it's been 6 months since my last a&w curly fries | 11:24
I've been in London for 6 months now. 6 solid months. At this point, surprisingly, I still find it extremely tough when people ask me, "Do you enjoy living in London?". Truth is, I really don't know. Don't get me wrong, I love London, it's a beautiful place with much to explore but home is still home and it's irreplaceable. I'm out of my comfort zone and I'm still in the middle of establishing my own life here (career + friends). It hasn't been a bed of roses that's for sure.
My family, my friends and my lil doggies are what makes Malaysia feels home and I miss them all so much. Thankfully there's Steve, who constantly puts up with my endless sulking and whining; who keeps me sane and drives me insane at the very same time. Love, that's what they call it. I told Steve last night, "Ask me the very same question in 6 months time." He assured me that it'll be a much positive answer. I hope so, only time will tell. On a brighter note, here's some of what makes me ♥ London. 1. Krispy Kreme ... more more more! 2. The weather - the rain really isn't as often or as bad as you think. For once, my makeup does not melt when I'm out walking and walking for hours. 3. The markets - not your pasar malam or pasar pagi equivalent. The English markets are absolutely brilliant - the food, the clothes, the art & crafts, the second-hand 'junk to most, treasure to the very few'. 4. Cider...beer has never worked for me hence the discovery of cider has opened up a whole new world of English pubs and bars to me. 5. Dimsum - I'm not kidding. HongKong Dimsum in London is the authentic stuff. I hate to say this but it tops what I've had so far back home.
A typical Malaysian will never stray away from talking about food i.e yours truly. True said.
This was how I felt when I first arrived in London. "Show me the rain!!"
This was how I felt when I gobbled up one whole box of 6 pieces Krispy Kreme (Notice Steve's face is filled with digust)
Cheers to the dude in my life who's always there to tolerate my crap with no questions asked.
A Malaysian working holiday maker who promises not to speak with a Brit accent after just 16 months (and counting!) living in London. Out of her comfort zone and in with new surroundings from the land of Goodness Gracious Me.
