On 12th Sept, I left Malaysia and boarded on Emirates to Newcastle where I have to spend my one whole year there. Before I left, I was so touched as HELP business gangs have come to airport to meet me. Thank you guys!!!
Safely, My friends and I have reached Newcastle and we waited for Northumbria Meet & Greet teams to bring us back to Northumbria campus and our accommodation. We waited there for 1 1/2 hours to get on to the bus, but the journey to Northumbria University from airport is quite near, around 20m-30mins. 1 thing frustrated me was that they promised to give us complimentary simcard BUT they told us that the simcards have been distributed and no more left! Gosh!! I have to spend GBP14.65 to get a simcard to call home.
My room is very nice and I like it. It is kinda like a superior single room in hotel! haha.. The washroom is ensuited and the kitchen is amazing as everything is fully eqquipped. The TV provided is Plasma LCD and the coach is comfortable..Overall a word to describe my accommodation - It is COSY!!! =X
At night, Baby-jia and Errol drove to Newcastle to meet me and it took them 5 hours from London. The next morning, after enrolment, we met up and went for lunch and do some shoppings! Thanks Baby-jia for buying me lots of stuff and she is going to meet me soon! Besides, Dennis-kiu in Sunderland also wants to come and find me for dimsum! Wow..DIMSUM.. can't wait..I miss chinese food very much!!
For the 1st 2 days, we went to get our enrolment done and walked around our accommodation to get some food and household products. We explored many places included Chinatown and we are going to explore more.
It is time to prepare dinner.. gonna sleep early as tomorrow we need to go for induction. Will update soon..take care everyone..miss you all so much, especially my family and Howard. Love u guys!!!

Preparation to UK!
After I came back from KL, besides having nice homemade food from mum, I also have to start packing before it is too late.
I wrote down a checklist for myself and gosh..so many things I have to brin!g! Hopefully it won't overweight. This whole week I have been going to bank, supermarket just to buy the things that I have to bring to UK. Any unclear information, I have to call or email the relevant officer so that I can save some space for my luggage. I have 30kg only but my friends who booked via travel agent can get extra 10kg. Well for me, the more kg I have, the more things I will bring, so I gonna control myself..^^
I also have to book the flight tickets to KL for Daddy and Mummy. They are just sweet enough to accompany me to KL and will send me off in KLIA! Touching! OH, I have to book the Cititel for the room! Got to get it done by today!
Besides that, I just mugged myself inside the bedroom and sat in front of the computer. Really lazy to pack but I know I have to. So starting from today, I have to start!!
Pretty sad that I am not able to celebrate Mooncake Festival here with my family. But, my aunt is kind enough to make me a box of jelly mooncakes with 4 flavours - lime, herbal tea, dragonfruit and blueberry yogurt. They are not too sweet and they really taste good! Yummy!!! [thumbs up]
Okie dokie, it is my brunch time and later in the afternoon, I have to go out and buy some moisturiser cream, shampoo etc. Everybody ciao!! ^^
