Went to explore tonbridge town today. Not that there’s much to explore actually. It’s Sunday so a lot of shops are closed. No wonder EVERYONE’s at the sports field and park exercising.. playing football (they dun call it soccer here) or rugby.. I was too busy staring at them play till I stepped into a pothole on the kns footpath and sprained my left ankle. Oh yay. Hurts like hell. Lucky I’m a seasoned – sprainer. (if there’s such a thing) so it wasn’t too bad. Can still walk without looking like a duck.
Decided to go see Tonbridge castle today. And guess wat? It happens to be heritage day as well! Woohoo.. they only have ONE heritage day the entire year round, and it so happened to fall on the day where I decided to visit! Wheee.. this means that there’s no admission fee payable today. Haha. Lalala.. oh well. Learnt abit about castles, moat, how others attack from outside and their defence strategy. I must admit I’m not much of a museum or history-fanatic. But I guess when u’re alone and really bored, castles suddenly seem extremely interesting.. even though most of it was destroyed and wateva that’s left is the stale river (moat) surrounding it, and the gatehouse. Anyway, I must admit that the Tonbridge castle’s really quite pretty..

look!! i was looking for the sink.. and here it is!! they have water, soap and air.. haha
Went supermarket shopping at Sainsbury after that. Heh. Easily my favourite part of ANY day.. you know it feels really weird.. can’t help thinking that the people here must be really rich and have a lot of spare cash.. I mean.. say they earn like 3000pounds per mth.. and their food is like soooooo cheap to them. Super huge packs of potato chips, cookies, 1litre milk, pasta and bread all going for like less than 1 pound each! And their ice cream and chocolates!! Woohoo.. it’s any little kids’ heaven (not to mention mine as well). So with 20pounds.. you can easily fill up your entire trolley!! And their clothes, books, bathing stuff.. mostly less than 5 pounds. So where do they spend the rest of their money rite.. yeh. So I came to the conclusion that they should be relatively cashful.. hmmm.. This is my third day ALONE, with absolutely nobody to talk to, nobody to irritate, and no internet!! But I lived through it. Haha. Can’t help feeling super pleased with myself. I feel so accomplished you know. Of coz I shouldn’t be too pleased. One should never ever be too accustomed to a hermit’s life.
Oh well, my 1st day of work tmr (theoretically speaking). And I’m quite convinced that they wouldn’t know what to do with me. Heh. Hoping that I’ll have some stuff to get busy with and not have to pretend to be busy. That really sucks you know. Pretending to be fussing over nothing. Can’t wait for next Saturday to move in to my new house! There’ll be internet access and REAL people to talk to! Right.. 5 days more. I’m so going to survive.
~gone in a moment..
