Canterbury, Kent


Sorry I haven't updated and replied to comments in a while, been sort of busy.
I was away in Kent, visiting a friend, and I also went to Nottingham.



Hmm, sometimes I want to shed this image of myself as the "Clown". Personally, I'm a little bored, sick & tired of this image. I don't want to be the guy who's cracking jokes all the time. As dhany would say... i'm feelin a little jaded/bitter?. I just feel like it's time for a change, but.. if i stop being the relaxed, funny-guy, what do I change into? So far, it seems that I'm not good at much else, other than making a fool of myself and making other people laugh.. and even that doesn't work all the time. I'm not funny anymore. :(

People used to laugh either at or with me. Now they just tell me I'm full of shit.



Anyway,.. Kent.
Trip was quite.. uneventful, but I wasn't expecting an uber-exciting trip. After all, I don't travel to feel excited, but to see new things and if possible, meet new people and old friends, and I certainly did all that, so I was happy. I met up with Shereen and stayed at her place for two nights (she made jelly! for me!), and also met a friend of hers; Adam, who will be coming to Malaysia for the first time this summer.
















Shereen is lookin down at smth, not quite sure what it was she was lookin at.. but whatever. We were supposed to go into town that day, but it got all rainy outside, so decided to stay in. Needless to say, both of us weren't happy. She needed to go shopping, I wanted to see other things in Canterbury, other than the coach station and Pizza Hut.


Hmm, there was some compensation with the rain though, did see a very clear rainbow outside. Coz of the lack of money on my part, and crap weather in general, we did not go out at night, so instead we stayed in and just stuck to watching movies and we were also involved in some *cough* illegal *cough* activities. (I meant the coughing in a very literal sense).
I went all the way down to Kent, from Liverpool, and was made to sleep on the floor. :( but I guess I can't complain, I may have done the same lol.






The rainbow..














And here, we have me in my customary "make myself look silly"-pose. I obviously wasn't posing, she decided to randomly take a photo of me.









Me, being the perenially poor guy, needed some money to sustain my travelling and eating costs, so suggested we go to the casino... but there was none in Canterbury! but there was one in the nearby seafront town of Margate, so off we (Shereen, Adam, Me) went, in search of money. Halfway there, I decided to check if they brought any ID.

"So.. you guys got ID right?"
"Do they allow you in with University ID"
"No"
"..."
".... No driving license?"
"No"

We decided, since we already had begun our little adventure, just to go there and try our luck, but as expected, they did not want to let Adam and Shereen in. I could not possibly go in there by myself and leave the other two. So we went to eat, at a Wetherspoons, and then we went to the beach.


While we were approaching the beach, we noticed this sign from far away. All three of us found it strange, at least Adam and I did, thinking that dolphins did not like the cold waters of Britain. Shereen was more focused on the fact that she'd never seen dolphins in the wild before.







And then the anti-climax... we walked closer and found this sign.
The animal signs were there so lost children could be found.. Needless to say, all three of us were disappointed.






Don't have photos of the Cathedral in Canterbury and other places we visited and photos of ppl together yet, but will post em up on the next post, and also will write about the trip to Nottingham.
