Plans are meant to be broken
Remember the 3 day plan I had after university life was over? Yeah I don't think irresponsible people, a.k.a. me should ever create. In fact I should be barred from planning ahead like, ever.
Sept 1 - Didn't sleep for the entire night, walked to library to print assignment, rushed for exam, handed up assignment, had lunch with Angeline & Bird, had coffee at Nero, didn't get my shoes, got ready, went to Angeline's to be dollied, called for cab, waited for cab, cab was late and we were late, walked to Adelphi Hotel with those high heels that gave me blisters 3 months ago, forced myself to finish the food, photo taking session, some dancing, went to 2 different bars, danced like a crazed maniac, went home
Sept 2 - Celebrated Xiao Ren's birthday, had tequila for the first time ever, played Police & Mafia til 3am, went home, took a shower, uploaded pics on Facebook, chucked stuff into the luggage, sleep, wake up, lugged luggage out, housemate (I think it was Mimi) thought I was flying home, called for cab, waited for cab, cab arrived, arrived at Lime Street, found the train surprisingly easy, arrived at Nottingham, arrived at Loughborough in 15mins, no elevators/escalators at Loughborough station so this white guy helped me lugged the luggage up and down the stairs, met godparents, had lunch, went home and watched TV, went for some sightseeing, had dinner, had a good chat, went online, slept
Sept 3 - Headed back to Liverpool, bumped into Wei Xiang, Derique, Sharon and Allen, took a shower, went to library to return books, converted my pounds to euros, did laundry, washing machine spoilt so loaded it to another one, went to library to return the rest of the books (yes I'm that kiasu I borrowed the entire library), dinner with housemates (who turned out to be half of the girls from Europe trip's Coach D), took my time, Mimi tells me it's 8.45pm, ran to the room and practically threw anything I could find into the bags, JC asks to have dinner but I couldn't so I gave her the unopened bottle of lemonade and pineapples, ran down to get my laundry, left the bedsheets and duvet in the room, left my unwanted stack of books as well, plus the trash, dumped the bags into the bus (I was the first! >.<), ran back to get the Internet cable and returned it and the keys, realized me and my housemates left food lying around the kitchen, totally forgot about my Mars chocolate in the fridge, ran out, housemate tells me my dinner is still on the table, I told her I couldn't finish her sayur, fiddled with my seat, looked around and thought jeez there are some weird looking guys sitting behind me

It's Sept 1st!
My last day as an undergrad. Awww ... gonna miss some of them coolest peeps ever!
Me, Sharon (who rings me up every Sunday morning for church) and Xiao Ren (without a doubt, one of them fun-nest guy ever!)
Me and Eling (who called just to see how my rashes were ... so kam tong! (touched))
So let's take a look at my upcoming schedule as an ex student >.<
Sept 1 - Go library print assignment, rush for exam, scream for joy and then sigh, perhaps more photo session, Starbucks with Angeline and Bird, maybe shop for shoes, go home and prepare for graduation night dinner and disco, go home and hope I'm hungry enough for supper cuz there's still unfinished food (>.<), pack my luggage, sleep.
Sept 2 - Wake up early to finish my Tesco ready made microwave food, continue packing my luggage, hoping it ain't too heavy so I can lug it downstairs myself, call cab, wait for cab, look around and sigh, cab arrives and head for Lime Street Station, hope I'll know which train to take and which platform to wait at, get on the train, interchange in Nottingham, reach Loughborough, meet godparents.
Sept 3 - Wake up, head back to Liverpool, if I still have time I'll rush to West Kirby for one last time and get my Bakin Boys muffins at Morrisons, rush home, do final laundry, finish my last Tesco meal, pack up everything else, head off to Sharon's place for final Liverpool gathering, run back to room to prepare, at 2130 say farewell to Liverpool and hello Europe!.
Sept 17 - Back from Europe, living in London and doing more touring.
Oct 3 - Make my way to Loughborough and doing more sightseeing.
Oct 10 - Farewell England and hello home (bluek! haha)

