When Internet Unavailability Strikes..

Posted in Blog on July 31st, 2009

And so, while i am still not finding any excuse to upload some Turkish stories, internet unavailability in my room strikes again.

Could be a good sign, it’s been pretty productive without the usual distraction of faceemailbooksocmsncernetskype shit.. but then i got too desperate.. came over to cemus library, rang the bell a couple of times.. well it’s summer in Sweden and u know wat happens when it is summer here, basically nothing related to people being in offices.. and most of the university building, labs and library, are haunted by oxygen and nitrogen.

Damn, the central square usually the most happening spot, looks a little bit too sad at the moment..

Finally had someone to open the door for me and so I re-enter the base of internet world again.

Geez, I’m all alone in this place, could get a little spooky when it is dark, and well.. I shall only have these 2 nice IKEA lights accompanying me, left and right, nothing from above, and definitely nothing from behind.. hopefully..

Oh and in this darkness, hopefully i won’t see this scary sight of my damn peely but not hurty shins..

ps: This does not count as a valid posting watsoever..

Gosh i hate this bloggy MIA of mine. But with the past month of “summer holidays”, guessed the hiatus could be justified. While a blog entry for the 4 week Turkish delights had to wait, let’s see wat could be shared on my 3 days UK short visit to Ching Yen and Kwan Seng’s.

The ticket of flying from Antalya back to Stockholm cost much more than a transit in London, which gave me no excuse to not drop by a say a good hi and recharge my Malaysian buddyhood. And I was in for so much more than i didn’t even planned for.

The church was one of the most beautiful i’ve seen. And believe me, throughout my time here, i have seen enough churches to be in a rightful position to claim so.

Fan of Harry Potter? not that much, but when I walked in this dining room, the sudden rush of goosebumps just made me feel so magical. I could smell him, her, and him again.. This was the dining room spot of where the 1st HP chapter was shot.

Walking around Oxford College gave me shivers and glimpses of the Harry Potter movie, it really does, as for HP fans, I could imagine that this flashes could be very intensive. Until you come across a place that pronounces the name of the object of heavenly graces, and as a matter, a whole house of it!

And so it was time to cool down, with this..

I have just had probably 4-5 banana ice cream in my life, but being a seasoned self-proclaimed banana lover – this is the best banana ice cream ever! The freshness of the ice cream could be easily tasted by the single lick, and i was thankful that it was a UK weather – that i could enjoy this stick as long as i would like, not worrying of the meltiness it would experience if i were to eat it in Malaysia.

Seems special? Not so until you know that this used to be lived by William Shakespeare. Again, was imagining how amazing Shakespeare’s fans and followers would have been with this.

Could be as intense as these gooses and ducks along the river..

And what’s more, there was an awesome treat of Bak Kut Teh! well, unfortunately pork ribs were not sold in Tesco that day, so we had to settle with Qi Kut Teh, the chicken counterpart of this awesome treat. And yen, you really made my day. It had been exactly 1 year ago that i could even smell and get indulged in such a luxury. I could even smell it at this moment of typing.

What seems to be a very good visit location wise is nothing compared to the people that you spent the time with. I always stick to this principle and always walk by it. And till then time comes to say good bye, I always find myself refraining, holding back the wetness in my eyes.

Thanks for the lovely moment~!

ps: there is a sudden increase of “comments” by “visitors” which are “genuine”. This action and intention is very clear to me, and my responses shall always be reserved to those that are genuine.
