Nottingham pharmacy-ing

phew~time flies...i've now spent 1 week in nottingham
firstly, i wanna annouce tat i managed to get the JPA scholarship which made me extremely excited when i knew i got it! thanks to my mom,who did the great job to seize the chance for me.

life in nottingham
8am : bangun pagi, gosok gigi, tak ada minum kopi, makan roti
9/10am : going to lecture
4pm : finish lecture
4-6 pm : lepak in library-read magazines,newpapers, revision also?
6pm : makan?
7-9pm :sports time
9-10pm : showering
10-1am: comp lab, study

generally is like tat lar..is quite leisure these few days, probably becoz tis is just the starting point..
when v wanna mention some classmate which v dont know the name, v will mention like tis:
for girls : "neh....那个戴眼镜,长头发的那个女子啦..."
for guys :"neh....那个没有戴眼镜,短头发的那个啦..."
altually in our class, most of the girl and boys looked like tis...then at the end of the topic,v still cant recall who is she mentioning..

i'm quite happy to found someone to playbasketball and swim wtih in nottingham.cos in our class, 80% is female,i think 90% out of the 80% enjoys shopping, dislike outdoor activities. i must fully utilise the sport complex when i'm free cos 1st year is consider more "free and easy" than year 2.
Last thursday when i played basketball at night, found tat it is quite cooling at night in nottingham..quickly inhaled a few "lungful" of fresh air...:0

our pharmacy course is a 2+2 program...so it wont make me feel bored of staying in a same environment for 4 years time..2 year will pass in a blink.we will turn out to be a profession in 4 years time which i consider is a short period. Also bcos tis is a 2+2 program, therefore v only have 2 batches in UNMC which i feel is a good thing.it is quite interesting to be known as junior in 1st year, senior in 2nd year, junior again when in uk 3rd year, senior again when in uk 4th year.

i have a stong feel tat tis is going to be a great lifetime experience for me(although stranded in nottin jungle)..
i shall study very hard, put in lot of effort for my pharmacy course and at the mean time enjoy doing what i like during free time.---study hard, play harder. perhaps main-main ubi berisi?

p/s:huichian, tat day i tried the broga 烧非洲鱼. fantastic taste..
next time will be broga 板面!
just knew tat there's many farms nearby UNMC in broga town-chicken farm, rabbit farm, fish ponds...many more, i forgot.

singapore trip

背包客必经--受困雨中

梦想正一步一步迈进...人生的第一次背包旅行就这样展开了!

旅行目的地:邻国新加坡
旅行天数 : 严格来说-2.5天
旅游伙伴 :黄秋琪
背包重量 :左算右算也不过5kg

.....day 1.....

所到之处:
-raffles place:clarke quay,asian civilisation museum,victoria theatre, the art hse of the old parliament,the old supreme court,singapore river
-ntu hostel,ntu adm

抵达jurong east mrt station.肚子超饿,随便去买了SD$2.00的面包来吃,因此而错过了传说中(听姐姐说)jurong east mrt station 好吃的meesiam...垂心 ><"

mrt 篇:

第一次搭mrt,花了将近15分钟来研究mrt station 的 paying system,路线等...
买票时,还莫名其妙, 不懂为什么明明是SD$1.50的票会变成 SD$2.50...原来是要附加SD$1.00的deposit...害我们研究了好久..><"讲是买票,不如讲是卖卡...进mrt 是用卡tap的...糊里糊涂就tap了一下,都不懂有没有scan到,还害我们担心了那短短30分钟的路程,结果还是顺利tap 了出回来...phew~
觉得新加坡的mrt很有system,很efficient -
malaysia 的putra lrt输在太短,太慢,station 设在不知所谓的地方;
star lrt 输在太慢,买票居然还不可以用纸钞,肮脏;
ktm , 简直输人家九条街....
发现:mrt 的escalator 都走到很快,新加坡人的步伐快?害我差点跟不上

自由行篇:

