Nottingham, United Kingdom

20/9/12 14 hours later, I have finally arrived here at UK. It was a long and tiring journey, but the view from the plane window was worth it, literally had me off my seats. It has been 10 years since I last sat on a plane, long forgotten how it felt like to travel on a plane. Well, it's cold here, one of the reasons I like it here. Back in Malaysia, it's HOT, HOT & HOT all year long. Sometimes the weather can be so unpredictable. At one point, it would be sunny, and then it will suddenly start to drizzle and rain the whole day, mood-killer. And the fact that my jacket is not waterproof, I would be    wet by the time I enter the lecture hall. Will have to find myself either a raincoat or an umbrella before I get sick from the cold. Me & Andy in front of the Faculty of Engineering, where most of our lectures would take place Have been walking around alot lately. No car means more walking. The campus is huge. Nottingham University has 3 campuse...

Gone In September

Come September I'll be Gone... Gone... Gone... By the time this post is out, I'll be on the plane to UK, leaving Malaysia, leaving my family and friends, leaving the warmth of my home. Although I will be there only for less than a year, I'm sure time will pass slowly when I'm missing home. I will: get used to the cold and dry climate over there(lips will crack, skin will peel, hopefully less pimple) meet many other people live independently and learn to take care of myself learn to be more mindful of my actions learn to be more organised learn to be a stronger and tougher person be a better chef : þ gain invaluable experiences gain weight?(I'm okay with my weight and size, probably a little bigger would be better) update my blog often(I'll try...) and the list goes on and on. . . GOODBYE MALAYSIA! HELLO UNITED KINDGOM : ) Oh BTW, HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY TO MYSELF~!

Internship

Image
(30/8/12) 3 months has indeed passed so fast, my internship at Techkem has finally ended. I am glad that I can finally stay at home and rot(okay maybe I don't...), but part of me is not willing to leave the office that I have been comfortable with for the past 3 months. Met and finally got to know my awesome colleagues even more and I have to leave already. Life is always like that, ain't it? Me, Avalyn, Jess. Taken at the Coca-Cola Bottlers Malaysia(CCBM),  Bandar Enstek, Nilai. Me and Zaki inspecting a pressure vessel at Kelantan. My internship here at Techkem has been a wonderful experience(if you mean sitting at the office most of the time doing some typing, facebook, 9gag...). If I'm not at the office, I would be at the plant sites conducting visits, or I would be outside running some errands. No doubt I have learnt a thing or two during my internship. Everybody have been saying to enjoy my study life while I can, because once we start worki...
