today i woke up at 8am.
after getting myself prepared and having some sweet as my breakfast (LOL), i make a move around around 8.50am to attend the last E-Business Management (EBM) lecture at Adsetts center.
somehow i was "speechless" in some ways when the news that i went to Sheffield Spearmint Rhino club yesterday's being spread as i have done something "guilty" but it no use to explain myself about it. (T.T)
well, the morning EBM lecture was about the exam revision for next week Tuesday 3th September 2013 final examination in Hallam Hall, Level 6, Owen Building, City Campus.
then i just recorded the lecture because i afraid i might forget the points but it was already started in the halfway as shown below.

well, the voice was quite low since i sat at behind and the tutor did scold when people was talking.

after the class end, we went to the Adsetts Library to print out our PIC group assignment and each of us paid £0.50 for the printing fee.
well, there printers seems to be out of ink when a lot people was printing but luckily the staff refunded our money when some our printed assignment has worn out some ink.
around 12pm we submit our PIC group assignment at Stoddart center.
then i make a move to Castle Market to buy some groceries and spend about £2 there.
finally i arrived back home at 12.40pm and cooked some instant noodle as my lunch although i know it is not healthy to eat such food again. (but i like the seasoning~ >.<)
besides, i just heard a friend shared some news about someone had gamble and had lost about £500+ in Genting Casino Sheffield.

therefore this had prove that why Genting Casino can earn so much money no matter it is in Malaysia or anywhere else because the nature of human is greed.
around 1.55pm i make a move from home and went to attend the EBM seminar class.
well, the tutorial class was all about the final exam revision again and i start to feel very stress when come to study just like the clipart picture as shown below.

somehow i just manage to record down just a important point for past year revision question 3 which is about "Critically assess the extent to which e-technology enable growth in online privacy invasion and consider what the impact on e-commerce might be" as shown below.

on the other hand, the privacy issue that mention on the seminar class do make me think about myself what about the benefits for disclosing so much information in the social networking sites.

for example, we can't really just walk out from being "bullied online" because we don't event know who is spying or stalking us in the online world.
moreover, when the the invasion of privacy being invaded, it might cause you to lose a job if you share too much honest opinion in the internet using your real identity instead of an anonymous when most of the company monitor their employee.
in addition, do we really care about whether our privacy being invaded or not and she was true that most of us don't even bother about it when we post our status on the social media but we would start to regret about it when something happen went wrong.
seriously i was wondering whether i can die write out so many point or not based on my opinion during the exam period although i had been blogging a lot.

perhaps this is the time to really test myself whether blogging can help me to increase my opinion in the academic studies.
anyways, the tutor was right that we need to keep telling ourselves that WE CAN DO IT for our final exam instead of keep thinking you can't because the answer can be answer in quite a logical way.
around 4.20pm i arrived back home and just quickly update the Sheffield Fayre event at Norfolk Heritage Park blog post as i had delayed it again.
then i just watched the 33rd episode of "Triumph In The Skies 2" (衝上雲霄II) HK drama as shown below.

well, this episode was quite "geli" goosebumps again in somewhere about Roy and his partner.
around 7.45pm i went to my friend house to cook my dinner and just liked the mushroom soup poured into fried chicken with rice.

finally i arrived back home at 9.40pm.
then i just watch some information and Youtube video as i would like to share a very meaningful video about "Pendulum Touching Short Animation" that will make you cry as shown below or the link >>> Here.

seriously my tears seems to be almost start to drop when i was watching the video because it just show a life of a man going through his life and faced a lot of obstacles with the limited time together with her wife as i would strongly recommend anyone to watch it. (Prepare your tissues)
later on, i do feel tired and eventually fall asleep until next day when i just want to rest for a while.
overall today's don't really have much things happened since it was all about the EBM exam revision day.
hopefully this all things will get over and the future happening will be keep going on smoothly.

today i woke up at 4.40am.
somehow i was feeling quite "shock" that i can automatically wake up at such time which might probably due "exam stress" coming soon although i had accidentally slept early yesterday.
anyways, i ate some bread with Nutella chocolate jam as my breakfast.
then i just went to update the Spearmint Rhino club and Exam Revision Day blog post in a draft mode since there is no class for today.
after that, i would be looking some information and news as usual.
well, there was a sad news happened which is about a Tarc College girl had committed suicide due to a failed result when a lot people share about it.
while looking through the comments and feedback, i saw some of them just scolded that it was a stupid act.

somehow i think the reason that she had choose the "death" road was probably because she don't have any friend to give her advice and comfort her when she was in a very down and despair feeling.
frankly speaking, i do have such a "dying feeling" childish thought before if you ever read my "I Want To Die When I Fail?" in Tarc exam blog post but luckily it was just a thought on that moment as i would think about that i still have my parents, people who care for me and some blogging friend although i don't know who is them in real life.
perhaps the ways to prevent teenager suicidal case happened was to provide more caring to others people that couldn't handle their stress well?
around 12.45pm i went to my friend house to cook some hams, egg, sausage with hams as my lunch and arrive home at 1.20pm.
after that, we make a move at 2pm to the nearby electronic shop as my friend would like to buy a camera.

it seems there was not much model available at Currys electronic shop and my friend wants to go to Meadowhall leisure shopping mall as they would be having more range.
somehow there seems to be a little "arguments" but i had followed another friend as i think it would be better if i accompany him as i also want to look for something in the shopping center.
besides, i just feel myself seems to be "have start, have end" (有头，有尾) because i had visited the Meadowhall shopping centre during my first week and now come back again at the last week before exam.
well, we just waited at the bus stop in front our hostel for the A1 bus schedule as shown below.

however, it seems that the bus arrival time was not very punctual when it came at 3.15pm.
anyways, the bus travel journey time to Meadowhall from Sheffield require about 25 minutes if the traffic was not congested and you just need to show your student ID to the bus driver for getting a £0.70 bus fare price.

when we arrived there at 3.40pm looking at my phone's GPS, i just took around the surrounding picture together with the walkaway and some interior as shown below.

then we find the direction from the indoor map to Currys electronic shop.
well, after looking a various type of camera price range from semi pro, DSLR professional type camera, my friend had choose the D600 model as shown below.

honestly, i feel to buy one too but i did not have enough money if i spend about £400 to buy one DSLR professional camera as i had been "talking want to buy it" long time ago.
besides, i just feel that the customer service there seems to be not very good which if compared with the salesman in Malaysia that would try every effort to sell the product even if the customer did not buy it.
moreover, the staff seems to be not very know about the details information for the camera model.

guess there is no extra commission for the staff if they success sell the product?
furthermore, i just get to know that there was a 20% VAT cash refund of £50 if the things you buy cost below £450 and the range would be go further based on the list.
after that, we just walk around the TKmaxx but there was no available size for me.
moreover, i just saw the Forex rate to change Euro dollar from GBP seems to be not very high as it just shown below.

around 6.50pm we make a move from there and waited at the D4 bus stop for A1 bus as shown below.

i was feeling quite tired and take a nap inside the bus but they did not stop at the front of our hostel which end up at the Sheffield Interchange bus station.
finally i arrived back home at 7.35pm.

somehow i just manage to watch a little for the 34th episode of "Triumph In The Skies 2" (衝上雲霄II) HK drama as shown below.

then i went to my friend house to cook some spaghetti with pineapple, hams, sausage and black seasoning sauce as my dinner as shown below.

upon arrived back home, i just took the E-Business Management book and went to my friend house again to copy some of the note that i had miss out.
well, the feelings of studying and copying note was quite "stress" just like the picture shown below.

finally i arrived back home at 12.45am after take the things that i buy at Sports Direct (SD) for £20 as shown below.

well, it seems that not very worth for the things that i bought from SD because there was no longer a unique feeling when i gave those gifts to my Malaysian friends.
overall today's feeling was just moderate only since the exam is coming soon but i should be thinking it in a more positive way right?

today i woke up at 7.55am.
then i just have some bread with Nutella chocolate jam as my breakfast.
around 8.50am i make a move from hostel and went to attend the last Strategic Marketing Management (SMM) lecture at Adsetts Centre.
well, the morning lecture teaches about the overall module guideline review was to prepare for our final SMM examination next week.
somehow i felt that there was a few quotes that is quite meaningful such as "It is not just a matter of being different, success comes from being different in a way customer want" (Philip Kotler) and "If you can't keep the customer you have, you don't deserve any new one" which sound quite reasonable.
anyways, i think total product concept and Herzberg's hygiene with motivators factors was important.

besides, i just recorded the last lecture on a podcast mode as shown below.

after the class, i followed my friend to few foreign exchange (Forex) money changer shop to check out the rates because we will be using Euro (€) dollar for the Tong Hang Europe trip in next few week time after our final examination ends.
somehow i do feel that this might be the reason why Malaysian currency value keep depreciate when more and more demand for foreign currency such as Great Britain Pound (GBP) and Euro (EUR) keep increase or a lot people changing for it.
at the end, we decided to choose Kanoo Foreign Exchange service that located near to Stoddart Sheffield building because they offered £1 = €1.15 if we exchange a minimum amount of €3500 in total instead of €1.1415+ at the other places.

after that, we went to Barclay's bank to withdraw some money and i seems to forget my ATM password because i never withdraw before from there.

therefore i had entered 3 times invalid PIN number and the staff say they will issue a new card for me that would arrive in 5 days time.

however, i was lucky that i had bring my passport together and they allowed me to withdraw the money without using the ATM as i had withdraw £400 for exchanging the Euro as shown below.

it is because i had estimated that i would use about €500 throughout the whole 15 days trip.

actually i feel that everything was linked in somewhere because at first i was planning to get the get the Free Genting Casino Sheffield membership card as now it is quite coincidence that i had bring my passport together for the Barclay's bank usage.

around 11.20am we went to attend the SMM tutorial and the tutor distributed our group assignment marks.
somehow we just get about 57% and the tutor just briefly explain some exam guidance to us although i feel that there is not much guide especially the exam tips.(有讲等于没有讲)
after the class end, we just waited for some friend to gather for going to the Kanoo shop.
besides, i just saw person who was quite family and realized he was one of my a senior in secondary school as he was studying Master certification now at SHU.
well, he just shared some of his personal experience and i do have a little "butthurt" as he say China people who came to study here is so easy "open minded" to mix around.
actually the "open minded" was referring to those 18++ things such as if you managed to chase a China girl here, you can easily have the "night bed activities" within 2 weeks dating if you know what i means.

however, you need to keep on going to the "night club" and related 18+ club in order to find the "prey" (girl) that is very "wild" in term of "something".
seriously i was totally speechless because my UK experience is totally different as i did not encounter such thing which probably due to my own introvert personality.
in fact, if i am "that kind of guy", i wouldn't probably sitting here writing about my life because "those guy" was too busy on cheating chasing girl where they don't even have the time to online.
on the other hand, he told me that the academic in Sheffield Hallam University was so easy to pass because there was some "exact exam guidance" given but i just wondering why such "good thing" did not happen to me as our tutor did not disclose our exam question.
somehow this just make me wondering whether that education was just a tools to "cheat" people money?

anyways, i still feeling quite worry about my exam and feel pressure because if it is so easy to pass to get a degree, then i would be totally useless if i fail this exam together with my previous lowest coursework mark?
after all friend arrived, we went to Konoo Foreign Exchange and waited for some time to get our money as i had exchanged all the £400 and get the Euro as shown below.

somehow i do heard some friend had lose about £200 when gambling at Genting Casino Sheffield and i do wonder why they can have such "bravery" to risk.
anyways, i just went to the casino and apply the Free Genting Rewards membership card as shown below.

