My last trip here was the Liverpool trip and it has being one month since i last do any traveling around UK, so the few of us has decided to join in the trip to Whitby this weekend. Abit of introduction, it’s a relatively small town on seaside and some of you might know the book Dracula, the writer actually wrote it based on one of the church on a top hill. Yup since it’s a seaside town there are also plenty of fish and chip shop around as they got the fishes directly from the fisherman and there are no doubt on the freshness of fishes used to make fish and chips here.

We were drop off at Whitby Abbey as it is some 199 steps ahead of the town of Whitby thus saving us all the energy to walk up. Well the church was sort of went through some war and here’s what’s left, there’s plenty left anyway so it still look kinda nice(lucky us that they didn’t have strong explosive as they do now?)

Yes you can actually go inside but they do charge 4 pounds for each entry(thus the walls around it as you see in the pictures), we sort of miss the entry point so we just walked around it. As we walked round it we were greeted by this great view

Another pic of the church, i took quite a few picture of this building cos i think it looks kinda cool. i’m starting to like scenery pictures. The building, sunlight, cloud just make it so nice =D

We then proceed to the town area beneath the hill to shop around for souvinier, well nothing much interesting just that there’s alot of jet shop and candy shops. Went on to look for fish and chips as lunch. We were told to try out Magpies Cafe that was recommended by few of my friends who came here few weeks earlier but it seems like everyone like it so much that the line was insanely long so we decided not to wait and try out another shop which is less crowded.(i think they basically tasted about the same, it’s like bak kut teh in klang, some prefer this shop and some prefer others?)

Well the taste was nothing extraordinary, they basically just deep fried everything and serve it lol. ok la the fish were really fresh and the fries tasted good but i can’t really say the same when it got cold after 10 minutes, portion was large and because it was deep fried you’ll sort of get the disgusted feeling as you’re finishing it. My advise will be skip the chips and taste the fish or better still order one set and share it. It cost 3.90 pounds for the fish alone, ya kinda expensive but it’s cod fish and i’m in uk so i guess it’s alrite haha (most chinese would go ‘WTF” when they see they deep fried cod fish, seriously steaming it is still the best way)

After lunch we walked to the seaside area and took some photos around that place. Again i found my target again and this time it’s the light house.

While we were walking around the town we saw alot of people walking their dogs and everytime i see it, it reminds me of my dogs at home >.< gosh i miss them too…

Anyway that’s all for now, we had a steamboat session yesterday and drank beer til bout 12 while i only sleep at 1am. Woke up at 630am for this trip and i’m freaking sleepy now. Next up should be the shopping heaven, hopefully =D

Ya i’m sort of lazy and running out of idea for title this the unique date title.

Updates of my life here?Well it’s being pretty much a routine now with what i do here, getting used to things and wondering where should i visit next?it has being weeks since i last join any trip so i guess its time to join some before i become some weird guy who came to uk and do not travel around. Oh ya i’m heading down to Liverpool again on August to catch the Athletico Madrid match, i’ve got the train ticket but the match ticket is still pending, hope that my friends at LJMU can grab me the tickets rather than waiting it to go on public sales.(pray hard for me will ya?) Ya i know it’s just a friendly and all but seems like it will cost me an arm to get any tickets for premier league game so better juz catch a match 1st, anything else is just bonus for me i guess.

Being adding up some friends at high school in facebook lately and randomly i saw my ex’s sister and decided to add her up. One thing lead to another and we ended up catching things up in MSN. Talk alot about each other life and what we did in these 2 years and accidentally heard about her breaking up with her bf recently. I didn’t ask much as i didn’t wanna be busybody (as if i am not) but i guess it surely has something to do with her job, ya not surprisingly she is also an air-stewardess now. (3 air stewardess from a family? -.-) so those guys who always dream to have an air-stewardess gf, let me tell you it’s not fun to have one, this is from someone who is speaking from experience =p You might be thinking now that i surely did ask her about her sister but to disappoint you i didn’t, i guess staying stranger to each other is the best for both of us.

No more emo feeling on her anymore, no more rubbish thinking, no more sad sad night thinking of the past. What’s left are just good memories and sweet smiles of what we used to have because life is certainly much more beautiful that way. =)

Nothing particular special to blog about here, just some random updates about my life here.

Finally i spent my 1st weekend staying home as they organized a trip to Manchester and i decide to skip it cos they are visiting Old Trafford as part of the trip. I didn’t join mainly because i was kinda exhausted travelling so much and that place is pure evil(MU -> devil, you get the drift) =D

Basically my usual weekdays will be going to class, go for groceries, cook dinner, watch some drama over PPS and call it a day. Sometimes playing basketball as well but ya life is kinda boring here. Weather starts to get hotter day by day and makes it more like summer now.

Right now i’m starting to get kinda busy with assignments, study is getting abit more tedious compared to the 1st few weeks, the visa extension thing which is troublesome as always. I’ve being receiving news over past few weeks telling me that i can’t extend my visa that i need to go back to Malaysia again to apply visa, for that split second i’ve actually thought of changing my plan to go back and never come back again. I’ve start to miss home, mum’s cooking(yup, a whole week of tomato sauce fish will not bored me now!), dad’s caring(kinda nag alot but i know he care for us), sis’s gossip, my car(miss it alot especially when i walk around like mad man!!i miss hentaming the fuel pedal >.<), my dogs back at home(seeing wiwi sleeping on my bed is priceless!!) and etc. Things are so different in my life now and suddenly it just felt like i’ve left home for a long time. All those memories just seems so old.

Enough of ranting before my sis go to my dad and tell him i wanna cancel the master plan(my sis reaction at this moment will be -.- or swt lolz). I’ve told myself to be more decisive and do things that i’ve plan so nop, there’s no change in my plan(unless they don’t gv me a visa then maybe i’ll hv to find a Plan B). Although i have my doubt with what kinda value i can fetch with the master but heck why worry something that is so far away and this is mainly because i have a supportive family who always let me do what i wanted. I know i would never say this to my dad face to face because i will feel shy but thank you daddy for what you did for me, i’m glad to have you as my dad because i couldn’t possibly ask for a better dad. I love you too mummy and sis, i just love my whole family =)

oh ya recently my cousin sis which was also my classmate back in standard one told me some touching stuff i did to her and she rmb it till today. Sorry la i really forgot about it but hey, a good boy will be a good man =p She seems a little down so come talk to me if you wan cos i can get really bored here sometimes.

As for my cousin’s jie mei, sorry that i didn’t realized what happened to you until i go to your blog after chatting with you. Hope you can get over that bad incident cos it wasn’t worth you spending your time on it at all(Spend the time chatting with me better =p).

That’s all for now.
