Kanda Tuah had a great time in Wingham~

Canterbury,

South East England.

The longest journey ever made was to place we all already known, researched, and intimately described. Yet that journey, which might have done nothing but confirm established views, provided all mankind with a revelation. The journey was, of course to the moon.

It should not have been all that surprising, for that has always been the true purpose of travel: to see, experience, feel and understand distant place, but then to find another reward to gain a deeper knowledge of home, of one's culture of oneself.

The first time i traveled, i mean i really traveled, out of my hometown, my country; would be my voyage to England, United Kingdom. Well, being in someones' country would make me feel nervous, but after some time, my worries faded and my interest grew. It's now been nearly seven months since i first stepped down in the UK. In the vicinity of seven months, my true journey only begun yesterday when i went to a countryside in Wingham,Kent to experience the real life of a British country-people.

It was Carol's place that I went to, my tutor's  adorable countryside cottage with spacious yard filled with animals, plants and of course, flowers! The journey to Wingham from Canterbury town took me and my friends about 15 minutes by bus. We were about to missed the stopping point when we met Yasmine, Carol's daughter on the bus. Having no clue that we would meet Yasmine, there was nothing else that we can do except thanked her for being there.  At the cottage, I met Wild's family. John; Carol's husband their son ( i can't remember the name) and the surprised was, we were introduced to sooty and sweep, Wild's family lambs which they have been kept as pets. Malaysians might think having lambs as pets is a peculiar doing, but here in the UK, it's considered normal.

I have to admit, Wingham did reminded me of my hometown back in Kota Bharu. The atmosphere was likely the same. The shady trees, the birds chirping, and yeah, with no chilly wind and tulips of course! But, the flashback of my hometown did came to me. That was for sure.

yeah!! my hectic week has came to an end! I've done my micro taught, submitted my assignments, participated in Malaysian fest and the most important thing is, I've completed my short play! no more acting after this. i swear!! XD~

oke, the most memorable experience comes first. XP

my experience acting out the role of jester. a 'sengau' jester to be precise. to come out with the so-called enjoyable performance, my friends and i have been rehearsing the play for like months! i was given the role as Marlowe ( a friend of Shakespeare) initially, but then, as the rehearsal went on, Mike decided to change my role to jester. i dont know why, but people said the role of jester kinda suit my personality. freak!! haha~

one interesting info about being a jester. you can behave or act in any way that you like. well, the acts supposedly to be funny, and i tried to be one. during the real performance, i did become a crazy jester. i never knew that i can be that crazy. seriously. it never came to my mind that i would behave or act in such a way, acts stupid to make people laugh.sigh~

btw, the jester's costumes, my friends and me sew it on our own. it is our very own product! XD

  the queen sitting on her chair, Mike (our lecturer, standing at the back) and me as a jester

the production team! not all are my team members. this is just a combination from the other teams XP

Marlowe and I

the second memorable thing is, Malaysian Fest! it was amazing. seriously. i love the people, the clothes, the food, the dances, the songs and everything. i didn't take part in any dance performance tho, for i was assigned to handle a booth, Malaysian national costumes booth (walaopun asik lari je.XD). Yet, i did joined several dances and games. hoho.

 

  dato haili, rector  of IPG was there too

me living a hectic life lately and i'm sick of it. assignments just get on my wick, with drama rehearsals killing me slowly. my frantic attempts to get my essays done just added to my miserable.  i just need some rest for god sake. a short rest will do. sigh. i hate this. seriously!

btw, lots of people asking me the reason i deactivated my previous FB. well, it was a mess and i cant handle it anymore. i went out of my control. so i decided to create a new FB acc. please don't be offended if i didn't alerted you guys with the deactivation. i cant think straight at that time, forgive me for that.

tadi, masa dinner sempat lak citer sal demam. ajiz citer sal dia x makan nasi seminggu sebab demam. x de selera katanya. well, aku kalo demam pon memg x de selera. minum air suam je. nak wat camne.dah mmg selera mati terus.

masa kecik kecik dulu, penah sekali aku demam teruk. masa year 5 kalo tak silap. sampai seminggu duk umah x keluar sebb demam. nasib baik time tu cuti sekolah. kalo x sah sah aku x g sekolah.haha. satu family kot demam kecuali my dad yg maintain sihat dan macho. well, nama pon budak kan. demam siket mula la nak manja manja. time tuh, my mum pon demam sekali. kami anak beranak tido kat ruang tamu sebab tanak bg abah demam sekali.

yang paling aku ingat, time demam ni la time nafsu makan ilang. even tengok kfc pon cm tengok cenkodok pisang sejuk je. dekat seminggu gak la makan paksa rela. bukan tanak makan, tapi kalo mkn rasa pahit giler.siyes pahit. even minum air milo pon rasa pahit. betol cakap aku. percayalah.

so far, kat england ni, aku penah demam sekali je. x teruk sangat la. cuma batuk yg cam harem. nak terkeluar anak tekak duk atok.siyes!! nasib baik ade kawan kawan and senior yg baik hati yang ambek berat. well, rasa terharu jugak la. hehe~

hi peeps,

Another cold day in Canterbury. i was shivering on my way to the campus. it was icy cold with 5 degrees temperature and had been maintain till early evening. the current temperature is 3 degrees and luckily me now in my own warm room, with a small heater appliance next to my only window. well, it sounds weird but somehow i do enjoy today's weather. i love the cloudy atmosphere with calm wind blowing. it soothes me. for the whole day, there was no sun shining. they were only gray chunky clouds together with light rain fall. sounds freak aye, for someone to love such weather.
