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]
