It has being a month since i last update my blog, basically what i’ve done is move to a new place and started off another chapter in my life. Being the only few staying for master doesn’t feel good, initially it was good cos everyone will pass their stuff to us cos there’s no point in bringing them back but soon problem arise, people will start to dominate our house cos there are only so few people who has a place to stay among us. Well almost everyone is back now so not so much of a issue now.

Master is really so much different than degree or whatever i’ve experienced so far, ranging from teaching style to many other aspects of studies. Gotta work harder as there’s basically no spoon-feeding anymore. Now i’m sort of attending classes for 16 hours/week so i’ve being looking for part time job but no luck so far.

Remember i rant about my last exam?The results are out and although miracles don’t always happen but it did this time as what my sis commented.

Yup, somehow i got a 1st class but ya the 1st class standard here are lower (70% and above where TARC was some 90%+) and i achieved it with some border marks but hey it’s writtin 1st class =p Called my dad and he’s super duper excited, perhaps much more excited than me.

Finished my exam yesterday, wasn’t as easy as past year but still i think it’s allright. Went for a buffet with my whole course, went out to the city center for some picture snapping and went to my friend place for drink. Got pretty drunk and went home about 4am.

Woke up by the fire alarm testing about 10am, had some headache and feeling uneasy. Finally vomited out nothing and i guess it’s just the gas of beers. Move some stuff to my new place with the help of my housemates and emo-ing in my room now.

3 months ago we arrived with absolutely no idea what’s awaiting us, still remembert the first meal we cooked was so simple, some vege with oil, the seaweed soup that someone commented it look like shit in fb and some canned meat. During the 3 months, whenever i felt lazy to wake up i would just wish the 3 months will end, same goes when i’m stuck with assignment, i will just wish time will pass in a blink of an eye. Now that it has indeed past, do i want it to end?no…i dont.

I know it wasn’t all good living together but i’m sort of got used to it already. i’m a guy that like to have things planned and doesn’t like uncertainty. Today will be the last day of stay in hostel and by midnight, there will only be me in this entire flat.

life is just full of uncertainty isn’t it?i guess i  just have to get used to it.

Dream will always remain as dream?

one week after my last post, alot of thing has changed.

i was talking about 1st class in my last post but right after my 1st paper i know it will remain as just a dream. The paper wasn’t as easy as all of us anticipated and i didn’t do too well either.

Had a few weird dreams lately, am i thinking too much or what?

Having 2nd paper tomorrow and last one on thursday then on friday i’ll be saying goodbye to most of my friends. Another chapter of life is waiting for me….

No trip this weekend so i’m here sitting in my hostel watching some TVB and started doing some revision.I’ve being busy looking for a place to stay and last week managed to see a house which to be honest i quite like it as the owner is renovating it so things are kinda brand new. However there’s only 3 of us and the house has 4 rooms so it’s a no go till now. Have to move out in 4 weeks time and i don’t have a place to stay…Starting to feel bored with life here, things are fine it’s just that i have to worry with my meals every single day and etc which isn’t a problem back in malaysia is annoying me.

I want alot of things in my life, different thing that i wish for in different stages of my life and sometimes it seems that things that i wanted will come eventually but at a wrong timing. Should i be glad that i eventually get what i wanted even if it meant to be at the wrong timing?life is not perfect isn’t it?i really wish you did not come into my life at a wrong time.

I should be working on my assignment due this Thursday now but i find myself here updating my blog hehe

As far as i know things are pretty much settle, although i had a feeling it is not but sometimes there are things out of my control and i guess sometimes i just have to learn to relax a little and not worry so much. Yup in case you have not notice i’m that kinda guy who will worry things before it happens, that’s just me i guess.

Spent the 1st day of August for a trip to Cheshire Oak, you can google it if you have not heard basically it’s a shopping place with 144 designers outlet. Grab myself a CK belt, 2 French Connection/FCUK t-shirt and a pair of sport shoe. CK belt cost me £13, the t-shirt is 3 for £20 which i took 2 and my friend took 1, Reebok shoe was £40 a pair but they hv this promotion where you get the 2nd pair for £1. Initially i wanted to get a pair of  Nike or AND1 but didn’t find any that attracts me so me and my another friend took one pair each for £20.50 which is about Rm120, so blardy cheap cos i think it cost at least Rm300 in Malaysia.

