True Love

1. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.

我愛你不是因為你是誰,而是我在你面前可以是誰。

2. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.

沒有男人或女人是值得你為他流眼淚,值得的那一位,不會要你哭。

3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

那人不是你所想般愛你,但不代表那人不是全心全意地愛你。

4. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.

一個真正的朋友是向著你伸手,觸動你心靈的人。

5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.

掛念一個人最差的方式,就是你坐在他身旁,而知道你不能擁有他。

6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.

就算你不快樂也不要皺眉,因為你永不知道誰會愛上你的笑容。

7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

在世界裡你可能只是某人,但對某人你可能是全世界。

8. Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.

不要花時間在一個不會花時間在你身上的人。

9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.

可能神要我們在遇到那位對的人之前先遇上一些錯的人,讓我們遇到那位對先生/對小姐時懂得珍惜。

10. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.

不要因為完結而哭,要為曾經發生而微笑。

11. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.

這個世界永遠也會有一些傷害你的人,你要做的就是繼續去信人和小心你下次信的人。

12. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.

在你嘗試了解其他人和盼望其他人明白你之前,先把你自己變成一個更好的人和了解你自己。

13. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.

Warwick castle

The last trip that i will be joining with ah choy( our senior) is to Warwick castle. After that will stay at home and concentrate on my studies and assignment .

The journey to Warwick castle took us around 3 hours. I woke up early in the morning to fried rice ( with bacon and lamb) for my lunch . Look nice ?? I got a teacher who teaches me how to cook fried rice(thank you very much)...=P

Finally, we reach Warwick castle. I always saw castle from movies such as harry potter, Lord of the Rings...etc..i was so curious of how the castle look from inside. Castle is a very romantic place where king and queen , prince and princess stay happily ever after. ( haha, shd stop day dreaming..) I still rmb the show "Enchanted" where there is no happily ever after but happily never after. This is the entrance of Warwick castle
Wow, it looks magnificent from the outside. I wish my house can be as big as the castle. Then i can rare a lot of animals and i can change bedroom every night.Its actually a real sword and very heavy.I'm wearing a clown hat which look ridiculous but my friend say i looks cute...Me and Siew Hsia in Warwick castle...
Those were the events i saw in Warwick castle. Some of the events are quite boring, they talk more than they act and their British accent are hard to understand. The most interesting events is the "birds of prey". There are many types of birds such as owl, eagle which are used in old times to deliver message .
The beautiful scenery surrounding Warwick castle. I can't even stop taking photos whenever i go. Haha, i end up with 2gb of photos just on a day trip to Warwick castle.

When i went in , i really get freak out when i saw those statues. It really looks like a real people. Every1 know that i'm really scared of dark and ghost. When i see those statue, i keep thinking of a movie called "House of Wax". I scared they will suddenly move and look at me. Especially the place is quite dark...haha, i know i'm a coward. Luckily my friend didn't scared me, if not i sure will scream then sure very embarrass.

Finally, its already 5pm and i'm on my way back to Sheffield. I'm so tired and i slept and thru the whole journey back. Overall, i was satisfied with the trip. Nice scenery, nice weather, and its quite entertaining with all those summer events.
Next time i hope to go to Alnwick Castle, where harry potter film were shot (I'm a great fan of Harry potter ) ....

Celebration

2day is the last presentation with my group members. After that we will be changing another group again...

During lecture, Mr John had let us watch a movie regarding report writing. Actually report writing seems easy, we just need to follow the few steps.
  1. Objective
  2. Organize the points into related group
  3. Identify the 4P ( position, problems, probability, and proposal)
  4. Try to avoid jargon and use plain english, short paragraph and short sentences
  5. Use heading and subheading. Have clear spacing , layout and margins.
  6. Package the report by using summary, reference and bibliography.
Seems easy rite..But i need to wait til i really asked to write a report only i will discover whether it is easy or hard.

