My experience in London
It's great to travel in London especially with big gang of 'LJ' friends. No doubt it's fun 'killing', healing, spying and accusing each other when we are free :)
Mafia!!!
Visited some places like Tower Bridge, Madam Tussauds Wax Musuem, China Town, Eye of London, House of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Oxford circus, Picadilly circus, etc. Frankly speak, London hasn't impressed me too much yet. Mayb i'm from KL - another great city indeed.
However, i have to admit the transportation system in London is very good. Tube(rail) was my primary transportation and I'm amazed that almost every point in the big city is connected well by tube. Standing on the city of London, I could never believe there is another 'city' of railway system beneath me.
Didn't manage to visit a lot of places actually. I arrived London on the 23th late evening. By the time i sort out my tube travelcard (Oyster Card - don't ask me! i dont know why they call that Oyster card) and meet/have dinner (10 Pounds per person :'C ) at China Town, it's already too late to visit any shops. So we went to see Eye of London (from far), and House of Parliament (from outside). Then other places on 24th. Fact is Wax Musuem is the only place we actually paid and explore.
25th is Christmas - No transportations at all, no shops open at all. No food, no travel - we stayed at room to play 'mafia'. 26th is Boxing day. That means there are sales in UK!! Oxford circus (Oxford St) is where all branded shops gather, just imagine an outdoor Pavilion KL. Woke up super early to 'grab' goods like Esprit, Topman, Zara, Levi's, CKJ, Guess, Nike, Puma...... yeap, sales are up to 70% and still i'm only able to buy intermediate products.. .. Spent Rm 700 there =.=
27th woke up early - Back to Coventry =) ahh.. Cov football team just lost....
Interesting event: There is this Nike Town London - building for Nike products. We were chatting with a staff while shopping. Suddenly, the staff looked excited and said: "hey buddy where you get this spec?", "oh.. I bought it from Malaysia, some UK Optical Shop","wow it's really nice.." then more staffs came to see my spec and discuss =.= It seemed like having such spec is unbelievable and damn awesome. Well, never could I expect that. I come to think: could it be it's unbelievable because they have never created such product but someone happen to be wearing it?
Question: Is it a genuine product? =P
Create a football team? LOL

Spend money in UK
hmm.. surprisingly, there aint too much daily expenses to me. Food? well.. Indeed i spent less than what i did in Malaysia. It's only about 8 Ringgit now. However, I'm not those who don't enjoy life.. sometimes I do spend money to indulge my stomach :) that means a 1.99 item? like.. GoGo's chicken? well, note that 1.99 aint big money in UK. So averagely.... a 2.00 pounds per day?
fortunate enough for me to study in Coventry, and not London
I have almost everything necessary in the house coz I'm staying off campus, that means all household equipment provided by a kind local landlord. All i ever did was a 2.50 Pounds wok? 7 Pounds ironing board? yea..
In fact i'm getting the 3rd largest room in my area. (I suspect it's almost among all students of Warwick). Largest room would be the room above me, and second largest the room beside me. Three of us has largest living room in this area. Guess what, we're paying least. 260 per month INCLUSIVE bills.
fortunate for first year off campus student like us
Recently i'm obsessed about clothing though.. In fact, i have everything needed which i brought from Malaysia.
highest defence jacket(spaceman jacket, fat), trapper (hat) and glove i have... all very not fashionable and off brand
long johns which are sufficient for the winter (i think.. coz if not enough, just wear more..) note that i hate long johns.. ugly and not comfortable. kaki bulu very zo gai...
jeans i have, good looking pants i have, winter pants i have.. (winter pants + long john, 0 degree also nevermind lah.. sure boleh tahan.. just that leg a bit heavy lo)
well.. point is i hate fact that i have almost everything - means i cant buy .. i thought having a leather jacket is necessary.. well, dad suddenly bought it in China and mailed me.. well.. ok loh.. good also. happy.. saved my money..
so now's the plan. Buy myself a branded winter coat.. look nice and pro.. like this...
Ya... then i might not need to wear that fatty spaceman coat anymore. What else? I dont know lah.. shoes all have d. mayb an adidas jogging shoe? hmm.. or a real nice glove from Nike? or Everlast Beanie? yea.. you got it.. I'm obsessed about sports product now. very the.. I bought some :)
1. Slazenger Tennis Bag (i use for badminton)
2. Slazenger shower gel
3. Slazenger swimming suit
4. Nike goggle
5. Diadora jacket
6. Slazenger orange sports drink (hypertonic water)
Well, do not misunderstand. They're all not superior brand for the stuffs. But quality is still good in general. I bought all in necessity except the jacket. It's really nice and damn cheap. The bag is the cheapest in market now, i think i'm the only one who got that for this price. It's only 13 Pounds. try check out online.. Slazenger Quad Flex vs others. Swimming suit.. well i just get the cheapest.. shower gel got offer.. hey, kinda cool when u shower with sports gel after sports games.. google.. well, speedo is superior but choose nike coz suits me. Sports drink?? thirsty lo..Slazenger? Like i said.. it's coolest ever. why? we can discuss in detail soon :)

You Can't Tell What Will Happen Next
Many things are unpredictable. You Can't Tell What Will Happen Next!
Would like to share some cases.. they could be funny =P
Some of you may know I have a damn ugly must very 'tahan cold' jacket which i bought from China. The fat fat black jacket. Guess what. that saved me when i was sick.
Some day ago, i received a parcel from parents. they sent me two jackets. From the phone mom said she doesnt like one of them. It's the F1 Ferarri jacket - 'too red', too flowerish. She said dad claimed i will like it. (he's the one who bought the jacket)
Well, i thought.. mayb my dad knows me well? he would surprise me? or as usual.. just to cover his silly taste on shirts?
So.... i opened the parcel. oh no.... i cant accept it. it does not make me look smart.. size too big, not practical.. i laughed.. lol and i sent him a message: Chiam is disappointed on his dad's taste..
lol..
I lost my student travel card again. So unpredictable! i went tesco by bus (i used the card) to pick up a friend of mine. and when i wanted to come back, i realised the card was not with me. Within 30 minutes, lost...
So, I thought like last time, i would find it back in few days. This time i'm smart, i write down name (so they can tell me on facebook) and email (so they can email me). So, I should find it back easier compared ot last time. So unpredicatable.. coz i still haven't find it back. and i've spent quite a lot on transport these few days.
One more surprising thing is my housemate went to london - now i'm usnig his bike :) :) yes! no need to pay for bus!! hahahaha!!!!!
oh.. i din realise my another housemate drive MerC.. =.= just found out today.
Ok, what i want to say is, the fat black jacket can be used while i cycle to tahan extreme cold wind, and red Ferarri jacket can be used as safety jacket on a bike now because it's bright! because all my jacket is black! dangerous! haha..
