My favourite foods?
I went to COSTCUTTER(a grocery shop in my campus) to buy some groceries and snack because I was so starved yesterday after watching movie and realized that I had nothing left to eat >.>
I bought 海鲜酱 and some chicken and decided to make one of my favourite foods in Brunei. But... I end up fail because I added too much sauce and it turned up too salty haha but well it tasted nice in another way =p
And I cooked a simple egg soup with sesame oil. And the chicken stock I used was weird... It is yellow in colour. And so, my soup became yellow in colour and tasted a bit different.
My dinner!!!
Chicken thighs with seafood sauce
Yummy egg with sesame oil soup

Movie @ Warwick
Tonight I went to watch movie with my flatmates. We watched "the boat that rocks" it is a nice movie. I like it quite much and so the others do. Well, this cinema is run by students and it is actually a lecture hall. But the environment is not bad to watch a movie.
Taken at the seat I sat.
Those are my flatmates walking in the cold to the cinema.
Well just another vain me XD

My new iPhone
Omg.... After months of waiting I finally get my iPhone and now I am entitled to unlimited data access and wifi within UK which is pretty cool. I can go online everywhere I want and now I can blog everywhere I want hehe and this is my 1st attempt to blog using it =D
My flatmate had 14th shot with this bomb before he off to club lol
I didn't go to the club instead I went to some sort of old bar restaurant near my flat, VARSITY. The place is nice and the foods is cheap and drinks also nice lol. I just like that place .
This was taken on our way back to Heronbank. Those are the ppl live in my floor and flat. Nice peeps!

Greetings from Warwick!!!
Hello Peeps!!!
Currently I am in my university already and staying in my ensuite room. I know I should have updated my blog like days ago when I reached london. HAHA but the internet around Brunei Hall really sucks =.= I can't even chat properly and so I was lazy to post anything regardings london.. especially upload those photo because it just kept on failing.
And I reach my accomodation and I am in the Orientation programme for international students now. This event ends on this Friday so.. I guess I will upload all those photos and together with all the rubbish stories on Saturday!
So yea.. stay tune on Derick's Blog =)
P.s I am doing really fine here and I am just tired of walking over a great distance >< but well I enjoyed it somehow. And I want to say that my room is awesome and big =) That's all.

Shopped!
Yesterday, I went to my University(Warwick) and its city centre, Coventry for one day trip visit. I was asked by a girl who is going to the same university and same hall as me, to go coventry to open our bank account. So yea, since I had nothing else to do, so I went.Well, not only both of us.. her sis was following too =) dun think wrong... =.=We took a coach from Victoria Station to Coventry.. Omg.. 3 hours couch ride is nightmare.. my ass was pain =.= and another 3 hours back to london. =S The city of Coventry freaked me out alot... a damn "kampung".. like so empty and... well totally different from london. =.= But the university of warwick made my mood nicer =) I love the campus very much.. It is huge and need to walk much. When I arrived there, first thing came in mind was that I need to get a bike. hahahI went to visit my accomodation, Heronbank. It is awesome. Look like hotel.. so relaxing the atmosphere and scenery. The negative side is just that there is too many ducks around.. so all the pathway is full with duck shit =.= and feathers. hahah maybe i could have made some duvet from those feathers AHHAAHI was trying to get the status letter from the university to open my bank account, but I couldn't get it.. I can only get it next week(1week before my course start).. that is sad... I didn't get anything done in coventry but just view all those scenery. And ride a 40min bus from the city to my uni =SSSAnyway, it was really a tiring day =/ And today! I went to shopping alone! Because everyone was busy with their own stuffs. Kong and Kon went to Lego's land with his sis and I can't follow because they bought their tickets already. I had a english breakfast @ aberdeen steak house. It was nice and worth the money, 7pounds (2 toast, 2 bacon, baked bean, sausage, 1 sunshine egg, mushroom and 2 harshbrown).Then, I just walked around those streets. I went to Zara and bought 1 jacket and 2 t-shirt. I went to Next which they had their 50% off! So I bought a jean there with just 15pounds(down from 38pounds). And I went to Bershka and bought 1 jacket and 1 jean. LOL 3 days after baru I started to shop around. HEHETomorrow will be another shopping day for me but I don't have much pounds left with me ><
Anyway, I am very tired now. I will post again! stay tune!!

HEY!
HEY HEY HEY!!!! I am posting in LONDON!!!Now, I am in the transit room in Brunei Hall. A lot of students arrived on 23rd Sept. So the flight is full as well as the hall itself. So crowded and tiring...The 16hours flight is... consider a nightmare.. I thought it would be fun but.. I am wrong.. totally wrong.. The plane shook all the way of the trip(well, sometimes) and I can't even sleep properly.. so I was 16hours awaken... lol But I had a new and rare experience in this flight. During the flight, YeePing and Weideng were talking outside the toilet and I was curious then I went there as well, then more and more ppl gathered there like sort of a gathering there... and none of the steward chase us back to our own seat, instead they talked with us and served us some "business class" foods and we started to explore things at the back. And we took some photos there.We reached Dubai International Airport but it was midnight and we just wandering around for around half an hour.. so nothing much we did there.. I just managed to get to the duty-free shop... nothing special.. nothing much...London.. I like those buildings in London.. they are cool and elegant! (photo will upload asap when I get a stable internet) Brunei Hall isn't that bad as I heard.. it is stayable... at least I get a bed and pillow and blanket =)The weather here is fine.. not that crazy cold. Just cool! like you stay in an aircon room. The terrible part is just when it rains in the night. It is like dripping cold water with ice cube in it on you in an aircon room. That I would consider as freezing in the case. Anyway, I just like(love) the weather here.. sunny but cool.. I can enjoy the sun as well as the breeze =)I had McDonald for my lunch and a chinese food for my dinner in london for my 1st day =) Foods here is not cheap!!! and for restaurant they charge addition 10% upon your receipt.. it is painful to eat outside! My dinner was 12.87pounds! but my lunch was 1.99pound ^^ I got a McD voucher at the street. =)))The shopping in London is awesome!!! Countless shops and streets.. Too many things to see but I have limited time/energy/money =( Well, lucky I have a few days in London before I go to my uni.. So I can shop slowly and decide which one to buy.. The price is not cheap but reasonable.. 一分钱一分货Now, I wanna get myself a light jacket or windbreaker so I can carry around easily.. rather than carry my heavier one.. and it is bulky as well. hahaWell, I hope next post I could upload some photos.. and thats all for today!
