HOLLA!

Hey people!

Woaaa finally I am back on blogging after 1 and a half month!

I felt so sorry abandoning my bloggie for so long =(

Well anyway, I am back now! hees!

A little update here,

I am now at the Manchester, UK safe and sound!

I am doing my LLB Law 1st degree here =)

Let me share with you my journey to here and how it is when it all starts!

I've had experience flying with emirates so this time I would like to try flying with Qatar Airways, the 5-stars Economy Class =)

=)

I departed on the 15th of Sept, 8.30pm flight from KLIA to Doha for transit.

I was at Doha for freaking 8 hours! urgh, that was terrible because it was too long to wait.

well, luckily they served really nice food for teatime when I was flying from Doha to Manchester.

I love this hand roll!

Yummy =)

We have entered the Air force territory of UK.

Well, nice? =)

Look! It is Manchester the City from above! =D

Wheeeee! I have landed safely on the Manchester Airport! =)

I was taken to my University Hall of resident, Dalton Ellis Hall.

It is a catered hall, because I am not ready to cook! lol take the reason in, even though I know it sounds hilarious. You will seriously appreciate when it comes to exam period haha! They serve breakfast and dinner, lunch is excluded. I will take a picture of my breakfast soon to share here, I love breakfast!! It normally serves big English breakfast and besides we can also have cereals, toast, yogurt and refillable juices, tea, hot chocolate & coffee! Sounds great eh? hees =D

It is at Victoria Park, further down from my Uni, but the public transport is very convenient, there is a bus stop right outside my hall =) This area is more peaceful and quiet but it is not too far from the city center either. That's why I really love this place. You can enjoy the best of both sides =)

TADA! Here's my single bed =) the bed sheet & duvet set was purchased online from the Uni accomodation website and was readily placed in my room before I reached.

I am having an en-suite room, which is equipped with my own toilet and shower place.

I am quite satisfied with my room as it gives me the right enough space to move around and it is not too big. I tried to decorate my room in my way as much as possible to let me feel as contented as possible. Well, for me this is one of the main key factor that I am able to settle down myself in a quicker time. Living environment is very important to me and hence I hope to have a nice place to stay so that I always know that there is a place like home that I can go back to, or else unlike some of my friends who were unlucky to get a bad preference room of their choice and they ended up hating the place that they stay with all sort of complaints. well, thank God blessed =)

The Main Building of the University of Manchester =)

 So beautiful! It is the place where graduation will be held.

University scatters along the busiest route in europe, the Oxford Road.

Oh the weather here is good as in not so hot compare to back in Malaysia.

It is autumn and it is around 9-12 degree celcius during daytime and about 3-5 during night time. It is that cold even it is just autumn, so try imagine during the winter. I like now, just nice =)

However, sometimes it tends to drizzle and rain a little, so that's annoying when you are walking outside and the wind is so strong.

So here's the Chinatown in Manchester! =)

I always enjoy having chinese food here!

My China & HongKong Friends =)

Chicken Rice =)

hees this thing is useful for the pedestrians =)

in UK, pedestrians come first, so the cars will normally stop for you.

think back in Malaysia something like that will never be useful at all!!

So here's a quick sharing as I need to get my head back to the books, notes and cases as I am going to have seminar next monday and tmr I am going to Liverpool with my fellow international mates =) Can't wait! =D

I am here to send my regards to everyone back in Malaysia and to tell you that I am doing good here so far and I am happy with my life. I was suprised that I didn't miss home as much as I thought I would, well is it a good thing to say? lol or I felt bad when I was having too much fun and not being homesick at all hahaha! Maybe I am still excited about the new exploration so, we will see after a few months then, perhaps I will miss home badly that time hees.

Oh but I do truly miss Malaysia food! Roti Canai, Nasi Lemak & Yin yong! lol. They serve mostly hongkong & china's cuisines here or pakistanis/indian food which are quite different from the Malaysian chinese and indian food. hees I miss the cutural diversity back in my home country tho. =)

Well, I hope you enjoy reading the post and I will try my best to update as often as possible and hopefully nuffnang will not kick my out of its group hees as my blog has been stopped operating for more than a month.

Have a good night people! It is 3.30pm at Manchester! Hahas.

Love,

Sandra.

My Farewell Party!

Hey everyone!
Finally I am now having some of my own free time to blog again! :)
Thank you Fadah, drop by so often! now here's the update!

I had a real busy week and it will be even more busy for the coming one =S
Not just full with appointments on my health & check ups, but also pack with many gathering and hang out session to meet up with all my lovelies for the one last time before I get to meet them again next year =/
That's why, even though I am going to be physically and mentally exhausted but it will be all worth.

So here is a quick post of my Farewell Party which is held just 3 days ago.

I intended to keep it small that's why I didn't invite each and everyone but only the closest one to gather at my house. So I only had a small amount of friends about 16? :)
But I had a very big family, I meant both side, daddy and mummy. And all together excluding my friends, there would be about 70 of them. *gasped* lol

I was really busy socialling around with everyone and trying to keep as attentive as I could to all my guests. All my uncles and aunties came with all my cousins.