the benefits of getting this card would be getting some free juice even if you did not play and the people around there was quite less when i arrive although i did not play since i have not much $$ left.
therefore i can conclude that those people who have extra money have higher chances to go gambling.

it is because if you don't have money, how would you have the money to gamble? (except borrow from loan shark or anyone that is without own earning power)
furthermore, i do heard that a lot of friend was talking about finding job and it would be great if we can work in Singapore which somehow make me wonder that the objective for all Malaysian who had spend a lot of money on education was to sell "ourselves" to Singapore market in the future?
after that, i decided to have my lunch at the Penny Black Pub Sheffield because there was a promotion of £6.99 for 2 sets of fish and chips meal as shown below.

actually i planned to go to this restaurant when i saw the promotion long time ago since 9th August where we went to the Old Queen's Head restaurant last time as the Penny Black restaurant's fish and chip was not available during that time.

well, the portion of the fish and chips promotion was quite big than Old Queen's Head restaurant as you can see picture below. (each person just need to pay for £3.50)

besides, the price was considered quite okay as you can see from the menu range less than £5 as below.

anyways, below was the detailed information the Penny Black restaurant which just located beside the Royal Mail post office.
____________________________________

____________________________________
finally i arrived back home at 2.30pm and quickly turn on my Skype to chat with my parents and sibling because it would be late soon in Malaysia time.

somehow i just feel a little "down" when my brother say that "You got opportunity to go UK study and travel to Europe trip already consider very good liao, why you want keep compare with people who went to other nicer place such as Scotland, Barcelona and other more" which left me speechless.
moreover, he also asked me whether i got count my own budget or not and i was speechless again because i can't disclose my blog to him as it was too private in some ways.
therefore his perception was i might be simply spending money in UK and don't even count the money i spend out but the fact was i had written every single details of the money that i had spend everyday.
anyways, we just continue to have some chat for about almost 1 hour and i was speechless in a lot of stuff because i seems to be not very happy studying in UK after spending so much $$ here.
in fact, i believe everyone life objective was to be happy right as i just comfort myself to be happy more.

guess i didn't change my mindset after all the things that i encounter?
during the evening, i just spend a little time to watch the Naruto anime and the 35th episode of "Triumph In The Skies 2" (衝上雲霄II) HK drama as shown below.

well, i don't really watch much for this episode because i watched in a "skip mode" due to my limited time.
regarding the Sheffield Spearmint Rhino Gentlemen's Strip Club experiences, i do get some criticize when i say that "guy who go for prostitution" is bad guy.
there was a person replied to me that "Come, let me change your perception, lets think the other way round.
If there is only so called good guy in this world, how do those girl going to earn money and feed their family back at their country? You had to understand, not everyone is as fortune as you, many prostitute work to feed empty stomach back home" and i was speechless.

another person that comment also gave me a "butthurt" feelings when he say that i was just a "Foreveralone = wanna get laid = tak mau pergi cheong = see nekkid show = didi naik = kenot pass through his own self dignity = sadding on his own" and i was speechless again.
in addition, they just recommended me to watch a movie that titled "Due West: Our Sex Journey (2012)" as the synopsis was about after breaking up with girlfriend Zeta, Frankie heads north for prostitution where he meets an attractive girl Celia and develops feeling for her as below.

moreover, the trailer of the "3D情色電影《一路向西》全球首創女性專用預告" from Youtube seems to be quite "interesting" in term of sex position and other story as below or the link >>> Here.

therefore i just watched a while the movie with a "fast watch skip" skills.
somehow it just left me a lot of thought again although i just briefly watch it.

it is because the main actor on the movie seems to be having the "good guy image" at first but changed his personality after being influence by his friend for being hypocrite by breaking all the moral values he got throughout her 25 years old living in life.
seriously i do afraid that i would be the hypocrite guy one day just like what being shown in the movie with a "good guy image" but what i can confirm now was at least in this moment, this date, this time, today as i still having my own good guy image without cheating any girl or doing any 18++ night activities.
besides, the movie did reflect some of the real life example such as if you're salesperson and your client was that type of guy who always call for hookers or prostitute, you need to have some knowledge in this field too if you want to do that client business for signing any big contract. (actually this things is based on what i heard at other department when i was working in some company last time)

moreover, the movie seems to be reflecting the ugly truth about the our current generation mindset that as long as you got money, you can get any girls you like but mostly happening in China.
therefore this might explain why some guy preferring going single and prostitution would be their motivation to continue work for more money as i heard from others people voices.
anyways, i can't share the video link in my blog because the video contain 18++ nude image and sex scene but you can "Google it yourself" for the related keyword.
overall i just can say that it might be true that a Guy only got 2 thing to worry about in his mind that is MONEY OR GIRL problem.
honestly, i do admit that i did watch porn but i prefer those 18+ movie with sad story line although i know it is not good things to say about.

perhaps it was true that guy would be tired of "fap/DIY/masturbation" and eventually be less interest about it as he would be wanting some "real stuff" rather than fake feelings?
furthermore, the influence by the people surrounding can also change a person personality as they would keep "persuading you" just like saying "never try never know" or any other luring words.
seriously i was trying so hard to "throw all the negative thought" out from my mind because it would be devour me soon if i did not change.
around 8pm i went to my friend house to cook some spaghetti with noodle as my dinner.
later on, i went to his house again at 9.50pm to copy some SMM notes.
finally i arrived back home at 1am after the copying session.

before end my post, below was the podcast recording of Chan Fong "大城心事" for every Friday.

______________________________________________
1) 第一位：陈小姐〜她打电话来只是问问关于明天的慈善活动的详情。

2) 第二位：Alan（30歲）～他在目前的公司已經八年了，想離開但是卻又捨不得。
【陳峰大哥告訴他可以去嘗試轉工，但前提必須要先搞清楚到底是自己個人的條件問題還是公司或制度上的問題】>>> Here.

3) 第三位：阿偉～和前女友分手后不久又另結新歡，現在心裡還是掛著前度女友的感情還無法完全抽身離開就和新女友開始了這段新戀情。【陳峰大哥大致上就是認為他的前度女友根本就不適合他，他應該認清真相走出過去的狀態活在未來；不需要再繼續猶豫不決纏繞在不必要的問題上】>>> Here.

4) 第四位：阿Chai～他說自己在外面公幹時不小心偷吃然後還意外有了孩子，但是他的太太依然蒙在鼓裡不知事情背後的真相；因為他深怕太太知道后無法接受事實然後導致病發作的可能性。【陳峰大哥提出兩個選擇給他：1) 把小老婆的孩子送給別人領養 or 2) 把太太和家人轉接過去他目前的工作環境那裡一起同住】>>> Here.

5) 第五位：Kelly（她是之前在《早點心事》被陳峰大哥選中回答問題的一位聽眾）～因為上次睡不醒沒聽見陳峰大哥在空中的回到所以這次親自撥電話進來和陳峰大哥溝通。她的情況是自己有過兩段失敗的婚姻然後不懂現在要怎樣處理和前夫的孩子。【陳峰大哥給她的建議就是倒不如把和前夫的孩子交給對方或他的家人照顧，因為說穿了她自己的經濟沒有能力負擔而且也沒有太多的時間能夠去照顧和管教孩子】>>> Here.

6) 第六位：陳小姐～她說自己曾經生了一場大病另外還差點出嚴重車禍，當時她的感受就是親情應該更靠近一些，於是就選擇去吉隆坡和他團聚。怎知道婚後的丈夫因為已經習慣了一個人的精彩而開始呈現行為和思想上出軌的現象；她現在覺得這樣的婚姻關係有點困難甚至很辛苦繼續維持長久。【陳峰大哥聽完她的故事好，覺得她應該可以選擇離婚或許會比較適合，像她目前的婚姻狀況其實問題大多數是出在丈夫根本就已經不在乎配合維持倆者之間的關係而產生的距離；問題早就存在著根本就不是婚後才開始變質的】>>> Here.

7) 第七位：阿平（上個星期才打過電話進來的）～他這次打電話進來是想問陳峰大哥要怎樣做一件事可以堅持到最後。【陳峰大哥覺得他毅力不夠，需要再接受和和嘗試更多的失敗才能迎向成功的機會】

8) 第八位：阿華～她當初因為爲了幫爸爸把屋子拿去銀行抵押套現還債，後來是因為一些狀況持續的發生導致現在自己很辛苦再把屋子重新贖回來。【陳峰大哥認為，如果他還有能量撐下去最好還是堅持把屋子慢慢的贖回來比較好，比較現在雪隆區一帶的屋價不菲，有錢未必買得到。如果經濟能力上還能支持的話就應該要把握機會爭取最後的機會重奪】Part 7 + 8 >>> Here.

Happy Merdeka Day In Sheffield 2013

today i woke up at 7.30am.
somehow i manage to finish eat the bread because the expire date was today with the Nutella chocolate jam.
then i just update back my yesterday's Penny Black restaurant post although i has been keep delayed updating myself as i was competing with the limited time.
well, today was the National day for every Malaysian which is also known as "Hari Merdeka" (Independence Day) commemorating the independence of the Federation of Malaya from British colonial rule in 1957, celebrated on August 31 each year according to Wiki.
in fact, this should not be confused with Hari Malaysia (Malaysia Day) when Malaysia was formed on 16 September 1963 together by Federation of Malaya, Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore.
therefore i would like to wish every Malaysia a Happy Merdeka Day.

besides, Google Malaysia also have their doodle specially created for this day as shown below.

actually writing this post feeling seems to be a yearly routine for me when i read back my "Happy Merdeka Day 2012" blog post from last time although the logo keep changing every year as shown below.

it seems that i did not change much in term of "something" as i am trying to "hide it" and only myself would really know why i keep "holding that thing" although i had said that i am totally let go and forget about it.
moreover, one of the meaningful Chinese quotes about "一个人总要有个新的开始，别让过去把你栓在悲哀的殿堂。别说你最爱的是谁，人生还很长，谁也无法预知明天。好聚好散，每个人都有自己的无奈。活着不是为了怀念昨天，而是要等待希望。哭完就把一切都留在昨天，永远不要去触及" seems to be still unchanged and it is quite sucks to say one thing but did not change at all.
could you able to imagine that one year from now, you still writing the almost same thing from today?

on the other hand, today was also the birthday of Hatsune Miku and i would like to wish "it" Happy Birthday because it was just a vocaloid that is not exists in real life as shown below.

around 1pm i went to cook some instant noodle as my lunch and have some chat with a friend.
somehow i just comfort myself to be grateful about the place that i travel during my stay in UK although not able to go some farther place such as Sunderland, Isle of Skye and others place.
actually i was wondering myself whether i come to UK to study or travel because it seems that everybody is focusing on traveling and myself seems to struggling for balancing the time between travel and study.
around 2.20pm i make a move from hostel with friends because need to print my London's bus ticket at the library and buy some ingredient for cooking.
well, i do feel quite worry when lend a friend £200 as he faced some transaction failed from Barclay's bank.

honestly, i don't really like to people money but i has no reason to reject since we has been friend for long time ago.
after that, i decided to buy the Whitby's crab as for our Merdeka celebration at Sheffield at Simmonite's butchers and fishmongers shop in Division Street.
upon arrived there, i was doubting whether want to buy or not when see the live crabs because the staff there say they will not help us to "kill" the crab as shown below.

therefore i just move away from there and meet up with my friend at Thomas Cook's money exchange shop.
well, it seems that it is better to put some EUR (€) currency to the Thomas Cook Mastercard because they said will freeze all the money inside if your card has been stolen which is definitely better to take all EUR cash to Europe trip although there is a surcharge of €2 if withdraw directly from the card.

