Cries in a distance

This is another nice english song sang by JJ Lin after his "Now that she's gone' !! Feel free to listen to this song =)











Cries In A Distance - JJ Lin 林俊傑


Cries in a distance
Can’t stop the tremble
I’m just awaiting my turn
Hiding will never
Save me forever
The guns gonna get me for sure
Dear God I pray why won’t you be my friend
Come to me and take my hand
Like mama would say
Everything will be okay
CAUSE All I hear is 3 2 1
The scream from the guns
And then 1by1
No one gets to run
Someone’s dad or mom
Sister, brother and son
No…no…
CAUSE All I feel is 1 2 3
My tears start to bleed
Smell of roses on my feet
I feel sore…
I fall…
I call…

Merry X'mas !

First of all I would like to wish everyone

MERRY CHRISTMAS !!

This is the first time having Christmas alone and this drives my missing family feeling to another higher level TT.







Let's me update my recent activities.
I have been coming back from a 8-day-trip 4 days ago and just had the time to update my blog. During this holiday trip, we have spent 3 days in Ireland. Overall, in Ireland, we visited Dublin city,Guinness storehouse and joined a day tour to Wicklow and Glendalough.





The Temple Bar



At Wicklow with astonishing lake view


After that, we reached Edinburgh, Scotland on the 3rd day night. Then we joined another 3-day-trip to Highlands, Isle of Skye and Loch Ness. And finally, we went to Glasgow (a newly industrialized city in Scotland).
Edinburgh, a historical city with lots of old buildings



Loch Ness lake ... waiting for Nessie to appear =)




Last destination-- Glasgow, a city with lots of museums and art galleries

In short, thanks my friends in UK celebrating my 20th birthday with me and of course never forgetting who wished me from far far away M'sia !!
Bye bye and take care everyone =)

Process is part of life.

Process- a series of continuous of actions done and feeling aroused directed to the end of certain circumstance.

I was inspired today. Do we really enjoy the process in achieving certain things? Did I enjoy any process? I asked myself.

In everyday life, do we enjoy our every bite in our mouth? Do we enjoy the time with friends? Do we enjoy the warmth given by our beloved one and appreciate every single done by others on us? Or we have ignored every one passing by our lives?

I have forgotten to enjoy every process happened around me. Forgot to enjoy the process of the exploration in a new city with friends, forgot the feeling of sitting in train, and forgot how I have struggled hard to achieve better results… I have missed the process of eating my meals, my chocolate coated digestive biscuits, my Mars mini rolls and my yog fruit digestives. In fact, I just simply filled my stomach with them.

Everything happens through a process. It doesn’t matter about the speed. And, I didn’t even enjoy with my heart.

Process is invisible whereas achievement and the results will be seen by people. So, why don’t we enjoy the invisible part where others can’t ?



Let’s enjoy the processes happen in our lives. :P

Happiness which can't be hidden ! =D

Joy to Lincoln on 6th of Dec 08

Joy to Lincoln ! My friend started to complaint me that I look like travelling in UK instead of studying in UK. Actually, the main AIM I come UK is to travel ! And so, I have spent my last saturday at Lincoln which is located one hour journey to the north of Nottingham. The weather is absolutely much more colder than at Nottingham although it's just one hour journey away from Nottingham. (I am totally worrying about the weather at Scotland for the coming week !! )

The largest Christmas Market in UK is the target of our trip to Lincoln and well as the people in UK too. So, Lincoln was crowded with visitors on that day. Going to the Christmas Market from the train station, we had to CLIMB a nearly 45 degree steep street in order to reach the caste where the market started at. Finally, we ended out trip by visiting Lincoln cathedral.

Here are the photos taken at Lincoln :


Lincoln High Street (same as Nottingham High Street )

The most enjoyed food--Christmas cake !! :P

something i miss..


After finishing lecture at Queen's Medical Centre today, I heard a familiar sound nearby the entrance of QMC. In my mind, PIANO pops out!! Yup ...it's from a piano. A girl was playing piano !! ( I was jumping up and down at that moment ! )
Aha..it has been 5 months I never touch my piano ( 2 months spent in BHP and 3 months in UK). Listening to the girl playing piano in QMC, my fingers move according to the rhythemic of the piece played. Oh my god...I really miss my piano.I miss Debussy's Arabesque, J.S Bach's preludes and fugues, Clementine's sonatinas ........ I really miss my PIANO !! I want to play my piano right now !! T_T

Alone but not lonely

Today is my first time going to city alone. I have planned to walk to city from Raleigh Park instead of taking 3pounds taking bus and so I did it. I used to walk unless I feel very tired. I love the moment while I step on every leaf on the way to city. Every single step walking alone let my mind to think clearer. I have been putting in too much of input into my mind these days. I totally need a rest for my brain. I really enjoyed walking alone but not feeling lonely.




And here, I am back from city safely! (but purse isn’t full anymore!! Hehe)

November--a 'pre-winter' month

It’s November!! Meaning …I am stepping into winter by enjoying the drop of temperature day by day!

Today is 11th of November! 5 days later, I can officially announce I have been staying in UK for 2 months. This week is my 8th week of my year 2 first semester and 4 weeks later, I will have my Christmas holidays for 3 weeks! (Time is flying~~)

Glance through my last week which was super hectic and busy. Matlab and simulink coursework were due on last Wednesday. Whole gang of Malaysian students burnt the midnight oil in doing the coursework just 2 days before submission.

On Monday night, whole gang was doing the programming of matlab from 8pm until the next day of 4am. Then, Tuesday night, whole gang again was starting to read and think the question. And again, all of us were doing it until 2am. So, I just had 8 hours slept out of 48 hours.Wednesday, after submitting two coursework, I had a briefing for Nottingham Malaysian games; lab was on Thursday and Friday, I have to start with cooking 200+ burgers. And again, I didn’t sleep for the night.

Saturday,8th of November, the Nottingham Malaysian games was held in university. As a volunteer of netball, I have to be the time keeper or score keeper for the netball matches. Dear guys,where is netball court? Indoor(sport complex) or outdoor ? Booo…it’s at outdoor. OMG… that day was a rainy day!I have been wearing 4 layers on my body with a pair of gloves on that day, but I still feel shivering! In addition,I just wanna share that 8th of November is a truly memorable day. The selling 800 burgers project was a lifetime experience for me. The moments we felt excited due to not gaining a good selling, squeezing our brain to selling them, asking people buying around sport complex, receiving weird expression and looking down expression from others and finally selling out all the burgers were another experience. It might be a failure in not earning any single pound, but it is an invaluable experience!

November, is another busy month for lab reports and coursework. I will try my best to love this month!
