So, this weekend i went to Nottingham to attend the Nottingham Games. For those who don't know, it's an event where all the Malaysian Societies in the United Kingdom gather together for a day of fun and sports!

Had to get up at 4am, just to catch the train to Nott, but luckily we made it in time! haha...When we arrived at the University, all we saw were...people!! Lots and lotsa malaysians! But it was fun coz i got to see all my friends that i haven't seen for the past few months!! Although we didn't join any sports, it was nice just to simply gather round and chit chat.. There was also this Malaysian food fair that was going on, so it was very very nice to eat food from home!!

In the afternoon, a few of us went to explore the Nottingham town...it was a really nice town! I mean, i like the arrangement of all the shops and stuff..hehe..and half way through shopping, when we were talking bout farm animals or something like that, suddenly this came up:

Serena: Eh, what's the difference between lamb and sheep ah? Is it the same thing?
Me: ...yea lo, not same meh?...lamb is the meat and sheep is the one still with fur?
Serena: Oooo yea o.....EH WAIT, isn't the meat mutton?!
Me: Eh yea o...then what's lamb?...isn't the meat lamb? coz when you buy steak and stuff they write there lamb?
Serena: Isn't lamb the lady sheep?....eh wait....then what's goat!?!
Me: Goat is the one with horn rite?...sheep is the one with fur...
Serena: o yea yea...then what's lamb?!
Me:..............
...and it went on and on.....

...heh, so after a long time, i was still thinking bout it, and Jeremy finally cleared it....hahaha! But it was a good laugh..hehee..=)

O! then we went to the Nottingham castle, coz Chua kept wanting to go...haha! Nottingham is the home fo Robin Hood, so the castle was......his house or something like that? i forgot....hehe...but it was cool! Coz, it looked like a fort, it was a big BIG stone with a castle sitting on top, and at the sides of the rocks, there were windows and doors...which was coool...heheee..=)

It was a nice day...i'm starting to miss everyone i met there already....but yea, this was a start for many gatherings to come!..

Take care eveyone! and happy halloween~~

Thought of the week: Take things one at a time, it'll all work out..

some pictures...gonna post some on facebook as well, but most of them are with chua...

The title's a lil random..haha! sorry...

It's almost been a month since i started my course here in Birmingham, and i'm liking it! Still haven't loved it yet, but i have a feeling i will very soon....

Staying away from home is fun, but it's a challenge at the same time. To organise your life, and to make sure that your quality of life is maintained, not easy!

Anyway, when people here always ask me, so where do you come from? I would say, Malaysia. Then this question always follows, so you're a malay? Then i would say, nope, i'm a Chinese, but a malaysian. Then they would get sooooooo confused, and ask, but you're not from china?! so...i found an answer that will make them not confused, just say, i'm a Malaysian born Chinese, and all is clear...haha! When i'm away, i actually learn to appreciate Malaysia more, coz back home, everyone lives peacefully together. Here, there's bound to be a certain level of discrimination, and i don't like it! But thank God for putting nice people around me..

Have you ever looked into the mirror, and for that split second, when you look into your eyes, you see nothing, like there's no life inside those eyes, and after you blink, it goes away?....

It sucks to be sick when you're away from home....

Thought of the week: Don't wait till tomorrow, whatever you can complete today. It makes a difference!

Take care everyone! Miss all of you lots....

I'm about one month away to begin a totally new journey, to a brand new start, to a brand new place, and learning something new...i'm excited!!!...no doubt...but worried at the same time. I'm worried that the decision i made was wrong, worried that i won't be able to get used to the new environment, worried what lies ahead of me...but i'm excited to start all over! I can do whatever i want, without being judged by who i was in the past. I can change my lifestyle, to one that is an upgraded version of what's going on now..i hope..heh..can't wait! But i'm gonna miss everyone here......sigh

Anyways, i'm going to KL next week!! Can't wait....but i hope my visa letter arrives at my house on time before i leave. If not....uh oh...big problem...tsk...

Random question for everyone to answer: What is your definition of being successful in life?

Dance like nobody's watching!!!...
