Wednesday ! Things are done differently here in Manchester. I applied for an International Student Account with HSBC online since the 19th of September, and they only started to sent me a letter yesterday. It took them a week to mail a letter. It should arrive in a couple of days time.

On monday, that was two days ago, my BBC friend Keung, my sister's China friend, my sister, and I went to a Chinese Association gathering at OPUS. Opus is a a club, kinda like those you would have in Singapore. It all the same, right? Anyways, we stayed there for 2 hours or so, almost getting bored to death. They played music that wasn't really appealing to our ears. Hmm. It was a fun sight though. Looking at CHinese from all over. China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and British Born Chinese.

Lectures started this week. Well, I just came back from the Uni. Just had a principles of marketing lecture. Lecture halls are called theatres, and it houses around 300 pple. Forgot to take a picture of that. Hehe.

Went to play pool yesterday. With Keung and some other locals. Managed to beat the locals but Keung was just too good. He started the first round and was left with the black ball. Managed to only pot one ball in before he got the black ball. Darn. 3 turns and gameover.

We were supposed to play badminton, but we went there too late. It stops at 7, and we went at 7. We got the wrong day. Should be thurdays, that is, when it opens till 9.

Since I'd been here, in Salford, Manchester, I had to buy my own stuff, do my own groceries, and cook my own meals. Back in Singapore, so many thing I took for granted. Noodles are just there in the kitchen, food readily available. Well, its a drastic change here. Either I figure out which food is easy to cook and go to the precinct to get them or I starve and eat air.
Hehe.

Bought a toaster yesterday. For only 4.5 Quid. Thats equal around 14 bucks. CHEAP ! Its brand new too. Bought the famous local crisps, Walker crisps. Well, crisps are just potato chips. But here, they call it crisps. Hm. Maybe they just plain lazy to pronouce 4 Syllables. "Po-Ta-To Chips", Versus "Crisps". Yea, crisps are easier to say. Even the pringles here look different.



Oh well. Here's a picture of the place that I'm staying at.

I'm living on the 6th storey. Yeaps. One of the units of the right side.

Its a cloudy day ain't it. Heh heh. Colder today too.

Its 14 degrees. COlder.. Brr.

Singapore has twice that temprature.

# I'm a Christian. Anglican to be more precise. The traditional Christian. Christianity is not a religion, by the way. Its only a fact and way of life, but some people choose to live in delusion kinda like the matrix, or finally read the bible and realize the truth and becomes Christians. Rebuke me if I offend anyone, but a living God backs me. Hehe. Miracles beyond the doubt have happened. Cheers !
