    Just Finished My Major Project, Exhausted & Recovering

    Just Finished My Major Project, Exhausted & Recovering – It’d been a while since I’ve write something personally, nor I’ve updated my blog. No I am not shutting off this blog, or abandoning it. This is a place a where I crap and keep whatever good happens in my life. A place to scream and show off! Now, I seriously can scream, ‘IT’S OVER NOW!!!!’. No more assignment, I’ve just completed everything yesterday, except there will be a presentation on this coming Thursday, but there’s nothing much to worry about as the hardwork is over right now.

    I do like interior design, but then the process of acquiring a certificate for this skill was really tiring. It was a two months long of tiring days and nights, lacking sleep and entertainment where my mind was just fully focusing on the work. I don’t really know how to juggle well between work and play yet as it’s all work and super less play for me for the past month! Perhaps the mind was just thinking, ‘Faster finish this and do something else!’.

    Initially, before coming to the UK, I thought it would be easy for final year as I’ve done a similar thing in Malaysia during the diploma time, but then I was quite wrong. It’s doing the same thing over again, except with extra bit of upgrade in your work and I can say it’s lack of the fresh new thing to learn about. Well, at least I learned the way of interior design here, and some new skill, and also experience the UK education. To be honest with you, I find that one would acquire more skill in Malaysia than in the UK. In UK, you might learn the creative process and the independent, but in Malaysia it’s more about the skill to survive and work. So, education in Malaysia is quite good in my opinion.

    Nevertheless, cutting off the crap, my assignment is now over. It’s time to plan for the next stage of life and also to plan for the coming free days left in the UK! What do you suggest I should do during my free days?

    The art of a mess in the room! There’s time that I’ve been in the flat for a week and never step out of the building, but I was OK with that as long as there’s food and Internet. =D

  • My Hostel Room In Newcastle @ Lovaine Flats

    My Hostel Room In Newcastle @ Lovaine Flats

    My Hostel Room In Newcastle @ Lovaine Flats – In Malaysia, flat is like low-cost flat where you it’s a place to stay with a small living room and perhaps 1/2 room. Sounds, low cost, but in the UK, flat actually means apartment and the hostel I am living right now is call the Lovaine Flats. Yeah. Guess what, it’s actually the cheapest hostel in Northumbria University at £85/week and I don’t get my own bathroom.
    Befre. Empty room, with no bedding.
    Room is quite OK, location-wise is very good too which is very near to the city, the library and the gym, what’s not OK is there’s only one shower, and one WC! Oh my god, there’s 5-7 rooms in a flat and imagine you are having a stomachache and he/she is having a stomachache at the same time. Die lo.
    Kitchen for 5.
    OK, that’s me, in a room with stuff now.
    My workstation in the UK. I miss my big monitor screen and an awesome sound system back home.
    I don’t mind the room being small, because it’s bigger than the one I stayed in Taylor’s University, I don’t mind the room is not beautifully decorated because I have my own way to make it comfortable. Kitchen is OK, just lack of a good common area. Well, the dining chairs and table are definitely the place for me and the rest of the flatmate to chill. I’ve seen nicer one here but they are way more than mine at over £100/week. So I was thinking, since it’s just a place to sleep, why not save the extra pounds for something else, travel, perhaps?
  • First Steamboat At Lovaine Hall

    First Steamboat At Lovaine Hall

    First Steamboat At Lovaine Hall – I believe there’s more steamboat to come, since it’s so easy to prepare by just buying the ingredients from Chinatown, divide the money, invite people and eat. So, this is my first steamboat at Lovaine Hall, 4th floor’s AA5 kitchen to be specific which happened a month ago.
    At just about £6 per person, I had a awesome dinner that give me a feeling of home. Happy, fun, bloated, and shiokness.
    Muahahahahahahahahahahaha.