when i was doubting whether to "kill crab or not to kill crab", my friend say that he would help me to kill the crab when i had a sense of feeling "guilty" to buy the crab. (talking to myself that i am hypocrite again because i still can choose not to buy it)
anyways, i end up bought two Whitby's live crabs for £6 when i check the Simmonite shop opened seven days a week, from 7am to 7pm as i thought it was closed and finally arrived back home at 4.45pm.
around 5pm i phoned back my mother because it was already 12am in Malaysia time which is her birthday at 1st of September every year and i wish her Happy Birthday.
furthermore, we will be going out to celebrate my mother birthday at the restaurant when i read back my "Celebrate Mother Birthday 2012" post but not this time because i still in Sheffield, UK.
actually i do understand that i shouldn't keep referring to my past story in order to forget "something".

besides, there's was a bee flying into my room from the hostel's window but luckily i manage to catch it and released it out as shown below.

perhaps i shouldn't keep open the hostel's room window at first because i wouldn't know what insect will fly in and i do admit that i afraid of some insect especially the cockroach.
around 6.30pm i went to my friend's house and watched the "killing crab scene" as shown below.

however, i do feel myself seems to be assisted (帮凶) to kill the crabs because i was in charge to brush the dirt on the crab with toothbrush although i know it was quite cruel.
perhaps it was due to that i have do a little "last kill" when stab the knife on the almost death crab?
somehow it just make me think about how my mother feeling's of killing those crabs last time at hometown just to fulfill our request to eat crabs.

seriously i just feel "weird" about myself that why eat crab also can think so much of things and why i don't feel guilty when i order crabs in the restaurant?
during the night, i start to cook the crab and do feel having a bit of achievement when manage to cook the tomato sauce, sweet sour pineapple and egg crab dish as shown below.

somehow i do feel that there seems to lack of "something" although it was our last sharing dinner.
around 8.50pm i arrived back home and read some exam things although i like to see information news.
regarding the "Gentlemen's Club" post, i do received a feedback saying that "About GF thingy, time will come naturally, take care of yourself and don't be choosy. You want to experience some lovey dovey thing before you commit yourself or wanna get laid. I can frankly tell you want to have experience of getting laid with the one you love" which is quite meaningful.

in conclusion, i think i have realize something about the sharing food cost thing and the moral lesson here for next year student would be don't be so calculative when contributing more food if you're sharing with friends.
it is because i had seen few "argument" happened due to "food sharing" issues and people personality.
somehow i do recall back what a senior said to me about his experiences for backpacking with few friends was probably because "sharing anything" issues where he just spend £1500 total for a two month backpacking experiences.
therefore my advice to future Tarcian junior who will be coming to SHU next year shall expect to allocated extra £30 total for "give and take friendship cost" and should have the heart to lose more because the more you lose, you might able to get more in return. (只要你吃亏得多，你会得到更多)
however, it is still very subjective to say such thing because different people having different personality.

later on, there was a small gathering in the common room and i saw a lot people going there although i did not join which seems like a small farewell gathering.
overall today was just consider quite okay as i was celebrating Merdeka Day with crabs in Sheffield hostel.
before i end my post, i would like to share something positive such as "15 things to give up to give up" as myself was totally speechless again when i have few of the weakness as shown below.

while counting my total 3 month expenses on this last day of 31st of August, it seems that i have used £1556.50 out of the £2300 total amount that i bring to UK.
somehow the total £2300 was quite match with my current balance after using the £1556.50 for total 3 month, adding £400 to exchange €460, add another £200 when lend a friend $$, Barclay's bank left £60.90, cash left £45, friend owe me £12.20 and the rest £25.40 (give and take) would be my unknown or miscalculate expenditure. (guess i am the only one who calculate until so precisely or i am a calculative person? =.=)
therefore i shall keep monitor my $$ although most of my friend had bring more money to spend here as i heard some even have bring £7000 or even unlimited since came from rich family background.
(Self Expenses note: Today £6, Yesterday total £177.20, Total up to date £183.20)
[Total June expenses (£333.80) + Total July expenses (£1039.50) + Total August expenses (£183.20) = Total three month (£1556.50) and will reset to £0 for September expenses]

today i woke up at 9.50am.
then i just eat some Digestive chocolate biscuit as my breakfast.
after procrastinate a while in the morning, i decided to force myself to study with a friend for final exam because i couldn't focus much when i was sitting in front of my computer with the books.
around 11.55pm i went to my friend house to study and paid £2.30 for the sharing birthday cake party with others ingredient cost.
as i start writing for the business to consumer (B2C) opportunity and challenges with the ways to acquire, return and extend relationship using the e-technology, i start to realize my own capabilities but it seems that i just manage to write about one and half full page within 1 hour time.
then i just compare my answer with my friend and learned something that i did not include inside.

somehow i realize that during the moment i writing for the answer, there is some "distraction thought" (杂念) ongoing my mind that resulted me to write so less.
seriously this might be the "side effect of blogging too much" because i feel that when i doing this whole things in long term, it would affect my thought in someways and not much people would understand about it. (guess there was no other choice but other than quit writing my blog?)
around 2.50pm i go back home and just have some Digestive biscuit again for my lunch because i seems to don't have much appetite to eat.
after rested for some time, i make a move to my friend house again around 4.20pm and continue to practice the question in term of how e-technologies can help to reduce supply chain costs, increase efficiency and support collaborative commerce.

well, i seems to be still having some "distraction thought" again but this time i manage to write 2 page in one hour time.
it is because the E-Business Management final exam would have 2 question which carries 50% marks each and i heard some friend say that it is recommended to write 4 page for each question.
therefore i start to measure my own capabilities on writing it with 1 hour time limits for each question.
around 6.55pm i go back home to rest a while and went to my friend house again at 7.40pm.
then i just cook some spaghetti with black soya sauce as my dinner.
somehow i felt that maybe i shall choose to eat the spaghetti instead of instant noodle from the beginning because it was cheap for £0.19 for a packet while more healthy than instant noodle.
after the dinner, i do have some great conversation about everyone travel journey with a bunch of friends.

well, the conversation was actually about gossiping about others people and i just feel that everyone is not perfect including myself.
frankly speaking, i do feel "jelly" about how some guy can keep trying to chase some girls because this might be the last chance to chase girl from college.
perhaps it is due to most of the guys do know that after this study life end, it would be more even hard to chase girl because we don't know those girl's came from what kind of background and stories.
honestly, i didn't do any effort in think or chasing girl throughout my whole experience of studying in Sheffield Hallam University Tarc degree summer program partly because of the thought that i still have a lot of weakness within myself as if i can't take care about myself first, how would i think about other girl?
anyways, it seems that my thought is still quite unquestionable until this moment.

however, if really, really want to say whether i have any feelings among the girls, i think it would be the short hair girl because she does make me remind of "someone" that i already know i shouldn't think about it.
moreover, i would feel it was like finding a "replacement" (代替者) instead of finding love when myself seems to don't believe about what people say for the "true love" definition.
furthermore, if you don't have "love", how would you love others?  (心中没有爱，怎样爱？)
perhaps i was too naive to think there's was "true love" in our Generation Y when the information is too much and too convenience to find anyone using the social media website compared to the older generation.
anyways, i would like to share a touching short animation as shown below or the link >>> Here.

somehow the short clips might reflect the life journey of a young guy and i believe every guy would want to find the girl who can walk together with them until the end of the life (白头到老) right?

in addition, i think that girl would also like to hang out with those guys who can make them happy in life.
after some moment, i decided to go back my house when i don't feel like listening to more gossip stories as it would make me to think more.
upon arrive home, i just feel a little uneasy when being "shoot" by a friend saying that "i haven start to walk, already think to fly" (还没学会走，想要飞) when i told him that i just started to do the question without reading much of the book.
in fact, i was not really happy about it and wondering whether is the people i meet was not really that good and maybe this is the reason why most of the AEM boycott him last time party because of the talking attitude and personality.
anyways, i just told myself don't be so particular thinking about what other's people say.

later on, i went to my friend house again to discuss the EBM question a while and finally arrived back home at 11.30pm.
then i just quickly update my yesterday's Celebration Merdeka in Sheffield post and went to sleep.
before i end my post, i would like to share a meaningful sentences which is "Give yourself permission to immediately walk away from anything that gives you bad vibes, there is no need to explain or make sense of it, just trust the little inner voice when it talks to you" as shown below.

it is because i feel that the scenario would be getting more worst if i explain more about myself.
overall the things that i encounter for today was not really good as when i forcing myself to study and feel quite stress because there is one more day to study before the final exam start at 3rd September 2013.
anyways, i just told myself that i can definitely do it for this exam as it would be my last examination before my working start soon in future.
(Self Expenses note for new month September in UK: Today £2.30, Yesterday total £0, Total up to date £2.30)

today i woke up at 6.30am.
somehow i was feeling quite stress due to the E-Business Management (EBM) final examination for tomorrow because that is all the things that really matter for my 3 month of studying here at Sheffield.
after having some Digestive biscuit as my breakfast, i went to Adsetts library to return the book with one of my friend around 9.05am.
then i went to settle some STA flight ticket related things for deciding the time to travel back to Malaysia.
after that, we went to Aldi supermarket to buy something as we arrived at 9.45am.
well, i just buy some food groceries again such as the cheapest spaghetti for £0.19 per pack, crabstick, hotdog and others as i had spend about £3.20 total for the goods.
next, we just took Freebee bus back to Castle Market and bought something again.

around 10.55am i arrived back home and went to my friend house to cook Spaghetti with black soya sauce as my lunch.
then i went to settle my clothes laundry around 1.20pm and i just feel my time was limited again.
besides, i just saw a news that the Ron 95 petrol price in Malaysia had increase RM0.20 per litre effective from tonight's midnight and get a lot of criticism from the people to the government.
in my opinion, i just feel that it would be harder for poor people because everything will eventually increase but salary seems to be did not increase at all.

perhaps this is the reason why poor people will continue to be more poorer while rich people will become more richer.

anyways, i just forced myself to study with a friend at his house for the EBM final examination tomorrow.

frankly speaking, i do feel what a person say was quite true that this "SHU degree programs" seems to be like a "scam degree program" because everything we learn was actually what we had already learn on advance diploma level in Tarc College and what we really need to do now is to apply all the theories by writing it into the examination paper.
moreover, it seems that the whole program was more onto travelling around when you're influence by friend action in someway just like my experience as i seems to not talking much about studies things.
guess all the "education things" was just a "disguise" to earn more money.
therefore i just spend my day to study with my friend by memorizing some of the reference source.
around 7pm i just cook some instant noodle with ham's and hotdog as my dinner.
then i continue to study the EBM exam's revision with my friend.

somehow i would like to try to write everything down here for my own record about what i studied today such as the B2C need to explain the definition first, followed by the opportunity like ubiquity, handset culture, global reach, then continued with challenges such as privacy and security concern as i would further elaborate it.
as for the acquire, retain and extend relationship with existing customer, it would be using search engine marketing, viral marketing, customer relationship management (CRM), sales force automation, automatic response email, loyalty card, social media, upsell and cross sale for it.
for the supply change management (SCM), i would be explain the SCM definition, followed by advantages and disadvantages, enterprise resource planning (ERP), radio frequency identification (RFID), collaborative commerce, social media or CRM although not very sure whether can link it or not.

later on, there was "something" happen and i don't really feel about it.
what i can really say was about "friendship" things again and it just make me suddenly "depressed" about it and i was trying to convince myself that exam is more important now.
anyways, it was about the trip things and just feel that the "Source of Depression In Our Life (压抑的来源)" was quite true as shown below or the link >>> Here.

