hullo world!=)
landed at heathrow airport terminal 3 this morning at 5am! the airport was so sparse and empty! my sep at the university of nottingham is not going to be such a lonely affair afterall as there are 6 other nus students here as well... so far managed to meet up with 5 out of the 6. the last person came here earlier and made his way to the university by himself. me and the other 5 took the same flight to heathrow... haha... what a coincidence!
thats me with my hot chocolate and melt-in-your-mouth marshmallows floating on top + bacon sandwich at bite cafe. total cost of brunch: GBP5.35 = SGD11 = ouch!
i must say that singapore really has a world class airport. it has all the things that you need, ranging from cheap fast food to expensive fine cuisine; FREE high speed wireless connection; toilets everywhere and the list continues. here in heathrow, all we've got are 2 cafes serving coffee and bread stuff... a pub serving decent savoury food but its price is way beyond our budget for our first meal... no fast food... yes... no fast food in all of its 4 terminals! and only 1 toilet available in terminal 3.
the 6 of us lazing around at heathrow at 5 in the morning
so we lazed around termianal 3. we pushed our luggages up and down the terminal, wasting time, trying to decide which place to settle down for a brunch. then finally 11am came and the university bus came to ferry us to our respective residences.
i'm staying in cripps hall. the room is something like that of the halls in nus, slightly bigger and more spacious, carpetted and fitted with a bar fridge and basin. my neighbours are pretty friendly people... haha... and one of them offered to show me the way to sainsbury tomorrow after dinner! woots! grocery shopping! fruits! and milk!
most of the time in my hall room today was spent unpacking, arranging, getting used to the place. now i'm all wrapped up and ready to go to bed cuz its too cold here in nottingham! its like freezing when u take a slow stroll out of your block to the dining room less than 100m away! but the good dinner makes up for the chittery chattery walk... i had roasted chicken, potato wedges, a berry pie and juice... enough to fill my stomach!=)
okie dokes... not much interesting stuff today... will have to start planning my weekend getaways to scenic parts of uk! stay tuned!=)
many loves for my girlfriend!<3<3