吃饱,计划去raffles places逛一逛再去boon lay mrt station 找佩雯,慧谦,劲奕他们。
蛮喜欢raffles place 这个地方的,raffles place的feel很不一样,走在街上,根本不像走在亚洲,就像置身于欧洲/澳洲。
发现原来新加坡也多了一股艺术气息,随随便便就可以看到一些艺术品在街上。
想象如果masjid jamek, klcc, bukit bintang,pavilion 那一带能变成这样...不用想象-impossible
结果两个傻婆在那一带玩了将近3个小时,拍了很多照片...最重要的是我想我们很享受当时的感觉,那种无拘无束,想去哪里就去哪里的感觉...
唯一的遗憾:没有dslr在手,很多很美的建筑物没办法完美拍摄...第二次垂心..><"


ntu篇:
晚上去meet他们 (从raffles place 又奔波回boon lay station,boon lay 其实就在jurong east 的后几站)
以为可以尝一尝什么在地美食,怎知道...晚餐就在mcdonald解决..><"
聚一聚,没想到还有10++, 20-- 的中学同学出来这次的聚会
晚上,决定到ntu的宿舍去squad.寄住在慧谦的房间;秋琪在kimberly的房squad
还蛮开心的-- -见识到ntu的宿舍生活,能住在那样的宿舍,是我的话,我会很开心
-很有大学生活的feel, 但是,教育学生用分数去换取住宿的资格,有点不健康 . 我觉得酱参加社团活动很假,很现实,人与人之间会产生互利(互相利用)关系
-半夜在tv lounge 谈天的那段时间,我是几怀念一下的,听到他们的大学故事,令我对自己的大学生涯有憧憬
-参观ntu adm..超有创意的建筑物,同时发现他们去了ntu,讲话很大声><", 在adm 讲话还有回音...hmm..在adm还巧遇志明--学警朋友
-蛮喜欢慧谦宿舍的厕所...有干净

警戒心过重篇:
我记得一进到慧谦的宿舍,就把本能他的门的两个锁上锁...谁知他讲不用锁,新加坡是low crime rate
半夜睡觉不用锁门,球鞋可以放门外,半夜可以去跑步
我有点惊讶,居然安全到这种地步...malaysia ?-impossible

睡觉篇:
慧谦一直嫌他的床很小,两个人睡时还特意占了床面的minimum area....结果是:两人中间有很大一块面积留给了空气睡,早上起来,两人不是手痛,就是睡眠不足....><"

.....day 2......

拉面篇:
早上起来,早餐于ntu canteen 9(经前晚的"精心"挑选) 后,道别ntu 的朋友.
回到表哥家,放下背包,前往chinatown! 寻找 多人推荐的汤圆...
在chinatown 兜勒又兜,还下埋雨...终于给我们找到那个卖汤圆的摊子! 但是好选不选,选那天休息?! 算,没有汤圆吃...
我:觉不觉得肚子有点饿?
琪:还好
我:可是我好像蛮饿leh...刚才有一间店....
琪:卖拉面的?
我:对!好像很好吃酱...
琪:刚才走过那个坐门口的人吃到好像很好吃酱!
(两人又开始很兴奋的走回头找那间拉面店,原来两人都注意到了那间店)

进去点了两碗看起来,听起来,感觉会不错的拉面.还假厉害地点了“加辣”
面还没端来时还在谈天的,面来了以后,都在静静吃面
--因为辣到....讲不出话


巧遇宋慧乔篇:
吃饱,我们从chinatown走到clarke quay,走到one fullerton 去看merlion,顺便看对岸的esplanade和singapore flier
路经sg river 有拍了不少百痴的照片,心想晚上的clarke quay 一定很美
走着走着,wuu...看见有一组人在拍戏.....再看清楚点,是韩国人在拍韩剧
逗留了一下,都不懂主角是谁..本来决定离开..突然扫到旁边有一个很像宋慧乔的人..
没错! 真的是她!还在我们10米不到的地方走来走去!
结果, 我们很开心的在那里逗留了约30分钟还不舍得走,期待会有什么掴巴掌,打架,翻台的镜头
很可惜,都是平平的剧情...偷拍了照片后便离开了...
想深一层,宋慧乔也是人一个,没有必要见到他就高兴成这个样,只是平时在电视上美美的人突然出现在面前,难免觉得不可思议
左三,褐衣者为宋慧乔

