Heading South

This time, Eeffie, shea yeong and I will be traveling south. It's one of the biggest migration from the friends of KK towards Cardiff. To attend Yunsin's graduation, I am sure this is the time when most of our friends from KK will be in Cardiff. And somehow, this migration only last for 2 days, which means i have too little time, to catch up with too many friends It's just different to be with a big group of Malaysian in Overseas. I feel in touch and belong to the group of people who share the same background with me. Looking forward to it. Anyway, i got to go , gonna catch a train at 11am..

Outside world.

I spend about £200 on a 2 days shopping & entertaining myself. I used up all the money i earned last week. And this 'Money earning and Spending' cycle motivated me to earn more this coming holiday. It's just more satisfying... ********************************************************************************* I am currently exploring the outside world, with a good lecturer, Mr Ken. He taught me how to approach people, how to be shamelessly attractive, and to be pro-active instead of reactive. He learn those stuff, by living his true self, exposing his own ideas to people around him. He knows how to add value to others and I learned a lot from him. Step by step, i started to understand how the urban jungle works. And thanks to him, during my darkest moment, he is always by my side, supporting me and listened to me. Probably this sounds a bit gay. But he is quite a pleasant guy to be with. ********************************************************************************* Thanks for being so supportive.

Contract (updated version)

This story is based on my experience with an anti-social behavior housemate. I will name him SP. Living with him, is a disaster. ************************************************************************************* At the beginning of my stay I was forced to rent 2 rooms for the entire year, as i was given 2 options, 1 is to rent the 2 rooms or 2 is i will have to take the whole house(which is impossible). Since i knew this only after i arrive Nottingham last September, so it is too late for me to make any changes . And with that 1 extra room, my bills were raised ridiculously. By the way, that extra room i rented was only meant for his guest. I can't bring any guest back home. It is indirectly stated to me. As he sent me a message saying that 'I WILL KICK THEM OUT'. ************************************************************************************* By the end of my stay I was forced to moved out on the 30th of June 2009, as he knew my parents would come and stay with me for my graduation. So to prevent all this hassle, he asked me to leave by 30th of June. Because of his anti social behavior, i spend half of my semester in Chai Ann's couch. At least, i could sleep more comfortable on the couch than my king size bed. ************************************************************************************* All this hassle is because i did not sign a tenancy contract with him 1st place. So i was manipulated by his rules, for the entire year. Just to add, He asked me to wash his shit around the toilet bowl the 1st day i arrived. WTF Anyway, i hope everything will be fine for him, may god bless him more.

a weekend in Paris,

It all started last day of our trip, In the magical love city. When we were climbing the stairs to the second floor of Eiffel tower. where i offered myself to pull her up Eiffel tower. But right after we reach the top, I didn't let go my hand. I keep on holding her small hand.

It was quite a moment for me as i am enjoying the breathtaking view of Paris and to explore this indescribable relationship on top of the Eiffel tower. Adrenaline was all over my body.

Post Exam.

Just woke up from a fulfilling sleep, although is after exam, there is still something in me. it seems that I've not completed my exam. probably it's because i wish to sit for more exam. As i am disappointed with my previous paper. So i wish to sit for more exams to lower down the weightage mark of the papers.. Damn disappointed.

So i will be away for 10 days, a short break after the exam is good, but a trip with wonderful buddies is just priceless. I would say to experience new things together, it's a good way to forge a long lasting friendship.

This picture is about 1++ years, but still, i miss 'us' being together.

Ok, back to picture i took this week,

This is Alex from hong kong. He is intelligent, outgoing and smart. He can skipped all the classes, and still manage to get a 1st class in his double degree course. He is now travelling all over europe. From him I learnt alot of hong kong cultures, they way they converse is much more different than Malaysian. I won't say it's better or worst, it's just different. But i think the more i understand the culture of a country, the more i like it there. He will be visiting Malaysia this coming august! Hope he will have fun!

xD

I will keep in touch with you guys in 10 days..

My brother's birthday is coming soon.

Happy birthday brother!

Exam Week

It's my exam week, a week where i buldged my stomach. Crarving for snacks all the time.

Anyway, here are some of pictures for the week.

Overflowing text, My room is in a big mess. with notes scattered around

War buddies. It's about 20 minutes before exam.

We took a taxi to school and Chai Ann found out that she left her precious notes and calculator at home! It was a chaotic state for her that time. Although it's funny to look back at the picture of this but hopefully all these situation will not affect our results. (finger crossed)

I love heinz.

I've been evil lately.

A meal @ sillitoe court.

A video of our study break. Ken is cooking while we are taking video of this.

hooting with buddies, wivinia (the girl on the right) just reach Nottingham from Malaysia.

It's nice to see her here.

herbal tea from eeffie, That is really sweet. Thx

:)

Tingting(a.k.a magician & chef)

After the 3 days of intense exams. we had a farewell party for her in La Tasca. She cooked meals and meals of wonderful Chinese cuisine for us during our exam period. and also entertain us from time to time with her interesting magic talent, fashion show and some explosive behaviour :)

Sangria, Spanish wine punch. Sweet fruity smell..

Although it's abit overprice here, but still, the taste is unique!

And some badminton.

Credits to Andrew Murphy and Qian.

they became my stress reliever.

And I manage to ask 3 of my war buddies(ken, ann & tingting) to watch Angel & Demon with me. Although Ken slept through the entire movie, but i would say it's beautifully filmed. Love it

Things to do next week,

1. To resume reading 'The love of my life', which i started to read before my exam.
2. To attend Alex's Farewell
3. Book a budget air ticket to Norway with my Mom. To bring her backpacking. :)
4. Apply for a non-competitive scholarship,
5. Ready a cv for coming job recruitment.
6. And finally, I will be leaving to Czech Republic saturday to eat something different. :)

I am so excited, for the week to come.

Hallward (updated)

I am sorry, I accidentally published a draft.

This is the proper post.

This post is about the library that i am going lately.

We got 2 libraries in the main campus which is George Green library and Hallward library.. 

George green library is for engineering  while hallward is for the law. 

I would say Macbooks, Iphones, Branded School bag (they use LV bag to carry their notes and Macbook, wth!) and a cup of coffee from the cafeteria, is a trend here.

Apart from all that, I love hallward. Going to the library is never the same again. the atmosphere the library created is just incredibly amazing.  

Inside Hallward

 

They study there for hours. (on the floor)

 

Fresh Air

 

Break

 

Mentos and Boots' Candy (paracetamol)

 

It's more relaxed to study in such a good environment. 

I got a favourite place to study, where water refill is nearby, air ventilation is good, the table is big enough for all my humongous files, 

and the best bits?

Hallward library is full of  blondes, 

Talking is equivalent to breathing for them, the moment they stop talking, they stop living.

But anyway, they are architecturally pleasant and never fail to soothens my tiring eyes, every intervals.
