First Day In Sheffield Yorkshire

today i woke up at 12pm.
actually this was the continue part of yesterday flying with Emirates airlines post as i was on the plane around 7am as in Malaysia time.
then i just feel so tired and sleep on the plane but in the mean time the plane still having some meal session.
anyways, i can't really sleep well and the moment i woke up was at 12pm.
somehow my leg and hand started to shiver as i having my breakfast provided in the plane.
after that, i continue to watch the final Hotel Transylvania movie and listened the "I'm Still Loving You by Shiga Lin"song since it was the only Chinese song that i liked most in the Emirates plane.
around 2.15pm i reached Manchester airport and took a picture of it as below.
then we are require to fill out the UK immigration form and "spot" the luggage.

somehow i do face some difficulties to find my luggage because there was so much other people luggage.
luckily i manage to find it and just wondering why the security seems to be not very tight because it looks like anyone can take away your luggage without any proper verification about the luggage is yours.
anyways, we was guided by the Sheffield Hallam University staff who were wearing green T-shirt and waited at the bus terminal and i just took some picture around there as below.
well, the weather was quite cold and it is similar to Genting Highland Malaysia by adding a little more cold.
seriously the things i require most at that time was water because i did not bring any water from Malaysia other than buying at the Dubai airport yesterday.
after waited for quite a long time, we finally make a move around 5.15pm from the bus terminal at the Manchester airport.

along the journey to Sheffield, i was feeling quite tired but still able to take some picture of the scenery as shown picture below.
finally we reach the "Pineapple" (Pinnacles) hostel around 6.45pm and waiting in the room for our number but most of it was occupied with 5 to 4 room which left only 3 room out of every 5 room.
anyways, below was some picture of my room at the hostel, living room and others.
then i just unload all the things and trying to install the Ask4u student CD for internet connection.
well, i do face some difficulties when i was "trying to be"honest" where i received some message as below.
__________________________________________
Did you take a cable?
Did you get a network cable from us? The cost of the cable and getting it here for you is a little more than £3.00. This is much cheaper than in the shops and a lot easier for you.

In order to reward your honesty we are giving half of the money you pay for the cable to good causes; 75p will go to Western Park Hospital Cancer Charity and 75p will go to reducing the carbon emissions of the cable production and transportation.
__________________________________________
anyways, it was solved when i untick the option after i contact the customer support as my account was "banned" previously as i failed to pay the money as shown below.
therefore the first advice when get the CD was never ever "tick" the option although i have received the cable since i not very sure about it.
besides, the goodies bag also come with a free SIM card from Lycamobile and it cost about £10 for unlimited data plan as shown below.
however, another friend suggested that Lebara telco provide greater deals of £5 per month.

anyways, i just tested the speed of the internet and it was around 12MB download speed as shown below.
therefore i continue to watch the Hunter X Hunter anime and finally finish watch until the latest 81th episode.
on the other hand, the timetable for the first weeks tend to be quite free as there was only 2 days need to attend the class which is this coming Tuesday and Wednesday as below.
after that, i followed my friends walk around the Sheffield Yorkshire city and found the item in 99p shop was quite cheap for certain item as shown below.
besides, i also bought somethings from 99p shop and the tibits that caught my attention was McCoy's which remind me of "MeCoy" blogger as shown below. (don't know why, LOL)
then we just have our lunch (UK time) where we just buy some breads at the Greggs The Bakers shop as it cost me around £2 for it.

finally i arrived back the hostel around 7pm (UK time) and just have instant noodles as my dinner.
later on, one of my relative who stayed near London phoned me asking my current situation.
through the phone call, she told me that it is better not to buy at 99p shop since it was not very fresh.
actually it is quite complicated to express this kind of feelings as there was so much thought again as i don't feel to say about it because sometime "a things" is better keep in myself since the thought was very negative although the main of writing blog was try to express as much feelings as possible.
perhaps i would be more real if i did not know someone in real life know about me.
overall today i saw a lot of "guailou" (foreigner) and some girls looks quite beautiful although it was not the type of girls that i like.
moreover, i think some of British people like to use the word "Yo, mates" when talking.

anyways, the night is quite hard to dark as the sky is still so bright around 9~10pm and i was facing the same scenery whenever i was sitting in front of my room as shown picture below.
seriously what i concern now was my English level still stuck in the secondary school level as i do not speak well in it as i was like those "kampung" (rural) area people talking English.
until this moment, i do having a little thought about my ex-classmate wondering what was their feeling during last year and i do saw some picture about "something" although i keep telling myself don't talk about it anymore since long time ago.
at last, here was the end of my first day in Sheffield Yorkshire and i decided that my next post will start writing in UK time as my 2th June post was still in pending mode where i just started to write this post.
in fact, i still struggling whether to write or not to write but still continue to write although it is quite time consuming.
maybe i can track in such a way about how i can control my expenses in UK life.
(Self Expenses note: Today £5)