As for last week, i went to Liverpool again for the friendly match. yaya i know ppl are gonna start saying Liverpool lost and all but it was a great experience. The singing part was worth the ticket alone but the fact i got to see Gerrard, Torres, Carragher, Mascherano and etc right in front of my eyes is just priceless and i’m sort of addicted to it. Not much picture taken this time due to the crowd and i really just wanna enjoy the match at that very moment. =)

Bought the scarf specially for the match, well i didn’t wanna get any jersey now cos i don’t know how to wash it and afraid im just gonna spoilt it. Wait till when its time to go home. *evil grin*

It’s week 10 now and my final is coming in 3 weeks time, assignments due date are closing up so basically i’m sort of working on assignments these few weeks. Just some rant here that i sometimes felt annoyed when my other friends start asking me question from a to z without trying themself. I just wanna say that i know sometimes thing can be hard but i do not know any better as well until i do some trial and error myself to learn more. Sometimes it is not that i don’t wanna help but asking me to help from start to end is really feeling like i’m doing all the work.

ok end of rants, i have a good news….finally i’ve receive my offer letter for master. oh well they drag it for quite awhile and now i’ve gotta start preparing for it. Filling up the insane 42 pages of visa application form, looking for house to move out…..hmmm….not that good of a news huh? >.<

Gotta continue with my assignment now, wish me luck =)

help?

Initially this post should be about my visit to Cheshier Oak, a place that filled up with 144 designers outlet in Chester. Anyway i spent my whole day there while something happens back in Malaysia.

My left eye has being blinking for a few days now and everytime it does something bad will happen, thank you sis for telling me everything cos my dad told her not to. I know his intention, he doesn’t want me to be worried but i really hate it when something happens and i don’t know about it. I might be thousand of miles away but my heart will always be with you all and as much as i wish i could go thru all these with you all as a family, i can’t because of the distance.

Previously i was wondering if i shall stay on to maybe work for 2 years after i’ve completed my master. The reason is simply because of money. I don’t wanna be another engineer or graduate that finish with study and settle with the normal RM 2k+ salary and grow old with it. I wanna take advantage of the pound against RM and maybe save a portion of money and have a good kick start when i’m back to Malaysia. But now, i’m not sure if i can even bare to stay on for master if the situation is getting worse.

I can only hope, hope that things will be normal again, hope that everyone is safe back home, hope that everyone is happy. I really need a pair of ears for me now but there are none available and all i can do now is hope.

Whitby

My last trip here was the Liverpool trip and it has being one month since i last do any traveling around UK, so the few of us has decided to join in the trip to Whitby this weekend. Abit of introduction, it’s a relatively small town on seaside and some of you might know the book Dracula, the writer actually wrote it based on one of the church on a top hill. Yup since it’s a seaside town there are also plenty of fish and chip shop around as they got the fishes directly from the fisherman and there are no doubt on the freshness of fishes used to make fish and chips here.

We were drop off at Whitby Abbey as it is some 199 steps ahead of the town of Whitby thus saving us all the energy to walk up. Well the church was sort of went through some war and here’s what’s left, there’s plenty left anyway so it still look kinda nice(lucky us that they didn’t have strong explosive as they do now?)

Yes you can actually go inside but they do charge 4 pounds for each entry(thus the walls around it as you see in the pictures), we sort of miss the entry point so we just walked around it. As we walked round it we were greeted by this great view

DSC00651

DSC00661

I basically took these pictures from a graveyard XD

DSC00670

Another pic of the church, i took quite a few picture of this building cos i think it looks kinda cool. i’m starting to like scenery pictures. The building, sunlight, cloud just make it so nice =D

DSC00672

DSC00677

We then proceed to the town area beneath the hill to shop around for souvinier, well nothing much interesting just that there’s alot of jet shop and candy shops. Went on to look for fish and chips as lunch. We were told to try out Magpies Cafe that was recommended by few of my friends who came here few weeks earlier but it seems like everyone like it so much that the line was insanely long so we decided not to wait and try out another shop which is less crowded.(i think they basically tasted about the same, it’s like bak kut teh in klang, some prefer this shop and some prefer others?)

DSC00689

Well the taste was nothing extraordinary, they basically just deep fried everything and serve it lol. ok la the fish were really fresh and the fries tasted good but i can’t really say the same when it got cold after 10 minutes, portion was large and because it was deep fried you’ll sort of get the disgusted feeling as you’re finishing it. My advise will be skip the chips and taste the fish or better still order one set and share it. It cost 3.90 pounds for the fish alone, ya kinda expensive but it’s cod fish and i’m in uk so i guess it’s alrite haha (most chinese would go ‘WTF” when they see they deep fried cod fish, seriously steaming it is still the best way)

After lunch we walked to the seaside area and took some photos around that place. Again i found my target again and this time it’s the light house.

