I Found The Chinese Supermarket!

i've been searching for them since i arrived
(which is exactly one week today)
and last night i finally GoogleMapped them.
there are two, Asia Supermarket and Cam Seng
but only the former showed up on GoogleMap
so i wrote down instructions and everything carefully
but once i walked today i lost all my bearings
and the directions didn't make any sense at all.

so i gave up and went to good old Tesco
(of which i am a member now!)
to get dishcloths and scourging pads.
one thing about the Brits,
everything is so convenient for them.
out of all the refrigerated shelves there,
only one was selling raw stuff.
there were like 5-6 and stocked with
precooked food that only required heating
= good news for me!

but they're kinda expensive so i'm only
eating one hot meal a week to make sure
i survive and not die, ODing from bread.
so my new meal plan is :

Breakfast- Cereal+ Yoghurt/Cranberry Juice
Lunch- HamandCheese Sandwich + an Orange
Dinner- PeanutButterandJam Sandwich + Yoghurt
and weekends i will have one microwaved item!

i told my parents to ship instant noodles here
so i can have hot meals twice a week.

anyway back to the supermarket story.
walking back with the super heavy plastic bags,
(which really cut and eat into your arms
during that 30 minute walk back to the apt.)
i saw this HUGE chinese words
'Jing Sen' and i thought JingSen= CamSeng
and i was right!

the supermarket was HUGE from the outside
and kinda looked like some car factory.
i walked rounds trying to get into the entrance
and *finally* got it (:

THEY SELL MAGGI MEE!
one noodle packet for 25p though,
so might as well ship from Malaysia.
too bad there aren't any Msians here so far
if not i can start a MaggiMee black market or sth.

anyway the market really smelled
so i left quickly but without first seeing some
very questionable items.
since when Chinese people eat jars of pickles?!
and i doubt if people in China buy giant bags
of crinklecut fries or onion rings.

it's almost 4 o'clock and i've finished The Life Of Pi.
i have nothing to do and im v hungry.
thank God school is starting on Monday,
even though it's just the introductory week.

oh yeah, i'm going to church tomorrow!
there's like 16 here and like 5 diff types
of presbyterian churches and got brethren church
but i think it's beyond walking distance.
plus got a ChineseChurch which conducts English services
but i dont really want to go to a chinese church.
so i'm gonna church hop forawhile
and go to the one nearest to where i stay first.

i'm a bit nervous though since people
in western countries generally go to church
wearing dresses and hats so i think i'll
skulk around in front and pretend to read something
to see whether i'm dressed appropriately anot.
wish me luck!!

*urgh my posts are getting so long.
i need to get a friend to talk to.
