6th day in England

Attending Grace's wedding in Spalding, Lincolnshire was an experience. Me & Sanjiv traveled from King's Cross to Spalding on Friday night and put up at a guesthouse in Sutterton for the next 2 nights. What I learnt from the guys is that Sutterton is the biggest cabbage farming in the UK. Great. Yes I saw big cabbage patches when I walk from the guesthouse to the community hall. I forgot to bring my camera with me so Vivien (Grace's sister) and Sanjiv took all the pictures and we surely had fun - especially bunking together all in a room.

Sunday's train back to London seemed like eternity - partly cause I was feeling unwell too. It was also the Notting Hill carnival weekend and the city was buzzing louder than usual. Nope, I did not go for the carnival. Partly because I was still tired from the trip and had a headache, not to mention that I had to actively look for a place to move to.
*
Yesterday (Monday - the real carnival day), I went room shopping. I don't think I have seen any house dodgier than what I saw yesterday. I must be looking at the wrong side of town. I shouldn't have called the ads in Classifieds. I should have stuck to Gumtree and the ones with pictures. Those with no pictures - forget them. Too many houses to see, too little time and too many dodgy houses is bad for the soul. But if I ever want to make horror films I sure know of the houses I can rent to do so already.
*
Tomorrow I have an appointment at a job agency and if things work out tonight - I'd be moving to Peckham for the next 3 weeks. Nice house, cosy area, very close to Tesco.
*
Also, going to Cardiff for the rest of the week. I need to sleep and rest.

Goodbye Malaysia - again.

I'm leaving this afternoon. Will bunk a night in Sri Lanka (Negombo to be exact) and will arrive in Heathrow ETA 1305. Will then put up at Sanjiv's cousin's place in Waterloo before we leave for Lincolnshire the next day to help with Grace's wedding. I'm excited. My first gay wedding that I'll be attending.

I know I'll miss home. After all Macau made me miss home more than ever. One week away made me appreciate home better. Flying over KL skyline last weekend at night made me ask myself why am I leaving this beautiful place. Well, nevermind.
*
I am getting more and more upset each day thinking about leaving my parents behind. Sometimes I wonder what kind of daughter am I to leave just as I please. Not to mention that I've been away so often since I finished with my job 3 weeks ago. Bad decisions were made, I should not have done the 7 days in Macau stint, I should have stayed home to be with my parents.
*
Anyhow, the aim now is to save up by Feb next year to buy my parents way to London next Spring. It's good to set a goal. At least for me it is.. At least I know where I'm heading... Which is important to me.
