Edinburgh post!
Hello all!
^Wings of Desire^ will be down for a couple of months because the blog owner has only dial up internet for the following 3 months. But since I managed to steal some unsecured wireless network, update now lar. hahaha
How are you all in Malaysia? Do you miss me? Lol ok joking. Ei Lin sorry I can’t really talk to you on Wednesday because I have to really rush to pack and go to the airport. Anyways, I’m in Edinburgh now. The weather here is not that great. Drizzles, drizzles and more drizzles almost everyday. And if you get lucky, you might have a bright sunny day! It is quite cooling though and can be pretty cold too. Since it is Summer now, the sun shines everyday for about 18 hours! It gets really really bright at 5am (just imagine 12pm sun) and for some reason, I just wake up at 6am everyday. Probably its due to the sun thing. Eh does this mean that I am photosensitive? Or my Circadian rhythm is based on the sunlight? Hahaha I dunno also
It's now approximately 8am in Edinburgh and looks misty outside. Here's a view from the dining table where I type this letter now:
View from the dining table and the living room
Sunset view from the same window
Actually it will look nicer if you are sitting in my position now. It overlooks some old building which I dunno what is that. hahaha
The landscape here is pretty different too. It has a very interesting combination of nature (hills and more hills), old historic buildings and the new ones. All of them seemed out of place, but you will be surprised how well they compliment each other. Well that will be another post about the city. Here's a sneak preview of the city:
View of Old town from the Information Centre
Somewhere in the city, dunno what it is yet. Yes I'm a lousy tourist, don't even know where am I going to.
I do not have most of the pictures at the moment but for the main purpose of this entry... which will be about my 1st packed lunch in UK, Yan Leng will have the honour of appearing in my blog. hahaha
And so... the 2 little kids (or that's how Yan Leng's uncle labelled us) packed their very own lunch out to makan on the 3rd day of their arrival. This was taken on Carlton Hill, which is a hill right in the middle of the city. Good view from here. I can see the whole Edinburgh (ok almost): historical Old Town (like its name, means old old buildings), the modern New Town, the hills and the SEA! Now where can I get that type of view in Notts? Basically if you simply walk around, you will find something historical or really beautiful views. For example, when I go for grocery shopping in the nearest Sainsbury's, I will pass by Steward-Melville College, a very very old college. My god it looks so Harry Potter-ish! Now I understand why people like to walk around here. How can I do that in Malaysia? Sure kena rob lar. hahaha
Anyways, presenting...

Lol it is just some egg sandwich. And it doesn't cost that much. Lol but our presentation is really good. Leave a comment and tell me what do you think about it.
Ok I don't know what to write already with my limited pictures. Will update soon if I can. On 2nd July I'll have to go to Newcastle for some briefing. Hopefully everything will turn out to be perfect. Tilll then, baa woof! Thank you for supporting ^Wings of Desire^!
PS: I still can't speak in a Scottish accent. Learning it. Unfortunately, not many Scottish actually live here. Dunno where they all go lar. Malaysia perhaps? lol
