Its been over two months since my last post. Things have changed quite alot actually since that "incident". I just checked back at the date i posted the last entry, and to my surprise, something wonderful and unexpected happened exactly a week after that. Wow.. how things have changed. I havent blogged in awhile because maybe there just hasnt been anything to talk about. No wait, thats a lie. I usually only blog when something bad/good/exciting has happened and i want the world to know. But nothing of that sort has happened either. Wait, thats another lie. Okay, so yes, tons and tons of good/bad/exciting etc things have happened. Sandesh is right, I do tend to keep alot of things to myself and not tell anyone. Perhaps thats why i talk in my sleep. All that surpressed anger/emotion/opinions/thoughts/etc.
So anyway, as you probably already know, i’m now in the UK! =) In Wales to be exact. Well, Aberystwyth. Not Cardiff. No, i didnt get into Cardiff. Yes, i should have studied for my A Levels Law paper. Gosh, the things i’d do differently if i could turn back time. Actually no, i dont really regret any of it much. Not even ‘him’. Cos its made me open my eyes to all the stupid f’d up assholes out there. Hahah. No, i’m not calling him that. Its just eye-opening and in a way, a lesson that i’ve learnt before it became too late.
So, what was i saying? Oh yes, Aberystwyth a.k.a Aber (for all you ppl who dont know how to pronouce ‘rystwyth’.. btw, its ah-ber-wrist-with)! I’m here now, doing the first year of my law degree. My flats not too bad. I’ve got 3 flat mates, 2 guys from Norway
and a girl from KL. Haha… they’re all really nice and decent ppl. And thank god they’re neat! =) My room (as Nadia would put it) is slightly smaller than the matchbox-of-a-room that i have back at home. Its alright. I’ve done the usual, decorated the walls with pictures of home <3, and put my colourful pillows on the bed that brightened up the room a little. I’m really getting used to this room. It wasnt that great at first, but now, hmm… its really starting to grow on me. So is the uni. And the place itself. And the ppl too. Met a couple of ppl here. I just dont have that enthusiasm to meet and mingle and make friends right now. I mean its lovely meeting all these ppl, but sometimes i just want to get on a damn plane and fly back home. Its the homesickness. Everyone feels it. I’ve spoken to so many ppl and not a single one denies that they’re homesick. Its normal. Just need time to settle down, get into my routine, and hopefully start to embrace uni life a little more.
I hate the showers in my flat. The tap wont off after you’ve had a lovely hot shower and since its so difficult to turn it off, you end up turning the tap till its freezing cold. I actually love the weather here. Lots of ppl complain saying that its too cold. But i LOVE the cold. I love that icy feeling (and no, i’m not an icy person!) I just love it. And you know what else I love? I mean… who else? Sandesh! Haha… okay maybe not exactly the best thing to put here. But wtv, i’m glad that we both wanted to do the long-distance. I miss him tons and tons though! =( and you know what else i miss? My morning NASI LEMAK WITH AYAM GORENG at Devi’s, Bangsar with Nadia! Damn! I love that rm5.50 stuff! See, i even remember the price! Oh nasi lemak, nasi lemak…. i’d give up potatoes for nasi lemak! Shit, the amount of potatoes i’ve got in the kitchen. And its so like jelak already. I’m so sick of roastedpotatoes/ potatoeswithcurry/ potatoesinsoup/ potatosalad!! Haha… nvm. Ignore that.
OOOH!! I’m so proud of myself. I actually touched and cleaned and cooked chicken that day. Had to remove all the icky skin and all. OOOH!! And i did my own laundry too! =) See… there’s so many things that were taken for granted back home. I’ve learnt quite abit abt life. Just a tiny bit. There’s so much more left to learn. I love the Aber seafront. Esp at night. Its so romantic when the waves ride all the way up and you hear that "swooosh" sound. It’ll be lovely to just cuddle up to your loved one and sit on one of the benches there, staring out to the sea and talking about everything. Gosh, i miss home. And yes Nadia, I miss you too! Haha.. and my family.Vun, Jas, Isaac, Nick, Arafat, Lisa, Vila, Shmz, Ajay, May… everyone! But we have to go our own separate ways. That doesnt mean we wont be friends anymore. I mean c’mon! Nadia and I talk on Skype so often i’m like so sick of her face! Speaking of feeling sick, i miss Cla too! Haha. Hope everyone at home is doing great. I’m alright here. Managing and coping, life gets a little slow in this part of Wales. But its honestly really starting to grow on me. Take care everyone, hope you’re having a really good time wherever you are in the world. Love lots!