macam-macam org pun ada 篇:
走到merlion的地方,听琪讲了的有关新加坡风水的故事...
看merlion的地方很多人,刚巧有一班很兴奋在拍照的中国人,各式各样的pose 都有,都不懂他们想怎样
我们也拍了几张
本来很想过对岸的esplanade,city hall 走走的, 可是太累,取消念头
后来才知到原来bugis street 也在那里附近....遗憾没有过去,垂心 ><"
do u understand their pose? i tak faham
orchard road 篇:
搭mrt去orchard rd看看,
原来没什么好看的,尽是名牌店,不能获得琪和我的注意力
逗留了大概半小时便离开了
还记得那时是换我拿雨伞,琪拿三脚架--有觉得那么一点点地丢脸,因为拿着蓝色,样子有点老土的雨伞,还要走在orchard rd...
想深一层,也没什么好丢人的...就不过是一把伞,不要太在意别人的眼光
发现:shopping地带的escalator速度好像跟回malaysia的速度,是因为休闲逛街要relax的关系??
branded
night safari 篇:
草率吃过hotdog面包当晚餐,相当的不好吃(不禁怀念1902还是1901 的hotdog 面包)
搭mrt 换bus 去到night safari....新加坡巴士站都安排得那么systematic...很不错
到了night safari,琪显得非常兴奋,我想她大概最期待这个地方吧...
我觉得他好像玩的特别开心...
看show 时,我还蛮欣赏那个领导show的工作人员,她控制的相当不错,也有一定的幽默啦
尽管她的幽默将会是每天晚上,每个show都一样
看完show,琪还付钱跟了3种动物拍照---蛇,狸猫, 猫头鹰
很明显,跟蛇和照时琪在强颜欢笑,
我则很享受地为她和动物照相....

夜景篇:
晚上,JJ来接我们...
路经nus,决定上kent ridge park 看夜景..幸运的话,还可以看到偷情等的事情
那里是西部,我想傍晚来应该看得到日落吧...
这里的夜景还ok lor...因为有树叶阻挡了部分视线...
那里有一部坦克车,我们爬了上去,当然是拍照
半夜,约a mai 出来吃宵夜--我们到新加坡的美味第一餐

.....day 3.....

早上起来,外面正下雨
吃了早餐,拖下拖下,才来到jurong bird park
在bird park 待了3小时多,本来还很有ohm 的,但bird park 实在太大了,走到最后我们都没有mood 走下去了
草率结束bird park之旅, 没有看到world tallest man-made waterfall..
.遗憾....就差那么一点点..

本来要去sentosa 的,被bird park 搞到没有mood了...
改变行程去nus 探望佩雯,顺便参观nus 宿舍...
nus 和 ntu, ntu给我的感觉较好..
ntu 的朋友看起来活得比较开心,nus的朋友看起来较为拼学业而感压力
幸好我没选择nus science....
在佩雯的房间呆了一下,打扰她读书一下,顺便拿了一些东西
就回JJ家...

晚餐在auntie 家解决----美味第三餐
晚上本来还想出去的,但大家都太累了,不小心睡着

.....day 4......

七早八早起来,吃过美味早餐,就出发赶巴士回kl lu...


感想:
这次的旅行满意程度70%,唯独第三天的行程还相当的不满意
总算,学到了一些东西,这次的旅行还需再改善----行程,精神状态,态度方面
我感觉这次的旅行好像有不开心的成分--不懂如何形容,也让我更看清楚自己
祝下次旅行会顺利!!
