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!

Day-care Surgery @ SDMC

I would like to focus and write more on my experience yesterday (25 May 2010) when I went to SDMC to get my left ear 'fixed'...which had been infected and causing me discomfort since CNY 2010(14 Feb)


6.30am- Woke up and got ready for breakfast!
7.30am-Reached McD ordered BIG breakfast set and Milo!
8.00am-Stopped eating...FASTING time!!!
***************************************************************************************
9.00am-Went home...played card games on laptop
10.15am-DD came
11.30am-Depart to SDMC Day Care Surgery unit @ Level 1
12.15pm-Entered into the "piglet shelter" where those waiting to be operated wait >.<
12.30pm-Dr. Ng(the antithesis) came and 'jabbed' my right hand!!! *ouch!*
1.00pm- A nurse came in and gave me a pain killer TABLET!!! size of a Smarties...
1.15pm- I was wheeled into another "pig shelter" which is nearer to the OT. This time, MM cannot follow...She went lunch with DD at windmill!!!
-After going to the ladies, doze off at the second "pig shelter"
- Dr. Ng came by and wheeled me into the OT with the other nurses.
2.12pm-Once in the OT, many other nurses crowded around me and started taking my blood pressure and ECG. Then, Dr. Ng inserted another jab into my "port" and at the same time an indian nurse put a 'sleepy' mask and keep on asking me to inhale. >.< I shut my eyes (coz scared pain!)
*********************************************************************************************************
3.30pm- The next thing I know, I woke up at the first "pig shelter" but was sooooo DIZZY...
4.00pm- MM was next to me when I got up. A nurse showed me the polyps that was causing my left ear discomfort...its the size of a pea but it hurts like a giant..seriously, size does NOT matter!
4.30pm- The nurse shooed us out after she heard my laughter...wakakaka!!! she gave me glucose water...yummy!
5.30pm-DD arrived and drove us home..on the way, MM bought chicken porridge for my dinner

10.00pm- Took medication(YESH, medicines...sigh!) and went to bed!

Football

THe title says it all...did any of you watch the ManC v ManUtd match last sat??? OMG!!! it was magical...who in the world told me that ManUtd dont stand a chance against ManC?? Scholes proved you WRONG!! Did you see how he remarkably headbutted the ball to the goal post after 90 mins of the game during 2.59 minute of the 3 minute extra time??? Right after the ball was headed towards the goalpost,the referee whistled his time out and I jumped up and down with joy!!!

So,who was that idiot who made that comment again? *snikers*

*I rest my case*

Its April...

Yo...its another month ahead but I've yet to update my blog with a good post...aih...I really dunno what to write here...some are too personal(not gonna write here in case somebody sees it!) while others are irrelevant...hmm...

Okok...my trust lecturer Mr. Arnold Andrews(which was also my ex-crime lecturer) left BAC...reason being he wants to concentrate more on his firm,so he left us Jan 2009 intakes high and dry, well literally as most of us were planning to score based on his ahem spoon-feeding techniques...>.< I know I know...its wrong...we should score and enter Uni based on our own hard work and yada yada yada but argh...you-get-what-i-mean!!! =p

Well, Mr. Arnold just want you to know that its been my pleasure knowing you and honored to have learned from you...and if you're around the corner we go makan ok? I promise you I wont order milk!!! wakakakaka! *Inside joke*

Anyhow, Trust is now taught by Miss Puvannes,who had taught me crime before as well. Many of you might know her but to those who dont lemme give you a brief intro...she might be strict but she's the best! I'm not shoe-polishing here, just stating the fact as it is! XD

I'm supposed to be STUDYING now...but guess what...after checking the emails I'm here crapping my head off...

In this post, I'll just narrate regarding the dream I had a few days ago that got stucked in my mind like a super-glue....

In that dream, I was in UK already (to complete my final year law degree) but dont ask me which uni as my dream was not so precise...there I was pretty much alone...the background was very dark(so I assume it was during night time!) and i started to miss home!!! HOW???!!! After that I woke up...THE END...>.<

I would be lying if I were to say that I wont be missing home, come on I've never been apart from home for 9 consecutive days before...what more 9 months!!! Am i making the right decision here to go UK? If I dont go, I wont be able to practice law in the future (not that I wanna practice,but I would rather leave that option open in the meantime) but if I were to go, would I get to adapt to the lifestyle there? Yes, my friends will be there but in long term? The weather? What about mummy...will she be lonely? I despise the feeling of leaving her alone...I'm no WORLD BEST DAUGHTER here, we do have our bitter moments with each other but hey, thats what family is all about right?

Well,dont worry I'll try and solve this prob...hopefully my next post brings good news...>.<

Xoxo
