The Very First Time in UK....

Had my very first presentation since I stepped in UK, all I could say is... wow, nervous! Firstly, it was the first time for me to speak in front of my coursemates, which I've never done this before. Secondly, I'd been putting my best effort to present my thoughts to my lecturer by using my Malaysian-Broken-Style English.

I have no idea that I finally got the first runner-up for this presentation session, as my content was extremely simply and rough one. Well I think that's the main reason I got first runner-up, perhaps. :D I expected other groups would be better than mine as they presented their point of views much better than me.

Grabbed the chance to take photo with Philip, yeah~ as usual, he was kinda easy-going and friendly one...
My chocolate "Trophy" and our group's outcome.

Seriously, he looks funny and my face is getting rounder and rounder T.T

Bundles of thank to my members who contributed the ideas during our discussion session.

XOXO

Blogging Contest: I'm loving United Kingdom

Been staying in the United Kingdom for quite awhile already, well, I still need some times to get used of here, regardless the lifestyle, culture, foods and etc.

For sure, there would be a lot discrepancies when comparing the culture in Malaysia with United Kingdom. Yup, I've observed some interesting facts in the United Kingdom that apparently couldn't be found in Malaysia.

One by one..... :D
Part 1: Weather

In my perspective, "Summer" should be something that would cause you sweat a lot, where you will see a lot people are wearing as less as they could. Well, that's how we did back in Malaysia as it has been having approximately 34 celsius for almost everyday.

But in UK, the Summer is not really that "Summer". On average, the temperature for everyday is about 14 celsius, which is almost halved of Malaysia's. And for sure, I was shivering cold most of the time once I stepped out of my dormitory.

And guess what, British people love sunshine a lot. There was a day which the weather was getting warmer due to the emergence of the sunshine. Instantly, you could see a lot British people walked around in Sheffield town in the hope of "absorbing" the sunshine. (No offense :P)


As you can see in the photo, they are enjoying running here and there under the sun. Yeah, they really love sun a lot!



Even the kids, they were brought by their parents to the Sheffield park to enjoy the sunny day.

Meanwhile, Malaysians who used to be exposed under the sun may choose other option: hiding under the trees. Just like the photo below:

That's how we did back in Malaysia, because we really hate the hot weather a lot.

Part 2: Food

In Malaysia, the foods are majority hot and spicy. For instance, one of my favourite foods back in Malaysia is nasi lemak, which the rice is to be eaten together with sambal (sort of spicy source), egg, peanuts and some anchovies.


The foods in the UK, hmmmm.... the first few components that come into my mind are oily, huge and taste weird.

Why?

I had my first fish and chips yesterday. It was huge and I had been so mean that I didn't want to share it with my friends. As a result, I couldn't finish it. Well of course, part of the reasons was also because the food was kind of greasy.

3.5o pounds for the fish and chips, huge and worth! :D

Part 3: Culture

Well, seriously no offense that the British people are open-minded. Why? Scroll down and see~

Accidentally captured this photo back in few days ago. Well I actually like this kind of culture which they are really showing that they love each other so much. Well in Malaysia, regardless Malay, Chinese or Indian, they are all conservative enough. If this scene (the photo above) is able to be seen in Malaysia, well I think it would be rated as "18sx".

I remember I heard a joke when I was in Kuala Lumpur. There was a pair of couples kissing at the KLCC park. Later, they were caught by police because of conducting "inappropriate" behaviour in front of public. Seriously, it was ridiculous!

Part 4: Miscellaneous

Spotted this special wall when I was heading back to my hostel. We were having our guessing session as we didn't know the purpose of the names were carved on the bricks.

My friend guessed that the wall is kind of cemetery memorial, but I think the wall is sort of sponsorship from the citizens. So, what do you think?

Last but not least, it's about pigeon. What so special about it? Well, let me explain...

The pigeons are quite chubby actually. I don't know why the pigeons in Malaysia are quite skinny actually. Well the main reason I think is that, the foods in UK are super nutrition. :D

Alright, that's all about the United Kingdom. And I'm gradually loving this lovely country from now on.

More to explore! :)

Here I am, Sheffield!

What do you think?

Watched "She's out of my league" just now, it is a typical romantic comedy. Well, I was bored by most of the scenes as I couldn't really understand what they were talking. (No subtitle provided). But overall, this movie is kinda funny and meaningful.

The movie is not the main point of my blog actually, intead, it is about the main character in the movie - Jay Baruchel.

He got a kinda amusing facial expression in the movie. Later, I found that he is quite alike with one of my friends.


Thought?

Alright, clues are given:

  1. Guy (of coz laaa)
  2. 23-25 years old
  3. Thin and Tall (about 185cm and 60kg)
  4. Smile like Jay Baruchel does (which I think quite alike)
  5. Last but not least, his sister is my buddy.

