nice people everywhere

what im going to share now is about a few nice people that i've met in the UK in just the 1st four weeks since i arrived here. its really grateful to have met them and received their helps and cares in this new environment. They just made me feel warm!

The first person that i wanna talk about is my boss in my pharmacy, OMG...he is the kindest boss that i've ever met. im wondering is it because of us being the same race (he is a BBC) and thats why he takes extra cares of me? but no matter what, its a fact that he is a very good example to be learnt from, his professionality in his pharmacy career, his bussiness-mind as a branch manager and his attitude in doing everything...he is so close to perfect but haha...nobody in this world is perfect! well, i sincerely appreciated that he allows me to go to the pharmacy late and go home earlier just to match my time with the bus schedule (and if you dont know, the co-operative pharmacy in selston is about 1 hour bus ride from the city! its a superly remote place), im really touched of what he has agreed. Because of his special allowance, i've got to work less hours but getting the same paid, what a good deal rite! also because of that, i even get home earlier than Christine who is working at Wollaton which is only about half an hour walk distance from our house in Dunkirk, that kinda makes me proud of the branch that i've gotten eventhou its so far away, haha. and...my boss is a really nice tutor because he is so so knowledgable and smart. I've got this summer placement workbook to be completed and he guides me alot in doing it and always inspiring me in whatever pharmacy-related issues. One thing im not quite get use to is that he always emphasise the importance of Standard Operating Procedures (S.O.P) and that makes me feel really stress while working with him. maybe thats the way he likes to stay with, thats how he has made til the person he is today...*respecting by bowing* other than his professionality in the pharmacy, he is also very good in promoting chinese restaurants and groceries shops in Notts (lol, does this count too) im really appreciated for all the nice places he has recommended and i'll definitely pay a visit when im free, i can probably do it this week since im having a one week break and next week im going to visit XINYUN in IRELAND!!! OMG...cant wait to see her!

okay, u can check more of my working pictures in facebook. and now im going to talk about the 2nd nice person, nono...probably de 2nd nice gang of people, they come in a group, aha. u must be wondering who am i saying...well, they are the bus drivers! Rainbow 5 and Rainbow 1 are the buses that i took to get to my work place, and because Selston is out of the boundary of the multiple ride access card, i had no choice but to buy FRio which gives me 3 free trips when i buy 10 trips at a time. so the good thing was, i didnt actually get to finish using all my trips in the bus tickets because of all these super duple nice bus drivers who purposely didnt want to punch a whole on my ticket and just let me onboard the bus. They wud either blink their eyes or give me a warm smile to show that they are being kind to me...well, i sincerely and truly appreciated their kindness....i hope i didnt cause any trouble to them with their company after that.

yea, probably the nice person that im going to talk about now is not the last nice person that i've met but dont you be surprised that there are really lots of nice ppl in the UK! there is this saying in mandarin 出门遇贵人, and now i totally understand its meaning. Just two days ago, me and christine went to Birmingham to visit my neighbour back in Penang, our house are just few units away. They are Susan and Peter whom i seldom met in Penang, one of the reason is that most of the time i was in kl the semenyih kampung and the other reason is that they are staying in Cotsall, Wolverhampton most of the time. Out of our expectation, we have received a super V.I.P treatment from them, we were too surprised with all the care that overwhelmed us for that 2 days, it was a fabulous trip for me! They brought us around Birmingham City (i just found out that Birmingham is the 2nd largest city in the UK), not only that but also a few nice old villages around Birmingham one of which the history is more than 500 years old, with the name of Bridgnorth, and the other village named Lichfield where the spectacular Cathedral is. i must mention here that Peter is definitely a good cook, he made a really yummy wantan mee for everyone and we have a family dinner with his son Josh and Chris. Its been glad to know them and especially the friendliness of them and the feeling of warm as if im back to my home! Besides that, we were being treated with delicious DIMSUM in a pretty elegant chincese restaurant in the chinese town, we even have our 1st fish n chips in the uk for our dinner, it was a really memorable one! wat was even more surprising me is that, Susan gave me lots of her winter clothes and Peter kept giving me his cooking paste and flavouring powder and also some cooking utensils like wok, pressure cooker and rice cooker....OMG, he even wanted to give me his TV but luckily i rejected it. Josh just made a joke that his dad would even give the car to me and the whole house will eventually belong to me, thats really laughable, LOL. well, I'vent finished praising their kindness, they even fetched us back to Notts and visited our university and treated us ice creames which me and christine have been craving it for so long. It was such a wonderful time being with them. I have gained lots of knowledge from them too,things like how to use ebay and do online bussiness...im planning to learn further about it and find a way of earning $$ online! its really tempting me for now when i really need cash $_$ how nice if you can earn money by just sitting infront of the computer, isnt it easy money?!

