First week in UK

Dear All,

Sorry for not blogging in the longest time...was busy adapting to the new environment here...>.< My flight (with dad!) was at 10am on 22 Sept..We took MAS airline- BUSINESS CLASS!!! Entered the business lounge..and the food there was like massive all types...from nasi lemak to cereals,sandwiches...etc..you name it they got it AND its all f.o.c!! I know I sound jakun but its FREE!!! LOL..

After 30 min of hanging around there...we went on board the plane..Whee!!! (see facebook for more pics!) The 13 hours to get to Heathrow airport flew by rather quickly...in total I watched 5 movies which are Letters to Juliette(Eng), Small Soldiers Big Soldiers (HK),Beauty on Duty(HK), Cinta Silleto(Malay) and Ever After (Eng). Cant really sleep on board as there is a young girl who was wailing all the way!! As such, played games like bejewelled and hangman really kept me busy!

We arrived in Heathrow Airport around 4.15pm(UK time) on the same day, which is well 8 hours earlier than Malaysia (12.15am). Uncle Harry and his eldest daughter Anouska came in 2 cars..both mercedes benz!!! Apparently, cars in UK are very cheap,its just the price of petrols which are the killers! Their home is located at Gerrards Cross near to London but a countryside area..its wonderful!!! Even their dog Snowy is a cutie!! Stayed with the Kapurs (Uncle Harry,Aunt Ash, Anouska,Karina and Snowy) for 3 nights! They spoiled us by bringing us good food every meal- Chinese,Italian,Pasta,Fish and Chips...

Besides that, we managed to do some sight-seeing and shopping in Westfield, which happens to be the biggest shopping mall in the whole of Europe! Uncle Harry drove us there. I instantly fall head over heels for M&S (Marks & Spencer) In UK, M&S is so common everywhere...its like mamaks in Malaysia. Just that M&S sells loads of things from clothes to toiletries to undergarments to food...>.< I spend over 100GBP...and thats only in M&S!! WE stopped for lunch at Spaghetti House before continuing our shoping spree. Next stop,we went Russell & Bromley which sells shoes-I brought 2 pairs!!! XD I even went Pavillions which is something like Sungai Wang at Oxbridge to get my UK number (Vodafone)

The only dissapointment was that I suffered from jet lag...I'll tend to fall asleep/get really sleepy and tired during every dinner time especially during the first few nights
Imagine having dinner at odd hours like 4-5am Malaysian time!!!

I checked into University of Hertfordshire on 25 Sept and the first impression I got was that this campus is freaking big!!!! I mean its HUGE!!! I'm located at HADHAM block/flat 001 room 005...=) Do come and visit me k!! Will upload pictures once I get hold of my USB cable (which I left back in Malaysia)


Will sign off now. Add more later k!!

Love

A summary on the past months.

Wow!! My last post was published in May and now its Sept...where did the 4 months flew to??!! Lets see whether I can recall what happened in the past months and I'll scribble the important ones below... * few hours later*

June- Nothing much occured except that I received my assignment marks!!! I passed all *phew* now just waiting for the real deal (exams!) Besides that, I chose the subjects which I would be doing in UK! EU,Family Law(dissertation),Company Law and Intellectual Property.=)

July- Started to panic and worry that exams would be to tough too handle... so many things to do so lil time...>.<" Exams took place starting on 30th July 2010 (Evi)

Aug- The remaining 3 papers were in Aug 2nd(Trust) 4th(Tort) and 6th(Land)! Imagine 4.5 hours to complete 4 questions during that period.. and I was only given 45 mins extra compared to the 1.5 hours I get during the first year and A-Levels! *Sigh!*

-It was indeed breathtaking after the exams!! I went karaoke twice with friends,celebrated friends birthdays,went on trips (Taiping), celebrated my 21st birthday (very much in advance)cum bon voyage(will post more on it later!) AND most importantly, got my results!!! Well,in summary I met University of Hertfordshire's requirement..so I'm satisfied (the Uni only take into account our 3rd year results into the cert!)

Sept- Managed to submit my Student Visa at Wisma MCA, Jalan Ampang...most of my other friends complained that it takes literally FOREVER to just submit the darn form, but for me it was relatively fast as I brought my secret weapon(Porshe a.k.a wheelchair!) =p

- Besides that, I also received a new laptop Sony Vaio S Series VPCS125FG for RM 3740.00
The features are great and its white in color...dunno why all my electronic gadgets are white this year...my laptop,my handphone, my watch...and coincidentally both the laptop and handphone are from SONY...lolx Oh ya and i even got a 'something like a thumbdrive' with the capacity to load up to 320 GB files!! XD All these would be brought to UK to 'accompany' me during my studies...As far as I know, my flight would be on Sept 22nd but till now no news on Visa as yet >.<
Am keeping both fingers and toes crossed...
P.S= the Sept volume is up till Sept 12 2010...

Will update more as more information flows in..Cheerio!
