Stop, Drop & Roll

0 comments
It's time yet for another update on this nearly deserted blog. How's everyone doing? University life had been hectic for the past couple of weeks but recently the coursework season is upon us and I'm off again. But who knew it is through this insanity that I've discovered so many surprising things. Like they say, life is just filled with surprises. Things just simply catch you off guard in life.

Beat It

0 comments
It's been a while... but things have finally starting to pick up its pace. University life is slowly creeping into my life as I type this. Hectic is what I expected even before I stepped both my feet into the grounds of this insitution but who knew this is going to be like this.

I'm not complaining about it. As ironic and weird this would sound like, I love this. Being busy most of the time I mean. The only thing I have to fix is my sleeping schedule. I NEED to sleep properly. The whole caffeine issue is starting to find its way into my life and settling down day by day.

Sighs. Need to manage my time.

After a meaningful talk with a certain someone recently, I've been reminded again of the things I'm supposed to be doing. And I have to constantly remind myself that. Though I have to say progress is in the making. I think...

On a lighter note, my baby Shannon have not been abandoned since I've arrived. In fact, it's never been so busy before. Here are some of the amazing moments I've caught with Shannon.

My Moon My Man

Wanted to upload these for a LONG time but procrastinated... >.<
I took these photographs about a month ago. This was taken on the balcony of my house. It's actually the full moon with a circle which seem to surround the moon and the star next to it.

7th Symphony

Though I never thought I would be posting something this personal... but my hands are itching to write for days since I haven't written any stories for weeks now... Plus, there's nothing to write but this... ;)

As worried as I could be for induction on Saturday, there was no way out of it but to march straight into it. So, with a list of main reasons why I'm a nervous wreck the days before I was glad to find out today that I woke up on time, found the lecture hall without getting lost, met new friends, etc. It was better than I could ever thought it would go.

Though, after today's experience which was tiring but nice, I've come to a conclusion that there's another worry. My compulsory subjects. There are 5 for my course and though this is not confirmed, 2 more other subjects to fulfil the required credits. The reason for it being unconfirmed is because there are only 20 spaces available to all students in the university to sign on for the 2 subjects I've picked. So, on the following Monday, I have to go and register for them and hope that I could get in. Why am I so desperate you may want to know. This is because the limited subjects offered for us to take range from the pure sciences (requiring you to have taken pure sciences in A Levels), computer science, business & economics, and pharmacy. The area I've chosen is Cultural Studies and Languages. So, wish me luck for Monday! :S

But to go back on a lighter note, I've wanted to mention this, the administration building of the university which has a clock tower on top of it (apparently it is the uni's signature). This particular added feature to the building made me instead of referring it as the Admin building, I ended up calling it "The Clock Tower." Just like it is from Back to the Future. It simply reminds me so much of that. :P

Also, I managed to do some exploring and even though before I did this, I already made up my mind to go around the place to photograph it with my baby Shannon. But after walking around tonight, I've realized that there's this particular spot which is surrounded by all the different blocks for the different faculties is the perfect spot to simply look up to the sky and watch the moon and stars. I've never felt that the sky is so vast and magnificent in all its glorious form at night time.

Having said all of this, all I can wish for now is to be able to cope with my new subjects, mingle around more, learn new things & try not to be too stress.


Oh and look what I received on Twitter on Friday night... It surprised the hell out of me. I went O.O


That's the guy from the Harry Potter movies who portrays George Weasley. Lol.

That's it really... it's late... brain isn't really functioning properly... lol.
