My Bizzare Brainwork Says

So after walking for more than 6 hours, we got home past 12am and the next day we need to gather at 7am for the Car Boot Sale. All gather gather and walk together like penguins in the very cold morning to the sunday market.

REACH!! Here, the river is everywhere.. i think to the local they called it huge drain. Hahaha like the one near Midvalley.

Many many cheap stuff here. Most is 2nd hand but if you look hard enough, you will find a gem among the stones.

The huge burgers that they sell there. It’s the only food stall there so it has a bee line to it. However, i still prefer Ramly burger anytime cos the burger is huge and quite empty inside except a slab of meat 0_- Somemore 1.5pd but i’m not hungry till dinner time after eating it. So it’s quite worth it.

On the way back home from the market, sit and chat between the train station and university. Enjoying the morning sun. Really appreciate sun!! I now understand why the ang moh go crazy when they see sun shine. Most of the time, we’ll be wrapped from top to toe because it’s too cold and drizzling. Umbrellas and coat everywhere we bring with us. So at the chance of seeing some sun and it’s a PLUS if it’s dry, you’ll see people swamping the gardens and just out and be happy in the sun.

Sheffield United stadium which is less than 5 minute walks from my place. Too bad it got kick out from the big boys game or else i might have a chance to see it play against Liverpool or ManUtd Oh ya, i bought the long coat for only 1pd. Damn cheap right?! Luckily i did not buy anything from WinterTime back in Malaysia. hahaha

Peace Garden at night. People like to run through the fountain. But not like those dumb people in the photos la. We wait till the fountain is ankle high only run through risking it shooting waters up suddenly. It’s all about timing people..emhmmm…

Infront of the Winter Garden, next to Peace Garden. Sheffields’ got alot of balls as decorative stuff around town. The huge steel balls has water flowing down at all time. very pretty sights, the disco light thingie are.

Not the Quicksilver we all know of. It’s an amusement center*cough*casino*cough*. Btw, i haven’t spot shops like MNG, Roxy and Quicksilver here at all. weird huh…

Netto!!! Your friendly, neighbourhood supermarket. This is where i did most of my grocerries shopping apart from Castle Market, 99p, and poundland. Must bring your own carrier bag because they don’t give you plastic bags, they sell you for 3p each! Appreciate the bags that jusco or tesco gives out in Malaysia people >_>

Lastly, one of the punnet of strawberries i bought from Castle Market overlooking my room window. 2 punnet @ 1 pound. All the strawberries are besar besar belaka and some it’s overgrown and erm, looks like got cancer already. hahaha..Don’t dare to eat also.

Let’s all have a moment of silence for the victims to the freak storm that Sheffield had yesterday.

It rained for more than 24 hours and the wind is like so damn crazy. I still do not know it was this serious up till today when our lecturer told us bout it.

All incoming and outgoing trains was stop and the tram and buses are all put on hold. About 900 people was stranded at the stations.

The above happen yesterday and i was still oblivious the situation is that serious, i still can brave the damn storm to the bank and walked back home. The whole day we were cursing bout the freezing wind and thunderstorm. My whole face and fingers are numb from the wind. It’s not even cold anymore, it’s just numb. I bet i can’t even feel a slap across my face.

It’s like battling with the wind and see who will survive, no idea how many umbrellas die-ed yesterday. By the time, i got home, my whole jean is wet, my socks in my sneakers are wet and my notes in my backpack is kinda soaked.

So much for first day of class in Sheffield. Definately Memorable.

Fresh or not so fresh from Manchester Airport. People from my course.

And in order to get to the Sheffield, we need to cross hilly roads where we can see alot of very blur looking sheeps. Really wolly and erm, dirty. haha but the look from the faces are really filled with ???? Btw, it’s not called Peak District. Something Penine hills or dono.

Before i left, i remember Ben telling me to try the Ale and he misses it alot. Summer dear, you can show this to time. My souvenier for him. HAHah

On the way to get our SIM card, we saw this St.Mary and stopped there for so long just to take photos. Maklumlah, we all first time in UK, damn jakun and excited to see the green leaves with super fat birds and a cathedral that has a clock tower that actually works.

The first time i was at The Moor, we stayed there past our lunch time and i did not bring any lunch there that i was so hungry i bought myself a jacket potato with cheese dressing. 2 of us shared and still canot finish it. But it feels good eating it because it’s windy and cold there.