the selfridges in Birmingham city, one of the newest shopping paradise

the canal which can lead you to London or Manchester by boat! how nice if we sail it one day

the historical english village Bridgnorth as old as 500 years

this house was built in 1580 and stil standing firm, nice pattern of the house created by the wood

the old railway station in Bridgnorth, like those we can only find in de 15th century english movie

cooking fun in Peter's well-equipped kitchen, the birth of the highly recommended wantan mee!

the spectacular Cathedral in Lichfield, looks really gigantic and holiness

the wedding gharry rides the bride and groom to the church for a happy ending love story

the muzium of the Samuel Johnson who was the creator of the English Dictionary, now you know who has caused most students to buy it compulsory.

Peter and Susan's home sweet home, the warm living room with a warm cup of wooloong tea, wat a simple but heavenly leisure.

well, thats all for now. cant finish uploading all of the photos, you can find the rest in facebook, as usual. haha ^_^ i guess my next blog will probably be talking about my trip to Ireland, yea...just another week to go and i'll be there!!! YUN im coming!!!

jus luv Nottingham!

As you've seen from the title, yea im now in nott already!! its been one week and i cant belieave that im coping so fast and so so well than i've never expected! its actually a really nice place here in nott, as for now i meant, beacuse the weather is just nice for the human being to stay and the one thing that i must mention here is that i've met quite alot of really really super duple nice people within this week! and I realised that British is probably one of the most polite race in the world, erm...yea maybe Japanese is top in the list but British is definitely not far away from Japanese. They just love to say "thank you"...and even the public transport bus drivers also play their role in a very professional way, kept greeting "byebye goodluck thankyou x100" when you are getting down the bus and never get bored of saying that! I guess maybe i grew up in the kind of environment that the government does not really emphasise on the practice of good morality and ethics but instead they think that getting an A in pendidikan moral is more important...and so im now learning to be more polite in this brandly new environment, its really a lecture of life...

For the 1st 3 days, I've already explored to many places around Nottingham. It aint that big after all, just a few sites in the cities to be visited, we've seen the statue of Robin Hood and the Nottingham Castle, its really nothing great, but it worth a go if you are new in nott...just like me, LOL. Shopping is one of the nicest activities now because its now summer sales and I've bought my hand bag and wind breaker in the victoria centre with a super cheap price! Broadmarsh centre is a lower class shopping mall (but, victoria aint that highclass anyway...not as nice as Malaysia one) which you can find 99pence or 1pound shops! Dunkirk-the place that im currently staying now is really far from the place to shop for groceries, walking to Beeston for 20minutes is ok but when you are going back while carrying bags n bags of groceries, aha! u'll know how it feels when u try to walk back to Dunkirk. the only way to reduce the burden is probably taking Rainbow 5 which charge you 1.50pounds once onboard, not economic at all! im feeling lucky that im going to stay on campus when the term starts and Beeston is just 5/10 minutes walk from my accommodation hall, and all the bills like electricity, water, gas and internet are included in the rental which really worth the pay for sure. ^^

the old market square where i walk pass everyday to get de bus back 2dunkirk.

shopping at de city, its summer hot sales now!

tats de trent building of de university of nottingham

de nite of nottingham is when drinkers' life jus begun
