-Busy August and Journey to Geordieland, Newcastle, UKPosted by Serene-WeiMing on Tuesday, September 15, 2009August till early Sep was a busy month for me in preparing the stuffs for my studies in the UK.. visa applications, packing, outings etc... I had a wonderful time with my love ones.. they know who they are =) Went to a few special places like Bagan Lalang and buffet at KL Tower. Awesome!   22-Aug Jon and Regina's wedding. The exNorthumbria people gather again :)   Depart from LCCT with my piggy by Air Asia X to Stansted, London on 8th Sep. The flight was damn boring! Luckily I get to chat with a student studying in London who are sitting next to me. Arrived 13 hours later.
.   Have a quick nap at Holiday Inn Express. After 9 hours, took the 1 hour flight with Easyjet to Newcastle. Arrived Newcastle around 8am on 9th Sep.  Waited for the Meet and Greet students. Met a few Hongkies and we were brought to the Ellison Building. I did not get my room so I have to settle up at the accommodation office. 1 of the gal witdrawn and moved out so the room is already empty but I can't understand why can't they just let me in..and I was asked to wait will end Sep to move in...that's ridiculous! Luckily I have a good friend there..so stayed at her cosy house for few days while looking for a place to stay for me. Pretty tiring and sad..with the long flight, travelling alone and without a place to stay..*sigh I have to sleep on airbag but luckily I have my piggy with me :)  On the 11th, I've got good news that I can move into QuayPoint but it's already 4.30pm, the office is closed so I can only move in on 12th. It was a 6 ensuite bedroom flat with shared kitchen and living room with Skytv. After everything settled, I met 2 of my flatmates (couple) from Taiwan. Others I haven't met but heard there're 2 from China (they messed up the kitchen badly), 1 had moved out and 1 Malaysian. I then went for enrolment at Campus East. Then shopping for my room! Pots&pans, beddings etc..tiring... Newcastle is about the same but Northumbria University has changed a lot though...           My new room!-There're too much to write for the month of July..everything came so wretchedly, moony yet sweetly unforgettable.. days can be so murdy and vivacious at times. July 11 "How many ten years is there in a life time?""How many ten years is there in a life time?", and especially during the 20-30 age phase, it's the golden period where many people come out of school and step into the society.. until our Conventies Yr2000 leaver reunion..Wow! It's about a decade since we last see each other (some). We catch up at Pasta Zanmai, Mid Valley on 10th July 2009. We left school (Convent Kajang) in year 2000. Really happy to see the gals who make it for the night. They are: Sher Ai, Fui Theng, Siew Rong, Lee Mee, Yean Yean, Joanne, Catherine, Ley Sim, Mei Ling, Yook Ping and Ching Fong. We're all grown up and prettier...haha. Hope to see all again and hopefully more of the friends soon! Pls don't let me wait for another decade..haha
Went to Look Out Point on 4th July then Klang for seafood on 5th July.Went for Ice Age 3 (3D) on 8th July then shopping on 9th July. 10th for Conventies gathering and 12th going for karaoke!! I love fully utilised days..haha  Serene and Shih KimJuly 06 Broga Hill Climb & Aristo
We finally made it to Broga Hill. It's not that this was a challenging task but it's like a trend..seems like everyone is talking about Broga Hill lately..so we plan to go for a look..and of course with a bunch of good friends/excolleagues. We have to meet up at 5am and reached rabbit farm which is right opposite the hill.. We started to climb around 5.45am in the dawn. Everyone was well prepared with their torchlight, mosquito repellent and long sleeve shirt/jacket. It was quite tough for people who didn't work out for some time..'like me' LOL..after reaching the middle of the hill. It was pretty tiring and i was sweating like nobody's business! soaking wet! I didn't check the time when we reached the top of the hill..but the sun haven't rise..i think it's about 6.30am? There're lots of people on the hill already. All ready with their toy/pro-cams. We do not have those so just took some photos with our digicam.
  Waited for the sunrise and we just stayed for an hour or two at the hill then we slide down the hill on our butt *joking.. For me, going down the hill is harder than going up and my toes hurt. We then have our breakfast (dim sum) at Kajang town. Everyone was pretty tired and hungry. Afterall, it was a great outing!
