Would anyone believe me if i told them that the internet here is worse than Espeed -_- you know you usually think that these top universities would have SUPER DUPER high speed internet but no. They purposely make it lambat so you buy the faster internet package.
Another project down, few million to go. Construction project, ah so tedious. But its worth it, im so amazed at the detail in my work, it looked so professional heh heh. I was so proud of myself until i went to reviews -_- . I saw other students work and i was just like -_- crap, they're just so amazing. YAH so u can guess the marks that i got, it was border line. Cause the standard is so freaking high. It was out of 70, and my tutor was giving me marks out of 5, and all i saw were 3s and i got one 4!! :D but yea i also got a 1 -_-''''''' cause i forgot to do drawings at 1:20 gwash so dumb la, i even forgot to put in a heater, like wat da right? WHO in the UK forgets to put a heater in. -_- i got everything else but the heater and my 1:20 drawings
dumbass la. So hoping i would get over 35 which im assuming is the pass mark, my tutor was on the last category to give me marks and i was on a 32, i need a 3 to pass. And i could see his pen hovering over the 2 then the 3 then the 2 then the 3. But he gave me a 3 bahaha HOYAH.
Found a house to live in next year with 3 other architect students! WEE HEE :P Its a good house, 58 pounds per week, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, huge living area, huge back garden with an apple, plum and lemon tree i think. We're picking rooms out of a hat, so i hope i don't get the small room.
Weather has been weird here. Everytime i have to stay in its sunny, everytime i have to go out its windy and raining. Sun rain sun rain sun rain BLAH. Umbrellas dont work in the UK.
London tomorrow la la la :)

4:38 AM
okay for some odd reason i cant view my blog, so i cant view tags or reply them. So dont think im ignoring you :P haha But yes still tag!! ahha
So it has almost been 3 weeks, im actually enjoying myself here. First week was quite sad, I thought i wouldnt make any friends but yes i think i was rushing to conclusions but now everything is good :D hee hee. I love my classes except Studio and Construction design. Just bores me. I love Environmental Design and Contemporary Debates tho, people think im a geek cause im so into the issues of global warming haha.
Been pretty busy with classes, not much homework yet, but its coming i can feel it :P haha I was meant to go over to Keele to visit Renee but i dont think i have time. Next week my auntie is coming to visit me :) so im quite excited. Then on the 3rd of Nov im going up to Manchester so hopefully ill meet up with Val and co. Im going up cause its goin to be my birthday on the 7th and its Bon fire weekend ooOO exciting! Yes dont forget my birthday ah :( ill be expecting birthday cards in the snail mail. Snail mail to
Flat 5, Larches,
Broadgate park, Turnpike Lane
Beeston, Nottingham
NG92UW
I want mail!
Then the weekend after that im going to Paris again for an architecture trip. Hopefully this time ill be able to see Le Defense. Then on the 24th i might be going down to London to visit some old friends and new friends :)
Went to Faces two nights ago for an Asians party. I never knew so many asians were studying at Notts! Was so shocked cause i never see any of them! :| only the ones doing Architecture. But yes was so fun, met more people ;) I would post pictures but my friend hasnt sent it to me yet. Yes i felt rather dead the next day, more like a zombie.
Last weekend i went to Goose Fair, its like a fun fair. I won 3 soft toys. Well technically i didn't la. HAHA i just got it for free. Cause i didn't win, i think i looked so pathetic, they felt sorry for me :P so yea i have a cute bunny, a fat belly tiger and an ugly cow. I went on this ride called Disco, we're all strapped in standing up in a circle, then we spin around really really fast. After a while the whole thing starts spinning 360 degrees, oh me gosh was so fun, but i got slightly freaked out cause i felt i was going to fall out, i could feel my shoulder slipping out of the harness. I never did trust fun fair rides.
Ive also joined the Yoga society, haha its quite fun, like stretching and stuff i feel much more relaxed after. Except when they make us do the hardcore things. We had to do back bends which wasnt much of a problem but then we had to do it from standing up and thats rather impossible for me :P
Ive also joined the Bruneian Society, recognized some people. Who i can go to church with. Oh yes, I FOUND A CHURCH :D hee hee Cornerstone church. Which is like 45 minute walk from my place but its okay :) i dont mind EXERCISE. Met more people on Sunday, met a girl called lydia from Miri :D:D oh oh And ying and many other ppl from malaysia! Im so excited about tomorrow cause going to SolidRock which is like OCF. So exciting~ Gonna meet more people :D
Apart from all that, i really cant wait to come back to Brunei. I'm already planning things to do with my friends. Going to KK for family reunion, Christmas, Moms birthday, uncles wedding, New Years and our last proper gathering before everyone leaves for good :(. Yes and soon after that ill be leaving on the 5th of Jan. Not much free time to do anything else. I think my heart will always be set in Brunei. Thats my home. I never thought i would be missing it, before i was so happy i was leaving now I'm not too sure. Hopefully ill come back and work there. Or work in Singapore. I wouldn't mind working in Singapore for a while actually, and Brunei is so near so i can always pop back into Brunei whenever im missing it :D hee hee. I might consider doing an exchange program to Singapore next year for a semester. We'll see what my parents say about it ;)
Okay so this is just a summary of whats been happening, i know its a bit of a 'today i did...blah blha blha' type of post.. ta ta~

Fresher's Week has just gone by and i have caught the freshers flu. Yes my boogers are yellow. Been so busy with meetings and had two full days of workshops with Ted Cullinian. Met a few friends along the way. We were divided into 8 teams, we then had to design a Judo building and then make videos of our stages. It was okay wasnt so fun, when the Postgraduates were mainly designing and making the decisions.
Also im booked for the weekend. Apparently before i started uni i had to two assignments to do. First is a drawing exercise, self portrait of me. Secondly, come up with 8 panels, each representing points in my life which have changed me and made me the person i am today. Interesting but i dont see how thats got anything to do with architecture. I only found out on Monday -_- and also i had to read a book! Sheesh apparently my letter got lost.
Me and Eva. Freaky looking dude at the back, reminds me of a zombie for some reason.

Yao, Priscilla and Eva
