NASI LEMAK!

上两个星期认识了卉勤的姐姐的朋友(关系好像有点远)。。他也是来自马来西亚,在这里住了两三年,而且那么刚好他又住在离我们家走路不到五分钟的地方。。
由於他很喜欢煮,所以昨天他请我们去他家吃NASI LEMAK。。
而,我们犹豫了很久:


第一:我们(包括卉勤)和他不是很熟,而且他大我们大约七岁,好像没什么话题聊。
第二:他还有邀请他其它的朋友,我们在那里可能会格格不入
第三:我们又不可能吃完就走,还要在哪里做那无谓的‘社交’
第四:我们需要在晚上准备明天的功课。
第五:(最重要!!) 我们很想吃NASI LEMAK


结果挣扎了很久,终於,我们为了NASI LEMAK 而出卖了自己。


我们接下来考虑的是需不需要带水果之类的手信。。想了很久,我们决定嫌手信太老套,所以就空手而去。


晚上七点正,到了他家。。第一个感觉就是。。。好像来错了。


第一:他的其他朋友虽然都来自马来西亚,但都以英语沟通。
第二:他们年龄看起来都和我们有一段距离
第三:他们在聊他们的,而我们就自我娱乐
第四:他们其实是来聚集看足球,所以我们好像也应该跟着看。
第五:他们个个都有带汽水蛋糕之类的为手信,只有自以为很IN的我们没带。


当我们吃完不久觉得是时候离开,这时,他们才反而开始和我们用华语聊起来了。。
他们聊家乡,聊这里的生活,这里的工作和经验。。
还好,他们都还蛮能聊的。


突然就觉得虽然我们来自同一个家乡,却不曾碰面,反而在这样的一个机缘下聚在一个陌生+遥远的国度。。老套的一句,缘分真奇妙!:P

或许大家都是来自同一个家乡,所以虽然刚认识,却对他们有着一份熟悉的感觉。。

就好像这个虽然带有点焦味的NASI LEMAK,还是让我们在这个异乡品尝到一份熟悉的味道。。

Friday- free to update blog! ;)

Oh..it is finally Friday!have been busy for 5 days n its time to rest!
This 5 days really make us exhausted.. mon,wedn,fri whole day lab fr 9-5pm while tues n thurs whole day lecture fr 9-5pm..at night come back also cant really do revision since is too tired. Well, time flies during lab but not during the lecture..the duration is too long til we cant really absorb what the lecturer is teaching..n all masuk kiri keluar kanan..hehe.. luckily the accent of the lecturers are not too strong so still can understand what they talking bout.. but I can hardly understand the accent of the scottish other than the lecturers.. like the shopkeepers or the bankers.. they r really too ‘scottish’. Hmm..i think I need some more time..

Our lecture hall..



All sleeping during break time..



Playing football up the hill? yeah, it is finally friday n boys' group is desperate for football, so they can play happily even without any proper goal!


Have gone through 2 practicals of the most scary subject in tis sem- pharmacy practice 3. This is the subject that can kill all of us since we can get negative marks in this subject and according to seniors, the pass rate is really really LOW! U need to resit for many times to pass the exam. Basically, its all about checking prescription n counseling. N we get to face the real scenarios in the lab full of various medications.. n we get a prescription fr doctor n we start checking the legal category n the dose of the prescription..then we go n get the correct medication n prescribe to the lecturer who pretending as a patient n we gotta counsel him on the drugs. And if we hv any doubts on our prescription then we need to ‘call’ (yea, jz pretending to call on phone) the doctor n ask for the problems. So far, the practical is quite interesting to me.. (mayb it is jz the beginning, so tats y it is interesting..;P).. but I know the nightmare is coming soon! -_-



4 photostated books plus 2 original ones cost us 90 pounds!!

