Take photos of dirty english streets? Prove the existence of unkempt hedges? Stuff myself silly with disgusting sounding foods that tastes nothing like what they sound like (Toad in the hole?! At first I even heard turd)? These are the answers to that repeated-over-a-1000-times question that other people help you answer before you have the chance to - “Why are you here in the UK?”

As I said, I never actually got to tell people that I had sort of planned to come here just to prove that the UK isn’t all that great (it wasn’t the first reason though, I knew for sure that a certain *cough*KBU*cough* place wasn’t all that great either). They’d usually assume that I came because I thought it WAS great. *insert laughter here*

Okay, so it’s not thaat bad. Relatively. The people aren’t starving, poop goes down the loo where and when it’s supposed to and you don’t see people killing one other people over video games. So it’s alll good. Oh, till everyone you talk to goes “Huh?” which makes you start to wonder if you might be retarded and not know it.

If you have to wear this to try and prove you’re not, you might be retarded after all

Or when you really need to talk to someone but the next person who asks you “You alright, mate?” (and i thought only Australians were going on with the mate thing) starts running if you say anything more than a “Yea” (with British accent). It’s like everyone hates you! Something something.

Wow, they have a t-shirt for every feeling I go through.

I don’t face the problems that most foreigners claim to face though, like needing to fly home NOW or almost dying if they can’t get their hands on Nasi Lemak and Teh Tarik. I could probably live on toads/turds, cheese, bacon, pudding (yes! pudding!!) and everything else they sell at Tescos (which is basically everything. fancy petrol for dinner?).

My problems are of the international kind. If I had them in Malaysia, I’d have them here. I blame in on globalization or some other things the lecturer was saying that I wasn’t paying attention to. Uh uh, and McDonalds?

Wow, they have a t-shirt for every feeling I go through.

THE END

p.s. I remember the lecturer saying something about Pizza hut too.

Kiasu people never leave empty handed. Kiasu and cheap people never spend to never leave empty handed.

I being under both categories, am proud to say to my fellow kiasu cheapos that I’ll be coming home heavier. In the head.

British people have tonnes of words and expressions that would make you go “Huh?” and wonder what they’re on about. I’ve figured out a few of them (I think) and have “Huh”ed less in the past few days.

*drum roll* List! ->

• Manky - Yucky (smelling?) Eg. “The trash smells really manky.”
• Skanky - Yucky (looking?) Eg. “The trash looks really skanky” (LOL, I’m so uncreative)
• Sick - Vomit/Puke Eg. “I had to measure sick” (Jade and her friend Sophie are doing nursing, so yea..)
• How are you doing? - I don’t really care, but I’m asking anyway Eg. I was about to actually tell them but they looked away before I even started
• Yea - Yea (but with a British accent) Eg. “Yea. Yea. Yea.”
• Pissed - Drunk Eg. “I spent 60 quid on drinks and am totally pissed right now.”
• Proper/Well - Very Eg. “They get pissed well bad”
• Knackered - Busy/tired? - Eg. I’m completely knackered now that everyone’s back at school.”
• Dodgy - Precarious, dangerous, shady, unreliable Eg. “Shaun is a dodgy character.”

THE END - More to come when I can remember

p.s. I asked about manky and skanky, they’re actually interchangeable. Unless you’re talking about someone’s dressing, then that’s skanky. Lol..
p.s.p.s. I’ve learnt some skanky norwegian works too. Lol!

I write crap but crap may not be a bad thing. People do enjoy watching crap shows and listening to crap songs right? READING some crap shouldn’t hurt… it may even be relaxing. For the brain. Or something.

Don’t be afraid to click, it won’t mess up your keyboard/hand/computer screen ->

Oh and while you’re enjoying yourself, would you mind voting? PLEASEEE? I’ll buy you a Nescafe (that won’t kill you like in the story.. I think)?

THE END

p.s. Oh yea.. YAY! My entry went through cause there weren’t many entries!
