A Nott er f-ew da-ys has gone….

…And my net still has not changed one Byte !! I actually have quite a number of pictures I’ve taken here and there with my phone but It’s just not possible to upload pictures here even so my blog is gonna be kind of dull but I will do what I can to keep it afloat. This internet is really unstable. Uploading is sometimes possible but it just hangs there all the time. Maybe I don’t have enough patience. Somehow after some time I’ve been able to put pictures.. So if my posts have me complaining at some point, don’t worry bout that if there are pictures. :)

On Wednesday my classes were as usual but after the last class I waited for the bus. However I decided to go in and retrieve some money from the ATM machine and buy a book(business Law). Thanks to that book, I missed the bus and had to walk home which took about 15 minutes which wasn’t so bad because the weather was actually rather cooling that day. So I decided to take a few snapshots along the way home.This was the start of the shortcut bridge that leads back home.From here you can see the bridge.. Until you really reach the bridge….It actually has quite a nice scenery to it.All around is actually a mini-swamp kind of place. where the grass grows tall and the water is murky brown. Probably snakes somewhere hiding. Something different. Yeah.. this is what it looks like with water below.. After this place I stopped taking pictures because I was afraid I would be the target of snatch Thieves. you never know this Country.. phew..

But knowing people like me being resourceful, we decided to chill, eat some fruits I brought from Home(PJ) and watch HOLY !@#% on AXN . Yup, they have a TV with ASTRO in their house.. Football on weekends leh !!! Later we decided to go to town and eat more stuff at Restoran Wang Li. Food was okay I guess, Nothing Special. just Yee Mee.

BBBzzZzZzZz(static sound) – Thursday was I had no classes but I went to campus to have my lunch with Leon. Over there, I met an British 2nd year student named Greg, quite a friendly dude. Upon reaching there, we realised there was NO food left. Quite the crappy coz the only food they had left was the Western Food (which to me kinda sucks big time). Seriously, it’s just like a school canteen food. Cooking the patty and the bread and just putting together. You get your Burger! and they don’t even have CHEESE. what a Blasphemy to burgers! But since I was so hungry, It didn’t matter whether the food sucked or not. It was still food. We also met a few of our Coursemates after we ordered our food.

Later went home and the 3 of us were suppose to have SALAD for dinner at my friends place down the road ( One of them was from Taman SEA too). The 2 of them were apparently pretty geng chefs. The previous day we ate at their RENTed HOUSE along with our new Housemate (name’s Charlie). Had a bit of a miscommunication and as a result his parents were tagging along. So we almost had not enough food to eat. But the food was enough in the end. Although we didn’t fill out stomachs to the rim. One funny thing I saw at their place was this drawer filled with …. food stuff! My friends said it belong to a Kazakhstan couple staying with them. During CHOWtime they will take out the plate filled with raisins, nuts, and apricots and place it on the table. What an interesting thing to do.

But knowing people like me being resourceful, we decided to chill, eat some fruits I brought from Home(PJ) and watch HOLY !@#% on AXN. There was a guys which goes by the name of DICK something, my friend would laugh like crazy just by listening to that name. Yup, they have a TV with ASTRO in their house.. Football on weekends leh !!! Later we decided to go to town and eat more stuff at Restoran Wang Li. Food was okay I guess, Nothing Special. just Yee Mee.Later on, we decided to go to the cyber cafe and check it out.. WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT!!! NO COUNTERSTRIKE… WHAT THE HECK IS THIS ULU PLACE WEI… I just couldn’t believe it. Oh well, played abit of DOTA.. Don’t ever ask me to play. I only play cos everybody wants to play. Will Blog more soon.. It’s getting LATE now. 2am here on a chilly sunday morning. Will blog later when I wake up.. ciaoz..

SLOWWWWWWzzzzzzzz…….

Well, this is regarding my Internet connection. Man people going overseas enjoying 4-10 times faster than streamyx 1.0/2.0 mbps… Here in Semenyih, I am facing an even worse connection with only 384 kbps.. wtheck leh.. I can hardly upload pictures into my photobucket so I think my blogs will be slow, but I will do my best to keep it floating. Worse of all is can’t play STARCRAFT with the OUTSIDE WORLD aka my friends and families overseas.. sob sob.. well I guess complaining will not do anything. Action must be taken!!! man..I’ve waited 5 minutes for my photobucket, and I still haven’t logged in.. OMG.. HELP ME please, sigh..

