18th Dec 2005
Woke up early in the morning to catch the MegaBus from Cardiff to London, our bus departed at 7.30am sharp, and we reached London at 10.40am. We took the free shuttle bus provided by millennium Lodge from Victoria Station to the hostel, it was a lousy hostel i ever stayed before. Lucky we just need to stay there for a few hours. After settled down with the check-in, we went out to explore London City by ourselves. We went to London Eye, London Bridge, City Centre and China Town, had our chinese buffet dinner there, it's not so tasty but i enjoyed eating so much cause i miss Chinese food too much.. Went back to our hostel after dinner and prepared to sleep. Oh yaa, London is very cold compared to Cardiff, maybe it's more windy.
19th Dec 2005
Woke up at 3am to get ready to go to Stansted Airport. Check-out from the hostel at 3.30am, walked all the way to the bus stop which is 20min walking distance away from our hostel, reached there at 3.50am and caught the public bus at 4.05am, reached Victoria Station at 4.30am. We were in trouble, cause our coach from Victoria to Stansted was 4.30am, and is stated in the ticket that we need to arrive 10min earlier before the bus depart. We were late. The worst point was we don't even know where is the exact location of the bus stop. We ran here and there just to find the bus to airport. We ran so fast in the dark (it was just 4.30am) to find our bus, lucky that we still manage to catch our bus, and reach Stansted Airport at 6.10am. Again we need to rush to check-in our flight. Our flight depart at 7am, we need to check-in 40min before departure, means that we only left 10mins to find our check-in counter to check-in. There were so many people in the airport, all the counters also had a long queue. By luck, we managed to check-in on time. We were so tired and all of us just fell asleep when we were in the flight, slept until we reached Goteborg. We reached at 10.10am (local time). It was snowing heavily in Goteborg when we reached. Wow, nice snow there but it was freezing, didn't take much photo with the snow cause we can't stand of the weather. now feel so regret of it. We stayed in the airport until 1pm cause waited for my sister who are flying from Glasgow to Goteborg on the same day, her flight suppose to reach at 12.10pm but because of the heavy snowing, her flight had to land at other airport. We took 1.30pm bus from the City Airport to town area and met my sis there. After that we went to check-in to our hostel. At night we walked around Goteburg City and had our dinner in a small cafe, i ate spaghetti which cost me 55SEK.
20th - 23rd Dec 2005
Travelled around Goteburg interesting places. We bought a Goteborg pass (cost 295SEK) each and get free entrance to most of the attracting places. We went to Universeum, Museum of World Cultural, Botanical Garden, Museum of Medicinal, Casino and lot more (i can't remember all of the places we went, hehe). Oh yaa, i went into the casino for the 1st time in my life, i was so excited before enter the casino but when i was inside, it was no fun at all, i didn't gamble at all, feel like it's just a wasting of money. We get to eat the Swedish Traditional Food in one of the restaurant there, Swedish usually eat seafood which is prawn and fish. Anyway, i preferred Malaysian food more, hehe. There was no snow at all except for the 1st day, it was really out of our expectation, i planned to play with snow at there cause i don't think i'll have any chance to play it here in Cardiff anymore. But it was so dissapointed. The weather is extremely cold over there, maybe just 2-4 degree celcius maximum and minimum was -3 degree celcius. I wore 5 layers of shirt but still can feel the cold.
3.20pm, our flight depart from Goteburg back to London, and we reached London at 4.15pm (local time), took the coach from Stansted back to Victoria, and had our dinner in Victoria Train Station. My sis and her friend followed us back to Cardiff to celebrate Christmas in Cardiff. 9.30pm our bus depart from London back to Cardiff and we arrived here at 12.45am. We were so tired and i went to bed right after i reached home.
24th Dec 2005
Woke up at 10am, my sis woke me up actually. Met my sis and her friend in city centre. We went to Sainbury to shop for food. Ingi, my sister's friend wanted to cook us a christmas dinner, so we bought lot of food from Sainbury. After shopping for food, my dear and me brought them to Cardiff Bay, they took lot of pictures there. At night, we went to juliet's house to had our christmas dinner. Ingi cooked lot of food for us, spagetti, mash potato, baked potato, vegetable, and we prepared bacon and salmon for oursleves. 6 of us really had a wonderful dinner and talked lot of jokes. Enjoy ourselves very much.
25th Dec 2005
Christmas Day. Nobody on the street, it was a quiet street, we can cross the road whenever we want without looking left and right. This is my 1st time to enjoy Christmas in a western country, tought that i can have an enjoyable white christmas but there was no snow today, dissapointed!
All the shops were close and we just walked around Cathays park for them to take photo. After that we went to Amanda's house to have our dinner. Just ate pizza and apple pie, cause we don't have any food left. What's a pity day..!
Tomorrow -- 26th Dec 2005

