Finally, Alnwick Castle.

Finally I sit down and do something I used to do.
Post some photos of Alnwick Castle. Yea, it's long long time ago.

Before Alnwick Castle, we went to Holy Island. The weather was horrible that day.










After went to the don't know what castle in Holy Island, we couldn't stand the coldness and so we chose a cafe to sit down and had a cup of hot coffee. I enjoyed the moment. Hot coffee during winter :) :)
Like the art they did on the latte.





Cute and interesting tea set.






Finally we arrived Alnwick Castle.




The 2 birds.. but it doesn't seem to convey the feeling I wanted it to be.




Ok, finally here is one of the scene of Harry Potter.


It's the same place (above and below).





Can see the rainbow?!?!?! :)




Dont know which building is it.



Purple!!!!!!! Outside the church where we met up for dinner.


K, that's all for the Alnwick Castle trip.
Will post other trips' photos.

The bridges.

Finally I've decided to lay my ass on the chair and edit the bunch of photos, arrange them and upload them.
Btw, last Saturday, I went to Alnwick castle (hope I spelled it right) where part of the Harry Potter scenes took place, we departed at 6.30 in the morning and arrived home at almost 11pm. Whole day! Tiring. And the weather wasn't good. Indeed it's the worst weather so far since I came to UK.
Anyways, we also went to the Tyne bridge which is nearby our accommodation, and also the Millennium bridge. Actually I'm not sure if the 2 bridges mentioned are the same or not. -_-" And there're 2 bridges we saw, i don't know which is which.


On the way with walking..




Here goes the bridge. Tyne bridge I supposed?







Full view of it.



Keep on walking to the next destination - the Sage Gateshead where they go to the musical performance, opera..etc etc. I hope I'll go for a classical music performance or an opera with a beautiful dress. Ahhh so classy..HAHA!



3 of us outside the Sage. Obviously it's opposite the bridge. Still can see it.



The main entrance.


Full view of it.


Of course I couldn't miss taking a photo when I saw the very rare beautiful sunlight. Then we leave the Sage and proceed to next place..



Then we arrived to the Gateshead Millennium bridge.



Us trying to pose naturally on the bridge.


Before leaving the bridge. We saw people doing their stunts.



Kinda impressive. We stood there for about 5-10 minutes trying to capture there movement. After taking several photos of them, I walked down the bridge and when I turned my head, I saw there're much more people doing more stunts in the garden. So, it's not that impressive in the end. haha!


They were playing kites in case you all don't get it why I took this picture. But the kites didn't fly high.


Then we passed by the Law Courts. Law Courts with skater boys. Hmm..


Anyways, that's the end of our Tyne bridge walking trip. Then we went home after buying something in Tesco.
Will continue with other trips photos later. Of course for the Alnwick castle too! Hehe.

Btw, I went to Morrisons again. This time we didn't take the risk by pushing the trolley back to accommodation. Instead, we went there by car! So happy :) Thanks to our friend from HK, Billy who had been our driver to the Morrisons though it's only 5 minutes driving distance (it's almost 20 minutes for walking distance k!), because of him, we can finally walked proudly to the direction of the carpark with the trolleys, no more worry for the HEY-PUT-BACK-THE-TROLLEY kind of yelling.
Seriously, I'm glad to meet the new friends here, especially our housemate Cathy from HK as well, she is really nice man! She is now half of the M'sian. HAHA! And also some of our neighbours.

O yea, I took French language class finally!! I'm so freaking happy :) :) Can't wait for the first class to start. It's including exam and cert!! Yay!! I don't need to worry whether I get the pronunciation wrong by self-learning anymore!! HAPPY!!!!!!! :)

I've invented some food. Haha! Oatmeal + milk + honey + cut banana, put the ingredients one by one then cook together. It tastes not bad! HAHA!! 

K, go take a nap.

Enjoying the days :)

The connection was really bad these days. Can't even on MSN and Skype. Hope it'll get better.
Went to seminars today and it was ok. Have been busy with buying 'stock' for coming winter. I don't feel anything at all when I'm carrying the 2kgs parcel my mom sent me as I'm getting used to carry heavy stuffs, real heavy one! Gosh. Thanks to groceries. -_-" And also there's a really funny incident on our first Morrisons trip (Morrisons is one of the supermarkets like Jusco). Sigh. Don't know I should laugh or fear. Will talk about it when there's chance.

Anyways, will continue with some photos. Didn't really edit them except the contrast as I'm getting lazier. O, finally I need to charge my camera! After almost a week. This is the longest record for the life of the battery so far. Guess it'll extend to longer in the future. ...
Continue to post the first Ikea trip in UK with Janey them..


Saw this meaningful quote before the entrance.


Train centre where we took the train to Metro Centre and take the bus to Ikea, I think I mentioned that before.





6 of us in the train.



The bus station where we took the bus back to the Metro Centre from Ikea and take the train back home.



Played with the camera while waiting for the train..



Why do I always think their pose really got 'feel' like modeling, even they're just simply sitting there or eating or walking? Is it because of their faces? Or it's due to the foreign advertisement we always saw?












Walking home..





And!! I saw my dream little car.. hehe. I told myself the first car I'll buy myself in the future must be BEETLE!!! Must earn my own money and buy it. I don't need Ferrari or BMW k.. I just want Beetle!! HAHA! Ok la, Brabus also can. Lol.


Time to bed!
By the way, I just learnt that 'bonsoir' is not good night, it's only good evening. There's another words for good night in French. Bonne nuit. haha!
O ya, one more thing I like here in UK which is here got so many freebies everywhere!!!! And their free things are really useful!!! I'm so happy of getting all the stuffs. HAHA!
And another thing I'm really happy is that I'm materialising part of my dreams which is volunteering. I joined some of the societies involving charities and contribution to public. I joined 4 of them in total like United Nation, RAG (by our uni) etc. I'm really excited for the coming events! hehe!

K, should just stop here and sleep.
Nights!

Wake Up Alone.

Run around just so I don't have to think about thinking,
that silent sense of content that everyone gets,
just disappears soon as the sun sets..

New life.

Wanted to create a new blog but i haven't decided which blog to create. So i'll just continue using this until I find one new blog I like.

Anyways, I've taken some random photos since I flied off from KK.


At Dubai's airport.





First thing attracted me on the notice board in my room, a nice warm heart.

I think the previous tenant was definitely a girl.



First dinner meal- steamboat with my housemates, the girl with white T is from HK, others are from HELP too.



The cheapest shopping place!!!! HAHA! Love it! K not really cheapest, but is cheap!






On the way to St. James where has the football match.



But unfortunately, our purpose isn't the football match but China Town which is just opposite the football stadium. Saw many people cheering around, later then I knew from XH's boyfriend that Newcastle won the match.


Another day. We went to Ikea with Janey them. Way to the train which takes us to a place to take a bus to Ikea, yes, i think it's complicated -_-





Before arrived to the train centre, we passed by this church and took some random photos. Janey said that she went to that church before, or another one? Nvm, I forgot.
Anyways, here really doesn't have the dramatic sky as in malaysia with superior sunlight, sigh.


Well, photos will be continued as they're still in the progression of arrangement.
Go to bed now. Tomorrow need to go register for the medical thingy.
Nights.