  On the very same day..we went clubbing at Aristo.. gathering with some ex-colleagues. I think it's a newly opened at Zouk..the receptionist with her sarcastic attitude already pissed us off before entering. It wasn't good because the music just doesn't sound good to us. Furthermore, most of us are tired after the hill climb early dawn. They have this so called catwalk that day..modelling some brand's corset. It wasn't that good but at least we get to see something...LOL..We get bored later on..so we left before 2am and end up going to the 24hr OldTown in Cheras and back home around 4am.   What a day...woke up the next day around 11+am with muscle pain all over...luckily I do stretching everyday so it was ok after a while. Went for a tea with Theng then night went to Mid Valley for 'Transformers-The revenge of the Fallen'. It was a great movie. June 20 >Island Hopping-Perhentian,Redang and Lang TengahWas back from 3 days 2 nights Island Hopping at Perhentian, Redang and Lang Tengah. It was a last minute planning because my cousin will be going for National service very soon so we decided to go for a holiday together. We planned, confirmed and booked everything 5 days before we leave..thanks to Yen Mee who introduced Ah Han aka Wchoch (enthuse diver) to us. He settled everything (accommodation, food, boat and land transfer, snorkering package in 3 island, equipment etc) with reasonable cheap price. We only have to buy our air ticket to Kota Bharu airport. We depart to the airport around 6am to the LCCT airport on 13th June for flight at 7.40am. It took us only 40minutes to reach (15minutes ahead from actual estimated time) Kota Bharu airport. They had arranged a taxi driver to pick us up at the airport to Kuala Besut jetty. Didn't know the distance from airport to the jetty was so long...it took us about 1 and half hours! From jetty, we took the speedboat to our resort. We stayed at Fauna Chalet, Teluk Dalam Beach at Perhentian Besar. Not bad for budget stay but the mosquitos are big and annoying.
   After lunch, We went snorkering at Perhentian Island. Famous for its Long Beach, Tiga Ruang, Teluk Pauh, Tanjung Genting, Shark Point and Air Berani. We're lucky to see the shark about 1.5m long, huge sea turtle, nemo and baby turtles too! There're more than 150 of them.
    After snorkering and bitten by some little fishies, we went back to our chalet for some safety tips on our next adventure~~Diving! We went for discovery diving and the experience was awesome! the air tank is heavy but it's fine under the water. They added a 4kg weight on my waist which makes me sink and keep touching the ground underwater..and I need to keep pumping some air when I swim. The only thing that really bothers me was my contact lenses being too long underwater in the salted sea was bad but it gets well after that. It was all worth it! We're all tired on the very first day so we ate a lot for dinner LOL. We stroll along the beach and saw some blue sand..which they said they're actually one kind of prawn's eggs :)       
The next day, we went snorkering again. This time to Redang Island. We went to the Long Beach where the rebuilt More More Tea Inn was. The delicate silky white sand and the crystal clear water was amazing! Snorkering around the whole little island at the beach was tiring but it was great to swim along with the baby sharks!
         We then head to the Marine Park where we get to see huge eel and loads of colourful fish. Wanted to take some underwater photos with the fish so life jacket was taken off. Holding breathe was not hard but diving into the water was hard...I kept floating up by itself.. Even the diver finds it hard to pull me down..LOL. Maybe my body fat makes me float :P Swimming without the life jacket was cool..as you can swim easier and get close to the fish. We then proceed to Lang Tengah for more beautiful corals.    After the whole day of snorkering, we went back to our resort and start building sand castles..finally we build a sand cake for our cousin YungYung's 21st birthday. While we're busy building the sand thingy, the naughty little monkey came jumping and out of a sudden it grabs my leg and start bitting..damn..I was shocked and not quick enough to react..just screamed and tried to get rid of it but it grab me so tight..then a guy came and quickly kick it away. Lucky it was a small little monkey with it's teeth blunted. My leg was left with light scar and teeth mark. *phew~ That night we celebrated her birthday together with Wchoch's magic tricks and such a coincident that an actor (a bad guy named Spark) from the movie 'Mat Rempit' was there with us to play his guitar and sing. The funniest part was when my uncle went drunk dancing with Tony. They did some wicked moves which makes everyone laughed like mad LMAO.     We're suppose to go for jungle trekking the next morning but the weather is not too good and no guide for us so it was cancelled. Everyone were pretty tired so we just stroll by the beach and take more photos before we leave the wonderdul island. T_T We left the island with wonderful experience and I feel like going for Open Water and diving license soon..haha..if only I have enough time and $$ :P
   This place is highly recommended for all to visit! and anyone interested going..please ask me to join along! I'm lovin' it....wahahahaha.. >New Zodiac?! Am I a Libra or Virgo now?Recently found an interesting topic. I'm pretty sure everyone knows which Zodiac they belongs to according to their date of birth but the Zodiac that everyone is familiar with today is going to change. I don't know how true (Can anyone find out?) but today, due to shifts in the earth's rotation and orbit, the sun moves through 13 constellations instead of 12 constellations 2500 years ago. Ophiuchus is a zodiacal constellation added but does not lend its name to an astrological sign. Here's the updated version: Pisces (March 13 - April 19) Aries (April 20 - May 12) Taurus (May 13 - June 20) Gemini (June 21 - July 19) Cancer (July 20 - August 11) Leo (August 12 - September 17) Virgo (Sepetember 18 - October 31) Libra (November 1 - November 21) Scorpius (November 22 - November30) Ophiuchus (December 1 - December 18) new Sagittarius (December 19 - January 18) Capricorn (January 19 - February 17) Aquarius (February 18 - March 12) Should I start to count myself in as a Virgo? I'm a Libra for 25years! Oops.. :P I still love being a Libra..who cares |
