Miserably Tortured

Hi readers,


So despite the post title, it was an extremely productive day today. I'm proud. :D

It was a day of the Site Engineering assessment thing for my assignment. Every one in groups of 4 are suppose to be using equipments provided and start cracking. LOL. Excuse my lameness. Anyways, we were suppose to do 1.levelling and 2. getting the area of a site (eg angles and stuff). For those who don't know, I'm a student in the Construction School of Reading Uni. So, this levelling and area counting is my life now. (For this year only I hope). 

Due to how time consuming doing each tasks was, we were given 3 hours to do only one for this week and the 2nd one, the week after next. And today, my teammates and I were doing levelling. It was brutal. Standing in the cold for 3 hours. A leather jacket with an extra hoodie on the inside was not the best choice of attire I reckoned. But I had to summit to fate because that was what I wore. I was shivering the whole time. I've got to get my winter coat from the dry cleaners. Been dragging it for 2 weeks now. OR, get more jackets!!! But alas, haven't got the money. So, get my now cleaned jackets it is.

There was a part where every student was tested on levelling the equipment that in an uneven state. OMG. I was extremely nervous because I could never manage to do that in a short period of time. However, I Praise The Lord because I did it quite quickly. Basically, what I had to do was get the bubble in the circle. Sounds like some kids game huh? It was no joke I tell you. It once took 4 clueless girls almost 5-10 minutes just turning the nobs around trying to get it levelled. 

Here an example. 


See the bubble in the circular thing and 2 nobs at the bottom?? There's actually 3 but it isn't shown here. A lot of skill is required. And most of all, LUCK!

It was a nightmare before BUT I DID IT!!! YAYYYY

Kudos for me!

What all first year students are going through. Me included.

After that torturous 3 hours of walking around a car park in the cold, a friend and I decided to go to Starbucks for a hot, well-earned drink. I had an eggnog latte which was amazing. Totally did the trick of warming me up. In the cafe, we saw another friend. So we shared table and talked. Mostly about the piles the assignments we have. 

Don't you just love the seasonal cups Starbucks have? (Picture also from google because too engrossed with something hot to take a picture just now)

After half an hour, it was off to the next class. Tiring. But, we had to go. During class, we got talked through another assignment. Yay. NOT. I was sooooo hungry! I keep hearing my stomach growling while the lecturer was talking. After class, I went to the Construction building and paid for a hoodie and went back to cook a hot meal. Totally worth the wait.

Anyways, I'm gonna stop now. Currently on a movie marathon about 'The Boy That Lived and He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named'. Know what movie it is? For those who've guessed it, HOORAH!! 10 POINTS FOR YOU! For those who haven't, what was your childhood like???!? IT'S HARRY POTTER! Gotta finish it soon to get starting with all the assignments.

Signing off! xoxo

Sleepless Night.

Good Morning guys! 

or should I say Good Night? It's 2 am here and 10 am back in Malaysia...

Oh God... I should really get some sleep now. BUT for some reasons unknown, I CANT! I think it's from the eggnog latte I had from just now. I'm so regretting it. T.T I need my sleep nowwwww!!!!!

But since I can't sleep, I'll blog. ;D PURE JOY RIGHT HERE. 

Lately, I've been super duper busy all because of the assignments from University. I seriously can't imagine how Year 2 would be like now that I've experienced First Year. It's has only been a month and a half here and already, I've done 2 or 3 online test and handed up a couple essays that range between 200-2000 words. I'm not even joking. Now, I have a law essay, construction essay, a math test, a whole bunch of technical drawings, a report on site engineering, a poster to draw and a debate all by winter break. OH MY GOODNESS. University is not a piece of cake people! But I enjoy the journey nonetheless. 

Don't even get me started on last week. IT WAS EXHAUSTING. An essay due Friday and a test on Thursday. Not the best combo. I actually pulled an all-nighter (my definition of an all-nighter anyways) and didn't get sleep until 6.30 in the morning. Got 3 hours of sleep and went to class. That was not ideal at all. I was nodding off in the middle of class!! (Stupefied RIGHT? I'd never do that!) *wink* HAHAHHAHA!

However, I did almost half my essay that night. ;D soooo, HARD WORK PAID OFF! And by Wednesday, I WAS FREE FROM ESSAY WRITING! For the week anyways. hehehe. On Wednesday though, I was busy studying for an online test I had to take. Took me a few hours to look through the book online and just scribbling notes on my notepad. Then when I did the test, all the things that I've written down didn't help one bit. Nahhh... I should give myself a lil' credit. It helped one bit. A very tiny bit. Better luck just by searching the answers from google. 

That being said, GO0GLE is the best answer provider a student can ask for. Fast and efficient. I'm sure all you fine people agree! 

Anyways, I'm gonna try to sleep now. Class starts at 9! Here are a few shameless selfies ;D . Till Next Time! xoxo

The type of hair I want but was WAY TOO expensive. Cost like £90 just to ombré it.

PS. Got addicted to Taylor Swift's Enchanted. OMG. The part where the old school radio effect starts and she sings 'please don't be in love with someone else'. AHHHHH *Melts* GO LISTEN TO IT!

Presents, Illness and FOOTBALL!!! #GGMU

HIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!

Whatsup peepo!!!!

So, I went to Manchester to visit my boyfriend to make it up to him for missing his actual birthday this coming Thursday. It's because I have classes!!!  Can't blame me for being a bad girlfriend now can you.

