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!! ^^

Home Sweet Home!
Last night was a tiring night. Early at night at 10pm, Howard and I went to airport to wait for my Mummy who arrived LCCT from Gold Coast at 4am in the morning then 2 of us took the morning flight at 7.15am to come back to Sandakan.
During 6 hours in airport, what were we doing? We just ordered a drink in the Coffee Bean and online. The line is not considered sux but it is quite slow and some programmes are blocked and are not allowed to access. HUH! The whole airport shares the same line! Gosh~~
At 3am, stomach was calling for food. We walked around the airport, doing some window shopping (imagine all the shops are closed and we were still there wandering) and we came to a fast food restaurant, named Mary Brown. We ordered a meal and ate while waiting for Mummy.
Clock struck 4 and the announcement of the arrival of the flight was made so we quickly rushed to the international arrival hall. We waited for 30mins then only I saw my Mummy.. I am so so so happy to see as I have not seen her for couples of months. After checking-in for Sandakan flight, we went for a drink.
Finally we reached home after 3 hours on the plane. She bought many things for us - food, clothes, snacks, accessories. I even got a camera from my cousin, Phin-jia. Good! I can take lots of nice photos in UK! Happy! Again, a happy moment was that I can eat homecooked meals. Wow, another good thing is that I no need to do so many household chores. =X Haha..
Left 2 more weeks then I will fly to UK, so there is still lots of things to prepare before going to UK. I have to make good use of the remaining days to finish everything before leaving. ^^
I can't wait to fly to UK to meet new people, to adapt new environment, to start a new life! Wish me Good Luck and hope everything goes on smoothly!

Friends!
As I have mentioned before, I went to KL for my visa application but of course, also trying to meet up with my friends before leaving to UK.
I have spent approximately 3 weeks in KL and I am going back to Sandakan on 24th August with my mum. I really appreciate the times with my friends over here, no matter HELP friends or my secondary school friends. They are meaningful to me! I sure will miss them when I go to UK!
I am very grateful because during my weeks in KL, I tended to attend Cassandra's and Celine's birthday parties where I can meet up and gather with my HELP - Business friends again. Howard and I went out with Ivy and Richard too, to have a movie, dinner, shopping etc. It was another great moment and meaningful memories for me! Besides, Howard and I also got to meet with Kenny and Nicole last week in KLCC, and also Addy.
For sure, I won't forget about my gang of secondary school friends. I went to Sunway to meet with Shui Yen, Keit, OJJ, Cloud! We sang in RedBox for the whole evening. That was great!
Of course, I am very glad that among all the events, my Hubby, Howard was with me all the times, no matter when and where. It touched me and he really cares for me every minutes, every seconds. He is trying his best to bring me to any places I want to go before I go back to Sandakan even his final exam is coming soon. He always said that he is ok with that, asking me not to worry. Thank him very much!!!
My beloved friends, I will miss you all when I go to UK! We might be less contact but that doesn't mean that I don't care about you all anymore! You all are meaningful to me! I am very glad to have friends like you all. Do keep in touch! Love and miss you all!!! You all know who you are although some of them I didn't mention here!
Howard, I will definitely love and miss you! Take care yourself!
