Day 5.

Worst feeling ever.


Going home is so close, yet so far.


2 more weeks and its Good Bye, Foreign Land and Hello, Home!




BigDummy.


P.s I made steamed egg with minced meat for dinner! Using the rice cooker. Bowl on the still-cooking rice, literally(cause I don't have the steam basket). And it turned out a success! So proud of myself. (:

Day 2.

I AM SO SLEEPY! NOT GOOD. So, keep myself occupied by blogging. :p

Hey peeps. Heard the fire alarm from another building. Just realised they're only testing it. DAMN.
Anyway, got back from a not-so-productive 2-hour study session in the library today. 

Lets see what are the papers left:
Mathematics
Chemical Reaction Engineering
Chemical Engineering Design
Thermodynamics
Transport Phenomena

4 more. DIE. So, today is Day 2 after my math paper. Day 1 was NOT a productive day at all. Wasted the entire day not studying and I have no idea where did all my time go. Woke up at 12pm, cook and eat till 3pm, what's next...? Thus, I am trying to compensate for yesterday's extra-laziness now. :( Not cool.

Speaking of cool, the temperature today has gone down compared to last week. My first(and probably the last) time wearing shorts in Manchester cause it was THAT warm last week. And I thought to myself, "Oh boy, if it's THAT warm this week, then the next week is gonna be much colder. Crap."

I want the sun NOW! Okay maybe not now, since I'm gonna stay in my room the whole day anyway. I want the sun TOMORROW!


Oh dear, I better get back to studying now. Later.

So much for a new year resolution to keep updating my blog. Oh well. Resolutions are made to be broken anyway.

Stress is here too! Zits are popping out like nobody's business. Hate it! Hate 'em ALL! ):

Only thing I'm looking forward to.. the day I'm gonna fly back home. (:
Can't wait to sleep in my own room.

Sneak peak of my study place.

That's uhm.. before the last A-Level exam. Excuse the untidiness. That is so not me. ;)

Anyway, Imma head to my friend's place(Weston accommodation) now. Not to slack but to STUDY!
Later.

BigDummy.

P.s I still haven't found a perfect place to study yet. ): Maybe I will next year.

 List of places to study:

  • Starbucks
  • Library
  • 旺旺cafe (chinatown)
  • Piccadilly Train Station
  • Weston
  • My room

Anymore to add on the list?

Overdose?

Hey peeps.

I played with lego building blocks till my nose bled yesterday. HAHahah. :)

Now I know that building something from lego can be so addictive to me! Just few weeks ago, me and my friend spent bout 3-4 hours just to build the ground level of the same building which is about 22cm x 13.5cm x 25cm.

Lego OD? Or maybe its the weather/season change in UK?

Friday Morning.

Friday morning.
Rain is falling.
8.10am on my watch.
I jumped out of bed.
I was gonna be late for a 9am class.
Got dress, freshen up and had a bowl of cereal.
Rushed down 4 flights of stairs.
Called Careena(coursemate) to ask where she was.
"I'm in my room"
And it hit me.......

@*&#%$#*@#!*@& 

>:(


My class on Friday only starts at 10am.
I was a big dummy since I woke up today.
And I even told my flatmate that I woke up late cause she woke up late too. But she actually has class at 9am while I THOUGHT I have class at 9am.
This is the second time I felt like a big dummy, rushing downstairs and wait for my friend while the receptionist and cleaners were getting ready for the day. I hate Friday mornings.

Sweet with Bitter aftertaste?

Hey peeps.

Woke up today to find that outside my window was really really foggy. It was at bout 8.30am? Felt really weird cause all I can see was just the other half of my hall across the courtyard. Luckily, I have some pictures to show!
Behold! My evidence! (outside my window)


see what I mean? when it was supposed to be...


Well not ALL the time, but usually the sky is blue in the morning. :)
And when the sun is setting.. or when the sun is already down...


Good Evening, Manchester!

The BB curve camera not bad eh? :) But that doesn't stop me for wanting to get a new camera!!

Anyway, yesterday was the Frank Morton Sports Day, where all the chemical engineers around the country gathers to compete in sports. As usual, I don't participate in such events. So, me and my friends decided to have our own, quote WaiLum, "mini Frank Morton", in the Sudgen Sports Centre, right opposite to where I'm living now. Just riiiiiiight across the road. :)

Some of us played basketball and the rest played badminton.
Basketball : FAIL.
Badminton: Masih boleh tahan.
So, I played badminton! Didn't realised how much I miss playing badminton. It totally made my day. :) Since I haven't done any sports since I got here (5 months ago), my body is still aching like mad since last night. Quote someone, "Aaaaaaaiyoh Old alreaaaaaady."


BigDummy.

Weather report: Fog in the morning, Sun for the REST of the day! WOOHOO.
My PBL(problem-based learning) groupmate once told me that "The sun always comes out before it snows" I have a bad feeling it is going to snow tomorrow. The MSN weather forecast says there's gonna be snow tomorrow evening. Hope they're wrong wrong wrong!