I was confused as what to get him for his birthday!! I had a side-gift planned about a month ago. It was sorta like a daily-message thing in a jar. Basically, I cut of 365 strips of of coloured paper and write 365 notes or messages roll each and every one up, and stuff them in a jar. :D
If you think cutting and rolling them up is a lot of work, think again. It's the writing messages part thats difficult. Trying to think of 365 short cute texts totally fried my brains. T.T HAHAHA! JOKING. But it was pretty time consuming. Took me about 3 weeks to actually finish the whole thing. But at the end, I was really proud of it. I even hand made the birthday card. Although NOT from scratch. I'm talented, but not quite. *conceited much* BUT! Other than the base of the card, I practically designed the whole thing. I didn't take any pictures, but once dear boyfie opens it up, I'm gonna post it to the whole world to see! I mean, buying a card and just giving it to him would be WAYYYY easier and it is the thought that counts. However, there's just an extra feel to it if it's personally made. Don't you think?

Other than that, I got him one more gift that I had to refund because he ordered it online the day I bought it. Such luck. URGHHH.. Now I have no clue what to get him. So, on the day I went to Manchester, I bought him his favourite snack, Pocky and some strawberry milk from an Asian store in town. Hope he likes it. Now, all I have to do is get him a gift within my budget. #poorunistudent

Anyway, the weekend in Manchester was great. All except the fact that I was sitting at the desk trying to finish my essay. T.T OH. And that my boyfriend got food poisoning after we had lunch on Saturday.
He just could not stop puking at night. And me being an idiot, I JUST DIDN'T WHAT TO DO. Other than cooking some porridge and a couple of dishes the next day, I was just trying my best to make him feel better. Hope he gets well soon. I absolutely hate it when people get sick and you have no clue what to do. I didn't sleep until it was 4.30am and he was awake until 5am.

So on Sunday, he got a little better. Haven't really recovered but better. Which was great! And the winning of Manchester United against Arsenal definitely got him way much better! It was such a nerve-wracking match! OMG! We were sitting there hoping Arsenal doesn't score anything after the header by RVP.

After that, I took the train back to little ol' Reading. When I got back, I told myself that I really really have to finish my essay. And so after a whole lot of cornflakes and procrastination, I finally started to do work at 2am. I didn't stop until it was 6.30 in the morning. I was soooo tired when i got to class. But on the bright side, essay almost done! weeeeee! Just a few more touches and I'm free!!! Until the next one comes. T.T

So, I'm gonna stop now and go take a power nap. Here are some picture while I was procrastination during the weekend.

Till next time! xoxoxo


PS. Just want to wish my baby brother a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Even though SPM is still on-going, Wish you all the best and good luck for everything. I still owe you your SAO Novel which I don't know where to look for. I'll definitely get you the novel! 


Lunch before the food-poisoning

Halloween 2013


HEY YA!!!

So, sorry that I haven't been updating lately. I have no clue why I've been so busy . But let me tell you this. University life is just as I thought. It's tough. I've got to get my game on now. No more fooling around with Autumn term coming to an end.

I too need to apologise for not posting up the Bruno Mars video up in my blog, it's just that I have no clue how to do it. TEACH ME PLEASEEEEE!!! Thank you in advance.

Anyways, how was your Halloween? Did you guys have fun?? Dressed up as something scary? LOL.
Let me give you an update on my Halloween. On Thursday evening, my cousin came up from London just to go to a Halloween party with me. She literally had to rush all the way after work. *Bless her*
At about 8.50pm, I was waiting at the train station for her royal highness to reach Reading. It was quite funny because her train was suppose to be here at about 8.40 but got delayed for some reason. So, me being impatient as always, was texting her asking why isn't she here yet. Then she texted beck saying she doesn't know why and got a little nervous. I texted her back that maybe she already passed Reading. Then she got really panicked. HAHAHAHA. I was standing at the train station laughing in silence like an idiot. And when I looked up from my phone, I was shocked. It was a guy with blood on his forehead and face that looked like gun-shot wounds. LOLOLOL It was so silly of me, as Halloween wasn't really celebrated in Malaysia, I wasn't used to people looking so scary.

After standing for sometime, my cousin finally reached Reading. We got on a cab instead of a bus because it rained extremely heavily and got back to my hall. By that time it was about 9.05pm. We threw out stuff on the bed and started getting ready as we are going out at 10pm.

For those who haven't seen my instagram, I dressed up as Wednesday Addams. It was an extremely easy character to dress up as her because all I needed was a pinafore-like dress and a pale white face. I added a few more touches to make it a bit more dramatic, while my cousin went as a vampire. It was a pity because I couldn't help her get fangs. But we looked scary anyways. Boyfriend went partying as well up north and dressed up as Wally. SUPER CUTE. <3<3<3

After getting ready, it was right on time. And so, we went down to meet my friend and her flatmates to go to a club to party. It was good fun. We finished at about 2am as we have classes at 10 in the morning. But when we get back, Joey (cousin) and I got really hungry and cooked udon as supper. Then shower and movie. I asked her to watch the Chinese movie called 'The Stolen Years' or 被偷走的那五年. A quarter through the movie, she fell asleep. By then, it was already 4.30 am. BUT, she did watch it the day after. And she agreed that it was UH-MAIZE-ZING. So, to those who haven't watched it yet. GO!!! YOU WON'T REGRET IT! Just so you lazy people are too lazy to look for it, here is the link for it!

I'm gonna just stop right here now and show you pictures from Halloween. Can't wait for next year!

Till next time!!! xoxoxoxo.






How I looked. I was scared of myself while putting on the finishing touches. LOL.


Close up!



Cousin and I. Doesn't she look good?!



Me, Joey and my friend.

IS HER ^^^^ FACE PAINTING AWESOME OR WHAT?!?!