honestly, i don't really like people to that talk good in front of you but talk bad behind the back even if it is very close friend and talk about my past to others new friend.
perhaps the people i mixed around is not always what i want/good enough or it was actually from my own personal problem that matters. (hypocrite?)
finally i arrived back home at 11.10pm and just feel so tired again.
in conclusion, today was the last day exam preparation for the EBM and i just hope i can do it although current feeling was quite depression and stress.

today i woke up at 5.45am.
then i just have Digestive biscuit as my breakfast.
somehow i faced some difficulties when the hostel's internet connection couldn't be established.
after some moment, i was able to connect afetr spend some time in the setting because need to select the "Renew 3 month package for free" in the Ask4 Login for my account selection option.
during the moment when i first login to my FB account, i just feel sad and totally demotivated for the study preparation of E-Business Management final examination that is going to start in a few hour soon after saw the message that i received as shown below. (original without edit other than the name being deleted)

seriously i was totally speechless that "this friend" which is also my current housemate in Sheffield's UK hostel "released his anger" towards me early in the morning when look through my blog.

anyways, i just replied him that "Wahsai, early early morning wake up see such msg really damn sad, somore is before ebm exam, can wait till after the exam only say this mah... speechless.. By the way, i need the note back to study..." in the social networking sites because i don't really want to spend time look through early in the morning.
after some moment when i going out to take my note that i borrowed him yesterday, i just saw the notes was inserted below of the door after saw the whole conversation as shown picture below.

seriously it really ruin my morning mood to study as i know myself was quite an "emotional creature" in life.
frankly speaking, my nature instinct would just make me to think more even if its nonsense such as would this be the "God challenge test" for me to face it or because of "killing the crab" few day ago that resulted me to have such KARMA because you can't really know how Karma will harm you.

if you're me, would you still have the mood to sit for the test after being scolded 24's of FB message notification early in the morning?
somehow i just spend about 1 hour study after thinking so much about the matter and make a move from hostel's room around 8.40am to the Sheffield Hallam University main building.
well, i was quite nervous at the outside of the Sheffield Hallam Hall, Level 6, Owen Building because it was my first time to take the exam as shown below.

around 9.15am we was allowed to go in and the first scene that i saw in the exam hall was having a big digital clock projected in front of room as shown below. (Picture taken after exam finish)

the exam start with the explanation of do and don't from the invigilator as usual when we sat for the back in Tarc College.

however, there was a quite a "weird culture" after writing the surname as we can use either our "saliva" with our finger or take some water from the bottle to seal the dry glue that we wrote the name beneath it.
around 9.30am the invigilator allow us to open the question booklet as we have a 10 minutes reading time and i just use it to draw out the "mind maps" that i prepared yesterday.
somehow the question was quite similar to the things that i studied yesterday and i might understand why some senior said that if you can afford, you can choose a more reputable university in UK and some forum's senior feedback comment saying that it was like a "3 month scam degree program" in some ways.
in fact, not much people would talk about the "academic thing" but even if it was like a "pre-seen thing", any student also need to have the skills to write out memorized point.
anyways, the two hour exam time seems to be a hard time for me to keep continuous writing.

in the end, i did not manage to finish it completely for the second question although i had written about 7 pages for the first 50% and another 4 pages for the another 50% marks.
however, i do have some confident that i will pass for this exam although some people will laugh if you fail this exam because "guidance given also can fail, really don't know how say right" for my inner voices.
after that, we went to the receptionist centre at level 5 and took the "Tarc Graduation Ceremony 2014" letter as shown below.

somehow the next year graduation ceremony for Tarc SHU degree program would be held in the One World Hotel, First Avenue, Bandar City Centre and the cost would be £97 as the attendance for graduate and up to two guest while extra ticket would be sold for £33 per person as shown below.

well, i still haven sit for my Strategic Marketing Management (SMM) already start to think of graduate?

guess this would be the "last way" for university to earn $$ from student and i shall able to make it. (>.<)
as i walked out from out from the SHU building, i just recall back what had happened to me this morning and it seems to ruin my mood.
somehow i just distracted my feeling by thinking something worth to be happy such as looking at the short hair girl to remind me about "someone" although it was kinda sad if i think on the other side.
around 12.45pm i arrived back home and went to my friend house to cook the spaghetti with black soy sauce as my lunch again.

upon arrived back home, i just saw the reply message about the morning incident as shown below.

seriously i was totally "speechless" when saw the message because i was seems to be a "target" for releasing the stress and pleasing others people?

for an example, if you raped a girl, would you tell the girl that "sorry, i was acted crazy this morning, just forget what i did okay?" if applying to the similar case above and sorry for being too harsh.

honestly, i admit that i would have my weakness such as the "small gas" as i was not able to treat it like nothing happen in the short time.

in fact, it just make me remind on the past about the "boycott" thing and would you think my friend will forget about it or treat it as nothing happen when you had said out something without thinking the consequences?

somehow i just feel myself seems to be a victim of being "bullied online" when expressing too much of true feeling in the online world.

seriously i did asked myself that what i get in return for being honest to express myself as i could be a very fake person pretending that i am very good by hiding my true feeling if you never knew my true thought right?

besides, i do read every single reply on the message and just feel myself no use to explain it because no matter what i say about no use and i think the best way was just to ignore it although i know i was wrong in some way too.

frankly speaking, i started to not having much "motivation" to continue writing this blog as my "heart confession" because i saw there was more disadvantage than advantage for expressing feelings.
somehow i start to understand why i prefer not to be so close with anyone who know my blog in real life if i wish to continue my blogging journey until the end of my life.
moreover, i do know that i would be no longer an anonymous person to express feeling sooner or later but i already have prepare the heart to face it when i think that "so what if my identity being exposed since i was just another people" that same with you living in this earth as there is nothing unique to talk about.

furthermore, not much people would really care about the privacy concern on posting stuff in the internet when thing did not goes wrong yet just like what the seminar tutor say that we agree on everything.

in addition, i do feel a bit "funny" about myself when saying this kind of conversation as if this story being read by an adult who already working in the job industry for years, they would be laughing because this kind of small matter shouldn't be a matter at all if compared to those issue that involve money or more even serious issue and i did feel a little immature about myself to argue for such thing.

in fact, everyone have their own way to release stress and i have my own method too just like some guy will choose to watch porn/XXX movie or masturbate to release stress, but i have chosen blogging to release my stress by express my feeling daily and you can choose to not to see right just like having the choice for not watching porn.

somehow the "Innovation of loneliness" seems to be quite true as i would like to share the video as below or the link >>> Here.

over time, blogging seems to be a part of my life to get myself entertained so that i wouldn't get so "lonely" by having something to do.
moreover, i do make some friend who really pay the effort concerning about me especially Mrs Anonymous when i received her message this morning regarding all the issue i face everyday as below.

well, i couldn't thank her in a good way most of the time as i just can say thanks for the effort that she done to me as i believe not much people would do such thing for someone who is completely stranger.
in fact, she was right about my Manchester United weekend trip advice in the second day that i should be with the friend who know me longer.

somehow it was true that we need to face our day with a smile even though there was tears in our life as shown below. (人生有眼泪，然而也要笑着去面对)

during the evening, i just spend some time chatting with friend to express my feeling and feel that not everything can be shared especially in the internet.
upon arrived back home at 6pm, i get some food ingredient and went to my friend house to cook the dinner.
well, i was having a very full dinner and finally arrived back home at 9.30pm.
overall i feel that no matter how much passion i have towards blogging, i would leave this blogging world one day as i know every effort or time i spend on this blog would be totally useless and what i am trying to achieve was just hoping people would get some inspiration when looking at the mistake that i had done in my life.

furthermore, my curiosity for the continue degree program for Tarc college in Sheffield Hallam University in United Kingdom would be ending soon and i had paid a very big price just to want to know some small "answer" where i would like to keep in my heart.
before i end my post, i would like to share an interesting picture about the "True Friendship A-Z" by Michael Josephson as shown below.

in conclusion, today's feeling not really that good after the "morning incident" but i still need to revise the SMM subject as the final exam would be on this coming Thursday. (5th September 2013)
sooner or later, i would be end up "mentally crazy" if i keep expressing my feeling using blog as it was so real although knowing the disadvantage for being too real.

well, you mentioned that "you're so used to the people like me" and i just can say that don't act like you know me so well or you're had seen a lot of stuff like already lived for almost 50 years talking like an old uncle who know a lot about life because even myself also still learning about life until this moment.
anyways, you might be right that i might have changed to another person but it is useless to argue that since there is no use for me to further explain about myself.
in fact, friendship need time to build and as it would not be build in just few month or time and need to face a lot of challenge.
after all the whining writing from this post, could i able to say that "well, sorry to be mean by saying all that, but can you treat it like nothing happen now" that is so contradict after all the criticism although i might lost a friendship.

today i woke up at 7.50am.
somehow i did not have my breakfast at home because i will be going to the Graduate Pub Sheffield's restaurant together with some friends to try their breakfast set.
around 8.50am we make a move from hostel and walked to the Graduate cafe but they seems to be still haven open the shop yet.
therefore we just walk around the city area as i just took some picture nearby since there is not much remaining day left for us to stay in Sheffield and i start to miss this city so much as below.

after that, i just bought the milk chocolate cookies and Friji drinks from Sainsbury shop as shown below.

actually i was attracted by the design of the Friji drinks (£0.60) and the cookies seems to be having a promotion of £0.50 per pack instead of £1.05 for normal price.

perhaps it is because the demand for cookies is low compared to last time since it was only left few day for all Tarc SHU summer degree program student from Malaysia to leave this peace city in a short time.
around 9.45am we walk back to the Graduate Pub and it is finally open and i just took some picture of the surrounding as shown below.

well, the regular breakfast set from the menu cost about £2.29 and served everyday from 9.30am to 12pm although menu is more expensive as shown below.

somehow the portion of the regular breakfast set which have sausage, bacon, egg, beans, harsh brown, tomato and toast food was quite okay as shown below.

frankly speaking, if you're able to cook it yourself, you might find that eating the breakfast set at this Graduate pub restaurant might not be worth of money.

anyways, below was the details information about the Graduate Pub Sheffield's restaurant.
________________________________________

Address: 94 Surrey Street, South Yorkshire S1 2LH, Sheffield, United Kingdom.
Opening Time : Monday, Tuesday and Saturday from 9:30 am to 12:00 am, Wednesday to Friday from 9:30 am to 1:00 am, Sunday from10:00 am to 12:00 am
Contact Number: 0114 275 3767
Email : graduate.sheffield@partyatthepub.co.uk
________________________________________
actually there was a quite funny thought about "eating here you will guarantee can graduate from college" suddenly pop up in my mind because they have a nice business name which is "graduate".
overall the food was just taste okay only for me and the surrounding was quite nice to hang out with a group of friends.

finally i arrived back home at 10.45am and check on my mail box.
around 1pm i make a move to my friend house to do the revision for the Strategic Marketing Management (SMM) as the final examination would be tomorrow.
somehow i do have some thought about "yesterday friendship issues" although i feel myself seems to be so "stupid" for keep thinking about it that would only ruin my feelings.
seriously it is not easy to concentrate well in studies if my "mental statement" haven fully recover yet when it is nature for me to think about so much thing. (perhaps quit blogging is the best way?)
during the afternoon, i just have some chocolate cookies from Sainsbury as my lunch.

besides, i do feel that Barclay's mobile banking system seem to be not that good although i just received back the £200 that i lend to my friend few day ago.

around 5.10pm i reach back my room again after done some revision for the SMM subject.
then i just watch some video to relax a while and would like to share the "Reality or ultra reality" video about what would you during the job interview as shown below or the link >>> Here.

