UTRECHT!

I'm in UTRECHT!! Bwahaha...

And I'm paying 1.75 Euro for 30min of internet... #*%^*($@... I have only 7 min left so I'll make this quick and painless... Well.. Quick anyhow.

Went through Edinburgh and London to get here. London is as crowded as ever, and the air is filthy. I swear just after a day in London, your snot turns a fantastic grey colour.

Apparently KS was in Edinburgh just after I left! What a coincidence... She saw my signature in the Museum of Childhood guestbook..

Ok.. The thingy has just warned me that I have only 5 minutes left. So I shall end here and say more when I return to Aberdeen.

Tata for now then...

News is, there will definitely be a strike on Thursday. There will be a strike followed by an assesment boycott. But since only a small percentage of the lecturers here are actually members of the union that's striking, the only way we'll find out if we have classes is to show up as usual and see if our lecturers show up as well... (-_^)

Looking for...

Hmm... If somebody could tell me how to find the song "Go GO Heaven" from that 80's anime City Hunter...

Oh.. And...

So far no more news about this apparent strike... But from what I hear, if they do implement a strike, it's going to be an assessment strike. Meaning that the lecturers will just refuse to mark coursework and papers but will continue teaching as normal. This means bad news for people who are supposed to graduate in the summer.

Hmm...

Siew Mai wa Tensai nan da!!!

First I want to complain about this lack of Asian language capabilities on the school computers... I tried to d/l microsoft's own IME for Chinese and Japanese into my student drive but it wouldn't allow me... (T_T)

Now, I want to gloat.
*evil gloat*
Hohoho!! (^o^)

When it comes to most mechanical calculations and algebra, I beat the guys in my study group... Hohohoho!! (^o^)v

During my Monday tutorial for Applied Mechanics and Structures, I was probably the only one or one of two or three people who actually managed to finish the worksheet before class. And I got all the answers correct. HOHOHOHOHO!!!!

Ok... I finished gloating...

Segali my study groupmates find this... Kaoz.. sure die...

STRIKE!!!!!

Maybe.

Possibly.

Vice-principal of the university even sent out an e-mail to the university population to do some preliminary damage control.

All I can say is... O.M.G.

Finally! Some excitement...

Siew Mai Balaku

I got balaku on my head... (T_T) Had a minor disagreement with the wall...

Try and picture this all in your heads ok? The bathroom in my flat is inbetween Joanne's and my room. Now the flat's shared telephone, is on the wall between my room and the bathroom. Ok so far? Now one particular day, 2 days ago, Joanne got a call on the flat phone and took the phone into her room for more privacy. So the phone cable was now stretched across the corridor into her room, meaning that it was also stretched across the entrance to the bathroom. Are you picturing all this yet? Now I wanted to take a shower, but obviously I can't just walk through the wire. So, as all my flatmates and I do very often (i.e. everytime J has a phonecall), I bent down to go under the wire and

WHACK!!!

It took me a while to realise that I'd miscalculated where the wall was... I didn't even know I'd hit the wall until at least 5 seconds later...

So yes... I now have a balaku on the left side of my forehead... (T_T)

Your Personality Is

Guardian (SJ) You are sensible, down to earth, and goal oriented. Bottom line, you are good at playing by the rules. You tend to be dominant - and you are a natural leader. You are interested in rules and order. Morals are important to you. A hard worker, you give your all at whatever you do. You're very serious, and people often tell you to lighten up. In love, you tend to take things carefully and slowly. At work, you are suited to almost any career - but you excel in leadership positions. With others, you tend to be polite and formal. As far as looks go, you are traditionally attractive. You take good care of yourself. On weekends, you tend to like to do organized activities. In fact, you often organize them!

The Three Question Personality Test

I agree with everything except the part about being attractive and taking care of myself...

Exchange?? To Where Sia...

Been looking up the exhange programmes that are available in the university. It's so limited, I can't believe it. It seems that they only have an exchange programme to certain universities and colleges in North America and Canada... I couldn't find any information about exchanges to Europe or other parts of Asia. I heard last year that they were about to start a programme to China and Hong Kong, but there was no information available about that in the website.

