a new beginning
It's now 12.20 am saturday in Manchester.
Hi peeps!!!
This is my third day here and i feel it's getting better by the day.
Everything was so gloomy on the day I left. Sitting on the plane, feeling very much alone and looking very much depressed. I had to slap my face a few times so that I wouldn't be picked for a health check at the immigration. After, let see...hmm....15 hours of flight time we finally reached Manchester. After that we were sent to our halls to get settled in. Then, we went on a shopping trip to buy all the essentials. 6 of us spent altogether 140 pounds which is quite a lot of money even here. The cashier felt the need to check the authenticity of the three 50 pound notes by tearing them. Really, she teared them. The next 3 days are the orientation programme. We sat in the lecture theatre listening to talks on different stuff. And then, we went touring around the city. Today, we went Cheshire about 1 hours drive from the city. We have another campus there. At night they organised some Irish song and dance for us to mingle with each other and have some fun. I wanted to join but the group I mix with ain't that sort of people. Not so sporting. But then seeing that I was so bored, Darren came to ajak me to join them instead. So I did get to dance but then I fell in the middle of the dance floor because there were so many people pushing each other and I was the victim. But I was okay :) Tomorrow, I think we'll be heading to Alton town, if i'm not mistaken we visiting a theme park. So that should be fun. hmm...yup
I'm still very much worried when my term begins. I don't know what to expect. So far, I haven't met anyone whose doing the same ccourse as me. That means I'd be surrounded by ang moh's. I think I'd feel quite intimidated my them. Hopefully, they're not what I expect.