Around 1.30pm, our presentation is going to start. I'm getting nervous as i'm the second presenter. We arrived early and manage to watch the previous group presenting (made me more nervous, should not do that another time). I always have stage fright when i'm presenting and will tend to speak fast and forget what i'm going to present. During my presentation, i was really upset as the lecture didn't pay attention to what i'm saying and just do their things. ( Izzit my presentation style is not attractive enough or they are actually listening??) Finally , at the end of the presentation, we were ask question by the two lectures, and guess what, we can't even answer one . They ask about the future cash flow of the company, will it able to continue operating in the next year? and they even ask about the item in the balance sheet..(Wow, the worst thing is we do not have the balance sheet beside us and the lend us their balance sheet..)
We really didn't prepare well for this presentation. This is the worst presentation in my whole life..=(

Finally, we finish our presentation and decided to treat ourself ...We went to noodle inn for lunch (and also dinner)
Special mee
Hmm..forgot what the dish called..but it taste delicious.
My group member ( from left, wei yien, soksan, lee sien, me and sook chin)Free compliment of dessert ( red bean soup)

This is the tastiest food since i come to Uk and mayb in Malaysia, i heard the chef is from hong kong. Haha, the food made me forgot bout my presentation.

The Snow Queen


Recently when i was surfing thru youtube, i saw a movie called "Snow Queen". At first i thought it was a movie for children as it was shot based on Hans Christian Andersen's story. So i was watching it while doing my assignment and didn;t pay much attention to it...Until i heard the soundtrack of the movie-->"The Two of Us Will Always be One" by Jim Guttridge. This song is really nice which made me starting to pay attention to the movie ...( made me stay up late to finish my assignment ..hehe)

The story was about the love between Kal and Greda and they had faced many obstacles before they were able to be 2gether. Kal is kidnapped by the snow queen and in order for Greda to rescue Kal, she need to pass through spring, summer and autumn season before she will be able to reach the snow queen. Winter is always reflected as cold and lonely.Therefore , the snow queen wanted more power to rule the world until only winter season exist.

However, love is magical, and true love can't be separated..Greda finally battled the wicked snow queen in order to save the man she loves. The story is really touching at the end and will watch it again after i fully completed my assignment..
We need to cherish every movement with your love ones and will break every obstacles faced together and like the songs title ...The two of us will always be one.


The two of us will always be one
Common pictures of the fallen years
Distant memories that are filled with tears
Just remember when a dream appears
The one that loses is filled with fear
It doesn't matter if its sun or rain
We'll be searching for a sliver plain
After all that is said and done
The two of us will always be one
I manage to find the song and i like it very much until i keep on repeating it these few days...It is a truly recommended movie, hope every1 will like it. That all for today, need to start study my corporate finance..

Gambade!! Jia You !!

When i was surfing through the web, i saw a phrase that i think is very touching...
"Don't ever give up if you still wan to try, don't ever wipe your tears if you still want to cry. Don't ever settle for an answer if you still want to know. Don't ever say you don't love him if you can't let go."

We should not give up easily until we had try our best...even if we try our best and we fail, we should not be upset or disappointed as we already did the best we can. I always have this feeling when i receive my results for examination or assignments.

Tomorrow im goin to have presentation, i will try my best and will not give up easily.
GAMBADE!!!
" If you think you can, you can "

LIfe in UK

Without noticing , i had been in UK for alomst a month. Time passes very fast... I was thinking , what had i done when i was in UK , is there any different from Malaysia?
For the past month, i rmb that i was always busy with assignment and discussion. Other than that is busy for trip to Cambridge, Stonehenge and Liverpool...The people i meet and the ppl i communicate with is usually tarcian which is nothing different from Malaysia. I think the only different is the weather, which keep on changing. From sunny to cloudy, from cloudy to raining , and from raining to sunny again. There is a rumors on english man...when they cant find any topic during conversation, they normally will relate to the weather. Finally, now i can understand why ...=)
Then this weekend i will be going to warwick castle...Seems like i don't have the time to spend a weekend resting in my room. Hope i got the chance to rest in the next few weeks..=)

Stonehenge

Last Saturday , i went to Stonehenge which is one of the wonders in the world...I wonder how they are able to carry the stone from so far away, maybe they have modern technology but already extinct..and what is the purpose of building the Stonehenge . Some people say that it is a graveyard, some say that it is built by alien..Until now, it is still a mystery. But, many pieces of the stone is gone ( either it is moved away or being stolen by visitors
This is the actual picture of Stonehenge...Too bad that i can only see the Stonehenge from far away and didn't get to touch the stone.After spending around 2 hours at Stonehenge, we went to Salisbury which is located 30 minutes from Stonehenge. This is the famous cathedral (Salisbury St. Mary's Cathedral)I spend most of the time taking photos on the cathedral as it is the main attractions in Salisbury. Later on the way back to the bus, i saw this interesting thing...Does it look like a turtle and a dragon hugging ? Hehe..If u can think of anything , please leave yr comment..
Overall, the trip is quite tiring as the journey to Stonehenge needs around 4 hours. I think i spend 8 hours sitting in the bus.
But i was able to see one of the wonders of the world, which is worth the trip...