after that, i went to my friend house again and cooked spaghetti with black soya sauce as my dinner.
somehow i was keep going out from home to friend house for today as i need someone to do group study.
as i arrived my friend house at 9.15pm again, we started to memorize and answering the SMM revision.
honestly, i couldn't really concentrate much about the "friendship related things" because another friend thought that i was ignoring him but actually i was thinking about yesterday stuff.
therefore i feel that it might be true that "your feelings" will somehow affect other people feelings too because i do have a little "frustration" at that moment.

on the other hand, i do feel that i was quite comfortable group study with some new friend because i did have some similar "peacemaker" characteristic with one of the friend.
well, i might be "harsh" when writing my feeling in blog sometime but my real life would be different as i would like to remain peace.
anyways, we just continue to do the revision and tested how much can we write the draft for the 10 minutes reading time tomorrow.
furthermore, i do manage to remember few of the important point such as Porter's focus, cost, differentiation strategy, Ansoff model, total product concept, 3C for area of success, services characteristic, Herzberg hygiene and motivator factors but couldn't remember well for the segmentation and targeting matrix as i would need to keep practice it.

in conclusion, today i don't really feel much good but really thanks to the positive comment that i received from this blog and email although i know was wrong in some way too.
perhaps i should have tell him face to face rather than just being a "keyboard warrior+coward" expressing myself but that's was my nature to express every single detail that i face everyday using the blogging platform.
at last, one important thing that i realize was "the moment i become serious, it seems to be the moment i lost myself" (当你认真,你就输了) because the people who feel hurt in the end would be only myself if i think too much about how others people's feelings or thought.
in fact, i was "fighting" with my own "soft heart" to be more stronger because as long as i still have those immature/childish attitude, i would not improve myself to become the "matured guy" that every guy wished to become.
anyways, hopefully i would get a good result for tomorrow although i have a mixed emotions before the SMM exam start.

today i woke up at 7am.
then i just eat some Digestive biscuit again as my breakfast and continue with the Strategic Marketing Management (SMM) revision although it was just left few hour before the final exam start.
around 8.45am i make a move from hostel and walked to the SHU building since the exam venue was in the same venue again which is Sheffield Hallam Hall, Level 6 Owen Building.
well, the exam start at 9.30am and i just quickly write down all the mind map that i had done yesterday into the exam question without looking much as i afraid i would forget the point.
during the moment while writing this subject, i was having some "stuck" moment because the i need some time to think what to write although i still having some "emotional feeling" due to the incident happened few days ago.

in the end, i was managed to finish in time although i still have a little things that i did not include for the last question about differentiating tangible and intangible services. (finally over can graduate liao?)
after that, we just took some picture around the college area since it was the about the end for our 3 month Tarc SHU summer degree program as a Malaysia as shown below.

around 12.15pm i walked to the Adsetts Library to return the book that we borrowed last time.
somehow i just walked alone although some friend asked me to join them.
frankly speaking, i do wish to join them but my "own assumption thought" feel that it is inappropriate to join when a friend told me that it was about a gathering within their own group yesterday.
moreover, i have some sense about my "own face expression" was not in a good condition when i think about the things that happened few day ago.

in fact, how would i able to say that it was due to "being bullied online" although i understand it was just a small case using the social media sites.
anyways, i just walk around the city and i do wish that i can capture every moment of my stay in UK as much possible since there is not much day left for me at here.
somehow i do feel that the statement about "man is a social creature and the feeling of loneliness can drive them mad" seems to be quite true according to the innovation of loneliness video.
it is because i tends to think a lot of stuff when i was walking alone although some problem was just based on my own assumption.
seriously i do asked myself whether i was enjoyed being "lonely" or not because my action seems to be reflecting that i am preferring to be alone.

after that, i walked to Thomas cook and asked whether i can put the EUR (€) currency into their Debit Cash Passport Mastercard when my friend said it is more safe to keep the money inside as shown below. (blue)

however, the staff just told me that they can't put the €150 cash into the card because they only provide the exchange for pound sterling (£) change to Euro dollar (€) and i just walk away from the shop as below.

therefore now i just can keep safety for the total €510 that i have for my Europe trip expenses although some friend changed to Swiss Franc currency for the Switzerland trip.
around 1.05pm i reach the Tkmaxx but there is not much available size for my clothes.
then i just went to buy the KFC snack box for £2 as i walked pass there many time as shown below.

finally i arrived back home at 1.40pm and just have the KFC chicken as my lunch although it was just a piece of chicken.

honestly, this kind of "loneliness feelings" is quite hard to bear as i would think about my ex-college classmate because most of them has came to SHU last year.
moreover, it was true that the friendship will be definitely stronger if you came here with you diploma to advance diploma until UK now.
after that, i just watched back the 36th until 39th episode of "Triumph In The Skies 2" (衝上雲霄II) HK drama as shown below.

there was one Chinese sentences that i found meaningful from the 39th episode was "过去的事，谁都改变不了。人生的是很奇妙，有得就有失，有失就有得。我觉得抓住眼前的幸福很重要，不要一直跟以前不开心的事烦" because the only person who hurt will be just myself.
during the evening, my housemate came to my room to apologize for the "message" few day ago.

somehow i do feel a bit "contradict" but i had forgive him although i was wrong too in some way.
the reason i feel contradict was because if that day he talk to me face to face about this issues, it wouldn't be so awkward as it caused hurt feeling between us or i shouldn't blogged anything about my life at first?
however, i feel that my "tofu" heart seems to be not very strong enough throughout the years and maybe this is a "God test" given to me to face the reality.
around 5pm we make a move from hostel because there was a TARC Farewell Event party at the Pennine lecture theatre level 2 from the university as shown below.

well, it was actually about the prize award ceremony and the main prize was an ipad mini.
somehow Blogger's Simonhar had won the 2nd prize and his poem was quite nice as shown below and i think he should won the ipad mini if compared with the first prize winner.

around 6.35pm i arrived back home and do feel quite tired.
during the night, i went to my friend house to cook spaghetti with soya sauce again as our dinner.
later on, a friend invited me to the alcohol party but i did not turn up in the end as i was "enjoying emoing" about the feelings.
before i end my post, i would like to share a Buddha religion issue that i watch as shown below or the link >>> Here.

somehow i do feel "guilty" about the Karma things again especially the eating meat and assisted for "killing crab" because we will need to "repay it back" for all the good and bad deeds we had done.
overall i was just speechless as i had some bad things throughout my life and the way to overcome it was by doing more good deeds.
at last, this blog post was finished written at 3.20am when i feel "emo" during the midnight.

today i woke up at 8.35am.
first of all, this blog post has been delayed a day and i do feel frustrated to blog about it as i did not exact goal other than the reason was just hope i can store my "memories" in a more memorable way.
however, it is quite time consuming and over time, i found it does not attract my interest as i write more and sooner it is even more hard to blog about the 15 days Europe trip experiences.
anyways, all the thing written in this post was just based on my phone's note.
during the morning, i just have some Digestive biscuit as my breakfast and continue to see some Anime video since there is nothing much to do other than packing my belongings after the SMM Final Examination has been over yesterday.
moreover, this was my last day in Sheffield as i would be departing to London at tomorrow.

around 12.25pm i make a move from hostel to the city hall center with some friend although the weather was raining as shown below.

then my friend went to Tkmaxx while i go to H&M and Topshop just to find the umbrella as mine was spoilt.
after that, i went to Barclays bank to settle my invalid PIN issue and we decided to have our lunch at The Red Lion pub restaurant as shown below.

well, i just ordered the Thailand's Salmon related food for £4.95 and the taste seems like the "Otak Otak" in Malaysia as shown below.

furthermore, there was a 10% off for student promoter and my meal cost for £4.50.
in addition, i try not to spend much time update this blog post and please "forgive" me if it was too short without much description.

anyways, below was the detailed information about The Red Lion restaurant.

________________________________
after that, i went to 99p stores to buy an umbrella and as i pass my The Banker Draft restaurant, i do feel a bit disappointed for not to be able to visits there since it was my last day in Sheffield as below.
before going back home, i just spend £0.90 to buy some Yorkshire mixed sweet and another £5 Lebara for top up reload as below.

somehow the sweet just taste like "Sticky" sweet back in Malaysia.
upon arrived back home, i just quickly "Skype" with my parents.

besides, i would like to share a meaningful video about "Stop Human Trafficking Campaign" as shown below or the link >>> Here.

somehow it is quite "touch" during the end of the video when it says that "Every year, thousands of women are promised a dance career in Western Europe. Sadly, they end up here. Stop the traffik, people shouldn't be bought and sold" and i feel it is quite true.
in fact, i do feel myself "ignore a bit" about the statement that money is very important as i was just "fortunate a bit" for less thinking about the ways to find money.
moreover,
around 5.30pm i went to my friend house as he want to send his luggage to another friend house staying in the Forge hostel.

frankly speaking, i just feel that sometime don't be so trust on what's other people said as my friend "lied" me that he did not go to the drink beer farewell party yesterday when talking to me but say another to a friend stayed at Forge as he finally admitted it although i don't know what is the intention why sometime he always keep say two different things.
anyways, i just took some picture of the Forge as shown below.

honestly, i was trying to get to know more about "someone" experience although i know it was a too high cost to pay for as i want to know something.
moreover, i feel that "UK experience" is just for rich people to come to experience it but not me since i have my very own "dark secret" too.
seriously that kind of feeling is so "sucks" in some way.

after that, we went to buy Chinos Kebab as i shared with a friend for £2 each person as take some picture as shown below.

besides, there was a "Mr Lonely" by Akon song played at there as below or the link >>> Here.

upon arrived back home, i quickly went to pack my clothing and luggage as it is quite messy.
around 11.35pm i went to do my clothes laundry and there was still a lot of people queue up for it.
as i finish my clothes laundry, i went farewell to my friend who going to Scotland as shown below.

honestly, it is quite sad to see farewell happening although i was not close with them but it would make me think about what is the feelings of my ex-college classmate from SHU last year.
finally i arrived back home at 2.40am but still need to pack the little and pieces.
at last, i managed to finish it at 4am and my body was totally exhausted again.

overall today really just feel quite rush to pack the stuff and i there was a few place that i missed to visits in Sheffield that is Mayfield Alpaca farm, Yorkshire Sculpture park, Crucible Theatre trip for Jack Steele and Family, Kelham Island Museum and others more.
before i end my post, below was the 40th episode of "Triumph In The Skies 2" (衝上雲霄II) HK drama and Chan Fong "大城心事" story sharing podcast recording.

today i woke up at 7.40am.
well, i get myself prepared and ate some Digestive biscuit as my breakfast.
then i just quickly to the last checking of the "clean up check list" after and it is quite time consuming again.
during the moment when i throw the rubbish on the "-1" floor, it seems that there was a cleaner cleaning the "smelly rubbish storage" and i just feel quite pity about it.
seriously i do feel that no people would really care how the cleaner point of view and sometime people don't really have much choice to choose for the job they wish to do.
around 9.45am i check out from the hostel and the staff did not came to check my house since i am the last person leaving.
anyways, i just feel relieved when they did not check because there is something i did not do in the check list.

however, i was carrying two big heavy luggage with my small body size as i keep "Stop walk" and it took me quite long to reach Sheffield bus interchange station at 10.25am after i had bought some fruits for £2.40 at somewhere near to the Castle Market as below.

