Cooking

Another thing i hate here is cooking, well the price of eating out is kinda expensive so we decided to cook for ourself everyday. There’s a market named Nitto about 10 minutes away from our place so it’s not that bad. Seems the be the cheapest place to buy stuff around here.

On the 1st day, after unpacking and etc it was quite late already so we went for KFC for late lunch and went over to Nitto to shop for ingredient for dinner. Pictures of dinner.

Sheffield, UK

wooot i’m finally here in Sheffield after some 15 hours of flight.

i reached KLIA at 630pm and the queue to check in was so long that i’m only able to check in after some 1 hour. Upon checking in there isn’t much time so after we gather up we head in to the terminal. Before leaving i hugged my parents and my sister (i think it’s the 1st time i hug everyone from my family). Well sorry to dissapoint those of you who predicted that i’ll cry, i didn’t. Seriously i didn’t realized how much i will miss my life until i was on the plane realizing that there’s so much that i can’t do anymore for the next 1 year or so.

A picture before departure, an ang mou was looking and laughing at us when we did this in the train bringing us to terminal

the flight from Malaysia to Abu Dhabi was kinda unpleasant as it went thru several spot of turbulence and i did not get any sleep due to the noise (plane + babies are horrible to ears!). Reach Abu Dhabi around 4am and straight away we went to wait for our next flight to Manchester. I was really tired at that point so basically i force myself to sleep right after the plane take off. Basically for the first 4 hours i was awaken and sleep on numerous occasion, it is really that hard to sleep on plane.

Once we reached Manchester we were greeted by the super cold air (whoever that told me the weather is like Genting, it’s purely BS!!Genting is nothing compare to here =p). We were then have to go thru the fierce immigresen officers, some of us got thru easily but some were asked alot of questions.

Upon exiting the airport we can see the university representitives waiting for our arrival. We got on to the bus but had to wait for another 1 hour as one of the guy was held back by immigresen and the whole group of friends actually wait for him thus the delay. Anyway 1 hour later the bus started, some pictures i took on the bus

My toilet

Yes, we have our personal toilet here attached to each of our room here, how nice =D

The only thing i don’t like it is the kitchen, there’s one weird smell when we left it unuse for sometime.

That’s all for this post, next up is food.
