every weekend, setting up themes on what to cook to represent home. So far, we had steamboat(awfully good for the chilly weather here), pan mee, tomyam bihun, and roasted pork! YES! We feel very much at 'home' with these food. The fact that I'm missing the dumpling and moon cake festival, I think about home a lot. Yes, these are the littlest things that I had took granted off. We crave for a lot of food here. Nasi lemak, roti canai, char koay teow, mamak food(Ali!), fish slice soup noodles and so on. Don't get me wrong. I do enjoy the fish and chips, kebabs and burgers here as these are real fish and burger patties (much less processed), but it will never taste like 'home'.

Scenery here are breath-taking. Green fields and farms and beautiful flowers everywhere! While you pay RM5 for a stalk of rose, I pick them up from the side walk. No joke. What seems like romance and luxury flowers back home, it's found every where by the road or in Tesco! There are roses and daisies at the court yard of my hostel. And, we can take a bus ride or 20min walk from here to get to the nearest farms! We see flocks of sheep, cows and horses! It's like a dream come true to me because I really want to meet a horse and when I did, I couldn't hide the joy! And as you can see from my photos, I met alpacas! They are really soft and fluffy! Took me a lot of trouble chasing them to get a decent photo so appreciate it! =P This is the beautiful life.

Though I may be surrounded by many people but I still feel alone. I miss you =(

Love from Sheffeld,