today i woke at 8.20am.
somehow it was my first night staying at relatives house and the weather was quite cold.
well, this post would be a quick updates as it would be really time consuming if i ever want to write all the detail about it.
moreover, i feel that what's Peter said was quite true that "Please stop now blogging, start socialising, it's VERY important in order to get a good job once back in MA (Malaysia). Blogging doesn't give you any added value any more, only problems" and i can see that the more i write my feelings using blog, there would be more problem arise.
moreover, he was true that "I will think that Europeans eat bad food, based on my UK experiences" because partly because the low budget and cheap food that i ate.

seriously i don't see much benefits of blogging anymore other that the "wish to writing down my life experiences" tends to be keep demotivating me and my English was totally a broken English.
honestly, today i really feel down especially during the night when my relatives talk to me about whether i can extend my stay in UK for the "English course" because my English was so "broken and having a lot of bad grammar" and all of the fees would be fully sponsored.
in fact, it is quite hard to explain much of it but if i agree, the flight, Dubai trip fees will be forfeited and what i can get in return was a good experience of learning and speaking English with confident in real life as i would be staying in their house until November 2013. (OMG)
frankly speaking, i don't wish to "owe people so much" (欠人家人情) because the more i get from others, it would be shown that i am a "thick face" or look like that kind people who take advantage from others.

anyways, below was some of the things happened from my phone's note and picture of it for my own reference although it was quite messy.
_________________________________________
- spend quite long time in the bath tub "sleeping"
- 11.15am make a move to Ickenham tube station
- asked for guidance, 11.50am train arrived and i took Piccadilly line to South Kensington
- along the way i send a SMS to a Lowyat forum member who stay in UK, it was so coincidence we sit on the same train, same time SMS, and i can this probability can only happen in 0.00001% because we did not know each other as he was study, living in UK for 4 years.
- however, having some problem to meet up when he ask me to walk out from Royal Park station but he did not walk out due to the slow message that i received

- anyways, he told me Lebara network seems to be "cheating people $$" as my balance has been deducted  about £3+ for SMS that cost for £0.10 per SMS.
- meet up at North Ealing and arrived South Kensington  underground station but the weather was raining.
- first scene that i saw was Natural History Museum, Sciene Museum but did not go to Victoria and Albert Museum, having sandwich that packed up by my relatives from home as my lunch.
- reach at 2.30pm meet up the friend again at Leicester Square, (Oyster card charged £2.10 from SK to LS)
- there was a China girl claim that she was new to this city and asked us whether she can follow us or not, moreover, her things was being snatch by people, at first i feel pity for him but my friend quickly said a lot of reason that we was not free and she has gone.

-after that my friend said that she might be cheating people money or even can sacrifice her own body for the "one night stand" as the purpose was to cheat $$.
therefore this prove that when going out, why so many people say don't trust what's stranger said and i feel thankful as it was a fate to meet up this friend.
- then we head to Four Season Chinese restaurant at Chinatown, friend introduce his rich relative, heard a lot of story, get treated food by the new friend for the roast duck with pork. (£8.50 for that meal, portion not big but treated by friend, Bicester Village sales seems to be can achieved few thousand pound earning per day, thanks to China visitor who willing spend so much $$)
- next, i start my walking alone journey, walk to M&M's World, followed by Big Ben Clock Tower, Tower Bridge, London Eye.
- the Big Ben Clock tower have few person gather for "gambling 3 guess ball" game and each cost £20 for bet, i spend a few minute there looking on how they cheat people although it is quite attractive to see as i have guess a few time right one deep inside my heart.

- 7.10pm have mcdonald Happy meal as dinner (£2.40)
- 8.20pm reach back Leichester square
- Stop at Rayners lane, need to Metropolitan line back to Ickenham, reach RL at 9.10pm.
- 9.25pm reach ickenham station and walked back home. (total from LS to Ickenham cost £3)
- finally arrived home at 9.30pm
- relatives cook dinner, start chat about the extend days thing, feel so stress, almost "tear went down inside heart" because she was right that i don't have confidence and my English was totally a poor one, communication skill is the most important things if you want to be success in future.
- i was sad because i don't have any skills and having "face problem" in some ways.
- speechless and having a down tired feeling night. (what can i do beside than feel to cry?)
- trying to balance between my days in London because i only have this week until Wednesday because Thursday and Friday need to be at home help take care children.
- then finally start Europe trip at 13th September.
- concluded no matter how much i like or having passion in blogging, i should give up, really no others way if want to improve.

- anyways, all post might be able to re-edit and update at this coming Thursday.

today i woke up at 7.50am.
then i quickly go to update my yesterday's "Visiting London" blog post and i quickly get myself prepared.
during the morning, i just prepared the sandwich as my breakfast and packed up for my lunch.
seriously the time is so limited as i need to balance the time for researching the place to visits in London and don't really have much to do others thing.
around 10.40am i make a move from home and reached to Ickenham station at 10.55am.
well, i just get to know that the Picaddily line route will be always coming in time at 11.10am, so there is no need to come early as the previous arrival time was around 10.10am.
besides, the weather seems to be so cold again and i do regret that i did not wear much clothes as i thought my body can resist the cold weather.

somehow i had accidentally slept on the train until it reached Holloway Road station although my first destination was King's Cross St Pancras trail station as shown below.

well, i also realize that the maximum fare for traveling a single journey from Icekenham to King's Cross St Pancras in the Picaddily line would cost about £3.
the reason i wanted to go there was because i heard that there was a scene of Harry Potter movie being film at there which is the platform 9¾ as shown below.

after that, i went to visit one of the place that "Triumph In The Skies 2" (衝上雲霄II) HK drama being filmed there which is the St Pancras train station as shown below.

around 1.10pm i just have the sandwich that i packed during this morning as my lunch in the station while looking at the people walking pass by.

after that, i use my phone's GPS and find the place to British Museum as it was free to entry.
well, the walking journey took about 1 hour for me to find that place as i arrived at 2.10pm although the map guidance sait it would just take around 30 minute walking distance because the weather is still raining.
somehow there was too much of things to see in the British museum as i start to feel a bit tired for seeing too much of information as shown below.

besides, the Malaysian RM1 coin has been displayed at there as you can see below.

around 3.50pm i make a move from there and went to find the place to top up my Lebara mobile number for £5 although i wish to change to another line.
frankly speaking, it is quite hard to estimate the time between finding place to eat and the place to visits in London where you're in there.

moreover, there was a lot of Chinese restaurant in Chinatown London as i keep comparing which price is worth to eat as shown below.

anyways, i just walked to the Piccadilly Circus and Buckingham Palace while thinking whether where to eat as shown below.

in the end, i decided to have my dinner at Wong Kei Chinese Restaurant after looking at the feedback that i received yesterday from "TZ" blogger as i reached there at 6.20pm.
then i just ordered the Roast Duck Noodle that cost for £4.60 although i was planning to eat the Barbecued cold meat on hot rice from the menu as shown below. (Free Chinese Tea to drink)

it is because my past experience for eating cold meat was not nice when i had tried the similar type of food at one of the restaurant in Penang.

actually it is not very worth to eat as the portion was just enough to full for me and it is quite "funny" to think that we can almost eat a whole duck in Malaysia if it cost for RM25 right.
around 6.45pm i make a move from there and took some picture along the way while walking to Picaddily line to take the train back home as below.

somehow there was people playing saxophone inside the train station and it was quite nice to listen as below.

upon arrive there at 7pm, the train was quite punctual and i arrived the Rayners Lane at 7.45pm because i need to change to the Metropolitan line if i need to back to Ickenham.
finally i arrived the Ickenham station at 8pm and just realized that i get deducted £5 for the return journey.
then i ask one of the staff about it and she told me i was on the peak hour as shown below.

therefore i learned that i need to back home late if i wish to get a £3 for return journey.

according to the Oyster card pricing, the peak time would be at Monday-Friday 04:30-09:29 while off-peak would be Monday-Friday from 09:30-04:29 (the following day), Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays from 04:30-04:29 (the following day) and i still quite blur about it.
therefore this might prove that TIME IS MONEY as a simple train journey also can be classified in such way just like dividing the social status of rich and poor people.
when i reach home at 8.20pm, i just feel quite tired after walking all day long.
somehow my relatives couldn't able to accompany much because she need to work every week day until very late around 8~9pm instead of 5pm normal working time in London.
therefore i feel that i shouldn't trouble her for asking the top most visited place in London as i can research it by myself although it is quite time consuming.

well, there is a few places that you can visits for FREE such as British Museum, National Gallery, Tate Modern, Natural History Museum, Science Museum, National Maritime Museum, Victoria & Albert Museum but it might be bored if you don't like historical stuff.
besides, the Madame Tussauds and the Original London Sightseeing bus tour with river boat would cost about £20+ each and i still considering whether worth or not because i was alone and it is hard for me to take picture with the figures.
honestly, i just feel that travelling seems to be a "way to showing off to others people" about the place you visits because if i did not go out and spend my days with looking at computer news, it might consider as "wasting time/stupid" to stay in house.
on the other hand, i still haven update my previous post and i do have a feeling that "what had past, shall be pass" as it is no use to think back.

today i woke up at 7.10am.

somehow i was awakens by a "sad" dream again and i not sure whether this was the second time or not.

well, the dream was about a girl that i like as she had married to someone and give birth to a child while i feel so sad in there as the dream was so real.

anyways, i really don't know why i still having such dream although i am at far away from Malaysia.

during the morning, i just have cupcakes as my breakfast in my relatives house although i was alone in the home since they went out to work.

around 11am i make a move and took the Piccadilly line to Knightbridge at Ickenham station as below.

upon arrived Knightbridge tube station at 12pm, i walked to Harrods shopping mall as i was helping a friend to buy a wallet.

well, it took me about 30 minute+ to find the Harrods shop because the shopping mall was too big and it was full of luxury brands such as Hermes, LV, Gucci, Prada or any luxury brand you can name it.

besides, i do wonder whether how much it would cost in Malaysia for the Harrods wallet that cost for £25 as shown below.

moreover, i do feel that most of the price there seems to be quite expensive as their objective was to earn money from foreigner buyer (mostly China people) because my brother's girlfriend asked me help to see the Burberry perfume and the price was more expensive than in Malaysia.

anyways, i make a move from there around 1.20pm as i don't really have branded things to buy although there was too much brands to see.

then i went to Mc Donalds to buy Mayo Chicken for £1 as my lunch. (poor leh)

after that, i walked to Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) and Natural History Museum because that day i didn't really see much of the gallery as below.

actually i have taken a lot of picture at there and even get "scolded" because some place was not allowed to take picture especially the jewellery gallery as below.

around 2.45pm i walk out from V&A museum and head to Natural History museum because 2 days ago i feel that there was nothing much to see as i might not able to look all of it and below was some picture of it.

after spending an hour at there, i make a move at 3.45pm and head to Albert Memorial status and took some picture around there as below.

somehow i feel "afraid" during the moment i took the picture of myself because my face seems to be not happy at all although i thought that was my '"smiling face" and this is the reason why i having low confidence.

seriously the "happy smile face" need to a lot of time to practice in front of the mirror and i realize the "inner heart" need to be always happy and don't be so calculative so much with time because emotional feeling really can affect a person's looks.

around 4.25pm i make a move to Hyde park other than Serpentine Gallery but there seems to be nothing to see as i had rest a while at there around 5.20pm after my leg start to feel pain again as below.

guess it was because i had been walked a lot throughout the whole day for this continuous few day for my "solo experience" of London trip while waiting for the Europe trip.

during the evening at 5.50pm, i walked to Saintsbury to buy the £0.50 cookies as picture below.

then i just depend on my phone's GPS walked all the way from Marble Arch, Baker Street, Bond Street, Oxford Circus Street just wanted to try one of the famous fish and chips store in England.

