one year
Here I am, Boots Summer Placement again. It started yesterday and it reminds me a lot about my last placement in Manchester. 3 more days, and it will be the 1st anniversary of being in the UK. I could still remember clearly about the days when I just started my life in the UK. I shall say, it was miserable in the beginning. Don’t really know how I did manage to get through, but yes…it was almost a year ago. It’s 7.45 am right now, gotta prepare to work. Gambate!

Cornwall II
I shall continue on my third day in Cornwall. I’m glad that the weather was good as we were planning to go to some beach area. We drove for about one and a half hours from Newquay to Lands End, which is the most westernly tip of the southern mainland of Great Britain. The Atlantic Ocean is just in front of us, and this is the first time I meet the Atlantic Ocean. Well, it was very windy and cold over here and it was a brave decision to remove our jacket to take a picture without the jacket! :p
Then, we used ‘B’ route to go to St Ives from Lands End. So, after this trip, I learned about how they number the roads in UK. Motorway (M) is the major highway. they usually number it as M1, M2, M3 etc...Before this, I tot M was something related to Manchester. haha. Then, they have ‘A’ road, ‘B’ road and minor roads. The ‘B’ road we took was so narrow and some parts could only allowed one car to pass through. By the way, the scenery along the way was really nice. The picture above, some very old buildings that we saw on our way to St Ives.
Beach in St Ives!!! Everyone on the beach is enjoying the sun!
We tot of buying some sandwiches and picnic on the beach, mana tau......A seagull attacked Li Ling’s sandwich after 1 bite! Aiyo...why the seagull so ganas 1?? The people on the beach were looking at us after we shouted on the top of our voice. Then, we terpaksa move to another place and hide our sandwich from the seagulls. Stupid seagulls ruined our planning of having nice lunch on the beach. They are now ranked as our top enemy!!!
Tingtagel Castle, our last place-to-visit before we left Cornwall. Tingtagel Castle is the legendary birthplace of King Arthur and home of Merlin the magician. Visitors need to pay £4.20 as entrance fees. We were too lazy to climb up the hill and too stingy to pay for the entrance fees. So, we took pictures from far. Haha...the picture could still see the castle clearly rite?
Let’s have some Cornish ice-cream before we left! Nice? Hmm...not very special, but it’s a good try for real Cornish ice-cream in Cornwall where Cornish ice cream originated from.

It was warmer than the morning when we were at Lands End. But yet, the sea is damn cold. Well, we did not surf or swim in the sea, but busy snapping pictures. We actually snapped some funny pictures, but those pics are currently not with me. I think the ang moh sure feel very strange about all those funny poses we did. haha..
Next, St Michael’s Mount which is located in Marazion. It is owned by St Aubyn family and the island has a castle, a church, an ancient harbour, shops and restaurants.
As the picture suggested, we were at the Lizard Point. This is the southernmost tip of Great Britain. Again, what we did over here was just busy snapping pictures. :P

Cornwall I
I have so much to blog about, but yet…so lazy to blog. I just realized that I actually blog more during exam period than post exam period when I’m very free. Well…since I just came back from Cornwall, I shall blog about it and not delaying any more.
The story shall start from planning to go to Scotland after exam. Yes, it’s ideal to go to Scotland in summer cuz it’s very very cold in winter. But, our ideal plan failed becuz we were not able to rent a car on the date we wanted. So, we make up our mind and plan to go to Cornwall instead. Visiting Cornwall requires fewer days than Scotland, and we are able to rent a car on another day. For your information, Cornwall is the most south westernly county of England. Cornwall is noted for its beautiful scenery of wild moorland landscapes and its extensive and varied coastline. However, Cornwall is also one of the poorest areas of United Kingdom with the lowest per capita contribution to the national economy.

It takes about 5 hours to drive from Nottingham to the backpackers we booked at Newquay, Cornwall. Well, I keep pronouncing Newquay as ‘New-kuey’, but instead, it should be pronounced as…erm…I dunno how to write out…’New-kise’? ‘New-kice’? ok…call me and I’ll pronounce the correct one for you. Special thanks to Google map for giving us directions from Nottingham to Newquay. The website is so smart that it even knows how to direct us to avoid the toll! Hahaha…Really can’t imagine how we could get there without our piece of Google Map! Picture on the right, sunset at Newquay, somewhere near the hostel we stayed.
We had the worst ever dinner at Newquay on the day we reached Cornwall. I swear I’ll never eat fish and chips again in UK. This is so oily and unhealthy. It’s like putting 10 tons of oil into my mouth…omg…really can’t stand for it!
We went to Truro on the second day. Truro is the administrative centre and only city of Cornwall. Truro is also the most southerly city of Great Britain. Well, to me, Truro looks like a small town rather than a city. We had some nice time visiting the cathedral (which we felt it’s very commercialized) and shopping in the city.

Next, visiting the Eden Project near St Austell. Gosh…we drive like about 1-1.5 hours from Truro to St Austell. Distance between one places to another is quite far away, luckily we came to Cornwall by driving! We spent about 7 pounds per person for the entrance fees of the Eden Project. Picture on the right is the world’s largest greenhouse at the Eden Project. The complex comprises a number of domes that house plant species from around the world, with each emulating a natural biome. The domes are made out of hundreds of hexagons plus a few pentagons that interconnect the whole construction together; each of these is a transparent cushion made of tough plastic. The first dome emulates a tropical environment, the second a warm temperate, Mediterranean environment. Ok…some of the information is copied from Wikipedia, cuz I can’t remember so much. :p
okla...shall stop here and continue another time. Promised, i'll complete this!!
