Good Morning

It was my second day here. I woke up 630 in the morning to have a short conversation with my family. Then i headed for breakfast. Im sure u could guess it-- yup, cereals! I dun really think that cereals are filling, but i had no choice. To fill my little stomach better, i had toasts and salads. N fruit punch. THis was like not the kind of breakfast that we wil have in msia. Anyway, the portion was enormous n i ended up wasting lots of food all the time.

Followed by that, i went to coventry with sum of my sg frens. I think we were quite brave enuf to go there as it's like we were all so new to this place. Nevertheless i followed them up the bus n payed 2.6pounds for the daysaver ticket. Actually i ve not been on a bus frequently, as we used to drive in msia hmm.. N there's lots of lots of walking involved here. Last time, i ll jz drive though to the marina shop which is in front of my hs, n now i ve been walking for 15-20 mins to a destinatino mb?? Anyway, i was like so amazed to see buildings n houses in coventry. The biggest difference is that their walls of made of stones. This made the building so historical, so nice and so 'wow'.. On my way i saw the most familiar thing, which is McDonalds!!! Haha.. N behind it was Pizza Hut n oso one of my fav, which is KFC!!! Im crazy of fastfood hoo.. Actually not.

I forgot how long did the journey take, as i was busy taking pictures. Hehe.. Sorry. But once we reached coventry, we had our lunch. We chose Noodle Bar as it is one of the recommendations frm the seniors. The restaurant was decorated in quite a chinese style. N the menu has both mandarin n english. I ordered for a 'char hor fun' which costed me like 5.8pounds. N sum of my frens had fried rice, curry noodles, duck rice etc. In a nutshell, all these r like so familiar food of us. N i really felt that i ve not eaten rice nor noodles for a long long time.. But anyway, i think the food we have in msia are fantastic... Shudnt have grumbled so much when im enjoying all that in msia hmm..

After satisfying our 'food'sick, we headed to phone shops to hunt for uk mobile nos. Well, without much delay, i got mine, since it was like cheap for both international o local calls. Mutual benefits.. But one thing which is quite extraordinary is that, u r unable to choose ur desired no here. N u onli know ur no after u opened ur pack, n of course, once opened, it's non-refundable. WEll, luckily the no i got wasnt too bad. N it ended with the digit '5' too, which i like very much.
Ever since most of my frens n i have our nos ending with '5' like yong, lin, ying etc.. So i would really like to keep the connection here.
Anyway we spent quite sum time in coventry, but doing nthing much. Cuz we took such tm to familiarise the place o looking for destinations. Anyway, we went back to uni for the orientation games in the evening. THe games were not too bad. My hat goes to Tracy who tried the rock climbing. If u noe me well, i wasnt daring enuf to try it. But after that i was quite regret for not trying.. Haiz.. Cuz it's like a golden chance to try everything n esp when it's free.. ANyway, it's history now..
After dinner it was just more unpacking. It was free time for myself and i blogged this post for all of u, hope u guys enjoy it =P
