30th Jan
2nd day of Chinese New year ...
I've started my class today. The lectures were absolutely boring. Maybe it was not but coz of my self-behaviour. How could i study during Chinese New Year? I've no idea why don't they give us one-day off during Chinese New Year since there are so many Chinese here. I fell asleep again in the class, but wasn't too long, just few minutes i think as when i woke up, the lecturer just finished one-page of the hand-out he gave us. Maybe he talked too much and gave too many information on the particular page, well i don't know, the thing i knew is i've slept for so long but how come the time still passed so slow? Today my timetable was crazy. I had lectures from 9am to 1pm, then got another lab session at 1.30pm to 4.30pm. I was only given half an hour break to have my lunch. How can i do that? There's no any restaurant nearby for me to take a proper meal, and i just simply bought a sandwiches as my lunch in a coffee shop next to my pharm block.
We were asked to do a chromotography experiment today, I was totally blank with the set-up for the experiment, but luckily there was a lab assistant helping me and my lab-partner throughout the experiment, if not i think i would have failed. Erm, comment on the experiment, i think this experiment is useless, although it is a chemistry experiment, but what's a pharmacist get involved in chromotography? Maybe a industrial pharmacist will need this while they are preparing the drugs but i was wondering will they actually use chromotography to measure the polarity of the chemicals? No idea ...
Back to my MPharm undergraduate life, it will be a really tough subject to study i think, and i'm afraid to think of any further, just look ahead to finish all my module this year and other things will think of it later. But, what actually a pharmacist do? Do they just sell medicine or give advice to patient bout the drugs? Can i handle if i were to be a pharmacist consulting a patient bout theit health problem? I'm seriously bad in counselling, so can i still be a pharmacist? I'm still blur .... God bless .....

We went to China Town to buy all the ingredients we need in the afternoon, we bought fish ball, tauhu, golden mushroom, meehoon, mee and tomyam spices from ChinaTown. Then we went to Central market to buy chicken, seafood and crabstick. After that we went to Sainsburry to get some vegetable and drinks. Yooo ... at nite the dinner was really delicious.
What a lonely CNY i had this year, guess how i celebrate it? I'm in the computer room on the 1st day of chinese new year. How could I?

Lonely Day
LoneLy Day
What's a lonely Friday of mine? Today is Friday, and it is 19.56pm now, I suppose to hang around with my deardear or friends at this time, but what happen to me today? I am alone sitting in the computer room blogging. What'd happened? Nobody in the computer room now, where has everybody gone? Today is the last day of our school exam period, all of them went out for drinks and dance or party I supposed. What's a enjoyable night for them, but there is a little poor gurl here sitting in the computer room doing nothing.
My deardear went to work after dinner, he got a job in a restaurant for tonight. So he went off after dinner, left me alone in the computer room online while waiting for him to come back. We planned to watch lot of movie tonight but all our plan is cancelled due to his job. So we are going for movie early in the morning tomorrow until noon, and we are going to ChinaTown for a shop for food at around 2pm to prepare for tomorrow night so-called reunion dinner. We gonna have steambot for our dinner, 8 to 9 people all together I think, will have an enjoyable and memorable mini reunion dinner, but haven't think of what to eat yet, hehe..
Okie, back to my lonely Friday night in this warm computer room, i suppose to online chatting with friends through MSN, but it is out of my mind, nobody online today, weird. I'm wondering where has everyone gone? Why nobody in the computer room or even MSN. I have no one to chat to, just now have a small chat with SiewFang, but she left the conversation because it's late for her to go to bed now, so I'm alone agian. My sis went to a CNY dinner which is organised by Singapore Society from Glasgow Uni, so she's busy too. If not i think we are chatting non-stop again tonight. Gotta wait for her to come back now.
Okie, i'm so lazy to type anymore, gonna do my lab report now. I promised my deardear to do as much of the report as i can by tonight so that tomorrow we can have a one-day off for movie with him, so i need to start now. Bye. Will write again after my mini reunion dinner. See ya..