I could compose this post the day after the party with following wonderful photos, I have to thank you to my very charming photographer of the night, Shangyong Ivan, My cousin brother.

But sadly, I woke up this morning and realised that I hadn't take a single pic with him that night =( all the photos were from him and after scrolling down, you will agree with me that he did a real good job, capturing all the smile and laughter on everyone's faces, I hope you can feel the happiness around!

Party starts at around 6.30pm but ming yi and bryann came earlier to hang out with me :) thanks pastries!

My beloved Grandma!

She cooked potato steamed chicken for me today during lunch! yumm :)

My 2 big uncles came, bought me a Solvil Titus watch! :D

My cousin sisters with my nieces from my mum's side :)

They gave me a super big card like bigger than the A4 size lol!

3 Pink Lady :)

My beloved sisters, just celebrated out 10 years of friendship at the WaterChalets, PD.

Ms. Muffin, Ming Yi @ the Ghost gurl lol!

Thank you for everything dear! Glad that you are now friends with Sarah and all the DURIANS you had in your stomach! XD

Some of my aunties asked : "eh where's the girl who acted as the white ghost that day?"

then I said : " nehh, sitting at the last table eating durians! "

HAHAHAHA XD

The lovelies ones! :)

Thank you for taking time to come all the way here. I know Bryann lived quite far from cheras and also duckie from Subang. Last but not least, Mr. Penguine, been driving around up and down for everyone! Thanks :D *loves* I am so happy to have you guys with me :)

Of course, Ms. Sarah! the tallest and sexiest at the night.

But also having great temptation on DURIANS. XD

(she brought few back home too!) love you, dear :)

The gang :) Nice to have Sueann and Justin here as well!

Sueann, another durian queen of the night XD

Brother wit his cute2 gf :)

Cousin sister :)

Thanks for the book you bought me. I am sure it will be most useful. :D

Sis's surpised me! :D

Candid shot by Shangyong :) I like this haha :D

I was giving my thank you speech that time, expressing my gratitute and appreciation to both my parents :) without their support and love, I wouldn't be standing there that night.

Beloved younger sister, yingying :)

She surprised me with a cheesecake,

written on " HAPPY FAREWELL PARTY! "

Awww, how sweet of her! *love*

wHooooo! *blow*

Haha, GOTCHA! messing with the cheesecake when I was trying to take the candles out!

Thank you Daddy for helping me realising my dream since young.

I am always his little Princess :)

He is a very understanding dad, not like the others. I have been my rebellious period and he didn't educate us like other parents using the traditional way. when it comes to conflicts, discussions are allowed, so that we normally talk and understand how each other think, not shouting and yelling like giving orders to your children. But of course, that is my independent case which I respect the freedom and space given so that I grow in a healthy way but not abuse it. That's why it works fine and good on me. :)

Thank you Mummy for making all these happened.

You care and love me with all hearts, and sometimes pampering me as well!

You are always worried whether I will be alright flying alone there, anyone there picking me up from the airport, helping with my luggages and of course my diet and health at there. She always makes sure I am well-fed with all balance and sufficient nutrients X) I love her!

My cutest, funniest beloved sis :)

We are 8 years in age differences. believe it or not? haha!

She is very loving, a very good companion to eat and shop! XD

My younger brother :)

18 this year and still growing up. hope that he could be more mature in a way.

and start loving the family like you are going to be the man.

The big uncle! :D

came up from Seremban all da way for me :) Thank you!

My 3rd Aunty, Shangyong's mum :)

I truly felt that she loves me like she loves her own daughter :)

I felt the sayang, thank you ku-ma! :D]

My very genius 10 years friend, Tee Jin.

Just came back from the States for holiday and currently doing his Engineering, on scholarships :)

More beautifully captured photos :)

They all together made me a white gold necklace.

I love this pic :)

2 shots by my cousin brother which I found them very beautifully snapped.

His Mum :)

His Dad.

Thank you shangyong again :D

I had a great time that night even though I was super busy like jumping from table to table :) This farewell party was a little more than a farewell. I called it the celebration of dream come true? :) Many may know or some might not know that to do law was a dream since young and now, finally I could say, My dream has come true. I am happy to have all my beloved ones around to celebrate this moment with me.

It wasn't easy for sure afterall efforts that have been put in and some that have been sacrificed. I finally made it through my destination and that will be a brand new chapter which I will have to start drawing and colouring it on my own.

By all hearts, I would share the shining moments with them, my family.

Learn to love your family before you learn to love anyone else. It is like a bond since we were borned. How could you know to love or treasure your partner when you couldn't even know how to love your family which you would be with everyday?

  Loving your family means giving them the best of it not the many of it.

Loving your family means give and take with your efforts.

Loving your family means you don't just take for granted but appreciate.

Loving your family means unconditional, not only when you need them because you know they will always be there for you.

I hope someday maybe he could read this or he could wake up from his mistake and stop taking his family for granted.
