Boring Summer

This is my 2nd week in Malaysia. I can say that I have adapt everything here again. However, I don't really know what to do during this summer. My everyday routine is eat, bath and sleep as there is no entertainment over here in Melaka. The internet speed is slow and there are no place to hang out. Luckily, I went KL last week for a few days to meet up with my sis and my friends and I really enjoyed it. We are back here in Melaka now but we are going up again two weeks later.

Some of my friends organized a trip to Penang on the 7th of July. I heard that this trip will be a big one as most of my ex-classmates are joining. Therefore, I am really looking forward to it.

Have a nice summer break!

Malaysia Here I Come

Finally, my exams are over and I've finished my 1st year over here in Manchester. It was fast as the number of holidays I had and will be having is almost equal to the number of days I spent on schooling. I'm having my three months summer break now so I decided to go back Malaysia to spent this summer with my family and friends. Before going back, I'm heading to London for a day just to meet up with my college friends.

Packing is seriously a pain in the ass. I've done packing for the last few days and there are just so many things to pack. The worst thing is moving your belongings from a place to another. It causes your hands and legs to ache. I've stored my possessions in some of my friends' house. It is very kind of them for not charging me. However, I think I might pay to store in a storage company next year as it will solve all the trouble.

Ester Break

Spring has arrived finally. The higher temperature now causes flowers and trees to grow again. I'm having my ester break now. It is actually quite late as some of my friends had had theirs one week ago. Well, nothing much actually happened last month and I suppose it will be the same until I go back to Malaysia on the 12th of June. I will be having my exams two weeks after my three weeks break. In another word, I'll face the final year exams in 5 weeks time. So I might spent more time on studies during this holiday. I received my grades for my 1st semester exams last month and I am quite satisfied with it. I just hope that I can keep up with it.

Happy Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year over here in UK is quite "dead" actually. Of course it is related to the Chinese population in UK. I can't feel the new year mood this year. There aren't any new year decorations on the street and houses. Maybe there is something going on at china town but it is quite a distance from my hall. I did attend a Chinese New Year gathering in my hall but it turned up to be quite disappointing. The music player was not working and the food was bad. I miss those days back in Malaysia that me and my family had a reunion dinner together. I guess one will only appreciate something after losing it. Last but not least, I missed my parents cooking and also Malaysian food.

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

Prom Night

It was an awesome night at J.W.Marriott. Everyone dressed up in their Sunday best to attend the Atlantis Odyssey. The environment was just nice and we have awesome performances on the stage. However, the food served was not up to our expectations and the dance floor was too small. Most of the time, we are busy taking pictures with each other and teachers as this prom is also our farewell party.

Not forget to mention that Fred won the best dressed for the prom. We are proud of him for winning something for PE5!

After the prom, those who stayed overnight at Marriott went clubbing at a club located at Cangkat. The entrance fees and the price for the Chivas was reasonable but the dance floor was a little too packed. It was an epic night and some of us get drunk so badly.

After clubbing, some of us decided to go for supper at a mamak restaurant but they ended up visiting K.F.C.

The next morning, those early birds went for breakfast at a bakery just a stone throw away from our hotel. After everyone woke up and got ready, we checked out from the hotel and went for a movie at Pavilion. The A-team was a good movie. However, some of us fell asleep during the movie!

It was a tyring but interesting night out. I think some of us need some serious rest for the next few days. Love you people, always!

PS: Caprice is damn awsome!