Well, have been in Glasgow for almost 2 weeks.. now is summer but the weather still v cold.. imagine we wrap ourselves like ‘bak chang’ n the Scottish wear singlet n skirt down the street.. hrmph! We swear that next yr summer we can also wear like them since we believe that we could gradually tolerate to the weather here. (hope so huh…) And we found that the things here r v cheap.. if u dun convert!wahaha.. really! If u go to the supermarket, u ll find that almost everything is in pents, 1 pounds or 2 pounds like tat only. Like a normal size of bottle of shampoo, we can get it in 80 pents.. hv u ever get to c a shampoo in 80 cents in msia? No way! And also the clothes n jeans here, u can get nice one in only 4 pounds! Tats y the ppl here enjoy shopping coz things r simply cheap. N I guess all of them here are quite rich also… Oh, we need to walk a lot at here since the town is quite a distance away fr our place.. so we do exercise also!but jz not a single sweat coming out..:P

So far, I m adapting quite well at here..n it is stg quite weird.. coz before coming here, I was pretty worried that I cant used to the life here. But now, things prove me wrong. The life here is quite good for me.. and I can sleep very well here, unlike in msia when sometimes I did suffer from insomnia. Here, whenever I look out from my window.. the birds, the sky, the clouds, the buildings.. all these can make me feel so relax..

Glasgow, a city not familiar to me, but guess it is also a city which I am gonna fall in love with it..

千山万水+千辛万苦

1140PM 从马来西亚飞往伦敦的飞机。。竟然发生故障飞不起!
大家都扛了那将近8KG的手提行李上飞机安置好座位准备起飞,怎知飞机在跑道上绕了好多圈,终於感觉到飞机在加速就要起飞了,却发现它又再次慢下来。。然后又在继续绕圈子。。过了很久,我们被通知飞机引擎故障所以要求我们换飞机。。天啊!怎么飞机也会发生酱的事!不是应该检查清楚才让我们上飞机的吗?!结果我们就在等待厅拖着疲惫的身体加上那不轻的行李箱继续等。。
‘怎么我们要出一年也出到那么辛苦?’
‘怎么我们这班那么衰,CAMP 也比人家多去一次,要飞又飞不起?’
‘酱罕见的事都会发生,我们可以去买万字了!’
朋友们你一句我一句。。我们就只好虚度光阴,出国的心情也没有了。
245AM。。终於上了另一班飞机。。这飞机有点残旧,正怀疑这飞机是否有能力载我们到目的地。。。
飞机上的座位很小,睡到很不舒服。。那十三个小时可真难熬。。
坐我左边的是我的朋友,伊卉。。还好有个伴。。
坐我右边靠窗的是个瘦小的外国男生,他没有其它外国人的热情,就只是搞自闭静静害羞的靠着窗,酱也好,我不必去应酬说话。
我睡睡醒醒,感觉自己没么睡到,但有一次醒来时,伊卉竟告诉我,那外国男生刚才因为要上厕所但又不好意思乱醒我,所以他站在他的椅子上跳出去,然后回来时也是酱跳进来。
天啊!莫非他的轻功真的如此厉害?!竟然跳到我都没察觉到。。
嗯。。也好,这也证明我有熟睡到。。因为害怕会有JET LAG所以很希望自己可以多睡。。
还好整个行程没有晕机也没有耳鸣,根本没有感觉我在飞机上。
机餐还不错,由於一整天都没么吃到东西,所以我就飞机上很饿,也冒着可能会反胃的机率吃了NASI LEMAK 和咖喱鱼饭,但还好都没有觉不舒服。。直到飞机要下降时,耳朵开始作痛。。忍。
终於,到了另一个国度,伦敦。无法相信我已身置在伦敦。
由於我们迟到了,所以我们错过了下一班飞往苏格兰的飞机。。真残。又要拖着疲惫的身体加那不轻的行李箱在飞机场流连。
从UK的时间930AM等到2PM,才再次坐上飞往苏格兰的飞机。
在那飞机上,我坐靠窗的座位。。只有一小时的飞机却让我有很严重的耳鸣。。忍。
到了机场,拿了行李,学校的人来接我们。
出了机场,终於FRESH起来了,因为这里的天气真的让我有种身置在国外的感觉了。。
前前后后过了24小时,我终於到啦!!!
到了宿舍,有一大片的青草原,感觉很好。
宿舍里跟我想象的有点不一样,整理完毕后,晚上八点多,天还没暗,我就忍不住倒头大睡了。。
累。