HAHAHAHAHA~~~ quite apparent if you are closed with me.

XOXO :D

Typhoon In Guar Chempedak

If I'm not mistaken, I fell asleep for just about one and half hour. Then, I was awaken and bothered the sound of the heavy rain. This was continued by the sound where something was collapsing.

The first thing that came into my mind, oh gosh... the puppies. I quickly ran to downstairs and open the door. Oh holy shit, the scene was extremely terrifying. Picture this, the branches of the tree fell down in front of my house and it was raining cats and dogs, in addition, my house was nearly flooded.

Without further delay, me and my sister took an umbrella and tended to walk to the puppies' nest, hoping that the 5 cuties would be okay... We managed to find 4 puppies in a short while with the aid of our torchlight. And still remaining the youngest one, we couldn't find it anywhere. My sister was about to give up to seek for it but I kept on running here and there around their nest... hoping that it would be alright.

Finally, god really blessed us a lot and I was able to find the youngest puppy under a small plant. It was shivering cold and if I gave up to seek for it just now, I think it would most probably be flooded by the water around it... Thanks God..

After all were being settled down, it was nearly 3am... Gosh, the rain was still carrying on.. I was extremely exhausted after the rescue action.

Guess what, during morning.. I was bothered by the conversation between my sister and my neighbours. Slightly, I could hear that most of the houses' in Guar Chempedak were damaged by this typhoon. Can't imagine how severe is that? Scroll down to view the photos...

Basically my neighbour's roof was collapsed by the big wind. And further going out to my town, Tenaga Nasional Berhad was damaged badly too, which resulted it couldn't operate like usual...

Phew, scary one... I personally experienced the power of natural disaster... It was really really terrifying and powerful.... Amitabha...


Dad's big day

I suppose it has been years that we didn't really celebrate dad's birthday, well you know, a lot things occured in my family and caused we couldn't really take the chance to celebrate with him.

The celebration was held at a seafood restaurant located somewhere at Tambun, precisely organised by me. Really thanked to my sisters who booked the table earlier, else I think we had to wait quite some long time in order to get a table for us.


I can see he is quite happy with the celebration, felt funny when he blew the candles... he was kinda shy of blowing it.. HAHA

Upnext, natural disaster attacked my town! Stay tunned~

The Lost

Ever since the little blackie went lost yesterday, we were quite upset as we really liked her a lot. God damn, I have totally no idea who stole her actually....but really, the little blackie were too adorable and differentiated as compared with the rest. Just wish that her new "owner" would put 101% effort into taking care of it.

It was like a dilemma whereby once I heard the adult doggies and also the puppies were barking continuously... they would really make me worry. Currently is 4.17am, I'm awaked by their abnormally barked just now. From what I've observed from the scene, I assumed that the adult doggies' barking were kind of protecting the little puppies, whereas the littles one were trying to learn how their parents barked. As usual, they were too innocent and adorable...

There are 4 puppies, sleeping in front of my house currently due to the heavy rain. I truly hope that the another one would not be "M.I.A" again....Seriously, I am bothered ever since we found that the little blackie went lost...*Sobbing*

Amitabha to those little puppies, hope they can be growing up and healthy as always.

Please feel free to visit my facebook to see more of their photos. :D

Silly but good idea

Boarded bus and headed back to my hometown this morning. As usual, I normally bought the bus ticket on the spot and could instantly board the bus.
Coincidently, I boarded the bus which I lost my digital camera few months ago. All right, stop the crap and let's move forward.
Well this time I didn't drop my personal belongings on the bus anymore, but it wasn't far better than my previous experience. Gosh, the bus was horribly cold simply due to the cover of the air-conditioner was taken or perhaps was spoiled or maybe it was stolen (which I don't think so).
Worse still, my attires were damn casual one: t- shirt, short pants with sandals. I didn't bring jacket all this while and hence, the consequence.... I was freaking cold!
I was shivering cold in the bus, hoping someone could rescue me but at last, I rescued myself.
How?

I requested rubbish from the foreign passenger who was sitting in front of me. At first he was really stunned and wondered why I requested rubbish from him. Eventually, he saw what I did and he smiled at me... giving me an expression of "Woah, you're briliant!" (Well, that's just what I'm guessing)

Another thing to mention, once I came out with this so called "good idea", the IBAB species who was also facing the same situation as mine also found that my idea actually worked! Consequently, she followed my step and then smiled at me, indicating that "Thanks a lot, I never thought of that good idea all this while. My brain was filled with najis all this while" (Well, that's still what I'm guessing only.. LMAO!)

And so, end of my story... nothing special actually and I really like to crap a lot... :D
