Touchdown in Manchester…
Hie there… Sorry for this late update on my whereabouts… I have just arrived here yesterday after about 13 hour flight from Singapore straight to Manchester… reached here about 6.50 in the morning… Well, in case you wanna know, my flight left Penang at about 9.10pm and reached Singapore at about 10.00pm… From Singapore, our plane departed at about 11.50pm… =) when i arrived here, me and farhan waited until about 7.30am for the Manchester University airport collection service to come and collect us and bring us to our university accommodation… then from there, my cousin came and bring us to her house in Irlam, Salford… well, we spent the night yesterday at my cousin’s house… since my accommodation contract have not started yet until today… =P And today morning, we’re supposed to go to the university and register our accommodation and stay there… =)
Well… i’m currently in my cousin’s house over here… I’m using her PC to come online and type this post… my hostel haven had any internet access and, err, dont ask me why i’m staying at my cousin’s house again today… =P So today morning, me and farhan went to settle our accommodation stuffs and attend some so called orientation touring programs… they bring us to a supermarket tour… its to a supermarket called Asda… i’m not sure if anyone from Malaysia has heard about but, to give you the general idea, its something similar to Tesco… or Carrefour for that matter… =) Err… yeah, then later my cousin came over at noon and brought us around shopping for essentials, try to set-up a bank account, try to get a mobile for us and later in the evening, brought us for dinner… =) err… sorry for not elaborating it further… i’m kinda tired actually… its currently about 11.00pm, which is about 6.00am over there in Malaysia…
hmmm… time difference is about 7 hours… time in Malaysia is actualyl supposed to be about 8 hours ahead, but due to something called Daylight Saving Time (i think), the clocks here are adjusted and its now only 7 hours behind Malaysia… =) err… the weather over here is really nice… its like Genting in Malaysia… cool and cloudy… not much sunlight… sometimes its windy a little… and the best thing is, you dont really sweat and you can walk and walk and walk for hours and dont really feel that tired like how you’ll feel in Malaysia just after walking 5 minutes under the sun… =)
well, there’s many things to be sort out still… i have to do my student registration… then i have to register for my hostel internet service… and after that probably get a mobile over here… and of coz, find out about my study timetable and stuffs… ><! its kinda hectic actually… and also… There’s still a lot to explore around the campus… Oh ya, for one, the campus is not exactly isolated from the city and have the perimeter walls or fence around it… nope… instead, it sorta like integrated or merged in with the city… so you have one building here, another building there, clusters of accommodation buildings here and there… all within the city… =)
hmmm… i guess thats all for now… sorry for the really brief update… I’ll probably talk and elaborate more on here next time… till then… have a nice day and do take care… =)