This is an absolute-MUST-visit place in sheffield. Damn nice can die. Alot of people just lying or sitting on the green grass patch chatting or having lunch while you see doll-like kids running across the fountain under the sun. I love the sun here. It’s nicely warm not like Malaysia stinging hot type. Plus the cool breeze, weather like this are perfect. Oooh, we saw a wedding too.

At night we went to Norfolk’s Park. It’s already 830pm when we start to head out from our flats. Damn bright right. hahaha.. The park is such a nice place and makes me feel like running and running and roll on the grasses. Too bad i canot lay on it because it drizzles and it’s wet :(

It have a hugggge green area and lookin at it makes you more stressless. No need yoga and shrink la. So so nice i canot describe. Will go there soon again.

We ran all the way up to the end and there’s a huge playground there. The stuff there, it’s not for anyone so i’m not sure why they leave it there for the kids to play. As you can see, it’s a thingie thats in the shape of A and you’ll have to sit on it and hang on for dear life while your cruel friend swing you around. You’ll feel like you’ll be flung away..something like being lastic away. PLUS the cold cold wind, like wtf.

On the way to some memorial monument, we saw this! a proton SAGA~! Usually there’s alot of luxurious cars park on the roadside but nothing compares the excitement when we saw this classic park behind a merc. Hahaha.. So far, waja, kancil, kenari, kelisa and wira has been spotted. Not bad eh, Malaysia Boleh!!

The monument in remembrance (if not mistaken) to some cholera plague sheffield used to had. Really breathtaking night scenery here. It’s like on top of a hill so by the time we get there, everyone is like huffing and puffing. hehe..

Lastly, the train station. The whole steel panel has water flowing down all the time and it’s really nice.

and a (again) really cool fountain.

Ok, it’s really late now and i’ve limited vocabulary. My blog is getting boring i know so i’ll just go to bed now :(

I’m going to York tomorrow morning. Hopefully it wont rain as the weather forecast says it will.

Taking the bus or tram to get around town is simply too expensive for me. A distance of about 15 minutes walk would have cost me 2pd = RM14. You do the math if i take the bus to uni on a daily basis.

Oh, did i also mentioned that i am extremely strong in my table of 7 and i’ve improved tremendously on my Math ?? I’ve been converting each and every price tags i saw over here and honestly, not all the things here are expensive. Compared back home, some are even cheaper here. Which i will blog about next.

Picchhhasssss !!! Departing from Penang Airport to KLIA to meet the rest of Tarcians. I have a HUGE crowd sending me off that night which might have drawn attention from the other people who was there as well tee hee hee My BabyCousinTing counted and a total of 21 people was there -__-

Thanks for being there guys although i know it’s kinda rush for some of you and i am so honoured that one of them flew back from scotland just to send me off :P

Here’s my lovely parent. I promise i’ll be good here. DivaLisa, you reassure them of that again. And i’ll call back as much as i can.

Boarding the plane heading off to Dubai. The line is so so so long. After seeing a few airports, i know why KLIA is the best. Because the rest suxs.

It took us more than 6 hours to get to Dubai and the seats were quite small. I pity those caucasions whose physiques are obviously bigger than us. At least the food, the inflight entertaiment and services were good. The guys had some disappointment though with the erm, physical appearance of the stewardess..hahaha…But the girls was happy.

Dubai airport as i mentioned in my tagbox has wifi but it sux because it gaves us all the internet addicts false hope. And there’s alot of corpse lying around the entire airport =_=

I don’t understand how does people can sleep in that position on the stone cold floor.

After waiting for few hours, off we go to Manchester. Do you know that Dubai is at 34celcious at 4AM ?? Imagine how hot & humid it would have been during the noon?? Anyway, i got the window seat and guess what??

I actually saw Al-Burj from the plane with my own eyes. Although it’s tiny, i still saw it before Bleeekk~~ The photos are not that clear because the air in Dubai looks very hot and hazy to me.

Not only that, i saw The Palm which i alway saw from those forwarded mails. I thought it’s just a myth and i hardly could believe that those dubai people is really building it. Plus Dubailand land will be ready in a few more years. omg.

Nothing much to do on the plane except drink the free wine, beers and whisky. Plus eat, eat and sleep sleep lo… The wine bottle damn cute ok, about the lenth of a ruler and i wanted to take it with me. But i scared i will kena stop by the custom for having something liquid on me, so i did not :(

Finally after more than 24hours of flying half way across the globe, 7 hours younger than those people in Malaysia, I’m am here.

I really am in UK.