Exam!
Exam timetable is out now. My exam will be held on the 17th of Jan 2006 for module PH1116 Introduction to Cell Biology and Biochemistry. Although it is only one paper for me to sit for in this autumn semester examination, I'm so nervous now, I've no confidence at all, where is my self-confidence? I need them to make me strong enough to face this exam.
I've seen the past year exam paper that my lecturer posted up in blackboard, it was so surprise that I don't know the answer at all, I don't even familiar with the question he asked. I've no idea where to find for the answer. I'm going to fail soon, everything is out of my mind. What should I do now? Study hard? No matter how hard i studied, I don't think it makes any point, cause what the lecturer taught us is totally different from what he's examined us in exam.
The worst thing is that I don't even know where is my exam venue. It is in the Muller Hall, All Nations Centre, Sachville Avenue, what the hell is that? I just know that it's somewhere very very far from my house, almost 30 to 40 minutes walking distance from the map they've shown us. Why can't they arranged us to have out exam in our pharmacy department? Why must held it somewhere so far away from the school of pharmacy? I got my exam in the morning, 9am, means i need to start my journey to the exam venue one hour earlier, and i need to wake up even earlier, how can I do that? Stupid 'ang mo lang' ... crazy ... *%&6@#?&*

Sleepy Day
Today was a moodless and sleepy day for me, have no idea what had happened to me. Feel so sleepy in the lectures for the whole morning. My eyes couldn't open at all. Fell asleep many times during lectures. Even enjoy sleeping in the 10min break between lectures. Felt that i was so unconcious for the whole morning. I went to bed at 1.45am last nite and woke up at 8am this morning, already slept for 6h15min, should be more than enough rite? Lucky my lectures ended at 1pm today, so i rushed back home after lectures and had my lunch and then ... SLEEP ... hehe. I love sleeping so much, i can sleep whenever i want, sometimes the hours i'm sleeping is more than the hours i'm awake in a day, esp during weekend, terrible rite?
Although i sleep for so much this afternoon, i still feel sleepy now, but i need to stay in the library waiting for the time flies, i'm catching a film later on 8.40pm, The Constant Gardener and 11.15pm The Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. It has been one of our Friday's activities to visit the cinema on Friday nite since i bought the unlimited movie pass. Enjoy movie so much although sometime i will fall asleep during movie, hehe.

free from test!
Christmas is coming ... in 2 weeks time ... yuppie, happie! 1st time for me to experience white christmas in Cardiff, UK. Too bad that there are no snow since last last last friday, will it be snowing on the christmas eve? I really hope so, so that i can enjoy white christmas here.
Tonite we are served with christmas menu, it's a christmas party in Trevithick Restaurant where i always have my dinner, but there is not much fun at all. The food taste so bad, worst than normal dinner, the turkey is small in pieces, and it's tasteless. All the side dishes is made by potato, shit man, i dun like potato at all, the worst thing is there are so many type of side dishes made by potato but non of them are tasty. The desert they served also not nice, a piece of cake which is very very sweet and some kind of pudding which is tasteless. Yuckss..! How can they serve us with such a tasteless food. I just eat a little bit of the food, i'm sure that i'll suffer form hunger tonite, maybe i need to eat another packet of maggie mee again. No no no ... i shouldn't eat any maggie mee from now onward, coz i've eaten lot lot of maggie within this week, can feel that my hair is dropping seriously this few days, should be the effect of eating too much maggie mee. But what to do? I feel hungry easily, the best food for me to eat in the middle of night is only maggie mee. Any suggestion that what should i eat?
I'm free in this weekend, at least i no nit to study for the law test again, so i've planned to go shopping and watch movie with my dear, enjoy our life hanging around city centre. Planned to buy lot of things for my visiting to Sweden's trip. But the stuff over here is so so so expensive, i need to choose the cheepest one all the time ... I wish i am a millionaire!

I'm free now ..
Yeah, finally all the test for this semester had overed! I'm free now, free from all the test and assignment for this semester. So happy! Can enjoy my life now, planned to go for shopping this weekend, watch movie and sleep sleep sleep ...
Did badly in today's law test, hopefully i still can pass this paper. From the law test, i realised that actually i got so much of act to study, but it's too late, i just flipped through all the note to look for the particular act. Turn here and there just to look for the answer. My hand and brain was so tired after the test. We got 70 question to be done in 2 hours, it sounds crazy rite? We are given a mark if answered correctly and -1 mark if answered wrongly. So our conclusion was: just leave blank if you don't know the answer instead of guessing the answer. This is my first time to leave blank in my test/exam, looks like i didn't study for my exam but i did.
My dear brought me for movie after my dinner just now, he said is to relax myself as all my test is overed for this semester, must have a celebration, but the fact is he himself want to go for movie, not me! I'm so tired after my lectures this evening, and i fell asleep during the movie.
Okie, i need to go back home have a good rest now! Good news for myself, tomorrow 2 of my lectures are cancelled! That's mean i only got 3h lecture tomorrow, good!
