Well..well, its been more than a week since my last posting. Hiew! you got me. I have been quite lazy this week to post anything since I'm got addicted with neverwinter nights 2 computer game...haha. At least I have something to say today. Nearly a month ago (9th June), I went to a place near the east coast of England. A place called Grimsby. It is a small town, em...mebbe 1/2 of Belfast I think. I went there to visit a friend of mine (Sing Ling) who is doing her pre-registration year in pharmacy.
Well, of course I will not go there alone. I went with Kelly and Huai. I can said it was a bad week for me except the time in Grimsby. Why? loads of things around me seems problems. On that week, the machines in the lab are broken and need repairs. So, I have to postphone my experiments to next week. I decided to do other experiment but the worst thing is during my experiment, the wet bench started to leak (water coming out from the bench). Luckily I did not pour any sulphuric acid during my experiment if not the lower compartment of the bench will have a hole. You know what, the concentration of sulphuric acid I used is 98%, nearly pure acid. So, I have to stop my work and wait until the bench is repaired...haiz.
The following day, I went to the airport with Kelly and Huai on the morning. We have bought the flight ticket to Manchester a month ago. We expected to board the plane at 1105am so we reached the airport at around 930am but the flight is delayed..gosh...we have to wait for nearly 4 hours (around 1330) in the airport before we get into the plane. The worst thing is we have booked the train ticket from Manchester to Grimsby and we already paid for it. Since the flight is delayed, we have to buy another ticket to Grimsby. It cost us £25.40..ouch..that's expensive. Anyway, we finally arrived at Grimsby around 6 (if I'm right). We spend 2 1/2 hours in the train.
Sing Ling and her housemate Naomi (a pastor) came to the train station and picked us to her house. That night Sing Ling cooked for us and we have a good dinner together. Since we are too tired, we sleep early that night. On the next morning, we went to a church with Naomi (on Sunday)since she is a pastor and Kelly and Sing Ling are Christians. So me and Huai follow them and go to church as well. Their worshipping style is quite the same with what I have before when I still joined Boys' Brigade. After finished with the Sunday worship all of us went back to the house and have a nice lunch, cooked by Naomi. I missed her chapati and lamb curry....yummy. Then me, Huai, Sing Ling and Kelly took a bus to Cleethorpes (seaside). Well, we did not take much pictures during this travel except at Cleethorpes.
That's Huai, Kelly and me!
Well, for a brief introduction. Huai is my good friend in Belfast and he is studying pharmacy. Kelly is the big sis..haha...just jokking. Guess what is her occupation? Accountant? Secretary? dun play play oh...she's a junior doctor...haha. Both Kelly and Sing Ling are my housemate for a month before Sing Ling move to Grimsby to do her pharmacy and Kelly move to the hospital accommodation.
That's Sing Ling and Kelly!
Those are the pictures we took at the Cleethorpes seaside. Well, quite a lot of ppl here keep looking at us, I guess there are too few chinese here. There are quite a lot of shops here and most of them sell fish n chips. I can said the cod and haddock here is quite nice and fresh compare to Belfast one which are fresh from FRIDGE..haha.
After we went back to Grimsby we spend our night playing scrabble with Naomi since she like to play scrabble. Then we went to sleep as usual. We leave Grimsby at the morning by train and then by plane of course. We stop by Manchester to have a look around but nothing much to see. I think the most famous place is Old Trafford which is at the outskirt of the city centre but we didn't go there because quite far and we still have a train to catch. Nothing much to say about Manchester, is not as good as I thought..I mean the environments. Then we came back to belfast around 9pm because our flight is delayed again...huh...dunno what to say..........glad we did not need to stay overnight at Manchester.
That's all I can say for this trip. It is a nice trip one except for the stupid delay which caused us time and money. Thanks for viewing and stay tuned until next time.....hehe..
Cheers!
