Newcastle

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!!!