Lonely CNY
It is 20.04pm now in UK, and it is 04.04am now in Malaysia. My sis, LaySan is sleeping in the train now, she is going back to our lovely home to celebrate Chinese New Year with family. Feel so jealous of her. At least she can go back to have a tradition reunion dinner at home, my cousin, TanCe sure will cook alot of delicious food on that night. They sure will have abalone and shark fins for the dinner, what's a lovely night? Eating with all the family members and share all the happiness among each others. After dinner, normally we will start gambling, CNY is the only days that we (children) are allowed to gamble, or else we will get scolded.
Now, I am staying far apart from home, thousands mile away from my beloved family and friends, no more Chinese New Year celebration for me from now onwards, until maybe year 2010? Who knows? I might be neglected from them ...
Guess what am I doing now? I am listening to Chinese New Year song 'Xin Nian Hao' downloaded and sent to me from Juliet. This is the only CNY song I had. What's a pity gurl here. Recall those time when i was celebrating in my lovely home, we (my sis and i) sure will get a copy of original M-Girl CNY cd's and listen to it repeatedly, but not for now anymore. Ooooo, back to the 'Xin Nian Hao', I am listening it in my school computer room, and I am listening it with my earphone, what's a pity again. I need to listen to the only CNY song i had privately and quietly. 'Syiok Seorang'. No one can share my excitement with me ... ="[
Okie, to those who read my blog, can you please kindly send me some Chinese New Year songs if you have it, i really need those song to cheer myself up during this lonely CNY. If you got M-Girl version then will be the best, if not then any singer will be fine. You can send it to my hotmail layming85@hotmail.com or my Gmail layming85@gmail.com Your kindness are much much appreciated. Thanks very much. Love you so much ... Muackkssss ....

Parcel received!
Yoyooo ... Finally i received the parcel that my mom sent to me 2 months ago. Thanks God.! I have been waiting for so long, and feel extremely happy to receive it by today. This morning when i was still sleeping, i received my sis msg saying that she had received the parcel from Malaysia, and I guess my parcel should have reached too. After my lunch, I went to my reception to look for it, as expected, the parcel was there, and it was so heavy to carry, it's 20kg.! I called my darlinn, and he said he will help me to carry it, so both of us carry together, but still so heavy. I can't wait until i reached my room anymore, we walked faster and faster because i was so curious to know what had my mom sent to me.
Guess what is inside the parcel?
It's all my favourite, so excited to see it. Got lot of the 'perencah' for fried rice, tomyam cube, 3 in 1 milo, maggie mee, 'suan mei' which i can't get it here. Of coz there are still lot of things but i can't remember what else in the parcel. hehe. Oh, there are one rice cooker inside too, it belongs to my darlinn, hopefully the rice cooker still functioning after travelled for such a long period to reach UK. We haven't try it, will try it tomorrow i guess. Waa, my mom really sent me lot of my favourite food, got a few can food too, i think all those food is enough for me to eat until i'm back to Malaysia. Thanks mom. Love you so much. Still so happy and excited now..

Tiring day
Last few days was a super tiring day for me, my sis came over to Cardiff to visit me and I ended up have no enough sleep everynight. We slept late at night and woke up early in the morning everyday. Finally she went back to Glasgow yesterday morning. Again, we slept late a night before and woke up early in the morning to send her off. Her bus departed at 7.45am. I was so tired after that but still accompany my dear to go to computer room to online. After online, we went to McD to have our breakfast. Then went back home play computer game, until 4pm, I really can't stand it anymore, my eyes couldn't open anymore, I went to bed and fell asleep unconsciously, until I woke up at 5.15am this morning. What's happened to me? I've slept for more than 12 hours. Sleep like a dead people without any conscious. I was really tired for the past few days, but I don't care, at least I am happy, enjoy eating and shopping and travelling with my sis. We really ate alot of delicious food for every meals, and shop alot, bought alot of stuffs, for our own CNY celebration I should say. Hehe.
CNY is around the corner, but i can't see any decoration for CNY along Cardiff street. I should have heard lot of CNY songs playing in most of the shops back in Malaysia, but not now. It will be a lonely CNY for this year and years onward. What's a sad and lonely CNY for me from now onwards. I wish i can go back home now. Everyone seems like talking and sharing their happiness and excitement of going back to their lovely and sweety hometown but I can't join them. I am not going back for CNY celebration anymore.
To all my friends and family, although I'm not around with you guys during CNY, I'm still hope that all of you will have a happy and prosperious Chinese New Year. Pretend that I am there with all of you and have lot of fun everyday.