Whoopee
No more watching Big Brother! Wheeeeeee!!
To future Summer Semester Programme juniors, I'm not trying to scare anyone off but start watching Big Brother UK now on the Internet to familiarise yourself with the various English accent =) If Ethics is still in the curriculum (how do you spell this lah?!) lah, which I think it will be.
If you're a reality TV addict then you shouldn't have any problems with the show format. Personally it's fun but Charlie's (one of the contestant) accent just kills my mood.
If you don't know what it's all about, well, it's a group of selected people from all over UK living together in a house and each week, they will nominate some people for eviction, and the public will decide who gets the boot outta the house.
Sounds boring?
Well not really. The housemates fight a lot. Foul languages are not censored. There's love triangles. Couple years ago some housemates had sex under the duvets. And there's the racism bullying.
Still not convinced?
Either way when you're here you'd be watching it =)

Curtain call
The Liverpool Odyssey is coming to an end. I don't want to go home. I'm not ready. How bittersweet it is to spend the next 12 days oggling at horrible journals and senseless critical analysis. But put those aside and you'll see why life in Liverpool has been splendid!.
Fabulous tablemates. Eling, Sharon & Xiao Ren, thanks for everything!

Sex?!
In Zoe's seminar today we were discussing about the effects of reality TV shows on the contestants, and I figured, well, if I did get voted out I'll be sad. So I said one word "sad" which we Malaysians pronounce it "sed"
But Zoe somehow heard "sex". Apparently the British emphasizes the "A", so "sad" becomes "saad". Okay at least I won't be embarrass myself in public.

My mama said
#1. Don't take your sandals to UK. Your feet will freeze, sport shoes are easier to walk in.
Wrong. The weather isn't as cold as everyone thought so I'm searching high and low for some cheap shoes.
#2. Pack more T-shirts with long sleeve. Forget all your spaghetti straps - it's too cold.
Look at my coursemates - they're wearing that wat! So I'm itching to buy more of it.
#3. Don't bring the can opener, it'll make your luggage even heavier.
Now I have 3 cans of Campbell chicken soup and no can opener! ARGH!!
#4. Your school bag is too small for you to bring along, take your father's travelling bag.
Father's bag not nice enough so I bought a new one.
#5. Stop converting the prices, otherwise you won't eat at all.
Now I'm buying and eating too much unnecessary food. I'm thinking Cornish ice cream (1 pound), Smarties and toffee cookies (1 pound for 2 I think), chilli corn carn (1 pound also). It's 5 ringgit and 80 cents for each btw =)
#6. Buy some dresses if you like. There are nices ones you can't get here.
Yes mommy. I bought 3 dresses so far. After converting to ringgit I feel like shooting myself.

Boost
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. August will be hell, but I'll make it back. It's not my first time. Cliche quote I know, but sometimes it's the simplest of quotes which describes you best. The last 2 semesters in Advanced Diploma opened the eyes of those who go by the "No pain, No gain" quote. The 3 month internship shows how little you know about the real world. It's a dog eat dog world out there.
The strong hearted survives. The weak ones barely scrapes through but they'll get there. The average ones either hope they'll stay put, go up and pray not to slip down the ladder. Sometimes all you need is luck, sometimes it's brains, usually it's because of your own determination and other times you're just plain unlucky. As for me, I'm trying to live the western university life you see so much in movies.

Bleary evenings
Weather forecast: cloudy
Yesterday's weather forecast: Rain
Remember the 2pence I donated to the blind musician? Yeah, this is his dog
Downtown Liverpool
Some buildings
Colorful SuperLamBanana. [I'll show you the giant one next time]
He overlooks the town. I think he owns it =P
Seagulls. Sometimes they walk by you, sometimes they walk with you and other times they fly blindly into you
The other day's weather forecast: Rain
