STUDY IN UK ---------D.DAYS

Great Britain---- a country far far away in the west, which was called as "country of sun set", I landed on it finally. The time is 1630, date 20th September 1998, Heathrow Airport. Other friends who came together with me, Boon Shann, Heng Kang, Kai Hui, Tiam Teng, and Hadi qued far behind me. The que was very long, the immigrations were slow. I saw the big size Boon Shann kept turning his head left and right, trying to see whether there was any 'Guai Mui' around. The temperature was 20C, I saw some fellows wearing very thick and large jackets sweating, I could guess that they didn't listen to the temperature reported on the plane.

I pulled my trolley out of the red zone after declared my notebook (well, actually no need to declare since no body will check my luggage, I only knew that after few days when people told me they didn't declare their stuff.) I was wondering where the guys sent by the University to pick us would be. So I looked around and finally saw a card board written very large UH!!! I knew I was safe then, a lady called Ah Lee then ticked my name in the name list and asked us to wait for the rest.

After all guys come out from the airport, it was already 1900. Another hour was taken to reach the university, it was dark, I couldn't see the scene outside, thus I took a nap on the bus.

On the way to my room, I found that one of the 'wheels' of luggage was gone. Very bad, I had to carry it and pulled other 4 luggages slowly to my flat. It was heavy, man, over stuff!!! Luckily a student guide (aunty Claire) help me to carry the 'cacat' luggage because it was the only luggage that she manage to carry for me, so I still needed to pull another 55kg by myself. I almost died when reached my flat.