21st Jan 2006
21st Jan 2006, sunny day, good weather, no rain and no strong wind...
Happy 21st Birthday to SiewFang, called her last night before i went to bed but too bad she is enjoying in Singapore, so we can't talk much, just manage to wish her a simple birthday wish. Anyway, gonna wish her have a lovely and sweetest day on this BIG DAY. Fang, although i don't know whether you can see this msg here, i still like to wish you all the best in your studies, especially when you go oversea, study hard and smart all the time ya, keep in touch always and the remember we are friend forever ...
Happy 19th Birthday to Sharene Loo, she is my cousin, just chat with her in MSN few minutes ago, get to know that she's busy choosing and making decision to further her study, this will be a tough decision-making process which everyone must face when you reach the age of 17th or 18th. So, wish you all the best in choosing your future field and Happy Birthday to you, Sharene.
Okie, after the birthday wishes, here comes my activities for the last two days..
On the 18th Jan, my sis and i went to Bath. We took train from Cardiff Central to Bath Spa at 9.30am, supposed to reach there at 10.30am as the journey only takes 1 hour, but we ended up reaching there at 11.30am because we overslept in the train, hehe. We bought the City-sight-seeing bus pass to travel around Bath and visited the famous Roman Bath, Bath Abbey, The Circus, Sally Lunn's refreshment house & museum, and more.. It was a tiring day for us, but we enjoyed travelling around so much, of course we did capture alot of photo there. I'll post up those pictures later on..
The next day (19th Jan), we went back to Bath again early in the morning, we took 6.30am train from Cardiff Central, so i woke up at 5am. We went back to Bath again because we were joinging a tour to visit some places in the Bath's countryside. We went to Stonehenge, Avebury, Lacook (The Trust Village) and Combe Castle. Our tour departed at 8.45am, we reached Bath City at 4.15pm, and took 4.32pm train back to Cardiff. Took lot of photo too, i've posted up the pics taken in Stonehenge, and will upload others soon.
Yesterday (20th Jan), planned to go Swansea but at the end we cancelled our plan coz we were too tired. Just walked around Cardiff city centre and bought a few things. Oh, we went to Quick Silver's shop and noticed that there were up to 50% sale! I'm so excited to see the Sale's banner hanging outside the shop, all items have at least 30% discount, this is the first time i've chance to see sale on Roxy stuff, even on Boxing Day also didn't have such a big sale. I bought a pair of gloves and a bag for myself, not dare to buy more because i've no much money left. I'm seriously broke now! We ate Japanese food for lunch, quite nice, have been such a long time since i last had my Japanese food back in Malaysia. We had chinese buffet for dinner, get to eat crab at there, so happy, but not very nice. hehe.
okie, will continue blogging nx time, need to go now ... ^_^

