August 30 2 weeks (in London)17- 22 Aug monday - had breakfast with Devon, he was here in London for 2 days. we met at St Pancras rail, then breakfast, then ice-cream, then sat in the park, then bid goodbye, then i lost my way at Grays Inn Rd to Russell Square. spent an hour try to walk out from the maze! grrrrr my 2nd time to lost all my directions in London.. no fun.. 'im hating London' i said. tuesday - normal day i thought. so i wore jeans with t-shirt. Bryn told me she's invited to the exhibition launch at Imperial War Museum, asked if i wanna go along too. i said YEAH. spent 2 hours there had tasty finger food, well-fed. but wonders why didnt she take the chance to social around abit. I can't be bothered to do that in this attire (blushing). wednesday - tv crew from Samoa came. it was a very hot day. they were really nice people, with a scottish crew too. im loving them. Bryn said she's going to the loo but took soo long just to find out she was trying to put some make up :P she looks lovely she certainly is. thursday - might be the last time using the SOAS library. finished scribbles of 6 pages then i left, i could do 10 pages usually, but hunger grips me. friday - went to the Jack the Ripper walk with Ahluah after work. i said to her, look, listen, i could hear clip-clop around, it's just putting me in the 19th century feel. she said she could hear nothing. but moments later she said yeah clip-clop is here.. SPOOKY! saturday - thinking about future and not having the UK degree now means quite difficult to work full time (equally difficult to get a job), or earn enough to feed myself. So yeah approached people in Shanghai. And thought there is the decision. But hang on, another offer pops up, but this one is gonna take ages to go through the interview. Feeling rather horrid to think of my stuffs again, where should they travel to. Some has to go back to Malaysia, e.g. books, and the rest like warm clothing might send to Shanghai but not before the post is definite. was quite reluctant when the idea of leaving the UK soon strikes me, but think it's the better option for me now given the current situation now is not so optimistic. the jobs have to feed the british then the EU then the non-EU... and 1 out of 6 youngsters here is unemployed! HOLY SHIT! told sis London is draining me poor, will have to leave within 2 months - but all yet to be planned. watched the Young Victoria. love the lines they play. Victoria and Albert, that's what we should think of everytime we visit the V&A museum, one of the museums i love in London. Prince Albert is of course, a nice man... and a German too... nothing exciting to report this week, apart from Mandy's visit. the lady who hosted me for a weekend was here in London with her daughter, the young lady looks listless, somewhat my own reflection when i was younger. and received the novel i ordered from Amazon, Wuthering Heights my favourite novel. wrote a complaint letter to the Southern train last week and said how disappointed i am with the service they render and they replied me with a sloppy letter, many many spelling mistakes in the letter, and, 10 pounds train voucher enclosed!!! YIPPIE!!! gonna use it tomorrow, and share 5-5 with Erica who was there with me when the incident happened couple of weeks ago, when we travelled from Ashtead to Waterloo, when we left Jon's birthday barbeque to the London Eye. will extend my placement with the museum until early Oct, to help them putting up the coming exhibition. Have got lots to do. Have been doing a research on some objects we have in the collection, then some documentation on the objects at store, involved with family activities, giving Hannah a hand, and helped Chris at the commercial store which keeps our art objects. Bryn says my written english is good, and Chris says my colloquial english is good. hmm, neither maybe. Chris is a very interesting person, about to retire soon! went to the commercial store with him yesterday, had so much to talk! me love the paintings and prints. and when it's time for lunch, the conversation went on. he quits the public sector when he was 50, went to a college, did his BA and then spent 7 years for his phD! Just AMAZING! so it's true when people say never too old to learn.
