My Journey in UK – Part 3

My weekend journey continued to Edinburgh, The Capital of Scotland. I went together with my manager from Indonesia and the trip from Glasgow-Edinburgh took 1 hour by bus. In my opinion Edinburgh has better whether compare with Glasgow, there was not too cold and not rain :).

There were list of nice places at Edinburgh :
1. Edinburgh Castle , the best Castle in Scotland and absolutely amazing
2. The Scott Monument, I've already got a certificate after climbed 287 steps to the top of Scot Monument
3. Some of museums (not yet for all)
4. Edinburgh zoo (not yet also)

On Sunday, I also took a tour around Glasgow. There were many nice places at Glasgow especially for museum, science and entertainment

My Journey in UK – Part 2

The second week I went to London, the biggest and the busiest city in UK, by bus. There was almost 8 hours long travel and finally I stayed at Wisma Merdeka (owned by Indonesian just for Indonesian) for 17.5 pounds / night (that was very cheap for bed and breakfast, might be the cheapest one in London). I had 2 days for traveling around London and I was really enjoyed because there were good and easy transportation like London Underground which covered almost all areas in London.

There were the places that I've already visited :
1. Madame Tussauds
2. Buckingham Palace
3. Big Ben
4. London Eye (The longest admission queue that I've ever seen)
5. Wembley Stadium (not came inside because it's being renovation)
6. London Bridge
7. London Tower (not came inside and I'll try for second chance)
8. Sailing on Thames River
9. Greenwich ( still not found where zero degree is, and still believe will find for second chance)
10. Chelsea's Stadium (not came inside because the time already 5pm)

There are the places that I must get in second chance :
1. Go inside London Tower
2. Find Greenwich zero degree location
3. Chelsea's stadium tour
4. Arsenal's stadium tour
5. Watch premiership football
6. Westminster abbey

My Journey in UK – Part 1

This was my first journey at Glasgow, Scotland. On weekend, I went to Glasgow city center just to look the busiest city in Scotland. Most Scottish hang out for refreshing after worked in weekday. Almost hundred people walked, spoke each other , and just sit down for a coffee or a cake. I also watched movies at Cineworld (The highest cinema building in the world). I remembered those movies were Saw III and The Prestige. In my opinion Saw III was very disappointed because it was less spectator. But for The Prestige, I really recommended for you all.

First Work Day at Glasgow

Today my first day working at Head Office of my company. After come to office then I introduce myself to other members. After I have announcement that I join to development team , I am very happy. Then my leader give me an architecture and some point to get my new work. Fortunatelly, he's very nice person and have good communication to me.

Lunch session is free for me and again the portion is unbelievable (very big portion). Actually I just take main course, how do you think if I am also take appertizer and desert :).

The work time is exactly 8 hours working day. I leave office at 5 o'clock and arrive at home at 5.15. I go out for a while to buy some stuffs beacuse I already get some money from finance's people. It's time for shooping some stuffs and I spend my money more than 30 pounds. It's just for buying toothpaste, shampoo, soap etc. I am not forget to buy food for dinner and I choose to buy at Indian's restorant. 16 pounds for lamb ala indian, it's very good taste compare with Scotland's food (without any taste). Then doing some talk with my flat mate around 1 hour and finnaly before I sleep I write down my own blog and watch my favourite anime "Naruto". Because I'm missed almost 20 episodes from 190 until 209.

I hope the next day will be nicer and be better for me. And I have a nice plan for 2 weeks later, that goes to London :)).


Long and Tireness Trip

Two days ago at saturday I have begun long trip from Jakarta to Glasgow. My plane departed at 22.00 in Indonesia's Time. There are severals transit place for my plane (Emirates), Jakarta - Kuala Lumpur - Dubai - Glasgow. Almost 20 hours I was in the plane. It's very tireness for me, but when I have arrived at Glasgow my spirit has appeared again.

After accompanied by my friend to the my flat, then we go out all of a day. I have to go to some place to lunch and shooping. FYI, I bought KFC for 3.99 pounds to get 5 chicks and 1 softdrink. Really expensive and too big portion for Indonesian people. But I remembered that was one of the smallest package which is sold in here. I just think the portion of Scotland :p

We back to home using bus, I saw there was really tidy and easy transportation. All of bus have fixed schedule time and we can stop at every place with "Bus Stop" symbol. I paid 2.5 pounds to go my flat at Brigde Of Weir. I felt the weather was very cold for me, It's 10 celcius :(.

After arrived at flat home, the I ordered some foods for dinner. I ordered from Chinesse food restorant, because I must be carefully to buy foods in here, too may ham seller. For all my order I paid almost 12 pounds, finally I slept without comfortable :(. That's my first day in Glasgow.

Art of Life

I've been roaming to find myself
How long have I been feeling endless hurt
In the pain I'm waiting for you
Life is lost, Flowers fall
If it's all dreams, now wake me up
If it's all real, just kill me

I tried to drown my past in grey
I never wanna feel more pain
Ran away from you without saying any words
What I don't wanna lose is love
All existences I see before I must be wiped out
Dream, Reality, Memories, and Yourself

My lust is so blind, destroys my mind
Nobody can stop my turning to madness
No matter how you try to hold me in your heart, why do you wanna raise these walls
I don't know the meaning of hatred
My brain gets blown away hearing words of lies
I only want to hold your love

Try to break all truth now
But I can't heal this broken heart in pain
Cannot start to live, Cannot end my life
Keep on crying
And what? For love?
What am I supposed to do?

Dreams can make me mad
I can't leave my dream
I can't stop myself
Don't know what I am
What lies are truth?
What truths are lies?

I believe in the madness called "Now"
Time goes flowing, breaking my heart
Wanna live
Can't let my heart kill myself
Still I haven't found what I'm looking for
Art of life
I try to stop myself
But my heart goes to destroy the truth
Tell me why
I want the meaning of my life
Do I try to live? Do I try to love?

Art of life
An Eternal Bleeding heart
You never wanna breathe your last
Wanna live
Can't let my heart kill myself
Still I'm feeling for
A Rose is breathing love
in my life
