Back in Action~ XD

wooo...it's been so long since i've blogged hehe. In case you're all wondering, UK is great! But the only problem is the currency which I'm still not used to.

Life has been good to me over the weeks, through time I've learned how to cook, how to "really" take care of myself and stuff like that. Thanks alot to Choo and Suh Yi for "taking care" of me the first few weeks. Here, I've learned the meaning of true friendship and I'd like to thank my "brothers" for being there for me in times of need and trouble... cheers XD

Well, the place I'm staying is pretty nice...the only problem is the internet line which sucks so bad I've learned to live without the internet. (I'm actually blogging in the library now lol).

Lectures and lab sessions are pretty much the same as it was in Sedaya only that the lecturers here in Sunderland seem to know more than what they teach. This sem I'm taking 4 modules which are Biotechnology final project, Medical Microbiology, Immunology and *drumroll* Japanese language! Finally I have the chance to take my favorite language for free hehe. Btw, the Japanese language lecturer is pretty funny and cute lol.

Food? hmm... the first few days all we had to eat were pasta, pasta, pasta, and pasta. Over the next few days we progressed to eating bread and now finally, we have rice to eat. We had to go through some trouble buying the ingredients because normally our mothers were the ones doing it. Picking fresh vegetables, meat that were on sale, etc etc is pretty fun. When it comes to cooking, it's very much the same as preparing a science experiment. A little dose of this and that and there you have it, a cooked meal XD

Oh, I was in Newcastle about 2 weeks ago, and it's so much different from Sunderland. It's a very beautiful city and not to mention, St James Park was the first BPL stadium I've visited since I've arrived in the UK. Took lots of pictures and they can be seen in my facebook profile.

Hopefully during the 3 week Xmas holidays I'll be able to visit other major cities in England and not to mention, the awesome stadiums! Old Trafford, Anfield, Emirates, to name a few.

As I was saying earlier, life here is great. Looking forward to each coming day and being thankful for each day that has passed.

To all you people back home in Malaysia, I miss you guys! :D

Finally Arrived in England~

Arrived yesterday (20th Sept) in Newcastle Internation Airport about 12.15pm (local UK time) from Dubai.

The weather's great but the winds can get really chilly at times. Waited for the Uni of Sunderland bus to pick us up from the airport. The place looks great, vast landscapes, little shop-like looking houses along the roads, and lots of green trees. Arrived Sunderland about 3pm and then went on to collect our room keys. I'll post some pics after I've uploaded them and update this post to more detail. Met up with Jason and Wan Ling.

Jason is staying over at my place for 2 days, Wan Ling will be staying at her sis' place for a couple of days. Lots of stuff to catch up on with them hehe. Had dinner with everyone last night at a bar called Lambton's. It was so happening with em Brits drinking and celebrating Sunderland's victory over Middlesborough. Dinner was great, and the beer made me feel so relaxed after a very long journey on the plane.

Went back home about 10pm and then met some cool Irish peeps, a Greek, and a guy from Manchester. Really friendly people lol.

Well, gotta run off now...will update much later.

Cheers

Back in KL (again)

Well, I'm back in KL again. Will be loitering here before I go to UK on the 20th of Sept (gosh, that's only like 2-3 days away o_o" )

Was worried that my luggage would be overweight but luckily it was only 22.6kg at KKIA. That means I still have plenty of space to add stuff before going to UK. Will also be doing some last minute shopping in KL to get stuff like extension wires/adaptors, a pair of formal leather shoes, some instant noodles, and some toiletries. Damn, I hate shopping...

Went out with JS, BP, LB, and ZH earlier just now to Asia Cafe and then chilled at ZH's place for sometime just to talk and play ps2. Never knew playing PES2008 with a group of friends would be so fun. Will really miss you guys when I go to UK but hey, that's what the internet is for~ Keep in touch guys!

Gensokyouku ~Eternal Silence~

Lately I've been really addicted to this song "Gensokyouku ~Eternal Silence~" by the Visual Kei band Phantasmagoria. The song is auto-played in my blog. However I will embed the video here for you all to enjoy :)

Lyrics (Translated)

Beyond that hill, a stone paved street rises up
like the sun and your favorite piano notes,
The common daily incidents are lodged in these notes forever
An umbrella weeps, the day is filled with the moon,
the reason of the day that we met by chance

You are alive, Let me hear your pulse and the flowing of your blood~

Chorus:

I wish heaven, I want to meet you
I'm eternally walking through thse ordinary days
I wish heaven, I want to meet you
Let me be the way I am at time's whereabouts~

Alone, I approached the moonlit road
where I recall you and the piano notes I heard.
I don't need anyone's voice.
I wonder if I will still get to heart those notes now.

Moving past memories, I see you as if its the day we first met.
You are alive. Let me hear your pulse and the flowing of your blood~

I wish heaven, I want to meet you
Its too cold, too quiet.
I wish heaven, I want to meet you
Time's door won't open, neither will your eyes.

Bridge:
Will there be silence for eternity? Can my wish be granted?
I won't say goodbye even if I can't meet you right away~

I wish heaven, because if the time comes... I can see you anytime
I wish heave, I came to meet you...

I will look at that flower

until that day comes...

F**k Motorcycles

Was on my way this morning to get Kelvin when some dumb ass motorcyclist rammed into my rear bumper causing a very bad dent. Not only that, the guy just took off after that after doing some gestures (as though he had a heart attack). Marcel was in the car when this happened and we were both stunned on the spot after what happened. I've never really liked motorcycles on the road especially during my last 3 years in KL. Now that this has happened to me in KK, I am officially anti-motorcycle mode now.

Repairs would cause me almost to RM400 just for an accident which I did not initiate. How could this happen? I was on the right lane signalling to cut into the middle lane and that bike was behind me. He was looking behind to see if there were any cars before accelerating and picking up momentum to go into the middle lane. There I was innocently in front of him and my car wasnt even moving nor did I do any emergancy brake but the fella rammed straight into my rear. I mean, how can you accelerate at a quick speed while looking only behind and not what's in front? Amazing...was my engine too quiet? was my car in stealth mode? how could he have not see me?

Right now I don't even feel like doing any driving anymore. What's the point if I'm being careful on the road while others are not? Well, to sum it up... I'll just blame my luck and the fact that my engine is too quiet.

F**king motorcycles
