No, I did not forget 'bout my blog. Just that I finally got my internet connection fixed yesterday, by carrying that big fat 3 kg laptop to the library pfff Anyways, here's the ridiculous long post starting from day 1. It's hard to choose the best pictures to summarize for the entire week you know.. .



This one still in Brunei. dear yuyui paid me a visit before I left for the airport :)

this is obviously the Brunei airport lo. Dickson came by to say byebye



and hong hong too.

Thanks to all my friends who came to see me and say byebye and also those goodbye/have a safe flight/take care text messages awww. .. thank you thank you

ahhh this is in DUBAI airport. i think it was 3++ am in the morning. I can't really sleep in the plane though. Long flight is really sickening.
and after half an hour break, we fly to UK zoommm


i think this is the 2nd day, can't really keep track of the pictures. but i know this is the Picaddily street Lol



then the china town! but no people cause the shops only opened at 10 or 11 am.. i so miss chinese food nowww... i've been eating bread everyday, i feel like I'm made of flour already sigh
haha Casino?



Candy shop.




double-decker buses are everywhereeeeee




mmm.. . this is where my mum used to stay in her hostel 29 years ago hohoho.. i was nowhere to be found then.



So, for the few days in London, I stayed in Brunei HALL which is the cheapest accomodation in UK(as far as i know) because it is only 1.80 pound per night hahahaha but don't expect it to be like 5 star hotel lah

the view outside brunei hall



no smoking/Brunei Hall


So, after 3 days in London, we departed to Canterbury, which is about 2 hours ride away from London, but it took us more than 3 hours instead because the driver wasn't familiar with the route.

My parents visited my Uni and this is somewhere my campus



campus still



and one more...



view from keynes bus stop




then the bus



hi


there is this big park in the central of Canterbury city
... and hi again

canterbury town, the shops look so old-fashioned aren't they hahaha



oh this is victoria hotel where we stayed during our time in Canterbury before I checked in the University Accomodation


the room

and me




haha this is where I stay(ed), the Darwin college

the opposite side of it, behind is the woolf college building, accomodating the postgraduates only. I saw the bedrooms and kitchen, so niceeee... but too bad I'm undergraduate


we walked around town, and we saw this cute little sausage dog. so small and cute! It's rare to see brown-coloured ones in Brunei.



aww...

town center


on the way to London on Monday, to get my bank account done, which is still not yet sigh if only i knew Natwest and Lyolds don't claim charges, I wouldn't have register for an account in H*** haha I wish I could do what minna did. cancel off the account! yuhuuu

Me and mama in Starbucks. my last day spent with them



:(

The moment I waved goodbye to them, I feel so lonely out of a sudden. I have nothing to worry about when they're around, and now, I have to take care of everything myself.
I've more pictures coming up but right now I'm totally exhausted. This is the first time I stayed up so late eversince I came here. but i've kept this entry in draft for days and if I don't blog now it'll remain in there forever. and i hate my laptop keyboard pad, so hard to type. so you see . . i care 'bout my blog one okay, even with all those circumstances I've to overcome sigh . .
I've got overdue pictures to post on facebook. okay, I'm gonna sleeep right here right now I'm so so so so so tired
.... and hungry!!
alright,Goodnight!
