On the 23rd of January 2007, at 11.04 pm (UK time), I finally saw snow. The feeling that I had when I looked out the window and saw the snow flakes was indescribable. It wasn’t such a bad day after all.

Got back my results for Analytics Techniques (in other words,Math) yesterday. It was just as I had expected - terrible. I don’t feel surprised I got such results,because I was too confident the day before the test and just looked through it very fast. I remember feeling really tired and stressed out at the time because of the Gears,Clutches and Fatigue Analysis test coming up the day after Math. I kept concentrating on that test because I thought it was going to be very difficult that I sort of ignored Maths. Turns out I was completely wrong.

Anyway,it has taught me a lesson. I have decided to work hard through out these 4/5 months before my finals and prove to myself that I can do it. I said "myself" because it seems that the only person who had no confidence in me is ME.

By the way, if you remember, I mentioned in a post some time ago that I have some things that I would like to change about my personality. I have been able to do it little by little,and I am very proud of myself in that aspect. Hehe.

That’s all. Thanks for reading. tata..

I am looking forward to the start of the second term of my second year,because my housemates will be back and I would not have to feel lonely anymore. At the same time, I don’t want to lose the freedom that I have in my flat now. I can leave my room door wide open the entire day without worrying that someone might walk pass and look into my room. I don’t know why I have trouble with that. The thing I don’t like most is when I know people can see ME. When they can see everything I am doing,listen to the songs I am listening to,things like that. I guess it’s just me being myself when I am in my room. I feel as if my room is the place where I can let go of everything. Tears,laughter,fatigue,anger,and it is the place where I can do ANYTHING that I like. I don’t need to bother if my room get messy,but at the same time,I am the one who gets to decide when it is messy and when it isn’t. A place where I am the one in control. Where I can eat on the bed if I please(which I don’t),where I can move stuff around at anytime,where I can just sit and look out of the window at the beautiful scenery and think about anything I like.

I know it is weird reading this. And this is one of the reasons why I write in a blog too. Because I can write whatever I want. Haha.

Nope it wasn’t me who got a hair cut,but I was the hair-cutter. Yeah. Haha. It was fun though,the first time I ever tried giving someone a hair cut. Well judge for yourself. Sorry we forgot to take a picture of his hair before I cut it. But anyway trust me,it was LONG. And thick. And messy. Hahaha. Criticising him. Oh yes, one more thing. To all who don’t know, Tatlee and I are just friends. Nothing more. Oh yes, we have a different sort of relationship now,more than friends, which is Hairdresser and Hairdressee..wakaka.

It’s been so long since I last posted anything here. Guess there was just nothing much to tell about. Life has been the same,and yet different. Life isn’t beautiful,yet it isn’t horrible.Though there are people who make life miserable at times, I still thank God that there are also people who make life worth living.

The first term of my second year studyin Mechanical Engineering started on the 2nd of October and finished on the 15th of December 2006. Then came the one-month holiday and the first week was fine. But then at the start of the second week(Christmas week),it was quite terrible because one of my friends left for Cardiff and hence made me the only living person on the 3rd floor (if not the whole) of Block 11 Maple Bank. On the third week,things started to get more exciting. I went to Leeds and then came back to Birmingham and went on to London the next day.

Leeds was wonderful. Though there wasn’t anything MUCH much to see in Leeds,the family I stayed with there was wonderful. They really made me feel at home and I was more relaxed than I have ever been since coming to the UK. On the last day I was in Leeds,they decided to take me to York which was about one hour fifteen minutes drive from Leeds. I thoroughly enjoyed myself there as there were ever so many old buildings and architecture there which fascinated me.

I couldn’t really say the same about London. In a way the trip to London was just a tiny bit disappointing. However I must say I am glad that I had the chance to see London in front of my eyes. We went to the London Eye,London Bridge (it hasn’t fallen down yet),Big Ben,Westminster Abbey,Buckingham Palace,St James’ Park,Chinatown,Oxford Street,Trafalgar Square(by accident),Selfridges,Harrods,and probably some other places which I forgot. Anyway when I say we went to these places,we didn’t actually enter any of them. Of course we entered places like Chinatown,Oxford St,Selfridges,Trafalgar Square,and Harrods. But we didn’t enter places which needed us to pay a fare. We saved that for another time.

At night Tat and I went to the London Eye and London Bridge to see the nightview. It was very nice. The part I liked the most was when we just sat down right outside the London Tower and chatted about stuff we never talked about. It’s amazing how much there is to know about someone. Even though we have known each other for 2 years now and have been considered as close friends for about a year,there are still things that he tells me about himself sometimes which totally catches me unawares. Plus with the scenic serene view of the London Bridge and aeroplanes flying by every single second(I AM SERIOUS) and the cool air, it was really an unforgettable experience.

Anyway,I was glad to be back in Birmingham. Glad that I chose to study in Birmingham and not London. One more week of holidays,which I shall try to fill up with studying Applied Mechanics because I am totally clueless about it due to unavoidable circumstances.

I am also starting to know myself much more now and finding some things which I really would like to change about my attitude towards people. Not that I am a terrible person now,I really doubt that I am,haha. But there are certain things which I really hope I would be able to change about myself to be a better person.

Missing my friends in Malaysia dearly,and seriously counting the days till I can see them again.

To one and all,Happy New Year and to Simimo,HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BEST FRIEND.
