Life Is Not A Bed of Roses

Our life is always full of ups and downs. There will be pleasure and sorrow. Everyone experienced different problems and situations before and I experienced a big obstacle during my A-levels.

Fate can be cruel. I was given a conditional offer from Imperial College London which require
  • A for Physics
  • A* for Maths
  • A for either Chemistry and Accounting

I did my best during the A-levels and I was hoping to get into this university. However, I was not given the result that I expected.

  • A* for Maths
  • A for Chemistry
  • A for Accounting
  • B for Physics

The B nearly kill of all my As. I'm rejected from my firm and insurance offer and being thrown into clearing.

Both universities replied me quite late which give me limited time to find a suitable university in clearing. However, I managed to receive an offer from The University of Manchester but this is not the end of it. Due to my late offer, I was given an accommodation which is far from my university. To make things worst, my CAS number took quite a long time to be processed.

Without the CAS number, I can't apply for my UK visa early. The process for UK visa is so complicated and long that my dad and I have to travelled from Melaka to KL again and again at 5 am as the queuing line starts at 7am and ends at 3pm. That is not all. Due to the amount of holidays in November, there is a huge delay on my visa and I have to alter my air ticket.

Thankfully, the blessing comes after that and I had my visa and a safe flight to UK although I missed up some of my orientation days.

The point of this brief story is just to tell you guys out there to never give up when you are facing any troubles and always believe in God.

Happy New Year

Ah!!! I've finally revived my blog after months. Credits to Michael Poon who keep asking me to update it. By the way, I would like to wish everyone a happy new year and share a few stories of mine and some on the next posts.

I've managed to achieved part of my dream as a was a young boy - further my study in UK. Yes it may sound silly but I guess most of you guys have the same dream as me. Yes, no, maybe?

It is currently snowing over here in UK which is a nice experience for me to observe the beauty of the snow. However, the cold is sometimes unbearable and I have to stay in my room most of the time. I get bored and ended up playing DotA with Fred, Gary and Michael.

Yeah, I miss those times in Taylors where you and your friend meet up most of the time and having a lot fun together. I will always remember those jokes from you guys out there especially Gary, the class joker.

Besides that, I also miss Malaysian food. (Gary and Michael stop sending me photos of Malaysian food) Hopefully, I am able to come back to Malaysia during summer and meet up with you guys again. I bet you know what is going to happen next. Someone is gonna to get his ass kicked! Say What!

PS: You will love the sun over here in UK