My dining room

After one whole busy week, finally it’s Friday. I am starting to get tired of the non-stop assignment. Today, the “ang mo” at my hostel finally moved out, but they left a lot of rubbish (food, magazine, etc…). I and my housemate spend the whole afternoon cleaning up the kitchen. However, we managed to find a lot of frozen food and cooked it for dinner (fries and chicken nugget). Later when we keep the dining room, we manage to find some decoration for party (i.e. party banner and light). I suggest that we hang up those decorations to make our kitchen more cheerful.

Looking at those decorations made me feel pleased and feeling closer to home. I miss my home a lot. I miss the food, my bed, my cat – Fluffy, my dog - Elmo, and my parents …

I sat in the dinning room for few minutes staring at the wall. Then I went back to my room and prepare for my things to Stonehenge trip tomorrow…


I'm Lost ....

This morning, i went for Financial Decision Making (FDM) lecture. Our lecturer had taught us about reflective writing. Reflective writing is like writing a diary which describes our feelings. The lecture had mention a phrase which i think is very true..."when you stand in front of the mirror, you will see nothing but only yourself." and this is what reflective writing is all about. He also describe human as an acorn. When an acorn fell to the ground, it has two consequences. Whether it will be pluck and eaten or it will turn out to be an oak tree. Therefore, in our life, either we will be successful in the future or we will become a normal person.
Then i started to think ...do i understand about myself , do i know what i want and do i know what i would like to be in the future ?? Then I only notice that I do not have a sense of direction. I’m lost….

Cambridge

After one week arriving in Sheffield, I sign up for my first trip which is Cambridge. The trip cost £14 that only includes transportation fees. Cambridge is a city of university and the most famous university is University of Cambridge. But University of Cambridge has no campus as its university is scatted around Cambridge. We started our journey at 7.30am at Charlotte court and arrived at Cambridge around 10.30am.

When i arrived at Cambridge, we were lead for punting tour at River Cam which cost £4 per person. By taking punting trip, i was able to see the whole city of Cambridge through the river. We got pass through Mathematical Bridge, Queens’ College, Clare College, Trinity College, St.John’s College and Bridge of Sighs. The punting trip takes around 20 minutes but i need to wait for around 1 hour until our turn. However, it is worth taking the trip as we are able to look at the city from different point of view.

The next stop, i went to visit museum which are Zoology museum, Sedgwick museum of Geology and Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology. Zoology museum contains collection of Zoological specimens used for teaching and research. There are displays of marine invertebrates, exotic birds and mammal skeletons, included within a survey of the animal kingdom. It is quite an interesting museum to visit, however i have only 15 minutes to browse through due to waiting for punting trip. I just manage to take photos with those interesting animals such as dinosaurs, preserved animals.

After having a quick lunch ( bread), i went to The Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences. In the museum, there are many fossils, rocks and minerals from around the world and explore more than 550 million years of Earth's history. There were fossils from the age of dinosaurs, marine world, minerals such as crystal and jade and local geology (i.e. volcano, earth).

Later i stop by at market place to buy some souvenir. There got sell a lot of fruits, souvenir, local products, sweets, nuts and many more. I bought some postcards and magnet. Next, i head down to St. John College which is just a stone throw away from market place. The entrance fee for student is £1.70. I was given a map for us to tour around the college. There are three court altogether, which contains accommodation, lectures hall, dining hall. By passing through the river, i was able to see the bridge of sighs. It is a covered bridge which look charming and romantic. The whole tour around St. John College takes us round 2 hours.

Without noticing, it was already 4.30 pm and i need to arrive at bus stop by 4.45pm. I have only 15 minutes to reach the bus stop. Due to time constraints, i decided to take the short cut road back to bus station . However, i lost the way and past through a lot of shopping complex with lots of discount. I should have come here for shopping earlier....

but back to the point, i couldn't find the way to bus station and ask some of the local people for direction. Luckily , when i reach the bus stop , the bus is still waiting for us ...it was already 5.10pm

On the journey back, i was too tired and i slept through the whole journey. When i was awake , i already reach Charlotte court which was 7.30 pm ...

The trip was quite interesting and tiring ...i was impress with the architecture of the buildings and history of the college. I couldn't wait for my next trip which is Liverpool ..
