Malaysia

Hmmph, so I am back in my Tanah Air. Funny, I don't really crave for local delicacies. I actually miss London. The cool air, I never sweat whenever I jog, just put on my shades and jog. However, in Malaysia, I run out of steam after a quick 15minutes jog or a 20 minutes badminton singles game. Malaysia still has the best food to offer, the best supper you can get in town. Do contact me if anyone of you are free for a chat, I want to catch up with all my friends before I leave for UK on the 1st of August (only a month to go now ). Oh and please, if you guys want to play futsal I am always geared with my kits :) It has been family, basketball, badminton, friends and swimming so far. I think I'm getting older(wiser), I do not like to go out late at night any more. PS: I still love sports.

finisheddddddd... !!!! n back...

So the last paper felt like yesterday, it still feels like the exam just zoomed by. N now, I'm home, like home home : ) Transfer Processes 2 was okay, in fact it was pretty good everyone had a smile on them ( maybe because it was the end that's why. ) So we all had drinks in the union after that, sending a few of my very close buddies away because they were doing student exchange. It is gonna be pretty different next year but I am sure I will still manage nevertheless. I had a Chemical Engineering Society meeting after which I thought was a blast because we manage to get a few goals down and the dinner was impeccable thanks to my POM lecturer Joao Cabral who has a penthouse suite overlooking London Eye, V n A, Canary Wharf ... etc.. M so glad I am finished with exams and I have had a very very nice time in Stratford -upon-Avon and Cafe Forum ( always ). Will update more ! Just had indon mee , hokkien mee / bihun / kway teow , fried chicken.... n I'm feasting on fruits...

Last one ...

It was a dreadful day. It was a dreadful paper, questions were unbelievably tough. ( all nods to Electrochem) Well it was not like I could do half a paper. I could do bits where it was worth 1 or 2 marks but all the questions which carried >4 marks. I just well, left if blank practically. The last minute adrenaline rush to actually memorize everything did not help. Industrial Chemistry is a failure. Full Stop. Had some pastries given to me by Tieng just now. It made me realise how much I love pastries and how much i miss them ! Well, I've got a favourite pastry for a long time now ( only close friends knows) and I declare pastry as one of the most sought after food by HEHN ! One last hurdle, last one, a final one, then I am done. End of 2nd Year.

Two ....

Two more papers left, the very last two but the toughest two I reckon. Industrial Chemistry has always been tough, and with the days of freedoms looming, it does not make my life any easier. The very last subject, Transfer processes 2, a paper all chemical engineers must have knowledge to; a combination of fluid mechanics, heat transfer and separation processes. A must know indeed. The Crepe Ming and Tieng made me : ) My uber cool noodles with LOADS of vegetables.. Me and the King and I ticket Us at the entrance of Royal Albert Hall My very very very messy room with piles of papers everywhere Oh, I am so geeky right now. Went to Royal Albert Hall to watch the King and I just now. I must say I enjoyed the grand Royal Albert Hall (opened in 1871) itself more than the show. I am feeling very lonely now, no idea why, it just felt as though my life is empty, not motivated to study any more. That is why I am blogging, I had to talk to someone, and thank god I have this 'online diary'...

Final three ...

Says ke lun's nick, tree down tree to go. It feels like it is taking forever to end ! However, I have no complains how my exams are tailored in such a way it allows your brain to rest, maybe rest too much then get yourself up and motivate yourself to start all over again for the next subject. For the start, I've procrastinated almost the whole day now ! Right after Thermodynamics 2, went for my 'regular' swim and heading back for a well deserved pizza ! Oh wait, and my curry noodles. I'm being such a girl now, exercising and replacing them with heaty food is not making my complexion any better: ( Mummy says the fruits you take everyday takes time to fix your complexion, it does not happen overnight. Anyhow, been stuck in front of my computer, checking news headlines: from sports right up till business news, talked to my family and decided I should blog before I head off to study Process Dynamics and Control. Surprisingly those tasks took me 5 hours to complete and I...

Exams !! 2nd year final exams beckons !

It has been awhile since I last updated this blog of mine. I have been revising/studying hard for the past month thanks to the lack of attention during lectures throughout the academic year; was dozing away most of the time. 2nd year is way tougher than 1st year, more interesting but it is not interesting anymore if you do not get good results for your exams. I applied almost the same strategy in studying as last year, except I took out movies and replaced them with jogs. The weather is so hot and my room is stuffy as ever. Math will lead the other subjects and it will come to an end in 20 days. Enough said. Embrace it.