P.s WaiLum is my coursemate.

Semi-homesick.

Hey peeps.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! :)

Its my first time celebrating CNY away from home. A little homesick but fortunately my cousins and friends were here with me. (: We had steamboat this year (apparently they have steamboat almost every chinese new year in the UK). So, doesn't make this time any different from the others. Fun part was me and Ying Ling get to go walk around and buy some stuff for the mini reunion dinner that night, i.e YeeSang/YuSheng/鱼生/余升. Both of us were carrying that around and people were staring at us, thinking "whoa! why are they carrying that huge-ass thing?" or "whoa! what are they carrying?". Cause you know.. that thing comes in a big plate. So yeah.

now that's HUGE.

OKAY. Steamboat then hang around and chat then it was 12am then me and NicSoo syok sendiri shouted "Happy New Year!" then us 3 cousins went on skype with family back in Alor Star, Malaysia. Everyone was either in red or pink. And us 3 in grey. (I wore red the next day, fyi)

We didn't really take much pictures. I think I need a camera now. Seriously. :(

Anyway, yeah but most of all CNY wouldn't feel like CNY without my all-time FAV...

Peanut cookies from home!!

Yeah. Courtesy of Ying Ling who brought it aaaaaaaall the way from Malaysia.

Went back to Manchester on Sunday.
Ying Ling and Nic Soo sent me off (starting to feel homesick).
On the train back to Manchester with 2 duck rice in my bag (thank goodness they didn't smell). 
Rush to do my lab report at 11pm. 
Slept at 5am, Woke up at 7am.
BLOODY 2 hours of sleep!
Result: Crashed at 10.30pm that night.

Oh dear its 10.30pm now. Time for bed! (trying to sleep early and wake up early :) )
早睡早起,身体好!

Later.

BigDummy.

Weather report: SLEET at 6am [HORRIBLE!]
Good thing it didn't last all day.

P.s I've changed my blog layout because SOMEONE was annoyed by the cute Grumpy Toast. -_-
P.P.s What did the toast ever do to you?! :(
P.P.P.s try using google language toolbar to translate "早睡早起,身体好".

Untitled.

Hey peeps.

Its a Saturday night and I'm in my room. Well, I've been in my room since I got back from city centre last night. Woke up at 1pm this afternoon even though my alarm was set at 11am. I did wake up at 9am for no apparent reason.. Then I went back to sleep... as usual. :)

Guess who came to Manchester last week?

Its... LING LING(no typo)! :)

We were trying out this Thai restaurant in china town. Not too bad. First time eating steamed fish since I came here. *drools*

I started watching CSI again. Something totally random happened.

Gil Grissom: you're nose is bleeding *looks at the dude*
Dude: *wiping the blood off*

And then there's blood from my nose. (No worries.. its just a slight bleed.) Oh the irony....

Anyway, ever since semester 2 started, I've been really really lazy. My fridge was quite empty and I've been living off pop-into-oven-for-0.5hour meal with some greens and my new fav after-meal snack - Muller yogurt! Yup, that's my dinner. So, I decided not to be lazy today by cooking rice and a dish. :P Hehe. Its just baked beans with egg mushroom and stuff. Very simple.

Okay. Time for more CSI... :D



Fine.. and then some revision too. -_-

Later.

BigDummy.

Weather report: clear sky, sunny. :)
Wasted cause I stayed in the whole day. Hope it doesn't rain tomorrow!

New Blog Layout!

Hey peeps. I'm back again with a new blogskin. (:

Likey my grumpy toast? I thought it was cute. :P But I won't be using this for long. Will be finding a new layout soon.

Anyway, my week has started off well. So did the weather. Until today. It snowed for awhile in the afternoon. And I almost slipped while walking to class this morning. :(

Okay, right. I will try to take some pictures and you know.. spice up my posts a little. Its getting a wee bit too wordy.

Dinner's calling! Later peeps.

Back from the dead.

Hey peeps. Miss me? (:

Yes. Ying has finally published a new post on her blog (screw the cheesy title) and I'm quite amazed that I have left my blog hanging for bout.... 4 months. Oh dear!...

Okay fine! One of my new year resolutions (although I don't really believe in them) will be to keep my blog up to date (except when I'm having exams, okay? ;) )!

I was reading my very first online journal just now and was totally embaressed by it. TOTALLY!

You shall not go look for it!

But it was loads of fun reminding me bout the silly stuff I did and then blogging about it.

Anyway, I gotta go do some hard core studying NOW. And I mean it! I hope.
Fluid Flow, Reynolds number, yada yada yada... here I come!!!

Sorry bout the (13 days) delay. Happy New Year, peeps.

Mraz mania.

It takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a story
It takes an egg to make a hen
It takes a hen to make an egg
There is no end to what I'm saying


It takes a thought to make a word
And it takes some words to make an action
And it takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
It takes some bad for satisfaction
.....