well, during my journey at Baker Street, there was a lot Lebanese cuisine restaurant and i do feel a bit afraid to walk alone while there was so much of "black big people" walked pass. (not racist but just feel scary)

as i arrived the Traditional Golden Union Fish Bar, i don't feel like dining in (extra £2+ service charge) or try the fish and chips when i have the thought of "converting the price to Malaysia" because i can eat 5 times for this amount of money as i look at the price as shown below.

in the end, i just buy the chips for £2.25 as my dinner when i was so hungry after walk all day long and couldn't have a good meal in London.

in fact, i do feel myself seems to be like a "homeless people/beggar" when i ate the chips beside the street as i wouldn't never forget the scene in front of me while eating it as below.

over time, i really asked myself whether is the money issue that can determine my happiness?

well, i don't really sure whether i am "playing the poor character" or whether i am really that "poor" to have such feeling and i would start to "dwell a lot of feelings" about the "lucky" question.

for example, i would think that "lucky i am not in relationship or married, if not i might make others suffer; lucky i didn't know much people, or else i don't have face problem to meet other" and other matter.

perhaps it was my own problem because i don't wish to trouble my relatives to cook the dinner for me as i can see how she seem to be "struggling" for survive in the London city by working until so late and i was grateful to have a place to stay although it was not a proper room in the living room. 

on the other hand, maybe i was the "luckiest guy" who can keep enjoying travel and my "small problem" was just thinking where to play for the next day in the city of London.

somehow i do feel a bit "guilty" for not being happy about what i already had.

around 8.10pm i arrived to the Piccadilly Circus and walked to the Her Majesty's Theatre in front of Theatre Royal Haymarket to see the Phantom of the Opera ticket price.

it seems that the price was quite expensive and i still not sure whether want to watch or not as below.

anyways, i just walk back to the took the Picadidly line underground tube as below.

after some moment, i realized that i was in the wrong train and walk out to Hammersmith station waiting for the next train as shown below.

somehow the train schedule time was quite frequent and i reached Rayners Lane at 9.10pm, continued with Ickenham route as i arrived there at 9.30pm.

finally i arrived back home at 9.45pm and my time seems to be so limited as i feel quite tired to research about the place i want to go for tomorrow in London.

well, this post was updated at the next morning when i feel so tired in night as i had eventually fall asleep around 11pm if i am not mistaken.

before i end my post, i would like to share a meaningful picture by Zenpencil about "We're adult, but emotionally we're a culture of 7 year old" that seems to be quite true as below.

perhaps i was no different with the drug addict if i am addicted to blogging everyday or look through those status updates in social media sites as you can see the last picture above.

in the end, maybe i was just another "attention seeker" who want someone to "acknowledge me" and i feel that the reason i continue to write this blog post was because i want those "feedback" so that i won't feel so lonely in real life thinking that no one cares for me besides than my family, relatives and some friends.

overall today really feel tired and i was worry whether is there any side effect for walking too long as i had been walked for almost 8 hour everyday continuously just like yesterday.

today i woke up at 7.20am.
frankly speaking, i can foresee it would probably be my last few blog post as a "lonely reload blogger" to blog about my life as i did not have much improvement in my English writing skills.
in fact, i was in a "stressing" feelings when i writing this post as my decision to continue to stay more 2 month in London will better or not for me to improve my English after my Europe trip starting at 13th September night until 28th September visiting few countries.
moreover, this was a delayed post as there is some internet connection problem in my relatives house and i don't really feel like update it as i felt myself would be a "blog addict" which no different with drug addict.
anyways, all my writing for this post was just based on my phone's note although i wish i can blog the 15 days of my Europe trip.

during the morning, i was feeling a little pain for my leg as i had been walked quite a long time this few day.
after updated my yesterday's "London trip" and have some cup cakes as my breakfast, i make a move from home around 11.45pm and took the Metropolitan line because the Piccadilly line seems to be quite slow especially in the morning.
around 12.40pm i arrived the Finchley road under the Jubilee line and i quickly go to sit the train to Bond Street as shown below.

when i arrived in Bond Street which in the Central line, i decided to took until the Notting Hill Gate under the District and Circle line to reach Bayswater tube station as shown below.

upon arrived at Bayswater station around 1.05pm, i quickly check the price and i just realized it only cost £3 no matter which route i change.

the reason i decided to stop at Bayswater was probably because of the Four Season Chinese restaurant as i wish to experience the my "last year college classmate" of moment being there as i remember they had stop by one of the Four Season restaurant although i not sure which shop but so far i had visited the two different shop of it as below.

well, the price of the "Shuang Ping" (double meat) cost about £9.50 and i do feel quite "money pain" because it is consider quite a high price for me.
somehow i just ordered the roast duck with "char siu" (barbecue pork meat) and the portion seems to be slightly smaller than what we eat before in Hong Kong Wok Sheffield. as shown below.

at the end of my bills, it cost me £13.50 in total and i was like "speechless+OMG, so expensive" but no choice as i need to pay for it although it comes with some orange and Mentos sweet.

seriously i do feel really not very worth to eat at Four season @ Bayswater because the rice and the dish price cost separately as a bowl of white rice cost for £2.50 according to the bill and the rest might be the service charge or the hot water. (i can eat 10 plate of duck rice for RM70+ in Malaysia right?)
moreover, Vkeong blogger do blog about it saying that it cost for £6 for a plate of roasted duck drumstick rice because that price was 3 years ago since 2010.
after that, i walked around the street and spend £18 buying the London souvenir for my friends and helping another friend buy it.
besides, i think i had realized that why my expenses balance did not tally for that day would probably because i did not include the cost that i help other people to buy the product such as the Gap clothes and the Harrods wallet.

when i walked around the Bayswater area, i do saw the London Malaysia Hall and get to know some Malaysian people when i asking about the Malaysian food with it's canteen kitchen related stuff as below.

the next stop i had decided to walk around was the Kensington palace and Kensington garden as it is nearby to the station when i look in my phone's GPS.
anyways, i just took some picture around there and did not go in the palace since it would cost £16.50 for the entrance fee as shown below.

around 3.50pm i walked to the Queensway station and took the route to Oxford Circus under the Bakerloo route as shown below. (cost £2.10)

somehow i do feel a little regret for not keep using the Oyster card when i just get to know that the daily cap limit for the transportation would be £8.40 and the peak hour start from 4pm to 7pm.

therefore all this few day that i had been walked around London might be consider "stupid" when i spend almost £8+ everyday for transportation.
when i arrived the Piccadilly Circus, i walked to the National Gallery Museum as i arrived there at 4.10pm.
somehow the "guardian of the museum" does not allow me to take picture and i just wondering what would happen when Google Glass is widely available right?

besides, i saw a lot of people can spend so much time "starring" on those painting picture and i almost fall asleep after looking so much picture.
overall i can say that it might be worth to spend time there if you like to see artistic stuff.
around 5.50pm i make a move from the museum as it would close at 6pm as shown below.

moreover, there was a lot of people queuing outside and i not sure what event it is at Trafalgar square.

after some moment, i just spend my time looking on my phone's trip advisor as i don't have any plan on what to do next.
however, i suddenly remember about a friend talk about the Phantom of the Opera in London is very worth to watch and i just went there to check up about it.
in the end, i decided to buy the tickets for £26 although it is had a restricted views because it would cost £50+ for normal view as shown below.
after that, i went to buy some Mayo Chicken burger as my dinner around 7pm although the weather still having some tiny rains as usual. (£2)
then i just walked back to the Her Majesty's Theatre to wait for the London's Phantom of the Opera as my seating was in the stalls position.

well, my view seems to be blocked by a Pillar and this would be the reason why my price ticket would cost for the half price as no one wish to sit at such position as shown below.

while watching the drama, it somehow reminds me about the "Angel of music" story plot that we learn during our secondary time for the Phantom of the opera literature class.
moreover, i do feel myself seems to be the "phantom" as i afraid about my own "face problem" and always stays in the "darkness" (lonely) in some ways.
in the end of the story, Erik was touched by the kiss of Christine Daaé because he never received a kiss before, not even his own mother and asked her to go marry with the boy wherever she wish.
if i were to apply myself in this scene, what i want after all this of "blogging feelings" seems to be just want to get some "love or attention" by stranger and i feel it seems to be useless to have such feelings.

anyways, the drama has been split into two part as the first part would take an hour and another part will take another hour.
moreover, a China girl just asked me about something during the resting time after an hour and i just realize the girl who sat beside me was from Korea and another two girl was from Japan.
overall i can say that the Phantom of the Opera drama seems to be quite debatable about whether worth or not to watch it because it is quite subjective to everyone as every people have their own point of view.
around 10pm the drama finish and i quickly walk back to the train station as it might be late to go back.
well, i was lucky that the train can directly go back to Ickenham without changing another train at Raysners Lane as the train is for the Uxbridge line.
finally i arrived Ickenham and 11.10pm and reach home after 10 minutes later.
while my cousin asked me about the English course related stuff, i had rejected at first but get persuaded after some moment although i still haven decide yet.
seriously i do feel quite down at the night because it was a hard decision to make as i would delay my flight for 2 more month before back to Malaysia.
totally i was stressed up and don't really can find anyone to talk about it especially it is almost midnight.
somehow it is quite "funny" to see my expenses today as i had spend the same amount of my total up to date expenses and it was the most expensive expenses a day for me in London.
(Self Expenses note: Today £66.70, Yesterday total £66.70, Total up to date £133.40)

today i woke up at 8.40am.
well, i can't really go out today as i had promised my cousin that i would be taking care of her children.
during the morning, i just have some cupcakes and cornflakes as my breakfast.
somehow i was thinking the same matter all over the morning about whether want to go for short term Intensive English Course in UK offered by my cousin due to my poor command in English.
frankly speaking, i shouldn't having such a "negative thought" such as "why so good help me?" partly because our "Chinese nature thought" that there is no such good person who willing to help you without wanting anything back right?
around 11.20am my cousin's uncle went out to fetch the kids while i was sitting at home taking care of her daughter which is just 2 years old.

somehow it is quite a new experience for me to taking for a children as i had eventually become a "babysister" for children in England.
moreover, it is quite hard to understand baby language especially it is in English since my cousin married to British as i had some communication problem with my "broken English" to listen the English British accent.
anyways, i cooked some instant noodle as my lunch since my relatives was not in the house although she say i can eat any food that available in the house.
after that, i continue to take care the children with her uncle and i feel it is quite tiring to take care of child especially they was very energetic and active walking and running around the house.
on the other hand, i still thinking about the decision whether want to attend the Intensive English learning course from her support and i had asked a lot of opinion from my brother and sister back in Malaysia.

there is one important thing that my brother told me was "In Life, we have to make a lot of decision, once you have think through, just go for it and bear the consequences regardless it is good decision or bad decision. You will learn as you grow along and it is not cost impactful or life threatening, so just enjoy your stay and don't think nonsense once decided" while my sister told me that " Just remember to ask yourself, do you want to make yourself regret anything later? Don't think too much cause it is just want or don't want only, asking too many opinion but in the end, you will have to decide also, no many people got this chance and you should appreciate it and make the best effort to succeed" and i was speechless again.
seriously when ask myself what do i afraid for, it seems that the reason was the "owe people things feeling" (欠人家人情) and i afraid how others will think about me for being so "thick face" staying and eating at relatives house.

