Regular.
The cloudiness is just the yeast in suspension (well it could also be protiens but as its a kits I'll stick to the yeast). You are looking for bottle conditioning so your beer will go through a second fermentation in the bottle. Once the yeast has done its thing it should clean up after itself and settle out.
Best bet is to leave in a warm place for a fortnight and then move somewhere colder.
