today i woke up at 6.45am.
then i just quickly get myself prepared and have the same biscuit as my breakfast.
after that, i went to buy my ticket as usual from West Ruslip and arrived Holborn at 8.35am.
during the morning, the tutor just gave us an answer sheet for our yesterday's homework without explain anything of it.
after that, it is continued with the vocabulary of new words and learning something that we use daily as shown picture below.
somehow i just feel that the thing that being teaches there seems to be a lower level for me since i know most of the things as i started to feel that it might be a waste of money where those "negative thought" start to flow through my brain. (If you place your situation in my shoes, how would you feel?)
next, we're require to talk about different English skills such as grammar, vocabulary, scenario, study skills and writing skills.
besides, i think it would be true that most of the Korean girl has went through plastic surgery or beauty related treatment when another Korean friend told me about it when the question was about "Have you ever done any local anesthetic" related treatment.
after the morning class end at 12.30pm, i just went to attend the next class at 12.45pm.
somehow i just feel that the teacher seems to be not very "professional" when he gave us an excuse that the listening session might not working just like yesterday and continue with giving us an article to read about "meetings are a waste of time" where it is just a chit chat session.
during the afternoon, i walked to the nearby Mc Donald's and ordered chicken mayo for £1 as my lunch.
somehow i start to have some "weird thought" again when i was alone where i wondered whether education is rich people games to pass their time or any other way.
it is because i start to feel that i seems to be "wasting my time" if i think in a negative way instead of learning things in a positive way.
perhaps it was due to of a thought that if i were to convert my daily "English education tuition fees+transport+food" cost, it would be around RM400 (£65+£10) per day.
seriously anyone can imagine how hard to earn RM200 for a day in Malaysia especially you're just graduate and the average people earn around RM1000 to RM2500 for a month.
moreover, i just saw some news saying that people in Malaysia are complaining the government for not approving the RM500 BRIM as some claim they are earning RM900 a month which i not sure true or not.
therefore not much people will understand that i am being so particular about the money spend for a day since i did not come from a rich family.
frankly speaking, i was feeling quite "funny" about myself that why that day, before Europe Trip start that i agree to stay for the English course just to take up the challenge after being persuaded to think about it again.
well, if i didn't accept it and being reject it after 3rd time, i might be happy going back to Malaysia but on the other way that i am avoiding the problem and disappoint my cousin's favor and effort. (欠人家人情)
on the other hand, one of my friend had started to work in the kitchen related job and might able to save £600 (RM3000) every month if he did not spend much on other things since the salary was about £1000 for a month as accommodation and food is provided too.
therefore this might be one of the reason why some Asian people would prefer to "jump aeroplane".
in fact, i don't think much people can save an amount RM3000 if your salary is RM3500 back in Malaysia.
however, not much people would understand the hardship of the story behind because the kitchen related job start from 12pm to 11pm and last for 6 days a week.
all of this happening might be due to the low salary in Malaysia where the salary seems to be not changed much after 10 years but the living cost keep increasing.
so would you like to accept this kind of job if you place yourself in another person point of view?
Throughout life, from childhood, from school until we die, we are taught to compare ourselves with another.
Yet when i compare myself with another, i am destroying myself.
In an ordinary school where there are a lot of boys, when one boy is compared with another who is very clever, who is the head of the class, what is actually taking place?
You are destroying the boy, that's what we are doing throughout life.
Now, can i live without comparison with anybody?
This means there is no high, no low, there is no one who is superior and the other who is inferior.
You are actually what you are and to understand what you are, this process of comparison must come to an end.
If i am always comparing myself with some saint or some teacher, some businessman, writer, poet and all the best, what has happened to me? What have i done?
I only compare in order to gain, in order to achieve, in order to become.
But when i don't compare, i am beginning to understand what i am.
Beginning to understand what i am is far more fascinating, far more interesting, it goes beyond all this stupid comparison.
To understand yourself is the beginning of Wisdom.
in fact, i think it is useless for me to give advice to others people since myself was not successful but maybe you can get some idea after finish read my whole life for the past 5 years as you might be able to "awaken" if you're still 18 years old this year for not following the mistake that i had made.

around 2.30pm i went back to the school to attend the next class and it is about the economic related stuff.
the teacher gave us an article about the great deceleration and continue explain some economic term.
honestly, that session don't really help me much since i have been almost graduate soon as i was waiting my SHU degree's result released in this coming 22nd October 2013.
after the class end, i didn't asked to join the one of the Switzerland's classmate birthday as i don't wish to spend money for food.
around 6pm i make a move from the English school and walked to Holborn underground tube station.
well, i seems to be start adapting the local culture where people would always read those free London Evening Standard newspaper inside the train.
finally i arrived back home at 7pm and felt quite tired but i start to feel stress about this coming Friday's presentation where i need to talk about my own's country economy. (must say all the good things about Malaysia since the video will be recorded~ >.<)
later on, i just have my dinner with my cousin and talk about today's happening although i felt stress during the moment of telling her about the things i learned.
besides, there was a lot of other's people story and i did feel a little stress when i wonder what it would be if it was happening to me?
after that, i have a quite long conversation with her husband and trying to understand more about the ways of British people speaking.
before i end my post, i would like to share an interesting picture about "Don't Compare Yourself With Others" by Zen as shown below.