I f t h i s g o e s o n , I d o n ‘ t t h i n k I c a n b l o g …. GG :(

the price : shit.. Pricey at RM 60 per pax on weekends.this is just one of my dishes , yamss….

Later at night went for badminton and table tennis. Now I gotta go .. Tired and fed up with the slow connection.. sigh.. this are a few pics I managed to upload. see ya soon. Classes start tomorrow.

Before I started…

I’m going back to the past basically cos i have some pics i can use so i’ll use it.. rawr!!! Not too long ago, I bought a Keyboard for myselft, Saitek Eclipse II. It’s good.. trust me, actually even if it’s not good for what I paid, it’s good.. hah, kidding. It costs RM200+ by the way. It has a silver border with rubberized feet for better grip and the keys are all spaced out pretty well. Typing is also very quiet. NICE!

The best part is it illuminates with 3 different colour settings. The letters on the keys are laser etched. Cool EH!!! check this out, I think it goes nice with my Razer Krait. It goes nicer when it’s red. Well, the pics are kind of blurry cos i’m not good at it. Still learning slowly.

Haha, I brought all this to Semenyih with me. but I do not always use the keyboard. Unless I am playing or doing alot of typing. Then on the Saturday b4 i left for UNMC, I went for Msia WCG 07. to play!!! can you believe that? I played Starcraft.Well, of course I got my ass kicked but I know I didn’t play my best. Well nice to see so many STARCRAFT gamers out there still.

Well, Kahyang, my friend and I did have fun though.. We watched the stage match Malaysia vs Vietnam for starcraft. quite an interesting game, thing to see in such a big screen.. Felt like those Koreans who watch Starcraft as a national sport.. amazing!

courtesy of my friend Han Sheng although it was not very clear but thnx!!

The event was a good experience for me. Let’s me know how many awesome players there are out there.

Think I shud end here, still got quite alot of things to write b4 I left but can’t talk about all..

from University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus!

hi.. andrew here, just wanna start blogging again. life in semenyih can be damn boring you know.. So at least this keeps my mind of things. I’ve just started my uni life in University of Nottingham Semenyih Campus or (UNMC). This has been my 3rd day and almost everything is going well. B4 I continue, I know some people will be wondering.. I’m sure this site will surely go inactive after a few months. That may be true so that’s those who read give some comments maybe then this site won’t be so dead =).

First day moving in to my new home for probably the nxt 3 years was quite exciting or so to speak. Almost my whole family went down with me (since it’s just semenyih not UK). I actually haven’t gotten a picture of the house yet, but

this is what the gatehouse of my housing area looks like.. at night the barricades will be made in a way u will have to drive S to get in. This is also where I wait for the shuttle bus to pick me up from home to uni. My house is currently being shared by 4 people . Two of them are my friends and the landlord. It’s a privately owned house. The rental is more affordable than the accommodations the company has prepared. Washing machine, Good water pump, few people staying, simple friendly landlord (who reads naruto!), nice rooms. ah.. luxury.. compared to the prison size rooms in campus.. haha!!! There will be 1 more Sarawakian student coming in this weekend.

Well, this is a picture of the university clock tower and administrative building from inside the campus. The plac is kind of new, only opened in 2005. Damn, this place sure is nice.. away from city life. Fresh Air…

Some events that went on from Monday till Friday. Ice Breaker, Pool Party which was quite interesting, Treasure Hunt, Clubbing night, and a concert. I’ve only went for the pool party. but I was not able to take pictures because we were being thrown into the pool so I had to put my phone away. Well, lots of people in the pool, clubbing music, lots of dudes, chics also. 1st experience. Not sure why people like the song “umbrella”. Quite a funny song if u ask me but then again. I’m not fond of hip-hop and rap music. Okay. Time to sign off. Will have more in the days to come.. 1st week in a new life.
