~ flirting with my mind ~

I just realised that my post for the past few months are all about me and what I mostly did in my life, but nothing from what I get from it. Well, I think I have to keep searching and reflect it back.

~ exam and new term ~

fuh!! exam was fine, quite hard but alright, wish i study more. really, i wish i study more of it, hopefully i 'll learn my lesson to study early and study more for my next exam. hopefully, the results will be fine and i past all my papers.

day after exam, i went to Bristol to enjoy before the start of term. the initial plan is to go eat, because a friend of mine said there's lot of Halal food there, but we spend the day walking around Bristol City. it's so big! the clifton suspension bridge, the must-see attraction in Bristol is on top of a hill so we have to climb a very steep hill, my legs and back ached. since we went there on sunday, there are no sunday service bus in the city (we didn't know!!) so we have to use our foot to go around or taxi. overall, the trip was great and i really enjoy it. that's the point right!

last week is the first week of term, so class started as usual. i just have 3 modules this term, so hopefully not too busy as last year. therefore, i planned to use all the extra hours to study more (new year resolution!) really need to study hard this term as this is my final term. i started working as a babysitter as well this term, ooh baby! i'm very nervous that day because i never change a nappies before, and luckily the baby i care for, Farouq, didn't need nappy change the time i care for him. but he cried the whole morning because he doesn't like me! well, he didn't know me yet. crying then sleeping in my arm, woke up and cried again then sleep then woke up and cried again. i got him watched me eat my lunch and he stop crying. now, don't say i'm cruel or what for not feeding him, i offered (not my food, his baby food) and he don't want to eat. Until his mum got home, then he want to smile. see, he doesn't like me!

oh, on saturday i went to Exmouth and Sidmouth. it's a very nice and exciting excursion! at least this time around i'm covering Devon area instead of outside of Devon and it's cheaper too. well, i planned to go to Dartmoor later but still not sure when, i'll keep it in the planner.

ai-na : how wonderful to go around places, just if you have enough money!

~snow, holiday and study for exam~

what a great winter in Exeter! so much snow this year, i'm having lots of fun playing in the snow and building snowman. i'm so glad i bought my hiking boots because of the thick snow, compare to last year. see my snow man, the name Abu!
oh yeah, winter means holiday as well, that means study weeks and exam is around the corner! oh my, i haven't started anything yet!!! well, since the snow are quite heavy, lots of travel route including the airports are closed. i just went to Plymouth last week and our train being delayed. but i like snow so i don't mind much unless you thought of going somewhere.

well, i got 3 exam and 1 test, hopefully will do well in all of it.

ai-na : study plan has been drawn but...

~busy-ness~

who's the busiest in the world? bees of course! why? cant you hear? they alway buzzing 'busy, busy, busy' hahaha
yeah, very lame, i know! these 2 weeks are the most busiest for me, because of the assignments and test. i barely can handle it! well, hopefully everything went well.

ai-na : 1 done, 2 more to go..

~assignments!!!~

sick, sick and sick again! it has been weeks now but i'm still having flu. my week has been very interesting and very busy. lots of assignments and presentation. but still i'm enjoying my days, i've been to nottingham again few weeks back and last week been to stonehenge and bath.


oh, last sunday we have raya celebration with lots and lots of food. by the way, my list of place to go have decrease by 1 place and increase by 1 place! i want to go to grand central station in US!


ai-na : start working now..bye!

~ finally, hello to the world! ~

I am happy and satisfied now that I can connect to the world. Finally after 3 weeks of using mobile internet and carrying laptop to campus just for the sake of connection. Now I can access all lecture notes at home! But I'm a bit frustrated at my printer because the cartridges that I bought are not compatible with it. It's kind of weird since before I can use it perfectly well. Now I think it just back going to campus to print out stuff before my printer become usable again for dont know how long.
A lot has happened since the last time I blogged. Been very sick last week. Caught a cold and flu as well as fever, still not so well now. The thing about seeing a doctor because you're sick here is so ridiculous. You have to make an appointment to see a doctor, and by the time of your appointment you're fine already! If you did manage to see the doctor, they usually prescribe you a paracetamol which they require you to buy at the pharmacy. Dont you think that we can be our own doctor and just eat panadol when you feel ill? Just a bit of advice, if you are traveling or studying abroad, do not forget to bring a stash of medicine especially for fever, cold and flu. Panadol will do as well as other ointment you deem necessary.
Other than that, everything works quite well. Well, I am a bit disappointed in people in general who cannot look beyond what was being written and told by the media about what happened around the world. They keep trying to generalise others based on religion, races and such. Hello people, I dont have bombs in my pocket!!! Sometimes it get annoying and just want to say out loud, this is enough! You are being blamed because of other people wrongdoings, just because you're in the same religion. What will you react when I say, arent your religion and the people who follow it are terrorist as well? Look what happen in Northern Ireland! Look at the illegal occupation and discrimination in Palestine, who actually control the war there? Dont just assume based on what you heard or read, because it may not be the truth. People do stuff like that partly because they are misguided or thought that they are doing the right thing, in reality it is not and actually affect other people.
Rambling! Study has turned to difficult now, need a lot more concentration. Seriously, this term will be very busy! My goal, not to gain weight! and manage time efficiently.

ai-na : having problem with tutorial assignment!!!

~new term, new season, new resolution~

The greens has already turn brown and red, the sign of death, but they are not going to die, they just going to sleep. A very interesting phenomenon, MasyaAllah!
I have settled in quite well in the new house, like it very much. I got a brand new kitchen, who would not like it! The distance to school doesnt change much from my previous house, so i think it will be fine, i'm going to be fine. Oh please dont skip classes anymore! This term i got quite a packed timetable because i'm doing 5 modules, so it will be a bit straining for me. But i'm trying my best now so i will get more relaxed timetable next term since the modules then will be more challenging, not that the modules this term isnt, just! Oh yes, i'm practically spend a lot this few weeks. Not as much as last year but still a lot. Books, bags, groceries and some stuff for the house. Oh, by the way i got a brand new device. Gone now the overly sensitive Satio and come now BB Curve. I so like it very much because its not that sensitive and very practical. I'm still learning how to use all the application that come with it and very happy with it too. Just not that excited about the fact that the camera is just 2 megapixel compared to Satio of 12.1 megapixel. Well, that's the opportunity cost for me ;p Well then, since i've been dreaming and wishing to get Nikon D3000 DSLR, i'm not that disappointed. I just have to save up and keep wishing someone want to give it to me for free! As a present perhaps, right?
I need to make a move now, need to go to city centre. Right now i'm in Law Library, partly studying, partly utilising the chance to use Wi-Fi in campus. So I'm off!

ai-na : stress out because of lack of connection to the world at home! Please be quick 19th Oct!!!
