Night View of Edinburgh...夜景

Edinburgh Friday night Old Museum 
Edinburgh University -night view

After I given a talk in Buddhist Society, I walked alone on the street. I walked with no purpose, just want to see how the Edinburgh look like at the night. The weather was so cold and today is Friday night, the street crowded by many people. Expectedly, the bars, restaurants and clubs were very happening. But, anyway I still walked on the street alone, I stopped at the T-junction for 15 minute and then just looked at the street. The cars came and gone, in this old city I feel lonely and I'm just like not belong to this city; my home is so far from me. Ya, it is really lonely cold night anyway......

Third weeks....I am so stupid!

I am so stupid! Now i only found out that I totally don't know how to use oven & microwave. Due to my cooking skills is terrible and I don't want to test my cooking Kung Fu again, then I have to choose others cooking methods to prepare my food. My buddha! after I bought all the microwave food, and I stand in front the microwave and look at it.....alamak, I don't know how to open the microwave, and how do put the food in. In the end, I need a friend to teach me how to operate all this stuff, very malu!

现在才知道在家煮饭的妈妈们是多么的伟大，尤其是煮了二十多年饭给我吃的嬷嬷。先在吃饭时间是我的恶梦；在家时，吃饭是我的享受。有时吃的时候也不在管好不好吃，填饱肚子就算了。我做所有事情都是充满信心的，但是除了煮饭！

Improved recipe : Hot-dog+egg+Spaghetti +Instant Soup

my study place

The weather is really cold. Even the day time time the temperature  is around 10 degree Celsius. And I just settle my apartment, located at the main street, very noisy, because got a bus station there. However, the indoor environment is nice. Yeah, I have improve my cooking skill now (a litter bit lah) at least, I know put a soup on top of the spaghetti, but still with hot-dogs. This is the most wonderful meal that I can make here. In fact, I miss Malaysia food a lot! Malaysia may be is not a perfect country, but I strongly believe that Malaysia's food is the best in the earth and the moon. Wish all of you HAPPY MOON CAKE FESTIVAL!

My meal...我的食物

buy from mini-market: Hot-dogs + Source
cooking pot
every days meal: Hot dog + spaghetti

I not a good cooker, instead I never cook at home for last 25 years. In Edinburgh, I no idea what I going to cook for my daily meal. What I can cook is a very simple meals which is easy to cook and understood. I even don't know how to use kitchen's stuffs, it is too bad. However, the hot-dog + spaghetti was the first 'proper meal' I cooked in Edinburgh. But, I can tell you that the taste was really bad, only hot-dogs can be eaten. aiyo.... cooking is the most difficult thing in my world.

This is the place that I have my lunch every day

Today I visited the Royal Scotland Museum, it just opposite my school. The museum is huge and the design is amazing. Now I only know that engine inventor James Watt was born in Edinburgh. Suddenly, I feel very close with this great person, I stay in the same place with this great inventor that has been change the world.  The original engine modal still displayed in museum. In fact, these two days I only work in workshop which located at basement. The good thing todays was I found a pack of Maggie mee, hahaha...... today my dinner was the best ever, sausages, eggs, and Maggie in Tom Yam. This is the greatest food for me in Edinburgh. 

Mamak stall is a greatest invention in the world!

Architecture school
My dinner:三粒生熟蛋＋面包
My dinner: 加多两粒熟蛋

Breakfast time: Breads + butter

This main problem I faced now is how to cook and what to eat. Price here is very expensive if convert to Ringgit. Today, I ate plums for my lunch, and evening I just taken 5 eggs as dinner. 一餐吃五粒蛋，真够力。但除了面包和蛋最便宜和现在的环境我所能之外，只好熬一傲咯。

虽然我对吃并不是很计较的人，但是还是非常想念Malaysia food, 便宜，方便又好吃。现在我想大声地告诉全世界说：mamak档是世上最伟大的发明！马来西亚的朋友请珍惜呀，还不快快去多吃一些？

First in Studio...去上学咯

我是我班上（MArch design) 唯一的亚洲人，又是一个人来，感觉怪怪的。还好，这里的人都很友善，很乐于助人。这里上课时间蛮自由的，课程也蛮有趣。The first project we going to do is not a design building project, but it is a WORKSHOP. The workshop ask us to do (not just design on paper) a structure modal with concrete. We have to cast concrete with fiber fabric. Their said: Building is a verb not a noun. 

By the way, here is very very cold, I have to cover my with many layers even when I sleep. 但是，这里的风景非常美，非常古典和浪漫。犹如现代人活在一个几百年的古城里，象Harry Potter一样。

The first day...第一天

这个旅程并不简单，从KLIA to Singapore, than from Singapore to London, finally from London to Edinburgh. The trip taken almost 18 hours. 最长的一程是从Singapore to London,在那小小的机舱里做了13个小时。

在London check in 也花了将近两个小时，又脱鞋子又要看文件，非常花时间。过后，又要在机场里等三小时，哗，真要命！

The day I departed...出发当天

&uot

This was an unforgettable day I ever been. My family took me to the KLCC, the time was running off gradually , I wanted to leave them very soon. Finally, time forced me to get in the gate, I just hugged each of my family members and kissed girlfriend, then get in the gate quickly. I don't dare to look back again, but I know my mum & girlfriend's eye was being tearing.  In same time, I hear my Dad shouting to remind me :TAKE CARE! I try to keep my tear, and take a deep breath;walk toward the custom. Now, my lonely journey begun....

而到了上机着一天，一家人都去机场送我机。难忘的是入闸那一刻，虽然是短短几分钟，但的确看着妈妈嬷嬷和女友的眼睛一下只就红了。临别前，我拥抱在场的每一位亲人，还亲了女友一下，就快快入闸了。回头再望望他们的红着的眼，只有难舍和期待。爸爸还在大声喊着一路小心，看了非常感动。但我却选择强忍泪水，抓紧拳头，大步地向关口走去。现在，终于真的一个人上路去了。

           强忍眼泪，回头再望家人。 入闸前夕

          

女友，你要照顾自己呀！
可爱的家人

出门那一刻