13th Jan 2006
Passed up my PH1116 Dissertation this afternoon, finished my final work for PH1116 last nite, feel good to pass up one of my assignment today, means i left 2 more lab reports to rush for after my exam. Both of the report's due date is 3rd Feb 2006. Seriously out-of-time!
My exam is coming in few days time, scary and nervous! This few days keep on looking at the only past year exam paper that i have and searching for answer like hell. Yet, i haven't got the complete set of answer. Some of the question really drive me crazy, never seen before in my lecture's notes, totally no idea where to look for answer. My coursemate, Cody told me that they will be having a small discussion group this Sunday night and asked me to join them, but i don't think i am able to join them, because the vanue will be very far for me, they normally will held it in Talybont, and i stay in Senghennydd, so it would be a problem for me if i were joining them. Maybe i will just ring him up to discuss with him instead of joining him for discussion.
Although i just sit for 1 paper for this Autumn semester's exam, but i am so so so worry, maybe because this is my first exam in university, hvn get use to it yet, don't know how will it be. Will it be as same as the time i had my A-Level exam back in Malaysia? The most worried problem is where is my exact exam vanue? How can i get there early in the morning as my exam start at 9am? I think i probably will hired a taxi to go to my exam vanue, coz it's very very far from the place i'm staying. About 1++ hour walking distance. If i were going to walk there, i think i need to start my journey 2 hours before exam, crazy rite? Is a waste of time rite? Crazy ang mo lang, never think of the problem that the student will face if they set the exam vanue so far away. STUPID!
Called back home just now but mom is not in, they went out for shopping, so nice. Think of last time when i was there in KB, i always went shopping with them, exspecially before CNY, bought lot of stuffs to prepare for CNY decoration. I think they were shopping busily for CNY stuffs again just now. Then i called my dear sis, San, for a chat, she is forever so cute, although she is turning 18th next week, but she is still like a baby for all of us, the way she talks and acts with us, just like a small kids. Love her so much. Miss those time 3 of us argueing for just a small matter, mom always say that my elder sis and me like to bully my younger sis, hehe, we are so bad. But i think is me who like to bully them, haha. Now we all are far apart, can't quarrel anymore, and start to be nice to each other. Miss each other so much in every single minutes.
Can't wait to go back home in this summer, a family going to reunion soon in this summer, all of us will be back home. Yeah ...! Yeah ...! Happy Family ...! 5 more months to go ....

4th Jan 2006
What a lousy library in Cardiff University? It doens't even have a past year exam paper for student to do their revision. How am i going to do my revision without a past year exam paper? All other students can find their past year exam paper through internet but not for Pharmacy student, why? Unfair! Under the internet learning and study session, it shows that pharmacy students have to view the past year exam paper under blackboard but nothing is in the blackboard. I'm really going to fail this exam. No idea where to find and past year exam paper to do my revision ...

Nothing special happened in this few days, i'm still the same, still in my holiday mood, still no mood to start my revision for my exam but i have to, just force myself to study as much as i can everyday. Sleep late and wake up late everyday, enjoying sleeping life, i think my sleeping hours is longer than the hours i'm awake in a day. OMG!!
I woke up very early today, about 9.30am, hehe, surprise? Of coz not for study, but for shopping. Haha, if my mom is reading my blog then she'll scold me i think, or nagging. Actually i went to refund my shirts which i bought on boxing day, and after that i went to shop for food, need some refill on my food or else i have to starve for few weeks during my exam. Bought lot of stuff and need to carry all the stuffs which is so heavy back to my room, so tired!
Oh, finally today my reception is reopened, i get to check my post box for my mail, i received a christmas card from a friend, sherlinn, thanks ya gurl, although is abit late but i'm still happy with it, at least you still remember me in your heart, thanks.
Need to stop here now, will continue again when i'm free and willing to walk to online. Miss home so much.

Happy new year 2006
Happy New Year 2006
Time really flies, today is the beginning of year 2006. Let me refresh what had I done in last year? Really can't believe that I've wasted a year without doing anything. I finished my A-Level since Nov 2004 and from that day onward I just did nothing until end of September 2005, when my new study life started in Cardiff, UK. Did a little studying everyday started from Sept till end of year 2005. Know nothing from my study yet although my exam is coming soon on the 17th of Jan. OMG..!
Last night went out to celebrate New Year at City Hall/Bute Park. There was a lot of people and it was really crowded. There was lot of games there, I played one of them which cost £2 and i got a small bear as a gift. Hehe ...

At 11.59.55pm they started to count down for new year in front of City Hall. At 12am sharp, there was nice fire shows which last for 5-10mins, it was really beautiful. I love it so much.
Happy New Year to everyone ...