Hey peeps. Just did some random quiz thing out of boredom.

You Are Exotic and Mystifying
People see you as a complete enigma, and only you truly understand who you are.
You spend most of your time introspecting and seeking truth.
You're a very interesting person... but not many people know you enough to realize it.

You are a very lucky person. Things just always seem to go your way.
And because you're so lucky, you don't really have a lot of worries. You just hope for the best in life.
You're sometimes a little guilty of being greedy. Spread your luck around a little to people who need it.

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic "Type A" personality.

You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out.
Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia.
Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person.

You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in.
You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising.
You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.
You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life.
You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone.
Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs.



O_O whooaaa. mystifying. hahahhahahhaa
If this thingy is true, does it mean by coincidence that whoever has the same name as me will have the same personality too? o_O

BigDummy.

To Wendy, who was so emo-looking yesterday, don't be sad :)
cause......
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful

Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la...

hahahaa not like there's a hidden message whatsoever. Its just telling you that life is wonderful. :P

Jason Mraz PHASE.

The remedy is the experience.
This is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that it's serious.
This is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your nights with the light on


I have temporarily fallen in love with Jason Mraz. Gawd. *faints*

I'll be in a Jason Mraz phase for the next few days. x)
But it'll pass. Soon. I hope. :P


So shine the light on all of your friends
When it all amounts to nothing in the end.

Jason Mraz made my day.

Good Job
Get 'em up way high
Gimme gimme that high five
Good time
Get 'em way down low
Gimme gimme that low dough...




Hey peeps. Just got back from my first concert of the year... Jason Mraz's and I have to say one thing:

JASON MRAZ ROCKS MAH SOCKS!!!

His concert is better than expected.
His live performances are so much better than the recordings in his album. :P
He is so talented!! gawd.
He invited Penny Dai to sing with him the duet he did with Colbie Caillat!
His crew is awesome.

Although I got home sweaty and unsatisfied since I didn't get to join the standing crowd in the pit :( , I still had fun. x)


Good God
Bring 'em back again
Gimme gimme that high ten
You're the best definition of good intention

ranting time! :)

Greetings, foolish earthlings. Whatever. Hey peeps! x)

HAPPY CNY!

It's been awhile. Class is starting on Tuesday. GAWD. I'm so lazy as usual. Been sleeping at 4 almost every night and waking up at 2 or 3 in the afternoon the next day.

Anyway, I'm so not happy with CNY this year. I'd say its probably the worst I've ever had!

Because::

1. Spent my whole day doing MATHS.
Gaaah! Unexpectedly, an FP1 paper took me ages to complete. By the time I completed bout 2 papers? The sky is already dark. I don't even get much time to hangout with my cousins. ):
It sucks having papers either on or after CNY.

2. Water shortage.
My grandmother's house hasn't changed for more than a decade. It's not spacious since only my grandmother, my aunt and uncle lives there. Thus, there is only 1 tank of water in the roof, to bathe the whole family. Tank will be full when the sun rises and EMPTY when the sun goes down. Tank refills in the middle of the night. Cycle repeats. So, uhm.. not to say we don't bathe cause that would be gross. Well, either we shower before the water runs out or we will have to shower somewhere else. o_o interesting....

3. Power failure.
Great. Just great. Power failure on CNY. AND its in the evening, which lasted for few hours. It wasn't so bad cause then we got out of the house and the kids started playing ping pong. Then the sky turns dark and we can't see the damned ping pong ball. It's okay. We can still stone. Stoning is uhm.... cool and you wouldn't be aware of your surroundings and before you know it the power comes back on. Then comes the most annoying THING in my world, which is my 4th point. I went back into the house and I was so happy when the lights are back on. Guess what? It didn't even last for 5 minutes and the power went off again. Whatever. At least I wasn't the only one to suffer. :P Mind you, this happened last year or maybe the year before.
Moving on...

4. Mosquitoes.
AH yes. THE MOST ANNOYING THING in my world. They're EVERYWHERE!!! Gaaaah!! Many times, many times in my life, I've been wishing that mosquitoes will extinct, together with their best buddies, a.k.a flies. Ya damned houseflies. Ya damned mosquitoes. Okay, I won't be so bad to wish for them to extinct. Instead, I wish for them to go vegan! Damned female mosquitoes, go feast on fruits or vegetable juices like your spouse does.

PHEW! Okay, I'm done ranting x)
A bit wordy? Deal with it. (:




Actually...... Nah. What I've been through on that day may be bad but hey, its CNY and I'm always happy on that day, no matter what. Know why? ........ Good food and angpau. ;)


BigDummy.



P.S oh yeah! I've finished 2 and 1/2 seasons of Grey's Anatomy in a week.
What an achievement eh? :D
Aren't you guys proud of me? Major drama overdose? I can live with that. :P
