Finally my poster presentation is over .... feel so much better now.! It wasn't THAT bad as what i thought it will be. At least I still managed to handle/answer the questions that the examiners asked. I know my presentation was really really bad, seriously bad, and i can do alot better if i have more time to prepare :p All gotta blame my supervisor for delaying me.! 

OK should leave it to another post about poster day itself. Coz i haven't got any pic of the poster day now, will get it from friends tomorrow and hopefully i will have time to update it asap. Mind you, i still got thesis to write and submission date is next friday, 1st of May. I am so eager to show you guys my precious baby now. 

It was taken using my iPhone, that's why it is so blurry. 
Bare with me, i will post up nicer pic when i got them from theresa and michelle k.

Talk about the free meal from supervisor now. I being so evil keep "forcing" supervisor to treat us lunch throughout the period of carrying out project, and he surrendered by taking us for Japanese on Monday, we went to Ichiban in Cowbridge Road, Cardiff. A night before, I texted him, said i want to go to somewhere far away, and want to go there by car, don't want to walk, hahaha. So we ended up in his "mini" car, which belongs to his daughter actually (i called it "mini" because the car is so small and he is so big in size, it looks so funny seeing him driving such a small car)
 
The car is slightly bigger than our Kancil. and got the hello kitty hanging there, OMG!! awwww!!! I keep teasing him saying that the car doesn't match his size, and he replied SHUT UP. waakaka!!

and see, this is him, can see how BIG is he? and he is amazing, he knows how to use chopstick!! and he loves wasabi, he can take more wasabi than i do, without tears!!! 

3 girls: gillian, me and nor (from left). Nor is doing phD under the same supervisor of mine.

This is one of the food we ordered. California maki. We ordered quite much actually, don't need to care for the price, just order what we want to eat, or feel like eating, so nice right! hahaha! We also ordered spider maki, unagi don, seafood pancake.

Okie i shud sleep now. Thought of posting some interesting spring blossom pics but will do that next time, tired now. Will get a day off from project tomorrow, just don't feel like thinking on project anymore, for at least one more day! Thesis submission on next Friday, hopefully there is no last minute work like this morning anymore!!! *pray hard*

This is a late post.

01.04.09 - 03.04.09 
Manchester with Leeli and ah Beng and ah Cheng.

Train at 7.30am from Cardiff and arrived at Manchester Piccadilly at 11.15am. Went straight to the Macdonald Manchester Hotel to meet with Leeli, and off we go to visit Old Strafford football stadium. 

manchester united
=@=

in the player's changing room.
and those two are their jersey.

the field.
actually it is not as huge as what in my mind.

this is the canal where the players
come out from before the match.
it links to their changing room.

man. utd.
fans anyone?

After visiting Old Trafford, we went to The Trafford Centre for shopping. It is one of the largest shopping mall in the UK. It is really huge, double or even triple the size of St. David arcade we have in Cardiff. And the interior design made me feel like shopping in Sunway Pyramid back in Malaysia. Goshhh I spent so much there!! Bought like 5 items in a day. Gonna stop myself from buying stuffs d!! 

At night we met with ah Beng for dinner, had chinese meal, super delicious.! and of coz had lot of laughter too. We were so tired that we slept till noon the next day. Manchester has nothing much for sight seeing, so we ended up shopping again the second day, in city centre. Wanted to have dimsum but we don't know the way to the famous yet cheap restaurant :( then get back to hotel to rest while waiting for ah Beng and ah Cheng. Went for another chinese meal again after they were ready. 

Manchester has so much nice and delicious food, not like Cardiff. Mind you, we only have 2 well-known chinese restaurant in Cardiff, pity pity! But consider lucky for not studying in Manchester, or else i think i will put on lot of weight :p  

with ah Cheng.
on our way back to Leeli's room.

with ah Cheng and Leeli.

Just realised that we didn't take any picture together with ah Beng throughout our stays in Manchester. paiseh paiseh. 

That was my Manchester trip. Nice to see you Leeli, hope to see you more in UK. and Thanks for the food you bring all the way from Singapore for me. Miss you lotsss!

现在才发觉,
自己是世界上最幸福的女孩!
虽然在爱情上我是彻底的失败,
但是我还是最幸福的!
说不出为什么,
但此时此刻的我,
随时都在微笑!
原来,快乐掌握在自己手里!

Finally the lab session had over, no more lab work for me anymore *finger cross*

Had been busy doing write up these days, progress is so so so damn slow. Everything had gone out of plan most of the time, really gonna slap myself for being such a lazy-bum!! 

It's a long weekend this week, with Good Friday and Easter Monday off as well. Everyone is going off for a trip or holiday, but this poor lil' girl here been stuck in the house writing report, with the sunny weather outside :(

But it's fine, at least i am not alone, i have family support, i have friends on MSN accompany me throughout my dull days, i have housemates and coursemates who are sitting on the same boat as me, and and and the most importantly, i have my supervisor helping me most of the time. I think his life is alot worst than me, because he has me this stupid student, ask for help in every single piece of work. I've sent thousands of text messages and emails to him for the past 3 days, and he is just so kind to reply every single text and email from me. 

Few funny email or text replied from him:

Me: Can you help me ... bla bla bla .... 
(it was 10.30pm when he replied)
Charles: You want me to do this NOW? Maybe you can buy me dinner in Didcot in return.
(Didcot is the place i'm going to work after graduated)
Me: I thought you are the one who need to buy me dinner at both Cardiff and Didcot?
Charles: Oh no, you are too expensive for me, I can't afford you!
[and he really help reading and checking my report at such hour]

and I've been improving the experiment result for bloody 2 days, and sent to him again last night, texted him this morning to said i've sent final perfect results to him, and guess what is his reply?
Him: Hey pest, I've sent your results back 20 mins ago, not quite perfect yet.
Me: =.=" (sweat!!)
So there is more to improve, and I started moaning at him through text.
He replied: Stop moaning at me, you are the one who ask me to improve it!
Again, =.="" (even more sweat)

In the email, I apologized for ruining his peaceful long weekend, and he replied, it's ok, you can ask for help from me anytime, u know. Awwww ... i feel touched!!

and and and, the worst thing is, he said i should start writing on the discussion part, so that he can start translating them into English. WTH, i am writing in English!!! Grrghhhhhh..!!! 

Oh maybe the worst thing is he made promised to treat us lunch on Friday, but he never reply my email when i asked about it. Huh, gonna bring him out this Tuesday and we gonna go to the most expensive restaurant this time, very geram!!! 

1 and a half week left to poster day, and 2 and a half week left to thesis submission day, i'm seriously getting nervous, can feel the stress hitting on my body now!! Can i manage to finish everything by the deadlines?
"When the boat reaches the jetty, it will become straight"
direct translate from 船到桥头自然直, my buddy's favourite verse. 
feel like smacking him on his head, really!  :p

Think i should get back to my write up, promise to email my supervisor by this evening. Hopefully I can finish by then. 

and will be out enjoying with my girls tonight, can't wait!!!

It's spring now, flowers blooming everywhere, sunny weather, waaa i damn love the sun here in the UK, just love to walk under the sun. I know you will say i'm crazy if you are staying in Malaysia/Singapore etc, but you will definitely agree with me if you are here in the UK with me!!!

Last week after hair cut, went to this random park on our way home from city centre, and start our crazy moment by non-stop taking photos.

















*p/s: all photos above are taken in the park in front of Cardiff City Hall, sorry i'm lazy to do caption one by one. One thing to mention here is, laying down on the grass is very very comfortable, so soft even nicer than my bed!!!
