I have spent my last 3 days in the UK in London. Well, where else can i stay besides house of shanna, cheehwa, amos... They are the only Malaysian i know that still staying in London...
3 days before I left, me, cheehwa and crystal have some poker playing with amos's little bucket of coins... I taught them how to play at first, then they shown interest... afterward, cheehwa started to play poker on facebook. Well, he's becoming more addicted after playing a few rounds. Means that he's lying on his bed only with his laptop playing poker with other people online. Then it was crystal & amos. Never realise poker was that influential...
2 days before I left, me and cheehwa went out to piccadilly circus to do some shopping. Well I bought some souveniers for friends in segamat. Then we walked to Apple store to try on iPad which is amazing to me. Afterward, the sky of London started to rain, what a day ain't it. You thought you might get a sunny day during London summer time, well think again. As what some people usually said, "the UK weather is like the personality of a woman, you never know what you get." Rain shower, is what UK famous for, raining average 200 days per year. Sometimes you get cloudy and glommy days which is just not right...
At night, me, amos and shanna went for a gig of a local artist called mike rosenberg, the vocal of a band, passenger. Maybe he doesn't have the look (to be frank) but he does have the voice that you would never ever forget. The uniqueness of his voice is like listening to Damien Rice. The passion he given and the emotion he shown on that night makes every penny worth watching such a heart-pounding live show. I was first watch mike performing at the street of Bath with his tremondous vocal. How could such a person not in the list of fame. A day before the gig, I shown shanna his CD I bought at the street of Bath. She loved it so as others i guess. Then she found out his gig in London the next day at one of nearby pub which is great! I never thought I would be seeing mike performing again. After the show, leaving the English Pub only with his songs floating in my mind.
On the way back to shanna's house, I saw a fish and chips shop which is almost similar to the one I like in Tooting Broadway. Then I thought I'm going for a last British-made fish and chips before I leave the UK. But it wasn't as good as the one I have near Tooting Broadway. I sometimes have one of those everytime I visit SC near Tooting. But what a day it was, filled with English taste ain't it? the rain, the gig in a pub; and the fish and chips...
On my last day, saying goodbye to shanna, amos and crystal before I left the building. Cheehwa was such a good lad, give me company til the airport, I thought I was leaving alone really... But thanks really to cheehwa, shana, amos and crystal spending these last few days with me before I left this lovely place. I never felt that hard feeling thinking about leaving this place when I was in Bristol and London. But after I get on a plane, I realised I have been given a lot of things here and some good memories were given by this place & the people... I would never get a chance to travel europe with easyjet, there'll be no more Sainsbury's in Malaysia, no more cheap lager, ale, no more fast internet connection, no more ebaying.... Damn... I really gonna missed this place...
Good Bye n Thank you, UK...
