What is it like in the UK, off the book (Part2)

I know if I were to write an essay about this topic, none of you would be interested to read. But bullet points, I could see a glimpse of luck. So, these are things that life in UK taught me, off the book.

1. I learn to earn from doing what I love to do – web design and development.
2. I came to earn a degree in engineering, but other interest might develop slowly and it may get prominent (design and business development). In which, now I am hoping to start my career by joining Petronas.
3. I am more concern about my food. Thanks to Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver!
4. I appreciate how the British people ‘worship’ the sun and ‘racist’ about the rain.
5. I learn that customer service is No.1 – “customer is always often right”
6. I learn to love tea with milk, but with less sugar. It is good with rich tea biscuits.
7. I learn to eat cold sandwich and cold food.
8. I learn to network with people from informal meetings (Twitter meet ups etc)
9. It took me 2 years to understand their jokes and laugh together with them.
10. English, Welsh, Scottish, Irish – you know they will talk behind about others.
11. British people are quite open about sex-related when you’re among the same gender.
12. I drink water a lot, but these people drink beer a lot more than me.
13. What ever you eat here – salt and pepper is like a must have!
14. Life here transformed me to be more a ketchup of person rather than hot chili sauce.
15. English breakfast is for two (for God’s sake)! Two eggs, two hash browns, two (vege) sausages, toasted bread, tomatoes, bakes beans and bacon (I get extra hash browns)!
16. Everyday is a shopping day. Why? Because you will find people will carry shopping bags every single day you walk across the city centre, even there is no sale. (which brings me to next point)
17. Maybe, they like to shop using Credit Card, which I have. Lol!
18. Anyway, with regards to music. They support local artist. Example? Heard of Coldplay.
19. Milk – I heard a lot of stories about it. Mixed with water, excess milked poured into the river to maintain the milk price, etc. And UHT milk is on the shelf and people do not fancy it at all.
20. Regardless of that, still lamb is the favourite of the nation besides pork.
