today is the first day i go to ef school. woke up so early in the morning, around 6 p.m. then i showered, had breakfast and headed off to school, left home at 7.30 a.m. i went to school with my housemates (basia from Poland, joyce from taiwan and hasan from turkey). and this is the route we took : streatham common station-clapham junction-waterloo station. people here are soooo busy. they all rush that make me feel i have to rush too. hahaahha.

interesting today :

i bought the oyster card. its actually a ticket for public transportation here, valid for train, bus, underground. with the card we can travel anywhere we want by any public transportation. but its only for certain zone. i bought a ticket for zone 1-2-3. because my house is in the zone 3 and the school is zone 1. you’re free to travel around the zone you’re in. there are buy 1 day ticket, 1 week ticket and 1 month ticket. i bought the 1 week one, cost for 28 pound. and the public transportation here are really amazing! hehe.there is another card actually, called traveler card. it is a bit higher in price but i still don’t know what is the different between these 2 cards. one thing for sure, the public transportation system here is really really amazing. i wish indonesia would have it someday.

boat trip passing over the thames river. got some beautiful pictures. hehehe. check them out later

not interesting today :

absolutely the terrible weather!! gosh. sun and rain comes and goes easily. crazy, really! and i really don’t like it. instead, i don’t bring many coats and sweaters. thought it was summer here. but it felt like winter in indonesia.

bought simcard for UK number. i don’t think i buy the good one cos i can’t receive message from Indonesia. huh. i’ll buy the other later.

anyway, the test result put me into the level 5 class, the upper intermediate same as my sister hehehe. i don’t know whether it’s a good job or it isn’t. i don’t really care actually, hehe. the important goal is i’m able to communicate in english fluently and make a huge improvement. i wish. hehehe.

well, at the end of this post i’m gonna share about my opinions of living here. hmm, living here may seem to be very interesting. but it’s not as easy and beautiful as we think. we need to work very hard to afford such a high cost of living. we have to pay for eveything!! even for breathing *no kidding*. and people here work very hard. they seriously cherish time is money. so far different to what i usually see in my country , hehehe. no offense. maybe i need to learn from it and make a little bit change. and i miss my hometown so much now. place where i’m not feeling like a stranger.