Sigh.

Belated Wishes

ARGH!

In the midst of everything I actually forgot to wish all everyone who reads this blog a "Happy Chinese New Year"...

Is ok... Not the 15th day yet... still got time... SO..

Happy Chinese New Year Everyone!!!

Arrgh.. ok.. gtg for class now... cya laterzz...

Happy Chinese New Year!!

Indeed indeed. Had homemade jiaozi at Bai Yu's place last night. Stuffed to the max. But it was good. Anyhow, some long due updates...

Well. London was fun, as you could probably tell from all my photos. There really is a lot to see. I guess in a way it was the right choice not to go to London. I would've been too distracted knowing that there was so much to do. All the same, I can't help but wonder what it would've been like.

Going to have steamboat tomorrow with my flatmates. Dunno how that's going to turn out. I haven't bought any ingredients yet. My excuse is that for steamboat the stuff has to be fresh. So I shall go out and buy the stuff after class tomorrow. I should end at 12pm. I don't think my tutorials are starting yet, considering that we haven't even had any lessons on applied mechanics or electronics. Well... Hope all will turn out well. Don't think I'm going to try anything fancy anyway. The pot I borrowed from Bai Yu is quite small, and I'm on a budget. London has already put me at least £100 over limit.

Oooooh.... Shopping! Went shopping yesterday. Yes I know... I just complained that I was over-budget. But the post-christmas sales here are really wonderful!! Yesterday I got 2 blouses at £1 each and also 2 jackets for £10!! The jackets were going as buy-one-get-one-free!! The cheapest clothes item was free so I kinda got a 100% discount on the second jacket. Isn't that exciting?? I also saw skirts going for 50p. It was madness.

Tomorrow I start classes again. It's such madness. They don't seem to have after-exam breaks in this place unless it's after the entire academic year. I was lucky this time because I only had 2 papers and they both finished within the first week of exams. I don't even know when the results are coming out.

Gah. Last night before term starts again. And I haven't done anything to commemorate it. I should... I should....

I should sleep early. Got to wake up for 10am lecture... Rrrr..

I Never Exaggerate Ok...

Ah-HA!!

As it turns out.. The author Stuart MacBride is the twin brother of my flatmate's brother-in-law...

Ahhh... Hmmm... Ok... Lots of contradictory results here... But what I want to know is how the hell did I score 67% for Philosophy?!??!?!

Free!

Ok. I'm done for my share of exams of the 1st term.

Physics was actually quite good. It was easier than I expected. It helped that 2 of the long questions that came out were repeated for the last 3 years. The only thing that changed was the numbers, so I just chose to do those for my section B (had to choose 2 out of 3). Section A was all the basic stuff, so that was ok.

In other words, I think I did ok. (^_^)

Going down to London tonight!! I can't wait!! It's going to be so exciting. Of course, most of the time I'll just be following Minna around, since I've never been and have absolutely no idea of my way around. I will take lots of photos and post them on flickr. Hmm... Come to think of it... Did I ever put up my photos of Glasgow and Edinburgh?? I can't remember. But knowing me... I probably didn't. Ooops... Right will find a day to post them up.

Been wondering how to spend Chinese New Year here... Thought of having a little steamboat thingy in the flat but while I've found out where to get a steamboat/hotpot, I haven't been able to find one of those little portable electric/gas stove thingys... Plus, one of the girls is vegetarian... Hmmmm.... Maybe will just make big huge chili crab dish minus crab. I brought the Prima mix from home. Why minus crab? Well.... Despite the fact that we live right next to the North sea, seafood isn't exactly running all over the place. I'd probably have to make do with prawns and other little shellfish, which aren't that cheap. So much for maritime. Oh well... Will figure that out after I come back from London. Heeeheee.... London!!

Boohoohooo.... I still miss the anime that I burned but can never watch.... (T_T)