DSC00700

And since it’s my target, i tried to grab hold of it

DSC00701

and trying to bite it

DSC00703

i don’t know where all these crazy idea comes from XD

Next up, one of my fav photo of this trip

DSC00714

And me, missing home

DSC00720

While we were walking around the town we saw alot of people walking their dogs and everytime i see it, it reminds me of my dogs at home >.< gosh i miss them too…

Anyway that’s all for now, we had a steamboat session yesterday and drank beer til bout 12 while i only sleep at 1am. Woke up at 630am for this trip and i’m freaking sleepy now. Next up should be the shopping heaven, hopefully =D

Ya i’m sort of lazy and running out of idea for title this the unique date title.

Updates of my life here?Well it’s being pretty much a routine now with what i do here, getting used to things and wondering where should i visit next?it has being weeks since i last join any trip so i guess its time to join some before i become some weird guy who came to uk and do not travel around. Oh ya i’m heading down to Liverpool again on August to catch the Athletico Madrid match, i’ve got the train ticket but the match ticket is still pending, hope that my friends at LJMU can grab me the tickets rather than waiting it to go on public sales.(pray hard for me will ya?) Ya i know it’s just a friendly and all but seems like it will cost me an arm to get any tickets for premier league game so better juz catch a match 1st, anything else is just bonus for me i guess.

Being adding up some friends at high school in facebook lately and randomly i saw my ex’s sister and decided to add her up. One thing lead to another and we ended up catching things up in MSN. Talk alot about each other life and what we did in these 2 years and accidentally heard about her breaking up with her bf recently. I didn’t ask much as i didn’t wanna be busybody (as if i am not) but i guess it surely has something to do with her job, ya not surprisingly she is also an air-stewardess now. (3 air stewardess from a family? -.-) so those guys who always dream to have an air-stewardess gf, let me tell you it’s not fun to have one, this is from someone who is speaking from experience =p You might be thinking now that i surely did ask her about her sister but to disappoint you i didn’t, i guess staying stranger to each other is the best for both of us.

No more emo feeling on her anymore, no more rubbish thinking, no more sad sad night thinking of the past. What’s left are just good memories and sweet smiles of what we used to have because life is certainly much more beautiful that way. =)

Nothing particular special to blog about here, just some random updates about my life here.

Finally i spent my 1st weekend staying home as they organized a trip to Manchester and i decide to skip it cos they are visiting Old Trafford as part of the trip. I didn’t join mainly because i was kinda exhausted travelling so much and that place is pure evil(MU -> devil, you get the drift) =D

Basically my usual weekdays will be going to class, go for groceries, cook dinner, watch some drama over PPS and call it a day. Sometimes playing basketball as well but ya life is kinda boring here. Weather starts to get hotter day by day and makes it more like summer now.

Right now i’m starting to get kinda busy with assignments, study is getting abit more tedious compared to the 1st few weeks, the visa extension thing which is troublesome as always. I’ve being receiving news over past few weeks telling me that i can’t extend my visa that i need to go back to Malaysia again to apply visa, for that split second i’ve actually thought of changing my plan to go back and never come back again. I’ve start to miss home, mum’s cooking(yup, a whole week of tomato sauce fish will not bored me now!), dad’s caring(kinda nag alot but i know he care for us), sis’s gossip, my car(miss it alot especially when i walk around like mad man!!i miss hentaming the fuel pedal >.<), my dogs back at home(seeing wiwi sleeping on my bed is priceless!!) and etc. Things are so different in my life now and suddenly it just felt like i’ve left home for a long time. All those memories just seems so old.

Enough of ranting before my sis go to my dad and tell him i wanna cancel the master plan(my sis reaction at this moment will be -.- or swt lolz). I’ve told myself to be more decisive and do things that i’ve plan so nop, there’s no change in my plan(unless they don’t gv me a visa then maybe i’ll hv to find a Plan B). Although i have my doubt with what kinda value i can fetch with the master but heck why worry something that is so far away and this is mainly because i have a supportive family who always let me do what i wanted. I know i would never say this to my dad face to face because i will feel shy but thank you daddy for what you did for me, i’m glad to have you as my dad because i couldn’t possibly ask for a better dad. I love you too mummy and sis, i just love my whole family =)

oh ya recently my cousin sis which was also my classmate back in standard one told me some touching stuff i did to her and she rmb it till today. Sorry la i really forgot about it but hey, a good boy will be a good man =p She seems a little down so come talk to me if you wan cos i can get really bored here sometimes.

As for my cousin’s jie mei, sorry that i didn’t realized what happened to you until i go to your blog after chatting with you. Hope you can get over that bad incident cos it wasn’t worth you spending your time on it at all(Spend the time chatting with me better =p).

That’s all for now.