well, if i agree to stay and study the English course, my duration to live in England would continue for more 2 month in UK and i going back to Malaysia around December and by that time, most of my friend who graduate from Sheffield Hallam University would be already having job while i would be just starting to find jobs where i would feel myself "lose" in someway in term of earning money.
during the evening, i finally have a decision to stay for a while more after my Europe Trip ends at 28th September 2013 after listened to some advice.
guess i now would be the "thickest face" to "eat, use, stay" in my relative house although i know i shall think the positive way that i would improve my English and confidence in talking as she will have a plan for me to study at the local English course learning program.
during the night, my relatives cooked some food and i just have my dinner around 10pm.

actually it is quite "money pain" to forfeit the Dubai Stopover Trip that my friend already paid around RM550+ for my part and just feel we can't really predict what would happen in future.
moreover, the RM200+ that already pre-paid out of the RM4700+ STA Travel ticket to go out from Dubai seems to be forfeited too.
somehow i should have the mindset of losing RM1000 would have something gain in return such as improving my English grammar and confidence to talk with people.
it is because in the real life, i am having a disadvantage to compete with people who have strong communication skill and confidence.
in fact, i think it might be true that why guys who have a lot confidence would eventually having higher percentage to chase any girl because they already "Win the girls heart" if they brave enough.

somehow i would like to admit that the reason of why i still stay as a single guy who had no experience in love relationship was probably due the low self confidence about myself after being rejected by girl in some way.
later on, i just went to update my yesterday's London Phantom of the Opera blog post again although knowing it is useless to do so.
anyways, i have forgotten what i want to say anymore as this was just another delayed post and i don't feel like thinking so much again that would stress me up regardless what other's would think about me.
furthermore, i might not able to write as often more after that because i had promised to my relatives that i would give my best effort to study the English course and hopefully there will a BRAND NEW ME in future as it might be the time for me to say "bye bye" for this broken English blog.

today i woke up at 8.05am.
during the morning, i was in a "half way sleep mode" as i keep sleep a while and wake up a while.
after that, i just have some cornflakes as my breakfast and just told myself stop thinking about the "negative side" after i had make the decision to stay in London for some time when my Europe tour trips end.
around 11.30am i taking care and accompany my cousin's daughter as a "babysister" while the uncle went out to fetch another kids.
besides, it took me quite some time to pack the stuff for Europe trip and i was exited in some ways and hopefully those bad things will not happen to me.
it is because the Europe country seems to be not very safe in term of the snatch thief, pick pockets or some criminal related stuff.

moreover, it is quite pity to know that some children would do the "stealing" in a big group when you're not aware from my relatives sharing.
during the afternoon, i was "paiseh" (shy) to eat food from relatives house and ended up drink a cup of hot Milo as my lunch.
around 2.05pm i walk out from the house to buy some biscuits for £1.80 from Tesco Extra for my Europe trip breakfast.
after that, i continue to see anything that being leftover or not while doing the last packing for the trips.
anyways, this blog post was a "scheduled blog post" (means it will automatically post) and it was my last blog post before i go for the Tong Hang Europe Tour Trips start.
the only way for me to re-edit this post was only if there is any Wifi connection available in Europe.

besides, the details of the Tong Hang Europe trip was shown below.

today i woke up at 7.15am.
well, i was awakens by the coach saying that "Bonjour" and we just reach the Shell station and there was a Pauzo restaurant nearby in the morning.
somehow the toilet entrance fee require us to pay €0.50 for and it was my first time to encounter such machine but you can use the printed receipt voucher to buy something in the shop in return.
anyways, i just return the voucher ticket to the coach when he gave us the coins for the entry.
moreover, it was first time to see Euro currency in the shop and i just bought an Evian water for €2.10 which is quite expensive as shown below.

besides, i do feel that it is quite difficult to know whether where we can refill the water in Europe country because it is quite awkward if i refill the water inside the toilet right?

after that, we continue to sit inside the bus and the coach advice was "all the stranger who came approach and give you flower or string line, don't say anything and walk away" and i just feel that Europe country seems to be a dangerous country.
around 8.45am we reach Belgium Brussels city and the bus just stop by at the tourist spot for use to take the Atomium sculprit building but it was so fast because we make a move again to the center of the city as the coach say that they are famous for Belgium chocolate as below.

after spend another €0.50 for the toilet, we make a move to Holland's Zaanse Schans at 10.25am as below.

and the coach say that "whenever you go out from the coach, somebody is watching you".
therefore we must be always be extra becareful no matter where we are.
during the journey on the way to the Netherlands, the tour guide do shared a lot of story.

for example, the "Go to Holand" terms for Chinese do carry it's meaning behind whereby during the olden days, the dutch will catch those people who offended them and put them into the Indonesia country.
therefore when others people ask the parents about where their children go, they parent would reply to others people that "their son might be go to Holand" which is means somewhere that they would not be able to see their children anymore.
another story was related to the "Holand water, Holand potato, Holand cards (pai) but it is quite time consuming to explain about it as i don't really have much time to write this post.
in fact, there was a lot of picture that i wish to share but i wouldn't able to do so due to the slow internet connection of hotels's Wifi and trying to balance the sleeping time.

anyways, we do not go to Luxembourg this time due to last year student say they was not interested with it although it was a duti free zone area.
around 12.10pm we stop somewhere near the center city of Netherlands and i just bought the famous waffer for €1 which is quite nice to eat and spend another €1.50 for Belgium souvenir as below.

besides, i also spend another €3 for the chicken sandwich with coca cola promotion.
around 1.10pm we make a move again and reached somewhere in Holland Zaanse Schans that is famous for Windmill and some cheese as the tour guide say there were famous for smoke cheese as below.

then i spend another €11 Euro to buy Holland gift souvenir.
besides, i do heard friend talk about another friend that had lose £2000 pound for gambling in Genting Casino Sheffield.

somehow it is quite subjective to talk about this matter because rich people would definitely have more money than those "poor" ones.
sometime i do wonder that if i am rich, i would not be able to start up this blog by "whining" writing my feelings right?
around 3.35pm make a move from the Holland Windmill and arrived the Canal boat station around 5.30pm as we need to spend another €10 for boat riding as below.

somehow the bot riding was just okay to me and it took about 1 hour journey.
then we head to one of the Asiadam Chinese restaurant as we was served with 6 dish and 1 soup as shown below.

frankly speaking, the dish seems to be consider quite "cheapskate" because it is very little.

after that, we walked to the Red Light District and feel a little "open minded" when saw illegal drugs such as Cannabis, also known as marijuana drug and prostitution (sex) is legal sold here as below.

somehow it does remind me about the "Red Light District to stop human trafficking" video as shown below or the link >>> Here.

around 7.30pm we make a move from Amsterdam and "sleep" in the bus to go to Tulip Inn Sevenum hotel near Germany.
finally we arrived the Tulip Inn Sevenum (Kleefsedijik 29, 5975 NV - Sevenum, The Nederlands) although the bus driver seems to be drive in the wrong way as it took about 3 and half hour for us to reach the destination as shown below.

sorry no picture due to slow internet connection and it is quite late in the midnight. (no time update yesterday post, re-updated at 15th September using Achat Hotel paid Wifi)

today i woke up at 6.55am.
somehow i was awakens by the hotel's management for the morning call.
after getting myself prepared, we went to have our breakfast at the Tulip Inn Sevenum hotel's lobby.
around 7.30am i just have the breakfast that was a buffet style and come with bread, jam, ham, egg, different cereal milk, orange juice and others.
then i just have my bath and pack up all the necessary stuff before departing as we will make a move around 9.10am after the check out.
the first stop that we will going to stop by was Germany Cologne Köln if i am not mistaken.
somehow i liked the story shared by the coach all along the way the journey as he can talking non stop for few hour sharing a lot of story.

there is one story that is quite pity to listen was the Hitler Nazi army troop related plan to kill some people that they feel useless to the society by telling lie to a those people that they are going to concentration camp and killed them with poisonous gas while the young one was forced to be slave to build up the military things.
another meaningful quotes that he shared was about "eat to live, or live to eat" and "all ways link to Rome" related story.
moreover, the European people are more concerned with human rights and everyone is doing their own specialized job.
for example, a window cleaner will not responsible to wash the floor and others related story.
actually i had recorded the whole 2 hour + another 1 hour of his story sharing in my phone but not able to upload in Soundcloud due to some problem in the iTools file.

as we arrived to the Cologne Köln city center, it seems that there is nothing much to see other than the Cathedral church that have about 600+ years history.
anyways, i just took some picture around there and spend €5 to buy some souvenir.
around 11.45am we make a move from the city and head to the Loreley although i not sure whether it is the Rhine drive since i not very understand about it.
when we arrived the Loreley Panorama restaurant around 1.40pm, we was served with the one of the German's famous dishes which is the Pork Knuckle as shown below.

moreover, the small cup of white beer that cost for €2.20 seems to be having quite bitter for me as below.

after having our lunch, i just took some picture around there as shown below.

around 3.40pm we make a move from there and head back to our hotel.

besides, the coaches continue to talk for a while and we arrived to some petrol station to buy something as shown below.

then we arrived somewhere near Heidelberg around 4pm as we continue to make a move along the way.
somehow i do have some strong feelings about the Heidelberg city when the tour guide said that it  is related to printing industry.
it is because it does remind me about my past when i was in the old factory whereby most of the machinery was under Heidelberg name.
however, most of the business owner for printing industry had decided to buy printing machinery from China.
furthermore, the tour guide also mention that Albert Einstein and Henry Ford also came from the Heidelberg university.

on the other hand, the tour guide also said that we might not able to go to the BMW and other automobile car manufacturer tomorrow nearby Munich and i do feel a bit disappointed.
in addition, the story that shared by the tour guide about the LV bag and some very luxuries branded item seems to be quite interesting.
overall i can conclude that the tour guide that guide us along the way seems to be a very experienced tour guide and have a lot interesting story to share.
around 7.10pm we arrived the ACHAT Comfort Hotel Bretten (Am Seedamm 8, 75015 Bretten) that nearby to Stuttgard Bretten and the facility seems to be just okay although there was no Free Wifi available.
somehow i just spend €3 for the Wifi connection although i don't really understand what the meaning as it was in another language.

well, i not sure why the Google Translate seems to be failed to translate the sentences below.
____________________________________________
Willkommen im Hotspot der ACHAT Hotels.
Sie haben sich erfolgreich in unser Gästenetz angemeldet.
Ihre Sitzung wird automatisch geschlossen, wenn Sie länger als 60 Minuten keine Onlineaktivitäten vornehmen.
____________________________________________
after that some moment past, i went to the nearby Mc Donald and pass by the BMW shop as shown below.

somehow i do wonder that buying a BMW seems to be quite affordable if i manage to earn the Euro dollar and spend the Euro money here right?
moreover, i just bought the €2 Mc Chicken deal for two set and it seems to be quite worth as shown below.

it is because the normal set for Mc Donalds would be cost about €6 to €7 in the European country.

around 10.30pm we finally reach back to the hotel room and the walking journey took about 15 minute to walk back Mc Donald passing by the road as shown below.
somehow i was quite happy because the Wifi connection still able to connection as i thought it would only last for 60 minutes.
frankly speaking, i really hope that i can write about the things that happened to me during the 15 days and 14 night Europe trip by Tong Hang agency so that i can know whether it is worth to follow a tour guide or backpacking just like ourfirst day of Europe trip.
seriously i do hope that someone can blog about the whole journey of the Sheffield Hallam University experience to the Europe Trip for most of the Tarc College advance diploma student although i do feel that it might not be worth for me to spend such money since i do not come from the rich family background. (who is willing to spend time to do for free?)
however, one thing i was very clear and do feel worry about was my future because it is so competitive when compared to last time if i did not have any unique advantage to fulfill my basic need as the world seems to be "everything is talking about MONEY" just like what the coach say today about "live to eat or eat to live" as it does not have right or wrong to say so too.
